rifFin Daily News ) Jill ME 17 Griffin, Ga. Griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro gressive town in Georgia. This is no Ifjper- bolieal description, ns the record of the last live years will show. During that time it has built and put into most successful operation a §100,000 cotton ac.tory and is now building another with nearly twice the capital. It has put up a a.ge iron andbraB3 foundry, a fertilizer fac- ory, an immense ice and bottling works, a sash and blind factory, a broom factory opened np the finest granite quarry in the United States and has many other enter¬ prises in '.ontemplation. It has secured another. ailroad ninety miles long, and while ocatcu on the greatest system in the South, the Central, has secured connection with its important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia aud Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬ pendent connection with Chattanooga and the West, and has the President of a fourth railroad residing here and working to its ultimate completion. With its five white and three colored churches, it is now building a $10,000 new Presbyterian church. It has increased its population by nearly one-fifth. It has at- | acled n-ouud its borders fruit growers from nearly every State in the Union, until it is now surrounded on nearly every side by or¬ chards an : vineyards. It is the home of the grape an l its wine making capacity lias doubled every year. It has successfully inaugurated a system of public schools, with a seven years curriculum, second to none. This is part of the record of a half decade aud simply shows the progress of an already admirable city, with the natural advantages of having the finest climate, summer and «inter, in the world. Grillin is the county seat of Spalding county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with a healthy, fertile and r. Ming country, 1150 feet above sea level. By the census of 1800, it will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and 7, (X) people, and they are all of the right • jrt—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to welcome strangers and anxious to secure de¬ sirable settlers, who will not be any loss wel¬ come if they bring money to help build up the town. There is about only one thing we need badly just now, aud that is a big hotel. AVe have several small ones, but their accom¬ modations are entirely too limited for our Lu,incss, pleasure and health seeking guests.

The Stab is the only New York newspaper possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬ tional Administration and the United Dem¬ ocracy of New York, the political battle ground of the Republic. Jeffersonian Democracy, pure and simple, is good enough for the Star. Single hand¬ ed among tlio metropolitan press, it has stood by the men called by the great Democ¬ racy to redeem the government from twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness and corruption and despotism to the South. For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬ er Cleveland. It is for him now—forClevc- land and Thurman—for four years more of Democratic honesty in onr national affairs, and of continued national tranqnility and prosperity. For people who iike that sort of Democracy the SiAiiis the paper to read. The Stab stands squarely on the National Democratic platform. It believes that any tribute exacted from the people in excess of the demands of a government economically administered is essentially oppressive and dishoYiest. The scheme fostered and cham¬ pioned by the Republican part-of making the government a miser, wringing millions an nually from the people and locking them up in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬ strous crime against the right of American citizenship. Republican political jugglers may call it ‘-protective taxationthe Stab’s name for it is robbery. Through and through the Star is a great newspaper. Its tone is l urc aud wholesome, its news service unexceptionable. Each issue presents nil epitome of what is best worth knowing of the world’s history of yesterday. Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur- cque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬ ing they are. The Sunday Star is as good as the best class magazine, and prints about the same amount of matter. Besides the day’s news it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto ries, snatches of current literature, reviews, art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬ mor sparkles in its columns; Will Carleton’s delightful letters are of its choice offerings. Many of the best known men and women in literature and art are represented in its col nm ns, The Weekly Star is a large paper giving the cream of the news thewirld over, with special features which vnaice it the most complete family newspaper published. The farmer, the mechanic, the business man too much occupied to read a daily paper, will get more for Jiis dollar invested in The Weekly Stab than from any other paper It will be especially alert during the cam paign, and will print the freshest and most reliable political news.

