The latch atring Ison the outside for tho alliancomen at The Times-Recob- deb office. IIox. Jebrv Simpson, the Kansas statesman, will ho a central figure In Americus to-day. When the legislature gets through with tho railroads it will kohard to toll who the real owners aro. AhKriits will entertain the largest crowd to-day that ever assembled in a southwest Georgia town. Ir is said to lie a foregone conclusion v that Savannah and Urunswick are going to be in separato congressional districts . New York Republicans want to see ■Chaunccy M. IJ.ipew run for governor. They believe in having fun if not in win ning votes. Col. IIenhy attkhson, of tho es teemed Courier-Journal, announces that Gov. III11 is “not in it” as a presidential possibility. The Rome Tribune prescribes a lot of pretty girls as the best means of keeping tho boys at homo at night. This docs not mean the boys’ sisters. Senatoh Caulisle, of Kentucky, lias declared against the new state constitu tion. The new Instrument is having a a hard time becoming a law, . Athens is preparing for a grand dem onstration at the Alliance rally In that elty. The Ledger estimates that there will be twenty or twenty-five thousand farmei. at the meeting. Conqbkssuan Oatks, of Alabama, denies the Interviews which mako him aay that the lino must be drawn between the democratic party and the alliance, and pronounce, them as bogus. Mil J. Monhok Heiskell writes to the New York Sun denying the state- i mont that the graves of Presidents Mon roe and Tyler, In Hollywood cemetery, Richmond, are uncared for, Dun’s agency chronicles Georgia's business failures for the six months of 1891 with (3,074,300 against (302,930 In 1890 and (089,370 in 1879. One conoern seems to have run up the figures for this year. , Tuibty-eioiit mombers of- tho noxt legislature of Mississippi have been nom inated to date. Of this number the best estimate gives Senator George the votes of 31, leaving the 7 romsining for Maj. Barksdale. JUDGE FOItT'K RESIGNATION. The, announcement of Judge Fort’s resignation which was made in Atlanta Saturday, was not unexpected, although he docs not assume the duties of bis new- office for two months yet. This is done so that the Legislature may settle the question of his successor as early as practicable; and the election of the new judgejis expected to take place this week. It is now believed that Col. Fisli of Oglethorpe will have no opposition for the place Owing to Judge Fort's prominent con nection witli tlie legislation that created tho Railroad Commission, and the large acquaintance witli transportation ques tions brought about by his preparation of the bills that substantially became the commission law, the people of Geor gia will have their expectations raised quito high as to the rank tliat Judge Fort will occupy upon the Board, for though Ids special branch is the law, he has spent much time since his appointment last December in a most thorough study of railroad questions In general; and it is not too much to Bay that, while he will not suffer in comparison witli his eminent legal predecessors in tho special field where ids functions will chiefly lie, lie will rank along with the very best men who have filled seats on that Board in the fields of technical railroad knowl edge and general affairs. Judge Fort will recognize that the peo ple by common consent regard him as the Moses that led them out of the £gypt of railroad bondage, and that therefore more will be expected of him than a man of less -conspicuous antecedents; and he has made up his mind that the people shall not bo disappointed in the work be will do upon teh bord. It is ti Ue that at present the powers of our commission are limited, owing to the extension of most of our railways into several states where the Georgia commissioners have no jurisdiction; but as there seems to be little doubt that the present legislature will inerease tliolr powers, tho field for good work in be half of both the railroads pud the people may bo well worthy the attention of our most distinguished statesmen, lawyers good organ, when the portals are wide and men of affairs. j open to you at all times to come-up to Judge Fort's appointment was due not the front and bo heard of all men, only to his eminent fitness for the place, Ohio Democrats are working the Brit ish plan of placarding the state with earn- palgu posters. They are pasting up Blaine's statement that the McKinley bill did not open a markot for another bushel of wheat nor another- barrel of pork. Judge GobebIu Atlanta asks Ryan, the merobant who mimed his business tad himself by fast living, to give the names of the parties to whom he mado bis gambling losses in New York. The pnblio may now prepare Itself for some •tartling disclosures ^ If Ryan wishes to give everything away. A bill has been Introduced In the leg islature to authorise the oity of Atlsnts to ehatg« a license of (2,S00 a year for the sale of olgarettes or to prohibit it altogether. The bill is a sweeping one, and luoludes all etgaibtte materials, pa pers, etc., and if passed the cigarette will be pimotlcally excluded from the Gate City. Habmson's administration has offered up the bead of Bank Examiner Drew as a scape-goat for the sins of Wanamaker . and Lacy In the Key Stone bank affair, but thsy will find that the publle de mands more than Bank Examiner Drew., He was the smallest fish In the kettle, ■nd will not be aocepted as a sufficient atonement for Postmaster General Wan amaker, Assistant secretary Nettleton, Attorney General Miller and Comptroller of the Currency Lacy, all of whom have had to make explanations of their con nections with this bank, and none of whose explanations explained anything, The Increase of the consumption of alcohol In France Is exciting the alarm of French publla men anxious for.the fu ture of their country. The tax returns show that year by year a greater propor tion of the liquors which contain a large per centage of alcohol are consumed. They are deserting the light wines which they have always consumed In Urge quantities, but which left them tho soberest people of Europe, for the heavy alcoholic drinks which hare proved such a curse to Teufcmio and Scandinavian peoples. The ohange Is •scribed In