A State Road Suggestion.

In a communication published in the
QUitman Herald the position is taken
by the writer Of it that the Western
and Atlantic railroad should neither
be sold nor leased but should be op-
Grated by the state. He gives some very
good reasons for his opinions. One Of them
is that if the road is sold or leased it will
pass under the control of one or the other
of the great railroad systems of the south
the Richmond Terminal and the Louisville
and Nashville In that event the outlets of
the state TO the west will be controlled by
these two systems, and railroad building in
the state will receive q check, because of
the want of a western connection. OF
course the west can be reached over the
lines of either one of the systems, but these
systems will discriminate in favor of their
own lines, and, hence, lines in opposition to
them will labor under great disadvantages
If the Western and Atlantic is operated
by the state all the roads in the state, and
all that may be built, will stand on an equal
footing so far as a western connection is
concerned. This condition of affairs will
encourage railroad building in the state.
mates that If the state operates the Western
and Atlantic $50, 900 will be spent in
building railroads in the state within the
next twenty years, and that the tax from
these new roads will amount to 5000, 900 an
nually. The new roads also will cause an
Increase in tine states taxable property of
many millions Of dollars.
Ii the estimates of the Quitman Herald
writer could be depended upon there would
seem to be no doubt that it would be advs-
able for the state to operate the Western
and Atlantic after the expiration of the
present lease.
But although the estimates are mere
guesses, may they not be somewhere near
the truth! Although it cannot be said
whether the estimates are correct or not
the suggestion that the Western and At
lantic be operated by the state is worth
some consideration from the legislature
While the state might not get as much out
fitted in other ways to far greater extent
than it is benefited by the money received
under the present contract.
OF course it would be the wiser plan for
the state to sell the road, and pay its debts
A state ought to own only the property that
is necessary for conducting the state gov
eminent, hut if the road is to be leased
again, it would be advisable for the legisla
ture, before leasing it, to inquire whether il
would not be TO the states advantage tc
operate the road.

At the Chrysanthemum Show.
From the Mem YO,-L. World

There were also some specimens, never before
exhibited, of the japanese variety, shown by f.
Fewkes q Son of Newton Highlands Mass
which called forth loud encomiums of praise.
Chief among them were the Kioto, of a deep
yellow color, with incurved petals refiexing at
the outside; the Lillian B. Bird, most reinarka-
BILE specimen, but not fully developed, with a
bloom six inches in diameter of distinct shade
of shrimp pink, and having tubular petals the
Empress of Japan, n pure white bloom, with
finely incurved petals. A very curious looking
bloom in this lot was the Medusa, white in color
with very long petals resembling the tentaces
of jelyfish All the above described chrysan-
themums came to this country from Japan
Hardy Another lot of blooms that
also were much admired were from the Seeding
named Mrs. Andrew Carnegie. This flower was
originated by William Hamilton, the superiu-
tendent of parks in Allegheny City. IL is of the
Japanese variety, with petals slightly incurved
of rich blood coor inside and LrOnze outside.
This plant was awarded the special prize of a
solid silver cup donated by Mrs. Andrew
Carnegie for the best Seeding chrysanthemum
not shown prior to 1883. A seeding anemone,
named Mrs. T. F. Cane, originated by H. A.
Cane and grown and exhibited by Elijah A.
Wood of West Newton, Mass, was also much
admired. w. A. Wilbur. Bethlehem, Pa ex-

The slackburn.Rucker Incident.

