l know a young lady who lives down
in one of the southern counties. She is
M of the prettiest girls in England,
has five thousand a year in her own
right, Is just three-and-twenty and the
daughter of a peer whose pedigree goes
hack to the Conquest and whose coun-
try house is the show-place of the coun-
ty. To look at her you would think her
the q~uietest of the quiet and that she
hadn't an idea beyond crochet and weak
tea. But she hunts, has her own stable,
keeps four hunters, now and then rides
a steeple-chase, buys and sells her own
horses without help from anyone; has
her own wine merchant, wine-cellar
and tobacconist; fences, boxes, skates
and rows; has her boudoir decorated
with foils, gloves, whips, ho%rseshoes
and hunting trophies; smokes cigarettes
during the day and cigars after dinner !;
is a capital judge of claret and port and
can tell Amontillado from MARSHA with
her eyes shut; is a first-rate shot with
shotgun or rook-rife; draws her own
bills; and last, though not least, has a
delightful way of letting you see her
foot and ankle when she puts one leg
over the other on sitting down, that
would make a prim old dowager faint
and get her sat upon directly by the
sly ones. Yet she has never been known
to firt, has refused more offers than the
quiet ones aver dreamed of receiving,
and once, it is related, taught the
Prince Of Wales a lesson by stopping in
the middle Of a valse with him at a
state ball at Buckingham Palace, and
refusing to go on because he held her
tighter than she consider proper.

Congressman-at-Large

Our Atlanta special states that the in
dications are that Hon. George I. Barnes
will be the successful candidate before
the Democratic Convention which as
sembles in Atlanta tomorrow for the
nomination for Congressman at large.
Our readers know full we'll our posi-
ton on this subject We have contend
ed, and do contend, that this position
should, by all the principles of equity
and Justice, be given to this section of
the State. OF all offices in the State not
one is filed by a representative of the
seaboard, although we are able to pre-
sent-and have presented-for the posi-
ton, the names of several gentlemen
whose reputation for ability, honesty
and dignity are known throughout the
length and breadth of Georgia, and who
would reflect the highest credit upon
their commonwealth in the Federal Leg
islature; besides which this county alone
paws more taxes into the State Treasury
than does any other county in the State,
save Fulton.
Still, if the seaboard is to be persist
emily ignored; if she is to have no rights
in the State; if she is TO be regarded sim
ply a portion of Georgia for the sole
aud only purpose of paying taxes
into the State Treasury, and if
there is no hope that the mantle of Con
gressman-at large or any other Office is
to be accorded her, then the position
could not be conferred upon one more
worthy of it than Mr.. Barnes. He is a
gentleman of learning, ability and ex-
perience. and will grace the office.

The proposed increase of the duty on
cotton ties is creating some excitement
at the New York Cotton Exchange A
letter from that city states that members
of the Exchange allege that the effect on
the trade will be very injurious. and at
New Orleans they seem to be of the same
way of thinking. The President of the
National Exchange there has telegraphed
the President Of the New York Cotton
Exchange as follows: "YOu are re-
duested to use your influence by telegraph
officially with your Senators and mem
bers Of Congress to defeat the iron ties
bill. inasmuch as it will add largely to
the cost Of preparing the cotton crop for
market, and fall solely on the planting
interests of the South. The New
Orleans Exchange sends to Washington
tins day a delegation to speak for the
planting interests in this matter. Please
secure to them all the co operation in
vour power" To this telegram the fol-
lowing response was transmitted: Sub

Iowa has voted to incorporate prohl-
bition of the liquor traffic into the con-
stitution. and now The matter Of enfOrc-
ing the law is discussed. 1t seems that
the difficulty is Just beginning. An extra
session of the Legislature is suggested,
because the regular session will not be
held for more than a year, but the Gov
ernor has not yet decided to summon the
Senate and House, Notwithstanding q
strong pressure is brought to bear upon
him. Complaint is also made that the
amendment is defective, since it viii be
possible to give liquor away and avoid
the law which forbids the sale. In short,
what is proposed is a provision absolute
" exclusive of intOxicants. The Boston
Advertiser thinks that the history of the
Iowa movement shows that statutes
are not enough. There must be a fayOra-
bic public opinion behind them. The
minority in Iowa is large enough 10

The SaDelo Island Quarantine.

