Albertwas m iking 50c. per day

nrative job to steal a two dollar and a

Ii is an outrage that because a man is

i-t a penalty as a year’s service to the

'Uim i- the case, and it is common for
„ r roes to be consigned to tiiis servi
tude on evidence that would not be con-

nvict a white man.
I should have stated that Judge Cobb,
teutioned in the edippiug, is a son of
loweli Cobb, a senator from Georgia iu
ite helium jays, hence it is not sur-
irising that he should place very low
line on the services of a negro. His

The Alliiucemen are stirring things

J compromise is arranged, as though

democratic party, forced by the Alliance

ire loath to surrender their leadership,

uv:• never before enjoyed.
Iu some sections, where the contest

more often the ease that the
di-time politicians are the pleading

THE NATIONAL GRANGE FIN
ISHES ITS LABORS.
Atlanta, Nov. 19.—[Special.]—The
formal announcement of the election of
General Gordon was made today.
The joint session convened, asrequir-
democratic victories at the North, Capt. I eil by law, at 12 o’clock.
Barrow had stated that the result was
largely due to the course of the Repub
lic in party relative to tlte currency and
taxation. Being reminded of this, he
sai I that he believed the passage of the
McKinley bill had brought home prac
tically io the people of the North
the trutli that a protective tariff
was a burden upon the great mass of
the people imposed for the benefit of a
few. It hal caused an immediate ad
vance iu prices along the eutire line of
dutiable articles. The people lelt it
ami realized it. because it was instanta
neous. Heretofore the advance has been
gradual, and the republican organs and
leaders were enabled to ascribe it to
other causes which they were very
adroit in conjuring up for that purpose.
In the case of the McKinley bill, how
ever, the advance in prices followed im
mediately, and it was impossible to de
ceive the people-any longer. They saw
plainly that they were the sufferers and
the cause was nnmistakable.
Being asked his opinion upon the
present stringency in the money mar
ket, Gapt. Barrow said that it was dif
ficult to point out all the causes. No
one tiling had brought it about. There
was several things which might have
produced such a result and probably all
of them had contributed.
It was believed by many that a large
amount of money bail been sent out of
the country io anticipation of the pas
sage of the M :Kiiiley bill to replenish
stocks at Cite existing prices. It is
thought by some that this had abstract
ed at least an appreciable amount from
the ordinary channels of trade.
The provision of the National
banking law which permits tiiose banks
to re-ire their own bills is another cause
which doubtless has contributed to the
scarcity ot money and contraction of
currency. As long as government
bonds are at a premium a National
Bank can make money by taking in its
own own bills. With a government
bond at 124 it is a greit temptation to a
bank to withdraw it from the treasurer
and sell it. It is entitled to do this
whenever it avails itself of the privi
lege of redeeming and retiring its own
bills.
The persistent refusal of the republi
cans to deal fairly and honestly with
the people as to the coinage of -ilver is
another thing which has done its pait
in keeping the volume of currency
down to a lower ebb.
Then there is now going on in this
country from one end of it to tiie other,
exeept in the E istern and Middle
States, a business which has absorbed
aud is absorbing an enormous amount
of money. It is the development of
towns and cities by land improvement
companies, electric car lines and the
building out and out of new unyns.
They form corporations and buy
town sites, lay off’ streets, survey
lots, make jparks, lakes and boulevards,
and then have an auction. Some of
these towns are located in the woods
and are to be built from nothing. In
other cases the companies confine them
selves to the extension and improve
ment of old towns and cities. But
enormous sums of money within the
past few years have gone in this direc
tion. It is a new channel. All the
mwney used in this way is diverted
from tlie ordinary uses. Almost all of
these enterprises are being carried
on with borrowed money. It is money
which the banks have heretofore usual
ly put out for tlie movement of the
crops. They have loaned it to these
development companies, and hence can
not accommodate Chose who want it to
handle produce. Iu the west these com
panies carry on their operations on a
much larger scale than they are doing
here. In tlie aggregate an enormous
amount of money has been absorbed in
this way. I think these development
companies do geod. and I do not com
plain of their existence. It is a pity
we eannot have more of them here.
They ought to be encouraged, for they
build up ai d improve the country. I
am simply trying to account for tHe
want of money in tlie usual and custom
ary channels of trade.
Capt. Barrow was asked if he thought
the National Banking system, which he
had already alluded to as one of its feat
ures, was good or bad., .
He replied that he considered it all in
all the safest and most satisfactory plan
of banking be had ever examined. It
was uniform, safe and simple. No ad
vantage was given by the law to the
banks and it was idle talk to say that
they iiad any special privileges. They
had rights but they paid for them a full
and fair consideration. He t hought it
would seriously interfere with the bus
iness of the country aiqfcdisturb values
generally to undertake to make any rad
ical changes in the relations of the Xa>
tional Banks to the government or the
people. The only change be thought it
wise to make was to take away the
power to withdraw their notes from cir
culation
The scenes were very different from
those of yesterday, for today’s duty was
merely perfunctory and had no attrac
tion for tlie outside public,
When the joint session was called to
order, tlie journal of the senate showing
yesterday’s vote was read, then the
journal of the house, and President
Mitchell made the announcement of
General Gordon’s election for the full
term of six years beginning March 4,
1891.
'l^ien there was some hearty applause,
and the j lint session was dissolved.
Clerk Hanseli’s figures give General
Gordon two more votes than the count
yesterday showed, making his total 122.
These two come from Norwood’s col
umn.
The total vote in both houses is:
Gordon, senate 25, house 97—122.
Norwood, senate 7, house 30—43.
Calhoun, senate 0, house 19—25.
Hines, senate 3, house 10—13.
Hammond, senate 2, house 7—9.
Hawkins, senate 1, house 1.
In both houses, today was devoted
principally to the reading of local bills.
There were none of these of special in
terest, though several deserve mention.
IN THE SENATE,
A bill was introduced providing that no
excursion trains snail be run on Sun
day .
Another senate bill which may prove
important, is the bill establishing coun
ty boards of equaliz itiou, the duties of
these boards being,as the title indicates,
supplementary to the work of the tax
assessors.
IN THE HOUSE.
Mr. Gilberc introduced a bill provid
ing for special terms of Superior Courts
to dispose of civil eases. The law now
contemplates and provides for such
spacial terujs for the disposition of crim
inal businees. .
Mr. Wuite, of Hart, introduced two
bills—one making three years’ residence
jii the state necessary before a divorce
can be granted, the other making a wife
competent to testify against her* hus
band in offences against her property.
Mr. Baifeullet comes to the
rescue of the teachers with a school
bill providing for quarterly payment
of teachers and citing provisions for the
proper enforcement of tlie law provid
ing that the common school fund shall
not be appropriated to other purposes.

