L. L Polk, asserts, editorially, that ‘‘the Alliance Is deter mined to put the old soldier candidates for offico on the shelf.” Tin, patent medicine people arc crowd ing the alphabet in their endeavor to get up unique names for their preparations. We have three B’s, C’s, O's, P's, S's, Seven J*s, Niqe Q*»; and now comes the vory latest, I*. D. Q. “Deacon" S. V. White ot .Vew York has made an assignment. lie tried to corner the September corn market, but tiie enormous crop interfered. His liabil ities are estimated at from a million aud a half to two millions. Mahsuai.1,,. Field & Co., imported $1,400 worth of pearl buttons nnd paid $3,000 duty on the lot. These buttons aro to he sold to the people of Chicago Who will ultimately pay that $1,000 as a tribute to a mistaken economic policy —Chicago Mail. Editoh Howell lias moved into bis now say-parlor in the seventh story of the Constitution building; and on yester day gave a salutatory from that emi nence. It was double leaded, so as to reach down to the ground and servo ns a lire cscapo ladder. Simultaneously with the announce ment that Mr. Dlaluo will uot he a can didate again, comes the news that Dr. Burchard of “Ram, Romanism and Re bellion” fame is about to die. Isn't Mr. Blaine withdrawing from politics just at the wrong timo ? The death of Hon. William L. Scott, ex-member of Congress from the Erie, Pennsylvania district, is a serious loss to the Democratic party of that state. lie was a leading member of the House dur ing tiie terms he served there, aud one who particularly made his mark on tarifl reform. It is said that Gen. Charles W. Field of Virginia is a candidate for doorkeeper of tiie next House. All that General Field needs to do to keep a door—oven a barn door—is simply to stand in It; and passage is barred by the statute of limitation. Gen Field Is upward of six and a. half feet high and weighs nearly one fifth of a ton. Emtoh Bayne of the Augusta Cbron iclo, with a season ticket In his pocket for a seat In the bald-head row during the approaohlng theatrical season, sees visions ahead of twinkling stars. Hear him; “About 0,000 stars are visible to the naked eyo In summer, and about the same number of half uaked atara aro visible to the eye in winter.” “The 04,” In the Legislature have issued an address to the people of Geor gia giving their reasons for not accept ing the Confederate Home In Atlanta. It Is a rather lame excuse and will uot go down with the people at large. Tho old Confederates of Atlanta have decided to answer it, and Gen. W. S. Walker and Dr. J. William Jones will shortly pre pare ar d issue it to the public. Hebe is a puzzler for the geologists: A report comes from Leadville of the discovery of an arrow head, made ot tempered copper, and of a number of human bones in the Rocky Point mines, near Gilman, Colo. The relics were dis closed 400 feet beneath the surface of the earth, Imbeded In a vein of silver bear ing ore. More than one hundred dollara worth of ore clung to the bones when they were removed from the mine. Statesman Baldwin of Randolph was busily engaged the other day In getting members of the Legislature to sign a paper that he didn't use “cuss” words, and that he did not run hia hands in his pockets “as If to draw a weapon.” He no doubt was feeling for hia handker chief to wipe away the tears of remorse he abed for putting his hands, not into his own pockets, hot |tbe pocket of the state of Georgia to the tone of $4, a clear lota to the state of $4.30 per day. Tiie Dtiusunf Mew York aro now getting ready to rout the Republicans In November and their, cry will he “Re member the World’s Fair," and It is pretty apt to have a very happy effect for the reason that it was due to the trickery of Boas Platt that New York was defeated in the contest with Chica go in regard to the (election of a site. Platt used his Influence with Republican congressmen to vote for Chicago claim ing that If Mew York got the fair Tam- Nigt control the machinery of tin such a way as to throw the stole ’the Democratic colama In 1882. HIGH TARIFF. Tiie report of tiie finance committee of the House placing the tax rate at $3.0$ per thousand marks the high water lino of taxation in Georgia, being the highest rate levied in tiie state Bince the war closed. While the pension appropriation to Confederate widows is to some extent responsible for this raise; it cannot be denied that there are other causes far less praiseworthy that aided to bring about this result. Conspicuous among these avoidable causes have been the two sessions of our biennial Legislature, which the Consti tution says shall meet once every two years. Thousands of dollars have been squan dered by this “Long Parliament" in these sessions, which should have been cut down to the forty-day session last year, provided by the Constitution. Every day spent in session since that time expired, and in foolish legislation, is downright robbery of tiie people, in which The Times-Recorder is glad to say our immediate representatives par ticipated under protest, urging a speedy adjournment many days ago. While the pension appropriation is right and just, and the appropriation for paying tiie state road lessees is proper, tiie taxpayers of Georgia must not forget tho foolish waste of time (which is money) by tills legislature.hy which the burden of taxation is increased in the midst of the hardest times and tho low est prices for cotton seen for many a day. The people should hear it in mind that this legislature is responsible for tho high tariff” they are now called on to pay. LET'S H I YE A SPEECH. It might be inferred that tho proverb, “A prophet is not without honor, save in hi»own country," was applicable to Judge Crisp in his relatiops with his home people, if tho fact that he has uot licen invited to speak here was to he 1 counted as significant. The truth Is, the J udgo has been doing missionary work In quarters where con verts to Democracy were needed, and his own people who were true and tried in the faith could afford to let him spend his time and energy whore it was more needed than at home. At an