Something was said in this paper 8 few days ago about the proposed great electric power plant contemplated for Columbus. Since then the deal has been completed by which one of the greatest power producing plants in the South will be established. The new corporation takes, over the interest of three of the largest companies of that city. and will, if we correctly under stand it's designs, have practical con- xrol of the water power of the Chatta- hooehe River from Columbus almost to West Point, The electric power that can be developed will be almost with out limit, and the new company pledges itself to provide all the power that may be called for. and just as fast as it is needed. It will be a great thing for our nsighbor city and surrounding territory, and already the citizens are feeling the effects.

 The word .'bamboozle" is something of a favorite with Senator Tillman. He used it freely on the stump when candidate for Governor and again when running for Senator. and appears to think it helped to elect him on both occasions. Now he Is firing it at the Senators in his speeches before that body and a contemporary charges that he hopes his favorite expression may make him President We'll, 1t is a good old English word. meaning to hoax or deceive one, so why shouldn't he use 1t?

 The Chicago Chronicle has good suggestion relative to two brands of cranks who are making nuisances of themselves and worrying good people. It wants to know why not assemble all the euthanasia cranks who wish to kill off the old and, ''incurable" people in one inclosure and all the cranks who are producing schemes for the abol- tion of death in another inclosure. orL ganlze them into football teams and then turn them loose and let them proceed to exterminate one another in true football style? We would thus get rid of these two kinds of antag- onistic cranks and at the same time have enough football amusement" to satisfy us for one season at least
 We hold that to be good and sen sible suggestion Those who advise putting to death all who are thought to be hopelessly afflicted in any way ought to have a chance to kill off each other and be done with 1t, and those who teach that death can be prevented should have an opportunity to test their belief. If the two classes could be pit ted against each other some good might result.
