Editorial Mang’r. ntered at Atlanta P. O. as aecond class matter. Pbtkrs Park is lovely at this time. Bear and forbear are two good words for daily use. Crops in all the Western States are looking finely. The theaters of Chicago are trying to close their places on Sunday. A few more days of this sort of weather will fill up all of the summer resorts. Street paving with Belgian blocks and rubble stones goes briskly on in the city. This kind of work is permanent. The crowds at the base ball park grow thinner daily. Quarrelings, bickerings and kicks don’t amuse the public. Bay street at Jacksonville has been paved with cypress blocks, and now the Herald pines for more pavements. Muscogee will put forward Hon. Thom as W. Grimes for her Congressional hon ors. Hods a gifted and a true man. It would be simply impossible to build a tank at the artesian well that would be more unsightly than the present boiler reservoir. Tan papers are discussing liberally Geo. W. Childs, of Philadelphia, for the next Presidency. Childs says that he is out of the race. The street roller should be run over all the streets that have been paved with rub ble stone. It cuts oil’ the rough corners and makes the driveways less of a wagon destroyer. All of the industries of' the city are running on full time and are well filled with orders. Haiman’s great plow works are, we learn, under Haiman’s manage ment again. The railroad gates still continue to run irregularly. This is a fearfully dangerous policy. Either ha.'e them down for all passing train or not any at all is the only safe policy. Peachtree is comparatively in a wretched condition, even where it has lately been newly macademized. Why do not the enterprising citizeas of that lovely street lay concrete pavements ? A great many graduates are now ready to buckle down to hard work and a strug gle for bread and butter. Five years of such fighting the wolf will wipe out much of the rosy hue of the picture of to-day. Five years ago even the central busi ness streets of the city had no curbed sidewalks. When the exposition was held it will be remembered that the side walks out Marietta were hardly passable. No curbs, no paving, plenty of mud. To day there is a fine paved sidewalk all along that beautiful, busy street. All of the principal residence streets now have fine sidewalks, and besides most of the smaller streets have them. Atlanta is surely moving forward. POI.I TICS. Beaders of Tas Capitol have had a quiet rest from Gordon anil Bacon for three or four days. Colonel Avery is away in Athens, and since the writer believes that the public are satiated with so much individual can didacy matter, repetition from day to day at best, we have written upon other mat ters of more general interest to the public. We trust that it meets with your appro bation. As regards the two candidates we will state, however, that they are both carry ing every county they visit, and there cannot be a particle of doubt but that each will be elected. TRYING TO HI RT ATLANTA. There is no one agency that is doing as much to-day to hurt Atlanta as the press. Outside of the city there are a few pa lters, and we are pleased to say only a few, who take sweet pleasure in doing everything they can to hurt the city. All this hurts some, but it does not affect the city in itself. Business is as brisk as any city anywhere. Yesterday the other afternoon paper, the Journal, comes out witha leaded sup posed-to-be communication on editorial page where it proposes to drive the citi zens to build the Atlanta and Hawkins ville line. That is a bad policy. The citizens can be led but not driven. It goes on to lament how the city will be ruined, and all that sort of nonsense, if we do not secure this road. How foolish ! It is true that the road will help the city very greatly, but she can get along just about as well without it. If the citizens are appealed to properly they will build tliis line, because they see the necessity of it. New railroads are of incalculable benefit to any city, and this road, running through a very rich country, is a neces- THB EVENING CAPITOL: ATLANTA. GA,.

We hope that the press will stop this harping on Atlanta being ruined because she did not get certain roads and indus tries, and let’s all look up what booming industries we have on hand and help them a'ong. Perhaps if The Capitol was receiving ten cents a line for editorials and commu nications we would lose our heads and get fractious, but as it is against our prin ciples to have our opinions paid for we are not so excited.

Canada is trying to improve her farming fa cilities. Some two years ago it was resolved to estab lish an experimental farm in the Dominion, for the purpose of encouraging and developing the agricultural interests of Canada. A man, Professor Wm. Saunders, of London, Ont., was commissioned to institute an investi gation. That gentleman has recently made his report to the Minister of Agriculture of Canada, which contains many points of interest to Americans. It seems that Canada has only one institution, that of the Ontario Agricultural College, near Guelpn, which has a farm of 550 acres. In the United States there are 37 States in which agricultural and mechanical departments in connection with such institutions are main tained, and where they are not now in operation abundant provision has been made for their es tablishment and maintenance. In three States, Mississippi, South Carolina and Virginia, there are two institutions each for the teaching of ag* rlculture and the mechanical arts. Canada does not propose to be behind in such matters and will build several colleges and ex perimental stations. Cheerful Home Life* Hava you been married a long while? Yes? Well perhaps by this time you are complaining of your wife’s being indifferent and fretty; and perhaps you often say, “Wife, during our first year or two of married life you never used to be so cross and complaining.’* Do you know how to remedy this trouble? We will tell you. When you were first married you called your wife Pet, Dove, Birdie, Love, Darling, or some other equally as sweet name. You had a pleasant smile and a kiss for her when you reached home, and you did not get mad every time she spoke complainiugly of something. Try that old scheme awhile again and see if it will not work wonders. True, it may make you feel sort of foolish to call your wife by the old pet names when you have been so cool for so long. It may surprise her and not change her for a few days, but cry it for a month, and you will find her a different person from what you expected.* These remarks are addressed to the husbund but might with equal force be applied to the wife. A little more forbearauce and disposition to do right would smooth matters very much in this world. CAPITOL SALMAGUNDI.