early date, however, the active campaign will have closed: and then the pcoplo of Sumter will expect their rep resentative to give them a blast of the bugle ot bis eloquence (so to speak) that has enthused the multitudes in so many other states this summer. Lot Judge Crisp get himself in shapo fur a speech; and lot our people preparo the time and the occasion to hear one from him; and then let's get together and have one ot those old-fashioned Democratic jubilees that will be a regu lar “send off” to Judge Crisp In his raco for the Speakership. Why can’t the Young Men's Domo oratio Club, in conjunction with their seniors, take up this question and ar range for the people to hear from Judge Crisp ? Tho people want to hoar him; let's give them the chance. Roswell P. Flower, the Democratic nominee for governor of New York, Is not only a wealthy man, but a g- nlal en tertainer, who spends hie money freely In order that bis friends may havo an enjoyable timo. He has a handsome residence In Washington and frequently glres big dinners during the session of Congress. It Is told that on one occasion he gave a dinner at which flno wine ot different kinds flowed copiously; and among his guests was Tom Ochiltree of Texas, who was one of tho last to leave the festive board. He was escorted to the front door by Mr. Flower, who said: “Now ho caieful Tom and take twelvo steps down, and you will reach the side walk. Then you will see two carriages; take tho tho first one, because tho other one is not there.” A Louisville (Ky.) dispatch says; “Mary Stuckenbcrg, wife of a laborer here, is believed to be what Is known to the Catholic church as a ‘stigmata.’ She has trances, during which appear upon her hands and feet and forehead marks like those where the Savior was pierced by nails and thorns at his cruci fixion. The wounds bleod slowly, and resemble similar marks upon others of whom record has been kept by Catholics, particularly those of Louise Mary La- teau. A careful examination of the case will be made by the priests.” Senator Peffer In a recent speech said: “If the Alliance should fail in everything else It proposes, but should succeed in breaking up the Solid South by absorbing a majority of the Demo cratic votes of that aection, It will de serve the lasting gratitude of the whole nation. It will have accomplished what the managers of the Republican party havo spent years of time and several millions of dollars in vain to do, and by so dotng demonstrate its greater potency as a political diplomat.” Si>kakixo of tho big failure of Deacon Whit* In New York, who tried to buy all the corn In Hie country on specula tion, the New Y’ork Herald well says: “Popularsympathy is not likely logo out to a man who has met fallnre in an attempt to corner a necessary of life. A veteran in the field of speculation like Mr. Whit* wtH not ask or hardly expect It. They that take up the sword shall perish by the sword.” A BRITISH SOLON. It may seem presumptuous for an American to differ with so eminent an authority in finance as Mr. Robert Gif- fen, head of the commercial department and comptroller of coin returns of the British board of trade, but Mr. Giffen's fulroinatlons appear quite ridiculous to some of us Americans, especially his statement that “the United States is overloaded with paper currency.” ne was asked what truth there was In the calculation that England and the conti nent would be forced to part with gold amounting to £30,000,000 to pay for tho Imports of American grain. Mr. Giffen ridiculed the estimate and said not bullion but securities and ex ports would go to America to pay for grain. Undoubtedly, there would bo a heavy drain of gold for several months to come, but payments for grain were not tiie solo cause of such a drain. An im portant factor in the financial situation was tho silver question. Stable Ameri can houses, ho declared, were making preparations to face a silver crisis, which is now inevitable, by making gold pur chases in Europe. When asked If such a crisis was inevitable, Mr. Giffen said: In my opinion it is impossible to avert It. The United States has become overloaded with paper currency. The issue of sliver certificates to the amount of £12,000,000 annually was a gross legis lative mistake and is hound to bring a crash speedily.” In response to an inquiry as to how soon the crash he predicted could be looked for, Mr. Giffen said: February will probably realizo the worst of the position. I do not see how tho grave trouble can he averted by remedial legislation. There is hardly timo to avert it,even if the two parties in congress could agree upon the means." VOTED DOWN. The fact that the Legislature voted 'down the “Ocala resolutions” by 81 to 03 should not be construed to mean that the Alliancemen of tlio house do not stand on tho Ocala platform; but rather that aB legislators they recognize the Impropriety, In their official capacity, of endorsing the platform of any political party. They aro legislating for the people of Georgia, not tho Alliance; and hence their personal political views were not properly the subject matter for a vote in that body. It is reported that an interesting ora torical duel is likoly to be fought In At lanta in the near future. It is to be between Congressman Livingston and Hoke Smith. Petitions asking the two gentlemen to enter a joint discussion are being prepared, and if they accept, a lively timo Is sure to result. Congress man Livingston and Mr. Smith are at daggers’ points, and If they meet on the platform it will be a regular fur-pulling match. A certain Dr. Keely (not motor Keely) has discovered that tho chloride of gold is an absolute cure for drunken- ness, and has made a number of suc cessful cures. Now the strange part of the whole business—and for which no explanation is ns yet. forthcoming—Is that Dr. Keely is being vigorously, op posed and denounced by some of the E rcachers and temperance people for la cure. Why Is this? APPLICATION FOR CHARTER. 8TATE OF GEORGIA—Sumteb County. To the Superior Court of said County: The pc It'ooofE.H. Fer^mon.J. J.CafTrey, both of l^uiMViiie.
