Herr Philip Fahrbach, the we'll known
Austrian composer of popular dance
music, has just died in Vienna.
Nothing, it is said, gives Comptroller
Eckels so much enjoyment as the reading
of financial books full of dry statistics.
Mrs Martha Strickland, lawyer of
Detroit, is lecturing on parliamentary
law to parlor glasses of women in Chi
cage.
The announcement that Rev. DR.. Philip
S. Moxom of Boston has been called to a
Congregational church in Springfield,
Mass, was premature.
jacques Maillet, the eminent French
sculptor, to whom was intrusted the
restoration of the Vendome Column, has

Lieutenant General| Peter Frederick

tate of Tybierggaard, on the island of

The Athens CORRESPONDENT of The Lon
don Standard says that DR.. Dorpfeld, the
principal of the German institute at that
capital, is continuing his excavations on
the southwest side of the Acropolis, his
object being, among other things, to dis
rover the source of the celebrated ancient
fountain of kallirrhoe or Enneakrounos.
He has just found an important ancient
inscription connected with the Temple of
Bacchus, near the Areopagus. DIR. Dorp-
field believes that he has really discovered
the position of Enneakrounos, and ex-

the man and the signatures Of ten yoterf, in
order to have his name brought before those
caucuses where the Australian method was
employed, and in those caucuses where It
was not ufeI there have been no complaints
but what every voter enjoyed the free ex-
preston Of his will.
No voter can say th,t he shall no. vote
for the Republican candidates because he
believes they are not to tie trasted with the
management of municipal affairs for year.
A man who can successfully mansge his
own business has first class recommends
ton for public position where he will be
called upon to ranage the business OF the
public Mr.. Milliken, the Republican candi-
date for mayor is surely such man.
Moreover be is a stannch Republican and
this is q rear when being Republican is
big recommendation for any man who
seeks a public position.
Augusta has not felt the effects of Demo
cratic incompetency in national affairs as
have many cities. There has been COMPARE
lively little want and suffering this winter of
Democratic distress. But it must be borne in
mind that the people of this city are to
share in the general depress IN in business
brought about by the ascendency of the
Democratic party to the control of nation
al affairs, 1t must be borne in mind, also,
that the taxpayers of Augusta must share
in tie settlement Of the municipal debt
of ls93-94, contracted under Dem
ocrat.c rule. 1t shoul1 be borne
in mind that the present municipal
a lminis.ra.ion has been a much more ex-
pensive one when results achieved are
considered, than was the previous and Re-
publican administration. And this too in
face of the fact that the Democrats sole
cry one ear ago was extravaganza the sole
reason Why they are in power today is
because the voters of this city believed
their falsehoods, believed them when they
laid the Republican city government was
wasteful and extravagant. The people Of
Augusta now know that those charges were
utterly false; that they have changed Ia
competent administrati, IN for an incompe-
tent one. Do they propose to keep that in
comp tent administration in power? We
don't believe it. Every man who conscien-
tiously lays claim to the name of Republi
can will vote the Republican ticket next
Monday and we believe there are some of
the fearless Democrats disguised with their
own party who will do likewise.

Anew Of the Reasons for Republican Success.

A Few Of the Reasons for Republican Success.
Since the close of the war and the recon-
struction period there never has been time
when Republican principles have possessed
greater significance and appealed more
powerfully to the best sense of the people
than they do now. They arc, or ought to
be. prominent in every local campaign
this year. They should not be set aside
in the city and town elections save
where bad nominations have been made
and disregard of the party will
has been manifested. We have yet
heard Of no inch instance. Certainly it
has not been done 10 Augusta. The Re
publicans Of this city have had every op-
portunity to make nominations Of thsir
choice. Any one who wished man to be
candidate had only to get the consent Of

and trust to luck for future condition of
