WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 2:, 1894.
The Daily Gazette, cstiblished in. 1890
The Weekly Gazette in 1800.
The manufacturer, the merchant, the me-
chanic and laborer, are all daily and de-
voted readers of the Daily: Gazette. En-
terprising, attractive and honest, its readers"
believe in it and peruse it thoroughly: and
its Editorials and Advertisements get closer
attention than do the columns of less re-'
spected papers. _ ’
Back to Washington;
The President 'is expected back- in
Washington tonight, and the report is
current there that he has a veto of the
Tariff Bill in his pocket ready to issue
tc-morrow. Many good democrats are
sure the story is true, but just as many
and just as good ones are sure it isn’t
true. '
Easily Accounted For.
Theodore says he reached the high-water
mark, last Saturday, as he anticipated. It
was the biggest day in the history of his bus-
iness.-—Sentinel. 2
Nothing more natural. Olsen com-
menced a four across column advertise-
ment in the DAILY GAZETTE, the day
before. It pays to advertise, anyhow
and anywhere, but especially in the B.
L. D. GAZETTE.

Just as Predicted.
Many errors which will have'costly
results have been discovered in the new
Tariff bill. They are due to careless-
ness and make the bill, according to
Treasury officials, the worst drawn
measure ever presented to the depart-
ment. '
The Sun to-day, says it was discover-
edZat the Treasury Department yester-
day, that the income tax section of the
Tariff bill, had been rendered inoper-
ative for the reason that no appropria-
tion is made to carry it into effect.

lmportant Matter Settled.
Editor Rodemeyer, incorrigibie old
bachelor as he is, knows all about ladies’
costumes, and when such an;undisputed
authority Speaks with the positiveness
of the ‘following promulgation, argu-
ment is at an end and the matter is
settled. Hear himzl ' -
The ladies of the Atlanta Wheel Club, the
new local organization of lady bicyclists, are
breaking the ice in the way of introducing the
loomer costome. Several of the members
wear the new dress, and eventually every lady”
who rides a wheel will. adopt the fashion,
which is entirely proper and becoming, as
well as being infinitely superior to the con-
ventional flowing skirts in permitting freedom '
of aetion, and in obviating the'annoying em-
, barrassments that are inseparable from the
full skirts. We take pleasure in extending to
the ladies of the Atlanta Wheel Club the as-
surance of our most distinguished consuler-
4' tion, together with half the road—News.

Low Temperature.
The thermometer last night ran down
to 43 degrees about the city, and in the
adjacent lowlands there mustlhave been
a frost. '
The decided change in temperature
yesterday and especially last night,lwas
a surprise and white dresses disappeared
from the streets like magic. OvercOats
were popular in the evening. ' They
were worn generally, which is an un-
usual feature of life in these parts.
Feminine wraps and boas were re-
moved from their meth preventers and
their appearance on the wearers sug-
gested nothing of the heated term ec-
centricities. '
In New Hampshire it was one of the
coldest August days ever known among
the mountains. A cold wind blewall
day, snow covered Mount Washington
and Jefferson and a complete freeze out
was looked for last night, as at 8 o’clock
it was but 8 degrees above freezing.
Settles "ltl Now Hill May 00 to
Congress. -
Hon. E. J. Hill need have no further
anxiety asto his right to run for Con-
gress this fall. His masterful coup
d’etat anent the car signs, has captured
the esteemed Sentinel and won its con-
sent. Discussing the sign surrender,
it says: " ‘
“In this connection we may as well state
that the Sentinel is not opposed to Mr. E. J . >
Bill as the Republican Congressional candi-
date for this district. 0n the contrary, it be-
‘ lieves he is thoroughly qualified to represent
the district, and if selected would look after
its interests ill the most effective and satisfac-
tory manner. and if he secures the nomination
he will have all the support the Sentinel can
give him.”
If any one ever doubted our friend
Hill’s ability and fitness for a seat in
Congress, all such misgivings are now
at an end. The esteemed Sentinel’s
concessions have settled it that now Hill
can go to Congress—if he can get there.—
and he is pretty apt to do just that sort
of thing.

