DEMOCRACY BULES.
The Fifty-Third Congress of the
United States assembled in Washing
ton on Monday morning, and for the
first time in nearly a generation the
good old Democratic party —the
party of the people—is in powe r .
both branches of the legislative de
partment and the executive being in
full party sympathy. Every Georgia
member and both Senators weie
present and answered to the roll call.
Charles F. Crisp, the gallant Geor
gian, was re elected Speaker, receiv
ing 214 votes against 122 votes for
Reed and 7 votes for Simpson. His
induction was received by generous
applause from the members and the
galleries.
The Democratic party is once
again at the throttle, now let the
great Ferris wheel of reform pro

terpreted to be a declaraiou in favoi
of the single gold standard. As suel
it is a disappointment to those who
favor bimetalism. Every Cougies.-
man from Georgia joins issue with
the President in this matter, although
they admit his honesty and admit*
his frankness. It remains to be seen
whether the wishes of President
Cleveland or the great mass of the
people will prevail in Congress on
this great question.

Bill Arp delivers an opinion that
the only solution of the race question
in the South is to send the negroes
back to Africa. We think Bill is on
the right line, and believe this plan
is far more natural and feasible than
colonizing the negro in some territory
or state in America. Colonize them
in America and they would soon
burst their bounds and then there
would be trouble with them on a
grander scale than ever. Africa tor

Washington Letter.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, August 7, 1893.
If to day was not the proudest da}'
Speaker Crisp ever saw his looks
belied him, and he must differ from
the average man. His first election
to be Speaker of the House—an;
office only secund in authority and'
dignity to that of President—was
the end of one of the bitterest con
tests ever wage 1 within party lines,
and now, after being unanimously
nominated for the position by the
party caucus he is fur the second time
elevated to the honorable position.
It was a personal triumph of which
any man might well be proud, and
which few men have attained. The
following officials were also elected
by the House: Clerk, James Kerr,
of Pennsylvania (re-elected); Serge
ant-at-Arms, Herman C. Snow, ( x-
Congresstnan) of Illinois; Doorkeeper,
A. B. Hurt of Tennessee; Post
master, Lycurgus Dalton, of Indiana,
(re-elected); Chaplain, Rev. S. W.
Haddaway, of the District of Columbia.
Vice-President Stevenson presided
over the opening session of the Sen
ate, which was a short one, as Presi
dent Cleveland’s message will not go
in until to-morrow.
There were several good reasons
why a large attendance was not ex
pected at the opening of the extra
session. There was no contest over
the Speakership and many members
of the House look no interest in those
over the other officials; still, the per
centage of members present was
about the average for the first day ol
a session. All the members have
been heard from and they will all be
in their seats before the House is
ready to get down to real business,
which it cannot do until Speaker
Cri«p has completed and announced
the committee assignments, for the
very simple reason that none of the
bills ntroduced can be acted upon
until en.
Sp aker Crisp is losing no time
and just as soon as lie can get the
committee assignments completed I e
will announce Hum, hut there is not
much probability that it will be ear
lier than next week. The propost
ion has been made that Mr. Crisp
follow the example set by President
Cl-velind, in announcing the mon .
bers of his cabinet as last as they
were selected, and announce the
committees as fast as they are made
up, so that they may get to work on
the bills as fast as they arc intro
duced ; but the suggestion is hardly
practicable. There is so much dove
tailing necessary in assigning the
members to committees that the com
mittees are all practically made up at
about the same time.
Some one has proposed and the pro
posal meets with favor from many
members, that an entirely new com
mittee, to be called the committee on
Coinage and Currency, be adited to
those existiug in the House, and that
to it be referred all bills relating to
coinage and currency. The reason
for this proposal is the constant clash*
ing between the committee on Coinage,
Weights and Measures and that on
Banking and Currency, as to the ref
etence of bills? Should the proposal
be adopted those two committees
would be less important, as the first
would deal onlv with comparatively
insignificant bills relating to Weights
L-* Measures and the latter only
with bills relating to Banking. The
new committee, if formed, would rank
with the Ways and Means and Ap
propriation committees in importance.
President Cleveland returned to
Washington Saturday afternoon and
spent Sunday quietly at his suburban
residence. He says be never felt
better, and he certainly looks to be in
the most robust health. He is very
confident that the legislation of the
extra session will be satisfactory.
When Secretary Herbert’s annual
report is made it will be seen that his
inspection tour of the Atlantic coast
navy yards was not a mere */'asure
junket, but was just what it<flLrported
to be—an inspection of ards vis-
ited, covering general futilities and
methods of working. (Pus may sur
prise some people, bu* surprises are
trequent under the D mocratlc admin
istration.
Treasury officials say the scarcely
of small bills which is now prevailing
iajo fault of theirs, as they have
plenty oTsmalt notes afld-gfadly fur
nish them to banks which apply for
them in exsbange for notes of larger
denomination. A Congressman speak
ing of this, said: “There seems to be
a screw loose somewhere, when busi
ness men of New York pay a premium
to get small notes when by sending
to Washington, only six hours away,
they could get all they needed without
paying anything. This matter ought
to be looked into.”
The administration proposes Io do
its part the National banks
to increase their circulation, nnd the
bureau of Engraving aud Printing is
now working extra time printing small
notes to supply the demaud expected
to be made by the banks.

