I2» COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE.
On motion of Mr. Felton oi Bartow, the
House then convened in session as a com
mittee of the whole, with Mr. Simmons of
Sumter in the chair, for the purpose of
resuming the consideration of the appro
priation bill.
„Mr. Smith of Gwinnett concluded his
argument against appropriating money to
colleges, while the per capita for the chil
dren attending the public schools of the
state was as small as it dow is.
Mr. Park of Greene said that he had no
E rejudice against Atlanta, neither did he
ave any feeling with reference to the
manner in which the branch colleges were
distributed. The issue w«s a constitu
tional question with him. He said that he
did not object to higher colleges, but he
was opposed to brauen colleges.
lie devoted a good portion of his speech
to the actions of the special committee on
the School of Technology in visiting simi
lar inatitutions North. They were to take
this 'rip at no expense to the state, but lie
had since learned that the state, defrayed
all of the expenses of the committee. He
was opposed to using the hard earnings of
the stale for the maintenance of these col
leges.

Mr. Hull showed from the records of tin
'late and the university that the latter
was and had always been one of the pub-
. lie institutions of the ptate £ as well.as a
seat of learning, atm thrretore entitled
under the constitution to any appropria
tion which the legislature might think
proper to make to it. He also showed
that it was a proper item to be inserted
and included ia the general appropriation
bill. He spoke of the diversity pj opinion
among the lawyers of the Stitt fti It tht
constitutionality of the proposed donation
and appropriation, And gave the Hon. N.
J. Hammond as his constitutional ad-
vltor on the question involved.
0ASDI.ER FAVORS LAIUiK Arl'ROrRIATION9.
Mr. Candler of DeKalb hnd read for
information an amendment that he pro
posed to make to the bill, which was to -In
sert in the general appropria’ on bill
$250,000 for the support of the common
schools oi the state for the year 188Q. and
$500,000 for the support of the common
ichools of the slate for the year 1890.
He said he expected to vote for every
item in the bill. lie believed that he could
do so conscientiously. He believed that
the Increase on the taxable property of the
s’.ate would allow this money to bo appro
priated without increasing the taxes one
cent.
Mr. Davis of Burke favored making the
appropriations. Ho wanted the cause of
education to advance. Georgia should.re
lieve herself of the imputation of being
the banner state of illiteracy. He wanted
the shackles of ignorance knocked from
the wrists of Qeorgia, and the way to do
this was to appropriate money for all
branches of education. He thought that
money spent in support of the Uchool of
Technology would be the best investment
Georgia ever made.
A wives FOR LEGISLATIVE DACKDOSIS
He concluded by expressing the hone
that the legislature would have the back
bone to vote money to dispel ignorance
from the people of Georgia, and raise her
people to a higher standard of civilization.
Mr. Tignor of Muscogee was in favor of
making the appropriations asked for in
the bill. In his opining it was money well
spent. He regarded the establishment ol
the School of Technology the most im
portant thing that Georgia has done inher
history. , _ ,
Air. Humphrey: nf Brooks offered an
amendment to strike out $18,wo atm in
sert $12,000, as the appropriation lor the
School of Technology, if this amend
ment was not accented, he would vote
against the whole bilL
GLENN FAVORS TnE BILL.
Mr. Glenn of Whitfield made an argu
ment in favor of the bill. He believed
that it was perfectly constitutional to vote
the money. , _
On motion of Mr. Mathews of Houston,
ilio committee dissolved, amt when the
House had been organized Mr. Mathews
moved that when the committee meet
again that a vote be taken upon the sec
tion by paragraphs. The motion was
adopted, and the committee then re-con

