Editor anil Manager, THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, INGALLS ON HIS PARTY. At the meeting of the republican editors of the seventh Kansas district, a letter was read from ex-Senator Ingalls, of which the following is an Extract: j The republican party Is confronted with ! great problem h wh eh threatens«ts suprema* If v M, we » dealt With slnvt eisMity thirty ye A me Americus, Ga., May 30, 1891.

The member* of the Florida senate, who thought that by leaving, the senate could not act without a majority, are likely to he disappointed as the prece dents all favor senator fall. President Brown, of the senate, who presided ovei the joint assembly, speaking of prece dents says: This question ha* been passed upon bv lh»* ►enateof the United States In a number of case*, notably In the election ot M.

Senator Coi.qmTs visit to Govern or Hill may mean the lixing of a ticket of which the senator will be the tail. oflmlg* id opln Hon. J. F. Hanson, of Macon, deliver the decoration day address at Andersonville to-dav, before the G. A. R. Joe Cannon, of mouth fame, is said to Lave a rival in the person of one Rev. Culpepper, who is conducting a revival In Atlanta. Atlanta is entertainiug Justice La mar, who Is In that city to assist Judge Newman in the trial of a conspiracy case from Cobb county. Illinois comes up with a cool million for the World’s fair. If all the states would do likewise it would indeed, he a world’s fair worthy of the name. The third party in Ohio has sot itself to work to beat McKinley for governor, and before they are through with him bo will wisff that lie had never heard of his famous bill. it will 1m? a Waterloo. 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 says the Virginia farmers’ alliance will not pursue the phantom, but will remain true to the democratic party. Rev. Chahlkh M. Beckwith, a native of Petersburg, Va., has been elected as sistant bishop by the Episcopalians of Texas. Ho was formerly assistant rector 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 -eye on a cabinet portfolio in case Hill Is elected president. The billion dollar congress, as Appears from Its official record, made a net in crease of over seventeen humired in the place-holders under the federal govern ment, adding to the annual burdens of the people $4,994,402. Let us hope that the prophets who are predicting that the end of tho world Unear, may bo wrong. How would the United States look on the moruiug of the day of judgement, with a republi can administration and an empty treas ury.—Louisville Courier-Journal. The efficacy of prayer was veriilod in Birmingham the other day when the Presbyterian assembly, la session in that city, prayed for rain. The prayer was offered in the morning, and In the evening the clouds gathered and poured out their blessings In a bountiful rain. The creditors of Stephen A. ltyan propose to sift the matter of his failure to the bottom, and Steve may have to defend several criminal suits If he does not satisfy them. Several applications for the appointment of a receiver have been filed, and Judge Clarke will hear 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 try divorce courts are preferred. 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. &4KIH* 5 POWDER Absolutely Pure.
