Ex-Sscretary Bayard thinks "the first step toward 'pension reform should be the publication of the list of pensioners in every county. It is significant that Northern papers who favor the reform, says the Macon Telegraph, in approving the Ex«Sec retary’s idea, express the be ief that the effect of giving publicity to the lists would be very great. If they are right, the condition of affairs must be very disgraceful The pen sion Ust ought to be a roll of honor What must it be in reality when men who are drawing pensions fear that they will be disgraced if their neigh, bors find them ont ? It is evident that many of them have such fear, or newspapers published in the same communities are very much iu error. The Rochester Herald indicates the reasons for their uneasiness when it declares that * a man whose services in the war were not hazardous, who never saw even a skirmish,or who has twill his claim on imaginary injuries may well fear this measure of justice. Publici y in such cases would mean exposure, and exposure would mean disgrace in the eyes of friends and neighbors, who would be sore to read the list with especial reference to his case. Such is human curiosity, and in this instance it would not be without its uses.” . ‘-Another class of pensioners who would be put to shame in this way is that of the wealthy citizens who are sharing the government largess k Some of them are probably of the \ ‘dependent” class of pensioners and f their discomfiture would be greatly ' eijoyed by the hundreds of hard > **‘‘Worklng > aefegbofoecT veterans, who have never thought it necessary to ask for government aid though far batter entitled to it than some who are drawing large sums.” HOW'TO COVER A TREASURY DEFICIT. tie first step should be a radical oi expenses, says the "Courier. Journal. Offices should be consolidated, and hundreds should be abolished. Appropriations should be reduced. Subsidies should be canceled and strenuoas efforts should be made to bring the expenses j within the revenues. The customs taxes should be re* dneed in order to increase the rev enup. For instance, the tax on tin plates should be* restored to one cent, the revenue basis, from the |McKinley ratio of 2.2 cents per ind. Revenue duties would large- inorease the revenues, and, at the Ume time, would greatly reduce tax ation. Sugar Trust is protected by *on refined sugar of half a t, having raw sag&r flee. The Soghr* Trust, instead ol Jvernment, coileola the tax. foe tax of half a cent should be ap |lied to all sugar, raw and refined, it shonld be abolished. If it were ! on all sugar the price would not tdvatce, but $16,000,000 now ool- *ed by the Trust would be collect fd by the Treasury. In addition to the sugar bounty shonld be io'iehed, thus saving $9,COO 000. a change iu the sugar schedule :h as we have indicated the differ- ;e in revenue would be $25,000,- |0 This, with olhe.r-^ngea cf ohibitive to revenue duties, and economy, would meet the im» Sale requirements of the Govern- CR1SP IS ON TOP. % kJhe E orm Club incident has at passed away, and the it. flu- it has excited has been to gthen the candidacy of Charl-s isp lor the Speak* rship.

There is no reason why our people should buy their goods away from this city. Our merchants here are selling goods just as cheap, if not cheaper, than merchants in Atlanta or other places. It is money saved to the people to do their trading at home, and we are glad to see that our people are profiting by this doc£ trine. The Banner practices what it preaches and does not solicit ad vertisements that conflict with the business of its local patrons. The way in which to build up a city is to keep as much of the products of its citizens at home as is possible to do -tditona/ Comment. The Albany Herald has been making some researches to disoover the origin of some popular slang expressions of the day. The Herald says: The expression ‘‘not in it” is not one of such modem slang as would have appeared at first thought; in proof of which witness this sen^Doe from Shakespeare’s "Winter’s Tale;" "And they have a dance, which the wenches say is a gallimaufry of gambols because they arenotin’e.” Dr. Hawthorne in bis sermon in Atlanta practically said that tbe Boulof Jay Gould is in Hades. We &to no lev ers of Gould or his memory, yet we be lieve there is a passage of Scripture that says: "Judge not that ye be not judg ed.” It is not for men to say what P issed between J ay Gould and his Ma ker, and it were ebarity to hope that as he approached the needle’s eye, the bur den rolled from his shoulders. The legislature has adjourned, and will not meet again until October next The antagonistic attitude of that body towards higher education and the defeat of the Soldiers’ Home bill ougltto be lasting nightmares to those who com posed the majority on those questions giving them no rest or peace of mind until a change of policy is inaugurated. Col Elliott Shepard’s business manager swore in court that the Col. got so drunk that he could uot tell whethtr another man was drank or not.

