Bres. ef these enjoy special privileges
anil are under muuTc*ipaxprotection. The own
er* of each of tt»o«e lots are expectb \ to reap ft
fortune from an advance in city real estate. It
is to their interest as well as to their necessit | o
have them assessed at high speculative figures.
Of course, when they return the value of their
taxable property to the state and county they
must adopt the valuation placed uyon it by the
city assessors. Common honesty and a common
Interest prompts this valuation on their part.
But it is very high, very fictitious, very specula
tive and brings about very oppressive taxes. Now
these good city property owners reason thus:
If we can get the lands and property of the far
mers returned at a fictitious and speculative
value, and thus place all the taxable property
■ in the state upon a fictitious and speculative ba
sis, it will greatly lessen “our burdens.” We
will be able to command speculative prices for
our prorerty, but the farmer,♦while he pars tax
es upon a speculative valuation of his property,
will not be able to realize one half that value
wheu his property is exposed to sale. This
whole project of tax assessors originated iu our
larger cities and towns, and it is the old story of
the fox that hail his tail cutoff in a steel-trap
while depredating upon his neighbor’s proper
ty. He saw that his only chance for social
respectability was to persuade all foxdom that
the “latest fashion” required every fox to have
aft. liob-tail. Our clever and enterprising city
Wo try also have had (it not their caudal appen-
Hgu). certainly their {rockets considerably clip
bv tax assessors, and mow their only hope of
relief is to persuade the coup try people, the far
mers. the land owners that tax assessors is a hi
'lot?,'.
One point additional in regard to this city zeal
for tax assessors. All the money of the state,
he product of onr agricultural industries, is
Ix'ffip onto a few of our larger cities. Our
corporations, railroad and banking, have estab
lished their headquarters there. There is a
plethora Of money there, wbila the producers,
the wi who do the work, make the 'wealth, are
nearly starving and were never before so poor,
so depressed, so financially embarrassed. These
towns and cities can build hotels costing one
million of dollars. T* raise seventy-five thou
sand dollars for another public building is only
i a “before breakfast” job. They are bubbling
over with money, and as the city autocrat,
whether capitalist <*r journalist, looks at his
protuberant pocket and at the assessed value
ol his corner lota, he concludes drat the old far
mer who returns his land that does net support
him at a taxable valuation of three to live dollars
per acre and which would not bring that amount
i of money if offered at public outcry for cash, is
! a preferred scoandrel, incapable of swearing to
the truth if ha can save a few dollars by swear
i :ng to a falsehood, and he therefore must have
! assessors to value his property, with our “oor
i aer lets" and our “protuberant pockets” as the
I standards of valuation. Their logic is about
this way: “We are growing rich,
bly, by means which are dark and tricks which
are unmentionable), therefore, that old country- j
man and iaud-owner is likewise grow’iug rich,
and is endeavoring to conceol the fa-t on the i
tax books by swearing falsely and we must i
•bring mm to law’ by having assessors to value 1
his property.” We confess such logic as this |
makes the blood boil in our reins. Such logi- !

- S ?e deal to Europe am!
Mr. Gladstone came into
the last time live years ago. It is
said Queen Victoria is personally un
friendly to him, but the elections of that
year forced a conservative policy, and
public opinion constrained the offer of
the premiership to Mr. Gladstone. The
first trouble the latter gentleman encoun
tered was the Irish question, that ever
reeurringdifficulty in English legislation.
Ilis cabinet succeeded in quieting the
Irish for a time, but the assassination o r
Ltjfd-Gavendish and Secretary Burke, in
Dublin, threw everything into confu
sion. They were murdered fn Open day
light, and ihe feeling was so intense'
among the Dish that the government
was rendered almost powerless in bring
ing the murderers to justice.
A war in tne Soudan, in 18S2, had a
better ending than the last war with
that country, and the British troops were
successful. The year ISB3 was quiet,
and the opposition improved the time by
organizing a strong opposition to the
Gladstone ministry, and the year ’B-1
was stormy throughout. The troops
were unsuccessful under Wolsely,
Gordon perished at Khartoum, Russia
set up a quarrel about Afghanistan, Ire
land began to growl and mutter, dyna
miters struck a telling blow at the House
of Commons and the Tower, but under it
all and through it all, Gladstone fought
his way, until the ministry sought to
raise additional revenue by an extra tax
on beer, and that “straw broke the cam
el’s back.” The opposition to Gladstone
united with the Irish Parnellites, and
with the disgruntled crowd in Glad
stone's ranks, and defeat overcame the
gallant old statesman. In England the
ministry is always in accord with the
majority. In America, the president and
cabinet can be of diverse polities from
both Houses of Congress and yet worry
along, lighting fol’ power step by step,
but not so in the British Parliament.
