Congressman I1iie< kenriikie, of Ar
kansas, says that Grover Cleveland will
be the nominee of the Democratic party
for president next year.
The afternoon papers are coming to
the front Tlio Macon Kveniug News

press by the iirst of June.
Eihtob Sam Whitmire, of the Uruns-
wick Times, announcea his retirement
on May 1st; hut says that aftera month's
vacation ho will again enter southern
Journalism.
The Now York Herald stales that there
is “a revival in Wall street.” This seems
to Indicate tiiat there lias been a recent
influx into New York of green horns
with pockets full of money. Such ciiaps
arc always wclcomo on Wall street.
Ma.i. J. F, Hanson lias been invited
by the K. 8. Jones Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic to deliver the
memorial address in May next at the
decoration of the federal soldiers' graves
at Andenonville, and haa accepted.
The opinion scorns to be growing that
Mr. Blaine will bo in the ring for tlio
presidential nomination. He is espec
ially anxious that Cleveland should bo
the democratic nominee in ordor to try
conclusions with him once more.
Who will now have the temerity to
say that China is not a highly enlighten
ed country? The latest proof of this
fact la her Indignation at the appoint
ment of that mouthsomc crank, Henry
W. Blair, aa United States minister to
her court.
Senator Keaoan, of Texas, lias re
signed, and Governor Hogg haa appoint
ed Mr. Horace Chilton, who is not yet
thirty-five years old, to succeed him.
Mr. Mills declares that he Is not disap
pointed, that he would rather ho Speak
er than Senator. Poor Mr. Mills I A
man by the name of Crisp will bo Speak
er.—Trlbunc-of-Bomo.
Texas pays the chairman of her rail
road commission *<1,000 a year, and its
other members $.->,000 each. Hero is a
good example for Georgia, whore rail
road commissions receive only $2,500,
It la poor economy to tlx small salaries
for important public ollices. “The la
borer la worthy of hia hire,'' and braina
command less premium in Georgia than
any other place in Christendom.
Gnot'NIi has at last been broken for
the long talked of monument in New
Tork to General Grant. The opening of
the twentieth century will possibly wit
ness the unveiling of It In the mean
time, the movement to erect a monu
ment to Jefferson Davla must not be al
lowed to lag. Action was taken on the
recent meeting of the Southern Pros* As
sociation In Memphis, and it will be fol
lowed up rigorously.—Enquirer.
It Is now evident that the coming seal
ing season will pass without a settlement
of the Behring sea controversy. fho
Sayward case in tho Supreme Court was
postponed till the October term, and
hence a decision in it can hardly be ren
dered before next winter. The diplo
matic controversy Is in a fair way of bo-
ing submitted to arbitration, but it will
bo some time before a decision is reach
ed. Meanwhile, there is not likely to bo
any leisure of sealers by our revenuo
steamers.
THAT 11EFICIT.
Wlillc republican orators in Cincin
nati were exulting in the glories of the
republican party, the republican secre
tary of the treasury at Washington was
puzzling ills brains over the deileit that
tile republican congress had made. It
is not a surhrlse that Mr. Foster docs
not know were to find the money to pay
for tlie $5:1,000,000 of 4» per cent, bonds
that fall due in September. When bil
lion dollar congresses meet they make a
rlean sweep of the funds and those who
come after must look out for them
selves. It was a foregone conclusion
that Mr. Foster would experience great
trouble In making both ends of the treas
ury meet. Within tile last twelvemonths,
his predecessor, Mr. Windom, was twico
called upon to relieve a stringent money
market by means of bond purchases, and
a third request for aid was made, but
the resources were exhausted, and it
was not forthcoming. Mr. Foster took
cliargo of empty money boxes. The bil
lion dollar congress made appropriations
for everything except tho payment of
file government's honest debts. Of
course, the bond matter will he attended
to in Homo manner. When tho devil
drives there is no alternative, hut such
incidents are decidedly unpleasant, and
the public was unused to them, until it
got a billion dollar congress.—Courier-
Journal.
The I.ouisiana supremo court was
badly divided on the lottery case. The
decision reached by the majority may be
good law, but will bo generally regretted
throughout the country. The effect of
the decision, however, Is only to give the
pooplo of Louisiana an opportunity to
vote on tho proposition to continue the
lottery, and there is a chance that they
may reject it. The chance ia but small,
it must be admitted. The offer of tho
company to pay the state more than
$1,000,000 a year for the privilege and
the largo influence which it lias over the
proas, and public men of tlie state will
make it extremely difficult for an oppo
sition based merely on moral objections
to defeat its purposes. This is much to
be regretted. It would be much bettor
if this national scandal could be sup
pressed by the act of tlie people of
Louisiana rather than by act of congress.
Tlicro is grave doubt whether tlie power
rests in congress of preventing tlio cir
culation of lottery advertisements
through the mails, and oven if that were
beyond question, the use of tlio power
may sot a precedent that will lead to had
results.—Telegraph.
Negroes now serve on juries in many
of the southern states, and in Georgia
they have done so for fifteen yoars. It
ia a noticeable fact that when colored
men are on trial they beg far white
juries, or at least for a mixed panel. A
prosperous lawyer in Atlanta whose
namo la Lyons, is a colored man who
earned his living by teaching a mulatto
girl, the ward of a rich white women,
while he was a student He ia frequent
ly associated with whits lawyers In ths
conduct of causes.—New York Sun.
Iowa democrats are making a clamo
rous demand for Cleveland that nothing
but a promising prospect of Cleveland
will satisfy. They will not hear of Hill
on any conditions. With no little force
tjiey say that Cleveland will unite many
elements of the democratic party all
over the country that Hill’s candidacy
would only serve to alienate. They are
Very apt to be gratified by the next nom
inating convention. They are not tho
onlydi mocratx in tho country who de
maud (Teve'and, by a largo majority.
The prospect* of Crisp are much bet-
lei than t'loto of any other candidate.
He is conducting ids canvass quietly and
wit* excellent judgement. Tlie attacks
which the friends of other candidates
make bum time to time on his record he
meets fairly ai d squarely, and thus far
they have dose him no harm. Indeed,
there are rcaaoi s lot thinking that they
have done him good, because they have
given him a chance to cxplainsomc things
which, if unexplained until the last mo
ment, might be used to 'his disadvan
tage.—'’<<! Hi WS.
Receiver W. B. Scares, of the Ma
con Construction Company anil tbo rail
roads connected therewith, lias return
ed to Macon from New York, wliero lio
lias been sumo time on official business.
Receiver Sparks scorned in better spirits
than when last in Macon. It Is reported
in Macon very generally that the con
tractors will resume work on tlio Macon
and Atlantic and Macon aw^ Birming
ham roads at a near day, and that these
lines will be pushed through to rapid
completion, it is said that Receiver
Sparks can pull the Macon Construction
Company and the Georgia Southern
road aafoly out of ths mire, if tho peo
ple of Maeon will only rally to the aid
of the Macon and Atlantic and the Ma
con and Birmingham roads and do (heir
part in help floating the bonds of these
roads. The Macon construction people
are in much better epirits than they
were a short time since.
The report of the committee of the
Florida legislature ou the alleged brib
ery will, it ia said, make some sensation
at disclosures, and Senator Call’s friends
nro.hopeful of Btampedlng eight or ten
votes from the opposition to him ns a
result. The report is not expected to
be presented before Wednesday night.
Great indignation is felt all over the
state at tlie prolongation of the dead
lock and delay in legislation. Every joint
ballot by tlie legislature (one is taken at
noon every day by a scattered vote
per agreement) costa tlie state $200.
the deadlock is kept up until the ond of
tbo session tlie expense of tlio taxpayers
will bo nearly $15,000.
Gatherer around the dinner table
last Saturday at the residence of Dr. A.
R. Royal, In Abbeville, woro four of tho
oldest men of Wilcox county, whose ag

