THERE are four medical colleges
is Atlanta. Recently one of them
sent out into the world fifty-eight
graduates with diplomas, and another
sent out thirty five. One of the
graduates was sixty FIVE years of age
and had been practicing for thirty
years. An act of the last legislature
required all precticing ply sicians to
register in the clerks Office in the
Superior Court in the county 10
which they purposed to practice,
producing their diplomas. As many
had no diplomas, they we're compell-
ed to re enter college and undergo
training. Many having declined or
refused to abide by the law, will
abandon the practice in Georgia.

Washington Post. }


Although it cannot be said that the
Democratic party is 10 all respects
Just as it's members and admirers
would like it to be, still its condition
Just now will compare most favora>
bly, with that of its opponent. Not
only is there a woeful lack of enthu-
siasm 10 the ranks Of the Republic
cans, but the Engagements therein
have resulted in almost pratical dis
organization. They are also, espec>
tally the wing in power, involved in
all sorts of entangling alliances,
North and South, to which they are
constantly endeavoring to make ad
ditious; and although they control
every department of the Govern
ment, upon no question or policy,
foreign or domestic, are they a unit.
An impartial Judge, thoroughly &C
quAiuted with the history and record
of tho. party, would unhesitatingly
declare that at no time in its history
has it been so weak in princi pies,
policies or official representatives as
at present.

When settling time came he sold

arrest him, and had him brought

DEMOCRATIC CLEAN SWEEP

A late Washington dispatch says ::
The Democrats have determined at
recent conferences to mske des-
perate effort next fall to carry every
doubtful State. They say they pro
pose to perfect an organization in
every such State early in the suns
mer and that they will move forward
to victory. They have fixed their
longing eyes in particular on Maine
and Massachusetts. They will, they
assert, carry both States, the former
by 5000 majority. Pennsylvania
they are certain of, and they depend
on factional fights in the Republican
party in other States to give them in
all twenty-five majority in the next
House. Southern leaders say they
will kill what is left of the liberal
movement in their several States
next summer, by liberalizing their
own platform and bringing the young
men Of the party to the 'front.'
They express themselves as more
sanguine of success than they have
been for years.

Devices OF the Book Trade.

A young woman of this city answered
in person vaguely worded advertise
ment which held out the promise of $12
per week. The nature of the business
was not revealed. On applying she dis
covered that, stripped of its mystery, it
was simply that of book canvasser.
She was tod that she was to dress as we'll
as possible. A refined manner was also
indispensable. Her dress must be so cut
that large pocket should be concealed
in its folds. This pockei was for the
purpose of concaaling the specimen"
number of the book in question. Be-
cause now people to be canvassed are
warned on seeing approach the shabbily
dressed woman with the book in her
hand, and close their doors against her.
The plan in this case was to mask the
battery and hide. the book until further
preparations were made. These prepar-
ations consisted in getting admittance to
the house to be captured on plea of max
ing formal call, though an entire stran-
ger. The stylish visitor was expected to
gain access to the house through some
we'll devised excuse. She was to converse
for time on general topics, and these
we're eventually to be worked round to
the proposition to subscribe for the book.
The poor girl, though disliking the
idea, conformed to these propositions.
1t was suggested to her that she might
have friends who, to aid her and give her
start, would subscribe. She had such
friends. She told them of her "chance."
The first week she .nade $6-all through
subscribing friends. The next week she
made nothing, and gave the "chance"
up.
This was probably all that the schemer
expected of her. The advertisement still
has its place and other victims will fall
into the same trap.-[N. Y. Graphic.
