lx the house of lords Lord Knots-
ford’s coercive bill relating to New
foundland passed its third reading.
The Episcopal convention to elect
successor to the late Bisiiop Beckwith,
will meet in Christ's church. Savannah,

Judge Fa i.mg am has refused an in
junction to restrain the Central railroad
of Georgia from issuing thirteen million
dollars in bonds.
The temporary suspension of the de
cree for expelling the Jews from Russia
is believed to be the prelude to a perma
nent revocation of the decree.
TIIK LONESOME ACT.
Congressman Thomas E. Watson has
managed to place himself in a hopeless
ly lonesome position on the speak
ership question
lie lias declared his inability to vote
for Judge Crisp for speaker because the
judge does not stand on the Ocala plat
form.
But Mills, of Texas, McMillln, of Ten
nessee, Bynum, of Indiana, and Spring
er, of Illinois—all of them candidates
for speaker—repudiate the Ocala plat
form. So all of them share in the con
demnation of Crisp.
The republicans will nominate Reed,
and he, too, repudiates the Ocala plat
form.
What, ihen, will Brother Watson do?
He will probably dock off to himself
and vote for Elder Livingston. The
elder will stand on anything to get votes,
and ho would as soon have Tommy’s as
anybody’s else.
When Congressman Watson performs
that lonely act, he will be more or less
famous. And his district will be won
derfully proud of him.—Sparta Ishmael-
ite.
A MILLION OR MORE.
A million bales more of cotton in
sight than at this time last year is not a
pleasing prospect for those, who expect
to plant a crop of the fleecy staple. The J
alliances of the country bad It in their j
power to regulate the production if they j
had seen proper to do so. This is one j O 1 *D LflmSr St*
of the advantages to come from the com-1
bination of farmers, for it is perfectly j
legitimate for them to agree to plant
more of one thing and less of another if
their information is such .as to warrant
thorn !q eo doiug. It appears, however, j am i, H , ollr large and elegant stock of
that thero has been but little concert of ■
We will prove the above assertion to be a fact if you will call and ex-
Tiin Peruvian government has of
ficially accepted the invitation of the
United States to participate in the
World's exposition at Chicago.
Owing to the alarming state of the
financial situation in Portugal the gov.
eminent has issued a decree granting a
delay of sixty days in the payment of all
obligations.
Tbe well-known Xew York bouse of
Francis H. Leggett A Co., had a fire in
their establishment Saturday night re-
aulting in a losa of $300,000, covered by
insurance in seventy-four companies.
Representative Jkbky Simpson is
like tbe other alliance leaders, opposed
to beginning the third party movement
at the Cincinnati alliance convention,
although be will favor It at tlio Wash
ington convention next rear.
In New York state 00 per cent, of tbe
farms are mortgaged for more than they
wonld actually bring if sold now. They
were mortgaged when farm lands
were high and many of them are now
not worth half what they wore then.
Supt. W. W. Stabb, of the Central
railroad, eatimates that there aro about
8,000 acres planted in melons along the
Central system, about three-fourths of
which aro on the southwestern division.
The remainder are seattored along tho
main stem, the Savannah and Wostern,
and the Carolina division.
Some years ago the Standard Oil Com
pany put out certificates to the extent
Of $70,000,000. Sinco then these certifi
cates have been watered $20,000,000, and
yet they sell to-day at 00 above par and
pay 12 per cent, dividends. Monopoly
Is a very beautiful thing for tbe monopo
lists.—Baltimore American.
The Southern Baptist convention baa
Jnitdosed its session In Birmingham.
Its next session will be held in Atlanta.
.Among other matters of general public
Interest, Dr. J B. Cianfell, of Texas, In
troduced a resolution calling on the
World’e fair management not to open Ita
gates on Sunday,, and it was unsnl-
mostly adopted.
TaaSnpremo Council of tbe Royal
Arcanum will meet In Atlantio City, N.
J., on June 3rd. This is one of the best
of tbe fraternal orders; has nearly
113,000 members in the United 8tales,
over 3,000 of whom are in Georgia, and
are 'among our moat prominent and
active men. A flourishing council of
some fifty members exists In this city.
