America*, Ga. Americus, Ga., May 16, 1801. It ih said the European diplomats at Washington have instituted a social boycott against the repreaentatlres of the Latin American republics. The department of state has been offi cially informed of the acceptance by the government of China of the invitation to participate in the World’s Columbian ex position. Cable dispatches from the European financial centres indicate a alight release from the strain of the past few days, but telegraphic communication with Lisbon is said to be impeded. Tiie senatorial contest in Florida re mains unchanged. Roth sides seem to be unyielding. The legislature may ad journ without an election. In that case, , A BOARD OP TKADK. Waycross has set Amcrlcus an ex ample of progress that It will be well to imitate. On Thursday a board of trade was temporarily organized, and another meeting will be held at an early day for the purpose of permanent organization, when it is expected that every business man in the city will be present. A copy of the by-laws of the board of trade of Savannah and other places has been ap plied for, for the guidance of organiza tion. The question of a board of trade has been quietly discussed often among our merchants, but no active steps have yet been taken. Shall our little wiregrass neighbor set a pattern for the metropolis of south west Georgia, that we haven't the enter prise to follow ? We should have led off in this matter; but better late than never. Wlmt say such live merchants as G. W. Glover, John K.. Shaw, Thornton Wheatley, I\ C. Clegg, A. Rylander, Geo. D. Wheatley, Butler Jc Berry, and in fact tbe whole list of Americas mer chants ? Xobody questions for a moment the advantage of such an organization; in fact, merchants from other cities ex press surprise that we can get along at all without a board. Organised effort is the order of the Governor Fleming would probably ap point some man who has cot been in the I day, and is the key note of success in race. ' everything. When business is dull, then is the Tiie much talked of microbe has a friend and defender in Mr. G. T. Chap man. of New York, who has published a little volume entitled “The Microbe Has His Rights." He insists they *are not the cause of disease but nature's scaven gers to clean out disease* LlKUTEN ANT-Go VEBNOK JONES, Of New York, is confined to his home In Binghampton by a severe cold. Ills physicians anticipate no serious results, however, and hope to have him on his feet again In.» few days. He will then be called upon to “pay the freight" to the doctors. Thk Albany News and Advertiser is crowing over the prospect of It child in that town being adopted by a wealth/ northern couple who have no children, who will leave it'their fortune. ™. f.to of the child i. with its i*»rent», weren’t $ openOoue of whmn loro fnr their nffinnn. i. tnn . .1. ™ whose lore for their offspring U too strong to easily give it up, .Ten V>, be come master of a great fortune, Thomas A. Carter, of Montana, It is stated, will be Secretary Noble's sue cessor in the cabinet, and the Birming ham News suggest* that he la a very ob- aoure statesman unices he ia the Carter, "who had the oats.” Anybody would do for Noble’s successor, It matter* not how obscure, he could not make a more complete failure than the present secre tary of Interior. Toe Itev. Dr, Culpepper, the evangel ist, in inveighing against the sin of Sab bath breaking, at the big meeting now in progress in Atlanta, put* down among the .ins of this claaa the drinking of nods water. Doesn't this smack too much of the Connecticut blue taws to •eult the liberal Christianity of the pres- •entf The millenium will have come when nobody does anything worse than drink soda water on 8unday. Mr. Blaine's sickness in New York brings to mind the fact that he has never been strong since his return from Europe to enter Precldent ilarri»on!a. cabinet, and his friends seriously doubt that he will be able to stand the strain of a presidential campaign. But If Mr. Blaine's health will permit; be will hardly allow this opportunity to gratify his old ambition to pass without an effort to capture the long sought' prize. It short be assumed from some of President Harrison's touring speeches that he is really a friend of free trade and broader markets. But so also it might be assumed from his letter of ac ceptance In 1888 that he was a real friend of civil-service reform, If only wo could shut our eye* to nil that has since taken place. Experience reveals a difference be tween promise and performance that forbid forming conclusions in Mich mat ters until after tbe event Dr. Ford, of St Louis, who was a delegate to tbe Southern Baptist con vention and still lingers in Birming ham, has taken a hand in the Baptist- Roman Catholic newspaper war now raging. He accept, the challenge of - Father Daley to a jolut discussion. Father Daley proposed that he would meet Dr. Holt, of Texas, with uo one present but a stenographer. Dr. Holt has'gone, and Dr. Ford takes up the gauntlet. He proposes that tlio Catho lic bishop select a man and the Baptist church one. Father Daley will be heard from to monow. timo to prepare to push it and compass new fields. Amcrlcus lias a great com' mercial future ahead of it provided our merchants continue to show that push and enterprise which have heretofore characterized them. Shall Americus merchant* be found wanting when the occasion calls for renewed efforts and activity? To resolve Is to act, and to act is to achieve, so let’s have the board of trade. ! •' A FINANCIAL VACUUM. The alliancemen will perhaps be less anxious to link farming operations with the treasury now that there ia nothing in the National strong box. Of what benefit would the sub-treasury hill be, when tbe bottom Is out of the tressury, and them wouldn't bo any money to Thebe is e widespred desiro through out the country for the adoption of some legislation by which the immigration from Europe may be restricted. One proposition is the adoption of an educa tional test, under which all immigrants shall b* required to bo able to road sad write tbe English language. Another proposition is the imposition of a heavy head tax upon all Immigrants. Another is that all Immigrants shall he required to possess a certificate of good moral character; a fourth that they shall have a monetary qualification of at least $500, The enforcement of any on* of propositions would undoubtedly debar i mors than three-fourths of the