The Columbus hedger of Sunday came
out In a trade issue ot twenty pages
handsomely illustrated, showing up the
leading industries, business houses and
most progressive citizens of that sub
stantial city.
The Times-Itecohi)hr lias plenty of
company in its approval of the govern
or's use of the veto. The Dawson Jour
nal says: "Governor Xorthcu does not
seem afraid to use the veto power. He
has already applied it to several unwise
and unconstitutional measures ”
lx is said that Itoswcll P. Flower many
years ago asked his brother In-law, Mr.
Keep, what sort of a man was Daniel
Drew. "Is he lionost ?" inquired Mr
Flower. Mr. Keep closed his oyes and
his Ups for ten minutes. Finally he
opened Ids eyes, and, looking at Flower,
said: "He is ns honest a man as there
is In the state of Xew York, but for fear
somebody else will cheat him be always
begins first.’'
Some years ago it was reported that
"Old Grimes" was doad; but the an
nouncement seems to have been prema
ture. At least, the Savannah News now
states It as a fact of very recent occur
rence. Itsays: "John Grimes died at
his home In Bulloch county yesterday
at the advanced ngo of 01 years. The
deceased was well and favorably known
in tide section, and at the timo of Ids
death was the oldost citizen of Bulloch
county.”

Therefore it is pertinent to inquire what

Senator Calvin S. Brice has just re
turned from a trip through Ohio where
he has boon studying the political situa
tion. The first thing be did on his re
turn was to bold a long conference with
John K. McLean, editor of the Cincin

Avenue hotel. Alter this conference
Mr. Brice talked freely of tbs situation
In Ohio and was enthusiastic over the

OI KSTIONS FOR Mil. ClttSI*.
Undertlie above beading, the Dawson
Journal calls for Judge Crisp's views on
two banking matters, wbicli Is repro
duced below, together with the Jour
nal's comments on the hearing of these
issues. Every thing that Judge Crisp
may have to say on any subject, polit
ical, economic or financial, will com
maud tliu close attention of the people
of Georgia; and 'The Tuikk-Kkioiidkii
would be glad to p,resent bis views on
this subject:
The Journal is in favor of Mr. Crisp
fur speaker of the ncx*|houte of congress.
It is not only state pride but h personal
pleasure for us to support him. How
ever, there are two questions which* we
would like to bear Mr. Crisp answer:
First, we would like to know if lie is
in favor of the repeal of tho ten per
cent tax on tbo issue of statu banks?
And, second,is lie in favor of state banks
being allowed to Issue bills?
These are Important questions and the
matter of a larger volume of currency to
do the business of the country is at
tracting more attention than the tarlfl
issue. What tho people are demanding
and are going to have is more money,
They are getting tired of Wall street
controlling tbo finances of the entire
country. There must be a change in
the ordtr of things, and if our national
legislators will not read the handwriting
on the wall, they will be wiped from the
face of the political world. If Mr. Crisp
Is not In sympathy with the people upon
these issues lie might and would be able
as speaker of the House largely to Influ
ence legislation in an uudcsirablu direc
tion. Wc are inclined to think that he
will servo the best interests of his con
stituents, but wc would like to heat
from him upon the above questions.
Wc do not regard a modlllcailun of the
McKinley bill as a panacea for all the
ills from which the people arc sulTerlng,
and Mr. C'lisp might spare a* little time
in his public speeches to give bis views
upon tho questions of a fuller nnd more
tangible circulating medium, one that
will not be entirely under tbo manlpu
lalion of Wall street, as It is at present.
Juikie Gl’SHRT says It Is must too
soon to discuss the next congressional
campaign, but It is generally understood
that .he if a candidate. Judge C. B.
Wooten, of Leary, was hero last .Satur
day and be talked vory much like lie
would be In the race. Tom McIntyre,
of Tbomaavllle, also haa aspirations, and
it Is said that Dr. nand, of Baker, will
try to enter with tbo Alllanco support.
The present indications are that we will
have a lively campaign in this district.—
Dawson Journal.
Yesterday’s Constitution baa the
following in relation to Harry Brown
and bis new Alliance paper: ‘The an
nounceraent made in yesterday's Consti
tution to the effect that a new Alliance
paper, to be called The Lecturer, would
be started in this city at an early date,
created a good deal of talk. Much spec
ulation was Indulged in os to who would
bo tbe editor of the new publication,
The editor will, it Is rumored, be Capt.
Harry C. Brown, late of tho Southern
Alllanco Farmer. Tbo fact of Captain
Brown's connection with it will Insure a
large patronage among Alllanccmen.
His well known ability as a writer and
his devotion to the Alllsnco principles
mark him as a man well equipped for
the place. The company will, so it Is
understood, be a strong one and will be
supplied with ample capital to make the
pa|ier a success. W. S. Copeland, the
state lecturer of the Alliance, will be
president cf the company."

SUNDAY AT TOE WORLD’S FAIR.
There is just now a great stir in re
ligious circles about keeping the World’s
Fair open on Sunday.
Southern people generally, and some
few people elsewhere in the country are
strict constructionists on the Sabbath
question and are protesting strorgly
against Sunday exhibition: but the sen
timent of the northwest, and of Chicago
in particular, is widely different from
that prevalent in the south, and it is
safe to predict that the fair w ill boom
on .Sunday in spite of church opposition
Tbe sacreduess of the Sabbath is a
thing of the past in the west, if it ever
was known there at all, and being re
garded purely as a day of recreation and
rest from work, there is a strong senti-
inept there for Sunday opening.
Tiik editors are after the legislators
It is understood that the Alliance folks
promised short sessions of the legisla
ture and an economical expenditure of
public money. The first pledge has
been forfeited, and likewise the second.
Tie expenses of government have been
greatly Increased, until in order to raise
the revenues necessary to meet these ox
penses the tax levy is made higher than
ft has been for years. Resides these dis
appointments of promises, the legisla
tion proposed in maLy cases lias been
radical, disturbing tbe state, disquieting
confidence and making uncertain and
hesitating great investments of capital.
Some legislation has done positive and
great damage, causing a withdrawal of
capital from loau and other investments
in tlie state. Of course some good meas
ures have been adopted by the legisla
ture, but perhaps no legislature lias ever
n'scmbled in Oeorgia causing more ap
prehension and auxiety to conservative
people. It can not be mentioned as a
body whose collective wisdom and pru
dence are commensurate with tlie
needs of the state and tho exigencies of
the times. The legislators are them
selves good men, but they are men un
der the iullueuce of unsound political
theories and immature political ideas.—

And Grand Display of
The most unseemly thing recently
given publicity is the ventilation of
Doctor Tupper’s domestic infelicity by
the Atlanta papeis. There seems to
have been really nothing in it except a
little family spat; and out of this has
been manufactured columns of sensa
tion, that has without doubt destroyed
Dr. Tupper’s usefulness as a pastor in
that city. Let tlie Atlanta papers give
Dr. Tupper a rest; likewise everybody
else similarly unfortunate..
