MAKE TAE POOR HAPPY.
If there is one thing more than another
tha"t makes the hearts of true men and
women happy, it is to see little children
enjoying themselves at Christmas times.
The parents cheerfully prepare for the
pleasures of the little ones at this time,
10 which all little chiidren look forward
to with so much pleasure,
Yet there are many children every
where, some in Dawson especially, that
will see no Christmas’ unles; some good
person provides for them; from the fact
that their parents are in such pecuniary
circumstances as to forbid them making
any outlay for the pleasures of Christ
mas.
It is plainly the duty of those who are
more fortunately situated to do some
thing to make others happy, and there
is no way in which this can be done bet
ter that providing some means to make
the poor children of Dawson happy by
some little present. ‘

It is reported that Hon. W. Y. Atkin-i
son will withhold the announcement of
his candidacy for governor until after‘
the holidays. It is given out that when ‘
his anmoucement is made he will resign'
the chairmanship of the democratic ex-}
ective committee, and ihat he will then
begin the campaign with the determina
tion to stump every county in the state. |

How many announcements, pray, is it
going to take to get Mr. Atkinson
squarely in the field as a canaidate for

other, mebody will object, provided he
doesa't want the press of the state to
handle it as news.—Albany Herald.

’ CORBETT IN AUGUSTA.
From the Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
| Tuesday was evidently the tield day of
the Augusta exposition, This was not
merely because the Vice President of the
United States, and two members of the
president’s cabinet—Secretary Herbert
and Secratary Hoke Smith, and Congress
men Springer and Sperry, were among
the visitors. That would bave been suf
ficient of itself to make it a big day, and
one long to be lemembered. There were
other distinguished visitors, conspicuous
among whom were Gent'eman Jim Cor
‘bett, the champion pugilist of America,
‘and his emiuent trainer. There was a
great crowd, trembling with enthusiasm.
From the account it is difficult to say
whether it was Stevenson's day or Jim
Corbett’s, with the presumption leaning
towards the latter. To make the occa
sion interesting, Corbett gave an exhibi
tion of the specialty in which he is so
famous, and during his performance the
distinguished gentlemen from.yashing-l
ton occupied seats of honor on the plat-|
form and gave Mr. Corbett the closest l
attention. Corbett was attired in cream i
colored tights and fighting shoes, and |
his trainer, Professor Donalidson, stood’
in the ring with him and was pummelled
in the most scientific way, to the great
delight of the distinguished auditory.
At the end of the mill, Secretary!
Smith, who had been an intezested spec- ”
tator, turned to Congressman Springer,l
who had been equally interested, and
said: “Well, that's a harmless and in
teresting exhibition.”
Then Corbett was brought up and in
troduced to the vice presidential party.
All shook hands cordially and each said
he was glad to see him. Secretary Smith,
with his lawyer habit, put the pugilist
throuch the following cross-examination:
““When do you fight Mitchell?”
“«January 25,”" Corbett replied.
«‘How much do you weigh now?"
““About 190 pounds.” \
“How much do you train down fol the
fight?”’
“Oh, I am at fighting weight now,”
said Corbett. “I amin condition. lam
a little knocked just now by this climate, I
but I will be over thatin a few days.”
“‘Well, I hope you'l! win,”’ said the rec
retary, smilingly.
“I'll do my best, and think I ought to
win,”’ said Corbett.
Here the party separated, Corbett again
shaking hands with Pice-’resident Ste
venson, who again assured him that he
was glad to see him.
The next morning the Chronicle in a
highly commendatory vein, paid its re
spects to the extraordinary occasion in a
half column editorial, in the zourse of
which it said:
#Since the day when crowned heads
lent their presence to the feats of the
‘amphitheatre, or in more modern times
‘since the Priuce of Wales gave his hand
to John L. Sullivan, no gladiator ever
was so honored as was James J. Corbett,
of California, champion pugilist of the |
world, yesterday at the Augusta exposi- |
tion, when the vice-president of the |
United States, two members of the pres
ident's cabinet, several distinguished
members of congress, and the mayor of a
great city, with other distinguished citi-‘
zens, occupied chairs within the sixteen |
faot ring in which he gave an exhibition 1‘
of his n.arvelous fistic skill, in three |
rounds with his trainer, Professor Don
aldson.
“Jt was a unique sight, possible only
perhaps in democratic America, and yet
every man in that vast audience that filled
the grand stand and the grounds in front,
| felt prouder of his country and of the
ic mmon sense of its rulers when he saw
‘ thiese men, high in authority, grasp Co.-
i bhett's gloved hand and smile approvingly
on this perfect prodact of the ‘‘manly
! art of self defense.”” Itis a glorious
tlm{xghtthat our rulers are men of flesh
and blood, who are not above grasping
the hand of the humblest citizen of the
republic; that no court etiquette or rigid
formality removes them beyond the ap
proach of the people, or out of touch
with their fellowmen, and that—
‘Fonor and shawme from no condition rise
{ Act well your pait, there all the honor
l lies.” ”?
[ The “stomach dance’ show, a sort of
! Midway Plaisance combination which
set Chdsago and Augusta on their heads,
appeared at the opera house in Atlanta
{ the other night, proved to be too tame
ian affair for that city. The chief objec
| jection of the Atlanta audience seems to
have been that the women in the show
‘ wore too many clothes.

that it is in full possession cf it, what is
it going to do about it? The president’s
message shows that it bas been in good

seen whether cofigress will improve the
situation. Mr. Clevelaud has exercised
good judgment in ascertaining the ex-j

now given to congress. With this basis ‘

By all means make way for Kansas. It

be the banner republican state.
Now that the banking committee has
reported favorably on the proposed re J\

banks, it is to be hoped that both houses
of congress will treat the measurefin a
purely democratic manner.
It is hard to find a newspaper in Geor

General Evans as governor a foregone
conclusion. The newspapers and the
people are certainly t gether this pop.
