SOUS THING* THAT THE PUBI.lt!
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.
Albany la Own One ef the Pineal Wnler-
werlsi Pumping Station* m Georgia.
Prom Wednosdaj-Vi Kvknisi! II kk alii.
A reporter of the Herald strolled
oround to the waterworks pumping
station, on North street this, morning,
and picked up some points that will
doubtless prove interesting to persons
who are anxious to see our system in
working order, in other words, every
citizen of Albany.
To begin with, it is pleasant to be
able to announce that the erection of
the tower begiiis at once. A car load
of columns, parts of the foundation,
arrived yesterday, and were switohed
around on the track in front of the
station. Mr. Quinn is representing
Messrs. Geo. K.Orarts &C’o., the build
ers of the tower, and will superintend
the work of erection!
Tie is engaged to-day with a force
of hands in unloading the first car
load of material, and will commence
putting it up immediately. A hoist
ing engine has been plneod on the
ground and ns fnst ns the sections are
received they will be placed in posi
tion. If all the parts wero here, Mr.
Quinn says he could have the frame
work of the tower, without the tank,
completed in a week's time. It will,
however, take longer than this, as the
material was not nil shipped at once,
and arriving at dilTerent times will
cause considerable delay. Mr. Quinn
has done a great deal of work in the
State and out, and is a very competent
man.
TUB STATION.
The station, throughout, is an a 1
plant, and persons who have examined
others in different portions of the
country say that our waterworks
pumping stntion, when completed,
will be as perfeot a one rb can be
found anywhere, both in point of con
venience and general completeness.
There are two large size pumps in
the engine room, made by the pean
Pump company, and their capacity
will run over a million gallons of
water in every twenty-four hours. All
the pipe connections have been made,
and a coat of paint will oomplete the
work on the pumps.
The boilers are also in position, and
ready to get up steam. There are two,
monsters they are, made by Messrs.
Schofield £ Son, of Mao on, and are
standard in every respect.
The big reservoir is now nearly full,
In. one, night, a hundred and fifty
thousand gallons were emptied into
it, and to-day the water only lapks n
few feet of reaohlng the top. Its ca
pacity is three hundred and fifty
thousand gallons, enough to ini.ure a
plentiful supply at all times, that will
put out nny fire that may ocour.
The work has all been done in a way
that defies criticism, and everything
is “jam up.’’ The building itself is a
neat, substantial one, and is very
roomy, nicely finished, and was plan,
ned with every essential point tajeen
into consideration.
The engines will be steamed up in a
few days, the pressure put on, and the
strength of the mains tested, so any
breaks may be remedied before the
pressure from the tower is applied.
The tank is expected to arrive next
week, probably before the tower is
completed.
Everybody will bo glad to know that
the work is so nearly finished, and that
the system will so soon bo in working
order.

THE MINISTERS MUST GO.
From the Now York Herald.
Some day a great political party will
take up this question seriously and
make itself famous by wiping our use
less andcumbersome diplomatic service
from the face of the earth. It was the
prophetio voioe of James Gillespie
Blaine which uttered this prediction
some years ago to the then Congress
man MoAdoo of New Jersey. An
American minister has long been a
by-word, if not a reproach among the
nations which train embassadors from
the cradle and teach their baby states
men how to speak. Before steam and
the electric spark had revolutionized
the methods of the world an envoy ex.
traordinary was a necessity even for
Amertca. In those old days the beBt
trained statesmen in the land were
sent abroad to represent America.
Men were picked out for their fitness
for the places. An American minis,
ter is out of date to-day, and worse
than out of date, be .is ridiculous.
Abolish our foreign ministry. Send
home the farcial di plomats. Let plai n,
blunt Uncle Sam transact his business
in a plain, blunt fashion, and not in
dulge in myths and shadows to feed
the vanity of the editor from Oshkosh
and the protected manufacturer from
Kalamazoo.

