MILLIONS FOR TENSIONERS.
CHEADLE OF INDIANA ADVOCATE8THE
SERVICE PENSION BILL.
Say* the Total Cowl to tlio People Will
Ue Only About kCTS,000,000-
('leuienta Arraign* tl»e Ilepiibli*
cans for the Pension Policy.
Washington, March 21. —Immediately
after the reading of the journal the
House went intocommittee of the whole,
Mr. Burrows of Michigan in the chair,
ou the pension appropriation hill.
Mr. Cheadle of Indiana spoke at
length in favor of service f tension law*
He explained the provisions of the bill
authorizing a serrico pension for life to
every veteran over 50 of years ago, who
served sixty days and was honorably dis
charged. Under the general law all in-
▼slid pensioners who receive loss than $8
per month nnd all who receive no pen
sion, will be beneficiaries under it. Those
who draw less than $3 per month can
surrender tiieir invalid (tensions, ifjoverpo
years old, and take service. The service
pension bill could become a law and tho
expense of tho Invalid and serv
ice pensions could ho met
without levying 1 cent of
additional taxes upon tho country. The
total expense of tho service pension law
would not exceed $648,000,00°. ^ Che ad
ditional pension expenses, should tho bill
bscomo a la'V, for tho loxt fiscal year
would not exceed Ml,c00,000. 1 suppose
tho high water qiark of (tension expense
should reach $130,000,000 a year and
continue seven years. Speaking for him
self, he would oppose every material re
duction of tho revenues except upon
sugar, and every material revision of the
tariff and revenue schedules, until his
comrades should have received tho pen
sion recognition promised them.
CLEMENTS WONDERS WHY TANNER Blj
• SIGNED.
Mr. Clemente of Georgia said that
after listening to tho speeches of the
gentlemen on the other side he was in
clined to wonder why Commissioner
Tanner had been requested to resign.
The gentleman from Kansas i Peters) lmd
justified the action of Tanner in putting
upon the pension rolls those who had

Dahlonega, March 21.—(Special.]—
Tho citizens of Dahlonega are enthusi
astic over tho favorable prospects of a
railroad being built to pass through here
TORN FROM THEIR HOMES.
FOUR ELBERT CITIZENS DRAGGED TO
ATLANTA BY FEDERAL OFFICERS.
Tho corps of engineers have reachsd
here from Lula junction, which ia to be
tho junction of the now road with the
Richmond and Danville. From Lula it
is to run by way of Dahlonega and Daw-
sonviile and tap tho Marietta and North
Georgia at Tate.
Tho marble men at Tate are Interested
in the enterprise. Tho shipping facilities
afforded by the Marietta and North
Georgia fare inadequate to the demand,
and the marble men, wanting » morn
direct and lietter outlet, are determined
to seo that the new line is built.
NUGGETS ON THE PUBLIC SQUARE.
It seems strauge that this available
route has not been utilized before this
time. People who have not visited this
section have no just idea of its resources.
I laltlonegu’s public square is one of the
'chest gold mines in the slate. After
ashing rains nuggets aro often picked
(«. A rich gold vein runs directly
through Mount Hope cemetery. The
iron beds around hero have been pro
nounced good in quality and almost in
exhaustible in quantity. Then there are
thousands of acres of almost unbroken
valuable timber lands that sell for the ri
diculous sum, often, of 50 cents an acre.
With a road, all these resources would
developed, and would result in incal
culable Ixmeilt to the iiuaicdiate section
ad great good to the entire state. It
ould place the town in communication
ith portions of the state from which
are now practically isolatod.
ENTHUSIASTIC RAILROAD MEETING.
An enthusiastic meeting was hod by
the citizens Wednesday night and a
grand festival will be given tho engineers
and officials Friday night. Everybody
scents to be at work and clannishness is
forgotten.
Dahlonega is pleasantly situated near
the hose of the main Blue Ridge c
plateau m arly 24,000 feet above tbo
level, and is a town of 800 or 1,000.
Tho North Georgia Agricultural Col
lege is here. No institution so recently
f^tahlisliMl has done more good than this
college. There is a class of brilliant and
deserving but poor young men who
come hero to school. And some of the
merchant princes send their sons horo in
rreferent* to othor places on account of
its pure moral atmosphere.
Dahlonega ought to lie connected with
Macon by railroad. It would be tho
binding together of one of tbe richest
nnd leaat developed sections of tho coun
try and ono of tho most enterprising
cities.

United States deputy marshals arrived
hefo to-day from Fiber ton with W. P.
Clarke, W. B. .Clarke, J. H. Mattox and
P. H. IJam in custody.
These young men are among the best
citizens of Elbert county end their
has caused a sensation in tho neighbor
hood.
They are cliarged with whipping W. P.
Henry, a white man, for voting the re
publican ticket in the last presidential
cle.'tinn.
And tho people of F.lbert regard the
prosecution as a case of political persecu
tion.
The formal chsrgo entered upon the
books by the district court clsrk ns
against the men is "conspiracy."
HENRY’S FLOP TO REPUBLICANISM.
It seems that Henry was the first man
who ever voted tho straight republican
ticket in Elbert county. He voted for a
negro candidate for congress against the
white candidate. This was galling to
the public spirit of the county, but it is
reliably stated that Henry was allowed
to vote in pcuce and that no row sprang
up until afterward.
When it did ho got the worst of it.
That is to say if there was a row, and
there may have been, but that will be
shown upon the trial.
It is pretty well known that after
Henry had voted a discussion ou tho
merits of the case arose between him and
other citizen?.
THE CASE IN THE COURTS.
In March ot lost year Mattox and Ham
and the two Clarkes were indicted by
tlio local grand jury and tried before
Elbert superior court. They were ac
quitted.
Tbe federal gram! jury also fully in
vestigated the caso the following Sep
tember, but failed to find true bills. At
the next session of the same grand jury
the matter was resurrected after it waa
supposed to have been finally settled, and
bills found against all the parties con
earned.
After being brought to Atlanta to-day
the prisoners were placed under bonds
of I1.0C0 each, which they promptly

Dun A Co. Nay (In* Outlook Is Not En
tirely Flattering.
New York, March 2!.—R. G. Dun &
Co.’a weekly review of trade says: The
business of to-day is large, but the signs
are not sntirely flattering us to the busi
ness of to-morrow. Another belated
fragment of winter, whieh would have
been welcomed in January, came just
in time to disturb trade a little, but the
volume of business is indisputably larger
than in any previous year at this’season,
lire tonnage shipped eastward by rail
from Chicago continue* larger than
ever. The railroad earnings thus far
reported for March exceed those of any
previous year. Tbs bank clearings at
New York show a gain over last
year of 3j per cent; at Boston, Philadel
phia and Chicago of 12 per cent, and at
aH other oities of 11 per cent All signs
prove that the actual shrinkage of con
sumption^ confined to a few;line» only,
principally those affected directly by the
absence of winter, biit that in other
branches the consumption is larger than
at any former time.
' THE DANOF.il TO' 1EON.
In some cases as in iron the only diffi
culty or danger comes from the fact that
consumption, clearly the largest over
known, is probably surpassed by pro
duction far beyond all records. The re-
(*>rU from every part of the country
represent trade as fairly satisfactory.
Tho complaints of slow* collections
are more general. These who labored so
long to convince themselves that the

CoL A. U Harris, inure irreverently

NO XKQRO PROBLEM.
There U no race problem. It was
solved during the reconstruction period,
when Georgia was admitted into tbe
union.
When congress accepted tbe consti
tution of Georgia as republican in form
and admitted her s mat or* and repre
sentative*, it gave Georgia her sovereign
righto over tbe negro as well u the
white man. Congress now has no more
right to legislate on the negro question
than it has to legislate on the Jew, the
Irish or any other such question. The
negro*-*cannot be interfered with unteie
they violate the Uw, and the speeches
made in congress on the race question
are untimely and detrimental to the in
terrnto of the country."

