The following is taken from a Wash*

1S79. | Journal: There is considerable specu-
j lation here regarding the alliance con-
___ I vention to be held at Cincinnati. Jerry
| Simpson, the alliance congressman-elect
fc.oo ; from Kansas has returned to the city.

‘•J grown, not made; that they are now

in February, will adopt a platform and

Rome is to build a new court house,

SILVER OR THP- TARIFF.
The Republicans who hoped to seethe
Democrats divide on the silver question
are very much disappointed, and are
disgusted by the fact that it is growing
more evident every day that the Demo
cratic party is a unit in favor of tariff j
reform, and that it is the issue which '313 LcHTlcir St«
they will bring to the front In 18D2 In ]
advance of every other question and
that it will be the battle cry of the cam
paign. There is now comparatively very
little being said about the free coinage of
silver, while discussion of the tariff
question is growing daily more general
and more interesting. The people are
being educated up to see the enormities
of the present tariff system, a condition
resulting largely from the object lessons
in higher prices .and lower wages result
ing from the McKinley bill
The tariff Is the vital issue of the next
campaign, and unless our taxes are re
duced it will be a matter of little import
to the public whether the money of the
country is silver, gold or paper, as the
'ublication, a newspaper as-1 government will get it all in the way of
of which Mr. Macune is the taxes and leave the people without mon-
! ey of any sort.

Tna Brunswick Times regrets to no-
tice the vicious attack of the Atlanta
Constitution upon Hon. Chas. F. Crisp
in the shape of a picture of that gentle
man In Wednesday’s paper. The Times
thinks that if be can survive the effects
of so ferocious an attack upon his per
sonal appearance, his chances are good.

Emory Is confident of success this tlmo.
Tiie great bulk of southern alliance-
men are true democrat* and have shown
no disposition to bolt tiie party, but it
can baldly be expected that they will
continue such if tb* democratic party,
through fear of offending the gold hug
. money lenders of the east, should fail to
declare itself Id favor of the free coinage
of silver as a measure of financial relief
to the country.
Tna New York Herald continues to
insist that at least one-third of the enor
mous amount paid out by the govern
ment for pensions is paid on fraudulent
claims. The democratic house will havo
a fine opportunity to prove whether this
be true or not. If true, tbe frauds
.should be dropped from the tolls and
the money saved. There can be no two
opinions about that.
Ix THE Tribuae-oI-Itomo ul Wednes
day appear tiie announcements of tiie re
tirement of Mr. C. L. Frost, business
manager, and Mr. A, I. Branham as edi
tor of that paper. It is said that Mr.
Branham will go to the Chattanooga
Times at an early date. Georgia will
part with him regretfully, as lie is one of
the most brilliant editorial writers ill tiie

and Henry Grady.

door was guarded by a negro who would
notallow Mr. Dougherty admittance.
Tbe latter commenced to abuse the ne
gro, and Senator Hawley, who happened
to be near, triod to pacify him, but be
turned bis wrath upon the senator and
abused him roundly. Senator Call over
heard tiie remarks of Mr. Dougherty
and came to the rescue of Senator Haw
ley. This made Dougherty worse and
be has nursed his grievance against
Senator Call evor since. He Is now
speaker of the house in the Florida leg

It is said that the Ignoble Noble is to
retire from the president's cabinet at an
early date, bee ause the presdent and ids
subalterns in his department can get
along together. This is not surprising,
for the disposition manifested by Noble
to meddle with affairs wholly without
concern to him was fully shown when
he undertook to force Ge orgia to accept
bis arbitrary division of the public
school fund between the blscks and
whites of Georgia in a ratio fixed by
himself. When an official so far trrns
cends his powers and prerogatives It in
dicates a degree of officiousness that
would prevent him from getting along
with anybody except on his own terms.
Let old Noble go, is the ardent voice of
all decent imople. »
Ox next Tuesday the citizons of Rhode
island will vote upon the question of
new constitution. Tbe present consti
tution which has been in existence since
1831, provides that a constitutional con
vention cannot be called unless there
shall be cast for it a majority of all tbe
votes of tbe state. The question was
submitted to the people in 1887, and re
ceived 14,431 in favor of a convention,
while only 308 votes were cast against
it. It required IS,040 votes to bold the
convention, and tbe leaders hope to
arouse the people to the necessity of
chsnge in tlio old constitution to get the
requisite majority next Tuesday.

