THOSE CANALS ON MARS.

The planet Mars resembles these United States
of ours in one respect-this Is not an OIL year Win
it, Mars is exciting uncommon interest IN circles
that are partial TO heavenly bodies. Indeed, the
astronomers would seem TO be devoting more at
tcntion to it just now than TO all the rest OF the
solar system. This fact may or may not prove
ANNOYING to possible celestial owners OF con-
cctural corner lots on Mercury, Venus, Saturn
and other of our esteemed but remote nel9hDors
Perhaps, however, heavenly bodies, unlike some
bodies terrestrial, know no such word as jealousy.
Tho director Of the observatory at Nice would
seem TO be largely responsible for the boom which
Mars is now enjoying. Not long ago he remarked
70 his fellow observers OF the starry battlcments
that Mars was not looking it had been ac-
customcd TO- but had suffered material change,
one of its continents having disappeared ana
canal or something very like canal, having
made it's appearance Naturally, this report from
n Trustworthy source aroused the scientific world,
and the consequence Is that Mars Is the moso
talxed-about planet of the season.
The surface of this splendid luminary has been
carefully studied from time to time. That Mars
can boast Of and oceans snow and ice, ana
certain forms of life is'probable. But it is by no
means so probable that it can boast of the modern
Improvement, the aid to civilization known as
the canal The canal thcory-whch Is not
preached for the first time-does not meet with en-
couragcment from the men whose names carry
the greatest weight in scientific circles
And, if Mars has not already embarked in the
grave business of building artificial waterways the
children Of this world may well feel like advising
il to think twice before entering upon the under
taking A canal-plus free-canal pocy-is
mighty good thing But planets that have been
blessed with canals have sometimes been cursed
with canal rings. These rings, while never as
large as the rings of Saturn, are generally large
enough to pile upon the canals debts of generous
size Besides, just as home is Of little account
without n mother, O canal is a vain thing with
out canal mule. Docs Mars nOurish the IN

THE Democratic leaders of Hamil-
ton county have been investigating
the tally-sheets Of the late election
held in Chattanooga, and are conf
dent that they have discovered no
less than three hundred colored voters
most of whom came here from Geor-
gia to vote for III. Clay Evans, the
Republican candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Evans was elected by small
majority over Creed +. Bates as
shown by the face Of the returns, but
when the illegal votes are thrown
out it is said that the real majority of
Mr.. Bates will be somewhere between
one and two hundred. 1t is said that
the officers will make arrests by the
wholesale inside of the next week.
They are now engaged in getting
their testimony in shape.

and that no temporary defeat, much
less betrayal, can smother its eter-
nal fire, or eradicate its love from
the human heart. 1t lived through
eight years of the despotism of Grant;
four years of the usurpation of Hayes
with its sequeled of Garfield, and
four years more of victory without
its fruits. 1t can certainly survive
this galvanization of Republicanism.
1t seems to be accepted as a fact
among Mr.. Blaine's friends here,
that he should be made either Secre-
tary of State or Minister to England.
No one doubts that he could have
either position, but it is a mooted
question whether he would accept.
No credence is given to the report
that he would like to succeed Senator
Frye. There is an impression here
that Mr.. Blaine would prefer to re-
main out of the Cabinet, but as the
leader of his party, having potent
voice in making up the Cabinet and
distributing the offices. 1t is under
stood here that Mr.. Blaine viii live
in Washington next winter.
1t is believed that Senator Stanford
of California will have a cabinet
nomination. His subscription
to the Republican campaign
fund was enormous, stupendous, big.
The President-elect and Stanford
were personal friends when in the
Senate together. 1t is not thought
the California senator wants anything
for himself, but his friends of the
Pacific slope want all they can get.
/ may say, however, that Cabinet
making at this early day by even the
best posted, is premature. American
slate makers cannot make the Cabi-'
net of the incoming president. He
is reputed to have a little mind of his
own, and some diminutive minds
have q great deal of obstinacy and
selfassertion. 1t is probable that
somebody will be surprised when on
the afternoon of March 4, 1889, the
cabinet of President Harrison is an
.nounced. w.

WORKED IN THE AIR.
Painting ofthe Water Companys Huge
Stand Pips Completed and How il
Was Done.

Some days ago there arrived in
GAINESVILLE two Englishmen named
Edward and Thomas Buske, and
from their appearance would have
been taken as men Of the world
roaming at will. BY some means
they learned that the water company
was DESTROYS of having the stand pipe
at the east end of Franklin street
painted, so they nosed around and
finally secured the contract, which
they succeeded in fulfilling last Satur-
day afternoon.
The question Of how they would
ever get to the top of the big iron
tank was perplexing one to the peo-
pie at large; but these "London
Steeple Climbers" had their way of
accomplishing the task and here is
how they did it: A ladder was made
in sections and spliced in with ten,
twelve, and sixteen foot lengths; as
each length was put in; the part
constructed would be raised the prop
er hight, from the ground held at the
upper end by guy lines to keep them
inaperpendicular position for thenext
part to be connected and so on until
the top was reached. Then, with a
hook attached to piece of timber
and pulley block with rope were
taken to the top on the the ladder
which was secured by guy lines, the
painters then attached the swinging
scatfold and did their work with APP
parent case.

