Senator Ingalls has changed his mind
as to the policy of the republican party.
A few years ago, when he was in the
senate, to wave the bloody shirt was all
that he thought necessary to rally the
republican party and bring defeat to its
opponents. Now he feels that it must
confront the living issues and make their
fight on a diilerent line tlan in the days
of its greatest supremacy.
And It is true. The people of the
north will no longer listen to the old
bloody shirt harrangue, but demand that
the parties take up the problems which
confront them in their every day life,
and demand that the welfare of the
country receive the attention of its lead
ing statesmen.
It may be Cleveland and Harrison
again, as Mr. Ingalls says, but if Itshould
be, the republicans will be put to their
wits’ ends to find a platform that will
rally the people around the little man
who is now hid tinder his grandfather’s
hat.
The administration will have to shoul
der young Ilaum’s theft unless he is dealt
with as a thief should be, but then the
republican party lias harbored bigger
steals than Ilaum’s.
Gen. FitzHuoh Lee, of Virginia, has
no confidence In the third party, and

true to the democratic party.
Rev. Chahlkh M. Beckwith, a native

of St Lukes church in Atlanta. •
The Cliickamauga park commission
has decided to make liberal offers to the
owners of the land desired for the park,
and if this is not accepted the land will
bo condemned as the law provides.
The anti-Call element of the Florida
legislature contend that he was not
legally clcctod senator, and are still In
the fight. But Call seems to have the
drop on them, and will serve for the full
erm of six years.
Senator Colquitt has had a private
alk with Gov. Hill, at Albany, and
there is much speculation as to what it
was about. The senator may have his

elected president.
The billion dollar congress, as Appears

Let us hope that the prophets who

The efficacy of prayer was veriilod in
Birmingham the other day when the

The creditors of Stephen A. ltyan
propose to sift the matter of his failure

the argumonU In Atlanta to-day.
The Mobile Register says: “The true
temedies for the disease of the body
politics can be found only in tho doc
trines of the democratic party. The
chief of these remedies is tariff reform.
In the success of that policy will be
found relief from much of what the peo
ple now find burdensome.”
In Berlin there is a somewhat novel
institution*. It U nothing less than a
bureau for the promotion of marriages.
In ten years it has received 19,059 appli
cations for husbands and wives from all
civilised countries, while matches have
been brought about for 4,399 women
applicants and 5,417 men. In this coun

