Americus, Ga., May 2, 1891.
Deputy Imiiriani, in the Italian
chamber, created a violent scene by
charging the government with having
aided the African slave trade.
The Xorth Carolina railroad commis
sion lias fixed the passenger fare at
three and one quarter cents for first-class
tickets, and two and three quarter cents
for second-class.
Senator Reagan, of Texas, has held
ollico almost continuously since 18119,
and his present position insures him sii
years more, if he should live that long,
Some men are born lucky.
Editor Ti’Iiner is evidently pretty
well acquainted with the Kimball iiouse
bar in Atlanta. From Ids description in
yesterday's Xews-and-Advertiser one
would be lead to believe that he had
been there.
Savannah with its military and
Brunswick entertaining tho teachers
this week should bo enough to gratify
coast cities for tho present. Reports
from both places indicate that the guests
are having a royal time.
There will he no third party. When
tho great fight comes on in ’92, demo
crats will ho democrats, and republicans
will he republicans. All other votes
will merely be complimuntaries with no
intention of doing any harm to cither of
tho old parties.
The murderer of the woman, Carrie
Brown, in Xew York, has been cap
tured, and the chain of evidence in pos
session of the police forms a net work
from which it will be hard to escape.
The murderer is known as Freney Xo. 1,
and his imitation of ’Mack the Ripper"
is nippod in the bud.
The real estate agents of Philadelphia
are said to discriminate against the no-
groes in the salo of houses and the rent,
ing of tenements, and the colored preach
ers aro raising a row about it. In the
city of brotherly love it is perfectly
proper, but such things down hero are
callod southern outrages.
H. P. Hutchinson, the millionaire
grain speculator, known to the world as
“Old Hutch,” is missing from Chicago,
and neither friends nor family are aware
' of his whereabouts. He has met with
reverses in bis speculations of late, and
H is supposed that he absented himself
from the city until his shortage of about
$100,000 eould be mode good.
With the approaching session of the
general assembly, the much discussed
question of local legislation is receiving
the attention of the press. But local
lawa will continue to consume tho
larger portion of each session until legis
latures are no more. There are few
members with the backbone to refuse
any request made by their constituents.
lr Atlanta wants a good terminal
for the Atlanta A Florida railroad let
them bring it to Americus It would
connect here with the S. A. A M., and
would give Atlanta another line to the
coast. And more, it would give'the
people of southwest Georgia a direct
line to the capital city, which would be
greatly appreciated and liberally pat
ronized. Americus would join forces
with Atlanta in bringing tho road to this
place.
The priests and and pastors of Mos
cow aro overwhelmed with requests from
Jews for baptism in order to avoid ex
pulsion. The law, however, prevents
such conversions, except in the case of
Lutherans and Catholics, and then per
mits conversions only in limited num
bers. The flight of Jews continues.
Tho expelled Jews are cruelly treated,
being marched out of the city afoot,
chained in bands by the wrists. The
Russians afterward pillage th6 shops and
houses.
A HOW OVER TDK TARIFF.
The Western Commercial Congress,
which met recently at Kansas City, end
ed in a row over the tariiT. The reso
lutions composed by a majority of the
committee on resolutions and Anally
passed by a vote of W to 35, each state
delegation dividing, favored a tariff for
revenue only, free, unlimited coinage of
silver, and the issue of a suflicient
amount of legal tender notes, redeema
ble in botli gold and silver, “to restore
the equilibrium between money and
other products." The minority report
favored a tariff witii incidental protec
tion, and the free, unlimited ooinage of
American gold and silver in a ratio es
tablished by an International Monetary
Convention, which shall make tiie silver
and gold of equal purchasing power.”
The silver clause of the minority re
port was defeated on a viva voce vote,
and then came the fight on the tariff.
