With due allowance for exag geration, Havana may be truth fully pronounced a very dirty' and unhealtbful city. Consider ing its size and commercial iu>- portance, it is probably the dir tiest and most uns.nitary city in the Western Hemisphere. Capt. Davis, who was appoint ed by Gen. Greene some time ago to make a thorough inspec tion cf the city , has nearly com pleted his task and pronounces Havana the most unsanitary place, under existing con iitions, or. the Western side of the At lantic. Vienna, with a million and halt population, he says, aver ages onlv 25 deaths to the thou sand and it is called the pesthole of Europe, while Havana, with one-sixth as many people, shows a larger death rate in 11 months than Vienahasin 12. He esti mates that the deaths in Havana this year will outnumber those of Chicago, which is seven times as populous by 5,000, and will excesd the totals of Boston, St. Louis, San Francisco and Bal timore combined. These comparisons show the imperative necessity for subject ing Havana to the most rigor ous system of sanitation it is poeible to establish with tin means at hand The health of our troops, of the thousands of civilians flock ing to the c.ty for residence and investment, and the promotion of commercial ami agricultural enterprise in the aland, much of whose current will flow through its principal port, em phasizes the importance of cleaning, sewering ard disinfect ing according to the advanced methods practiced in leadiag cities of the United States. Gov, Candler is holding fast to every promise he made to th* people of Georgia in his cam paign. He emphatically declared ' that the atate tax rate should not be allowed to go higher, and he is eminently correct. ll* is will ing to us® the pruning knife on appropriations in order to keep the state out of confiscation. All true Georgians a : e with Cel. Candler.—Buchanan Banner- Messenger. It has long been a fad to name cigars after great men— generally aft r they are dead and cannot nnoke them, Illinois I has entered upon x new field and I the Billy Mason ham is the out- I put of a packing house with ! compliments to bestow.

The animals were imported from Greenland and Labrador at a cost of .S3O e’.ch, and were selected for their superiority in speed training and weight. Temperance advocates find deep significance m the fact that the schooner Booze was wrecked on the bar off New York harbor in the recent storm. The sehooner was overloaded and the high rollers caused her to have a rocky time on the bar. 1 Doesn’t it seem a bit contra dictory in military terms Hiatit should nr an promotion for i» major g nrr ;1 to become a lieu tenant ge eral Indignant Mormons will prob ably answer the attack of Brig ham Y nog’s grandson by ask ing him where he would have © been but so polygamy. ■ ", | The Memphis • Commercial Appeal offers this definition of a democrat : “A democrat now seems to be an American citizen who'thinks as he darn pleases.” The negroes of Ohio will organ ize to prevent race troubles.

Joe Whe.ler is not m the habit of advertising his val or through the medium of a string of medals on his breast. The other day a young woman of Washington said to him: “How is it you never wear any medals? You surely have some.’’ “No,” replied the general ; “I have not. 1 am no bicyclist, and 1 never made a century run in life. LITTLE IRONIES. To confess a fault is to more than half atone for it. A telepnene bell possesses no music if it is not for you. To look prosperous is one think, to f®el so quite another. The polonaise and the over lx irt have evidently come to May, White broadcloth is much used for bridesmaids’ gowns this season. When a w< m d> accuses a man of flattery she naiiif him to say seme more. Have you noticed how very pelite your servants are these days before Christmas? The man who is usually wrong never stops talking about it when he happens to be right. Why, oh, v*by, when we are s© dreadfully poor, do the shops displav such an array of bar g ( «i ns?
