The Baltimore Herald, an indie
pendent paper, says: Seriously con-
sidered, Gen. Fiske's nomination will
render New Jersey hopelessly Demo
cratic in the real contest. Tables of
ELECTORAL votes will, therefore, have
&c be changed accordingly. 1t is be-
lieved that many votes given TO St.
John in 1884 were SO disposed OF by
Republicans who believed that Mr..
Blaine wonld be elected anyhow with
ont their assistance. Whether such
votes will be similarly given away
this year is a Question that the returns
alone can answer. A decrease in the
national ProhibatOry vote may be look
ed for by those who believe 10 the ef-
fcacy of tightly-drawn party lines.

Georgia on Wheels.

The special car which is being built at
the shops of the Central railroad in Macon,
and which will contain an exhibit of Georgia
products, under the management of the
Central railroad immigration bureau, will
soon be ready to start out on its trip north
It's length will be 30 feet, and space will be
reserved at one end of it for private office,
the rest being fitted up for and filled with
articles of Georgia growth and manufact-
ure. As it speeds along through the north
ern states, it will itself attract attention by
reason of its decorations and the inscrlp-
tions upon it, but the exhibit to be shown
at the different state, district and county
fairs, if it represents in a reasonable degree
Georgia's possibilities will attract far
greater attention; and, no doubt, many peo-
pie who examine it will conclude that the
state which can show products in such
variety and perfection is the one to which
they should move.
Mr.. w. l.. GlesSner the commissioner of
immigration for the Central roads bureau
will be in charge of the exhibit, and it is
| quite certain that better selection could
not have been made Mr.. Glessner is an
Ohloan who moved to Georgia several years
ago, and who has prospered in his adopted
home, Being man of intelligence and OBJ
| servatIon, he has become familiar with and
will preach the advantages of Georgia, and
| i'll naming these advantages he will be elo-
| quently backed by the exhibit which he car
ries along with him.
Counties in the state which care to have
their resources advertised should at once
prepare pamphlets descriptive of them, and
| send them to Mr.. Glessner at Americas
and all persons having articles peculiar to
their sections, as well as manufactured ar
ticles and curiosities, are requested to send
them to the same address 10y August /.
Articles of value will be returned upon re-
| quest.
| No more important movement, in its way,
has been inaugurated in Georgia for years,
and Georgians should see to it that the
! state is properly represented.

But these symptoms often arise from other
and very different causes. In some instances

hardly distinguishable from those of alcoholic
indulgence, and more especially with those
with impure blood, or whose habits have not

her only fault has been the desire 10

Gluttony is another common cause for red
nose and cutaneous disorders Of the face. And
in this regard gluttony does not mean the eat
ing of large quantities of food, but merely of
more than the system requires. Two and a

gluttony for a young man or a young woman
who takes little or no exercise and passes the

Misdirected Courtesy.

From the NeD York Commercial Advertiser.
The story was told in this paper several
months ago of lady who gave her seat in a
street car TO Gen Sherman and received great
deal of applause from the other passengers for
her respect for age, Her example was emulated
last evening by young man, but not quite
with the same result. AS a Broadway car was
passing Chambers street q man about so years
cd entered, who was dressed in a style becom-
ing to a much younger man. There was no va
cant seat. and the man was about to grasp one
of the straps, when pale young fellow arose
and said: Take a seat sir"
NO no. " was the polite reply. Keep your
place"
You may have it, with pleasure" persisted
the young man. 'You are older than am and
can bear standing better than you can" All
the passengers cast admiring Chances at the
young hero. Not so the old man, He 6ared up
at once
Il am older than you are eh?" he said. YES,
guess am few years older But what has
that to do with it? Do you think l am an old
man! You can bear standing better than can,
can you? Well, you can't. You are an impert-
nent jackanapes, sir. ~ Here he raised his cane
as if to strike the young man, but murmur of
Indignation caused him to desist. The young
man resumed his seat with grim look and the
passengers INDUCED in general litter.

The Court House Question.

At last the new court house question has
been placed in such a shape that there is
probability that action will be taken upon
it. There has been enough talk about it.
The judges have discussed it from the
bench, grand juries have reported upon it,
and the county commissioners have con
sidered it time and time again.
There is no doubt that a new court house
is needed. The present one is wholly unequal
to the demands upon it, and totally
unsuited for the purposes for which
it is used. A backwoods settle
ment would sheer at it, and there
isn't county, just emerging from the
condition Of sod houses and log cabins, in
the energetic and progressive west that
would have it as gift. The judges are
uncomfortable in it, the lawyers are crowded
in it, the court officials are cramped in it,
and the juries are disguised with it, The
only people who appear to be happy in 1t
are the colored folks, and they are not
satisfied except when their pockets are full
of peanuts and they are so absorbed in the
proceedings as to forget where they are
The time has come for new court house,
The city has grown greatly within the last
few years, and will continue to grow. Bet
ter buildings are being erected, and the
courthouse looks shabby in comparison
with them When the new hotel and the
new public building are finished the court
house will be even more out Of harmony
with its surroundings.
The county can afford new court house.
The amount of bonds that it is proposed to
issue to build it is only 500, 900, and the in
terest on that sum will not be a very heavy
burden. Before the bonds become due the
county will be so much richer than it is
now that it will regard them as only
trife.
A new court house will help both the
city and the county. 1t viii help create
the impression that the city is full of life,
vigor and business, and this impression
will encourage the investment Of capital in
new enterprises. ludeod, it is safe to say
that the help that new court house will
render in building up the city and the
county will be worth to property owners
more than the amount of the bonds that it
is proposed to issue in its behalf.
There is not much doubt that the county
will vote the necessary bonds. If the reports
of the grand juries on the court house
question are any indication of the con
dition of public sentiment with regard to
the matter the people are about unanimous
in favor of a new court house.
