BB ACCURATE, JUDGE.
In his Macon speech Judge Ulncs,
In hto eff»»r«s to ridicule tho Domo*
conic claims of economy on the part
of the irrcsftxt administration In con-
diksing tho g«»v*vum« , nf. Kinl. :i»4.». «!
log to the r4*p»>rt of die apcech in Ills
party organ;
"They can say two things about tne
great aOminls'xatlon: They saved SJg.-
(00,000 in penal on* and lost SB.OUO.OUO in
the interior department over aud above
what they saved, aud they have repealed
tho election laws. What are the election
Jaws? Did the/ hurt 'ou? Were they
file hint? from your pockets? Were they
reducing tho price of cotton? Were they
running down the price of wheat? Who
were tho election laws benefltting or hurt
ing? Not a single man in mis great
country. Yet Uny have done those two
thlr.es!
"They will tell us now, perhap* that
In a short time the tariff will be passed
and that they will then have three strings
to their bow, or three bows to their
string; $2*.0(0,000 saved In pensions; f2G.U0,-
000 lost in Interior department after Tax
ing off what they saved on pensions; and
th*/ have repealed the election laws.
And have reformed the tariff." I
Judge Hines scorns to say tbut
tfenigh pension' payments were ?28,»
000,000 tho total expenditures of
the-.interior department wore $*id,000,-
000 more. Now what aiv? the facts?
A carefully prepared statement from
tho treasury department shows that
the total expenditures of Hie interior
deportment In all of Its bninoties for
the fiscnA year 1803 vero $182,434,-
411.3d. Foe tho fiscal fear 1801 the
expenditures were $100,381, S21.33.
This shows a saving during the first
year of the present administration of
$22,072,500.03.
!t Is well to be careful to avoid con
fusing expenditures with (Kppmrla-
tli/im. The most Important qutwtion
Is In considering rtho expemllturi*s. A
ldRfe surplus fro*ni nu appiopriAtton
may be turned Ixirk into tho treasury
or an appropriation may bo spout and
a delicit created.
When wo »ay tlbat $24^183,000 Is
■aved In lflie admkitotriition of the pen-
hIioii bureau, we iqiuu that the plllce
lias been run for Clint much k«s th-au
ntM nppro|)rin4i*d tor It
Oh June 20 a lvsolitikm from the
senate requv«ted inforihustlou ns .to the
amount of tlie appropifeitton for the
payment 'of pensions which would re-
imiiu tuiexiKMinled nt the close of the
fiscal year 1804. The Information fur-
ptyhed in peply to Hunt resolution
showed that ou June 20 there wax an
uuexiKMcdcd lulanin* rcaualuing lu the
treasury amounting 1 to $23,485,000.
The pension ofilye estimated that 'of
tho ux-iMts now in the bands of tho
several United StSUet pension j'WMts,
nt least fOO^OUO would ho covmd Info
the treasury. iMils would muke an un-
expWDded iMhmco of $21,383,000. It
Is aVe to assume that Hie inu*xpcQtlod
Uil.ince which SO) be turned bock Into
Hie treasury Is not hero overeat I mailed.
The total aimsmt of tlie pension ap
propriation for the past year was
$100,531,350. Pension C->mmlsHU>ner
Rauui, under Pposidont Harrison's ad
ministration, estimated th it Iilie high
\\uier mirk of penuloa expeadltuco
uvuld Ik> ranchnl July 1, 1804, and
would be $188,000,000. It Is probable,
thsrefore, bad the same management
Uvu continued In the pension bureau,
thgit not (Hily would the total npproprl-
a won for peonlohs have been expended,
but a deficit of m»u>o $20,000,000 would
have 4k*cu 0FCUit$d. Ti^ mu km a dif
ference of flgout $15,000,000 between
wUu t<lu* present adinlu4stmtloii has
sQfipt tor psudona and WM would
haw bem spool by the twevlous ad-
niknUtrxithm.
These figures show that Judge lllucs
was wtonfi* Thl economy tl)at resulted
In a large doormse of pension ;xiy-
ineutf wwm real, not Hhani, a,' he seems
to thluk, nud tho rcadt was a saving
of many ndtUoDS »»f dollars to *he

A REPLY TO THNNTLLE.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: In
your lt»ue of today we notice a Commu
nication from Tennllle In reference to the
gdme of ball pluyed on our grounds lues-
day. It Is aj very untoir that we desire
•pic* I«j notice it bnerty.