Mr. Peter Culp of East Athens has
filed k suit against tho Athene Manu
facturing Company for $3,000 damages.
Mr. Culp claims that by raising th* dam
on Trail creek the compiay have caused
in spite of tho unprecedented output
now admit that prices are lower and the
market unsettled end close oo demorali
zation. Offers of Southern iron are the
obvious cause. No. 1 at $8.25 hero aud
gr.iy forgo at $10.53. Lower price* by 25
to 60 cents per ton are made at Pittsburg
with $1 lower for rails, $2 lower for blooms
and billets, and manufactured iron
weak. The fact of greatest significance
repeatedly noted hero has been the slack
ening in the demand for finished pro
ducts, and some concessions are now
made in Eastern markets oo rails
billets there are few sellers and
buyers, and the bar mills are running
short of orders.
BUYERS VERY CAUTIOUS.
In genoral, consumption ie larger than
a year ago, but clearly shows a reaction
from the great rush of lost fall. In dry
goods tbe prevailing feature ie tho ex
treme caution of tho buyers, except from
the South, which does a larger business
than ever, but the state of trade
on tho whole U not encourag
ing. _ Another important failure comet
at a time when the banks had begun to
seek commercial paper more freely.
Importers aro rushing in goods in antici
pation of a change of tariff, but in drees
goods it Is between seasons. In men's
woolens, trade is limited and many mills
are not supplied with orders, and in cot
tons, while sales are in fair volume, the
present high price of material affects
profits.
The monetary situation has changed

other, tho treasury having found
means to pay out during

Washington, March 21.—In the Sen
ate to-day Mr. Ransom, referring to
yesterday's vote on the Blair bill, said
tliat there had been some confusion
about it, that he should bavobeon paired
ms in favor of tho bill, and that Casey,
with whom he was paired, opposed tbe
bilL
Mr. Plumb, from tlie committee on
appropriations, reported back to the
House the joint resolution authorizing
the appointment of thirty medical ex
aminers for the bureau of pensions, and
gave notieo that ho would ask the Sen
ate to consider it to-morrow.
Mr. Casey said that the report was by
no means unauimous, and gave notice
that he would move to amend the joint
resolution by striding out the clause
allowing the examination to be within
the discretion and under the direction of
the Secretary of tho Interior, leaving the
appointments under the civil service law,
to which the Republican potty stood sol
emnly pledged.
On the motion of Mr. Sherman the bill
to declare unlawful trusts and comblna
turns in rostraint of trade and production
was taken up for consideration. Thu sub
stitute reported by Mr. Sherman from
the finance committee ou March 18 was
read, and also an amendment that was
offered by Mr. Reagan. »
Mr. Sherman addressed the Senate,
reading his argument from manuscript.
He declared that the bill did not inter
fere with any lawful business. It dealt
only with uuiawful combinations -such
combinations as were unauthorized by
any Uw of any civilized nation, ancient
or modern, and whose sole object
waa to control prices and to es
tablish substantial monopolies which
were injurious to the public and which
should be restrained by the courts. It
was that kind of combination which the
bill dealt with. He referred to the de
cisions of the siaCo courts of Ohio, Mich*
igau, Illinois and New York, in the cases
of tlie Standard Oil Company, tbe Dia
mond Match Company and sugar trust,
declaring such trusts null and void and
against public policy. These references
and quotations were, he said, to show
that in different states tbe courts did
decUre trusts and combinations in tho
states ss unlawful and void, and all that
tho pending bill proposed was toempower
the courts of the United States to deal
with these combinations affecting not
only Die several states but tbe entire
world.
All these combinations, ho said—fh*
cotton trust, tbe whisky trust, tlie sugar
si ler tlio rote of yesterday by which the
educational bill was rejai tod. and Mr.
Ingalls moved to lay that motion on tho
table. No action was taken.
A motion to adjourn over till Monday
waa opposed by Mr. bherman, who
wished to have action on tho anti-trust
bill to-morrow, and the motion was de*
fe&ud by ycaa 17. nay* 25.
Mr. Reagan addreesed the Senate on tho
anti-trust bill He hoped tliat the Sen
ate would adopt bis amendment, which
woull give the general government con
trol in awes where foreign commerce
was affected, leaving to state jurisdiction
cases wheio local trade and manufac
turers were bffected.
Mr. Allison replied to Mr. Vest’s argu
ment ns to tlie connection between high
duties and trusts, taking the grouud that
all crest combinations were practically
outside of the tariff and independent of
it lie would not admit that even the
sugar trust was dependent on the tariff.
Mr. Coke offered a substitute for the
bill and Mr. George offered an amend
ment both of which wero ordered
printed.
The bill then went over till Monday,
when it is to be unfinished busi
ness, and it wav ordered that tlie
session to-morrow shall be confined
exclusively to business on tlie calendar
under the eighth rule, bills unob-
jected to.
Under this arrangement a vote on Mr.
Ingalls’ motion to table Mr. Blair’s mo
tion of reconsideration cannot be taken
before Monday.
In announcing the poire of the Blair
bill yesterday the relative positions of
four senators were mlssta ed on the
floor. Quay and Ransom who were for
the bill were paired with Butler and
Casey who were against it. It was tho
reverse of this that was stated. After a
short executivo session the Senate ad
journed till to-morrow.

