The President Wanted at New Or
leans

Great efforts were made to get Mr.. Ar
thur, wnen President, TO visit the New
Orleans Exposition. The main effort was
TO get him to be present at the opening of
the great fair. These efforts failed be-
cause Congress was in session, and Mr..
Arthur did not think that his public duties
would permit him 70 leave Washington.
He would have been glad, doubtless. to
have visited New Orleans aud to have
done what he could 70 advance the inter-
ests of the great Southern enterprise.
A few DAYS ago the Director General Of
the exposition, on behalf of the manage
ment, extended a very cordial invitation
to the President and his Cabinet to visit
the exposition on April 80, the day set
apart as Louisiana day"
The invitation is very strongly put,
showing that the Director General is an
expert advertiser, and knows how to state
his case in the sron gest possible way.
The Director General calls attention to
the fact that on Louisiana day" there
viii be present Representatives from every
section Of the vast territory that was pur-
chased from France by Jefferson in 1903,
and which was then known as louisiana.
There are few who take the trouble
to recall that the Louisiana purchase con-
tanned 1l1l,93l square miles of territory,
which is more than one-third o! the total
area Of the United States. That purchase
gave the United States control Of O,430
miles of navigable rivers. Out Of it
were carved the States OF Louisiana,
Arkansas. Missouri, Iowa, Oregon, Ne
braska, Kansas, half of Minnesota and
Colorado, and the Territories Of Wyoming,
Montana, Idaho, Washington and Dakota.
These states and Territories now have a
population of about 100000, and the
assessed value Of their real estate is
S1209, 507, sS7.
II may reasonably be expected that
"Louisiana day. will be the great day of
the exposition, and the President would
add greatly 20 the Importance OF the &C.
casion by being present.
Mr.. Arthur disappointed the New Or
leans people, and they will begin to think
that they are being sighted if President
Cleveland fails to respond to their invita-
ton. The distance is great, of course,
and the journey tiresome, but the exposi-
ton is worth seeing.

The Rond Bids.

The bids received for the bonds Of this
State show that the States credit is above
par. This fact is undoubtedly a source of
satisfaction TO every Georgian. one does
not like to have his State sneered at as
being of doubtful credit.
The bids show that Georgia bonds are
wanted, and wanted badly. Those who
expected to get them at par find them
selves disappointed.
1t will be somewhat difficult for the
Governor to decide which Of the bids to
accept. His inclination will be, doubt
less, to favor the small bidders in this
State. He would like, probably, to have
as many Of the bonds as possible held
within the State, and he would prefer, Of
course, that citizens Of Georgia should
get them without having to pay pre-
MUM for them to outsiders.
The question for him to decide, however,
is how can the interests of the State be
best served? If he should accept the
bids of the small bidders, he might not be
able to place all the bonds to so good an
advantage as if he accepted one OF the
bids that calls for all the bonds.
If either of the bids which calls for all
the bonds is accepted the bonds, Of course,
viii at once be placed on the market and
held at a premium. They can be readily
sold perhaps IN small lots at a premium
Of from 7 to 10 per cent. They are as
good as government bonds in every re-
spect, and as they are exempt from taxa
tion and pay a fair interest, there is no
reason why they should not command
good preminm.

Register Bruce's Place wanted.

FROM the Aelo York Times.
The report that Register Bruce would prob
ably be asked to resign has been heard several
times since the change of administration, and
IS generally accepted as true. An indication
OF the purpose TO make a change is found in
the resentation of a candidate to succeed ex-
senator Bruce. Up to this time Alabama has
received no recognition" in the way of pa
tronage. The apparent neglect of the State
mas caused no loud or unseemly grumbling.
nator Pugh, when asked how it came TO
pass that Alabama was so philosophical, re
piled: "Alabama's Democracy is not meas
ured or regulated by patronage" At last it
appears as II the state would be 'recognized.'
Inc entire delegation from Alabama has pre-
scented the name of the Hon. Peter u. box,
who formerly represented the Huntsville dis
trict, to secretary Manning for consideration
as that OF a capable man for the oil e OF Reg
l-ter OF the Treasury. Judge box was a
Union man during the rebellion, is a lawyer.
and is spoken Of as possessing both ability and
character,

From the Nelo York Times.
Gen. Komaroh7s explanation" and Rus

IN 1853, Russia, of course, regretted the uu-
fortunate occurrence" and made a show Of
blaming its author. But the offending Admi-
raj was privately invested with the Order Of
the White Eagle, and the advantage that he
had gained was utilized to the utm ST. So.

TO retain the captured city.

