THE LEGISLATIVE ADJOURNMENT.
The Christmas holiday has terminated
the winter session of the Legislature, and
our law-makers liave dispersed to their
homes, not to assemble again until next
July. It would not be fair, perhaps, to
judge the Legislature by what they has
thus far accomplished, or failed to accom
plish, as the greater part of the session is
yet ahead. It may yet go into history as
the best Legislature Georgia ever had, and
it is entitled to a showing. Up to this
time, it has not been guiltless of bad legis
lation, but it was not expected that it
would be perfect. It has shown itself hon
est, faithful, able, and patriotic. Most of
the members went to the capital without
experience in legislation, and unfamiliar
with parliamentary business. The winter
session has given them some training, and
they will go back to their public duties
next summer better fitted to discharge
them. In the matter of curtailing the
session, they liave disappointed some
who expected the farmers’ Legislature
to get through its work
forty-days, but those who know anything
about legislative business under the pres
ent methods are not surprise!, because they
did not expect a farmers’ Legislature to
accomplish impossibilities. They can
still, however, make a record by shorten
ing the summer session, and that the peo
ple will expect, and they have a right to
expect it. The State will look for great
things to come out of the summer session.
In the meantime, we wish eur Solons a
happy Christmas and a prosperous New
Y'ear that will send them back to the Cap
itol in a proper frame of mind to give the
people safe and sound legislation.
DISCRIMINATING FOOTPADS.
THE BETTERMENTS COMMISSION.
The Legislature has at last taken the
betterments question by the horns, and
that troublesome matter is now on the way
to a final settlement. The submission of
the claims of the lessees to the commission
appointed by Governor Northern will, we
believe, meet the approval of the people of
Georgia. The men selected for this re
sponsible work are in every way qualified
for it, and their high character, ability and
personal integrity are a sufficient guaran
tee that their finding will be a just and
proper one. Indeed, the personnel of the
Commission, is of itself calculated to allay
any apprehension on the part of the peo
ple that the State will be juggled out of
money that it does not rightfully owe, or
that any job will be, or can be, put up on
the treasury. The State is to be congrat
ulated that the matter has taken such
shape, and the lessees express themselves
satisfied that their claims will be fairly
and honorably considered and adjusted.
The verdict of the Commission will be
awaited with the greatest interest.
Christmas Eve and everything is bright
and merry. The streets are thronged with
people and despite the stringency of the
times, there is ample evidence that our
people are determined to have a good
time.
Celibacy is destined to get a very black

The ordinance closing the bar rooms on
Christmas is a good one and it should be
rigidly enforced. Any attempted evasion
of the law should meet with merited pun
ishment. The police should see that there
is no discrimination. It is unjust that
some should be compelled to obey the ordi
nance and others reap profit by ignoring it
It is now understood that ail of the In
dian hostiles will come to the agencies it
the Government will carry' out its treaty
pledges. They have been troublesome be
cause of the bad faith of the Government.
The Government would probably be will
ing to do this, but the present administra
tion is hard up, with harder times coming.
If tlie Bepublicans of the Senate defeat
the bill which has been introduced in tb
house reducing the pension attorney's fee
for obtaining an increase of pension to #2,
as it lias been intimated they would, they
will show that it isn’t the poor soldier
whom they love, but the avaricious pen
sion shark, who can always be put down
for a liberal campaign contribution, and
who is responsible for almost all the
frauds practiced upon the pension office.
It being definitely ascertained, says Joe
Howard in the New York Press, that the
New York World netted #800,000 in the
year 1800, the New York Herald #000,000
and the Boston Globe #250,000, what’s
the matter with journalism.
Nothing at all, when journalism has
such a rich field to grow in, and where
every paper is paid for, and a subscriber
for one paper does not consider it a privi
lege to get two or three papers for nothing
to send off to his friends. A man who
would enter the New York World office
and pick up a paper and walk off with it
without tendering pay for it, simply be
cause he was a subscriber, would be re
garded as demented, and a halt would be
called on him; and strictly legitimate ad
vertising in these journals is not asked for
news.” It is paid for. The wonder
ful success of the journals mentioned is
due entirely to business methods, and
wherever these are followed in communi
ties capable of supporting a good paper)
you will find journals in good, healthful
condition.
