Col. Livingston said that he was
not a stranger here, as he had
known the people of Griffin long, bavin,
lived only twenty-eight miles away. He
had been voting for Spalding county men,
Stewart, Boyntou, Hall and others. They
might find out about him by going to his

which can be seen. It was all open to the
world. Nothing he had done was he

AN INDIGNANT PROTEST AGAINST MIS
REPRESENTATION OF THE IRISH.
Dublin, October 30.—The United Ire
land publishes an article today in which
it discredits the reports that Mr. Balfour
while, on his tour through the west of Ire
mauds she communicated the facts in the
ease to the l’rocureor at Ataulor. An offi
cial inquiry was made in the matter and
the arrests followed.
DON T WANT THEM TO VOTE.
Lincoln, Neb., October 30.—E. E.
Thomas, of Omaha, applied to the Su
preme Court for an injunction restraining
some 000 recently naturalized citizens of
Ohio from attempting to cast their votes j
at the next election, and the several j
judges of election of that city from receiving j
such votes if offered. The claim made by j
the relator was that the Personal Rights j
League, an anti-prohibition organ z ition, !
had paid the fees required for the nat- j
uralization of these parties, and that I
therefore this action amounted to bribery.
The court refused to take jurisdiction in i
the case, and the papers were allowed to
be withdrawn without filing. It is under
stood they will present the question to the
court again, but in another form.
THE NEW ORLEANS ITALIAN ASSASSINS

St. Louis, Mo., October 30.—The po

implicated in the assassination of Chief
Hennessy, have fled from their hiding
places in New Orleans. It is reported
that they left for St. Louis, and are now
probably in hiding in this city.
AN ADVANCE IN EXPRESS RATES.
Chicago, October 30.—The committee
of the express companies appointed to re
vise the freight tariff has finished its work,
aud a circular has been sent out notifying
the shippers of merchandise by express of

takes effect November 1, and is based on
an advance of 50 cents per 100 pounds be

paper says that if the forbearance of
the people from expressing their feeling
against Mr. Balfour is to be malignantly
misconstrued, some of them may be pro
voked to make things quite plain by giv

with which he is regarded by the Irish
people.
HOW GERMANY PROTECTS HER CITIZENS.
London, October 30.—Advices from
Mombasa state that !HX) seamen and ma

Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov’t Report, Aug. 17, 1889.
Baking
Powder
ABSOLUTELY PURE
He said a new issue had been brought
out in the last ten years—the financial
question. Both parties, in all
their platforms, have attempted to
solve this question. The same
feeling prevails in all the North and South
on this question. There should be no
taxation except when necessary for eco
nomical government. That is the broad
platform upon which all can stand, he
didn’t care whether they were white or
black. No one can deny that the people
should not be taxed above the necessary
demands of the Government. When a
man gets more money than is necessary,
he will spend it foolishly. So with the
Government. Taxes should rest
all persons equally. When taxation
exceeds tiie demands of the Government
it is a burden. The taxes are not properly
adjusted among the people. The present
system puts larger taxes on the articles
consumed by the poor classes and less on
the wealthy. The McKinley bill takes off
10 per cent, on diamonds; window glass
is taxed enormonsly. It taxes the neces
sities and lets diamonds come free. Salt,
bread and clothing are taxed heavily.
Men who use and buy the necessities of
life ought to rise up and put their feet on
it. Altar of roses is free, but castor oil
is taxed 65 per cent., which every family
keeps. The policy of the McKinley bill
is to fasten its taxes on the necessities of
Lhe people, aud It should be rebuked at
the polls.
If business increases and the population,
increases, money must be increased. If
the currency was sufficient for the coun
try we could stand the taxation. All en
terprises must go on, and the money must
be provided for them all. Here comes the
cotton in three months. We have got to
have enough money to handle it above
the usual amount. Currency is nothing
but Government credit. I don’t fight the
national banks. A bill is good just be
cause the Government is behind it. Should
that credit come to only some people?
Should it not come to all? The Government
issues money at 1 per cent to banks aud
they loan it out at 8 per cent. They re
fuse to loan on real estate. Make it equal.
Some other measures I deplore. There
seems to be an idea that we are a bad set
down South.
THE FORCE BILL DENOUNCED.
Col. Livingston then condemned the
election, or Force bill. It had as much in-
fernalism in it as any measure ever put
before a people. It is intended to stir up
a sectional and race strife in the South,
and would live like a hyena off that which
stinks and rots.
He then spoke of John Livingston. He
said: “He wrote to know what our people
thought of it. I wrote him we did not
want it because it brings strife and deep
ens and widens the difference between the
sections. As long as sectional issues pre
vail business would be bridled by the
monopoly. John Livingston says he wrote
me at my instance. The whole thing is a
forgery. His circular has been spread all
over the country.”
“As to the sub-Treasury plan, it has
been charged that I said to vote for no
man that does not approve the sub-treas
ury bill. I have never done it. I never
have said not to vote for professional men.
I don’t know why these reports have been
circulated except to help Haight. I am a
no minority of the Democratic party. The
verdict has been made up, and all should
abide the nomination. All enterprises and
people shall receive my attention. I shall
know no section or classes.”
HE IS A DEMOCRAT.
Col. Livingston read a circular calling
him the Alliance candidate for Congress.
‘It is false,” he said, “I am the Derno-
ratic candidate.” He summed up his
platform as follows: “We want less tax
ation. We want a financial system that
will tend to give the country a
plenty of money to do its busi
ness. We -j want no sectional
laws in favor of one class against another
class—equal privileges to all, special privi
leges to none.” He appealed to the Dem
ocratic vote of the country, and also to
the colored people, showing that all
Southern people, white aud black, should
stand together. He said his untiring and
never ceasing efforts will be for the people.
He said he was not fighting Gov. Gordon.
He had not worked against him, as he had
friends on both side of the Senatorial
question.
“The Democratic party stands upon
measures and not men. The Democrats
will vote next Tuesday for me, not as a
person, but as an embodiment of the prin
ciples of the Democratic party.”
THE MEXICAN REPRISAL.
THE RUMORED CATTLE DUTY NOT YET
CONFIRMED.
Washington, October 30.—The Depart
ment of State is without information re
specting the alleged imposition by Mexico
of a discriminating duty of $500 per car
load on American cattle which is reported
from the West. Acting Secretary Adee
says that when the Mexican Government,
by a decree issued a year ago, increased the
duties on imported cattle and swine,
which, by the way, were general duties and
not directed especially against the United
States, the Department of State was in
formed of the action within twenty-four
hours, and while he cannot deny the last
reported action he is compelled to doubt it.
NICKEL STEEL ARMOR.
THE NAYY DEPARTMENT MOVING SLOWLY
ABOUT ADOPTING IT.
Washington, October 30.—The Navy
Department is moving with great circum
spection in the matter of adopting nickel
steel armor for its vessels. The Annapolis
tests appeared to be conclusive as to the
merits of that particular nickel steel plate
by comparison with all steel and compound
plates, but the Ordnance Bureau has not
yet been entirely convinced that it should
proceed at once to adopt the alloyed plates
as a standard. The plate which was tested
was of foreign manufacture, and it may
be that, even if an adequate supply
of nickel is obtained, the domestic
manufacturers cannot succeed in making
an alloyed plate that will equal in resisting
power the plate tried at Annapolis.
It may be that, if a successful process
is discovered, its manufacture will be in
ordinately expensive. These matters must
A COURT DECISION AGAINST A MONOPOLY
IN GAMBLING.
Chicago, October 30.—Last summer
Ed Corrigan, proprietor of the West Side
race track, caused the arrest of a number
of city pool sellers for violating the State
law and city ordinance forbidding the sale
of pools except within the enclosure of
race courses. One of these cases came up
for a final hearing before Judge Tully to
day in the Circuit Court, and the Judge
rendered a decision to the effect that the
statute and the ordinance under it are un
constitutional, because they tend to give
special privileges and to create a monopoly
of gambling. These laws, he found, are
similar to those in New York and Louis
iana, and his decision was in accordance
with the decisions already rendered in
those States. Judge Tuley stated that the
law gave the power of the suppression of
pool selling and gambling to the Mayor
and authori ie ?, but no authority was con
tained therein for the regulation thereof.
The framers of the ordinance, therefore,,
have acted beyond their authority and the
police have the right only to prohibit the
sale of pools.
The city will take an appeal from the
decision. In 1 he meantime there is noth
ing to prevent po >1 selling at will in this
city, unless the general State law against
gambling can be made to apply. Over
two hundred suits similar to the one de
cided today are on the docket. They will
not be heard, pending the action of the
higher court.

