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. “H.
