CONGRESSMAN HAUGEN of this state has
delivered a tariff speech in congress-
Haugen knows just as much of tariff as
lie docs of the Garden of Eden. He stud
lei up few points from the speeches Of
other members and at once developed
into an authority on tariff matters. It
Is no wonder that during the tariff dis

the house should be empty.

\ SENSATIONAL rumor to the effect that

The rumor certainly is not In accord with
reports o. the strained relations between
Germany and Russia, as there is the an.
tagonism arising from conflicting inter
ests between England and Russia. and
any dminution of the power OF the for
nler would rebound to the advantage of

RarnesvilIe,s Lianor.shop.

Tho city OF GAINESVILLE, Georgia, is run on
strict prohibition principles. Ithas closed its
saloons and has opened liquor shop of its own
for the sale Of whisky, wine, beer and other
stimulants to be used for medical, scientific
and mechanical purposes. All sales are for
cash, and the accounts Of the public barkeeper
are audited by tho mayor and the common
council. Nothing but the best quality Of
liquor is sold.
The GAINESVILLE liquor-shop, belonging as IL
does TO every citizen, will naturally attract to
itself large amount of patronage. III the gem
tlemen with red noses fall i'll very frequently
and send for whiskey TO be used for medici-
nal purposes, who shall say that they are not
acting with commendable public spirit? The
receipts Of the liquor-shop go into the cty's
exchequer and are used for the public good.
If the mayor should hourly remark to the
chairman Of the council committee on finance,
"Come, let us 80 over to the shop and audit
tho accounts" would not every Taxpayer
praise the vigilance of that worthy public ser
want? 1t being part Of his duty 70 see that
none but the best liquors arc sold, who could
fail to approve OF his testing tho liquors at
every visit?
The city government OF GAINESVILLE has hit
upon an interesting method Of unfolding 80
briefly and banisbing intemperance. The ma
tion viii view the results OF this arrangement
with interest.

tism Of the union officers and soldiers station
ed at Albany and the kidly disposition and

threatened storm being precipitated.
Sporadic cases of outrage were bruited about,
and the interpostion of federal power was
moro than once solicited by unprotected
women. Be it said to the eternal credit of the
officers commanding this post. there was never
an appeal to them, but the Agis of
their authority spread its protection
over the helpless. In the extremity
OF their apprehensions, our people began to
apply for permission to retain some Of their
arms, and authority was given by the COM
mandants of district for such permission TO be
granted to proper persons to retain and bear
sporting arms" 1t is rather amusing to see
now what class of firearms was included under
the head of sporting arms.
