Ai.l the bids mado (or bonds of the city of Birmingham, Ala., were rejected as unsatisfactory on Friday last. Auousta is entertaining the drummers convention this week, and the traveling man has taken possession of the town, Ex-GOVCKMOR ClUTTBlIDKIf, of Mis sissippi, Is reported to be dying from the rupture of a blood vessel at the base of his brain. Stanley has returned to Europe after capturing a good pile of the filthy lucro Of this country, and is lecturing to the English people. Augusta has raised over ten thousand dollars for the exposition next fall, and tbe Chronicle is happy over the prospect of the success of tho fair. TnE breach between President ITarri son and Secretary Blaine Is widening, and if reports are true the time will soon come for a general break up all around. A young young lady is reported to have died in Chicago from handling too much money. There are lots of poople down this way who would like to run the risk. Charles Pratt, the well known Standard Oil Co., vice-president and a millionaire, died In New York Monday night. His last business act was to sign a check for $5,000 for oharHy In that city. The Ohio legislature has passed s bal lot-reform law, similar to the Australian plan. All the Democrats and a few of the Bepnblicans supported It Tbit make* the twenty-fourth state that has each a law. Tax Italians In Philadelphia, who number over 20,000, are organising tbe “Italo-American League," which Is to have branches all over the country. The main object of the league Is to Ameri canize all the Italians who sons to the United 8tatcs. Only five United States senators have resigned since the war, namely Conk- ling, Platt, Gordon, Edmaads and Ben gali. Tbe Kansas City Star slgniOcantly calls attention to the fact that no (cas tor hat ever resigned from Ohio, Indi- iqi KftTHWfi WniLE some of the boys are writing him out of Georgia journalism. Editor Branham to putting in some good work on the Borne Tribune and says' nothing about retiring. He la too good a writer to leave the field, and It la to be hoped that be will re main at tbe helm of the Tribane. ’ " • ' Sam Small has resigned the presiden cy of the Ogden, Uteh,ool!egeon account of a breach between himself and his as sociates. Tbe board claims that the Bev Sam is short In bis amounts, and refuses to accept bis resignation until tho matter Is straightened oat. What will Sam do next? Hon. O. A. Bacon la reported to have cut loose from railroads aad corpora tions of all kinds, and is now ready for political promotion. The major is prob ably prepared to run a good eiaed cam paign, and may yet be able to gratify hie old desire to become governor of tble great commonwealth. Paixcs Bisu ark seems as well pleased over hi* election to the Heiohsteg aa the average Georgia politician It when he finds that he wlUhave a aeat la the legislature. Ulemark is aa old man, bnt it Is hard for one who haa led an active political life to retire permanently, and he will probably remain in the harness to tbe end. The provisions of tbe McKinley tariff law repealing all special taxca imposed upon dealers In leaf toliaooo, dealers in manufactured tobacco, manufacturers of tobacco and cigars, and upon peddlers of tobacco, took effeot last Friday. By the repeal of this tax It Is estimated that the government will lose not less that $1,- 600,000 annually. The Florida senatori.l oontest devel ops no new features, except that Speer, the Alliance candidate, and theatrong- est opponent of Call, haa been with drawn, and hia vote Is being cast for representative D. H. Mayes, of Jeffer son county. Tbe Call vote holds on to fifty, and Hayes gets forty-three, bal ance scattering. Tbe two-thirds rule Is proving quite expensive to the Florida treasury. A sleeping car on the Central rail road was burned a few miles out of Sa vannah Monday evening. Some of the passengers called the porter's attention to the escaping gas, and in attempting to re-light the gasoline temp the flame caused an explosion end the ear wet soon filled with tbe burning fluid. The train was stopped, and after resowing the frightened passengers, the burning coach was cat loose from the train, and was soon consumed. Happily noons was seriously injured. THE NEW ORLEANS INVESTIGATION. The grand jury which has been in ses sion in New Orleans for the past six weeks investigating the Hennessy mur der, tho trial of the Italians, and the action of the people In killing tbe