Americus, Oa., Juno 6, 1891. Take the pension sharks out of the republican party and what a largo hole would bo left in it! Corrupt politics always comes high, but the price Philadelphia Is paying is positively exorbitant. The courts of Connecticut aro making as eminent a success in not electing a governor as did the legislature. Our reciprocity treaties seem to have been sentenced to death by electrocu tion, from the speed they make. “Hion prices and low wages.” That will ho tbo republican platform next year if it truly reflects the party policy. Ik working as it never worked before the supremo court of the United States has solved the problem of its crowded docket. Perspiration and piety make a pret ty fair alliteration, but it is not any easy matter to' put them together in practice. Tre farmers in politics may not know much about policlcal economy, hut they aro finding out how a -protective tariff hurts them. gjgT. m m The famous remark concerning the weather, which Brother Beecher once made in opening a sermon, has boon very much quoted of late. Despite the very torrid temporature that has prevailed in this region of late tliero have been no sun strokes reported Such a hratefl term in the northern cities is nlwnys accompanied by numerous such oases. The age of steam will soon ho labeled and put on the shelf alongside of the age of the ox learn. The electric age Is upon the world, and soon the greatest of all forces will be furnishing the mo tive power for the world's machinery of every xort The St. Bouia Olobe-Domocrat thinks that the republican party "ahould or- genize a society for the suppression of Russ Harrison.” It is tlis suspicion that a strong faction of the republican party contemplates the suppression of the entire Harrison family that bat made Rosa so voolforous of late. Some yean ago when the prince of Wales was a witness in a scandalous case his testimony was considered per jury. The excuse for bis false (wearing was tbrft he did It to protect a woman’s reputation. The heir to Brltain'e throne Is about as disreputable a citizen In morals as the country can boast of. The question of the removal of the state capital of Florida, is being agitated dn the legislature at. Tallahassee, and. a ’resolution proposing the removal passed -the house by a vote of thirty-five to -fifteen. It it is removed it will probably go to Ocala, or It may go to OalnesviUs, drblch is nearer the geographical center of the stat^ This is the age of precocious ehildren. They come in troops and startle the world by their untaught acquaintance with music, mathematics, general litera ture and even science. But not with the arts and utilitarian trades. No four year old girl has made her debut, nor a six year old boy who is never so happy as when toting in wood for mamma or pulling weeds in the garden. Nor Is there likely to be snch a debnt. We have been taught to believe that there would be no favors shown retnr- notion day, but the continued Increase of pension claimants Is enough to stag ger our faith. Is It possible that our re publican brother, with his accustomed smartness, has worked up a corner on the buslnesswnd Is bringing a few thous ands of the departed In ahead of time? If, not, where on earth are all the re cruits to the pension list coming from,; The Sunday law, prohibiting the sale of everything except soda water, la causing seiiuus inconvenience to the gentlemen of Atlanta who delight to pull the favorite Havanas in the Kim ball house rotunda, on the Sabbath day. There are some people in Atlanta who •re never satisfied unless there is some thing np to disturb the public mind, and this element ta ever on the alert. Sun day taws are very good and should be enforced, but extremes should be •voided. The stamp collectors show • disposi tion to combine, as will be seen by the following curious advertisement taken from a Mauritius journal: “A stamp collector, the poeaesaor of a collection of 13,544 stamps, wishes to marry a lady who is an ardent collector and the poz- 1 sessor of the blue penny sump of Haur- ltius, Issued in 1847.” If she enters into this matrimonial alliance the lady Is apt to be bannted by the thought that per haps this collector Is not after her so much as ho is after her blno penny stamp. .She knows how a collector re gards a raro stamp, and It leaves her ■ i“ mind open to doubt. HIS EVES WERE OPENED. On his return to Boston, after his re cent tour through the south, or a por tion of It, Hon. Kdward Atkinson, the distinguished statistfeisn and writer on industrial subjects, furnished a lengthy article to the Manufacturer's Record, giving his impressions resulting from that trip. It was an elaborate and exhaustive review of the south and its resources, and was writton by a man whose eyes evidently had been opened and whose sense of honesty and fairness would al low no prejudice to creep into his ex pressed judgment concerning the south. It is the host article ever written upon this section by Mr. Atkinson He says that it may almost seem offi cious for him to deal at such length with the resources of the south, but that Ids justification is found in the etrango fact that in the very heart of the eastern part of the United States is an area near ly as large as France, endowed with moro varied resources and with a better climate than almost any other similar area within the limits of our common country, which is very sparsely settled, and until a few years ago scarcely known to New England people. The time has now come, he says, for men to compre hend that there lies at our door a very largo area of almost unoccupied territory capable of being made the homes of millions of intelligent and industrious families The one mistake that Mr. Atkinson made was in not visiting Americus. Here he would have seen the