It might be advisable for the committee
to take some action, looking to the
putting down of discord, and the
promotion of harmony. He cautioned the
members to remember that they were
present as democrats, but not as the
friends of any candidates.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Mr. Bell introduced the following reso
lutions, which were passed:
Resolved. That the state democratic con
vention l>e and the same is hereby called to
m< et m the iiall of the House of hepresenta-
Wves in th • city of Atlanta on Thursday the
2d da) ol \ugust. is.o for the purpose of
E- ■!! . ■ • ■ e . ..I li;
vaiious state House officers.
VKesolved. l'hat those counties having me
representative m the lower house of th ■
general assembly shall lie entitled to two
votes, the cm n'ies having two reprosenta
tives four votes, an 1 the counties having
three representatives six votes in said con
vention.
Resolved That we do not propose to dic
tate how delegates to the .convention be se
lected, leaving that matter entirely to the
wisdom of the democracy of each county,
f EVAN’S MEN W ANTED IT EARLIER.
There was a decided effort by the
friends of Gen. Kvans to have the con
vention called in June, or July at latest,
hut Mr. Atkinson's friends called the turn
on them in the finals. .
While the committee tried to
Keep down the question of
personal preference for the candi
dates in fixing the date of theeouwntion it
was evident from the outset that this line
was clearly fixed. Gen. Kvans' support
ers have all along been favorable to an
early comention, while Col. Atkinson
has openly expressed It is desire that
the convention lie held at as late a
date ns practicable. His position is that
the longer the fight the more his chances.
On the other hand, the argument ad
vanced for an early convention was that
the popuiists w ill put out their ticket on
May lti, and should not be permitted to
get too long a lead of the democratic
nominee.
'-NELMS ATTACKS CLEVELAND.
Mr. Nelms of Fulton county made a
bitter attack on President Cleveland and
the administration in his advocacy of the
early convention. He claimed that the
President is making populist votes every
day, and therefore the democracy should
get its candidate in tho field at the
earliest possible date.
Hon. Warner Hill refuted the attack
On the administration with the argument
that every day confidence iu the Presi
dent's policy is increasing.
Mr. Nelms w as making a second assault
on the President, under whom he held a
fat office during the first term, when ha
was ruled out of order.

REALM OF THE KAISER.
Glad Gladstone Is to Retire The
Treaty With Russia.
(Copyrighted 1851. by the Associated Press i
Berlin. March 3.—Although no diplo
matic questions have arisen between
Kngland and t icrmany during the last ad
min ;u ration of the right Hon. William ii.
Gladstone, the news of the veteran lib
eral leader’s retirement caused a feeling
of unf< i.mod satisfaction. The German
people have never got over the resent
ment 6,-casioued during the Frarno
i’rnssian war of 1*11) 11, by the un
fon I; :ed allegation that Premier Glad
stone encouraged the sale of arms and
ammunition to Franco. Jn addition. Mr.
Gladstone was gen rally n gar led in Ger
man o ; eial circles as being an enemy of
tjj’ dreibund, and responsible for i.'tit
land's isolation in iv.ru[>eaii politics.
Therefore, tho nev.s that l-ord Rosebery
is to be otue prim-- minister of Knglan i is
reeehect iu Germany with hearty wel
come.
THE NEW TREATY.
The committee of the Reichstag to-day
adopted the first of the twelve clauses of
th'- Russo-German commercial treaty.
With the exception of clause eight, deal
ing with itu|ort duties, discussion of
which was deferred, tho tirst eighteen
clauses of the final protocol were also
adopted, and the committee adjourned
*
clause eight is expected. The galleries of
the Reichstag have been crowded through
out the week with visitors anxious to
hear the treaty debates. These
visitors include ' the Russian and
United States ambassadors and
many other distinguished people. But
the House soon became wearied of the
discussion and President Levetow gave
express.on on Thursday to the desire
evinced in many quarters to close the
debate. The editor of the Nova Vremla
lias arrived here from St. Petersburg, in
order to promote a fraternal celebration
of the passage of the Russo-German i o l
mercial treaty. Of eours the
usual number of rumors are
in circulation regarding me treaty
and the manner in which it is regarded
b.v people of high rank. Tor instance, it
is stiu alleged that Ur. Miquel, the minis
ter of finance, while in an after-dinner
mood, expressed the opinion that tho'
agrarians would be -‘Asses, if they sup
ported the treaty.” Some color is given
to this report by the fact
that Ur. Mtquel’s support of
tho treaty is admittedly lukewarm and
dictated more by expediency than by con
viction. Thus it is quite (xtssible that he
may have said some such thing in an un
guarded moment, but Ur. Miquel's speech
in the Reichstag, in support of the com
mercial treaty thoroughly dismissed any
idea that he would om ourage opposition
to this important measure.
THE SILVER qrESTION.
Tho debates of the silver commission
will be chielly concerned in discussing
tile following four questions: First, it
is probable that the gold jn-oduction of
the future will suffice to cover the de
mand for coinage. I nder the above head,
special attention will be paid to the in
creased demand ;or gold, resulting iroui
the recent measures adopted by the In
dian government, and by the government
of the United States.
Second, Have the lack of gold and the
general depression resulting from its
enhanced value been noticeable in coun
tries with a gold currency.'
Third, What influence have the silver
fluctuations exercised on the monetary
and economic situation of Germany?
Fourth, How could the evils or dangers
caused in Germany by the present cur
rency be removed or lessened !
Throughout Germany and in the other
countries of Europe great interest is
taken in the silver commission, and finan
ciers and others are awaiting the result
of its deliberations with a great deai of
anxiety.

THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY. MARCH 4. 1831.
STILL BUSY OX THE TARIFF.
The Committee Makes a Lons Stride
Toward Finishing Us Work.
Secrstary Carlisle Appeals For an In
crease to 12 Cents Per Pound of the
Tax on Tobacco—’JJalk of Taxing Re
tail Liquor Dealers SSIOO Peg Year.
Iron Ora Going Back to the Dutiable
L’st.
Washington, March —The democratic
members of the finance committee took
a long stride in the direction of the com
pletion of their labors on the tariff bill
to-day. According to reports that are
believed to be accurate, the leaven pla cd
in the loaf during the caucus has made
the work of the committee comparatively
light, and it has been actuated by a spirit
of concession.
This afternoon much of the time of the
committee was cnns'umod in the digestion
of n;a!t< rs laid before it by Commissioner
of internal Revenue Miller. Yesterday
Mr. Miller went before the committee to
urge an increase of the tax on manufac
tured tobacco, the Keen t iry of the Treas
ury looking upon this as the readiest
means of getting mouey into the treasury.
Ke.rotary Carlisle asked for an
increase to 12 cents a pound
on all manufactured tobacco but
there is an indisposition on the part
of the committee to grant this. One mem
ber of the committee held out for St cents,
and tiie discussion of the afternoon was
an effort to compromise on 10 cents.
Secretary t 'urlisle. it is said, insists that
the he doubled.
IRON ORE AND COAL.
During the day. it was understood Sen
ator Hugh was notified that the commit
tee had agreed to place iron ore back on
the dutiable list at 40 cents a ion, it be
ing now free in the Houso bill. B.v doing
so coal is made to suffer a small cut, for
that article is reduced from 50 cents a
ton, which the committee had agreed to
give it, and placed on tho same level with
iron, 'ibis action of the committee, if
it is accepted, will add to the
revenues about s6oo,oiX>. Under the pres
ent law there was imported to the United
Stales for the fiscal year ended June ;<()
last 1,0M),374 tons of coal, upon which a
duty of SM7.7SU was paid, at the rate of
75 cents a ton. Upon iron ore, the duty
being tiie same, there has been im
por.ed 077,301 tons, yielding a duty of
$5(17,970.
A HILL FOR REVENUE.
The committee is pursuing its work on
such lines gs will make the bill a revenue
measure bringing in sufficient revenues to
meet tbe expenses of tiie government. In
a number of ways, beside s the increase of
rates in demand to the wishes of senators,
the committee has brought al out this re
sult. It has been practically agreed that
a tax shall be placed upon all patent med
icines, cosmetics and perfumery, at the
rate of 1 cent for every 25 cents package.
This will yield *30,000,1 KH).
WHISKY
The committee has also been discussing
tho whisky and beer question, and nu
merous arguments have been brought to
bear to cause them to increase ithe tax on
those articles. It may be "Skat no change
will be seen in the bill in tins respect
when it comes from the committee, but if
the suggestions that have beeu made are
carried out some amendments will be of
fered in the Senate. One of these is to
niaite the tax on whisky 41.50 a gallon
and applicable to ali whisky in bond,
this clause _ taking effect the first day
of January,' 1805. Should this be done,
the additional income from that source
would be 475,000.000, based upon last
year's production of 125,000.000 gallons.
Should the tax on beer be increased *1 a
barrel, this would add $37,000,000.
A TAX ON SALOON KEEPERS.
Thera is still another proposition in
connection with the liquor business, and
that is to assess a tax against every re
tail dealer in the country of 4100 a year.