immi grants who an aswooering here. the,late billion dollar,, congress a scheme to knock' the', sub-treasury scheme of tbe farmers on ,tl)f head by taking away for the bext'flyi) yeat* the wherewithal to make the bill operative? "The pension steal will absorb all the surplus for year* to come, for fraudu lent pensioners seldom die and never re sign; and so it seems that all this hurrah about tbe sub-treasury bill mights. Well cease, os the abseuco of cash in the treasury will make its passage a nullity. The new* from Italy of Kudini’a ap peal to the European powers dor a con demnation of our system of government is accompanied by the information that about 1,400 Italians sailed on Friday from Naples to the United States. Itu- dlnl complains that the Federal govern ment cannot compel a state to punish a mob for killing some refugees from Italian justice At the same time a very large number of tbe Italian people are expressing their preference for this country, and are coming here while their government is insisting that no Italian’s life is safe in tbe Republic. There is a seeming Inconsistency in this, and an interesting subject for reflection, .While tbe Italian government la assert ing that foreign powers should compel the United States to proteot aliens against the wrath of mobs, the aliens are seeking a home here beyond tbe ju risdiction of the foreign powers. Erl- tdently the alien* prefer the free hazard of life in America to tbe armed security of monarchical Europe. American ingenuity teem* to have wonaalgoal victory in the matter of armor-plato. There has been another trial of plates, and once more tbe plate composed of stool containing an alloy of nickel has best withstood the projectiles fired against it. But at tho trial which took place at Annapolis on Friday of last week plates wero tested which were treated by a process of super ficial carbonization, the invention of H. A. Ilarvoy, of Newark, N. J. Tiie pure steel plate was smashed to pieces. The stoel plate treated with tbe process withstood better, but the treated nickle-steel plate came out of the trial practically uninjured, the projectiles be ing broken. The great value of this pro cess consists In tiie fact that the carbon ization takes placo of weight, so that, for instance, a ship will be just as well protected by its use with 25 per cent, of the weight of metal. Tlds will make it possible to greatly iuc^ease tho coal ca pacity and other accommodations.—New York World. BISHOP OAII.OK. The Episcopal convention has been in session in Savannah for the past two days to make a choice for bishop of the diocese of Georgia. After due consider ation and the most intelligent and searching inquiries into the capabilities and characteristics of the several church men who were presented as eligible to fill this divinoly responsible position, the convention almost unanimously con ferred the bishopric upon Dr. Thomas Gaiior, chancellor Sewance University, Tennessee. All Georgia is more or less Interested in the man who is to take tbe place of the late lamented Bishop Beck with, and will rejoice to know that the new bishop is most worthy of the trust. He will hold the faith, and will govern with love, wisdom and justice. Dr. Gaiior Is a Mississippfan,wss born in Jackson, and is now 34 years old. The Georgia churchmen could not have chosen a more worthy aud distinguished man. He is a learned, consecrated and energetic churchman, universally be loved by all who know biro. Dr. Gaiior is possessed of wonderful magnetism; one cannot converse with him without boiDg impressed with tho grea tness of his mind, heart and soul. Ho is a man tiiat speaks from the heart alone, and nevor fails to win the hearts of others to his own. Tennessee must reluctantly part witli this genial, social, talented divine. Georgia is certainly to bo congratulated on her selection of a bishop. AN AUVKICTISINO HINT. The New Orleans Now Delta thinks of tbe merchants generally who advertise their business, hut few of them regard advertising as a part of their business— that is, thoy do not put business meth ods and business brightness into their advertising. Judjclous.advertising pays every time, and he who knows how to advertise judiciously is a better equipped business min than is his mer chant neighbor who does not know when or how to advertise. A striking advertisement wllF run the gamut of popular attention and get into the air like a popular song. Advertisements have become as familiar os household words, and remained advertisements long after they bad disappeared from newspaper columns and from advertising billboards. One of the most formidable iron clads afloat is the Esmeralda of the Chilian navy, now in the control of the insur gent faotion, which seems about to get the best of the regular, or rather irregu lar government of Chili. The Esmer alda la the escort of the Itata which late ly got a cargo of munitions of war at San Francisco and put to sea with a United States marshal who had gone aboard to put tbe captain under arrest. This action 1s a casus belli, and tbe United States has started tiie Charles ton in pursuit. It Is probable that tbe cruiser Charleston may have a chance to try her - strength with the renowned Chilian iron clad Esmeralda. It is thought that the Esmeralda ia at the Mexican port of Acapulco waiting for tbe steamer Itata. If the Charleston doea not overtake the Itata before tbe latter, can place herself under the pro tection of the Esmeralda it will be diffi cult for her to avoid a battle with the formidable iosurgent iron clad. It ia tbe Impression in Washington that the Charleston's orders aro to retake the Itata under any circumstanoes if the can be found. The Charleston and the Es meralda are pretty evenly matched. Tbe guns of the former aro of a newer pat tern, but the difference in the size of the two vessels is not so great as to give the Charleston much advantage. In his Buffalo speech Mr. Cleveland set forth with remarkable clearness the dangers arising from profligacy in na tional appropriations. Asfds from the waste of monoy whioh involves an un necessary burden of taxation upon the people he showa that inch extravagance has a tendency to foater and encourage corruption in the administration of every department of the government. What the peoplo of the oountry chiefly admire about Cleveland iathat he always hot well grounded opinions upon evory subject and he can always assign a good reason for them.—Savannah Newa.
