The Democratic caucus ha« just end ed tlie deadlock in the Speakership race and nominated the dashing Georgian. The speaker of the House of Repre- wntatives is Charles F. Crisp, of Geor- gii.

The friends of the Georgian haye never been otherwise than confident of t ie dual re-u’t, and his strength has never diminished. O i the first ballot he easily took' the lead, which be maintained until the close. At the close of the balloting on Satur day night, Crisp led Mills only three vot -s. and under those circumstances it looked very much like a dark horse would come in, bat this morning things began to change color somewhat. Mills bad nearly reached bis full strength and bis only hope was to keep Springe? and JfcMillifyin t^erape to the finish. puring the c&rly part of the day it looked very much like a dead lock, and even at 2i90 o’clock, tbe changes were very slight, and the name of William I*. Wilson, of West Virginia, prominentlytSpokenof as a compromise candidate. Slowly, howiver, Crisp began to pall sway from |he lllustfioiis Tfu^an, and it only became a question tbpo ftS to whether he could control enough of the votes of Springer and iluMillin to elect him. It is now approaching midnight and no full details of tbe balloting can be t. >n the thirtieth ballot, there wgre ait-rops changes. Tbe first figures owed Crisp 1P4, Mills 94.

There was an unusually large num ber of new senators to swear in, count- ing up seventeen without tbe senator from Florida, neither the names of Call nor that of Dawson being on the priuted list of senators at noon. * A LIBEL SUIT PILED Against the Faculty of the Southern Medical College.

[From Chicago Tribune -i The public is always responsive to suggestions about the food it eats •reat interest has been taken in tbe investigations made by the United States and Canadian governments and bv the different boards of health to show the purity or impurity of milk baking powders, spices, and other ar ticles of daily use in the culinary de partments of our household-. Just now the subjc-ct of baking pow der is claiming pubi c attention. We all desire pare and wholesome bread and this cannot be had with the use of impure or poisonous baking powder There can be no longer any question that all the cheaper lower grades of baking powders contain either alum, lime or phosphate acid. The official analyses by the United States and Canadian governments have therefore been studied with interest and have pretty clearly established the facts upon this subject. The United States government report gives tbe names of eighteen well-known powders, some of them advertised as pure cream of tartar biking powders, that contain alum. The report shows that tbe Roval bak ing powder was found the highest in leavening strength, evolving 160 6 cub ic inches of gas per single ounce of powder. There were eight other brands of oream of tartar powders tested and their average strength 115.5 cubic inches of gas per ounce of powder. The Canadian government investiga tions were of a «till larger number of powders. The Rovs* baking powder was here also shown the purest and highest in strength, containing 129 32 cubic inches of leavening gas per ounce of powder. Nine other cream of tartar powders were tested, their average strength being reported to be 89 cubic inches of gas per ounce. These figure are very instructive to the practical housekeeper. They indi cate that the Royal baking powder goes more than 33 per cent, further in u*e than the others, or is one-third more economical. Still more importtmt than this, however, they prove this popular article has been brought to the highest degree of parity - for to its superlative purity this superiority in strength is due—and consequently that by its use we may be insured tbe pnrest and most wholesome food The powders of lower strength are found to leave large ara-aintu of inert matters in the food This fact is em phasized by the report of the Ohio State Food Commissioner, who, while find ing the Royal practically pure, found no other powder to contain less than 10 per cent, of inert or foreign ma t -rs The public interest in the question has likewise caused to he made investi gations by our local authorities Prof W .S. Haines, of Rush Medical Colleges consulting chemist of the Chicago Board of Health, has found results similar to those reported hy the nation al and Canadian authorities. Dr Haines says: Rttsh Medical College, Chicago, III 4 have recently obtained samples of the chief baking powders in the market, and have aabjtpted them to careful cheipioal examination to detain it-** their purity, wholesomeness and leav ening powers. As the result of my tests 1 find tbe Royal baking powder super) or to ill the others in every respect. It is entirely free fraip adulteration and unwholesome impurity, and in baking in gives off a greater volnm eof leaven ing gas than any other powder. It is, therefore, not ODly tbe purest, but also the strongest powder with which l am acquainted. Waiter S. Haters, M. D. Cot suiting Chemist, Chicago Board of Health, The statistics show that there is used in the manufacture of the. Royal baking powder more than half of all the cream of tartar consumed in the United States for all purposes The wonder ful sqle thus indicated for tbe Royal baaing powder—greater than that of all other baking powders combined—is perhaps eyen a higher evidence than that already quoted of the superiority of this artiole, and its iudispen sableness to modern oookerey.

