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 privileged not only to vote but ,to ride straddle and drink cocktaila f 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.

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."
