There is a square stand-oil botween
Cleveland and Harrison, Grover wishes
that his baby had boon a boy, and Bon-
jamin wishes that his son Russell had
been a girl.
In view of tho Cleveland boom that Is
now being rocked in the cradle of little
Ruth, tho Now York Sun Is moved to
remark: “The Cleveland press is going
to give us a baby canvass."
Commenting on the prediction that
Baby Cleveland will bo a brunette, the
Kansas City Journal says that she prob
ably inherited the black eye that her
father got In the fall of 1888.
The Georgia Legislature tried to pat

The free-pass bill was put off by tlio

The bill is dead.

A HEALTHY INDUSTRIAL GROWTH.
The Manufacturers’ Record of October
10 says:
The steady improvement previously
reported In the South becomes more
pronounced every week, and while there
are some complaints of Inactivity at
special points, due to local causes, the
general advancement of the whole South
shows that this section is fast recovering
from the troubles brought on by tho late
financial stringency. New enterprises
of great magnitude and of far-reaching
Importance, as well ai many smaller
ones, are reported. Of vital interest to
iron and steelmakers everywhere Is the
signing of a contract by Mr. C. P. Hunt
ington to build a railroad to the great
Bessemer ore district of Llano, Texas,
which will open up a district that is pro
nounced by experts to be far ahead of the
Lake Superior region in abundance of
oro and in cheapness of mining. At Jef
ferson, in tho same state, the owners of
a furnance now in operation will build
steel works; at Asiitand, Ky., large Bes
semer steel works have just been com
pleted; at Principle Furnace, Mil., an old
furnace property, including 8,000 acres
of mineral land, lias been purchased by
a $1,000,000 company, which will build
a rolling mill, pipo works, Ac.; bricks
are being made for the steel and tinplate
works to be built at Savernako, Va; and
which are to cover about 15 acres of
ground; an offer lias been received to re
move an entire tinplate plant from Wales
to Sav^rnake, and is now under consid
eration; a $1,000,000 ore and coal mining
company lias been organized to operate
in East Tonnessee.
“This covers some of tlio more import
ant enterprises, showing how general is
the improvement extending from Mary
land to Texas, and how widely diversi
fied is the development that is now go
ing on, including almost every line of
manufacturing and tho utilization of
southern timbers for woodworking en
terprises of all kinds, and of southern
iron ores for iron and steel making and
of soutliorn tin ores for tinplate manu
facture. There is no speculation in any
of this growth, but simply a steady,
substantial development based on nat
ural resources.”
The resignation of the Hon. Ilonry
W. Blair of Now Hampshire as Envoy
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipoten
tiary to China lias just been accepted by
President Harrison, with appropriate
expressions of regret and esteem, Mr,
Blair was appointed and confirmed in
February last. For reasons well known
to overybody, it has been bis fortune to
exercise tho functions of his office at
Washington rather than at Pekin. For
nearly eight months ho has been,
os a minister, decidedly more
extraordinary than plenipotontiary.
His functions have been con
fined to drawing his salary and signing
tlio receipts for tho same. There has
been an attempt on the part of somo of
Mr. Blair’s frionds to give the impression
that he has conscientiously refused to
recelvo $1,000 a month from the Govern
ment as pay for work which Minister
Donby was performing. In the absenco
of conclusive evidence we cannot credit
this report. U Mr. Blair has not had the
salary In view, why has he remained in
office for eight months? Certainly not
from public spirit or for glory. At all
events, the Hod. Henry W. Blair, re
leased at last from official caret, Is at
liberty to turn his attention to tho sup
pression of the rum traffic on the high
seas; and may good lack attend him I—

