The Sewerage Bonds.
The City Council Wednesday passed
an ordinance looking to the issuin
of bonds for sewerage, etc. In order
to test the legality of the question,
and have it all right, an order has
been issued for an election on the
27th day of December next, to get an
expression from the people as to their
wishes.
Two-thirds of the qualified voters
must approve the plan,else it can not
bo carried out. Now as different
ideas prevail about the matter we
would suggest a calm and dispas
sionate discussion of it both pro and
con. We have a month before us to
think over every interest involved
und to determine what is best to be
done. The Advertiser-Appeal will
approve the plan with certain strong
restrictions.
Our Sidewalks.
We again call the attention of the
‘‘powers that bo” to the condition of
our sidewalks, wherever a pipe has
been put in. Pedestrians can locate
one of these pipes months afterwards
wherever put in. The bricks are
either above grade an inch or else
there is a depress,' u left in ihe walk.

put a stop to tbm. n ...,ot on this
subject we wish I, again refer to a
suggestion once made before: That
parties laying ainewalks should make
them higher next to the building than
on the edge next to the street. A
failure to observe this rule leaves the
walks flat, and after a shower .pedes
trians have to pick their way to
avoid stepping into pools of water.

Returned Safely.
The Brunswick Riflemen and the
Atlantic Band reached the city yester
day at noon from Columbus, whither
they have been to “ illustrate Bruns
wick,” report having a splendid
time, and the very best treatment.
The universal verdict of all the mili
tary there was that tlu-y all wanted
to come to St. Simons next spring,,
without fail. Those who had not yet I
been to the sea shore, but had si in- j
ply heard of it, were as eager as the j
others. From all we can learn, our j
boys, neither civilian nor military,]
hung their heads, when the Atlantic
Bund made the music; they were ns
proud of the hand ns of the “Sojer

Five out of every six of the per

the women are the opposite. All say
that they retire and rise early, and

It is said that there will be prohi
bition legislation proposed during the
session of the legislature. The order
nnd peace-loving people of the State
will not make a vigorous protest
against it. Indeed, there are rea
sons for thinking that the majority
of them will approve it.
It will not bo denied that the
counties which have adopted prohi
bition are in a much more prosper
ous condition than they were before
they closed the barrooms within
their limits. Crime nnd pauperism
in them have diminished in a re
markable degree, nnd the people are
happier and far better off in every
respect.

Too Good to iieeii.
The following dialogue betwi
Eddleinuii’s L’istol.
Atlanta, Nov. 17.—It is stated
that George II. Eddlcman, who was
recently acquitted of the crime of
murder for the killing (of Thomas-C.
Gresham in this city, came near tig
n luring conspicuously in another
druggist Hodges and a drummer is
too good to keep:
Hodges—“Why, how are you old
fellow? You are looking so much
better. That bottle of medicine I
fixed up for you was just the thing,
wasn’t it? It just built you up.”
i Drummer, grinning mischievous
ly—“Well, not exactly. I didn’t
take your medicine at all; hut got
some medicine from another fellow.”
The bystanders whooped, and
George, seeing the cream of the joke
as well as the rest, joined in with all
his might.
President Cleveland’s Fortune.
t'lnra Bollc's Letter to l’lillmlmlelphla Press,
Grover Cleveland is worth about
$250,000. That is the estimate of a
well-advised personal friend. He
had something like $100,000 when
he became President. He had prac
tised law profitably for many years,
had held the lucrative office of sheriff
in Buffalo, had lived well within his
income while governor, and had in
vested his savings eircumlatively,
During his four years at Washing
ton these investments will have in
creased to about $150,000. He re
tains about half his presidential
salary $50,000 a year, and so will
have a quarter of a million on March
4 next. One who professes to know
it all, predicts that Cleveland and
Larnont will be a law firm in this
city, hut others, who know the Presi
dent very well indeed, believe that
he will not return to the practice of
the law or to any other active pur
uits. His only business, they think,
will he to derive by careful invest
ments a living income from his capi
tal.
shooting scrape yesterday in Daniel’s
grocery store in Madison.
While Eddlcman and several
friends were engaged in conversation,
a man by the name of Winn eaino up
and joined in with the party. Ed-
dlemau asked him what lie wanted
and told him that he had not been
invited to take part in the conversa
tion. The man retorted by calling
Eddleman a liar.
Eddlcman answered by saying: If
I hadn’t got into trouble in Atlanta
I’d hit you iu mouth. This is the
first time I ever took the lie off of
any man.
At this Winn threw his hand be
hind him as if to draw a pistol.
Seeing this Eddleman drew his
pistol and appeared to be about to
use it when friends interfered the dif
ficulty prevented.

There is no present danger of illit
eracy in Germany. The school chil
dren are so overweighted with school
books that the police in the cities
have been instructed to take the
names and addresses of children car
rying more books than their strength
will permit, so that their parents may
be brought into court and lined for
permitting them to be overloaded.
At a recent meeting of the directo
ry of the Americas, Preston and
Lumpkin railroad it was agreed that
a bill be presented to the general as
sembly, asking that the name Amer
icas, Preston and Lumpkin railroad
be changed to the Savannah, Amcrl-
cus and Montgomery road. This
road lias been the salvation of Amur-
icus and also of the country sur
rounding it.
A Probable Democratic Majority.
Atlanta Comu'lu.'oa. ~
According to the latest returns, the
' Republicans will have the House by
au extremely slender majority, nnd
some well-informed persons in Wash
ington are of the opinion that the
Democrats will have a small majority.
In a great many districts where it
was at first supposed the Republicans
had elected their candidates, serious
errors have been discovered, and re
counts have been ordered by the
courts. In some instances the an
nounced result has been reversed,
and in this way the alleged Republi
can majority of the fifteen has been
gradually cut down until now it is
said to be not more than four, and
even this may he wiped out.
Naturally, the Republican organs
are beginning to protest against this
systematic revision of hnsty counts
throughout the country; but if the
revision added to their majority in
the House, instead of tending to
wipe it out, we should henr nothing
from them except loud nnd long-
continued applause.
As a matter of fuel, the Republi
cans are so uneasy that Chairman
Quay has telegraphed to a number
of Republican governors throughout
the country to withhold the certifi
cates of Democratic congressmen un
til the Republican managers can get
a better understanding of the situa
tion.
Such is politics.
