The Augusta Exposition looms up in
the near future as a mighty big thing. It

approaches.
The government of Manitoba has sue

The New York Sun, a Hill organ, says
it is not'likely the Governor will be a can

Gkn. Lucius Fairchild—he of
“palsy”—has been nominated by the Wis
consin Republicans as a Presidential elec

ridiculous in the country at iarge seems to
hare gained him popularity at home.
The Boston Herald believes that “in
practical talents” Mr. .W. L. Scott, of
Pennsylvania, has no equal in the present
House. “Practical talents” are a great
necessity in Congress. There is always a
big supply of fancifnl statesmanship 'in
that body.
Hn. Randall refuses to submit his
amendments to the Mills bill to the ways
and means committee, as other members
arc doing, but will offer them in the House.
Mr. Randall’s action, perhaps, arises from
bis knowledge that it is only by Republi
can votes that his amendments can be
adopted.
Mr. Melville W. Fuller will make a
financial sacrifice to accept the chief jus
ticeship. The salary of the office is $10,-
600 ayear, and Mr. Fuller’s income from
his practice bas for several years past been
nearly three times that amount. Of him

This lias been a year of comparative

The Chattanooga Times says it is in fa.
vor of “low taxation," and in the next
line remarks that “moat of the talk about
low taxes is pure cant and ignorance.”
The kind of low taxation the Times thinks
wise is the kind that yields very little
money to the government and a great deaf
to private persons empowered by law to
collect it.
It having been proposed that President
Cleveland and General Black should re
view the Decoration day procession in
Brooklyn, a Grand Army patriot writes a
letter to a New York paper of which the
following U a paragraph:
A few old bummers and bounty Jumpers may
honor and cringe before tbslr own kind, but
the mams of the Grand Army are as loyal as
when they fought Democratic rebels In the field,
and they will swallow no insults; will eat no
crow. They will paw by on the other aide;
leave the ranks; turn off at another street, or
vent their contempt as they pass the stand.
Better have no parade than such an insult to be
blaioned as a triumph in a nominating Preal
dential convention to aid a boom and be her
aided all over the land to onr city's and oft
country's shame.
All this because the President thinks
$80,000,000 ayear enough to pay for pen
sions for the present.
Tub Boston Advertiser is indignant be
cause a Southern newspaper advancea the
argument that if the tariff on iron were
largely reduced the market for Southern
irons would be increased by the blowing
out of the Northern furnaces less favorably
located for cheap production. The Ad
vertiser thinks this is very wicked, but it
is difficult to see, if a low tariff will de
velop the iron industry in the South and
a high tariff will develop it at the North
why the latter should be chosen. Penn
sylvania is entitled to no preference over
Alabama, and if the choice is between a
high and a low tax, there should be no
hesitation. The Advertiser^ no doubt,
atippofU the protective tariff because it
bas made New England rich, while the
prosperity of other sections has been
checked or destroyed. If a modification
of that policy will help the Sonth, though
tbe industries of New England be some
what interfered with, is the Southern man
more selfish than is the Advertiser if he
advocate such a modification. We think