The Agricultural Committee IKeporta
[Conger** Bill Favorably.
Washington, March 21.—The com
mittee on agriculture to-day reported fa
vorably to tho House, with amendments,
the Conger bill defining "lord" and Im
posing a tax upon and regulating tbo
manufacture, etc., of compound lord.
Tho rejort accompanying the bill says
the object* of tbe proposed legislation,
in addition to obtaining revenue, are:
First—To compel the branding of mix
tures compounded £of ingredients other
then lard, but made in the semblance of
and sold os lard, so that consumers may
to advised of the nature of tbs article
they purchase.
Second—To relieve the manufacturers
of pure lard of unfair competition of on
imitation article made of cheaper ingre
dients and sold at lower prictSb
Third—To relieve to some extent tbe
existing depression in tht farming in
dustry, caused in part by the displace
ment of a large and increasing amount
of pure fat of the hog by a spurkm* sub
stitute put on tbe market under the
name and brand of the genuine article.

tions in restraint of trade and produc
tion would not he tolerated.
At tbe dose of Mr. Sherman's speech.
Mr. Ingalls gave notice of an amendment
whichhe would offer to th* MIL Tbe
amendment was read and ordered printed.
It ii NMMikVF the Bntterworth bill
to regulate dealings in options or futures,
now pending in the House.
On motion of Mr. Khcrman, it waa
ordrrvd that the substitutes reported
from the finance committee shall be
>!»*> led ia tlm bill,
and so the amendments proposed by
Reagan and lags Us are to bs treated as
amendment* in tbe first and scooted de-
grew
Mr. Vest then addressed the Senate.
No one, he said, could exaggerate the im
portance of the subject or the feeling
that existed against trusts aU over tlw
country, but especially in the agricultu
ral districts, lie could have no contro
versy with tbe senator from Ohio, as to
th* enonpUy of th* abuses that bad
grown up under the system of trusts and
combination*, and be also agreed with
him that tliereshould.be no hypercritictsm
of the cooetltutiou in dealing with them.
But what was desired was one thing, and
what coukl be accomplished under the
automony of the government was
another tiling, snd he could not even in
tbe fees of tbe popular indignation
which would be visiudonsny one that
criticised a measure intended to destroy
the evil compUiued of, violate his oath
to support the constitution and violate
all the habitudes of thought which had
to him as a lawyer edu-
and trained in his pro-
Fot r onuses to pest

