Tiik log cabin built by I 'lyses S. Grant
out in Missouri thirty-live years ago, lias
been sold for $">,000.
The Chattanooga Evening -News is
correcting the Georgia papers for spell
ing Bishop Gailor's name with a “y."
The citizens of Augusta want their
street ears to move faster, but the city
council objects. There is no law against
fast walking.
The Dawson Journal thinks that
Georgians ought to patronize Scott
Thoruton because lie “is home industry
as well as infant one.”
Hakkiso.n and Quay are going to “put
their heads together" in a few days for
the purpose of laying out the work of
renominating little Ben. Both of them
are likely to get “laid out" before they
get through witii their job.
J, Bhoiieh Brown, of Columbus, has
closed a contract for an Episcopal church
in the suburbs to cost $20,000. This is a
present from Mr. Brown to the Kpisco-
, palians. This is also a mighty good way
to build yourself a monument before you
die.
When Mr. Harrison's term as presi
dent expires he will sink deeper into
obscurity than the chicken raiser of
Ohio, and son Itusscll will not be far in
the rear. Small men seldom fool the
people of this country twice in suc
cession.
Sam Jones said in Chattanooga the
other day: “When I see an old maid I
think of some man who hasn't done his
** duty. When I see an old bachelor I
think of a hog." Young man, are you
preparing to do yonr duty, or are you
only a hog?
The prohibition campaign which has
been threatening Atlanta has been declar
ed off for a time at least. A petition of the
prohibitionists to reduce the terms of
the liquor license from twelve to six
months has been granted by the city
council as a conciliatory measure and
the former are satisfied to “bide a wee.
Senator Gobuan can hardly be
counted a presidential possibility. He
would be a good man for the place, but
unfortunately he lives in the wrong
state. When the democratic party has
gained sufficient strength to nominate
Its candidate regardless of stato lines,
, then Senator Gorman will be In the front
rank of candidates for the nomination.
A bather shabby and ungenteel look
ing emigrant named Arestud Croucno-
bnrg arrived In New York en route from
Belgium to Ashville, N. C. The barge
•officers, thinking he was a pauper, asked
• him tf be had any money, when he pro-
duccd a roll of $50 and $100 bills amount
ing to $10,000. He pasted. It U not nl
-ways.best to judge by appearance.
Mayor Hemphill, of Atlanta, Is s
•man of progressive ideas and If carried
out the Gate City will be greatly bone-
fitted by hie administration. In a mes
sage to the elty conncil on Monday he
iplalnly shows tho necessity for a new
mad improved police station, new water
works, city hospital and cemetery which
would be in keeping with the growth of
the city, and It his Ideas are carried out
Atlanta will reap the benefits for years
to come.
The new states of the west are not in
clined to receive the brother in black
with open arms, and like their brothers
of the cast do not care to work by his
tide or como in competlon with Ids la
bor. A recent importation of negroes
to work in the mines near Beattie, Wash.,
have to be guarded with troops in pass
ing from their homes to their work.
The only seotlou of the United States
where the negro really bos his rights is
in the south.
Tiik third party meeting which as
sembled in Cincinnati yesterday lias a
large attendance, nnd nearly every state
In the union Is represented. The larger
number of attendants who ndvocate the
third party move are from tho western
states, and are disaffected republicans
who, being tired of their own party, and
not wanting to bo termed democrats,
can sec no other course left upon to
them except to get up a new party anil
call it by tome other name. If the new
party is formed it will hardly have many
adherents outside of a few western
states.
Ex-Conoressman Judson C. Clem
ents, of tbo Seventh Georgia district,
who is at present commissioned by the
government to purchase the laud for tho
•Chlcamauga National park, reports that
the landowners are about to breakup
the project. He says that land which was
-optioned two yean ago at $25 an acre is
now held at $79 and $100, and that the
appropriation la insufficient to make
the necessary purchase at the advanced
price. If the farmers who own the land
contend for tho Incteaaed price they
may miss an opportunity to sell Hats
fair valuation, anil thus be the losen by
-their greed.
THE TARIFF IS THE ISSUE.
In a recent interview Senator Colquitt
declares that the democrats will display
great folly If they allow the silver ques
tion to bo overshadowed by tire tariff,
and lie expresses the opinion that if the
democracy docs not nominate a free
coinage man for the presidency they can
not hope to win. Tho ablest leaders of
the democratic party, however, while
recognizing the importance of the silver
question do not entertain the same views
as Senator Colqui tt. They are cognizant
of the fact that, the republicans are do
ing all they can to agitate the silver ques
tion in the ranks of the democracy in
order, If possible, to keep the tariff issuo
in the background.
The success of the democratic party
in the next campaign depends on it
keeping tho tariff issue, upon which it
lias already won a glorious victory,
square to the front from the beginning
to the end of the presidential light.