How Are the Folks?
The legislature will now settle down
to business and the indications are that
the members will make every possible
efl'orc to earry out their pledges of a
short session.
The first step in that direction was
taken today in the appointment of a
joint committee to examine the busi
ness of the legislature with a view to
determining son i day for adjournment.
Usually no such effort is male until
later in the session; but the farmers
especially are here for busiues. and pn -
pose to see it rushed along.
The only jaunt of any kind now in
sight is the trip to Milledgeville on the
27— the occasion being the laying of
the corner stone of the Girls’ Normal
and Industrial College.
.Tonight interesting addresses were
made iu the house by Mrs. Mary J. La-
throp, of Michigan, Mrs. Clara C.
Hoffman, of Missouri, prominent lead
ers of the W. C. T. U. There was a
large attendance of members, aud great
interest was felt in the very able ad
dresses of the wonderful women. The
sessions of the W. C. T. U. have been,
for the most part devoted to routine
business. The expected clash with
Mrs. J. Ellen Forster, of Iowa, didn’t
come, and all has been smooth sailing.
The ladies here, 510 in all, are undoubt

country, and the body as a whole is a
remarkable one.

Tbo following letters of inquiry are

myself with the correspondents byre-
plying through the customary channel
in order that the general public may

mind and the patient research of

writes as follows: “Will you tell me

. That depends of course on what Ali
most commonly eats. Patti de foi gras
requires three horn's and forty-five min- {
utes. Roast canvasback duck, stuffed !
with olives and followed by a short, 1
crisp speech on the tariff, requires over ;
four hours for digestion. Roast beef re- *
quires three hours: soft boiled eggs ■
three hours. Also hard boiled or fried

