has reached Columbus, the harbinger of
the opening of the business season of 1890-

trade, and we anticipate a very prosperous
season for Columbus.

The Chicago Inter-Ocean is kind enough
to suggest that the Democrats nominate
W. F. Vilas, of Wisconsin, for President,
as “he is by all odds the biggest and brain
iest man in the party.” That's clever in
the Inter-Ocean, but the Democratic party
will decide upon its nominee without the
advice or suggestion from such a source.
THE OUTLOOK FOR COLUMBUS.
The advent of the first bale of cotton of
the new crop is generally regarded as the
opening of the business season, and we
may therefore expect to see a reviving
stimilus in all branches of trade. Colum
bus will enter upon the season with bril
liant prospects of an excellent volume of
business. The summer, which is drawing
to a close, has not been characterized by
special dullness or depression so common
in Southern cities in years past. Indeed
from what we learn our merchants gener
ally have done a very satisfactory business,
and enter upon the new commercial year
under very gratifying auspices.
Since last season Columbus has largely
extended her facilities and increased her
territory, and has recorded many new cus
tomers. Our stock of merchandise will
be complete in every line, many of our
merchants now being absent in New York
and elsewhere making their fall and win
ter purchases, and the best inducemeets
to customers will be offered the people of
East Alabama and this entire section of
Georgia.
There is every reason to anticipate in
creased cotton receipts, and our ware
housemen are preparing for it, and, alto
gether, the outlook is quite promising.
The Enquirer-Sun, with full confidence
in the future of this city, has omitted no
opportunity to keep prominently before the
country the advantages of Columbus as a
trading and manufacturing centre, and a
desirable location for those seeking homes
where social, educational and business ad
vantages are unexcelled.
No city in Georgia has more enterprising
and progressive merchants than Columbus
and they are working together with a
unity of purpose and vigor that argues
well for the future. Through the columns
of the Enquirer-Sun they give practical
evidence, in their well displayed advertise
ments, of ability to meet the wants of
all consumers, and the fact that as a
wholesale and retail market Columbus
offers inducements to trade second to no
other city of its size in the country, Co
lumbus is on the onward march, and is
going ahead with giant strides, and the
Enquirer-Sun has no hesitancy in pre
dicting that, notwithstanding her progress
within the past two years, the increase
of her business and other resources at the
close of the season now Opening will be as
astonishing as it will be gratifying.
THE ELECTION IN ALABAMA.
The election for Governor, State House
officers and members of the General As
sembly of Alabama will take place tomor
row. The campaign, which has been
Short and vigorous, closed last night;
! unity and harmony prevail within
the ranks of the Democracy, save in
a few counties where there are contests for
the Legislature. This is notably the case
in Lee county, but the full Dem-
j ocratic vote will be brought out
and there is every prospect that the Demo
cratic nominees will be elected by a hand
some majority. Our Birmingham corre
spondent pictures a satisfactory condition
of affairs with the Democracy throughout
the State and the prospect of the realiza
tion of the promised majority of 100,000
for Gallant Tom Jones for Governor. So
mote it be.
It is reported that a scheme is On foot
at Cape May, whither the President and
Secretary Blaine have gone, to have an
other statement given to the press con
cerning, that unlucky cottage. Friends of
the President represent him as greatly
worried about the affair, and there are
hints of family jars in consequence of the
series of blunders. The correspondent
who rreported the interview with Mrs.
Harrison, in which she sharply criticised
the Clevelands for dabbling in suburban
real estate, has been sounded as to the
possibility of his having been mistaken in
his publication, but he is sure he was not
mistaken and refuses to sign any state-
to that effect. If the conference at Cape
May is preparing a statement to the public
it should now contain the exact facts,
neither more nor less.
The Census Bureau found in necessary
to appoint special agents to collect statis
tics of manufacturing industries in the
State of Georgia, and three gentlemen
were appointed, one in Atlanta, one in
Augusta and one in Albany.—News and
Advertiser.
Our contemporary is apparently igno
rant of the fact that Columbus is possibly
the largest manufacturing city in Georgia,
and that the special agenc to collect statis
tics of our manufacturing industries was
appointed several weeks ago. One would
judge from the above extract that Augusta,
Atlanta and Albany are the only manu
facturing cities in Georgia, whereas Co
lumbus ranks them all.
In a recent public address, Congressman
Mills handled Reed very severely, as wit
ness the following:
“A bold wretch, occupying one of the
highest positions in the Government, who
tramples under foot the rights of minori
ties and thanks God for the opportunity,
has made of the people’s representative
body a military camp in which the subor
dinates get their orders daily. But that
Saxon spirit which has dethroned kings
and broken scepters will teach him the
lssson which it has taught every usurper
who has attempted to curb it.”
The Sparta Ishmaelite makes the follow
ing appeal:
“Will not the Alliance compromise by
allowing Georgia to have a lawyer for At
torney-General? It will be apiece of great
folly to insist on electing Lester because
he is not lawyer enough to make him ob
noxious to Alliance proscription.”
DANGEROUS CONSPIRATORS.
If the question were submitted to the
several States as a distinct proposition to
abandon the rights reserved to them under
the Constitution and practically surrender
their autonomy to the bosses at Washing
ton the response would come swift enough
and emphatic—never! The States will
wake some day to find that they have been
stripped of their sovereignty without even
being asked, “By your leave, sir.” The
country is now endangered by a band of
conspirators in whose ranks, could he be
there, Cataline would he but a high pri
vate in the rear ranks. The Republican
party, under the leadership of Reed, Quay
and Company, is menacing this free gov
ernment, of the people, by the people and
for the people. They want it essentially of
the Republican party, by its chosen and
corrupt leaders, and for the benefit of the
tariff barons and the party boodlers. What
do these conspirators care for the States or
the people? The legislation of the present
Congress has all tended in the direction of
robbing the States and robbing the people.
