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.

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.”
