President Hahkibox is lingering on
the Pacific coast, and seems to enjoy the
hospitalities of tl e brethren.
Corn at one dollar and ten cents per
bushel beats cotton at six cents per
pound. The logical conclusion is more
com .and less cotton.
The city council of Atlanta has passed
an ordinance prohibiting the obstruction
the sidewalks with merchandise, for
all who visit the date City will
turn thanks.
Some people object to both silver and
gold, but the average citizen is not so
particular as to quality. It is quantity
that ho wants, and if Uncle Sam will
turn out a few more dollars it would be
acceptable oven on brown paper.
Some of the press gang who wont to
Havana last spring can give the needed
information in regard to the bones of
Christopher Columbus. Larry Gantt
saw them and recognized the ancient
navigator who discovered America 400
years ago.
Baron Hikscu the millionaire Jewish
philanthropist says he purposed to spend
all his wealth In colonizing the persecu
ted Russian Jews in South America. He
is quoted as saying: “After all, what is
the use of money unless you do some
good with it?”
The Melon Growers’ association met
in convention Wednesday at the. court
house in Albany. The attendance was
the fullest ever remembered, indicating
the largest acreage over planted, and
the liveliest interest ever manifested in
plans for the distribution of the growing
crop.
THE WOMAN’S NtKSS <■ LUH.
The Woman’s Press Club of Georgia
is composed of the women journalists in
the state, and is one of the most inter
esting clubs in the south. Last April
the club was organized at the Kimball
House, with Mrs. Ella Ryington, of the
Columbus Ledger, as president; Mrs.
Lollie Belle Wylie, editor of Society, as
vice-president: and Miss Minnie Quinn,
secretary and treasurer.
The first regular meeting was held in
Columbus last May, at which time the
cinb was elegantly entertained by the
citizen* of that town. Sow, that they
are coming to Atlanta, the people here
should give the ladies of the club every
attention consistent with true southern
hospitality.
Governor Xortlien will give a recep
tion to the club at the executive man
sion. and the occasion will be a pleasant
one. Governor* Northen has expressed a
great Interest in the work of the Wom
an’s Press Club, and will do all in his
power to further its success and inter
ests. Mrs. B. F. Abbott will give an in
formal reception to the club, to which
the literary people of Atlanta will be in
vited.
Dr. U. B. Ridley will entertain the
club at the Piedmont Driving Club, and
there will be other entertainments given
in their honor. The club numbers about
eighteen members and is in a nourishing
condition. In Juno the club will go to
New York, at which time they will be
entertained by Sorosis and Woman’s
Press Club, of New York.—Atlanta
Journal.
Mrs. Byington, the President,
a former Ainericus lady, and
is well known among the older
citizens as the daughter of the late Col
Chas. T. Goode, one of the most prom
inent lawyers who ever lived in Amer
icas. Mrs. Byington has inherited the
talent of her father, and is making much
reputation in journalism.
LABORERS' DAY.
All over the civilized world to-day, in
Europe and America, the laboring men
will have a monster demonstration,
such as has never l>een seen before, to
protest against the condition of working
people generally, and endeavor to devise
some ways and means by which their
condition will be ameliorated. Many i
cities are afraid of the result, because j
many idlers and hoodlums will partici
pate and endeavor to make a row, and ;
the fear that the worse element may con-1
trol, leads the police force to prepare for !
the wont.

One strange feature of such demon
strations is that the working classes will
meet and resolve and re-resolve about
what ought to be done, and yet, while
they have the numerical strength to do
as they please, they never act in concert
for their common good.
The reason seems to he that they are
never properly organised or led, else
such legislation (if legislation is really
the remedy) might 1 >ng since have been
enacted as to have given the working peo-
pto the rights which they hold arc now-

The results of these monster mass

The Uirniingham Age-IIurald liaa jiiat
discovered that tho credit ayetem does
not pay, and with tho announcement
that the price is reduced from ten to
eight dollars proposes to cut off all who
are in arrears. If all newspapers would
adopt the cash system there would ho
more wealthy editors.
President McKee, on behalf of the
committee appointed to memorialize
the fate committee of the southernrali-
way and steamship association, at its
recent meeting In Tampa, reported that,
through the efforts of the southorn rail
roads, the old melon rates would he

