Joe Milhatton*, the famous liar, U
insane in Chicago.
Tiie railroad depot at Perry was con
sumed by fire Tuesday night.
A fierce newspaper war is now raging
between tbe Carnesville Register and the
Carnesville Tribune, and between the
Tribune-of-Rome and the Atlanta Jour
nal.
It hah been publicly announced that
Editor W. M. Kersli, of the Fort Valley
Enterprise, will be married on the 2tlth
of May to Miss Lizzie Snead, daughter
of Col Claibourn Snead, of Augusta.
The most noteworthy comment of the
politicians of both parties in Washing
ton on the president’s speech to the peo
ple of the south, is that he will not again
advocate the proposition of a force bill.
Mr. T. C. DeLeon, of Mobile, with
bis accustomed energy is urging a “pine
palace” to illustrate the timber resources
of toe south at the Chicago exposition.
Such a palace can be made a veritable
thing of beauty.
In view of the death of Barrett and
the retirement of Booth, it lias been sug
gested that the recent brilliant success
of Scott Thornton in Richelieu in Atlan
ta marks him as the successor of these
eminent tragedians.
Ex-SrxAToit Blair say that the mis
take of his life has been too much talk.
Isn v tit rather strange that the venerable
perpetual motion statesman has just
now made a discovery known to every
body else in the United States years ago?
Mr. E. Inokrsoll Ware, who now
occupies the editorial chair of the bright
and newsy Athens Evening Ledger, is
one of the youngest managiug editois in
the state. IBs work, though, shows
that he is enterprising and thoroughly
capable.
Since General Fremont’s death a doc
umont has been found that entitles his
heirs to an island in San Francisco bay
worth $10,000,000. While the old gener
al was fixing up documents covering
ten million dollar islands, why didn't he
include San Francisco, or eveu New
York?
The dearth of news among the news
papers is fully illustrated by the fact
that when Doctor Talmadge cuts oft his
aide whiskers, leading metropolitan jour
nals write it up in elaborate style. In
fact it appears to be more of a sensation
than the revolution of a South American
republic.
Somebody put up a joke on the Daw
son, Ga., military company by tending
them a telegram over Governor Nor-
then’s signature, tolllug them to hold
themselves in readiness to keep out of
the way of King Humbert’s fleet of Ital
ian ironclads that would be menacing
the coast of Georgia in a few days.
The methods prevalent in the late
lamented American congress seem to
have become so contagious across the
water that even the venerable and
smooth tempered Gladstone lost his
temper and called an opponent, Mr. Rus
sel, a liar. Are American politics des
tined to set the type for the world to
follow?
When a rotten orange struck Scott
Thornton the other night while playing
Richelieu in Atlanta, the audience
quoted Shakespeare on him, and said in
the language of Hamlet: “A hit, a pal-
pible hitl” Scott, however, understood
this quotation as alluding to the render
ing of the play by himself and not to the
presence of oranges and other vegetables.
The great pow-wow of the Republican
league at Cincinnati had not been in ses
sion moro than an hour when the fact was
established that Secretary Blaine is to
day the most popular man in the Repub
lican party, and that ho will bo olTored
the presidential nomination in 1892, and
beseechcd to accept it on the ground
that his strong personality is required to
lead the party to victory.
Speaker Reed has had a number of
imitators, but the speaker of the Con
necticut house stands at the head of the
clasff, and could give even Mr. Reed
few pointers on how to run things. He
counted the bats in the cloak room to
make a quorum. All that is now neces
sary to constitute a Connecticut Repub
lican house of representatives!# a speak
er and an assorted lot of lists. Heads
or brains are not at all needed.—Jack
sonville Times-Union.
The St, Louis Republic, the great
daily of the west, some time
since started a voting contest to name
the tiro most popular clergymen in St.
Lonia, agreeing to send them on an ex
tended trip through Europe. The Globe-
Democrat, the Republican paper,institu-
.ted a similar scheme to name the two
most * popular bar-keepers in that city,
promising to send them over the same
route. This circumstance shows the
moral tendencies of the two parties in
hat city.
OUR INCONSISTENT PRESIDENT.
When President Harrison passed
through Memphis, the mayor who wel
comed him alluded to the determination
of the people to maintain Anglo-Saxon
supremacy In the South. The president
saw the point and dodged it. He stated
in his reply that he recognized the em-
barassments in particular cases, but in
sisted that the government could not ex
ist without “a profound respect for the
will of the majority expressed by the
voters.” This remark has occasioned
more criticism than anything the presi
dent has uttered since he left Washing
ton. The reply shows a narrow and
perverted conception of our government.
If there is one thing which the constitu
tion of the United States did not estab
lish. it was a government of mere ma
jorities.
In providing for the election of pres
ident, the electoral system was adopted
in order to overcome the rule of sheer
majority. In establishing the senate
of the United States the power
of the majority was overruled
and cacli state was given equal repre
sentation regardless of numbers. The j
rigiit to abridge and regulate suffrage
was left with each state, in ordqr to in
sure a harmonious and homogeneous
constituency. This government is not
now and never has been built upon the
rule of majorities.
But if President Harrison accepts this
theory why does he not act upon it ?
When the national election came off
last November a Democratic congress of
143 members in majority was returned.