As there are 245,000 of these dealers, such
ata x would bring in $24,500,000. These
four items of internal revenue aggregate
$107,000,000, but the committee will not
consider them in this shape, although it
looks as if the patent medicine tax would
t e endorsed by the committee. These
lour items appear as a response on the
part of one member of the committee
to the question how to raise
the difference between the revenues tho
Wilson bill yields and the secretary’s esti
mate of ihe money ha must have. ' Secre
tary Carlisle's estimate called for $412,-
000.000, but he has been able to reduce
this by $25,000,000. The treasury is cer
tain of $204,000,000, of which the House
bill provides *182,000,000, and internal
revenue $161,000,010, thus leaving about
$120,000,000 to be provided for by the com
mittee.
MUNICIPAL POLITICS.
Two Factions Struggling For the Con
trol of ths City.
Tampa, Fla., March 3.—The municipal
election will come off in this city Tues
day. There are two factions. The wire
pullers are getting in their work. One
man is said to have eight hundred reg
istration certificates at his disposal, with
as many poll tax receipts McNeill
heads one of the factions for mayor and
hasley the other. Both candidates are
strong. McNeill has been president of
the present city council for the past term,
and Hasley is now a councilman.
The city council is considering the
question of issuing bonds. The city war
rants are now worth only about 50 cents
ou the dollar, anil the taxpayers are be
coming tired of paying such exorbitant
interest for such little credit.
Gonzales, Mora Vt t o , have let tho con
tract for a large three-story cigar factory
to Shaw & Johnson, of this city. The
building will be .30 by 120 feet, and with
ail the conveniences of a modern cigar fac
tory, working when in full capacity about
200 cigar makers. The growth of this in
dustry in Tampa is increasing so rapidly
that tbe Y'bor City Land and improve
ment Company are having erected an
other large factory building for the ac
commodation of another firm who intend
to locate here.
MAY MOVE TO GREENVILLE.
Carolina's Collector of Internal Rev
enue to Make a Change.
Columbia, S. C., March 3.—There is
every indication that the offices and head
quarters of the United States collector of
internal revenue for this state will be re
moved from here to Greenville shortly.
Collector Townes stated to-day that
lie would shortly make formal application
for the change. Tbe reason for it is that
nearly a:l the distilleries in the state
are located in Greenville and tho sur
rounding county, and that since the es
tablishment of the dispensary tho busi
ness of the department has been confined
to that section. Colie tor Townes sta.es
that on account of the dispensary law
requiring the state to purchase liquor
from local distilleries when possible the
number of distilleries is fast increasing
and that there will lie about ten new
ones opened this month.
A Brewing Company Assigns.
Cincinnati. Q., March B.—The Jackson

sets are $400,1100, while the iiabilities are

is only temporary.

A STARTLING FACT,
That very few persons have perfect eyes. It
must be evident that it requires both knowl
edge and skill to know what the eyes need
and to fit them properly with glasses. Those
who trust this work to uninstructed dealers
are criminally careless of tho 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 New
York and learned the latest and t est methods
of ascertaining the differont defects of the
eyes and their proper correction, so that I
can lit you properly with glasses that will
strengthen and improve your eyesight, instead
of rapidly ruining it, as poorly fitted glasses
will always do. No charge for examination.
