The newspapers yesterday morning reported the proceedings, of political coaveutlons In two' Southern states which were of unusual Interest, for the reason that both marked the beginning of a division In thoso states In the ranks of the Democratic party. The two conventions were alike In that re spect only. In the motives by tvhleh they were, controlled they were ns dis similar as two political meetings could be. The convention In Louisiana, which declared the cohesion of tho sugar planters of that stato to the Republi can party, was moved purely by «t>itlsh considerations. It was made up of men who liml sulTerml ill their pockebi by a change in the tux laws of tlio country which curtailed their privilege of tax ing for tbclr own bcucllt their' follow dtlheus. They were Without sentiment, or If not without It they violated It In ntiumloiilng tbclr allegiance to the par ty with which they have alllllnted ami which they kujnv to have rescued thb state In wblalt they live from the semi- barbarism of n government controlled by allied adventurers nml Ignorant no- grot's. Every sentimeutnl considera tion was opposed to the course tvhicli they took, but they were controlled purely by business considerations. In their resolutions they declared for tlio protection of every American Industry, though they know that tlio greatest of those Industries cannot lie protected (Ail Uifit theirs can be protected only because It la luslgnlflfnnt In proportion to the peed for their product of tlio American people. Tlio oou»Mitlou,of South Carolina dal not declare for an Immediate division tat the party. It merely Insisted tlmt tlio Tilhimii faction, mode up of men who call thcmselrea Democrats, whoso lenders are men holding official posi tions In the Demoerallo party aud therefore responsible to It, shall when tlielr convention moots today show by tlio character of tlio resolutions ndopled that they are In favor of Demoerallo political principles mid not opposed to them. That is to say. It pul tho Tijl- m,miles on notice that they must bo Democrats In fact as well ns In name, or they will have to tight tlio real Dem ocrats of South Carolina. The Issue in this case is ono wholly of principle. Thu meu who head the ucw movement do not ask for anything for themselves. They arc willing that Uic spoils of office should remain \ylth their oppo nents. They only Insist that the prin ciples of the pary shall not ho oe- trayod by men who call themselves Democrats. They stand for tho most Important truth In polltlca—that tho greater worth of a party Is In Its Ideas, not merely in Its organisation. Tlio cohesive power of publla plunder Is very gr»Mt, as tho history of tho Ito- pulilloau parly shows, Tlio man who Is in politico for the snko of bis pocket Is an active and earnest politician, and he has tho Mlttost support of other meu who are also In politics for tho sake of their pockets. For this reason, it Is probable the sugar planters of Louisi ana may bo able to elect congressmen from two or three districts In that state, but they will not bo able to do more tluu tlmt -They can make no appeal to the higher motives olTiieu. Prac tically they must buy what they got !n polities, as tu other branches of their bus-uoM. Tlio South Carolina ease Is very different. Tlio appeal of the lead ers of tho new movement Is entirety to the host, the uuseltlrh side of their fel- low-ellixons. They sanply ask meu to be honest In politics aud to bo patri otic. Possibly they will not bo able lo effi'ct so close an organisation us tho sugar planters or to secure the service of such active workers, but nerertho- We they have. In our opinion, a gtwtt advantage over them. That advantage lie* In the r>cognition by tho pubtlo or the fact that they ought to suocecd. into public eon science is not on active ns It ought lo be, nor as seuatttYe, bnt tho iMlttlcnl pnrty yrhlch has that coa •Olmec ou its side has nevprthclow Stv.it reason to coagratahtie itsclL ANOTHER FRAUDULENT CIIICU- LAU. Tho following has been sent to the Telegraph, with « request that it bo published: "The American Banker's Association, 2 Wall street. Now York, Sept. I.-To tho Bankers of the. United Slates; The fol lowing circular has appeared during the last year In a number of newspapers, and Is now,bring used by politicians chiefly In the West, South and-southwest ss a cam paign document. Issued Merck 12, 1803. by American Bankers' Association (o all National Banks. “Dear Sir: Tho Interests of National hanker* require Immellste flaanclal legis lation by congress. Silver, silver eerttfl- .pates nnd treasury note* must be retired, and national bank note* upon a gold ba sis made the only money.