The New York Herald is now the
owner of the largest printing press In
the world. R. Hoe & Co. liavo been
over a yoar building it It will print,
cut, paste, fold, eount and deliver com-
plete forty-eight thousand ten or twelve
page Heralds In one hour, whioh is
equivalent to eight hundred a minute, or
a tritle over forty-three a second. It
has a most voracious appetite for white
paper and It is not satisfied with being
fed from one roll—It must have three.
This gigantlo machine will consume
over twonty-flve tnilos of paper in an
hour, drawing it in to throw it out
again in tho shape of Heralds all ready
for the world to read.
Hon. W. P. Sapp (head), Of Chat-
taliooclico county, has mado an
army of enemies throughout Georgia.
His bill to make newspapers responsible
for anonymous communications, which
passed tho house Monday, cuts off “Vox
Populi," “Old Citizen," “Tax Payer,'
“Constant Reader," oto., from ailing
their opinions through the newspapers,
and they aro not going to liko it. How
ever, the senate has not passed the bill,
so old “Vox Populi” may still bo happy.
Now is tlio time for Governor Xorthcn
to set the veto mill grinding, as a ilood
of bills of various grades and degrees of
viciousness, which were rushed through
at the last hours, will como up for his
approval. Mauy of theso aro of no
earthly value to tho state and therefore
should not be allowed to become law.
Let tlio Governor keep before him that
“Unnecessary legislation is pernicious
legislation,” and apply the veto without
fear or favor.
TUe Columbus Enquirer, in comment
ing on the defeat of the Berner bill In
the upper house, says: “The old relia
ble Georgia Senate has many times in
the past saved the state from reckless
and harmful legislation, and it U a mat
ter for public congratulation that the
present body has carried forward the
tradition.”
THE COTTON SEED COMBINE.
The South Carolina planters have not
succeeded very well in their Sea Island
“cotton seed combine. ” It has been
known for a long time that the long and
silky staple was not so much a product
of a special soil as of skillful selection
and crossing, and as portions of Georgia
and Florida have suitable soils the intent
was to limit production by limiting the
sale of seed to those who preferred to
buy rather than to produce through an
exercise of skill. Many of those who
belonged to the skillful producers fa
vored the combine, but better judgment
prevailed and among those bolding the
latter was Mr. W. G. Hinson, of James
Island, whose address proved the turn
ing point in the consideration of the
question. He at first favored the idea,
but after consideration lie became con
vinced that it was “utterly and absolute
ly impracticable.”
His views are thus stated by the Nows
and Courier of Charleston, S. C.:
“In liis opinion, even if a perfect com
bination could bo formed, it w'ould be a
great disadvantage to tlio islands, as
combinations always stimulated the op
position. Within the past season seven
hundred bags of long staple cotton, a
variety new to the market, and totally
distinct from Sea Island cotton, and yet
having a staple of from an inch and a
quarter to an an inch and a half, had
been grown from green seed. Mr. Hin
son said that he believed that in five
years’ time, by careful selection, a vari
cty could be obtained that would com
pete formidably with any of our grade.”
This is a sensible deduction, for
whilst locality and soil favored those
willing to expend the energy in tho pro
duction of a very valuable sido issue in
their increased sales through others
buying their seed, yet, as Mr. Hinson
says, it is never wise to stimulato oppo
sition.
MONItOE COUNTY VS. THE WORLD.
A correspondent of the Constitution at
Barue8ville writes:
While at the picnic lit Prospect church last
Thursday, I got some facts about a remarka
ble family. It is the family of Mr. W, H,
Thurmond, ihe famous Inventor of the car-
coupler that is now very popular la the rail
road world. Mr. Thurmond’s family con
sists of twenty-five sons and daughters,
which Is probably tho largest family in this
section. Another remarkable fact nbout It
Is ;hat eighteen of Ills children, and If wo re-
member correctly, eighteen sons, now pos
sess diplomas from the leading schoola of the
country, and are all doing exceedingly well
In the vocations which they have chosen
“Necessity Is the mother of Invention," and
this may account for the Invention of the
Thurmond car-coupler.
The editor of The Times-Rbcordeh
is well acquainted with this remarkable
Monroe county man and bis family; and
about 1880 or ’81 assisted Mr. Thurmond
to take out tho patent on the coupler out
of which ho will probably realize a
fortune.
In this connection it may he statod
that two other Monroe county families
are on a par with Mr. Thurmond’s; one
of Mr. Alfred Meddlebrooks, who bad
twenty-four children; and the othor,
Rev. Benj. Haygood, who had twenty-six.
Now let Sumter county como to the
