HOkE SMITH WELCOMED HOME.
Atlanta Democrats Sink Differences in Gen
eral Congratulations.


era1 Congratulations.
The return of Hoke Smith. who has been Sc
lected as Mr.. Cleveland's Secretary of the In
terror. was made the occasion of love feast
last night at Atlanta. Ga, in which warning
democrats came together and swore to be mu-
tually true TO the sage of Lakewood"
Mr. Smiths advance in politics was fought
vigorously by the Atlanta Constitution. This
hostility was due in large degree to the fact
that he was the proprietor of a rival pubica-
ton. In the late campaign the Constitution
switched of toward Hill. Smith was quick to
see the gap and won.
Even after the election the Constitution
fought Mr. Smiths ambition to be a member
OF the cabinet Yesterday, however. when it
was announced that the victorious Smith was
on his way home with the plum in his pocket,
Mr.. HeInphill, the business manager of the
Constitution, proposed that democrats Of the
city do the handsome thing by giving Mr..
smith reception which should mark the
wiping out of all old lines
The proposition was taken up and when the
train arrived it found several thousand people
and a brass band present. Speeches of well
come were made. the first by Mr.. Hemphll.
In response Mr.. Smith. in the name of Cleve-
land, called upon all democrats to be a unit on
all lines of policy which the party might adopt
and not to embarrass the administration by
differences in the presence of the enemy
After several speeches by other citizens the
new Secretary was driven home, where many
personal friends had assembled.

So much complaint, has been made during the
past few days about the muddy condition of

Always at this season of the year" said the
colonel, the warm rains that fall in the upper
Potomac region disturb the surface dirt Of the
water sheds in the neighborhood OF the mouth
Of the Shenandoah. and this, being carried
down IN the Potomac, of course discolors it.
IL does not make 1t impure though, as the al
Iuvial comes from section that is sparsely
settled and therefore free of the impurities
that cover the ground of a city. To attach to
our works a great filter would entail an expense
of probably $500. 900 and yet not benefit the
city materially. No city that can recall has
ever done this and do not advocate it, The
only way to supply the people with pure-that

BOULANGlsrs TURNED DOWN.
Their Attempt to Overthrow the French
Government Unsuccessful.


Their Attempt to Overthrow the French
Government Unsuccessful.
The public galleries Of the French chamber
Of deputies were crowded yesterday with per-
sons eager to witness the attack Of the Bou-
langists upon the government. Victor Ledet,
radical opened the debate on the governments
position BY interpellating the cabinet as to
their general policy. The left. center and
conservatives, he said, had formed league to
wreck the present ministry to obtain power
and then to modify the country's present mill
tary. educational and financial policy.
NJ. Ribot reminded the deputies that upon
assuming the presidency of the council he
had asked the republicans to unite in sup
porting him. He had appealed to the soli-
darity OF the republican party that the results
already obtained by the republic be not
risked again in the balance.
Thanks to the republican union the auda-
cious attacks OF the men conducting the cam
palgn against servants of the republic had
ceased and the country awaited with confidence
the conclusion OF the Panama affair which had
been made the pretext for the attempt to over
throw republican institutions in France.
=, NOBODY in the republican majority had ever
thought OF fusion of the centers. The ma jority
would remain what it was, living. compact
iorce, upon which the government could rely
Tor the defense of republican institutions. Tho
cabinet governed for Metropolitan party as a
whole and refused to become a prisoner in the
bands of any particular group.
Deputy Deroulede, Boulsngist, said that the
Panama scandal had shown that a change OF in
situations necessary
. Deputy Dumay, socialist, argued that only
the naturalization of all industries would save
the country from destruction. Deputy Des-
chanel, republican, said that a homogeneous
cabinet was the governments greatest need.
NJ. Ribot announced that he would accept an
order for the day expressing the chambers
confidence that the ministry would maintain
and enforce impartially democratic law and
prosecute purely republican policy.