While tho democrats all over the coun
try are a unit in favor of tariff reform,
they are divided on the silver question,
consequently tho prominent men of the
party north and south appreciate the
fact that defeat awaits the democrats if
on the eve of the presidential contest an
issue is put forward which will cause
dissension in the party ranks.
The democracy is not on record as
being opposed to the free coinage of sil
ver, but as it Is not a party question, but
on the contrary a matter upon which
opinions differ widely, tho tlioiighful
leaders of|tho democratic party have
suggested, and we think wisely, that free
silver is a question winch should be
fought out in the congressional elections,
and in this way it will be made a subor
dinate issue in the national convention
and tbo danger of it causing a rupture in
the party will be avoided. This Is the
plan suggested by the thinking men of
tho democracy and there is every reason
to believe that it will be adopted.
PENSION FRAUD*.
The next house, says the Louisville
Courier-Journal, will have do duty to
perform more Imperative than the in
vestigation of the pension bureau.
The pension list has gro wn to such
enormous proportions that the people
who bare it to pay, demand some assur
ance that It is honest.
Even the republican journals begin to
see the fraudulent character of this
whole business, and are demanding a re
vision. The following paragraph is taken
for illustration from the Chicago Tri
bune:
The abuses of tho pension system are il
lustrated by tbemsnner In which 115 one.
handred-day msn from Ohio have been rein
stated on the rolls. Their scheme to set
a pension was carefully orgaaized, and they
sncceeded In setting on sometlmo ago. From
tvldence fiirnObed him. Uen. mack ordered
these claims held up pending an Invest!
gstlol, which was still pending when Cor
poral Tanner came Into office. As the
result of tho Investigation they Anally
were dropped, but nowthev have manag-d
by some kind or InAueoce to get back on the
ro'ls again. They are to araw pensions for
the rest or their lives Tor one hundred days'
plsy In Washington, In which they never
dredashot and nevor saw a rebel, nnd In
which not one or them was even sick. Ry
rraud and deceit they got on the rolls origin
ally. Then ihey were nung up and rejected,
and now here they are again In some myste
rious manner grubbing from the treasury to
pay them tar their hur.dred-day picnic. They
are patriots ror revenue only. It Is Just such
outrages as this which have brought acundal
on tho pension business. ir tho rolls were
Investigated and cleaned up under a rulr
construction orthe law, rullyone-fourth the
names would be takes off as having no legal
right there.
Gen. Black was a democrat appointed
by Mr. Cleveland; Corporal Tanner was
appointed by Mr. Harrison, with tho In
junction “bo liberal with the boys ”
Mr. Cleveland vetoed the pauper pen
sion bill; Mr Harrison signed it.
Itevlse the pension list!
Maioii W. L. Ulkssner, who return
ed from Chicago Sunday evening, has a
nice trip flxed up for the Georgia proas
boys, and in speaking of the program
says: “I have arranged for compliment
ary transportation over all tho roads,
and wo shall carry tho boys flrstto
Chicago, where a couplo of days will
bo spent as guests of the World's fair
managers. Then wo shall take a steam
er for a trip round through tho groat
lakes. Wo shall spend ono day at De
troit, and thon go down to Tut-in-bay,
where wo will be entertained by the
Ohio Press club. From thence wo go to
Sandusky, the contcr of tho Ohio wine
country, aud back via Cincinnati. Alto
gether tho trip will consume about six
teen days, and the actual expenses of
the hoys will no exceed $50 each. Wo
shall travel in special Pullman cars and
go to the best hotels. No ladies will be
expected on this trip."
It is a noteworthy fact that at the
election of last Novembor every one of
tile thirteen original states of the fed
eral union was carried by the democrats.
Ten of these states now liavo democratic
governors, namely, New York, Pennsyl
vania, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
North Carolina, Virginia, Delaware,
Maryland, South Carolina and Georgia.
Two of tho three remaining states, Con
necticut and lthode Island, were carried
liy the democracy on the popular vote
and would have democratic governors 1
bnt for the majority clause in their re- j
spcctivo constitutions. The remaining 1
state, New Hampshire, although demo
cratic on the vote for congress, was car
ried by the republicans for governor by
the slender plurality of ninety-three
votes In a total poll of 88,000.
A bill hat passed the Florida legis
lature abolishing the railroad commis
sion of that state.
8AM JONES IN CHATTANOOGA.
Rev. Sam Jones is working; with bis
old time vigor among saints and sinners
in Chattanooga, Tenn. Services have
been held for the past ten days In a tab
ernacle with a seating capacity of fire
thousand, and the papers of that city
report that it is packed at every service.
The different churches of the city have
received quite a number of accessions as
a result of the meeting, and all of the
ministers are heart and soul in the work.
