In China the Dowager Queen has trumped the King and won by an ac 3. The Democratic managers claim that everything is harmo nious in New York.

When the ripe egg seeks the actor, it’s birds of a feather, in that neither is fit for anything else. Our volunteer troops at Ma nila are anxious to come home.

Ah Illinois orator has been accused of plagarizing a speech delivered by Ingalls in the Sen ate in 1891. He got it at cost. It isn’t strange to read of a Populist who sold out his broth er for a pair of gum boots.

Patty duClam and the Em peror of China may have gone off to look for Charley Ross, and then again, as it was a game of freeze-out, it may be they are aeeking Prof. Andree. It has been suggested that whan a man leads a woman to the altar he at once abdicates from leadership, therefore the altar is one of the circumstances that alters cases. The Cuban insurgents asked for limited rations, got them, and now have gone on an indef inite loaf. The Cuban having been poorly bred, thinks it is meet for him to cabage every loaf he can turnup. A long dispatch from Jackson ville in a Nww York newspaper of yesterday, which highly laudatory of Major Russell B. Harrison, of General Lee’s staff, makes it ap«> pear that at least one “son of somebody” has been largely re sponsible for the general efficiency of the Seventh Army Corps. This is a reminder that “young” Hai ri sen, as he is still called, is some thing of a newspaper man himself. Some years ago the New York World published a glowing ac count of the heroism and presence of mind displayed by young Har rison at a fire in Fort Worth. Tex as, A few days later the World an nounced that the account had been sent by young Harrison himself 1 Connecticut and Rhode Island are now engaged in a furious controversy, the motive of which is to prove that neither state is the birth place of Benedidt Ar nold. There’s one thing dead certain —besides Benedict —and that is Arnold was not born in Atlanta, though the Atlanta car shed would make him a good monument. Saxton’s tragic death would indicate that some members of the royal family in this country are no batter than they are m Europe. But why didn’t Saxton have a good fat job in Washing ton? This perhaps might have kept him from meddling with other men’s wives —Waycross Herald. The anti Candler Press said your Uncle Alien’s majority was about 50,000. Later on when it grew to about 70,000 these great “scoopist” news gatherers got interested in the Pillager war and feetbill games and forgot all about the crushing defeat the “Pigeon rooster” administered the open enemies of Democracy English woman are said to average two inches more in height than Americans, And the American heiress, supposed never to be short, looks up to the shortest nobleman Oh lord, no count —his dukelets .

It takes a whole man to conquer a vicious animal People may talk about intellectual superiority and refinement and good breed ing, but every man takes off his hat to physical strength and endurance While the man who leads a sedentary life cannot hope, in this respect, to rival these sturdy tMn of the plains, they can be sound, vig orous, healthy men if they will. It is a matter of care of health while one has it, and the proper measures to restore it when it is lost. Most diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver. Troubles of this nature starve the body, because they prevent it from receiv ing its proper supply of nourishment Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery gives a man an appetite like a cow-boy’s and the digestion of an ostrich. Its great work is upon the stomach, large intestines and liver. These are the organs that nourish a man's body This medicine makes them strong, vigorous and healthy. It fills the blood with the nourishment that builds new, ■olid and healthy flesh, muscle and nerves. “ I am now enjoying magnificent health, after having suffered for years with chronic catarrh.' writes Ramon Sanchez. Esq . of Penasco. Taos Co , New Mexico. "By the use of your ‘ Golden Medical Discovery ' I have recovered my health, and am now. physically a sound man, attending to my business and enjoying life.” DON’T FORGET GEORGIA Fhe election in Georgia last week resulted in the elec ion of the ent’re Democratic ti'ket by the convincing majority of 63,- 000. Yet little space has been j devoted to the matter in the news columns of the papers, and lit has drifted down the current of past events with but slight comment. Yet it is a subject that does deserve not to be slightly dis missed. Georgia is a great state. She is one of the strongest pil lars of Democracy in the Union. She is brimful of energy, intel ligence, industry, morality, edu cational progress and statesman ship. She has elected for governor, Alien D. Candler, a sturdy old Georgian who, as the Atlanta Constitution puts it, “represents a’l that is rugged an I honest a "I a tr live in Georgia man hood. ’ Not only have Mr. Candler and the entire Democratic St te ticket Leen elected, but all the De nocra‘ic nominees for both houses of the Legislature, except 1.1 or 12. Geo'-gia will supple ment her October victory in November by electing a solid Democrat’c delegation to Con gress.—St Louis Republic. A JUDGE ON CIGARETTE SMOKING. There is at least one judge on the bench who does not believe in boys smoking cigarettes. At St. Louis, Mo., Satu'day morn ing Judge Peabody delivered a lecture from the bench on cigar etce smi tiiug, during the trial of the case of William Bent charg ed with disturbing the peace in having taken a cigarette from a boy eleven years old. Judge Pea body said : ‘ Our generation is becoming enervated and stunted from ex cessive ci ’arette smoking. Boys are not what they were in my time. They did nut then think it manly 1) poion themselves with vile nicotine, sod when they grew up they were men in every sense of the term. Children of tender years should be restrain ed from doing themselves such harm. I believe that no cigar etes should be sold to mines. Therefore, I think the defendant did a good and justiflable act. He is legally responsible, how ever. I will fine him $5, but will stay execution on good be havior.” MILITARY CAMPS IN GEOR GIA. The fact that the United States government has decided to quarter 50,000 men in Georgia is something which should be appreciated by every citizen of the state. Greater congratulations, how ever, should be felt over the generous recognition which the government has made of the state as a whole. It has gone from Athens to Americus, from Atlanta to Macon, from Augus ta across to Columbus and Al bany, taking in every section and giving its stamp of approval to the healthful conditions which prevail throughout the state. A greater advertisement than this the state of Georgia could not have received. It draws at tentiun to our varied possibili ties, and must have a result for good. This lasting impression which the location of so many troops will make for Georgia, far surpasses the temporary ad vantages which will come from tjhe distribution of money. These 50,000 men will have scattered back to their homes in all parts of the union, and without ex ception they will tell the story •WWOA MiH *'o9 BIQMOd DNIMV9 IYAOM •jm xpmiosdv hio/mm jjOq mil jeqio Au> M»qi jaqijaj RJiqi ,1 |Mpy MpMog Duiqeq apvjb .»qi ei jeAoy aqx of Georgia’s admirable climate, of her hospitable people and of the resou 'f-es of the state. —At- lanta Co istiiution.
