Herr Most has at last gained admis
sion into the quarters to which he has
been heading for some time. The courts
of New York, have. convicted and
sentenced him to imprisonment on Black
well's Island. He will now have a splen
did opportunity to agitate his muscles.
Thk German system of insurance of
workmen shows that 8,100,000 men are
now insured, working in 288,000 manu
facturing establishments. Indemnities
have been paid on 10,414 accidents. Em
ployers are obliged to give notice when a
new man is employed, and to advance in
surance premiums for him. Railroads
are included under the law.
The Fiftieth Congress assembled last
Monday morning. Mr. Carlisle was
again elected Speaker, so were all the old
officers of the Forty-ninth Congress ex
cept Doorkeeper Donelson, who was de-,
feated by a Mr. Hurt, of Mississippi. The
new Congress will not do much business
until after the holidays, ns it will not be
come thoroughly organized before that
time.
President Grew, of the French Re
public, has at last resigned and M. Sadi-
Carnot has been elected as his successor.
France seems to be universally satisfied,
and it is considered an augury of peace.
The new President, though not as brilliant
as some of his predecessors, is a man of
fine judgment, honest and incorruptible,
conservative in thought, mild in tempera
ment, and in the vigor of strong physical
manhood.
Georgia furnishes two applicants for
the vacant Mexican mission, in the per
sons of Gen. I*. M. 11. Young and Judge
H. B. Thompkins, of Atlanta; the former
is championed by Senator Colquitt, and
the latter by Senator Brown. President
Cleveland could make no more suitable
selection for this responsible office than
Georgia's gallant Young. Mis appoint
ment would be hailed with general pleas
ure throughout the State.
The Rev. Joseph Cook, of Boston,
thinks the most potent enemy prohibi
tion has is the negro of the South. He
.declares that in fifty years the negroes
will rule the vote of the South, and unless
the young of the race are instructed in
the effects of liquor their voice in the
subjects relating to prohibition would be
all powerful against the movement. We
think that the reverend gentleman is
rather unduly apprehensive, though there
is some ground for alarm in the direction
he suggests. t
Dicing midsummer in Northern Alaska
according to an Arctic traveler, the sun
shines twenty-two hours out of the twen
ty-four, and on the high mountain peaks
for a period of several days in June is not
entirely out of sight during the twenty
four hours. In July and August the
weather becomes very warm. After this
'time the days gradually shorten until the
Him shines but four hours out of the
twenty-four, but at this period the aurora
is exceedingly intense and helps materi
ally in dispelling the darkness.
President Cleveland’s message was
read to Congress on Tuesday. It is a
strong document, expressed with unusual
clearness and force. It is mainly devoted
to the tariff and tax reform. I pon the
tariff, the President does not take the j
ground'd' the extremists of either faction,
but rather a middle or compromise view.
Me urges the necessity for immediate
relief from the great surplus acciimula- j
tioiis of the Government, anil makes
some suggestions as to how it can be
brought; about.
The SupreimKlqurtof the United States ,
has just rendered decision in the Vir
ginia bond case. ThelWision holds that
a State cannot be sued in A. Federal Court.
The action of Judge BomUVj placing the ,
Attorney General of Virginia in jail for
contempt- of court, in that he i -fused to ,
regard the injunction of the court, was |
reversed, The decision is a very inXioi-
taut one, and establishes the sovereignty
of the States in matters pertaining ex-!
clusively to the settlement of their own
affairs.
Important Nominations.
President Cleveland has sent to the
Senate ♦ lie following important nomina
tions:
He lias named Secretary i.amar to fill
the vacancy on the Supreme Bench; Post
master-General Vilas to le Secretary of
the Interior, and Mr. Don M. Dickinson,
of Michigan, to lx* Postmaster-General.
The nominations of Charles S. Fairchild,
of New York, as Secretary of the Treas
ury; (ieorge L. Rives, of New York, as
assistant Secretary of State; James \V.
Ilvatt, of Connecticut, as Treasurer:
Isaac H. Maynard, of New York, as as
sistant Secretary of the Treasury, and
Signorney Butler, of Massachusetts, as
second Comptroller of the Treasury, were
also seat in, but these gentlemen had
Been appointed during the recess and are
already in office—subject, of course, to
confirmation by the Senate.
None of these appointments cause sur
prise to the country. They have been
anticipated for some time, and, in fact,
looked upon as being as good .as made.
As usual, the President has demonstrated
his good judgment in the selections he
hits made.
