f.-or, CANDLER'S MESSAGE.
We regret that lnck of space pre
vents us from printing this week the
message of Qov. Candler to the Gen
eral Assembly. We regard it as an
able document, reviewing in plain
spoken words, characteristic of every
thing from his pen, the different de
partments of State government with
special recommendations in keeping
with the wisdom and patriotism which
have guided his successful adminis
tration. While the people of Georgia
and the General Assembly may differ
from him in regard to one or more of
the measures recommended, yet no
one doubts that the highest aim of
our Chief Executive is to promote the
common weal, udvoenting boldly and
learicssly the measures he thinks will
best accomplish this result. Gov.
Caudler, like many of his predeces
sors, lias won the affection and in
spired the confidence of the people of
Georgia, and his plsin blunt expres
sions arc always full of meaning and
weighty in consequences. The Gen
eral Assembly will heed his warnings,
and the people of (leorgia, front Rabun
Gap to Tybee light, rejoice to hoar
him say that “Georgia and her peo
ple are in better conduiuii tuan «i
any lime In the last forty years.”
Ilis prediction 4 "that the people of
lho Empiro State are entering upon
an unprecedented era of prosperity”
will hear much fruit iu affecting llie
result predicted. The sound financial
condition of the State Treasury, her
rapid Increase in taxable property,
the good condition of tier institutions,
the wlao and economical administra
tion of all Die affairs of .State—as ex
hibited in Die message—enequrage
all classes of busiuess men to put their
shoulders to the wheels of progrcBH
with hotter spirits and renewed en
ergy. It is a source of gratification
to the people that Die affairs of State
are In such good condition that no
very radical changes are looked for
or predicted in tlio message. There
is apparently no question to be sub
mitted to the Ueuernl Assembly
which will arouse the whole people of
Die State, because of huatod discus
sion and bitter antagonisms, charac
terising many formet sessions. Public
opinion, as reflected by the Press of
the State, indicates a willingness on
Din part of Dio people to HUbmll all
questions to the General Assembly,
composed as it is of a body-of men
capablo and willing to protect the In
terest ol the people.
We print oelow a condensed sum
mary of the message, clipped front Die
Atlnnta Dally News of the *24tI) Inst:
“1 recommend that an amendment
to the Constitution he submitted to
the people to authorize the Governor
by executive order to change the ve
nds iu all criminal cases when, in Ills
judgment, or that of Die Judge of the
Superior Court of Die county in which
Die crime is alleged to have been
committed, it is necessary to protoct
the prisoner from violence and secure
the orderly enforcement of the law.
“I recommend that the law be so
amended as to tlx the Stale school
fund at 11,000,000 per auuum, to he
distributed among the counties as
now provided by law, but that the
ainouut apportioned to no county
shall he available until that county
Bhall have raised, by taxation, upon
the taxable property within its own
borders, an amount not less than 40
per cent, of its share of the Stato
school fund.
1 earnestly advise this General As
sembly to enact some law which will
compel the tax law dodger to hear his
just share of the burdens of Govern
ment.
The time has come when the Stale
should provide a home for those old,
decrepit aud worn-out Confederate
Boldiers who are homeless and friend
less and uuable to work for them
selves.
I earnestly recommend that the
Governor be authorized to employ at
an anuual salary - of not exceeding
$2,000, some fit aud proper person to
compile aud superintend the publica
tion of all unpublished manuscripts,
books aud papers yet available, bear
ing on her colonial aud revolutionary
period aud ou her part iu the war of
secession.
“1 recommend tlio passage of an Act
which will, independently of institut
ing criminal proceedings, secure Die
utmost good faith iu the making of
pauper oaths. Such an act should be
so framed as to fully protect those
who aro really poor, aud at the same
time prevent perjurors from litigating
in the Supreme Court at the expense
of the State, and iu the trial courts at
the expense of their fellow citizens.
In the interest o( good government
and in the interest of the negro r.ice,
1 recommend nu amendment to the
Constitution providing for a qualifica
tion sulfrage based ou an educational
or a property qualification, or both.
I recommend that no appropriation
be made for the military for the year
1901, but that $20,000 be appropriated
for the year 1902.”

Hon. John Sherman Dud.
Washington, Oct. 22.—Hon. John
Sherman, tormer representative In
Die house, for a long term a member
of the Souate and twice holdlug Cab
inet positions, died at his residence in
this city at h quarter before 7 o’clock
this morning, in the 78r,h yeur of his
age. His death had been expected
for some days, and loving friends
gave him their unremitting care to
the end.
The immediate cause of death was
described iih brain exhaustion incident
to extreme weakness due to old age
and to several Attacks of sickness
from which he had suffered for the
past year and a half.
