Editor and Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Americus, Ga. Americus, Ga., April 24, 1891. 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*.

An Italian editor in New York wnnia Count Itudini to call a congress of tho European powers to join in a demand that the United States shall remodel its constitution so as to alford protection to foreign subjects living in this country.
