"Very Respectfully, ■A.MEKICTJS, GEORGIA. A GIGANTIC I1UMUIU. The White Slave* of Protection Painted by a Republican Organ. When Walter Heaant wrotq his novel, “The Children of Gibeon,” picturing the awful wretchedness of the sewing girls of London, Amorlcan readers did not dream that the same condition of aiTairs also existed in this country, yet the re cent exposure of the "sweater system” in Chicago has shown to the world that the white slaves of our protected indus tries are even moro miserable than the unfortunates of London. In Chicago it was discovered that women and girls aro wearing out their lives sewing twelve hours a day for $1.08 per week, and commenting on this fact, the Clii cago Journal, a republican organ and howling supporter of the McKinley tar iff, has the following to say: “Tbeso scenes of wretchedness [in the protected clothing manufactories Chicago] are the product of a remorse less business competition. The values which these poor slaves create go almost directly Into the coffers of great business houses. But the rich merchants do not feel that they are to blame. Their idoa is that business is business, and charity is charity. They see no way to do ex cept to buy as cheap as they can, sell at the best that the market will yield, and donate to the poor whatever sum they see tit out of their profits. They decline to interfere with the laws of trade,which they consider as inexorable as the laws of physics. If ohlldren 10 years old have to sew twelve hours a day for $1.08 a week, they disclaim any responsibility for It," These protected manufacturers of clothing are growing rich while their employes, living in the utmost squalor, are vainly struggling against starvation and disease, and yet Mr. McKinley who Is on the stump In Ohio to-day Is telling the people of that state that the tariff increases the wages of the working classes, and prevents them from being brought Into competition with the pau per labor of Europe. In all parts of the country, however,the veil Is being lifted and the people are seeing the tariff swindle In all of Its Iniquity, and > they are preparing to strike down the politi cal party which Is {responsible for the robbery and oppression. The publication of tbe sufferings of the sewing women of the protected clothing factories of Chicago came In ill time for Hr. McKinley, because the Democratic press of Ohio are reciting facts regarding the condition of tbe poor wretches In refutation of the assertions of the high taxes that his tariff protects and elevates American labor, and already the Republican organa whloh at first cried out against tbe wlekednes of the sweater system," as it Is called, have suddenly become dumb in regard to the matter, because they realize that the exposure of the fact that employes of factories are paid 8 cents a dozen for sewing trousers, and that a whole week of bard drudgery only nets them tbe miserable pittance of $1.08 la also a ter rible exposure of the hypocrisy of the men who have been holding up tbe tariff system as a panacea for all tlie ills of wblcb tbe Buffering and discontented people complain. CHILDISH FOI.LV. the ne !• Here. Mr. Lawrence A. Dorr, of tbe cele- brated tailoring establishment of August Dorr, Augusta , arrived in the city yes terday, and will spend several days here showing samples of the handsomest suitings ever imported to America. Dorr lias bad a representative abroad the entire summer in the leading Euro pean markets, and has selected a line of goods which for style and beauty are unsurpassed In tbe United States. Tbe friends and patrou9 of Dorr's es tablishment will be pleased to see Mr. Lawrence Dorr In Americas agsin; and it goes without saying that he will carry off a lot of orders that will in a short time cause Americas to be one of tbe best dressed cities In the country. Don't forget the parlor entertainment to-night at the residence of M. B. Coun cil, at Rees Park. ’ A Well Administered ICelmkt- Colored People. A case came before Judge PUsbury yesterday, in which an old colored mau was sentenced to the chain-gang for in- terferiug with a policeman in the dis charge of Ilia duty. From the evidence it seems that a son of the defendant was under arrest for tcaling a coat. While being taken to the lock-up by Policeman Fagan, cowd of colored people followed tlio youngster and tbo policeman and inter fered with the officer in tbo discharge of his duty. Among tbe crowd was tbo father of tbe boy under arrest, who very foolishly attempted to rescue him Of course, this attempt at rescue was simply idiotic, and only resulted in the arrest of tbe father on the above charge, After the son had Ipleaded guilty of tbe theft of the coat, the old man (his father) was arraigned on tlie charge of attempting to rescue him from the po liceman. He was found guilty and sen tenced to the ohalngang for six months. This ought to be a warning to colored people. This class have an insane habit of following policemen whenever they make an arrest, and in some way inter fering with the course of law. Wblto people never do anything of the kind. They know bettor. It is to be hoped that hereafter colored people will mind their own business, and quit following policemen when they make arrests. What Shall It Us? That is the question to bo asked in tbe meeting this afternoon of tbe board of directors of tbe "Hotel Company," as It is familiarly called. It la more than likely, too, tbat the question will be answered one way or another, as the date of completion Is ao near that a name is badly needed. While there are scores of pretty and appropriate names, many of whloh have been suggested through tbe columns of Tub Timks-Recordkr, there Is one that seems to ootno nearest of all of filling the requirements, and that is “The Windsor." Around this name linger associations of regal splendor{for many generations In English history; “Windsor Castle" being the residence of England’s royal family, and a name that has carried with It, wherever our language la spoken, all that U attractive and atyllsh In the way of hotel names. By common usage, only first-class hotels are named “Tlie Windsor;" and apart from the historical associations derived from England, there la a sonor ous beauty about the name that cannot fall to place and attract even the most fastidious. Can anybody find any fault with tbe name of “Wldsor ?” If so, what Is the objection ? There are only a few hotela of that namo—and none in Georgia; and these few In the North and elsewhere are atrlotly first-class. “The Windsor, Amerleus, Ga., sounds “toney” enough for anybody on earth, even if the want to pay 850 per day board; and they board of directors may go farther for a name and do much worse, If they pass “Tbe Windsor” by for something leas regal.

The official estimates of the damage done liy the recent cyclone which swept over the island of Martinique places tlie amount at $10,000,000, and says that 878 people lost their lives.

Miles made his ?sca]« after the shooting and is still at large. The fall of President Bolmaceds, of Chili, is received with general satisfac tion at Berlin. Tlie position of tbe new Balmscedsn warship President* Pinto, which is now at Kiel, is a matter of discussion among naval officers owing to tbe different circninstances which now attach to her. Her commander expects to remain at Kiel until he can obtain orders from the constituted gov ernment at Santiago de Chili. A short truce has been patched up be tween the advocates of the holy coat of Treves ami thuse who uphold the holy coat of Argenteuill in Prance. It ia said to be agreed that the holy coat of At- genteuille is the small coat worn by Christ as u child, while, ucconliug to the Treves doenments, the coat in tlie latter city is that worn by the Saviour at the crnciflxion. Hence th- Congre gation of Rites has decided tbat the two coats belonged to different periods, and that both are geuuine. A Faulkton, 8.
