tion.
CHARLES FREDERICK CRISP.
No eveut in tbe history of Americus is
of so much significance a* the election
of Judge Crisp to the speakership of the
House of Representatives of the Fifty-
Second Congress.
With his elevation to the most conspi
cuous position in tlie government short
of the Presidency, comes a world-wide
celebrity for this distinguished citizen
of Americus, in which this city cannot
but share to a great extent, and his
triumph is also that of his fjieuds and
neighbors. For twenty-four years a
citizen of Americus he is thoroughly
identified with her people, and as his
record shows, they have ever delighted
to honor him.
Charles Frederick Crisp was horn on
the 20th of January, 1840, in Sheffield,
England, where his pareuts had gone on
a visit; was brought by them to this
country the year of his birth; received a
common school education ill Savannah
and Macon, Ga.; entered the Confeder
ate army in May, 18(11; was a lieutenant
in Company K, Tenth Virginia Infantry,
and served with that regiment until the
12tli of May, 18(14, when lie became a
prisoner of war upon his release from
For'.Delaware in June, 1803, he joined
his parents at Ellaville, Schley county,
(leoigia; read law in Americus, and was
admitted to the bar there in 180(1; began
the practice of law in Kliaville, Ga.,
where lie married Miss Clara Iloilo llur
ton in 1807; In 1872 was appointed Solic
itor-General of the Southwestern Judi
cial Circuit, and was reappointed in 1870
fora term of four years; in June, 1877,
was appointed Judge of the Superior
Court of tbe same circuit; in 1878 was
elected by tbe (ionoral Assembly to tlie
same office: in 1880 was re-ulected Judge
for a term of four years; resigned that
office in September, 1882, to accept the
Democratic nomination for Congress;
was permanent President of the Demo
cratic Convention which assembled in
Atlanta in April, 18ti:t, to nominate a
candidate for Governor; was elected to
the Forty-eighth Congress, and was re
elected to tlie Forty-ninth Congress as a
Democrat, receiving 0,00!’, votes against
4,280 votes for B. F. Bell, Republican,
and 03 votes for Reese, Independent Re
publican,re-elected without opposition to
the Fiftieth, Fifty-first and Fifty-second
Congresses, lie lias surely risen to the
front rank of American statesmen; and
to-day at noou he assumes the gavel of
the Speakership, the highest and most
honorable position in tlie gift of his col
leagues.
. Here he begins to enter a higher plane
of Ids oareer, and from this time forward
Ids record will continue to brighten and
expand, until he is called by the grate
ful people of Georgia to occupy the
higher station of a Senator In tlie other
wing of tlie capitol.
Special Immigration Commissioner
Schulteis recently disguised himself and
made the trip from Liverpool to Now
York as a steerage passenger on the Ser
via, und lie makes a report which de
mands sorious attention. He was him
self, iu his capacity of steorago passen
ger, an assisted emigrant, a certain so-
called philanthropic society in London
assisting" him in the purchase of ills
cheap ticket. He saw hundreds of pau
pers also supplied with their tickets by
these philanthropic foreign societies.
Still further, he brings charges against
tlie steamship companies concerning the
inhuman and outrageous treatment of
these passengers, whieh ought to be in
vestigated. It may be charged that his
report is a sensational one, but Mr.
Schulteis is not to blame for immigra
tion abuses aud violations of tlie law
that are sensational in character. His
charges are direct and explicit, and they
should be rigidly investigated.
THE CNION RESTORED
Since the first gun was fired at Fort
Sumter, no event of so great national
import has taken place as the election
to the Speaker's chair of tbe House of
Representatives of the United States
of a citizen of Georgia, tlie State of Ben
Hill, Stevens and Toombs, tbe master
spirits of tlie Southern Confederacy
Tlie war which began iu April, 1861,
was ended December 7th, 1801, when
Charles F. Crisp, a soldier of the late
Confederacy, was chosen Speaker.
Inch by inch have Southern States
men fought hack the tide of sectional
hate, which permitted no diminution in
its venom, even though Lee and Grant
shook hands over the bloody chasm more
than twenty-six years ago. By forbearance
by wisdom, by moderation, Southern
statesmen have demonstrated their sin
cerity, no less than their wisdom; and at
lust the final death and burial of section
alism is accomplished. At last the re
united sisterhood of states admits by its
action tlie forceful truth of lieu Hill’s
eloquent words in tlie halls where Crisp
now presides: “ThaDk God, we are in
our father's house, ana we have conic to
stay."
In the person of Charles F. Crisp, sit
ting to-day where no Southerner, save
Carlisle, a Union man, has sat for the
third part of a century, is found the
living proof that the war is at last over,
and tlie Uuion restored.
