TUB TELEGRAPH. Macon, Ga.
THE PRESIDENT'S MBS8AGE.
The president's message, printed
elsewhere this morning, may be said
broadly to deal with two topics only—
the foreign relation* of our govern
ment and It* flnsnoe*. Tho president
cuggests retaliation upon Germany for
■the unfriendly manner In which she
prohibit* the Importation of our goods
,m flimsy pretexts and hampers tho
tm ,ine*a of our Insurance companies.
He announces that last July bo sent a
protest to tho government of Great
Britain ugalnst Us action in Venezuela,
which amounts very nearly to a de
mand that tho question In dispute be-
iw-en Great Britain and Venexuela be
submitted to arbitration. He says
Something \>f the natural sympathies
Americans for the Cuban insurgents,
but gives not the slightest hint that he
thinks them entitled to recognition as
belligerents.
The larger pore of tho message I*
la! cn up by a carefully written nrgu-
iim nt ip favor of the retirement of the
government's outstanding demand
notes. A condensed history of our cur
rency legislation Is given. The evil con
sequences which have resulted from Us
fault* ore stated In strong language,
nr. 1 the necessity of prompt action on
Hie part of congress to relieve the coun
try from the danger that la Inherent
In the present currency system Is urged
fmclbly. Tho president makes no con
cealment of his Intention to make
further sak*of bonds. If that be neces
sary to maintain tho parity of our
.lllferent kinds of money. At'the same
time ho points out tho exceeding great
cost of this method of preserving tho
public credit, lh fact, no one has do-
uoribed more graphically tho Blsyphus-
llko labor In which the secretary of
tho treasury has been engaged during
tho last llftocn months. He secs tho
folly ol Issuing 1 Hinds for gold which
Is almost Immediately taken out of
the treasury again, sometimes by the
same mon who paid It in, but regards
hlmscll us compelled by law and his
duty to tho country to continue on this
courso until congress come# to his and
tho country’s relief. It is better to In
crease the public debt than to permit
tho disastrous crash that would follow
tho break-down of our currency sys
tem.
t he president suggests a remedy for
the currency evils which affilct US. It
Is that tho demand notes of tho gov
ernment-greenbacks and Sherman
notes—be redeemed and destroyed, the
money to redeem them being acquired
by the sale of bonds. This would In
volve no appreciable change In the
amount of tho fiubllo debt, but would
change the form of nearly JMO,000,000
of tt. The treasury would be subject
to a charge for Interest of nearly
215.000.000 a year which It now escapes,
but would bo free from the danger snd
the enormous expense which the con
tinuance of tho demand notes tn cir
culation make* It liable to. That the
ilangrr Is real Is shown by the expe
rience of the past two years and a half,
and that the expense Is Urge Is shown
by *n addition of 21(3,000,000 to the pub-
- Ha debt that would not have been nec
essary bad tbs demand notes not been
In circulation.
It Is apparent that the business of
the country would be seriously embar-
i at sod by the sudden withdrawal of
1500,000,000 from the circulating me
dium. But the ptealdent does not be
lieve that the withdrawal of the green
hack* and coin notes would result In
a decrease of the clrouUtlng medium.
He points out that the national bank*
already In existence have authority un
der the law to issue notes enough to
nearly All this vacuum. In addition,
hundreds of millions of gold, now
hoarded because the owners have tears
for the stability of our currency sys
tem would come out of hiding and en
ter Into use as money.
The meesago la perhaps, less felici
tous In literary style than some of Mr.
t'lfveltnd's stats papers. There Is some
evidence In It that the writer Is not
hopeful of th# future, but It Is ths able,
i arncst plea of a sincere man. who has
tbc welfare of tbe country at heart,
and will not be without effect upon
public opinion.
THE "MOTOCYCLE."