It was a damaging acknowledgement of
the justness of all the Democratic attacks
upon the McKinley tariff law when every
Republican, including McKinley himself,
of tlie House committee on ways and
means, voted to report favorably Repre
sentative Flower’s resolution exiending
tlie bonded period for goods imported pre
vious to October 1, 1890, from February 1
to July 1, 1891. Mr. Flower deserves
credit for his work in this matter, as the
resolution, if adopted by Congress and ap
proved by Mr. Harrison, which it certainly
will be, will keep a large amount of money
in active circulation, which would other
wise have gone into the Treasury on or be
fore the first of next February.
Leading Republicans are beginning
to express, with exceeding frank
ness, their opinions of the lit
tle man who occupies the White House,
and they are not inclined to be compli
mentary. Senator Sawyer, of Illinois,
who will drop out of public life next
March to make room for a Democrat, says
of Harrison:
“Little Benny hasn’t as much influence
around Washington as he might have. He
freezes everybody, and people who go to
him with respect leave with disgust. The
country’s opinion of his administration
was shown in the recent election. Mind
you I was a supporter of President Harri
son, too, but I supported him because I
imagined he had [sense enough to fill the
position. He is too small mentally and
every other way to fill the chair.”
The startling news comes from Bruns
wick that Editor BraDham, of the Times,
has been assaulted by footpad3 and rob
bed. As the story comes to us our es
teemed contemporary was not “held up '
in the ordinary way, but knocked down.
The villains approached the Brunswick
editor on the street the other night, select
ing a spot immediately under a gas lamp,
as throwing more light on the subject, and
one of them, a burly black negro, between
six and seven feet tall, fetched the unsus
pecting editor a welt, which brought him
to his knees in an almost unconscious con
dition, and then proceeded to go through
him. As the result of a diligent, but nec
essarily hasty search of the person
of their victim, the ferocious and,
perhaps, hungry villains, found them*
selves in the unlawful posses
sion of a toothpick, a bunch
of kegs, and a receipted bill from the cele
brated #60,000 Ocean Bar, which Editor
Branham has rendered justly famous, and
which should, in consideration thereof,
promptly and cheerfully receipt all of his
bills. The highwaymen looked almost
aghast at their victim, who was slowly re
turning to consciousness, and went out
into the darkness, silently but sorrowing.
Editor Branham had thoughtfully taken
the precaution, before leaving his office, to
deposit his bank bills and small change in
the safe. The footpads had calculated in
telligently. They knew that Editor Bran
ham bad accumulated much lucre in
Brunswick, and hearing that he was about
to go to Rome to spend it, they thought to
take him when he had it concealed about
his person in great wads. Only Editor
Branham's rare presence of mind and fore*
sight, in leaving his monetary accumula
tions in the office safe, thwarted these das
tardly villians in their purpose of acquir
ing a fortune at one fell swoop. We
hasten to congratulate our esteemed con
temporary on his narrow escape.
Theodore Roosevelt, in a neat speech,
paid his compliments to Ward McAllister
as follows: “It was an expose of the 400
which most people have treated as a hu
morous production. But I am told that
the socialists are circulating the book to
show what manner of people there are in
New York who lead lives of luxury with
out working, and, really, I confess if I be
lieved that the best people of New York
were of that sort I should not blame any
one for being a socialist.”
Somebydy started a run on the Maverick
Savings bank, at San Antonio, Texas,
Saturday. The bank was besieged all
day, but more money was deposited than
was paid out. At night the town was
wild in celebration of the solvency of the
bank, and a public meeting was held to
demonstrate the confidence of the public
in the institution.
Senator Spooner described Hon. George
Frisbie Hoar as the peer of any n^n who
had ever sat for Massachusetts in the
United States Senate, and the Louisville
Courier-Journal thinks Frisbie’s excessive
modesty has kept the fact very suc.’ess-
fally concealed from a hero worshipping
world.
fiDemocrats in the House of Representa
tives made no organized opposition to the
apportionment bill, but in the debate be
fore its passage they took occasion to put
their opinions concerning the siip-shod
and partisan manner in which the census
was taken on record. They could not very
well liave done less.

Caticura Succe ds.
