The Chattahoochee Valley Exposition,

and in every other way, that ever toot
place in the history of expositions. From
that glorious morning of the opening,
Thursday, November 15, to yesterday’s
dose, it was one continuous sue jess.
Much, if not all, of the success of the
show is due to the untiring exertions, the

The attractions provided were unani

the various features of the programme

comment. How the attractions were

BURGLARY AT SEALE,
And Other Note* from Our Lively Little
Alabama Neighbor.
Seale, Ala, Dec. L—Last night the res
idence of T. H. Beauchamp, on Giennviile
street, was burglar.zed. On investigation,
there was nothing missing except the coat
and pants of Mr. Beauchamp, containing
a pocket-knife, bunch of kevs and a few
papers, which are worthless to the present
{assessor. The thief entered through *he
parlor window, and, as Mr. Beauchamp is
a man of clear conscience and a sound
sleeper, he was not disturbed by the pil
fering. No clue to the burglar.
Mr. W. C Guerry, who has so ably and
courteously served the people as Postmas
ter at this place, has resigned, tuci-eeded
by Miss Minnie Ls vis, wh i is in every re
spect competent to till the position.

The committee will so m consider the

The feeling of distrust among members
of the Reichstag regarding appropriations
for armaments is oa the increase. The
debate brought out the reminder that last
absence curtailed, in consequeuee or news
paper discussions. He was eceived iu an
audience by Emperor Francis Josepn yes
terday, wnen he Wets instructed to return
to his post.
Tue origin of the dispute is trace idle to
an article in a Vienna paper, the $euwarz-
geld, iu which the writer indulged in
coar-e abuse of Germany, especially re
ferring to the enmity of Crown Prince
Rudolph toward Emperor William.
Reports current in Vienna attrioute
the breach of former friendsaip between
Prince Rudelph and E nperor william to
communications whicn, it is asserted, gave
veroal criticism by Prince Rudolpn ou the
E nperor’s family relation. Tnese coin
munications are said to have reacaed
Emperor William from London.
A personal quarrel certainly exists, but
it is not probable that it will on allowed to
interfere with national in i-—u.s.*

Legislative Note*.
In the Senate to day President Hargrove
introduced and had passed a bill in favor of
Dr. Brice, of the asylum, to a certain extent
! exempting him from summons in crimi
nal cases where insanity is the plea. »o
1 much of his time is taken up in things of
( tms sort, and ne is called upon so often to
atten^ trials at distant places, that .this
bill was recommended by the trustees.
; Col. Hargrove takes a deep interest in this
asylum, and it is another evidence of his
benevolence aud philanthropy.
Tne Senator from M >oiie called up also
I before that body a oill to exempt from i
taxation a hundred aud sixty thousand of
bonds to be issued by Mobile county.
A bill to provide more specifically for
the redemption of lands sold for taxes,
upon affidavit ot the real owner, by peti
tion to tne Prooate Judge, is a good meas
ure, and very much simplifies the preseut
; method. It passed the Senate to-aiy.
Tnis body shows a disposition, waich is
commendable, to print all the more im
portant bills, particularly those iu refer
ence to finance aud taxation, letting them
lie over for examination. It would be
well for noth houses.
To-day I heard some State officials
whistling over what r hey conceived a set
tled disposition of the House not to de
crease tne rate of taxation, but to keep it
uo and enlarge the system of puolic educa
tion. Tnere is muen feeling about tnis
matter, and I predict stern opposition
from what is cailed tbe black belt, unless
at the same time the colored brother is
made to settle his part of the account.
Mr. Pitts, of Perry, is one of the hand
somest members ot the House
sation.
As Graham was leaving the House a
; member shouted, “Bravo, Graham.”
Iu au interview Graham explained that
the trouble arose over the action of
Brooks Robinson, Conservative member
for Dudley, in putting a motion on paper
: to prevent discussion upon the cabin-
j makers’ grivances. Graham had charac
terized this as a dishonable trick, and had
expressed tue belief that the Government
; bad instigated Robinson to perform it.
( He had refused to withdraw thisstatement,
and hence bis dismissal. Graham says he
; will not apologize, uo matter what the
1 result may be.

