and only awaited the meeting of the
Minneapolis convention for final confir
mation. One of two reasons undoubt
edly actuated his decision. Either he
saw in the unmistakable signs of a del di

vitality for another conflict or in the in
terest of the industrial classes his tele
scopic vision detected an unequal strug

fieM to himself for the time. It remains 1
to be seen whether or not the enthusias
tic supporters of Blaine will go to his
standard or become divided in supjiort
of other candhlates. Alger, Reed, Lin
coln ami McKinley are remote |s*ssi-
bilities, but the chances are now that
Harrison will have a clean sweep, in
which case he will command the full
strength of his party ami no more.
In the Democratic camp* the situation
is more complex. Cleveland has the
personal endorsement of the masses of
the Democratic voters. He is a clean
man with a record for firmness and hon
esty unsurpassed, and yet it is the cur
rent belief that he will lx* unable to
carry his own State, ami his new*, not

Went and South. Thus if nominated,
his election would lx* involved in doubt.
Hill, Cleveland’s most formidable antag
onist, has for yean* been grooming for
the race. His success in carryiug N
York State has won consideration for [
him elsewhere, and his notable speech in
advocacy of free silver lia* gained for
him supporters iu the silver West and
the South. Even among those who
have no respect for his methods, we find
a strong under current of belief that Hill
can be nominated and elected. He is in
fall control of the machine, which he is
cleverly directing with his own hand*,
while Cleveland stands aloof apparently
the most unconcerned of all the political
chiefs. Should Cleveland withdraw. Hill
would occupy the same relative podtion
to the Democracy that Harrison now
does to (he Republicans, but their Moses

pronounced opposition to Hill would
turn to Boise, Palmer, Gorman
Cleveland, however, docs not speak, and
his silence means to his followers acqui
escence, and thus it appears just now
that the struggle, in the Chicago conven

and counterpart posibilities.

Washington, Feb. 15,1892.—Speak
er Crisp is thoroughly in accord with the
d»ire to make a calm, conservative and
bosineat-like investigation of the pension
office ami its methods of doing business,
and in selecting the committee author
ized by the House resolution he made
good u*e of bis knowledge of the mem
bers of the House ami named men who
will sit with the *anie impartiality on
the evidence presented to them and as
carefully sift it, in order to throw out
that which in their judgment i* based on
hatred or ja-rsonal prejudice, as they
would if sitting as judges in a court of
« . The Democrats on the committee
e Representatives Wheeler, of Michi
gan, Little of New York, ami Dungun,
of Ohio; the Republicans, Messrs. Lind,
of Minnesota ami Brosius, of Pennsyl
vania, all ex-Union soldiers.
Representative Hoar, of Massachu
setts, i* confident that tlu* adoption of
his resolution hv the House authorizing
the committee on manufactures to inves
tigate the socalled “sweating" system
of tenement house labor, is a long step
in the right direction, and lie predicts
that the result of the investigation will
he some startling facts of special interest
to those who wear "ready made” cloth
ing. Before the House adopted the res
olution it adopted an amendment direct
ing the committee to inquire how much
increase the McKinley hill has caused
in the wages *»F workmen employed in
industries protected by the terms of that
bill. It also afterwards -adopted a reso
lution offered l»v Mr. Holman, restrict
ing the. cost of the investigation to
$3,000.
Speaker Crisp has given some of the
Democratic ineinla*rs who have been
careless as to their attendance on the ses
sions of the House a little lecture on
their duties, taking his text from the
lack of a .quorum of Democrats on the
floor, which the other day enabled the
Republicans to compel an adjournment.
A second lecture on this subject should
not lx* necessary.
The Senate committee on agriculture
will report a resolution providin'
the apiMtintmeiit of a number of sul>-
committees to make an investigation,
committee to each branch oi the subject,
for the purpose of ascertaining the pres
ent condition of agriculture in the Uni
ted .States, the prices of its products, and
if there be any of which the prices
depressed, the cause of such depression
ami the remedy therefor. This resolu
tion will be reported as a substitute tor
Senator George’s resolution for an inves
tigation of the depression in the cotton-
raising States.
Representative Wheeler, of Alabama, j
has sent a cold shiver down the spinal |
columns of all the big office holders by i
introducing a resolution instructing the
several committees in charge of appro
priation hills to make reductions of 20
per cent, in all official salaries of §5,000
or more—that would catch Senators and
Representatives—and of 1ft per cent, in
all salaries of $8,000 or more.
An attempt is being made to get the
ivs and means committee of the House
to grapple with the cigarette evil by re
porting a bill placing *an internal reve
nue tax of $10 per 1,000 on all cigar
ettes offered for sale, whether of domes
tic or foreign manufacture. A memorial
showing that tin* excessive use of cigar
ettes has, during the year, killed 100
young men, and sent an equal numl»er
to the insane asylums is being circulated
in Congress.
The manner in which the annual ap
propriation bill tor the military academy
was reduced by the House, sitting a* a
committee of the whole, before it was
passed, in spite of the |*owerful influences
brought to l*ear in favor of |>a-siug it as
reported from the committee on military
affairs, ha* convinced a good many
people who had doubts on the subject
that when the Democratic leaders said
economy in public expenditures would
la*, enforced by the House, they indulged
in no idle talk. Republicans may sneer,
but when the people’s verdict is heard
next November the Democrats will get
their reward.
The bliud free coinage bill, now on
the House calendar, is the subject of
much talk in and out of Congress. It is
favored on principle by a very large ma
jority of the House, but whether a ma
jority of the Democrats believe it polit
ical wisdom to pas* it at this time will
very soon be known, as a petition asking
the committee *»n rules to set a date for
its consideration by the House is now
Wing circulated for Democratic signa
tures. More than a hundred have

