SILVER MEN IN ATLANTA.
Ferguson, of Lee, Introduces Anti-
Cleveland Resolutions.
(The President Not Mentioned by
Name. But the Resolutions in Direct
Opposition to His Financial Policy.
An Evening Paper Claims That the
Resolutions Were Prepared by Clark
Howell—Capt. Smith, of Gwinnett,
Denies the Truth of the Paper’s Al
leged Interview With Him.
Atlanta. Ga.. Oct. 25.—As predicted in
these dispatches yesterday, interest in
the opening session of the House to-day
was the anticipated resolutions condemn
ing Mr. Cleveland'and the course of con
gress on financial legislation. Many reports
were afloat concerning the authorship of
the expected resolutions. W. T. Smith,
of Gwinnett, was most generally looked
to for the bomb, and some surprise was
manifested when Mr. Ferguson, of I>ee
county, sent a typewritten set of resolu
tions similar to what was expected to the
clerk’s desk. Mr. Ferguson’s docu
ment is said to have been
prepared in the Constitution office,
and is an effort by' j that paper to
get the legislature to back its fight on the
administration. The resolutions them
selves are lost in the discussion as com
pared to the talk about the source from
which they are said to havecome. Noth
ing else is discussed in the lobbies to
night, and the general opinion is that if
Mr. Ferguson got his resolutions from the
Constitution office, the management of
that paper has made a great blunder in
its desperate effort to bolster up a bad
Cause.
Another feature of this incident of the
Session is a story published by the Journal
this afternoon, purporting to be an inter
view with Mr. Smith, of Gwinnett. This
Interview, which is heavily headlined to
make it sensational, is as follows: “While
n number of bills were being read a
journal reporter asked Capt. Smith if he
Aid not have a resolution to introduce. He
replied in the affirmative
“‘ls it not a resolution condemning
president Cleveland?’ asked the reporter.
"Til give you the whole resolution a
little later on,’ replied the captain. ‘Clark
didn’t come to time.’
“A little later the reporter sought the
captain again, and asked: ‘What about
that Cleveland resolution?’
“ ‘I haven’t got it yet,’ was his reply.
‘Clark hasn’t sent it to mo. I wrote him
and telegraphed him afterwards to fix up
the resolution or to get some of his staff to
fix it up for me. He has not sent it to
me, but 1 reckon he will.’
‘“Clark who?’ asked the reporter, very
innocently.
“ ‘Why Clark Howell and the legisla
tor looked with disgust on the man who
did not know about whom he was talk
ing.”
The effort of the purported interview
has been to effectually offset any effect an
anti-Cleveland resolution might have if
introduced now, and to place the Consti
tution editor in the nine hole, so to put
it.
SMITH DENIES TnE STOUT.
Capt. Smith, of Gwinnett, however,
says the alleged interview is false. It was
printed, he says, first to offset his resolu
tion, which he has ready to introduce to
morrow, and secondly because he sued
one of the Journal men for SIOO once and
the claim is now in the hands of Col. W,
H. Hilsey, of this city, for collection. As
stated, Mr. Smith says he will introduce
his anti-Cleveland resolutions to-morrow.
It saetns that anti-administration reso
lutions are to play a large part in the
session.
The information come; from a reliable
source that Col. Mell Branch, the popu
list leader from Columbia, has a set of
resolutions oi this kind, which were pre
pared by Tom Watson. Branch has not
arrived, but will get in to-morrow with
bis document.
TEXT OK FEItGUSON’S KESOtt’TIONS.
The resolutions offered by Mr. Fergu
6on to-day are us follows:
Whereas, Great financial distress has pre
vailed throughout the country lor tho last
two years, which resulted largely, if not alto
gether from the had financial legislation of
the past thirty years; and.
Whereas. It is believed that under such
legislation it was possible for a punk-to-be cre
ated whenever the money power of the east
found It to their interest to have one, and that
the present panic, which has brought distress
throughout the land is largely the result of
a conspiracy made possible by said laws
and.
