ed their convenience to repair them? If
they did, they must have had a rather
cloudy understanding of their responsible
tiles under their contract.
They will not only repair the streets and
lanes which they have torn up. but thew
will be required TO put them in Just as
good condition as they were before work
upon the house drainage Improvement was
begun They ought to have been required
to restore the paving on the paved streets
as fast as the pipe was laid. The people
have good cause to complain of the delay
not only of the house drainage contractors
but also of the street railway company in
repairing the pavements which they have
torn up.
In some of the lanes the work of restor-
ing the cobble stone paving has been done
in slip-shod fashion. For instance. The
paving in Bay street lane. near Whitaker
street. was relaid in such way that a
large puddle is formed whenever il rains.
Work of that sort should not be permitted.
No doubt the Mayor will see 10 1t that
the contractors repair the streets where
they have taken up the paving in carrviuo-
on the house drainage work, and the Com
missioner of Public Works will see to it
that the repairs are made so that there
will be no reason for finding fault with
them.

The PoIitlcn1 Foundling.

In his stump speeches, Judge Spencer
r. Atkinson makes use of little politi-
cal allegory to the amusement of his aud
itors, and with more or less effect. The
story, as the Judge tells it. is like this:
Put fellow citizens. will tell you the
true story of the candidacy of this man
who didn't know he was going TO run and
be elected.
ION chilly night in the fall of 1897,
upon the doorstep of a hospital for polit
zeal foundlings. situated on the corner of
Forsyth and Alabama streets in Atlanta,
basket was gently laid. In it was
tiny infant The air was bleak and it
awakened from its infant slumber with
piteous cry. Qaughter).
Attracted by that familiar sound, there
stepped forth from the portals of this
hospital a benevolent, old man, large of
girth and of CHEEKY face. Indeed, he was
as Shakespeare's typical alderman, pos
sessed of a good round belly, seemingly
with fat capon lined
He walked out and looked and gently
turned aside the coverlet, and in it he
found the infant. He raised it up tender
ly and gently bore it into the inner tenn
ple-into the sanctum sanctorum, and as
he approached the august presence of the
presiding genius of that household he ex-
claimed: 'Eurekal Eurekar Gaught2r).
" Found what, Pa?
Clark my son, l have found the Iext
Governor of Georgia. Qaughter).
"Fellow citizens, this may be true" said
the Judge, while his hearers laughed
heartily. The ways of Providence are in
serutable. Sometimes the unanticipated
will occur, but if in the Providence of the
Almighty, this tender infant should come
to mans estate, should come to be Gov

hand which rocks the cradle will rule the
state and the Atlanta Constitution will al
last come to be the Governor Of Geor-
gia." daughter and applausel.

No Rush to Enlist.

The cruiser Columbia went to sea the
other day twenty-five per cent. short in
her complement of men. The monitors Pu-
ritan and Miantonomoh are understood TO
be short of men in about the same pro-
portion. Indeed, ii is the understanding
that nearly all of the ships in commits
sion lack men. A want of men exists also
in the army. Enlistments have been in
vited for service in the artillery at Tybee.
1t has now been nearly four weeks since
the new artillery regiment was author
lied by Congress, and enlistments for that
regiment have been going on for three
weeks, yet up to the present time not
nearly enough acceptable men have offer
ed their services TO the government. There
was only meagre enrolment in this city;
but the experience of the recruiting officers
here was not exceptional At st. Louis
the offerings were so few that the Office
was closed. About the same conditions
are reported at other cities. There seems
to be nowhere a rush of men to get into
the service, in order to be in a position to
vent pent-up anger upon the heads of the
Spaniards.
What is the meaning of this lack of ac-
ceptable volunteers? The meaning is prob
ably two-foldi first, that the masses are
not eager for war, and second. that there
are very few persons, comparatively
speaking, out of employment
If there were an excellent cause for this
country to go 10 war; if we had a grlev-
n -
otherwise rectified than by war; if any of
our rights or institutions had been as
sailed; if our territory had been attacked
or threatened-in short, if there were any
thing to make our people 'mad"-can it
be doubted that the masses would have
thronged the enhsting offices, and that
after three weeks of enlistments there
would not have been vacancy in the serv
vice? The fact is the people are not
fighting mad" they have nothing to be
mad about. The war spirit is pretty much
confined to speechmakers in Congress
and the columns of the newspapers. The
people do not want war. At the same
time, if it should be forced upon them by
those whom they have set up in authority,
they would do their full duty.
Some of our friends are perpetually harp
ing upon the great number of the 'unem-
ployed walking the streets" Where are
they? Why do they not seek employ
ment In the service of the government?
The pay of a soldier or a sailor is not very
big, to be sure, but it is Infinitely better
than nothing. The men in the army and
the navy receive an abundance of good
and wholesome food. clean and substan-
tial clothing and shoes, good beds, and
medical attention and medicines, all free,
and wages not less than $l3 per month
Is that not better than being unemployed
and walking the streets?" The honest
unemployed would think so. no doubt
There are, of course, some who are per-
petually unemployed, and who would nei-
Their work not fight under any circum-
stances. OF that class nothing can be
judged from the small enlistments. But
it may be presumed that the army of
honest unemployed is rather small, or
there would be greater numbers of prof.
4rs of services TO Uncle Sans recruiting
officers.

The Tax Exemption Question.

Judge Atkinson, in his speech at Athens,
showed how little there is in the argument
Mr.. Berner is making against the sus-
gested amendment to the constitution per-
hitting municipalities 10 exempt manu-
featuring enterprises from municipal tax
alton for number of years. Mr.. Berner
is trying to create the impression that such
an amendment would be against the in
terest of the farmers-that the rich owners
Of factories would escape taxation, while
the tax burden of the poor farmers would
be increased
Mr.. Berner knows, of course, that if the
suggested amendment should be adopted
the taxes of the farmers would not be in
creased in the least. In fact, such exemp
ton as is suggested would be helpful to
the farmers, because it would bring about
an increase in the amount of property tax
able for state purposes. The greater the
amount of property that is taxable for
state purposes the lower the rate of taxa
ton would be; besides by building up the
towns the market for many of the pro-
ducts of the farmers would be improved.
nc exemption Oh new factories from Elu-
nicipal taxation would, therefore, be BEN
eficial. instead of hurtful, TO the farmers.
Judge Atkinson said he would gladly give
towns the chance to vote to exempt new
factory plants from municipal taxation for
certain number of years if he had The
power, but, as a matter of fact, a Gov
ernor has nothing whatever to do with
exempting property from municipal
taxation, and Mr.. Berner would
have nothing to do with it if he should be
elected Governor Therefore, in saying
that he is against the suggested amend
ment granting to municipalities the right
to say whether or not they will exempt
certain kinds of property from municipal
taxation he is simply trying TO win the
favor of the crowd upon an issue with
which he does not deal with entire frank

fenrled said, calmly. but with a twinkle
in his eye: Mr. Reed is only a member

you that order 1 will revoke it. Tell Mr..

That almost took the messengers breath
away. He did not know what was going

De Graffenried can't look ferocious if he
tries, but he came as near il as he could,
and replied in an undisturbed sort of a
way:
You tell Speaker Reed that if he orders
me about / will kill him
The page scampered back to the desk
and informed the speaker of Mr.. De Graf
fenried's decision. He leaned over to the
page and asked in a hollow whisper:
rs he armed?"