] A0
/ The probabil ty of duel between Judge
/ Rucker, of Colorado, and Senator Black
burn, Of Kentucky, is suggested in a Wash
/ ington dispatch. Both are hot-blooded
men, and both are native Kentuckians.
! They were great friends until within week
or two. but now if they should meet their
hands would hardly meet in a friendly
grasp.
The cause of their changed feelings to
ward each other is a statement made by
Judge Rucker in newspaper interview.
The judge was in Washington few days
before the election, and, desiring to see the
President, requested his friend, Senator
Blackburn, TO take him to the white house
and in roiuce him. The senato IT complied
with the request. Judge Rucker had few
minutes conversation with the President.
Senator Blackburn was present and so was
Secretary of War Endcott.
After the election Judge Rucksr
stated to reporter that when
he called at the white house with
Senator Blackburn the President expressed
doubt about democratic success in New
York on account of the attitude of Gov.
Hill Mayor Hewitt and Mr. Grant, Tam
manys candidate for mayor. Judge Rucker
also stated that the President told MIN that
Hewitt was hostile to him, and would ike
to see him defeated
Senator Blackburn denied the correctness
Of Judge Fuckers statements, and Secre-
tary Endicott also statal taat he did not
hear the President say anything Of the Kind.
Judge Ruc!.er, however, reiterated his state
ments, and insiste that they were correct
Senator Blackburn replied to Judge Rucker
through the newspapers, and among other
things SAID that ne was in doubt whether he
was not dealing with paid spy Of thu re
publicans, and declared that he could do no
more than "to crave the pardon OF the
President for having been mislei into intro
ducing to him a caricature upon humanity,
for whose existence the Lord in fair dealing
owes an apology to mankind"
The impression among Judge Ruckers
friends is that he will clll Senator Black-
burn to account foc this ass.ut upol his
cha acter, ami that the senator will have
to take back his uucomplimentlry remarks
or give Rucker such satisfaction as be may
demand.
Senator Blackburn, however, does not
seem to be in the least disturbed by Judge
icker's warlile attitude. aid it is not
improbable that he does not apprehead any
further annoyance from the white
house incident. He must have been
pretty well satisfied that Judge
Rucker was mistaken about what the
President said, and it is certain that he
does not think that Judge Rucker had any
right to publish a private conversation with
the President. even though the President
made the remarks attributed to him. The
President talks very freely to those whom
he knows, and also to those who are
properly introduced to him. 1t is not
probable that Judge Rucler will soon
again give private conversation to the
newspapers.

Senator Colo uitt Reelected.

The two branches of the legislature yes
terday voted for senator and reelected
Senator Colquitt. A joint session will be
held to-day, aud yesterdays action will be
ratified.
There was no opposition to Senator Col
quit. A day or two ago an effort was
made to bring out a candidate against
him, but it was complete failure.
The talk of opposition probably interested
a few people in the hotels and
in the Hobbies of the capitol,
but that was about all that it amounted to-
Senator Colquitt does not appear to have
paid any serious attention TO it. He was
probably amused by 1t. He knew how
little substance there was to it, and, hence,
did not concern himself about it.
Senator Colquitt has made good senator,
and has the confidence of the people He
stands squarely with his party, and in the
future, as in the past, he will be found in
the front rank battling for its principles.

A Fascinating Warrior.
From the Pittsb1lrq Dispatch.


Recently a young married man of this city,
who hasa pretty taste in matters of "bigotry
and virtue" as Mrs. Malaprop would say, some.
what alarmed his wife by sending home, while
he was away on an eastern trip, a life sized
figure dressed in antique Japanese srmor Per
haps you have seen something of the sort. Tie
armor is covered with some sort of gum solu.
ton which is nearly black in color. The helmet
is furnished with visor covering half the
parchment coored face of the dummy warrior,
and this, with grnning mouth, above which q
red mustache bristles, makes up very terrific
ensemble.
However, the warrior was set up in an alcove
on the staircase, as the master OF the house
directed in his letter. Holding formidable
spear in the right hand the image of this
Japanese Hector Of antique attire truly made
an awe-inspiring sentinel on the stairs.
When the young man returned home from the
east he entered the hall unannounced and stood
for moment gazing admirably at what he had
slangiy talked of as 'hs Japanese iags."
Then he called for his wife, and she with the
2-year-old baby in her arms came tripping
downstairs. AS mother and child passed the
landing where stood the Japanese warrior the
babe held out her chubby arms and tried to
embrace the grewsome creatures head, ex-
claiming as her mother tried to make her
release her hold: my pity papa-I wan TO
'tiss him."
The true papa in the hall below watched this
proceeding with uncomfortable sensations.
When he had embraced his wife he asked her
how she liked the japanese warrior.
II don't care much for IL, John, it's so ugly,
she replied, but Ethel thinks the world OF 1t.
She called II papa directly 1t arrived, and she
been crazy to kiss IL whenever she's on the
stairs. Yesterday when young Mr.. Riggs was
here she insisted on taxing him up. stairs TO sec
her papa, aud you ought to have heard Charlie
John changed the subject at once. Charlie
Riggs won't have n chance 10 laugh with little
Ethel again. The japanese warrior Is on his
way to New York to-day.

