A prominent Catholic clergyman sug.
gests that it would be well for the State
to buy Pho Mono college, at Macon, for the
technology school. The building is large
and new and splendidly situated on 4C
acres of high land overlooking the whole
city of Macon. The clergyman says the
school at Pho Mono went down during
hard times, and that, as the Catholics OF
Georgia are almost too poor to support
the school, the church would probably be
willing to either sell outright to or make
a trade with the State.

An Otter Chase.

From, the VdEdoStd (Ga.) Times.
On Thursday last. as Messrs. John
Mathis and Henry Bowling were riding
home from mill, they saw a large otter
run across the road and take up the run
of a branch, which crossed the road just
ahead of them. After some moments par
leying as to the possibility of capturing
the animal, they dismounted, fastened
their mules. and took up the little stream
in hot pursuit, tracking the otter, as il
we're, by the mud he had stirred up in the
water. When they had proceeded some
distance, they came to an open basin, in
which they supposed the otter had con-
cealed himself, and it was decided that
one should go around the basin and take
a stand, while the other made a drive; but
his Ottership, not deeming it prudent TO
remain, reached the stand a few yards
in advance of his pursuers, and, "tak-
ing to his heels" across the ridge, a race
ensued for a quarter OF mile or more,
which cannot easily be described, but
should have been seen to be appreciated,
at the end of which both men and otter
were almost completely exhausted. Twice
Bowling came in contact with the ''var-
mint,o but for want of a club Of sufficient
strength failed to bring him to the ground.
During the second engagement his otter
ship decided to compare hisfghting skill
with that Of Bowling, and taking a liberal
taste of his shoe caused that gentleman
to draw very literally on his activity,
and by an energetic system of stamps
and kicks the animal was held at bay till
Mathis arrived with pole, when he was
Immediately dispatched. his felt removed
and carefully stuffed.

SAM PJRDY.

The statement has been made in some Of the Democratic papers that all people regardless of party condemned Sam Purdy for his action in breaking tine deadlock. The journals that made such rash statements are beginning to find ont their mistake. Below will be found the views of MT. Purdy's home paper the Yuma Sentinel on his action:
 We of Yuma, who are acquainted with the facts and influences that elected Mir. Pur1y to the Assembly from tbis county, can overlook and justify him in his action in bolting the Democratic caucus nominee for Speaker of the House and supporting the Republican candi- date. Though Mir. Purdy ran on the Democratic ticket here for member O. the Assembly from this county, he main tained, during his campaign, an inde- pendent position and was elected by in dependent votes, and not ''by the Demo crats," as our friend of the ''Silver Belt" would have the people believe. The hIs- tory Df his campaign bears Us out in say ing so. Therefore, abstrac;ediy, the Democracy had no claim on, and had it T larity and the very handsome support he obtained from the Republican ranks he would have been defeated. He was therefore, under obligations to the Re publicsns, and the people of Yuma say Amen to Mr. Purdy's course. No one in Yuma finds fault with MT. Purdy's action, except one or two red hot Demo crats whose reason Is controlled more by prejudice than good sound judgement in the premises. The res ,lutions passed by the Democratic members of the Leg islature by which he, (Hon. Samuel Pur dy) was tread out Of the Democratic party" will have no more effect upon the Democracy and the people of Yuma, than SO much foolish twaddle, aud ai the next election Mr. Purdy will be again elected member ,t the Leglsla- ture from this county by a handsome majority over his opponent whoever he may be.

THE Los Angeles Times gives long account of an Ohio man who has hoofed it all the way from the Buckeye state to the cIty of the cherubs. The man rep resents himself as a graduate of Harvard class of 'Sl. It is very strange that an educated and a presumably intelligent man should fool away his time in the occupation of a common tramp through Indiana. Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Colorado. True there was something to be seen in New Mexico and Arizona, but he could have better employed himself than spending nearly two months of valuable time walking over barren ground. Mr Lumis may have gradu- atei at Harvard in 1881; Il Is quite cer- tain, if We are to believe his story, that he graduated as a common tramp in the class of 'Sj.

"O'DoSovAS RossA IS dead" passed from the lips of those who first read it in the CITIZEN last evening, and SO far as we heard the announcement was in- variably supplemented with "I am glad of it." Later telegrams during the night, however. made it certain that Rossa was not dead, but seriously wounded, and this ID rning the expression Is. "I am sorry he Is not dead" This expression of the people of Tucson is but fair av- craze of what prevails throughout the UnItel States, and shows how utterly they detest the damnable practices of the Dynamiters. ODonovsn Rossa Is tbe prime mover in the United States of this inhuman practice, which be openly sd vocates in his newspaper and daily con versation. It IS not believed that Rossa has large following but he has enough to cause much trouble to this country If they are longer allowed to go on ss
 hey have been for the past year or two. The interest of humanity and the honor and welfare of this nation, demand the exterpation of such inhumsn wretches. The CITIZEN does not approve of the st- tempted assassination of Rossa; 1t does not approve of assassination in any form whatsoever, but it would like to zee a law passed during the present session of Congress that would effectually wipe out the inventors, distributors and ad- vocates of dynamite in killing innocent people, either in this or foreign coun- try.

 CHICAGO, Jan. 2S.-To whom it may concern: Lsboucher, of the London Truth, is a shameless liar, m assassin Of character. JOHN MCCAFFERTH.
 The Tribune then proceeds to give history of John which was doubtless ob- taIned from Johns own lips. But If that portion which relates to his career in Arizons where he became famous for his able leadership and accumulation of great wealth, is to be taken as a sample of what John is and has been, the biog- raphy is not worth much. John was not looked upon ss a very heavy weight here; did not accumulate great fortune here. The fact is that John was regarded as failure by those who knew him best, kind of a crank on general principles.

TIE Oklahoma boomers seem to be making the most noise just now with every prospect of getting on top before long. The Kansas Legislature has be- come interested in the matter and have passed resolutions favoring the opening of that Territory for actual settlement. In discussing the resolution a member, in advocacy of the measure, stated that "the time had arrived when the question of occupation should be settled between the people and the great monopoIies represented by the cattle kings. If set tiers were to be put off the Indian Ter titory he wanted to see the cattle kings put off also" Other speakers followed, m the same strain. It is said that nearly the entire tract is already occupied by cattle companies, and hundreds of miles of wire fence encompass from one to two hun dred thousand acres of land each. These immense pastures are filled with thous- ands of cattle, and a few monopolies, by the connivance of the Gov ernment, or otherwise. have grown immensely rich, while the poor Okla homa boomers, who only desired l6O acres of land each, have repeatedly been driven from such occupancy at the point of the bByonet by United States soldiers. There seems to be something wrong m this Oklahoma busi- ness. If poor settlers have no rights there what business have rich cattle companies there, and why are they per mitted to remaIn? New light should be turned in that the people may see and understand the true condition of affairs and act intelligently in remedying the wrongs that have evidently been go- ing on there. The time for opening up the Iudian Territory or that portion of it known as Oklahoma. has arrived and neither the President or Congress can delay it much longer. Utah, Colorado, Montana, Wyoming and Arizona were first settled and afterwards terms were made with the Indians. The same will be done in the Indian Territory, if Con- gress does not provide a way by treaty stipulation.