A few days ago there was a contest
In Chicago between about half a dosen
“metocyrles”—raad wagons propelled
by machinery. The roads were at their
wertt. covered with. snow and slush,
yet two or three of the vehicles sue.
reeded tn making ths Journey of about
flfiy miles la a shorter Ume «n»n t,
they bad been drawn by horses, la
Trance vehicles of a similar kind are
coming Into common use, the fine roads
of that country being favorable. In
England also their use has begun. In
both of these countries, we have no
doubt, reoommende.d by Its economy
and speed. It will Ip a few years be
seen everywhere. • '*
In this country th* use Is likely for
a long Ume to he restricted to the
cltlee. The country roads, as a rule, are
too bad to allow Its use to be econom
ical. Hut when It bas been demon
strated a success. It will have, like the
bicycle, a large Influence In compelling
the construction of better roads.
DEPEND ON PATRONAGE.
A few days ago the Republican mem
bers of the lower house of congress
from the South held a caucus at which
they talked a great deal. The object of
the meeting was to devise ways and
means of obtaining some of the house
patronage—a few of the minor ofTIccs.
The developments since then have
shown that the ways and means adopt
ed were not very effectual as they got
nothing. Tbe discussion In the caucus,
however,’as reported, Is somewhat in
teresting even at this late day, as Il
lustrating tbe Southern Republican's
Idea of politics. “In the opinion of the
Southerners." the report says, "the
action of New York and Pennsylvania
In forming a combination to ‘hog’ all
the best places was a mean and dis
creditable thing to do, and a slap In the
face of the Republicans of the South,
who had won such a gallant victory
over adverse circumstances." By "ad
verse circumstances"? was doubtless
meant that the Republicans In the
South did not have tho offices to help
them and no doubt the attendants on
this caucus believed that It four or five
little places about the house were put
at their disposal the Republican party
would be greatly strengthened at the
South. They entirely forget that when
the Republican party had and used the
offices of the South for political pur
poses only It was weak and constantly
grew weaker. Hut It seems lmpossiblo
for tho average politician to learn that
"pie" Is not the most strengthening
diet for a party.
"SCIENCE AND HEALTH."
During the past year ooples of
"Science and Health with Key to the
Scriptures," by Rev. Mary Baker
Eddy," has been plnced In the follow
ing libraries: Cornell University, Itha
ca, N. Y.; Vassar College, Poughkeep
sie, N. V.; Howard Memorial Library.
New Orleans, La.: the Imperial Public
Library. St. Petersburg, Russia; the
Library of the Imperial University. St.
Petersburg. Russia, and the University
Library. Christiana, Norway.
This "little book" Is llndlng Its way
Into tho world's literature and leaven
ing It with Its healing thought. Chris
tian science Is helping many to under
stand that living the Christ-life Is more
than profession. The study of this book
Inculcates a complete surrender of self
to tho Christ standard.
I Hi LEHIE.
DR. GOSTIN NOT IN IT.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I
see In your Issue of the 2d that In your
comments upon city officers etc., you
say that "It ts sold that Dr. Gostln
will oppose Dr. Sullivan In his can
didacy for city physician. This an
nouncement ts without warrant author
ity or sanction, as I could not and
would not for any consideration relin
quish my present practice for the posi
tion. Please Insert this and set me
right upon the record.
Dr. G. P. Gostln.
A GARD FROM MR. WOOD.
To tho Editor of the Telegraph: I
think It Is hardly necessary for me to
say that the rumor (?) that you print
In regard to my being a candidate for
sexton Is entirely without foundation.
1 have never been nm not now and
never expect to be a candidate. The or
dinance requiring the sexton to give
his entire tlmo and attention to the
-emetery precludes any question of a
business mun holding the office. Re
spectfully, Arthur L. Wood.

The Battle lor Prohibition or Liquor

Earnest
THE BOSH BILL IN THE HODSE.
Since His Conviction and Sentence New
Evidence Comes Up.