Members of the Rjichstag now ask for
what reason the Government declares that
not a single ship is equal to modern re
quirements.
I’he budget is destined to a closer scru
tiny and more opposition thau seemed

The Liebknecht’s denunciation of the
Government’s foreign policy has found no
sympathetic criticism even in the Pro
gressist organs.
But his criticism of the invalid work
men’s insurance project will assuredly
have an influence in moiifyiug the bill.
A mijority of the tnemoers of the Reich
stag agree that the auuuify secured to an
invalid or aged workmaa is insufficient.
Numerous petitions, signed by many
thousands of workmen, have been pre
sented to the Reichstag protesting against
both the meagreness of the aunuity aud
the lateness of the age—seventy years—
when it is claimable. Workmen ci-cles
also fiercely oppose the system proposeo,
that each workman should carry a book
for the recording of payments, as apt to
become a dangerous weapon in the hands
of nostile employers.
In consequence of tbe general dislike, the
measure will be withdrawn or altered, f he
report that the Government intended to
close tne session in February and to dis
solve the House early in Autumn, is ob
taining currency among Progresiionists
and Centrists, but is discredited Oy the
Government groups.
Ryekert, accepting the report as proba
ble, said he deemed the time opportune
for the introduction of a motion t > tne
effect that the Federal Governments
instruct their ageQts to maintain a more
strict observance of the electoral
law. He supported tbe motion by
citing numerous arbitrary arrests,
during the last election, of distributors
of voting papers, and others engaged in

to a mass of the anarchism of Chicagw, not
withstanding they have sole control and
direction of the movement of the organi
zation They work with other anar bists
individually and not as a body, and hold
their identity sacredly secret. This plan
was adopted because of the failure of the
Central organization plan, which brought
Spies and Parsons and the others to the
gallows.
This sirt of “invisible” head wo:k was
begun about a year ago, and prognissed
very slowly at first, but-as soon as the Rev
olutionists tully realized that there was a
directing fountain head,they rallied around
the revolutionary standard, and du.ing the
past few mouths the work of preparing for
a revolution has been going forward wita
great activity. Aside from the majority of
thirty-two organizations affiliating with
the Central Lihor I’nion, the invisible
committee bas been propagating the revo
lutionary cause through a number of an
archist societies, prominent atnoug which
is the newly-formed Aroeitor-liund, the
Arpasons Assembly No. 1, the reorganiza
tion of the expelled Knights of Labor As
sembly No. 1307, of which Par
sons was a leading member,
the S icislistio PublHniog Society,
which owns aud c minis tue Arboiler
Zjitung, on the cu umunistic pi »n, and
tne \V >rkingmen’s Defense Association,
which raised the money to defend ilronck
and his follow-conspirators, are also active
in the work. Tne plan of campiign, as
nearly as it nas been e mipreben ied by the
public, is, so far as puolic associations and
meetings are c mcerned, to teach anarchy,
to croare in the minds of Swialists a
hatred of the law aud la w offi urs, aud to
inspire a spirit of revenge for the exjeu-
tion of Sines and his comrades. fn<yr
teachings are carried out by speeonos

distributed amongtbo.se pr.-sent, who were
supposed to be true to tbe cause. Tue
circular purports to have been printed in
1883 at Pittsburg, hut that is a deception.
Tue orig.nai was issued by the C mgr ;.s* of
“International Working People’s Assixsia-
tiou,” October 16, 1833, but luose editions
were exnausied long ago. A new batch
has been printed in close imitation ot the
old one, aud is being distributed in the
interests of anarchy.
The Arbieter Bund has a public career
of less than ten days, but its projectors
have been at work secretly for sometime,
and matured a plan of propagating anar
chy under the cover of the labor m >vc-
inent, very much on the pian of two years
ago, wnicn culminated iu the terrible
slaughter at the Haymarket. Tnen it was
that the Rids espoused the eight hour
movement—not baeause they believed in
it, but because it was the sensation of the
day, nnd they were compelled to fall in
with it. It was then arranged for a gen-
ersl strike on May 1, in the eigat nour
cause, and the anarchists p:epared their
bombs and got ready for inaugurating a
social revolution on that day. Tue result
is fresh in the minds of all.

