He has gained wonderfully in the last ten days.—Augusta Chronicle. Gov. Northex will attend the teach ers' convention, to be held at Brunswick April :10. He and State School Commis sioner Bradwell will both deliver ad dresses to the teachnra. If Mr. Blaine or Mr. Depew had gone along with the president, and made aome little speeches about reciprocity, the presidential tour might have been followed by great results. Mai-vehn Him., located about twelve miles below Richmond, the scene of one of the most famous battles during the late war, has just been sold to William H. Halo, of Now York city. Monday's metropolitan papers con tain a column of baseball news concern ing Sunday games played in all the lead ing northern and western cities. And jet this is supposed to he a Christian -country. It is astonishing to observe what -world of gratification the Republicans derive, or pretend to derive, from the solitary free-trade feature of the Mc Kinley bill, namely, the removal of the duty from raw sugar. Doctor Tai.madok, of Brooklyn, lias astonished the uatives by cutting off his -well known side wlilskors. Monday's Hew York Herald gives It as a most " .sensational piece of news under quad ruple headlines. His resembience to Henry Clay Is now said to be complete In all respects. The New York papers claim that the problem of street sweeping about which such a bowl has been going up, lias been practically settled by the ladies, who are sweeping the street, with the long skirts of this season's dresses. Thus these ar ticle. of feminine drapery are useful as well as ornamental. Amoxu other foolish measures that failed of enactment in the Minnesota legislature was one to compel every ar ticle la every paper published in that •tate to be signed by the writer. A more nonsensical idea was never before shaped into a bill. The names of tlie writer, ot every article that now appear «an be had whenever legal or personal redress Ja demanded of the publisher. , It is said that prominent Alliance ^leader.lV'Kansai are paving the way for the retuni of the Alliance to the Repub lican fold. They say that they will go Into n third party movement If the al- ltancemen of the south will go with them, but that they will not lead a third party movement merely to elect a Dem ocratic president. If they have to choose between the existing parties, they will go to the Republicans. Majoii J. F. Hanho.x, one of the brainiest and most progressive men of Georgia must feel awfully lonesome as the only protectionist in Georgia. He can probably come nearer making the wone|nppoar the better reason than any man who will apeak at the banquet of- the protective tariff league in New York next week. It la n pity that so able a man and so eloquent and forcible speak er should be wasting his energies fight ing agalnt the inevitable. If there la any one thing upon which the large ma jority of the American people la deter mined, it la tariff reform, aa near an ap proach to free trade as can be accom plished, with the necessary expenses of an economically administered govern ment to be provided for ont of the Im posts. Tariff reform is the watchword now, and any man who opposes the cur rent Is fighting against hopeless odds. The Minnesota legislature has ad journed, and one of Its last sots was to dofeat by a decisive vote the bill to com pel the pretty chorus girls to wear long dresses on the stage. No insignificant piece of legislation has caused such an uproar and produced more comment as tills “antl-tlgbts" bill, and Its death knell was really sounded last week when a dramatic company In St. l’aul bur lesqued the bill In the presence of the whole legislature, by having nil the bal let girls appear In bloomers, and the legs of the chairs and pianos also mod estly draped to avoid shocking the deli cate sensibilities of the legislative prudes. So great was the ridicule heap ed upon the bill that it waa laughed to death like nil attempts at reformation by legislative enactment will be, when not backed up by a healthy pablle sen timent which demands the law. It is safe to say that as long as '‘the human *orm divine” sees fit to display Us lines of feminine beauty and grace upon the stage in stockinet, just so long will any attempt to legislate against It be a waste of time. Ths present age is swinging to the opposite extreme from the ascetlsm and Puritanism of tho former nsera tton, and until the poodnlnm of time •tarts bcek again nothing can . atop It* progress. ’.•ft*’ t/j,A THE ALLIANCE AND POLITICS. It Is to be feared that the predictions may too soon be realized concerning the trouble in the ranks of the Farmers' Al liance on the question of politics. While the southern alilancemcn real ize that the social and moral salvation of tills section depends upon the absolute solidity of the white people in one party, under whatever name it may go, the different conditions in the West do not emphasize this necessity so strongly; and tiie farmers feel disposed to cut loose from both parties and form a third party to carry out Alliance principles. Trained from childhood to hate the name of Democracy, and feeling a thor ough disgust for tlie present manage ment of the Republican party, they see no alternative hut to go outside the party lines as now- organized, to seek for relief that they think cannot be ob tained otherwise. Hence, while Southern leaders like Col. Livingston announce their purpose to make their tight inside tlie lines of tho Democratic party, which the Alli ance really controls so far as it desires, the drift of the Western alliancemen is decidedly towards tlie organization of third party, and unlcsa they can induce Southern Democratic alliancomen to endanger tlie safety of Southern state governments and social institutions by a desertion of tlie principles of Democ racy it looka like a split in the ranks of tlie Alliance is brewing. Such an event would lie deploi able, and some strong and active work by Southern alliance- men witii their Western brethren is nec essary to prevont such a disaster as sucli a split would bring about. Levi Dumbauld, chairman of the Farmers' Alliance state central commit tee, lias issued an address to the people in reply to that recently issued by Frank McGrath,president of the state Farmers’ Alliance, who claimed that unless the farmers of the south deserted the Dem ocratic party the