The Sunday edition of the Atlanta Constitution, covering thirty-six pages of well-prepared matter, was a paper such as is rarely seen in Georgia. It was not a special issue, hut was gotten out just iu the ordinary ran of business. It was of such a character as to reflect great credit on its editors.

Atlanta Constitution: Congressman Dingley’s point that tbe Seminole war cost the government $800 per head of the Indians engaged in i>, and that the bill to reimburse tbe State of Florida, for its losses during tbe struggle would be adding $2,000, per head suggests another comparison. The Louisville Courier-Journal shows that it cost the Federal government $9,000- per head to put down the 600,000 men in the Confederate army. It will beseen, therefore, that the Seminoles were disposed of at a very small cost, and even if the State of Florida is reim bursed the expense will be oce-third less than the cost per head of reduoing the Confederates. We have always believed that tbe soldiers in the armies of Lee and John ston were worth their weight in gold, and the statement that it cost $9,000 per man to finally defeat them is in itself striking tribute to their worth. Of coarse, the pension Ust is included la this estimate, and this makes the matter still more interesting. Mr Dingley will find that bis figures will only result in calling attention to the pension list, and they will make the necessity for itB revision aU the more apparent. Atlanta Journal: Now that the legislature has adj >urn e J an interesting reflection is suggested by an examination of tbe composition of the mors representative section of that body in connection with a back, ward look at its economical coarse. The ; house, for instance, contained 65 farmers, or 81 counting those who mix farmi ng with other pursuits. This was in striking contrast with the last legislature, which was overwhelmingly a farmers’ body. There are 44 lawyers in the present house, 5 merchants, 12 merchant-farmers, 9 physicians, 3 j »ur- nalists, 2 bankers, 4 ministers, 4 teach ers, 3 capitalists, 2 millmen and one stock farmer. The remaining members are classified as follows: Farmer and naval stores, 2; farmer and minister, 4 farmer ana banker, 1; farmer and man ufaeturer, 1; farmer and miUman, farmer and physician, 2; farmer «ud journalist, 1; farmer and warehouse man, I; lawyer and minister, 1; bank er and manufacturer, 1; merc&ant and miller, 2; real estate and live stock,T. In spite of the f ot, as shown by this classification, that th^re are fewer farm ers in the present house than there were in the last, it proved itself a much more stringently economical body than any of its predecessors of recent y.a s. The Atlanta Journal rises to remark that, “the number and variety of bak ing powder ads in the newspapers would surfaces seem to stamp this country as the "ris ing generation.” Editor Brkwsikk is improvi g the Banks Ounty Gazette wonderfully Southern Appeal: Hon. Hoke Smith, as a cabinet officer, would certainly be a gratifying sp.c tac’.e to his myriad of admit era. If Mr. Cleveland proposes to recognize Geor gta in selecting his cabinet, there is no better timber to be found for attorney general of the United States'than Geor gia’a great lawyer. Noether individ ual in the State did so mnch toward piling up the vast majority which was so handsomely polled for Mr. Cleveland in the last election. A fitting rt cogni- 'ion of Georgia, and an action that would give general satisfaction to our army of voters, would be the appoint ment ot Mr. Hoke Smith to the torney Generalship, a position which he is admirably adapted, wou’d Hill with befitting dignity.

Mass meetings have been held in Oco nee county, two by tbe Democrats and one by the Third party. The two first meetings each party nominated a fall ticket for county officers.