Of the .uMttUW, declaring bk halkf
that th* nipmn. court would immedi
ately throw it out of court.
Th. Senate bad boon tokl lart arealon
by Mr. Bherman that whvnarrr ha wa.
•.lulled that rocr.hinationa wen pro-
toeto-i by a high nrotaettra duty, ha
would b. in faror of reducing that duty,
and that, Mr. Veal aaid, waa tba real
remedy. Any other remedy, without
an amendment to tha cotutitutioo would
ha abaolutalT nugatory and ineffectual.
There trtute, u every intelligent
man knew, were protected^, tbe high
tariff and were enabled to
work their tnhjultoui purpurea under th.
huttreai affonkd by tb. tariff law. Th.
d.tute drifted into adkcureiouof tho
effect of high duties upon the rareteoc

"Now, boya; uli me the truth. Are
you brothers?"
And so, in spite of tbe demonstration
of oounectiou, the question was gravely
asked, was there say connection be
tween a trutt and tbe high protective
tariff. He hoped that some senator
would move to refer the bill to tb# jndi-
ciary committee, because it was a sub
ject so eUborato, so important, so over
whelming, that it should be approached
with the greatest caution and treated
ith the greaieit earn
character the same in both cam. One
bill applies to imitations of butter and
the other to imitations of lard.
Th* committee believes that no public
interest at this time presses with such
extreme urgency upon the attention of
congress for relief as the agricultural in
terest, the foundation of all our prosper
ity. The report conclude* with the state
ment that the compound lard trade as
carried on Is a stupendous commercial
fraud, which it is the duty of congress to
snnpreM. ,The amendment* mado to the
bill by the committee except "a substi
tute for lard" from compounds falling
within Its provisions, defining a whole
sale dealer as one who sells in park-
ages of not leee than fifty pound*,
reducing the retail spevuu tax
from $5 to $9 per annum, reducing
from two years to one year tbe term of
imprisonment pi escribed for selling com
pound lard in any except authorized
packages or under false brands, reduo-
ing from $1,000 to $501 the penalty lor

Wabmenton, March 21.—(Special 1—
On Thursday morning, near Camak, Mr.
Jssm J. Rkketsou put two bullets into a
negro employs'* thigh and teg for an at
tempt to take hie Ufa The Clipper of
to-dsy publishes the following account
of tbe affray:
Mr. Ricketson, who loat one of his
arms when a boy, went to the field to
carry some water to his bands, one of
which was a young white man. Cf
course he passed the water to him first
and then he offered it to the negro, who
refused it, saying he would not drink
after any wbtlo man.
Mr. luckrteoo paid little attention to
the muttering* and mouthing* of the ne
gro, but went on about his work. Thurs
day morning the nrgro wrnt into Mr.
Ricketaoo's kltcbrn to get bU breakfast
lie sat stout with his hat co, a thing he
had not been doing before, uu It Mr.
Ricketson asked him if he didn't think be
could take off his bat whin he entered a
white man's house. To this be received
a reply equally as insolent and provoking
aa the on* mode the previous day.
Mr. Ricketson raw that tbe negro was
bent on having a fuss sob# gathered his
pistol and started toward him intending
to giv* him a sound thrashing and drive
him off the place.
The negro seemed to read Mr. Ricket-
jn'e thoughts. Anyway he remained in
his postiun nntU Mr. Ricketson was
about ready to lay hands on him, when
suddenly he jerked from his pocket his
open knife and plunged it into Mr. Kick-
etson'a side and sprang to tb* uot*. Mr.
Ricketson realizing that he was cut,
turned and fired at nim twice, each ball
taking effect, one in the hip and the
other m the calf of th* leg. Mr. Ricket-
eon did not want to kill his aasailint,
he says, and would not have shot had he
not cut him. The wound in Mr. Bicket-
aoa'a s*d# is painful but not serious.