ELBERTON.
Special Correspondence.
Last Saturday morning the people
of Elberton who arose with the lark,
were greatly astonished to find some
forty or fifty hands busily engaged
in tearing down the Court House.
The work had commenced at day
light, and no one except those en-;
gaged in directing and doing the
work seemed to know anything
about it. Not even the officers of
court were aware of any such pro
ceeding until they were sent for to
take charge of the records and pa
pers in the different offices.
A temporary lodging place had
been secured in one of the store
rooms under Smith’s Opera House,
and into that the Ordinary, Sheriff,
Clerk and County Judge were hus
tled in short order until their books
and papers piled and stacked up in
utter confusion.
The election on the question of
issuing bonds to build a new court
house and jail is to come off on the
23d, and the indications pointed to
the fact that bonds would likely be
defeated. The jail was obliged to
be built and the court house was
badly needed, so the Commissioners
held a private meeting and decided
upon the plan of making a court
house an absolute necessity, and as
they had the power to do so, they
directed that the court house be im
mediately torn down. The reason of
socresy in the matter was to pre
vent the possibility of an injunction
or restraining order.
Now the people must either vote i
for bonds or submit to a very heavy
direct tax, which they are in a very
poor condition to pay.
There are of course various com
ments on the action of the Commis
sioners, as it is the absorbing topic
of conversation in the county. It is
roundly condemned by some, while
others and the more conservative
element generally think it is best to
submit and go to work earnestly for
bonds.
The election will evidently be
lively and if it was a little farther off
there would be no doubt about its
going for bonds, aud the chances are
good for them as it is.

“In peace prepare for war, in health
for sickness.” This old adage is always
wise and timely, especially so just now.
Summer is on, with its debilitating in
fluences. Nerves are flagging, appetites
failing, enegry and strength yielding,
aven now. Shortly will come decay of
vegetation, when Malaria will “ride on
every passing breeze” and count its
victims in every home. Now is the Line.
Repair the wastes. Restore the vitality.
Fortify the system. Ward off the peril

It seems that there is just as muc!
religious and polilic-d intolerance to
day as there ever was, only it fiwls
different forms of expression than
that of o’her centuries. There ate
men in all churches and in all political
parties who plainly show by their pro
scriptive metho'is that they only lack
the environment to make them partic
ipate in acts of cruelty worthy of the
Spanish Inquisition nr the French
Revolution.—C--.lartown Standsrd.
