THE THIRD PARTY.
What la
Said of It In the (Sty ol
Washington.
Washington, Dec. 8.—The proposi
tion of rho Alliance to organize a third
party is giving the members of both par
ties in congress some uneasiness- It is
not generally believed among politicians
that the Alliance would have any great
strength as a third party, but it would
draw votes from both of the old parties
and greatly change the political situa
tion. There is no telling which party
would suffer most, and neither is willing
to take the risk of the other getting the
worst of it.
Republicans,' holding that the Alliance
is an attachment of the Democracy, say
that the Democrats would lose most
votes by a third party, though they con
fess to a fear of losses themselves in the
west.
The Democratic assumption is that the
Republican Alliancemen would vote for
an Alliance national ticket, while most
of the Democrats in the Alliance would
vote with tlieir old party.
The general opinion seems-to be that,
while the third party movement apvould
hurt 'both the old parties and bring a
great uncertaintainty into all calcula
tions. it would destroy the Alliance in
fluence within the old parties and def -at
Alliaace legislation.
THEW.&A.*
^ RAILROAD.
A RUMOR THAT THE NEW LEASE
WILL FALL THROUGH.
President Thomas, of the Louisville &
Nashville, Talks—The Question As
suming Gigantic Propositions—A
Hard Fight to be Made.
Special by News Telegram Association.
ATLANTA, Ga., Dec. 9.—The Western
& Atlanta looms up in a fashion that
might be called gigantic this morning,
and everybody Is talking about the road
and the'eontroveray between the lessees
and the State.
This sudden prominence is.the result
of a sensational interview 'with Presi
dent Thomas,'of the Nashville, Chatta
nooga & St. Louis which appears uuder
a Nashville date line in today’s ConstP
tution. In that President Thomas says
of the rumor that the lesse may fall
through.
“I hope the rumor is unfounded. It
is true we pfcid a big price for the
road; more perhaps than -it can earn
for years to come, but we have entered
into a contract with the state to take
the road on the 27th, and we desire to
carry out our contract in good faith.”
“Do you think there will be any
trouble lq the delivery of the road to
you by the old lessees?”
“The delivery will not be made by
the old lessees to us. The old lease con
tract calls for a delivery to the state,
and the new contract calls for a deliv
ery by the state up us. Whether the old
lessees will deliver to the state 1 am
not prepared to say. Governor Brown,*
as president of the old lease company,
can answer as to tlac I ( have no doubt
be will d.> what is required of him by
the contract.”
“Suppose he should obstruct the de
livery, what then?”
u We are not in a position to compel
him to make the delivery. We have no
contractor understanding with the old
lease companyin this regard. Our con
tract is with the State. If the State
should fail to make the delivery, at the
time and m the condition provided for
in the contract, I assume we shall have
the 'right to refuse to take the road if
We choose to do so; our attorneys, how
ever, will advise us as to this and all
kindred questions in connection with
fha loncA ” -
Of course if the State cannot deliver the
goods, the contract does not exist.
Then as to the bond of theold company,
prominent lawyers Cell me than the At
torney General has decided that to be
of no value, it is for $1,000,000, but’is
signed by representatives of other rail
road corporations which have not the
right, under tlieir charters,, of going
outside the rights granted by those
charters, and making this bond was
clearly outside those rights. Sen tor
Brown signs it, but lie signs it as presi
dent of the WestemJc .itlautic Railroad
Company, aud not as an individual.

The Savannah (Ga.) small boys must

authorities were after them for deposit

for lighting bonfires in the streets.
A little 9-year-old negro boy, living on

watered for cultivation. They go from
neighboring counties of Texas, as well as
from other states.
Elias Clark, a negro workman in Bell’s
planing mill in Americus, Ga., met with
a frightful accident the other day. While
cleaning away shavings from under A
moving rip-saw, he went too near the
machine, and in a moment his head was
split almost in half.
Politicians of both parties at Washing
ton are disposed to regard the Alliance
proceedings at Ocala with concern. The
belief is strengthening that the Alliance
leaders mean to organize a new political
movement and put a presidential ticket
in the field for ’92.
At Norristown, Pa., last week, Mrs.
Atbony Kelly, the wife of a large real
estate owner, was senteced to ten days’
imprisonment on a charge of stealing a
beefsteak. To us of the south this seems
like pretty severe justices. Why would
not a fine have sufficed?

