Toe latest new* from Chill Indicates
that the warlike people in that country
are not quite so bitter in their talk about
the United States as they were a few
weeks ngo.
Ex-President Hayes, who lately vis
ited Atlanta, says it is all a fake about
his raising chickens, and that ho never
raised a chicken in Ilia life. Was Sir.
Hayes never a college boy?
Superintendent J. L. McCollum of tho
Western and Atlantic has sent out circu
lars offering (1,000 reward for the arrest
and proof that will convict the person
sons who removed the rail which caused
Sunday night's accident near Bolton,
Upon the anniversary of the Prince of
Wales' fiftieth birthday, the sycophantio
editors are damning him with the faint
praise that his record is no worse than
those of his illustrious predecessors,
William and tire Georges.
N bw England and New York show an
average of (1163 per capita of currency,
and the South only (10. This is easily
explained by the large individual for-
tunes of tho men of the East. Jay
Gould is worth as much as the whole
State of Georgia.
THE NEGRO IN 11IE NORTH.
The Philadelphia Times in speaking
of the fact that the ntgrocs hold the
balance of power in Pennsylvania and
have generally voted the Republican
ticket blindly, says:
“There is not a Republican district in
Pennsylvania where a colored man could
be elected to the Senate, to the Assem
bly or to Congress. Indeed, so well is
this fact understood, that we do not re
call a single instance of a colored man
seeking a nomination for any of the re
sponsible representative offices in the
State, nor has one ever thought of being
a candidate for any one of the many lu
crative offices in the various counties.
We have seen more colored men sitting
in a single Legislature in Soutli Caro,
lina, elected on Democratic tickets by
Democratic votes, than have been elect
ed to the Legislature of all the Northern
States since the enfranchisement of the
black man. In only a single instance
has a colored man been nominated for a
State office, and that was for Auditor
General in Kansas. He was elected, but
was saved only by the extraordinary
party majority, as he fell over 20,000 be
hind his party in the State. In this
State no colored man was ever appointed
to the police force until Mayor King set
the example to tho Republicans, and
there are more colored school teachers
employed in any one of the Southern
States, and paid out of the State treas
ury, than are employed in all of tho
Northern States from Maine to Califor
nia. It is very evident that the negro is
not wanted in the North except on elec
tion day.”
A hill has been tiled in tho circuit
court of the United States, asking that a
receiver be appointed for the Athens
Electrict Street Railway Company, and
claiming its insolvency. Tho amount
claimed as due for material and con
struction is (16,000.
It Is now reported that the Rev. de
mand K. Nelson of South Bethl. liom, I’a.,
a native of Virginia, will be mado bishop
of Georgia by the Episcopal convention
that meets in Macon to-morrow. It isn't
so much who Is elected bishop of Geor
gia as who will accept after elected.
The President is slow in appointing
Thanksgiving Day. Possibly he Is wait
ing until his days of mourning over the
New York election have passed before
he turns to Thanksgiving. Or he may
concludo to omit it altogether and let
the administration's official action on
this question be delegated to Governor
McKinley of Ohio next year.
Bkv. W. W. Wadsworth of Augusta,
having denounced “King Solomon,” and
the “Kirmesa,’’ And the Episcopalians
and the Augusta exposition, now turns
his guns on Dr. Lansing Burroughs, the
Baptist pastor of that city. The next
Georgia .Methodist conference might
muxzle this weak Imitator of Sam Jones
without serious injury to the church.
Accoimmko to the report of the re
eelver of the Mavorick National Bank of
Boston, there was nothing irregular
about the business of that concern ex
cept the insufficiency of the security
upon the two million dollars loaned by
the offieer* of the bank to themselves.
All its other business was properly man
aged and in good shape. Rotter, at the
core.
Judoe Miller is after the Macon
gamblers. He says in his charge to the
grand jury this term: “Now I am deter
mined to do all in my power to break up
this professional gambling. Heretofore
the pockets only of the lawbreakers
have suffered, but behind the matter of
a fine lies the county jail and the chain
gang. If those people will go on consid
ering their fines a* merely an additional
tax on their business, and atilt continue
to violate the law, this court will nse all
the powers given it to prevent them from
eo doing.”