The Congressional campaign moves along quietly, so much so that a great many are lead to presume that not a great deal of interest is felt in it. In this city there is hardly any chance to get up a discussion, as everybody are one way of thinking Muscogee will speak in favor of her trusted and talented son, Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, as with the voice of one man. In some of the adjoining coun ties much the same state of affairs exists, while in others there is little or no oppo sition manifested. For one time, at least, there appears a disposition in this part of the District to act in harmonious concert and work for the best interest of the Dis trict and the party. E. T. BYINGTON. It is a matter of congratulation that so far prohibition has not been lugged into Georgia politics. The prohibitionists of Macon county have decided not to contest the election, which gave the whisky men eighty-four majority on the sth of May. Judge Stovall, of McDuffie, wears a champaign badge which he wore to the great Whig convention in Macon in 1840. It is a United States flag on white ribbon, with the words “Columbia County” at the top and “Harrihon and Tyler” on the flag. He was one of the delegates from Columbia countv to the convention and has kept the badge as a memento of that famous campaign. T. L. GANTT. Ex-Governor Smith’s speeches were so dull that they put children to sleep who had been crying for six months. The Constitution has made a flopper out of Milt Smith.

The Atlanta anti-prohibitionists say real estate in that city can be purchased for less than half price after July 1. If that should prove true a fine opportunity will be offered to outside prohibitionists to secure cheap homes and business loca tions. There is evidently something to keep up a town at Atlanta besides the trade in ardent spirits. The person who expects to buy property there for much less than it was worth a year ago, how ever, will doubtless be disappointed. CAPITOL FUN.

Hud son’s, the great hay and carp man, who is perhaps better known than any farmer in the State, we noticed that his son, DeWitt, seemed to be skinning off at the hands. Mr. H. called the little fellow to him and showed us how the skin, even on the palm of his hands, was coming off in flakes and a new skin appearing under neath. He explained that several years ago the child was badly poisoned with poison oak, and every spring he broke out and suffered greatly. He had applied every known remedy to relieve the suf ferer, and employed physicians to attend him, but with no avail. “In fact,” Mr. Hudson continued, “it seemed like to go in sight of a poison oak vine would cause the eruptions to break out afresh. After trying everything else, I read in the Ban ner-Watchman so much about the S. S S. blood medicine that I determined to try that also, but must confess that I had lit tle hope in it. But, as you see, its suc cess lias been wonderful. It has driven every particle of the poison from my child’s system, and is now putting a new skin on him. He is thoroughly cured, and the S. 8. S. did the good work. I believe that it will drive out any kind of poison from the blood, and its effect on DeWitt proves it. There are a great many sufferers from poison oak in the country, and to such I can knowingly recommend this medicine. It not only effects a certain cure, but seems to put fresh life into one.” This is onlv one of the numerous in dorsements of 8. S. S. that has reached us, and we publish it as information to those who are suffering with poison in their system, it matters not from what source it comes. This discoven- in regard to curing the effects of poison oak is of great importance, as it gives a certain remedy for a most common and aggrava ting affliction, for which no permanent le lief had ever been known. The S. S. S. is certainly the king of blood medicines, and is as harmless as it is solvent for the eradication of impure blood from the system. Athena Banner - Watchman, April 30th. FACTS GLEATED. What the Reliable Telegraph and the ReNponsible Constitution Say as to the Progress of the Campaign. Dodgers have been circulated around in Troup county for the last week or so announcing that Dr Felton would address the people in the in terests of Major Bacon on yesterday, and claim ing that the crowd would be larger than that which assembled to see the departure of the first troops to the front in ’6l. Not twenty-five people living outside the town were paesent, and altogether the crowd numbered perhaps one hundred. Dr. Felton spoke for three hours, after which he was com pletely squelched by Col. W. C. Glenn, and the Bacon men admit that the fight is over as re gards Bacon. Bacon went to school tn LaGrange and Gordon secured his wife there, hence both have many friends. Bacon’s strongest supporter being Major B. C. Ferrill, while Gordon is upheld by Col. A. D. Abraham, both among the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Troup county. Mr. Glenn made strong endeavors to get the doctor to divide time with him, but in this he was unsuccessful, as the doctor claimed it was his meeting, and informed Glenn if be wanted to talk be would have to wait until he had fin ished. The Bacon men were very much put out on account of the doctor’s lowering his colors and fearing to meet Gordon’s silver-tongued orator, one Bacon man actuaUy starting a petition ask ing the doctor to retire. At one o’clock Doctor Felton entered escorted by Major Ferrell, a man and a liver-colored setter dog. A young man seated at a desk with a flat stick and the dog led the applause. The man would hit the desk with bis stick and the dog would bark. For one hour and a half by the watch. Doctor Felton spoke in the interest of Dr. Feltoj, lauding himself to the skies. The three ideas in Felton’s speech were Ist. General Gordon was not able to take care of himself. 