Congressman J. Caesar Burrows and
some of his friends are reported to be
fighting mad with Secretary Hol1e Smith,
because he will not allow pensions to the
baldheaded man and the man with corns;
therefore they win move at the extra
session to have him and his department
investigated. Mn. Burrows, it is under
stood, takes the view that there should be
no going behind the returns; that what
ever pensions Raum and Bussey allowed
should continue to be paid in perpetuity,
no matter how fraudulent were Raum and
Busseya actions. In the language of the
Hon Jerry Simpsons candidate for
speaker, he claims that latter a soldier
has been examined IN the legal way, and
his pension granted, the commissioner has
no right to suspend him from the rolls or
reduce his pension, or compel him to be
re-eSamincd and so through the form of
again qualifying to draw pension" The
trouble with those pensioners whose cases
have been suspended is that they were
not granted pensions in the legal way.
The baldheaded man, the man with corns.
and some thousands of others, were re
jected by the examining physicians; yet,
Notwithstanding the adverse reports.
they were put on the rolls, and many Of
them granted large sums for back
pensions. However, Secretary Smith
would be only too glad to submit to
investigation, as there would then be an
opportunity of showing the extent and
character Of the frauds practiced in

How Two Men Got Rich.

It's a funny thing" said the theatrical
manager to writer for the Buffalo Express,
that most of the comedies that have been
successes of late, or ever, so far as l know
were written under the most discouraging
circumstances. 1t seems that there are q
great many men who are made gay by mis-
fortune. L happen to know of peculiar case
OF this kind myself" He squared himself
for the story. In 1875 my father took O
theater in Philadelphia expecting to make
a big thing out of the centennial. He did no
such thing. He lost a goOd-siZed pile and
then came the fearful depression Of 1877 He
hung on and hung on like n poker player

for months that money supported the family.

were proud of me. You can't live very lux
uriously on So week, even if the family is
small, and we just managed to get along. All
this time father was trying TO get something
to do that would put him on his feet, but the
town was dead and there was nothing to do

his mind that he would write play He sat

comedy. All this time kept on trucking and
anteing up my little six every Saturday night.
When he got the play finished he called me
into his room and told me that he had always

would give me chance. | thought the old
gentleman had gone off his hooks. He said:

enough to laugh at him. He took the nlay

A Big BIN For Damages.

There is fine prospect that the
national government will have a big
claim for damages presented to it by some
of the foreign exhibitors at the world s
fair. Already claims aggregating S4O0, 600
have been prepared and it is announced
that other claims that amount to a much
larger sum are in course of preparation.
1t is expected that the government will
be called on to pay at least 81, 0O0,00
There is no doubt that exhibitors have
suffered some pretty severe losses. The
great buildings are not proof against such
storms as visit Chicago. Several times
some of them were so injured by
the wind that the rain beat in upon costly
exhibits and damaged them.
This national government is responsible
for losses sustained at the fair by foreign
exhibitors. 1t cannot be sued, but claims
will be filed against it and they will be al
lowed, if proven. The government admit
ted its responsibility for losses sustained
by foreign exhibitors at the New Orleans
fair and paid damages to the amount of
5000
1t is said that the national commission
has complained to the local directory
about the frai- character of the buildings,
but has received no satisfaction, that
body taking the ground that it had done
its utmost to make the buildings proof
against storms If the government has
to pay 81 100000 in damages or anything
like that sum the fair will be a rather
costly one for it, taking into account the
donations it has made.

Jacksonville is pleased with ballot re
form. The Australian system in the
municipal election gave satisfaction to
all parties. The chances are that it will
be embodied in a state election law by
the next legislature. The Georgia legis-
iature, which meets long before the next
Florida legislature, should take steps to
give Georgia the reform she so badly needs,
and which our neighbor has demonstrat-
ed to be a step in the right direction
Georgia should not wait for Florida to
lead her in healthful reforms

The Atlanta Constitution says the gold
olators and their tools will destroy the pros
perity of the people or even oVerturn the
government should il be necessary, to retain
their hold on the financial legislation of the
country. What rot. When the prosperity
OF the country should be destroyed and the
government overturned what would become
of the prosperity OF the goldolators and their
toolSt' Our contemporary usual mistake
is made here, of taking the average American
newspaper reader for the sort of fool woh swOl-
lows ANYTHING he sees in print without first
analy2ng ii in a solution Of common sense
The Constitution seems to think all men who
oppose the free coinage Of 60-cent silver dol
lars are traitors and dastructives; and that is
also rot, sorry rant and rot. How would it
prosper the opponents OF silver lunacy to
smash things? Does the Constitution think
all who are not Of its mind about money are
fools, as well as traitorous knavesy 1t would
seem so.

a Palpahle Error.

From the New York Word (Dem.)
With Russia approaching India from the
northwest and France pushing her frontier
from the east, the empress might feel some
cause for alarm but for her stout-hearted
sailors and soldiers. When the bluff old ad-
miral who destroyed the Spanish Armada was
summoned TO court to receive the cOngratula-
tious of Elizabeth he knew not what to say
in Trunks for the royal favor Finally his sea-
beaten face Geamed with a smile as he re-
sponded: Cad, madame, but they got the
wrong SOW by the ear eh?" If France and
Russia are after India they may make SINH
lar mistake.

interesting story comes from Columbia
with regard to this tonic The superin-

that if the stuff was whisky, liberal po-

while if it was medicine it would make
them very sick. Gov Tillman, it is I'M

have it repeated for the purpose of de

In its forthcoming review of now mill
construction during the first six months
of 1898, the Textile World will note as q
fact that the building OF both cotton and
wool manufacturing plants north and
south has fallen off as compared with the
record for the corresponding period in
1892 During the SIX months ending June
30 there were constructed in the south 9
cotton mills, wooden mills and knit
ting mills, and in the north Is cotton, 10
wooden and Il knitting mills. No new
textile mandatory was erected in Geor-
gia during that period. Alabama built
one now cotton mill, North Carolina
four, South Carolina three and Virginia
one. The new wooden mills in the south
were built in Arkansas and Virginia.
While the actual number of new mills
has fallen off, as compared with last
year, the capacity represented by the
new mills, which are generally much
larger than those of a year ago, shows
but little decrease.
