The Alliance claims to have Fifty-five men in the next House who will vote with it upon all measures. It also claims four senators—Peffer of Kansas, Kyle of South Dakota, Irby of South Carolina, and Vance of North C rolina. The Alliance claims Vance because he was elected after the Legislature of his state had passed a resolution that no man could be chosen Senator until he had agreed to a programme which was practically that of the Alliance. Mr. Vance having agreed to those resolu tions, the Alliance now claims him as its iwn. At the next session the sub-treasury The next thing wanted is a new city hall.

Ily these means tourists can be booked for their southern trips, so as to include .Americus and the new Windsor; and the ’railroad passenger agents are the peo ple with whom to arrange this pro gramme. In this connection some work will now have to done with the railroads to make Americus a tourists* terminal point, where stop-overs can be made; else this place can only be reached by special effort aud extra expense. General Passen^ct Agent Goodman, of the Savannah, Americus fil Montgomery, can be relied on to do his full share of work in his special field, if other Ameri cas people equally interested will do as much. Let the good work begin right now, before all the railway schedules for tourists are made up and Americus and the Windsor left out. Shall we go in, or shall we stay out? THE BERNER RILL. With one eye wabbling around so as to catch a possible winlc of approval from the Alliance; ana the other yanked over his shoulder with a longing glance to wards the capltol at Washington, the railroad wrecker Berner, is again hedg ing some of the anarchical features of his railroad bill, by introducing another that will permit railroads, which, by the operation of his pending bill, would ho swallowed up in a financial maelstrom for violating its provisions—to come under the tax laws of the state where they are now exempt, and thus save their bacon. “It is made the duty of the railroad commission, with the aid of the attorney general, to institute proceedings against any railroad company or other corpora tion now exempt from taxation for any violation of its charter, heretofore or hereafter committed, and said corpora tion may relieve itself of all penalties for said violations by filing with the sec retary of state consent, in writing, to submit to taxation; and when said con sent is so filed, It shall constitute and be an amendment to the charters of all said corporations to the extent of subjecting them to taxation for all purposes/* SOLD OUT. The Hustler of Rome says: “We have it from good authority that the White Star Line Stemboat Company has sold out to the East Tennessee, Vir ginia A Georgia, and that Capt John J. Seay holds the responsible position of general freight agent for the great East Tennessee road. “And so another important line of transportation running into and out of this city has been gobbled up by the Terminal system, and the Coosa river farmers are reached by one of Pat Cal houn’s arms. “While every Roman will regret to learn that Capt. Seay has seen tit to sell this important line which he has owned and operated for so many years they will be pleased to learn that he will re main in charge of the Hue and that the business will be conducted as formerly. “The thousands of friends of Capt. Seay will also be pleased to hear that he is now the general freight agent of the East Tennessee system and as such re ceives a handsome salary. The prophet of the Atlanta Constitu tion says: There’* lot* of work being done for and arainst the Berner railroad bill, but the chance* *eem to b* in favor of It* tie .'eat. H is to be sincerely hoped by every patriotic citizeu of Georgia that this will bo true, for few greater calamities could overtake the state than to have her railroads financially crippled by the passage of so unwise and useless a law. In accepting thc nomination for the governorship of New York, Roswell P. Flower declared that he would carry the party standard to victory. But Jones of Binghamton swears he will not “pay tho freight,” and so New York is in a muddle, as usual. Col. 8. B. Pickens, general freight and passenger agent of the South Caro lina railway, died In Charleston Monday. ed to a vote. Exactly what changes will he made in the original sub-treasury bill has not yet been determined. Thc southern land loan bill will not be touched by the Alliance. The leaders of the latt r are very much put out be cause the people think the Stanford bill finds favor with them. The Alliance people think that bill is designed to help only those who already have a fair share of this world's goods, and that the only people w ho are booming it are those en gaged in booming Senator Stanford for the presidenoy. As for the Alliance, it declares It will have nothing to do with either Senator Stanford or his bill. The bill on the same subject and in troduced under Alliance auspices will provide for the relief of the agricultural population of tno United States, and for the promotion and eucouragement of agriculture. I s main features will pro vide that any citizeu who owns and re sides upon any tract of land containing not ’ess than ten nor more than 320 acres, and who has at least one-half of that tract in actual cultivation, shall be entitled to apply for and to receive from the treasury of the United States a loan not to exceed one-half the assessed val ue of the laud and the improvements on it. The loans are to be for not less than five nor more than ten years, and the borrower is to pay interest at 2$ per cent. Another measure which the Alliance will push is a free coinage bill. These three measures are tho ones in which it will take the most interest; but other bills will come from its hands. It will have introduced a hill providing for government control of railroads and tel egraph systems. In regard to tho rail road and telegraph companies the Alli ance is misunderstood, it is said at its headquarters. It is not, as is generally supposed, in favor of government owner ship of railroads and the telegraph. It simply wants the government to control them. The Alliance will not bring forward any tariff bill. It will content itself with demanding the equalization of the tariff so that it will bear upon all alike. It will, however, put forward bills to abolish the national banking system. AN ATTACK OF TUE JIMMIES. In the swailing swirl of the soughful wind, as the gust goes glooriug by, I sit by the bole of the baneful borch, with a rooau and a soulful sigh. The mellow ing mists of the eves are low, and the frog In the dankfal marsh chirps chirp- Ingly sad in the ghoulsome gloom, in a swivering voice and harsh: ’Oh, where It the swing of the swoonful ■with, And the voice of tho flim-flam f ml! Methlnkt it moans from the murky mould, And the home of the hootful owl,’ “Now' swivel me swift from the surg ing spring, I’m weary of wold and wind; ■he growsome graik of tho jobberwock comes jimmming to my mind.

Those who sold them will now have to take them back, grease them inside and out, and sell them over again next spring, and sell them for young Ken tucky mules. There are tricks in all trades, and this is no new one.—Fort Valley Leader. Yesterday morning the first lot of the new city charters of the city of Colum bus, declaring the rights and powers of said corporation and for other purposes, together with all ordinances adopted by council from July 1, 1888, to July 1, 1891, were delivered at the city hall by City Printer John S. Stewart. The book is well printed In pamphlet form, and is rendered valuable aod convenient by side marginal notes. The young German, Joseph Nau, who died In Macon Tuesday, was not buried yesterday afternoon, a* was Intended. Tho burial was stopped by a telegram from the sorrowing girl who was to have been his bride, saying she had left Peoria, Ind., and would arrive In Macon this morning, and asking that the body be allowed to remain where It was until she arrived. It is not known whether or not the young lady will carry her dead lover back to her Indiana home and there lay him to rest or consent to have the body buried in Macon. Beall & Oakley’s.
