For the Constitution
If one should come and tell me that the birds
Had lost their voices that the flowers no more
Gave forth soft odors; that for lack OF dew,
The grass-blades dropped at dawntime; that the
sands
Had left the oceans bed, the shells its shore.
That frost and fruitage had congenia grown;
That snow from winter had obtained divorce
And lay in summers passionate embrace;
That the Lost Sister Of the Heiades
Had reappcared in Taurus that the sun
Had wheeled is golden chariot TO the north,
If one should come ana tell me this dear love,
! might believe him; but If one should come,
And tell INC you were ialse--whd, should stand
with folded arms and dart thru him glance
50 keenly edged WITH scomful unbcllef
That back he would recoil, like April clouds
Before the advancing sun and call upon
The mantle Of his shame " cover him

If there is anything under the sun that the
Americas young man will not bet on we are at
loss to know what it is. The latest fad how
ever, caps the climax. 1t is this: When a
each one of whom writes his guess upon card
with his name, as to the date upon which the
newly made benedict will be called upon to
trundle the matrimonial fruit basket. This
card is pat into sealed box with silver dol
lar, and when the proper time arrives the box
is opened and the cards examined, and the one
making the closest guess is entitled to all the
money therein. The game" has become quite
popular of late, and for originality beats any
thing that has ever yet been introduced by the
sporting fraternity.

The present local option law Of Georgia can
scarcely be improved upon. 1t seems to be
the only equitable solution of the great prob
lem. Should the enthusiasts and lunatics un-
dertake to push the issue further there is q
strong probability that they will undo a very
important part OF the great good that has
been accomplished by men Of more conserva-
tive minds. With such diversity of interests
it Is desirable that not only states but cities

ticable TO regulate their own nffairs

Auanta's Generous Action.
From the Macon Telegraph.


The Piedmont exposition Of last year was a
grand success. The crowds were larger than any
one in Atlanta expected, and therefore the accom-
modations were not equal to the demands OF the
occasion. But the directors and the people of At
lHnta did the best they could They deserved
credit for the magnificent display they made of the
resources Of Georgia and the south. The cotton
exposition at Atlanta in 1881 was great, but the
Piedmont exposition was greater. Flushed with
this splendid success the action Of the directors Of
the Piedmont Exposition company in giving way
this year 10 the efforts Of other Georgia cities Is
especially creditable. We are confident, however,
that this generous action of Atlanta win bring n
reward richer than could have been won even by q
repetition OF the magnificent Piedmont exposition
of last year. The generous Difference thus made TO
the claims Of Augusta, Columbus, Macon, Rome
Athens, BIledgeyille and Gainesville will be ap-
preciated by all those cities and by the people OF
the entire state. 1t was conduct worthy of Tho
capital city of the empire state Of the south.

]. P. Schmitz, the chairman of the
Fifth district Democratic congressional
committee, was last evening shown the
resolutions passed by the Otter Tail
county Democratic executive commit
tee, in which he is denounced as
traitor to his party because he is advo-
eating the nomination of Albert Schef-
fer. Mr.. Schmitz said, in reply:
II do not think that is becoming in
such men as Ed l.. Davidson, an i'm
ported Republican from Dakota, j. f.
Cowie, who never voted straight

obligations to carry out the wishes
of their constituents at the late
state convention were overcome
by the payment of hotel bills,
and railroad fare-I don't think they
are in position to call me traitor to
the party. AS far as my loyalty to the
party is concerned, would like to call
attention to the fact that in the CAM
paigns of 1884 and 1886 l spent
my time and money in working
for the interests of the party
and in advocating the election
of its candidates, and in this election |
was prepared to do the same. do not

BUFFALO, Minn., Sept. 2.-The Re-
publican county convention was called
to order at ~ o'clock yesterday, seventy
six delegates being present. After eff
fecting the temporary organization, the
convention adjourned until 1 30 p. M,
at which time a motion to elect eight
delegates to the state convention by
ballot prevailed. Although a great
deal of caucus packing had been
INDUCED in by the paid ennis
sores of Merriam, it was evident
from the start that much opposition was
disorderly one, no control being exer-
quently one-half the delegates were
claiming the floor at one time. The del
egates selected are W. w. Webster, of
Clearwater: A. Ii. Bertram, of Month
cello: D. M. Mattson, of Cokato; G. F.
Peters, of Delano; l.. V. Kyle, of Wa
verify; G. E. Oakly. of Buffalo,: j. W.

think it is about time that the govern
