NOTES EO2 POLITICIANS.

The republican spoils-mongering
politicians of the south are getting
together to pick out the new federal
Judges for their section. No one doubts
that President Harrison will select the
entire nine from his own party. There
has not been another president in
thirty years who would have been
capable of such an act of bigoted and
scandalous partisanship.- Y. World
--''If they have done nothing else, !"
says Mckinley, speaking of Reeds
rulings. they have made the majority
responsible to the people for the legis-
lation it passes And when Mr.. Nc
kinley from the gallery looks over
the new congress and sees two hun
dred and forty democrats and only
eighty-nine republicans, will he not
wish his party hadn't taken quite so
much responsi sibility?-Boston Globe.
Maj Mckinley told his hearers
at Worcester the other night that all
revenue needed for the maintenanc ce of
the government must be raised by
some sort of taxation at home. You
cannot tax any other nation in the
world" he said. "a tax gatherer can
not reach the property of the citizen of
any other country in the world. The
foreigner is absolutely exempt from
every civil and military obligation Of
our government" But we have been
told by the apostles of McKinleyism
that the foreigners pay all the duties
for the privilege of sharing our market
Even Mckinley himself in that same
speech declared this to be a fact. If
we cannot reach the foreigner, then we
must pay from our own pockets. The
tariff is tax upon Americans by Nc
Kinley's own admission. Boston Re

A DOLL FROM PARIS.

Once there was sweet oll-lady,
Came from Paris DER the sea,
Wore cloak of finest satin,
Ostrich plumes her velvet hat in,
And a gown all 'broidery.
All. her manners were SO charmingi
She could sing, and curtsy low,
Walk and dance a minUet-
Sweetest doll you ever met,
You'd have surely said, I know.
But alas, this sweet doll lady
Came to visit small Miss Rose!
First she lost her golden tresses,
Then she lost her lovely dresses,
Then she lost her eyes and nose.
She was soon a helpless cripple;
She.was never put to bed,
Could not sing she was so jaded-
All her WaXen roses faded,
And at last she lost her head.
- What this pretty sweet dO1i-lady
Must have thought, is plain to me,
Just before her execution

Had arisen this side the sea.

Dependency in the G. o. z. over Its Pet
Presidential Candidate.
Two months ago almost any repub-
lican not holding federal office, if asked
to name the next nominee of his party,
would have answered ''Blaine" without
hesitation, and almost any democrat
would have agreed with him; but in the
interim there has been change, the ef
fects of which are becoming distinctly
visible 1t is not a change against Mr..
Blaine. for nearly all republicans look
upon him as the one prominent pub
lie man they have who does not belong
to the past. 1t is a sort of despair of
him as an impossibility. The depression
which usually follows party defeat de-
veloped among republicans everywhere
after last November into enthusiasm
for Blame. This is rapidly changing to
apathy as the feeling grows that Mr..
Blaine is allowing his fortunes and the
fortunes of the party to be inextricably
involved with the record made by Mr..
Harrison and with that gentleman S as
piratiOns for a second term.
The result is greater republican de-
spondency now than was observable
after the November defeat, the force of
Wnlch was broken Tor repuDllcanS Dy
their confidence that with Blaine's
leadership they could retrieve them
selves. 1t is very evident that Mr..
Blaine has been greatly hampered by
this spontaneous and almost unanimous
expression of party confidence. 1t must
have greatly exaggerated Mr.. Har-
risons antagonism for him. At any
rate there is a growing belief that his
position under the Harrison admins
tration, which he cannot abandon,
gives Mr.. Harrison an advantage over
him which cannot be overcome even by
the will of the party.
1t does not follow that Mr.. Harrison
will be renominated. The party is not
with him, but merely negative opposi-
ton will not count against the great in
tiuence of the federal office-holders.
Unless the opposition unites on a can
didate Mr.. Harrison will control the
convention, and the feeling is growing
among republicans that Mr.. Blaine is
in a position where they cannot have
the advantage of his leadership.-St
Louis Republic.