as Mr. McAllister so naively puts it in
his great work on society as he found

Fromage de brie requires three hours

weekly paper here called The Waushara
Tidings. I spoke of the theatre pleas- j
antly, but for six weeks could not get i
away to Chicago to see the play, as my
boots was not yet completed.
Night before last I went in and took
twelve people, as I regarded myself as
entitled to two tickets per week for the
six weeks. Judge of my surprise when
1 was met gruffly at the box office by a
man who sneeringlv gave me two tickets
only and told me to move on. My
friends thus had to pay $18 for tickets,
besides car faro, as I had came away
ill prepared to meet such an exigency,
feeling certain that I would be treated
right when I got there. Now. should I
attack him personally, or give him a
cutting editorial in The Tidings? Tell
me as soon as you can, as I ought to at
tend to it right away, before the matter
blows over.”
You should write him a scathing let
ter, print a highly abusive editorial at
the same time, and then attack him with
brass knucks on the following evening.
It has been held by the supreme courts of
Massachusetts and Nebraska that a
weekly or a daily notice of a theatre or
railroad is cumulative, and entitles
the noticer to the aggregated increment
of cumulative notices. For example, if
a paragraph soothing to a railroad be
good for a pass, a repetition of the sooth
ing paragraph would entitle the noticer
to still another pass and so on. There
fore if you had chosen to remain at home
all the year, -‘and mention the theatre
.regularly and in a friendly way daily,
you would be entitled at the end of the
year to what might be called a Wau
shara day at the theatre, with souvenirs.
You could also have the hquse perfumed
with crab apple blossom, and soft voiced
ushers would come and bathe your heat
ed temples.
Now, knowing the law and your rights
in the case, nothing remains for you to
do bnt to attack the manager and make
him wish that he had reconsidered the
matter before he had so rashly consented
to be born.
P. D. Q., Amherst, Mass., writes to
know (1) what is the fastest railroad time
made in America. 2. Also whether it is
proper for a wife in the absence of her
husband to kill a hen for dinner, and
whether it does not coarsen one to do so.
1. The fastest time made for one mile
so far as 1 know was 50£ seconds: Edward
Osmond, engineer. Tha fastest ten miles
was made on the Lake Shore and Michi
gan Southern by a locomotive conveying
a fire engine to Sing Sing: time, 8 min
utes. It was done in February, 1874.
The fastest time for 111 miles was made
in 1881: time. 98 minutes. It was on
the Canada Southern, and was the occa
sion of the conveying of Mr. W. H. Van
derbilt, whose flippant remarks and low
estimate regarding the public were the
cause of the deepest shame and sorrow
on the part of the public.
3. A woman may or may not kill a
hen, as she may deem proper, Mr. McAl
lister says, but she should not mutilate
it through tenderness of heart I once
knew of a beautiful society lady who
lost her husband by death. He canght
cold while sitting up at night in a neg
lige shirt waiting for his wife to come
home from one of the Patriarch balls in
New York. He died quite suddenly,
leaving his beautiful wife almost wholly
unprovided for. The life insurance com
pany burst with a loud report as he
good standing in the church? 4. Yon
must m x up a good deal with the best
society in New York: is there as much
drinking there as we read about? 5. Is
there any way of removing a birthmark
or superfluous hair? 0. Who wrote‘Beau
tiful Snow?" 7. Where can I get Ella
Wheeler Wilcox’s Poems of Passion?
8. What is good for sleeplessness? 9.
What would be a good verse for an
autograph album?”
1. The proper time to put on a dress
suit is dinner time, according to the best
usages, though if wo have a picked up
dinner, and in the middle of the day, 1
often omit the full dress and come down
in the same suit which I have worn in
the forenoon while breaking steers or
doing other light household work. Din
ner dress contemplates, however, that
the dinner shall not be earlier than 6
o'clock. People who eat dinner promptly
when the noon whistle blows rarely
wear full evening dress at dinner, for
they would have to again shuck them
selves before they could resume their
plowing. Nothing is in worse taste than
the custom of plowing or husking corn
in full dress. If you have just pur
chased a new dress suit, you will proba
bly wear it a little earlier in the day
than you will after you have had it some
time. Do not be too eager, however, to
wear it, for it is very poor taste indeed
to wear full dress at dejunay or at mass.
Your wifo should also wear full dress
when you do unless she should prefer to
remain out of sight. The wife’s full
dress nyiy consist of lace overdress with
waist and skirt, or skirt anyhow. Some
wear a corsage in place of the waist, and
filled in with illusion, thongh it is more
common to scorn all efforts at illusion
and be perfectly frank, open and above
board. At first yonr wife will hesitate
about appearing in full dress, but by re
sorting to stimulants she will overcome
this natural reserve and converse with
great freedom.
2. A full dress suit will cost yon the
price of a good cow at least, say from
$75 to $100, though the former price \*ill
give you as good satisfaction if done by
a good honest tailor as the latter. In
England you can get one of equally good
quality for £6, and there will be enough
extra cloth in the suit to make your little
boy a nice overcoat.

see her in her heavy, long crepe veil,
which was soon covered with burdock
burrs, chasing a demented hen athwart
the back lot No one could with dry
eyes view the once proud and haughty
society leader chasing this frightened
fowl with a cistern pole through the
tansy bed, while the mischievous breeze
caught up her drapery, and flinging it
far and wide gave fleeting visions of
hand embroidering and lisle thread

remedy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which,

of Hood's Sarsaparilla as a remedy for
catarrh when other preparations hod failed.
CaIarrH
“ I will say I have been troubled for sev

disease, catarrh. I took Hood’s Sarsapa
rilla with the very best results. It cured me
of that continual dropping in my throat, and
stuffed up feeling. It has also helped my
mother, who has taken it for run down state
of health aud kidney trouble.” Mbs. S. D.
Heath, Putnam. Conn.
“ I have used nood’s Sarsaparilla for ca
tarrh with very satisfactory results. I have
received more permanent beneflt from it than
from any other remedy I have ever tried.”
