CoNORKSBMAN ClIAIILKK 1„ Mem*, of
the Fourth district, wax in Atlanta at
the World's Fair convention, and the
Constitution quotes him as follows:
I we It staled In awettorn paper that them
are IhratOeorsU congressmen who will uot
vote for Crisp for tpeasvr. or course, Ills
west you newspaper men call a faSe, but It
should be denied, fn my opinion tlteGoor-

The cold snap which hss made the
people of Americus regret .that their
winter wraps snd flannels were packed
swsy for another season, Isaooonnted
for by tho presence of snow sod heavy
frosts along the iakrs snd in the western
states. Bnt no damage is done here,
and the cool weather !■ rather enjoyed
than otherwise after the warm dsya of
the past week.
Hoif. John J. Ingalls Informed
newspaper reporter the other (lay that
he wee tired of being bored by the pen
cil pushers Tbqj hie Ideaa were valu
able, snd that he did not propose to si.
low other people to make money out of
them, while he reoeived nothing.
Johnny has changed materially sinoe bis
defest for the senate. He used to be a
favorite with the newspaper boys in
Washington, snd was glad enough then
to have them publish bis sayings.
An error in engrossment has been dis
covered, by which the registration and
election law of Tennessee is rendered
inoperative. The intention of the leg
islature was to make the law applicable
to counties having a population of fiO,.
000, bnt the act aa enrolled made it a
“voting” population of 50,000, and tboro
are no counties in the state having as
many voters. It Is suggested that an
extra sesaion of the legislature may be
called to correct the error.
It Is doubtful it the farmers legists-
turn wiU agree to appropriate the one
hundred thousand dollars aaked for by
the World's Fair convention, even If it
should be clearly proven that it it not
unconsti tuUonal. The opinions pro and
con, as expressed by prominent citizens
and eminent lawyers both in the eooven-
tion snd out of it, sre at variance, sod it
is a question which esn only be settled
by the legisla'uro itself.
THK WORLD'S FAIR CONVENTION.
The convention called by Gov. Nor-
then to consider the unsettled question
as to the ways snd means to have Geor
gia represented at the World's fair in
Chicago in 1*03 convened in Atlanta last
Wednesday. About seventy fivo coun
ties of the state were represented. Gov.
N'orthen, in calling the convention to
order, took advanced grounds fn favor of
having Georgia represented “in every
nay worthy of the mineral, the agricul
tural and the manufacturing resources of
the state.”
The proceedings clearly showed that
the convention was unanimously in favor
of the state being worthily represented.
The only serious question upon which
there was division was liow to get the
money necessary to pay the expenses
It is clear that no money can bo taken
from the treasury for this purpose that
lias been collected from the people by
taxation, as the state constitution says:
the power of taxation over the whole
state shall be exercised by the general
assembly for the support of the state
government and the public institutions;
for educational purposes in educating
children in the elementary branches of
an English education; to pay interest on
tlio public debt; to suppress Insurrec
tion; to repel invasion and defend the
state in time of war; to supply lost
limbs to surviving Confederate vet
erans."
Nome of the delegates were in favor of
appropaiatlng to this purpose $100,000
of the rental of the state road, sod Mr.
A. J. Cobb, of Athens, made a strong
argument in favor of the constitutional
right to do so.
This was opposed by Capt. IIrrry
Jackson of Atlanta as unconstitutional.
He favored using for this purpose the
proceeds of the salo of the Okefenokee
swamp.
Col. J. J. Bull, of Talbotton, thought
there was no way to get any money for
thla purposo from the atate treasury
and favored raising the required amount
by county subscriptions.
The matter was finally disposed of by
the unanimous adoption of the following
resolutions:
This convention tally recognising the 1m
p* rtsnce of Georgia being properly repre
sents I at the World's Colombian ex poult on
ai Cblcagoln 1**1, and being here In response
o toe ca I of nur governor, do issolve,
1, That the legislature of this slats be re-
quested to appropriate $100,000 for the pur
pose of enabling tbs state of Georgia to mak<
an exhibition of her t eaou'cee at the World')
Columbian exhibition for 1893.
3. That a permansnloommlttee or one from
eseh congressional district and two from the
state at large be appointed lor the pu 'pose or
earrylngtuioeffectthe objects of thla
vcntlon.
The following committee, under the
resolution, was appointed: Captain
Henry Jackson, and General C. A. Ev
ans, from the state st large, snd from
the congressional distrlota Ip order: A,
T. Putnam, of Brunawlek;0. B. Stevens,
of Terrell; W. I.. Gleasner, of Amerieua;
Louis M. Garrard, of Columbus; Hoke
Smith, of Atlanta; R. W. Jemison, of
Macon; Seaborn Wright, of Rome; An
drew J. Cobb, of Athena; F. C, Tate, of
Fickens; Fat Walsh, of Augusta.
No doubt any Georgian would be glad
to have the empire etate of the South
worthily represented at Chicago, and
Tna Times-Repobdeh sincerely hopes
some legal means may be found to ob
tain the money for the purpose.
