Mice of that noble character should
uaiismute the life and character of
every American boy .and- man in this
and all future times.
Mr. Gorman made another proposition
that there should be a night session on
Tuesduy for the .ron.shleralion of hills
on the calendar not objected to—each
senator to have au opportunity to call
up one bill. It was also ac -eddd to.
Hie Senate then proceeded with the
.-ousideration of the Indian Appropria-
[ion bill, and the remaimtec of the nay's
session yvau taken, up almost exclusive!}
with the comridei'-atiou of that .bill. When
fite Senat adjourned at 5:35 (he appro-

if lie could pre-vent it; match less -would

With lmsin. ss matters in this very
unsatisfactory- position, ami notwith-
.standing a warning from Mr. ('.ill; in.

HOUSE.
The House of Representative* ob¬
served Washington's birthday by meet¬
ing an hour earlier than usual. At hi
o'clock, when (Ahaplain Ba0by invoked
Divine blessing, there were about a
score uf nnunbers present. I.nt this at¬
tendance was rapidly increased, and
v.ihii- business was being considered
under request for u 11 nmmous consent
probably 100 were in their seats on the
fioo-r.
The Senate concurrent resolution c.v-
nre'ssing tlie gratification of (’ 'threes a:

Committee of AYliole.
The House in Ootmimittee of Whole,

Extended Debates.
I here Were two n*i,utters -which gave
rise to extended debate. The first was
the paragraph .providing $140,000 to lie
paid by the Attorney General for ex-
preii»t*s in enforcing the orders of United
States Courts for tlie protection of
property in the hands of receivers during
the railroad strikes of hist summer.
This was antagonized by AIusers. Liv¬
ingston and Boatner, and criticised by
Mr. Breckinridge, in charge of the lull,
and advocated by Messrs. Cannon (Rep.)
of Illinois; Ilendt toon (Rep.), of Iowa,
and Sayers
Au amendment was agreed lo. on-
motion of Air. Bolter (Rep.)'' of Iowa,
Hampshire, dirt . Lug ‘he Attorney Gen-
erai to report i-n detail to Cong ress the
documents under the appropriation, and
under that form the item .remuri-ned in
the bill.
The other -mistier was a proposition to