Nearly every party move now is an en
croachment upon the domain of State sov-
erignty and a further step towards central
ism. A halt will be called when the peo
ple see the danger in its true light. In
many States North and West they do not
apparently see or realize it now, but the
time is coming when they will awaken
to it.
The Hartford Courant recalls an address
delivered years ago by President Woolsey,
who, although an eminent Republican,
sounded the alarm, and it should ring to
day in the ears of Reed and his conspira
tors. Says the Courant:
“Just after the war the late President
Woolsey—clarum et venerabile nomen!—
gave a room full of Yale seniors a talk
about the constitution of their country
which no one who was there will ever for
get. His manner, always earnest and im
pressive, took on positive solemnity as he
explained the two forces at work in the
system, the centripetal and the centrifugal;
the place and function of each; the neces
sity for both, and the peril of allowing
either to free itself from the check and
counterpoise of the other. Keep the
general government off the constitutional
domain of the States, keep the States off
the constitutional domain of the genera!
government—this was the burden of Dr.
Woolsey’s lecture. In past years, he said,
it had been the duty of intelligent patriot
ism to resist the attacks of an extreme
theory of State sovereignty upon the con
stitutional authority of the general govern
ment. The war had changed all that; it
had set the pendulum swinging toward the
opposite extreme. In the coming years it
would be the diitjjf of intelligent patriots
to resist the tendency to exalt and extend
the authority of the general government
at the expense of the constitutional rights
of the States. President Woolsey’s Re
publicanism was of as sterling a quality as
his scholarship.
LEONIDAS REBUKED.
The Allince is now fairly in the politi
cal swim. This proposition will scarcely
be disputed by any candid and intelligent
Allianceman. But while so many of the
order are seeking office and getting it,
there is down in the ranks a strong ele
ment that resents the doufSe affairs have
taken ( Add the methods of Alliance leaders
and it is beifig heard from. The Putnam
coubby Alliance has adopted the following
resolutions, and furnished them to the
press for publication:
Resolved, That our delegates to the State
Alliance, soon to convene in Atlanta, is
hereby instructed to|use their best efforts to
secure the election of State officers, from
that of President down, who, in his judg
ment, will not use such office for their per
sonal political preferment, and the great
injury of our order.
Second, That the office of President of
the State Alliance of Georgia ought to fill
the full measure of any brother's ambition
and he should in the judgment of his Alli
ance hold himself aloof from partisan pol
itics.
The Sparta Ishmalite, in publishing a
list of the daily papers of the State that
earnestly and persistently opposed the sub
treasury delusion, omits to mention the
Enquirer-Sun. This paper was the first
daily in the State, certainly one of the first,
to sound a note against this impracticable
and impossible measure, and it has neg
lected no opportunity since to emphasize
its views on this subject. Editor Lewis
should read his exchanges more carefully.
The Troy Messenger presents a very
handsome appearance in its new dress, and
the indomitable pluck and energy shown
by its able and elever editor commends it
to the consideration of the citizens of
Troy and Pike county. May the Messen
ger grow in usefulness and continue in the
future, as it has in the past, an influential
factor in tiie advancement of the town and
county.
The New York World makes the follow
ing statement:
Mr. Wanamaker has one practical post
master in his service. It is Mr. George H.
Thompson, of Warren, Wyo. Thompson
says that he cannot afford to sell two cent
postage stamps for two cents. Conse
quently he has marked them up to five
cents, and his bargain counter is not
crowded. The people in and around War
ren are indignant, and are petitioning Mr.
Wanamaker to remove Thompson. As a
practical merchant Mr. Wanamaker will
doubtless sympathize with his Wyoming
postmaster, but the two cent stamp must
be sold for two cents or be withdrawn en
tirely from the market.
The Pittsburg Gazette celebrated its one
hundred and fourth anniversary on Tues
day last by blazing out in a grand new
building, new plant and one of the best
equipped daily newspaper establishments
of the country. It gave interesting pic
tures of its log cabin office 104 years ago
and of its Ramage press, with contrast pic
tures of its present palatial building and its
lightning press.’
THE REPUBLICANS ENCOURAGED.
The present upheaval in Georgia poli
tics has had the effect, among other re"
suits, of stimulating and encouraging
what there is of the Republican party in
this State. The Republican leaders think
there are are signs of demoralization and
dissensions in the Democratic party, and
they are beating the tom-tom and sound
ing the hew-gag for a grand rally along
the line. They are especially hopeful
over the outlook for them in the Ninth,
where they expect to elect Darnell to
Congress, and in the Fifth the people are
threatened with Bullock. , While not so
sanguine as to other districts, it is pot un
likely that a Republican candidate will be
nut out in each of them. The Piedmont
Republican, the leading Republican paper
in Georgia, and the organ of the party,
has the following call for organization in
its last issue:
“If no steps have been taken looking to
organization, Republicans everywhere
should organize, beginning with the mili
tia districts and small towns, and perfect
the same and all details as progress is
made.
No time should be lost.
Organization does not mean conflict
with the Farmers’ Alliance—not at all:
for, as remarked before, the best of the
Alliance principles have long ago been es
poused and enforced by legislation by the
Republican party.
So call county meetings, appoint wide-a
wake, active committees, and get ready
for the coming conflict. The Democracy
(so-called) are demoralized and show un
mistakable signs of alarm.
But whether they are alarmed or not,
we should muster our forces and organ
ize, and hotly and persistently work for
the party and principles we believe to be
right.”
Elsewhere in Georgia Democrats need
to have no apprehension, but in tffie Fifth
and Minth districts it will be well for the
party to keep a vigilant eye on its an
cient enemy. With harmony and proper
organization there is no fear or possibili
ty that the Republican party will ever be
able to hold its head up in this State, but
it is a party that needs watching. While
the Democrats have had a mighty lively
engagement within the party lines, we
are satisfied there will be no friction or
sulking among them in the fail elections.