We publish elsewhere a special tele-
gram from Dr. T. J. Turner, Secretary
Of the National Board of Health, in reply
to the telegram from the Citizens Sani-
tsry Association of this city, which was
published in our local columns of yester-
day, in regard to the closing of the Sapelo
Island quarantine station. 1t will be
seen that this station will have to be
closed unless the appropriation bill is so
amended as to provide for the mainte
nance of the quarantine stations of the
National Board of Health, but it will be
kept open until Congress takes final ac-
ton in the premises.
We cannot too strongly urge upon our
Congressional delegation the importance
Of prompt action in this matter. The
quarantine stations Of the National
Board of Health should be. considered
invaluable to the country at large in
assisting to preserve the public health,
and the prevention of the spread of con-
tsgiOus and epidemic diseases. This
was the object of the establishment OF
that body, and it requires no very acute
intellect to see that its services may be
above price. Therefore, even if there
was not a surplus of $3.50, 900, 600 in the
Treasury, the levying of an additional
tax for the maintenance of the Board
would be iustifable but with that sur
plus living in the public vaults, there IS
absolutely no possible excuse which
| Congress can give for not making pro-
visions for so important a service, espe-
j ciallv when our Federal Legislatures so
reckless about donating the peoples
money freely to all kinds of wild cat
schemes for the benefit of individual
communities and political favorites.
On the principle that IAN ounce of
prevention is worth a pound of cure, "
the National Board of Health should be
maintained at all seasons, but especially
during the present period of the year,
when epidemic diseases are more likely
than at any other time to be introduced
into the country, and when every pre-
caution should be used to guard against
them. 1t should be remembered, too,
that such diseases do not threaten the
South alone. Northern ports are liable
to their ravages as well as those further
south, should they get a foothold in
them and climatic conditions favor their
spread. AID while we admit that it is
clearly the duty of every city and port to
keep a strict watch over the health of its
individual community, still the National
Board of Health not only furnishes an
additional safeguard, but, inasmuch as il
is backed up by the General Government,
enjoys unusual facilities for guarding
tue health of the country at large.
No more important subject than making
proper appropriations for the mainte-
nance of our health service can come
before Congress, and it is to be hoped
there will be no adjournment until favor
able action in this matter has been taken

Evils of the Pension List

General Joe E. Mcdonald, in a speech
before the Editorial Association of In
diana. made the following statement in
regard to the pension list, which should
be well considered by voters at this time,
as the evil bids fair eventually
to drain the Treasury. He said
we have commenced a civil list
of pensions which is almost as large now
as the English list, and it will go on I'M
til we pension every Federal officer in
the government. We now pension
all the Federal Judges, all the
army officers who are retired at the
age of sixty-three, and it will go on down
until all the clerks will have to go upon
the roll of pensions. This Republican
partyis keeping up and maintaining the
most unjust and Ubiquitous system of
taxation which has ever been fastened
upon free people. We now have two
systems of taXation-internal revenue
and tariff duties. The internal revenue
now rests mainly upon two articles.
The other tax, the tariff, has been grow
ing into its present monstrOus proper
tiOns for years. During the war it
was insisted that great increase was ne
cessary for war purposes, but after the
war they refused to decrease the tariff,
as it should have been. In 1642 the
Henry Clay tariff, the high protective
tariff of that day. did not average upon
manufactured articles more than 80 per
cent, but the present rate is over 30 per
cent. upon the same articles Now, my
fellow citizens, instead of disposing of
this question, the Republican Congress
has turned the whole question over to a
commission appointed by the President,
a majority of whom are in favor of the
classes who are benefited by the present
system.

The Virginia Democrats did wise act
when they declined to put candidate in
the field for COngressman-at-large, with
the understanding that the party would
support Mr.. John E. Massey for that
position. Save and except in the matter
of reputation, Mr.. Massey has always
been an out-and-Out Democrat, but as he
opposed his party on that point the
Democrats were unwilling to nominate
him outright. They are willing to sup
port him, however, both because the
State debt question is settled as far as
legislation can settle it, and it is now in
the courts, and because he hates bOssism
and will make q most effective campaign
