It looks like the free pass would evap orate with the April shower. Si.ateh made too early in the cam paign are apt to warp and crack before they are revealed. The Atlanta Constitution is a mind reader. It sees railroad scoops long be fore the scoop scoops. The question whether an express train running into a prohibition town is a jug* ger-naut has never been settled. Since ihe government refused to open the harbor of Savannah that city stands in danger offieing a dry town. (Ten. Alkxanukims having the Cen- trul Railroad cars painted wine color. Wo trust this will prevent further water ing of the stock. Editor Gantt has turned his horse head to Carolina. He will soon ride over the lino of the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Railroad. The young men of Athens should by all means organize s military company. Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta and Macon, in the order named have excellent vol unteer organizations, and there is no reason why Athens should not furnish the State with as fine a body of citizen soldiers as any city in the South. We have here a hundred or more young men between eighteen and thirty years of age, who only require some lit tle persuasion to connect themselves with a military organization. Such an i organization properly officered will cer tainly become a success. It is no ex aggeration to say that everything depends upon the commander. If he is magnetic and full of fire and zeal, he will commu nicate to each member of his corps some of that zest and love that are sure to carry the company onward and forward. The Savannah volunteer organizations are magnificently officered, and much of the success of Atlanta’s crack corps, the Guard and the Horse Guards^ is due to the personal magnetism of Captain Burke and Captain Milledge, who have inspired each soldier wit ha real soldier's love for his command.

The Augusta Chronicle would voto the Georgia mule a bounty. The Chron icle dosen’t believe in kicking the Geor. gia mule when he is down. Fifteen thousand dollars were paid in legacies last week to Mr. G. Toombs and members of his family from the es- tate of the late Robert Tootnbs. The street fountains well mounted might take the place of the street sprink ler, after all. The exchanges of nature are wholesome and harmonious. It is as good as settled that prohibit tion has not dampened the business of Athens one dollar’s worth. Business has gone on “prospering and to prosper.” Ex-Treasurer Vincent, of Alabama, after two years of wandering in Mexico, comes back tamely enough to Alabama to answer for einbezlemenl of State funds. At noon in London the other day the city became as dark as if the hour was midnight It is supposed that the Amer ican eagle was Hying over the tow n at the time. The Knights of Labor in Chicago have hit upon a novel way evading the law against the boycott. They issue circu lars praising goods which they want tabooed. The Georgia Midland is being •photo graphed in Columbus. Novel idea. A good way to fix a road to a locality du ring these blighting days of scoops, would be to photograph it. The latest railroad scoop, which the Atlanta Constitution fore-ordained has dwindled down to a wail street rumor that Mr. Alfred Sutley, of the R. A D. is to marry a sister of Mr. Robert Garrett, of the B. & O. The President believes in giving the inter-state commerce bill the be$t possi ble send off. A commission with so faith ful and patriotic a man as Ron. Wm. R. Morrison at the head will get all the good out of the experiment. Alderman Smith gives his views about street improvements in a direct and intelligent way. The people will sanction any reasonable plan looking to the permanent grading of our business streets and residence avenues.

VINDICATE THE LAW. The Banneu-Watchman believes that the policy of the Mayor in fining parties who make a practice of bringing liquor to town was wise. We must commend tho course of the City Attorney to this extent in advising the Mayor. We do not desire, as a public jonrnal, to preju dice a case now in court, but as this question has attracted public attention, we must say, that in ouropinioo, the law has been wisely and fearlessly vindi cated. The bringing of liquor to town from out side sources has grown so frequent and tiagrant as to havo drawn the law into ridicule and.contempt. Wherever deal ers or messengers have mado a Business of this traffic, they should not be able to evade the law. The prohibition law should be enforced whether right or wrong, and wo commend tho vigilance of our police officers and the decision of the tribunal which has considered the mat ter. If prohibition is not the solution to the liquor question it will soon be proven. At all events, the law must be respected, and mere who bring liquor to town and sell it, whether dealer, distiller or jug- broker, must expect full penalties for every violation. We do not regard with favor the at- tenpt to jerrymander Mr. Randall out of his district in Philadelphia any more than tho effort to sell Mr. Carlisle out of his place in Kentucky last year. Ran dall is an able and a pure man, if a nar row and selfish statesman. We trust he will get back to Congress,all the same. Besides the United States there is no nation in the world which has a revenue of $8,000,000 a month in excess of the government. The United States also, says the Columbus Enquirer, has the unique distinction of being the only gov ernment in the world that has a national legislature unequal to the task of stop ping this unnecessary drain upon the people’s pocket. Tiffany, the great New York jeweller has a wayward son who has brought sor row upon his father by marrying a wo. man with a questionable reputation. The young man has endeavored to smooth over the stained family relations by leaving his wife and going to Europe. Miss Nina Van Zandt is not mtrried, yet, and is not likely to be. The county clerk has returned the alleged marriage cetriticate to the justice who claimed to have performed the ceremony. The jus tice is reminded that as Spies is in jail and w as at the tune of the alleged mar riage, he could not have been at Jefferson where the ceremony is said to have been performed. Alas! poor woman, mis guided still! The expression of opinion upon the prohibition question by our mercantile population yesterday was full, candid, and pointed. It settles a vexed and long disputed question, and shows the world whatever effect prohibition has had upon other matters in Athens, it has not affect ed the large and constantly increasing trade of the metropolis of North-East Georgia. The O’Connor Tragedy Company have fallen into the hands of a South Carolina Sheriff. Not withstanding a few redeem ing points in the leading man’s acting the fate of the company is just It should congratulate itself on its luck in escaping other bands than the Sheriff. Rochester, N. Y., bv nil the drinking people there. He is known in this citv, Cincinnati, New Orleans, New York; in fact nil over the country, ns he has spent thousands of dollars for rum. I honestly believe his card would be worth thousands of dollars to you in this city and Balti more alone, and make thousands of sober men by inducing the use of your ^bitters. Prejudice Kill*. “Eleven yeans our daughter suffered on a bed of misery under the care of several of the best physicians, who gave her disease various names but no relief, and* now she is restored to us in good health by Hop Bitters, that wo had poohed at two years before using it. Wo earnestly hope and pray that no ono else will let their sick suffer ns wo did, on account of prejudice against so good a medicine ns Hop Bitters."—The Parents —Good Templars.

It allayed all that burning thirst; took away the appe tite for liquor; made his nerves steady; and he has renamed a steady and sober man for more than two years, and has no desire to return to his cutis, and I know of a number of others that have been cured of drinking by it."—From a leading R.