front with a record to beat this if she
can.
Senator Gorman, who is so thor
oughly allvo to the situation, declared in
dspeech In Maryland last week that the
force bill is MU an Issue. “The bill will
will come agalty” said he, “if Harrison
Is re-elected. J Do not mistake the signs
of the tiitfe's. Massachusetts had Lodge,
who introduced the bill, as chairman of
its Republican convention; its resolve
was the force bill. Ohio and every Re
publican state that has acted are for It.
The Republican party is Irrevocably
committed to it; their very existence de
pends upon it. That question is above
taxes and oxtravagance; it determines
the question of tho continuance of the
form- of government under which wo
live."
Monroe county, Georgia, has three
citizens who have lived under every
president from Washington to Harrison.
They are Alexander Perkins, Cyrus
Sharp, sr, and Andrew Zellner. They
are respectively 07, 04 and 03 years old.
They aro not all yet as old as were sev
eral other citizens of that county at their
death; ltobort McGough having died at
100, Thomas Battle at 08, William Evers
at 00, John M. Chambliss at 00, and
Georgo W. Driskcll at 04. Tbo woods
are full of them from 75 to 00, who will
como along into notoriety when they
grow old.
The negroes have drawn the color line out
in Oklahoma. Langston, a town of 900 iuliab-
1 ants, has uo Caucasian Inhabitants, and
the black property owners have entered Into
a contract to sell no foot of land to the
whites. The ndjacent territory Is also con
trolled by negroes.—Maeon Telegraph.
There can be no objection to this. It
is highly commendable. If they will
only go a little further and duplicate all
the laws of the Indian Territory it is
hard to say how much good may be the
outcome. Possibly a lesson which will
result iu a vice versa system here, thus
elucidating tlio problem of the age.
THE SOUTH AT CHICAGO.
The Manufacturers' Record thinks
there is very great danger that the
World's Fair will prove an injury rather
than a benefit to the south. In speaking
of it, the Record says that the World’s
Fair will be the greatest exposition
which has ever been seen, and that the
number of visitors will be f ar in excess
of the attendance at any preceding
world's fair, no longer admit of any
question. Before the gates are open
probably upwards of $50,000,000 will
have been spent on the buildings and ex
hibits. The whole world will be fully
represented there. The west, the north
west and the Pacific coast will probably
make tile finest exhibits of their re
sources in soil, minerals and timbers,
and of their manufactured and agricul
tural products, that have ever been seen.
What is the south going to do ?
It must meet these other sections iu a
fair fight for supremacy, and win or
lose tlio greatest opportunity that has
ever been offered for attracting the at
tention of the world. A meagre display
will be overshadowed by the magnificent
exhibits of other states, and do more
harm than good. Against the iron ores
of the south will be put the splendid
ores of tlie Lake Superior region; south
ern coals and cokes will have to meet in
competition the coals and cokes of Penn
sylvania, Washington and other states;
southern timber tho magnificent timbers
of California and Washington. It is a
critical time for the whole south. Shall
we make such unequalled displays of
our natural resources as to draw to the
south the attention of the millions of
visitors to the fair, or shall we, through
lack of energy and enterprise, lose the
chance and see the tide of men and
money turned to other sections ?
This is the cloud with a varnishing
silver lining as it appears to Editor Mc-
Cunc of tlio National Economist:
“Gradually but surely the Democratic
politiciaus are drifting away from freo
coinage. It is remarkable how easily
the people’s representatives change their
opinions. When congress adjourned tho
Democratic party was loud in its de
mand for freo coinage, but sinco then
mutters have assumed a far different
aspect. Wall street has been making
use of its peculiar methods with the
usual effect. Prominent Democratic
papers are now outspoken against free
coinage, and both senators and congress
men aro either talking against it or
keeping quiet with but few exceptions.
From present appearances tho people
will not fare any better in regard to
financial relief at the hands of a Demo
cratic majority than they did at the
hands of a Republican congress.”
It is now an avowed fact that Mr.
Cocil Gabbett, the late general manager
of tho Contral road, will be connected
with some northwestern system of roads.
In a private letter to a friend hero Mr.
Gabbett said as muoh os tho abovo. He
also stated that tho roads of the South
were consolidating very fast and pre
dicted that at no distant day there would
be only one big system bf roads down
hero. Mr. Gabbett )said he made $50,-
000 on his recent trip to Mexico. He