Whereas. There ts an Insufficient amount
of circulating medium to meet the necessary
wants of our great and growing country, to
supply our commerce with Its legitimate
funds, to promote manufactures and trade;
and.
Whereas. Tho bad legislation, beginning In
1873, which reduced silver to a commodity and
discredited It as a money metal, contrary to
the original puposc of our forefathers, as em
bodied m the constitution: and,
Whereas, There Is immediate need of res
storing silver to its legitimate place in the
currency; and.
Whereas, The unconstitutional prohibitory
tax of 10 per cent, upon issues of state banks
has prevented the supply of a sufficient
volume of currency and hits made It possible
for the national banks to contract or expand
the currency at will; and.
Whereas, The people of the United States
and of the state of Georgia have by their
vote declared that the 10 percent, tax on state
banks of issue should be repealed
and declare that they hold to both silver
and gold as the standard money of the
country and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminating against either
metal, or charge for mintage, but the dollar
unit of both metals must be of equal intrinsic
and exchangeable value, and that such legis
lation as shall insure the maintenance of the
parity of the two metals and the equal valuo
of every dollar at all times in the market, in
the payment of debts, and that all paper cur
rency be kept at par with and redeemable
with such coin , that this policy is specially
necessary for the protection of the farmers
and laboring classes, the first and most de
fenseless victims of unstable money and fluc
tuating currency. Therefore, tie it
Resolved, By the general assembly of
Georgia that our senators be instructed and
our representatives in congress be re
quested to use all honorable moans to
speedily provide for the restoration of silver
to its constitutional place in the currency of
this republic, and that to that end the free
and unlimited coinage ’of silver be at once
provided.
Resolved, further. That our senators be in
atrueted. and our repr, s.-ntatires in congress
he requested, to use all honorable means to
effect the immediate and unconditional repeal
of the 10 percent, tax on state hanks of issue
and
Resolved further. That the secretary of the
state be instructed to toward l oth of our
senators and each of our representatives In
congress a copy of these resolutions.
A dead silence followed the reading of
the pa|>er. No one offered to speak and
it was promptly committed to the com
mittee on the state of the republic. It
may never see the light of day again.
1 here is a very decided feeling against
any such matter, and strong effort will
be made to prevent the raising of the
issue.
This House is squarely in line with the
administration, witli the exception of a
few soreheads, and if any such issue ever
comes it will be promptly squelched.

MITCHELL STOPS TRAINING.
Corbett Declines the Bolingbroke
Club’s Offer of 812,000.
New York,Oct. 25. —The World says:
“Charley Mitchell has stopped training,
and W. A. Brady acting for Corbett, has
declined the Tfolingbroke Club’s offer of a
$12,000 purse for the big fight in rxindon.
Both principals hope the Coney Island
Club will take caro of them so far as the
expenses already incurred are concerned.”
NEW OKI.EANS WOULD LIKE THE KIUIIT.
New Orleans, Oct. 25.—1 tis very prob
able that the Olympic club will make
some effort to get the Corbetl-Mitchell
battle, should the two men decide to con
test in this city. The contest committee
of the club met to-night in their club
rooms for the purpose of studying the
exact situation. Their view of the mat
ter is that 200,(KKJ out of the 250,000 people
in this city are anxious to have the fight
take place here, but should they
find too strong an opposition
they probably will leave the contest
alone. The committee discussed the
matter thoroughly, believing that public
opinion will not attempt to stop the battle.
Both men have expressed a willingness to
the club that if New York is not to be the
battle ground, that the New Orleans club
shall have the battle. The club will not
offer a large purse for the men, but will
make a bid of about $20,000. None of the
members of the committee would speak
of their proposed plans, but they
acknowledge that they will secure the
international contest with the aid of the
people.
MITCHELL IN NEW YORK.
New York, Oct. 25.—Charley Mitchell
circulated between the Hoffman house,
the Coleman house and the Gilse.y house
to-day, and following in his wake was the
usual large number of retainers.
