Under this headline the New York World has the following to say con cerning the slight offered Speaker Crisp at the Ea orm Club dinner on Saturday night* The misunderstanding which led to Speaker Crisp’s withdrawal from the Reform Club dinner on Satur day night was unpleasant and un fortunate. Speaker Crisp understood his in* vitation to include a request for a speech. His name was in the list of sneakers published before the din ner. He had prepared brief remarks and had given a copy to the press, And yet be was not called upon because, as Mr. Fairchild explained, “there was so many Democrats of prominence present that we could not let them all speak, and so had to limit the number.” But there was only one Democrat present of greater prominence than Speaker Crisp. |and that was Presi- dent-e’.ec’. The Speaker :.s the third officer of the Government He is the official leader of his party in the papular branch of Congrese. The club bad an undoubted right to choose its guests, but having invited Mr. Crisp it was a marked dis courtesy to omit ki9 name from the list of speakers. It was something worse than a d scourteey to add to the slight an invitatron to other speakers who antagonized and even insulted him when he had no chance to reply. As far as Speaker Crisp’s views upon >ke tariff ware involved in this matter, it deserves to be said that those views, both expressed in the temarkB which he had prepared and in the bills passed at the iast session of Coogaess, are more nearly in ac cord with the sentiments of Mr. Clev-land’s speech and letter of ac ceptance than were some of the opinions declared at the dinner— notably those of Congressman John son. It will be fortufiate for the Demo cratic party if the episode of Saturn d&y night shall have no more serious reeult than the unpleasant impresr sion which it produced. NO CONVENTION NEEDED- - Tne bill introduced into the House of Representatives to call a Cons i- tntional convention to frame a new Constitution"for the State of Geor gia is an unwise measure and should come out of the committee room with an adverse report stamped across it* The C nstitution of Georgia is an admirable instrument, and was framed by the ablest body of men to be found in Georgia in 1877. It is carefully writtea; it guards the in terests of the people well; it contains all necessary provisions for the wel fare of the people and heeds no change. The people do not want to change it, and the fewer amendments offered to it the better. It wonld be a waste of time and money to hold a Cinsti tutional convention. The author of the bill states that Georgia has outgrown the Constitu tion of 1877. This is a grave mis take. The genius of Robert Toombs, that giant of Georgia Statesmen, looked far into the future as it led that Constitutional convention in behalf of the rights of the people. N", the people, wish no change. Tas Democrats will oontrol the next Senate If they keep their wits about them and prevent the republicans from stealing several senatorehips in the West. An effort is being made to thwart the will of the people in Mon- inannd Wyoming, and to send back Rspnblioan Senators. The Democrats a*e on the alert, however. Editob CoorsB, of the Rome Tri- bane, announce a Christmas issue for tat splendid paper. Editor Ccoper is doing good work with the Tribune, and can always be found laboring for the best interests of the people, especially when it comes to the question of edu cation, both in the higher and common school bram hes. “ THE NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE The press of the country is almost unanimous in its condemnation of the action of E. Ellery Anderson at the Reform Club Banquet in New York in intentionally ignoring the presence of that distinguished Geor gian, Charles F. Crisp. The Honse of Representatives re sents the insult paid it by thus snub- ^ "hief officer and even offend- •jpv.. -gthe Preside a toc-leci. Bat the Atlanta Constitution gets neare^ a 'o tha truth of the situation .when it says: What is at the bottom of this op position ? It is not based on the idea that Speaker Crisp is not a tariff reformer, for he goes as far in that direction as Mr. Cleveland. He is quite as keen for tariff reform as any gsnuice Democrat, and is anxious to take prompt advantage of the pop nlar endorsement of the Democratic programme. What, ties, is the trouble? It is simply tliip, that Speaker Crisp is in favor of the free coinage of silver and the Reform Club is in favor of the policy of money monopoly—hav ing been organized, in fact, to furth er such a policy. That is the secret of the studied insult offered to the Speaker of the House. Well, we are glad is has come n that shape. If the goldolators and the money power propoee to control, that fact cannot be made apparent a moment too soon. We are glad that the iesuo is to be sqnarely made. It deserves to be fought cut on its merits. We thank Anderson for his method of beginning the new cam paign, and arc glad to note that Mr, tvelaod U disgusted with the treat- THE NEXT NATIONAL HOUSE The cleik of the house of repres sentalivep, Hon. James Kerr, has compiled what may be taken as an an official list of the representatives of the fifty-third congress. Leaving out the two members from Rhode Island^-not yet elected and one from Michigan, yet in doubt, the list shows 217 democrats, 128 republicans and eight populis’s, The largest republican represents tion in any state is twenty for Penn sylvania, as against ten democrats The largest exclusively democratic representation is thiru ea fn in Texas, and the largest exclusively republican representation is four from Maine. Illinois has a tie rep resentation. In Colorado the popu lists hive the congressmen all themselves. Such an overwhelming democratic majority ought to be a very h&ndy thing to have in the house. The people who elected this majority ex pect it to fulfil well its many and great responsibilities.—B >ston Globe -tditorial Comment. The Technological school gets twenty thousand dollars as. an appropriation for the purpose of purchasing new machinery to take the place of that des royed by fire some time since. That was a good movement on the pare of the House, and will he sanodond by the people of Georgia. Larry Gantt, in his p iper, the Co lumbia Register, s-tys: ‘*The best thing the Third party people over in Georgia can do is to hustle back into the Demo cratic party as fast as their legs can carry them.” when they are in attendance upon coun ty Inf tltutes. The school law requ res the teachers to sttmd these institutes, and the money to pay the normal in structors there is taken from the <choel fund, t nd thereby indirectly takt n from the tetchers’ salsries already. To take it out a second time would be wort than meat, ness, it would be robbery. In the smallness of their parsimony, a few members of the present legislature put to shame the most narrow minded of the late Poo pie’s party. We are thank ful that .the good sense of the Bouse spurned the suggestion. Savannah Press: The j ig committee is now a matter of ancient history. It was fought through the campaign and the people did notin- dorse Mr. Watson. It is aback number with dust and sealing w ax.and is safely pigeon-holed. Let the dead bury the dead. Mr. Watson should give us a few “eloquent flashes of silence” and the “threatened'’ expulsion can be safe ly side-tracked. Let congress work on the great problems of tariff reform and financial relief. Mr. Watson should be in sympathy with this polioy aEd should aid this great work.