While Southerners and Georgians, and
tlie friends and neighbors of Judge
Crisp in Americus rejoice with exceed
ing groat joy at tlie good fortune that
lias come to him and to them, let tiiem
not in this hour of happiness forget that
a far greater cause of triumph exists
than is to lie found in the elevation of
any one mai to any position, however
exalted It is that the seventh day of
December, 18111, marks tlie red-letter
day in tlie calendar when tlie North and
the South, tlie East and the West, joined
hands in fraternal greeting, and laid
forever to rest t he corpse of sectional
hate.
Tlie Now Orleans States very sensibly
says: “Texas has sent word to Con
gressman Mills chat if their presence
will be of any assistance to him in the
contest for tlie Speakership, she will
send to Washington a delegation num
bering 100 of her stalwart sons. It is
not likely, however, that lie will need
the help of tils brother Texans. If the
majority of the Democratic members of
the House think that ho is best fitted to
lead them, they will elect him Speaker
without auy outside pressure. Delega
tions coming to Washington ill the in
terest of a candidate are likely to do
more harm (ban good.”
The Executive Committee of the
Kings county (Brooklyn) liepublicans
have demanded that President Harrison
remove Secretary of the Navy Tracy, be
cause they say he does not “represent”
tlie liepublicans of that county. They
claim that President Ilarrisou will com
ply with their demands rather than lose
their support in caso he should be a can
didate for re-election.
The Times-Kecohiieh regrets to see
that so great a man as Roger (). Mills has
proven himself to he could not rise
abeve the chagrin of defeat and accept
the result gracefully. His reply to the
reporters|“I have nothing to say to the
press," docs not indicate that serenity
of spirit that would have characterized
Crisp uuder similar circumstances.
The rabbit's foot that Amos, the
prophet, carried back to New York with
him last June proved a true mascotte
for Crisp, aud demonstrated beyond
cavil tlie efficacies of that talisman as a
true inspiration of prophetic power.
Gi.on Y enough for Georgia for one day,
and for Americus in particular, which is
now the biggest city of its size in the
world, and has Site biggest citizen.
The New York Sun is posing as a
comic paper in competition witli Puck
and Judge. After Editor Dana has
soothed Ills rancorous feelings towards
ex-president Cleveland by a liberal out
pouring of tlie vials of his wrath upon
Grover’s bald pate, lie drops into comedy
and gives a humorous editorial of a col
limn length upon the uame and fame of
Statesman Abe Slupsky, an artist of won
derful parts whom Editor Dana has un
earthed out in the wild and wooiy west.
As an iron-leal writer the versatile edi
tor of the Sun (that shines for ail except
Hayes and Grover) is second only to
Carnegie, who lias made a fortune by
Iron-y.
John Ryan, Steve Ryan's father, lias
been ill business in Atlanta for nearly
fifty years and has amassed a large for
tune in that city. In husine-x it is
claimed for him that he has always paid
dollar for dollar and built up his fortune
simply by hard and conscientious work
and fortunate investments in real estate.
The old gentleman is deeply affected by
ills son's predicament, but does not soe
how ho can rescuo him without ruining
himself and impoverishing his family, as
tlie payment of the $121,000 necessary to
obtain his present release, he thought,
would bo but a prelude to the payment
of much larger sums owed by his son.
• The true AUinnccmen, Livingston,
Moses and Everett, cast four Alliance
votes in the Democratic caucus for
Crisp, worked four eloquent |tongues in
his behalf inside aud outside that body;
won supporters to ills cause from their
Western brethren, and cast four solid
Alliance votes against Big Tommie Reed
and Little Tommie Watson in tlie elec
tion yesterday. A hundred more such
Alliance Democrats as these would not
lie out of place in Congress.
NOT A NEW PL IN.
The Alliance land-loan scheme is not
of recent origin. It has been practiced
before ami is now being agitated in Eng
land. Wliat England is doing to enable
Irish tenant farmers to purchase their
holdings by lending them tbe necessary
funds from the national treasury, at a
low rate of interest, on the security of
the land, was done by Prussia as long
ago as 1830, with excellent results. The
State established numerous land banks,
which advanced to tlie peasants tlie sums
necessary for the purchase of tlie old
landlord rights which were in eacli case
commuted for a definite sum. The ad
vance thus made constituted a first
charge ou tlie land, and was represented
by debenture bonds for small amounts.
The owner of tlie land had tlie right to
pay to their credit at whatever time and in
whatc .-er sums he was able, installments
towards their redemption, but was
bourn) to redeem them all fully inside of
fifty years.