In the celebrated campaign of 1840
there was a mail by the name of Chap
man editing a prominent partisan
paper in the State of Indiana. When
the contest was becoming pretty hot a
private letter from one partisan to
another was captured by the opposite
side, in which advice was offered as to
how the canvass was to be conducted.
Among other things it was said that
more life was to bo infused into this
Editor Chapman. He was not whodp-
ing things up to the required lively
standard. Their oomplalntB conclud
ed with the injunction, “Tell Chapman
to crow.” The phrase got into print
and was sung derisively by the oppo
sition In all the months that Interven
ed before the eleotlon. It went into
campaign literature permanently. The
cockerels that are prominent down to
our day in newspapers when an ejec
tion is carried had their origin in this
injunction to Chapman. The point in
that case was to assume a confidence of
viotory, even if they had it not. It
need not be surprising if it is con
tinued into this contest in which we
are now engaged.
TnE VOTE IN GEORGIA.
Democratic Congressmen anil prom
inent and infiiiential politicians all
over 'the country will be beseiged by
aspirants for positions under the
Cleveland administration from now
until all the Republican rascals have
been turned out and their places filled
by loyal Democrats.
The early birds have opened the
campaign already, and things are get
ting lively In Democratic circles.
Tile two plums on the GcorgiaDem-
ocratio tree over winch the, scramble
promises to be most interesting are
the United States Marshalshlp and the
District Attorneyship for the South
ern district. The former position Is
now held by Boss Buck, anil the latter
by Mr. Marlon Erwin.
The list for United States Marshal,
up to date, is as follows: llcory
Hodgkins, Macon, J. H. McDuffie,
ilnwklnsvllle, Ab T. Holt, Macon,
Asher Ayers of Mncon and Frank
I.everett of Eatonton. Tills list is
growing, and there will doubtless be
other names to add in a ve'ry short
time.
For District Attorney {Mil following
entries have been mnde: Messrs. J.

BOMB BRIGHT BITS.
Mr. Smith Clayton has been writing
some bright and interesting letters to
the Atlanta Journal from New York
during the campaign.
In his letter of yesterday he says:
John Wanamaker accounts for the
Democratic victory by saying that it
was a tale of two cities, and that the
big foreign vote in New York and Chi
cago settled it.

From TuMdav's Kvenino IIkhai.ii.
In Montgomery, Ala., at 10 n’olook
this morning, the marriage rites were
consummated, which ma;ie Mr. John
Pearson and Miss Ilnllie Cox, both of
this city, man and wife.
No public announcement of the
event was made,and no invitations is
sued, only a few. persons, the imme
diate friends and relatives of the fam
ilies, being aware that'the marrage
would take place to-day.
Miss Cox lias for several weeks past
been visiting her sister, Mrs. J. M.
Goktim, in Montgomery, at whoso resi
dence, No. 821 North Decatur street,
tlie marriage took place, Rev. Wm. J.
Robertson', pastor of the Albany Meth
odist ohuroh officiating.
The bride is the sister of Mr, W. T.
Cox, of this city, and has for a long
time been very popular in society,
numbering her friends by the score,
and any than might feel proud to liavo
won so fair n bride.
Mr. Pearson Is not less well known
and popular, being an upright, stendy
gentleman, who commands the respeot
of all who know him, and has numer
ous friends throughout this whole sec
tion of the State.
The oouple will probably take a bri
dal trip before reluming to Albany,
and t-heir borne will for tile present be
with Mr. Tom Cox, on Broad street.
The IIbralii jollies with a host of
friends in wishing for Mr. and Mrs’
earson every happiness and blessing

