n lM?t*n called to tae fact that comrades
tiring tlie budge and uniform ol tin* Grand
Army ol the Republic participated in it re
cent demonstrutiou where the Confederate
Hug was cur.led and displayed
*-or four long yeurs you braved nil t ie per
Ms unci vicissitudes of war to wipeout all limt
that (lag represented. When your great work
was accomplished the grand I'nlon armies
bad become the most powerful and effective
the world hud ever seen. They melted a wily
Rkc the snow on the hilltops under the
beams of a noonday sun. You resumed the
peaceful vocations of civil life, and the na
tion resumed once more its career of uupar-
a elled progress, prosperity and happiness.
There never was in the history of any clvll-
izeo warfare such magnanimity evinced to
wards a foe as the terms of the stirrend- r of
Lee's army at A ppomattox. We had learned
to admire the gallantry of the men at* had
vanquished as only men could admire them
who hud tested their endurance and valor
upon many bloody battlefields. When they
laid down their arms we sought peace; we
reached out the right hand of fellowship to
a'l who would accept It on the broad grounds
of American citizenship and unconditional
loyalty. The contest had cost us untold mil
lions of dol ars and the live* of thousands of
the bravest and best who marched un er the
Htars and Htrlpen down into the jaws of
death, not for a party or a creed, for men of
all opinions and affiliation* gave up their
lives to nave the Nation from disruption and
the flag from dishonor.
To-day the mme flag which floats over and
piotects the conquerors, protects cquabyas
well the conquered. W« admire the spirit
which prompts the people of the Booth to
commemorate the gallantry of the men who
sacrificed their lives Ip the “lost cause,” but
that civil conflict settled one great question,
the battle for the I'nlon was right, the doc
trine of secession was wrong, and the Htars
and Stripes, the emblem of liberty, equal
rights, justice and law, Is the only ling which
the loyal people of this great nation respect
and honor. We saved orr children the
test they would have been compelled to en
counter. We have given them a heritage of
peace and prosperity instead of an enormous
and expensive litigation to la? settled by-
jury of soldiers ucd to-day every American
citizen is in the full enjoyment of the fruits
of our gieat labors. We cannot afford to
lose sight of the valor that achieved victory
for the right. We can never forget what
the contest cost us In blood and treasure.
We must not forget that loyally to country
is not a mere sentiment, but that it requires
n devotion to ptiuciple. add that principle
means that the (lag which every soldier stood
ready to defend with l is life must now be
Habited with honor. Ore of the great prinei-
ciplesof our organization is to teach the ris
ing generation loyalty lo the country and
fidelity to duty. The Union soldiers have
said to the soldiers of tlnHoJth: ‘ Wo have
no desire to arouse sectional animosities or
passion engendered by the war. <
loyaltv and in return we will give vou frater
nity.” You have demonstrated your frater
nity on numerous occasions, but when com
rades joined in the ro.-ent ceremonies in
honor of the memory of a patriotic journal
ist an I philanthropist they found them-
selves confronted with the emblem of tiea-
son, which Is un evidence to you that
there sllll lurks in the hearts of a few
leslre, by the display of that flag, to fire
the hearts of the young generation of the
South to rebellion. A comrade wearing the
badge or uniform of the order participating
in any deinonsiration where the "rebel” flag
Is dl-played violates his obligation to "main-
lain true allegiance to the United Htntes of
America; to honor Its Constitution; to dis
countenance whatever tends to weakon loy
ally. Incite treason or rebellion, and to en
courage universal liberty and justice to all
mankind" and brings disgrace upon the or
der of which he is a member.
While the Commander In-Chief has ncl-
tliei the right nor disposition to interfere
with the individual right or privileges of
members of the order, he has assumed un ob
ligation to p otcct it against any and all acts
that will bring reproach upon Its good name-
Do you propose to surrender what you
fought for and what your comrades who
sleep In heroic graves died for? As tlie stars
are fixed In the skies, so your patriotism Is
fixed and immovable to preserve the mem
ories aud fiults of that great struggle. If
this grand army of loyal citizens serves
no other purpose It will keep fresh In the
hearts of the rising generation thatloveof
country, that devotion to the Unton, Hist
reverence for the star* and stripes, the con
stitution and the laws, which in the future as
in the past must be the anchors which hold
us firmly to n solid, permanent and national
existence.
With these words of admonition 1 hav e
sufficient confidence In your honor and fldel*
ity to the principles of the order to feel that
there will ha no further demonstration or
parade where the emblem of "treason” is
carried or displayed. Let the cause which
triumphed In the war be mnlntlaued In the
completeness of Its victory and fulness of its
significance.
John Palmer, Commit-idur-ln-Chlef.
Frederick Piiihtkkkk, Adjut.-tien.
