FOR CLEVELAND. WArm MAOVRAQH, OAnFIKL,D's ATTOTl- KKY-aENEHVt. WILL VOTE FOR T1IH ( DEMOCRATIC TICKET—HR BAYK TII* * TUCK WKI.FARR OF TIIK COUNTRY S. WOULD UK PROMOTED DY CM5VR- ' land's KLKCTION. Following cioso upon tho snnounoo- tnoot that Judge Gresham, four yours ago a promineut candidate for tho Presiden tial nomination in tho Republican Na tional Oonrontion, had determined to roto for Cleveland and Stevenson, an other bombshell has been thrown into Ilia Republican tamp. The following letter from Wayne MaeVeagh, Attorney-Gen eral uuder tiartiold, announcing tliut he will voto for Grovor Cleveland, has been given out for publication: PillLAURM'IttA, Oot, 4, 1892. John W. Carter, Eiq., Secretary of tho Massachusetts lleform Club: Your cordial invitation to address tho citizons of Boston on the issues of tho canvass happens to roach mu just wiien professional engagements prevent my naming a tlmo when I can do so, but you nro quite right in concluding that I in tend to voto for Mr. Cleveland. Entertaining tho convictions I do, no other course is open to me, and 1 cheerfully aceord to tho supporters of President Harrison tho same sense of public duly by which I claim to bo act uated. As both parties have presented uuexccptionnhlo candidates, there is no reason why tho differences which exist upon questions of public policy should be discussed otherwise limit in good humor, and with ontiro respect for each other's opinions. In tho present campaign wlmt tnny fairly be culled the falsa alarms of the canvasa will prove of little value, booauso of the genoral confidence in the sufo and conservative character of both candi dates. Tho avciage voter knows that free trade is impossible insthi* country, for the conclusive reason Unit tho vast revenues now required to moot the ex penses of tho Government will necessar ily afford a far higher degree of protec tion to our established and prosperous manufacturers than cither Alexander Hamilton or lletiry Clay thought desir able in tho infancy of our weak and struggling industries. The averagu voter also knows that the Irredeemable paper currency in urc lieforo tho war can nover reappear. On the other baud, ho knows as well that no system of duties on im ports, however inequitable, can prevent our continued growth in wealth, in man ufactures, and in population, a growth duo to tho incomparable gifts of Provi dence, tho intelligence and energy of tha people, and tho blessings qf free institu tions. While I am more than ever resolvod to hold duty to country far abovu uny ties of party, I find myself at present in gonornl accord with the Democratic Party, oud willing to trust its course in the fututc. Tha insight, tho courage aud the patriotism tho masses of tho party exhibited iti compelling tho nomi nation of Mr. Cleveland when ho was without a single office holder to support his candidacy seem to line to doumud that I should moot them in tiio same spirit and act with them as long ns they maintain that high standard of polioy and of administration. It is tho more easy to do ro became the Republican Party, socuring its rotura to power four years ago by promisiag to preserva mat ters as they were, at onoo embarked upon wbst I regard as a reokioss and revo lutionary polioy, even overturning nil the safeguards of legislation lu tho House 'of Representatives lu their haste to pass the Foioe bill and tho McKinley bill, both, to my mind, unnecessary aud uu- wisa measures. The opposition to the Force bill, ns not only sure to create far greater evils than it could euro, but ns also subversive of tbo rights of tho States, has become so oarncst and widespread that it is said to havo been abandoned; but it is must not bo forgotton that only two years ago such a mossuro was warmly advocated by the Republican Party, and vory narrowly escaped becoming a law. Thera is no protonso, however, that the McKinley bill is abandoned. On tha contrary, our express approval of it is demanded. No doubt that bill, which l cannot but think was an uncalled Cor dlsturbauco of the then-existing tariff, greatly benelltod a few interests, but cor- tainly it greatly oppressed many others. Of tho protected industries themselves, many were then, ns now, in far inoru urgent need of free raw materials than at higlior protection, but with raw mater ials on the free list tha bill could not have passed, for those having such mater ials for side controlled enough votos to defeat it, and they were vory likely to do so if their bounties wore discontinued. Tho manufacturers needing free raw materials were therefore, obliged to join in tho objectionable processes of increas ing prices by .restricting production,thus adding to tho number of trusts by which the prico of the necessaries of life is placed at the mcroy of uulawful com binations of capital. It is not surprising that labor, believ ing itself to be oppressed, soon rose in revolt, and civil war lias actually raged this summer in four different sections of the country. Am), of course, tho farm ers, paying more for what thoy buy aud getting less for what they sell, grow poorer day by day; nud excellent farms in some of the most fertilo sections of this most highly protected State will hardly bring the cost of tho buildings upon them. Rut the economic evils, howover great, of tiie McKinley bill and tho unreasonable system of protection it represents are of far less importance to my mind than tho moral evils which follow in their wake. In deciding for what purposes tho masses of tho pcoplo may properly bo taxed, it must not be forgotton that tnxo3 have a wonderful capacity for filtering through all interveniug obstacles till they reach the bowed back of toil and resting there, and therefore tho giving of bouuties undor any form of taxation is mainly tho giving away of the wages of labor. Tho sail truth that the curse of tho poor is their poverty is illustrated iu uotliiug more clearly than in tho unduo share they suffer of the burdens of taxation. But, apart from this consideration, ought not taxes only be imposed ns re quired for public purposes, or may they also be imposed for the pecuniary ad vantage of such persous or ciai-.o? as are able to control Congressional action in their favor! It seems to mo like a travesty on taxation to require, ns the McKinley bill does, the farmer who grows corn in Indiana to pay a bounty to tho farmer who produces caoo sugar in Louisiana, or to require tbo farmer who grows wheat iu Pennsylvania to pay n bounty to tlm farmer who produces maple sugar In Vermont; but it is nesrnr tragedy than travesty to tax tho masses of the people to increase tho wealth of the very wealthy owners of most of our protected industries. Hut even such inequality and injustice nro tho least of its evils, for while such a system endures political corruption is absolutely sure to increase, as such a system not only invitoi, but it requires, tho corrupt mo of money both at tho polls and in Congress. It is of its very essence that “fat” shall bo “fried" out of Its innollclarios. Who shall happen to do the “frying” or who shall happen to distribute tho “fat" neon any partic ular occasion is more matter of detail, but wliilu that system lasts both will con tinue to l>o done by somoboyly. And the evils of n system of legislative bounties, so far from stopping, only bo- gins with tlioso bounties secured to the industries protected by tha tariff. The disastrous course of tho Republican Party on tho silver question is an apt illustra tion of this truth. It ought to be aa honost-monoy party, and it would bo If it could; hut whiles it demanded increased bountio! for its favorito manufacturers, il could nut refusu increased bounties ta tiie silver producers, ns the votes they control were probably necessary to tho passage of the McKinley bill. Ho situated, tho Republican Party had no alternative but to puss tho silver law of 1890, dou bling thu puichaso of silver and requiring the building of more warehouses in which to store tiie useless metal. Tho total purchases made by tho Gov ernment amount to hundreds of millions of dollars, anil would not renhzo, if re sold, ouc-hnif tlioir cost, whila tho poi son of debased currency, whose work, however alow, is sure, is making itself daily more and more felt in ovory chan nel of business and finance, and is in evitably driving gold out of the country and leading us to all tho evils of a lluc- luating and therefore dishonest currency based upon silver alone. Tho Republi can Party enunot take any effective stops toward repealing tho bill, for tho silver men are vory likely if their bounty is stopped to so vote tiiat the bouuties of tiie McICinloy bill will stop also. Tiie abuses of tho pension system fur nish another apt illustration uf the evil) sure to follow such a system of legisla tion. If Oongress wns to levy taxos upon the people to confer boutias upon certain classes of manufacturers, it was vory na tural that tiie pension ugents should also join hands to increase their foes by an indiscriminate grouting of pensions. Tbo result is that nearly a generation after tho close of the war there is a stoady in crease of tho vast sums passing through tbu pension agents’ hands, until now the total ainouut staggers belief, aud has be come of itself a vory serious burden upon the Trensury. From tiie day of Loo’s surrender until uow no single voico has over been raised against the most gon- crous provision for every person who had any just claim upou the gratltudo of tho country; but surely there is neither rea son nor justice in legislation whioh de stroys all distinction betweou the dls- churgo of duty and the shirking of it, between loyal service and desertion of tho