From a recent sermon wc make the fol
lowing extracts:
Nemail ta'ed sin is unthlnkahls In tne uni
verse. Ill falloffttie Richardson block and
Unlit on a fellow and kill him, that's asces-
sltated murder. It’s something you can’t
help dolngto save your life. Homd aid fel
low speaks of batnf overtaken by fault—It's
a He, you overtake the fault. If God couldn't
have .given you grace enough In overcome
the devil be would have knocked the old fel
low out and boxed blm np long ago. The
divll Is voryc«sentl tl In this world to fur
nish work for the preachers, policemen and
Juliets. A hero don’t want his enemies. He
Just wants a lair chance with n gun a dam
munition. Home of you little fellows will lie
little tin soldiers In heaven. You sing, “Loid
l must Agbt It I would win," and then lake
toyour heels. You say the Lord can depend
on you to cut and shoot—yes. to cut home
and shoot under the bed I f there's sny reli
gious lighting tobs done.
I ain't afraid of but one thing In the world
—that Is that I may eay something that I
ought nut to sav. I ain't afraid I won't give
the devil 111» du-s, hut I may sav the wrong
thing at sirae Inopportune Mine. 1'inno,
afraid of inun or o wholecuwpen lull of them
All things In Christ work together ti make
you brave, useful and g rod. There's a great
stir In this town, nnd I wonder what tt will
all amount to? If one msn Is saved thor
oughly the meetings will not have been in
vain—If a thousand are saved. It will redown
to the glory of Ood. Th-re are some Chris
tians that wl'l not pay; some pay and some
don't pray; while some neither paynor pray-
In tbs church it's about nlue dead heads and
ons who pays and prays bis way.
It tickles me la a meeting like this,to watch
the preachers when we shake the tree and the
apples begin lo fall. The Methodist rushes
undertho tree with his big basket; the Pres
byterian Alls his little basket, and the Bap
tist Just shoots bis canoe under ihs treoand
scoops In alllt will hold.
I believe In a fellow getting religion. The
Ir -utile Is that there sre too many Inonr
churches who arc not converted. You
preachers can't tell when a man has religion
bnt God will make It ao plain that the man
will know It. 1 don’t believe In Imputed
■ighteoaeness, bat I do believe In Imparted
rlghteoueneu. Tbe trouble with man Is that
hs Is too low down in the seals of law. Ifa
man associates with a bog he'll toueh law
right at the buttermilk trough. A man's as
sociations detsrralns what he Is.
A young lady deserts the church and the
Bible and longs for the klrmess and the
dance strikes law on the plane with the but-
tcrAy.
I'd be afraid to danoo with you for fear you
would evaporate, and people would want to
know what I did with my gal.
Thera arc people whom Nature should
taae back and Anlsh them by pntilngso -•«
brains Into their heads. Aud I'll tell you,
too, that I never saw an Intellectual person
on a ba'l room floor, or who lo ms pard pla- -
lag and reading yello w b iek. novels. These
sentlraeotnl folks arc g tod rabbit dogs when
you don’t want to catch any rabbits
Lord, how I would love to s-o humanity
lifted up! Get up higher—you'll never do
better where you are. Whatever jou do,
never throw away, dance nway or enrre
array another good Impression. L«t os be
partakers of God’s full grace, then you'll be
happy.
A REMARK AI1LE COINCIDENCE.
Dr. Tickard, In bis sermon at the
First Baptist church Sunday night, no
ted a coincidence in tho history of mis
sionary work instituted by tho Baptist
denomination that is quite remarkable.
It was ninety-nino years ago at a great
mooting in Birmingham, England, held
under the auspices of such noted Bap
tists of that day as Messrs. Cary, Fuller,
et al, that tbo liras steps of this grand
missionary movement were consum.
mated.
It was recently in Birmingham, Ala.,
at tho largest Baptist assembly ever
held that steps were taken to celebrate
the centennial of the great movoment
Inaugurated In England.
The two Birminghams have therefore
figured quite conspicuously in the histo
ry of this groat work of the Baptists,
and It Is really ramarkable that this
should hai o been so without any pre
concerted intention to bring It about.
And It may ho also remarked as a co
incidence worthy of noto that the com
ing year will mark tho celebration of
this Baptist centennial, as well as the
quadri-centennial of the discovery of
Amorica.—Birmingham Age-Iterald.
Tho French first-class battle ship Mar-
ceau, building since 1881, has just com
pleted her contract trials at Toulon. The
Marceau lias a tonage of 10,1100 and car
ries a principal armament of four 34-cen
timeter (13-inch) guns in barbette tur
rets, and seventeen 14-centlmeter (51-
inch) guns. Her subsidiary armament
includes twclvo quick firing guns, eight
mitrailleuses and four torpedo launch
ing tubes.