In despair of the State doing any thing in the way cf getting up a World’* Fair exbibi',our hopes have lately turn ed in the direction of Augusta, where it was propose 4 , with a flourish of ban ners and a blare of trumpets, to get up a grand exhibit which would honor that city and illustrate this great Common wealth.

Is nobody going to take the matter in hand?”—Columti ■ Enquirer-Sun. Thb sole stock in trade of the Of po- nenta of Speaker Crisp is the false claim that he is not sound on the tariff meas ured by the Cleveland standard; whii> the truth is that he is even more ad- vacc d than .the president-elect, who believes in incidental protection in the levying rf a revenue tariff, while Spea ker Crisp takes the straight Democrat ic doctrine as enunciated at Chicago that “protection is robbery.”—Americas Times-Recorder. Mr. E Ellery Andebb:.n can snub Speaker Crisp as much as be pleases, but he will find that gentleman in the speaker’s obair of the next House all the same. The condnct of Anderson in ig noring the repeated calls for Crisp at the banquet of the Reform Club a few nights since is repudiated by all loyal Democrats in the nation, and is re garded as a breach of etiquette, to say the least of it, of whioh* no true mhn would be guilty.

Augusta Herald: Mr. Crisp may not have a walk-over for the Speakership, but be will proba bly be elected. Some of his opponents are trying to o n vey the impression that he is not Mr. Cleveland’s choice. Some Demrcr&ts appear to have made Mr Cleveland a^'kind of benevolent Czir .who is to decide everything for every body. He makes no such claim himself. 'But men like Congressman Breckin ridge, of Kentucky, appear to have surrendered all individuality on the subject.

