Few Are Sorry.
Washington. February T-(Special)-The
great mass of the house democrats express
satisfaction and qualification at the senate's
action in rejecting Mr.. Peckham yesterday.
This does not mean that the democrats of
the house side with Mr. Hill as against Mr..
disagreement, but it does mean that the
house is opposed to Mr.. Cleveland bringing
personal resentment into his nominations
for high offices They feel that MIR. Cleve-
land has not risen to the occasion and,
therefore, they are glad that the senate re-
FUSED to confirm nominee who was not
qualified.
Satisfaction at the Result.
Even among the senators who voted for
Peckham'S confirmation there IS a feeling
of satisfaction over the result This is
1t is by both the Stalwart democrats and
republicans. Several of the senator's who
voted for Peckham did SO for personal rea-
sons, knowing that their votes were not
needed to defeat him. Had 1t been neces-
sary there We're other democratic senators
ready to reject the New Yorker.
All the straighout democrats and repub-
leans have it in for the mugwumps. The
republicans prefer a stanch democrat every
time to a man who is first thing and
then another. The republicans who voted
against Peckham did so not that they cared
any more for one democratic faction than
the other but because they believe in party
discipline.

General Rejoicing Over the Rejection
OF PeclN ,al,,'s Nomination.

When the news came that Peckham had
been turned dOWn-that his picture had been
turned to the wall as it were--there VIZ S
general rejoicing all over the city.
1t is no exagger2tion to say that there
has. not been so great interest felt in any
one single event during the present admin
istration as was felt in the fight over the
Peckham confirmation. And it is a notable
fact that a vast majority OF the people have
hoped that the senate would reject him.
Hence the rejoicing.
During the morning the telephone wires
In the newspaper Offices were kept not with
INQUIRIES concerning the fight before the
senate. 1t was late, of course, when the
senate went into executive session and il
was therefore, late when the news came
of his rejection. A few minutes before 3
o'clock a private dispatch told of the vote
and it's result. The news was quickly trans
nitted to the hundreds of inqurerS and on
the streets and III the hotel corridors moth
ing else talked of.
During the morning it was almost
impossiblity to find a man who favored
Peckham's confirmation. 1t seemed as if
all Atlanta was against him and a great

of the ca st that the second section OF the
BLAND acl is proposed. AS Mr.. Bland said.
when asked if holders Of coin notes could
not make a run on the treasury for gold
under his bill: They can do that now.
The only difference is that under this bill.
when they have once made the run and got
the gold, that will be the end Of H. They
cannot make the run over again
The second section. therefore, provides
that all the silver bullion outside the seign-
forage shall be coined and that whenever
coin note is redeemed and there are silver
dollars in the treasury to represent 1t, that
note shall be cancelled and the dollar or a
silver certificate be issued in its place The
effect of this legislation will be in time to
retire all the coin notes issued under the
Sherman law and substitute silver certifi-
ca tes redeemable, like all the silver certi1-
CO ties now outstanding, in silver dollars
only. This will relieve the gold reserve Of
tie double duty of standing sponsor for both
areenbaclls and coin notes, it being there
after fund, as it was originally, for the
redemption solely of greenbacEs.
The administration is opposed to this Sec
ton, if not both sections of the bill, and IL
NAV be vetoed, even if it passes both houses
Finbustering was reso-ted to against it's

dent of the republican club here and was
given the place over a hard working, hon

Many democratic politicians came out in
interviews condemning the appointment
and declaring it meant the loss of many
democratic votes.

in declaring the efiigy hanging an outrage,

was necessary to defeat him. Therefore,
just before the vote was taken, the senior
senator from Georgia was wheeled out of

MALARIA STAYS.
IT NEVER LEAVES THE SYSTEM UNTIL FIX
 PURGATED.

IT NEVER LEAVES THE SYSTEM UNTIL Ex-
 PURGATED.
 Should a person with any chronic ail- ment present himself for examination to a careful physician, the first thing the physician would ask is, 'Have you ever had malaria?" Should the patient an- swer yes, the physician would proceed at once to cleanse the system of the malarial poison. The after eff fleets of malaria are so diff ferent il different cases as to misead both doctor and patient as to the nature of the malaria. Any one who has ever had malaria and has only used the ordinary means of getting rid of it, will very likely be troubled with it, more or less, during the rest of life. It may resemble almost any chronic disease. Sometimes the vic. tim thinks he has consumption; some- times dyspeT sia; other times, liver com- plaint, and often nervous prostration. etc.
 The ouly certain thing to do for one who has malaria, or has ever had malaria, is to take a thorough course of Peru na. This remedy will rid the system of all malarial poison and fortify it against other attacks of this pernicious disease. Pe-ru-na is especially prompt and lasting in its effects on nalarial subjects who have taken qui- nine without permanent results. Peru na cures after everything else fails.
 An illustrated medical treatise on chronic and acute mala ria will be sent free to any address by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manufac- turing company, Columbus, O.

COMPLIMENTARY. INDEED.


 The following clipping from the Besse- mer Weekly is a deserved compliment to one of Birmingham's popular physicians, whose reputation is known throughout this and adjoining states:
 The most precious ,of physical endow- ments is health When impaired what will not the subject do or sacrifice to re- gain it?
 Nature, the great healer, is always ready with her priceless service. It needs only skillful and experienced intelligence to di- rect and aid it. Herein is the physician 's vocation and here oftlmes is the lnvalid's danger. How immeasurably important that the physician be able, be skilful, be thor oughly versed in all the intricasies of the profession, be thoroughly informed in all the modern developments in physic and surgery. Such men are few and though scarce it is always safety and prudence to seek them.
 Dr. o. T. Dozier of the Southern Medi- cal Dispensary at Birmingham is such physician. Years of the most successful practice and experience has given him a most enviable reputation and crowned his work with success. The sick and the sui fering always find in him veritabla Sa- maritan.
