Amcneus, Ga., May 29, 1891.
Georgia was not officially repre.
sen ted at the Cincinnati convention.
Georgia ami Mississippi were the only
states which did not take part.
The biographies of Ilenry W. Hilliard
and William L. Yancey will bo issued
about the same time this summer. These
two men had some warm meetings in
Alabama during the days of whigs and
democrats.
The celebrated IIoward-Bickerstaff
murder case, wb ! ch was to have come to
trial m Columbus yesterday, was post
poned until the fall term, because of the
absence of leading counsel and some
material witnesses.
Die IIaygood says that the negro’s
right in the public schools of the south
wag in mortal jeopardy while the last
congress was in session. The passage
and enforcement of what the southern
press called the “force hill,” would
have wrecked the negro’s chances of
public education.
The People’s Party does not impress
the Nashville American very forcibly.
It says: “The Cincinnati third party
ship has been fairly lauched upon the
rude and tempestuous sea of party
politics. It is a rakish craft and carries
as mongrel a crew as over trod tint dock
of a pirate ship and terrorized the peace
ful commerce of the seas.”
John Young Broyvn has been nomi
nated for governor of Kentucky by the
democrats. lie will be remembered as
the man who gave old Hen Butler such
an unmerciful excoriation upou the floor
of congress, when they both were mem
bers some years ago. Nothing that was
ever uttered on that line surpassed it,
except the bitter and sarcastic attack
made by Blaine upon Conkling under
similar circumstances about twenty
years ago.
The How of gold to Europe is in great
er volume than was anticipated when
the outgo began, but there seems to be
no reason for alarm. Wo have the larg
est stock of the metal in the world and
there is a sharp demand for it in Eu
rope, owing to the had financial situa
tion ever there. Gold will stop going
when it is worth as much for immediate
use in this country as in Europe. When
the crops begin to go forward, the gold
will come back again, in all probability.

controversy of recent date is at-

50! ton mill, and Mrs. I)r. Felton's reply in

Felton in particular.
“ Apart from the interest felt in the pit- 1
; ting of two such brilliant women against j v
each other, the public feel deeply in-j
j terested in the merits of the controversy j "
per se, because with the growth of cot-
j ton manufacturing in Georgia and the j
| south, the factory people will form no j »
inconsiderable element in our popula- j “
tion, as is already the case in Augusta • u
and Columbus.
However much the public would like j »
to think that the more utopian views of f(
Mrs. Felton were correct, there exists
no doubt iu the mind of The Timks-Kk-
< order that Mrs. Felton is mistaken,
has been misinformed and lias acquired
only a superficial smattering of the
facts as they relate to the true status of
the cotton mill operatives; Miss Do-
Graffenreid’s views being nearer cor
reef, based on a more careful and thor
ough survey of the Held.
In the goodness of her heart and the
philanthropy of her nature, Mrs. Felton
springs to the rescue of the reputation
of these people from the supposed un
just attack of Miss DeGralTonreid; and
in her zeal to protect them she over
looks their vices, while extolling their
virtues too highly. Candor compels the
admission that Mrs. Felton errs more
largely on one side than does Miss T)e-
GralTenrei.l on the other; for the condi
tions, mental, moral, social and relig
ious, that surround the Georgia cracker
in the cotton mill are anything but fa
vorable.
No more undesirable class as a rule
can come into a community than these
people; and it is useless to try to cham
pion them as Mrs. Felton does, upon the
authority of mill presidents and super-
entondents, whose interest it is to pre
sent the most flattering reports of the
condition of their operatives. Does
Mrs. Felton really expect mill officials to
tell her, for publication, the unvarnished
truth about the morals ? Suppose that
a considerable number of the men were
drunkards and the women of lax virtue,
and a mill superintendent should say so
in plain word*; what would be the result
of a publication of such statements ?
The mill would have no end of trouble