Italians in the jail, has made Its final re port. The document Is a long one and deals particularly with every feature of the case. Three thousand words at the begin ning arc devoted to the subject of the alleged bribery of the jury which tried the Italians. The grand jury is cm phatic in tbe expression of tho assured conviction that tbe result of that trial was due to tampering with tho jury by Detective O'Malley and others associat ed with and employed by him. The method by which this conclusion is reached is stated, circumstances re viewed, and difficultiea thrown in the way of the investigation set forth. Indictments were found againyt six of tbe men charged with tampering with the jury, and the investigation showed O’Malley to have had a dark criminal record previous to tbe Hennessy murder. The jury is satisfied from its investiga tions of the existence of the murder society, and says that its officers and some of i ts members are well known Italians of American birth. As to the jury which sat in trial upon ths Italians, tho grand jury is convinced that at least three were O'Malley'i agents, and under the Influence of brlno. The report discusses at length the killing of the Italians at the jail, and concludes with the following: “Evidence is before us from official sources that eleven persons were killed In tho attack on the parish prison. In a careful examination as to the citizen- ship of these men, we find that eight of them were, beyond question, American citizens, and another had 'declared hla Intention' In this court, which act car ries with It a renunciation of allegiance to hia native country. It te a notewor thy faet In connection with the uprising that no Injury whatever was done to either person or property beyond the one act, which seemed to have been the object of the assemblage at the parish prison. We bare referred to the large number of eltlzena participating In tbla demonstration, estimated by judges from 6,000 to 8,000, regarded as a spon taneous uprising of tha people. Tbe magnitude of this affair makes It a diffi cult task to fix guilt upon any number of the participants; In faet, the set teemed to involve the entire people of the pariah and the olty of New Orleans, so profuse te their sympathy, and ex tended their eonneetion with the affair. In view of these considerations a thor ough examination of the subject has failed to disclose the neeessary facts to justify the grand jury In presenting In dictments.” toe kino or TABirr reformer hr. MILLS IS. The friends of the Hon. Roger Quarles Mills are yelling that ha te entitted to the Speakership of tho Flfty-eeoond Congress because ha te the representa tive and leader of tariff reform. The kind of tariff reform that Mr. Mills wants he preached on the etump in the Northwest test year, when ha ought to have boon at hla poet In congress try ing to earn tbe salary wbloh tbe United States pays for bte magnifloent services. He declared blmaelf in favor of absolute free trade aad an Inoome tax. Mr. Mills 1a not a tariff reformer. Ho tea free trader, pure and simple; ex ceedingly simple If he thloka that tbe Democratic party haa forgotten bte words. Hare te tbe platform upon which Mr. MIUs stood In October, 1880; and upon whloh the Demoeratlo party will be supposed to stand If he If elected Speaker : ■'Free trade will kill trusts as dead as a doornail. And jet the Ame-iosn people In sist on asndloi men to eonarcss that vote ter protection. “The Almighty never designed that an manor any woman abonld be independent of his fellow man. He made us dependent upon each other. We must exebanga ths things we do not want lor those things we must hare. To do this we mutt hare abso lute free trade. 11 You want reciprocity, but you want It In the right way. In order to have It you trade with the whole world. If you want a market, take down the tariff on woolen goods and Iron. Then lay a lax on inoomea and the wealthy men or the country, and you'll tee prosperity “1 believe In free trade, free labor, free speech, and a free prase.” These wore tbe opinion! of Mr. Hills at Minneapolis in October, 1800. The demoerats who are supporting Mr. Mills' candidacy for the speakership are supporting absolute free trade and an Income tax. What would be left of the demoeratlo party In 1892 if It elected Mr. Mills speaker f—New York Sun. WHAT RECIPRO ITT MEANS. It is clearly plain that every move by the republican party has been to assist