The events of next Tuesday are
awaited with great intercut.

to weep or to yell, next Tueaday.
When a renort ia made to peraonal
luuendoe* and lliug* instead of
square, stand-up argument,
allows the cause tiiat ia being chant
pinned must be very weak.
The rapidity with which the bars,
restaurants and oyster and fish
houses are opened shows that
Amerlciis people must be wined
and dined no matter iiow fast they
come in.
The Bruuswick Times seems to
have a grievance against C'ol. A. K,
Cults and the "Amerlcua papers,
but after religiously reading the
Times for several days Tiik Re
corder is still unable todiacov
what it is.
The county election, which haa
been no quiet, promises to be a very
lively allalr. With the primary and
a circus in full blast, next Friday,
the average Americus man would
be happy were It uot that the bare
must close.
; LITTLE JEALOUSY/*
The Cordele Cordelean haa a very
uulque and crushing style of argu
lueut. lit cause The Recorder
has opposed the bulldlug of the At
Janta «v Florida road from Fort
Valley to Cordele by Americus peo-
pie the Cordeleau thus argues:
"Just so long as the AMElciCt'fl
Recorder tights enterprises that
build up other cities simply be

cue, just so long will this little pa

TROUBLE COMING.
The announcement of thesuspeu
•iou of Baring Bros., or their finan
cial embarrassment, will cause
tightness ot the money market all
over the country. This will more
than ever unsettle Wall street, and
cause a decided depression In prices
lor productions. On top of this
will come the heavy exaotlons
caused by the MoKluley bill.
Ie it any wonder that the farmers
are combining for relief ? Belief of
torn* kind that must have, and
whether it comes by thesub-treasu
ry route or any other, the farmers
will gladly welcome it. It is the
farmers who ultimately have to
pay for the results of thess big fail
ures. Prices on everything else go
up, but cotton is depressed as Is all
other produce growu by the farmer.
The condition is d-cidedly "pan-
icy," to say the least, and though
Mr. Harrison's government seems
to be willing to avert any craeh, It
has uot the brains to find out how.
During the pas', several months
many millions have been distribu
ted from^the treasury to aid Wall
•trset, and now that the money Is
needed more than at any other
time, it Is gone.
Should a financial panic
overtake this country the Republi
can party can be charged with It,
for when Mr. Cleveland turned
over the government to It the coun
try was In prims condition, the
treasury was full, and confidence
had been restored. Now, in but two
abort years, see what the result is.
Tub Recorder hopes that there
Will be no panic, and that the pro-

A NORTHERN MAN'S V1EWSI
What Be Thinks of th# Late Election-
All Hall to the Solid South.
Editor Rkcobdbr:—Encloeed,
find P. O. order to apply on sub
scription. In view of the recent
political cyclone that baa swept
over the country, I feel It Incutn
bent upon me to pay up.
I also send you by this mall
few copies of a local paper, not for
the newh they contain, but that
you may have some idea of how
Democrats in this section feel over
the result.
I think I hinted in a former let
ter that something of the kind
might be looked for, but great
heavens! I never anticipated such
a scoop! The contemplation of it
takes one’s breath away, and we
t-au hardly yet realize the full
scope of the victory. Why, we
have hardly ueeded any food for
the last week. Wheu we get hun
gry we have only to sit down aud
read the latest returns to satisfy
the appetite, and it makes no dif
ference whether we read a Demo
cratic paper or a half-breed, both
are equally satisfying.
One of the amusing features in
the latter is the raauy ways by
which they try to account for it,
but, either purposely or through
the bliudest ignorance, none o
them have given the true explana
tion
There has been inaugurated what
formed the subject of one of Henry
Ward Beecher's lectures. The
reign of the Common People. They
seem to have realized at last that
the Republican party is the most
stupendous fraud of this or any
other age. While making a pre
tense of intense piety and virtue,
most of its leaders are, and have
been for years,the most unmitigated
set of scouudrels that ever weut uu-
hung.
There Is always more or less of
bitterness mixed with all earthly
joys, aud in the preseut case it is
the return to Congress of Read and
Lodge, although foul-mouth*!
Cannon lias been fired, aud robber
McKinley left out lu the cold. But
there Is abundant cause for rejoic
ing, therefore let uk rejoice. All
hail to the solid Houth and their
honest coiaborers of the North! If
they will but remain solid, and
avoid local dissensions, uu i unite
us iu battling agaiust the
common enemy, it will not be long
until an era of good government
aud national prosperity is inaugu
rated. Yours very truly.

