The New Capitol.

The Capitol Commissioners of Georgia
are now coming down to serious work.
The detailed examination of the pro-
posaIs for the new capitol is not job to
be desired, especially when the figures
are - or 30 per cent. higher than they
ought to be to get inside the limit fixed
for the cost of the building. The lowest
bid made for the whole work is nearly
$500. 900 in excess Of the funds available
forbuilding the capitol, after reserv1ng an
amount sufficient to pay the expense OF
the commissioners, superintendent, etc.
1t is stated, however, that some of the
Commissioners hope by culling the sever
al bids for separate portions of the work
to bring the total cost of the building
within the 81, zoo, 900. 1t is to be hoped
that they may be successful in this laud-
able undertaking.
The Commissioners stand obligated by
their own assurances and by the sentiment
of the people of the State to build the
capitol with the amount named in the
law. 1t is true that the cost of
a house. especially of public building
almost invariably exceeds the estimates
from % to so per cent, but the Georgia
capitol is one that the people desire shall
be an exception to the rule.
1t is to be regretted that the Atlanta
bidders, who were relied on to have the
capitol built by Georgians, out Of Georgia
material, fiunked by not complying with
the regulations as to the manner Of
making bids. 1t would have looked bet
ter if they had abstained from bidding
altogether.
Doubtless a majority of the thinking
people Of Georgia never expected the cost
of the capitol to come within the amount
appropriated. The proposition to make
an additional appropriation, however,
will not be a popular one, and the
Commissioners will be reluctant to
suggest such a thing. These gentlemen
deserve sympathy just now. If they can't
white out a suitable house from the
smaller proposals, the probabilities are
that they will have to ''cut and come
again. or adopt a less costly plan and
advertise for bids anew.

There is every season considerable
rivalry to secure the honor Of sending to
market the first bale of cotton of the new
crop. The first bale has not yet made its
appearance this season. Lastyear it was
reported in this city as early as July 6,
and in New York on July II. The bale
received in this city came from the inter-
Tor of this State and the one received
at New York was picked near
Houston, Texas. There we're doubts
about the genuineness Of the
Georgia bale, and it was admitted that the
cotton IN the Texas bale was picked be-
fore it had matured, As those who are
interested in promoting the cotton inter-
ests are DESTROYS only of securing fair
pIav in the matter of the first bale, the
National Cotton Exchange, at its meeting
at Old Point Comfort last July, adopted
n resolution in which it was stated "that
the National Cotton Exchange recon-
mends to the Cotton Exchanges Of the
limited States that a new bale of cotton
shall be so classed only when it is fully
matured. That any cotton found in such
bales not fully matured, shall be consid-
cred good ground for its rejection. All
first new bales received from any State
shall be submitted for examination to the
Committee on Classification at the Ex-
change where received, and their decision
Of acceptance or rejection shall be final"
1t may that this resolution has had dis
couraging effect on the first bale business.
The honor of having produced the first
bale ought to go to the planter who sends
TO market the first bale of mature cotton,
and not to the one who practices a decep-
ton. From the action of the National
Exchange it is evidently the purpose to
give honor to whom honor is due. The
cotton crop is late this year, and it may
be several days before the first bale is
heard from.

A BOOK about Garlbaldi, just published in
Germany, shows that the great Italian lib
orator had German blood in his veins, His
grandmother on the fathers side was Ger
man, the fact being proved by this extract
from the register of the Churge of Nugge, a
small Prussian village: "Joseph Maria Carl
ried August l6, 1885," This Joseph GaTibaldI
was the confidential friend of Theodor Won
Neuhof, who, after ascending the throne of
Corsica as Theodore l., sent lGarlbald1 to his
old mother st Soddenhoh, near Nuggeberg.
There, as now appears, the Italian married
TheOdore's sister, and eventually took her to
Nice. where he practiced as physician.

THE PLAN OF BATTLE.
Efforts to Get Blaine to Take the StumI
The Democratic Campaign.

Efforts to Get Blaine to Take the Stump
The Democratic Campaign.
Plans for the campaign, says Wash
ington special, are now being rapidly
matured by the leaders and committees
of both parties. The most important
move of the Republican committee at this
time is to induce Blaine to take the stump
in person. A great pressure will be
brought to bear upon him to do as
Douglas did in 1860, and make this a
speaking campaign on the part of the
candidates. The plan is, If Blaine can be
induced to accede, TO haXeehim speak in
Boston and Springfield, Man q in Hartford,
New Haven, Providence, New York,
Albany. Buffalo and other cities, if
possible. in New York; Philadelphia,
Baltimore, Pittsburg, Wheeling, Rich
mond, Raleigh, Memphis, Nashville,
Louisville. indianapolis, Cincinnati, Co
lumbus, Cleveland, Evansville, Spring
field, Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City,
Denver, Detroit, Milwaukee, st. Paul,
and San Francisco, thus taking in all
doubtful States and many that are not
doubtful. 1t is thought the people VIII
travel long distances to hear out OF Curl
osity, and that to see and hear him will
have a great effect. At any rate, Logan
peroned and feted everywhere by the
Grand Army.
Blaine and Logan are about to have a
meeting in New York, possibly, and then
their letters of acceptance, which have
been withheld to await the appearance of
the Democratic platform, will at once be
given to the public. One thing that
bothers the Republican committee no lit
tie is the distance from each other and
from political centres of Blame and Logan,
the one being in Maine and the other to
be in Chicago in a few days, while Cleve-
land and Hendricks are within easy reach
of each other and the National Committee
and on the most important debatable
ground. An effort will be made to induce
Blaine to locate himself farther west for
time.
The Democrats have done little as yet,
but it is known that they intend to make
a tremendous campaign in the doubtful
States, both with a view to elect the Presi-
Dental ticket and also to maintain their
hold on the House of Representatives and
to capture a sufficient number of Legisla-
lures in States which hold Senatorial cleo
tiOns to convert the Senate into Demo-
cratic body. Then they will not only con-
troll all legislation and appointments, but
will reorganize the Supreme Court.

