ChrMicle, BK. I8TT. J Athena Bniacr, Eat. 1S32. ATHENS, GA., TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 21, 1891. VOL. 59 NO. DEMOCRACY and tariff reform. Grovur Cleveland never uttered a wiser thought among his many wise and cautious utterances about the safety of this Republic than when be proclaimed that tarift reform was the hope of the Democracy in 1892 If the Democratic party meet in the convention of’92 and do nothing mare than frame a platform based upon this party principle, and select a mm whose recordon this impor* tant score is strong and well known the country over, the party would seat the next president. Ot course this will not be done, nor would The Banner urge such a cause. There are other issues that must be embod ied in the platform, demandings better system in the money world. But, so far as a platform is necessary to the party’s success, we-believe that tariff reform alone would carry the Democracy safely, over the cam'* paign. It certainly wiil be the ground upon which the Democrats must fight. It will be the party’s suicide to nnk’! tariff reform ary thing else than tne haling issue in 1892 Why? Simply because it was the plank in the last campaign platform that led the Democratic party on to victory, so fur us the popular vole was con cerned, thus showing that it is what the country wants. Again, the dis gusting effect of the McKinley bill has been clearly set forth by the ti dal wave of Democracy in 1890 in the state elections based upon tariff reform. These pointers alone may be taken as an indication of bow the people stand against protection. Tne way, then, is clear for the Democratic yariy. ’ wnl Tariff reform is the the card to “draw to.” pies, and that it has done more than any of its predecessors in the way of correcting longstanding abuses. Tbe effect of just such acknowl edgements as this from Northern newspapers has been to bring about mighty change in public sentiment and as the Boston Herald goes on to remark: “Although the leaders of the Farmers’ Alliance in the South have, in a number of instances, quarrelled among themselves, show ing in their contentions tbe existence of personal ambitions, the, move* ment itself, whatever may have been its losses, has certainly gained favor in quarters where it-had little to hope for six months or a year ago’* Yes, the Alliance is moving on to glorious ends. Founded on right- eons principles, and aiming at nangLt but the country’s good, who would hesitate to bid the farmers a hearty uod-speed in their efforts to over throw monopoly from the agricultur al interests ot the land. THt farmers* alliance. It is inleieiling to observe the growth and continued success of the Farmers’ Alliance. Despite the fact that the older is opposed by many news-pipers of the South, and is fought by many political leaders in the large cities of the land it is growing greater every day. Tbe farmers are united. They find the full truth of the old adage “In union there is strength” and they are util izing such strength to the advantage of tbe individual farmer, to the ads vancement of the agricultural inter ests of the South, to tbe salvation of the onntry’s commerce. The Alliance has been no disap pointment. It has been no failure. It has accomplished up to this time all that it had ever hoped to accom plish, and a very great deal besides. • It was a mistake that many news papers fell into at the out-set to en tertain the opinion that the uprising of the farmers in the South and West ment a disastrous warfare be tween the agricultural and mercan tile interests of these two sections. It was also a very great mistake to assume that when tbe Alliance enter ed politics the country’s executive affairs were in danger of ignorant legislation. This opinion was very largely entertained in the North lb the begining bat since tbe recent sweeping triumphs of Democracy tbe country over, tbe newspapers of New England freely acknowledge that the Alliance to-day is the back bone of the. .Democratic party, tbe hope of the Republic. Speaking of our own Alliance here in Georgia tbe Boston Herald says: The Legislatures of South Carolina and Georgia have been largely con- A NORMAL DEPARTMENT/ As Outlined tlined by the Uni' the Faculty of 1 : *1 f*fi iversity. kn—Jl JK. -E.

