Americus, Ga.) July 9, 1891.
The Savannah Times thinks that Hon.
Tom Watson is grooming for the guber
natorial race next year.
Fiied Douglass says that he wasn’t
frightened by the outbreak in Ilayti—
and in cases of this kind we must, of
course, take a man's word for it.
Blaine may show weakness in Ids dai
ly walks at Bar Harbor,but there are lots
of ambitious Republican leaders who are
afraid that he will make a lively, run in
1802.
This joint demand by a portion of
both the Demdcratic and Republican
press that Quay must go is getting to be
a chestnut—Quay doesn't “go" worth a
cent.
This is the time of the year when the
emissaries of certain envious resorts re-
fabricate the stale lie about the yellow-
fever being in Brunswick, so as tc
frighten off the visitors from Cumber
land and St. Simons.
In the interior districts of California
the mercury wont up to 103 degrees in
the shade somo weeks ago, aud it is
said that it hasn't gone down since then
a single peg. They avo all groat “stay-
eis” out in California anyway.
Aueh Bkn Ali, the murderer of
“Shakespeare,” will probably go to
state'sprison for life. Vet there are
scores of men and women who are
“murdering Shapkspcare" on the stage
every season and’somehow escape.
“The lottcryites,” says tlie N'ew Delta,
“are pleading with the people to keep
the lottery out of polities. They are
also begging that a man’s position on
the lottery question be not taken into
consideration in selecting candidates for
office.” This is a very good indication
that the lotteryitcs are hurt.
In various exchanges, at this season,
one reads the accounts of many cases in
which persons are rescued' from drown
ing and he cannot fail to bo impressed
by the fact that the succored person is
going down “for the last timo.” This
may be strictly true, as be is rescuod be
fore he has a chance to go down again,
but wo are watching for the story of the
rescue of a man when lie is making bis
first plunge?,
While J. S. McTighe A Co., have not
received any actual cash from New
Vork with which to begin work on the
Macon ft Atlantic, they have what is
praotlcaliy as good. TLe Now York
stockholders telegraphed that the sum
of 100,000 had been deposited to the ac
count of McTighe A Co., to* bo used by
them as soon as the Macon A Atlantic
was taken out of the hands of the re
ceiver.—Macon Telegraph.
Tuat long-winded crank, Kdward At
kinson, thinks the free silver mania has
stopped investments in the south, pre
vented aetivUy, destroyed confidence,
and brought about conditions in which
even abundant crop harvests are burden-
some. There is probably some truth in
this, as it is well known to be a pare of
tho goli) bugs’ scheme to Injure as much
as possible, by a construction of busi
ness, those soctlons of the country and
the south in particular, where the free
■liver doctrine is prevailing.
One of the most Interesting questions
before the legislature at present is the
redistricting of the state, so as to pro
vide for the Eleventh Congressional dis
trict to which Georgia Is entitled. Strong
pressure will be brought to bear to get
Brunswick out of the Savannah district;
and this will probably bs done. A lead
ing Brunswick politician wants to get
£umter county into the new distriot, so
that tho "City by the Sea” can get
-Judge Crisp Info its limits and avail lt-
. self of his talents and experience.
The Fine Hill, Talladega county, Al
abama, alliance has adopted resolutions
boycotting coffee until the article can
be bought at “living prices.” The res
olution was passed at tho meeting of
tho alliance last week and eadh member
present voted in the affirmative when
,tbe question was put. They say they
will no longer pay 25 and 30 cents a
pound for coffee, but will go without it.
They argue that it c m be sold os cheap
now as it was five or six years ago when
ten pounds could be bought for a d fi
lar.
The railroad commission will not
take action on the coal rates on Satur
day. The railroad authorities asked
that the question be postponed until
gentlemen interested, who are compell
ed to attend the annual meeting of the
t Southern Bailway and Steamship Asso
ciation, and the rate committee meeting
following it, could be present The re
quest was granted and action on the
rates was postponed until Monday
morning, July 13, at 10 o'clock, at
which time manufacturers and others
interested are asked to be present
DOUGLASS AND BtS SECRETARY.