year 1S90.
Mr. Candler offered as a substitute the
amendment proposed by hnn appropriating
$250,000 for the maintenance ot the com
mon schools of the 6tate for the year 1889,
and the further snm of $500,0d0 for the
support of the common schools ol thestate
for the year 1890.
The committee then dissolved and the
the House, upon reorganization, adjourned
Afternoon Session.
The House met at 2:30 and at once con
vened in session of a committee of the
whole for the pit,pose of resuming the
consideration oi the general appropriation
biil.
Mr. Fleming offered an amendment to
the amendment introduced by Mr. Cand
ler, providing for art appropriation of
$200,000 for the year 1889 and $500,000
for the year 1890, for common schools,
which provided that the money should
come out of tho surplus in the treasury or
out of any money not otherwise appropri
ated.
Mr. Arnheim of Dougherty opposed this,
contending that the money’ to meet these
demands could not be raised without in
creasing the rate of taxation. He con
cluded his remarkBby offering a substitute
that the amounts appropriated for common
school purposes in 1889 be $166,000 and
for the year 1890 $330,000.
TAXATION WILL NOT BE INCREASED.
Mr. Fleming of Kichmond and Mr.
Candler of DeKalb, insisted that they de
sired to adhere to the present rate of taxa
tion as fixed by the ways and means com
mittee. They stated that the appropria
tions contemplated could he made without
necessarily increasing the rate, but that
out of an abundance of caution they were
willing to support any proriso like the
one supported by themselves. They then
accepted the amounts named by Mr. Arn
heim.
Mr. Harrell of Webster urgld that this
appropriation was not contemplated in the
tax act, and that the proposition made
could not be carried out without an in
crease of the rate of taxation.
COMMON SCHOOL APPROPRIATION.
Mr. Arnheim expressed a willingness to
vote for an appropriation of $165,000 for
common school purposes for 1889, and
$330,000 for the same purpose in 1890.
The substitute was adopted as a settle
ment of the troublesome question and the
paragraph passed.
The hour of adjournment then arrived,
at which time the committee disbanded;
after "which the House then reorganized
and adjourned nntil 7:30 p. in., under the
resolution passed at the morning session.
Thursdays Session. *
The House of Bepresentatives today ap
propriated $500,000 for the common
school of Georgia and. the bill will go
through the Senate. This commits the
state to an annual appropriation for the
public schools, and is looked upon by the
friends of the common schools as a great
victory.
The House met at 9 o’clock this morn-
t of Kichmond opened the
session by ABlrodqcjpg two bills, one
pruviding for the completion ot the roster
of Confederate soldiers, and the other tt
accept the appropriation of 515,000 made
by congress for the establishment of an
experimental agricultural college in Geor
gia.
Mr. Gholsten of Madison introduced a
bill to incorporate the Hitchcock academy,
and Mr. Atkinson of Coweta another to
extend the city limits of Kewnan.
JN OQJtVITCEK-OF THE WHOLE.
The House then convened in committee
of the whole for the purpose of resuming
the consideration ol the sppropriatiens
bill.
The remaining sections of the bill were
read and the report ol the committee con
curred in.
The action of the committee was then
reported to the House. •
Mr. Felton of Bartow called the previous
question on the passage of the bill, which
was voted down.
Mr. Harrell of Webster then offered the
amendment that he failed to pass In the
committee of the whole, providing for
striking out all of the fifth section, which
contained the items appropriating money
for the 8chool of Technology anil for the
support of the branch colleges at Dah-
lonega, Milledgerille and Thontasville,
and also to strike out the amendhnent to
the section appropriating (165,000 for the
support of the common schools of the state
for the year 1889, and $330,000 for the sup
port of the common schools for the year
1890.
IIARRKLT* CHARGES WIRE WORKING.
Mr. Harrell got the floor and again
made an assault upon the manner in which
the money of the state had been appro
priated. He said that there was an un
derstanding between the friends of these
former institutions that they were to stand
together. The School of Technology could
no more get 88 votes for the appropriation
of this money singly and alone than he
could take wings and fly.
He believed that some sort of trade had
been gone into between the friends of the
School of Technology and the branch col
leges. He referred to the personnel of the
appropriations committee, and stated that
it was a strange fact that all of the branch
colleges sought to be benefited were repre
sented on the committee by members from
the counties in which they were located.
iuu> AT
The gentleman from Bartow (Felton;
was one of the champions of the School of
Technology. The reason of this was he
had a son in that school, and by appropriat
ing money for Jthe maintenance ol this in
stitution he could have his eon educated
at the expense of the state.
Ho concluded his remarks by statiug
that the House had gone wild upon the
subject of appropriating money, and had
scattered it broadcast over the state in a
reckless manner.
Mr. Howell of Fulton said that he was
tired of hearing discussion on this bill.
The gentleman from Webster (Harrell)
bad spoken four times on this measure,
and had each time gotten more bitter in
his remarks, unti 1 aUast he had made an
as-ault upon the honor and integrity of
certain members of the Hou-e charging
them with having bartered their princi
ples for the narpose of -eeoring plunder,
tie cal'ed forth* previous question.
Mr. .ell* n < I Meriwether arose, as he
stated, "To ii.ske •> startling Bttnounce-
Millegerille’s

