Congressman Cannon of Illinois recently told a reporter that he is not and will not be a candidate for Congress be cause" he said 'I have not $50oo0 to throw away" and he explained that it would cost him at least that much to make the race and that he stood no chance to win, even at that price. 4 seat in Congress from Illinois costs aI- most or quite as much as a seat in the New York Stock Exchange, and unless the member can get hack his money by some kind of side transactions, it is cer- tainly a losing business.

The gray old veterans of Georgia have been having a big reunion at Atlanta this week, and noe but they and their kind can tell how they enjoy getting together and fighting their battles over. It will be but few yesls till these meetings will erd. Each one shows gaps caused by the enemy before whose guns no soldier can stand, and it is good and right and proper for them to meet when they can. Montgomery will have them soon, and the first Capital of the storm-cradled Nation that fell'' must do her full duty.

as the statement was made that the
