Washington is making regular circus of
roaring "Joe" Cannon. They are having
great heaps Of fun with the old man. Ac-
cording to recent dispatch one Of the
Washington newspapers lately presented
on its leading page cartoon that has set the
whole town to laughing at the expense of
Illinois Joe. AS chairman of the House COM
mittee on appropriations Mr.. Cannon has in
sisted that the appropriation for the i'm
provement and maintenance of the zoologi-
cal park in the suburbs of Washington shall
be accompanied by the requirement usual in
all appropriations for public improvements
in the district that one-half of the amount
shall be paid out'of the revenues of the dis
trict. In this matter the House followed
him, and the district people are trying to
persuade the Senate to saddle the entire ex-
penses of the zoo on the national treasury.
In the cartoon MIR. Cannon is represented as
an Italian with organ and monkey on his
back. His hat is cooked on the back Of his
head so as to show more clearly an exag-
geration of his familiar features, and big
ring hangs from each ear. Being left
handed. his big right hand grasps the dis
tricr by the arm and his left hand is held
threateningly above, while "Padrone Gull
seppe Canoni'' exclaims: Comma da mum
to feeda da monk or cubta da troat." The
district is represented by a lusty small boy
with the coveted com in each hand, patch
upon the seat Of his trousers labeled 'The
ten miles square," screaming with fear as
he turns bis tear-stained face toward his
assailant,

Not to be Trif1ed With.

To receive any information as to the coming
and going of trains at railroad depots in this
city, from the blue-coated officials who loiter
around the gates, is quite a difficult matter as
was illustrated in an incident that took place
the other evening, says the Philadelphia In
qnirer A bustling lady, possessing face de-
noting the aggressiveness of a Susan Nipper,
entered one Of the depots at about p. m. There
were four trains getting up steam and she
her to her destination. At last she hustled up
to one of the uniformed officials and asked:
(Which train should l take for Chestnut
Hills"
He needed her far less than the mountain
heeds the mouse. She next asked the informa-
ton of one OF the blue-coats distinguished by a
badge upon his cap.
Which of these trains shall take for Chest
nut Hill?"
AS she asked her question a second time, a
bolt of lightning shot from her eyes. The man
seemed disturbed and wagged his thumb over
his shoulder. So she scaled near platform, but
just as the feat was accomplished the man MUIR
INJURED:
That train goes through Chestnut Hill, but
1t don't stop there"
Young man, said the lady, "I have a ticket
for Chestnut Hill; it is bought and paid for,
and, with the Lords help, mean to get there
before tea time"
So saying. she bounced in the car and glared
through the window at the official with q stare
that would have turned one of Nine. farley g
wax figures into flesh, much less railroad
man, especially this one who instantly melted
and fastened to put the Nipper on the right car.

The Sunday Question.

There appears to be probability that the
council win get into a wrangle over the
Sunday closing question that will not result
in way that will be generally satisfactory
to the public No doubt tn ere are those
who would like to see the question SO loaded
with difficulties of one sort and another
that the community would become dis
gusted with the Sunday closing movement
and become Indifferent with regard to 1t.
Thare is one thing about which the whole
community is agreed. 1t is that the bar
rooms shall be closed on Sundays, aud
closed tight. The back doors as well as the
front doors must be closed.
If the council repeals the present Sunday
closing ordinance, and passes one closing
the barrooms, it will be sure of doing just
what the public wants done.
Why not, therefore, adopt an ordinance
closing the barrooms on Sundays and then
await developmentsa If there comes a de-
mand for the closing of other places, or if it
appears that the cause of good morals and
law and order will be served by the clos
ing Of other places, then let the Sunday
ordinance be amended in accordance with
the demand. or with what appears to be
necessary for the public good.
1t is admitted that open barrooms on Sun
days are an evil. Abate that evil, and as
other evils become apparent abate them.
An effort to do too much just now may re-
suit in defeating the effort to put an end to
the great evil.

Georgia and the Exposition.

Georgia will not be represented at the
worlds fair at Chicago unless the railroads,
agricultural societies and cities of the state
prepare an exhibit The legislature cannot
make an appropriation for an exhibit. The
state constitution does not permit money to
be appropriated for any such purpose.
The framers OF the constitution, doubtless,
did not take into consideration the fact that
occasions might arise when it would be
greatly 10 the states interests to spend
money TO advertise her resources. Their
only thought was to prevent extravaganza
and keep down taxation. They aimed 10
get the state out of debt and keep her out.
1t is apparent, however, that in their zeal to
prevent the states debt from being increased
they placed too great restrictions upon the
legislature in the matter Of making appro-
priations.
The state could spend $780, or more
very profitably in making an exhibit Of her
resources at the worlds fair About all the
other states will have exhibits there, amd
some Of them will appropriate large sums
Of money for that purpose. A number have
already done so. Aud nearly all the south
ern states have indicated a purpose TO make
a splendid showing Of their sources of
wealth.
Although the Empire state of the south
and one that is rich in everything that
makes a great state, Georgia will make
poorer showing at the fair than any other
southern state. Her people were virtually
ashamed Of the exhibit she made at the
worlds fair at New Orleans. It was far
below what she was capable of making, and
it gave very poor impression to the visit
ors there.
Gov. Northen says that he intends to do
what he can to have the state well repre-
sented at the Chicago fair, and he will meet,
doubtless, with fair share of success, be-
cause Georgians have a great deal of state
pride, but though his efforts should be very
generously seconded the result that would
be accomplished would not do the state full
credit With ample means an exhibit
could be made that would be worth millions
Of dollars to the state. Georgia has facto-
ries, farms and mines that compare favora-
bly, with those Of any other state, and her
posperity would be greatly increased if the
world should be made acquainted with her
resources.