Whenever the ministry fails to carry a
measure, that brings a resignation as a
sequence and the dissenters are then put
in control until they in turn are de
feated. The effect of this crisis on Rus
sia may be serious, and the Irish in
America are said to he jubilant over the
present status of tiie Irish question.
With this outlook it is evident that the
incoming ministry will have its hands
full to lead the government to a satis
factory solution of all its difficult prob
lems of war and finance. The most
alarming feature lies in prominence
that the disaffected Irish give to rhe suc
cess of dynamite. They boldly proclaim
the belief tiiat dynamite lias wrought
the change, and judging the future hy
the past, this volatile, incautious, impoli
tic race, will forthwith attempt to repeat
the dose and thereby cripple their cause
and Injure their well-wishing statesmen
in a patriotic effort to relieve their pres
ent unhappy condition. The times are
ominous, and as some shrewd observer
remarked, “the unexpected always hap
pens.”
Another of Collector Crenshaw’s dep
uties, Representative X. B. Cash, of
Jackson county, refuses, like Mr. Fite,
of Bartow, to resign his seat in the leg
islature. It is probable that their right
to retain their seats will be investigated
when the legislature meets.—Rome

HBBr>'-» we run over a great deal
worry with a great many
what is far worse than either,
a great many aggravating la-
Hxrers to carry on Uiis extended, dilapi
dated style of farm work.
We do need to get down from these
stilts and tc farm strictly on business
principles. We need the understanding,
the prudence, the judgment and the
common sense to know that borrowed
money or supplies bought with
“promises to pay,” are not the capital
that will make us or this country pros
perous. Let us look the situation square
ly in the face and get down to hard-pan,
in these farming ventures, or quit the
business.
We need, again, some way to.reconcile
the unfairness that prevails between the
farmer and the outside world. As neigh
bor Bili Arp sagely remarked in a late
letter, “How is it, the man who makes
the stuff is so poor, and remains so poor,
while the man who hands it over to the
consumer gsts so rich, and remains so
rich,”'or words to that effect. We do
need to understand and remedy this
difficulty. Just go to Atlanta and see
how money flows out at every public
call, while there is one universal groan
of poverty all over this broad land in the
rural districts. What does it mean, and
where is the remedy ?
In our opinion, we need less law
making and less litigation about as much
as we need anything else in this
•life. How is it that a man with eight,
ten, or twenty thousand dollars invested
in land, and who tries year after year
to make a living by the soil, is kept so
straitened, when the lawyers and pro
fessional people who have nothing in
vested but theii brains and bodies can
live much better, dress much better, and
have time and leisure to go out and en
joy themselves without worry or vexa
tion? What does it mean/ It is ob
vious that there is much more money in
one investment than the other, and it is
not clear that one has all the brains and
the other none.
Now, this is no fancy sketch, and
means a great deal. Who will explain
the remedy? We do need to know and
examine into our own business and its
relations to other businesses and profes
sions. Charles Wallace Howard, Esq.,
gave an illustration some years before
his death, in a public speech, that we
have never forgotten. He said the great
binning class of this country reminded
him of the great big elephant at the cir
cus. The enormous beast had weight
and strength enough in one foot to
crush out any adversary that might at
tack him, but the poor fool allowed
itself to be led arour d by every little
keeper that undertook the task. The
elephant would lie down, kneel down,
squirt water, or throw apples at the bid
ding of the dapper little keeper who
wielded only a rod to punish
the mighty beast. Just so
with the farmer. With the source of
all wealth absolutely in his grasp, he
lies down, gets up, live* hard, and dies
everlastingly poor, at the bidding of
those who have not a tithe of his
strength, power or capacity for heavy
! work. Oh! we do need to know our
| own business, and to protect it from loss

POLITICAL BCUBCGGSRY.
'Hie tight for ISBS has begun in Oliio,
with the late nomination of Judge Fora
ker on the republican ticket for gover
nor. That the tight will be bitter and
protracted there is no doubt. But if all
the republican nominations start out
wiih such shallow reasons for opposition
to democracy as the late convention in
Ohio, the impolicy of the republicans
" ill defeat their own ticket everywhere.
