will be defeated in the Senate.
The St. Louis Republican says'the
Southern States will not engage in
any such hysterical nonsense as the
boycott.
President Palmer, of the World's
Fair, is in Washington on business
connected with the great show, and
is hopeful of the outlook.
Governor Ross, of Texas, ex
presses his opposition to the pro-
I posed boycott in strong terms. It
is also opposed by Mr. Mills.
Committee work is said to be
clogged in the Senate by lazy Sena
tors. Since the warm weather set
in it is difficult to secure quorums.
DESPERATE MEN.
The leaders of the Republican
party are become desperate in their
endeavors to perpetuate themselves
in power. They have no hope of
carrying enough congressional dis
tricts in the Northern States to se
cure contrel of the next House of
Representatives, and for that rea
son they are turning their attention
to the Southern States. They have
determined to concentrate their
forces upon three States, North
Carolina, Louisiana and Mississip
pi, as those States have the largest
colored nopulatlan, and with the
aid of the force bill they hope to
control enough districts to give
them the desired majority.
These men care nothing for the
rights of the people, but look only
to a perpetuation of their own po
litical power and opportunity for
(lower, and they are prepared to go
to any length to secure it.
According to the calculation of
the civil service commissioner,
Georgia has received 25 appoint
ments under the civil service law,
when it might have had 17; North
Carolina 25, when it might have
had 12: Alabama 20, when it might
have had 00, and South Carolina
only 17, when it might have had 5.0.
Referring to this statement, the
Charleston News and Courier says:
This is an excellent showing for
the States named, since it proves
that their young men find better
ways of employing their energies
than in seeking soft places in gov
ernment offices.”
The outlook is that the tariff will
contiuuo to occupy tiie time rf the
Senate this week, and but very lit
tle other business can probably be
transacted.
A special from Oklahoma says
the negroes there are dissatisfied
and kicking, and there is n strong
probability that they will vote the
Democratic ticket solid,
The sober second thought of the
Southern people is against the
movement to boycott the North as
a measure of retaliation for the
passage of the force bill.
The Florida pineapple growers
netted from $0.00 to $0.50 per acre
on their crops this season, and a

changes strikes out the provision
for the appearance of troops at tho
liolls.
The drafts for pensions bo far this

