THE RETIRING GOVERNOR.

Gov. Atkinson's last annual message
goes to the legislature this morning. Like
his other state papers, 1t is carefully con-
sidered and well written. Notwithstand
ing il deals with matters which will prob
ably be treated at length by the incom
ing Governor, what Gov. Atkinson says
is of such timely interest that il will re-
oeiye attention by members of the legis-
lature and the public. The salient feat
ures of the message, extracts from which
we print this morning, have to DO with
election reforms and tax reforms. AS
Gov. Atkinson points out, Democrats
nomination in Georgia is equivalent to an
election, and this will probably be the case
for years to come It is necessary, there
fore, that safeguards should be thrown
around the nominations, so that these may
represent free and full expression by the
people. The primary election system of
making nominations has been found sat
isfactory, and will no doubt become per-
manent institution. Care should be taken
10 make the primary absolutely secret and
above suspicion.
The Governor defends the tax assessors
law of 1891, which was repealed in 1892.
Had the law been permitted to stand on
the statute books for a few years, the
Governor thinks ii would have resulted in
largely increasing the returns of taxable
property, thereby making it possible TO
reduce the tax rate. The only way in
which the state can reduce the tax rate,
he points out, is by making everybody bear
a proportionate share of the burden.
In retiring from the office of chief execu-
tive of the state MIR. Atkinson carries with
him the esteem and respect of all citi-
zens, without regard to party or race His
administration has been a successful one,
clean, honest and able. During its con-
tinuance the state has made great strides
toward prosperity, and her credit to-day
stands among the very best. Only short
time ago Gov. Atkinson negotiated for the
state loan at a lower rate of interest
than had ever before been obtained, and
lower than many other states could have
secured.
The probabilities are that Mr.. Atkinson 5
retirement from official life will not be
permanent. He is stil young and ambi-
tious. and there is an inviting field before
him.

THE LEGIsLATURE.

The Georgia legislature meets to-day.
II viii be in session, in all probability, for
fifty days. During that time Il viii be
in position to give the state any legisla-
ton that may be needed to promote its
best interests. Almost a unit as to party
control, with the Democrats so absolutely
and overwhelmingly in the majority as to
preclude the thought of opposition,
the people of the state will have a right
10 look to it for work that Will tend TO
dispose finally of some questions that are
of more than passing interest. The dis
position of the convcts has still some de-
tails that seem to need perfecting, and
more thorough tax assessment and equal
ization of the burden of taxation is Of
pressing Importance.
The new administration is committed to
an economical conduct of the peoples bus
mess and to reduction of the tax rate,
if possible 1t may be expected to give
advice and suggestions 10 the general as
sembly along these lines that viii be
worthy of its careful consideration. Any
action by the legislators which will tend
to lessen the burdens upon the tax payers
must meet with general commentator
and serve to shn further strengthen the
hold of Democracy upon the state. A
failure to do something of this kind may
tend to fan into new life the fast dying
embers Of Popuhsm and fusion.
Fortunately politics will distract the at
tention of the legislators from the serious
business of the session but a short time.
There are a few judges and solicitors to
be elected and while the contests may be
temporarily exciting, they will occupy lit
tie time and leave less soreness than
usual. After this session the legislators
will be saved the annoyances arising from
the present system of electing these court
officials AS the last elections by the leg
islature, the present contests will have
more interest than their own especial i'm
portance would attach to them. The pass
ing of a system which bred deals and bar
gains can hardly call for expressions of
regret. Deprived of this power, the legis-
latuTe will have more time to devote to
business that properly commands its at
tention and its members less opportunity
and inclination to use their official posi-
tons to promote their own personal amb1-
lions.
AS a body, the Georgia legislature has
for years stood the peer of any general
assembly in the country. 1t has had few
equals in point of character and capac-
ity, and no superiors. Its general per-
sonnet has steadily improved and it Is
safe to say that the body which gathers
at the capital to-day is fully equal 10 the
responsibilities that are placed upon it.