The Jndgesnt Best.
“Taking one consideration with anoth
er” the lot of the Justices of the Supreme
Court of the United States is a happy one.
The court adjourned last Monday until
the first Monday in October. To hold an
exalted office with a life tenure at a salary
of $10,000 a year, and to enjoy several
months rest every year is surely a delight
ful privilege.
But we must commend the liberality of
the government to its highest judicial offi
cers. They should be well paid and they
should not be overworked. We have often
taken occasion to allude to tbe onerous
duties which are imposed on our Circuit
and Supreme Court judges in Georgia and
the meager compensation allowed them. It
is to be hoped that the pending
amendment to the State constitution which
increased the number of Supreme Court
judges from three to five will be adopted
at the October election. It will lighten
the labors of the judges though it does not
affect their salaries. Our Supreme Court
judges work nearly all the year round and
receive a salary which we are ashamed to
publish to the world.
Returning to the Supreme Court of the
United States it may be said that the ses
sion just closed was one of unusual interest.
Perhaps the most important decision ren
dered was that in the Virginia habeas
corpus case, in which officers of the State
had been arrested ' for refusing to
obey the* edict of a federal judge
when it came in conflict
with the decisions of the State courts on
the question of the State debt. A decision
of the Supreme Court in 1885 had indicat
ed that the Federal power would be held
supreme iu the litigation as to Virginia’:
debt where non residents were interested,
but the recent decision affirmed the right
of the State to take care of its own con
tracts and exposed the devious methods
that had been employed to evade the
inhibition against suing a State. The
opinion was all the more significant be
cause it was the unanimous deliverance of
the court. No decision of recent years
has drawn more clearly the lines of de
marcation between Federal and State
authority.
In the case of Maxwell, the St. Louis
trunk murderer, the absolute right of State
to enforce its criminal laws where they do
not clash with federal statutes was affirmed.
The recent session made more pronounced
than ever the tendency of the Supreme
Court to keep a jealous watch over the
rights of the States.
But the excessive use of Slate authority
was condemned in the case from Alabama
against the Western Union Telegraph
Company, the court holding that the State
could not impose a license tax as the con
dition of the company’s doing business
within its bunicis. In the habeas corpus
case from Indiana it was declared that the
Federal Courts could deal with frauds com
mitted against national election laws in
any State.
A very interesting question as to the re
lative rights of the States was decided. A
citizen of West Virginia indicted for mur
der in Keutucky, near tho border of West
Virginia, escaped into the latter State. He
waa seized on West Virginia soil by
Kentucky officers and forcibly taken back
to Kentucky for trial. The Governor of
West Virginia demanded his return. The
Governor of Kentucky refused to snrrcn'
der him. The Supreme Court held that
there is no way in which the Governor of
West Virginia can enfurce bin demand.
Tbe highest authority in such cases is ex
pressed in the dentaud of the Governor for
extradition.
To the general pnblio the most interest
ing decision of the session was that in the
Ball telephone caw, which made the pres
ent telephone monopoly Ironclad until the
expiration of its patents in 1893. One of
the notable decisioni of the session made a
significant definition of forgery. A fellow
named Benton, pretending to act as agent
for I’atti, had received several thousand
dollars in Mexico City for bogus opera
tickets and was subsequently arrested in
the United States. He could not have been
extradited for obtaining money under false
pretenses.or for cheating and swindling.
When his delivery to the Mexican author
ities was demanded on a charge of forgery,
his counsel proved that he had
simply stamped the bogus tickets.
The • Supreme Court decided that
forgery could be committed as
well hv the use of a stamp as by Imitation
of handwriting with a pen, and Benson is
held subject to extradition.
There were many important cases in
volving millions of dollars in different
parts of the Union. The session disjl
of more work than usual, and handled
more than the average number of delicate