Mr. Lamar is the first purely southern
representative placed upon the Supreme
Bench in many years, and no man could
have been selected, more capable of doing
honor to his section, credit to himself,
and giving satisfaction to the whole
country. Ib* is a great scholar, hard
studcntaudii patient, systematic worker.
His qualifications eminently fit him to
wear worthily the robe as a member of
the grandest tribunal the world has ever
known.

Perhaps the most progressive and en
terprising railroad man in the south is
young Joseph M. Brown, the able and ef
ficient general freight and passenger
agent of the Western and Atlantic rail
road. He is always vigilant of the in
terest of this great property, and untir
ing in his efforts to extend its business
and influence. Not only does he care
fully guard the interests of his road, but
lie devotes his energies, to a most com
mendable degree, to the development and
building up of the section of country
through which it passes. Through the
columns of the Kennesaw Gazette, a
weekly journal, issued by Mr. Brown in
tiie interest of the W. & A. R. It. he has
done much to make this line famous by
writing up the war campaigns of North
Georgia. He also gives much space in
this journal to advertising to the world
the varied and inexhaustible resources of
Georgia, in the last issue we find two
articles, one on the advantages of Car
tersville and its future; the other, on the
resources of Bartow county and the op
portunities if offers for the safe and pro
fitable investment of capital. Just such
articles as these, in a journal of the gen
eral circulation of the Gazette, are worth
much to our section, and our people ap
preciate the interest Mr. Brown has thus
mauit sted in the prosperity of theij*
town, and the development of the coun
ty's resources.

Restricting Immigration.
Recent events have been of such a na
ture as to awaken renewed interest in
our immigration laws, and to create
much alarm at the tendency of the cus
tom of permitting an indiscriminate
stream of foreigners to pour into the
United States. This ib a great question,
one that demands the thoughtful atten
tion of congress. This government,
with its free institutions, cannot afford to
continue to receive the socialist and an
archist agitators of Europe. Already
this lias been allowed, until they have
sown their poisonous seeds in the great
cities to such an extent, that the execu
tion of a half dozen of their leaders for
dastardly crimes against society and the
Ifiws of the land, is not enough to eradi
cate the germ that is fast springing up,
but has rather emboldened them in their
threats against the law and the govern
ment.
There must be some means adopted
for regulating and restricting foreign im
migration to this country. To this end.
Senator Palmer, of Michigan, has pre
pared a bill, the principal feature of
which is a provision, which, if it becomes
a law, will require every person of foreign
birth, who contemplates emigrating to
the United States, to provide himslf with
a certificate from the United States con
sul for the district of his residence, “set
ting forth substantially that said consul
is satisfied, upon diligent inquiry that In
is a suitable and desirable person for res
idence and citizenship in the United
States.” Persons of foreign birth not
provided with such certificatss shall not
be allowed by the United States immi
gration officers to land in this country.
The fourth section, which embodies most
of the new legislation proposed by Sena
tor Palmer’s bill, provides that no certifi
cates shall be granted to any convict ex
cept those convicted of political offenses,
my to any lunatic, idiot, or any person
unable to take care of himself or herself,
without becoming a public charge, nor
to any anarchist, nihilist or any person
hostile to the principles of the constitu
tion or form of government of the United
States, nor to any believer or professed
believer in the Mormon religion who fails
to satisfy the consul, upon examination,
that he or she intends to and will conform
to and obey the laws of the I nited States,
nor to any person included in the prohi
bition in the act to prohibit the importa
tion and immigration of foreigners and
aliens under contract or agreement to
perform labor in the United States, ap
proved February 2(>, 1885, or in the acts
amendatory to said act.

I promised to write a letter on the
Treasury Department for this week, but
in view of the assembling of Congress
and the excitement around the Capitol, I
will le excused for changing the plan of
the letter. Instead of rambling through
the vaults of the nation’s great money
house, I will ask you to join me in a trip
to the gallery of the House of Represen
tatives while the 50th Congress gets in
shape for work.