Some Good and Feasible Plana Upon Which the Safety of the South Can be Made Secure—Cotton Men Read it- Here is a very important matter to cotton growers. It is the report of a committee from the Atlanta Cotton Convention and should be read by all. The report is as follows; With bankruptcy staring the cotton producer in the face, brought about by either over production or contraction caused by adopting the gold standard of values, it becomes the duty of every cot ton grower to consider the remedy. Tour committee appointed to address you upou this subject at the recent Cot ton Grower’s Congress held in Atlanta, makes the following suggestions for yonr earnest consideration. There should be organized in eai-h cotton growing State, an association of tbe cotton producers, and in each coun ty, a sub-ass^ ciation to act with the Cotton Grower’8 Congress recently or ganized in Atlanta, according to the f allowing resolutions: * Resolved, That tbe president of this conyention be authorized to call this or a similar convention at such time and place as in his judgment may be best lo the interest of ihe cotton growers of tbe South. R> solved, that the representation in this convention shall be double the rep resentation that each State has in the lower House of Congress; the dele gates to be appointed by tbe president of the various State Agricultural Soci eties and Alliances. That when dele gates can not attend they shall be al- oiv* d to appoint their own alternates. The convention adjourned subject to the call of the chairman. We should urge.upon the various Cot ton Exchanges in tbe cotton States to act witb tbe cotton growers to formu late rules to govern the cotton trade in all its branches. We should urge upon the Legisla tures of the Soutnern States to enact a law requiring all transportation compa nies no- to receive any bale of ootton that is not well packed and fully cov ered. The planter should require the factors to take better care of cotiou consigned to them. In reducing tbe acreage we should consider the requirement of tbe . world for American cotton an I conform our production to the wants of the consum er. It is a mistaken idea that by reduc ing the crop below the consumption of the world that we can increase the price when such a course would check con- umpttou&nd stimulate the culture of cotton in other countries and bring about sin equilibrium of prices. Therefore we should endeavor to regulate by the re duction in acreage the production of cotton to the actual consumption of tbe world, or in other words we would cet as much per pound for a 7,750,000 bate crop as with a 7,000,099 bale cropi and wheq wp consider tbe average yieiu of oottbn"per acre is ^99 Founds we can in some measure regulate the produc tion; but at all times we mu3t consider tbe effects of tbe season upou the yield of c-iops, wbioh is beyond our control As a general thing large crops follow small oqes, and vice versa, lu the ex tensive system we should regulate tbe ^reduction iu tbe same ratio as the non- ntenaivesjsien, always keeping b.fore us the actual cousumption ot the world, that is, to regulate cur production to meet tuat uousuniption without creat ing a surplus; if we can do this we will receive remunerative prices for our cotton. Wherever practicable the cotton rak er should sell direct to the Southern mills, as the grower would save com mission, freight, drayage, insurance, loss in weight, and last but not. least, extravagant sampling The Southern mills would save freight and excessive sampling. We should endeavor to have the cot ton gold fu bulk, as it can be done cheaper than being soli in detail. There are too many middle meq Thefe should be adopted a uniform size apfi weight in packing cotton; uni form si'ge would be beneficial for for eign shipment. We should adopt a atanda a sizeof bale, and require the press builders to conform to tbe stand ard. Wo should discard the gins that knap or cut the staple In ginning cot ton tamples should be considered before oleaning the seqd. Classification should be regulated at the South and uniform, which can be done by the united action of the cotton growers and tbe Cotton Exchanges in thq Southern States. Good cotton is made or injured by the cotton pickers, and we ghouid regulate the prices of picking by the cleanliness with which it is picked. The uniform price by paying for cotton alone by the hundred should bq abandoned, or in other words a olean picker should be paid more than a trashy or dirty picker. If we adopt this system we will bave clean cotton, and saye the money we now par for trash gnd dirt. We must pick the cotton free from all foreign substance. it is almost impossible to prevent what is palled mixed packed bales, for often we plant two grades of land which produce two kinds of cotton, and we often mix qoiton that has never been rained on witb that that has stood in the field and been rained upon; these cau-? ■«s with others, make mixed packed bales, and the'producer is blamed and taken advantage of on account of cause which he could not present. I; a thorough organization of the coition growers in the ootton States we can regulate cotton production and pro- teot ourselves from all unjust exactions, ilemands and advantages which a te now taken of us because ql aur dlsorgaoizsd condition, to union and combination Washington, Deo. 9.—[Special ]— The pr sideut’s raes-age was read u— fore iioth bouses of congress on their assembling today.

