Tha purpose of iho club Is ex actly iwbst It Is snnottuced to be, aDd nothing else—to put In control of the city’s affairs meu who can bo depended upon to enforce with reasonable strict* ocas the laws already in force. As it is admitted that ilio men named by the club are atich men, and aa every good citizen ought to des.ro tbe enforcement of tho laws, we sco no reason lor bitter factional opposition to tho club’s t <;l»ct.

The respectful refusal of tbe club to withdraw Its candidates *t. this late day in the campaign seems to us to hove been the only possible course. To have withdrawn tbe ticket would have made It Impossible, very nearly, to havo secured tho oonscut of meu to be come canddstcs ou occasions hereafter when similar movements nmy become necessary. It Is much better for tho duh to suffer defeat in the election than to make reform movements Impossible. CANADA'S CURRENCY. Rradsireet's had un instructive aril* ule on the experience of Canada dur ing the financial panic which preva led In this country last year and the de pression which has followed. There is s great deal of lusiruciion, wc mini:, for us Cu that experience. Caunda is Identified with this country very close ly commercially aud Industrially. The ooocttlous which prevail there are very much the same ns In this country, so far us they affect commerce and Indus try, except that Canada has a curren cy system entirely different from our owu. Canada had no panic. Not for a moment did anybody lose eonlidcuec tn the currency of Ihat country. There .was no run on the banks. Money did »0t booemo any scarcer. Uiw.uess moved along just us smoothly as ever, tn splto of the fact of tt.o close con nection oil the Canadian commercial system with our owu. Since the pan e In this country was over and during the pciTod of depression which has fol lowed, Canada has been In very much better ooiul.tlnn than the' United Slates. There has been some falling off la tho volume of trade, but it is ex ceedingly slight, compared with that tn this country. In some bruuches, In deed, there has boon an Increase iussead of a decrease, and, on tho whole, tho business,of the country, as well as Its currency, has remained In a sound, healthy and profitable condition. There ta uo reason for this contrast In the experience of Caunda aud the Gulled States except tho contrast In the currency systems of tho two coun tries. The faults soil evils of our sys tem have been much discussed and are universally admitted to exist. Our trouble came about largely because lu tho effort to euro theso faults there was danger,that our government would adopt a system far more objectionable than the one lu existence. That dan ger has largely passed sway, but nev ertheless there Is yet doubt whether congress will consent to the adoption of sound principles lu tho framing of the new system which it It adm.ttcd by overybody must be created. lu view of this doubt. It seems to us, tho expe- rlenoo of Onuada Is of very gr.-at value. It tho Canadian bank ng system pro tides that country with a currency which Is abundant to do Its busjiest, and which Is so well adjusted that even the greatest pan e of modern times lu 3 great country adjolo.ng Canada, with which its business Is closely Idenrlfled, fa ll to shako or disturb tt tn any way, then It must be a good and a strong system. It Is certainly worthy of tha careful study of our Uw makers. The lUlCmoro plan, so much talke 4 about, is said to bo largely modeled upon It, though th* Canadian system does not provldo for tits redemption ot th* not** of failed bauks by tho government, sufficient safeguards are found with out that provision. THE WAY TO DO IT. Th* little city of Gresovtlls, In upper South Carol it*, baa already tnreo or four cotton mills which bar* proved to be profitable Investments. Two ol ltrge capacity are about to be built. Work upon them will begin in a few day*, and eren more mill* are already n prospect. The GrvenvtUo New*, In •pnaktug of th* construction ot the two mltli and of the effort* of the people to secure yet others, says: "So Greenville too* there things sure to look for between now and this time next year— “At lout <104.000 tn cash to be paid out to working people and to be spent here. "An Incorporated poulstlon or "Tha addition of 00,000 a month to the cash tn circulation among oar basinet?. “A home demand for more than <0.000 bales of cotton—twice as much as our to ut receipts for this year. .. • "This la • splendid showing—a gain ot n per cent. In population, of tHO.OjO In cash In circulation and of 100 per cent. In cotton receipt* in a year. It Is real, too. It la virtually done. No other town In die South has half ao good on outlook. "But If we are wise all tbli Is merely a beginning. There are three, and, perhaps, four other mill schemes in sight, and we can realise every one of them. It Is so far ao toed, but wa can do much more, con make the outlook so very much more glorious. "Our people are in tune now. Let u* keep It up. We can not afford to lei tho spirit of enterprise and progress cool. The Iron I* hut. Let us continue to strlks.” Greeny, tie has no advantages wt> cu Macon does not alio possess, and 1; is a small town compared with Macon. Being smaller and presumably with fsr less capital of Its own than Macon, it follows that Greenville can do far lees for Itself In this direction than Macon can do. Tho News' explanation tuat tbo tkwpio aro united as tUey have never been before explains why Green ville has been able to do so much, and po uts out the manner in which the people of Macon can do even more, if they ov.1l. Atl wo have to do 1s to work unitedly to develop our resources anfl take advantage of our opportuni ties to make Macon the great city It should be. Every elf zon ought to licop this fact In rolufi. Ottr city cannot be come what we all bellevo it should bo without die help of all her clt xcns. SHORT TALKS W1TH MANY PEOPLE. “Is It true, 'Mr. Sperry, that you are to take charge ot the Hotel LamerV" 1 asked the genial landlord; »t me Brown House the. other day. "Well, 1 um not quite ready to talk about tuat, but w.ll let you kuoitv all about it .u tone,' was Ute evasive answer. "Tlieu it Is true that you are to take poasessthn of the Lamer?" "All I can say now is tliat we must take care of the property. When I say we, I mea.n the Lamer House Compa ny. Yes, I'll take charge, 1 suppose, but I’m not ready to make any an nouncement to that effect yet."