iioesliou.
insisted on the
and that voting money to these college
was to encourage monopolies.
THINGS WERE CONFUSED.
At this juncture a lively scene was en
acted. Mr. Sneltson wanted to be heard,
several members were making points of
order, and the speaker was pounding his
gavel energetically to secure order.
Mr. Snellson, after some tronble, was
squelched and the vote was called on the
previous question on a motion made by
Mr. Howell of Fulton. The call was sm-
tained by a vote of yeas 81, nays 76.
.Mr. Bankin of Gordon moved to lay the
bill on the table, which motion was lost.
The question was then on the adoption
of the amendment proposed by Mr.
Howell, and upon this Mr. Felton of Bar
tow, acting chairman of the committee on
appropriations, was allowed twenty
minutes.
MR. FELTON TO MR. HARRELL.
Mr. Felton stated that the gentleman
from Webster had charged bribery and
corruption upon the members of the ap
propriations in recommending money for
these institutions. He was upon the floor
ot the Home as a Georgian, repreeentit g
the county of Bartow. He was here to
work for the best interests of Georgia. He
repelled the charge made by the gentle
man from Webster. It was an insult to
ererv member of the committee and to
etery friend of these institutions.
It was true that ho had a son at the
School of Technology, and he was proud
of the fact—proud that the state had such
a magnificent institution. The gentleman
from Webster had no son there; probably
it was becanse he did not have one.
The gentleman from Wei s’.er had
charged that because he and other mem
bers of the Houso were to some extent in
(rre-led in appropriating money for these
colleges they were not entitled to votj
upon ths bill.
SOME MATTERS RECALLED.
The geatlt man had not made this point
upon himself when the matter of voting
$ i per day to the members ef the general
assembly for their salaries was under con
sideration.
. He remembered when the bill to estab
lish a school of technology was before the
legislation the gentleman from Webster
was on the floor fighting the institution
until he had nearly exhausted his powers
of oratory and his skill as a parlia
mentarian. As a red flag waved in the
face of a bull would tend to madden and
enrage the animal, so would also a blue-
back spelling book waved in the face of
the gentlemen from Webster. The effect
would be tbe same.
At this juncture further consideration
of the measure was dispense-' with, the
hour of 12 m. having arrived, at which
hour Hon. J. L. M. Curry of Kichmond
had been invited to address the Senate
and House ia joint session in the House of
Representatives.
SYNOPSIS OF DR. CURRY’S ADDRESS.
At 12 o’clock today Hon. J. L. M.
Curry, president of the Peabody fund, de
livered «n tidres? anon the subject of
education. He was introduced to the as
sembly by President duBiguon ol the Sett
ate.
He reviewed the systemof public schools
in Georgia. He took the position that
the state should educate its children. It
was an undisputed fact that one-third of
ihe population oi Georgia was inil-rate.
4tino*Vie^onan.luttou,*flrtM>>Fd. to .the
present day no legislature Has ever voted
a siugl* cent of tax on the property of the
-late for education. He was glad to see
that the committee of the whole had
on yesterday voted to appropriate
money for educational purposes. He
believed that a new era had tiassned upon
Georgia’s prosperity, and that the education
of the masses was a debt that the people of
:be country owed to the masses. If you
want immigration, build up your schools.
The public education of all under a stale
!«ho?l Commission, wit?. his opinion, a
superior way to get at the Classes than un
der a private school systems There were
many reasons wliy this was so.
A NORMAL eCHOOL ADVOCATED.
He advocated the establishment in
Georgia of a normat school for ths educa
tion of teachers. The school should stand
separate and alone awl not tacked on to
some other institution, and if this was
done, he, as the president of the Peabody
fund, would come to the assistance of such
an enterprise with a very liberal hand. He
was strongly in favor of national aid for
educational purposes. The government
should educate the people that they had
emancipated.
A RESOLUTION OP THANKS.
At the conclusion*of the address by Mr.
Curry, Mr. Bradwell of the Second offered
a resolution returning thanks to Mr. Curry
for his very able address.
Mr. Patterson of Bibb amended thereto-
Iution by adding, and that the Hou-e be
requested to authorize the publication of
6,000 copies lor distribution. The resolu
tion as amended was adopted.
The joint session was then dissolved,
after which the House adjourned at 1:46
o’clock p. m. to meet again at 2:30 o’clock
p. m.

