Tho time lias come in tho history of Americus when site must prepare’ to take another great step forward, and to lit her for her higher piano of achieve* ment; olio must have a newspaper such as can result only from the consolidation of tho Times and tho Recorder. Americus is not yet large enough to support two papers in such manner as to give them a proper field for useful ness to the public and profit to the own ers, and the experiment of a year ago has resulted in tho conclusion now so happily reached—that of the union of the two forces which, heretofore worked done in transferring, combining and eli minating business in two establishments wjiile current work goes on. The Times- Recorder is arranging for a full tele graphic service from tho loading cities, anti is gathering correspondents in the neighboring towns.

THE TI.MES-KKCOKDKU. The Times Recorder, the new paper of Americus, made its appearance last Sunday and is quite a creditable sheet. We wish the enterprise success.—G'or- delean. Major Glrssner, who for nine years, as editor of the Americus Recorder worked so faithfully for At.iericus and Georgia, has retired from journalistic life, though he will continue speaking good for the Empire State.—Brunswick Times. The retirement of Editor Glessner from active journalism will he generally regretted. But he has proved his use fulness in a thousand different ways, anil his good work for the state will still give tho editors themes that will brighten their columns.—Constitution. “United we stand” is the motto of the Americus papers. The Recorder and Times have consolidated, and will be under tho management of Capt. Myrick and Maj. Glessner. This is a strong combination and will give Americus such a brilliant sheet that all the water in the town cannot extinguish it.— Schley County News. Americus is to be congratulated on the consolidation of the Times and the Recorder. It is now complete and the paper will appear as “Tiik Times Rk- <’order.” Mr. Bascotn Myrick will have editorial charge, and we predict in advance that lie will make for Americus a paper that would reflect credit on any city in the state.—Atlanta Constitution. The Amkkkts Timks-Recmhider made its first appearance Sunday morning last, the two papers having been consol idated on Saturday. Editor Myrick is at the helm, and Americus is to be con gratulated that one paper now strug gles earnestly for the upbuilding of the city instead of two lighting each other. —Albany News and Advertiser. After a suspension of several weeks the Americus papers come to us in a consolidated form. The first issue of Tiik Timks-Rkcordkr was published yesterday. Mr. Bascotn Myrick is at the editorial helm, and with a corps of able assistants will give tho reading public a sprightly and enterprising journal. The interests of Americus and the general welfare of the state will be protected, advanced and preserved by The Timks-Rkcordei:.—Macon Evening News. Tiik first issue of Americus’ new con solidated paper, the Daily Timks-Rk- <‘order, has been received, and it shows the combined efforts of tho new man agement. While the general appearance of the paper is that of the Times, the tho coat of arms of Georgia which for so long a tinio flu tiered at the head of the Recorder, still remains as a hyphen be tween the names. The Times wishes the Timks-Rkcordkr much success. The staff is Mr. Bascom Myrick, editor and manager, Mr. II. A. Chapman, late ol the Calhoun Time , .and Mr. «J. W. Furlow, while Mr. A. S. Harper, former ly of tho Recorder, will be local and news editor.—Brunswick Times. The Amkrkts Timks-Rkcordkr has made its appearance. The publication is the successor to Tiik Times and the Recorder, which have been wisely con solidated. Mr. Bascom Myrick, who was editor of Tiik Times, has been elected editor ami business manager of the new papei, and will be assisted by a strong staff* iu all the departments. Major W. L. Glessner, who was editor and proprietor of the Recorder, has been elected a director of tho new com pany, |and corresponding editor, but his time will be largely occupied in other fields. Tiik Timks-Rkcordkr gives promise of, and deserves, a suc cessful career in journalism, and this the Enquirer-Sun cordially wishes for it. —Columbus Inquirer-Sun. Now that Tiik Timks-Bkcoiidkii is again on deck by one of those unani mous Georgia majorities, and is prepared to roll up its metephorical sleeves and do some actual work for the good of Americus, the public need not be sur prised to learn that some actual steps are to be taken at once to put the street railroad in operation again. One promi nent gentleman said that he would buy WOO worth of tickets as a starter; and another is working up a plan by which one-hundred men are to take £100 each to constitute a fund for the purchase of the road. It is estimated that there are always 50,000 Americans in Italy, and that there are now about ten times as many Italians in this country. Nearly