ALBANV WEEKLY HERALD: SATURDAY, MARCH 19. 1892. 5- MOTHER ELECTION. US? WEES'S ELECTION DECLARED mu ANOTHER ORDERED FOR APRII. 1UT1I, FOR WATERWORKS AND SEWBRAOB BONDS. FncmUav at Council nl Regular III cellos liuoi Night. The City Counoll met in regular semi-monthly session at 8 o’olock last night, with the Mayor and the full hoard of Aldermen present. Immediately after the minutes of last meeting had been read and coil- firmed,.Alderman Cassidy moved that the opening and canvassing of the re turns of the eleotion held on last Tuesday on the question of Issuing bonds for waterworks and sewerage purposes be taken up. The motion prevailed, and the returns of the elec tion as made by the managers, show ing 831 votes cast “for bonds" and 26 votes for “no bonds” were read. The question of illegality, which has already., been fully set forth in the Herald, came up for consideration, and City Attorney Woot en, who had been requested by the Mayor to prepare an -opin ion on the subject, made a verbal report. He olted a late opinion of the Supreme Court bearing on the aubjeot, and advised Counoll that the -election was invalid on aocount of Mr. Meads, one of the managers, not being a freeholder. He advised that the safe course to pursue would be to declare this eleotion invalid and order another at onoe. Judge W. T. Jones was present, and, It being stated that he had been in vestigating the subjeot under consid eration for the information of one of his olients, he was asked for his opin ion. He had prepared a written opinion for Alderman Lockett, and this was read to Council. Judge Jones concurred with City Attorney Wooten as to the illegality of the eleo tion. Counoll then passed a resolution whioh was drawn by the City Attorney declaring the eleotion Invalid and or dering another eleotion on the 19th of April. Official publication of the or- , der will begin in the Herald tomor row. Ai the conditional trade that has been made for the purchase of the Wight and Commerce street wells is to tak$ effect ..on the ilrst of April, the question of having the time extended came up for consideration. Capt. Wight was present and said be thought the matter of extension of time could be readily adjusted, and it was thereupon refer red to the Contraot Committee with power to aot. THE OAF LET DOWN FOR THE KICKAPOO INDIANS. Hr. Gallctti, manager of the Kicka- poo Indian Medloine Company, which has been giving performances and selling medioines in East Albany, ap peared before Counoil and asked that bis company, be allowed to oome into the olty, paying a reasonable license for the privilege. He submitted rec ommendations and indorsements from the Mayors of other oltles where he had been. After hearing the Dootor be was politely informed by the Mayor that he might retire. The subjeot was passed over until it was brought up again by a petition signed by several citixena asking that the Kiokapoos be allowed to give a performance at Willingham’s Hall for the benefit of the Odd Fellows Lodge. Alderman Gunnison moved tliat the Kiokapoos be allowed to oome. in.at a lioense to he left discretionary with the Mayor. “Then,” said Mayor Gilbert, “they -won’t come in; for I tell you right now if you leave any discretion to me in the matter I’ll keep them out." Alderman Weslosky here came to the rescue of Alderman Gunnison, or the Kickapoos, and moved that they be allowed to come in by the day upon payment of a license of five dollars a day, Coilncil reserving the right to re voke the license if the Kickapoo crowd and their business should become ob jectionable. Tills motion was adopted, and so the Kickapoos can come into tile city to-day by paying a license of $8. Bills that had been properly audit ed were, ordered paid, and a batch of dray bonds were approved. The City Sexton’s report for Febru ary was read. It showed 5 Interments —3 whites and 2 colored; 1 non-resi dent. The City Physician’s monthly re port was read and showed 16 patients and 2 deaths. The Marshal’s report on the police court docket showed $109.80 to be the amount of the Apes imposed by the Mayor for themonth of February. Of this amount $104.50 was collected, and $6 worked out on the streets. -The Treasurer’s quarterly report showed a balance of $3,898.89 in the treasury. / A communication 1 ■litre offering to repaint the artesian well railing for $12 was read and re ferred to the Contraot Committee with power to act. The Mayor brought to the attention of Council the fact that R. A. Hall afid the Alliance'Warehouse had refused to pay license for their drays, upon the ground that they did not do a general drayago business, but hauled only for their own warehouses. Counoll de cided that they were liable for the usual drayage license, and directed that proceedings be instituted at once if the licenses are not paid. Alderman Weslosky called attention to thefaot that the ColumbusSouthern Railroad has not filled in the bad place by its traok near where its cars stop, whioh it had agreed to do by the first of February. Upon motion the Marshal was instructed to notify the ■gent of the road that the promised work must be done without further delay. The Mayor stated that he lmd been asked to remit the pound fee on some cattle belonging to Mr. W. W. Raw lins. Alderman Jones had a similar application with referonce to some cattle belonging to Capt. John A. Havls. The circumstances in both oases were submitted to Council, but Counoil declined to remit the fees, and decided that the Mayor had no discretion in the matter of remitting fees. AN OFFENSIVE PROVERB. HON. C. B.