The Episcopal convention to elect successor to the late Bisiiop Beckwith, will meet in Christ's church. Savannah, to-day. 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!- ties of the occasion, while Baltimore ex pressed the derire for the delegatee to pay their own expenses, If the conven tion should be held In that city. 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. In tue Baptist convention in Birming ham, Judge Jonathan Haralson, of Selma, Ala., was made president Gov. Northcn 1s one of the vice-presidents, and Dr. Burrows, of Augusta, is ono of tho secretaries. The American Baptist educational society is in session at the same time anil place.
