Barkley, the defaulting Philadelphia
treasurer, is said to be suffering from
paresis. This Is a scientific paraphrase
of being in chains for general rascality.
Philadelphia boasts of a citizen so
thin that when a railroad train passed
over Lim he escaped unhurt. He was
so flat that an engine couldn’t mash
him. Which is the thinnest, the man or
the story?
The Ohio member of the Republican
national committee says that McKinley
will have 30,000 majority. This means
that 50,000 negroes and whites will be
run across the border from Kentucky
and Indiana on election day.
The Tribune-of-Rome says that “the
man who swallow s the Ocala platform is
no Democrat.” Can’t some of the
“elect” sit up with the Tribune and con
vert It from its heresy? Where is Tom
Watson with his universal double back- J favorite with the liana Ians,
acting mouth?
Tiik farmers gave Ingalls an awful
pounding in Kansas, but they did not
succeed in pounding the wickedness out
of him, for ho still declares himself to
bo a Republican. Thore are a certain
class of sinners that were not born to be
converted,and Ingalls is evidently one of
the tribe.
The August^Chronicle says that if it
were not for the Georgia Legislature,
the editorial pages of some contem
poraries would be as flat as baked water,
and yet the Chronicle turns from this
thrilling repast to dish up Tom Watson
in a column editorial. There’s no ac
counting for tastes.
in compliment to the United States and
at the instance of this country. While
this wa<* described as temporary,and in
tended by the czar as a respite until he
could consult with his political advisers,
it is hoped that it will lead to a perma
nent modification of the oppressive or
ders of expulsion. The matter lias been
very delicately managed, as the action of
the czar in expelling the Jews was a
matter of purely domestic concern, with
which neither the United States nor any
country had anything to do, and a diplo
matic remonstrance would have been
resented, but means were found for put
ting the matter in its proper light before
the czar.
Some time ago a delegation of leading
Jewish citizens, headed by Jesse Selig-
raan, the New York banker, and Oscar
Strauss, ex-minister to Turkey, waited
on President Harrison, and he assured
them that the best efforts of the admin-
istratiou would be used to soften the
rigors which the Russian Jews were en
during. Minister Smith succeeded in
bringing the subject to the czar’s atten
tion in a favorable light, in presenting a
personal message from President Harri
son. After the minister’s departure, re
newed representations were made by
Consul General Crawford. He has rep
resented the United States for many
years at St. Petersburg, and is a great
To his tact
in great measure is duo the willingness
of the czar to suspend the anti-Jowish
policy of the empire. World-w ide inter
est has been taken in the sufferings of
the Russian Jews, and it is a tribute to
the United States that this influence lias
been able to accomplish what all the
rest of the world could not do.
Mr. J. L. Underwood has been con
firmed judge of Mitchell county court.
Additioraal land has been purchased
at Savannah for the colored branch col
lege, and work on the buildings will be
gin at once.
The Clarendon Hotel at Thomasvllle
has closed, and will not reopen under
the old management. Small patronage
seems to have been the cause.
Col. Sid Cook, who was associated
with Editor Turner on the Albany
News and Advertiser, is seeking rest in a
newline of business. He is running a
furniture store in Albany.
Richland wants water works and. pub
lic schools, and the legislature will be
asked to pass a bill authorizing the city
council to issue bonds for the purpose
of raising the necessary funds. Rich
land is plucky, and is willing to under
take anything that will add to her pros
perity and growth.
Hon. Jerry SimpHon made a mash on The
Americus Times-Recorder, and the editor
is plessed to compliment him very highly
his intellect and peculiar knack at winning
people.—Fort Valley Leader.

3i making a fight for tariff reform, and
the Chicago Herald* is advising the

of silver.
The Athens Banner, which was ouce
owned by Larry Gantt, and which there
fore Is no doubt familiar with his gen
eral make-up, says that it was funny how
Larry escaped arrest when his partner
Harry was taken up to answer to the
government about a lottery editorial in
their paper. Larry is a sly one when it

Editor Rkmskn Crawford of the

over the fact that so many ladlos aro

fession of journalism. If Editor Craw

will regret it about thotime the national
convention moots. Judge Crisp is the
man for the speaker’s chair, and both he

Georgia is traded out of the honor, she

There is quite a lively fight between
St. Louis, New York and Chicago for
the next National Democratic conven

Western city, for the roason that a con

present drift of Democratic opinion is
towards a Western man. A convention

A WRATHY SOLON.
On last Friday there was quite a little
breeze in the house of representatives
when Mr. Chappell, of Laurens, arose to
a question of personal privilege. He
charged that Mr. Glenn Waters, who
represents the Macon Telegraph on the
floor of the house, had abused and vil«
lified him in a report of his speech the
day before.
Mr. Chappell was very wratliy, and
went for Mr. Waters with gloves off and
probably no socks on.
Representative Phillips introduced a
resolution calling for the immediate
firing of the offending reporter from the
floor of the house.
Spoaker Howell couldn’t stand this at
tack on the liberty of the press, and got
out of the chair to oppose the resolution.
He said lie had no interest in tho Tele
graph, but he didn’t like such a preced
ent as this resolution would establish.
The House had full confidence in Mr.
Chappell, and nothing the Macon paper
could say would hurt him.
A mollifying resolution was introduced
by a member, and after several .'speeches
It was passed and the storm blew over.
Mr. Waters was saved and still has the
privilege of reporting the House pro
ceedings to Ids paper.
LET WELL ENOUGH ALONE.
The Georgia railroad commission has
again and again demonstrated its ability
and willingness to hold the railroads
within bounds when Justice was on the
side of the people who complained.
Everybody in Georgia should know
that the interests of the public are per
fectly safe in the hands of the commis
sion, and that nothing is now needed but
to let well enough alone.
Yet from the character of many of the
bills going before the Legislature, it
seems that as little confidence is mani
fested in the commissioners as in the
railroad officials whom it is their duty to
regulate.
The commission has the power to fix
in their discretion any rate of freight or
passage they may believe for the joint
interests of the public and the railroads,
and if in their wisdom they believe a 2-
cent rate is best for both, they can In
augurate it, yet some law makor wants
to rob them of their discretion and
make a 2-cent rate compulsory. What
do wo want then with a commission at
all ? Why not abolish it, and let the
Legislature fix the tariff ?

GEORGIA SCHOOL HOOKS
A bill is pending be'oro the general
assembly to muko text books in all the
schools of absolute uniformity. This is
not a good plan, for it is exactly on the
lino of monopoly which tho present
Legislature Is on record as opposing.
Such a law would glvo one set of pooplo
control of the school hook business; bo
sides depriving teachers of the exorcise
of a discretion as to the choice of books
preferred by them on account of special
excellence.
Such a law would be a mistake.
A bill pending on tho schoolbook sub
ject is, however, a good one; and should
bo passed. It is one that prohibits tho
uso in Georgia schools of text books
that-misrepresent the south and falsify
history, and speak of the lato civil war
as a ‘‘rebellion." Our children must ho
taught the truth about the conflict in
which their forefathers fought and died.
Gov. Cami’iikli. Is not worried about
the result of the election in hts state
next fall, ani\ he has either a largo sup
ply of confidence, or is in possession of
certain information which removes his
election beyond the domain of doubt.
In a talk with one of the members of
the staff of the St. Louis Republic, ho
said that he saw nothing to prevent tho
Democrats from going down to Hamil
ton county with a majority of 30,000
votes, and he was quite sure that the
dissatisfaction in that county was not
sufficiently great to offset such majority.
