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?