Mr. K. V. Smalley of Minnesota, chair
man of the committee on resolutions, led
the protectionist forces. He said that
he had not expected when he accepted
Hie chairmanship that the democrats
•‘would crowd their party platform down
ins throat.” He charged that the con
vention had been packed in tho interest
of the democratic party, and that its real
purpose was to “weld together the dem
ocrats and the farmers’ alliance ” The
charge was vehemently denied and vehe
mently repeated, and a debate of more
liveliness than good temper ensued. Tho
representatives of the Business Union of
St. Paul, withdrew, and after the pas
sage of the majority resolutions, Mr.
Smalley, saying that the congress “had
degenerated into a democratic pow
wow," resigned his chairmanship and
left tho hall. The congress passed reso
lutions providing for biennial sessions,
but it is evident that the tariff question
will have to bo kept out of the debates
of future congresses if they are to he
successful.
JACK THE RIPPER.
The recent murder of a woman in Xew
York after the usual style of Jack the
Ripper, and the great sir in police cir
cles to catch him leads the Herald to re
mark :
It is Interesting at ih’s Juncture to recall
one Incident In tne weird and ghastly career
of Jack the Ripper.
On the last day of September 1888, when
he had accomplished bl« fourth crime, and
all Txtndon wa* wild with excitement and
fury, ha wrote on the shutter of an adjoin
ing house these word* of warning and de-
llance:
have murdered four, ant will murder
sixteen more b fore 1 surrender mystlf to
I he police.”
Here was a hold challenge to the detective*
to And his hiding place, and an Insolent
prophecy that he could not discovered but
would have lo make himself known when
his strong} ta *k was completed.
Whut a monstrosity he must be! He has
already killed nine In London, and if this
last murder tn Now York Is his work, then
ho Is Just half way to the end of b>s Journey.
The man’s make up D simply astounding.
The most li rid imagination can hardly con •
celve .1 such ucr -stare. He U the devil ln-
cnrna'e, gloating over deeds from which his
fellows reeoP, and boasting that he is beyond
the react) of poodh'e detecting.
Hanging is too good for the sc undre).

A leading house in Atlanta lias an ad
•ortising contract with Thk Tijif.s-Ke-
'ohiikr, which has been running some
months.
During tlic time, two gentlemen from
southwestern Georgia have gono into
the Atlanta establishment and stated
that having seen tho advertisement in
the Americus paper they came in to
price ids goods.
To one party $1,100 worth of goods
were sold, and to the other $230. The
Atlanta merchant is delighted with his
(100 investment in Americus ink, and
will continue another year. “Does ad
vertising pay? Well I should smile'
said the Atlanta merchant.
Pbofkssou C. A. Totticn, of Vale, has
finished his computations based on bib-
licml truths, and stakes his reputation on
the prophecy that the second coming of
the Messiah will occur before the year
1809. He says, however, he doesn't an
ticipate the end of the world before the
expiration of a million years or so. The
coming of the Messiae, he says, will sim
ply make the world better, as bis previ
ous advent did. It is doubtful whether
his reception will be more cordial than
it was before if he disagrees with the
present cryetallzed system of theology.
If tuk subject were not so serious the
efforts of Secretary Foster and the Im-
petuoua director of the mint to figure
out a respectable treasury surplus, after
the wild extravagance of the billion con-
greia, would be laughable. Their at
tempt* to juggle the figures remind one
of the country storekeeper who was
pained by the discovery that liabilities
exceeds assets. He at once called his
clerk, ordered him to mark up the price
of his good* fifty per cent alt round, and
when thia dona sat down with a sigh of
relief, exclaiming, “Thank Clod, I’m
solvent again P’—New Tork Herald.
There will be pertufbatlon among the
society ladies of many citlos when it be
comes known that the custom house de
tectives in Xew York have made the lar
gest capture of rarislan gowns in the
history of the special treasury agents'
office. Special Agent Wilbur and his
men, in confiscating the costumes, have
unearthed a systematic swindle on the
government which has confined for
years and has robbed the reveuue of
many thousands of dollars In duties and
at the same time exposed incompetency
at the appraiser's stores. The goods
seized consisted of forty-three cases of
the finest Paris dresses. They were con
signed to [fashionable dressmakers in
New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St
Louis, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburg and
other cities. Tho consignor's agent on
thia side of the Atlantic has escaped be
cause he is now in Europe.