The roost general cause of complaint
of the Tennille boys seems to be tne um
pire of the same in question, Mr. FedJgo.
Vour < orr.-.;)on bnt tate# that' the 'ICO-
1,1 ■ «•!'!- I Ji'.-* .imi.il riic. :• ]• •). u
he was forced on them. Now the fact IA
that Mr. Pedigo did not consent to act as
umpire until lie was requested to do ao
by Mr. Jordan Sanford, the captain ot
the Tennille team. As r® his decisions,
there Is a difference of opinion, of course,
but one or two men from Tennfile pro
nounced bit umpiring to be very fair,
nnd lh«- rn.ir .u;*-r ..f rhf T^nnlll**
team shook Mr. Pedigo's hahd aftri* the
■ mu iu ion ■>( ih- K'tin*- *n-l oxpr» I e.it-
l.^fact'on with tli-* maiiiKt In whi-h ti
bia discharged Mb duties.
Your correspondent proceeds further to
di : ut- III- ; • ure. H- st.itea that Will
Sanford <1.1 not yield lh«* numb‘r of hlM
Shown by the score, nnd struck out more
men /than he received credit for doing.
This is exceedingly diaphanous. Hoar, in
the name of Common sense, can anyone
carry h whole baseball game in H1s head?
Tennille had no scorer and the boards, or
throe Mllledgevllle men who kept the score
corresponded as regards base hits and
strike outs.
It is true that the ground was tome-
what damp, but this fact was no worse
for the one side than for the other.
The truth is, Tennille was outplayed.
We admit that the Tennille team la a
good one, but It contains some players
who «rc much stronger kickers than bat
ten*. and who handle words with greater
facility than they do balls. TUey would
probably object to the decision* of any
umpire when they were being beaten.
If they have a team superior to ours wny
did they not remain to play Wednesday,
according to agreement?
Our Cittern* who witnessed tho gome
believe that It was a fair onb and that
Mllledgevllle can wipe up Tenmiio again.
Some of them are willing to risk money
on the home team’s beating Tennille. «o
strongly wn I of this opinion, that 1
have written a challenge to the manoger
of tho Tennfile team. "Actions speak loud
money talks.” Let u« see what Tennfile
will do.
The following is a copy or the ciwl-
Ienge: ^ ^
Manager Tennfile Baseball Club—Dear
Sir: We see from the Macon Telegraph
this morning that ydu protest the game
played here last Tuesday. We say that
the game was fair, nnd state that we will
play you a series of three games on Ma
con's diamond for 150 or HOD for the best
two out of three, GO per cent.‘of gate re
ceipts to go to winning team, 40 per coni,
to the losing one. We must both have
the same men who played id MHledgcville
las; Tuesday, with two umpires from
Macon, one to timpfre bases/ the other

THE BUSINES3 MEETING.
Another Step Toward Org^ixlng the
Southern Development' Asaofcifltlom
Now York. July 13.—The committee on
permanent brganlzatlon, composed of
ju-omlnent business men of the North
and South, which was the outgrowth of
n conference held at the Fifth Avenue
hotel recently to Improve Southern
trade, resumed Its sesalona this morn
ing at room 303 of the Mutual Life In
surance building. The session was held
behind closed doors. The object of the
meeting was to fix upon thO' name for
the new organization nnd also to draw
up a (Constitution nnd by-laws.
Capt. Hugh R .Garden. chMrman of
the committee, called the meeting to
order. He explnlned to the-, members
that the organizctlon should, have a
name and Invited them to offer sug
gestions ns tb what It should bo called.
It to possible the new organlzntlon will
be on the co-operative plan nnd no dif

A irvtoed lirl of meinlnus v-f the <•

TRADE CONDITIONS.
N; :hwithstanding Strike* Business Has
Gone op WJth UnabaUd Confi
dence.
New' York, July 13.—R. G. Dim &
Co.'s weekly review will sjy tomun'jw:
When clrc'jniM/Uue are duly weighed,
the strength and soundness of bimineM
in this county during the past two
vests .me amazing. With the second
chy in the country in the h-.r.ds of law
less and murderous mobs, beaiJu* many
other cities and towns, with the raiiwjy
traffic almost entirely stopped over the
vast area between Toledo ami the Pa
cific, with the presidential proclamation
declaring the existence of an Insurrec
tion ami the passionate ordering of half
a mlll/on men to stop work, with a pro
longed strike of th? coal miners tot yet
fully ended in many states and with
the differenteu between the house and
the senate on the tariff question so wide
that duties affecting mining cannot be
.un. ip.ired, induMiric-.s .md ir.ules h.ive
nevertheless* gone on with mtblimc con
fidence that the people and their gbvern-
m* nl would S'-m older. The
shrinkage of business hnd the depres
sion of values have been unexpectedly
email, the failures relatively few and
unirnp -riant and iht-re are even signs
in oome industries of actual progress to
ward recovery from previous troubles.