Mr. i tylor, a M. C., the successor to
Garlield in tiie house of representatives,
used these words in the convention:
"Both labor and capital are being driven
into bankruptcy and ruin under demo
cratic rule.” Now, what are the facts?
President Cleveland has been in office
Ohree months, and nearly every office
holder in the United States through
HLom the business of the country has
rbeen carried on for that time is yet a re
publican. The south was never more
quiet and tractable, and we wager there
have not been fewer strikes and labor
riots at any time in the last decade than
during these three months. Labor has
had no showing since the powerful syn
dicates in the north and west banded to
gether many years ago, under the foster
ing care of Mr. Taylor’s party. When
you recollect the Credit Mobelier knaves,
the Sanborn frauds, the steamship sub
sidy swindles, the Star Route thieves
and the many other schemes in which
their leaders proved themselves “useful”
and in which they “cast an anchor to
the wtndvvard,” it is the height of im
pudence and untruthfulness to make
such a statement as the one here alluded
to. The democracy may fail, but the
country at this time is suffering from a
plethora of % knaves, who put in good
work' for themselves twenty years before
the democracy got a ding at either labor
or capital, as a controlling party. This
sort of stulf may do to till up a speech
with, when the orator is about “out of
soap,” but it is folly to expect the coun
try to swallow it or believe it. Mr.
Cleveland is under trial, it is true, but it
would be hard to picture a more deplor
able crisis than the one which preceded
his entry into official power. It takes a
sick man some time to recover under
good and skillful treatment, and the
business of the country, so far as it con
cerned both labor and capital, was in a
very bad way when he took the patient
in charge. If it should be a tedious con
valescence, it will grow out of the fact
that the republican party openly sold and
delivered itself into the hands of a candi
date, who unblushingly used his public
offices for private gain, and who never
touched a legislative act or advocated a
national measure, unless it covered a fat
job or a full purse for himself. Fray,
what showing would ither labor or cap
ital have had under James G. Blaine?
The democrats have not been remarkable
for sagacious prudence since the war,
but the demand of the time and the hour
is simple official honesty, and labor and
capital left themselves ask no other
platform or policy. At any rate, it will
become Mr. Taylor’s party to talk less of
loss and bankruptcy until the people are
able to forget what they have already
suffered under republican rule and ruin.
TIIE DIRTY CAPITOL AGAIN.
Atlanta Cor. Macon Telegraph.
Within a few weeks now—the first Wednes
day in July—the Georgia legislslure will con
vene for the adjourned session. Much is uxpect
ed of this distinguished body at this session, and
it is importont that their surroundings be health
ful, if not particularly pleasant. Being each
and all Georgia statesmen, their health and lives
are of great interest to the state. The building,
however, where they are to meet, called the
capitol, is getting td"be ragged and dirty. It is
a trial and a danger to go through the halls and
corridors of the building. The dark halls are
covered with heavy, dirty, dark, ragged mat
tinsr; the furniture is dilapidated, and every
thing, except in a few of the departments,
where decency, health and necessity demanded
a certain ainountof refurnishing. This condi
tion of things must be apparent every day to
the governor and to Colonel John A. Stephens,
the keeper of public buildings. It would seem
eminently proper that there should be some im
provement m the condition of the building be
fore the legislature assembles, for sanitary rea
sons, if no other. The senate chamber and the
hall of representatives, connecting rooms, and
corridors, at least ought to be thoroughly over
hauled, cleansed anil refurnished. This would
appear to be one of the chief duties of the keeper
of public buildings until it is accomplished.
The state ought to be able to keep her headquar
ters in decent repair, and that mucli is expected
of the administration. Aside from the dirt apd
filth that has collected in and under the old
matting it is not pleasant for visitors going
through the capitol to stviniblo on the ragged
llooring and fall. They arc uat apt to carry
away witii them impressions either creditable
to the state or to the administration. There is
money in the treasury for this purpose. If there
is uot sulfieient, it is an exigency that would
justify the governor in negotiating a temporary
loan. It will be a good investment for the
state, ami may possibly have a wholesome,
beneficial effect on the assembled wisdom
which is to make laws for us, and tinker with
those we have during the common hot months.
We are glad to see the above. The
OouiiANT was the lirst paper to sound
the note of alarm, but it has begun tc
he echoed all around and about the state
since that time.