Mr. Conte, the Italian consul at New
Orleans, has been called to Rome to give
his version of the New Orleans killing.
U Italy wonld recall tbe members of the
-mafia which Infest this country the
United States could afford to pay a good
turn for the service, and as it seems that
It Is money that Italy moat needs and
wants the should try her hand st remov
ing the dagoes.
The railroads are preparing to handle
tbe largest watermelon crop this
year they have ever handled. Advices
received from growers and agents show
that the acreage this year exceeds that
of last year by about 8,000 acres, and
that the total acreage in the state Is be
tween 18,000 and 20,000 acres. Tbe - re
ports also show that the crop la In
good condition, and with fair prospects
of a large yield.
If Senator Call ever gets Into another
snob tussle as the present senatorial con
test in Florida, he will hardly allow bla
friends to adopt the two-thirds rule.
Senator Colquitt, of Georgia, would
have given him the advantage of his ex
perience with the two-thirds rule in a
state convention a few years ago, if he
had only known it in time, and perhaps
prevented the tedious contest which the
people of Florida arc now paying for.
Mb. C. H. Russell, chief clerk and
cashier of tbe Georgia Pacific railroad
in Birmingham, Ala., was aand-bagged
and robbed In hie office in that city Mon*
day night Tho robbers also set fire to
the building, which was badly damaged
and the loss is estimated at $13,000.
The Birmingham burglars are bold, and
hardly a day passes that some crime to
not chronicled from that city. A vigi
lance committee conld do some mnob
needed work over there, and it to one of
Birmingham's greatest needs.
•Statistician Shepporsun of tho New
York cotton excharge, has made a now
estimate of the cotton crop for 1800-91,
in which lie says that the cotton move
ment continues so astonishingly largo
that it seems now quite evident tbe
crop of 1 HOO-f* 1 will exceed by over 730,
000 bales the average of tile ostimate
made last November by the cotton mer
chants of New York, New Orleans and
Memphis. Mr. Sliepperson is consider
ed an authority on cotton statistics. In
his last estimates, which be made last
week.be says: “I .cannot recall a crop
concerning which tbe well informed
public opinion of tbe cotton trade of
the county has been so much astray.
Tbe phenomenally large yield was due
to a combination of favorable condition*
for growth and maturity which may not
exist again for many years,"
The water question to a troublesome
one with Macon just now. The water
works of tbat city aro owned by
private company. The supply of water
from the present source in insufficient
and cannot be Increased without con
siderable extra expense. Tbe company
is not inclined to spend any more money
on tho plan IT, and proposes to supply the
city from the river which to close by tbe
pumping station. The people do not
like the Idea of using river water and
are now talking of forming a new com
pany for tho purpose of establishing a
larger plant, and giving the city a sup
ply of spring water sufficient for all pur
poses.
Speaking of tho organization of the
next liouso, Jerry Simpson says that he
supposed that tho democrats might elect
Mr, Crisp os speaker, as ho was a strong,
well-balancod, brainy and conservative
man. As to the farmers' alliance, they
would act togothor. Their number was
not definitely known, but thero would bq
thirty-tivo or forty of them. He thought
they would demand some concessions
from tbe candidate they aupported, and
if they could not get those concessions
they would bolt the democratic caucus.
He thought probably it would be easier
to get conceatlons from Mr. Springer
than from olther Mr. Mills or Mr. Crisp.
“Socki.ess Jeremiah" has boon trav
elling through protection New England,
and this to what he says about the
drift of events there, “The north will
discover that protection to os much a
mistake for It af slavery was for the
south. The democratic party to now a
free trade party. It to and will be the
conservative party, and a new party will
accomplish the reforms tbat are neces
sary. A tariff for revenue to not free
trade. Tbe free trade party will have
no use whatever for custom houses.
Protection will bave to be uprootod, as
slavery was, by bold, radical action, not
little by little."