2d. Dr. Felton was the smartest Aleck in the stall. 3d. Men should not be bound by anything but their own wishes. At the conclusion of the Doctor’s speech Colonel Glenn was loudly called to the stand. The man with the stick and the dog withdrew with the Doctor. Mr. Glenn showed that the Doctor’s hope was that there might be room for an Independent in the race, and that Independent would be Felton. His life bad been spent in warfare upon Democracy. He is nothing more than a political wrecker. The Bacon men are very much disheartened, and say there is no hope for their candidate; so says the Constitution. The Macon Telegraph has only a limited ac count of the demonstration as follows: LaGrange, June 16. Dr. Felton made a strong speech, full of terse argument, to-day, to a large crowd. Glenn, of Dalton, was here to watch for a chance. Dr. Felton reviewed Gordon’s railroad connec tions and Wall street speculations, and referred to the fact that Got don declared in his late Americus speech that all he had was in rail roads. The Doctor recalled how the Constitu tion had abused him (Felton) at the last session of the Legislature for trying to abolish pools, and how even Governor Smith had thanked him for that and for preserving the Railroad Commission, and now Governor Smith and the forward and backward Constitu tion were together against the people and for the late Florida railroad magnate, who sold bis railroad for a million—that is, as Grady says. Dr. Felton, replying to Glenn’s charge that he (Felton) had advocated a Republican (Sim mons) for census taker, showed that Simmons was endorsed by Glenn’s owa father, who was a Radical. This was absolutely crushing. Gordon men say Felton is a power. Gen. Gordon spoke to about 600 people in Thomasville yesterday. Nine-tenths of the crowd were for Gordon. There are sot 3*o Ba con men in Thomas connty.—Constitution.

At the California Thea tre, San Francisco, he has appeared as King Francis in “ The Field of the Cloth of Gold, ’ and Major Wellington de Boots in “ Everybody's I Friend?’ Important Announcement to tbe Public. The “Baltimore Syndicate” takes this means of informing the public that it has decided in order to meet the wishes of a considerable num ber of persons who have heretofore negotiated with the company for the purchase of homes, to modify the terms of payment so as to bring the purchase of its elegant homes within the reach of a larger number of tbe people than the terms heretofore established permitted. To this end it now announces that it will sell any of its homes upon the cash payment of SSOO and permit the balance of the purchase money to be paid in monthly instalments. THE BALTIMORE PLACE HOUSES. These elegant reeidences need not be de scribed in detail. They are so generally well known that to enter into a description of their plan, with the innumerable comforts incident to their construction, their health fulness, compac tion of arrangement, their high temperature in winter and low temperature in summer; the completeness of their sanitary arrangements aud the dozen and one features which can alone be appreciated by practical use, to describe which in detail would occupy more space than is necessary or the limits of this communication will permit. It is sufficient to say here that Nos. 9, 11, 13,15, 17 and 19 of the block are for sale. Either of these can be purchased for $3,500 subject to a ground seat of sllO redeemable at any time within a 1000 years. The ground rent system is universal in the North, is the secret of almost every merchant and mechanic owning his home, without which this ownership might be impossible. We prefer to sell in fee. Every purchaser thus far has purchased subject to a ground rent. The fact that he can carry a re deemable ground rent at so low a rate of inter est as 5 percent, which is all he pays, is the se cret why every one thus far has purchased sub ject to a ground rent. At all events the compa ny will sell either in fee orotherwisejustasthe purchaser may desire. Now a few words about the business part of the transaction. The com pany will sell any of the houses above mentioned for $3,500, subject to a ground rent of sllO per annum. It will take SSOO cash, and will allow the remaing $3,000 to be paid in monthly instal ments of S4O, with six per cent interest on the deferred payments, interest ceasing on each payment as made. It will take, say, seventy two months, or just six years to pay off the bal ance of purchase money at S4O per month. Now let us see what tbe total annual charges are: Twelve monthly payments S4BO One year's ground rent 110 “ average interest 90 “ tax - 72 “ insurance 5 Total for one years7s7 It will be observed that every charge of every kind is included in the above. Now let us see for a moment what the actual strain is on the purchaser, and that after all is the tiue and proper test which