THE HALE RIRoTIoN BILL.

ore no indications that any changes Of
consequence will be made by the legis-
iature in the election laws of the State.
The objection to the Walton law Is
general and pronounced. The people Of
various localities entsr2d q protest.
sgainst it at the last election, and man
prominent in the Democratic party have
warned the legislature that unless the
sncas Questionable featurss of this law
are repealed during the present session
the State will be turned over to the
control Of the opposition at the next
regular election.
Inc honess election bill preeensed by
senator Hale. may not be entirely per-
iecs, but 1t meets some Of the most
urgent requirements Of new election
ia8. In the method for selecting thu
members of the electoral boards it
moves the chance for isplsy OF par
Fasanry and In allowing voters to call on
tsne judges for assistance, instead of a
constable, it does away with most
Objectionable feature of the present
law. Tho Device for designating the
tickets OF different parties and the
ARRANGEMENTS for display OF the ballot
on election day are also excellent
gestures Of the bill, which a ell respects
'1s far superior TO the Wslton lsw. On

elaborate and beautiful. 1t remains only
to say that Americus feels her irrepara- :
BILE loss, and is proud of the honors paid
to her distinguished dead.
Thus closes the career of man dis
tinguished in the humber walks of life
for his irreproachable character devotion
to friends and family and simplicity in
manner and speech. for which he was
honored at home. But as national char
acter, the name of Charles f. Crisp stands
out pre-eminently grand. Not for that
brilliant genius that marks a meteoric
fame, but for his honest convictions and
their courageous expression; for his fdel-
ity to every duty imposed upon him; for
his love of home, his love of Georgia, his
love of the union and his defense of the
rights Of the people against oppression
of every character.
In congress he won a lasting fame,
standing the peer of his ablest opponents
in debate. with a dignity and calmness
that made him a marked parsonage in
that body.

NEW DOCKS AT NEW ORLEANS.
The Illinois Central Reaching After
European Trade.

New Orleans, Oct. 25.-The extensive
new docks and port facilities of the nli-
nois Central railroad, at the head of
Louisiana avenue. having been completed,
they will be dedicated with imposing GER
emonies on Wednesday next. They will
be called the Stuyvesant docks in honor
of Stuyvesant Fish, president of the rail-
way company. Representatives of all the
commercial bodies will take part In the
dedication.
Capt. A. X. Miller, president of the
chamber of commerce, will make the in
troductory remarks and the prayer will
be offered by the venerable divine, Dr.
b. NJ. Palmer
Mayor Flower of this city will make an
address, after which Gov. Foster will
make the dedicatory address and christen
the docks. President Stuyvesant Fish
will respond on behalf of the railway COM
pany. The steamers will then set sail
amidst the ringing of all the bells and
blowing of all the whistles In the harbor.
The complexion of these docks is the
beginning Of a great effort which the rail-
road will make to bring European ship
ments via this city for Chicago, st. Louis,
Cincinnati and all western cities. The
wharfage will be absolutely free to all
steamers landing at the docks with inte-
ror freight for shipment by the Illinois
Central railroad and such a saving in
port charges, 1T is believed, will bring q
great bulk OF traffic this way.

gold or silver standards are settled by
either of the parties, the sa-

unsettled. The republican and demo-
cratic parties do not propose to settle it.
Remember that every year these sa-
looms are licensed by your votes If cast
for any party, but the prohibition party,
and that such votes advance the cause of
the liquor sellers. The prohbitionist,
however, is the voter who does all in his

farious trade"
The Rev. Dr. I. X. Funk said, in part

wnere the path of safety. This detestable
Sunday opening fraud Of a law is the re-
suit of partnership between the state