What a Baltimore Physician and Athlete Soya "Why Is a blow upon the angle of a man'a Jaw-the knock-out blow of pugll- Ists-so effective and what Is the Imme diate result of euch a Wow?" In view of the recent death of Con Rlordan after a boxing bout with Cham pion Fitzsimmons tbe queitlon was put to Dr. B. Men-el Hopklnioa, himself an athlet, and also tho president die Baltimore Athletic Club. Dr. Hopkln- **“ has given etudy to anatomy and phy- Hoiogy In their relation to athletic exer- oiee*. Ha said: "It Is somewhat difficult, without en- technicalities, to de.cribs properly the knock-out Wow. The ekull rest* upon the 'atlae,' the Bret of th* bone* of tte vertebrae of the neck. The artculatlon or Joint Is simply by means of a contact with the condyles or oro- tuberanoes at the base ot the skull with two facets on the atlas. This arrange ment is rn-st favorable for movement of the heed, but Is susceptible of disloca tion. "Immedlalel.v at the base of the skull Is the foramen magnum—the great hole— which forms the passageway between the ekull cavity and the spinel canal. Through this pats me spinal portion of tho great central nervous system and the vetcbral 1 • aeries. "A blow delivered upon tho angle of tbe Jaw is. of couree. given directly *t rig#', angles to the passageway between rh* I,?dy and l.nttn.througti which passage run the wonderfully delicate structures.

Is capa ble of producing so great a shock that a man ran readily be rendered unconscious by Its effect. "An experiment Is very simple. Let any one strike himself a quick blow Just at the angle of his Jaw and ho will find-'.that ho is dazed Just in proportion to the amount of force applied. That It is pos sible to kill a nioei by such a blow has bix-n demonstrated more than once, and more Is the pity that such a thing ran bo recorded lu the realtal ot the so-called amusements. "I do not boileve that a man in good physical tratnuig, wit healthy heart and arteries and well nourished nervous sys tem, could be destroyed hy such a Wow from another man who Is his physical equal, but It would not tako a sledge hammer blow delivered upon the angle of tho Jaw to produce a thrombus or blood clot at the base of the barln of a man whose heart, arteries and nervous sys tem had been weakened by alcoholic or other excesses. "Temporary knock-outs occur daily land fatal cases are of rare occurrence. Indeed, the proportion of deaths as compared with horse racing or football Is ridicu lously small. Any man entering tho pu gilistic ring Is liable to receive a blow which will Tut hi m to sleep.' and the duration of unconsciousness Is altogether proportioned to the science of the deliv ered blow, the position of the man struck and the amount of force applied. ••Gehring, in our own city, was com pletely knocked out by Abbott about swo weeks ago.