The future life of national tanks, as fixed and safe Investments, depends upon Immediate no tion. ss there is on increasing scntlnwntl In favor of government legal tender notes nnd silver coinage. The American Bankers' Association not only denies the authenticity ,ot the so- called ’panic bulletin' which bears no sig nature and |a dated on Sunday, Mach 12, 1823, but pronounces It a malicious and self-evident falsehood. "B. H. Pullen, ■iCbalfmae of the Executive Council." Tills unsigned circular is built upon tlio game lines that the Unzr-ird circu lar made familiar years ago, nnd which also appear in tho alleged extracts from bankers’ magazines and other such pe riodicals that have never been seen In such magazines, nml cannot bo found III tbolr illes, hut which Populist speak- era and orators declare wore printed In them at souid indefinite tlmo in the past In tho letter of Mr. Pullen which ap pears nlrove the circular, us It conics to us, has tho word “Fraud" stamped ou its fneo In big roil loiters. But realty such a stamp was not necessary. Tho author wrote Into It Just ns plainly, when ho made the terms of the circular exactly wlmt tho Popiillst leaders would have umdo them to bo bad they been preparing a circular , letter to hanks with the expectation that It would fall Into tliea- own Imiiijs. It Is remarkable wlmt a largo anil succesifful part fraud ho open us this lias played In the Populist movement. Tlmt suc cess is the severest reflection poss.blo on tho lntelllgeuco of tho inon who make up tho rank end tile of tho Popu list party. Apparently it lias only boon necessary for n shrewd fellow to Invent a story of wrong-doing by uthors and thou forge testimony as to the truth of thin story to ooiuplotoly fool thorn. It does not mutter If tho testhniniy Is ut terly Improbable, If not absolutely false an Its face. All that Is necessary Is that :t shall ascribe evil motives to cer tain men and conform in Its features to tho shrewd fellow's original story. WORK OF THE SUPREME COURT. Tho Justices of the supreme court ha vo Issued a circular, which they ask the newspapers of Gcurghi to publish, us follows: 'In reply to Inquiries as to the necessity (or aildtng two more Justices to ths mi- pretA bench in Georgia, wo state without reserve that tho necessity U overwhelm.

WAS REDUCED And Is Now Lower Than Ever Before or ct Least For a Long Num ber of Years. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET Appropriations For lb* Fiscal Year Mmlfi-DrCfesifi In Appropriations For the Court* and Public fcboolis The rate of taxation In Bibb county will he 11.05 per 2100. or J10.60 par 21.000 for the fiscal year. This Is the lowest rate of taxation Bibb has had tn yews, and probably never before. .The county tax It 21.13 per 21.000 and the state tax Is 24.37. making a total of 210.60. 'Laat year the state nnd Cbunty tax was 21.30 per $100. but thla year both the state and county have lowered the rate. The county rate was louvered by the county commissioners at a meeting held yesterday morning. The members ot the board have had the rate of taxation under Consideration for aom. time and It -was only after everythin* had been considered In detail and the closest in quiry made Into every expenditure that the commissioners lowered the rate. Last year, when the rate was raised from 21.20 to 21.30. there was considera ble complaint from taxpayers, but the commissioners were compelled to meet a deficiency, and In order to do so It was necessary to lricretse the rate. This Increase enabled them to .pay off all debt* and deficiencies and by Judicious and conservative legislation they now see their way clear to make the rate lower than it has ever been, notwith standing the decrease in the valuation of nearly $1,500,000. This speaks well for the commlssibnem and shows that Bibb county’s Interests are safe In their keeping and that they are administering the affairs of the county both intelli gently and economlcatly. After the rate of taxation had been fixed and disposed of the commission ers mode their a aprprlatlona for county expenses for the fiscal yeSr, which are embodied In the following resolutions: “Whereas, the estimated expenses of Bibo ccunty for the fiscal year 1394-1805 are Itemized as follows, td-wlt: For general expense* 2 14,225 17 Jail bonds maturing January 1, 1895 5,000 00 Roff home. 8,955 60 Public roads 15,854 OS Bridges 1,292 23 paupers 3,005 50 Court house 2.372 54 Jail 6,817 04 City court : 6,029 85 superior court...,, 7,37130 City court Jurors 3,322 00 Superior court Jurors 8,698 00 Coroner’s Jurors 356 00 Ordinary's Jurors.,, 424 00 Public schools 40,063 64 Error and insolvent lists 3,821 30 Total $128,213 15 "And. whereas, the county has this day on hand in ibank $23,282.72, leaving a balance of 3105.930.43 to be provided for out of the taxes of 1894.

Yesterday morning while seated at the breakfast table with his family Officer Frank Moseley was startled by s lou-1 crash In hie parlor. Thinking some one had trown a large stone through one of his front windows, the officer hurried Into the room fron whencs the noise came, and to his great oatnnlahsnent. the first thing that met bla gaze on entering the door was Capt. O. T. Keenan lying on tbe floor perfectly, motionless. The officer has seen many sights Jn that which would oippatl the stoutest heart in his long voice on the notice force, but he had seldom seen esie that caused him more grief than to see his warm friend, one who he has long es teemed above all others lying on the floor, to all appearances dsad. Before the officer could speak or move towaiv Capt Kenan, his wife entered the room, and she. too. was horor stricken and neither ahe nor her husband tnovel for several minutes. At last, however, Of ficer Moseley picked his friend up, and after a hasty examination found that he had not been seriously injured. Of courie it was Capt. Picture that fell nnd not the captain himself. The picture is a large lltc-slzc crayon portrait of capt. Kenan which, together with similar por traits of Postmaster Price. Mr*. Moseley and the handsome officer himself adorn the walls of Officer Moseley's parlor. In some manner the cord had broken and the picture, which was In a heavy oak rrome, fell with a crash. The only damage done was »fte complete destruction or tne frame. - WITH A CRASH Fell a -Portion of-the New Masonic Building.
