Hat tm Ktilllit is.
Atlanta, Nov. 27.— [Special. ]— To¬
day Senator Colquitt add reared the house
of representatives.
From the opening words to the close
the deepest attention was given to the
speaker, and his ringing sentiments
awoke the repeated applause of the
house. Senator Colquitt said:
My object in coming before you to day
is not to deliver an address. My only
purpose is to express in a few words niv
honest and sincere thanks, i should be
devoid of all sensibility and just feeling
if I did not make known lo you how
deeply 1 am affected by tin* testimonial
is you have given me of your esteem and
confidence. You have renewed the
trust wlii' li you put into my hands a
few years ago. It im; o es upon uie new
obligations.
It increases ray devotion to a people
before whom I have walked and whom
1 have loved from my childhood. It
strengthens my purpose, amidst through evil all
days vicissitudes and evil tongues, and whether
of political fortune,
of victory or defeat, to maintain their
rights and defend their honor.
Many of you know that public life is
not free from struggles and irritations,
and that sometimes you will meet with
it rancor and bitterness where you least ex¬
pected. I am pot a stranger to such ex¬
perience. On the other hand, there are
rich rewards and consolations which
cheer and gratify the iieart. and this re¬
ward and this consolation you have given
me in the almost undivided votes, ex¬
pressive of your confidence and ap¬
proval. "That there should be suggestion of
ojtposition is not surprising. 1 have been
no neutral in polities. i have not been
evasive and non-committal. 1 have not
spoken in barren but freely, generalities, independently, nor in
vague terms,
emphatically have I declared my views.
Especially spoken in the in last unmistakable twelve months
have I terms
of that foul and unnatural
monster, whit li. under the name of pro¬
tection, invades every community to
plundar and destroy. We have read of
the Goths and Vandals, and their rava
ges upon the splendid monuments of
Roman genius and the proud trophic of
Homan valor, but these do not buiq ass
in enormity that legislative warfare that
is carried on against our trade, our com¬
merce and our industry.
To lie sure, we do not see the arm of
violence. Our fields are not over-run by
a foreign soldiery: our tow us ore not
consumed by tire: our ships, freighted
with the products of the laborious by hus¬
bandman. are not | hindered Alge¬
rine pirates, but the work of destruction
is not less certrinly accomplished by the
"invisible ministry of the law, " which
goes forth like the genius of famine and
pestilence.
The power has of its monopoly paid is felt its even-
where. it agents, con¬
spirators and its subsidized peers. By
appeal* to the ambitions of some and to
the avarice of otlu rs. it 1ms combined a

it has been whispered democratic in this hail that,

declaration of out state

ocratic majorities of the state. T nm

of Georgia has not been seduced into be¬

s a trimmer or a tailor
abandon the effort to reduce the burden
of taxation because of our defeat. We
will not desert our post because it is dif¬
ficult to hold. We will not fly to the
rear in the presence of danger. Is our
fidelity to a causa lost only so long ns we
can rejoice in its triumph? Are our
convictions so faint and hearties* that
l hey will be abandoned In ■cause of tenr-
1 orary defeat ? For one, I shall not de¬

Of course, this conclusion, of itself,
could not compel the minority to appeal
to the country, as it can avail itself of
the septennial act. but it would probably
deem it judicious to order a general elec¬
tion so that its course might be approved
or condemned. In that event, one of the
greatest electoral contests that ever con¬

to the Louisville Courier-Journal, in
which, after reviewing the whole contro¬

Bohemia to Become a Kingdom.
Vienna. Nov. 27. — [Special.]— The
causc'of home rule has won another vic¬
tory here, it has been decided to rivive
the Kingdom of Bohemia, which lapsed
after the defeat of Frederick, Prince
Palatine, son-in-law of Jamps ! He was
:i king of that state by election, and, in a
wav. light of blood, but was lieaten out
of it by the Emperor Ferdinand, of Ger¬
many, who was an Austrian prince. The
Bohemians, or Czechs, are a branch of
the great Slavonic family, ami for the
most part protestants. They have never
reused demanding home rule since thoy
became subject to the house of Austria.
Count Taafi’s advice has been the pause

