Americus, Qa., July 11, 1891. Mil. MiKim.ky enunot sweep Ohio with a wliinh broom, but lie might ride in on a whiskey boom, hs otlier candi dates have done before. We are a great state and wo have an excellent fiscal policy. We cau borrow money at a high rate of interest and then borrow more money to pay the in to rest.—Memphis Appeal-Avalanche. With a bargain counter in his cabi net Mr. Harrison ought to be pretty well tlxed, but in the care of the Keystone bank Holy John appears to have counted his bargain beforo it wan hatched. Tills bank bill seems to have been a counter feit Issue with Holy Joliu. The Chicago Herald calls attention to tbe fates of the two great embezzlers, Bardsley and Quay. Tlio former was sent to the penitentiary and the latter to the United States Senate. Some men seem to enjoy good luck and to always carry tho lightest end of the log. In his message, the governor haa asked tbe legislature to investigate the validity of certain sterling bonds issued in 1838, which matured in 1808, and have recent ly been presented for payment and were refused by Treasurer Hardeman, bo- causo they were not presented in accord ance with tho terms of the act of March 2, 1875. Honest John Baiuisley, the repub lican treasurer of Philadelphia, who succecdod in stealing nearly two million dollaisfrom the city and state, bad ids head shaved yesterday and commenced serving Ida term of fifteen years in the penitentiary, where his family will be permitted to visit him once in every four months. There is great complaint by the How York Sun because one of tho recently executed murderers was said to havo been burnt by electricity. Uncle Dana should organize a society for the pre vention of cruelty to murderers. These gentloinen’s feelings must' not be trifled with, merely becauao they ferociously butchered their victims. “PRACTICE WHAT TOU PREACH.” Many people in Amerlcus are in the habit of talking up the establishment of various kinds of industries and enter prises aa ‘ending above all else to build up tbit city, and by word of mouth have given much encouragement to such movements. It is potent that the presence of such enterprises is worth nothing to the in vestors nor the public, unless thoy can control at least the home patronage; yet some people seem to think they have fully discharged their duty if they ad vocate the bringing of enterprises here; and then decline or neglect to give thorn business afterwards. An instance of this sort is right under tbe eyes of The Times-Kecohdep. A year ago tho Times Publishing Company established in this city one of the most complete book binding and manufac turing concerns in the south; one that turns out as good work and at better prices than can be got in any city north or west. Specimens of this work can bo seen in many of our banks, and mercantile con cerns, and command admiration when over exhibited. Yet there are leading houses in Amer icas, who have steadily refused for year to even allow The Times bindery to bid or estimate on that work, sending it off to New York, Philadelphia or Chioago, regardless of quality or prices offered right at their doois, by a home concern. It is true that tills industry has so far succeeded in spite of this defection, but the point Is none tbe less well taken, and there are no doubt other enterprises leas able to stand tho lost of home sup port, that are in tho same category with The Times bindery. If you want Americus to prosper, and thereby make you prosperous, support home enterprises, even at a reasonable difference in prices, else be consistent while patronizing foreign concerns, and say that you don't want manufacturing concerns in Americus, But prefer to get work done abroad, all other things be ing equal. These facts are commended to the thoughtful attention of those who preach in Americus and practice abroad. One of tbe most crying needs of the present is reform In the method of ad ministering justice, whereby murderers and felons can under color of law defeat justice for yeart, If not altogether. Gov ernor Northon has called attention to -the unnecessary delays in the enforce ment of the criminal laws, and recoin mends such legislation as,will put an end to it The other day a St Louis afternoon papor took a poll of one hundred Mis souri editors, regarding their ohoiee of a candidate for president In 1892, and tbe result was 48 declared for Cleveland, 28 for Blaine, 15 for Harrlaon, 10 for Mc Kinley and the others scattered. Thta vote ihows quite plainly that Cleveland's popularity la by no means on the decline, baton the contrary, that he Is just ai strong with the people as be waa when, .filling the presidential chair. The Michigan legislature which has just adjourned waa tho first de inocratio legislature that bad assembled In Michi gan for many years, and it got down to buslneaslu a style that ohallehgea tbe admiration of the politicians the coun try over. Tho first thing this legisla ture did was to pass a law to ohoose presidential electors from the congrei- tlonal districts, and then It proceeded to apportion the districts so as to make them all democratic. There wasn't any* thing small about the Michigan legisla ture. The backbone of the opposition to tho re nomination of Gov. Campbell way broken when the Hamilton county con vention elected a solid delegation for him, despite the fact that It was thought sure that the eounty would declare for Neal. It Is now evident that there will be little, If any, opposition tto Campbell when the Democratic State Convention meets at Cleveland on the 14th of this month, and there la every reason to be lieve that be will be nominated by accla mation an] the convention will put an end to all diwi-ntions which have exist ed in the |iariy, and that the Democrats will go Into tho fight united and deter mined to win. 1’rohauly one of the most