went down there to inspect and appraise
a system of railroads for a Now York
syndleato, which syndicate afterward
bought the property on the report of Mr.
Gabbett.—Montgomery Advertiser.
“The People’s Party Paper,” the
new third party organ,by Elam Christian,
published in Atlanta, lias made its ap
pearance, and a copy has reached The
Times-Recohoer office. It is neat in
appearanco and stylo. Its “arnounce-
ment" Is that “The People’s Party Pa
per” has been launched upon the sea of
journalism to supply a want felt by the
masses, not only In Georgia,but through
out the country." The sheriff never yet
scooped a paper that hadn’t started out
on the same platform, and unless there
are a great many third partyites hidden
out in the woods, this now venture will
go tho way of other pioneers.
Twenny years ago, on Friday eve
ning, Mrs. O'Leary’s famous cow kicked
over a lamp and started a fire that swept
Chicago from the south branch of the
river to the lako and from Congress
street on the south to Centre streot on
tho north—ono of the most extended
and most costly fire over known. To
day, Chicago, if sho remembers Mrs.
O'Leary’s cow at all, would probably be
inclined to erect a monument in the an
imal's honor. For, though it was a
dreadful fire for Chicago people, the city
is finer and better in every way for the
destruction of her wooden houses.
THE PEOPLE VS. THE RAILROADS.
Pat Calhoun signified his willingness
to go before the people on the Issues in
volved in the railroad legislation which
has been pending in the Legislature.
The defeat of the Berner bill may-result
in such a general campaign. There is a
strong indication that the regulation or
control of the railroads Is to be made the
issue of the next campaign. The Olive
bill of the previous session and the Ber-
ncr-Smith bill of this session, were bare
ly defeated by the most vigorous efforts
of the conservative element of the Legis
lature, and public sentiment; but with
such incendiaries as Tom Watson to in
fiuence the minds of the masses, the
question just laid aside is by no means
dead; and will come up again more vig
orously than ever. Mr. Calhoun, no
doubt, recognizes that the war is on;
and that tlie properties ho represents
will be legislated out of existence ou the
next rouml, unless lie begins “a cam
paign of education” in time to forestall
such an event.
If such be tlie programme, be will be
met by Watson and Berner, and others
on the stump; and such another exciting
campaign may bo expected as has not
been seen since the time of the Whigs
and Democrats, when Hill, Stephens,
Johnson, Toombs and Joe Brown
measured swords.
It is obvious that the fight (s going to
come; and the sooner the issues now
pending are settled, the better for tho
stability of values and the prosperity of
Georgia.
The divided factions in Ireland seem
all the more embittered and estranged
because of Parnell’s death. The fol
lowers of the dead leader seem to con
sider that ho was a martyr to persecu
tion, which it is their duty to rcsont by
continued opposition to his enemies.
This is unfortunate in that it must work
harm to Ireland and the cause of home
rule. There should bo a general recon
ciliation now while all parties should re
member only the virtues of tlio doprrtod
great. No man over did more in less
time for Ireland’s emancipation than did
Parnell; and while the ono error of his
life will be forgiven, his name will go
down to history as ono of tho greatest of
the many patriots who have made
Ireland illustrious.
WORLD'S FAIR NOTES.
It has been so long sinco anybody
asked the question, “Does the Keely mo
tor mote?” that tbo public may be some
what surprised to find that Keely is still
‘moting,” even if his motor don't, and
tho stockholders are sighing, “So mote
it bo.” In the Engineering Magazine
for October is the report of a gentleman
who has investigated it quite recently,
and with the same result os heretofore,
that It is an unparallelled fraud; and yet
thousands of dollars go annually from
one set of people or another into the
coffers of Keely, who says, “So mote It
be” so long as this fleecing continues.
Keely is a more wonderful machine than
his motor.
The Czar was scared tho other day by
a kodak. Tho fellows who take snap-
shots at czars usually do tho business
with bombs. Alexander took the kodak
for a new kind of nitre-glycerine recep
tacle.
The only decent thing the Legislature
did was to vote a liberal appropriation
for pensions to the Confederate widows.
Let this little oasis In the desert of gen
eral folly be remembered to their credit.
IIon. Gazaway IIartridoe as quoted
by tlie Savannah News, beliovcs that tlie
people of Goorgia have seen tho last of
legislation against railroads. Tlie law
makers recognize that there is no neces
sity for it and only has the effect of de
preciating securities. A conservative
course, ho thinks, will hereafter bo fol
lowed by tho legislators.
Woodhull and Clallin aro coming