< >nly a few days since an earnest Imiking man stepped in our shop and takiu
writer aside, began in a confidential way : "Mr. English, I am needing a few
il* ami have in* money. I always pay my hills ami want to buy these g*»ods of
on a few days time.” I answered him in this way : "Sir, I know you to W a
ami upright man, ami have^the utmost confidence iti your honesty, hut we
e an iron rule which we cannot break. We are here to sell you cheap for cash
to prevent you from paving credit prices." "That is enough," said he, "Show
the good-. I was only joking. I well knew you were a spot caali man, uml
> is just why 1 have come to you t*» laiy my g*KN|s. I am no longer a credit
victim. I have been thoroughly scorched by the (ire of credit. 1 have lx*en living
in Waycross for sometime, and find that 1 get better gmals from you ami buy
them 5ft per cent, cheaper than I can get the same goods elsewhere."
The abov*' i'• tin* testimony of a goml sensible man ami citizen, who is one
among tin- man;, that have felt the sting of credit and decided to abandon its
merciless system of robliery at once ami forever. How is it with you, my friend ?
Are you an heir to a fortune? Are you wealthy in the |M*ssi*s.sion of real estate
and have ail inexhaustible How of cash at your command? If so it is needless for
in** to talk to von, for you are certain to seek the. place where you can get the Ik*sI
goods for the least money, uml in ease you find it We will Ik* sure to see you. But
there i* another class of |K-oplc that we are more than anxious to reach. The
commonwealth; tin* man of muscle, the homeless class. We are her** to do you
g*sxl ami always have and always will fight the old rotten credit system with its
1 Oh per cent, taritl' fin our |M>pularity ami your protection. Get from under the
awful shadow of the ledger, (let out of the old credit rut and upon the steel rails
of Cash. Don’t spend your money with merchants who sell on time. If you do
you will pay credit prices just the same.
Forsake credit with its days of mental torture ami nights of awful agony, and
you will pm the hot bloood boiling with that intense enthusiasm ami ambition
that always inspires ami cheers a successful ami prosperous man.
IVrmit not these life lessons to pass by unheeded ; if you do, you are not abreast

The commissioner* of Suwannee coun
ty, Fla., have passed an order to have
all dog* running at large killed during
the next sixty days. The people are
much alarmed over the death by hydro
phobia of Mr. Henry Cannon's little son,
who wa* bitten by a mad dog in Live
Oak, and the continued communication
of the rabes to stock and other dogs.
Fifty acres planted in pecan trots will
in fifteen years be as g.**l as f.*^,t»ft0

can see to be a fact if he will stop t«»

in much good if properly managed, but
we must not kwe sight of the fact jhat
we need a change in the financial policy
of our government worse than any new
