1t is already conceded that Eng
lands reply to the Wolcott commits
sion will be negative, though it may
be several days before the answer is
publicly announced. And the rela-
tive disappointment felt by silver
men owe the announcement is in d.
rect proportion to the amount of faith
they reposed in the commission, or in
it's methods.
Some men professed great faith in
the commission, and hope of its sue
cess; others swung to the other ex-
IRENE, and laughed at what they
chose to term a national folly. And
so we find men-good men-holding
every varying degree of faith or un-
faith in the prospect OF the premises.
We may not doubt the integrity o.
sincerity of the particular individual
for it is a natural imp~ossibility for al
to view the same object alike.
But in the thoughtful person il
creates a sense of profound WEAKNESS
to read the editorials of certain dem.
o%cratic organs which go wild with ex.
ultation at the story, shouting, 81
told you So and chuckling with de
light, because the movement ha.
failed. We are not of the narrow
gagged class, who prefer no prosper
to some prosperity, which happens
to come through the efforts of a par
ty other than their own. These ar,
they who voted for Cleveland be
cause he was a democrat, then in due
time, voted for Bryan for the sam
reason,-when the principles anc
platforms represented are as diverg
ent as circle and tangent.
We deeply deplore the result o
the commissions labors in England
While their efforts were in progress
we held the rooters stand, and shout
ed for u side. We sought to ali
them by words Of encouragement
Now that England has decide'
against them, there is room to specu
late as to the commissions course
Will they come home without fur
Their pressing their cause? Or, wi
they present the cast to other cour
tries?
1t is known that especially strain
ed relations exist today between tn
crowns Of Europe. The Russia
system of encroachment upon Eng
land is one of the most importar
factors in the current history of E,
rope. That England is against 81
yer may possibly afford sutficier
cause for Russia to support it. 1t
well known fact that great and in
pending issues are often decided b
no stronger force than the mere pc
sonal within OF a monarch or the stat
of feeling which may happen to e,
ist between nations.
Thoroughly imbued with Il
cause of bimetallism, the Wolco
commission will hardly return
America without pressing the eau
elsewhere. And it looks today
if Russia will be the next country
be visited. But if they come hon
without further effort in an interna
ional way the results are not t
least important. For the episo'
will effectually settle the question
international bimetallism and tn
effect a union of silver forces
home which was impossible viii
politics were beset by the intern
tional phantom.

All the dogs in Glasgow, says the
Gazette, are not thoroughbred-in
fact, there being but one who claims
that proud distinction, to-wit, viz:
the English setter, Count, owned by
DIR. Hoyt. All the rest claim distin-
guished p%arentage, but few can trace
their ancestry farther back than the
nearest Indian camp. Prior to
Counts advent into the community,
nothing was bred here but Indian
dogs and a single man is said to have
owned as many as fifteen at one time.
He disposed of them while there were
two meat markets in town, and we
have forgotten to which of the two
shops the bunch was knocked down.
Had it not been for the importation
of Count, we would probably still be
breeding Indian dogs and eating ar
inferior grade of bologna.

HUMOR OF THE HOUR.
LoDgfeIIow's First Poem.


MR. FINNEY'S TURNIP.
tLongfellow composed the following poem 4,
half an hour, when only 0 years old.1
Mr.. Finney had a turnip,
And it grew, and it grew,
And it grew behind the barn,
And the turnip lid no harm.
And 1t grew, and it grew,
Till it could grow no taller.
Their Mr.. Finney took it up
And put it in the cellar.
There it lay, there it lay,
Till it began to rot,
When his daughter Susie washed 1t,
And she put it in the pot.
Then she boiled it and boiled it
As long as she was able.
Then his daughter Lizzie took it,
And she put it on the table.
Mr.. Finney and his wife
Both sat down to sup,
And they ate and they ate,
Until they ate the turnip up.

 Decatur, Ga, Hanged.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. S.-Allan Stephen Perry was hanged at Decatur at 11:43 o'clock today for the murder of Rely Lanier.

Three days. before the shooting Perry warned Lanier that he knew of his action and would kill him on sight. Lanier left The cb,y and was followed by Perry who attempted to kill him near Atlanta. Both men were arrested and carried to Decatur and as they entered the court house Perry shot Lanier who fell to the ground. Perry then shot again.
 Perry has been singing and praying for several days, and declared that he was ready to die. As Perry ended a prayer Sheriff Austin pulled the trigger and the condemned man dropped eight feet and his neck was broken and he died without struggle.

The Old War Horse and Young Librarian Mar
 ried at the Governors Mansion

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. S.-Gen. James M. Longstreet, a major general in the con federate army, former United States minister to Turkey, and prospective commissioner Of railroads to succeed Gen. Wade Hampton, was married at the executive mansion on Peachlree street at 330 o'clock this afternoon to Miss Ellen Dortch, assistant librarian of the stats of Georgia. Governor and Mrs. Atkinson had issued a limited number of invitations to state officials and intimate friends of the bride and groom. These formed a distinguished party, which filled the blue room of the mansion where the ceremony was per formed. Rev. Schandell of the Church of the Immaculate Conception, officiat- ed. Judge J. B. Gaston, mayor Of Gainesville, Gen. Longstreats home, was best man and the brids entered on the arm of Gov. Atkinson, who gave her away in the absence of her brother, who is in Texas.
 Gen. and Mrs. Longstreet will spend two weeks at Porter Springs, Ga., after which thsy will return to Atlanta, where Mrs. Longstreet will resume her duty as assistant librarian. It is un- derIstood that she will not retire from the race for the librarianship, which she entered several months ago.
 A striking coincidence was supplied in the fact that today is the arniver- sary of the battle of Molina del Key, in the Mexican war where Gsn. Longstreet won his title as major.

Travellers shudder with horror at the thought of the train-wrecker who istealthily underniines the supports of railway bridge and precipitates passenger train with its load of precious human freight to a horri- ble death by fire and water There is a deadlier enemy than the train-wrecker that menaces not only travellers but stay at. homes. Its name is indigestion. It slowly undermines the supports that hold up the bridge of life and yearly precipitates untold thousands into the dread valley of consufnp- ton. If people will only take the right pre- caution they can avoid this calamity and even remedy it after it has occurred if they will act in time.
 All cases of indigestion and every disease that has its inception in indigestion or faulty nutrition are cured by Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures 98 per cent. of diseases.