colors, between wouuds received in battle and diseases contracted in the pur suits of peace. Thoro ii still another groat and in creasing evil chiefly traceable, in my opinion, to tho maintenance of an exces sive tariff sinoo tho war, aad the con stant meddling with it to make it higher, aud thnt is tha bringing to our shores of thosu vast swarms of undosirublo immi grants who degrndo American labor by their competition aud threaten tho sta bility of institutions based upon nu in telligent love of country. Just ns tha duties upou imported merchandise have been increased, so lias the grade of im ported labor boon lowered, until now, mulor tho McKinley bill, thoro are com ing here ovory month many thousands of lAoro ignorant, nnd therefore leas do- sirablo, laborers thau ever before. It is not easy to exaggerate tho moral ovlls they ate likely to inflict upon our social order and our National tifo. As the Ropublioau Party is now defi nitely committo i to tho poltoy of taxing tho people for the purpose of giviug bountiui to -noli persons or interests ns can seenro tho necessary votes in Oon gress, so the Dsoioor-Ulc Party is uo.v us dolluitoly committo l to the policy of restricting taxation to the needs of the Government for public purposes alone. Tho gulf lixod between tboso two poli cies of taxation is ns wide nu l deep as can well exist between political partioi, and l mu also eouviuosd that tno old causes in which 1 mn interested cannot nope for success until the avowed policy of tiie Republican Party oil this subject is overthrown. Until then the right of each State to control elections wituiu its birders will nut b : secure. Until then there is no prospect ol our enjoying tho single and stable standard of value which other civ ilized and o msmercinl Nations possess. Until then there is no hope of placing either our pension system or tho regula tion of immigration upon a just and proper basis. Until then tho purifica tion of our politics will continue “the iiidescont dream” which high Republi can authority has declared it must al ts ays remaii:. Until thou uny pretended reform of the civil service must prove, ns il has proved this last four years, u delusion nnd a suare. And until then even ballot reform, the best help yet discovered to honest elec tions, and already threatened with over throw- by the Republican managers in Maine, Vermont, and Indian i, must share the same fate of betrayal in the house of its pretended friends. All these causes are, iu the vory nature of things, the relentless foes of a system of govern ment by bouuties to favored interests, aud such a system is their relentless foe. As 1 believe, lor the reasons I have given, thnt tho true welfare of the coun try would bo promoted l>y Mr. Cleve land's election, it is my duly to voto for him, nud as I recall tiie capacity, tho fidelity, and the courage with which he has heretofore discharged every public trust committed to him, the duty be comes :i pleasure. Sincerely yours, Waynk MacVkaiih. GEORGIA NEWS IN BRIEF. of Interest Gathered at from All Over the State. The Georgia factory, situated about five miles from Athens, was burned to the ground a day or two ago. The cause of the tire Is unknown. This conflagra tion causes over three hundred opera tives to he out of employment. Tho to tal loss is estimated nt (180,000, besides (20,009 worth of new michiuery just re- ceivedr Tho instiranco^on tho wliolo was only (10,000. The factory will be re built. A rnoTouit wiiKU in tno Tyrol matin a negative of ten tourists against a back ground of pine woods. When he de veloped the plate a faithful presentment of a large bear in the act of making for the denser timber appeared in the edge of the forest. Neither the man with tii camera nor any of those iu the group had known that tho brute was near. Locturor Crawford, tho colored re publican candidate for the house from MclDtosh, takes his defeat like a man. Ho siys the election was one of the fair est and best lie has ever seen in McIn tosh couDty. “My votes went in the ballot box and were counted all right and [ have nothing but praiso for the managers and clerks," says (he cx-repre- sentutivo. “The trouble,” soys Craw ford, “Is I did not got enough votes, and of course I was defeated, but it was fair ly and squarely done.” V * V A Week Mhort. Oovcrnor Nortlieu will lose n week from bis first term. Two years ago ho was inaugurated, November 8tb. This year ho will bo inaugurated botwocn October 20th., and November 20th. This comes about through tho ratification of the constitutional amendment Convening the general assembly on tho fourth Wed nesday in October. Th ■ constitution of the state says that the govenor Is to bo inaugurated during the first week of tho general assembly’s session. At the re quest of Governor Co quitt r tho supreme court decided that tho first week means