JOHN TBIPI.ETT, Bns. Blnn. 5 l,ey can’t down Gordon. Down with independents. Macon is going to build a canal. The fight still goes on over the Au gusta post office. The Czar of Russia says he wants poute. Let him have it. Blaine will make a few speeches in ftfifne ; but he will not orate in Tom mie Reed’s “deestrict,” Mark Hardin is solid for clerk ol the house. Mark and Charley Hansell make a team that’s hard to beat. A new counterleit $io bill is on the market. It is on the Germania Bank of New Orleans, and is scries B. No. 8,615,736. — >#. ■ If Mr. Norwood stands for the Sen ate he will probably distribute a few thousand copies of his book, “Plutoc racy” among the voters. It is about time that the editorial fraternity were sharpening up their pencils, preparatory to telling the leg islature what laws to pass. We should regret to see Dr. Felton in the race for congress from the 7th district. Everett has been fairly notui nated, and he should be elected. The breach in South Carolina has been healed ; there will be no split in the democratic party in that state. The republicans will be sorely disap. pointed. The usual “dog law” will be brought up in the legislature, at the next ses sion of that body. And the chances —unfortunately—are that it will be killed. Speaking of the political strain and ituation in South Carolina, the Charleston News and Courier says: Orthodoxy is our “doxy” and com- iromise is our “mise. ” Every man nominated for the sen te is watching the fight between Snel- on and Terrell, l'hey’re afraid Snel- on will “get there.” Snslson was the error of the last legislature. They are talking about running An- ier against Livingston in the dis- rict. Col. Livingston has been fairly ominated, and every democrat in the listrict should support him. \V e are ot for Livingston, personally, but lor he nominee of the patty. Two of the ablest democrats in con fess, Mills, ot Texas, and Bynum, of ndiana were unanimously renominated Dr congress this week. They will ick shields with Turner, Blount and )risp, of Georgia, in fighting the re- lublicans. Last Sunday was the 76th anniver- ary of the capture of Washington by he “Britishers.” II they would come Jong again and capture Tom Reed, ild Hoar and some others of the g. o. 1, the country would not go to war bout it. In fact, the country would ke it. Harrison pulled his grand-daddy’s hat down over his eyes, and groaned a great big groan, when informed that the force bill would go over until next session. And Tom Reed, well Reed fairly foamed at the mouth. As for old Hoar, he gritted his teeth and— swore—perhaps. And now the Salvation Army has turned up in Atlanta again. What has Atlanta done ? It is 0 be hoped that this army will be dispersed before the legislature meets. Atlanta, while she is a pretty good sized town, is hardly large enough to hold the Salva tion Army and the Georgia legislature, at the tame time. The State Tax Rate. The Governor has issued the follow ing, giving the tax rate of the state: Pursuant to section I, of tax act, approved December 26, 1888, and amended by act, approved November 12, 1889, which requires the gover nor, with the assistance of the comp troller general, to levy a percentage on the taxable property of this state, sufficient to meet the requirements thereof, not to exceed a certain per cent, named therein, and after ap proximating, ns nearly as practicable, the amount of all taxable property in the state, as exhibited on the digest, it is Ordered, That two and seveu-tenths of one per cent be assessed and col lected upon the amount of the taxable property returned by, or assessed against each tax-payer, and upon the value of all property in the state sub ject to taxation ad valorem. And it is further Ordered, that in addition to the two and seven-tenths of one per cent above ordered, an extra per cent of one tenth of one per cent be assessed anil collected in conformity with an act approved December 26, 1888, upon the amount of the taxable pro perty returned by or assessed against each tax-payer, and upon the value of all property in the state subject to taxation ad valorem. And it is fur ther Ordered, That iu addition to the two and seven-tenths of one per cent and one tenth of one per cent nbove ordered, an extra per cent of two and sixth-tenths of one-tenth of one per cent be assessed and collected in con formity with an act creating a sinking fund to retire maturing bonds, ap proved December 26,1888, upon the amount of the value of the taxable property returned by, or assessed against each tax-payer, and upon the value of all property in the state sub ject to taxation ad volorem; the whole making three and ninety-six one hun dredths of one per cent (3 96-100) for all purposes for the fiscal year 1890. John B. Gordon, Governor. William A. Wright, Comptroller General. A Mistake. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun, speaking of the resolution adopted by the state alliance, instructing members of the order in the next legislature to vote against any man for senator who opposes the sub treasury scheme, says: “The Enquirer-Sun does not hesi tate to express the opinion that the adoption of this resolution was not the part of wisdom or good judgment, and is calculated to work harm to the Alliance and to the Democratic party. It should be sufficient that a candi date for the United States Senate stand on the avowed platform of the Georgia Democracy, only a few days ago declared by its State Convention. TLere should he no other qualification necessary, and none other should bo demanded. The Alliance, however, by this resolution, promulgates a new platform upon which Democratic can didates for the United States Senate must stnnd, nud it is a platform ut terly repugnant, so far as the sub- treasury is concerned, to the funda mental principles of the State and National Democracy. We have on abiding faith that the Democratic Allianccmen who may be members of the next Legislature will not feel themselves tied, bound hand and foot by this resolution, and that when the issue is at hand they will have the courage and consistency to vote as Democrats, and not merely ns Alii anceraen.” Taxes on Railroads. Comptroller General Wright has fin ished computing the amount of t ixes that must be paid the state by the rail- roads and street railroads by Oct. 1, or each delinquent will be 'fined $500. There are now sixty-eight railroads in the state, valued at $36,606,834. The ad valorem tax on them amounts to $143,940. This does not include the Macon and Covington, which has no’ yet been assessed, but which was valued last year at $780,- 369. The street railroad property in '.he state is r.-turned at $1,020,083, on which the tax amounts to $4,435. There is a considerable increase in the value of railroad ptoperty in a year since it was assessed. Last year it was at $34,250,477, on which the tax was $139,909, This is the first year the street car property has been return ed to the com,droller, and hence no comparison can be made. Alligators and the Census. Washington, Aug. 27.—Anioog other industries that the census office wants to know about is the alligator industry in Florida. A circular was, therefore, sent to a man in Florida. He has written Secretary Noble as fol lows : “I don’t understand what you mean about the hunting. I want you to write to me whether you want to hire me by the month or not, or wheth er you want me to hunt and ship to you. I will hunt by the month for a consideration if you furnish me. I want a boat and guns. I want to know what you will give a dozen for alligator eggs and what you will pay for alligators.” The Macon and Atlantic. W. H. Wells, chief engineer of the Macon and Atlantic road, was in the city yesterday in consultation with T. P. Stanley, the engineer in charge of the corps which ran the line from Guy ton to this city. Mr. Wells will ac company Mr. Stanley and the corps to Guyton this morning, and the line will be located at once between Guyton and this city. Mr, Stanley says the. contract has been let for that part of the road lying between this city and Guyton, and the contractor is on the ground waiting for so much of the line to be located as will enable him to go to work.— News. A Republican Who Wants to Control Democrats in Georgia. The Democrats of Georgia should not forget that one McCune, an un scrupulous Republican, with head quarters at Washington, is. the man who is leading the fight against Gov ernor Gordon. The above, from tho Brunswick Times, should arrest the attention of every true democrat in Georgia. If wo mistake not the temper of the democrats of Georgia, they will scorn aud repudiate Mr. McCune’s interfer ence in Georgia politics. If we have to call in outside advice, we’ll at least try anil get it from democratic sourc- New York Central’s Strike. Aliianv, N. Y., Ang. 28.—Notice was to-day served upon Vice President Webb, ot the New York Central road, and Master Workman Lee, of the Knights of Labor that the state board of mediation and arbitration would in quire into the cause of the strike. The inquiry will begin in New York next Tuesday. Cholera’s Sweep. Cairo, Aug. 28.—From Saturday until yesterday there were twenty-two now cases of cholera and seven deaths from the disease at Eltor. Cure for the Hog Cholera. Mr. T. A. Owens tells the Rochelle Solid South of an old gentleman in Telfair county who informed him of the tollowing remedy for hog cholera which he said has never failed: Take a load of pine knots, such as are used for burning coal, and burn them down to a coal, then extinguish the fire and feed the' hogs among the coals. The hogs, he said, would soon eat up the coals and the cholera would cease. The gentleman .' ho was telling Mr. Owens of the remedy said that he and several others had tried it for sev eral years, and that they had lost no hogs from cholera during that time. . ■ ■ They Couldn’t Stomach Harrison. Birmingham, Aug. 28.—The Re publican Congressional Convention of the Seventh Alabama district met in Anniston yesterday and decided not to make any nomination. A resolution endorsing the administration of Harri son was voted down. Punctuation’s Power. The Journalistic Warwick is not con fined entirely to the editorial room. Frequently the compositor, humbly but always efficaciously, takes a hack at that sort of thing. Recently he took possession of a piece of copy which in cluded the name “Thomas Burton King, of Georgia.” But by the dex terous and timely transposition of a comma he made the gentleman “Thomas Burton, King of Georgia,” and he would retain the rank now had not the proof reader stepped in and firmly shoved the comma over.— Washington Post. Death of an Aeronaut. Rome, Aug. 28.—The aeronaut, Borletti, met with a terrible death yes terday at TraHa. The baloon in which he had aseended caught fire and Bor- iettiwas precipitated to the ground from a great height and instantly kill ed. P. D.