The United States supreme court de
cided an Important case from Pennsyl
vania Monday. The case was that of
the Pullman Car company against tho
state, involving die validity and consti
tutionality of tho state law taxing the
company on the basis proportionate to
the total number of miles of road within
the state over which the cars are run,
compared with the total number of miles
of road In the United States over whioh
they run. The court holds that the law
to valid, and to not a regulation of com
merce, but an equitable method of tax
ing tho property of the company within
the state.
The Chicago Tribune says:
"Georgia towns are preparing to organize
war on the Knsllsh sparrow. The war Is
one tbat ought to enlist the active services
of every colonel In the state."
If every colonel will pick out his spar
row and murder him, the question will
bo Immediately settled. Max O’Uell
says that there are 110,000,000 of people
in tlie United States, mostly colonels,
and os Georgia is up to the average in
colonels as well as in sparrows, there is
about ono warlike colonel to every spar
row. Let the, war proceed.
In Tlix Southern Baptist convention,
at Birmingham, Monday, Baltimore and
Atlanta were put in nomination os tho
place for holding the next meeting, and
tbe totter won by an almost unanimous
vote. It will be held on Friday before
the second Sunday in May, 1802. At
lanta's invitation threw In the hospital!-

action on the subject, one of the most
Important ever presented for their con
sideration. There was no politics, hut
a plain, practical matter of business,
having reference to to the planting of
such a crop as would ensure better
prices than now prevail.—Augusta Eve
ning Nows.
The point upon which tho supreme I
court of Nebraska decided that Gov-i
orno-eleet Boyd was disqualified, was 1
that lie had never been properly natur-,
aiized. His father, an Irishman by!
birth, came to this country when his
now tiie governor-elect, was only I
twelve yea-s of age. The elder Boyd
took out the first papers in the process
of naturalization soon thereafter, hut
did not complete his naturalization until
October of last year. The supreme
court sustains the point that this neg
lect makes Ids son an alien, though 'he
has for thirty years boen a voter and a
holder of important offices in Nebraska.
As was confidently anticipated by
every one at all informed upon the sub
ject, the grand jury at New Orleans has
flatly refused, after thorough and pa
tlent investigation, to Indict any one
charged with participation in the scenes
at tbe parish prison last March. There
to such a thing as publlo opinion in this
country that Is above tbe mere forms of
law. Fubllc opinion has vindicated tbe
New Orleans mob, and it to behind Mr.
Blaine in his diplomatic correspondence
with the Italian premier, and when Mr.
Blaine has public opinion at bis back
he Is a Jingo and a half.—Wilmi ngton
Messenger..
Hon. Evan Howell, of the Atlanta
Constitution, Is credited with saying
that Secretary Blaine “is the only true
statesman” In this country, and somo of
the papers aro disposed to speak un
kindly of him for the utterance. If Mr.
nowell admires Mr. Blaine ho has a
perfect right to do so, and it does not
necessarily make him endorse 3fr.
Blaine’s politics to give him credit for
being a statesman. Perhaps Mr. How
ell Intended to convey the impression
that there wero mighty fow true states
men in this country, and if lie did he Is
not far from a correct statement of the
facts.
One of the chief reasons why so
many young men fail, la tbe false idea
they have of the requirements neces
sary for a successful business career. If
every young man would stop and think
soberly and earnestly he would readily
understand that when he leaves his
father's door he comes in competition
with men of experience and knowledge
with which he is unacquainted. The
young man who to seeking an easy road
to success will lmost acertainly end in
failure. He should be taught from early
childhood that life is a struggle and suc
cess to attained by few.
Tan Italian consul at New,.Orleans
has been recalled by his government,
and the functions of his office will be ex
ercised by another Italian consular
officer, now In tbe United States. This
action was not Inspired by the govern
ment of the United States, and to prob
ably taken by the Italian government
either because It was felt tbat the con
sul had been Indiscreet in his pnblio
utterances, or that his usefulness had
been Impaired.
Joe Muluattox, the king of liars,
who was recently reported to be Insane
at Chicago, must be getting better, be
cause the story telegraphed from Mem
phis about the sick girl whose fever
went up to 156 in the shade, and smash
ed spveral thermometers whtbh were
placed In her mouth, sounds very much
like one of bis Munchausen tales which
ho is so fond of palming off on the
credulous newspaper man.