Neither the Democrats nor the Repub-
licans appear to be entirely happy with
the condition Of political affairs in the
Second Congressional District Of Florida.
Mr.. Bisbee secured the Republican nomi-
nation for Congress, and he had hardly
finished receiving the congratulations Of
his friends before Walls, a eolored poll
tician Of some little reputation, sprang
into the arena ana announced that he
thought he could serve the district in
Congress better than Bisbee, and declared
himself a candidate. All attempts to get
Walls out Of the way have failed, and II
looks very much as If Bisbee and " ais
would divide the Republican vote between
them. The Democrats, thinking that they
would have an easy time in carrying the
district with both Bisbee and Walls IN the
race. met and nominated Mr.. Charles
Dougherty. Nobody denies that he was
the choice Of the convention
by a very considerable majority, but
it appears that Mr.. Dougherty is not
wholly satisfactory TO his party. Mr.. st.
Clair-Abrams, the editor of the TaYares
Herald. denOunces Mr.. Dougherty's nom
NATION as one unfit to be made, and de-
elares his purpose 70 use all the means In
his power to bring about Mr.. DougheTty's
defeat. He says that it is doubtful II
Mr.. DOugherty can carry his own county,
and that in quite a number Of other cOun-
ties in South Florida, viz: Nolusia,
Orange and Sumter, there is the most
intense Indignation over Mr.. Dougherty's
nomination. Thisis very sad state OF
affairs. What has Mr.. DOugherty done
that the best elements OF the party in
Sumter. Orange and YoIusia counties
should be so inimical to him? A little in
formation on this point would be
interesting. Has he done anything worse
than beat somebody for the nomination
who was the favOrite OF the best elements
in those counties? 1t is only fair that an
anxious public should be enlightened.
If he is a bad man, or if he isn't sound
Democrat, why not say so, instead OF
dealing in general terms? The conven-
ton that nominated him has the reputa-
ton of having been a very respectable
body Of representative Democrats, and 1t
would be unjust to condemn their work
without knowing the grounds on which II
is condemned. The Democrats of the
Second district must remember that the
Democratic party proposes to have
majority of the next House of Represen'
tatives, and that in order to get ma
jority it must have the earnest help OF
Democrats in every district in the coun'
try. Mr.. Bisbee carried the Second dis
trict of Florida at the last Congressional
election by majority less than 300. Il
| the Democrats act harmoniOusly they car
carry the district, especially as Mr.. Bis
bee has opposition in his own party. If
however, the Democrats want Bisbee t.
represent the district they have only Il
listen to those who don't like Mr.. Dough
erty. 1t is hardly reasonable to suppose
that there are enough Democrats in tbs
district who are so far fOrgetful of theil
duty to the party as to help elect Re
publican.

The convention at Chicago last week
proved too much for Chas. III. Andrews,
one of the Connecticut delegates. Mr..
Andrews became i'll soon after reaching
Chicago, and as the physicians could do
nothing for him they advised that he
be taken home at once. He said to his
friends that he should never leave Chicago
alive. and made them promise that they
would take his body to his wife. He tried
to kill himself by jumping from the hotel
window. His friends started home with
him, but at Toledo he became raving
maniac, and was placed in an asylum in
that city. He is man Of wealth, and is
only 40 years Of age. 1t is barely possible
that the effort to determine how the two
factions of the party would agree upon a
tariff plank was the primary cause Of his
insanity.

80 I.ost TO Memory.

Republicans who flourished in the South
during the carpetbag era are long-lived
race. Every now and then one OF these
ex-ofice holders 'sbobs up serenely." The
last and probably the least of these wor-
thies who has been unwittingly thrust
to the front is Henry 5. Wetmore. who
was Ordinary of Chatham county in the
DAYS following reconstruction. Wetmore
is now Admiral Porter's private secretary.
1t appears that WetmOre was mixed
IN in the Naval Medical Bureau frauds,
about which Mr.. Hendricks and Mr..
Chandler have just been having very in
teresting correspondence. The statement
is that Wetmore received % per cent. of
the amount thapOne transaction yielded.
How much more he got, if any,
has not yet been revealed. 1t is
reported that there is to be a Blaine
and Logan ratification meeting held in
this city at an early day. Itmight be well
for the committee of arrangements to Sc
cure the presence Of some Of the distin-
guished Republicans who iourished in
Georgia when that party ruled the State
BY the bayonet, and its leaders lived on the
fat Of the land by reason Of the exactions
wrung from an oppressed people.

The Cry in the Air.

The cry for reform is IN the air, and it has
been demonstrated that no substantial re-
form is possible without change in the ad-
mlnistratiOn of the government. With but
two political parties in the field, the only pos
sible change must be in the substitution of one
for the other The country is at peace. All
the States of the Union are exercising in their
respective spheres the functions of govern
ment unmolested, the old feuds are dead,
there is now manifested between them a bet
ter spirit of fraternity than there ever was
before. and if reform is to come, 1t must be
through the party that has raised the banner
of reform, and through putting fresh men IN
high official stations and at the helm of gov
ernment.

Rosa suspects that Howard is yet a Sc

that his mission is to establish in New

after dynamiters and not after frauds, it
seems that Rosa need not lose any