Concerning the work # tbe state department the president sayk that it has been characterized,>y an un usual number or important negotiation-* and by diplomatic results of a notable and highly beneficial character. The president announces the comple tion an agreement witb tbe British gov ernment for a close season iii the seal fisheries in Behring sea until May 1, 1892.

Concerning th y attack on the sailors of the United States Man of war, Balti more, in tbe harbor o* Va.paraiso on tbe 10th of Oct., and the killing of si v- eral of their number, the president re cites the demand for reparation made by this government on the Chilian thorilies, and says: It is said to be regretted that the re ply of of the secretary for foreign af fairs of the provisional government was couched in an offensive tone. To this no response has been made. This government is now avraiting the result of dn investigation which has been conducted by the criminal court rt Valparaiso. Concerning the influx of exile Rus sian Jews into this country, which tbe president estimates will amount to over one million in the next few years, be says. Some other considerations as well as the suggestions of human! ty furnish ample grounds for the re monstrances which tie government presented to Russia. _ Of the work of tbe census bureau, the president says, “the methods pni- sued have been fair, careful and intel ligent, and have secured the approval of the BtatiBtioans, who have followed them with scientific and non-partisan interest. ?HK FORCE BILL. I must yet entertain the hope that it is possible to secure a calm, patriotic consideration of such constitutional or statutory changes as may be necessary to a choice of officers of the government to the_people by fair appointment and full elections. I believe it would lie impossible to constitute a commission non-partisan in iu membership aud composed of patriotic, wise and impar tial men to whom a consideration of tar question of the evils connected with our election system and methods might be committed witb a good prospect of se curing unanimity in a plan for remov ing or mitigating those evils. The constitution would permit the se lection of the committee to be vested in tbe Supreme court if that method would give the' best guaranty of iin- parrialitvr This comniissiou should be charged with the duty of inquiring into the a hole subject of. the law of e’eetious. as related to the choice of i ffiuers of the National government with a view to securing to every elector a free and u n- molested exercise of the suffrage and as near an approach to an equality of value iu each ballot castas is attainable.

WASHINGTON GOSSIP. Jadse Appointed—The Silver Question. Blnlne and the Presidency, Washington, Dec. 8,—President Har rison has decided to appoint Will H. Taft of Cincinnati, to one of thq judge ships authorized under *p act ol' the last congress. 44 had been his intention flU idouR to. giye one of the plaoes to Oh.ioi. There were only two names ever iprioqsly contemplated by him from the Qtate, These were John W, Waning* ton of Cincinnati, qnd W ill H. Taft. A few days ago the president received a. letter from Judge Warrington with drawing from the contest. This at once determined Taft’s selection, and his. Rame will be sent to the sedate when, the person to succeed Mr. Taft as so]i<\ itor general is fixed upon. The president will meet the silver question half way in his annual mes sage. He. will ask congress to author ize the appointment of a commission on behalf of the United States, and to give the authority to request the European nations to also appoint a like commis sion, with the view to an international Conference on the silver qnestiau. In this way he hopes to soften the effect of an emphatic veto of a free silver bill, which he anticipates will be sent him quite early In January Mr. Blaine has no present intention, of writing a letter to anybody with reference to his attitude on the pres;-, dential question. No op# knows now whether he will be a candidate, or in deed whether he would accept a nomi nation. Meanwhile his friends remain in a quandary. So long as he maintains, his position of silence he does the presi dent the favor, at all events, of keeping out rival candidates.

Mr, O. I Mell, the active and ener getic manager of 'he A'liunce ware house iu Athens, was seen yesterday and asked about the business this Sea : >-on.

We are lending no money, aud this makes our business safe. The farmers who patronize us bave beeu mostly Alliancemen up to this date, but we are now going into the merchants territory and have several large businesses which are not from the Alliance.” THEY WON’T HOLD IT. “The Alliancemen are not boldine their cotton this year,” Mr. Mell went on to say. “They sell it about as fast as they send ft *n and out of the 7,000 bales received this year we have on hand only about one tbomand. The other warehoust s are holding more, show ing that the alliancejnen as a rule are more inclined to sell than the non-alli- ancemen. They are selling in order to pay their debts, and I think this is & commendable spirit.” PoksRoot and Potassium is the greatest blood purifier of the age.

Speaking of her life and death the Augusta Gbiooioie says: MLs Eliza Anu Crawford, daughter of Hon Wil- linna H Crawiord, was horn May 3, 1809, and died Nov. 28, 1891, at the home of her brother, Rev Dr. W.
