Editor and > THE TIMES I’L'M.lSIilNG O 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.

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 DAGNKR FROM WOMEN.

Tho fact is, the morality of those un fortunate people is hardly on a par with their intelligence and cultivation, and tho observation of scores of people who have lived in factory towns and arc well acquainted with the inside of this ques tion, goes far to prove that Mrs. Felton’s lews are largely erroneous and that her zeal is not according to knowledge. It is to be regretted that tho facts are against Mrs. Felton, for it would be better for the country and for society if her information was based on facts which, unfortunately, it is not.

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.* The trial of Robert and Richard How ard and James Uickerstalf, for killing Mr. J. C. Dawson at tho Columbus ex position grouuds last fall, which was to have been tried in Muscogee superior court this week, has been postponed on account of the sickness of one of the leading attorneys for the defense. The case excites a good deal of interest, and p^mises some rich developments when it does comes up for trial. lines of the feminine lUu e. They also co pel them when abroad lo veil their fne and when at home to remain apart from the observation of all men except their h ha t ds. Tho early CliH stians, or th* Christians ot the Kecond and third centuries, were very much o' the same mind. “Natural grace,’' says rertulliun,“nniHt be obliterate! by con- ce Imrntor negligence, ns being dangerous to the glances of IIi3 beholder’s eyes. Let he be entirely covered, unless she happen to be at home.” A woman was only to quit her own house when visiting the sick or going church, nnd then she was required to go closely veiled, so that not an inch of her face should he revealed even when she was at. 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. That N more consistent than merely to H i women to wear tights In any public pi I fit is Immoral and indecent for them to sh.m th«»r legs,they ought not to show any part of tbcm«elves.

Let us hope that the fanners will reap the benefit of the advanced prices this year, and that they may hereafter al ways bo ready for the rise in farm products. _ efforts in future against the accomplish ment of such a scheme, for the alliance and die democrats,locked in*inseparable union as they are,will iind a party split disastrous to both.

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 might again be his reward when a man of modi better chance of getting through safely. To be great is well: but to be great and to bo trusted is hotter 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 Herald. LET US SMILE. The rains of Monday and Tuesday have broken the long drouth, which for tho past two months lias almost blasted the hopes of the farmers throughout this section, hut plentiful showers have fallen and blessed tho land with re freshments from the invisible hand and all nature smiles. It is not too late, and tho crops, though stunted iu their growth, will spring forth with new vigor, and a bountiful harvest may yet be in store for those who have worked with unfaltering hope and the results of their untiring labor will fully award them in the end. The rains have been general over the country, and tho news comes from all sections that tho drouth is broken. The relief is great and the farmer’s face is beaming with smiles. Mi:. Gladstone lias niado reply to a bookbinder of London, who made a com plaint against tho American tax of twenty-five per cent, of tho net value of hooks, which, the writer said, would xclude valuable old volumes which had been rebound in England from exhibi tion at the World’s fair to he held in Chicago. Mr. Gladstone says: “I sym pathize with you in your exclusion from the United States by a regulation which is so peculiar as to ho almost a carica ture of the idea of protection. On the other hand, 1 hope that you do not de- siro to see the principle of protection established in England.

Then the Esmeralda offered to purchase from tho Pacific Mail Steamship Company, which keeps a coaling station there. Tho president of tho company telegraphed tho depart ment from New York, asking for in structions in tho matter. Ho was im mediately notified that lie should not un der any circumstances sell them a bush el of coal, and then to mako matters doubly sure Consul McCaskey, at Aca pulco, was instructed to see that the orders of the department were strictly obeyed. Without coal the Esmeralda cannot move out of the harbor. She will be compelled to remain there until assistance can be sent to her from Chili. It is an extraordinary* situation. There has been some expectation that she might resort to force to supply her bunkers, for there is plenty of coal in and around the town, but this is hardly probable. Her safer plans, and the one she will probably follow, is to commu nicate her situation to the authorities at Iquique and await their action. No word has yet been received from the Itata. The Charleston is expected to reachlPanama any hour, but it is uncer tain whether she will stop there. She has coal enough to run her to Payti, a port in northern Peru. Twenty*five states have so far made appropriations for World’s fair exhibits, ranging from $5,000 in the case of Ver mont to $:500,000 by California and Pennsylvania.

Debtor McCune, editor of the National Economist, is boldly attacking both parties, to bolster up the new converts to the third party movement, and in so doing makes statements that are with, out foundation in so far as concerns the branch of democracy that the south con tains. Everybody here knoYVs that there isn’t a word of truth in connection with southern democracy in the following: Evidence Is accumulating dally to prove that the two old parties have entered into an agreement, offensive and defensive, against the alliance and its demands. As a result it will tube a bold roan, actuated by hone»t intensions and loyal to principle, to remain an office-holder in either party ami continue deadly to the alliance aud its efforts at reform.

The Louisiana Supremo court lias de cided what is known as tho Hope bond 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 and interest to tho funded debt of the state. On the other hand the state comes into possession of valuable real estate upon which tho bonds were predicated. England is becoming alarmed at the exodus of destitute Hebrew’s from Rus sia, as large numbers of them are seek ing refuge in Great Britain. This move ment has assumed such proportions that it is termed tho “Hebrew invasion of England." It is estimated that about five hundred appeals are made each week to the different newspapers by * n ‘ dividuals urging that tho authorities should introduce legislation to exclude destitute aliens similar to the immigr* tion law recently adopted by the t u* tC1 ^ States.

If the members hang together the next legislature will have many alliance mem bers, and possibly a majority. Justice Harlan, of tho supreme court of the United States in a recent decision, coined the word “Yardage,” that is a change for “Yarding” up cattle at railway stations for shipment. So the supreme court makes words as well as law. the other states, but it looks a little shaky now. Augusta and Charleston have been talking by telephone a distance of 1.57 miles, by simply connecting the tele phones with tho telegraph wires be tween the two cities.