the lease
“ Do you mean that you will refuse to
take the road ?” ,
“ 1 did not say that; in fact, I prefer
not to talk on this subject now. ‘ Suf
ficient unto tbe day is the evil thereof.’
If, however, the delivery of the road
and its appurtenances should Be obr
structed by litigation or otherwise, how
can we take it?”
“But it is said that you and the old
lessees have already reached an under
standing ha to what each shall do.”
“This js a mistake. We have arrived
at no understanding as ydt. My com
pany, it is true, is a stockholder in the
old lease, but there other stockholders
presented by Governor Brown, whose
rights he may feel called upon to pro
tect, with which we have no right to
interfere. You had better talk to Gov
ernor Browu about this.”
hat dpes it all mean ? Everybody is
asking. Is it possible that the lease
will fall through! If so—what then!
Governor Northen has nothing to say
on the subject; Senator Brown, too, is
silent; and as tor Major Stablman, who
is here—he Is noticeable principally for
the Sphynx-like silenee he maintains
when the lessees—new or old—are men-
tioned. But Stahlman is here and
his presence means something. It is
now given up as a pretty well eatab-
Jished fact that Stahlmau’s resignation
from the L. & N. is only temporary,
and that it is done to relieve the new
lessees and his company from any com
plications that may have arisen over his
connection with the.old companies.
While there is nothing very definite,
this interview with Thomas opens up
the whole question, and gossip is plen
tiful. It is known that the lessees have
given the governor notice that the Ten
nessee taxes are due, and that they, the
lessees, do not intend to pay them.
That puts the state to the necessity of
either paying the tax or letting the city
of Chattanooga or tbe state of Tennes
see collect it from tbo property.
The Zaciiry resolution opens up an
other big argument. That resolution
is to-be fought, though the governor
and other state officers who have stud
ied the question and, in fact, almost
everybody else argue that it is tbe fair
est possible solution of thequestion
Under that, it vail be remembered the
lessees bind themselves to abide by the
decision of the commission; the govern-
or and the Senate decide upon the
commission, and the governor
appointing and the senate confirming;
and tbe State’s interests are carefully
guarded In every particular. The ma
jority of the Senate Finance Committee
have made their report favoring the
resolution, but a strong minority will
fight the commission idea and there is a
strong probability of its defeat
Upon what grounds this will be based
has not yet appeared. Governor No- th
en regards the question as purely
business proposition and is anxious to
see it taken hold of in that way. He
has, I understand, given Senator Brown
and the new Iess8e3 assurances, Jhat in
his opinion, matters will be amicacly
adjusted and he is anxious that there be
no friction.
The situated indicated by Colonel
Thomss seems to be just this : The new
lessees desire to put the State on notice
that they must have delivered to them
all that their lease calls for. That
done, and they are ready to do their
part. *Now, will the old lessees turn
over to the State sll that the new lease
calls for—or, in other words, can the
State fulfill its part of the contest.
The question of a bond enters there.
The new lessees have given
a bond in the sum of $500,000, for the
faithful performance of their ooutracL

Washington, Dec. 8.—Representative
John A. Pickier of South Dakota, is
back from Ocala, and soon was sur
rounded by newspaper correspondents.
He was greatly impressed with all he
saw in Florida, and with all he heard at
the Alliance convention.
He thinks tbe organization of a new
industrial party not improbable. As a
Republican, he is opposed to this, but he
is anxious to have his party take the ini
tiative to move up and to camp on the,
advanced ground assumed bv the work
ing people. Unless one of the old parties
does this, a new party organization is
inevitable.
Almost every- one who has been to
Florida and returned, has something to
say about the new party.

Mr. Turner, of Georgia, a member of
the committee, looked with some suspi
cion on tlfis bill to amend, and not until
he was satisfied that there was nothing
in it to validate the original bill, did he
vote for it.
He said that he did not object to hav
ing this amendatory measure considered
in the house. It required a unanimous
vote to take it up, and his objection
would send it to the foot of the calendar.
The courts would soon pass upon the