Reayes after coming home, bang his rubber coat iu its accustomed place on tbe rack in' the hall. A few hoars afterwards when it was looked for, it was missing. Mr. Reaves at once sn p cted and traced the theft to Wm. Taylor, (col. who bad been about the house. A war rant was sworn out for uim, and yes terday at the court house he was seen among the spectators of the days pro ceedings and was arrested by that capa ble and efficient officer known as the “Bailiff that wears the spurs.” It seems that a regular epidemic of murders has broken out in Georgia, and that our section is having its share of them. Nearly every mail and railroad train brings the news of some tragedy hap pening in our vioinity in which whiskey is generally at the bottom of the tron- ble. Tuesday evening about five o’clock, a terrible tragedy occurred about two miles above Center, inwbiob Mr. H. C. Hunter, known more familiarly as Gov. Huntei. lost his life at the hands of Thomas Fanner, a} young white man about thirty years of age. It seems that Hunter had been living in a house owned by Farmer and that Farmer desired him to vacate. Tuesday afternoon Farmer served a writ upon Hunter, requiring the possession of the property, and Hun ter told him to “go to hell.” Farmer walked back to his house, and in a short while overtook Hunter again on tbe road, and begin to quarrel with him. The affair from that juncture is bes: cold by Mr. Will Cooper, a man who •aw the shooting. He says: “I was at work on a little house near tbe road, but out of view because of a dump of woods. Several other men were at work also there. Mr. Hunter’s little boy came running up to wherqjwe were at work tad asked us to copm down to the road as his father and Mr. Farmer were fighting. We started, and before we reached the road a pistol shot was heard "We ran to tbe road, and and as we namfLtn-sigbt, I saw Govj Hunter run ning down the road withbis hands over bis head, crying out, ‘D Ai’t shoot me! Don’t shoot me 1’ “Farmer was in hot pursuit behind him and fired as. rapidly as he could three shots. Hunter ran behind a tre and said to the orowd, ‘Don’t let him sho t me! He has already killed me. Farmer pushed his pistol in his face, and would have put a bullet through his brain, but for the interference of Mr. Eaglish who rushed upon him and knocked the pistol aside.” Farmer was arrested and carried to Jefferson, where he was lodged in j til Hunter was carried to his home where everything possible was done to save him. Two bullets had entered his back and two went through his bowels. He died yesterday morning at thAse o’clock surrounded by his family and friends. He was unarmed daring the entire difficulty. \ Mr. Hunter was a half brotllerof Mr. Sam Hunter, of this city, and) leaves a mourn THE WASHINGTON BUDGET.

Washington, Dec. 21.—Mr. Blaine holds to the improvement noted in his condition lately. He rested well during the night and entered the morning re- fresed and .consequently better prepared to a very slight degree to resist the rav ages of disease. The malady is organic however, and in the nature of things must grow worse with time. Dr. Loomis says: “Mr. Blaine is in a very critical condition, yet there is not any immedi ate danger. He may die at any moment or live for weeks.” Information has been received at the the treasury to the effect that the finan cial flurry in New York .was practically over for the present, and there is no longer a prospect of a panic. Money is reported easy, and exchange has fallen below shiyping point, so that the heavy exportations of gold are not likely to continue. Secretary Foster stated that $3,000,000 in gold had been taken out of the treas ury this week, and that about $1,500,000 more would probably be cast before the week ended.

Paris, Dec. 21—.The excitement over the Panama scandal is greater than ever and there are the wildest reports of monarchist plots and coming arrests. It is asserted that Herz has been in communication in London with the ogfents of the Count of Paris, and that the exposure of the Thierre checks is directly attributable to the Royalist in fluence. Another rumor is that the officials and deputies, as well as civilians con nected with the Panama scandal, have had it intimated to them that their sal vation lies in the espousal of Royalist schemes, and that all their offenses will be condoned if they will .