Getting a Working Majority.

There is not much doubt that the repub-
licans will have a majority in the next
House 1t will be a very small one, how
ever. But the republicans know how to get
a good working majority.
There will doubtless be good many re-
publican contestants. That part of the
republican programme will be carefully
looked after. With a sufficient number of
Contestants there will be no great difficulty
in increasing the majority. The republi-
cans have never permitted justice and facts
to stand in their way in deciding contested
election cases when they needed the services
of republican contestants or contestees.
There are indications already that the
election of several southern democrats will
he contested. 1t has been announced that
those of Messrs. Dibble and Elliott, of South
Carolina, will be. In almost every
southern district where the vote was close.
there may be a contest on charges trumped
up for the occasion, and the republican
contestants will stand a good chance of
being seated.
There is a lesson in this for southern dem
| ocrats. 1t is, that they should poll their full
vote regardless of the probable result at the
polls. They were warned to vote in the re-
cent election, but a great many of them
failed to do so, and, in consequence, the
democratic majorities in a number of dis
tricts were small, and it may be that demo
Gratis who were fairly elected will be
unseated in order that the republicans may
get majority sufficiently large for their
purposes.

Queer System of Bookkeeping.
From the Chicd1o Journal.

LfC"t Htc NHbuUO OOUfTuts
A little man who runs a prosperous drug
store on Cottage Grove avenue has system OF
bookkeeping that is probably without dupli
cate from one end of the city to the 9th. r. II s
distinguishing trait is an inability to remember
names He has Il score of customers whom he
has traded with for years and whom he
knows by sight as well as he does his own
brother, but whose names he could not call of
TO save himself from hanging. The consequence
is that wnen three or four of these customers
have called in one evening and have made small
purchases wGich they wished chalked up. his
little book contains entries something like this:
Wan with the Black Whiskers, cigars, 25 cents
The Short-necked Man, Paregoric. 10 cents
The Handsome Man with the Gray DilldaIls
80 cents worth of Jamaica Ginger" and SO on
This is the only set of bookkeeping that the
little drag store man indul ges in. and ne says
bis debtors are all good and never let him lose
money by ii. But it would be interesting &c
know how he'd address his envelopes if any OF
ais debtors let their accounts run long enough
to necesst ite the sending out of bills.

The Houses Work was Done.


I heard the other day of a certain woman who
was not in what is called society" and who
good soul, had not ambition that way so far as
she was concerned, but she had daughter, and
he wanted that daughter to make a good
match What did she do 10 accomplish that
end: She bought her a house in a somewhat
exclusive neighbOrhood, furnished in good
style, and set about her to entertain. Hef
principal guests were men, to be sure, and
among those who came was one who had rubbed
elbows with the coaching set;" therefore he
was the most desirable. He admired the girl,
he admired her elegant home; he proposed and
was accepted
a grand wedding followed, with a wedding
breakfast and reception at the homestead. $
After the bride and BRIDEGROOM set out upon
their journey, the old slipper was carried off on
the coach top, the house was closed, and is now
for sale, and at q sacrifice. Its work is done.
and he good mother has retired to more modest
quarters ought to give the street and num-
Der of this house, for it might do as good work
for other mGmmas with marriageabe daugh-
ters; but would not like to betray the worthy
woman who devised the scheme.

Notwithstanding Florida is ,..lled the
"Land of Flowers" there aie very few
flowers in the state. In fact, nearly every
other state has more. The New Orleans
Times Democrat says: FLORIDA is called
the Land of Flowers, not because the Spanish
discoveries found any flowers there but be-
cause the discovery of the state was made
on the Pasqua Florida, the Catholic holiday
Of the flower festival. This name, however,
which has ever since stuck to the state, has
induced many persons to believe that
Florida is one immense garden: hence,
when northern tourists pour into it and find
that instead Of possessing many flower
gardens, it is more deficient in them than
any other part Of the country, they are both
astonished and disappointed" The Jack
sonville Times Union says the want of
flowers is due to the soil and to the absence
of sufficient moisture at the proper season
Of the year 1t suggests a system of irriga-
ton that might overcome the difficulty
and urges the people to improve their flower
gardens.
