Americus, Ga., July 28, 1891. 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. Yes, Jeremiah Is a fine, large prophet; and a careful investigation of his ward robe proved that he wore socks. Come again Jerry, and bring your knitting with you, THE New York Sun is trying to knife Governor Campbell in Ohio, because be 3i making a fight for tariff reform, and the Chicago Herald* is advising the democratic party not to give him any assistance, becauso tbo Ohio convention that nominated him adopted in its plat form a plank favoring the free coinage 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 comes to government officors. He has been one himself. v Editor Rkmskn Crawford of the Athens Banner is felicitating himself over the fact that so many ladlos aro making a brilliant success in the pro fession of journalism. If Editor Craw ford Is not already married, it is evident that some fair wlelder of the pen has in duced Cupid to flro an arrow straight Into the inner consciousness of the Athe nian aforesaid. Now lot him own up to the soft impeachment If the Democratic congressmen from New York and New Jersey vote against Judge Crisp for speaker, certain ambi tious politicians from those two states will regret it about thotime the national convention moots. Judge Crisp is the man for the speaker’s chair, and both he .and Georgia deserve the distinction. If Georgia is traded out of the honor, she can’t be expected to caress the hand that makes the deal. And she wili notI There is quite a lively fight between St. Louis, New York and Chicago for the next National Democratic conven tion; but the chances favor largely a Western city, for the roason that a con vention in New York would mean a New York man for the nominee, while the present drift of Democratic opinion is towards a Western man. A convention in New York might mean a fight between 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 ?

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.