The howl has ever since the civil wi
arisen and swelled in the North and West
nobly sacrificed home, ambition and life
to the cause which they deemed just
and good. It is a shroud about the
memory of countless heroes, and ever
let the Southerner hold it sadly sacred.
Ulysses S. Grant during his life-time
j bent ali of his energies towards the heal
ing oi the existing sectional prejudice
and knew how to honor a fallen foe,
which Mr I'altner might do if he had
ever faced fire coming from under the
folds of this “emblem of treason”
which he now insults.
tuk SPEAKERSHIP.
Congress will meet on tlie first Mon
day in December, just three weeks from
next Monday. The contest for the
Speakership may be considered about
open and its importance will absorb
other questions until it is finally deter
mined by the Democratic caucus. The
candidates will open their headquarters
in Washington next week and the caL-
vass will from then on be active and ag
gressive. It is stated that a large num
ber of the members will go to the Cap
itol uupledged and upon their decision
depends the final contest.
The struggle is mainly between Mills
and Crisp, with the chances apparently
in favor of the Georgian. McMillan of
Tennessee is next in importance and it
is thought he draws his strength mainly
from Mills, and as he is a strong friend
of the Texan, he may not go in at all.
Messrs. Springer, n itch and Bynum are
also in the race.
The Mills men are claiming everything,
while the Crisp followers are very confi
dent. The San Antonio Texas Express,
which has all along insisted
that the Speaker of the House of
Representatives of the Fifty-second
Congress woald be a dark horse
and a northern not a southern man,
stated in a recent edition that the esti
mate of the friends of Mr. Mills is that
he will get eighty-eight votes on the first
ballot in the caucus. If this were true,
it would mean that the Texan had a
sure thing. The number necessary to
nominate will be 118. If Mr. Mills oau
begin the battle with eighty-eight he
will not have to wait long for the other
thirty. The probabilities, however, are
very strongly against the correctness of
the calculation The eighty-eight in
cludes ten votes from Pennsylvania, the
same number from New York, a dozen
more from New England and all the rep
resentatives from New Jersey.
Their claims are not thought to be
well-founded, because it is positively
asserted tliat only three of the New York
delegation will vote for Mills.
For the Clcikship, General Clark of
Missouri and cx-Represeutatives Kerr
and Maish of Pennsylvania and Gibson
of Maryland are the candidates, but ex

OUR CROPS ANI) RUSSIA’S FAMINE.
CONSIDER A RLE SMOKE.
The report of Commissioner Rusk j The Philadelphia Telegraph in a re-
shows that the agricultural interests of cent issue prints a long dissertation on
this country are in a very satisfactory the attitude of Congressman Mills in re
condition. If we compare this repott gard to the silver question in the next
with the famine despatches daily re- Presidential campaign. The article is
published as a Washington special and
charges Mr. Mills with making a deal
with the anti-silver politicians of the
that the South is keeping alive the spirit
of sectional hatreJ, and training its ris
ing generation to look with loathing and
abhorrence upon the conquerors of the
Confederacy, and yet, since the day of
Lee’s surrender there lias never emana
ted from the press or the people south
of the Mason and Dixon line words in
which have been embodied the spleen of
sectional bitterness that is contained in
this order to the G. A. R.
After twenty-seven years of peace and
harmony between the now united por
tions of a once divided people, this wor
thy disciple of Col. Elliott Sheppard is
sues an order to his subordinates in
which he reviles a tattered and defeated
llag, displayed only as the true type of
grief and woe, as an “emblem of trea
son, which is an evidence to you that
there still lurks in the hearts of a few a
desire by the display of that fiag, to fire
the hearts of the young generation of
the South to rebellion.” Could narrow
minded animosity go further than this?
Could any w ords upon the part of con
federate veterans go so far towards
maintaining in the youthful heart a
feeling of bitterness as this insulting
language towards the drooping, bullet-
riddled banner under which their fathers
THE SIZE OF COTTON BALES.
The Now’ Orleans Times-Pemocrat lias
been discussing this question and thinks
that we have finally reached the maxi
mum of the cotton bale in size and
weight. As has been noted the size has
been steadily growing for years, for the
simple reason that the railroads aud
steamboats generally’ carry a bale for tlie
same price, regardless of its weight, and
this has been the main cause of increas
lug the bale to 300 pounds. “Com
mencing with 400 pounds, the halo lias
steadily increased in weight until now’ it
has [for years past averaged 300. Tlie
increase has been steady up to the pres
ent time, but so far this year we have
dropped behind the previous one, our
bales averaging only 511.30 pounds, as
against 513 20, a loss of nearly two
pounds. Louisiana shows tlie heaviest
decline, 7.25 pounds per bale; Alabama,
0; Georgia 5.85, and Tennessee 5, and
other States making a slight increase.
