and New, to his partner Mr. Beverly.
Mr. W. will remain with the paper for
awhile aa editor.
A TEi.itOBAM from Panama reports a
revolutionary movement in progress in
Coeta Rica, and that the president de
clared a state of siege and suspended
guarantees May I.
Retl'uxs from (he elections in the
aecond and third class in Indiana indi
cate democratic galas except New Al
bany and Jeffersonville, where the re
publicans made clean sweeps.
MmsTitt Blair says he has “noth
ing to say" about the Chinese matter.
The Philadelphia Times says if Minis
ter Blair bad had “nothing to say" in
the past the Chinese matter might not
have made so much talk now.
In'GERsom, thinks that there will never
be apy real civilization until women en
joy the same rights that men have,
Docs this mean, in the language of
Proctor Knott, that women shall be

Senator Geouoe is rigorously can
vassing Mississippi in advocacy of the
maintenance of the democratic organiza
tion intact, and in opposition to the
sub-treasury scheme. He has appoint
ments to speak nearly every day for the
next two weeks in various places.
Assistant W. J. Hi-keii of the state
treasurer’s office lias been designated by
the governor to examine the records of
the treasury department at Washington
and obtain the names of the Georgians
who paid the “direct tax,” which the
government has decided to refund.
The democrats of Jeffersonville,
lad., can’t be blamed for allowing a re
publican mayor to be eleoted this time.
They most have realized that their can
didate, having already aerved (even
terms, was somewbat of a hog in his
greed for office.—Macon Telegraph.
Italy la greatly alarmed and fears a
revolution In her midat. She has no
time to attend to affairs in America. All
her money, genina and statesmanship
are required to keep her own cot-throats
from overturning her own monarchy.
1 lie outlook is very serious at present
Tub commissioners of Jefferson coun
ty, Alabama opened on Monday the only
hid received for the biro of the county
convlote. It Wis from the Sloes Iron
Company, and was rejected as too low.
The commissioners will continue te em
ploy them at work on the county roads.
Thera are now fifty-three of them-
Tmt steamer I tala belonging to the
Chilian Insurgents which was captured
by the United States authorities while
taking on supplies at San Diego, Cat, a
few days since, took Fnnoh leave Thurs
day and (teamed out of port, with a
United State* marshal on board. This
does not show much respect for Undo
Sam’s authority.
“I think the tariff will be the leading
Issue in 1893,” said Senator Carlisle
while In New York the other day. ' "It
ought to be, and I sincerely hope that it
will he. 1 think the democratic party
would make a serious mistake if it al
lowed the tariff question to be made
secondary to the silver question or any
other. The party is a unit on that
question, while on the sliver question It
Is divided."
If Sccbbtaby Blaine's backbone ie
of a piece with the New Orleans grand
jury, and he repeats to Italy the words
given him by that body of patriotic cit
izens, then the belligerent ltudini will
have to ehut off hia ohin music, and give
instead a blast from the trumpet of war.
It Is fight or back down with Italy. The
question Is, can Humbert afford to go to
war for two villainous assassins who it
la claimed were still Italian citizens, or
rather bandits.
There Is to be a recount in Connecti
cut although last November the demo
cratic candidate for governor was duly
eleetedi For six months the voice of
the people baa been stifled in the “Nut
meg State.’’ It I* now agreed by the
democratic and republican state com-
■ mltteea to have a recount By what an
. thority this is don* and how it can af
fect the result is more than we now
know. Both parties will probably en
deavor to make a case for their man.
Tin: bet torments commission which
liai been in session in Atlanta for the
past several peeks investigating the
claim of the old lessees of tho state road,
adjourned Thursday to the 22d Inst.,
and until that tirao nothiug will be
known of its decision. Both the state
Baud tho lessees have been ably repre
sented by some of tho best legal talent
of Georgia, and tho decision Is awaited
with a great deal of interest. No one
has yet attempted to foretell the result.
Tine smKMisaiP.
The Atlanta Constitution of yesterday
published the following special from
Washington:
Judce Charles Frederick Crisp, of Geargla,
will he the next speaker of the bouse of rep-
res-c tsilves.
It looks now a. If iheGeorgian would hsvs
awalk*over. H -n. Bento-i McMIHIo.of Ten
ne-see.wboba-J ist returned to tills clt, from
a trip through the New England stales, re-
porta that ibe ra t Ie pra-tle«Uy solid for
Crisp. Mr. MrSllllin has made a good deal
of headway hlra*clf In Ibe apeakershlp eon-
test. but he could do nothtog In Ne » Eng
land except to secure support as second
choice. As a metier effect, Mr. MeMlIlle'e
only cope Ie to come In as a comproml e In
case the two leading caod'da'es—Crisp and
Mills—cannot win. Judge Crisp, howe
he, ouch a Iced overMIHa that It do • not