Imagine yourself in Washington, walk
ing down Pennsylvania Avenue from the
Treasury Department to the Capitol; it
is just one mile, going east. The avenue
is the broadest and handsomest thor
oughfare in the I'nited States. It is
crowded with people all tending towards
jjie Capitol. From the Treasury steps
you look in front of you, and see street
cars going and coming up and down the
avenue. You see carriages and fieri*lies
hurrying along in every direction. You
see a stream of walkers filling the side
walk for the full distance of the mile be
tween the Treasury and Capitol. As you
look at the hurrying crowd you catch
the same feeling that seems to move
them, and find yourself anxious to be
going. Shall we walk or ride? Walk, by
all means. A mile sounds like a good
distance to walk when you can ride for
five cents. But the ground is covered
almost before you realize that you have
started. Who are all these people that
seem so anxious to get to the Capitol?
Well, they are a mixed multitude. They
are here from far and near. Some of
them are great men—the greatest the
country affords; some of them are the
very reverse —the meanest the country
affords. No time to dwell on the com
plexion or composition of this motly,
moving mass. But as we go along we’ll
look out for any of the alleged statesmen
who here do congregate in such numbers
just at this time.
Sure enough, there comes one. See
that tall, slim man, with the slight iron
gray mustache and goatee; the one with
the long, loose-fitting overcoat on?
That's Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. He
is the I test talker and the bitterest Re
publican in the Senate. You must hear
him make a speech before you leave the
city.
This is the Metropolitan Hotel we are
passing now. Most of the Georgia mem
bers stop here, and this is the place we
Southern bb,\s congregate of evenings to
gossip and swap news. Mr. Clements,
Mr. Crisp, Mr. Barnes, Mr. Grimes, Mr.
Candler, Mr. Carlton and Mr. Stewart, of
Georgia, stop here. Keep an eye out
now and perhaps we’ll catch sight of a
Georgia Congressman. There! see those
two men just coming out, arm in arm?
Don't you know them? Clements and
Crisp. Don't you think they both carry
pleasant faces. No extra frills about
those two men. They are the same in
Washington as they are in Georgia, and
they are just as approachable and just
as obliging here as they are in Carters
ville or Americus.
This is the National Hotel next, Sena
tor Brown and Mr. Blount live here.
See, t here is the Senator’s carriage now,
waiting to carry him to the Senate
Chamber.
And now we enter the Capitol. Isn’t it
a massive and grand old building? It is
said to cover more than three acres of
ground, and cost between fifteen and
twenty millions of dollars Its style of
architecture is Greek, oft Tie Corinthian
order. It is built of pure white marble
and crowned with a lofty iron doom.
The large circular space where we stand
upon entering is called the rotunda. The
decorations are very handsome and some
of the pictures are grand. Follow me to
the right; we enter the Statuary hall,
where each State has the privilege of
placing the busts, either in bronze or
marble, of two of its illustrious dead.
Look around you fora moment and
see if you can recognize any of these
features that have been so beautifully
chiseled out of cold marble or cast from
bronze. Some of them are Nathaniel
Greene, Roger Williams, Johnathan
Trumbull, John Winthrop, Ethan Allen,
Thomas Jefferson, Washington. Fulton,
Lincoln, Garfield and others. But you
are impatient to look upon the faces ot
living Statesmen instead of dead ones,
so we will pass on to the galleries. The
House clock marks half-past eleven. At
twelve theCougress will be called to order.
Meantime we will watch assembling
greatness. The hull is comfortably filled
already. See, what a happy lot they are!
Such hand-shakers! The old members
are renewing friendships of the past. The
new ones are forming acquaintances that
will doubtless ripen into warm friendships
during the coming months.
Do you observe that they are large
men as a rule? It is safe to say that
nine-tenths of them will weigh over 150
pounds. And their bald heads and ruddy
faces show good living and good diges
tions.
That tall man just entering the hall
from the rear lobby is Mr. Carlisle, the
Speaker of the House. Don’t the mem
bers cluster around him and shake his
hand! You can see at a glance that he
is a born leader among men. His smooth
face and bright eyes give him a boyish
look, but back of that can be seen the
lines of thought and expressions of deep
study. Now, look over on the Republi
can side and observe that ponderous
fellow just coining in. Notice that strad
dling walk, and watch his big fat jaws
shake when he puts his feet down iu step
ping along. 1 somehow think of an ele
phant every time I see that man. Tom
Reed, of Maine, it is, the acknowledged
leader of the Republican side of the
House.
Jv-t me trouble you to glauce over at
the side entrance for a moment. There
comes Mr. Samuel J. Randall, of Penn
sylvania. You know he’s the high tariff
Democrat who is abused so much by cer
tain factions of his party who think
taxes should be reduced. Hasn’t he a
fine face, though? That swinging walk
and firm expression of face mean that he
carries with him a power that is envied
of inaify and possessed by few. He has
his followers in the House, and while they
are not very many, they are often very
powerful. .