Miss Sadie Polk Kai.i.
in Nashville to Mr. M. M. Gardner, both
of that city. The bride is the grand
niece of Mrs. President James K. Polk.
The venerable lady, despite the weight
of 88 years, graced the event with her
presence and bestowed her benediction.
The nuptials were the most brilliant
that have occurred iu Nashville in a
quarter of a century. Many guests
-from fc&Jtauee were present.
A PjtoviDEXca, K. L, man drowned
- himself in a river the other day rather
than serve on the jory. He was drawn
- in the regular panel, and when called
presented a physician's certificate that
he was unable do Jury duty, bat was not
excused. He left the court room saying
that bo would not return and that was
tbe last seen of him alive. His body
recovered a few days later.
By a vote of forty-four to thirty the
Now York presbytory decided to try Dr.
Briggs for heresy contained in his in
augural address, and a committee was
appointed to prefer charges isgqlut him.
That action is likely to provo of momen
tous consequences to Presbyterianism in
America. It Is |:he beginning of a
contest which, if waged to the ond wttu
the zeal and determination that have
characterized its opening, can only re
sult in cither a revision of tiie establish
ed creed ora splitting of the church.
Sechetakv lit. vine is ill New York,
at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. Wal
ter Damrosch, sick, and President Har
rison is still running over tiie west..
Thus the government is deprived of the
two leading powers in Its administra
tion, but rocks along as sorenely as if
both were at their pests. Mr. lltaine's
sickness is not at all serious, hut lie will
not bo able to return to Washington for
several days yet.
not believo that the party could win
with Cleveland as the loader. And his
reasons for tlieso views are good. He
says that by adopting free coinage the
democrats will lose the eastern states,
and thinks that the wiser policy would
bo to insert a conservative clause for the
coinage of silver equal to tbe demands of
the country, which would satisfy the
west and still retain tbe support of tbe
east As for Cleveland, Mr. Watterson
is opposed to another campaign with a
mugwump leader.
The Ogden, Utah, university people
are still after Sam Small about misap
propriating tbe fund* of that institu
tion, and tho Rev. Small comes back at
them with the barefaced lie, and says
they have nothing bat a bole in tbe
ground. Sambas resigned tbe presi
dency of the college, bnt the directors
refuse to accept his resignation until he
has properly accounted for tbe funds
which came into his hands, and thus
the matter remains unsettled. Sam
Small Is now in Canada and refuses to
appear before a meeting of the direc
tors. The whole business is in a muss,
and a settlement seems to be in the dis
tant future.

point of Price) to trade with us.

Majoh W. L. Gi.essnsh, who tvas se
lected by tbe World's fair convention to
get up the blank petitions to be sent to
every cotraty in Georgia earnestly re
questing the members of the legislature
to vote for the 8100,000 appropriation
asked by the convention, is losing no
time. The people of Rome approve of
tl.e action of the convention heartily.
The people want Goorgia represented.
They will sign these petitions, and then
their representatives in the legislature in
voting for an appropriation will simply
bo carrying out tho wishes of their con
stituent*.—Tribune of-Itome.
President Haiiiiison in a speech at
Sait Lake City stated that he was proud
of tbe fact that so many territories had
been admitted to the sisterhood of states
under his administration, bnt he failed
to say that the rotten boroughs were
taken in for the purpose of packing the
senate of the United States in tbe in
terest of the beneficiaries of the protec
tive tariff, and to make the McKinley
law stand, if possible, for the next ten
yean. WbatjMr. Harrison boasts of is
one of the scandals of his administra
tion.
Advices from Lisbon state that se
vere censorahlp has been placed over
telegrams sent from or Into that city.
Even news telegrams destined for the
official journal have been Btopped. The
well known political economist, Coello,
has written a letter, in which he says
that Portugal has a colossal deficit, ruin
ous loans contracted upon humiliating
terms, and that she is confronted by a
monetary, industrial and political crisis
of tho most threatening kind.