Borne Tribune: There was something ineffably small in tbeeffort to take from the teachers in country schools their salary for the time The Marriage of Mr. Henry Comer to MJssMnnte Baughi Wednesday. Wedneslay morning a beautiful we - ding ceremony was performed at Mayesville. It was the marriage of Miss Minnie Bang!:, of that place, to Mr Henry Crmer, of Athens, and occurred at the Methodirt church. The church was beautifully deco rated and the c.remony was very im pressive. The attendants came into tbe church in the following order: Mr Howard Wo-ding with Miss Ida Baugh; Mr G E Deadwyler, Jr., with M i -a May Comer; MrJE Atkins with Miss Lillie Comer. Then cime the bride and bridegroom, and at tbe altar were met by Rev G W Duval who pro nounced them man and w fs after the ceremonial rightes of the Methodist church. Miss Baugh was one of Mayesville’s most beautiful and accomplished daughters, and Mr. Comer is one of Athens’ most popular young business men. r Mr. and Mrs. Comer oime directly to Athens where they will in tbe fnture reside. The almost unanimous opinion from many of our most prominent business men published in yesterday's Banner that tbe greatest need of Athens was manufactories and small industries and a better support of those we fiave, led our reporter to interview tbe manufac turers themselves, and learn tbeir opin ions, their plans, and their prospects for the future- The first one visited was the Athens Foundry & Machine Works, on Foun dry b reef. Mr, Win. F.emit-g was seen in hu office, and on belt g spoken to said: “We are now employing about thirty-five men. Business is quiet now, bat is v ry promising for the next year. We have now an order for the boilers, engines, small pumps and special cast ings for the city waterworks, and have just shipped an engine, boilir and saw mill outfit to Irene, N. C. “We are manufacturing engine?, saw mills, cotton presses, shaftings pulleys and all kinds of machinery and f -un- dry work. The community has been very liberal in supporting us, giving ns all the work possible.” When asked what factories would succeed if opened here, he said: “A furniture f dory would do splendidly here We have plenty or lumber, and the loc .1 t: a ie would consume almost as much as such a factory could pro duce. “The people of Athens must come to gether. establish unity and work to gether to accomplish anything Tne oity is greatly in need of a commercial club, or board of trade, that would help foster our p*eseot industries and develop plans for new ones.” Mr/Tnomas Bailey, of Thomas Bai lej & Co.’s foundry and machine shops, on Thomas street, was next seen, and when tbe subj ct was referred to, said: “We are now employing twenty-four men. We usually work about thirty. We m&nufaotnro saw mills, cotton gins, syrup mill?, presses and all kinds of machinery. “Business is very quiet just now, ow ing to tbe general depression through out tbe o ountry, but we i xpect to put up a new bui ding after Christmas. We are crowded iu our present building, ar.d are obliged to have more room.’ In regard to new industries and dud- ufactories and industries, Mr, Bailey said: “A hardware Lctory and a fac tory to manufacture agricultural imple ments would do well here. Rents are low and timber is plentiful, and such things could be manufactured here as cheap as anywhere. “I think a knitting mill would do well, too, and believe it would u&e all the cotton we could supply. “But I do object to the special tax upon us manufacturers. My sp oial tax this year was as much as my gen eral tax I have considered moving away from here several times on ac count of this.” Mr. J. A. Hunnicutt, P.e=ident of the Athens Oil & Fertilizer Manufac turing Co., on Pulaski street, was seen at the Savings Btnk about two o’clock and said : “Our company is doing a good business. I endorse every move ment that will encourage small indus tries and manufactories, especially giv ing them low taxes ” Mr G.T. Johnson, manager of tbe Oil Mill and Ice Factory said:- “The oil business is good. The mill is going day and nigh*, and works from twenty- five to thirty hand. The ioe plant em ploys about ten. Tbe prospect for next year’s business is very promising. “The special tax though in this town is ontrsgeona. Why, there are other towns offering-industries to bo exempt from any tax for twenty years if they will come to them, and I don’t see how they can expect them to come to Ath ens without some suoh inducements.

Topexa, Dec. 14.—The Populist lead ers have been interviewed concerning the statement that the 20,000 votes cast for the Weaver elemenJi__6hould be counted for Weaver, because the Demo cratic ticket containing the names of the Weaver electors was headed “Dem ocratic ticket.” The Populists say the only way now, that the vote has been canvassed, by which the voters can be prevented from casting their votes for Weaver is a court order restraining them from so casting the vote. In the first place the voters do not instruct the electors as to whom they are to oppose for the presidency. The electors may vote as they please; moreover, the electors were more Peo ple’s party men than they were Demo crats. The Peopie’s party ticket was not indorsed by the Democratic con vention—it was nominated by it. Be- fox - e the convention this point had been carefully considered by the leaders who directed the fusion movement. ANSWER THIS QUESTION.

