HATCH TO DoLE-The Hawaiian
cable scheme is a dead issue. So is
annexation unless we can call it up
in special session which seems hope
less. The Queen is too wary and
very artful in her behavior. She has
given the coup dc grace TO annexation
if she does nothing else. The treaty
may be saved in part. A duty OF two
cents per pound will be imposed on
sugar and we may be given the ad-
vantage OF one-half of this duty;
but we must work for it. Annexa-
ton may as well be dropped, for the
Administration here is well inform
ed as to the methods used by the
Annexation Club to boom annexa-
tion among Hawaiians Save the
treaty and all may be we'll.

LET TIE PEOPLE ELECT.

A measure of considerable interest
now pending before the general assem-
bly, is the bill for submitting to
the people a constitutional amendment
providing tor the election of Judges
and solicitors general by popular vote.
Public sentiment on this question was
crystalized by the judicial investiga-
ton some months ago, and it appears
that both branches of the legislature
now favor change in the mode of
electing these officials.
This is one of the most important
issues before the makers. The
passage of such bill would do more
than any one thing to put the control
of political affairs in the hands of the
people and elevate the bench aud
strengthen the administration of JUS
tice. 1t would forever kill ring-rule
and log-rolling in Georgia. 1t is the
combinations made in Legislative cleo
ton OF judges and solicitors that have
aroused the people of the state against
a shameful bartering of their offices.
and determined them to correct the
disgraCeful evil.
These combinations have dominated
Georgia politics for a long time, but
the measure now before the legislature
will pave way for the voice of the
people to be heard.

Graphic wishes him well.
From the Americas Times-Recorder,
Hon' .. b. Stevens is clearly i'm the
race for Commissioner of Agriculture
and IS developing much strength. Mr.
Stevens will be acceptable to LARGE
section of Georgia. He is a practicaI
farmer, and not tied on to any political
chque. The people Of Georgia are long
headed, and they are rallying TO Stev-
ems of Georgia.
From the Newman Herald
For two weeks past Hon. O. B. Stew
ems, OF Terrell county, has beer fire.
quentIy mentioned Dy the newspapers
as suitable candidate for the office of
Commissioner of Agriculture. and it
seems probable now that he will be in
the race. The writer has known Mr..
stevens since bOyhOOd, and in our iudg
ment there is not more worthy man
In the state, nor one better qualified in
all respects to fill the office to which he
IS said to aspire. He is sure-enough
farmer-a practical, everyday tiIIpr
OF the soil-and this has always been
his leading occupation. For twenty
hye years he has been regarded as one
OF The most successful planters in south
west Georgia, and as Commissioners oc
Agriculture he would bring to his aid
an experience and knowledge that
cannot be gained from books. If Sen
ator Stevens concludes TO make the race

ONE OF TWO WAYS

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, receptacle for the urine,
and as such it is nOtliable to any form If
disease except by one of two ways. The
first way is from imperfect action of the
kidneys. The second way is from care
less local treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy kid
neys is the chief cause of bladder lroub-
les. SO the womb, like the bladder, was
created Cor Cne purpose, and if not doc
torAd too much is not liable to we2 kness
or disease, except in rare cases. 1t is
situated back of and very close to the
bladder, therefore any pam, disease or
inconvenience manifested in the kidneys,
back, bladder or urinary passage is often,
by mistake, attributed to female weak.
ness or womb trouble of some sort The
error is easily made and NAV be as east

your urine aside for twenty-four hours:
a sediment or settling indicates kidney

WCTORIO0S DEMOCRACY.

made gains everywhere. Van WICK.
democrat, was elected mayor of Great
er New York by 81, 600 plurality, and
Parker, democrat, carried New York
state by $4,000 for chief Justice of the
court of appeals. The democrats also
reclaimed Kentucky On silver plat
form, the majority being $4,000. In
Nebraska the democrats won by 10000,
and Virginia and Colorado both went
democratic. Perhaps the hottest fight
was IN Ohio, where Mark Hanna's sena-
torlal toga was at stake. Both parties
are claiming to haYe elected a small ma