- The Louisiana Lottery question now
goes directly to the people o! the state
for decision. The continuance of tho
institution after the oxpiratioa of its
presont lease is forbidden by the consti
tution of the state, but a bill to change
the constitution In this respect was
passed by the legislature, and was vetoed
by Governor Nichols. The lottery com
pany contended that the governor had
no right to veto such a bill, and carried
tlio case to the supreme court, which
has now decided in the company’s favor,
three judges voting that way while two
voted against It. The bill, therefore, be
comes a law, and at the next general
election the lottery amendments will be
submitted to the people for their action,
Tho present sentiment in the state is
favorable to the company, and it is
probable that it will receive a large
majority of the rotes cast.
Tuk arrival of the steamor Empress
of India at San Francisco on Tuesday
from Liverpool, after a voyago of eighty
days, l« a remarkable feat. Tho vessel
touched at Gibraltar, Marseilles, Singa
pore, Ismai’ia, Suez, Clomobo, Pekin,
Hong Kong, Kobe, Nagasaki and Yoko
hama. Witii no deviations from a
straight course the total distanco trav
ersed Is over l(t,:t00 miles. The most re
markable part of her run was from Yo
kohama to San Francisco in 10 days,
hours and 34 minutes. The distance
between the two porta is 4,030 nautical
miles, which makes the averago speed of
the steamer about 473 miles a day, sup
posing that site kept on the shortest sea
route.
Thk rumor is now atioat—and It is
based upon good authority for belief,
too—that editor A. I. Branham will re
tiro permanently from the Georgia Held
of journalism. Mr. Branham is one of
tiie brightest and brainiest men in Geor
gia to-day, and his ability has shown
itself wherever it has been carried. In
the field of teaching Mr. Branham made
a reputation that was most enviable.
As a superintendent of public schools be
won golden opinions wherever his ser
vice was secured. Leaving the profes
sion of the pedagogue, Mr. Branham en
tered the newspaper business as a re
porter on the Atlanta Constitution,
where lie at once became known as one
of tho best writers in Georgia. His
work as editor of the Brunswick Times,
and later of tho Tribune-of-Kome lias
finished tiie climax of his success in the
forth estate most splendidly. It will be
heard witii regret all over Georgia that
Editor Branham is to permanently with
draw for the state press, where lie lias
done so very much good work.—Athens

Hon. W. A. Peffkr, tho alliance sen
ator from Kansas, expresses himself on
the wants of tho people as follows: “The
people want more money. They do not
care much about tiie tariff; they do not
care very much about the coinage; but
want money, and they will not bo sat
isfied until they have money. So you
may set it down that, no matter what
republicanism or democratic partisianB
do for an issue in 1802, the masses of
tho people who aro mustering for the re-
hellion which is coming, will talk about
little else than money, more money,
cheaper money; and that will be the
great lesue In 1802 and from that time
forward, until success crowns the efforts
of the masses.’' Peffer is right, hut
what troubles most people is how to
get it.
Kiutok Gunn, of the Cutbbert Lib
eral-Enterprise, comes out this week
with a card explaining his connection
with tho^i’orthen caucus. He explain*
that he was invited and attended, but
had nothing to do with passing resolu
tions. He does not disclose what was
done in the meeting, further than to
say that certain officials were discussed
and it was decided to prefer charges be
fore the exeeutive committee, but up to
this time nothing has been done. Ed
itor Gunn's explanation does not throw
much light upon the mansion meeting.
Russia is making war on its nativo
Jews and is forcing thdrn to leave the
country. They are arrested without
cause, men, women and children chain
ed together, marched Out of the cities,
and their property plundered. It Is a
disgrace to the civilized world that any
people should bo allowed to be robbed
of their homes and possessions, and
driven out of a country simply because
it pleases the ruler. Many of them are
finding homos In the United States,
where they will be at rest from per
secution.