lho first seven days of tho session. Gov ernor Colquitt did not havo his massage quite ready when tho legislature met and it was for that reason lie asked for an opinion from the supremo court which Judge Jacksou delivered. When tho as sembly convenes the clerk of tho preced ing house always calls the representa tives to order, making tip tho roll from the list of members sentiu by tiie secre tary of stato through the governor. These members nro sworn in nnd then the clerk nnuounccs tiiat the election of a speaker is in order. The clerk is the presiding nfllcer until the spunker is elected. As soon ss tliut is dono tho speukcr takes tho chair aud announces that the elect ion of a clerk is in order. A sergeant at arms, messenger anil door keeper tire nett elected. On the second day of the session the secretary of state delivers to the president of tho suuuto tho election returns for governor. Tlieso are opened by the president of the senate iu joint soeion and he and tire speaker of the house count the vote and an nounce tho risult. A committee is ap pointed to wait on the governor nnd ask him when it wilt suit him to be inaugu rated. He generally rep ies nt tbo pleas ure of tho general assembly. Unless a special day Is fixed by tho assembly tho inauguration takes place on the first Bit- urdny nftev tbo assembly moots. If that is the programo this year Governor Nor- then will bo inaugurated for bis second term, Octobor 29lh. V * * A Bright Outlook* Here is an encouraging talk an AUauta Constitution reporter had a day or two ago with Mr. John A. Donavan, mana ger of the Ii. G. Dun commercial agoucy. The facts which ho gives should certain ly cheer the hearts of our poople of trade and finance. Speaking of tho financial condition of tho south, Mr. Donavan said: “Advices from almost overy sec tion of tho south indicate beyond ques tion thnt tho cotton crop of ninety-two has bocii made with much less expendi ture of money than that of the previous year. To this encouraging condition has also been udded the presence of better prleos than wo expected. Tiie gain al ready made has been felt to tiie advan tage of farmer and merchnnt. Experts claim that if present priceH nro main tained from sixty to ninety days longer, millions of dollars of whnt may tie con sidered unexpected wealth will be added to tho south’s resources. This means larger trade in all directions, and a still further reduction of tho indebtedness of tho farmer. “The past twelve months have boon trying to almost overy branch of business throughout tbo south. It luis boon a reason of liquidation. Everyone appa rently lias been trying to get down to bed rock. The result of this has been that trade has been unsatisfactory, hut at the tame time tho collection of debts the closing of accounts nnd the clonring up of old (cores bus not been surpassed iu many years. “The return of better times will find tho mercantile capital of tho country iu excellent shape, ou account of tho drop ping from old accounts of tlio assets of udeortnin value. Boom towus nnd watered enterprises havo very nearly boon knocked out of existence. Forced economies on the farm, in tho shop nnd in the couuting room have purified tho commercial atm 'sphere, so to speak, nud with the political disturbances of a presidential year over, we are vory likely to see n rnpi'l nud healthy advance iu every department of commerce nnd in dustry. “The failures in the southern slates for tho first nine months of 1891 were 2,012 nud the iiqbilites were (39,052,141. For the corresponding period of the pres ent year thorn were 1,812, with liabilities of (10,517.058, n difference in favor of Ihu prtsent year of Hourly forty-live per cent. Tho failures for the past six months arc much smaller in number thin for the Inst ten years, while tiie liabilities nro considerably less than tlioso of any year since 1882 for the same period. In mv humble judgment, tho business of tbo south is uow on 6olid basis, and the out look for tiie immediate future promising for all legitimate lints of busimss." Election of Juilnrsitml Solicitors.

On Its In t Lore. The Ropublioau press is quotin',' us statistics at groat length to prove that necessary living exponses nro higher in Great Britain thno here. Wo aro all thankful for this information, but couple 1 with it is an assertion that is an insult to the intelligence of this Nation. With brazen assumption we are told, iu tho language of tho New York Press, that “Protection, is making this differ ence, by raising wages and lowering the prices of goods in this country.” Pro tection, that is doing all It can to defeat tho natural cheapness of our raw materi als; thnt increases tho cost of machinery to till the soil, to manufacture our goods und to transport them, and that increases tho cost of every dutiable Imported ar ticle consumed here I “Protection," that increased tbo cost of living, as Hamilton, Clay and Webster admitted, but which they attempted to justify, to a limited degree and for a limited time, because of other considerntious. This same “Protection," wo are to believe, because it cannot ontircly detent the natural results of the most productive country on the globe, is what makes liv ing cheap hero. The system must iudeed bo on its last legs when its friends at* tempt to justify it rfl’i this absurd plea. If they had talked this nonsense thirty yoars ago our rational voters would never have employed McKinley to mako tariff schedules. A Wolf in Oattep'B Clothing. With tho duty higher and the price of wool lower than) ever before, Brad- street’s saysi “Manufacturers show a groat inclination to take wool. Tho mar- kot bus weakened on several grades, aud tbore is good reason to betievo tiiat it will go lowor before advancing. Present conditions are difficult to explain ou the basis of supplies." And yet wo nave a party with gall enough to send tho author of this cilam- ity amongst the flocks of Vermont nnd Ohio to oxpress sympathy by trying to bleat with the sheop. It is no wouder tho sheop in Vermont took to tho. woods when they hoard tho wolf’s voico. it is said tiiat consternation is also soizing tiie herds in Ohio, and that when Gov ernor McKinley appears on tho Republi can side of the field all of the wise old rams, followed by the rest of tbo flock, make a break for tho Democratic side of the field, where they huddle together, bleatiug and trembling, until tiie Re publican wolf iu sheep's clothing is safely out of sight. The Democrats are beginning to understand the meaning of the enthusiasm and noisy demonstrations tiiat attend McKinley in theso regions, and—well, thoy intend to take good care of the frightened lambs. Grasshopper* as Food. A grasshopper plague being advertised for this summer in tho West, tho Depart ment of Agriculture n-sks: “Why should not tiie people who arc reduced to star vation by these insects use them for food !” Experiments have been made by its scientific corps which prove tlint grasshoppers nro both palatable and nu tritious. Gentlemen employed in the in vestigation have tried them iu many styles of cookery and have declared them to be delicious. Unfledged grasshop pers, boiled for two hours, with butter, spices nud salt added, compose a broth that is scarcely distinguishable from beef brotli, though possessing a peculiar and indescribable flavor of its own. Fried in their own oil or roasted, they havo a most agreeable nutty taste and crispness. Ground aud compressed, they will last fresh indefinitely. Persons who have looked into the sub ject assert that insects might furnish to mankind important contributions of food which are at present unused and despised. It has been ascertained by the Govern ment experts that young wasp grubs fried iu butter are a most agreeable deli cacy. On every farm the nests of these insects aro ruthlessly destroyed, whereas a little knowledge would show the much artlicted agriculturist, how to derive from them a welcome dish, for his table. Young wasp grubs, fed as they are upon tho sweetest juices drawn from fruits and (lowers, naturally possess a most delicate flavor. Perhaps the best way to prepare them is to bake them in the comb.— [New York Commercial Advertiser. The Lapps. The Lapps call thetr country Sabmc or Same and themselves Samolots, and tbo term lot has generally been supposed to be a contemptuous nickname given to them by foreigners, derived from the Finish “lappu,” and meaning simply “land’s end folk.” A more plausible suggestion, however, is that of Profes sor Frils, of Christiania, who refers the term to an old Finnish root “Inppan,” signifying to roam or wander about, in allusion to their nomad habits, In the mouth of southern or more civilized Lapps it appear) to have become aynony- mouso with rudo or barbarous, and is so applied by them to the less cultured northern communities. Anthropologists seem to havo some difficulty in assigning to the Lappa their exact place in the human family, bat it may be safely affirmed that they aro a combination of Caucasian and Mongo- lian types. Be this as it may, their physical characteristics are remarkable— decidedly more remarkable than attrac tive. They aro probably tho shortest race in the eastern hemisphere, unless it bo Mr. Stanley’s demoniacal dwarfs. A mau over five feet in height would bo a giant among them, and tho women are rarely more than 4 feet 0 inclios. They ure also the shortest headed and the thinnest skinned people in the world. Home of them indeed aro long headed enough in tho intellectual sense, and know as well as any how to drive a bargain and dual with strangers, but they arc none tho less pre-eminently what the scientific people designate as “brachy- c phalic.”—Good Words.