one nius apply to himself in testing his or her ability to pur chase. We have seen that the total annual charges of every kind and character aggregate per annum $757, or $63 per iron th. Now the purchaser during the time that he is making these payments and securing his invest ment is at the same time securing its fruits, for he is occupying the house and thus saving the rent that he would otherwise pay. Now put ting the rental value of these houses at $45 per month (and they are generally conceded to be worth SSO) he ought, injustice to his purchase, deduct the rental value from the total annual charges, for until he owns his home, tbe rental value should be deducted. The calculation would accordingly stand thus: Total annual charges 757 00 Annual .rental value 540 00 Annual strain on nurcharer 217 00 It will thus be seen that the annual strain on the resources of the purchaser are just $217 or SIB.OO per month. In other words, the purchaser of one of these houses as compared to a tenant paying $45 per month rent is just SIB.OB per month more to pay than the tenant, and in consideration of said payment the purchaser gets back every month S4O clean and clear as a credit on his bal ance as purchase money. He pays SIB.OB a month more, and at tbe end of six years has his home, whereas tbe tenant, as above illustrated, has just exactly seventy-two rent receipts, and liable to be kicked out if he should fail to pay the seventy-third. Let us now go a step farther and FIND OUT WHAT THE HOUSE ACTUALLY COSTS the purchaser. His first payment wass 500 Six years, $217 each 1,302 Total costsl,Bo9 These figures may seem remarkable and their accuracy may perhaps be doubted by some. It is sufficient to say in leply, that the company is prepared to guarantee their correctness. It will thus be seen, that the people of Atlan ta have here presented an opportunity of which it may truly be said is unprecedented in any city in this country. There is no clap trap about this announcement. The figures are given and their accuracy guaranteed by a com pany of responsibility.' Bring your architect with you and let him aid you in making an inspection of the property and ask him for an honest dispassionate judg ment. Ask him what it would cost you to du plicate the house, in hard cash. And after you have asked him these questions and have re ceived a satisfactory answer, then go and ask snch well known and respected citizens as Dr. Brockett, Colonel Goldsmith, A. P. Tripod, Col. Avery, I. C Bandmann, Capt. Rust, all of whom have lived in the res pective houses which they have purchased, from two to eleven months, and ask them and their wives and their visiting relatives and friends whether they are delighted with their purchases. The writer is sure that there is not one but what is charmed with his purchase. Ask them what temperature they experienced last summer, and they will be' apt to tell you that their homes were charmingly cool. Ask them whether they suffered from the severe cold of the past winter, and they will tell you that, if anything, their houses were at times too warm. In brief, ask them, if you choose, whether you ought to buy or not, and act accord ingly. SPRING STREET OR “PARK PLACE” HOUSES. There are six houses left for sale on Spring street: No. 1 has been sold to Miss Hanna; No. 5 to Wm. A. Wimbish; No. 7 to James A. Gray; No. 13 to Mrs. Fannie McCandless. Nos. 3, 11, 15, 17 and 10 are still for sale. These houses will be sold for $2,350, ground rent S9O, redeemable at any time. SSOO cash, balance in monthly payments of S3O. Total annual char ges: Twelve monthly paymentss36o 00 Ground r»-nt 90 00 Average interest 55 50 Tax 33 75 Insurance 4 50 Total annual chargess43 75 Or about $45 per month. No one who has seen these homes will hesitate to admit that they are cheap at S3O per month rent. Assuming this to be true the actual cost of the house would be as follows: Total annual chargess 543.75 Annual rental value 360.00 Annual strain $ 183.75 As it will take a little less than 62 months to pay off the balence of purchase money, the ac count will stand like this: Cash payment $ 500.00 $183.75 per year for 5 years and 2 months.... 949.37 Total cost of h0u5e51,449.37 These figures must be their own demonstra tion. It would be downright supererogation to attempt to give them additional force by fur ther argument or illustration. The man who can’t, after due reflection, un derstand their force and potency ought not to bother his brain about buying a home, but ought to continue as a tenant. The company hopes, after having made th<»se conces sions. to be able to at once dispose of its remaining bouses. Tn two or three years they will doubtless be worth half again as much. Every indication shows that these bouses are situated in the coming residence sec tion of the city. No portion of the city has such a beautiful prospect before it. Whether there be any ad vance or not, there will surely be no retrogression. So that a purchaser not only secures a home for his family in away that can hardly strain his resources, but he has in addition an incentive to save, coupled with the faet that he is securing an investment which affords him every reasonable expectation that after it is oree paid for it will be worth more than the original purchase money, to say nothing of the years of rent that he has saved to himself and family.