To-day was to have been a
day of importance to the friends of the
pugilist who were anxious to have the
big fight come off. A conference had
been arranged between Mitchell and
Billy Brady, who is Corbett's mouth
piece, but the latter failed to put m an
appearance during the afternoon and up
to nearly midnight had not seen
the English champion. Since
the hand of the Kings county
authorities came down on tho pugilists
and the Coney Island club, and since
other clubs have shown a disposition to
fight shy of the match, the big men them
selves have put their heads together and
the result was, according to Brady,
a practical settlement of plans,
whereby the fight could be arranged de
spite civic interference. The finishing
touches were to have been made to-day,
but owing to the failure of Brady to meet
Mitchell, ratifications of the negotiations
had to be postponed. .Judge Nowton, how
ever, had a long talk with Brady during
the afternoon, and said to-night that it
meant that the Coney island Club
was still anxious to make arrangements
for the meeting of the two men.
POSTING OF THE GINS.
Owners In Cherokee, Bartow, Pauld
ing and Cobb Counties Warned.
Atlanta, Ga., Oet. 25.—Six hundred
farmers and ginners met at Acworth to
day to take action to suppress white
caps. Last week the gins in Cherokee,
Bartow, Paulding and Cobb counties were
posted with notices, warning the owners
not to clean any more cotton until it ad
vanced to 10 cents a pound. This demor
alized the farmers, as they were threat
ened with flro if they hauled any more
cotton to the gins; and the ginners were
notified that they would be burned out if
they did not shut down their gins.
EFFECT OF THE SCARE.
At this season of the year Acworth
usually receives 200 bales. In the past
week Acworth has not received fifty bales.
This is truo of all the towns in the four
counties named. The farmers and gin
ners pledged themselves to subscribe lib
erally to a fund for the employment of
detectives to discover and punish the
white caps.
They also recommended that all the
gins be started up again.

iff Bill L
Representative Payne ABks Sarcas
tically Whether Such a Measure
Would Be Constitutional, According
to the Terms of the Chicago Plat
form Representative Lane, of Illi
nois, Speaks in Opposition to the
Bankruptcy Bill.
Washington, Oct. 25.—1n the House to
day Mr. Caminetti this morning asked
unanimous consent for the consideration
of his resolution relatiug to the
separation of the Independence and
Visalia land districts of Califor
nia. Mr. Coffin withdrew his objection
and the resolution was passed.
Mr. Coombs, dem., of Brooklyn, crea
ted something of a sonsation and some
amusement by offering a resolution out
lining a plan for a tariff bill, uuu in
structing the ways and means committe e
to bring in a bill in accordance with its
provisions. The bill, according to the
resolution, shall have four schedules.
A—Com|>osed of articles free of duty,
including all raw materials.
B—Articles to pay a duty of 10 per
cent.
C —Articles of luxury, wine, spirits and
tobacco, upon which a duty must be
charged sufficient, at least, to protect
manufacturers who pay tho internal reve
nue tax.
I>—A schedule for tho protection of
labor.
an Unclassified schedule.
All articles not covered by the prece -
ding list are to go into an unclassified
schedule. Aftor the amount of revenues
needed shall be ascertained and the
amount of revenue to be obtained from
the first four schedules shall have been
deducted from the amount needed, the
remainder shall be raised by import taxes
on unclassified articles. The principle to
govern in the formation of schedule D
and the unclassified schedule is to have
regard for the protection of the labor
cost wheravera difference of labor cost
exists between this country and abroad.
When tho reading of the resolution had
been completed, Mr. Payne, of New York,
asked sarcastically whether such a bill
would be constitutional according to tho
terms of the Chicago platform.
Mr. Outhwaite insisted that the reso
lution bo referred to the ways and means
committee, and it was so referred.
Mr. Mcßae called up his bill for the
protection of forest reservations. The bill
is bitterly antagonized by the far western
members. Several filibustering motions
were made, but a quorum had not been
developed when the morning hourexpired,
and debate on the bankruptcy bill was re
sumed.
i.ane opposes the bill.
Mr. Lane, of Illinois, took the floor in
opposition to the measure. He made tho
broad statement that a bankruptcy bill
could not be passed in this country at this
time. If a man fails for 30 days to pay an
obligation that has become due, he for
feits his estate. The bankruptcy laws of
no other country were more drastic, more
merciless, than this. His people were
debtors. Their farms were mortgaged.