AMONG GEORGIA EDITORS.
Albany Herald: We do not agree with
Mr. Turner In his support ot the financial
policy of the Cleveland administration,
Yet we know him to be an able man and
a conscientious man, whose personal
character is above reproach. \V have
not, for these reasons, felt either lnclin-
ed or in duty bound to criticise him for
his seeming tendency toward goldbugg- ry
as some of our respected contemporaries
who know less about him than we do,
have seen fit to do.
Macon Telegraph: The Telegraph is
informed by a gentleman wno says he
bad information from Superintendent
Boauprco himself that he will be general
sup rintendent of the Savannah, Florida
and AVestern Railroad at a near date.
Just when Mr. Beaupree will assume
charge of his duties is not Known, but
th- gentleman mentioned says he thinks
it is certain that as soon as Mr. Heau-
r«ree winds up h.s affairs with the South-
«rn 11 • w.ll go to the Savannah, Florida
and Western and have full control over
that line and all its interests. Mr. B:au-
Pree is an experienced railroad man, and
his services are valuable yvherev r he
may go.
Albany Herald: Some one, The Atlanta
Constitution, we believe, recently refer-
red to Tom Reed as pr paring to strad-
die the silver question. We wouldn't be
at all surprised to see the whole Ripub-
lican party, with tli • exception of the
Eastern Mugwumps and Goldbugs, trying
to do more than that in 1SW. Knowing
how popular the demand for the free
coinage of silver is yv.th the masses of
the people, and se.ing how tlie Uemo-
crats, through “party p, rlidy,” as Mr.
Cleviland would say, have failed to take
,advantage of Its opportunities on that
Une . '■ >; would not be surprised to s e the
Republicans put a silver plank in their
nex t National platform,
Savannah News: The Boston Journal
of Commerce points out lo those among
the New England cotton mill men yvho
thought tho Southern oulto.ii mill men
were novices in the business, and possl-
bly lacked “business sense,” that they
were greatly mistaken. In the busm ss
depression that not long ago almost
paralyzed trade, during yvhich many of
the large and long-established nulls Ir
New England had to curtail their pro¬
duction largely, and some of them to
stop entirely, the manufacturer? in the
South, with very few exceptions, operated
their mills on full time and had little
trouble in disposing of th -ir products.
The Journal thinks the Southern mill
men are entitled to great credit lor thdr
sagacity and success, and it cheerfully
accords it to them.
t'avington Star: Our opinion has been
fhat a repeal of the 10 per cent, tax on
S>oi - bank issues, and the passage of the
Dlv r bill, would have been all that was
necessary to give a sufficiency of money
to relieve the present, congested monetary
stringency-. We also believe that the gov-
emine nt s obligations which are made
payable in gold coin should at least one-
half be paid in gold and the other in sil¬
ver at the option of the Government. The
making of silver a legal tender for all
dues, both public and private, would al¬
ways keep it on a parity with gold; so
there would be no trouble on that score.
'Jon-
gross could not have given us this much
in tho way of financial legislation, as we
are sure if they had, It would have work¬
ed well for the country, and the people
would have been satisfied. Their failure
to do this has been the cause, not only
of all tho dissatisfaction among the peo¬
ple, but of great loss and much suffer¬
ing throughout the country.
CURRENT COMMENT.
San Francisco Chronicle: Grover
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle are dig¬
ging the grave of the D-mocratie party.
Hartford Times: It seems to us that
public Interest was never more flagrantly
disregarded than at the present time, in
both branches of Congress.
Boston Traveler: A free pass to any¬
thing seems to be a greater temptation
to most men—even rich men—than were
Mephlstopheles’s glass beads to Mar-gucr-
Itc.
Now York Evening Telegram: The
combination of Reed and Platt makes a
fine tom-tom, and it can be used for the
•purpose of drumming all the Republican
rascals into line in 1896.
Boston Traveler: Cleary—except for the
Intervention of something which nobody
now foresees—the party which will carry
the country in 1896 will be a party with
well-defined, clean-cut, pract.cat Uieoriea
of money. No party divid-od, as are both
the leading parties now, can hope for
success.
Washington Corrsepondenee Chicago
World: Fifteen ex-govermn nt clerks
who have lost their posit.oils during the
last few months, principally in the Tr as-
ury Department, called at the office of
the compartment of public grounds yes-
terday and applied for a job of shoveling
snow off the sidewalks at $1 a day.
Philadelphia Enquirer: Cuba is report-
ed to be once more thrilling with a de-
siro for fre dam. Her thrills are, how-
ever, so fine-spun and attenuated that
the world finds it difficult to sympathize
with her. It is when a Cuban has a pros¬
poet of a long rest before him that he
thrills to the full capacity of his nature,
K ,.. A . York World: The assignment Just
n .. l( j a py- one D f the larg at sugar-plant-
,.jq ijouislana is ascribed to his “tail-
,,, receive bounty.” 1 m that case his
,.-i ,i,rnei.-t is the best thing possible
undf r tli ■ circumstances. There is no
morn in this country for any business
w-hich cannot live except as a parasite on
the public Treasury.
Philadelphia Press; 'Train robbery is
t.ho subject of considerable proposed log-
isiation at Washington and various
State capitals; but the real remedy for
this crime is not more Jaw but stricter
rural police. Train robbing will go on
steadily increasing, just as brigandage
did in foreign countries, until the States
organize a strong rural police,
New York Advertiser: The whipping
post belongs to the age of the rack and
thumbscrew, the pillbry and the ducking
stool. No one has any sympathy with the
wife beaters. A more contemptible class
of scoundrels does not exist. But we
should not let our .etestation of wife
beating blind us to the demands of civll-
izaiion. The doctrine, of an eve for an
. „,,d a tooth for a too:!, i- no- the
do-trine ol<i of enligntened humanity That
tenet was Imsed upon a love of cruel-
ty an much as a des.ro. for justice. Tho
Empir- State should not disgrace Itself
by reviving this barbarous doctrine in
the form of the whipphig po«t.