THEY A LI, IIO IT.
On yesterday The Tihes-Recordkh
had occasion to quote from tho Albany
Xews an item to tho effect that whit
tling, playing drafts, etc., had become
the absorbing occupation of Albany's
prominent business men, while Aineri
cus merchants were up to their eyes in
work and had no time for foolislincss.
Now it seems that to-day, having not
tho fear of tho censure of tho press be
fore their eyes, and to prevent Amcricus
from having nny grounds for crowing
over her neighbor, several prominent
gcntlomon, to-wit: two bank cashiers
and a director of the Americas Invest
ment Company spent tho afternoon in a
game of marbles on tho sidewalk In
front of the library.
The Timks-Kecohdfu hereby apolo
gises to Editor Turner tor Its previous
ness and now admits that there area
few gentlemen of elegant leisure even in
this thriving, busy metropolis.
Stephen U. Elkins is authority for
the statement made to a representative
of the Pews Press that James G. Blaine
would shortly announce his decision not
under any circumstances to allow his
name to he used at tho Dost republican
convention us a candidate for president.
It is said that Mr. Blaine's letter or an
nouncement will he so positive as,to ad
mit of but one construction, and that is
that lie will never again bo a candidate
for -the presidency. Hon. Smith M.
Weed says that when the time came Mr.
Blaine would bo found positively de
clining a nomination. Also W. J. Arkell
says that Mr. Blaine is about to como
out witli a most positive refusal to allow
his name to he used again in connection
witli tho presidency.
The ministers of Atlanta are divided
upon the question as to whether it is
light to hold memorial services on Sun
day. At a recent meeting of the minis
ters association a member introduced n
resolution condemning tho Sunday me
morial service, and ltov. Ur. I,co is quo
ted ns opposing them rather forcibly, so
so that tiie meeting was adjourned
much so that tiie meeting was adjourned
to prevent further discussion, and tiie
question is not yet settled. Sunday
seems a lit day for such services, as it is
close akin to religion, to love and honor
our fallen heyoes.
Ik Congressman Mills could have got
ten the appointment to succeed Senator
Kengan, and held aloof for tho purpose
of capturing the speakership, lie ii likely
to bo disappointed, and a defeat in the
house will almost surely result in u dc
.feat in Texas, when tho sohnu eject
successor to Mr. Chilton, who was re
cently appointed by Gov. Hogg.
The monthly statement of the (fen
tral railroad for March allows a gross In
crease in ita earning of over $80,000 over
last March, and a net increase of over
$41,000. The Increase, including that
from the investments, is over $70,000.
For the nine months to date, the net In
crease of earnings passses $123,000, with
a total decrease of income of $70,000.
A host distressing disaster occurred
at Troy, Ala., Wednesday evoning.
Twenty or thirty of the young ladles of
the town were rehearsing at the opera
house for an amateur performance, whon
the roof fell and the building was do
mollabed. Two young ladles were in
stantly killed, and several more seri
ously wounded. It la a miracle that any
escaped alive.
Toe Ninth National bank, New York,
has been robbed of over $400,000 by its
late president, John T. Itlll, whose re
cent death resulted in investigations
which have led to the disclosure that he
had been stealing the bank's money tor
years. The bank examiner and the clear
ing house committee have examined the
bank's assets and report that the insti
tution la still solvent, owing tojta hold
ings of valuable real estate.
A BEBoic young Russian pasted through
Atlanta the other day on his way to his
native land. Russia has a ■ law which
foroes all young men when they become
of age to serve in the army, and if they
cannot be found their fathers are lined
and Imprisoned, This young man baa
been in the United States slnoe 1882, but
is now on his way home to relieve his
old father from fine and imprisonment,
by serving his time In the army.
Secretary Blaine is quoted as say
ing that nothing will be done by the ad
ministration about China's rejection of
Blair unless President Harrison directs
some action to bp taken. The Japanese
mission la vacant and Blair may be giv
en this aa a consolation. Possibly Dcn-
byiuyaow be allowed to remain as
minister to China. The secretary of the
Chinese legation says of him: “Gan.
Denby Is the most popular American
who haa represented this government at
any court since the lste Hr. Burlin
game.
Coni i ii ess man Bankard was in town
yesterday, and to a representative of
(lie Agc-IIeraid he was pleasantly com-
municativo. He is always that way.
It he haa got anything to say he doesn't
hesitate to speak out, and that sort of n
man is loved of nowspaper men and un
derstood of - and loved by the people.
The congressman was asked what ho
thought of tho speakership fight, and If
he had any inside Informormation which
lie would be willing to Impart. “I don't
know thnt I have any information not
possessed by the general public,” ho
said. “The fight is between Mills and
Crisp, with chances In favor of the
Georgian. 1 believe that Crisp will bo
elected, but until that event transpires
we are going to linve a lively tight.
The opposition to Ciisp is being led by
the St. Louis. Republic, which Is fight
ing him ostensibly on the grounds that
he Is a conscript in tariff reform. The
Tepnblic says that Crisp was In a meas
ure forced to be in favor of reforming
the tariff and points out that on that
great question he has never
taken a leading position in the house.
“The claim that the Georgia congress
man was conscripted Into tho ranks of
the reformers is not only untrue, but it
It gravely unjust. There is not a more
honest or earnest tariff reformer in con
gress. It is quite true that he hasn’t
taken the lead on that question, but that
has been more of an accident than other
wise. It certainly wasn't design. Mr.
Crisp has never had a place on the ways
and means committee, of which Mills
has been chairman, and he therefore has
had no opportunity for leading In the
struggle for tariff reform. He couldn’t
have done ao, tried he ever so earnestly.
He could'nt have got the floor; bat even
If ho could it would have been an un
usual and undignilled step for him to
have taken. It scorns to mo that the
friends of Mills are hard put to it when
they urge such flimsy objections against
Crisp, and such tactics are not calculated
to do Mills any good. Criap is the fa
vorite of tho south ami the cast, and ho
will be speaker. He is eminently fitted
for the position and will honor his party
and the house of representatives."—Age-