The appointment of General Manager
Gabbctt of the Central railroad as gen
eral manager of the Macon and Northern
railway, announced in Sunday Morning’s
News, is regarded as an Indication that
the road will soon be controlled by the
Central. Tho road was formerly the
Macou and Covington. Its officers are:
President, Alexander Brown, of Balti
more; treasurer, A. Craig Palmer, of At
lanta; general manager, Cecil Gabbett,
of Savannah; directors, Alexander
Brown and Skipwith Wilmer, of Balti
more; Robert L. Harrison, of New York;
W. Checkly Shaw, of Baltimore; Pat
Calhoun, A. C. King and J. J. Spalding,
of Atlanta.
The Times-Recorder acknowledges
tho receipt of the fifth annual report of
the New York Southern Society, which
contains, among other matters of inter
est, a report off the fifth annual banquet
aud the speeches of various distin
guished gentlemen thereat. Among the
notable speakers were Judge Rogers.
Pryor, Hon. Thos. F. Bayard, Hon. C. H.
Breckinridge and Col. Frederick Taylor.
Tho b mquets of this society have ac
quired a national importance by reason
of the character of the speakers and
speeches. The south is deriving na
tional benefit from the presence of so
powerful an organization of southern
men in the metropolis.
There has been a eflange in tho per-
sonei of the Brunswick company by
which Mr. J. F. O’Shaughnessy retires
from the presidency, to be succeeded by
Mr. Dyer of New York, and Treasurer
and local Manager \V. E. Kay is succeed
ed by Mr. W. O. Allison of New York.
Messrs. Goodyear & Key still remain as
eneral counsel. During the recent
stringency in the money markets, the
quotations of this stock have fallen
from thirty to fourteen, though ten is
par value. Brunswick feels a good
deal of interest in the policy of the new
management as the welfare of the city is
closely identified with the Brunswick
company, which owns nearly a million
dollars worth of property there.
for from it much truth is likely to be
elaborated, which may result in some
movement to benefit this class of peo
ple, whose lot is far from an enviable
one.
TOO MI C’II MAJORITY.
The joint caucus of the democratic
members of both houses of the Plot Ida
legislature has been adjourned sine die
after an existence of nearly six weeks,
and the election of a United States sen
ator to succeed Calli will have to be
determined in regular session irrespect
ive of caucuses. Nobody could over get
the requisite two-thirds; all of which
goes to show the folly of any such
rule.
A majority ought to be good enough
for democracy, and when that line is
passed there is no good reason why a
two-thirds or three-fourths standard
should be set up, when a unanimous
voto might as well be required.
Georgia got enough of such methods
in tho famous Colquitt-Norwood guber
natorial campaign not to want any more
of her own or Florida’s late experiences
in arbitrary majorities.
Mi ch curiosity is arouse to know who
is the Georgian who fought a sword duel
with Baron Rudolph Kalnowky de Ko-
rospatak at Chicago on Sunday. The
baron is a noble Austrian, nephew of
Count Kalowsky x of Vienna, and was
making a fool of himself over a beauti
ful singer of the Duff opera company.
The Georgian wounded the count aud
then skipped out without revealing his
identity. The Tjm ks-Rkcorder ven
tures the guess that the unknown Geor
gian was either Elder Livingston, Par
son Sam Small or Statesman Tom
Watson.*

Tho early CliH stians, or th* Christians ot
the Kecond and third centuries, were very
much o' the same mind. “Natural grace,’'

ce Imrntor negligence, ns being dangerous

church, nnd then she was required to go
closely veiled, so that not an inch of her face

prayer. Hhe was forbidden to adorn herself
In any way. for adornment, of course, pro-
oked and was lutenued to provoke observa
tion. She was admonished to make of her-
asmuehofaguy as possible, to that she
should bo repulsive to the sight rather than
reenble. She was not to go abroad for
pleasure, und she was not to go to the thea
tres nnd public places. Instead of seeking
to win the admiration of men, she was en
joined to strive to atone for the crime of her
mother Eve, who brought sin into ihe world
by her temptation of man. Clement,of Alex
andria, hade her reflect with shame “of what,
nature she is.” The views was that a wo
man is necessarily a temptress because she is
a woman; and that accordingly she ought to
keep out of sight as far as possih’e.

THE SLIPPERY STATESMAN.
Did you ever consider just what the
exact status of Mr. Blaine, of Maine, is
m the public estimation ?
When he is sick, then is he well; and
when he is in earnest, then is he per
petuating a joke on somebody.
Mr. Blaine, in this respect, is the most
anomalous character in American poli
tics. With all his distinction and his
brilliant thirty years’ career in public
life, everybody suspects him, none so
much as his own party colleagues. If he
declares that he is ill, they grope around
to sec if it is not a feint to some deep-
laid purpose.
haps no better example* of Mac-
havellian diplomacy in politics has ever
appeared in tills country than the bril
liant down-easter, who in spite of his
juestioned ability, has always man
aged to keep everybody so suspicious of
<>r * him on one ground or another, that he
has never reached tho one great em
inence which it has been his life long
ambition to gain. Even now, iu spite of
his late record of statemanship, and his
overshadowing greatness among the
lesser lights of his party, he can hardly
hope to gain the presidental nomi
nation; and if ho should defeat

