Major Speer*® article on financial l»- sucs fn last weeVs Times-Recobder lias provoked a good deal cf comment, both favorable and advene, and his views on the subject, coming at this par ticular juncture, when the free silver and national banking questions are up permost, are quite opportune, and will set people to thinking Some people protest that no matter what may be the need for more money, the country cannot afford to return to the old wild cat ante-bellum system of state banks, while many others think any sort of money even if not of the gilt edged variecy is preferable to none at all. Tiie people of this generation have become educated up to a national cur rency, secured by United States bonds, TBE WEEK1I PJUE80. A crank tried to kill the president of j curre nt in every part of the land, about France on Monday, but the Guiteau act | w j,i c h no question ever arises as to was averted by the poor aim of the would-be assassin. Tub Timks-Rkcokdkk has it from good authority that the Georgia delega tion in Congress will cast a solid vote for Crisp for speaker.

Southwest Georgia is the Eldorado. —Augusta Chronicle. which bank issues it, or even if it be a hank bill at all, the common people re ally scarcely recognizing any diffeience between a national bank bPl and a United States treasury note, Track laying on the Abbeville and Way cross railroad is progressing finely, and the locomotive is pushing ahead into unexplored timber lands. Mr. T. B. Fuller, of the Abbeville Times, has just returned from a trip to the mountains of nortlieast Georgia, and is giving his readers some interesting letters about that section. The Warren county alliance is oppos ed to an appropriation for the World’s fair. It thinks that $100,000 is too much to spend upon an exhibit of the “veteran demagogues” at Chicago. The Weekly Press Association met in Atlanta Tuesday and left yesterday for Washington and New York. The boys had their wives and sweethearts along, and the wiregrass region is well repre sented.

The last grand jury of Wilcox county recommended that the county court be abolished, but the Times urges that the The Riclinwntl Terminal company [ u(> t() guch a , vgtenli to put the old does not seem to fear the Georgia legis-j gUt)J bankiDg la ' w ink> effect. A compromise between the present lature. The Atlanta Constitution an nounces that the general ottices of the company will bo moved from Richmond to Atlanta. Editoh William Rule baa withdrawn from the congressional race in Tennes see. Who ever beard of an editor being ruled out before ? “Go to the Georgia editor thou sluggard, consider his ways, and become wiso.” TnE new constitution of Kentucky seems to suit both parties. It must be a queer document. It is evidently com posed of a first-class article of old bour bon. That always “goes down” with all parties in Kentucky. A PARTY of five hundred Methodists is said to have sailed from New York to visit the birth-place of Susannah Wes ley in England. They might go a little further on the same line of pilgrimage and weep oyer the grave uf Adam as did Mark Twain. R. C. Duncan, of Washington, D. C., accused of murderously assaulting ills wife at Bcttsw-y-Cocd, North Wales, has been acquitted on the ground of insani ty. He lost his mind trying to master the pronunciation of the jim-jamry name of that Welsh town. The Brunswick Times has made it warm for the New York World on ac count of the yellow fever articles in that paper. It has succeeded in bringing the great newspaper to make an editorial ac knowledgment of its error in giving.pub- licity to the idle rumors. Secuetauy Blaine tells an Aasociat- ed Press correspondent that the stories about hit serious illness are not true. He saya that he takes no medicine, has a good appetite, sleeps well, and drivoa oat every day. This would indicate that the secretary la In pretty good health. Ir the present legislature will fix the salaries of the representative* at so much per annum Initeiul of » per diem, the question of long sessions would be aolred. There are very few men who work for glory thoM days, and the nee- essary work of the legislature would be finished in short order. One of thoM unreasonable men who takes a paper for a year or two, and then Mods It back "refused” or"not wanted,” was sued by a publisher In Michigan a short time ago, and the judge gave a verdict for the plaintiff of full amount and costs. The oourt decided that no tice to discontinue wae not sufficient If the subscriber was In arrears. He must pay first. Secretary Rusk baa (370,000 which he can spend in salaries and wages out side of Washington on the weather bu rcau account In addition to the (300,000 which be can expend for local station obMrrations. No other cabinet offioer has (070,000 directly under hit personal control. Congresa gave it to Secretary Rusk because he asked It In the name of the farmers. It will be Interesting to see what use he makes of it. Tiie other day, a cat was killed by lightning, and was found to be com pletely elcotro plated with silver. The lightning struck a allvei-plated sword on the wall, completely stripped It of the silver, and transferred It to the cat sleep ing on a sofa just under the sword. It is thought that the plating of the cat's body will prevent decay. Now wouldn’t this feline make an elegant "office cat” for some of those so-called Democratic papers that are opposed to the sliver bill? Evangelist Sam Small has been tackling Gol. Bob Ingersoll in the most vigorously Informal way known to his style of gospel. Col. Bob was not pres ent and there was no one to talk back for him. If toere iiau been the crowd would probably have been much more tickled than it was. But the Rev. Sam had the sun all bii way, and Aibury Park went fairly wild with delight Jer sey takes to Sam very kindly. That’a a good place for him .to take root and grow up with the country.—Savannah News. National Banking system and the ancient plan would seem to be tiie best that can be hoped for at present; and may prove the most satisfactory solu tion. Tills would consist in the issue of state bank bills secured by stato bonds, or the first mortgage bonds of well established trunk-line railways, upon approval of the security by the proper state officer, and a deposit with the Treasurer. An issue of bank bills to the par value of the Georgia bonds deposited with the .State Treasurer to secure the issue, would be acceptable to every body in Georgia, and in the entire Union—except Henry Clews in Now York; and such money would be as good as any National Bank bills ever issued, The same might be said of issues based upon Georgia Railroad, Central Railroad and other well known bonds of similor kind. Such a scheme could put into circula tion in Georgia five to ten million dollars of good sound currency; and a similar movement in other states would soon give the people all the money needed to relieve the financial stringency. All that need be done after a repeal by congress of tiie prohibitive tax of ten per cent, on such local issue, would be for tbu legislature to pass stringent laws as a safeguard against fraud and irregu larity ; and the financial questions now stirring the country would have gone very far towards a practical solution. What say our financiers to state bank money secured as above Indicated? Wbat say the alllancemen, who want tbo sub-tho sub-treasury bill, or “some thing better?” Let the people reason together on tboM vital questions; and from the con census of all views from all aides, that truth Is aura to be evolved. Tub proposition mide by Dr. Palmer in the recent anti-lottery meeting in New Orleans, to retort to revolution!! necessary in order to defeat the re-cbar ter of the New Orleans Lottery Compa ny, oontlnnea to meet .with appiaoM and support In north Louisiana. At Bonita, In Morehouse, parish, at CulbartMn, in Ltneoln pariah, and at a large number of other smaller towns and villages In the northern portion of the etate, where the oppoeltlon to the lottery compary is the strongest, Dr. Palmer's anti-lottery speech and appeal to revolution wae read in lieu of the declaration of independ ence at the Fourth of July celebrations held. These sentiments have hitherto been confined to the country parishes, bnt the Anti-lottery Leagne of the eighth and ninth wards of New Orleane has strongly endorsed Dr. Palmer’s speech and views as to a revolution If necessary. The following compliment to our new judge le from tho Atlanta Constitution: "I know of no man In this state,” said Secretary Harris, "who la more entitled to credit for hta advancement then Judge William H. Fish,- A young man when fals fsthsr was assassinated, the main support of his family fell upon his shoulders, and everything that came to his band to do, be did and did well. He has been an able county judge for over fourteen years, and he goes to tlu supe rior bench by the unanimous vote of the legislature. Such an endorsement is a compliment tdauy man and it has been givon to one in every way deserving of it. He will make an admirable succes sor to Crisp and Fort.” Mil Fleming, of Richmond lias intro duced a bill In the house to reapportion the senatorial districts of the state so as to give Fulton, Chatham, Richmond and Bibb one senator each, and divide up the remaining forty among the other conn- ties of the state. These four counties already have three representatives caCH^ . which is two more tliap the majority of the counties of the state have, and this ahould be sufficient to satisfy them. They get all the legislation they need and the only object to be gained la to give another office to these four coun ties,'to the detriment of the smaller one*. that a solicitor can be appointed, court has never had a solicitor. To go back therefore to a system of law creating the court be amended so stato bank issue, where a bill is good, bad or indifferent, according to the bonk which issues it, will be a radical depart ure from present methods, which will be strenuously opposed; and it will be im possible, until the people are educated Our entire stock of Black Embroidered Flouncings—just think of it!

