CRAWFORD VlLLE DEMOCRAT Volume 8. WASHINGTON GOSSIP, Correspondence I lemocrat Washington,D.C., April 25,1884.— Hr. Randall and others who are in po¬ sition to know, assert that Congress can get through with all business be¬ fore it and adjourn by the first of July. By that time the Republican nomina¬ tions will have been nearly a month be¬ fore the people, and with the light that the Democratic members and Senators shall have received they will be enabled to go to Chicago and assist the Convention to meet July 8th, in selecting the strongest men in the party and those most likely to defeat the Republican nominees. An average of a dozen speeches are delivered each day on the tariff bill, and it is surprising the number of in¬ quiries that are coming from all parts of the country for information on this subject. It is evident that this is to be the absorbing question of the cam¬ paign, and despite the cheap clap-trap cry of protection to American industry, the industrious Americans are seeking for light and urging a reduction of the present enormous burdens of tariff tax¬ ation, which indirectly are borne by the toiling masses. As an epitome of the spirit of the tariff bill now before the House, we Jo not see how it can be more aptly ex¬ pressed than in the following from the speech of Hon. Nathan B. Eldridge, of Michigan on Tuesday last. He said in summing up : *‘I do not consider this bill as coming up to what the people demand or expect. It makes no pre¬ tentions to the correcting the inequali¬ ties of the present tariff law,but strikes off 20 per cent, indiscriminately, while it puts a few articles on the free-list. But as it affords same relief, I am will¬ ing to vote for it and trust that future legislation will afford the relief which the people so imperatively demand— a tariff system which will equalize taxa¬ tion between the producers of the raw material, the manufacturer, and the consumer, and so as to raise no more revenue than is actually lequired to pay the expenses of an economical adminis¬ tration of the Government.” The sub-committee of the House Committee on Appropriations, compos *-* WUI. Effjg, of Lowfclvw- Hsf* man and Catkins, of Indiana, Hancock, of Texas, and Cannon, of Illinois, Thursday reported favorably to the full committee, upon the bill introduced by Hon. K. John Ellis, of Louisiana, to loan $1,000,000, to the Cotton Centen¬ nial and World’s Exposition to lie held at New Orleans iu December next. It is to be hoped .the full committee will endorse the action of the sub-comniil the and speedily report the measure to Congress. The loan should be made without question as it is in the interest •f one of the great staple industries of the country and willjmaterially aid not onlyfthe exposition, but that section of the Union which at this time needs to be built up. One is surprised here to find that with the soldier element of the country. Representatives from the south and especially those who were in the Con¬ federate Army, are more popular than Representatives from the north, and it is no uncommon thing to hear these men who were broken down in the ser¬ vice of the government say we would ratber have ex-Confederates make our pension laws than northern Represen tatives. It is a fact that the ' “Confed erate House,” as it is termed in deris¬ ion by Republicans has passed more just and liberal laws for the benefit of «x-Union soldiers than has any Repub¬ lican House or Congress. Uuder a sus¬ pension of the rules on Monday last, the pension laws were amended so as to estop the government from demanding of Federal soldiers that they should prove soundness before enlistment, this Confederate House holding that it was the duty of the government to know whether a man was sound at enlist¬ ment ; again they changed the law as to parents, so te to make it only neces¬ sary for them to show dependence or inability to support themselyes to enti¬ tle them to pensions for the loss of their sons. They also amended the law as to evidence as to continued disa¬ bility to authorize the Commissioner of pensions to give the benefit of a doubt always in favor of the soldier. This liberal spirit on the i»art of ex Cod federate soldiers is awakening a responsive spirit on the part of northern ex-soldiers. They see southern men will¬ ing to give liberal pensions to them and to bear the burdens of taxation without a murmur, giving to this object liberal¬ ly, while not one cent from the nation’s treasury is asked or expected by them, and to in a measure show their appre¬ ciation all over