THE LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
THEY HAKE A MISTAKE.
Some of the Negroes of the State
have just issued circulars to members
of their raoe throughout Georgia,'call
ing a convention of delegates from
eaoh oounty to protest against certain
discriminations which they say are
being made against them. ' -
The olroular speaks especially of the
,aw known as the “separate oar law,"
and of the “murdering unoondemiied
and untried.” '■•.'tilt
Of oourse they have a right as citi
zens to protest against unjust dis
criminations, and to petition against
oppression, but in this instance they
are making a mistake. LawB are
nowhere more lenient to this class of
people than right here in Georgia, in
fact there is no abridgement of the
prinolple of equal rights.
It is an open question as to whether
they are not hazarding their own in
terests when they attack the separate
oar law. Aooordiug to ' the law
they must be provided with
good accommodations and white peo
ple are not allowed in their ears. Most
roads comply with -these regulations,
and the proper oourse where they do
not, is an appeal to the courts and not
for new laws.
As' for the “murdering uncondemn
ed and tried” as they term it, or lynoh-
ing as it is generally known, Georgia
is exceptionally free from such out
rages. Beside this, there are measures
now before the Legislature lopklng to
the more effectual prevention of these
affairs. Governor Northen has strong
ly recommended it and the General
Assembly has taken it in hand.
There are no unjust discriminations
against the Negro in Georgia. In fact,
Georgia has exceeded other Southern
States in the liberality shown to the
race, and there is no right guaranteed
a citizen by the constitution whioh
they cannot command.
IMMIGRANTS AND CHOLERA.
gpoclftt to tllO ltKIIAI.ll.
Atlanta, Nov. 15.—Botli branches
of tlie Legislature adjourned early this
morning to witness the grent carnival
parade. They transacted no business
of importance this morning.
The reception of the Sultan to-day
was an Imposing one. The city mili
tary, the fire department and police,
together with a large number of citi
zens, were In-line. f
There are crowds of visitors in the
city, and every trqln brings hundreds
more.
The weather Is beautiful and the
oity is jubilant. To-night, there will
be a grand torchlight proocssion and
Democratic ratification.
THE TARIFF DID IT.
to
The Hkrald is gratified to observe
an evident determination on the part
of the United States authorities to
prevent European immigration during
the winter from' districts recently in
fected with cholera.
Too much care cannot be exercised
by the authorities of this country to
keep the scourge from our shores dur
ing the winter, when the germs of the
disease are dormant, yet alive. Thous
ands of immigrants scattered through
out the oountry during the winter
would be certain to sprend the scourge
in every quarter when the hot months
are reached.
The interests of the people should
be guarded at ail times by the gov
ernment, but next year, when the
whole world will want to be our
gueste as visitors to the World’s Fair,
extraordinary diligence should be ex
ercised, and it is imperative that no
blunders should be made.
The United States can manage to
get along very well without the usual
million cf immigrants next year.

President Harrison thinks that the
high tariff polioy of the Republican
Party Is undoubtedly the oause of the
overwhelming defeat with whioh the
o. p. met last Tuesday.
Op this line the Philadelphia Rec
ord pertinently says
In an authorized interview juBt pub
lished the President says that the ver
dict of Tuesday can be construed only
'as a condemnation of the^ extreme
high tariff polioy of the Republicans,”
As a result there must, in his judg
ment, be a modification of the policy
of the party if It “is to hope for a re
newal of power.” This modification,
however, does not mean “a renuncia
tion altogether of the protective tariff
policy, which has been tho keynote of
every Republican campaign for many
years past.” Though not expressed in
so many words, the plain meaning of
the President is that the extreme
ground of the MoKinley tariff muBt be
abandoned as an essential oondition of
Republican success in the future,
President Harrison will have a very
favorable opportunity to enforce this
view by recommending in his message
to Congress in December a considera
tion of the Tariff bills now lying in
the pigeon-holes of the Senate Com
mittee on Finance. In taking this
course he need not be disturbed by the
bugbear of oonslstenoy. Statesmen as
ablh and as patriotic as he have not
permitted the poor plea of consistency
to prevent them from giving effect to
tbd popular will. As a student of
political history President Harrison is
so familiar with the examples on this
point'that they need not be recalled to
his memory.