An Interesting souebble.

The progress Of the quarrel among the
leaders of the alliance Of this state is being
watched with considerable interest. In its
last issue the Southern Alliance Farmer
devoted the greater part of its first page
and its editorial page to Gov. Northen and
those who were present at what is known as
the Executive mansion caucus.n The
Alliance Monthly. which seems to speak
for the alliance leaders who attended that
caucus, has a great deal 70 say about Col
Livingston, the president Of the alliance.
If what the Monthly says is correct. it has
not been very long since the editor Of the
Southern Alliance Farmer said some very
uncomplimentGry things about Col Iiv-
ingston, whom it now defends with such
vigor and earnestness.
But before the quarrel proceeds any fur
ther would It not be well for the Southern
Alliance Farmer to tell alliancemen " hom
it had in view when it said, couple Of
weeks or 80 ago. that there were certain
alliance leaders who had been trying TO use
the alliance to advance their own selfish
purposes. That information is what alli-
ancemen want and have been waiting for
with considerable patience. II it will fur
nish it the quarrel among the alliance lead
ers may be much easier TO settle.
And the Southern Alliance Farmer is in
duty bound to give this information-that
is, if it was sincere when it said that it
aimed at only the good Of the alliarce and
was not run in the interest Of any man or
set of men.
AT present the position OF the governor
and his friends appears to be the better one,
because IL does not seem that they are the
ones who have attempted to use the alliance
for selfish purposes. II they were the ones
the Southern Alliance Farmer was aiming
at when it threatened to expose demagogi-
cal practices Of certain of the alliance lead
ers 1t would have given their names long
ago. Even by the admission of their enc
mics. therefore. their course has been above
adverse criticism.

Street and Lane DISTINCTIONS.

Alderman Bailey is undoubtedly right in
the position which he takes relative to the
placing Of obstacles in the streets and lanes.
The stairway in Broughton street lane, to
which the attention of the council was
called on Wednesday night by the report of
the street and lane committee, was erected
in violation of the ordinance against such
obstructions, and If it is permitted TO re-
main it will be precedent for the erection
of other and more Objectionable obstruc-
tions.
There are such distractions in many of
the street, and the councils by purchase is
trying to get rid of them. In some in
stances they cannot be removed at all, be-
cause the owners Of the properties to which
they are attached, having acquired a right
by years Of undisturbed possession, will not
YIELD 1t. When these obstructions were
erected they were not thought to be serious
encroachments on the streets, but they are
known to be now. and they greatly inter-
fore with the free use of the streets. If the
city were TO pay enough it might obtain
permission to remove them. Some have
been removed, but at a very considerable
oOst 10 Cne Guy.
The Broughton street lane obstruction
may not interfere with travel in the lane
this year or next, but it may at some time,
and then the city will be asked, perhaps, to
pay large sum to have it removed.
The right course to pursue, as Alderman
Bailey says, and the only one that has the
support of sound judgment. is to enforce
the ordinance. If the council lets down
the bars in one instance, it will be overrun
with applications to let them down in other
instances.
The interests of the city, not the wishes
OF individuals, should be considered. 1t is
safe to say that If the Broughton street lane
obstruction is allowed to remain the council
will have abundant cause TO regret its &C
tion.

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes Of tsp-
perature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing too
soon. It is better 70 suffer little inconvenepcs
than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable TO con-
tract bad cold or chill at this season of tbs
year.
A cough or cold contracted between the 60,
sons is the most annoying kind, and may las.
through the summer
II you feel cough or cold coming on, take
drink Of pure whiskey az once. It will keep the
blood in circulation and is the best preventive
against the disease Of the season.
Remember that only pare whiskey should Ia
taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has tba
strongest recommendations from the leadinS
scientists and medical men. 1t is the oni5
standard medicinal whiskey. Take no othe,
from your druggist or grocer.

her and exhibiting letters purporting to be

Suspension from the church was altogether
too mild a punishment for the offense he is
guilty of. Subsequent differences with the

OF his despioable conduct What he de-
serves Is the sound drubbing that the

Peace beginning to be.
Deep as the sleep Of the sea,
When the stars their faces glass
In its blue tranquility,
Hearts Of men upon earth,
From the first TO the second birth.
To rest as the wild waters rest
With the colors OF heaven on their breast,
Love, which is sunlight of peace,
Age by age TO increase
I'LL anger and hate are dead.
And sorrow and death shall cease,
Peace on earth and good will.
Nice natures scorn the kinship, think that
Christ
Knew also these. and measured these, and
made
His daily sojourn midst them, aud was swift
To succor them and cheer and bore with them,
Never once holding any lowly soul.
Less dear to heaven than high and sanity souls
Never conceding once that one stray sheep,
Lean, foul and ieeceless in the thorns OF sin,
Should die unfolded for the safe iock's sake.
