J,ourn.

Our consul at Liverpool has made a
report to the state department on the pave
ments, street car system and workingmen's
dwellings of that city, which furnishes a
practical object lesson for men of capital and
philanthropy. Liverpool is the most densely
populated city in Great Britain, having an
area of 500 acres, with a population
close upon 100000, or lis peo-
pie to the acre. The Liver
pool corporation has cleared away great
masses of buildings and reconstructed
houses for artisans. The houses are fitted
with the latest improvements, and are
rented at "a cents per month for each room.
One Of these buildings contains Gil rooms,
and covers 1924 superficial yards besides
5,27l in approaches AMI the quadrangle.
The structure Is five stories high, aud cost.
with land, S350,000. The return in rental
is estimated at AZ per cent, after all ex-
penses are deducted, and, with balance
(which, if capitalized on a So per cent. basis.
will represent the full market value of the
SITE"
OF course, it is not within the power of
our municipal corporations to undertake a
work Of this kind, but there is nothing to
prevent private individuals from doing it.
According to our consul the highest sani-
tary standard has been attained by this
system of buildings, and the death rate In
the city has bsen materially reduced The
experiment is worth trying in this country,
particularly if it promises to be a benefit to
health end the poorer classes in our cities.

The indications are that the prohibitionists
will have good deal of influence in the
next legislature in this state Alliancemen
will be in the majority, and it is safe to say
that the prohibition sentiment among them
will be strong. 1t will not take much urging,
in all probability, to induce them to pass
general prohibition law. The statement
is going the rounds of the weekly press that
law will be asked for prohibiting the
selling of whisky in quantities less than one
quart The statement is also made that
5000 copies of petition are being circu-
lated asking for a law of this kind, and that
nearly all the ministers of the state are
urging their congregations to sign the
petition.
The next legislature will differ from its
predecessors in important particulars. 1t will
be composed largely of farmers, who, know
ing from experience the demoralizing influ-
ence which whisky has upon farm hands.
will be apt to view with friendly eye any
measure that has for its object the limiting
of the whisky business.
Local option has worked we'll in Georgia
and it is a question whether it wouldn't be
advisable to depend upon it rather than
upon general law for the suppression of
the whisky evil. 1t is about impossible to
| suppress dram shops in communities in
which public sentiment is not strongly
in favor of their suppression. By the local
option method public sentiment supports the
law, and that is the reason that method is
effective. II a general law could be en-
forced there would be strong reasons for
enacting such law. Experience. however,
shows that 1t cannot be enforced in COM
lnunities in which the majority Of ths
people are not strongly In favor of it, and
the evils which result from a general law
that is not enforced are greater than those
which result from free whisky.

a Very Odd Girl.

From the Sunday Scoool Times.
In school she ranks just above her mates
And wins the highest prizes;
She bounds correctly all the states.
And tells what each ones size is;
In class she will not prompt friend,
For she does not believe in telling;
She needs the rules from end to end,
And never fails in spelling.
She's just as odd as odd can be,
Say all the school of Esther Lee.
She Ike ps her room as neat as wax,
And laughs at Peters mockings;
She mends Priscilla's gloves and sacques
And darns the family stockings;
She dus,s the sitting-room for Kate,
She cares for baby brother;
She fashions balls and kites for Nate
And runs for tired mother
She's just as odd as odd can be-
Say all at home of Esther Lee.
For little crippled Mary Belts
She saves her bright est pennies;
She never, never sulks and frets
If she doesn't beat at tennis;
With happy words she's sure TO greet
Children in lowly byweys;
She guides unsteady, aged feet
Across the bustling highways.
She's just as odd as odd can be-"
Says all the town of Esther Lee.

Georgia's Delegation in Congress.


From present indications Georgia's dele
CATION in the next House will contain ONLY
four of the members of the present delega-
ton. They are Representatives Lester,
Turner, Crisp and Blount. These four,
with six new men, will constitute the dele
CATION unless an apportionpent bill is passed
before the congressional election. In that
event Georgia NAV get another member.
Represent tive Turner has been renomi-
mated and Representative Crisp is sure to
be. There is no reason now to doubt that
Representative Lester will be returned, and
Representative Blount's chances for going
back are excellent Representative Grimes
has been defeated and Representatives
Stewart and Clements have withdrawn.
Representative Barnes is certain to be de-
feated, and new men will succeed Repre-
sentatives Carlton and Gambler.
1t is question whether Georgia will not
have occasion to regret such a wholesale
change in her delegation in the House. 1t
takes new member a good while to reach
a point where he is of much service TO his
constituents. However. the indications are
that Georgie's delegation in the next House
will be pretty strong one.