Treasure* From Italy Furnish Them Ma terial for Envy. It Is tbe charming personality of the Countess dl Brasa whch haa made tn* lmere.it In Italian lace* so mtuked knee the great exhibit of the World * Fair. Her persistent jfforts and delightful talk* im the subject of old and new lace in Italy have aroused the desire of those who ere able to possess these beautiful bit* of feminine luxury, and cultivated a taste to learn how and where they are made. It la for this reason that the ladles or Italy, with the support and sympathy or Queen Margherlta, organized the commit- tee for the Introduction of these beautiful laces Into the United States. The Countess dl Brazza Is sn authority on lace and lace making, and Hster-In- la.w of the great explorer. Pierre dl Braz za. aha Is familiar with the needlework done by the African men and women. In less trian a year she made the most wonderful collection of antique laces in existence. For fifty years experts have been quarreling over the question wheth er Isce was invented In Holland or In Italy. In the fifteenth or sixteenth cen tury, but the countess exhibited Egyptian costumes trimmed with net and needle lace more than 3,000 years before Christ, and bobbins and bobbin laces taken from the tombs of the Roman empire. This study of laces is most Interesting, as all patterns have a history connected with the period In which they were made. A short description, however, of some of the Italian laces now on exhibition at the room* of Hie Society of Decorative Art, No. 28 West Twenty-first street, will per haps arouse the curiosity of those favored of fortune and deepen the interest In the lace workers who spend their lives front early childhood unUl age unfits thorn in "weaving threads in and out." First are Shown a set of flounces, a copy of those belonging to the crown, and were made especially by order of Napoleon I. as a present for Cardinal Betz. This lace represents great medal lions. containing flowers and doves, on a line tulle ground,’ held together by bows and garlands of ribbon on a largo mesh ground. It Illustrates the Innovation which was introduced In 1807—that of shading flowers—and Is marked at <38 a yard. A set of bridal laoes is made In exquisite design of daisies, and Is one yard In length before it repea.s tself. It Is called the "Marguerite" pattern. A veil belongs to this set which ts valued at <10,000. What bride would not wish to W Among pieces of Argcntan lace made so fashionable by Mme. de Malntenon wo And berthas and smaller sets, but the queen of Italy possesses the most beau tiful existing examples of this Argentan point. A yoke of Venetian carved point, another of antique roze, flounces of point d’Alencon and copied from the crown laces of Louis XV. and Louis XVI., and a beau, tlful piece of rose point copied from that of the Empress Marie Louise, now In possession of tho Countess Bonin, are others in the exhibit. A description of these laces is almost impossible. One must see them and touch them to appreciate their wondorful beau ty and gossamer texture. "The study of laces open to us a new world,” says the countess "and through It we are enabled to come In touch with the women of antiquity working at their looms and embroidery frames." The countess haa been Invited to lee ture upon her beloved laceworkers In Phil- adelphla on November 22, and is to be tendered a reception nt the Art Club In behalf of “Art, Industry and Humanity.” That the countess Is a..reformer and a worker for the good of the wage win ners no one can doubt wlho listens to her Interesting stories of her own schools and pupils. She ts In great sympathy with the women's work during the past few weeks In our city, and expresses herself greatly pleased with the result, which she feels cannot but help our women to the satisfaction ot their ambitions.

They have one child, a lovely lit tle girl, who travels with them every where. The family live during tho fash- lonable season In Rome: tn the summer, at their boauUful castle at Brazza, near Venice, whero the countess Is well known and beloved for her philanthropy.