NOT ASHE WOULD IT

Maj. Ryals spent yesterday at home and
returned to Atlanta last night. The major
seems to be enjoying legislative work, and
says he is fortified to stay in Atlanta until
Christmas if the rest of the legislature
wished it. There are no signs of an ed-
tournament yet.
Maj. Rysls is very much interested in the
congressional reapportionment bill, and
is not altogether satisfied with the
spportionmenta as made for the First district
He was very much afraid that Mcintosh
would be placed in the Brunswick district.
but now that the Altamaha river has been
made the boundary line between the First
and the Eleventh districts he is glad to
have Mcintosh secured to the First. He
believes the people Of Mcintosh prefer to be
N the same district with Savannah rather
than Brunswick, and that their sympathies
and interests lie more with Savannah than
with Brunswick
Savannah was accorded little recognition
on the congressional reapportionment COM
mlttee. When the committee was ap-
pointed 10 the House of one member from
each district, Mr. Dunwoody CT Glynu was
appointed to represent the First district.
When the committee was afterward in
creased to three members from each district
two other members were added from this
district, neither OF them being from Chat
ham county. When the Senate COM
nittee on reapportionment was appointed
Mr. Lamb, a Brunswick man, was selected.
Savannah was given no consideration in
the matter, apparently. Consequently the
wishes of Savannah on the subject

county, which preferred TO remain in the
Tenth (Augusta) district, was placed in the
First, while johnson, Laureus and Mont
geometry, which preferred to be in the
First, were placed in the Eleventh, the new
district. The business relations Of these
counties with Savannah are very
close, and it was desired that they
should remain in this district. However
The question Is not finally settled and may
be arranged TO the satisfaction of every body

RECTOR BUSH CAPTURED.

The Assailant of Mrs. Mahan Caught
Near Southover Junction.
Hector Bush, alias Ed Singleton, a notori-
Gus negro character, was arrested by Ofioer
George Bossell yesterday afternoon.
Bush is the negro who attempted a crimi-
nal assault upon Mrs. Mahan, an elderly
woman living at 2451S Bay street, about
three weeks ago. Bush, who was wells
known In the neighhorhood, entered the
basement Of the house where Mrs. Mahan
was. He did not seem to be after anything
particular, and she sent him on an errand
after some beer aud other things. When
be came back with thu beer he hung
around and was ordered off by Mrs. Mahau,
| when he made the assault upon her. An
alarm was given by Mrs. Mahan's little
| boy, but the negro escaped.
Officer Bossell found Bush out in the
country, about half a mile west of South
over Junction, gambling in a crowd of
about 200 other negroes. The arrest was
made without difficulty, Bush making no
resistance.
Some Of the negroes IN the crowd seemed
inclined to rescue the prisoner from the
| officer but were advised against it by 9TH
ers. Bush was placed in the barracks and
will be before Mayor McDonough this
morning.
Officer Bossell has made quite record in
the arrest of notorious characters during
his connection with the police force, having
arrested several recently, and does consid-

DRUGGISTS l1usN,r DRINK.
II They Do 1t Must Not Be Intoxicating
LIQUORS

II They Do 1t Must Not Be Intoxicating
Liquors.
The bill recently passed by the legislature
TO prevent druggists who may become 10
toxicSted from pursuing their profession in
Georgia, is causing considerable talk among
the druggists in Savannah. A good many
think the bill a wise measure, while others
say there is no necessity for i6.
Section ! OF the bill provides that no
prescription CLERK in a drug establishment
shall be allowed to fll a prescription who
may become drunk from the use Of intoxi-
eating liquor or opiates while offering pro-
fessional services to the public A violation
is made a misdemeanor, and the druggist
upon conviction shall be fined not less than
$500 nor more than 300 aud shall be liable
for all damages TO patients or customers
while pracuclgg his profession or calling
while under the influence of intoxicants.
Upon the second conviction of drunkenness
be shall also forever forfeit his license or the
privilege under the laws Of Georgia to fill
prescriptions
Whenever prescription clerk in drug
establishment shall have forfeited his license
70 practice he may, by proof of reformation
made before the ordinary of the county in
which he resides, by evidence of not less
than i've Of the most upright citizens of the
county, and that this reformation has lasted
at least two years, be allowed to re-register
and be restored to all the privileges under
the laws of Georgia; but should he again be
found guilty Of a similar offense he shall
be forever barred from practice.
1T is one of the best measures that the
present legislature has passed, said a we'll
known druggist yesterday. II am sorry to
say that there is need for its operation in
Savannah. The tendency toward intoxica-
ton among druggists seems to have grown
considerably in the last few years,
and it Is well that the state has
taken hand to cure the evil, because it
may be the means of preventing fatal &C
cidents to patients in the future. IL would
be found on close investigation that many
of these accidents which have occurred in
| the past could be traced directly to the use
OF intoxicants among the druggists.
| Just imagine a man." continued the
| druggist, with a brain aud intellect stu
peied with liquor filling a prescription,
which may contain among its ingredients
certain pOisons, the slightest adding to or
| deducting from which might result fatally
to a patient. 1t is all right for
some people to say that the legislature
shouldn't any more interfere with the
actions Of druggists than any other pro-
fession, but when one stops for a moment
to think of the Importance of having men
Of steady habits 81 make up the medicines
which are to relieve human suffering he will
see that the bill is not only a wlse but just
measure