the country. Union sol¬ diers are coming forward to aid in build¬ ing a home forex-Confederates at Rich¬ mond, Virginia. Wednesday night last CRAWFORD VILLE, GA.; FRIDAY, MAY 2nd 1884. a meeting to aid this obj ect was held the large parlors of the National Hotel and many prominent Union soldiers spoke earnestly and feelingly in favor of aiding this enterprise. In works of this character, the bitterness of the past will soon be wiped out forever, and like a reunited family, in peace love, fraternity and brotherly kindness, the north and the south will unite as one. As we have before intimated, the quarrels in the Republican*ranks are ir¬ reconcilable, at leant for the present, unless all the prominent candidates now before the country are,thrown overboard aud some new standard bearer selected. A prominent Republican said in our hearing to-day, that “with the nomina¬ tion of either Arthur, Blaine, Logan, or Edmunds defeat is inevitable ; the vilification, abuse, bargainings and trades have disgusted the people.” This is the previleut idea here aud it but reflects the idea of the whole people. Mr. Tilden’s refusal to allow his name to go before the country as a candidate for nomination as President by the Na¬ tional Democratic Convention is honest and sincere. Under no circumstances will he accept the nomination or un¬ dertake the canvass. If it is necessary, a letter from him to this effect will be presented to the New York Democratic State Convention when it assenbles, effectually and finally settling the mat¬ ter. Your correspondent is Warranted in sayipg this upon authority which cannot be questioned. In further corroboration of our view in regard to the action of New York in the approaching campaign we notice that the only public action so far taken bv Democrats has been in endorsement of Roswell P. Flower as New York’s favorite son. S. B. ♦ mm The Speed ef a Flying Duck. Pittsburg Chronicle. It may be interesting to the reader to know the speed at which many ducks fly down wind: Mallard, from 45 to 50 miles an hour. Black duck, from 45 to 50 miles an hour. Pintail, from 50 to 60 miles an hour. WidgeQU, from 65 to 70 miles an hour. Wood duck, from oo |o 60 bout. Gad wall, from 60 to 70 miles an hour. Redhead,from 80 to 90 miles an hour. Blue wingtail, from 80 to 100 miles an hour. Green wingtail, from SO to 100 miles an hour Broadbill, from 85 to 100 miles an hour. Canvas back, from 85 to 120 miles an hour. Wild geese, from 80 to 90 miles an hour. For the above table 1 am indebted to Mr. D. W. Cross, an old duck shooter and a careful student of the habits of water fowl. I have not the slightest hesitancy in believing him right,for the experience of others with whom I have shot ducks, coupled with my own,more than corroborates th e assertions. W ben I have held ahead of a string of blue bills, say at least ten feet, aud killed the fourth or fiffh duck in the string I hav been strongly impressed that the speed they were flying was like the tradition¬ al greased lightning, remembering that the charge of shot that left my gun (No. 4 shot, say) with an initial velocity of 1,800 to 2,000 feet per second. It will be seen that long experience and good judgment is necessary to know where to hold the gun in order to become a good duck shot. HE HAD A JOKE. • Dothsse alligators bite?” inquired a man with hair the color of a gosling, as he poked his nose around the corner of the door. “Not very often," replied the editor. "Are you armed?” asked the light-hair¬ ed man. “No, we never go armed.” “Are you in a pretty good humor?” "First-rate, first-rate,” replied the editor, who smelled a spring poem, and quietly drew the poker up where he could reach It to throw. “Well, now, I just thought I would drop in and see you. I have a little —’’ “Walk right in,” said the editor, wh o wanted to get the man in range. Z The man walked in, as requested. “1 want to give you a joke.” “All right ; what is it?” “It is this : You must first say something about a man who cared for nothing outside of horses." “Yes.” “And then say that to him life was but a span—meaning, you know, a span of hors¬ es, and then—” But the gosling-haired man jumned for the stairway, and left behind him a ripple of fiendish laughter that haunted the build i ng for tfie rest of the day.—Puck. Mrs. S. L. Peterson, Wadley, Ga., says : “Dr. H. L. Battle prescribed Brown’s Iron Bitters for my dyspepsia. Two bottles entirely cured me.” § m j iV J®! 3 . * W5 awff. pjjlp Sua 8^] I i’o-'S’S ►! 8 § ^ % a ht, O | iVsc a i” «i o 3iill.ll 1 G. H.
