Connecticut, Rhode Island and New

would be democratic.

arose in the North, and that Now Eng

break up the Union. “Thus it is,’

Tiik people of Mississippi aro begin
ning to find out how tho sulTrage-re
striding clauses of their new constitu
tion will work. AnowspapcrcorrespoO'
dent at .Jackson writes that tho require
ment of the payment of the $2 poll tax
os a pre-requisite for voting will disfran
clilse about 25,000 persons—2,500 of
whom ate whites. The requirement that
the voter shall be able to read any clause
of the constitution or show a clear com
prehension of its' meaning when it lias
been read to him, will bar out about
50,000, of whom not more one-fiftieth,
it is estimated, will ho whites. Tho
total vote will therefore bo 75,000 less
than if every man went to the polls, and
more than 70,000 of the loss will fall on
the negroes. Tho law is practically the
same as that of Massachusetts, whore
the effect, however, is to exclude only a
few persons from the polls, mostly
foreigners. The effect will doubtless be
to stimulate tho desire for education
and especially study of tho constitution
Nobody can dony that this will bo well
for the state. Each year, perhapB, will
see a decrease in the number of illiterate
voters. In tho meantime, white control
of Mississippi seems assured.—Tele

The fact that Governor Hogg did not
appoint Hoger Q. Mills to fill out Kea-
gan's unexpired term is considered in
Washington as rather a black eye fur
that gentleman's senatorial ambition,
but ills friends declare that he did not
want it at this time. They say that lie
would prefer to round out Ills career in
tho house with a term of speaker before
going to tho Senate. A bird in hand is
worth a whole drovo in tho swamp, and
if Mr. Mills could have got the sena
torial appolntmont, he has made a groat
intstake to let the chance slip to got in.
Mills cannot lie speaker ol the house;
and tho nearest ho can come to it, if he
ever gets that near, is to so divido the
Democratic forces os to defeat Judgo
h
will never ho Speaker Mills.
Coi.. J. Thomas Sciiauf, the Mary
land historian, has presented a valuable
collection of Americana to Johns Hop

the gift lies, however, in the abundance
of valuablo materials for a history of the
Southern Confederacy.
Sknatok Kkaoan has resigned to be

Hogg will appoint Horace Chilton, of

Cincinnati makes it a point to have a
handsome exhibition every year. Her
merchants present their patrons of the
Ohio Valley with free tickets to Cincin
nati. Tills is the way the Queen City
holds her place in the West, and her ex
ample might be imitated with profit by
some Georgia cities, who want to ln-

Since Lee and Johnston laid down
their arms ‘n 1805, no memorial day lias
been more generally observed than that
of Sunday-Monday of 1801. All over tho
land the most extensive preparations
were made for speeches and other cere
monies, and it Is safe to say that the
veneration felt by our people for the pa
triotic dead was nevor more strongly
• exhibited than on this twenty-sixth an
niversary of tho death of the Confed
eracy.
The New York Press Is the first of the
leading Republican papers of tbe coun
try to advocate tbe repeal of tho law
which prohibits ax-Confederate veterans
from serving as officers In the United
StaU; army, and it expresses the hope
that tbe repeal will bo made by the
Democratlo house and the Republican
senate of the fifty-second congress when
It meets next December. It is high time
that this law framed in sectional hate
will be swept from the statute books.
The senior class of Cornell selected
Col. Robert Q. IngersoU to deliver the
annual address before the law sohool,
but tbe faculty have vetoed this choioe
and substituted Prof. Charles A. Collin.
Whlla Colonel Bob Is one of the most
brilliant lawyers of tbe day, Cornell was
probably afraid he would work la some
of bis peculiar style of theology with the
same degree of success that he managed
the star route case* some years ago, to
the dls, rust of the people of tbe United
States.
Toe New York Journal of Commeroe
says: The non-denomlnational Colored
Connell of Human Rights, composed
of colored ministers of Pittsburg,