Masked Men Board a Train. Huntington, W. Ya. Doc 14.—Ad at tempt was made here last night to rob the east bound Chesapeake and Ohio passenger train. Two men boarded the train at midnight; one nearly six fret in height, with long flowing hair, wore a broad sombrero and had the appear ance of cf a cow boy. The otter was a red-headi d boy abut eighteen years old, coarsely, commonly dressed. Both wore belts heavily burdened with wea pons. Just after the train left the depot, they both put on masks, drew large Colts’ revolvers and entered the comb immediately ahead of the sleeper. They ordered all hands up an 1 proceeded to search the passengers. One of the first was a Mr. Eiser, or Tuck, as other re ports say, walkirg in the aisle. He said he had no money and resisted, in stantly the tall man fired two shots it>to bis brain and he fell dyit g. A panic ensued dunr g which the train mm reached the scene and a general light ensued. The cjw boy pulled the bell cord and the train stopped at Twentieth street, where he and his companion es caped. A passenger named Fl.<nna- gan received & bullet in the foot daring the fight. There is no olee except a mask and an oveiooat dropped by the robbers. Shortly af erwards Bulwer Forgey, who livid near the scene, beeri noises on bis premises, and in going to tbe door was assailed with revolver shots, one bu'let striking him on the right shoulder and breaking his arm. No attempt was made to rob him and it is supposed the desperadoes, trying to escape in the dark, were determined to prevent pursuit. Ic is suspected that they are members of a gang of toughs now infesting this city. Huntikgto «, W. V*. k D c.

Editor Banner : -I desire, both as a citizen of Athens and a proper y owner on College avenue, to present a few- plain facts in answer to your editorial in this morning's issue, in regard to cutting down the hdl on College ave nue near tha G. C. & y. railroad depot. You speak of the propos.d cutting dawn of thishiil as being < f “question able benefit.” Certainly you have not considered the matter from a reasona ble or rational standpoint Certainly you have not consulted all the facts connected with this proposed enter prise, and you seemiDg y have lo.-t sight i f the fact that this hill looms up there as a standing monument, advertising to every visitor to our c ty who comes and goes over the G. C. & N. railro.d, that there ia great lack i f public ent-rprU.e on the pirtofour city. The G C & N. railroad today brirgs to atd carries from Athens more people than til the other roads combined, and I dare say the sams is largely true as to flights. Then is it not a public necessity to have his hill cut down ? I . there an enter prise in contemplation in o ir city that would go farther towards favorably ad vertising our city ? Strang-rs • re easi ly impressed, either favorably or unfa vorably, with tho routes of entrance and exit of our city. When the depot of the Northeastern rai'ro&d was kept at its former location, did not the eby think it all important to grade a id im prove the streets leading to an 1 from 'hat depot, pod hasten to make said im provements? Is not the same true as regards the Georgia Railroad depot? Then why n< gleet or refuse to improve the streets leiding to and from the G, O. & N. depot? So much upon this question as a much needed public en terprise. Now as to the question of ex pense. The City Engineer, Capt Barnett, stated that in laying and constructing the new wat: r work*, one of the mains will have to pass over this hill, and that uni -ss the hill is cut down it will h.<ve to be done at. heavy expanse to tbe city. He further states that in cutting this hill clown it w ill, aside from being a grea f public advantage, save largely to the city in the er.d in laying and mcin- .aining said water mains Is tnia not conclusive? Need more be said, in ju-tificition of such needed public im provement being ma le, especially as i; will ui questionably save larg ly to the city. I would like, Mr. Editor, to ask you, where and what are the improve ments of so much more necersity and of •o much mote unquestionable b netit ihan tbe cutting down of tlvs hill, and vhichyou so positively allude to ia y.mr editorial ? Now, as to the quescion of damsge uits which might arise out of thi3 im- povemeut Every property owner who would be iu the least effected by cutting down thi3 hill, save Dr. E. S.

Small against two newspaper correspondents for pub lications concerning him dnring the late congressional election ended in his com plete vindication. The charge was that Mr. Small one night in Lithonia, in the hotel there, had his room filled with negroes, to -whom he was giving out money and campaign punch. It developed on trial that the word punch was a misprint for funds, and that the money that he paid out was to a church subscription brought to him by several negroes. In the light of these proofs Mr. Small stated to the court that he had brought this suit to establish the falsity of the charges, which would be detrimental to his character as a preacher; that he had been grievously slandered, and that he wanted the truth known. The attorneys for the defense dis claimed that their clients had intended any reflection on Mr. Small’s character, and had no animus against him at all. Judge Westmoreland, presiding, con gratulated Mr. Small on the fact that (he evidence disclosed nothing but what was to his credit; that not one discredi table act had been brought home to him, and (hat lie could go forth with the consciousness that not one wrong act attached to his character. The judge spoke these words with evident feeling, and iu suoh a way as to be very gratifying to Mr. Small. Hood’s Sarsaparilla I feel well and am well. All who know me marvel to see me so well.” D.