The most interesting and important
ease to the newspapen of the country,
involving aa It does, to a certain extent,
the freedom of the press, la that of the
Mobile Register sgslnst the United
States Government The case grows out
of the set of congress prohibiting the
publication and sending through the
malls of lottery advertisements. It is
understood that the suit la brought by
the Louisians Lottery Company and the
Register as a test case. It Is a question
of the greatest import snd the Issue will
be wstched with interest.
The Mississippi democratic commit
tee hae arranged for a thorough public
discussion of the alliance sub-treasury
bill in the various oounties of the atate.
Tha Mississippi alliance is divided In re
gard to the sub-treaatry scheme. For a
time the scheme was popular in Missis
sippi, but the opposition of Senator
George and Senator Walthall and other
leaders has brought about a desire to
learn more of the scheme, and the dis-
cuasion arranged promises to liven up
the politics of. that atate.
A vessel belonging to the Insurgents
of Chili was seized by the government
officials while loading with supplies at
San Diego, California, Tuesday, In ac
cordance with Instructions from Wash
ington. The Insurgents are making
some headway In their revolution against
the government, but the United States
has no desire to be made a party to the
fight, not even by allowing supplies to
be furnished from this country.
CtrtEr Ahthuh, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, has been lu Sa
vannah several days for tho purpose of
conferring with the Central railroad au
thorities in regard to the wafees of the
engineers. The latter are not pleased
with the result of th* change from a
stated per diem to the mileage ayetem,
endwanttoputtherosdon notice that
the contract which expires next fall will
not be renewed.
BE IS FOR CRISP.
Much speculation has been indulged
in aa to which of the speakership can
didates would be the recipient of the
votes of the representatives who belong
to the farmers’ alliance, and whether
they would all vote together. The al
liance representatives have, aa a rule,
fought shy of expressing their prefer
ences, if they bad any,' contenting them
selves with saying that they proposed
supporting the candidate who was will
ing to make the most concessions to
tbelr principles; but Representative Ed
munds of Virginia, who U in Washing
ton City for a day or two, looking after
the interests of some of his constituents,
is more outspoken than any alliance-
man. lie said: “lam for Crisp, lie
is one of the ablest men In the house,
and he has pre-eminently all the quail- i
fications that should be looked for in the |
speaker of the next house.” Mr. Ed-!
munds is a democrat, as well as an al-j
l'anceman, and he will attend tho demo
cratic caucus, and will, of course, be
bound by its decision.—Augusta Even
ing News.
It is now reported that 0,090 whl te In
truders upon the Chickasaw Indian lands
are to bo driven away, as other intrud
ers fu Oklahoma have been driven away,
and as the woodsmen who tried to in
trude upon the Indian reserve in north
ern Wisconsin have been driven away.
There ought to be better regulations for
the guidance of the pioneers in these re
gions than those that are now enforced
and now neglected. The Chicasaw set
tlers ought to have been prevented from
intruding upon land that they could not
lawfully take, and that some of them
have held and worked for years by con
sent of the Indians. The pioneers in
several parts of the west have had hard
times this year.
Scott Tiioknton, Atlanta’s pet trage
dian, has started out on a tour of the
state, and made his first appearance in
Athens Wednesday evening. Nothing
could havo suited the students of the
State University better, and they were
on hand when tHe curtain went up, well
loaded with bad eggs, potatoes and cab
bages. The first act has not been com
pleted yet, as Seotty is too bashful a
youth to stand before tiie immense au
dience which greeted bis appearance
and receive the encore showered upon
him. He was boobed for only one night
in Athens, and now feels bad because it
waa not cancelled.

Toe contest over the governorship of
Nebnuka has been settled by the courts,
and the majority candidate steps down
and out to give place to tiie minority.
Boyd and Thayer were the candidates.
Thayer was closing hi, first term and
consequently was in office when the re
turns wore counted. The figures show
ed the election of Boyd, but the point
waa made that he had never been nat
uralized and was consequently ineligible.
Thayer, however, surrendered the office
to his competitor, and the question of
law was submitted to the courts. The
decision la that Boyd is ineligible, and
that Thayer la entitled to the office.
Some of the Southern newspapers arc
condemning the New Orleans grand jury
for refusing to find Indictments against
the leaders in the Mafia lynching. The
report is just what waa expected, and
meets the approval of a vast majority of
the citizens of Now Orleans, especially
thoro who were in the mob. If Indlot-
menta had been found against ail who
participated In the killing, the question
arises where would the jury come from
to try thorn ? It ia stated that the whole
city was Involved, and If this la true none
would be left to alt upon the jury.
Bitnop Williams recently wrote in
reply to a young Hartford' man about to
be married: “I regret, sir, tbst Is with
out my province to order the word
‘obey’ omitted from the marriage »er-
Vioe. There is no way that this can be
done except by vote of the Houie of
Bishops, The house next convenes in
1893, and if you will postpone your mar
riage until than, I will take pleasure in
presenting your petition to the house
for its action.” The young man con
cluded not to wait.
William Jacques, a citizen of Mas
sachusetts, who was touring with his
daughter iu Italy, was attacked by Ital
ians at Florence while nut riding Tues
day, and the young lady seriouiiy in
jured. There was no cause for the at
tack, and other Americans traveling in
Italy may look out tor similar treat
ment, as the Italian, will not fear pun-
ishment under the present statu, of af
fairs between their country and ours.