Agriculture was depressed. Farm lands
worth $45 a few years ago. sold for S2O to
day. Horses worth $175 could be bought for
SSO; sheep that brought $5 were bargains
at $1.50. In the name of heaven, does a
democratic congress intend to force a
farmer in times of such depression to go
a hundred miles to bo brought up in a
federal court to pay a bankrupt merchant
in his own town. The eastern creditors
would foreclose western mortgages.
Mr. Kilgore, of Texas, who led tho fil
ibuster against the bill in the last con
gress, made a strong speech against the
measure. He analyzed the bill section by
section, giving many practical illustra
tions of its effects.
Ponding further debate tho House, at
4:55 p. m., adjourned.
CAROLINA’S CERTIFICATES.
Their Taxation Still Under Considera
tion by the House Committee.
Washington, Oct. 25.—Representative
Brawley, of South Carolina, was heard
to-day by the banking and currency com
mittee in favor of his bill to suspend the
tax on notes, called clearing house certifi
cates, in South Carolina. He said these
certificates wero cashed in the form of
notes. No one has suffered by their use
and tho stringency had been relieved by
these certificates.
Chairman Springer asked if these notes
were in circulation like those in New
York.
Representative Brawley replied that he
knew very little about the New York
clearing house certificates. The national
bunk, which was the United States de
pository in Charleston, sent a check on a
national hank in New York to the assist
ant treasurer to pay its balance, and tho
treasurer refused to take the check for
the reason that it would bo paid in clear
ing house certificates.
THEIR CIRCULATION GENERAL.
Representative McLaurin gave some in
formation regarding the circulation of
the Columbian association certificates.
They became quite general.
Gov. Tillman said they were about the
only currency which the state had re
cently, but they were not being circulated
now. He was informed by the president
of the association that they could be re
tired in November.
Representative Warner, of New York,
said that neither he nor the hanks of
New York had any apprehension that the
New York cl wring house certificates will
be subject to the tax. He thought it was
an outrage for the government, which re
fused to furnish currency, to attempt to
tax men who were trying to supply the
deficiency upon their own business
credit.
Representative Brawley's bill was re
ferred to the subcommittee on state
bank tax rc|>eal.
Representative Johnson, of Indiana,
said that the Brawley bill should be care
fully considered, as he believed that it
would repeal the ten per cent, tax law
outright, it was the sentiment of the
committee that relief should be given the
people of South Carolina u[ion the cer
tificates issued.
FOSTER S FAILURE.
The Ex Secretary Feels Hurt Over the
Suit Brought By His Creditors.
Cleveland, 0., Oct. 25.—Ex-Secretary
Foster made the following statement to
day regarding the suit begun by his cred
itors: “Of course lam disappointed aud
grieved at this action on the part of my
creditors. 1 have been doing everything
in my power to assist the assignees of my
various interests to settle up matters
with as little loss to my creditors
as possible, but this action on -the part of
the creditors' committee is discouraging
to me, and my inclination would nat
urally be, under the circumstances, to let
things go as they might. I don't think
the creditors will gam anything by this
suit. 1 have done nothing either dishon
est or dishonorable. The sale of my
business blocks to Mr Harkncss was
bona fide, and the books of the hank will
show what was done with tho proceeds.
The sale of the homestead to aiy wife was
made ten years ago. and was perfectly
legal. This action on the part of the cred
itors defers indefinitely tin* settlement of
my affairs, as it will meuu a ten year's
law suit.”

CONSULTING OPTICIANS.
A STARTLING FACT,
That very few- persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both know!
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to flt them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninslructed dealers
are criminally caroless of the most valuable
of all the senses, their sight. In addition to
graduating in Germany and my thirty years’
practical experience I have taken a course
and graduated in a school of optics in Now
York and learned the latest and Dost methods
of ascertaining the different defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can fit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve your eyesight instead
of rapidly ruining it. as poorly ntted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
