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. THE LEADERS 313 Lamar st. 313 Lamar st.