blood and wasting the country’s treasury
in projects wnich would result in uo good
to any Uuman being. Tne G>vernm«nt
ought either to induce the Egyptian Gov
ernment to abandon tbe situation or
England ought to make a more serious
attempt to suppress the siave trade and
introduce civilizing forces into the
Soudan.
Sir James Ferguson, Parliamentary Sec
retary to the Foreign Office, replied that
the present Government was not responsi
ble for the waste of the trea*ure and olood
in tbe Soudan. The advice sent to the
Egyptian Government was to maintain
purely a defensive policy, with as small a
force as possible, aud to devote its funds
to the internal development of th coun
try. But a defensive policy did not imply
a surrender of Suakirn, wnich would leave
the country overrun with Arabs. In the
surrender of Suakim the only station
would be given up from which ships could
operate*on the Red sea coast for the sup-
pre-sion of the slave trade. “Surely,” said
Sir James, “Moreley dll not seriously sug
gest tbe aoosoiute abandonment of Sia-
kim.”
Recurring to the slave trade, the speaker
said tnat he was a ole to’ intimate that the
Government Had prop >sed to Belgium to
initiate fresh references to the powers on
the lines indicated by Cardinal Lovigene,
with a view of mitigating the evil. It was
the policy of the Governmeutlto encour
age eommefte with Central and East
Africa. The development of commerce
was the best method of combatting the
siave traffic. If the road was pashed into
the interior so that cheap and easy trans-
j portation was available, the system of
slave porterage would no longer be profit
able. He trusted that the House would
support the work promising such a bless
ing to humanity. [Cheers.]

An Obstreperous lorunkard.
Officer Hill, while off duty yesterday
afternoon, observed a drunken man,
named Amos Little, acting in a disorderly
manner out near the City Park. The offi-
at which its delegates ; representing the
various trades assemblies throughout the
country, will endeavor to fix upon some
day in 1890 for another eight hour strike.
The anarchists appear to have already
foreseen their opportunity, and besides
doing all they can to ferment the strike
into national disorder, they will no doubt
be ready with tneir born os and other ma
chines of destruction in order to make an-
oth -r attempt at setting up preparations
both here and in New York to prevent it.
However, yiis may be, ihere is strong
ground for expecting an outbreak on the
occasion of the first labrr strike tnat
as*unes anything like national pr>p»r-
tions.
George Schilling was asked last evening
if he expected another outbreak as the re
sult of the existing revoluti jnary forces,
and he said: “I expect somethin.- of the
kind about the end of the present century,
say iu ten years. So iety is just now dor
mant-like. A new social system is gener
ally the accepted plan, and it is for tue ac
complishment of this end mat tne work
of public agitation has been resumed. The
police, however, have quite anotner idea.
They have been informed, as stated some
time ago, that the anarchists will make
another destructive demonstration on the
100th anniversary of the fall of the bastile,
which occurrs in Juiynext and theautnor-
ities are making a river frozen in the win
ter time, but some night tnere will be a
mighty crack in tbe ice, and under the
warming influences of the revolutionary
forces there will oe a mighty upheaving.
There will be no doubt a squall or two
before that time, but the great event
will not come, in my judgment, much
sooner. There will be lots of men and wo
men who will not be able to see beyond
the squalL, and they will think the time
bas come. It will arrive not as the result
of a conspiracy of anarchists, but as the
conspiracy of all the revolutionary forces
of society.”
Hron^k Found Guilty.
Chicago. Dec. 1.—The trial of Hronek,
the dynamiter, on trial for conspiracy
to blow up Judges Gary and Grennei and
Inspector Bonfield, ended to night. At
the conclusion of the argument this even
ing Judge Collins at once charged jury.
“Every presumption,” said the judge, “is
in favor of the prisoner. If the jury oelieve
dynamite came into tne possession of the
prisoner prior to the passage of the
law which was passed July 1,
1887, aad under which he was
indicted they must bring ia a verdict of
acquittal. . They must be satisfied that tae
prisoner procured the dynamite since the
ahove date with felonious intent to destroy
human life, in order to convict.” The
Judges charge was quite lengthy, audits
reading occupied fully half an h jot. At
ten minutes past 9 the jury retired.
Twelve minutes to lo the announcement
was made that the jury had agreed. The
attorneys hurriedly returned; the specta
tors’ seats quickly filled, up; the Ju ige
took his seat; tne prisoner was brougnt iu,
and the jury tiled in and took their seats.