Indlanspollt, Dec. 3.—There were sen
sational developments git Danville last
night tn the easo of die v. william Hln-
shaw, who was recently convicted of
the murder of his wife and Is now
serving a life sentence In prison. Hln-
shaw sloutly protested his Innocence
and maintained that fits wife was killed
by robber* who came to their house
and led In a buggy. At the trial evi
dence failed to Bear Htnshaw out and
the Jury quickly returned a verdict of
guilty.
Now comes Lewis Asher, a neighbor
of Hlnshaw's, and states that on the
night of the murder, while out hunting
his horses, he saw two men drive to
wards the Htnshaw home. Later he
heart pistol shot* and cries for help.
He was frightened snd returned home
and was passed by the two men. Asher
claims to know who killed Mrs. Hln-
shaw but refuses to tell, as his life, be
says, would be In danger. Asher has
been placed tn Jail and will he exam
ined by ths grand Jury. Asher Is a
man of good reputation.

gant home of Professor Z. T. Fitzpat

UL Ths family ot Albert CoublUeon

but the othera are on ths way to re

Amendment* by ths Wholeeale Followed Its
Third Beading-Willingham, of Monroe,
Created a Sensation in Snpport
ol the Bill-Warm Debate.
Atlanta, Dec. ».—(Special.)—The bat
tle for prohibition or liquor dispensa
ries in Georgia is now on, to the finish.
At noon today the Bush anti-barroom
or dispensary bill was reached in, the
house of representatives as the special
order for consideration until disposed
of. Under the terms upon which the
bill was fixed as the special order noth
ing else can take precedence of It ex
cept by unanimous consent, and tbe
friends of tbe meaure are determined
not to have It delayed again for any
purpose whatever.
When the bill was taken up and read
for the third time, there was Imme
diately a flood of substitutes and
amendments. The substitutes offered
were by Mr. Anderson of Jones and by
Mr. Farmer of Coweta. Mr. Ander
son's substitute simply provides for
the abolition ot barrooms and tbe pro
hibition of tbe sale ot liquors except
for medicinal purposes. Mr. Farmer's
substitute provides for tho abolition
of barrooms and the sale of liquor only
In original packages not to exceed one
pint In quantity.
Of the amendments the most Import
ant one was by Mr. McCurry of Hart
which provides that the bill shall be
submitted to a vote of the people at a
special election to bo held next March
before it shall become a law.
Mr. Willingham of Monroe offered
an amendment excludlng^the operation
of the bill In the sale of domestic
wines mode by the party selling the
eame. Mr. Bush also offered an amend
ment exempting the bill from operation
In the sale of domestic wines, and Mr.
Humphreys of Brooks presented an
amendment exempting Brooks county
from the operation of the bill. Mr.
Rockwell of Chatham also had an
amendment relating to the sale of do
mestic wines.
It took a half hour to receive these
amendments and to get them In shape.
WILLINGHAM FOR IT.
Mr. Willingham of Monroe was the
first speaker to get the floor. He cre
ated a sensation, and the continuation
of his remarks tomorrow morning,
when he will again have the floor ts
looked forward to with a high de
gree of Interest, although the gentle
man from Monroe left the field of ac
tion today In no very enviable condi
tion aa regards his attitude before tbe
house. i
It will bo remembered that It was
Mr. Willingham who precipitated the
first sensation of the session by ask
ing for the appointment ol a special
committee to Investigate the charges of
corruption In connection with the
movement to oppose the Bush bill
which appeared In the columns of the
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, a church
paper that has been consistently ad
vocating the passage of the Bush bill
from the outset. In calling for this
investigation Mr. Willingham stated
on the floor of the house that while
he was a friend of the Bush bill he re
pudiated such charges, and believing
that they were groundless stated that
ho would vote for no bill unless tt
could be established that they were
made upon a basis of facts. He would
not support any measure that had to
be backed up by such a method of
campaign.
When tho Investigating committee
was appointed Mr. Willingham was
made chairman. The committee went
deep Into the charges, summoning wit
nesses from diBlant parts of the state.
