L. there single particle of blood poison
In your veins? Beware! Like the de.

leaves only destruction in its track.
Poison in the blood is due sometimes to
contagion. Sometimes it is inherited. Il
ruins health, no matter from which source
it springs. 1t feeds in horrible manner
on the flesh, and devastates every organ
of the body. Pitisble in the extreme

NEGRO EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.
A meeting was recently held in
Boston for the purpose of obtaining
money to maintain Atlanta Universe
ty, which is devoted to the educa-
ton of negroes. There were pres
emit many prominent citizens of Bos.
ton. The Rev. Horace Bumstead,
president of the university, SAID that
st was useless to contribute money
to carry on the primary educational
work, as that is being done by the
States themselves. The North must
aid in supplementing this primary
education, so that the colored young
people may become qualified to act
as teachers, farmers, mechanics and
successful business and professional
men. 1t is important that the nor
NAL and industrial work should be
extended One-half of the needed
income of $4,000 annually is as
sured, but the remainder must be
supplied from annual contributions.
The Rev. Mr.. Bumstead talks as if
the negroes of the South didn't
have the same opportunities of es
tablishing universities as the white
people of Georgia; many of them are
wealthy, most of them are able
bodied, and we can't see why any
body should contribute to the main
ta1nance of institutions for them.

no favor with attorneys. But . case
that can not bear the light of day has
no business in court. Temporary sup.
preston may DO necessary to further
the ends of justice, in certain class of
cases, and such are provided for in the
bill. The bill proposes to add to the
end of section 7244 of Howell's Ammo
tated Statutes the following: "And all
papers fled in any court in connection
with or a. part Of any suit or action
shall become the property of the court,
and shall remain IN the custody Of the
proper officer Of the court; shall be
open to inspection as public documents.
and the same rules shall apply to the
publication of such papers as applies to
the publication of proceedings in open
court, except in cases where capias is
sworn out or where it is necessary to
get service in attachment cases, in
which cases the papers may not
be made public until the arrest or
tho service contemplated shall have
been made" So it will be seen that all

for. Tho press of the State 10 interested

objects to star-chsmber proceedings in

section to which the proposed amend
ment is to be added provides that the

II viii be gratifying news TO Ali law
abiding citizens TO read this morning
that the government of this city has
reverted into the hands OF the constl-
tated authorities. For eleven days .
feeling OF disquiet and uncertainty has
prevailed. The peace and good order
OF the city have been not only violated,
but private property has been destroyed
and the lives OF innocent persons have
been impesiled by riotous outbreaks.
The mob usurped the city and babe de-
fianee TO the laws. The executive and
public prosecutors stood irresolute.
The courts bowed In Difference to the
elsmor OF the lawless and the machin-
cry of justice was paralyzed. Never
was a city so completely At the mercy
of irresponsible, ignorant and impetu-
Gus malcontents. officials high
in place forgot their duty while cring-
ing in abject fear that political popu-
larity might suffer before hooters,
p.lferers and would-be murderers. II
required the deadly missile OF an in
famed enthusiast and the voice of
public Indignation 20 arouse the author
ties TO assert the dignity of the law. 1t
is indeed cause for congratulation
that a halt has been called.
A pesceable citizen engaged in law
full occupation was assaulted on the
public streets by y man identified be-
yond question as . striking street rail-
way employee. The injuries inflicted
were well nigh fatal, ard no sentiment
should intervene between the guilty
man and punishment. IL he shall be
proved guilty, the fact that he is or was
a striker should not mitigate his crime.
Strikers have no rights superior to other
persons; If they violate the law whereby
not only men, but women and children
are exposed to danger they should re-
ceiye the same chastisement as would
be administered TO others under like
circumstances.
The law IN this country 10 yet
supreme. In its observance lies the
safety of al citizens. Neither strikers,
nor anyone else, would have its protec-
ton denied them. II will be enforced
with as much rigor now a. ever.

people they shall not.

can or striker. The merits of the pres
ent controversy between the company

OUTSIDE RATING.

The Macon Telegraph of course com.
mends the Miner plan of wiping out all
the influence Of a Northern Republican
State, seeing only its partisan signifi-
canoe. OF that it frankly says: "The
law is, of course, . party measure. The
Democrats are incontrol of all branches
OF MIchigan's Government for the first
time in many years, and they have
taken advantage of the opportunity to
make their voices potent in the choice
of President" While it remains to
the sycophantic Democratic sheets in
this State to indulge in fatu!ent twad-
die about bringing the election of
President nearer to the people," pa
pers outside of Michigan are rating the
Democracy of Michigan at it's true
vaiue--if 1t isn't an anomaly to use the
word value in such connection
and they attribute every move of that
party TO the lowest of partisan pur-
poses. The Democracy confesses its
weakness in the State, IN Its every
move. IL knows that the people realize
their mistake of last fall and are only
awaiting an opportunity to retrieve
themselves. Ii cannot trust the people
in 1892 and il seeks to fasten upon them
Democratic tyranny which they are
ready to repudiate. With this end in
view. every apportionmen. bill has been
framed, except so far as the influence
of the Patrons was exertcd on the Con-
gresioual bill. With this end IN view
the Miner electoral bill was conceived
and passed. No other State Legisla-
turs shows any disposition to rake up
the old, disused and very questionable
method of election of electors by dis
tricts. and the Michigan "squawbucks'
are likely to have the sole honor Of re-
wing the plan, the incongruity and in
consistency of which were 90 ably shown