The Democratic majority was over 1,000,-
000. In the face of this decisive and
overwhelming verdict, why did President
Harrison continue to insist upon tlio pro
visions of the McKinley bill and the
force bill ? The president’s annual mes
sage, just one month after the election,
urged the passage of these pernicious
measures in spite of the fact that they
had been repudiated by an overwhelm
ing majority of the people.
The truth Is, the southern people have
preserved a republican form of govern
ment in spite of the presence and pre
ponderance of an ignorant class, unfitted
by training or tradition to exercise the
suffrage. They have maintained their
local governments pure, have kept their
own houses in order. Tills may not be
strictly according to President Harri
son’s theory that masses shall prevail,
instead of virtue and intelligence, but it
has been the salvation of home rule in
the south.
UNRESTRICTED IMMIGRATION.
The Republicans of the northwest
have to draw it very mild to keep from
hurting the feelings of the sensitive
bummers, anarchists and murderers who
exercise the rights of American citizens
In that section of the Republic. The
Republican league club in session in
Cincinnati among other questions, dis
cussed unrestricted immigration, and the
following was a paragraph, worthy of
special note, in the resolutions intro
duced:
* Recent event* have made more appar
ent than ever the necessity for evercl-ing
the sovereign right Inherent In our nation,
aa in ail other*.to use discrimination in the
admission »»f foreigners as residents in this
country. We, therefore, recommend such
changes In our laws ** will effectually pro-
h'blt the Immigration of pauper* end crim
inals. and of people so alien from us in their
ideas and baolts of thought that they can
not !>e rssImIMted In the body politic.”
A foreign born delegate objected to
this language, because,as be said, while
the meaning of the words might be all
right, they would be distorted by the
enemy with telling effect on the foreign
born Republican vote of the northwest.
They had had experience and wanted no
more. The debate grew hot. The Mafia
denounced. One delegate asked
where the line could be drawn to define
who was not fit to assimilate with the
body politic. Another retorted that in
New Orleans the lino was drawn on the
lamp post. Finally it was nr*ved to
strike out .all after the word “criminals 1
and this was done, and the resolutions
adopted.

The friends of Mr. Cleveland say that
he has borne with great patience the at
tacks made upon him by Editor Dana of
the Now York Sun, but that pationco
has ceased to be a virtue, and conse
quently the ex-president doe. not now
low an opportunity to hit back with all
the vigor he posseases. It has been ob
served that In nearly ail of hie late
apeeche. ho haa something to tay about
the traitors akulklng in the Democratic
camp, and this haa come to be accopted
as a reference to the editor of the Sun
whose Democracy to say the least la de
cidedly erratic, and whoso support of
Ben Butler in 1884 cauied him to lose all
the influence he might have possessed
in the council, of the party. Mr. Cleve
land ia a very strong and positive man,
and it is safe to say that if he gets fully
aroused he will apur Dana in a way that
will cause him to regrot having attacked
the ox-president.
It has been a puzzling question for
sometime as to how the Allianco of the
we.t aud south can sufficiently reconcile
their conflicting interests upon economl
cal political questions to onablo the or
ganizations nf thn two sections to agroe
upon a party platform. It looks impos
sible for them to do it. Now significant
muttering, are alroady heard, and the
ailiancemen of the west are threatening
to go back to the Republican party if
southern ailiancemen refuse to join them
in the new party movement, nnd this
they can never do, because the princi
ples of the Democracy are nearer in
touch with their desires and their per
sonal benefit.—Montgomery Advertiser.
The deadly two-thirds rule has got in
its work in Florida, and Senator Call is
just a few voles below high water mark,
though he got a clear majority in the
caucus. It is doubtful whother he can
ever gain enough votes to bo elected,
and the plum may go to a dark horse.
Ed. Hammond, formerly of Atlanta, and
a brother of Judge W. K. Hammond, is
favorably mentioned for the position.
At tiik Republican ieaguo convention
in session in Cincinnati, Ex-governor J.
It. Foraker made a decided sensation by
exalting Secretary Blaine at the expense
of Mr. Harrison. The response was
spontaneous and overwhelming. Blaine
was ranked with Lincoln nnd Crant,
and given all the credit for whatever
auccess the Harrison administration has
attained. It is no wonder the few friends
of Harrison in the convention were much
disgruntlod, nor is it any wonder that
the friends of Foraker and Blaine at
tempted to smoothe mattors over by
trying to create the impression that the
orator did not intond to refer to Blaino
its the rulingspiritof tlio administration.
The fact should not ho lost sight of,
however, that tlio clamorous approval af
Foraker's remarks by the convention is
even more significant than the tumarks
themselves, and it is tills fact that is
likely to give Mr. Harrison food for so-
rious reflection. The convention ad
dressed by Forakor <s a thoroughly rep
resentative body of Republicans, nnd the
enthusiastic attitude of these men to
wards Blaine shows that he is still the
real leader of the party. Mr. Harrison
may hold down his secretary of state,
but he cannot control Blaine's friends.
Is 1880 the census showed the lumber,
shingles and other forest products of
the Southern States to be valued at
840,077,000, while in 1800 the value for
the samo product* has swollen to 8102,-
122,000, three hundred per cent. In-
create. Southern pine landa during the
same period have increased from about
81.25 to prlcee ranging from 85 to 810
per acre. It le predicted that the in
crease will be greater In the next de-
cado, and that no better Investment can
be found than southern pine land*.

vestments in this section are safe and
