C01.0NEI. Ki.i.iorr Shepherd, of the
New York Mnil aud *Express is said to
have owned $2,800,000 of the first mort
gage bonds of the Alabama Midland rail
way, on which there was a default in
the payment of interest last week in
New York. Tho bonds are a good in
vestment no matter if there was a iiitell
in meeting the interest. The road is
amply good for its mortgage debts.

The treasury department has decided
that queen bees tent through the malls
from Italy to a purchaser in Iowa are
liable to a duty of 20 per cent, ad valo
rem. Under the sky-scraping, fine-drawn
provisions of the McKinley tariff the
exemption heretofore accorded to ani
mals Intended for breeding purposes
cannot be mado to cover queen bees.
Those royal insects have no recorded
pedigree. McKinley insists on a pedi

fine.—Philadelphia Record.
Ton Gibson Reoord, whioh Is a new
candidate for publio favor, is trying to
defend Mr. Watson in bis position
against Mr. Crisp for the epeakerthlp.
The only trouble with Mr. Watson is
that he failed to post himself before
opening hie mouth. The record Mr.
Crisg has made ax a tariff reformer in
eongress will stand the test, and any
democrat nan support hi m lor any post

Watson is fully Informed he will make
the Georgia delegation aolid by voting

Tint grand Jury of Colquitt county at
its recent session, returned several In
dictments against the land sharks who
have been operating in that county for a
number of yean, and it ia the Intenfon
of the good people there to ferret out
the swindlers, If possible, and mete out
to them the punishment they justly de
serve. The practice of manufacturing
bogus deeds to floe timber lands in Col
quitt has existed too long now, causing
innocent men to suffer heavy losses
which they wore unable to boar, and jus
tice demands the correction and punish
meat of the rogues.
Tiie New Orleans States does not
take any stock in the wonderful state

sumes to know everything. The States
nays: “O'Malley's statement, timed so
os to follow on tiie heels of the report of
the grand jury, was prepared as a vin
dication, but the people quickly de
tected the fact that the vindication was
a mass of lies long drawn uut The ef
fort of this notorious character to divert
public attention and to work up sympa
thy for himself was a failure, conse
quently be will stink louder then ever
in the nostrils of the people.”
The rlrally between Lieutenant-Gov

recently wrote a letter to the secretary
of the Jeffersonian club at Wata-town,
N. Y n In which be gave the latter eome
severe raps on the knuckles. The letter
was private, but It has gotten Into print
and the lieutenant-governor confesses its
authorship. Mr. Flower may have some
thing spicy to say in reply. Thero are a
great many feuda and fusaes and wheela