Micajt Owens, age lGz years; Judge
Stephen Bowen, ago 85 years; Nathaniel
Statbam, age 07 years; Major A. A. F.

purely accidental. The children, grand

Mrs. Martin is free. Tlie jury stayed
out lei s than a half hour,and when tlulr
verdict was rendered pandemonium
broke loose in the way of demonstra
tions of applause. The court could not
restrain tho multitude, and after sho
left the courthouse, the people poured
hundreds of silver dollars into the liands
of her lawyer.
She will remain in Birmingham and
endeavor to got work.
The A go-Herald says:
The verdict was not only wlmr the millions
of people who have been watching thl* trlul
expected; It was .l-owliat th.y wanted In
deed, no verdict ever rendered hy a Jury of
American freemen was more In accord with
the sentiment of the gr> at 11 bile, who
watched and waited and coped.
Two days after the futai »ho' was IIred the
defendant's statement was given to the peo
ple. It was a simple, pitiful, woeful story,
and on lls Internal evidences of mull, the
greatest of ad juries, public sentiment, reach
ed lls verdict. That sentiment hits never
wavered. It grew stronger ns etelt vftnesa
took tl.e a tauh. It gn'lic-ed force with evtry
Word that rnrne Irani the court r tan and fell
upon the ear of listening thousands. When
hcrown story was 1.11 that story of wrongs
that bankrupts all Action ever written—the
etger wl-lt forh-r prompt acquittal became
a fever tvnloli serrat everywhere und look
hold on the blood ofal! tn-n anil all women.
The growing Indifference to tlio riglit
to voto is a strange, and in some respects
a happy development in the south. It is
oxptaincd that at first they not only re
garded the ballot as a toy, lint they were
urged to vote by carpothaggers and
demagogues who aimed to control and
fatten on their votes. These persons
first promised overy darky a mule and
forty acres if he voted, and next every
colored man was told he would get of
fice. At the same time the black leaders
of tho blacks insisted that the race could
got social supremacy If they voted.
None of these consummations has taken
place, and the privilege haa lost its at
tractiveness. The most mischief is said
to be workod by the colored women,
who impel tlie men to flock to the towns,
and who dream incessantly that they
can manage to livo without work, as
they see white women doing.—New York
Sun.

Ami yet Editor Tumor holds up Ids
city, where tlie business men so occupy
their time, as tlio metropolis of south
west Georgia. “Go to tho ant thou
sluggard; consider her ways and become
wise!” No such time killing occupations
characterize America*: our people are
all too busy selling goods, building
houses, railroads, etc., to imitate the ex
ample of their neighbors of the artesian
city.
This people of Helena, Ark., will on
May 10, unveil a monument to Gen.
Tat Cleburne of Confederate fame, than
whom no soldier over more deservt^l to
be commemorated in stone. He was
one of those gallant Irish-Americans,
who have become famous in the history
of the country, and fell leading that fa
tal charge on the Federal breastworks
at Franklin, Tenn.,where Hood sacrificed
him and thousands of other brave South
ern soldiers in that unwise and alto
gether unnecessary battle.
Ex-Sexator Ixualls declares that
the New Orleans tragedy does not in
volve an international issue, and that
the Italian government has been both
petulant and undignified in raising one.
Thousands of Americans think the same
thing, and it would not be surprising if
the courts and juries came finally to that
conclusion.