AN ATTEMPTED SAFE ROBBERY.
THE BURGLARS FOILED BY A TIMI
LOCK.
Olivette, S. D., October 30.—A rob
bery was attempted at an early hoar yes
terday morning on the Hutchinson county
treasury at this place. The burglars made
a hole through the brick wall of the vault
and secured an entrance. The outer doors
of the safe, which was in the vault, had
been left open on account of some trouble
of the combination lock, and the inner
doors were opened by blowing the lock to
pieces with powder. Behind these doors
was the money chest guarded by a time
lock and containing over $6,0C0. The ef
forts of the burglars to open it were with
out avail, and they were evidently driven
away by the approach of daylight. Iu a
small wooden drawer was $327 in cash and
$2,300 in warrants, which were taken

by one of the numerous persons he has
personally offended at this meeting, and a

men and officers of the club to prevent
severe bodily harm being done to him.

New York, October 30.—Judge Pratt,
of the Supreme Court, sitting in Brooklyn
today, heard argument in the Sugar Trust
case upon a motion for the appointment
of a receiver. Judge Pratt reserved his
decision, but he modified the injunction
so as to allow the publication of the plan of
reorganization and financial statement. The
plan provides for the issue of $25,000,000 7
per cent preferred stock, $25,000,000 iu
common stock, and $10,000,000 in bonds,
to be secured by mortgage on the prop

contracts. The selling was pretty brisk
during the first hour, but when
it was seen that the mar
ket was steady at the decline, and
that port receipts promised to be compara
tively small, the “shorts” took alarm. The
steadiness with which values have been
supported in the face of an accumulation
of adverse influences, made the bears cau
tious, and sent them to cover contracts with
more eagerness than they have shown in
some time. The weather in the South is
favorable to picking. Prices South were
barely steady, with Memphis and Char
leston l-16c lower. Spot cotton was
steady, with a fair demand for home
consumption.

Chicago, October 30.—Wheat—There

higher than yesterday for May deliveries,
while December was unchanged.
Corn.—The trading was of fair volume
and the feeling developed firmer, especi
ally on near futures. The fiirst trades
were at £c decline, but under
good demand, strength iu the near
futures being the feature, advanced half a
cent, reacted j-c, sold up another j-c, or at
55 Je for May, when there was some selling
against privileges, and prices receded,
ruled firmer, and closed with a gain for
the day of 4 to f c.
Oats were traded in fairly, but a steady
feeling prevailed for May, but October was
weaker. Price changes were small as
result of local influences, and the closing
sales for the day were at 4 to l advance
over yesterday’s.
Mess Pork—The trading was only mod-
rate. The opening sales were made at
243 decline, but a temporary rally of 24 to

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
FREIGHT REBATES HELD TO BE AN UN
JUST DISCRIMINATION.
Des Moines, la., October 30.—The Su
preine Court has affirmed the decision of
the Jasper District Court giving Cooke &
Wheeler, the stock dealers of Newton,
judgment against the Chicago, Rock
Island aud Pacific railroad for $2,750.
The case is important to stock dealers
;enerally. The railroad was in the habit
of giving certain favore 1 shippers a secret
rebate on freights paid on each car.
Cooke & Wheeler proved the existence of
this rebate system and the court held tha'
it was an unjust discrimination aud that
the plaintiffs had been over-charged an
amount on each car they shipped equal to
the rebate given other parties.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS.
THE DEAD OF THE JEANNETTE EXPEDI
TION HONORED.
Annapolis, Ind., October 30.—A num
oer of naval officers in Washington decided
o erect at the Naval Academy cemetery,
it Annapolis, a monument to their heroic
comrades of the Jeaunette exploring ex
pedition of 1881. Responses to appeals
for contributions to the fund were boti
numerous and generous, and the mouu
neut was iu due time erected, and it wa:
unveiled today. So far as has been prac
ticable, the design of the monument fol
iows that of one erected in Lena Delta,
where perished many of the men whosi
uemory it is designed to perpetuate. Its
base is 22 feet long, 12 feet wide, and 10
f jet high. It is built irregularly, of shapeo
pieces of granite, s'rongly cemented to
'ether. The upper portion is constructed:
>f white marble, except a bronze anchoi
hat rests against the foot ot a cross. On
■ach face of the die is a bronze
-.ablet, one bearing the names of tli
lead, and on the other, this inscrip
don: “Commemorative of the heroii
■fforts and men of the United States Navy
who perished in the Jeannette exploring
ixpedition of 1881.” An ice-covered cros-
welve feet high surmounts the whole. A
listinguished party of officers were presen
it the ceremony of the uuveiling. Prof
lames R. Soley, assistant secretary of tin
Navy, delivered the address.
A BLOODY AFFRAY.

