Georgia’s eleven Congressmen

Now that the democratic party has
been pretty well educated on the
tariff question Mr. Cleveland will
have to teach it finance.
The exodus from Colorado still

Judge J. H. Guerry, of Dawson,

was forced to it from the fact that
the salary was not what it ought to
have beeu, aud that he was losing
money every day.
Speaker Crisp says that he has no
sort of doubt as to the repeal of the
Sherman law. It is altogether prob
able that Mr. Cleveland felt the
same way when he wrote the mes
; sage calling Congress together.
The Southern baseball league is |

The farmers in five counties in

Journal.

A Tennessee college President has
committed suicide because on the day
set for their wedding his sweetheart
married another man. Philosophy

could deal him false before marriage
she might have been equally false
afterwards.
The five hundred negroes who have
been imported into Kansas to take
the place of the striking coal miners,
are liable to discover that they are
lambs led to the slaughter. They
have gone to a tough country and
they will be lucky to escape with whole
skins.
Secretary Hoke Smith is not for
getting the people back in Georgia
while administering to the affairs of
state in the capitol. He comes forward
now with the suggestion that, each
Georgia congressman select a messen
ger for the interior department.
Those selected must all be the sous
of farmers.
Atlanta Constitution: “With the
cholera in France, Spain and Italy,
and, in fact, at nearly every Medi
terranean port, our health authori
ties cannot be too vigilant. We ma}’
not be able to prevent its coming,
but we can stamp it out by keeping
our towns and cities reasonably
clean.”
The President’s message appeared
in six afternoon papers in Georgia
Wednesday, the Waycross Evening
Herald being one of the number.
The afternoon press continues about
eighteen laps in advance of the pro
cession. The people find out what
is going on in the world eighteen hours
earlier than if there were no after
noon papers.
The Constitution last Sunday pub
lished letters from 39 weekly editors
concerning the duty of Democratic
Congressmen during the extra ses
sion. Almost without exception
these editors say there should be
other silver legislation to replace the
Sherman law, and that the work of
reforming the tariff should be com
menced at once. Disaster to Democ
racy is predicted in case the plat
form pledges are not fulfilled.
Last week a stranger arrived in
Laurens, S. C., and soon began to
advertise that he wanted a drink.
Ostensibly he was peddling small
mechanical contrivances, but was
soon suspected of being a Tillman spy,
as he seemed painfully thirsty and ex
pressed contempt for a town where
a gentleman could not get a toddy.
Some of the boys came to his rescue.
His thirst was quenched but he has
been under a physician’s care ever
since. The toddy contained an over
dose of croton oil.
What They Think of It.
The following expressions from the
Georgia senators and congressmen shows
that they are not entirely in accord with
the President’s message, and yet we
doubt if any one of them has a specific
plan for the relief of the people. No
one doubts, however, that they will do
the best they can in the matter of sup
plying a speedy remedy for the much
needed relief for which the country is
clamering.
Senator Colquitt said the message was a
declaration in favor of a single gold stand
ard. and did not meet his approval.
Senator Gordon, we regret to say. had no
opinion to express at this time. If he was
quoted correctly a few days previous, how
ever. he is in line with Senator Colquitt.
Congressman Lester said that Mr. Cleve
land argued from false premises, in ascrib
ing the depression of the Sherman act, and
declared himself a bimetalist.
Congressman Russell is for free coin a;
and did not agree with the President.
Congressman Livingston did not think all
of the existing depression is due to the
Sherman act, and if the message meant
single gold standard thought the President
had made a mistake.
Congressman Cabiniss praises the style of
the message and its clearness, but is unde
cided whether it proposes the proper rem
edy.
Congressman Turner would have l>een
glad if the message had been fuller in one or
two other directions.
Congressman Maddox was disappointed.
Congressman Moses said that the simple
repeal of the Sherman act was not enough;
that the platform demand for free coinage
must l>e carried out.
Congressman Tate thought it a strong
message. He thought that the Sherman act
should be repealed, and free coinage, at an
increased ratio, substituted.
Congressman Black regretted that the
message went no further than the repeal of
the Sherman act.
Congressman Lawson thought the mes
sage clear and forcible, but a disappoint
ment in failing to outline some measure of
relief in addition to the repeal of the Sher-
AM0NG THE ORACLES.
Mr. Turner in Congress.
The Washington correspondent of
the Atlanta Journal thus talks about
Mr. Turner’s probable position on
the new committees of the house:
“Judge Henry G. Turner, were it
not for the fact that he hails from
the same State as the Speaker, would
be the logical leader on the commit
tee on Ways and Means—the most
important committee in the house by
all odds.
He is uow third on that committee,
ranking Win. L. Wilson, of West
Virginia, the very probable chairman
of the committee.
It is more than likely that Spring
er will be deposed. This leaves only
Benton McMillin, of Tennessee, be
tween Judge Turner and the chair
manship. McMillin, it is said, is
debarred as long as Crisp is Speaker,
for it is understood that he does not
think the Tennessean would, as a
leader, come up to the requirements.
Judge Turner, on the contrary, is as
well equipped in knowledge of public
questions and personal equipoise, as
any man in Congress, and would
make a most admirable leader for the
Democratic side of the House. But
as he comes from the same State as
the Speaker, he too, will be passed
by, and Wilson, of West Virginia,
the fourth man on the committee,
will be elevated.
It is believed that Judge Turner
will be retained in his present place
on the committee on Ways and
Means and given the chairmanship
of another committee besides.”

Mr. A. J. Carswell, treasurer of
Clinch county and a worthy citizen,

The panicky condition of things
which prevailed Saturday afternoon,
was considerably quited Sunday and
yesterday. Very few Brunswick-

The Brunswick papers say that the
city is in fine sanitary condition, and
that yellow fever could not become

Thoughtful men will not lose
sight of the fact that the democrats
will be responsible fpr all national
legislation for the next two years at
least.—Thomasville Times.
The democratic party however, i9

which now exists.
It is queer but true, that every lit
tle fourth rate politician and one-
horse newspaper are giving their views
on the silver question, when the ques

headed financier on record, much less
these little simlin-headed yap9.—
Bainbridge Democrat.
The Macou Telegraph says : The
farmers of wiregrass Georgia or the
extreme southwestern portion of the
State, have made their crop this year
at very little cost, and the conse
quence is they are less in debt aud
owe less now than they have ou auy
crop made in the last five years.
The presses of the Waycross

This however, doesn’t apply to the
Herald’s editor.”—Quitman Free
Press.
The above bright paragraph from
the pen of editor Groover completely
knocks the wind out of a prevailing
belief that the Free Press was being
run without brains.
The Atlanta Herald believes in
condensing matters as much as pos
sible. Reporting a recent sensatiou-
al news item, the Herald says : “Dug
Hasleton, a butlv negro, attempted
an assault ou a farmer's wife, near
Carrolton. Results as usual. Notice

All that ado about Tiger Tail’s
visit to the Governor is a canard and
the cause of the trouble was that
seven Indians got drunk on the 4th
of July, and fire from their camp in
Brevard county spread and burned
over two acres of land owned by John
Henson, destroying a guava grove.
Henson naturally was highly incensed
and he inquired of the Indians who
had set the fire. A young brave
named Wild Cat, the son of Little
Tiger, the Seminole chief, admitted
that he was the guilty party. Wild
Cat is not a lad as has been stated,
but a full grown man, weighing not
less than 175 pounds. Henson, upon
