That may be true as a general 1 thing, but when you take an inventory of your property and liud that you arc worth just three times as much as you were ten years ago then figures become more fascinating thau poetry and more thrilling than oratory. The south will back us up in these statements. When "It pulled Itoelf to gether after the war it found that it had nothing but bankruptcy and pluck as capital in trade.

Is the United States court at Charles ton W. Va., on Thursday, Warren M. Frame, of Raleigh county, was con Meted of violating the lottery law by sending letters through the United States mall to the Louisiana lottery, nod was fined $23 and costa by Judge Jack- son. This Is the first conviction for the offense known to have been made in the United States. Qruit Victoria has opened her heart and pn-se to the wayward hoy who will be her successor, and agreed to pay half ofhia “princely” Indebtedness, which amounts to neatly a million pounds, provided his highness will quit gam bling. The queen Is reported to be In very poor health, and having to part with so much of her hoarded wealth may do the work time has failed to ac complish. The Georgia, Carolina and Northern railroad runs near old Appalacliee church, in Hen Smith’s district, in Gwinnett county. In front it takes part of the land set apart for church purpos es. Id order to arrive at the damage sustained, assessors were appointed In the usual way. The Lawrenccvillo Her ald says that after investigation the as- •essors allowed the church ten dollars for damage to the land and ‘‘*100 for spiritual damage,” Having failed In their cfforts'to get up a naval combat between the United States and Italy, the newapapera have turned their attention to the Insnrgenta of Chili and are|itohlng for a row between the Charleston and Esmeralda out in the broad Pacino, but they will hardly bo gratlflod as the Insurgents’ gun boat will need all tbs shut aud shell she can gath er further down the coast There a few sailor editors and tho boys foci safe In getting up a row on the water. The Nashville American suggests: “The most brilliant Idea yet credited to the administration Is the proposition to mako Senator Blair superintendent of immlgraUon. Ills exclusive Ideas would show to fine advantage In that office. It only remains to give him headquarters at New Orloans, in close proximity to the Italia colony, and his proper niche In the govejnment will be filled, to say nothing of the probable occupancy later on of a quieter nicho out on tho SpaDtsh Fort road." The latest and most liberal estimate of the total cost of construction of the Nicaragua canal Is $100,000,000. That is a big aum, but It would be a really pal try outlay for the accomplishment of such a magnificent and very Important enterprise, and there is no doubt that the commerce passing through the canal would be sufficteut to pay a handsome dividend onsucb an amount. No amount of money la too great to expend in ac complishing such a commercial necessi ty as this cans). The only quostlop is its practicability.

Young men from the north on the lookout for a career are making in vestments there, helping to develop the country, and they alwayareceive a warm welcome.

The big event of the Mississippi cam paign, which has been waxing quite warm of late, will come off ou Saturday the 23rd instant, at Kosciusko. Senator George and Major Ethel Barksdale are billed to meet at that time and place and discuss tbs sub-treasury scheme, the former attacking and the latter defend ing the measure. This will bo the first of n number of joint appointments that have been ar ranged between the two. Both are good speakers and men of character and force who have been for a long while be fore the Mississippi public. Tho result of the contest will be folt throughout the south, and tbo discus sion will be watched from all quarters. There are very few people who under, stand the sub-treasury scheme, except the picture of an Immense warehouse which looms up in their imagination, where the farmers can store cotton and corn, wheat, oats, etc., and draw a big pile of money from the government, and this discussion may throw the needed light upon the scheme. It Is to be hoped that tbo speakers will maintain a friendly feeling toward each other and thus keep down anything like a division In the democratic ranks of that state A good humored discussion will enlighten tho peoplo, but should ill feeling arise between the speakers it will be Imparted to the peoplo and probably be the cause of a great deal of barm. Gentlemen, keep cool. Pahnell’s.cause is evidently waning and it now appears as If division in the Irish ranks will soon end. The New York Timet says; “The defection of the brothera Harrington from Parnell la tho most conspicuous notification that bos yet been made that the Irish leader now remains without a following in his own country. One of the Harringtons was the only one of tho Irish envoys who were in this country | when Mr. Gladstone declined to co-oporate any longer witli Parnell who declined to acquiesce In the decision of the liberal leadev. Since lie has returned to ills own country and seen what the actual effect of Parnell's headstrong selfishness has been upon the Irish cause, Mr. Uarringtou has simply vindi cated his own character for patriotism as well as for sanity by giving in bis ad hesion to the party upon which the hopes of Ireland unquestionably dopond. It will bo a long time yet before the Irish party is as strong as it was before Parnell loet the leadership, for he was trusted by the Irish people more Im- plicity than any new man could bo.

Tiie receipts of all the interior towns for tiie week were 23,332 bales. Last year tiie receipts of tiie same week were 5,071 bales. Among the interior towns the receipts at Macon for tiie week were 150 bales. Last year tiie receipts for the week were 10 bales.

Last year tiie receipts from the plantations for the same week were hales, and for 1830 they wore 5,001 bales.

PLOTTING AGAINST THE ALLIANCE, The Lincoln, Neb., Independent is re sponsible for the following: We are reliably Informed that a meeting of prominent politicians was held In Omaha not lent ago to devise ways and means of de stroylog the alllanes and the Independent party. They Anally hit on this plan: they will pick out certain men in each alliance and suggest to them that they ought to run for office.. They will keepon In this way un til they gets whole raft of fellows after ev ery office. Then they will schem- around end get eome man efier tlielr own heart nom inated. Whereupon nil the disappointed candidates wilt get Into a row and split up the pa-ty. Those fellowt bate evidently studied human nature end had a good deal ofexperl-nce besldoi. They will undoubt edly try these tnct'rs Will they succeed? Thniull depends on the good sense of the people. Every true alllHnceman should look upon mere office tin dlu < as a matter of very small Importance eempi-ed with the tri umph of reform prlnctp'es. and fr twn down any disposition toHaorlflce the latter t» tho former. That sort of a scheme is very much liko a lot of politicians, but it can’t work because the alliance is too strong and it is principles, not men, that the farm ers are after.

The billion dollar cougress uf the re publicans is still the theme of public discussion and will be to the end of the next campaign. If the people could only take in that stupendous sum and know really what It means they would not again touch tho treacherous party that did it under any persuasion or - al lurement. The betrayal of the people iscompleto. The waste and extrava gance are so enormous that oven a re publican paper here and there ia con strained to consider it. The Washington post is edited by an ex-Postmaster General and a re publican. He puts tho case thus: “The annual expenditure of the United States are at present in round numbers $450,000,000. The annual expenditures for the noxt two years will be aboue $500,000,000. So gradually has this enor mous expenditure grown that the people have become Insensible to iU magni tude. Something of the latter may be comprehended by comparison. The United States Is the greatest wheat pro ducing country In the world. It is the greatest oat producing country in the world. The value of last year’s wheat crop was $334,000,000; tho oat crop $222,- 000,000. It will take nearly the entire crop of wheat'and onts ln this country to pay next year’s' expenses of tho govern- ment." ’ Giikex B.