THE OUTFLOW OF GOLD.
Europe has got more than $40,000,000
of our gold within tho last few months,
and still tho outflow continues at the
rate of several millions a week. Our fi
nanciers say that the outflow will cease
shortly. It is to be hoped that it will.
It is having a paralyzing effect in this
country.
It is truo that no financial disturb
ances have been produced, and it is
probable that we could stand the loss of
good many millions more without
showing any symptoms of alarm, but
the fact cannot be concealed that there
is a lack of buoyant feeling in the money
centers and business circles of the coun
try in consequence of this steady out
flow, the most of which is going to
Russia, where it will be permanently
withdrawn from circulation.
It is had for a government when it is
distrusted by it own subjects. During
the past two months, in which the Ital
ian government has been alarmed for
the safety of its subjects in this coun
try, many thousands of its subjects have
taken all the risks *by coming here.
Our consul at Naples sends word that
it this time Italians are leaving that
port for tho United States as fast as
steamships can he found to carry the
rEFFEHS’ PARTY.
There is probably no one in America
more familiar with the third party or
ganization than Mr. Peffer, of Kansas.
Mr. Peffer is the gentleman who suc
ceeds the brilliant and meteoric Ingalls
in the United States senate. lie is flu
ent in speech, conservative in thought
and accurate in statement.
After describing in detail the causes
which led to tho formation of the neYV
party he said; “Shall we put a presi
dential ticket in the field next year?
Yes. I can’t tell you who our nominee
will be. We are at this time consider
ing that subject. It will bo discussed
and action taken, no doubt, at our con
vention, which will bo held at Spring-
field, Ill., on February 22, 1892. If
nothing bo fdone there, wo shall again
meet iu convention early in tho June
following. We have not selected the lo
cation, but it will probably be at Indian
apolis or Louisville or some other cen
tral point. We shall mako strong effort
to carry our presidential ticket.
“Fiankly, I don’t think wo shall win;
but wo will mako so great a showing
that we shall convince not only our own
people but people- generally that with
another year’s organization we can
easily become the dominant party.’’
that lie did not reckon the conseque nces
to his nervous system.
No man in this country ever excited
such admiration on tho one hand
such determined opposition on ^
other. For years lie lias beeni nt j le
vortex of political events, has met ap
palling odds with courage and succumb,
ed to fate with all the grace the occasion
demanded.
Such a life of strange vicissitude and
constant struggle tells on a man as
advances. He cannot keep up the strain
with impunity; cannot stay in the thick
of the fight without bearing away some
deep wounds.
We have opposed Mr. Blaine s meas-
ures, have been both free and fearless
our comments on his policy. As
sturdy contestant for what lie believes
to he right, however, yvo are alwayj
glad to give him credit. lie is a fo*
worthy of any man’s steel, and if it be
true that lie is either partially or wholly
disabled wo desire to he among the first
to express our sorrow.
It is to he hoped, however, that
rent reports are an exaggeration and
that wo shall have tho pleasure of mee'
ing him on the field of political b* ,
for many years to come.—New York

The rains of Monday and Tuesday
have broken the long drouth, which for

the hopes of the farmers throughout
this section, hut plentiful showers have

growth, will spring forth with new
vigor, and a bountiful harvest may yet

their untiring labor will fully award
them in the end.
The rains have been general over the

sections that tho drouth is broken.

Mi:. Gladstone lias niado reply to a

offered to purchase from tho Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, which keeps
a coaling station there. Tho president
of tho company telegraphed tho depart

It is an extraordinary* situation. There
has been some expectation that she
might resort to force to supply her

probable. Her safer plans, and the one
she will probably follow, is to commu

The Louisiana Supremo court lias de

case against tho state. Hope A Co., of
Anjterdam. purchased forty years ago
over $4,000,000 of bonds issued by the
Citizens’hank of New Orleans which were
guaranteed by the state. The hank re
tired all its issue except the bonds held
by Hope A Co., and finally ceased to
pay Interest on these, arranging with
the state to take its real estate and as*
ssumo tho obligations thereon. Hope
& Co. then demanded payment from the
state, which was refused. Suit was en
tered for a mandamus to compel the
Funding hoard to fund tho bonds. In
the lower court the decision was in fa
vor of the state. This decision was re
versed Friday, tw*o of tho live judges
dissenting, and the mandamus was or
dered to issue. The effect will he the
addition of several millions principal

state. On the other hand the state
comes into possession of valuable real

predicated.
