THE THREE ISSUES.

1.-TWO years ago after a campaign
oil more than twelve months, the
people of Georgia swept out of
power the hired political agents of
the corporations who, in combina-
ton with the hired representa-
tives of the liquor interests, had
always been strong enough to pre-
vent any substantial legislation
either upon the railroad question
or the liquor queftion from passing
the state senate. The three great
issues which were before the peo-
pie at the last election we're:
'sFirst negro disfranchisement.
''Second, the regulation OF cor
porations.

Augustan era. The ground floor of this Repub-
Iican house still retains some of its mosaics. The
most remarkable feature of the house, however,
is its underground portion divided into numer-
Gus small corridors and courts and tiny cham
bers whose floors still preserve the brick ridges
that once supported beds In one of these
chambers the walls, which were filed with nails
showed traces of at least twenty coats of paint
and whitewash; some traces of an Inscription
in red letters can still be discerned, and, more
clearly still. painting of three Bacchic thyrsi
with thick handles. bound together with red
ribbon. Another room. or rather series of rooms
of strange and complicated shape, contained
baths Below these cellars are passages of yet
older construction.
large quantity of interesting fragments of
pottery was found in this hoUse-sOme two hun
dred pottery lamps many of which were painted
as we'll as decorated with figures; a great many
Aretine vases of the finest type. none of them

CHICAGo's DRAINAGE CANAL.

The declaration of Colonel w. H
 Bixby the retiring chief engineer for t& United States government for the department of the lakes, that the big drainage ditch upon which Chicago has spent millions of dol lars will never prove sufficient to solve her sewerage problem, should make the citizens of the Illinois me- tropolis put on their thinking caps. The big ditch has been the hope of Chicago sanitarians, who have for years been striving to make 1t a commercial waterway and thus event ually secure its extension to the Mississippi on its present scale, un- der the guardianship and control of the general government. The idea has been to get commodious back door sewer and oeprate 1t in the guise of a commercial waterway. This explains the anomalous effort to secure a channel 20 feet deep across the state of Illinois to join channel only IA feet. which at present is the utmost hope of those who are striving for the improve. ment of the lower Mississippi river.
 The mistake of the Chicagoans doubtless lies in their belief that with a deep canal leading to the Mississippi river the volume of the back-flow will be sufficient to carry away the city's sewage, and thus pre- vent contamination of the lake wa ter. But a free flow cannot be es- tablished in a commercial canal with locks, and moreover, the amount of water that can be used would have to be limited by the general gov ernment in the interest of lake nav igation. It is therefore extremely doubtful whether Chicago can thus get rid of her sewage.
 In view of adverse opinion by an engineer who has been Ion the

ground" long enough to become
 thoroughly conversant with the needs of the city and with the condi. tions thus far established by back door drainage, Chicago should turn
 her attention to sewage disposal h a manner that will not involve mII- lions of dollars in doubtful experi- ment, and also endanger lake haf-. bors and channels, for the main. tenance of which the government isa spending millions of dollars annun1s ly.-Mflwaukee Evening Wisec1lln

THE QUEEN OF sHEBA. i

Tomorrow night at Polis "The Queen of Sheba" a new Yiddish oper- etta,, will be the scene of much in- terest for theater goers. Although the, performance will be in Yiddish the interest need not be lessened because Edwin A. Relkin's All-Star Yiddish company headed by the four most celebrated Yiddish players, Jacob Silbert. Mime Anna Simon, Noah s. simon, Mme Liza Silbert vii be the attraction in the new piece. So far as the art of this company is con cerned there need be no hesitation on the part of the theater goers of other nationalities as the interpre- tation by these artists is on a plane which does not require an acquain- tance with the words for thorough understanding of the play. Prices 25c to 75c.