publican ticket for Congress from this dis

The bodies were brought to Somerset.
ANOTHER MILITARY SENSATION.
BUT IT FAILS TO CREATE MUCH EXCITE
MENT.
Atlanta, October 30.—[Special.]—An
ittempt to make a sensation out of a call
for a meeting of the Gate City Guards be
cause it was signed “A. C. Snead, Captain
Commanding,” seems to fall flat. The
Journal says it is an open defiance of tiie
authorities on the part of the Guards, but
Capt. Snead says it was entirely uninten
tional on the part of the First Sergeant,
who wrote the notice as usual. The point
is urged that Col. Calhoun was not elected
legally to that position. This Col. Cal
houn explodes. He holds that his com
mission was regularly issued.
MURDERED BY BURGLARS.
Pesth, October 30.—The house occu

murdered by the thieves.
SNOW AT KNOXVILLE.
Knoxville, Tenn., October 30.—There
was a heavy fail of snow this morning, the
first of the season in the city, though the
mountains have been covered for some
days. The snow fell for two hours, but
melted as fast as it fell. The weather is
warmer tonight, with heavy clouds,
threatening rain.
CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSIONERS i
CLERKS AN EXAMPLE.
W as in n gton, October 30.—A well
known Republican leader, not now in
iffice, but prominently connected with the
Congressional campaign committee, has
received from Theodore Roosevelt, a civil
service commissioner, a contribution of
$50 to be used for legitimate campaign ex
penses in any Congressional district where
it is needed. Ex-Gov. Hugh Thompson,
also a member of the commission, has sent
n a contribution in aid of the Democratic
cause.
In a conversation today, Roosevelt said
“There is no reason why, under a Repub
iican administration, all contributions
should be made to the Republican cam
paign fund, aud under a Democratic ad
ninistration they should all be to the
Democratic fund. Clerks are as much at
liberty to contribute to one party as to an
other, and they are perfectly safe and free
.0 make no contribution if they so prefer.
Within the classified service, the em
ployes are under obligation to no
party. Governor Thompson is a Demo
crat serving under this administration.
He makes a contribution to aid his party,
l am a Republican. 1 aid mine. If we
lid not want to contribute, we would not.
Vo one can force a Government employe
.0 contribute, nor, if he desires to con-
-ribute, compel him to contribute to this
party rather than that. That
ill there is in the question,
jxcept that no employe shall
solicit directly or indirectly "from any
other employe, and none shall give or take
from auolker employe. If there are polit
ical clubs of which the Government eui
pioyes are members, there is no reason
■viiy they should not be Democratic as
well as Republican. But any of them will
)v. prosecuted if we have evidence of their
lying to force contributions by intimida
lion.”
THE FRENCH TARIFF.
THE MINISTER OF COVIMERCE EXPLAINS
ITS PROVISIONS.
Paris, October 30.—Reche, Minister ot
Commerce, explained the new tariff bill to
he tariff committee today. The object of
the maximum and minimum system, hi
said, was to avoid inconveniences connec-
ed with the most “ favored nation” clause
in any treaty with a foreign power. The
iovernmant might make a bad bargain in
granting the benefits in such clause to a
notion yielding but slight advantages to
France, but under the present bili
my country getting the minimum tariff
privileges must grant considerable reduc
’.ions in exitsing duties, besides placing
France iu as favorable a position as an>
ither nation. Tiie Government reserved
he right to decide whether the minimum
ariff privileges should he granted for a
axed period or for an unlimited period.
In a discussion on tiie budget in tile
Chamber of Deputies today, Pellelan re
proached the Government for creating
resh taxes, and demanded economic re
orras. If such reforms were refused, he
iaid, no basis would remain upon which

Premier DeFreycinct replied that every
Kissible reduction had already been et
ected anil that the first revision of the

