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.

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 Banner. BARGAIN WEEK!

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.