Where the Yellow Germ is Lodged.
As much study has been given to yellow
fever by the physicians of Rio Janelro as
by those OF any city where that dread
disease makes its appearance in an cpl
demic form. The experiments made at
Rio Janeiro to show that yellow fever can
be guarded against by vaccination, Just
as smallpox is guarded against, have at
tracted the attention of scientists in all
countries. Whatever, therefore. comes
from Rio Janeiro relative to discoveries
in connection with yellow fever is deemed
worthy OF notice.
In the Rio NetCs Of March Is there is a
communication from DR.. NunO de An
drade, health officer of the port of Rio
Janeiro, to the Minister of Empire. We
give the communication entire, because
it contains an interesting point based
upon observation. 1t is as follows: Il
have the honor to advise your Excellency
that up to this date no case of yellow
fever has occurred on the vessels in port,
although not a few cases have appeared
in the city. This fact, worthy of record,
cOrroborates the observation of what
occurred in the years 1882, 1885 and
1884. during which, although there was an
epidemic on shore, none was manifested
afloat, contrary TO the former observa-
tons, when the first cases registered in
the city were always followed by a vio-
lent epidemic afloat, which in its turn
caused an increase in the epidemic
ashore.
1t is to-day proven by experience that
the germen ofyellow fever is lodged (d0D1-
iciiiado) in the city and on the beaches, and
and that the order for the hauling off OF
vessels to the sanitary line, was of all
measures that which has produced the
most happy results. Commerce, which
at the commencement protested against
the measure, has already accepted it in
view of the benefits obtained. We have not
had the pain Of seeing, as happened in
former years, foreign vessels lose here in
port all their crews, and the consignees
Obliged to engage new crews to take them
to the port Of departure % / think,
therefore, that as to the sanitary service
Of the port, we may consider the periodi.
cal epidemic Of yellow fever extinct, and
believe at the same time that this fact
win show the possibility of completely
freeing ourselves Of this fatal guest of
thirty-fye years standing, when the i'm
proyements Of the hygienic condition of
the city shall be carried out.
"All things considered, the sanitary
service of the provincial ports does not
yet seem properly established. and l
think it my duty to call your Excellency's
attention to the plan for preliminary re-
forms which had the honor TO submit to
the imperial government about the end
Of 1SS2, and which caused, through the
Council Of State, the decree of Feb. 10,
1883. l am convinced that the sanitary
service OF the ports Of the empire should
be Uniform

Ready for Rnsineas-

From the Hartford Comm C0urant.
A gentleman living in the outskirts of the
city has fine shepherd dog which lately be
lllitte shepherds. Since then she has changed
from a docile and friendly companion to a
very rigid guardian of the premises. \ few
days ago loaf OF gram was sent ont from
the city to the stable, and, as no one appeared
ready TO take care of it, the cartman kindly
offered to put.it INTO the bin himself. He took
the first bag and went into the barn. The
people about the house did not see him come
out again. but gave the matter little concern.
When, however, an hour had gone by and the
team still stood at the door with no driver in
sight, an investigation was made and the
driver was found on top of ladder while the
faithful dog was seated at the foot ready for
business.

Col. o. Il. Singleton. when he closes his
present term IN Congress, will have had y
years Of continuous, uninterrupted service in
that body since the close Of the war. Prior to
that time lie had served six years in the Con-
gress of the United States, four years in the
Confederate Congress, ana eight years in the
Mississippi Legislature, two years as a Repre-
sentative IN the lower house and six in the
senate. These various terms of service cover
a period Of 80 years, and under this policy

An Englishman on the situation.

from tde y elO J OTh LF2CW0e.
The following extracts are taken from pri-
vate letter of an Englishman TO a friend in
New ork under date of March %:
"a II England is in an excited state over the
Russian advances. Active preparations for
war are making in all the navy yards. and in
military places the officials arc very busy.
There seems to be a general hope that Mr.
Gladstone will be able to maintain peace, but
should ne declare war against Russia every
BODY WI go IN heartily TO support him.
I'm the SOudan everything continues to
look black. and in this matter there is none Of
the unanimity of feeling which prevails with
regard to the Russian affair. 1t is agreed
that the government has terribly Numbered
ana the Tories are making great capital out
OF the divided opinions which are to he found
in the Liberal cOunsels. The Radicals think
that the government should have retired into
Egypt on the death of Gordon. The popu-
larity of that man is wonderful: everybody
seems TO have gone of his head about him.
Few only can be found to admit that the
greater part of the troubles of the govern
ment may be traced to his superfne madness
At any rate we have none but ourselves to
thank for all the fuss which began by Sey-
mour's trying his sl-tOn guns on Alexandria
and which VIII end God only knows when or
where.

as to the effects OF the new reform bin The
feeling prevails, however. that the Tories have

turned TO power at the next election"