The Boston Herald says : While it is possible that an agreement may have been entered into between the representatives ot the sugar-trust and sugar refiners outside of that association not to compete too stren uously with each other, and to main tain the price of American refined sugar at the highest possible point, the effect of the present tariff law will make it difficult, if not impossi ble, to exact a profit on refined sugar of more than one-half of one cent per poond- The law which went in to 4 fleet on the ht of April removed tbe doty oo all sugars up to and in cluding Nil 16, Dutch standard, in color, and it is qnite probable tkal large quantities of this dark colored sagar will be bronght into our mar ket and used in manufactures where color has no special bearing upon re sults - It is also possible that this sugar will be brought-in-not only duty free, but under conditions which will allow it to be sold at less than tbe cost of production, in conses quence of the payment of export bounties by certain European gov ernments. Sec. 237 of the customs laws provides that a countervailing duty shall be placed upon all sugars above No. 16, Dutch standard, in color, which come from those conn,, tries that pay an export bounty; but this does not apply tc tbe darker colored sugars, which may, under such circumstances, find a stimu lated sale in our American markets. Considering this form of competi tion, and considering, furthermore, that the sugar tiuit formerly had an opportunity of making a profit of one cent per pound upon refined su gar, it is not easy to understand the grounds upon which certain individ uals rest the belief ia the future tre mendous profitability of the sugar refining business.

Ordinary Herrington Decides That Thompson’s Wife Was Not De tained, trolled by the Farmers’ Alliance, and yet it ia said to be tbe opinion of business men of those states who are entirely out of politics, and having no association whotsuever with the farmers or the Alliance, that the work of the Legislatures in these slates has been in the' highest de gree commendable. A number of prominent business men in Georgia have affirmed that the Farmers’ Al liance Legislature that has recently been in session at Atlanta has been the best Legislature that the state has had at any time since the war; that its members have been actuated by,honeat as well as earnest princi- in He didn’t get her.

Some time ago the Banner exposed the deticiencees in the passenger service of the Georgia railroad. It was shown that this road has for,the past year been giving Athens the dingiest and most unattractive passenger cars of any road running into Athens, and it was farther shown that the passenger traffic was decreasing rapidly, due to these short comings, or impositions of the Georgia road, T ue exposition of the Door servic has bad some good effect.

WHO THEY ABE. The Hawkins Zouaves association is made up of survivors of the old Ninth New York Regiment, and is named in honor of their old colonel, now Gen. Hawkins. It was this regiment that most fre quently encountered the Third Geor gia Regiment in the troublous days that are now past forever, and the men who used to swap tobacco and canteens a' ross the picket lines have since then crossed over Mason and Dixon’s lyie as friends and enjoyed each other’s hos pitality. The visit of a delegation from the Zouaves in 1888 was greatly appreciated by the Third Georgia Regiment surviv ors, and thoroughly enjoyed by the New York veterans. The Hawkins Zouaves will celebrate the thirtieth anniversary of their organ ization next week in New York, and held the first grand reunion of the sur vivors of their whole regiment, it is to this gala occasion they have invited the survivors ol the Third Georgia regi ment. C01. gnead and his men are looking forward to the occasion with great leasure, and justly so, for the New Torkers will spare no pains to make them have a royal time. The reunion will be held in the handsome.armory of the Hawkins Zou aves, and a grand banquet will be given on next Monday night. About twenty of the Third Georgia Regiment will compose the delegation. THE ATHENS PRESBYTERY. selves at home; put your feet ina spit experiences the A Pleasant Meeting and a Prosperous Presbytery.

