The defeat of Hal Lewis shows
that something more than nominating
a candidate for the presidency is nec
essary to secure a senatorship. But
really, Mr. Lewisis a nice and a desery
ing man,
Mark Hanna announces that he will
close the republican headquarters at
Chicago and locate them permanently
at Washington. Looks asif he were
drawing the net closer and closer
around McKinley.
It is evident that the present Geor
gia legislature was not organized to
kill off legislation so much as to encum
ber the already overloaded statute
books. We would venture to suggest
that the best legislator is the one who
introduces the least number of bills
and Kkills the most. ‘
A Dbill to prohibit the use of free
passes by legislators has been intro
duced in the general assembly, and
the Columbus ILedger wants to know
why should a man desire to go to the
legislature in Georgia if he can no
longer ride on free passes and frank his
telegrams. Legislative ambition is now
all vanity.
The Augusta Chronicle gives edito
rial prominence to the fact that Mr.
C. D. Lane, a California mine owner
and millionaire, is anxious to pay Mr.
Bryan’s expenses if he will keep up
the silver agitation for four years. Mr,
Lane is so anxious to have the people
‘‘educated” that he is willing to pay
the cost of it.
The congress which will assemble
December, 1897, unless President Mec-
Kinley shall call it together in special
sssion before that time, will contain
130 democrats, 207 republicans and 22
populists. This is a gain of 36 demo
crats over the last congaess and reduces
the net majority of their opponents to
b 5 members., And yet something was
said about a repuablican landslide.
An illustration of the proverb that it
is an ill wind that blows nobody good
oscurred the other day in Indiana. A
whirlwind visited the Decatur section.
It gathered all of the corn off several
farms and deposited it on the land of
oneman. This man refuses to give it
up unless it can be identified and its
ownership proved by the parties claim
ing it. The claimants bhave begun a
lawsuit to recover their property. A
Solomon is in immediate demand at
Decatur,
The New York police board has
broken through the ecolorline for the
first time and appointed a colored man
a special policeinan. Heretofore po
lice boards of New York have declined
to invest colored men with the power
to arrest. Southern cities have em
ployed colored men on their police
forces for years. For along time a
colored man was one of the lieutenants
of police of Charleston; and he made a
very good, reliable and efficient officer.
So far as is known to the contrary, he
is still occupying the position.
Senator Marion Butler of North
Carolina serves notice upon Mr. Bryan
that he need not hope for populist en
dorsement in the event of his candida
cy for the presidency four years hence,
unless he repudiates the name of dem
ocrat and declares himselef squarely a
populist, or something else meaning
exactly the same thing. Butler’s pa
per, the Caucasian, of Raleigh, says:
“We take the liberty of serving notice
on Mr. Bryan that if Qe desires to
headhe reform forces of the people’s
party in the next fight he must do so
under some other name than that of
democrat. We are done with them
now and forever, and also with any
man who secks to lead the people here
after” under that party name. This
is richness, coming from the boss fy
sionist of the recent campaign,
In the winter of 1805, whenla grippe
was so pievalent, Mr. S T. Wiley, a well
known school teacher of Gibbon Glade,
Fayette Co., Pa., had a very severe at
tack. In order toget rid of it as quickly
as possible he purchased a bottle of
Chamberlain’s “ough Remedy. It gave
him prompt and permanent relief. He
says: ‘‘Since then I have used it when
ever attacked by any throat trouble, and
it has always effected a prompt cure, 1
am very much pleased to certify to the
flicacy of this great romedy.” For sale

