The Way in Atlanta.
Big Jim Villepigue has just re
turned from Atlanta. II? went to
do the Exposition, and was himself
done. Jim weighs over 300 pcunds
and has always borne a reputation
for sagacity in proportion to his bulk.
“Never s»w anything lire it under
the eun,” he said, telling some
friends about it all yesterday. “They
had Florida Day, Farmers’ Diy,
Texas Day, Old Plantation Day,
Emancipation Day and Thanksgiv
ing Day the week I was there, and
instead of stringing ’on out, cne day
for each day, they rammed ’em all
up together in one day—Thanksgiv
ing Day. S a you see there were six
days in one. AV. 11, the crowd sim
ply took the town. Os all the mobs
1 ever saw it was the worst. There
wasn’t a man who knew where he
was going, or where anybody else
was going Nobody knew anybody.
Everybody was lost. There wasn’t
a place to find out anything. When
you stepped off the train a thousand
negroes, dirty and ragged, grabbed
. for year valise, and . asked you to
J show your ti.ket. Why, I saw mei
?go down in their pockets for their
/ tickets just the same as if the con
] ductor had called for them on the
train. You bet I didn’t. They
don’t know how to run a railroad in
the South. In Atlanta they can’t
run a street car. They say there
was 25,009 people at the Exposition
that day. If tint’s so, 24,000 went
home mad and told the r friends
never to think of going to see it. It
is the worst managed affair I ever
saw.”
Jim declares he lost sixteen pounds
that memorable day, which is not an
unmtxed blessing. lie should be
grateful to Atlanta.—The Press.
An Average Congressman.
Last, but not least, take a look at
the Hon. Miles Crowley, of Galves
ton. Born in Boston, fourteen years
ago, he broke int? Galveston on a
box car. For ten years of the four
teen he has held office, until now he
sits, Galveston’s Representative, in
Congress. Miles won his spurs and
his seat in Congress by sternly re
fiufoig to cater to the better element.
H-/is a breezy, good natured, very
..Je personage.
® ; What were you doing in town on
A the. day of the murder ?” tsked
, J -idge.Caiborsc-n of Crowley on an
bccjsfoh when the latter was a wit
ness Ai a trial whereof Culberson was
e <jif the attorneys. “What were
you doing in town on the day of the
murier?”
‘‘Well, sir,” observed Crowley, in
a leisurely and self satisfied way, “I
was eatin’ of a few sardines; I was
diinkin’ of a few drinks ot whiskey ;
I was smoking of a few seegirs, and
a-romancin’ around.”
Thus answered the worthy Miles
Crowley on this trial occasion, and
he might make the same reply to a
similar question aimed at every yes
terday in his existence.—Washington
Post.
The Chronicle’s Charge.
“Whenevir a question is ready to
be voted upon a majority of the
members are obliged to inquire,
what is the question, and find out
from the party leaders which side
they are expected c vote on. 1 ’
The above startling assertion in
regard to congress is made by the
Chronicle. It is a counterpart to
the famous charge of Mr. Watson
th kt sometimes a member asks to be
informed “where am I at ”
It is not forgotten how Mr. Wat
son was abused and denounced or
making the charge, and among all.
howlers and abusers rone went to
greater length than this same old
Chronicle. The chtrge made by
Mr. Watson was investigated by
congress, aad that body for cnee
failed to have a job of white wish
ing done. Mr. Wstson eitablished
his charge.
And now comes the Chronicle,
that poisonous sheet which in its
bitter and vindictive hatred stooped
at nothing in denouncing Mr. Wat
son for charging that some of the
members needed to be told where
they were “at,” and unblushingly as
serts that a jiajobity of the mem
bers are obliged to find out from
the party bosses which side they
must vote “on.”
The silly old dotard actually out-
Watsoru Wat ion in preferring
charges of tv fitness upon the mem
bers of congress.
While the charge of Mr. Watson
was only made against “some” of
the members, the Chroni .le’s charge
is against “a majority of the mem
bers.”
While Mr. Watson did not lay
the absentmindedness of Congress- |
men beyond their appetite for beef- j
tea, the Chronicle charges that it is
due to base disregard of their obli
gations to the people. The major
ity of members are mere puppets to
cast a vote, arid whenever a vote is
taken which affects the interests of
the people, these puppets “ind cut
trom the party leaders which side
they are expected to vole on.”
Expected by whom? Not a mem
ber of Congress but who knows
which side of a question his cosstl
tuents expect him to vote on. Then
the instructions which the f“maj irity
of members are obliged” to ark for
and receive from t o bosses is to an
tagonize the interests of their con
stituents.
This is the grav j st charge which
has ever been made against Con
gress. No Populist would have
made such a charge. But coming
from a Democratic source, and
charging the majciity, which speak
ing in the light of the past sessions
means the Democrats, it is not the
charge of politi sal opponents but
must be accepted as the admission
wrung from political friends.
An honest confession i i said to be
good for the soul, and no doubt old
Nancy feels somewhat relieved. It
is now easy to see why the country
has been financially sfflto'.ed. and
why Democracy is loathed and hat
ed by the people.—Augusta Tribune.
Money for Rothschilds.
Bion L. Burrows, who is now chief
clerk as well as confidential clerk in
the Mayor’s office, s'gned a note for
$24,470 yesterday, representing the
quarterly interest due to J. Roths
child & Sons of London on a debt of
more than $3,000,000 which this city
o ®es the firm.
The Rothschilds collect SIOO,OOO
every year in interest from this city
through August Belmont, who rep
resents them. The yearly interes
on the public debt of this city is a
large factor in the tax rate. It is an
interesting question, sometimes, to
ask who is responsible for the heavy
debt which this city carries. Some
citizens, when asked that, point to
the Tweed Court House.—N. Y.

Cheap Books.
During the campaign of last year
we donated about 2,C00 copies of
the Roman Sketches to the Execu
tive Committee and they were scat
tered throughout the State.
From many sources came the re
ports of the good work done by
these little books.
In simple style, the author trace:
the struggles which occurred in
ancient Romo on
The Labor Question,
The Land Question,
The Money Question,
And the jibuse of Special Privi
leges, or Class Rule.
A picture is drawn of the man
ners, customs, superstitions, tyranny,
misrule and corruption of the times,
and of the work which the great re
formers undertook.
The study of tho contending prin
ciples and factions of those times
throws a vivid light over the con
ditions of to-day.
These Roman Sketches are no
mere fancy pictures.
Every statement made by the au
thor is based upon the authority of
Plutarch, Mommsen, Arnold, Froude,
Suetonious, Cicero or Ward.
Over the life-work of Caesar, the
great German scholar, Mommsen has
thrown a flood of startling light; and
upon the revolt of Spartacus, Ward
has brought a similar patience of re
search and a similar richness of dis
covery.
The author has followed these two
authorities closely, and his delinea
tions of Caesar (the reformer of the
land and money systems of Rome)
and of Spartacus, the greatest labor
leader of history, are based upon
authorities which cannot be refuted.
You will fail to understand the
present unless you know the past.
You and your children should
acquaint yourselves with the stern
and alarming facts which these histo
rians lay before you.
Times are hard, but they will get
harder unless you will work the
change.
Leaders can do nothing without
followers.
Preaching is idle without listeners
and converts.
If you want better times to come,
change the laws which oppress you.
If you want to change these laws,
get your neighbor to see the wrong
which you see.
To do this, put a book into his
hands which will open his eyes.

him work out his own salvation.