At the beginning of the war two dis tinct military organizations were cre ated in the South, respectfully known as the Regular aud the provisional or volunteer army. The former belonged to the general State governments, while the latter was the offspring of the peo ple. One was intended to be perma nent ; the existence uf tbe other depend ed upon the duration of the war. In a measure the regular army was merged into the orovisional organiza tion, and its officers, who were general ly graduates of West Point aud other military schools, were transferred to the volunteers and promoted to high grades. The men were not unlike those of the regular service >n all civilized na tions, and were restraineu by rigid dis cipline. On the other hand, the volun teers were a free and easy set, who fra ternized with their officers, and, until the severe lessons of the war were taught, maintained an equal footing with them. I recall an altercation that took place one day between a captain and one of the privates iu his company, who was in every way, socially and intellectu ally, his superior. In the course of the conversation the subordinate made some irritating remark, when the offi cer exclaimed: “If you repeat that again I’ll lay down my rank and fight you.” “Laydown your rank!” was the contemptuous response. “That won’t make you a gentleman. A cow ard ought to fight with straps on his shoulders, but it'takes a gentleman to fight for $11 a month.” The organization of many of the com panies at the beginning of the war was remarkable. The first mounted com mand that I saw iu the field was the Black Horse cavalry, Captain Radford, which was stationed at Manassas Junc tion, then in May, 1861, only a post of observation. It consisted of seventy-five or eighty of tbe young planters of Fau quier and the' neighboring counties, each of whom owned his own blooded animal, and was attended bv a negro servant, who also had the care of a led horse. To all appearances, they consti tuted a jolly picnic party. ’ A few days later 1 rode into a camp at Harper’s Ferry, where the captain was an old one armed officer of the Mexican war; tbe first lieutenant an ex-member of congress; the sergeant, a judge; the corporal, a former United States consul to Cuba, and the men iu rank composed, of lawyers, doctors, solid business men and planters, repre senting altogether a wealth of several millions of dollars. Among them was the striking figure of a man 70 odd years of age. For fifty years he had beeu a minister of the gospel, and as he Btood there, leaning against a tree with a Sharp’s rifle in his hand aud a blanket rolled around his shonlders, awaiting the orders to inarcti to 1 some neighboring point, he looked, with his stern face and white hair, like the incarnation of “grim visaged war.” In the same company were Bis three sons, his son in-law, an eminent mem ber of the Alabama bar, and his only grandson, old enough to carry a'gun. The uniform prescribed by tbe Con- federate congress was of gray, but ow ing to the paucity of the cloth not one in ten of the early regiments was clad according to the regulations. Many companies wore portions of the zouave uniform, others appeared in snuff colored attire, and a few of the regi ments from Louisiana adopted a dress blue. The Washington Artillery, of New Orleans, a battalion of gentlemen representing the best blood of the btate, was probably at this time the most substantially and regularly uniformed command of its size in fhe service. Tbe majority of those from the inte rior appeared in the ranks just as they left their homes, and human eyes never rested on a more motley throng. There was no mark to designate the respective regiments, and only an acquaintance with the physiognomical or other pei- sonal peculiarities of the men as a body enabled one to discover whence they came. The dress was a tangled com >ound of frock coats, swallowtails and . ackets.and frequently on drill a liberal sprinkling of shirt sleeves. The trou sers were of every hue and shape, from the gay cassimere to the patched em blems of bettei times, the nether ex tremities being lost in tbe tops of boots or gathered within the stockings, while a headgear of slouched hats, caps and an occasional “stovepipe” presented an outline on parade that was indescriba bly ragged. The vault was completed by a dingy outfit or patched bed quit, a homemade knapsack and a canvass bag in which to carry rations. A belt around the body held the inevitable bowie knife and re volver, while thrown carelessly over the shoulder was a riflle, musket dauble barrelled shotgun. Sometimes there was added to .this miscellaneous col lection a violin, guitar or accordion, and now and'then the old hunters and campaigners of the wood were practical enough to bring even their private cooking utinsils, which, while on the march dangled in pictureske confusion from bbind. Many of the camps, 'however, were supplied with every luxury that could tempt the palate. The plantations yielded their richest stores of provisions time honored wine cellars contributed the choicest liquors, and thought ful mothers, wives, and sisters sent to their kinsfolk loads of delicacies prepared. with their own hands. Your genuine southerner had a weakness for good liquors and cigars, and from reveille until “taps” the game of juleps and punches was run in the hospitable quarters. Iu attempting to evade a “sentinel sur reptitiously, to man was safe without his fluid countersign. “Halt! Who goes there ?” “A friend with a bottle, was tbe usual response. “Advance, bottle, and uncork?” Whereupon the Rubicon would be crossed. Every tent was an “open house” to the inmates of any other, aud the spirit of conviviality everywhere prevailed. On tbe mess table was the never fail ing bottled hosgiutiity in the shape of “plantation bittejtvf or Bourbon cock tails; under the table a demi john of old. rye or XXX cog nac; within arm’s length a mess chest, rich with mollifying stores of English cheese, Lmons, crackers and condiments, while a miniature vault helow the floor of the tent had only to bi tapped to disclose a mine of madoira, .sUeny and carupagne. The general in vitation was, “Come, boys, make yonr- mantle piece, ana spit on Such were the early expe... thousands of Southern soldiers*' hardships were insignificant, the cipline was not severe, and the nization between the officers and 1 made their life one long holiday, w the closing of the blockade, howev the departure of tbe troops from respective States, and the drivf the tent pins in the soil of Vi: luxuries took their place among things to be remembered, and the a„ began to experience some of the vie situdes of real war.