Tbouou the Democratic nominating
convention is six months off, the guber
natorial eanvass in Alabama is already
on in earnest. The candidates are the
Incumbent, Gov. Jones, and Hon. Reu
ben L. Kolb. The latter came very near
winning the nomination at the last con
vention, and his friends say that he is
determined to come ant victorious next
spring. He is now busy visiting all the
(airs and expositions in the state, and
has inaugurated a hand-shaking cam
paign that will cause bis opponent to
hustle. Some of the Alabama papers
deprecate the early precipitation of the
contest.
Congressman W. C. Oates, of Ala
bama, addressed a large crowd at the
Atlanta Piedmont Exposition, and the
report of his speech shows that he still
takes great pleasure in sooring the Al
liance and sub-treasury. One portion of
his remarks referred to Editor C. W.
Kacutie, of the National Alliance organ,
and created a sensation. He sffd If the
Almighty had ever stamped viUlaay and
treachery on the face of a man to warn
people against him, - tbat man waa Ma-
cune. “For,” said the Colonel, “he baa
the conning of a fox, the boldness of a
lion and the honesty of a penitentiary
convict.”
the nk«v congress.
Congress will convene four weeks
hence. A few changes In the personnel
of that body are interesting.
Mr. Edmonds, wlio was in the Senate
twenty-five years has voluntarily re
tired, and Mr. Ingalls, who served
eighteen years with signal brilliancy,
will bo succeeded by Peffer, a man of
mediocre ability who will have little in-
tlueuce in that august body.
Geueral Wade Hampton’s presence
will also be missed. He will be suc
ceeded by a new and untried man from
South Carolina, Irby who his most san
guine friends say will never startle the
world with bis conspicuous ability.
The House loses McKinley, Butter-
worth and Cannon, causing a considera
ble void on the Republican side There
will be a tinkering with tbe tariff and
with silver, as well as an investigation of
the pension bureau; while tbe enorglcs
of tlie new Speaker, Crisp, and the Com
mittee on Appropriations will be chiefly
devoted to keeping the expenditures
under the billion mark.
Altogether it will be quite an interest
ing session of Congress, and will be
watched with Interest—not so much for
what It may do, as for wbat It will un
dertake to do.
With a Republican President and a
Republican Senate, it can hardly accom
plish any of the leading reforms so earn
estly demanded by tho peoplo.
Tlie Democracy of 1(6:1 will see to
these
Tiik Topeka Kansas Advocate a woek
before tbe Ohtoeleotion predicted Camp
bell’s defeat, and gives os a reason that
on September 15, 1861, a certain gontle-
man called on J. G. Prather, n member
of tlie National Democratic Committee,
and requested Mr, Prather to furnish
transportation, etc., for him to go to
Ohio and take the stump for Campbell.
Thereupon Mr. J, G. Prather said: “We
do not desire Mr. Campbell’s eleetlon,
nor will we do anything to assist him,
os it would mean tho triumph of the
free silver idea.” The applioant had
spoken for Democracy in every cam
paign for the past twelve years, and
spoke jointly with Hendricks all over In
diana, also with Thurman in Ohio In
1888, and is a brilliant and able speaker.
So It cannot be said the gontleman is not
a representative man. But tho tact is
that Mr. Prather simply told the truth.
They want Campbell defeated. Now
compare this with the fact that tbe Dem
ocratic papers of New York City, Mem
phis, Charleston and New Orleans are
supporting John Sherman for tho United
States Senate.
The famous Howard-Biokerstaff mur
der case came up in Muscogee superior
court before Judge Gamble on Mon
day morning. It is thought that
several days will be consumed in secur
ing a jury. It will be remembered that
on tbe 25th day of November, 1800, Mr.
