what a fit was when l saw one had one of
the kind that l had seen. A crowd gathered
around me- heard several women say that

policeman came and made the crowd stand
back. He put his fingers in my mouth and one
of his hands in my pockets In a few minutes

rha Doubtful States.

The states which are classed as doubtful
are New York, New Jersey, Connecticut
ard Indiana. Within Ne last few days a
great many well-informed and observing
democrats from these states have been
asked if they have heard of any democrats
III their respective states leaving the demo
cratic party They have answered almost
! invariably that they have not "A few have
stated that when the Mills bill was in
troduced into the house they heard obJec-
lions to it from democrats. In New Jersey,
particularly, some of the wage-eernerS
in the factories and a few manufacturers
complained of it, but as the discussion of it
proceeded, and they began to understand it,
then opposition TO il ceased. They saw that
it would benefit rather than harm the manu-
featuring interests, and that it would not
cause a reduction in wages.
There is no doubt that the bill will do the
democratic party great deal or good,
especially in Indiana, where the farming
interests are far more important than the
manufacturing interests. In New York,
New Jersey and Connecticut it may cause
the democrats to lose a few democratic
votes, DuU III Will, bilo Sellllo biiiOS AhAN
ence a great many republicans to vote the
democratic ticket. 1t can be said, without
fear Of successful contradiction, that the
Mills bill will help the democratic party in
every doubtful state. The people are con-
WINGED that the surplus ought to be reduced,
and they would rather have it reduced by
having clothing made cheaper than by hav
irg whisky made free.
It is quite safe to say that much larger
percentage Of the labor vote will be cast
for the democratic ticket at the next cleo
ton than at any previous election for many
years One of the reasons for this state
ment is that neither Gen. Harrison nor Mr..
Morton is popular with wage-earners. The
attempt to get the workingmen of Indian
apolis to indorse Gen. Harrison was a fail
ure. They passed resolutions condemning
him Without the labor vote of Indiana
he can hardly carry that state. If the
workingmen of his own state refuse to sup
port him, what hope has he of getting the
labor vote of other states2
The outlook is that the democrats will
carry all the doubtful states. The signs all
point that way The appeals of Mr.. Blaine
to workingmen have been apparently with
out effect The workingmen are doing
their own thinking in this campaign.

The county commissioners yesterday dis
cussed the matter of extending the Bay
street road to the Augusta road. 1t was
decided to run the line Of the road in a
northwesterly direction from Musgrove
creek, and parallel with the river. This
will make the road intersect the Augusta
road at the seven-mile post, and save about
two miles travel in coming to the city. 1t
will also save the necessity for cutting
diagonally through the Jasper Spring and
other property. OF course this route will
make the new road somewhat longer, but
the road is needed and should be opened at
once. Every road that is opened, leading
into the city, is benefit 10 It.

Play DER its bosom, fancy free,

Fierce blows the gale, and mountain high
Roll raging waves, as to defy

A Tariff Reform State.
From the Houston Post Dem

FTOnl dfe HObStOn Post IDen.)
1t looks like the Georgia democrats will never
tire of indorsing tariff reform. The state con-
vention in Atlanta declared that federal taxa
ton can only DO rightly imposed to provide for
the necessary and proper purposes of the gen
eral government economically administered.
Luxuries should not be unbridled in order that
necessaries may be burdened." Georgia is
democratic state from Lookout to St Marys,
and is solid for tariff reform.

evide- every day. A great many business
men will support Mr.. Cleveland this year
who were not for him in 1884.

Congressman Fitch, of New York, is re-
ceiving many letters congratulating him
upon his remuneration of the republican
party. Among those received yesterday
was one from Mr.. Joseph G. Levi, New
York lawyer, who says: 81 was born with
the republican party and trained with its
principles all my political life, but l cannot
and will not subscribe to the hypocritical
and unsound pretence that a high tariff
helps the poor man. On the contrary, it is
ruination to him. TIE interest that the
wealthy, protected millionaire manufact-
urers are taking in the poor American
laborers and workmen in their employ is
truly onderful-reducing their wages, i'm
porting foreign cheap workmen to take
their places when discharged or refused
employment and spending large sums to
keep up a high tariff and to defeat measures
recommended by the last three republican
Presidents, while franticaily calling upon
these very workmen to vote for Harrison
and Morton and high tariff and keep out
the foreign labor which they themselves are
importing daily from Europe for their own
use" Mr.. Levi seems to understand the
practice of his former politicsl associates
pretty well.

The City's Sewage.

The county commission made an offer
to tire city authorities yes erday that is well
worth their consideration. 1t was that the
county would assist tho city in providing
the means for carrying the city's sewage to
Timber landing creek. The ACCESSIBILITY
of carrying the sewage of the city to that
| creek has heen frequently discussed, and
local sanitarians have advised that it be
done.
Bilbo canal has been source of uneasi-
ness to the city for a long time, though
there is no occasion to fear any bad effects
from it as long as it is kept in as good con-
dition as it is at present Surgeon General
Hamilton inspected it when he was here
few days ago, and he did not regard it as a
menace to the health of tie city. How
ever, there are seasons when the odor from
it is not pleasant, and there is an impression
that it is sometimes the cause of sickness.
If it can be got rid of. therefore, there is no
reason why'it should be retained as the re-
ceptacle of the city's sewage. 1t would still
continue to serve the purpose of local
drainage, however, if the city authorities
should accept the county commissioners
Timber creek proposition.
The difficulty that has heretofore pre-
sented itself whenever the plan of draining
the city's sewage into Timber creek has
boen discussed has been the cost of con-
structing the sewer. If, however, the
county is willing to do the excavating, the
city ought to be willing to do the necessary
brick work. OF course the cost to the city
would be considerable, but then the benefits
of the proposed sewer would doubtless be
very great. However, nothing can be done
toward constructing it at present Work
could not safely be begun upon it before
cold weather, but the authorities might
discuss the proposition with the view of
reaching conclusion with regard to it be-
fore the time arrives when its construction
could be begun.