The New York San publishes Inform
ation from Ilayti regarding the acti on of
our Minister Fred Douglass and his pri
vate secretary, a mulatto named Bassett,
that certainly Is worthy of investiga
tion by the state department. It ap
pears that the* negro Bassett is really
the representative of this government,
as he makes Douglass do what he do-
sires to be done, and it further appears
that lie is a scoundrel who should be
promptly bounced out of the service of
the government which he'betrays and
disgraces whenever an opportunity
offers.
Tho Sun's informant who has been a
resident of Port au Prince for a num
ber of years, charges that-the failure of
the United States to secure the Mole St.
Nicholas for a coaling station was duo to
Bassett, who accepts bribes from and
yields to the wishes of Uypolite in all
negotiations between the United States
and Ilayti, and the result is he lives in
high style and squanders large sums of
money at the gambling table. On the
occasion of the recent butchery of citi
zens at Porte au Prince, Minister Doug
lass locked himself in his residence in a
great state of fright, although it is stated
that he could have put a stop to the
massacre had ho entered a protest in the
Same of the United States, and put him
self in tho absence of tho other minis
ters, at the head of the consular corps.
The meeting that was finally called by
the .Spanish consul was not attendeu by
Douglass, but by Bassett, whoclairoed to
represent the United States, and at the
meeting Bassett said that the action of
Uypolite in shooting foreigners and es
pecially white men was right and proper,
and that he would do nothing wrong if
he were to shoot every white man in
Pert au Prime, becauso the people
lynched negroes in the United States,
and in a land where the colored race was
master they had the right to kill as
many whites as possible.
Tlie statement was made in the pres
ence of Mr. Arthur Croswell, the attor-
-nay for the British and Spanish lega
tions, who was also present, and the re
sult was it put a stop to the progress of
the meeting, and the consuls determined
to act separately and each according to
his own judgment. About tills time the
slaughter commenced in tlie streets, and
when a French merchant named
ltigaud was shot to death becauso he
failed to salute a body of passing troops,
the chancellor of tho French legation
donned his official uniform and, ascend
ing the steps of ouo of tho buildings on
the main street, announced that if an
other French citizen was killed he would
arm the Frcncli colony and avenge tbeir
deaths. It is atatod that this nervy
action put an end to the butchery and
saved tho lives, perhaps, of all tho whites
in tho town, as the negro soldiery of
Uypolite wero drunk with tho blood
they had slicd and wero ripe for any
kind of deviltry.
This is the story of the conduct of
Douglass and his secretajy, and os the
Sun gets its information from a reputa
ble source, the matter s hould certainly
receive the attention of tho administra
tion and appoint some man os minister
AN INTERESTING QUESTION.
A writer In the July number of the
North American Review asks, with
every appearance of seriousness, the in
teresting question “Is It wrong to lief”
To do the writer justice at tho outset, it
should bo said that she—for it is
woman—does not question that it is
wrong to lie under an ordinary tempta
tion, but wisheB to be told whether it is
possible that there should ever be Cir
cumstances warranting the telling of an
untruth or even the disregard of an oath.
She asks tlie question and does not at
tempt to answer it, but it is evident
from her tone that she believes the lie-
occasional to be excusable or even
praiseworthy. In support of this infer
ential opinion of hers, she cites the case
of an English royal personage who has
been quite conspicuous of late and who,
being called as a witness in a divorce
case, where the telling of the truth
would have blasted the reputation of a
woman, is said to have . “perjured him
self like a gentleman.” Again, she
speaks of|a woman of an older timo, who
was almost as well known in Jericho as
is the hero of the foregoing story in
London—one Raliab. It will be remem
bered that Rahab took the messengers of
the Israelites into her house and told a
very hare faced lie for their protection.