Alphonso Taft, ex-secretary of war,
ex-attorney general and ex-minister to
Austria and Rossia,died at San Diego on
21it inst. He was a native of Vermont,
and waa born in 1810. He was a judge
of the superior court of' Cincinnati be
fore lie entered the Cabinet Tale made
him an LL. D. in 1897. He was a man
of ability, and we know nothing against
his character except that he was anorth-’
era republican. This was left over,
wont there were more like
HIM.
The Nashville American publishes the
following letter, received from a north
ern born and bred republican by Hon.
Johr W. Childress, of Nashville, who
was appointed one of the agents for the
Jeff Davis monument fund at the recent
memphis meeting tf the Southern Press
association:
Minm.EsnoRouoii, Ky., May 20,1801. Hon.
John W. Childress, Nashville, Tent).
Dear Hir; Enclosed please find draft on
Louisville, my mite to the Dnvls monument
fund. I belong to the north and believe as
thenorthdd.hu I believe that Jefferson
Davis was a good and groMt man, and I am
glad to offer a little assistance to the erection
of a monument to his memory.
Pleas** send receipt, for It will be a nice
souvenier. Very truly,
Dougluh E. McDowell.
The American In commenting upon
the letter nays:
“The letter shows that while men may
differ widely on political questions—Is
sues which may and have disrupted a
government and brought about bloody
internecine strife—there is still left in
geuorous hearts—and It is the generous
alone who are truly brave—a sense of
appreciation of all that was good in the
character of an opponent. Acts of chiv
alry command the respect of all men.
and honesty of purpose hides many a
supposed deformity. Human judgement
is at best faulty. It is not for human
ken to determine who is right always
and who is wrong. The cause for which
President Davis fought wAnt down,
where it will rest forever, but his devo
tion to tho cause, tlio honesty of his pur
pose, his fidelity to his people and tho
grace with which he submitted to the
humiliation of defeat cannot fall to com
mand tho admiration of all American
citizens who respect these virtues in a
soldier or citizen.”
The Philadelphia Telegraph still con
tinues to point out the fact that the Mc
Kinley tariff was passed as a reward to
the fat fryers. This is a specimen of its
republican talk: “It has been complain
ed by its friends that the McKinley bill
was condemned because it was not un
derstood, reasons for condemning it mul
tiply. More and more it is perceived
that it is levying indirectly enormous
taxes on the great masses of the people
for the benefit either of the small class
of specially coddled manufactures at
home or the foreign manufacturers
whose wares aro still shipped to this
country. Tho people pay the duty and
freight as tribute to those good folk who
in i888 contributed the corruption fund
of $400,000 to carry a couple of doubtful
states.
That ily men are required to fly air
ships was very clearly illustrated the
other day at Omaha. Two men adver
tised in the papers that on a certain
date they would tly tho air ship at the
fair grounds. Five thousand people
paid fifty cents a head to witness the
exhibition, and when all of them were
inside the grounds the two men put the
gate receipts In a sack, mounted horses
and lied. It was several hours before
the crowd discovered that both the men
and air-ship were noc present, and that
they had been duped, and then there
was a large indignation meeting.
Rev. Mr. Culpepper, who is con-
ductin a so-called religious revival in
Atlanta, has become so indecent in bis
language that the good people of that
city have ceased to patronize his tent
meetings. He it a man capable of doing
much good, but when he allows himself
to go so far as to shock bis audiences of
•men only** with his Indecent and vul
gar language he should be promptly
kicked from the pulpit and expelled
from the church.
picsvnt, wuich was six loss t*mn a majority
oi that body. Tm* senate of tho legi-dgature
of Louisiana that rlrcted Senator Eustls
consisted of thirty six member*. On the 12th
o» January. 1*77, when .Senator Eustls was
elected, there were hut twelve members of
the senate present. When Heiiator Kellogg
was elected there were l»ut sewntece. mom
hers of the senate piesent in tho joint as
sembly, although nineteen would have been
necessary to constitute a quotum of that
body.
The question whether a quorum of each
body is necessary under the act of l'sSd was
directly passed upon by the senate of the
United States Id each of these cases, 4ttd all
three of these gentlemen were declared to
have been legally elected. In the Kellogg
case the committee said: "That said elec
tion was held strictly in accordance with the
act of congress of 18HI, to regulate the time
and manner of holding elections for sena
tor.” In the Eustls ease the committee re
ported: “Your committee finds that, al
though the senate refused to take part as
such in said election, and although a minor
ity of the senate only did take part in It,
yet there was a substantial coiiqiliance with
the act of congress of
Governor Fleming is reported as op
posed to Call, but he will hardly with
hold his redenctials with;the precedents
quoted above in his favor, and the oppo
sition may as well get down to their
work on other lines, get through and go
home to their long suffering constitu
ents.
A preacher in Illinois has just been
arrested for making counterfeit money.
This is a strange thing, but the still
stranger fact appears, according to his
confession, that the reason lie went into
the business was because his salary was
so small as a minister of the gospel that
lie had to do something to pay expenses.
In other words, necessity made him the
victim of temptation. While this can
be no excuse for his criminal action, yet
it leads to the thought that the minister,
like any other laborer, is worthy of his
hire, and that poverty may prove too
much for even the worker in the gospel
field to bear
Last week the notorious Commission
er of Pensions Raum approved and
signed a pension certificate in favor of
one John G. Ilildt, who lost an arm dur
ing the war, which is said to be the lar
gest in amouut ever issued by the pen
sion bureau. The amount of the certifi
cate was $10,500, all for back pensions,
dating as far back as 1802. And yet
Ilildt has been confined iii tho govern
ment insane asylum since 1802—a ward
of the nation with his every want sup
plied—and he had no baud in obtaining
the pension.
The Macon Construction company lias
been offered dollar for dollar for Its
stock by a Baltimore syndicate. It Is
the thought that Mr. Robinson is at
the head of the syndicate, as his com
pany have made several efforts to got
hold of tho Georgia Southern and Flori
da, but it is not yet known that he is.
Some of the stockholders oppose and
others favor the sale, but tho offer has
not yet been accepted.