It is a good foundation for hope that
firm and wise action by the government
has been upheld by the loyal people,
that ordec Jins been generally restored
and the blockade of transportation has
nearly ceased and the wage earners
have In the main refused to arrest iri-
duslries ai the dictation of )e.id-r*. Cut-
ton manufacturers have reduced thetiT-
pi'oductlon somewhat, though most of
the mills continue to pile up goods and
th«* stock of print duth* to !i-»w l.OSO.oOO
pieces. Dullness la commonly ascribed
and partly due to the disturbed condi
tions at th* West and South. Tte same
cause affects woolen manufacturers, but
les* dlreclly, and tho clothiers have
postponed orders ao long that their ef-
fors to get merely the things they have
actual need of has greatly improved the
tone. Orders are small, bu; a fewer
number of mills have closed since July
1 than was expected. The output of
Iron, which dropped from 110,210 tons to
62,517 tons weekly In May because of
the miners’ strike, only recovered to
SI,155 tons July 1, and it Ih uncertain
whether it is larger now, for numerous
Western works have been stopped by
thi* railroad blockade. The actual <'*m-
surnptvm lu June was larger by 95.71*2
tons than -the figures of production in
dicate. Unsold stocks have been thus
reduced and the Iron Age 'eports the
production In the first half of 1831 nt
2,450,000 tons, against 2,’f51.584 tons in
the last half of 1893 and 4.7C9.GS3 In the
first half of last year. Stocks were re
duced this year 264,261 tons, but In*
creased *05,700 .during the last half of
1893. so that the actual increase In man
ufacturing has been 1.48 per cent, larger
than last year, though but 60 per cent,
of tho ordinary capacity. Little can be
judged from the present stock demand,
as trade is so much Interrupted, but
the demand keeps the works fairly
busy. Foreign trade does not gain, ex
ports being 1L4 per cent. le*Si and im
ports 40 per cent, less than last year.
The banks note more activity In conti
nental commercial paper and more t>atis-
fnctory settlements of maturing debts.
The decrease in failures exhibited last
week Is followed bv good returns for.
July thus far reported. The liabilities
In the first five days were 1311.567.
though delayed malls keep back some
Western returns. The number of fail
ures during the past week has been 237
In the United States, against 374* last
year, and In Canada 49 against 25 last
year.
BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
New York, July 13.—Bradstreet’s to
morrow will say; The Industrial situ
ation has greatly improved. The fail
ure of the American Railway. Union boy
cott appears complete amt^ the upnihy
with wnioh organized lab’or and the ap
peal for strike In sympathy was sur
prising. Railroad traffic is generally
resumed and the number of idle men
has been heavily reduced. In other lines
the situation is also Improved. The coke
strike is conceded a failure and the op-
•*rativfM ure returning to work. The
settlement i»f the pollers’ strike at
Trenton, after lasting six months,means
the re-employment of thousands. A
number of small strikes ure reported,
but there are 26,000 fewer idle because
of the strikes on Friday this week than
last. Iron, steel, lumber, shoe, wool
and c'otton manutficturlng industries at
Western centres made practically no
shipments nnd commercial travellers
throughout the Central and Western
states generally have been compelled to
leave the road. An examination of sta
ple prices compared with the mdldle of
1891. following the banking embarrass
ments. Indicates Hour his declined 40
per cent., wheat 45 per cent, and com
35 per cent., while oats are 30 per cent,
higher than three years ago. Pork and
lard are respei lively is nnd 12 per cent,
higher than last year, while the change
in the price of butter and cheese to less
significant. No such radical movement
Is expected In prlcea for print cloths,
sugar, coffee, cotton, refined petroleum
And anthracite cbal. but raw spool has
dropped 37 per cent., plj Iron, basse-
mer and anthracite 25 per cent., billets
25 per cent, and bituminous coal 3<) per
cent. All Southern cities my business
to very dull. The railway strike was
directly felt at Memphis, Nashville, Au
gusta, Savannah. New Orleans and Gal
veston. The Georgia market reports
that turpentine has advanced in price,
and New Orleans that sugar to not in