Thomas A Coakley, one of t le Tammany

In addition tothls, Judge Crlso will ,et!3

more ceitala then that he will be elected on

MAKING IT BAIN.
It Iras al way, been said that the firing
of cannon or continued explosion of
powder would produce rain, and now it
la announced that one Power* of Dele-
van, Wis., ia working away upon tbi*
theory, and propoie* to Invent a plan for
rain making.
He maintains that concussions of the
air cause rain, and declare* that after
every great battle during the last 100
year* there have been copious rainfalls.
Even on the arid plains of the Rio
Grande during the Mexican war there
was no exception to the rule. Through
the efforts of extSeuator Farwell, con
gress was induced to appropriate $9,000
to be used in making experiments. These
will be tried, in western Kansas next
June, under the direction of Colonel
Dyrenfurth. Balloons will be charged
with an explosive mixture of oxygen
and hydrogen and exploded at a consid
erable elevation by means of a wire and
an electric battery and f imultaneou* ex
plosions of charges of dynamite will be
made on the ground.
If the plan succeed, it will be (great
toon to mueb of the northwest, but It
aeemi doubtful whether any amount of
explosion will succeed in knocking water
out of air that has no water to speak of
in it—which lr the real trouble in most
places subject to drought
Siuxob Ciamiiktti, the editor of the
Italian paper, Christofero Colombo, pub
lished at New York, la In trouble, owing
to the fact that he hae been indicted for
perjury. It appears that In a libel auit
against his paper he swore that he bad
never been convicted of a crime, bat doc
ument* were pulled on him, showing
that he had served three terms in an
Italian prison for forgery before be
came to ibis country, and the chances
are good that he will also inspect the
Interior of an American penitentiary.
He was among the first to call upon Italy
to avenge the death of the Italians killed
In New Orleans, and It Is now discovered
that he belonged to the same class of
criminal*.
Onr of the most promising signs of
safety to the repnblie Is the action of the
New Orleans grand jury in justifying
the lynching of the Sicilian aasassiz
Any temporizing, or apologies, or in
dictments, would have emboldened the
villians to such a degree that law and
order would have ceased to reign in inch
centers as New Oilcans, Chicago and
New York. The American people
through the New Orleans grand jury,
have put on record the statement that
assassination will not be tolerated in
America. Liberty Is not license, and
the sooner the foreign world recognizes
this fact, the better for everybody.
Youxo Henry McDonald, a son of Rev.
Henry McDonald, of Atlanta, who Is at
tending the university at Athens, shot
himself through the left lung Thursday,
while carelessly handling a pistol. The
wound Is dangerous, but the young man
may recover. Accidents of this kind
are of frequent occurrence, but it is use-
lev to advise against this evil practice
of carrying a pistol. Aa long a* they
are manufactured there will be boys
wboee only ambition Is to own a pistol,
and they only learn the lesson by expe
rience,
We have bed six months McKInleyiara.
Bow are wages, Mr. Workingman? Toe lar-
Ifftex was raised from forty per cent. up to
sixty per eent-that is, advanced nit, per
cent. Have yoi rwag-ebe.it advanced ae
cordlngly?—Boston H.i^ld. ,
That it where the beauty of the tariff
tax comes ip. As the tariff advances the
wage* of the tolling masses 'recede, but
there the symmtery it presetted. This
is what the rabid radicals call political
economy. What has the eloquent Major
Hanson to give in explanation of a raise
of the tariff bringing down wages? Will
be kindly explain? .
THE WORLD’S FAIR CONTENTION.
The work of the World's fair conven
tion In Atlanta was very full and inter
esting. A large meeting was held, and
much interest In the work of advertis
ing Georgia in Chicago was developed.
Speeches were made eulogistic of Geor
gia’s resources and material interests,
and the importance of putting the state
on a creditable footing in Chicago in
1893 was established.
The convention will be valuable in
agitating the question, in devtloping in
terest, and in finally opening the way
for money, whether by public appropri
ation or private contribution.
There seems to have been little doubt
that Prof. Andrew J. Cobb's plan to ap
propriate enough money out of the
Western and Atlantic rental, met the ap
proval of the convention; and as this is s
very fair criterion of public opinion, it
it rate to say that the appropriation will
be made as suggested by Prof. Cobb.
Tue Times-Recobiieii mentioned some
days ago that another fund would be
available for this purpose; that derived
from the Uoited States refunding the
direct tax collected from Georgia some
years ago.
There is ono tbiog that we intend to
do aa long as we wield a pen, and that is
to condemn the present way of insinu
ating into ou schools, books that were
written In the north, and contain matter
calculated to teach the children that
their fathers were traitors and rebel*.
We do not write in a revolutionary
spirit We cherish the glory of Ameri
can institutions But we do maintain
that the duty of the south is clear and
plain in this matter. Our fathers fought
for sacred principles. These principles
we shall perpetuate. We propose to
keep hammering away until every book
of such nature as to teach onr children
erroneously it takeo from our schools.
We have plenty of good text books writ
ten by southern authors. We want to
see them used In our schools. We close
our article with these propositions:
Such books are iniquitous in their teach
ing. And they must go!—Athens
Banner.
Cotton is down to the very lowest
point and all feed stuffs are high. The
New York telegrams announce that
meat ha* reached the highest point
known there since 1881, and that recent
advices from the producing sections of
the country have given rise to a fear
that the conditions of a decado ago are
to be repeated. Within the month just
closed the advance in prices of meats of
ait descriptions has averaged four cents
per pound, and this increase, it is the
opinion of the representative retail
dealers, it likely to be maintained
througbont the summer. It is predict
ed though, that when the efimmer is
over price* will bo normal.
Tbe report of Superintendent Gaster
to Mayor Shakespeare shows that with
in the past twenty years ninety-four
people have been assassinated in New
Orleans by Italians. This Is a black
record, and when the American people
ponder over it they will be more em-
phatlo than ever in declaring that the
citlxens of New Orleans did right when
they struck down the Mafia.
“Harry Smith, an ex-slave,” says the
Detroit Tribune, “who has prospered so
well that be ha* been able to extend the
band of charity to. bit former master,
lives near ItUton Junction, on tbe Grand
Raplda and Indiana railroad, and I*
having hit biography w itton for pubU<
cation."
Mme. Carnot's musicals* at the
Eiytee , in Paris, are really amazing in
their iplendor.