This earned her immediate reward and
tlie veneration of tlie chosen people ever
after. She also cites the caso of the fu
gitive slaves who wore passed over the
underground road, and of tli» many
evasions and direct denials of the truth
which aided their escape.
It is simply another indication
of the extent to which the latitude of
thought which has always , existed is
finding its outlet by virtue of a new lati
tude of speech. It is wrong to lie, dis
honorable to lie, and cowardly to lie,
yet lies have been told by very good
people in all ages when the temptation
was strong enough and are told to-day
with equal frequency, but this does not
make tho practice right and the trans
gressor must settle his misdeed with his
own conscience. It is a bit startling to
seo this subject so, coolly discussed,
and many of those who cannot look
into their own records and say that they
have always been truthful will be in
clined to say that thelfid plan of indl-
vidual,responsibility for the individual
offense is the best one.

A STRANGE STORY.
The eccentricities of fate are curious
ly and painfully illustrated in the expe
rience of a Mr. Yarrlngton, who has
naturally become very much disheart
ened.
He was at work in Johnstown when
the big dam broke. The flood washed
away all his earthly possessions and one
of his children was drowned.)
Ho then moved to Arizona and was
getting along successfully, when another
flood carried away everything he had
and drowned another child.
Once more he removed, and he fixed
upon a spot In the Indian Territory,
where he thought he was beyond the
reach of disaster. But a third timo a
flood swept throagh tho town and ho
was beggared. Moreover, he lost a third
child by drowning.
He is almost crazed with grief at these
repeated bereavements and losses.
The fact that the death of Hannibal
Hamlin occurred on Independence day
has naturally provoked comment, and
no doubt will be referred to again in the
more formal eulogies pronounced upon
one who will be remembered as the as
sociate of Abraham Liueoln through the
civil war. Sixty-five years ago a far
more memorable i vent was connected
with the national holiday. On the
Fouith of July, U20, John Adams, the
second president of the Uni.cd Slat.--,
died in the 01st year of l is a;e, ■ nd
Tho nas Jeffetson, the third presl lent,
died on the same day, at the age of.S3.
Jefferson on the 3d of July askirg those
around him the day of the in in h, had
expressed the wish to ii.ve to see the
dawn of the fiftieth anniveuai y of the
great Declaration which ho had drawn
and sign-d; while Adams, on being
asked when the bells rang and the can
non fired, If he knew what day it was,
be replied, “Oh yes, it is the glorious
Fourth of July, Ood bless It!” It is re
markable also that James Monroe, the
fifth president, died five years later on
the Fourth of July, 1831, at the age of
73. The death of Madison, the fourth
president, which occurred after another
five years, In 1833, at the age of 85, took
place daring the week preceding the
nation’* birthday anniversary.
GAG LAW. £
Tho president of the South Carolina
Farmer's Alliance has officially forbid
den Gov. Tillman and Lecturer Terrell
to debate in public their differences in
the sub-treasury bill.
This is wrong. If the sub-treasury
bill is or is not to become tho law of the
land, all thoso voters, who by reason of
their avocations are excluded from the
secret caucuses of the alliance lodge
rooms, aro ontitled to hear Its merits
discussed by its strongest advocates, and
its flaws shown by its opponents in the
ailfanco ranks.
The Augusta Chronicle says:
Weconfeuto aome alarm for the welfare
of our country and the rl.tit. and liberties of
our people, when free men are ordered to
dobnte In secret, great questions of public
policy affecting tbe rigut. of all the peo
ple.
Why should “gag law” be enforced
In this discussion? Two of tbe most
prominent and able alllancetnen in the
country propose to have a joint debate
on the aub-treasury scheme, a subject
upon which every body needs all the
light they can get, and havo set July 24
as the time, when up rises the state
president, and demands that the dis
cussion be held with closed doors.
Will somo allianceman explain why
the public ehould not have tbe benefit
of a discussion that will probably show
that the sub-treasury bill should, or
should not become the law of the land,
a law by which millions of people ex
cluded from allianco lodges aro to be
goverilbd?