Whether this falling off in weight is
merely temporary, or pertnaueut, it is
difficult to say with certainty. The
chances are, however, that bales will not
grow much larger. The railroads are
beginning to complain of them, and the
spinners in Europe have always opposed
them as being difficult to handle, and
therefore liable to suffer in the long
journey they have to take from the plan
tation to the mill, and mill owners have
frequently recommended the adoption of
a smaller package of say 300 pounds
It is not probable that there will bo any
such extreme change as this, but that
the bale will remain somewhere iu tlie
neighborhood of 500 pounds is highly
probable.”
FROM LIFE TO DEATH.
A characteristic American suicide
that of George R. Lawrence, Pittsburg’s
handsome young lawyer, who, hazing
spent the evening reading a novel, smok-
iug cigarettes and chatting with the
hotel clerk, went calmly up to his room
and sent a .32 calibre bullet crashing
into bis brain.
There was no despondency, no fuss,
no explanation—only some stained bed
linen and a corpse. Mr. Lawrence had
reasons of his own for goiug out of this
world and lie went with that same un
ruffled demeanor and that same business
like precision so common among Amer
ican gentlemen and so uncommon else-
w’here.
Ho had friends ant) a father anti a
wife, but they could not help him, so
why bother them with his troubles.
Some one would pay his hotel bill; some
one would see to bis burial—so blow out
the cigarette and bang! held with a
steady hand tho revolver has done Its
work!
ccived from Eastern Europe we find our
selves face to face with a contrast which
is at once startling and pathetic.
The Commissioner very properly con
gratulates die country <»u tlie alluring
prospect which the American farmers
enjoy. Perhaps his estimate of in
creased crop values may need verifica
tion, siuce I’e declares that the agricul
tural products in lsfil are worth in the
market about seven hundred millions
over and above lie same products iu
ISffO, but it is evident that the farmer
has good reason for jubilation.
The torn and wheat crops of the west
have been as abundant as could be de
sired. Our four million fanner
or less, richly deserve their good for
tune. They have had singularly bad
luck for some time past. What with
drenching rains and parching droughts,
diversified with cyclones and numerous
forms of cattle disease, they have had
reason for complaint. But it’s a long lane
that has no turning, and they have
at last had a splendid year. Their
fields have smiled with plenty snd na
ture has rewarded them for the long
period of tribulation. They will now be
able to pay off the mortgages which
have handicapped them, and to buy new
stock and to patch up the broken fences
and leaky barns and perhaps lay aside a
penny also for rainy weather. Prosperi
ty has beamed on them, and they have a
right to indulge in high gloe.
The Commissioner tells us that his de
partment has been measurably success
ful in introducing Indian corn and its
products among Europeans. Heretofore
the poorer classes on the other side have
depended mainly on wheat for their ta
bles. Wheat made into various kinds of
food has been the staple of the peasant
ry. It is the Russian wheat crop which
failed and caused the famine from which
both tho Muscovite and the German have
suffered. If they can bo brought to rel
ish corn meal a part at least of the dan
ger from hunger will be averted in the
future. A double crop, wheat and corn,
is not likely to fail at the same time,
At any rate there will always be an abun
dant supply of one or the other on our
side of the water.
In contrast with this abundance is the
picture of unalloyed and desperate dan
ger iu tho East—a calamity of such vast
proportions that tho Czar abandons a
proposed festival iu St. Petersburg.
Sven the court becomes grave and tho
rich are contributing to furnish starva
tion with a crust of broad. If only half
of what is told is true the spectacle is
pitiable, and if the whole of it is true
the condition of tnese hungry folk is
simply heartrending. Starving men we
are told, have formed themselves into
bands and are raiding any section which
promises plunder. Where there is no
bread, the people are always in a state
of anarchy. Law aud order are despised,
and brain, heart and conscience give
way before the demands of the stomach
Little holdings are taken for debt and
numberless families are thrown on the
highway. There is one story, just re
celved, of a wretched woman who ap
plied for help to a well to do neighbor,
and when refused she deliberately killed
her three children and then completed
the tragedy by hanging herself.
These are the two pictures which
appeal to our imagination—it is heaven
here and hell there. Western corn ami
wheat, however, are on their way to our
seaboard in enormous quantities. Our
surplus is quite enough to supply the
European market.—New’ York Herald
East, and with working for the fruition
of that outlined programme during bis
Ohio campaign. The Telegraph’s Wash
ington correspondent gives full details
as to the arrangement entered into by Mr.
Mills and his supporters in this scheme,
and a general observation of events will
go far towards verifying the charges
made against tiie Texas representative.