satisfied with glittering generalities or
mere professions oMienevolence.
Mr. W. L. Scott, of Pennsylvania, in the
House of Representatives, last Friday de
clared that the Mills bill, which has been
held up as a bugbear by the organs of
monopoly, might be truly called a measure
“for the defence of American industry,’’
for, said he, “We alone offee it protection.
We seek tho independence and ag'
grandizement of domestic labor by
liberating it from unnatural restraints
and allowing it the undisturbed possession
and complete enjoyment of its own earn,
tugs.”
The protectionist is forever figuring up
tbe alleged profits to the American laborer
from our present system' of overtaxation,
but he does not foot np the other side of
the account. He does not show how the
system he advocates increases the cost of
living in every family in the land and
takes from its so-called beneficiaries, the
working classes, more than it gives them,
even where there is an apparent increase
of wages which is claimed os a result of
protection. Mr. Scott states that one
member of the Edgar Thompson steel
works told him that he drew out $1,500,000
profits last year, or about $5,000 a day.
The men who made the steel that brought
this enormous incoiue to one monopolist
received less wages on an average
than the skilled coal miner
Pennsylvania. The percentage of labor
cost to cost of production of steel rails, in
the Edgar Thompson steel works is 15.26
per cent., but the percentage of labor cost
to the selling price of the rails from these
mills is only 10.9 per cent. In the manu
facture of steel beams the showing is still
worse:
The cost of labor paid lor the manufacture of
a ton of steel beams, based upon the cost of
production per ton, namely, labor S5.3J, cost
Si8.02 is 19 per cent. Tbe percentage labor re
cclred based on the selling price of a ton of
steel beams, namely, $5.33 for labos and S6G per
ten selling price, Is 8.7 per cent.
It will bo readily peroeived where the
benefits of protection go in this case
Steel rails are by the present
tariff .protected 85 per cent., and
steel beams 102 per cent. This wise and
benevolent legislation enables Mr. Carnegie
to pocket $1,500,000 a year as the result of
the American laborer’s toil, while the
laborer himself gets less than the coal
miner who is supposed to be without the
benefits of protection.
The tariff on Bteel rails is now $17 a ton.
The Mills bill proposes to rednee it to $11
a ton. Mr. Scott shows by the actual cost
nf production in thi: country and in Eng
land that $7 a ton would afford
ample protection to the Ameri-'
can industry. . The $10 which is
now laid in excess of that fair rate goes
mainly into the pockets of the gentlemen
who compose tfee Steel Teat

sion of the profits on steel manufacture

i striking iUostratiiw of the practical
workings of protection. The over-taxes
paid by the people do not go to uphold the
dignity of American labor, or to make
wages better, or give working men more
comfortable homes. This unnecessary and
unjust taxation wrings annually millions
Of dollars from the masses to make pluto
cratic iortis like Mr. Carnegie.
Now that the Sultan of Morocco lias re
leased the person* who claimed the protec
tion of the United States government and
what promised to be a troublesome dispute
is amicably settled, It may be well enough
to inquire how natives of Morocco with
half a dozen Els in their names came to be
American citizens. There is chance for a
little reform in this connection.
Get at the Facts.
The barefaced assertion of the advocates
of protection fw the *ake of protection
that it is to tbe benefit of American labor
is calculated to enlist the prejudice of the
masses, bnt it will not stand the test of
fair discussion as to theory or of practical
examination into the results of experience.
It is a good thing that the coming national
campaign is to be waged on this lane. A