Who is that man with the slow move
ment and the bay window front, did you
say? Why, bless you, that’s a Georgia
man, and one of the cleverest of the
whole lot. Don't you remember how the
Augusta people fired cannons and
hurrahed and paraded last year when
their Congrqpsmup returned from Wash
ington, after having served them so well?
His name is George T. Barnes, and he is
embodied in that large mail with the
ample waist-band.
See that man walking down the center
aisle, smiling himself and being smilingly
greeted on both sides as he passes? that’s
Crisp again. You see him to better ad
vantage now, with luh hat and overcoat
off. You think him handsome and grace
ful, do you? Right you are. Wish you
might see him in the Speakers chair,
swinging the gavel. You know he was
mentioned prominently for Speaker of
the House this time if Carlisle had decided
to stop on the floor. And nobody doubts
that he would have made a good one.
He’s the sort of man that you want to
throw your hat up and hurrah for.
Of course you know that man entering
the side nisle. Every fellow in the Seventh
district knows the “Mountain Colt.” He
that was to have been weaned more than
seven years ago, but who at the present
writing is as fine a colt as the mountains
ever produced, and seems in better work
ing trim than ever before. Don’t he
shake hands with lots of the members?
You will find, if you slay here long, that
Clements has more friends than nearly
anybody, and if you should trouble your
self to make inquiry you will learn that
he is regarded as a clean, square, honest
man, who does his duty well, and one
who can, in his quiet way, command as
much influence in the House as any mem
ber from the South. But the gavel
sounds now and we will listen.
( leu. Hark, the Clerk of the House,calls’
tie* session to order. The roll is called,
the member* answer, each in his own
way. It is ‘-here," “hayr." “liw,” “aye.'
‘•.present.," and the like. There is the
Western brogue, the Southern accent,
tse Down-Eastern drawl, and the Y ankee
snarl. Theinemliers form in a semi-circle
around the Speaker's desk and take the
oath of office. Officers are elected, seats
are drawn, and then the coll ossa 1 engine
of States puts the machinery of legisla
tion in motion. The noth Congress is a
fact, full of life and ready for action.
Hope you have sjxMit the day pleas

Prof. R. L. R. Colvin for State Geolo
gist.
The death of Prof. A. U. McCntchen
makes a vacancy in the office of geologist
of the Agricultural Department of Geor
gia. This has, of recent years, become
one of the most important offices in that
branch of the State's service, and its
value to the State is growing every day.
As the wonderful and varied mineral
resources of the State are developed the
importance of the position increases. It
is, therefore, necessary that a comjietent
and capable man should be selected to fill
this vacancy, ami one who has not only the
theoretical knowledge of the science of
geology and mineralogy, but who has a
practical experience and is familiar with
the mineral belt of the State. Prof. Mc-
Cutchen has done a great deal in this
office, and his place should be tilled by a
man who is qualified to take it up ami
carry it on. We do not know of a more
competent or suitable man for the ap
pointment than Prof. R. L. 11. Colvin, of
Rome. His splendid knowledge of his
profession and his thorough acquaintance
with the mineral section of Georgia,
eminently fit him for the place. He is
young, houest, capable and industrious,
and hisefforts in developing and properly
bringing before the public the
mineral interest of Cherokee Geor
gia, deserves for him reeonition.
We would lie glad to see him an ap
plicant for the position, because we
think he could do the State fine service.
Should Prop.Colvin conclude to apply for ,
the place, we take great pleasure, in ad
vance, fn commending him to the Com
missionerof Agriculture, as a most proper
person to fill the vacancy.
The Macon Sunday Times.
The new paper, to be edited by Colonel
Albert R. Lainar and Harry S. Edwards,
will make its first, appearance next Sun
day. Perhaps no newspaper ever started
in Georgia under more favorable auspices
than will inaugurate the Sunday Times.
Its editors are brilliant and classical, and
above all, have the courage of their con
victions.
It is said that the paper will be born
with a list of more than 5,000 subscrib
ers, one-third of whom reside in Macon.
Its first issue will contain “Maje’s
Trust,” from the pen of Mr, H. S. Ed
wards, author of “Elder Brown’s Back
slide,” “Two Bunnaways,” and “Sister
Todhunter’s Heart,” in “Harpers” and
the “Century” Magazines.