DeRoulde moved to refer the budget
lack to the committee. The motion was
•ejected by a vote of 345 to 33.
A motion by Gaiilard, Radical, request
ing the Government to introduce a bill
reforming the assessment of taxes in a
Democratic sense was carried by a vote ot
156 to 34.
THE INIQUITOUS McKINLEY BILL.
Mexico’s commercial relations with
THE UNITED STATES.
The following editorial clipped from the
Mexican Financier, published at the City
of Mex Co. a marked copy of which was r, -
ceived by the Enquirer sun yesterday,
will be read with much interest:
In the filial enactment into law of the
McKinley tariff bill the American advo
cates of protection have won tlieir great
ist triumph. The civil war ended a quar
ter of a century ago, but today there
stands on the American statute book a
ariff measure wiiicli goes beyonii
the most audacious desires 01
,he framers of tiie war tariff. The
oddest of the statesmen who framed a rev
enue law to meet the necessities of the
Government in times of civil strife, nevei
dreamed that, long afLer peace had re
amed to the laud, the customs duties
would be advanced on hundreds of articles
if daily need among the enormous popula
tion of the great Republic. But the pro
.ected manufacturers of the country, grow
ng rich and powerlul under the artitieia.
stimulus of a tariff devised to meet spi ciai
and pressing necessities, have proven
strong enough to bend the Govern
ment to thjir will, and, in tim. s
of lhe profouudest tranquility, to enact a
lariff law which, it seems to us and to all
lispassionate observers, could only be jus
tified by the most urgent needs of a nation
.n the midst of a great war. The oold-
less, the reckless audacity, of the Ameri
can protectionists, have won them a great
victory. The gigantic trusts of the United
States will now be able to advance their
prices on the daily necessities of life and
extort from the peopie a tribute beyond the
dreams of Roman statesmen in Republican
or imperial times. It was only the other day
that Senator Sherman, ex-Secretary of the
United States Treasury, stood up in his
place in the upper chamber and warned
the trusts not to take advantage of the
contemplated tariff law to advance their
prices; but the eminent statesman might
as well have tried to whistle down the
wind. The trusts will continue to apply
the screws to the people, and in the next
Presidential election a portion of the
money wrung from the people will be used
to carry again into power the candidate 01
the trusts. But this is a matter that con
cerns the American people in their domes
tic policy; if they prefer a condition of
economic bondage, of subjection to huge
semi-corporations, or leagues of corpora
tions, it is strictly their own affair.
In another place we begin to publish a
synopsis of the new tariff law so far as it
affects exports from this country. In some
respects the new law is injurious to Mex
ican interests; notably so is the heavy tax
placed on the importation of cattle into
the United States. The duty placed on
wool will make no difference to Mexican
wool growers; their export trade to the
United States, a trade mutually
profitable to the carpet makers
of Philadelphia and the hacen-
dados of the Northern States of
this Republic, was killed several years
ago by a decision of the United States
Treasury Department. With these excep
tions noted, we fine many provisions ben
eficial to Mexico. True, the heavy, pro-
hibitiory duty on argentiferous lead ores
was not devised for the benefit of this
country, but its practical effect will be to
erect on Mexican soil a number of large
smelters, thus promoting one of the chief
aims of the Department of Public Works
of this country. The greatest
harm inflicted by the tariff is on
European manufacturers and we believe
that the Loudon Times is entirely right iu
declaring that the law was passed in an
unfriendly spirit towards Great Britain.
Whether the United States can afford lo
provoke the anger of its largest customer
iu the way of food products remains to be
seen; certainly the English have now
very reason to encourage the Argentine
meat trade, and the importation of Rus
sian and Indian wheat in preference to
favoring American producers. But we are
really concerned only with the law as it
affects Mexican interests.
The law exempts from duties many
characteristic products of Mexico such as
henequen, rubber, vegetable fibres, hides,
iudigo, coffee and sugar. Tin, which is
beginning to be produced in Durango, is
free. The duty on silver-lead ores will, as
we have said, result in building up lhe
smelting interest on Mexican soil, and for
this we must thank the Colorado lead
miners, Mr. Windom aud Mr. McKinley.
Unwittingly, they have done Mexico a
handsome turn. The provisions of the
bill relating to placing diuies in
the future on coffee, sugar, molasses,
etc., from countries not specially favoring
American exports in their tariff laws,
need give us no uneasiness here, for Mex
ico is already treating with marked liber
ality many important branches of Ameri
can manufactures. Commercial retalia
tion is as good a weapon in the hands of
Mexico as of the United States. We do
not think that the American Government
will endeavor to force the Mexican Gov
ernment to adopt a hostile commercial
policy.
The new American tariff we believe to
be based on a totally wrong principle; it is
t measure for the restriction of intercourse
with foreign nations; it is against the pro-
ressive and liberalizing tendencies of the
age. We believe that the American
people will, within a few
years, revolt against an econom
ical system which makes a vast
oopulation tributary to the trusts, which
mgers the best foreign buyers of Ameri
can food products, and which handicaps
American manufacturers in their endeav
ors to build up foreign trade. It is indeed
istonishing, in these latter years of the
century, to see the freest nation on earth
leliberately imitating the Chinese, Wash
ington taking lessons from lVkin !