T. C. Dawson, a prominent cltlxen of
Russell County, Alabama, was killed by
defendants, Richard Howard, Robert
Howard and James Blckerstaff, The
killing was directly in front of the grand
stand at tbe exposition grounds in
Columbus, and witnessed by at least 20,-
000 people. One phase of this case was
brought before Judge Fort last Decem
ber in AmerUus, that of bail for the.
prisoners, and many people here are
familiar with the facts and tbe parties
to the trial.
Don Dickinson, Cleveland's ex-Post*
master-General, Is quoted in a Washing
ton dispatch as saying: “Mr. Cleveland
will be nominated for President next
year with a solid and harmonious dele
gation from New York behind him.”
Mr. Dickinson says further: "Last
Tuesday's eleetlon has deafly deter
mined that Mr. Cleveland must bn the
nominee next year, and | the Republicans
haven't one chance idVdozen of defeat
ing him.” Is Don figuring for s piaoe
iu the new Democratic cabinet In 18037
a comparison.
Under the heading of “A Gentleman
and a Blackguard,” Editor Henry Wat-
teraoa institutes a comparison between
Governor Campbell and Haha, the chair
man of tbe Republican campaign com
mittee. He says:
When Gov. Campbell was sure of his
defeat he seat to Mr. McKinley the fol
lowing dispatch:
"William J. McKinley, Jr.: I hereby con
gratulKte you epon your election. I have no
doubt that you will serve i be people or Ohio
with fldellty and honesty.
"JAMES E CAMPBELL."
This goes to show that a man may dis
tinguish himself in politics without sac
rificing the instincts of a gentleman.
As soon as the returns were in, tbe
blackguard, who was chairman of tbe
Republican committee in Ohio, sent the
following dispatch to Mr. Mills and Mr.
Crisp:
" Allow me to congratulate you on the able
assistance you rendered us In the Ohio cam
paign McKinley's p urallty Is from 19,000 to
21,00c. Both b anche.or the general assem
bly are Republican by trom 35 to 37 on Joint
ballot, (.'an you be with us next year?"
It is scarcely creditable that any man
occupying such a position, even among
Ohio Republicans, could send a dispatch
as foolish and at tlie same time so splen
etic and vulgar.
Does Editor Wattcrson expect a man
wbose name is Hahn (rooster) not to
crow when he overcomes his opponent?
That sort of a Ibped must crow or ex
plode.
SOME PROPHECIES.
The polititical prophet of the Atlanta
Constitution prognosticates as follows:
Mr. Blaine’s health is all right now
and he will not resign from the cabinet
but will remain just where be is, push
ing his plans of reciprocal trade between
tbe United States and other countries,
Mr. Harrison is defeated and re-
tiytos to private life.
Tbe man from Maine lias long ago
given up all idea uf ever being president.
Instead Ms idea now is to make a great
name for himself in bis declining days
by extending tbe trade of the United
States over all tbe civilized world.
Perhaps, the only candidate in the lie-
publican convention against Harrison
will bo liusscll A. Alger of Michigan,
who will again have Ills barrel on tip,
and who will find himself just as far
from being president when the conven
tion adjourns as now, though ho will bo
poorer by a few tbousaud.
Tbe next contest fur tlie presidency
will be between Ifarrison and tbe man
New York agrees upon us the best for
tlie Democratic nominee.
Tbe Democrats candidate will lie one
of throo men—Cleveland, Hill or Gor
man. The man of these three that all
the factions of New York combine up-
od will be the nominee. With the Dem
ocracy combined upon any one of the
three there will be no difficulty in the
Democrats winning the next presidency.
Receiver XV. B. Sparks has made a re
port of the affairs of the Georgia South
ern road, in which the gross earnings' for
tbo quarter ending September 30, are
shown to be (102,313.17, with operating
expenses at (118,013.28, making the total
net earnings for the quarter (73,(100.40
This Is a | remarkably line show
ing tor the road, and with another year
of such work, Its condition will be moBt
favorable. Tbe Macon and Birmingham
still continues to be a mill stone around
the latter, it appears, and hero the ex
penses havo been greater than the in
come. Tho resources of the Macon and
Birmingham are given at (7,270.42, with
liabilities at (10,050.50, showing a differ
ence of (12,073 17.