REPORT OP TIIK COMMITTEE.
The report presented by Chairman Blanch
ard, accompanying the river and harbor
bills, say that the estimates of engineer
ofiicers, upon which the bill was based, ag
gregate $36,012,250 and that tlie appropria
tions made are in each case for the continua
tion of the projects already begun. The
report says:
The purpose for which appropria
tions of the character embraced
in the bill are made is an entirely proper
and legitimate one, taking into con
sideration the number and extent ot oar
waterways and the enormous value of com
merce created by .and dependent upon them.
An annual allotment of even $20,000,000 per
year would be a comparatively moderate
sum for a country of the continental dimen
sions and limitless resources of the United
duties to expend upon their improvements.
SOME PROVINCIAL EDITORS.
The objection to tlie river and lurbor bills
urged by a portion of the public press of tlie
country, your committee conceive to be
bn*»eil largely upon editoriul provincialism;
that earcievMK’s.’f and a want of knowledge
umi .vuuditiuns of other localities
than thefr own. So** far'as th« peo
ple themselves are concerned, your
committee is satisfied that there
h no bill before congress that embodies more
popular interest and urgency and gives more
{euerul satisfaction than the bill for the care
tnd improvement of our harbors and water
way*
While it may nu true that bow and then
m objectionable appropriation creapn it,;.,
inch bills, upon the whole the actual propor
tion of objectionable items is really very
miall. The value ofagiveu improvement
has no direct relation to its magnitude or
cost. The ooening of a comparatively small
stream or cnanuel entrance may be of as
great importance to the commuaity inter
ested in and to be aflccted by it as a vastly
gtfater QR9 tp sotue other,
MSttFITfi OP WATER NAVEOATION.
With the opening of water navigation
freights are reduced and the railroad* are
forced to be reasonable ia their charges,
trade improves, production increases, all be-
ausea few thouxuml dollars were expended
n dredging away a bar at themouthof a
stream. The people of such a neighborhood
can never be convinced that the money was
unwisely appropriated, nor will they object
to a similar expenditure elsewhere. Glas
gow would be a fishing village had not the
Clyde been dredged. The foreign commerce
of the Missisiippi valley depends unon open
ing the mouth of the river and keeping it
open. Nor does custom house rating estab
lish the character of an improvement. Do
ineatie commerce outweighs many times for
eiga trade, and dors nut need to pay custom
luties to prove its value or national char
aettr.

INVESTIGATING IIIItHINUU.YM’g KIOV
Major Thompson Testtnee that tho Crowd
Intended to Tnlte the Jail.
Birmingham, Ala.. Dec. 13.—The
coroner’s jury today began investigating the
shooting nt the connty jail on Saturday
night last. Mayor Thompson was the only
witness examined. He testified that the
crowd continued to advanced on the jail
after repeated warnings given by himself,
tlie sheriff and many others. The crowd
made many threats and he believed
they were in carnsst. lie heard considera
ble talk of using dynamite. Couldn't tell
whether the first shot was fired by the
ofiicers or the crowd. lie hnd given orders
to hold the jail at all hazards, "lie did not
call out the military because he believed tlie
civil anthorities could bold the jail ami was
opposed to the uso of military only as a last
resort.
Mayor Thompson said he hnd intended to
bring a force of offioers ont of jad nud make
an attempt to drive the crowd back from
the alleyway leading to ths entrance, bnt got
cut off from the jail and could not get back.
The investigation will be resumed tomor
row. The troops have all left the city anti
only a small force of depntj sherifls is now
guarding the jail. All is quiet.

From the Philadelphia Record.
In view of the fact that more than
5.300,000 voters cast their ballots for
Cleveland and Thurman—marly or qnito
100,000 more than voted for Harrison and
Morton—why Bhould democrats give up
the battle for tax reduction and tariff re
form? And why should not republicans,
it they really respect the will of the ma
jority, attemper their legislation with
compromise in defierence to popular de
mand?

So frays llrowiio of ludintm—Senator Sher
man and tho Cabinet.
Washington, Dec. 12.—[Special.]—Mr.
Browne of Indiana, a republican member of
the ways and means committee, and a can
didate for the speakership, is quoted as say
ing: “1 think that there will be a consider:!
bit reduction of the accumulating surplus
thin session. 1 do not think there is any
nrospect of the Senate tar.:,
hill going through the nouse.
What 1 am very certain will be done,
is that on some suspension day the House
will pass a hill repealing the tobacco tax,
enacting the free list of the Senate bill, an i
maybe a few other things to which there i*
no objection. I expect a bill of this sort re
ducing the revenue about will
become a law this session. This will oh
viate the necessity for aspring session.”
SHERMAN AND TIIK CABINET.
.Vr. .Sherman made his most significant
cabinet Btatauicul today follows: “There
is not the slightest foundation for the story
now going the rounds of the press to the
efleet that I would refuse to accept a posi
tion in President Harrison's cabinet, became
1 would be succeeded by Governor Foraker.
The possibility of my seat in the Senate
being occupied by Governor Foraker will
not weigh one hair in connection with my
going uto the State Department.”
