It was a bitter, fanatical light, but peace and good order were main tained throughout the day yesterday. The antla carried the day by an over whelming majority. m A number of years ago it was held by many physicians that consumptive pntlents could be beneflted by being hep! In an atmosphere of low tempera ture, on the theory that the disease Stroii would thus bo chilled anil the formation of tuberoles prevented. Now, however, phthisioal patients are cent to the pine lands and to the sea- shoro but the Grand Duke George, a son of the Car of Russia, is having 8t‘ the old heroio treatment applied to Wm, for n pulmonary trouble. He spent the last winter In the Caucasus, sleeping under the thinnest of oloth- ing, with scarcely any tire in the room, nod with the windows always open. His physicians claim that with two years more of this treatment the germs of the disease will have been eradicated. I In vainly attempting to cope with Senator Vest in a tariff argument on Tuesday, Senator Hale, of Maine, made the reckless assertion that there were as many trusts in Free Trade Eng land as In this tnriff-nflileted land. To the assertion of tho Maine Senator Mr, ■ Vest promptly and emphatically re plied that it was not true; and Mr. . Hale was silenced because of the utter absence of proof for his statement. The assertion iu regard to trusts in England Is as false now as it was when , originally made by'Mr. Blaine In Ills attempted extenuation of tariff rob- bery four years ago, before the intlio- tlou of the McKinley act was menaced. kViien put to the proof Mr. Blaine said that a “coffin trust” was in process of formation in England; and that was the extent of his proof of a reckless rtion. Where trade is free trusts Impossible. The two cauuot exist the same atmosphere. NO t'AIISK 1 t ALABH. Now that the olty ha. everything In readiness to begin work on the water works system, It Is being urged by some that It will be dangeroua to the health of the city to have the water mains laid at thli seaaon—that the digging up of the earth in the street* will create siokneis. While It la a conceded faot that the health of any community Is endan gered by turning up large areas of esrtb, especially If the excavation made be deep enough, to expose the damp earth underlying the aurfaoe strata, there appears to be no oause for alarm about what the Mayor and Council propose to do In laying the mains for our waterworks. The lay ing of the mains will not necessitate going deeper than about three feet at any point In theelty, and the narrow ditch or trenoli that will be openfed In tho streets for this purpose will expose very little fresh or moist earth at any time or In any locality. The work of filling in will be kept up with the lay ing of the mains, and the exposure of any considerable quantity of fresh earth at any time will thus be avoided. To lay the aewers will necessitate deeper exoavatlons, and for tills reason It ha* been determined that this work will bo delayed until after frost. Mayor Gilbert has been looking Into this subject with a good deal of solid tude, and lias nonsuited with the phy stolons of the olty. After being ad vised of the plan to be adopted In lay ing the mains, the physicians of the city have all expressed the opinion that the health of the community will not be endangered by It. The Mayor and Counoll are as Jenl ous of the good health of the olty as anybody, and would nut, of course, do anything whioh they thought would bring on an epldemio or create sick ness of any kind In the community. A NEW YORK RHPUBLIIIAN’II HU. TINIATJK. J. Sloat Faaaett, In nominating Mr. Clarkson for the chairmanship of the Republican National Committee, on last Muifilny, said: We feel that we are entering on no holiday exourslon; that we are enter ing upon a contest whioh will put to Ills best mottle every Republican in the United States. We are confronted at the outstart with the appalling speotaole of Wisconsin and Illinois In the list of doubtful States, and Iowa bv no meana certain, with religious differences rife in the Northwest and a threatened coalition of Demooraoy and the Alllanoe. The Democrats have Humiliated, In iny opinion, the strongest man they could have plaeed In tho field, especially so far as the thirty-six electoral votes In New York are oonaerned. AN IHUKNIOUS INVENTION. An ingenious German hay reduced so trilling a matter as boiling an egg to an absolute science and has devised a watch for that purpose for partlau lar people. The wntoli has a series of dials to mark hard, soft and medium, for duoks' and hena' eggs, there being, however, but a single hand or pointer. The mechanism marks the minutes and half minutes up to ten, and even the dnllest of servants by the aid of this apparatus can tell when to remove the boiler from the fire. "Mrs. Cleveland and the baby,” and “Mrs. Stevenson and the girls” are good oampalgn material. They will doubtless do their share of thuVwork In semiring n Democratio success this fall. “In Ohio to-day," says the Columbus Post, “Grover Cleveland Is not less than 8,000 votes stronger than any other onndidate; lienee Ohio Is now lighting ground,nml a lively campaign may be expected.” Grand Master Powdbrly left Phil adelphia for the Omaha convention on Wednesday. In an interview with n press reporter Just before his depart ure, lie gavo ns Ills honest conviction that “all laboring men should vote for tho nominees of the Omaha oonveu tlon, Irrespective of tho two great parties. Whether the nominees of tho convention are elected or not, agitation for government own ership of railronds, national currency, independent of bankers, and nn equit able taxation of laud nod land values will continue until the whole Ameri can pcoplu understand these issues.” ■■ Gen Adlai Stevenson, . Democratic nominee for Vico President, has as In teresting n family ns any Vico Presi dent who has taken up Ills abode in Washington for years. It consists of his 83 years-old mother,.his wife, nml four children—three girls ami one boy. The young ladies of the house are three beautiful, accomplished and sen sible girls between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one, and the boy is anmiily young fellotv of twenty-three. The youngest daughter was sixteen years old the day before her father was nom inated at Chicago, and they all rejoice in bis good fortune. With the san guinity of youth, they are all confident of Gen. Stovcnson’s election. Attention is direoted to the'onrd of W. M.