Private Secretary.

editorial Written l>> Mr.
Halford — Nolan.
Indiana folio, Nov. 27.—Iqion one
after another of the questions of etre>'u-
tive policy the Indianapolis Journal,
whose editorial writer is President-Fleet
Harrison's private secretary, sounds a
warning and suggestive note.
In the utter silence of Gen. Harrison
upon all those matters there can be no
more Hgniflcant indication of the trend
of his opinions than the editorials Mr.
Halford writes. He lias been Gen. Har-
ri*on’s companion and political ally. In
all his canvass for the governorship, sen-
atorship and presidency, Halford has
b en in.liis eounsels and at his elbow.
The doctrines of Halford upon such sub¬
jects as civil service reform and solid
south are set great store by here, and of¬
fice holders and office seekers read the
utterances in the Journal, “Civii'Ssrvice
Reform and a Clean Sweep," with com¬
placency or discontent, according . to
whether they were in or wanted to be.
“It was,” the ertifcle says, “the doc¬
trine and practice of ‘to the victors be¬
long the spoils,’ which created a necessi¬
ty for civil service reform. The move¬
ment did not come any too soon. And,
if held to its original purpose, it cannot
he too earnestly prosecuted for the wel¬
fare of the country. The fact that it has
been made more or less odious by
hypocritical professions and Peck-
sniftian pretenses is not the fault of the
movement itself. The movement is es¬
sentially light. Civil service reform in
its true sense, that is, in the sense intro¬
ducing an element of stability into the
civil service, and conducting it on a basis
of merit and efficiency rather than
mere in political spoils—civil service and re¬
form this sense has come to stay,
will move forward rather than back¬
ward.
“The lie republican unreasonable clean in sweepers their demands

crats made that mistake four years ago,

After remarking what officer* are

law, the writer concludes: “From

until so late in the session that it was
difficult after that to muster a quorum
in the house. This was the grand oppor¬
tunity of the opponents of the Oklahoma
bill. A small but determined band, led
by Messrs. Hooker, of Mississippi, and
Burnes. of Georgia, pro vented any pro¬
gress whenever Messrs. Springer, Man¬
sur, Warner nnd other friends of the
measure endeavored to press the Mil for¬
ward to a vote. Often they could fully not
even call it up. It is thought that
two thirds, if not throc-fourtlis, of the
members of the house favor the proposi¬
tion to create the new territory of Okla¬
homa. Missouri. , ultnois, Kansas
and ArknnsH.s members are .a

By a previous agreement of the house

of December, but it is extremely doubt¬

danger of Oklahoma losing its place on

Mr. Outhwaite. Ills of Ohio, would like to
call up Pacific railroad bill, but he
will hardly attempt it in view of the de¬
termination on the part of Weaver and
Anderson, of Iowa, as well as tha Ander¬
son of Kansas, and others to lead a fili¬
bustering movement against knocked the meas¬ bill

ready to renew the fight again next
sesaion. * w
If the hill proposing to create a new
cabinet place, to be known as the secre¬
tary of agriculture, is brought up, the
chances are that it will also provoke
big administration fight, ai the change to be made in
the next March has had
a marked effect upon the views of many
of the members who heretofore have
amended supported the measure. The

session before this was done, tiie bill

chairman, has not yet signified what ac¬

through the senate two or three times,

as long as this congre-s lasts.
These are among the most
matters that, are likely to be tackled
the house this winter, outside of
ular appropriation bills. and the
looking to the admission of
Montana. Washington and New Mexico.
It is possible that a separate bill may

Some of the members who liave

much business will be disposed of

Others do not see why this may not

many good results.