Hince Saturday afternoon Mr. Sher-
■nuu had been most of the time un
conscious, rallying partially at inter
vals, when slight nourishment was
given him. Yesterday afternoon ev
idences of Die approaching end were
manifest, and he failed to regain con
sciousness alter 8 o’clock, passing
"way peacefully Just after dawn
broke. ,
About' 1 o’clock this morning he
rallied somewlmt. (rain the stupor aud
turned himself ovor in bod, but after
that lie gradually sunk until the end
came.
During the day and evening a num
ber of inquiries were made at the
house concerning the condition of Die
sick man, President McKinley being
among those who sent to ask about
him.
Several days ago, realizing Die
critical condition of Mr. Sherman, Die
members of the household ami rela
tives here sent telegrams to a large
number of tlio family connections
throughout Die country notifying
them of liis extreme illness, and some
were able to roach hero before ho
died.
Most of thorn who arrived were at
the bedside when the end came, in
cluding Mr. and Mrs. Colgate Hoyt,
of Now York, Mr. Frank Wlborg, of
Cincinnati, Mrs. William K. Otis, of
New York city, Tocumaeli Sherman,
a sun of Die late Gen. Sherman,
Charles M. Sherman, of Chicago, aud
Mias Lizzie Sherman. Olliers who
were at the bedside wore Mrs. James
McCallum, Die udopted daughter, who
hud been his constant attendant, and
her liusbund.
Mr. and Mrs. Miles, a niece of Mr.
Hliertuau, were at Die house a greater
portion of the day aud evening, but
li ft for tliolr homo shortly after mid
night. They wore summoned when
it was aparunt that death was near
and reached Die house a few mouieuts
alter the venerable statesman lias
passed away.
Secretary Sherman’s death occurred
in the handsome home on K street
which he had erected eight years ago.
It is a large double structure, with
white stone front and witli a hall run
ning thruugh the middle. The liouso
fronta ou Franklin square. Some
weekH ago the secretary deeded this
valuable property to Mrs. McCallum.
The secretary was a large holder of
real estate iu this city, haviug invest
ed extensively in that lino from time
to time ' during his residence hero.
Conservative estimates of his wealth
place it at a round million dollars,
most of which 1b invested in Wash
ington real estate. Other investments
consist of securities, and it is stated
that the old family home at Mans
field, O., remained in his possession,
notwithstanding reports that he had
disposed of it prior to bis return to
Washington last month.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they canuot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only oue way to cure deaf
ness, and that Is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness la caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a
rumbling Bound or imperfect hearing,
and when it Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the In
flammation cun he taken out aud this
tube restored to its n< rmal condition,
hearing will he destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are cansed by
J Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
humed condition of the mucous sur
faces.
| We will give Oue Hundred Dollars
for auy case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
| Hull’s Catarrh Cure. Send for olrcu-

|China Wants Peace,
New York, Oct. 24.—A dispatch
to the Herald from Pekin says: A pre
liminary convention between China
and the combined powers has been
proposed hy Prince Ohing aud Li
Hurg Chang. It is sa follows:
Article 1. Laying seige to the le
gations ot foreign ministers as high
offeusi- ..gainst one of the important
principles of international laws. No
country can possibly tolerate such a
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect, and promises
that it will never occur again.
Article 2. China admits her liabil
ity to pay an indemnity for the va
rious losses sustained oil this occasion
and the powers will each appoint of
ficials to examine and present all
ciainiB lor a final consultation aud
settlement. k
Article 3. As to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these
matters nre t.o be dealt with, whether
tlie old treaties should continue, or
new conventions should be made,
slightly adding to the old treaties or
cancelling the old treaty and nego
tiating now ones. Any of these plans
may be adopted and when China
lias approved them further special
regulations can lie made in each case
as required.
Article 4. This convention will be
made hy China with the combined
powers to cover the general princi
ples which apply to all alike. After
this settlement, the foreign ministers
will remove the seals they caused to be
used iu various parts of Tsung Li Ya-
men, and then the Yamen ministers
may go to the Yamen and attend to
businessusHHusual. And lurtlier, each
power should arrange its own special
afflfalr WithChiuaso that separatetrea-
ties may be settled iu due order.
When the various items of indemnity
nre ail arranged properly or an un
derstanding has been reached about
them Die powers will successively
withdraw their troops.
Article 5. The troops sent to Chi
na by the powers are for the protec
tion of the ministers and for no other
purpose. When the negotiations be
gin for Die the treaties of peace each
power should first declare an armis
tice.
Gold may be the key to society, but
poverty is the strongest barrier.