manufacturers to the oppression of the muses of our people. The reciprocity scheme of which so much has been said and so much good has been claimed by tbe republican party for tho people u a result of Its working, is simply to open new fields for the manufactured pro ducts of the mills, and tbe products of the farm are entirely ignored. If the mill owners are to be permitted to exchange their products in Cuba for sugar, and bring the sugar home free, why may not the farmer exchange cot ton for woolen clothing In England and bring that home free? If “reciprocity” 1a a good thing for the mill owner, it cannot be a bad thing for the owner of a field. The Injustice of offering reciprocity to one country, in order to aulst our man ufacturers, and refusing It to another for fear it would enrich our agriculturalists is a piece of injustice which will not be long tolerated, If the people will only open their eyes to the deception being practiced upon them. It Is Europe to which the farmers must look for consumers, and if the so-called reciprocity arrangement could be effect ed with England, France and Germany the farmer might hope to realize some advantage by an exchange of his pro ducts. In tbe current number of tbe Forum, Mr. Mills has a timely article upon the subject, which will attract wide atten tion. In the course of bis article he showe up the fallacy of tho scheme follows: Europe tn>n from ua more tban tcoo.coo,- 000 In acrlcnitural products yearly, which la alxty tlmea aa muehaa the Southern conn- trinjtnke. If reciprocity with South Ameri ca would Increeee oureaportefiO percent — and It probably would—It would open ket fur 13,010,000 more of term products, and similar results, following from reciprocity with Europe, would Increase our exports of farm products by $300.0 0,00r. Now, If the 'armor Is the person to be benelltted we must loon Eastward, not Southward, for markets. The b»st mark. Is for term predne's areuot to be found among acilcullurai, but among manufacturing, mining and inercanllle com munities. A nation of termersoffer the beat market to ma'inteeturere, and It is for that reaeon tint reciprocity with the agricultural ennotrlea of the Soati la ao e .mostly sought. The‘other products’ will get tbe benefits, and the termers, as nanal, will receive all the compliments of tbe season." Where the benefit to the farmer from reciprocity comes it has not yet been ex plained. WORK FOR MR. CRISP. Mr. Crisp has a good lead in tha Speak- ershlp race. The field may combine and defeat him, but hla chances are bright. Savannah haa the deepest sort of Interest In Mr. Crisp's success. He te an old 8a- vannahlan, and 1a naturally partial to oar olty. He has many warm personal friends here, and we admire him and hope to see him win. Our commercial bodies and oar business men can assist Mr, Crisp in ways that will occur to ev- cry one. Mr. Crisp would appreciate socb influence too. Let Savannah aid him.—Savannah Tlmea. Hon. Daniel A. Wellls 1a authority for tbe statement that the Standard OU Co. will reap $1,500,000 in drawbacks on the tin used In export packages, in con sequence of the McKinley tariff bill. Mr. Wells further says that notice was serv ed on Mr. MeKinley and hia Republican associates by tbe Standard OU people that unless their interests were token care of by the Iniertion of a provision allowing a drawback on Imported tin plate used In tbe ImportaUon of domes tic products, they would defeat the biU. The provision was Inserted, and under it this wealthy monopoly will get Its tin plate for about $8.52 a box, while all or dinary consumers will have to pay about $6 a box. Governor Tillhan, of South Caro lina, te ontepokan in his opposition to tbe third party movement, and believes In fighting for reform inalde the party lines and not outside of It He thinks that any attempt to organize a third party in bis state, or the south, would bean absolute failure. He te squarely against the Cincinnati third party scheme, and believes that tbe farmers can help themselves best by selecting a candidate for the presidency from the democrats who is nearest the ideas of reform which they advocate. Governor Tillman Is sound on this line, and the leading men of the alliance of the eouth are with him. A transit of the planet Mercury across the disc of the son will take plaee on tbe evening of May 0th, just before snnset Tbe sun will hare act long be fore the transit Is finished.