all the Americans in Italy are well off, and nearly all of the Italians who come to this country are in poverty. In most cases the Americans who go to Italy spend a few weeks or months there, while the Italians who come to the United States expect to stay here. The Americans in Italy spend their money; the Italians in the United States earn money. Gen. E. Bi rd Gri iiii, whose name defeated him for governor of New Jer sey, is now earning his grub from the American bird by appearing at Spanish court receptions in the gaudy uniform of a captain of Pennsylvania militia. Gen. Grubb is greatly admired by the t^ueen and all the other ladies, and his hoots reach above his knees. Mr. Har rison made no mistake when he sent this sort of Burd abroad to earn his grub. A QUESTION OF CONSISTENCY. The Meriwether Vindicator is after the Southern Alliance Farmer, because its present utterances are inconsistent with what was the policy of tho paper before Editor Gantt took the reins. Editor Gantt therefore calls for a ren dering unto Caesar of the things that are Ga;sar’s, and insists that the paper must be judged by what the editors now in harness say, and not by what the retired horses thought. This is sound doctrine; aud Editor Gnatt is respectfully asked to let apply to The '1 imes-Hkoorder what he in sists he himself should have the bene fit of. During the past three months the policy of The Amkkhtn Times was consistently favorable to the Farm ers Alliance. Editor Gantt is challenged to point out a'single utterance in any wise hostile to the interest of the farm ers of Georgia since the present manage ment took charge of Tiie Times. Yet Editor Gantt alluded to the Times in a recent issue as an “Alliance hating sheet.” If this was not one of the lurid Hashes of Editor Gantt’s over wrought imagination, it was based on something said months ago, about which the present editor knows noth ing. To quote this high authority: “If any one can plot a Haw or point to any Inconsistency, in our editorial utterance* since ilie new order of things has gone in.o effect, we would like them to do so. Y* u had just as well try and hold one tenant re sponsible for the crops of Ids predecessor.” Apart from denouncing Governor Northen and eulogizing Liviugston, The Times-Rk< ordkr fails to perceive wherein Editor Gautt has the advantage of tiie editor of thiN paper; and whatever good or glory the aforesaid editor can get out of such a foolish course, he is fully entitled to. The whole matter is a tempest in a teapot, a case of Tweedle dum versus Tweedledee. Governor Northen and Col. Livingston have both ridden into office on the Alliance horse; and the farmers have little real interest in the personal scores that these two gentlemen may have to settle between themselves. All that the farmers need to do is to see that neither of them, or any other of their leaders, does anything to bring discredit on the order. Let Governor Northen prove his charges, or rather his insinuations against certain Alliance leaders,and devote his time to state af fairs, to manage which he was chosen by the people. Let Col. Livingston lecture on “what I know about farming,” instead of on the shortcomings, real or imaginary, of his brother Allhincemen. Let Editor Gantt quit abusing Gov ernor Northen, who probably don’t de serve it, quit eulogizing Col Livingston, who also don’t deserve it, and devote his valuable talents and energies to tell ing the farmers something that will im prove their financial condition and help them to get out of debt and stay out. Whether Livingston is a saint and Northen a sinner, or vice versa, will not benefit one cent’s worth a single farmer in*Georgia. The white-liverod policy of the American government was never more painfully shown up than in the bare faced bluff put upon it by Italy, with her supplies of war ships and her de ficiency of cash. The failures of several large Italian houses to the amount of several million dollars has caused a fi nancial crisis that in the depleted state of the royal treasury would render it impossible for her to go to war with anybody. The craven policy of the United States towards foreign govern ments makes her a laughing stock all over Europe;and American travelers for fear of insult and shame for their coun try pass for Englishmen whenever they can. Italy knew whom to bully; and the outcome was just what might have been expected. Minister Porter and Premier Blaine apologized and promised to shell out tho cash for tho carcasses of three or four six-for-a-quarter assassins who left their country for their coun try’s good. Mr. L. W. Wall, of Buena Vista, pro poses to enter a suit for damages against Dun’s Commercial Agency for £10,00'). The cause of the suit is based upon the report iu Dun’s rating hook of one “L. W. Wall, col.,”' with the character of his business and rating. Mr. Wall claims that this report has damaged his reputation, business and credit, ami he asks compensation. If