_ Judge Stewart has prepared a resolu
tion instructing the nouse committee on
banking and currency to formulate and

the preamble, he speaks of free coin

would heal the distress of the people.
Congressman Perry ..in speaking about

Atlanta, Dec, 8.—[Sp< cial ( -An im
portant resolution was that passed by
the senate today bearing upon the school
book question. It is aimed at the so-
called school took trust or “ combine ”
and the principal -provisions are that
the State school commissioner shall look
into tBe matter of^ sclioobbooks and, if
found feasible, prepare a plan for the
publication of all text books by the
Slate. ~
The resolution, which is by Senator
Culver, recites that” whereas, through
the instrumentality of a pool or combi
nation formed between the publishers
of school books, thereby creating a mo
nopoly and advancing prices several
hundred per cent, tnereby making the
prices burdensome to all and in many
instances placed it beyond the ability of
the poor to supply their children books
necessary to their advancement; and
whereas, the Constitution of the State
authorizes the enactment of
such laws aK may be necessary
to . prevent and defeat till
companies and trusts which may tend
to reduce and defeat competition; and
whereas, it is the policy of-one or more
of the states to publish or furnish books
tor the use of their schools at a price
which only covers cost of material and
expense of publishing.
Therefore, bo it resolved by the sen
ate. the house conucrring, that it shal.
be the duty of the State School Com
•nissioner of Georgia, if possible, to
inaugurate a system or plan by which
schoolvbooks can be supplied to the
children at a greatly reduced rate; That
it shall also be the duty of said Com
missioner to inquire into tbe feasibility
of publishing all school books by the
state, by contract with the authors and
publishers and otherwise and report to
the adjourned session of the general as
sembly his information and such re
commendations as will assist in solving
the question and furnishing tne desired
relief.
Senator Nunn&lly supported the res
olution and it was adopted.
This is the first real fight on the re
cently formed school book combination,
and there is a possibility of its being a
right lively fight before the end is
reached.
John R. Slater, of Valdosta, was to
day elected solicitor general on tbe
Southern circuit to fill the place made
vacant by Dan Rountree’s resignation.
He had no opposition.
A concurrent resolution providing
for the extension of the life of general
assembly beyond the forty days limit
was introduced in tbe house today by
Mr. Calvin. The resolution went to
the committee bn adjournment.
Next Saturday will be the last day of
he first 40 days of the legislature’s life.
“My resolution,” said Mr. Calvin
this morning, “does not necessarily
mean a summer session. All 1 want to
provide for is enough time fo r the con
sideration and passage of the tax and
appropriation acts. I want to provide
against the possible contingency that
these bills will not be put through this
week. Those bills.must be passed if
we do nothiDg else.
Col. Chariton H. Way, Georgia Com
missioner of tbe World’s Fair, is here
to see what can bo done toward an ex
- hibit from Georgia. The outlook now
is that every state except Georgia will
have one. The legislature can appro
priate r.o money for that purpose and
some means must be devised to got an
exhibit. Today Major Ryals introduced
a resolution looking to the appointment
of a committee of two from the Senate
and three from the House to confer with
tbe Governor on the subject.

There is a corset that
never breaks in wear; it can
not be broken in wear.
No; that’s going a little
too far. There have to be
steels in it. Steels will break.'
We don’t mean the steels;
but th-jy are not the part
that trouble^ corset-breakers.
What we mean is the
‘bones” don’t break. The
reason is they are Kabo, not
bones at all; and Kabo
don’t break.
This corset that never
breaks is the Kabo, mysteri
ous Kabo, wonderful Kabo.
Let every corset-breaker
make the acquaintance of
Kabo.
If the corset doesn’t suit
you, after wearing a week or
two or three bring it back to
us and get your money; and,
if the Kabo breaks or kinks
in a year, come back for your
money.
We have a primer on Cor-
ets for you at the store

A Very Agonizing Nuisance That
Has Been Entirely Too Common.
The country people doing their trad
ing in oar city for some time have been
complaining of a nuisance that has be
come alarming, and which they seem
utterly unable to prevent.
It is said ttiat within the past months
almest every wagon or buggy that is
left standing on the streets has been
robbed of everything that it contained,
—chickens being particularly in dan
ger.
The publicity of the crime makes its
detection less probable, anil their bold
ness makes their- success remarkable.
On a crowded street they will rob a
wagon of whatever it contains, often
making several trips, and persons never
suspect that they are others than the
owners.
The police have succeeded in several
cases in detecting the criminals when
the case was reported to them and they
are said to be on the track of several
negroes that are old 'stagers in this
thievery.