Where Diplomacy Comes In.
From the Philadelphia Ledger Qnd)

France could not hope to maintain Mai
Marchand's acquisitions by force of arms
Great Britain, at best, could only establish
her already effective occupation of the
Soudan. All that is apparently needed TO
compose the matter is to arrange some
means whereby Maj. Marchand can get
out OF Fashoda without the appearance of
having been driven out. and without Civ
ing the French people the idea that their
government has yielded TO that of Great
Britain. The diplomats ought to be able
to arrange that and thus save thousands
of lives and millions of money

No Speeches Worth Reading.
From the New York Times DEM }.

The average speech in Congress is com
posed in turgid, habby, 'half7baked"
rhetoric which cannot be regarded or re-

land in this respect. There are half doz-
en- members of Parliament whose speeches
are reported verbatim in the leading news

He Brought His Company with Him.

A San Francisco hostess, famous for her
tact and resourcefulness,< tells good story
on herself. 1t seems that an officer in
one of the Tennessee companies, a very
shy young man. brought letters with him
when his regiment came to the coast and
presented himself one evening at the Van
Ness avenue residence. AS he was the

While the legislature is adopting an

TO cover local as well as state elections.
It would be good idea to wipe out every

stable to governor.

In a recent newspaper paragraph CO.
caine was recommended as a remedy for

d. now says that it is never entirely free

there is often an element of uncertainty
as to it's action, which may produce I'M
expected and unpleasant results. These
occur more free ently when the cocaine Is
injected than when it Is simply applied to
the mucous membrane. Many dentists
are abandoning the practice of injecting
cocaine into the gums before extraction on
this account, and some members of the
profession are becoming skeptcal as to the
desirability of driving it into the dentine

which electricity is the vehicle employed
for carrying in the medicament The point
which it is well to bear in mind is that
what is good practice in one case may
be bad in another A few individuals I'M

certain conditions, are specially susceptible

degree of this general susceptibility should
always be determined as far as possible

STREET WORKERS
 TO BE LAID OFF Result of a Threatened Reduc- ton of Anbrose's Ap-
 prOpriation. don Projects for Needed
 Repairs.

Superintendent of Streets Ambrose Is about to discharge the entire force now at work on the streets and sewers. owing to the action of the Board of Supervisors MT. Ambrose states his position as fol lows:
 '"The board has declared it's intention to use up the greater portion of my appro- priation in the paving of various streets that could well be held over until the next fiscal year. In spite of my protesta- tions they are about to let contracts that will aggregate the sum of $25000 They are as follows: For paving with bitu- minous rock the city's portion of Oak and Stanyan streets, $25,000; improving Alamo Square, $13,0O0; repaving Market street $25 900; repaving cobbled streets, $3S, ,OO0; city's portion of Sunset district sewer SIS, ,O00; for street sweeping, $135 900. To- tai, $25O, 600.
 While I am in hearty accord with the Supervisors as to the necessity. of per- forming the above mentioned work I be- lieve in first doing work on downtown streets and sewers that is an absolute need Streets that have long been neg lected in the business portion of the city where heavy hauling is constantly going on is in many places in Wretched condl- tion and needs immediate attention.
 "The sewers of the lower portion of the city, also long neglected, are choked and in need of immediate relief. For the past four months night watches have been working to get these into some kind of shape.
 In fact, the situation at present in the lower portion of town is such that should a heavy storm come on the result would be the flooding of all of the cellars in the wholesale districts. With the backing of the tides and the excessive drain of storm water it would be impossible for the water to run off, Year after year the eel lars of the lower portion of town have suffered from the overflowing sewers, and it is to. remedy this evil that I am striving so hard, but the cutting off of this appro- priation in the manner contemplated by the Board of Supervisors will so cripple my department that the work must be abandoned, and great damage will result
 "I have warned the Supervisors of the situation and requested that these pro- posed improvements go over until after July, and with the money now allowed my department I would be able to fix the streets and sewers of the business portion of the town. Complaints are constantly coming to my department, and I want the blame for any damage done to rest where it belongs-with the Board of Su- pervisors.''
 A list of the sewers in need of repairs and their condition shows that many particularly along the water front, are almost in state of collapse. In the
