rcsentatives Feb. 1, was laid before |
the fnll membership of the senate com
mittee on finance at 11 a. m., in the I
•mended form rnon which the Demo
cratic majority of that committee finally
•greed after one whole month's consid
eration and numerous changes upon all
the more important objects of taxation.
Simultaneously with the presentation
of the bill to the fnll committee it was j
given out for publication through the
press. The chief features upon which
public interest is centered were the pro*

scope test shall pay a duty of one and
four tenths cents per ponnd.

Iron ore also dross or reaiduem from
burnt pyrites 40 cents per ton.
■— — Coal is taken from the free'list and
made dutiable also at 40 cents per ton
and coke at 15 cents.
Lead ore, which in the Wilson bill
was 15 per cent ad valorem, is as fol
lows: Lead ore and lead dross, three-
fourths of 1 cent per ponnd; provided,
that silver ore and all other ores contain
ing lead shall pay a duty of three-fourths
of 1 cent per pound on the lead contain
ed therein, according to the sample and
assay at the' port of entry.
Raw wool is left on the free list exact
ly as in the Wilson bill, tbs provision to
go into effect Ang. 2, 1894.

fthat is from three to eight years,
i Cigars, $5 a thousand; cigarettes in
paper, $1 a thousand; cigarettes in to
bacco, 50 cento a thousand.
Lumber remains on the free list.
The income tax provision of 2 per cent
remains on the bill, but the tax on non-
kesidents is stricken oat.
i, The woolen schedule shows s few
Bhangee. Where changed, there is about
{B per cent redaction. No changes are
made in the cotton schedule. Collars
mid cuffs ar# increased from 85 to 45
rper cent advalorem. The date for the
going into effect of the bill is changed
from June 1 to June 30, and a duty is
levied on articles imported or wlUidrawn
for consumption.

tsmment that the United States will ter-
kainate in 12 months the treaty with
flkawaii made in 1875.

by the Wilson bill on imported tobacco.

Mrs. Blackburn was cross examined
by Colonel Thompson in the nsnal man

excited under the strain.
"It is useless,” she said, "to ask' me
any more questions. I have told every
thing I know concerning this case, and
all farther questions are useless.” She
added with tears in her eyes:
"It is a terrible ordeal for me to pass
through here, and which a man has
forced me to,” (alludingto Breckinridge).
"If I had the protection of a husband it
would never have been necessary.”

Their Deader Was Formerly a Methodist
Class Leader and From Among His
Class Has Evolved This New Order
Which Has Grown to Pretentions Pro
portions In Lower Georgia.
WaYCBOSS, Ga., March 9.—"Park
er’s Class” is a very peculiar sect which
organized here two years ago. It
membership has increased from a men
handful to an army of 2,000.
The territory of the organization. i
throughout South Georgia, extending to
several counties id Florida. The founder
and president, William Parker, was :
class leader in the Methodist church
here. His class was composed of tin
very poor of the church.
Meetings were held once a week at a
private residence in close proximity to
'die city cemetery. Tim class was call
ed the "graveyard class,” “Parker’s
class,” “publicans’ class,” etc.
Finally Mr. Parker professed sanctifi
cation, and announced that he had re
ceived a divine command to organize n
sect for the purpose of inducing the poor
and ignorant to live holy lives. The
class was reorganized. It was given a
charter by the state.
The bylaws and oonstitntion are pe
culiarly interesting. No preachers will
be received into the organization. The
services, which consist of prayers,
hymns, testimonies of sanctification and
short sermons by the -laymen and wo
men are held twice a week.
A handsome edifice, resembling
church, has -recently been erected here
for the purpose of the organization. An
nual conferences are held and delegates
from the numerous branch 'classes
throughout the country attend. At the
class meetings the services are conducted
S r some one who is moved by the Holy
host. Holiness is the password. At
the close of a service all the members
kneel aronnd the chancel, each making
a short prayer, while the others cry
amen, shout and cause great-confusion.
Then they form a line, a general hand
shaking commences, they embrace each
other and shout hallelujahs.
Before sitting down in a church a
member is required toTcneel in prayer.
The organization is accomplishing
much good among the poor in this sec
tion who do not attend church.