denounce real estate firms especially for
refusing to rent them houses and driv

The Lumpkin Independent, noticing
tbe retirement of Judge Fort from the
Circuit, says:
This is Judgo Fort’s last term of hold
ing court in this county. Who his suc
cessor will bo wo cannot say, but wo
think tho pooplo throughout this judi
cial district would bo well pleased with
Hon. R. F. Watts as judge of the South
western circuit. He Is a learned gentle
man of ability, distinction and And em
inence In the legal profession, and his
fame as a skillful jurist is commensurate
with tho boundaries of the state. He
will have tho hearty endorsement of a
large part of our people.
L. H. Path.i.o, writing in tho Augusta
Chronicle, says: “Y’ou may look out for
squalls in the ranks of the Georgia Alii
ance. The Northen and Livingston fac
tions arc now facing each other, and
heavy artillery is being trained for a de
cisive battle. Nothing can avert a crisis.
Diplomatic manipulation and strategic
manoeuvre may delay it, but a clash is
bound to eome, and the result will leave
a political grave into which will be shov
eled the vanquished foe. From the
mountains to the seaboard there is a
howl for blood, and the war dogs are
chafiDg to be loosed.”
The Chilian war has bocomo tho most
brutal and bloody of modern times, and
is little better than a savage butchery of
helplees men, women and children by
fiends drunk with human blood. It
would seem that the Chilians are a race
of people who are unfit for self govern
ment, as they slaughter the old and the
young with the mad fury of barbarians
upon the very threshold of their magnifi
cent cathedrals. The accounts of the
destruction of life, which the telegraph
brings dslly.are horrible In tbe extreme.
Anna Dickinson created a sensation by
herleoture at the Broadway theatre,
New York, Sunday night, the first since
her release from the asylum. She opened
her address upon “Personal Liberty,”
with a violent attack upon the republi
can party, and with hitter words against
various perrons prominent in public iife.
Her personal allusions were, in many In
stances, repugnant to decency, and
ladies who occupied orchestra chairs
arose, and with their escorts, left tho
theatre.
ECONOMY IN COOKING.
Last week Edward Atkinson, tho
New England economist, delivered two
lectures at Columbia College, New York,
on the art of cooking, and lie illustrated
them with ovens and dinner pails which
ho has invented, and which he believes
will revolutionize the art and will solve
social questions that aro now troubling
tile people, Mr. Atkinson calls his oven
the Aladdin, and it is to solve social
problems by reducing the cost of living.
The average amount spent for food by
people in the United States is 50 cents a
day each. Mr Atkinson says that at
present prieos for food products it is
impossible for a person to cat more than
25 cents wortli of food a day, and that
overy cent that is spent over that
amount is deliberately wasted. He says
tiiat the workingmen- who now spends
8- or *2.50 a week Cor ids food can have
just as Hindi to eat for *1, and can have
more nutritious food at tho same time if
he practices economy in buying and
cooking, while the wealthy man who
spends fabulous amounts for ills food
can cut his expenses down one-liaif, and
can have in substance what lie lias now.
“Nine-tenths at the people in the United
States;’’ says Mr. Atkinson, “spend one-
half their income annually for food, and
exactly one-half of that amount Is
wasted.”

Tiik Republicans of Nyv York are not
happy, because tbe convention of the
Farmers’ Alliance of Ilornellesville, de
veloped the fact that the membership of
tbe organization in New York numbers
not less than 23,000 and that sub al
liances are dally being organized in the
rural districts. The politicians are al
ready alarmed at the growth of the
farmers’ movement, and they candidly
confess that they do not know what
effect it will have in the state election
this fall or the presidential campaign
next year. The Republicans are alarmed
because all the Alliances in New York
are in favor of tariff reform, and the
majority of the farmers there have
heretofore voted with tho Republican
party. If the Farmers’ Alliance is gain
ing anything like the headway in the New
Fngland states that.it is in New York,
the Republican party in tbe presidential
fight is pretty sure to get a repetition of
the dose they had last November.
Tiik speech of Mr. Wolcott, the presi
dent of the Massachusetts Republican
Club, denounces Quay, and charging the
loss of thousands of votes to the fact
that Quay has been permitted to remain
at the head of the National Republican
Committee after it had been shown that
he was a corruptionist, has had the ef
fect of waking Quay up to tho danger
his leadership will invite to his party.
The statement is now made by the New
York Press, that Quay will resign the
chairmanship oif the National Commit
tee. It is quite probable that Col. Clark
son will take tho position, .as he U con
sidered to be tho equal of Quay as a wire
puller and boodle hnndlor, and tho ser
vices of such a man aro absolutely nec
essary to the proper conduct of a Re
publican campaign. The Press says Quay
will retire in November aftei the fall
elections are over.
BARGAIN WEEK!

An kioiit-iveil well, which is being
sunk near Wheeling In a search for oil
or gas, lias readied a depth of 4,100 feet,
Botli oil and gas liavo been struck
throughout in paying quantities. It lias
gone through several thick veins of coal
and has traversed layers of gold quartz,
iron and numerous other minerals.
After the well lias been sunk to tho
lepth of one mile, tho government will
take up the work and, under the direc
tion of two expert officers of the geologi
cal survey, drill into the earth as far as
human skill cnn penetrate. It is the ex
pectation that the tea springs on the
other side will bo tapped, and that
(lowing artesian tea wells will be suc
cessfully operated. By this moans the
McKinley tariff will get another black
eye, if the ten Is of that variety.
The pauper labor which the coal and
iron barons ol Pennsylvania imported
Into that state from Europe, is proving
to bo decidedly expensive. Several com
panies of state troops are required to as
sist In the eviction of the strikers In the
coke region and It Is estimated that it is
costing the state about $2,000 a day to
keep the troops in the field.
Jay Gould says he has been a ball
ever since the November panic. There
Is no better sign of returning prosperity
than such an announcement, if true. It
Is always easier to pull down than to
build up, and the fact that Jay is not
now proposing to pull down, shows that
the country Is at bard pan bottom, and
that any movement must be upward.