To popularize the Times, its projec
tors have adopted a novel and taking
scheme. They propose to donate to the
heirs of any paid up subscriber who dies
an accidental death, the sum off 100.

Prof. Marshall is able to hobble about
a little. His foot is healing very rapidly.
1 very accidentally came into the pos
session of the following facts concerning
the manner in which a couple of young
men managed to get hold of a little “red
eye.” There was several families in cov
ered wagons from the mountains that
stopped over at their home to spend the
night. Some way one of the young men
managed to learn that there was a barrel
in one of the wagons containing ten or
fifteen gallons of “mountain dew.” 11c
told his brother and they agreed to have
some of it that night at any cost, it
was after 11 o’clock before they all re
tired, and they waited until nearly one
before they commenced to operate on the
barrel. They very cautiously removed
it front the wagon to the ground and
tried to pull out the bung, but it would
not budge an inch. They carried it a
short distance from the house and tried
a rw<‘k on it but it was in there tight and
the rock made so much noise that they
carried it still farther, but still The bung
would go loud enough to be heard some
distance, and at last they decided that
they would carry it far enough tins time
and didn’t stop until they had carried it
some 800 yards from the house, away
down by the railroad. They wanted to
be as quiet as possible and as there was
some house close by they were afraid that
the fuss weuld attract attention. Luck
seemed to be in sympathy with them for
just then the north bound passenger
train came thundering by and you may
be sure that they put in good time while
it was passing, for before the sound of
the cars and puffing engine had died
away their object was accomplished.
They had furnished themselves with a
quill and proceeded to draw some of the
contents from the barrel into their thirsty
mouths, The quill was not large enough
and the slow progress they were making
afforded no satisfaction. One of them
went back to the houss to get something
to catch fame of it in, but being afraid
to cute* the house he only succeeded in
getting a dipper with a hole in it and the
washpan. These they filled and then en
joyed the fruits of their labor. 1 will not
give the names of the young men, or tell
where they live, but will say that they
lijje in Bartow county. I forgot to say
that all the time they were working with
the barrel the rain was coining down in
torrents. VV. C. \Y.
KINGSTON.
The past week has been an eventful one
in Kingston. On the 28th the alarm of
fife was given and it was soon discovered
that Dr. C. W. Mayson's beautiful resi
dence was on fire, but through the prompt
exertion of the citizens with buckets the
film, was soon extinguished with slight
damage. It caught from a defective flue.
Dr. Mayson tenders his thanks to the
kind friends that came to Ills rescure and
saved his house.
On tlnj night of the 80th a message
came from Capt. A. F. Woolley's, two
and one-half miles from Kingston, that
Mr. Elisha Haynes, a young man in the
employ of C’aot. Woolley, had been acci
dently shot and killed by A. F. Woolley,
Jr. Your correspondent, in company
with Rev. J. W. White, went out by re
quest of Mrs. W., and the scene on our
arrival was distressing, and from Mrs.
W. and Feaster Woolley, the following
statement was given. The family re
mained in Mrs. Woolley’s room in pleas
ant conversation until 8 o’clock, and the
young men repaired to their room to re
tire. Mr. Haynes, standing at the bureau,
saw Feaster place a pistol under his pil
low and asked him why he did so, and he
answered that his mamma was scarry
when his papa was from home and he
kept it to protect her in case of danger.
Mr. Haynessaid the pistol would not fire,
as lie had tried it. Feaster took out the
pistol to show him how it wus worked and
it fired in his hands and the ball went
crashing through Mr. Haynes’brain. He
lived fifteen or twenty minutes. The
family thought a great deal of Mr.
Haynes and the two young men were
warm friends. Capt. Woolley was in At
lanta and was telegraphed to come home.
The next day Coroner Patterson sum
moned a jury and held an inquest, ren
dering a verdict of accidental killing with
a pistol in the hands of A. F. Woolley,
Jr. (apt. Woolley and family and the
family of the deceased have the heartfelt
sympathies of our entire community.
The corpse was taken on Friday by Capt.
\\ oolley to Xewuun near where the par
ants of the unfortunate young man live.
The social party at J.' M. Davidson's
I’ I'iday night, I am told, was a very pleas

Deafness Can’t be Cured
bv local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucus liningof the Eustachian
Tube. When this tube gets inflamed,
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
Deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can lie taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condi
tion of the mucus surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Hollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that we cannot cure by taking Hall's
Catarrh Cure. Send for circular, free.