Hon. Alfred H. Colquitt,
Washington, D. C.:
Dear GovernorI see there is an
occasional reference in the newspapers
as to whether or not you will stand for
re-eleotion to the senate. I hope there
is no question on your mind on this
pcint. Will you allow me to suggest
that your recent illness may be respon
sible for any doubt of this kind if it ex
ists.
I was glad to meet you {recently
when I passed through Washington in
the oorridor of thecapitol, and to note
your .renewed health and aotive partic
ipation in the affairs of government.
Wc are not yet ready to give you up
Your usefulness and influence is far too
great to be lost at this time to Georgia
Your faithfulness to the interest of the
people and your broad experience
coupled with your eminent ability,
make it peculiarly appropriate that you
should be returned. I trust that yon
will allow your friends to proclaim
your willingness to serve them again.
Please reply, giving me authority to
use your letter publicly."
Very truly your friend,
E, R. Hodgson.
senator Colquitt’s reply.
United States Senate, )
Washington, D. C., Maroh 6,1894. J
Mr. E. R. Hodgson,
Athens, Ga.:
My Dear SirI haye received your
letter of the 1st inst. I thank-you for
your kind expressions and favorable
views.
I had not deemed it necessary to
make an avowal so far in sdvance of
the time for the senatorial election, but
I have no objection to saying to you,
and to all others who may have an in
terest in my candidacy, that I have not
withdrawn my name from considera
tion, and that I shall be grateful to my
friends, as I trust I always have been,
for their support.
It is to me a matter of congratula
tion that the views I entertain upon
public questions are so thoroughly in
accord with those of tte people of my
state, and that such-objections to me
as are raised are directed to a. physical
disability which I could not avoid.
I have supported the prii;oipl\s of
the democratic party as ‘ laid down\ in
party conventions. As. I understand
its aims and measures they are just and
philanthropic. The democratic party
opposes a high, protective tariff, the
growing Bystem of corporate wealth,
any interference with the banking sys
tems of the states, all legislation favor
ing special classes, and a consolidated
republic. It is for a revenue tariff, an
honest bi-metallism, un ler whiob gold
and silver shall be treated preoisely
alike aa primary money with open
mints to both, a strict construction of
the constitution, low taxes and econom- ’
ical administration of the government.
Holding these views to be correct, I
regad the democratic party as the
party of the country and of humanity.
I have sought ite advancement because
it hasheld these grand and noble views.
I have been with it in
shall be in the future, and no earthly j
'power can prevent me from advocating
its claim to support. I cannot contem
plate anything other than Us continued
supremacy without the liveliest appre
hension of permanent disaster to my
state and country.
With sentiments of esteem and re
gard, I am
Your friend and fellow-citizen,
A, H, Colquitt.

MCKINLEY AND DEMOCRATS.
They Disagree About tluf Election of a
Successor to Honk.
Dayton, O., March 8.—Governor Mc
Kinley has indicated his intention of or
dering a special election to be held in
this congressional district to elect a suc
cessor to the vacancy caused by the
death of Honorable George W. Honk
May 1, despite the protests of the Demo
cratic congressional committee. The
latter desired that the election be held
on the same day of the regular spring
election, thereby saving large expense.
The governor’s answer is that sufficient
time is not allowed to meet all the legal
requirements. This proposition, how-
j ever, is contended.
r, fin “i correspondence on the subject
Colonel Frank T. Huffman, chairman of
the Democratic committee, suggests to
tho governor that "there seems "to be no
good reason why the vacancy in this con
gressional district should not be perrnit-
ttf remain until next November,
when it can be filled at the regnlhr elec
tion. We therefore suggest this course
to you in the interest of the taxpayers
of the district, to whom you will save
$10,000.
March 23rd. is the date fixed by the
gubernational candidates t'> speak in
Athens. This will be the time when
the friends of the distinguished gentle-
men will whoop up their favorites.