-WOOTEN. The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday devotes a coium to the politics and politicians of the Second Congres sional District. The Congressional candidates are discussed and cuts are given representing the physognomie* of the four most prominent in the raoe. The representation of Col. C. B. Wooten gives him a wide-cut, bull dog expression about the mouth that is not true to nature, but this assault upon tho Colonel’s genial and placid oountehanoe is somewhat atoned for in the following kind allusions to the man: Dougherty County comes to the front with the strongest kind of a can didate in the person of a splendid, liralny, strong man—Judge Wooten. It - looks very much like n battle of giants down in the Second, for cer tainly Judge Wooten Is the peer of any man in ab.llity. He is a very strong man in every sense of the- word; has the widest acquaintance, is greatly admired by everybody who kuows him, and is a man who has always been prominent. He was for years judge of the Albany.Circuit, has been a member of the State Senate, and has ever since the war been a leader. The Judge is a man of simple tastes, of modest-and retiring disposition, but a man who has friends everywhere. He Is In the race in earnest, and his friends consider him a sure winner. Hew MR Innocent Little Remark Caused m Lot of Uartl Pooling. “Folks that quotes, had oughter be mighty koerful who they’re hittiH," said Abner Griggs, the wiseacre of Brookviile Corners; “but then again,” he added, “folks hadn’t oughter be s'fearful tetchy, seems's ef 1" '“Have you got anybody special in your mind, Uncle Abner?” asked the young man to whom the old farmer was talking. "Well, yes, I don't mind sayin t' I hev,” replied Mr. Griggs. “O' course it's a statement't bears on any number o' oases in a gen’ral way. But what ye was jest sayin *baout takin up them keerless words o' Fred Jenkins’ put me in mind o' th' Hill sisters, Susan an Rebecca:, they died 'fore your day." “What’s tho storyt I’ve heard of ’em both,” said the young man, as the old farmer paused for a moment, ev idently lost in recollection. “Well," Baid Unde Abner, “ye see they was gettin on id years, but they didn't seem t' realize it.

A Dootor for MeiMonler’a Dog. Here is a good story of a doctor and a painter's wife. The doctor's name does not appear, but the painter was Meissonier. Mine. Meissonier sent for the family physician in a great hurry. He came, thinking some illness had overtaken the artist But it was not tho artist; it was only a lapdog. He pocketed his pride and attended the patient, who soon recovered. At the end of the year the bill came in, but there was no item for attendance on the dog. Mme. Meissonier noticed the omission and told the doctor to charge. He would not charge; he said he could not charge, he was not a vet He was very glad to be kind to the dog, etc. The lady insisted. Well, said the doctor, the binges of my garden gate ore rusty; ask M. Meissonier to . . bring his brush and -paint them for -11 from Mr. Shror- me .—Pall Mall Gazette. ~ ' ———— An authorized interview with Edi tor Henry Watteraon,of tho Louisville Courier-Journal, lias been sent out by tho Associated Press from Chicago. On the subject of the Presidential nomination Mr. Watterson takes the position that neither Mr. Cleveland nor Mr. Hill should be nominated, and his first ohoioe ii Mr. Carlisle. He thinks that any good man outside of New York would be better for the Democrats to nominate than either Cleveland or Hill. When aaked why, Mr. Watterson said; “Because the faotlons there have made the nomina tion of any New Yorker Impossible. Gov. Hill has killed Mr. Cleveland and in doing so he has almost killed him self; The nomination must come West or go to Massaobussetts, Penn sylvania or Maryland. If we could not eleot Mr. Cleveland in 1888 when he was In the White House and when we had all the outer forms and shows of harmony in the State of New York whatohance would'we have against the present vehement opposition?” Statesman Henry WatterBon re sents the Idea of Mr. Cleveland’s be ing a Moses in the matter of tarjff re form. He says; “Cleveland made us a good President. In great aff$|rs he has many of the. elements of to great man. I am most sinoorely his friend, But I must contest, and sometimes I feel like resenting the notion- that he is our sole, our only, and most- original Moses in the matter of tariff reform. Cleveland allowed three years of his old administration to pass before he declared himself. When other Demo crats were struggling with the demons of darkness he was passive and silent. When hp did speak out he spoke well, but was to skeptical of the issue he had himself precipitated. He sent Gorman and the late William L. Scott to St. Louis with a out and dried plat form, ignoring bis own message, ig noring the Mills bill, and reasserting as his party law tiie straddle we had made in Chicago in 1884.” Mxsesa. C. B. Pendleton, of Lowndes, and E. P. S. Denmark, of Brooks, are the members from their respective oountles of the Demooratlo Exooutlve Committee of the Second Congressional Distriot, under the organization of the committee at the last district conven tion. Under the new apportionment Lowndes andBrooks counties are thrown into the new Eleventh distriot. Now, will these gentlemen continue to aot with the Second District Commit tee until the next convention is held, or will they, without any action upon the part of the party in their respect ive counties, go into the now district committee? The Herald suggests that they oome to the meeting of the old committee in Albany on the 81st inst. and apply for letters of dismission from this committee to the one of the “same faith and order” to be organ inzed in the new Eleventh. The Tifton Gazette takes the cor rect view of the situation in the Second Congressional district when It says: “The Alliance and Democratic party are seperate organizations—one Indus trial and tiie other political—and Mr. Stevens’ endorsement by the Alliance should have no more weight in the Democratic convention than a mere individual request.