rout the X. Y. Mirror.
After seeing all the modern melo
dramas, native and imported, ]
come back to the old "Phivnlx”
with a sense of relief. It is Incom
parably the bust of the lot. There
Is something ludescribably “catch
ing" lu the play and the chief play-
Year after year 1 find myself
laughing at the quaint, curious com
icalities of the contributor to the
"Chambermaid’s Own," wildly ap
plauding the incomparable lire
scene, or holding my breath durlug
the painful stillness of the gam
bling scene, and stamping vocifer
ous approval of ita well-known cli
max. In looking at the play last
night for about tbs twentieth time,
tried to analyse It, to discover the
secret of longevity and vitality,
had nearly given It up when tbs so
lution presented itself. Nobles is a
genius. It must bo so. Here is s
play with nothing, save the story
writing Incident, to relieve It o|
commonplace sensationalism, and
yet for years It has been steadily
growing In popular favor, although
advertised by the most legitimate
and conservative methods, until to
day it Is recognised as one of the
surest drawing cards on the road.
It Is the man, not the play. I
doubt if there lean actor living who
could get the meat out of that story-
wrltlug scene except Nobles himself
It Is thoroughly his owu. The tnau
is a genius, aud while on the etage
pulls the play up to his own level.
That’s the secret of the perennial
popularity of the "Pbutulx,” sod I
don't care who kuows It.

to the Social Side of Ameneus.
Weddings were once so scarce
that the announcement ot the
marriage of one of our social lead
ers caused a wave of excitement
and auticlpation to pour over the
usually placid sea of society. But
now, what is more of au every day
occurrence than brilliaut and hap
py nuptials, in which our best fam
ilies furnish the high contracting
parties?
It does look as if there is
to these affairs, for those who were
not married last week or the
before, will go through the ordeal
this week or next. Or if not this
Madam Rumor, in waut of
better authority, places it in a few
more. Every single lady aud
geutlemau of marriageable age in
the city, now rests uuder a cloud
of suspicion. If you haven’t the
remotest idea of taking so seriou
step It makes no difference, for
judging by the past, the ouly t-afe
guide in such instances, you can
not be trusted.
Ho don't you imagine you will
surprise auybody when cards are
Issued, for everybody Is expecting
It.
However, In the far, dim and
distant future by the great strain of
the imagination au end may be in
distinctly viewed.
Anti-marriage clubs are.beginning
to be formed by our fair ones, and
If they can’t stop it, who can?
Four of the most lovely and popu
lar young ladies, whom Americus
is proud to call daughters, have al
ready given out that they have or
ganized such a club, aud this Is
bound to prevent lour would-be
matohes.
Iiut who knows? These same
four lovely creatures may be
the very eve of departure from sin
gle blessedness, and ouly adopt the
above as a subterfuge to accom
plisli au almost impossibility to
irprlse the |*opIe.

The few that attended the laugh
lug farce “Larking"—and how few
they were to be sure—on Monday
night enjoyed the play hugely.
First the pluck of the company In
playing to so dlscoureglngly small
an audience was greatly admired
and be it said that although a sharp
lookout was kept up by several who
had seeu the play before, not one
"cut” was fouud.
But the Jollification, with
torchlight procession, bad worked
like madness on the brain of the
manager and be found plenty of

vent to the feeling, anything
cool, he felt toward tbit ejuno pro

the burial of hla hopes both polit

worse than the original:

Had Llsxle Evans heard of the
panlo that had atruok Americus?
And to escape having it any hard
er, she had the deed done In At
lanta, and In making her debut
here added to her popularity by
coming aa a bride.
She wanted to feel at home, you
know.
The matinee was greatly enjoy,
ed by all present. And well It
might be, for ’twaa nearer the old
time play, with a plot to back It,
than any of the foregoing enter

With a hearty good will did Miss

chosen and there was not a stick

Of course Harry Wills, who Is
deoldedly youthful looking,claimed

The same may be said of "Fogg’i

audience,wellfsprlnkled with ladles,
as delighted.
A hearty welcome will always
await Lizzie Kvaus and her com
pany should they visit our city in
the future.
Mr. W. L. Mardre, accompanied