Had the Wrong Tin
, send me my Derby coal"

please send me my Derby coal"
There is an estimable lady of st. Paul, says
the Pionee1'Press, who, about Oct. /. will send
some such message to another estimable-the
latter gentleman not altogether unacquainted
with the price of fuel This is how it happened:
The lady was among the club house contin-
gent in attendance upon yesterdays Derby, and
was conversing with and mildly chafI'~g the
gentleman upon what he didn't know about
picking winners. Piqued trihe by this bad-
mage, the gentleman finally said:
We'll, maybe you think don't know any,
thing about horses, but I'll bet you Robespierre
wins the Derby just the same"
Where he got the tip heaven only knows.
but it d dn't impress his fair quzzer any, for
she said
IF you mean that I'll make you PROPOSE
ton"
of course mean 1t, y said the gentleman.
We'll, then, if Robespierre wins I'll paw Won
Sl6 ton for my coal next winter If he doesn t
you will send ME my coal for nothing"
Done" said the gentleman. and done it is
for needless TO say Robespierre was not in it.

Is Bullock q Can didate ?

That is surprising rumor that comes
from Atlanta-the rumor that ex-Gov.
Bullock thinks of becoming candidate for
congress in the Fifth district with the hope
of defeating Col. Livingston. Does it mean
that Atlanta is not very friendly to Col.
Livingston, and will support republican
In preference TO him, or is Col. Livingston
being threatened with Bullock's opposition
with the view of forcing him to
play a part in a political game
that may not be at all to
his liking! II is certain that Col Livings-
ton will receive the democratic nom
nation, and that he will be elected
unless a large number of democrats
support a republican. At the last
congressional election the democratic
majority in the Fifth district was more
than 5000 in a total vote of about Is 900.
Ex-Gov. Bullock therefore, wouldn't stand
any chance of being elected without demo-
cratic help. There is no probability,
therefore, of his being candidate,
unless he has assurances that he will
receive a very hearty support in Atlanta
The republicans who manage the repub-
hcan machine in this state haven't much
use for him, but they would assist him,
doubtless, If there was any chancs of elect
ing him. They would have to know before
hand, however, that there was a chance.
Viewed from any point the rumor that puts
the ex-governor in the congressional race is
an interesting one. Win it be confirmed?

"This is Senate, Senate of equals, of
men of Individual honor and personal char
acter, and of absolute independence" wrote
Daniel Webster in his reply to Hayne.
1--WE know no masters; we acknowledge no
dictators. This is nall for mutual consul
tation and discussion, not an arena for the
exhibition of champions" This absolute
independence of which Webster speaks ap-
pears to be only a tradition now so far as
the House is concerned. A dictator rules
there with firm hand, and gag rule has
taken the place of mutual cons altation and
discussion.

Congress a Nine Months Wonder.

Congress is beginning to be nine months
wonder. This is the ninth m onth of the pres
ent session. and the end is not yet. Legislation
has been rushed through with hip, zip
and a hdrrah, but when, in the language of
the song, "You come to think Of it." very
little real legislatiug has been done. In fact,
some of the most important measures still
hang fire, or have not been acted
upon at all The Original Package bill
seems to be between the devil and the deep
sea, that is, the conference committees of
the two houses cannot agree upon it, and
neither one is inclined to give in. The Pure
Food bills and numerous other measures
affecting the direct interests of the people
have been neglected for partisan
measures Most of the time has
been spent in discussing these, and
great deal more time is likely to be devot-
ed to them.
When the WHO'S situation is viewed, not
from the standpoint of a partisan, but from
that Of an unprejudiced citizen interested
in the welfare of the country, it must ba
admitted that this congress has legislated
against, rather than for the people. About
the best service it eau reuder the country
now is to pass the river and harbor bill aud
the necessary appropriation bills and ad-