As an illustration Of progress in CEN
trail Asia it may be mentioned that while,
a few years ago, tho traveller was likely
to be killed by the natives, he is now in
greater danger of being smashed up in a
railroad accident. A train on the Trans
Caspian road was upset few weeks ago
near Sanarcand and five people killed.
They happened to be train hands and
Europeans, but had they been Moham-
medan pilgrims, who now employ this
modern method Of cxpediting their jour
ney to Mecca. there might have been n
great outcry against this infidel invcn-
ton for killing off the faithful. The in

civilized comforts, have their great dis
advantages. New York Sun.

Where the soft winds fragrant blow,
And the shadows stretch below;
Where the fishes come and 60,
And the stately swan birds lave
In the green and sunny wave,
My love and together,
Mid golden summer weather,
Laughed and sang the hours away,
Where the sunshine dreaming lay,
In the Chalet by the rIveri
There we watched each little boat.
Jagly laden past us float;
AS we heard each mellow note
From the song birds downy throat
Trilling all the long day through
Meath the hazy summer blue,
Where the cloud boats idly fly
Ger the river Of the sky,
In our hearts deep rapture sank, ~
AS from loves sweet cup we drank,
In the Chalet by the river
When the tender cleaning fell a..
With shadowy mystic spell,
Over river, vale and dell,
In deep solitude to dwell,
My love and fond plighted
Our VOWS, in bliss united,
While our hearts sweet rhythm kept
AS the moonlight softly crept
Slyly through the latticed rail,

Washington Letter.
To the Chronicle:

To the Chronicle:
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Now is
is the winter of Democratic discon-
tent, and the few, very few that Presi-
dent Cleveland has appointed to Office
here in Washington, are gloomily
awaiting the fourth of March and the
official axe. -Four years ago, when
it. became evident that the Democrat
| ic president would not turn the ras-
Gals out, ! wrote these words: "The
general who makes battle with an
army composed of traitors will be
shot in the back, and he deserves his
fate" Now this is precisely what
has happened to Mr.. Cleveland.
This one of the causes of his taking
off. II it were only the taking off an
individual it would not matter so
much, but the Democratic party,
through no fault of its own, is doomed
to four years of dirty eclipse.
1t was amusing to go through the
Government offices here Immediate
ly after the election, and study the
faces of the many Republican clerks
in contrast with the faces of the
sprinkling of Democrats who have in
some mysterious way gotten into
Office. The former were trying to
look lugubriOus at the defeat of their
friends, the the enemy, while the
latter were smiling desperately at
their own grief. High comedy has
furnished few things better to the in.
different onlooker, but behind it all
was that terriblest of tragedies, the
battle of life, in which not the fit,
but only the fittest survive.
Among Democratic politicians here
and elsewhere, the cursing is both
loud and deep. Mr.. Cleveland has
received something like a ton Of mail
denouncing him for his lack Of politi-
cal common sense, for his obstinacy
against advice; in short for his failure
to hold the fort. Those who sent
and are sending these letters may as
well know that the Pre- .ident never
sees them. He has several clerks
whose business is to select and burn
all such letters,
The Republicans held what was
intended to be grand parade and
celebration this week, but from inhe-
rent reasons it was a poor and almost
disgraceful affair, participated in
mostly by rabble Of negroes and
negro boys. Nearly every Rcpubli
can family in the city have husbands,
brothers, sons, daughters, cousins,
and aunts who have been retained in
Office by the present administration.
They know who feeds them, and
they looked on in silence as the dirty
coons, to the number Of three thous-
and, passed along with their Chinese
lanterns and transparencies, indecent
with such inscriptions as Grover,
your day is over. Benedict & Co.,
have gone out. 'Hurrah once more,
Growers been kicked out the White
House door"
1t is too early to talk about 1892,
but many Democrats here, in and
out of office, are talking about it, and
the drift of the talk, or / might say
their feeling is, that while Mugwum-
pry is dead, Democracy is immortal,

Gorham's Get.

and battery, was called in Recorder

result was that he was fined $50 and

The plaintiff showed up in very bad
shape, and three witnesses swore
they saw him whip her; while Cor
ham says that his wife attempted to
interfere with his business and pro-
voked him to the act. He says he
has provided good and comfortable
home for his wife, and simply de-
mands that she stay there, enjoy it,
and let him and his business alone.