Within a generation similar reforms
have been carried out iu other German
States, and by their means large estates
in extensive sections of tlie country have
been transferred from reckless nobles
who wrung from them the means of
proiligate extravagance by oppressing
tlie wretched tenantry, to thrifty pea
sant proprietors who draw from their
small holdings tlie means of virtuous
comfort by the cheerful labor of their
own hands. Between national loans of
tills kind and those sought by Senator
Stanford's land-loan scheme is tlie radi
cal difference that in the former case the
total loan was moderate in amount and
mado for the purchase of lan.1 which re
mained as security for the advance:
while in tlie latter tlie money to be lent
would bo almost illimitable in amount
and could be used for any purpose for
which tlie borrower might choose to
employ it.—National Economist.
THE 8TRONUKST AND PL REST.
Daviii 11. Hill, the Gubernatorial
Senator, or tlie Senatorial Governor of
New York, as tlie case may be, lias
siiown his skillful band as a political
power in belping bis friends; and Judge
Crisp lias much to thank Hill for ill tbe
support lie gave, counteracting as it did
tlie efforts of such men as Carlisle, Dick-
insou, Vilas and other leading Mills
men.
EiiItoh Gantt lias retired from active
management and editorship of iho
Southern Alliance Farmer until lie can
recover bis broken health. He will,
however, continue to write editorials for
tlie paper from his farm in Oconee
county.
We are very sorry to chronicle tlie
doath of one of our subscribers. He
promised to pay last Saturday if lie
lived, but lie didn't live. Our loss is
ids gain and we mourn as those without
hope.—Cummlng Clarion.
The editor of The Times-Kecoriier
lias always been strong in tlie Crisp
faith, as everybody can testify. He can
now say "I told you so,” because be db'.
Tlie Oltlclal Report of iho Minnesota Dairy
anil Food Commissioner Shows the Royal
Halting Powder the Best In the State.
The last report of tlie Minnesota State
Food and Dairy Commission contains
the details of tlie state chemists' experi
ments and analysis to determine tlie
strength and keeping qualities of the
various baking powders. Samples of
the numerous brandB on sale in this
state were purchased and first analyzed
to ascertain their leavening power. Tlie
Royal Baking Powder is siiown by the
tests of both state analysts, I’rof. Eber-
man and Prof. Drew, to contain the
greatest amount of leavening gas of the
cream of tartar powders thus purchased
and tested. Hence this powder is offi
cially ranked at the head of tlie list.
The report attaches great importance
to a series of experiments made to as
certain the character, efficiency and
keeping qualities of the powders. Bak
ing powders that vary in strength or that
readily lose strength before use are un
reliable and will not give even results;
besides, it is au indication of tlie use in
their compounding of improper ingredi-
icuts. These tests woro applied to a
large number of samples of different
ages of tlie three cream of tartar pow
ders best known in Minnesota. They
showed the strength or leavening power
of the Royal very much greater than
that of the others. Tlie uniformity of
strength of all the samples cf Royal
tested was remarkable, its leavening
power was practically unimpaired even
in tlie oldest specimens. The difference
in tlie amount of leavening gas in differ
ent samples of both tlie other brands
was so great us to seriously impair tbeir
usefulness in baking. As much as 24
per cent, loss was found in tampios a
few months old. Ail the samples of
Royal examined by Dr. Drew were re
ported of satisfactory strength and
quality.
Tiiuee Alliance stores wore charter, d
near LaGrangc about twelve months
ago, and started out with n good capi
tal, backed by good men. Only ono of
them is left. They tried to run the
business with a profit of 10 per cent,,
hence their failure.
Royal Baking Powder
Has no Equal.
The Royal Baking Powder will make sweet«, lighter, finer-flavored
ind more wholesome bread, biscuit and cake than any other leavening
agent. It is of higher strength, and therefore goes further in work and
is more economical. AU government and scientific tests go to show
this. Royal Baking Powder as a L.. veiling agent is absolutely without
an equal.
Rush Medical College, Chicago.
"As the result of my tests I find the Royal
Baking Powder superior to all the others in every
respect. It is entirely free from all adulteration
and unwholesome impurity, and in baking it
gives off a greater volume of leavening gas than
any other powder. It is therefore not only the
purest but also the strongest powder with which
I am acquainted.
“ Walter S. Haines, M. D.," Prof, of Chemistry.
Chicago College of Pharmacy.
“The Royal Baking Powder, which tests the highest
in strength, is free from lime, alum, lime phosphates or
other adulterations. Its superlative purity, me entire
wholesomeness of its ingredients, the scientific manner
in which they are combined, together with its much
greater strength, make the Royal unquestionably supe
rior to any other baking powder.
