b Americus Recorder. W. L, OI.IU.1KK. Mltar. OBelal Ornn of Sumlcr County. Groan nr Wrbaler County. niDiT. MARCH 30. ’8ft. The contest for United States Senator in Arkansas, to succeed Senator Garland, bids tair to be a lively one. The Macon News has information that Wales Wynton, former Macon correspondent of the Atlanta Con stitution, is now connected with the Cincinnati Enquirer. The money editor of the New York Herald says the Southern tailmads arc getting the attention •f capitalists. They arc considered more promising than the roads that are fully developed. The fact that three members of the new Cabinet are nar-ed William has led a curious newspaper man to look i.p the Williams in all the Cahinets ever made in the nation Among his discoveries was that the Interior Department is the only one which has never been presided over by a William. The President has nominated Joseph S. Miller,ot West Virginia, as commissioner of internal reve ■lie. We are glad to see Phil. Thompson, of Kentucky, left out, as he is too closely connected with the whiskey ring. Mr. Cleveland is evidently determined upon huv fagaclean administration. An exchange calls attention to the fact that every bushel of corn • cotton farmer buys is loaded with a charge of from fifteen to t-venty- tve cents railroad lreigbt,and that it most be paid with cotton money, when the cotton was in most cases raised at a loss, and concludes that tbe advice of the press to “plant more corn’’ should be more gener ally followed. Capt. J. U. Rowell, a Republi can member of congress from Illi nois, in a newspaper interview •peaks highly of President Cleve land, although not favorably im pressed with the members of tbe ■abinet. He 'Irinka our old friend and former Democratic congress man, Hon. A. E. Stevenson, stands • fsir chance lor the position of second assistant postmaster gen eral. The Clinton (111.) Public, a strong Republican paper, edited by a postmaster, says: “President Cleveland started out right in mak ing appointments when be called Gen. John C. Black, of Danville, to the management of the pension office. General Black is one of the purest and ablest Democrats in Illinois, and as ho was a gallant soldier during the war the old sol diera feel that in him they have a friend to pass upon the meritB of their claims in tbe pension depart ment.” U0NURE8S10N AL EXTRAVAGANCE. One of tbe periodical diversions of tbe two bouses of Congress Is to denounce alleged extravagance in the different executive depart ments of the Government, and tbe various bureaus in these depart ments are explored by Senators and Representatives in search of material of which to make speeches in favor of economy in the admin istration of the Government. Some of the department officers think Congress might find opportunitier for retrenchment in the use ot public money nearer home. They assert that the number of clerks and employes of the two bouses is much larger than necessary, while their salaries are greater than those ot officers who do similar work in the departments. Clerks employed by the Senate and House receive from $2,000 to $3,000 a year; messengers from $1,440 to $1,800; laborers from $720 to $1,000 and pages $2 50 per day. As the long session of Con gress rarely lasts more than seven months and the short session is limited to three months, most of the employes arc required to work only ten months in two years. Yet in addition to their regular salaries the employes receive each year, by vote of Congress, one month’s extra pay. The capilol policemen, who receive $1,100 a year, arc in eluded in this generous provision for extra pay, as arc all the officers of the two houses, from the $0,100 Secretary of the Sen ate an<l the $3,100 Clerk of the House down to the pages. The item for extra month's pay last year amounted to $74,527 Of this amount the Senate beneficia ries received $25,919 and $38,608 went to tbe House employes. As the number of employes was in creased at tbe last session and saia rics raised in several instances tbe extra pay this year will be nearly $100,000. LULU HURST’S MAGNETISM. Tbe Macon Telegraph and Mes senger gets off tbe following good one on Lulu Hurst’s magnetism: Tbe other day Miss Lulu Hurst was on Conductor Allie Shellman's train and on the train was a roan who had attended Mias Lulu’s per formaDce in Eufaula the night be fore, and wbo was exceedingly skeptical. He said be was satisfied that the secret of her performances was simply muscular power and that she was fortunate enough to possess just a little more muscular strength than an ordinary man. As none of his fellow passengers were able to give anv lucid explanation of the wonderful Georgia girl's powers, the Eulnula man had the best of tlie aigunv nt unl.l Couduc tor Shellman came along. The subject was again brought up, and the clever prince of the bell line said : “1 can proveto you beyond all question that it is not muscular dower, but personal magnetism.’’ Personal magnetism lie Mow ed,” remarked the Eufaula man "Well,” continued the conduc tor, “we are now climbing the hill at Hatcher’s Station, the steepest grade on the road. Just before wc readied the hill 1 told the engineer to shut oil a 1 1 steam and reverse Ills engine. 