The democrats must consider all this
before they go to New York for their
presidential candidate.
WHAT WATER COSTS.
Pr«s<dent Boardman, In answer to a ques
tion concerning the price of \vntcr, suld that
htn company could no* atford to pay 6 cent'
per 1,0>) gullous for It. He aal«l that the
company received lea* than 7 cent* per 1.UW
gallon* for the water furnUhed to the people
of Macon, and that It cost* about .‘I cent* of
It.at amount to pump It and pay operating
exnenaea.—Macon T* legraph.
The above is respectfully referred to
the Americus water commission, who
figure that water costs fifteen cents per
1,000 gallons here to supply It to con-
sumers.
Four hundred per cent, difference in
coat of pumping is rather too much, and
indicates that somebody is mistaken
Kitlier Americus pays too much, or
Macon too little; which is it?
If tho Macon company, a private cor
poration, can pump water at 3 cents per
thousand and furnish it to consumers at
less than 7 cents per thousand gallons
and make money for the stockholders,
who have their money thus invested,
why is it that the works in Americus,
that have been built by the city, are run
at an expense to tho tax payers, when
the charges are more than double those
In Macon?
It is reported that our city authorities
claim that they cannot furnish water at
less than fifteen cents per thousand
gallons without loss to the city.
If not, why not? is the question that
concerns our people. Tho reason can
not bft the want of consumers, as the
number now taking water something
over 400, seriously taxes the capacity of
our water supply.
As a public journal, whose only aim is
the welfaro of the people of our city,
Tiik Timkh-Recobokr calls attention to
this matter. It is a question that should
engage the attention of every citizen of
Americus.
The question that confronts our peo
ple is simply this: Our water works
have been in operation several years;
they have not only failed to pay ex
penses, but It is said money has been
taken from the city treasury to pay the
running expenses, and this,too,when the
charges to consumers are double those
paid by Macon consumers. Surely tho
above facts suggest the necessity of a
rigid examination by the management of
our works into the question of cost and
expense, with a view of a reduction, if
possible.
CItIBI* WILL UK SI'EAKKR
The Washington .Star, an Independent
newspaper, in an article on the speaker-
ship canvas, says of Judgo Crisp’s
chances: .
Crisp ft evidently a strong favorite, and
that he Is regarded so by the other candid
ate* Is shown by tho fact that ttfey area'l
fighting particularly against him. lie wll
probably not have the Georgia deieg«tlon
•olid}v tor him, as there Is Horae Jealousy,
and Mr Blount announces his own candi
dacy, though he has been making no can
vass for himself, and his announcement is
regarded as no more than a hcstlle demon
atratlon against his colleague. Crisp, liowov-
er, waa the leader of als party In the politic
al fights dU'Ing the last congress, aud gave
evidence of abilities which have scoured him
s rong supporters and many of them. His
friends contend that the chief question to be
considered la the choice of a speaker o'the
next house la his fitness for the position,
there being no political issues between the
candidates, they all agreeing on the greai
party question*, anu for him they claim the
qualities, whioh bo hM shown during his
career,whioh pre-eminently IU him forth#
speakership
4 n effort has been made to have It appear
that be was nofsound ou the tariff, but It
very easy to answer this from the record
showing that he stood exactly with Carlisle
It Is expected that he will have considerable
strength In the south aud south wot, and that
his ooolnesa and conservatism will make
him popular among the members who have
been elected from the north of ilaaon and
Dixon’s line. He will probably gets good
share of tbs New England votes, aid it is
»ald that the New York delegation will be
for him, with MoMUlan for second choice.
The popular notion seems to be that ha
stands about tbe best chanoe of election,and
In betting he would at th.s time probably be
the favorite. He has recent!* been speaking
in the west, and bis friends sat hs has gain
ed strength In that section One great ad
vantage ha will have la that most of the old
members are for him, and yet he would not
b» embarrassed by eld traditions and by
P edges.
EFFECTS OF Fit EE SUGAR.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin notes
several interesting results of the remov
al of the duty from tbe lower grades of
sugar. “Manufacturers of confection
ery,” wo are sweetly told, “now believe
sugar to be comparatively better and
more economical to use than glucose at
three cents per pound, which means tbe
opening of a large demand for sugars in
that field. For years tbe American
manufacturer of preserves has had to
compete in our own markets with tbe
English manufacturers, who bad tbe
great advantage of duty free sugars,
which constitutes about one-third of tbe
cost of tbe preserves. Now as wo are
able to get our sugars practically duty
free and substitute them for glucose,tbo
use of which has matje our domestic ar
ticle inferior to English goods in point
of sweetness, our canning and preserve
industry will greatly expand. Brewers
are also experimenting on the use of
sugar Instead of glucose In beer making,
as they want the sweetness of the form
er and are enabled to get It at what they
consider very reasonable prices. A heavy
demand is likely to result If the experi
ments are successful.”
Two BXPOBTEita on tbe Tribune-of-
Borne resigned Thursday night because
the manager allowed a paper to bel
printed on the Tribune press which con

WHAT MAKES LAND VALUABLE.
There is a strong disposition in Bos
ton to exempt personal property from
taxation, and the Globe of that city,
among other arguments in favor of the
proposed policy,says:
Futhermore, It 1* the presence of popula
tion and personal iroperty that gives value
to land Drive these away and what would
the land be worth? Laud has no vaIuc ex
cept what It absorbs from the*e sources. The
most fertile land Is worth little or nothing if
there Is no populati n and business near it.
Thus It s the height of folly lor farmers to
drive population, capital end buslnex* away,
as they surely will do If they xucceed in In
creasing the tax burden* ou movable
property.
The way to “boom New England" Is to
welcome capital and business, not drive
them away. In this view why U not the rule
stated by th-» writer In the American Agri
culturist a good one? “Neve • tax an-thing
that wou’d be a benefit to your state and
that couldatid would run away."
This matter of taxation !h one of the
most important economic problems of
the age. It is difficult to frame a scheme
of taxation that will be entirely just and
satisfactory, and perhaps it is impossible
for human wisdom to formulate such a
system. In the matter of personal prop
erty it must 1)0 admitted that taxation
drives it away, or causes its owners to
make very scanty returns. But it is a
rather startling proposition to say that
it should bear uone of the public bur
dens shared by the land owners.
As the south is practically a new coun
try, on account of our new conditions,
we cannot give too much time and at
tention to the study of the tax problem.
A general rise in land values would be
of incalculable benefit to us and it is
plain that we cannot expect it without
population and personal property, but it
is not every class of population nor ev
ery kind of personal pioperty that will
permanently increaso the value of land.
To be of much benefit to a country a
population must bo industrious, intelli
gent and lav/ abiding, and. its personal
property should bo very largely of such
a nature as to make it a factor In busi
ness and in material progress. This is
to bo considered in arranging a tax
schedule. We need tho right kind of
population anti personal property, but
some kinds would uotenhauce the value
of our lands nor in any way aid our pro
gress.
So it is a very big question, and needs
exceptional foresight and statesmanship
to deal with it.—Atlanta Constitution,