• Yet it seems that he might have chosen
a more fitting time during which to can
vass for his aspirations to the Speaker-
ship of the next House than that of
great national election, (for the last was
surely of such significance) and have
omitted to conclude his deals with the
two factions of his own party until he
had done his best for the general interest
of Democracy in the recent struggle.
Chas. F. Crisp, the star repsesentative
of the South, laid aside all personal am
bitlon for the ti ne being, and in the
midst of grievous domestic grief,
through the illness of a son, bent his
best energies to the victory of his party
in a more than doubtful State. And
should Judge Crisp not be elected
speaker at the next assembling of the
House, it will not be for the reason that
he is not thereto entitled, but because
he disdained to use the common elec
tioneering schemes usual to ward politi
cians.
Mr. Mills may be innocent of the
charge made against him, but it has
been truly said that “where there is
much smoke there will bo found some
fire.”

AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.
Tlie Southern Cotton Manufacturers’ Da)
Nov. 20th and 21st, will attract mill men from
all over the South. The Manufacturers' As
Hociation of Augusta have charge of the con
veotion. Three hundred Invitations havi
been Issued. Pr-parations have beeu made
to banquet the delegates.
This will be one of the most notable bodies
that has ever met In the South. Our great
interest Is the manufacture of e dton, and
the field lor investment and development in
this Industry In the South Is practically
without limit.—Augusta Chronicle.
This feature of tho Augusta exposi
tion is one tho importance of which can
not be overestimated. Augusta herself
owes her commercial influence of to-day
solely to her manufacturing enterprises,
and while her canal system has contri
buted in a degree to the profits accruing
from these enterprises, her water power,
in itself had little or nothing to do with
their inauguration, and even had not
this advantage existed the city could
easily, and probably w’ould, have still
gained the prestige she has already ac
quired as a factoring center.
The importance of manufactories, of
whatever size, should be recognized by
every city, and money so invested, while
not in every case paying cent, per cent,
will almost without exception prove a
sure aud fair return on otherwise unem
ployed capital.
Tiie Timkh-Re< oiuiki: lias more than
once endeavored to impress upon its
readers the vital necessity for more man
ufacturing establishments in Americus,
and statistics will show that, of tlie
towns of the South which aro now upon
a substantial basis of progress and
growth there are few which do not owe
their prosperity to their manufacturing
interests.
SACRILEGE AND PROFANATION.
On Sunday morning Rev. (°) Sain
Jones held forth at Trinity church in
Atlanta, and the Constitution sees fit to
devote to his discourse about two-thirds
of a column of its valuable space. Much
recognition is immeasurably more than
this pantomimic orator deserves, and the
Constitution is doing him an undeserved
honor in publishing any portion, how
ever small, of his unbearable and filthy
discourse.
There are many fanatics who will and
do contend that the only way to touch a
lepraved mind is through depravity in
exhortation; and yet this warped theory
has never yet held good in any perma
nent degree. Those of excitable and
nervous temperaments aro easily acted
upon and evil influences will always bo
found to exercise as much (or more)
sway as thoso emanating from morality
and goneral integrity.
That Mr. Jones possesses the kindred
attribute to godliness (cleanliness) even
his most staunch supporters cannot
maintain; and The Timkh-Rkcordku
cannot, by any stretch of fancy, believe
that abiding good can come from such
methods as he sees fit to use
In all tho good for humanity that Mr.
Jones can accomplish everybody wishes
him “God-speed;” but it in not believed
that the interests of Chiistiauity rcqui.e
that evil be done that good may come.

Chronicle and Tom Murphy of the Even

gratulated upon securing such editorial

THE CONFEDERATE FLAG.
Commenting upon the recent circular
Issued by Mr. John Palmer, commander-
in-chief of the G. A. K , the Wilming
ton (N. C.) Messenger says:
There is not a magnanimous, noble soul In
all the Northern band of veteruus who would
deny to the South whatever of comfort snd
satisfaction It can draw *rom the emblems
of a great and splendid war that so Illus
trated the arms of t‘U vast country, and
taught the world how great were the peop e
on these shores.
Several issues since The Timks-Rk-
eoiiDKit published a similar comment
upon tho action of the Grand Army
chiefs stand upon the Atlanta demon
stration, and a glance at the press of the
country during tho interval elapsing be
tween tho publication of Gen. Palmer’s
circular and the present time will con
vince tho reader that all fair-minded and
conservative people throughout the
United States, condemn, and in unmeas
ured terms, the bitter and sectional at
tack of Palmer upon a defeated banner.
Sectional strife is kept alive solely
through these bitter onslaughts, ema
nating from both sides, and through just
such soreheads as Gen. Palmer and Col.
Elliott F. Sheppard, and an investiga
tion will prove that these agitators took
little or no part in the recent strife. A
brave warrior holds for no one a greater
respect than for a fallen and courageous
foe.
