Frebident Polk and Repre»entative
Tom Watson of this state, are in North
Carolina speaking to the alliance.
The Trihune-of-Rome thinks that the
$00,000 spent for provisions in Chatta
nooga for the Georgia encampment
should have been left in Georgia.
The maintenance of the Italian gov
ernment cost 13,000,000 liras last year.
All attempts to make bright remarks on
this statement will be ruled out. The
word Isn't pronounced that way.
Assistant Sec betaiiv Cbounse has
selected as a site for the public building
at Savannah, the property hounded by
Bull, York, Whittaker and President
streets, the cost of which is $55,000.
Uncle Jerry Kcsk proposes to pro

in August, 1888.

A salvation army woman was eject
ed from a saloon In Augusta the other
night, because she interferred with the
players. She prayed for half an hoar,
but not a cue was shelved, and no one In
the hall heeded her supplication. She
then gave them a piece of her mind and
was pnt out.
The Tin es- Uscor deb says the A mertcus
Light Infantry carried nine lawyers,with
them to camp. They are to he commended
fur not taxing along the whole bar—Rome
Tribune.
From oar knowledge of Ameilcus lawyers,
a whole bar ehonll have been carried along.

The nine lawyers who went swore off
before they left; but the twenty-Ove
who remained at home didn’t alto
gether.
Some of the Pennsylvania Republicans
are opening their eyes to the misdeeds
of Senator Quay, and hare published a
letter charging him with the defeat of
the Republican party in the last guber
natorial campaign, and touches him np
In all the charges made against him last
year. When they get through with Hr.
Quay they should pay their respects to
Hr. Wanamaker, and give him a round
or two.
The governor refused to Interfere In
the sentenoe of George Washington, but
Judge Clark has ordered that the bang
ing be private, and that colored in
dividual will be duly executed in the
jail yard in Atlanta next .Friday. The
negroes of Atlanta feared that the exe
cution would Interfere with their big
fourth of July celebration, but in this
they were mistaken, as It would only
make their crowd larger.
Secretary Noble has directed that
the proper drtlficates be sent to the
secretary of the treasury directing the
payment to the treasurer for the use of
the university of the state of Georgia,
of the first and second installments of
$15,000,and $10,000, under the agricultu
ral college act of August 30,1880. These
funds are to be expended according to
the ratio that the colored population of
school age holds to the white popula
tion of school age.
The Kennebec Journal, Blaine's home
organ, says: "The loud-moutbed rant
ers who are seeking to revive sectional
feeling In the south against the north by
glorifying the rebellion and all who took
psrt therein, are dolng-more harm than
the low price of cotton will ever do."
We haven't heard of any of these loud
mouthed ranters down here. In fact,
we pay little attention to "loud-mouthed
ranters" anyway. The northern crop is
plentiful enough—it doesn't need any
encouragement.
A number of lumber mills In the state
have shut down recently, and in all
probability more will shut down within
the next few weeks. Host of the mills
that have shot down are the smaller
mills on the Georgia Southern A Florida
railroad, which are remote from Savan
nah and also from Hie Savannah, Florida
A Western railway, the great lumber
system. The yellow pine Industry has
been particularly affected by the dis
tressed financial condition of South
America. For several years South
America has taken about 900,000,000 feet
of lamber per annum. Boring last year it
has not taken one-fiftieth of that amount
That couamft financial affairs ate in a
terrible condition, and then Is no money
to buy with. The wont of It Is that
then docs not appear to be any prospect
of Improvement. The lumber which has
been taken by South America la now
thrown upon the northern market, caus
ing a glut In the market, and conse
quently s weak demand and low prleea.