i THIS HAPPENED IN MACON.
¥ A pathetic case has come {to
light in Macon—a man spending
four months in jail and being indicted
by the grand jury for stealing bread
with which to sustain life. A tele
graph operator by the nameof W. T,
Downs was nearly famished, having
been without food for several days. Ee
walked up toa house by the roadside,
knocked on the door and, receiving no
answer, entered and found no one at
home. On the table were some pieces
of fish and bread, which he ravenously
devoured. The house belongs to a man
by the name of Williams, who, on dis
covering the theft, had Downs arrest
ed and prosecuted him. Ac
cording to the newspaper accounts
Downs did nottouch anything else in
the house, although there were
other articles of more value ex
posed. If the heartless Williams could
but feel the pinch of hunger himself it
might put more soul in his selfish bos
onl.
One of the worst snow storms since
1888 struck western Nebraska last Fri
day and the loss of cattle and sheep
was enormous. Over 18 inches of snow
fell in ten hours and the weather was
miserable, Coal took a jump at Mec-
Cook, Neb., from $6 to $7 per ton on

BILL T 0 CUT OFF ELECTIONS.
FOUR YEAR TERMS FOR GOVERN
OR AND LEGISLATORS,
Mr. Webb, of Cherokee County, Intro
duces the Measure ia the Low
er House of the Gen
eral Assembly.
With a view to simplifying politics, Mr,
Webb of Cherokee has intr « uced a bili
in the lesislature which changes the
term of the governor from two to four
years and makes him ineligible for re
election.. By the same authora bill was
introduced t» change tLe term of legisla
t rs from two to four years and to make
the sessions of the legislature bi-annual
instead of anoual. “There are too many
elections in Georgia for the good of the
people,” said Mr. Webb, “and my bill
is for the purp se of cutting some of
them off. Under the constitution as it
now stands, the governor is elected for
two years. The custom is to give him
the indorsement of a second term. This
gives him four years in the office. My
bill seeks to do away with this extra
el-ction, which is a useless expense to
the g-vernor and the people under the
custom as 1t now exists, There is a
great temptation for the governor under
the present law to use his office for the
purpose of having himself re-elected,
My other bill looks toward the same end,
cutting off of elections and making poli
tics purer than they are. 1f legislators are
elected only once every four years, much
of the trading now going on for office
will be cut off. The people are ripe for
this change and I believe the bill will
pass and the constitutional amendment
ratified by the people.”

“I'M GOING TO DIE.”
Lisped the Four-year-old to His Father.
A Premonrnition,
An interesting and singular incident
of a premonition of death has just been
brought about through the death of lit
tle Jimmie Wickersham of Greenficld,
O. He died Monday and was not yet 4
years of age.
Five days previous to his death,when
apparently in the best of health, he
came to his papa, and in his childish
prattle said, ‘‘Papa, I'm going to be
sick, awful sick, and I’m going to die.”
Within three days afterward he con
tractcd a severe oold, but it was not
considered sericus. Nothing further was
thoughit of his remarks of the previous
day until Sunday evening, when he was
taken suddenly worse, and he again re
peated what he bad told his papa to his
grancdma, and at an early hour yester
day wmorning he died.
His childish words of but a few days
previous were proved to be only too
true. It is the talk of the community
as being a most remarkable case of pre
monition in one g 0 youthful.—Cincin
nati Enquirer.

An Eleoction Romance.
A matrimonial romange has come out
of the whirl of pelitics at Republican
héadquarters in Chicago. C. L. Mfe
lmnz, who has been sacretary of the Ger
man bureau, and Miss Ella C. Phillips
of Memphis, who was a stenographer in
that department, eloped to Milwaunkea
and were married at the First German
Methodist church the other night. The
humor of the episode lies in the faot that
the marriage was contingent on the elec
tion of McKinley..
During several years residence in the
far west J had mapy opportunities for
observing the wonderful effects of Cham
berlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy. 1t efficacy was demonstrated
in the alkali regions where the water
produces violent purging. It allayed
the attack when all other remedies fail
ed. Irepeatedly saw the greatest dis
tress and diarrhoea cured in a few min
utes. I used the remedy myself with the
most satisfactory results, and zan rec
ommend it for the complaints for which
it is indicated. H. Y. GILINGHAM, ed‘t