1 then requested Miss Lulu to place her hands or. the seat in front of her. She did sn and she is carrying us up the hill as well ns ike engine could. Come hack and see for yourself.” The Eufaula man never doubted what tlie conductor said, hut it was a long time before he could make out wlmt personal magnet ism really meant. He W‘>s silent all tlie way to Macon, and wore, the air of a man who had got thu worst of un argument and was convinced against his will. Mrs. J. Lucas, of Philadelphia, bos been appointed by Commission er Loring superintendent of tbe •ilk experimenting station, at a •alary of $100 per month. She Is ■Iso authorized to expend $2,500 upon vouchers certified by herself. Mrs. Lucas, at a meeting of the as sociation in Philadelphia,Thursday added her salary to tbe government donation, thus making tbe amount $3,700. The association baa 4,000 pounds of silk on band, and will have it prepared for market at once. The association has 20,006 corres pondents. Tbe people of the South aro more directly interested in the postofficc and internal revenue departments of the government than anything else. In tbe former they simply ask that goad, efficient men be ap pointed to office wbo will see tb&t the mails are handled correctly and expeditiously, insteau of being made a matter of convenience. In tbe tatter they want men who will fiuthftilly execute tbe law, bring tbe guilty to punishment, but not use their office for tne purpose ot pe cuniary gain and political persecu tion, by arresting innocent men npon trumped up charges. In other words, the people of the South are more interested in har ing good government than that professional politicians should be rewarded with 1st salaried offices. As to official changes in Wash ington a correspondent of tbe New Orleans Picayune says: “A few nominations may be sent in during tbe present week, but there will be little or nothing done in tbe way of making changes until the Senate shall have closed Us sessions. At that time the policy of the Presi dent will be developed. There is giound for the belief that the Presi dent wilt take the view that it is necessary in order to carry oul the policy of the reform and purifica tion of tbe public service to make a number of changes in tne impor tant offices. The State of Virginia will be among the first to be con sidered. The question uf confirm ation of these appointments in tbe places of parties to bo removed is an important one. Judge Sency,a Congressman of Ohio, In an inter view just made public,expresses its opinion that tho Prcsidcn* has the power ot removal any lime under the law. He assumes tbe case where the President removes a Republican postmaster and ap points Mr. Brown, a Democrat,and tue Senate refuses to confiim Brown. In this case he holds that the original incumbent is not re stored, and that Brown remains until the Senate confirms a succes- ccssor. The construction of the law upon this subject is one of the greatest importance; upon it the whole vigor ana efficiency of the executive power depends.” One of the most interesting ex hibits at the New Orleans Exposi tion. is a model ol tho Eads Ship Railway, proposed to he built over the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to connect the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The model is said to have cost $10,000, and to be a beautiful piece of workmanship. It is, on a email scale, a perfect representa tion of the ship railway, und every feature of that enterprise will be so clearly shown that its operations can be easily understood. This mainiature railway will be shown at th« Mexican exhibit. Torr Joo kSk tys, *3* o,, 'CUs GA. <fO sboesso® 5 j_F OB- ftals, Jjtc- ga- WtLeatley^s Corner The monometalists are very fond of calling the standard silver dol lar “a fraudulent coin,” when in taet, if there is any fraud, it at taches to the gold dollar, as is ovinced by tbe following statement of facts made by the Columbus Times: “From 1760 to 1873 tbe silver in a silver dollar was worth more, as a marketable value, tbau tbe gold in a gold dollar. In 1793 upon tbe passage of the original coinage act, the “Spanish milled dollar,” 412| grains of lino silver, was made tne unit of yaiue in our money. Every bond or other promise to pay issued by the gov ernment up to 1873, was based on and guaged by that measure. How, then, can it be in the nature of fraud to insist that tbe unit be re tained until all debts it measures are paid? There was no growl that the gold dollar was “a fraud,” though its market value never equalled that of the silver dollar, for more than one hundred ycais. the two circulating together in every coinsgc’of civilized men.” Ho! every one in need of Clothing, “COME AGAIN” to Wheatley’s Comer and buy l.’e splendid ftucctM which atlcnacd’our'offorts.ln introducing the sale of FTJXHJ CLOTHING in our c , hmi lnduceu^us ta bring out for the Spring trade the largest, handsomest and* most complete line of Perfect Fitting Clothing EVER SHOWN IN AMERICUS I Them p»<l» have been Mleetcd with (Treat car. and |X>«»e,« an elegance of deign, beauty of flnla and durability of texture, that few indeed can equal, und none aurpais, In every Instance wo POWDER Absolutely Pure.