This matter is imperative and we hope
there will be no delay. The writer is
satisfied that the unpleasant surround
ings, tho poor ventilation and the filth,
made many a member suffer last winter,
and to our positive knowledge it made
one visitor very sick, so there is a good
reason for an attempt at improvement.
At every session for several years past
the health of delicate members has been
greatly impaired, and as the evil grows
constantly worse and never better, it is
high time there was a change betore the
July session.
A Murder Mystery.
Chattanooga, June 9. —Tne South
ern Detective Association has discovered
a clue to a horrible murder committed in
this city five years ago.
A wealthy Georgian came to this city
with a large sum of money on his per
son. While intoxicated he went into a
low dive, on Market street, about mid
night. He was robbed of his money and
murdered with clubs and knives by loaf
ers, To dispose of the corpse it was
weighted with stones and thrown into a
vault, and a barrel of lime was thrown
into the vault to keep the odor from aris
ing. The saloon keeper, his wife and
two sons witnessed the tragedy. The
woman and husband have died, but the
sons are living and doing business in
this city.
One of the boys, while drunk, gave
the matter away.—Augusta Chronicle.
AN UN CO RTUXAT K WRANGLE.
Savannah Times.
A very unfortunate wrangle has
sprung up between Rev. 11. 11. Tucker,
editor of the Christian Index in Atlanta,
a Baptist journal, and Rev. Da. Munhall,
secretary of the Young Men’s Christian
Association of Indiana, who had been
telegraphed to come down and conduct
the revival now going on m that city.
I tie trouble grew out of an article in the
Index in which the editor objected to the
revival being carried on in a warehouse
instead of the churches, and also to the
peculiar methods of Dr. Munhall and his
associates, whom he characterizes as
“professional revivalists.” In reference
to this, Dr. Munhall at a meeting a night
or two ago, called upon his eounregation
to pay for the soul of l>r. Tucker, and la
ter on one of his assistants exhorted his
hearers all to devote a few moments each
night before going to bed to prayer for
that gentleman.
This conduct was exceedingly repre
hensible, lor it is calculated not only to
bring the work of the revivalists into
ridicule, but also to give scoffers a chance
to laugh. Dr. Tucker is a gentleman
who has been engaged in religious work
lor many years and has the respect, so
far as we know, of the great body of his
co-rellgionists. lie is therefore, no
doubt, as fully competent to pray for
himself as are those who so ostentatious
ly request prayers for him, and the call
ing an upon an excited and wrought up
congregation to pray for him, because he
ban conscientiously expressed his disap
proval of the plans and methods of the
revivalist, certainly has about it the fla
vor hypocrisy. It is very much like the
conduct of Bishop Simpson in Washing
ton during the Andrew Johnson im
peachment. trial, who, when he heard
that Senator Waitman T. Willey, of
West Virginia, was inclined to vote
again the republicans and against im
peachment, wrote to some of the pie idl
ers of that state to “come down and pray
with Brother Willey.”
Dr. Tucker does not believe that being
wrought up to a high state of expite
ment is the proper way to effect the
saving of souls. 110 takes the ground that
when sueii means arc resorted to there
necessarily follows a reaction, and a time
of great religious coldness and sloth, and
many who make loud professions in time
of excitement are ashamed of it when
their blood gets cool. lie believes that
the good work can be more effectually
carried on by regular pastors and by
steady labor than by “professional re
vivalists, who make their living by rais
ing popular excitements, an easy thing to
do.” In this Dr. Tucker has both the
precedent and Scripture, for it is well
known that a reaction always naturally
follows any undue excitement, while St.
Paul especially exhorts Timothy not to
strive, but be gentle to all men and pa
tient, instructing his hearers in meek
ness.
But while I)r. Tucker evidently has
right on his side, and while it was very
wrong in those conducting the revival to
have attempted to bring him into disre
pute by intimating that ho was on the
broad road to the old-fashioned hell, and
needed prayers because he was rash
enough to differ with them, it is very
unfortunate that the controversy has
arisen. The work of saving souls is so
tremendous and important that any
agency which can bringptbout the salva
tion of single sinner should be
encouraged. Let Dr. Tucker perform
this high mission then in his own way
and. Dr. Munhall in his way. Brothers
should dwell together in unity, and not
engage in bitter controversy, which runs
the risk of converting what should be a
work of love and peace into a religious
Babel.
STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
Meeting with Mr. W. G. Whidby, the
secretary of the Ceorgia Temperance As
sociation, who has been identified with
the temperance movement in Georgia
since 1845, a reporter ol the Atlanta
Journal asked him what he thought of
the late State Temperance Convention
held in that city, lie responded that he
was gratified at the attendance and the
spirit of the convention. There were
over 150 delegates present. Every con
gressional district was represented. The
reports from the counties enjoying the
benefits of prohibition laws were highly
encouraging. Other counties are prepar
ing to join the grand army of reform,
and the good work goes on.
“What was said or done with reference
to bringing out candidates for governor
and oilier officers?” we enquired.
We decided emphasis he replied, “noth
ing!” There was not the slightest incli
nation in that direction. Oil the con
trary, the convention was a unit, and
their resolutions emphasize their senti
ments in theuneqiivocai and hearty sup
poit of the Georgia plati'—that is keeping
the temperance question aloof from poli
tics —and fighting a square battle on the
naked issue of whisky or no .whisky.
The resolution unanimously adopted is
plain, it declares, “That tins conven
tion composed of representatives of the
people of this State, without regard to
denomination or party, do hereby earn
estly urge upon the General Assembly of
the State the enactment at tl*e next July
session of a general local option law ttn- \
der the provisions of which the people
of each county and municipality in i
which entire prohibition lias not been al
ready adopted, rnay vote upon the qties
tioh whether the liquor traffic shall be li-
censed within their limits or not, and
uuder which the election held upon this
question shall be separated from any oth
er election whatever. That in thus seek
ing to submit the question of prohibition
to the voters of thastate upon that ques
tion only, and in elections in which no
cannidatee are voted for, we are earnest
ly endeavoring to keep the question out
of state and party politics. *We are not
afraid to submit the question to the peo
ple upon its merits, and we insist that
under our form and system of govern
ment, the people have the right to deter
mine it for themselves.”
“Do you think the convention will
prove beneficial ?”
“Certainly. It unified sentiment and
will concentrate and stimulate efibrt in
all perts of the state. The fight has just
begun.”

A Case Resembling that of Gen. Grant.
Some ten years ago I had a scrofulous sore on
my right hand which gave me great trouble, and
under the old-time treatment was ! . ;.!ed up, ana
I supposed I was \v >ll. 1 loaud, however, n had
only been driven into b tbe use of
potash and mercury, and in March :SS2, it broke
out in my throat, and concentrated u hat nine
of the doctors denominated car. .r. i was
placed under treatmeut lor this -c. Some
six or seven ol’ the best physicians , the coun
try had me at different time's under t c b charge,
among them three specialists in tnis ime. but
one after another would exhaust thvir skill and
drop me, for I grew worse continually. The
cancer had eaten through my cheek, destroying
the roof of my mouth and upper lip, then attack
ed my tongue, palate and lower li >. destroying
the palate ami under lip entirely id half my
tongue, eating out to the top of m left chc-i,
bone and up to the left eye, From hearty, ro
bust woman of 150 pounds, 1 was reduced ton
mere frame of skin ami bones, almost unable to
turn myself in bed. I could not eat any solid
food, but subsisted on liquids, and my ton true
was so far gone, 1 could not talk. The anguish
of mind and the horrible suffering of body
which I experienced never can here, a led. Giv
en up by physicians to die, with no hope oi re
covery upon the part of friends who sat around
my bedside expecting every moment U* be my
last; in fact, my husband would place Ids hand
on me every now and then to oe whether ! was
alive or not, and atone time £ll decided that life
was extinct, and my death w<-» .egorted ail over
the country.
Such was my wretched and helpless condition
the first of last October (lsWj wini i \y friends
commenced giving me Swift’s Specific? in loss
than a month the eating .places stopped »nd
healing commenced, and the fearful apertuia in
my cheek has been closed and firmly gniltt I to
gether. A process of a new under lip is pro
gressing finely, and Ihe tongue which w:t. almost
destroyed is being recovered, and it seems that
nature is supplying a new tongue. 1 can talk so
that mv friends can readily understand me, and
can eat solid food again.' i am able u> walk
wherever I please without the assiUJU s of-any
sne, and have gained fifty pounds of i‘ h. All
this, under the blessing df a mercifully Heavenly
Father, is due to Swift’s Specific. 1 am a mar
vel and a wonder to all my friends, hundreds of
whom have known my inten o sufferings, and
have visited me in mv afllic.tions. While lain
not entirely well, y:-t*my vatifudo is none the
less devout, and I am confident that a perfect re
covery is now in si gin If any doubt '!•<■ «• facts,
