Ill The Senate. A bill has been introduced in the Senate o amend art. 3, sec¬ tion 9, paragraph 1, of the Consti- tucioi), so as to allow members of the General Assembly a fixed sal- ary of $300; only the President of the Senate and Speaker of the House being paid per diem, Tmld’ft Temperance BUI. “A’blll to be entitled an act to prohibit the licening and selling of intoxicating liquors within the state of Georgia in less quantities than a quart and to regulate the sale of the same in quantities more than a quart and to provide a penalty therefor, and for other purposes. “Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Georgia, That from and after the act, it shall not be lawful for any state, county or municipal authorities in said state, to grant license for the sale of any intoxicating liquors, nor shall it be lawful for any per son to sell the same in less quan¬ tities than a quart. “Sec. 2.

As the present'lease of the Wes- tern andlAtlantic read will shortly expire the'cjuestion of paying the “betterments” asked for by the lessees will surely come up . for settlement. An idea of what the lessees want may be had from the following letter: “His Excellency Hon. W. j. Northern Dear Sir—On the 27th of December next the present lease of the State road entered in¬ to between the state of Georgia and the Western and Atlantic Railroad Company will expire, The claim of the lessees for im- provements upon tne property and paid in Tennessee aggregat- i»£ (according to the report of the commission to the general assem- 18.88} about $550,000 re- mains unadjusted. T he lessees Relieve the claim in its entirety to be just. If it should not all be, a portion of it seems to be coneed- ed. There is, therefore, in my judgment, some action by the gen¬ eral assembly advisable in order to prepare the way for an amica¬ ble settlement. •The lessees desire in every way possible to avoid any tions which might grow out of a failure to reach a fair settlement, May we not, therefore, respectful- ly ask that- you invite the atten- tion of the general assembly to the question.

Col. Candler was countics . H c had m. organized Alliance nor Republican candidate to help him—but let us make some comparisons: Li ^ ie receil t election there were polled 17,535 votes, Winn received 1 o, 3 1 5; Pickett received 4,087; Darnell received 3 , 133 - Winn beat Pickett 6,228; He beat Darnell 7 -'82, and beat them both 3 - 095 - Pickett beat Darnell 954 - 1 wo years ago there were polled in the district 21,400 votes Candler received j 1,481, - and Pickett received 9,919. Candler’s majority, 1,562. Winn’s majority over Pickett’s vote of two years ago, 39 6 - Candler’s majority of two years ago over Winn’s pi esent vote, 1,166 Candler’s Pickett’s majorify of 2 years ago ovei present vote, 7,394 Candler’s majority of two years ago over the present vote of Dar¬ nell and Pickett combine:!, 4,2gi It is estimated that there are 6,000 white and 2,000 colored Re¬ publican voters in the district, but Darnell received only ro 1 Go leaving a surplus of 8 which he couldn’t corral. This shows several things: First, it shows that with a strong Independent in the fielu the Dem¬ ocrats would have been tetotally swamped. Second, it shows that with’ a strong Democrat in the field this Independentism would have been too dead to skin. Third, it shows that if the Re¬ publicans had put out a man who could hove commanded the re¬ spect of the party he could have elected easy as winkin.’ Fourth, it shows that vve gone through a dangerous experiment, have been saved by the skin the teeth. The theory that whisky is nec- essary in the treatment of oneu- monia has received a blow from Dr. Bull, of New York City, who that in the New York 65 per cent of the pneu- monia patients die with ulccho.ic while in London, at Obiect Lesson Temperance Hospital, only 5 per cent die. The Hartford Courant says it was not a democratic uprising but republican sit-down. This is only a partial statement ot the case. To make it complete the Courant should have added that when the Republican party sit down it found the stool missing—- with the usual result. Having done this the Courant would have been in position to dicuss intelli¬ gently the burning question ot the hour: Who moved the stool?— Macon Telegraph.