Having been a sufferer for two years and a half
from a disease caused by a bruise on the leg. and
having been cured by the Cuticura Remedies
when all other methods and remedies failed, I
deem it my duty to recommend them. I visited
Hot Springs to no avail, and tried several doctors
without success and at last our principal drug
gist. Mr. J.hn P. Finlay (to whom I shall ever
feel grateful), spoke to me about Cuticura
Remedies, and I consented to give them a trial,
with the result »hat I am perfectly cured. There
is now no sore about me. 1 think I can show the
largest surface where my sufferings sprang from
of any one in the State." The Cuticura Reme
dies are the best blood and skin cures manutac-
tured. I refer to drngg st John F. Finlay and
Dr. D C. Montgomery, both of this place, and to
Dr. Smith, of Lake Lee, Miss.

When such rampant Pennsylvania pro
tectionists as Senator Quay and Andrew
Carnegie, the millionaire iron baron, ad
mit their belief that the McKinley law
will be the last tariff act ever passed by
ongressi it is certainly high time for
the moderate Republicans to desert the
sinking ship of “protection.” And they
seem to be doing it too, at quite a lively
rate of speed. So lively, in fact, that Mr.
Harrison will be the last Republican
elected President.
The statement may be interesting to many
of our readers in East Alabama, that when
Alabama was a Territory, its capital was
St. Stephens, in Washington county. The
convention that framed the constitution
under which it was admitted into the
l nion was held in Huntsville, where the
first Legislature met in October, 1819, and
the first Governor was inaugurated. Cahaba
became the seat of government m 1S20. In
1S25 the capital was removed to Tuska-
loosa, and in 1S46 it was again removed,
this time to Montgomery.
King Kalakua is said to be in a bad way
financially, at San Francisco. He came
over in the United States Cruiser Charles
ton, and on the way joined the officers in
tlie seductive game of poker. When the
Golden Gate was reached, Calico was
strapped and several of the officers held his
kingly L O. U’s.
WAYCROSS JOTTINGS.
Waycross, Ga., December 22.—[Spe
cial.]—Two very important meetings lor
Waycross and Ware county took place at
the court house Saturday last. The first
was the Confederate veterans’ meeting, at
10 o’clock a. m. The object of this meet-
was to determine whether or not the
Ware county veterans would attend the
annual celebration of R. E. Lee's birth
day on January 19, at Brunswick. It was
unanimously agreed to attend, and about
seventy-five old soldiers signified their in
tention of going to the City
by tlie Sea on the above date
to do honor to their brave
old leader. The Ware County Associa
tion now numbers about 150 members.
The Waycross Rifles will also go in a body
as an escort to the old vets and to partici
pate in the festivities of the day. The
constitution of the association requires
that officers of the association be elected
on the 19th inst., and it was agreed as
they have to leave here at 5 o'clock a. in.,
to hold the election on the train a3 they
speed on their way to Brunswick.
The second meeting took place at 8
o’clock p. m., and was a mass meeting tor
the purpose of nominating a ticket for
Mayor and Aldermen and three members
of the School Board for the ensuing year.
Capt. W. D. Hamilton was made chairman
of the meeting and D. J. McIntosh, secre
tary. As soon as the meeting was organ
ized, Col. J. C'. McDonald made a motion
to adjourn to next Saturday night, claim
ing that sufficient notice had not been
given the people of the town that the
meeting would be held at that
time. Col. J. L. Sweat took
the opposite view of the matter, and the
sparring of these gentlemen, together with
others that were drawn into' the contro
versy, was very spirited for some time.
Col. McDonald’s motion was finally
voted down and nominations were de
clared in order, when Col. J. L. Sweat
nominated the following ticket: For
Mayor, A. M. Knight. Couneilmen—First
ward, R. H. Murphy; Second ward, J. H.
Gillon; Third ward, J. G. Justice; Fourth
ward, W. W. Sharp; Fifth ward, W. A.
McNeal. Members of Board of Education—
L. Johnston, H. P. Brewer and II. S.
Hitch.
Col. McDonald put in nomination Col.
J. L. Sweat for Mayor, but after a good
deal of argument pro and con. Col. Sweet
declared he would not accept the nomina
tion if tendered.
At this juncture another motion to ad
journ was voted down, and the above
ticket by Col. Sweet was put before tlie
meeting and nominated by a rising vote.
The election takes place the first Saturday
in January, 1891.