injudicious mores ever made was that of the Termi nal system, In putting up coal rates just before the legislature met and getting tbe public temperature op to 212 In tbe shade, in the nick of time to insure boa- tile legislation, that was only defeated last year by the moat careful manage ment of the railway management Per haps this la, however, not an oversight, bnt-a simple throwing down of gauntlet to tbqpnbUe by the Terminal tha celebrated language of Vanderbilt •ay, “The pnblio be damned.' . THE SUB-TREASURY IN TENNESSEE. A prominent Tennessee alltanceman, whose views hare weight In Ills section, expresses himself upon the sub-treasury measure in tho following language : “I am opposed to the measure, have ever been, which fact is well known to all who have heard mo express my vlows on tbe subject While unquestionably, the farmers have a right to organize for their own protection and the promotion of their own Interests, and also a right to a fair representation in our legisla tive connolla, that the great agricultural interests of the country may bo guarded with zealous caro, yet, I think the sub- treasury measure deceptive In ita nature and It will not bring the desired relief to farmers, nor tbe country In general. It Is quite evident to my mind that tbe greatest burden thefarmere have to bear Ib that imposed upon them by the operation of the tariff laws. True this tax.is grlovous to all, but more so to the farmer, because In addition to general merchandise he haa to buy for the use and comfort of his family, he has also to buy farming Implements and machin ery at a high protected price. He has also to lubmit to a depression in prices if bis products, owing to the orippled Condition of our oommercc, caused by the operation of a protective tariff. We should not allow the sub-treasury or any other question to obscure tbe rosin Issue, which Is tariff reform, through tbe success of which will come the grestest relief to tho country, and espe cially to the farming clast. Let us, therefore, adhere all tbe more clotely to the principles of tho demo cratic party, for tbe success of the demo cratic party affords us the only avenue of relief from the burdens of an iniqui tous tariff tax and the ravages of unjust trusts and combinations. I THE CIGARETTE TAX. ’ For good, sound, old-fashioned, hard, common sense, the following from the pater familias of the Constitution Is to be commended to all those so-called beads of households who haven't backbone enough to control their boys, and want the legislature to assume that responsi bility for them: A gentleman who ought to he posted re marked the other day that the consumption of cigarettes had Increased ten per cent. In this city since the recentordlnanee of the city council taxing this article of tobacco 4200. It seems to be the same old tale of for bidden fruit being the sweetest, and the cig arette manufacturers, who are the most ex tensive advertisers In the world, do nut seem tc be troubling themselves at this mauner of ad verilalng. It la all right to prohibit the aale of ciga rettes at all to boys and to pass stringent laws to prevent the aalo of drugged or adul terated cigarettes to anybody; but to single out this special product for attack and make It the ecape-goat of the weed In all other forms appears to be a matter of questionable wisdom. The best law to prevent a boy from smoking cigarettes la a paddle In the hands ofaeturdyparent. It Is a summary cure and when pronerly applied never falls to sc* com llsh good results. A boy who can be prevented for a time from securing cigarettes because he cannot easily get them, will generally see to It that cheap cigars, or tobacco in some shape, sopp , .!ed.aad,wlll go to;the trouble oftentimes of providing himself with cigarettes by easy evasion of the law. The use of tobacco In any form Is deleterl ous to a maturing boy, and it Is the duty of parents to prevent the use, not only of cigar ettes, but of tobacco many shape. Ifthepo- lice were required to notify parsnts emJ guardians of the youths who All their bodies with nicotine end cigarette fumes, It would be better than to put a premium on the sale, ae Is now the case. If tho parental authority does not exercise itself but little result can be accomplished by an appeal to the law. There Is danger that we are drifting to too much epeclal legisla tion and losing sight of too many of tho old customs that were lawt, and which gave power to tbe parent to regulate with the strap. Gov, Xorthex will be a candidate for re-election. Mr. Fat Calhoun's friends contemplate putting him In the field, too, If the conditions are favorable. Mr. Calhoun and Mr. Watson are looking forward to the senatorahip when Mr. Colquitt’i term expires. Senator Col quitt’s days have almost passed. Joe Brown has surrendered the political sceptre. Gen. Gordon cannot bo with us but a few years more at the most With the passing of this great trium virate, new men will take their places. But those who do go the front must fight hard for the prize. In the now order of tilings which is coming, Savannah should have a hand. Political coalitions are natural and necessary. It will be South Georgia’s fault if at the proper moment, she does not present a man who can command the respect and co operation of the leadeis In Middle and North Georgia.—Savannah News. It is said that Mr. Carnegie will seek a seat In the British parliament at the next election. Should he succeed, he will be obliged to swear allegiance to the queen, and this country will lose a citizen who has been particularly loud and frequent in his protests of loyalty to American Ideas. With the great wealth whloh tbe American tariff has enabled him to accumulate, Mr. Carne gie should be able to secure a baronetcy at least In his native country, and be come quite a social as well as a financial magnate.