the “Col” had been at the other end of the Wall what a difference it would have made in Mr. Wall’s feelings. Dun simply put the cart before the horse, and hence this kicking. If it had been “Col” L. W. Wall be would have bad a color of title; as it is, he has a title of color, and this nice distinction is the foundation for a law suit. The preliminary organization of a cot ton compress company with a capital stock of £100,000 has been effected at Chattanooga, Tenn. All the stock has been subscribed and a site for the build ing selected. The promoters of the en terprise believe that this is the first step toward making Chattanooga a great market. Unless they let up on poor Parnell, they will make a Mormon of him. They now have him married, not only to the lively O'Shea, but to certain other mys terious and nameless females, who, scuf fling on the outskirts of oblivion, seem to be demanding recognition as the gen uine and only authorized Mrs. Parnell. THE TWITTY BILL AGAIN. The Southern Alliance Farmer says: We are glad to see the sub-alliances al over Georgia givin, such hearty endorsement to the Twltty bill—for It is a noble measure of protection for the people against legalized robbery by capitalists. This bill, it will be remembered, lack ed one vote of becoming a law last year, and has for its main purpose to prohibit the lending of money upon condition that the borrower must agree to pay ten fier cent, lawyer’s fees if legal steps are necessary to collect the debt. If Editor Gantt wishes to prevent the farmers from being able to borrow a dol lar as a means of forcing them to become self sustaining, then he is right in advo cating the Twitty bill, but if be expects capitalists to lend money at seven or eight per cent, interest, per annum, and at the end of the year pay a lawyer ten per cent, to collect tho debt, those cap italists will lend their money elsewhere than in Georgia, aud if our farmers can’t make crops on their own means, they will be skinned by the “credit supply” inen who can legally charge lifty to two hundred per cent, and then have margin enough to lose the ten per cent, the kiw is bound to get out of the case. In avoiding Scylla Editor Gantt is go ing to dash the farmers’ ship upon the rock of Charybdis, unless he is really looking to the ultimate good and de spising the present disaster that the de struction of the farmers’ ability to bor row money must entail. While fully in sympathy with any measure of relief for the toiling farmers, The Timks-Becorder doubts the wis dom of tho Twitty bill, for while it will prevent oppression and injustice in a few cases, its general results cannot fail to pinch the farmers very severely in cutting them off from borrowing money at reasonable rates, and forcing them back to the supply system at ruin ous rates. Editor Gantt is filled to overflowing with wrath, for while his cup was full with the wormwood of the Northen par lor caucus, here comes Editor Dana from the purlieus of Wall street, with tho odor of monopoly on his garments and “Basses” the Farmers’ Alliance to that degree that makes the righteous indig nation of Editor Gantt indignate with a mighty indig, or words to that effect. “A Journalistic Thug,” “An Alliance .Slanderer,” “Ananias Dana” are some of the choice epithets with which the ven erable £50,000 editor is greeted in conse quence of his vagaries on the Alliance question. The Timks-Rkcordkr does not think that Editor Dana meant any harm to the Alliance or to Editor Gantt’s sensitive nature when ho gave some off hand opinions on the general nature of such combinations. Ho judged this movement by the record of similar ones in the past, and while his views may have been superficial, they were not venomous enough to have given Editor Gantt the rabies. Editor Dana draws a £50,000 salary, and any editor who can draw that much aud survive the strain is supposed to know a thing whether he knows it or not, just as Editor Gautt ex pects his readers to think of him. Amkricth, Athens and Rome, are the rival cities of Georgia in size, business and enterprise, and the exponents of these conditions are their respective newspapers. Thus it is that any pro gressive step of the one is quickly caught up by tho others. A few weeks ago the Americus Times gave a model paper of twenty pages for her rivals to pattern after, and now the Athens Ledger comes out with a sixteen page edition, gotten up in first-class style that does credit to the management and the city it so well n‘presen Is. Mil C. 1*. Goodyear and other lead ing business men of Brunswick, Ga., have recently been iu conference with the president and tho general manager of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad Company, looking to more active work in tho development of the foreign trade of Brunswick. The tendency of the day is in the direction of a large increase in the south’s direct foreign trade, and Brunswick has largely shared in this growth. The February earnings of tho Central system show a gross increase over tie earnings of February a year ago in round numbers of £45,000, and their net earn ings show an increase of £53,000. There was a decrease in operating expenses, compared with last year, of £8,000. 