MAT)BOX Kditor “It is reported that Gordon has already announced his intention of succeeding Sena tor Brown two years hence. “The trouble with i>a,"saicl Mrs, Bentley, “is that he lets little things worry him. Ho was mad this morning because the baby kept him awake all night.” The Baltimore American ex¬ presses pleasure that leading men in the south are awakening to the necessity of giving the people, irrespective of race, the full right to vote. "When was that right de¬ nied in the south to anybody who was entitled to it? The Presbyterian synod, which met in Athens last week, determ¬ ined to build a University in At¬ lanta. The members of the clmrch in that city have agreed to*fuvnish the site and raise $75,000. 11 is expected that $150,000 will be raised for the purpose of inaugu¬ this new The following ministers have, been placed on the retired list by the Georgia conference: Jessie Bowing, A.

Mr. Blaine has rented a house in Washington and will be in readi¬ ness to take charge of the Harri¬ son administration from the time it begins. He is apparently con¬ fident that lie is indispensable. Mr. Sherman also announces him¬ self ready to become Secretary of State, if wanted. It will hen good thing for the country if the ambi¬ tious rivals kill each other—polit¬ ically of course. Senator Sherman said in bis place last winter that when com¬ binations "wore formed by manu¬ facturers to prevent a reduction of price by competition the combi¬ nation ought to be met by a re¬ duction of tariff duties. This is the right sort of talk. The diffi¬ culty about the situation is that Senator Sherman resolutely re¬ fuses to see that such combina¬ tions have been formed. When a boy, says Lord Macau¬ lay I began to read very earnest¬ ly, but, at tilts foot of every page I read, I stopped and obliged my¬ self to give an account of what I had read on that page. At tirst i 'had to read it three or four times before I got my mind firmly fixed. But I compelled myself to comply have with the plan, until now, after J read a book through once, I can almost recite it from the be¬ ginning habit to the end.