An evening paper of Chicago says
a young electrician of that city is
quietly working out an idea of his
own for the perfection of an electric
steamboat propeller. He proposes
to drive a boat of any size nrid
make by a storage battery of
his own design, to be charged liy
a battery also invented by him,
with a special object in view of its
economy in the matter of fuel
His design is all but accomplished,
and electricians who have seen the
working model say that the boy has
his fortune and fame in that little
ship.
It looks as though Schley county
would have a pretty warm time for
the next week. There arc two
tickets in the field for senator and
representative. The Alliance can
didate for Representative is not a
member of the Alliance 'and his
opponent is. The two candidates
for Senator are two of the best men
of the county, with strong personal
following. But they are all good
Democrats, and when the little
family quarrel Is over all will he
harmonized.
THE FORCE BILL.
The Recorder several weeks ago
declared its belief that the South
would be saved from the force bill
by a pressure of the business sent),
ment of the North against it, and it
is confirmed in the belief by recent
reports.
The business men of the North
have too great interests at stake in
the South to stand silently by and
see those interests injured by radi
cal legislation. They have invested
millions of dollars in mining and
manufacturing enterprises, and
large amounts have been loaned on
lands. If the force bill is passed it
must depreciate the property in
which tills money has been invest
ed, and the investors must sustain
the loss. No one understands this
better tnau those Northern invest
ors, and we believe that they need
no threat of boycotts to move them
to enter earnest and effective pro-
ests against the passage of the bill.
POLITICAL POINTS.
Leading Republicans, at a meet
ing in Birmingham Wednesday,
drew up and sigued a long memo
rial to Congress, protesting against
the passage of the force bill. The
leading points in the bill are that it
is unconstitutional; it will hurt the
South, causing all the best element
to leave it; win injure commerce
greatly; will disturb society, etc.
Itjs said that Col. Jack Brown
will be the Republican candidate
for Congress from this district, and
that he will place himself squarely
on the Alliance platform, with the
hope of dividing the white vote.
Ho ought to understand that the
Alllancemeu of the third district
and cannot be fooled by any such
chaff.
A Washington correspondent says
it is not only iu Georgia that the
Alliance is playing havoc with the
present membeis in Cougress.
They aro being turned down right
and left in alt the Southern States.
Rowland, Skinner and McCIammy
have already been made to walk the
plank in North Carolina. The lat
ter was an Alliance man and farmer,
but lias been associating with the
subtreasury opponents iu Washing
ton, and was thrown overboard.
During the last Presidential cam
paign tho Republican orators de
clared that a surplus was lunch
easier to take care of than a dificit.
Their party came into power anil
proceeded to make way with tiro
surplus which President Cleveland
had left. Now it lias a deficit to
face and the country will not fail
to observe how it meets the emer
gency. •
When tiie news of Buchanan's
nomination for Governor of Ten
nessee wns received in south Caro
lina, the Tilimanites raised a yell
and were joyful over the success of
the Alliance. It gave Tillman new
hope, ami lie is said to have renew
ed his fight with more vigor, if pos
sible, than ever.
The passage of the silver bill by
our congress lins raised the price of
agricultural products in Great
Britain, and the close connection of
too whole commercial world Is
again Illustrated.
A correspondent says the cause of
the present peculiar state of politics
in South Carolina arises from a
deep-seated difference between tiie
up and low country, which opened
up the way for the sudden rise of
Tillman.
“Sfivlngatou is tho most talked
about man in Georgia, since the
sensational report has gotten out
that he would make the race for
the Senate. The State papers are
full of gossip, but nothing definite
can be learned.
After adoption of committee
amendments, the bankruptcy bill
passed the House Wednesday.
One of the Important amendments
adopted was enforcement of the
laws giving wages for* labor the
preference.
Wyoming demonstrated her hap
piness over admission into the sis
terhood of States by a big celebra
tion. An immense parade, several
miles long, consisting of State
militia, civic societies, trade dis
plays and a garrison of U. 8.
troops marched through the princi
pal streets of Cheyenne to tho new
cnpitol building.
Houston county has three papers,
but neither of them suit the Alli
ance, and it is said that they con
template starting one which will
advocate their views. If there is
anything that will demonstrate the
financial ability of the Alliance, it
will be the successful administra
tion of a newspaper.
Dudley, the great manipulator of
blocks of five, is of the opiuion time
“there is not salt enough in the sea
to make Indiana Republican this
year.” If he had said that there
was not enough surplus in the
treasury to buy votes, he would
have expressed it more clearly.
The indications are that the
growing corn crop in Kausas has
been irreparably damaged, and,
oven with favorable weather for the
remainder of the season, the yield
must be considerably less than last
year. The unfavorable weather
lias extended to various States.
It is stated that New York cotton
operators have undertaken to run a
corner iu Liverpool for fall deliv
eries. t hey have set locel houses
to buying all the spot cotton at the
present basis as well as for future
delivery. They will attempt to run
the corner in New York nlso.
Not only tho New Jersey peaeh
crop, but the grape crop of tlint
State also is a dead failure. These
twocrops combined brought mil
lions of dollars into the State last
year, and this year they will con
tribute hardly anything to tiie
wealtli of its citizens.
Senator Gorman has given out
that lie will vigorously fight tho
McKinley bill. He is a strong leader
and an earnest statesman, but it is
feared the tariff reform clement of
his party in Maryland will put in
some strong work against him. •
Advice to Mother*,
Mrs. Winslow’s Soothing Syr
up should always be used for eliil-
dien teething. It soothes tho child,
softens tiie gums, allays all pain,
cures wind colic, and is the best
remedy for diarrhoea. Twenty-five
cents per bottle.
Decided opposition in the House
Wednesday was shown to the Sen
ate amendment relating to an Irri
gation survey, and the probabili
ties are that unless the Senate re
cedes anil agrees to modify its
action, a determined and prolonged
struggle between the two branches
of Congress will result over tills
amendment.
The chairman and several mem
bers of the Republican census com
mittee say they do not think there
will be any reapportlonment this
session, but they do not know what
Speaker Reed may determine upon.
Verily, our great government has
come to be a Reed machine, wholely
and without reserve.
A mixture of turpentine, camphor
and lard is reccomended to keep off

It Seems Strange.
It seems strange that anyone will
.make a use of quinine anil take
their chances of sufferinglrom such
distress as fullness of the bond,
headache, dizzy sensations, intesti
nal irritation, nausea, paralysis,
etc., when nil the good efiects of
quinine are secured by a use of that
harmless discovery of Dr. John Bull,
of Louisville, Ky., known as
Smith’s Tonic Syrup. No harmful
effect) ever follows the use of this
syrup, and it tastes so good that
children will ask for it. It lias
never yet failed to cure a case of
chills and fever, even when quinine
and other preparations did no good.
It is well also to take a dose after
any severe exposure, as it will keep
off as well as cure n cold.

There is said to be some gossip iu

Alliance members of both parties
will combine to elect an Alliance
Speaker, but Democrats take no

or some other Democratic candi
date for Speaker. it is said to be
almost certain that Crisp will be
the man in the eyent tiie Democrats

It is with tliogrentcst confidence