'Die net increase from investments show an increase of £48,000, making an increase in tiie total income of nearly £202,000. Italy—A country that has in ex change for millions of American gold, dumped into this country hundreds of thousands of worthless vagabonds, and thousands of cut-throats—at war with us for giving an object lesson to their assassins, would contribute a brilliant chapter to tho history of enlightened civilization ef the Nineteenth century.— Chattanooga Times. It lias been announced seini-officially that Editor Sam Whitmire of the Bruns wick Times is tp retire anil be succeeded by Rev. Mr. McCook, of Macon. For a young man only a few years out of his teens, Mr. Whitmore has done exceed ingly well, and his friends will regret to see him retire from the journalistic pro fession in which he has given promise of distinction. Professor Tyndall, the great Eng lish scientist who has been critically ill with inflammation of the lungs,is report ed better, and it is hoped that the crhis has passed. MB. SEARCY’S CANDIDACY. In this issue of The Timem-Recordkr appears the announcement of Mr. W. E. II. Searcy, of Griffio, for tho presi dency of the State Farmers’ Alliance. The editor of Tiie Times-Recori»er has known Mr. Searcy for twenty years; has lived among his family and rela tives, and knows that no K etter man ever offered for any office in Georgia. The farmers may go farther and do much worse than to elect Mr. Searcy, who possesses all the requisites fora successful administration of the office to which lie aspires. His card states strongly his views and position; lie is widely and favorably known iu Georgia, and the alliance men can trust not only his integrity but bis capacity. He has inaugurated a number of en terprises in Griffin for the benefit of the Alliance, among which are an Alliance oil mill, ginnery, guano factory, agri cultural works and an Alliance hank. These are the true polities that the farmers want to cultivate. Manufactur ing at home instead of buying abroad is tiie key at last to independence, and the more the lines laid out by Mr. Searcy are practiced, the better will become the conditiou of the farmers. The “political rights” of tho farmer, of Georgia are their rights to become in dependent and self-sustaining, raise their supplies at home and have money iu bauk, and according to the principles of the Alliance, this is what they must look to for redemption from monopoly, and the oppression of poverty. Politics per so are a humbug, unless they are forced into the practical phase, which brings substantial relief to their needs. Mr. Searcy’s record is such as to com mend him most favorably to alliance- men when the question of the election of a president comes up. The death of Phineas T. Barnum at 81, removes another remarkable man from life to history. Barnum was probably the best known show man of the age, and was very original in his methods. He was the author of the word “humbug” which lie manufactured and applied to a “sell” lie once got off on the New Yorkers. He advertised liberally in New York that lie bad a new beast, heretofore unknown to natural ists, which ha called tho “humbug,” on exhibition in Brooklyn, and that it would be shown free to all New York ers who would take tho trouble to go over to Brooklyn to see it. Having previously chartered all the ferry boats at moderate rates he caught tens of thousands of extra passengers and reap ed a big harvest from the excursionists who went to see the free “humbug." When the “sell” came out it amused the public so much that tho new word was at once adopted into the American vocabulary, and will so remain even when the name of Barnum is forgotten. I’he Farmers Alliance having whipped the jute bagging trust, has now traded with that monopoly on their own terms, and hereafter it will not be illegal to use the heretofore boycotted jute. As they will say: “Whenever the Alliance suc ceeds In quashing the efforts to exact unreasonable charges by monopolies or corporations, then, of course, there is no sense in perpetuating a war simply for sentiment.” This means the end of the cotton and pine straw bagging enter prises, which were inaugurated for the purpose of accomplishing this result, which now being accomplished, dispen ses with tiie need of manufacturing :ot- I ton and straw bagging at higher co*t I than jute. • f J The Alliance over in Missis^ppi is v$ry I much divided on the sub-treas-ury ques- I tlon, and the leaders are endeavoring to I settle tho difference. Wlmt^MNsissippi I farmers need to do in a political way for I their amelioration is to continue to elect I good Democrats to Congress who will I vote for free coinage and tariff reform.