Our Public Lands.
The Public Lands in the West now
unoccupied comprise an area of 589,000,-
000 acres and the-statementwa‘s made in
Congress by Representative Pickler, of
South Dakota, that two-fifths of the
entire area "of the United States con-
sists of the arid lands, and that upon:
over 600,000,000 acres of this land crops
could be raised if water were shpplied.
Mr. Pickler-introduced a bill in Con-
gress to provide for the appointment
of a non-partisan commission of five
persons to inquire into these desert
lands and report upon the best practical
system of irrigation. If such a scheme
could be made successful, and there is
much reason to believe from practical
illustrations of it in Utah and California
that irrigation will reclaim the waste
places, it would provide a benefaction
to humanity beyond estimate. In these
600,000,000 acres of arid land it is stated
that a population of more than 30,000,-
000 persons could be sustained. Not
one-half of 1 per cent. of this land has
been irrigated, and the results of irri-
gation, as told about in the State re-
ports, have far surpassed the predict~
tions of its first advocates. ‘
Have a Care.
The electric railway companies are
justly expected to obey all the require-
ments of the law relating to the securi-
ty of passengers and those. compelled
to use the streets, and to adopt every
additional safeguard that human inge-
nuity can devise. But this does not ab-
solve those who ride upon the trolley
cars from the duty of employing ordi-
nary common sense when getting on
and off the cars. The electric cars
move more rapidly than the old horse
cars did, and those who persist in get-
ting on or off at any place they wish
while the cars are moving, do so at
great risk to themselves, and those who
Tare-injured in this way will have only
themselves to blame. Conductors talk
themselves hoarse in warning passen-
gers to wait until the cars have stopped,
but-thefe is a class'of passengers they
The fools are
not all dead, but sOme of them will lose
limbs if not ”lives, if they persist in dis-
regarding the oft-repeated warning
against getting on or off trolley cars in
motion, and especially such idiots, as
jump off backwards. Then too, thought-
less" drivers and bicycle riders are too
fond of using the tracks in front of the
fast moving cars, unmindful of the
greater speed with which they are rush-
ing upon the thus unauthorized users
of the tracks. ~
Our motormen and conductors have
been extremely painstaking and care-
ful to prevent accidents and have been
exceedingly fortunate in that no very
serious injury to any one has yet oc—
curred, but they cannot be expected to
overcome contributive negligence on
the part of the public. The extra care
the car men exercise in regard to pass-
ing timid horses is worthy of all praise.
If patrons of our city street railways
will exercise as much care and common
sense themselves as the car men do for
them, there will be few accidents to
record.
Mosquitoes Galore!
People who read in the New York
papers last week, that a regiment of
soldiers had been put to flight by the
mosquitoes at Willett’s Point, thought
the story faked after the manner of the
New Canaan Sunday desecration re-
ports in thesame journals, but a corres-
pondent of the Sun attests to the truth
of the statement and goes on to eXplain,
that the soldier when he ‘enlisted, had
death only in expectation, as the worst
he could suffer, and when tortured by
vigorous, blood-sucking mosquitoes on
every exposed part of his face and neck,
With the right denied him to stop drill
and brush them off, he naturalty muti-
nied and so the regiment had to be re-
moved. Had it been any other part of
the body, the new bullet proof jacket
could have been utilized. One lady
avers the pests on Long Island and
New Jersey this year are fully as large
as newly hatched chickens and ferocious
as wild beasts.
The Sun man says, “I was over there
one evening recently when the soldiers’ "
faces were dotted with mosquitoes,
which were having a lovely and unin-
terrupted feast. The men marched from
barracks without a mosquito to bother
them, swung in proper form on to the
parade ground between the fort and
the regimental headquarters, and there
a curious battle began. The rascally
little pests seemed to be lying in am-
bush, for they were not seen or felt
anywhere else in the fort that evening,
but they were as numerous as the blades
of grass on the parade grounds, and
rese in a gray cloud as the soldiers
marched on.
“Naturally there was no respect
shown to persons, for there were as
; many of those black dots on the senior
Captain as on the face of the newest
recruit.- Without exaggeration I would
say that there were at least twenty sav-
age, hungry mosquitoes fastened by
' their poisonous bills to the faces and

tedftoido anything'with‘their’hands ei-‘i
.cept what the ”drill regulatioiisfi provide?
for, and brushing off mosquitoes, is not
one of those things. It is only when
the order at case has been given that
the soldier is not required to preserve
immobility, and it was before the order
could be given that the battle raged.
On the part of the mosquitoes the
struggle was physical: on the part, of
the soldiers it was a struggle ’of will
power, not to dislodge fiendish pests
which were inflicting torments all but
'insupportable. ' '
The {officers of course, kept their
hands where they belonged. The vet-
erans were to be depended upon, but
enlisted men were a great study. Some
became purple, some white with sup-
pressed emotion. 'Some Of them “had
just a grim suggestion of a grin, as if
the ghastly humor of the situation was
appealing to them through their suffer-
ing. ' I
"The humor of course, was in watch;
ing the recruits. At first some of them
instinctively half raised their left hands
to smite the first offending creatures
stinging, and then their brief training
came to their rescue, stayed their hands,
and saved the pests. Then the recruits’
faces began to take on a strange variety
and degree of expressions. Some of
them looked horrified, as much as if
they were saying “If this is soldiering it
is worse than anything we expected——
death was the worst we looked for.’
Then their faces became like men on
the rack, and finally, when twenty mos-
quitoes at least were doing their worst,
the thing happened which we all antici-
pated, yet hoped would not; some of
them, with faces actually agonized with
the torment, brought’ their gloved
hands up to their faces with vicious
smacks. When the recruits had done
this they looked half frightened to death
guard house, and would surely mean
lots of guying from the veterans. The
Captain commanding was a merciful of-
ficer. He pretended not to notice this
breach of discipline, and promptly dis-
missed the parade.” V

Rev. Mr. Blssell’s Condition.
Mr. Bissell has rallied and decidedly
improved. Strong hopes are now on-
tertained that he may, for some time at
least, survive his sudden and very
alarming illness. His sister, Mrs. Fer-
ry, and his daughters, Mrs. Lockwood
and Mrs. Patterson, arrived yesterday,
and are now with him. If his improve-
ment continues. Mrs. Ferry and daugh-
ter Mary, will to-morrow leave for
Pittsfield. : ’
It is recalled: that Mr. Bissell’s hon-
ored father, Governor Bissell, rallied
from asupposed fatal illness and lived
for four years and at his final sickness,
he did not expire for four'days after
being stricken with death. His worthy
son seems to have inherited much of
the father’s latent and reserved, recus
perative powers.