prettiest picture and the most inviting field for Industry and development in all the pro gressive south. But Americus has no complaint to enter against Mr. Atkinson for his failure to come within her gates. She cannot be lddden, and her glory Is a part of tbo wonderful story of the south. ■iuetick, though tardy. Plenty Horses is ncquitted. The at tempt to hold him guilty of murder for the shooting of Lieut. Casey was a travesty on law and justice. In trying him the fcdoral court simply yielded to the passion and prejudice of the frontier and tiie government at Washington was evidently moved by the same pressure. There is not a soldier nor a lawyer in the country who believes that Plenty Horses was guilty of murder. Probably very few of the men who Insisted on bis trial and condemnation thought him within the spirit of the law against de liberate manslaughter. Doubtless many of his prosecutors and persecutors simply thought and hoped that the friendless Indian might be hanged through a technical construction of the law. The judicial effort was a wretchedly cruel and faithless sequel to the long In justice whloh had driven Flenty Horse* ^nd his people into revolt, and his ac quittal by order of the judge 1* a tardy set of justloe and a slow recognition of the fact that the whites and Indians were at war—a fact known to and ad mitted by Gen. Miles and every soldier who served under him. TWO MONUMENTS On Wednesday last two monuments were unveiled In the presence of wait ing thousands. One was at Jackson, Mississippi, the capital of a state, which Jefferson Davis represented with great and crowning honor in the senate of the United States. He represented on a broader scale American manhood on the plains of Mexico, and brought to Pierce’s admin istration great credit for his wonderful administration of the office of secretary of war. As leader of the Confederacy he added to his reputation and became known throughout the world. He was true to his convictions and willing to die for them. In all essentials he was an honest man, fearless and incorruptible. The people of Mississippi have added another chaplet to the crown of glory they wear by erecting as a tokon of their love and affection a monument to Ills honor. The other monument was unveiled at Galena, Illinois, the home of "Ulysses S. Grant. It was fitting that his friends and neighbors should have thus shown honor to a man who became illustrious by tbs successful conduct of the great est war of modern times. General Grant’s military record con tains nothing that is not in accord with the character of a high-toned soldier. His civil career was marred by miscon duct of subordinates, but no one at taches any blame to him therefor. It was a series of mishaps arising from misplaced confidence. The peoplo of the south certainly cherish no ill towards the memory oi the great federal captain, and honor those who show their appreciation of his de votion to the cause that lie and they held dear. From the truck patch and the potato field conies the last wall of that terrible example, John J Ingalls: “The repub licanism of the futuro must readjust itself to the changed conditions of Amer ican life, or it will perish," wrote lie to the republican editors of Kansas. Three months in a thirty acre truck patcli lias evidently dono fail., more good than ninety days in jail. He makes a positive statement, based on existing couditions, foretelling the downfall of the protec tive tariff BE0LL & OAKLEY, 313 LAMAR STREET, ■OFFER’ For the next thirty days, startling reductions in their entire stock DRY GOODS, DDESS GOODS, Notions and Fancy Goods. WHERE IT STANDS ON SILVER. Tbs Industrial Alliance, with head quarters at Boston, recently addressed a circular letter to the members of the flfty-seoond congress ebosen last fall, asking their position on the silver ques tion. Of the thirty-one democratic members who responded twenty-eight declared in favor of freo coinage. In the last congress 117 out of 123 democratic representatives voted for free coinage. If the members of the fifty-second congress had all replied to the quostlon put them by the Industrial Alliance the proportion in favor of free coinage would have doubtless been about the same that it was In the answers giv en and the proceeding congress. This not only serves to show that the democratic party Is overwhelmingly a free coinage party, but that a free coin age bill la going to pass the next house of representatives by an overwhelming majority. The democratic party will be so thor- oughly committed to free coinage by the time the next national convention of the party meets that It will be impossible for the party to take any other position In Its platform. DELIBERATE THEFT. The people of Rhode Island voted at the last state election in favor of the democratic candidates. That Is, more voters preferred those candidates than any others. But because more than two seta of candidates were voted for there was no legal choice under the laws of Rhode Island. The democratic candidates, In other words, did not re ceive more votes than were cast for all other candidates together. The legislature of Rhode Island being republican, has now elected the candi dates who were the choice of a minority of the people. There Is an eternal un fitness in this state of affairs which pleases no one except the republican pol iticians who profit by It. In view of the refusal of these repub lican politicians to change the taws in Rhode Island, Connecticut and New Hampshire, there Is only one thing to say. They maintain the unjust taw for dishonest purposes. They want it in order that they may steal these three state governments and their Uni ted States senatorsbips. Therefore this robbery in Rhode Island is a deliberate outrage upon the larger part of the peoplo. Mb.