sho is going to deliver fifty lectures for

Editor Larry Gantt—than whom,
after all, there is no more popular news
paper man In the state—Is a very slok
man. His lungs are troubling him, and
he has had several hemorrhages.
Five millions of dollars aro spent In
the state of New Hampshire among her
her mountains every year, and a much
larger sum can bo stoppod In Georgia by
such investments as the Windsor Hotel
for tho winter abode of Invalids. This,
however, can only bo accomplished by
judicious and liboral advertising. Is it
not time that the Amerieus Investment
Company was up and about their scheme
of advertisement. There is no good
reason why the coming winter Bhould be
allowed to slip by, and if not, why not
crystalizo our planB and make every
thing work up to them ?
Arose of the railroads as monopolists
and'oppressors of tho people does not
prevent the legislator from accepting a
freo pass. The Chicago Inter-Ocean
makes this comment on the action of
the Legislature; “The Georgia Legisla
ture had a chance the other day of vot
ing on a resolution prohibiting members
from riding on free passes on the rail
roads. They promptly voted It down.
In the discussion the fact came out that
nearly every member was riding freo.
Several of them, however, expressed a
willingness to cripple railways whenever
they could "

Tlie owners of one of tlie finest busi-
ness corners in Chicago have decided to
erect a $1,000,000 10-story building, to

template a structure strikingly ornate
and artistic, of tho Spanish stylo of arch
itecture.
Tho Western Union Telegraph Com
pany intends to frame liaLdsomely the

The message was received by Prof,
Morse at the capitol in Washington,
from an assistant in Annapolis.
The American Pomological Society, at
its recent annual meeting in Washing
ton, decided to make an exhibit classi-
fled by state and county associations,
and also by individuals; and it appoint

ment, and to perfect arrangements.
It is not thought probable now that
there will bo any tower at tho World's
Fair. The projectors of the most prom
ising tower scheme abandoned it when
they found that they would have to take
it down when the exposition closed, be
cause the park commissioners refused
to grant them any subsequent use of the
park.
Octobor 30 will be “World's Fair Day"

Franco has asked 25,000 and The |
Hague 11,000 squaie feet for their pic
ture exhibits alone. Until recently it I
was thought that the weakest feature of
the exposition would be its fine arts ex
hibit. Now, however, It Is believed that
this will bo one of the best of all, owing I
to the faot that European artists recog
nise In Americans the best purchasers of
tboir work and they are anxious to take j
advantage of the exceptional opportun
ity which tho exposition will offer them
to show their paintings to the American |
poople.
