Mr.. Burnam's Speech.

Mr.. j. HI. Burnam addressed an
audience of fifty or sixty persons, but
few of whom were from the country,
at the court house last Saturday. Mr..
Burnam is rather an ordinary looking
man, but makes quite different i'm
preston when he warns up to his
subject. He would make formida-
BILE antagonist in debate, and he en-
deavored to impress his audience with
the fact that his competitors were
afraid to meet him in joint discus
sion. He said that they had chosen
private in preference to a public
canvass, and asked, Who ever heard
of private canvass for public Office?
If it has been the custom heretofore
for candidates for a judicial office to
engage in public discussions of ques-
tons at issue, it has been custom
more honored in the breach than the
observance. And for the simple rea-
son that there are no questions at
issue, but those of personal integrity
and fitness for the Office, which are
surely not suited for stump orations.
We have no desire to prejudice Mr..
Burnam's claims to the Office, bat we
do desire to see him urge claims more
in consonance with the character of
the office. While admitting that the
characters of his opponents were as ir-

Washington Letter.

With a nest of fillibusters in Con-
gress and the President cruising
about Chesapeake bay in the Corsair,
some patriotic citizens solicitously in
quire, whittier are we drifting?"
Scarcely had it become known how
ever, that Mr.. Cleveland had been
enticed from his hard work of the
past week, for little recreation, than
he was again at his desk refreshed for
another round of executive vetoes of
spurious pension bills.
Some idea may be obtained of the
steady, hard work of the president
lately, when it is stated that on one
day he approved eighty eight pension
bills and vetoed thirty, giving each
case careful personal attention before
action. They messages were writ
by himself and each averaged over a
page of foolscap paper, closely writ
ten. In examining each bill sepa-
rately, he had for his guidance the
reports from the Senate and House
Committees and the report from the
Pension Bureau.
The Treasury has never had SO reli-
able a watchdog as President Cleve-
land. Not only has he beaten the rec
ord on vetoes, but he vetoed more
bills on one day alone than any pre-
vious president had disapproved dur
ing his entire term of Office. His
total record is now about seventy-siX,
while previous to his accession the
whole number of vetoes from the
foundation of the government was
only 100. All but seven of Mr.. Cleve-
lands vetoes were of private pension
bills. Before his administration only
one pension bill had ever been disap-
proved and that was by Gen. Grant.
The prospect of an early adjourn
ment of Congress has also received a
summary disapproval from the Pres
ident. He has notified the able leg
islative politicians who have been in
the habit of crouding through their
schemes during the last gasps of the
session, that he intends to read each
bill carefully and inform himself OF
its provisions before he signs it.
He asserts that he will not go to
the Capitol and approve of bills as
fast as they are brought to him for
the sake of expediting adjournment
With regard to appropriation bills he
deems it as his duty to consider
every item and he warns the mem.
bers of the two Houses that they
need not send him long bills appro.
priating large sums of money written
a day or two before adjournment
with the idea that he will approve
them blindly. With his feeling Of
responsibility he declares that he can
do nothing of the kind.
While the Democrats are delighted
with Mr.. Cleveland's aggressive atti
tude with relation to pension bills
the Republicans are frothing with
indignation. Representative Bayne
of Pa, made a vicious attack upor
what he called the Presidents unpar
alelled monopoly of power, and the
Republican side applauded his vitu
peration. Mr.. Bayne was insulteC

CAPT. W. z. MANLY.

Captain W. P. Manly, whose picture heads
this article, is a well known member of At
lanta's excellent police force. Atlanta is
noted for the discipline and efficiency of its
corps of police and the standard of its rank
and file is very high. Captain Manly is a
fair specimen of the intelligence and
physical perfection which is required of its
officials. Some years ago the Captain unfor
tunately acquired blood poison, which for
year gave him more or less trouble, and
threatened to undermine and totally destroy
his entire physical system. He is magnif-
fent specimen of manhood with constitu.
tioh like iron, but this insidous disease gave
him
UNMISTAKABLE WARNING
that it was sapping and mining at the founda-
ton of his constitution. The Captain said in
conversation lately:
eyes, sir, about two years ago l was afflict-
ed with bad case of blood poison, and after
trying various blood remedies in large quanti-
ties without doing me the slightest good,
was induced to try Hunnicutt's Rheumatic
Cure, and after using three bottles was com.
pletely cured.
81 am now in perfect health and attribute
my present condition to this wonderful
medicine. l cheerfully recommend it to
all who are suffering with any blood disor-
der.

edy, tits price being only 81 a bottle should

second, the exact amount to be paid in each case
have not been finished, but the amount of the judg
ments is stated at I6 2, S27 and the balance of the
Geneva award at $5,1:9,i95, so that PERCENTAGE of
the judgment which will be paid in each case will
be about 35'4 per cent. Many of the judgments,
owing decision of the court that each party in in
terest was entitled to Il seperate judgment, were
for very small amount, 50 that the work of
calculating the amount to be paid is necessarily
