-K. Woolson’s
ets o( the lly-
t published in
rraibcrsof tbe
Century, is said to treat of tbe life
of rn American girl abroad, but in
the author’s own original way, and
not at all as any other writer lias
pictured her. The other charac
ters of tbe story arc, tbe heroine’s
mother, “Mrs. Spurr,” and an art-
critic who is supposed to have
lived for many years in Rome,
where the scene of the story is
laid.

Crops in Southern Georgia.

Onr information from all parts of
Southern Georgia represents the
crops a* In a most favorble condi
tion. It Is generally believed that
tbo cotton area has been largely
decreased and that of ccrn and
other provison crops propyrtlon- j
ately increased. In many sectioiteqfcxAA.'#
the prospect is reported as very j
line, and in a Tew localities better - !
tban ever before. Tbe oat crop,'
now rapidly advancing to maturi
ty, suffered for rain in somo sec-
tions during tbe early spring, but l
the recent rains seem to have been
general and a fine crop is now ex- i
pectcd. The truck farms along the J
Savannah, Florida and Western !
Railroad and its branches are also
reported iu a prosperous condition.
In a few instances planting was too
early without adequate protection,
especially of melons, but generally
the prospect is good, while in

Hon. S. S. Cox oultiiies the true
policy for the democrats in regard
to the tariff, when lie says: “We
have been led into a snare and
made to take a false position before
the country. This will not lie al
lowed to happen again. We slmll
array ourselves as a party in favor
of not only revenue reform, but
also a reduction of the revenue to
tho lowest point consistent with
the raising of a sum sufficient to
pay the expenses of tho govern
ment, with perhaps afairallowance
fora moderate extinction o'the
debt. Our surplus for the year
from our system of taxation, after
paying uii tho enormous expenses
of the government, will be some
thing like $150,000,000. Now, there
are two evils arising from such an
accumulation; one is the enormous
overtaxation, the other the tre-

It would lie interesting to know
by what process of reasoning tho
majority of llie committee to audit
tlio expenses of President Gar
field’s illness and death arrive at
the conclusion that all the physi

ed that any of „hem. except per

could have earned one-half or one-
fourtb of the amount asked to be

and intolerable extravagance to

That the grangers are still alive
in the west Is shown by their
ownership of ninety public halls in

$800 to $3,000. These aro used for

It ia strange to hear that in the
unanimous Republican State of
Yeimout tbe artisans in a factory
object to the introduction of a
colored man; yet such Is the fact.
And Republican Vermont is much
tailoring men that the position of
the ultra-prolrcliimixlx, which is
practically the republican position,
is one which simply liendlls the
capitalists, white under revenue re
form both capital anil labor are
fairly and equitably treated. Now
those democrats who do not pro
pose to stand with tho party on
tills matter may go where they can
find congenial company, ami wc
shall not ho bullied or bamboozled
by protectionists who call them
selves democrats. We have had
enough of this sort of thing, and
next time it will be an earnest,
surprised that in oilier Stales the ! courageous, ami offensive tight on
workingmen object to the inlmditc- jour part."
Senator Bayard lias contributed