Capt. Evan P. Howell has been in terviewed by the Atlanta Herald with reference to his probable candidacy for Governor, and declares emphati cally that he has never had any Inten tion of running, and will not run. “Woman rules the world,” remarks the Philadelphia Record.

ItSLloioM lint got tho grip on Angnitiv.— Anguata Now*. P Well, that’s better than if religion in Augusta had the grip. The Herald doesn’t propose to eat any crow after the Demooratlo nomi nation for President, whether the nominee be Hill, Cleveland or that unknow “Western man." Editor Qonn, of the Cuthbert Lib eral-Enterprise, has an editorial in the latest issue of his' paper which reads like it had been written by a man who was getting tired of being a Demo crat. Hon. O. B. Stbvrns will not receive the oordial and united support of the Alllanoemen of the Second Congress ional distriot, and will not be the nominee of tho Demooratlo conven tion. Mark tiie prediction. The Farmer’s Alliance, not only in Georgia, but throughout the entire oountry, seems to have too many leaders. There are not enough offloes to go round, and the leaders on the outside are getting reBtive. The fanners of Southwest Georgia are beginning to show their appreci ation of the Herald in a way that is very gratifying to the editor. Tho subscription list of tho Weekly Her ald is growing very rapidly. Trn years Is a pretty good slice out of a man’s life to give up to oven so good a cause as serving his oountry in the capacity of a Congressman. Yet, aoordlng to the way tho Wash ington Post has figured it out, the average member does not begin to spend as much as a decade in tiie National Legislature. Of the men who began In the Forty-eighth Con gress, and have served since then con tinually, thus rounding out ten years at the expiration of the present Con gress, only thirty-six now answer to the roll-oall, and eurlously enough, the number of Democrats just doubles the Republicans—twenty-four to twelve. The Washington Star says: “there nr'o rumors of a serious split in the Farmer’s Alliance. The Southern members of the Alllnnce have never taken kindly to tile third party move ment and they have been oxpeoted to give but little aid and comfort to those who are engaged in the attempt to build up a great people’s party. It is claimed now that the St. Louis confer ence, where the third party movemont was fully started, was paoked. Charges of that purport are said to be In course of preparation, and it is expected that there will be a split between tiie South ern Alllanoemen and those from the West. It Is bad form and bad politioa, too, for a Demooratlo newspaper to in dulge in abuse of one candidate as a means of helping another.. The Indianapolis News calls atten tion to the disappearance of the “dude.” A few seasons ago ho waa with us In all ills glory. Solomon was not arrayed like one of them, although, no doubt in Solomon's time the species existed under some other name. In Shakespeare’s day the court of Queen Elizabeth was infested by them, under the title of the “enphuist,” one who at- foots elegance aud refinement of man ner. Along down tho ages he has fig ured as the buok, the blood, the beau, tiie dandy. The dude seems to be a sort of degenerated descendant of the lot. “The mere man of clothes has thus run through all literature, brand ed with one or another absurd name, despised alike by wit and warrior, the mark for the withering contempt of the one and for the biting satire of the other, yet admitted to the society of both,” says the New York Sun. For some reason his ranks seem to be thinning out, but he will reappear I11 another form. Thu Democratic Executive committee for tho Second Congressional district lias hcen called to meet in Albany March Dint. Does this mean an early convention?—Cuthbert Liberal-En terprises Not necessarily. But suppose it does?—wliat’s the matter witli an early convention? The Alltnnoe of the dis trict has already held- a convention and put out- a candidate. This forces activity in the campaign, and it is well enough to fix the dale of the Congressional convention in time for the delegates to be chosen in the same way and at the same time delegates are selected to attend either of the two State conventions, whioh have already been ordered, wherever the Democracy of the several counties of the district may desire to do so. But whether the Dis trict Executive Committee calls an early convention or not, it Is well enough for those to whom the Demo cratic masses of the distriot have en trusted the interests of the party to get together and “see how the ground lays.” CARTER & W00LF0L SUCCESSORS TO N. & A.