A oitlzen of our neighboring town, wbo was In Albany yesterday] said that the oitliens of Newton werl loath to part with Mr. Carroll, and It there had been a telegraph otlloe ill the town by whioh they oould have sent anywhere in Georgia for a minis ter to fill his pulpit In Albany to-dsy, Mr. Carroll should certainly have re mained In Newton over Sunday.

The people of Albany will no doubt be glnd to learn that Uncle Sam has decided to establish a signal service bureau in the Artesian City, for the purpose of keeping the citizens posted about what the condition of the wenther is going to be.

The Board of Directors of the Geor gia Chautauqua held a meeting last night to listen to the report of the Seuretary and Superintendent, to de termine the exact status of the finan cial affairs of the association, and to determine a course for the future. The Secretary's report may be summed up as follows: The Chautauqua Association owns the tent, seats, etc., used eaoh year, as well as the piece of property known as the Chautauqua lot; the gate receipts have nearly met the running expenses of ench Chautauqua, but In making up the deficit and purchasing such para phernalia as is needed for n permanent association, the capital stock original ly subscribed to the association has all been exhausted, and the directors now themselves without reserve funds. I f itu attendance equal to that of last year, could he depended on fur the oumi\tg Chautauquas, the ussooiati n might he self-supporting. But as mat ters stand now, in case of any unfor seen accident lessening the number In attendance, the association would find itself without means to meet ex penses Incurred. There l\ no wish, nor intention, on the part oithe Board of Directors to allow the Georgia Chautauqua to full through. too much for Albany, red itself too munh to that. Albany’s reputa- ely identified with the tauqua movement for permit it to go down, he run without money, Wlint is needed to keep the association on a firm footliig, and place it In a po sitlun beyond the shadow of n doubt of its success, is a guaranteed fund from the citizens of Albany—a guaranteed fund that will answer as a nest egg; a subscribed fund that can be collected in at an hour’s notice If necessary, from which advance money for ex. ponses oan be drawn at will, and from wliloh any expense that the proceeds fail to meet can be paid. It will not be dltHcult for the Board of DIreotors to seoure the subscription of such a fund for severs! reasons. First, as before stated, the reputation of Albany is Identified with the Geor gia Chautauqpa movement, Seeond, there is not a merchant in the olty but whose trade Is Increased by several hundred dollars each spring by the holding of the Georgin Chautauqua.

The Professor makes this curious statement: “In both Chicago and Minneapolis many colored men are doing well In business. There are, however, very few colored school teachers oooupylng positions in schools. Of course there is far less race prejudice mumfeated In the North than In the South, sue generally speaking, oolored men os enter any place they desire; yet It l! fair to say that colored men them) selves are about as quick to draw the color line against their own people as the white people arc.

He has received estimates made in many counties, and upon these he bases his opinion. He also says that the railroad tax will bring a great deal of money into the treasury. Then the board of equalizations in each county are seeing to it that property is assessed at Its proper value, and this faot will decrease the ad valorem tax in the State. The Comptroller thinks the tax will be lowered about ten cents on the hun dred dollars. INDSTINCT PRINT 1 na