Urge pert to the improve- mmiU In the processes of dUtilllng, 1 have made alcohol far oheaper > than ever before. but also to the fact that Southwest Geor gia, tho cradle of tho commission, was entitled to a greater share of recognition In the management of the affairs of State than had boon heretofore accorded, Tho Southwestern circuit lias lost a good Judge; and the Railroad Commis sion has gained a capable 'member. AN UNPREJUDICED TRIBUTE. The Boston Herald, the leading jour nal of Now England, and a newspaper that rises above narrow-minded parti sanship and sectional hatred, pays the following worthy tribnto to the South. Speaking of the proposed monumont to Jefferson Davis, the Horald takes occa sion to say; "Thoro Is a noblo liberality about tho Southern people that commands general admiration. When they do a thing their ambition U to do it well, and they seo.n to have. In common with all races of tho warm countries, an Instinctive percep tion of and respect for art. Their lately expressed determination to raise a monu ment to Jefferson Davis Is accompanied by thoir Intention of fixing the cost at (1,000,0.70. Such an expenditure seoms large, but It will be found that placing the outUy on a generous basis U the only way to secure the highest artistic results, and a result that la alone com patible with work of a unique oharacter and enduring naturo. There la another lesson that these ardent Southerners also teach us, and that is tho loyalty to the memory of those men whom they doomed to have served then). What s reproof to the North If a monument to Jefferson Davis should be In place before the memory of Grant Is befitlingly com memorated. But already these earnest people have put ut> five statutes to Lee, Johnston and Jackson. What secret have they of stirring laggard natures or quickening somnolent gratitude? we might ask.” ' A PERTINENT QUESTION. Last year the country had an income of (60,000,000 from the sugar imported, the rate of duty being two cents a pound. The last congress made sugar free, and offered a bounty of two cents per pound for every pound produced in the United States. It Is required that tliu applications for the bounty should be iu by the first of July, the beginning of the fiscal year. Applications enough have bcon filed to require about (13,000,000 to pay the bounty. This makes a difference of (73,000,000 In the incomo of the country for the present fiscal year, and If the su gar raisers Increase their production as rapidly next year at they did last, with in the next four or five years the coun try will have to pay to the sugar raisers (73,000,000 as a bounty. Why is it that the man who raises su gar should receive a bounty, while the one who raises cotton or tobacco or wheat or corn pays a tax? b it a more exalted business? Is the sugar planter entitled to more benefits than any other farmer? Hera Is a question that the Democrats should keep before the people of the country.

This better than fighting Indians at 115,000 a year, FAIR PLAY FOR EVERYBODY. / The position for a newspapep to occupy In Its community, and , Ads is especially true where there Is only one, is that its columns be opciyto everybody upon all sides of all questions of public concern, so that people can air their views, attack one thing or defend an other with all the freedom consistent with good mariners, and tho amenities of journalism. If a paper advocates edito rially a certain view (and a paper advo cates any question in no other way), that does not close the door to a reply from any one of different views; on the con trary, a properly conducted journal should invite argument and discussion from Its opponents. For example, The Tihes-Recobueh la not the organ of certain people who may express in its columns their own opinions on finance, politics or religion its columns aro open to all; and the ed itor will advocate or oppose the theories advanced just as he may think best. The expression of editorial opini >n by this paper, and the publication of tho opinions of other people, with or with out comment, must not bo construed as excluding views to tho contrary, If pre sentod in proper language; for the news paper of a community should be the vchiclo for tho expression of tho views of all classes of its people, who feel dis posed to come beforo tho public. The Times-Recohdeb is moved tc state this fact, that should bo under stood by everybody, for the reason that some people who differ with The Timf.s- Recokdkh upon some public Issues claim that they have no “organ," and cannot have their side properly present ed, or got a “square deal.” To all such The Times-Recordek would say that whether they write in advocacy of, or In opposition to views expressed by the editor or by corres pondents, shall reach the public through these coldmns, with the utmost impar tiallty and fairness of treatment. If you have a theory to advocate, or a humbug to oppose, come along up to the sanctum, with your manuscript; and don't sulk and kick around the street corners behind the back of the great and CUTTING: ATTAIN. .A.T ; — THE COTTON OUTLOOK. Returns for the month of June to the department of agriculture, show a slight improvement on the condition of the cotton crop. Favorable weather during the month throughout the whole cotton belt has made the general average for the whole bolt advance three points, standing at 88.6. The crop is universally late and is somewhat grassy, but the farmers aro getting a move ou things now. In Tox- the outlook is brighter than in any other southern state, and it Is farther advanced than in any other section. The worms have not gotten In any of their work oxcept in two counties, both of whleh are in Texas, The crop will be a very late one, and will depend largely upon good weather stretched over a long season. It can hardly bo expected that as large a crop of cotton will bo marketed this year as last year. There will be a large decrease In tho number of bales put upon the market. This will be more to the benefit of the farmer, however, as It will In all proba bility keep prices at a higher mark than they were during tho last season. The farmers had bad weather daring the early part of the season, but they are making up for lost time now.