Who Made Senator Colquitt?
Senator Colquitt will doubtless be sur
prised )f) the statements which nre floating
around in a few newspapers that lie owes
his political prominence to a few politi
cians and two or three newspapers. This
is news to the people of Georgia, and we
have no doubt it is news to the Senator.
In this State such reckless assertions
provoke only a smile, for Senator Col-
quitt’.s career is too well known here
suffer from snch misrepresentations. Ii
there is a public man in Georgia who lias
been independent of the politicians that
man is Alfred H. Colquitt.
When he first aspired to tho governor
ship the politicians opposed him
and the people elected him. When he ran
for Governor the second time in tho most
excited campaign Georgia has known since
the war four fifths of the politicians in the
State opposed him bitterly and did their
beat to beat him. The people elected him
by 54,000 majority. When he became a
candidate for the Senate the people let
their members of the Legislature under
stand that they wanted him elected and
the Legislature expressed the popular
wish. Nobody ever knew Senator Colquitt
to conduct a wire-pulling campaign or to
depend upon the skiiiini ma
nipulation of political wires to cap
ture an office for him. His methods are
more direct. He goes to the people. He
tells them that he is a candidate, and
wants their suffrages. He knows the peo
ple of Georgia, and they know him. Some
how they like him. They have never
failed to meet him with enthusiasm, and
they have never refused to honor him with
any office he asked at their hands. The
voice, a resolution indorsing Senator Col
quitt.
The Senator has never depended upon
the politicians. He lias naked his Com
missions of the sovereign power. Ho lifts
gone directly fo the people, and the people
have itcod by him every time.
Seventy years ago Daniel Webster said
in reply to the argument that high protec
tion would build up the material interests
of this country: “Suppose all nations
were to act on it; they would be prosper
ous then, according to the argument, pre
cisely in the proportion in whiclt they
abolish intercourse with one onother.”
The Gettysburg Reunion.
If present anticipations are realized, the
reunion of the survivors of the Federal
and Confederate armies, at Gettysburg on
July 2, 3 and 4, the twenty-fifth anniver
sary of the great battle, will be a notable
event. It is the intention to bring to the
field as many of the participants in the
battle as possible, and it is probable that
several thousand will be present. The re
union last year indicates the spirit that
will prevail. The soldiers of the two
armies will go over the incidents of the
battle together, they will camp together,
the orators of whatever army will praise
the valor of the other as highly as that of
his own, there will be a vast deal of gusli
and sentiment—and everybody will have
a good time.
We are in favor of the reunion. We
would like for every old Confederate who
has enough money to pay his fare to beoif
hand. There will doubtless be thousands
of Northern people present who never saw
a Confederate, who have been hearing ter
rible stories about him all their lives, and
we would like for them to see what a
harmless, peaceable fellow the Confederate
is. The Northern soldiers are of course
already acquainted witli him—especially
those who met him at Gettysburg—and
consequently have a better opinion of
him than those of our fellow-citizens
across the line whom time or circum
stance cheated of the opportunity of
distinguishing themselves in the forefront
of the battle. It is perhaps natural
that these citizens should be a
little embittered by the loss
of the one chance of *a
lifetime to do some target shooting of the
most interesting kind, bnt that Iom really
was not the fault of the Confederates, and
if they will come to the reunion we are
sure their bitterness will be dissipated
while they talk the matter over with the
gray-haired men they will meet there.
it will be a little curious if while this
reunion is going on—the old soldiers testi
fying to the respect in which they hold
eacii other and endeavoring to extinguish
the last remaining embers of sectional
hatred—the Republican politicians should
be carrying on the bloody shirt campaign
which they have already inaugurated.

When Genera! Joseph E. Johnston re
ceived a circular from a Philadelphia
Grand Army post, asking that he contrib
ute money to aid in carrying out the post’s
charitable undertakings, he doubtless
thought he was doing a very simple and
innocent thing when lie responded by send
ing ten dollars. Rat it seems that he
wasn’t,, .
In the opinion of Grand Army posts,
other than that to which the contribntion
was made, the time lias not yet come when
the Grand Army can afford to use, even in
charities, money tainted by the touch of a
“rebel.” The action of the Philadelphia
post in receiving the ten dollars has been
angrily protested against by another post
-in the same city and by one
in Chicago, and the latter has demanded
from Commander-in-Chief Rea an order to
posts to refuse contributions from all
Southern soldiers. Such an order would
not cut off any considerable revenue, for
the reason that Southern soldiers are gen
erally too poor to bff charitable, and the
few who have more than they need can
find ample opportunity for giving at
home among their comrades. It might do
something toward keeping up the war
feeling among Federal veterans, however,
and that, perhaps, is the reason that it is
squght.
Tim purposes of the great society, organ
ized to keep alive the nobler memories of
the war and to help comrades in need,
have been perverted. It is now a Repub
lican machine, devoted to keeping alive
the hatreds of the war and to extorting
pensions from tho government for all
veterans, whether in need of help or not.

