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. Weaver.

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.

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. Walters, Albany; ltobert Whitfield, Mliledgeville; Minton Wimberly, Macon; Hugh V. Washington, Maoon; E. B.

Boykin Weight has also been mentioned for this posi tion, but ho hns announced that he will not be nil applicant. lion. Du pont Guiirry, who had the position under the last Dcinooratio administra tion, has also declared that ho will not apply for 1£ again. The indications are that there will be numerous applicants for every lernl office In Georgia to be filled by the incoming Democratlo adminis tration.

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. Nonsense 1 Throw out New York and Illinois and Cleveland has still a majority in the Electoral College of nearly forty votes. * * * John Caokeriil has announced that the Republicans will renew the fight for protection in 1890, and that McKin ley will be their nominee. I hope so. That being the ease, if the Demo crats are true to their position on tariff reform, we will get Pennsylvania and Massachusetts. * ", * The New York Herald wants know what did it. Why the tariff in the North and West, and the force bill in the South These were the grand causes of the triumph, with the Australian ballot system as a mighty good third. Sam Small says he has been slan dered. If this is the first time be has noticed it, he must have been treated very badly. 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 tlmt qver-falls to the lot of innu. 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. Are Ibo Principal*. A DIG DEMONSTRATION IN 'THE GATE CITY LAST NIGHT.

I'HEMENTM FOR MEN. - V Tl, In if, which Homebody'* BrolhdrMnr Receive at I)hri*lain** The'Cnruirnl le Well IJudcr Way. 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. A Heallhr Benson, Never has Albany been as healthy as it is to-day. “This is an extremely healthy sea son,” said a prominent doctor this morning, “and under the present cir cumstances there is very little danger of attack from any malady. The oity is dean and the weather is good. In fact there is comparatively no slok- ness among the people at present.” This is a good showing.

Nature is authority for the state ment that canaries, when fed with Cayenne pepper gradually change their color, passing from yellow to red. Cayenne pepper contains a tinc torial substance; an irritative prinoi pie and an oil.

A well-known nfllliner in Paris guarantees becoming bonnets for out- of-town customers if a photograph be sent to her whereby she may judge of the contour of the face and the style of dressing the hair. A lady who visited the atelier of this original designer says that she found the little artist at work with a large photograph of a pretty, middle- aged looking Woman before her on the table. The “ohic” little concoction grew rapidly under her skillful fingers into something chnrming, as'she worked and talked at the same time, giving glance now and again at the picture before her. “Yes, I have always given satisfac tion, with one or two exceptions.” she repljed, in answer to her visitor’s in quiries. “I must know, of course, for what the bonnet is intended, whether for ‘!a masse’ or for reception, or for costume de promenade—and also wbat dresses it is to be worn with. With this Jhformatiori and the photograph I find no difficulty at all in filling an order from the United Statesor Brazil, or any other far-away place. “Tiens,” she continued, holding up her work, “I think this “accode’ with the style of this lady.