THE OHIO CAMPAIGN.
The political campaign that Is about
to open In Ohio promises to be almost
os interesting as the memorable can
vass of Illinois by Lincoln and Douglass.
That was fought on the slavery Issue,
and was regarded as having a more im
portant bearing on national than on
state politics. In Ohio the contest will
be over a national issue, namely, tariff
for protection vs. tariff for revenue, the
respective champions being the republi
can and democratic nominees for Gov
ernor. Even within the state the
national bearings of the election are
likely to be of leading Interest. Both
the republican candidate and the pros
pective democratic candidate have
planted themselves squarely on the tar
iff issue and propose to fight it out on
that line. Governor Campbell accepts
in advance of his nomination, the gaunt
let thrown down by Major McKinley,
according to the following statement of
bis reported In the New York Times:
I believe that 1 shall be re elected; I am aa
■anguine of that s, a man can be of any
event which la to occur five months lathe
future and which la subject to many Inter
vening changes In the current of sfTSlri. I
base my predictions purely upon the general
dissatisfaction with Ihe federal administra
tion and with the financial and commercial
condition of the country; but more especial
ly upon the direct fight we will make upon
Major McKln’cy as the author and exponent
of the so-called McKinley bill. While the
silver question, the state administration,
and other matters will be talked ot at'he
outset or the campaign upon the stomp, yet
before the speaking campaign Is two weeks
old all other matters will probably be lost
stgbtofsavesnt except that Major McKin
ley Is the prophet of higher tariff and the au
thor ol the bill which b nrs bis name. Upon
lids as the Issue we will gn'n in every county
In the state, with the poealble exception of a
few counties where the larger cities are
situated. The rural population of Ohio is
Just waking up to the enormities of the Mc
Kinley theory of protection, and I am sura
wa shall make large gains In all of tbs farm
ing counties.
The weakness of the Democrats In the
larger cities, which is admitted by Gov.
Campbell, is accountable for on two
grounds. The cities where manufacto
ries abound are the beneficiaries of pro
tection. And in Cincinnati there Is •
strong faction of the Democrats, repre
senting a corrupt ring which Campbell
broke up, ‘that is bitterly opposed to
him and that may be relied upon to work
against him. As to candidates, the re
publicans have some'advantage, because
there la no opposition to their candidate
on personal grounds. Yet the cause of
the oppoeitlon to Campbell In Cincinnati
may add to hla strength in the rural dis
tricts.
It was predicted that the third party
or farmers' alliance would play an im
portant part In the Ohio election, but ac
cording to present Indications the farm
ers will be left free to vote as they
choose. Scarcely more than one tn
eight of Ohlo’a voters belongs to the al
liance, and the organisation could not
be brought to unite on either candidate.
Aa Campbell !■ strongest among the
farmers, It is well that they have put a
candidate of their own In the field.
The Ohio campaign borrows extra Im
portance from Its Important bearing on
the presidential nomination. Neither
Democrats nor Republicanism fully sat
isfied with the candidates they now have
In the field. Either of the contestants
for the governorship of Ohio would be
an eligible candidate for president, and
whichever proves successful will be very
sore of a nomination by his party far
the first or second place on Its ticket.
The political fate ot Cleveland and Hill,
and of Harrison and Blaine are closely
Interwoven with Ohio politics, which
will bo watched with keen Interest all
over the Union.
THE STREET RAILWAY.
The suggestions contained in yester
day’s Times-Recobdxb relative to the
street railway, met with almost univer
sal approval, with the exception of a
few whose opposition is the best evi
dence of the merits of the scheme pro
posed; and who have “axes to grind” on
other lines.
About the only material objection
made to The Times-Recobdkr’s out
line was the too high valuation placed
upon the property for purposes of an
option, and aa a basis for Interest
charges, the figures $30,000 being re
garded by many of our best posted men
as double the actual value of the line.
Their estimate la based upon the sell
ing value of the 35 pound mils, which
have recently been sold in large quanti
ties by the 8., A. A M. railroad at $1,-
500 per mile; and the cost of the trolley
wire, say $500 per mile; which in the
aggregate falls several thousand dollars
short of $15,000.
Indeed several gentlemen favor the
removal of the llbe altogether, so that
Americas can take a clean start upon an
honest, square basis that don't have the
smell of humbug and jobbery about it
Gentlemen expressed th eir belief that
the line can be duplicated new for $15,-
000, and that the present outfit Is high
priced at $10,000. •
In view of the weight of these opin
ions, The Tiues-Recobdeb believes
that tbs estimate of $1,500 aa Interest on
the $30,000 valuation should be reduced
one-half, so that the interest charge
should be pat $T50.
The estimate of $30 per day for ex
penses Is considered by well Informed
gentlemen as rather high also, and a re
duction of $3 to $5 per day might safely
be made In this estimate of running ex
penses.
Out of the agitation of this question
some good will surely result, and Tuk
Times-Recordek urges our business
men to give it thought, and give their
thought expression.

THE LOTTERY CONTEST IN LOUISIANA
Though the rote which is to finally
decide the fate of tho Louisiana lottery
Is not to be taken in that state until next
April, the campaign has already begun
there, and an indication of the bltterneea
of the contest is found In the fact
party lines are already disregarded, and
they will be entirely lost sight of as the
campaign progresses. The voters will
range themselves In “lottery” or "anti-
lottery" factions, and no scheme of
bribery or corruption will be left untried
by the unscrupulous managers of the
gigantic monopoly whloh has for years
disgraced Louisiana, to perpetuate itself.
It Is estimated that a corruption fund of
not less than a million dollar* will bo
used by tho - desperate lottery people,
who are fighting tor their lives, and
the vtrtneof the better classes of the
voters of the state will be tested as
never before. The contest will be
watched with anxiety outside the limits
of the state, where popular sentiment
■gainst this gigantic evil has become
thoroughly aroused.
BAM JONES ON “THE CENTURY. 1
Sam Soncs was In Kansas City last
week, and a reporter of the Kansas City
Star managed to waylay him and get a
very interesting Interview from the bel
licose and original divine. Among other
things Hr. Jones said, in answer to the
question: "What do you think of F.
Hopklnson Smith's recent story that ap

A STATEMAN'S VIEW.
Senator Carlile Is always sensible
when he talks. He Is a wise and very
strongman—a statesman. In a reefint
interview he said no one could predict
now who would be the democratic
nominee for the presidency. He sees
the hand of Hill at work, and says:
A great deal*111 dtpend upon tht action
of New York. Her delegation will of course,
be very potent In the convention, and if It
comes Instructed for a New York man the
delegates tram other slates will either take
him or go ontalds of the slate for a can II-
date. There aft many .who think that the
party hoe gone to New York for fta candi
date often enough, but the vote of that state
tun always been naoetsa>y to elect the nom
inee, and may continue to bo necessary here
after. I
He does not believe that the third par
ty will have much controlling Influence |
next year. Its success, It anywhere,
must be In the republican northwest
He does not think Hr. Cleveland’s silver
letter will necessarily Injure his pros
pects. It made him friends and he lost
friends by it Hr. Carlisle docs not fail
o say that In his opinion it would "be
exceedingly bad policy to permit the
silver question to become the paramount
one In the campaign of 1892. It is a
question upon which there ore honest
differences of opinion In the party, while
there are other questions of equal oi
greater Importance upon whloh we are
thoroughly united.”
We take these to be timely and wise
utterances. The third party may be
possibly of more consequence than the
able Kentuckian row thinks. Bat he is
surely wise and prudent when he depre-
oatot the folly of making the fight in
upon tho "free silver coinage" in
the fane of widespread dlvlsoa in the
democratic party on that subject.