Atlanta, On.. Feb. 22.-—(Special.)-
The Board of County Commissioners
held a meeting Unity that fairly bustled
v.ilii sensations.
Or. .1. W. Nelnie and Air. C. AA'.
J'lunnleult, members of the old board
of c 'jnmissiou'eivs. some of whose acts
nave been prun iiiuecd illegal and
smacking of fraud by tile pres.lit bait'd,
were present and by courtery of the
new commissioners were permitted to
give vent to their feelings in const*-
(silence of the relieftions east upon their
Qliieial conduct.
Dr. Nelms, after reviewing the acts
r th funnel' board of yvliidi lie yeas
;i iii.]ii\T ami justiiying iIn* ae.es wh.ch
t'le present LoarJ lnus seen lit to
sligtnaiizc. dc-','hared that lie was as
U.mest and patriotic a.s any menu!..... ot
he board or anybody else, and if :aiy
cue cared to dispute tlie fact lie yvotild
la pleased to ui'cl him on the outside
to settle it..
Then Mi'. Huuni.'iit yvho was chair-
.
iii-iii of the old board, (old the ne.v cum
mDsioners thatas long as he was chair-
man tlie credit of the county was good,
•;,nl if lie had been retained it wtudd be
gucj yet, bin as It was the county
(wouldn't boruw a thousand dollars more
without paying' exhorhitnnt interest l'oi
it. and couldn’l get $25,000 to save it
from tlie denmition bow-wows.
Ail sorts of questions as lo the iegall-
i: of :i i ; f the boa i'd in
working couvlcls. improving roads,
el*:-,, yrc Hsked , nnd for a
!;n)e il looked as if the board was
about lo declare the county in a state
of chaos, but finally il was thought best
Vi-:it to begin lifting the lid of past trim
suctions but rather to try to kee>
c-ai-gUt in the future.
f n. this collection the board declared
th • purchase contract made by the old
./'tjtd J price for paid an $18,000 for the piece land of was land not void, only
q i
avjktit six timers its value, but the sale
the board held was illegal.
The report baa been current that Com-
uiis'sioner THioniipson, one of the hold¬
over members of -tlie board was inter-
ec.ed in the trade, althoush lie -has
publicly denied the report in tlie most
emphatic manner, but to set things all
atraight l'or tlie future Mr. Thompson
ntroduced a resolution directing the
-ounty attorney to investigate not only
all Olio land purchases by the county,
but also 1he working of convicts on
private property.
The hoard, however, was not ready
for such a prying' into the mysteries of
county convicts just at this juncture and
let the resolution go on the- table.
If the county commissioners go in o
the investigation business they ni.iy
art some lively finds if there is any
foundation in fact for all the “cursing”
diey have received from time to time.
The State I'nililing
There is every probtbiity that Georgia
will have a handsome State huild'ng at
tiie Cotton States International Exposi¬
tion .
Governor Atkinson, acting for the
State Board of Commissioners, yester¬
day sent a. proposition to the Ex-posl-
Mon Company looking to tlie erection
of a suitable building. This proposition
was referred to :he executive committee
>f the Exposition Company, and the
G 'vei'nor will pro-balb'y receive the an¬
swer lo it by tomorow.
It Is understood from members of tlie
r> position Company’s board today that
die proposition submitted by the Gov-
mor will be accepted by the company
on! the .State building will then be an
augured thing.

The CoiumHtec of Southern Em¬

By Southern Associated 1’rcds.
Washington, Feb, 10—The committee
of employes of the Southern Railway
Company, v Melt lias been in session in
Washington for nearly a week, has been
unable to come to an agreement with
the representatives of the Railway Com¬
pany. Tile company, through its third
vice president, Mr. Baldwin, made <s
very full and frank statement of the
affairs of the company and showed why
it was not ad visa bit *hat In re ahvuld
be a, general increase ’n wages ns de¬
manded by the employes. S lice receiv¬
ing tile ptatement, the employes' accwl-on, eoinnict-