Into Districts, and tho Systematic
YVork of Collecting Money

Special Correspondence Macon Telegraph.
New York, May 17.—There is no more
interesting figure in the Methodist Confer
ence than Chaplain McCabe. His success
in raising funds for Methodist missions is
remarkable. Four years ago he started
out with the battle cry of “A million for
missions.” At that time the income of the
missionary society waa $731,000 and a debt
of a quarter of a million dollars barred
further progress. The chaplain was elected
corresponding secretary, anu uc Jirew his
whole soul into the work of raising money.
He is a determined man. He has clear-
cut features and sharp, piercing eyes. lie
is one of those rare men who are both ora
tor and vocalist. His well-modulated
voice led to his being selected as the leader
of the singing at the conference. As 'a
speaker he is known irom one end of the
country to the other. The result of his
personal persuasion and business methods
is that over $1,000,000 was raisei) in 1887,
the debt paid off and the mission work
carried farther than ever before.
A Mail and Express reporter asked him
what was the secret of his success.
“Simply this,” said he. “I adopted the
following maxim: ‘Tell the people what
yon are doing with their money.” In
stead of lecturing os the manners and cus
toms of foreign lands, tell the people of
the power of the gospel in overcoming
superstition, and changing the hearts and
lives of men, making them happier all
over the earth. This has been done not
only in addresses at great conventions and
mass meetings, bat through the press, both
religious ami secular.”
The chaplain has his headquarters in
this city, and has the country divided into
375 districts, in each of which is a corres
ponding secretary. These secretaries re
ceive by mail, everjftreek, a printed bul
letin containing the latest news from the
mission fields. Each of the secretaries
aims to have this bulletin inserted in the
columns of at least ten secular newspapers.
So that over 3,000 newspapers are pub
lishing missionary intelligence for at least
6,000,000 readers. The ettect of this intel
ligence broadcast is of great benefit not
only to Methodism, hut to all Protestant
churches.
THE SUM ASKED FOR THE YEAR.
The Methodist Missionary Society asks
for the current year the sum «f $1,200,000,
and Chaplain McCabe says the prospect of
raising this large amount is very good.
The spring conferences have already closed
their sesstits, with nn increase of nearly
$50,000 over former contributions, and the
grc.it West i- vi t P> In- heard from.
Chaplain McCabe is constantly on the
alert. He may be said to live on the rail
road train, as lie trave sfrom Maine to the
South and through tho extreme Wes
tern States. He is received everywhere
with great cordiality. There are 450 pre
siding elders in the Methodist Church, and
thoy have been of great assistance iu ac
complishing the results stated above.
Y\ hen t'ne Chaplain started out, the
boldness of his scheme caused his associates
to shake their heads in doubt. Now, they
are enthusiastic over his success. The
bishops in their address to the conference
referred to the work in these words: “The
work of evangelizing the world is going
on on a grander scale than ever before in
the history of Methodism.”
The duty of arranging for the distribu
tion of the funds is attended to by n gen
eral committee. There are about forty
men on this committee. Included in the
number are the bishop and prominent men
in the church from all parts of the coun
try. Thoy are elected by the General
Conference. They meet in November of
every year, and the whole missionary work
of the Methodist denomination passes be
fore them in review. They determine the
fields of work for home and foreign mis
sions, the number of persons iu he em
ployed, and the amount of money neces
sary for the support of each mission. The
treasurer makes his headquarters in this
city, and the assistant treasurer lives in
Cincinnati. The accounts are kept accord
ing to the best business methods, and care
fully audited by a special committee.
The foreign missions are located in Ja
pan, China, Maleysia, India, South Amer
ica, Africa, Italy. Bulgaria, Germany,
Switzerland, Scandinavia, Finland, Mexi
co and Corea. The home missions are it)
the South, among the negroes and on the
Western frontier. There are over 8,000 in
the various fields, who are supported in
whole or in part by the parent missionary
society, assisted by the two women socie
ties.
That Methodists are liberal givers for ail
kinds of devotional work is shown by the
following table, compiled from reliable
sources, and giving the amounts raised
annually for the purpeses specified: '

This large aum represents a contribution
of nearly ten dollars per member. The
liberality of this in proportion to the
means of the donor is thus expressed by
Dr. Buckley, tbe able editor of the Chris
tian Advocate: “Remember that not more
than a three-hundredth part of our mem
bership can he considered in any sense
rich; that not more than one-sixth arc
well-to-do; that one-third are entirely de-
jiendent upon current earnings for the
comforts they have, and that a large num
ber live from hand to mouth. Forget not
the large multitude iu the South, who
have but very little to live upon, and
through whose hands pass very small
amounts of money during the year. Note
the fact that many children are enrolled as
members, and that the majority of these
children come not from the homes of the
rich, and that the money paid by the
household for the current expenses and for
benevolent gift* comes from the earnings
of a single bread-winner.”