AT
BARGAIN
BATTLE WITH A MADMAD.
ARMED WITH AN AXE TRIES TO BRAIN
SEVERAL CHILDREN.
Patterson, N. J., August 2.—The
residents of this town were thrown into a
state of wild excitement today when it be
came known that Siebe Heltama, an aged
Hollander, had suddenly been stricken
with insanity. The man was apparently
stricken with the most violent symptoms
of madness, and just at the moment when
he seemed most dangerous, and when sev
eral hundred people were crowded around
him, he sank into insensibility. A few
moments later he expired. Several chil
dren had an escape from death that was
little short of miraculous.
Heltama was a well-known resident of
the town, and at one time was considered
wealthy. He claimed to be a descendant
of the Pilgrim Fathers, and often showed
interesting records bearing on that event.
Recently, however, he met with reverses,
and these only served to add to his bitter
ness. Nothing, however, of a dangeroiis
nature nanifested itself in his ebarcter
until four months ago, when his wife, to
whom he was much attached, died.
The old man plodded along as best he
could, but within the past few days a
startling change was made manifest in his
appearance. He became morose in dispo
sition. and seemed to regard it as a per
sonal insult when any one attempted even
to address him. During the last few days
this element of his character became more
apparent.
No one, however, believed until yester
day that he would ever attempt any act of
violence. Heltama, however, with the
cunning born of lunatics, had been appa
rently biding his time. Early in the morn-
tile madness overcame him. and he
started out. with the intention of killing
all with whom he came in contact.
Several little children were playing on
the sidewalk in front of liis residence
when Heltama appeared, with a package
of candy in each hand. With this he tri* d
to entice the young ones into the house,
with the intention, as would appear from
subsequent proceedings, of killing them.
The children, however, who were fright
ened at his wild looks, refused to enter the
house, whereupon the madman, with a
smile intended to be reassuring, re-entered
his residence and closed the door.
Some of the children who had been par
ticularly frightened by the man’s appear
ance returned to their homes and ac
quainted their parents with what they had
seen. This resulted in a number of women
and men running to the place, in order to
prevent possible violence. They were none
too soon, as just when they arrived the
door of Heltama’s house opened, and he
appeared, armed with a murderous looking
ax. He at once rushed upon the children
who were playing on the sidewalk, with
the evident intention of killing them.
Immediately a loud outcry was raised,
and the residents of houses in the vicinity
rushed out to ascertain the cause. The
ax was about descending on the head of a
four-year-old child, but fortunately, it was
interscepted by one of the women, who,
for a few brief moments had a lively
struggle with the madman. Just as she
was about being over-powered, several m n
came to her assistance, and the rnani. c
was caught by a dozen of hands.
Heltama was finally carried into his

of the door, but this only seemed to give

fiercely with his captors. The position

died in fearful agony. The body will be
interred tomorrow.