UBIQUITOUS MR. REED, OF MAINE. [KNOCKED OUT. The Senate Passes the Sundry Civi Appropriation Bill After Quietly Tabling Mr. Call's Amend¬ ment. Washington, Aug. 3.—There was a lively little row in the House this afternoon between two of the Republican leaders, Butterwortb, of Ohio, and- Reed, of Maine. Since Monday the army bill has been und<,i consideration, and two very nice questions have come up. The Sen¬ ate, as has been previously stated in these dispatches, amended the House bill by adding the Hawley amend¬ ment, appropriately $0,000,000 for the manufacture of guns for coast detense. Some of the members of the House hold that the Senate had no right to put on such an amendment. Another fruitful source of discussion has been the subject of jurisdiction. The appropriation committee has re¬ ported a fortification bill, and the military committee contends that the appropriations committee has been poaching on its preserves. The friends and opponents of the scheme to pro¬ vide for big guns availed themselves of the question of jurisdiction to talk the matter to death. Both Houses have always been very jealous of their prerogatives, and have resisted any attempt of the other to infringe upon them. It is an old question, and comes up every session. Mr. Reed is in favor of big gnns, and Mr. Butterworth, a member of the committee on appropriations, stands by the Senate amendment. Mr. But* terworth made a speech this after¬ noon in favor of non-concurring in the amendment, and Reed attempted to interrupt him. Butterwortb would not stand the interruption, and kept right on. Reed tried to interrupt several more times. Finally Batter, worth told him that he ought to ex¬ ercise some of that politeness about which he was always talking. Reed opened his mouth as if to reply. Butterworth shook his bead and said: “The gentleman ought to remember the old quotation that ‘fools rush in where angels fear to tread.’ ” Every¬ body expected Reed to make one bis characteristic replies, but he did not. He has been jumped on re¬ peatedly by Democrats, but this was the first time that a Republican had performed the operation for him. The result was that he was 'completely knocked out. Public Meeting. Pursuant to a call quite a number of our business men meet at the brick warehouse yesterday morning. The meeting was organized by elect ing S. T). Dean chairman and R, A. Hardee secretary. After stating the o! ject of the meeting, M. L. Bates moved that the chairman appoint a committee of fivo to get up exhibits and to solicit sub scriptions to defray expenses of illus trated pamphlet- The chairman ap pointed Messrs. Glessner, Swateli, Cunningham, Burr and Nicholds. The committee were requested to begin work at once. S. H. Deane, Chairman. R. A. Hakdee; Secretary.

Wm. L. Brc< zee Sues W. K. Vanderbilt For a Cool Million; New York, Aug. 3.— It w as rum ored on Wall s’.reet yesterday that Wm. L.

B, Hollins, ol Wall street fame, wiil be remem¬ bered, has instituted proceedings against his antagonist on that occa¬ sion. W. K. Vanderbilt’s name was mentioned as one of the persons in¬ terested, but it is not believed that he has anything to do with this par¬ ticular phase of the case. It was asserted, however, that Mr. Breezee has brought a suit in the Supreme Court against W. K, Vanderbilt for damages amounting to over $1,000, 000, growing out of an alleged bit ioh o; contract on the part of Mr. Vender biit in Lake Shore transactions. The lawyers retained in the case are said to be Joseph 11. Choate and F. II. Smith for the complainant, and Howland and Anderson for the do fendants.

MATOIt HEWITT OBJECTS* I He Vetoes a Isolation Providing for the Payment of Money Spent for Glores to Attend a Funeral, New Tons, Aug. 3.—When Lieut. Gov. Dorshoitner died, the aldermen adopted resolutions of re gret and decided to attend the fan eral in a body. They did attend, and recently resolved to pay a bill of $90 for gloyoa and $50 fir carriages used on the occasion. M or Hewitt yesterday vetoed \' ■ solution, eulogizing the dead - . man and saying he could find no justification for incurring such an expense, as Mr. Dorsheimer, at the time of his death, was not a public official, but a pri vato citizen and therefore not occu¬ pying a different position from that of any other person likely to die in this community. “It was quite proper,” said the mayor, “for the common council to pass resolutions of respect, and there was certainly no reason why its members should’not attend the funeral in a body, as the mayor did., without any expense to the city. There was no occasion for any car¬ riages, nor is it believed that the nse of kid gloves on such an occasion added in any way to the solemnity of the event, Even if the lamented dead had been a member of the city government, I doubt whether such expenditures could be justified*. But under tbe circumstances I feel that I have do choico but to return the res¬ olution for the reconsideration of your honorable body,” The Cottonseed Oil Trust# New Yoiik, Aug. 3. — The Ameri can Cottonseed Oil Trust held its an nual meeting today with President J.