In bis latest statement Mr. YVana- makcr allowed his tongue to run away with him. Speaking of the fraudulent stock issued by the Keystone bank, le said: Granvlll B. Haines and Lawyer Huey, with Marsh, came to Washington and saw me with reference to seme settlement of the claim I had against the stock. I said that np to that time no person except Marsh had called the legality ol the stock into question. Now that the vice president of the bonk and Mrs. Lucas's lawyer added their testimony, I felt obliged to aay that they must either settle with me nr 1 could not, In Justice to myself, allow the comptroller of the cur- rency to longer remain In Ignorance of the fact that It was claimed that there had been an Illegal Issue of stock. Now, here is a plain admission by Mr. Wanamaker that he tried to force a settlement that would take his fraudu lent stock off his hands by threatening to expose the illegality of tho stock to the comptroller of the currency! There is nothing like it in our official annals. Mr. Wanamaker publicly avows his blackmailing operations with a smile as childlike and bland as the ono ho wears before his Bible class at Bethany. He calmly admits Ills crookedness and is not ashamed. Is the administration prepared to carry John Wanamaker on its back in the coming campaign ? The Boston Herald is not in the habit of making a forecast of political events, but nevertheless it ventures the opinion that in the event that tho nomination of Mr, Cleveland Is not deotnod desirable next year, Gov. Hill will not get the prise, but the presidential ticket of the Democratic party will be headed by Wm. C. Whitney, wb'o, it la laid, la rapidly growing in popularity In New York. The Hendd, however, declares that.after carefully studying the political situation, it is constrained to -believe that there 111 be no serious opposition in any sec tion of the country to the nomination of Mr. Cleveland. Congressman Herbert of Alabama entertains a almllar opinion, and say* that tbe popularity of Cleve land in Naw York was demonstrated by the hearty manner In wbiob hie name was oheered by the Tammany celebra tion on July 4th. The Republicans of Iowa are bolting their party, and reports received from that state show men who have boon prominently Identified with the Repub lican party for the past thirty year* or more an announcing their Intention to vote for Gov. Boles nt the coming elec* tton. There was n time when the boast was mado that the Republican party wm the party of moral Ideas, bat owing to' the fact that Quay, Bardsley, Wana maker and Dudley are now leading membera of the party m well as its boodlers, we do not hear so jnnoh about the party being moral, bntwjuite to the contrary the drift of the ttvi shows that decent men are deserting It In all parts of the country.