The result ot tt all was a report to the
house stating In the strongest terms
that there was absolutely no founda
tion for the charges of bribery or cor
ruption. It was found by the commit
tee that both the friends and the oppo
nents of the Bush bill had raised
funds with which to conduct their
campaigns, but the committee stated
that neither side had used this money
tn nny other than a legitimnte end
proper way. As a further coroboratlon
of this the committee referred the
house to the primed evidence adduced
before them.
In the face of this report which he
signed, Mr. Willingham today assumed
the leadership of the movement tit sup
port of the bill. In addition in tlie pre
liminary of his speech on the
subject, he declared that he was
satisfied from the evidence brought out
by his committee that tbc 23.000 raised
by the liquor men was raised for the
purpose of being used to Improperly In
fluence the members of the legislature
against the Busb bill. This line ot ar
gument naturally produced a seusat-
tlon In the house, snd the member
from Monroe was beselged with ques
tions that were calculated to make blm
feel anything but consistent In hla
course or comfortable In the eyes of
hi* fellow-members.
Mr. Hodges of Bibb took an active
part In firing questions at the member
from Monroe, and had htm on the hip
several times. It was a puxsllng ques
tion to the house how Mr. Willingham
coutd have signed the report denying
the charges ot bribery snd then get up
on the floor and discredit them. At
the same time many Inquired of them
selves. and Mr. Humphreys of Brooks
and others put the question to him
openly, bow be could support the bill
In view of his statement that he would
not unless the charges of bribery were
proved, when he offered the resolution
calling for the Investigation.
It ts difficult to see how Mr. Willing
ham will extricate himself from tbe
awkard position tn which he Is now
placed, and the continuation of his
speech tomorrow ts looked forward to
with a lively Interest by the house as
well as the galleries, which wera well
tilled today, and will doubtless be
crowded tomorrow.
The bouse reconsidered Its action of
yesterday In killing the bill by Mr.
Prannsn of Fulton subjecting a cer
tain percentage of dally wages to gar.
nlshment. Mr. Brannan will present s
substitute.
Tbe -bill by Mr. Broyles of Fulton si.
lowing foreign corporations to own
more than M00 acre* ot land tn this
stats was passed.
The bill by Mr. Hodges of Bibb to
pay the Klbbee bond* met an adverse
fate again today, after having been
lamed down by every legislature for
a score or more of years past. The
bonds In question are known as the
Hayes and Scott and convention bonds
and are signed by Governors Charles
J. Jenkins and Charles J. McDonald.
Several times committees appointed to
investigate their validity have reported
favorably upon them and urged that
they be paid, but no legislature has
ever seen proper to carry out this rec
ommendation. Judge Klbbee of Macon
represents the bondholders and has for
years worked faithfully for his clients.
Under tbe bill acted upon today a
commission composed of Judge Clifford
Anderson of Macon, Hon. N. J. Ham
mond of Atlanta and J. W. Roberts of
Habersham county waa provided for,
this commission to Investigate and re
port upon the validity of the bonds to
tho governor, who was to be author
ized to pay them if the commission
found that the claim whs valid. The
house In committee of the whole re
ported adversely upon the bills and the
report was sustained, one of the bills
being lost on regular vote.
Mr. Hodges, however, gave notice of
a motion to reconsider tomorrow morn
ing. and will make another effort to
have tbe bills passed.
IN THE SENATE.
The senate passed the bill Increasing
the pay of the assistant state librarian
to 2L000 a year from 2800. This is tbe
position held by Miss Ellen Dortch.
The senate also passed tbe bill by
Mr. Monro allowing the county author
ities of counties which have no chain-
gangs to hire convicts to private per
sons.
The senate In executive session this
morning confirmed the following ap
pointments: John H. Blackwell, Judge
of the county court of Jasper; A. S.
Morgan, Judge of the county court of
Warren; R. G. Mitchell, Jr„ Judge of
the county court of Pierce; Green F.
Johnson, solicitor of the county court
of Jasper, and E. T. Shirley, solicitor
