A GOOD PLATFORM.
Major Bacon hasintroduced in the leg
islature a series !of resolutions declaring
for gold and silver as money for final
payment, and that there should be no
limit to the cinage of eitherless than
the products of the mines of this coun
try; declaring for state banks, custom
duties for revenue only, and an income
ta;:.
This is generally regarded as the Ma
jor's platform in his race for the senate.
1t is a good one, too, and would be hard
to improve upon.
STILL UNSETTLED.
Hawaii still remains quiet, and there
is nothing in the latest reports from
there to indicate that an uprising of any
nature may be expected. Minister Wil
lis has not yet shown his hand. He
may hold a trump card which, when
played, may cause consternation some
where around the board.
It is pofsible that he holds two sets of
instructions and is waiting for the signal
as to which to follow out. President
Cleveland is shrewd and skillful in every
play -that he directs, and there is no
doubt but that he is showing a master
mind in this matter. If he has acted as
he has to feel the pulse of the people,
any premeditated action which night
have been taken under certain conditions
can be changed and the public be none
the wiser of it.
Itis a big game that is being played,
and we trust President Cleveland for
winning eyery time.
TAYLOR'S SOFT SNAP.
C. H. J. Taylor, our colored minister
to Bolivia, said the other day toa Kan.
sas city reporter: “My appointment, or
rather reappointment by President Cleve
land, will be confirmed by the senate
which convenes two weeks from next
Monday. I am home now on instruc
tions from the president to settle my
business affairs preparatory to leaving
the United States the early part of De
cember. I will go around Cape Horn to
get to Bolivia and with my party will be
carried by a United States man of war.
When I take up my official duties I will
be the first negro minister plenipotentia
ry in the world, and it is an honor that
the entire negro race appreciates and the
credit goes to President Cleveland, who
gave me the place without my asking for
it. The United States is the only gov
ernment that maintains diplomatic rela
tions with Bolivia and that is done to
encourage trade and commerce with that
country, and this fact knocked out the
ebjection to my appointment on the
ground of my race. The only objection
could be raised is that I might not be
able to perform the duties attached to it.
President Cleveland and myself are sat
isfied that I can do it and the fact that
my appointment will become a precedent
makes me all the more zealous.”
Taylor here stopped to recover his
breath and his digpity which he always
carries with corpulent ease, and then he
added: “I was never in doubt that 1
would be appointed to the place, for I
had the president’s assurance. The
story that I was after the place of assist
ant secretary of agriculture was a pure
fabrication. I never applied for it at
all.”
Returning to the subject of the Boliv
ian mission, Taylor saixd, while looking
throught a pile of papers: *‘l shall have
the appointment of an interpreter, a sec
retary at $1,500 per year, an assistani.
secretary at 31,000 per year and a messen
ger. Thereis an approoriation of $5,000
a year for expenses, including rent, fuel
and other incidentals.”
For a sore throat there is nothing betl
ter than a flannel bandage dampened
with Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. It w'll
pearly always effect a cure in one night's
time. This remedy is also a tavorite for
sheumatism and has cured many severe
cases. 50 cent bot:les for sale by Farrar

FLUNKEYISM IN THE PULPIT.
Last Sunday Governor McKinley hap
pened to bein Brooklyn, and went to
church with a friend. At the close of
the services the minister, who appears
to be a genuine flunkey as well as a sen- |
sationalist, looking towards the governor ‘
said: 4
“T sould not forgive myself, and I am
sure the members of my congregation
would not forgive me, if I failed to say
we have worshipping with us this morn
ing one of the most eminent statesmen
of today. I feel constrained to say that
we have in our congregation that emi
pent christian statesman, Governoer Wil
liam McKinley, of Ohio.”
It is stated that the congregation arose
and cheered when the announcement
was made. Whether or not he was call
ed on for a tariff speech is not stated.”’
STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
The defeat in the house of the bill to
allow the State Normal School at Rock
College to admt women teachers is some
what of a surprise.
The object of the bill was sim ly to
allow female teachers to have the benefit
of the summercourse of instruction there
—the money to keep it being donated by
Dr. Curry, trustee of the Peabody fund.
Last summer an interesting session
was held, and women teachers were ad
mitted, as well as those perfecting them
selves to teach., Some of the instructors
were ladies, but the state school com
missioner was uncertain about again ad
mitting ladies, and therefore the bill
was introduced.
It was |a great surprise that the bill
should meet ;with any opposition, as it
1s only meant to give women teachers an
equal showing {with male teachers, and
especially jas the women constitute twe
thirds of the public school teachers of
tha state.
Dr. Curry has given $l,BOO to keep the
school open again next summer. Itis
not known what effect the actionr of the
house will have on the gift, bu’ it is
'likely Pr. Curry expected all of the
teachers benefit of the summer course of
instruction,
The bil! of Mr. Wilson, of Ware, pro
viding that county convicts may he hired
out strikes us as a bad bill. The feeling
is growing in this state that the convict
lease system must go, that it is barbar
ous and against public morals. This bill
apparently ignores this sentiment and
seeks to extend the system. There is
not a county in the state of Georgiain
which every convict cannot be profitably
employed on the roads. This bill should
be killed.
- A peculiar election bet was won on
! Judge Maynard’s defeat by Arthur T.
; Sullivan of New, York city. Some days
| before the election he promised to pay
$5O to J. S. Page in case of Maynard’s
election, provided Page would agree to
give him 3 cents for every vote in Bart
'lett's plurality. The wager was taken
and, as Bartlett's plurality was 93,000,
}Mr. Page was indebted in the sum of
$2,790, which he paid Friday. Both are
republicans.
~ The republican members of the ways
and means committee of the house are so
elated over the recent victory for the
Ohic governor and the democratic rever
sesin the elections all over the country
that they will submif as their minority
report the McKinley bill in its entirety,
claiming that the vote then cast was one 1
favoring a high protective tariff. i
That the Gounld family have a likingl
for the members of the theatrical pro
fession is becoming very evident. George,
who succeeds to a good portion of Jay's
millions, took his wife from the stage,
and pow Anna is enamored with Harry
Woodruft, a bandsome, curly headed
young actor, who has been playing in
“Charley’s Aunt.”
Th= state seiate should by all means

The candidacy of Hon. W. Y. Atkin- ;

What gets to be a craze at the north
the south takes it after awhile. Foot
ball is now becoming the latest southern
yankee craze. Oh! for something origi
nal, even if it were to revive ‘‘shinny,”
played at the old field Georgia schools.
Two footpads at Nortle Darlington, N.
C., a few days ago, waylaid a negro
preacher. The parson pounded them
‘both into insensibility, left them in the
l’ro.zd and went back and notified the po
lice where they might strike a case.
The cry of ‘“no quorum’ in the state
legislature is getting to be altogether