farmers of the north would go to the Republican party. Mr. Dumbauld denied Mr. McGrath's state ment and nilds; “Tlie people's party in Kansas is iu tlie field to stay and has no intention, under any circumstances, of abandoning tlie third party moveinont and returning to the old party line. It is solidly in favor of tlie overthrow of both of the old parties without any ifs and buts, and its delegates will go to the Cincinnati convention of May 10 for the purpose of assisting to organize the third party national campaign of 1802, ready to clasp hands with all who will join that movement for the anticipation of the laboring classes. Hesitate or halt, who may, the people's movement must go marching on to the final victo ry. Lot none lose faith or falter. For ward en masse over all opposition.” IIAICKISON AND I MCI. President Harrison’s tour in the South will bare an effect in 1802 That .effect will be in Mr. Harrison’s favor, so far as the Republican nomination is concerned. If the tour was undertaken witii a po litical end in view the schomo was wise one; otherwise it was a lucky stroke. Mr. Harrison Is in the South as the President of the Union; Is welcomed such; is listened to with that degree of respect tbat|is duo to the chief magis trate of tlie nation. Party politic* are ignored to a very large extent—certainly to the extent that both Democrat* and Republican* unite in paying honor to the man at the present time foremoat in the nation, and listen respectfully to wbat he has to say. Pecsonallty is frequently a potent fac tor In politics. Whatever of potency there may be In Mr. Harrison's person ality appears to be in process of devel opment In hta present tour. While he may not be winning votes fpr his party in the South he la bringing himself into cloeer relationship with the rank and file of bta own party In that section. There la no question In the minds of the well-informed that.lt was the design of President Harrison and his party- managers to “fix” the southern states for the nominating convention In 1802. The president recognizes the superiority of Blaine, and Is taking advantage of the prestige of his position to lay hi* wires so nicely now, as to give him the advant age when the convention meets. Whatever advantage Blaine may have, If any at all, In the nominating conven tion must be the result of the sheer pre ponderance -of brains and statesman ship. If he cannot come in like a cyclone and dash away the fabric now being erected to corral the southern del egatei, he will stand no chance against the little man now in the white house. LET THE RAILROAD* ALONE. There was a time, and that not so very long ago, when Iowa waa the banner ag ricultural state of this country. It had no debt, Its farmers were all well-to do, common schools flourished, its mer chants prospered, manufactures had been introduced and were rapidly in creasing. First-class settlers from the East preferred it to any other Western state and willingly paid high prices for improved farms. Butin an evil hour the farmers conceived the notion that they were being oppressed by the rail roads, tha* tho latter wore not dealing fairly by them, and so they agitated the subject until they secured a legislature that assumed that railroads had no rights, but that as common carriers de riving their charters from the people, they must bo controlled by laws enacted by the people's representatives. Then came tho passage of what are commonly termed tho “granger laws,” and Iowa farmers rejoiced at tlicir victory, while in many other states their policy was advocated until it was formulated into the too popular phrase, “a railroad com pany is a monopoly." Then followed a demand that the general government should acquire all tlie railroads and be come their managers. Tills absurd proposition has numerous supportors in all parts of the country. Before tho country acceeds to tilts de mand it would be but wise to ascertain what effects her anti-railroad legislation has had upon Iowa. Some of these are recited in a recent issue of tho Railway Register, which says: “First, railway construction in the state dwindled, and finally stopped alto gether. Then some local lines, with no traffic from outside the Commonwealth to offset Internal losses, had to be aban doned. The courts were appealed to for the purpose of compelling the companies to continue operations, but the outcome was the dismantling of the lines. Along with tills enme the discharge of thous ands of railway employes, because the gross caruliigs of tho companies were not sufficient to pay their wages and meet bonded obligations. The quality of the service depreciated, aud tho num ber of trains was curtailed on account of necessary economies. Tlie farm ers of Iona have been complain ing that with ;!,000 railroad mon unemployed their home market lias suffered. But now an ad ded wall is going up because manufac turing establishments are closing up business, and le.ving tho state with their operatives. They are going be cause they can no longer receive the transportation facilities which are so essential to their prosperity. Every one of the foregoing statements Is true. Tho increase of population from immigration has been checked, lands bavo decreased in value, the local market for farm products has been ma terially lessened, established manufac torles aro seeking other locations, and new ones are seldom started. All this is the result of hostile railway legislation. If such has been the result in that great and at one time wonderfully prosperous state, Is it wise for southern states that need much more railway mileage than is now at their command to follow Iowa's example.—The Manufacturers' Kecord.

Georgia will loon receive a snug little eum of money that will be refunded to her from the direct tax collected by the federal government shortly after the war. The question Is asked, what will she do with it t As It comes from a source outside of taxes, Its disposition need not be con- sldered by the state constitution. Why not, then, devote it to paying the expenses of a grand exhibit at the World* Fair and to the organization of an Immigration bureau ? It could be de voted to no purpose that would result In more general good to the people of the state, and we believe there Is no disposi tion that could be made of it that would meet with more universal approval.
