JAS. F! BROWN. Epitok.
The Tariff Bill.
Owing to the illness of Mr. Mills,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee, the tariff hill was
not formally reported to the House un
til Monday last, and it will probably be
taken up for discussion on the 16th ult.
It is not likely that the discussion will
be finished before the middle of May,
as the Republicans will use every
means to obstruct the measure, with
the hope of eventually preventing its
passage. A well-posted Washington
correspondent thinks there is a
strong probability of an agree
ment between tho revenue reform
Democrats of the House and the
Louisiana delegation on the sugar sched
ule. It is not unlikely that a basis of
compromise will be reached on a gener
al cut of 20 per cent, in sugars. Should
this compromise be adopted the bill
will be five votes stronger in the House.
The big fight will he on the wool sched
ule, for upon that there can be no shift-
dodging or compromising, for the
the success of the party. The
ing items are specimens of the hard
licks that the Telegraph is putting in
on this line, and a fair sample of the
argument that is found in every issue
of that excellent paper:
The sugar trust has just declared a
dividend at the rate of 18 per cent, on
the capital invested. As the price ot
refined sugar has been advanced one
and a quarter cents, while raw sugar
has declined, the dividend uoes not,
perhaps, represent all the profits, but
a snug sum was probably put aside for
use where it will do the most good.
In 1807 when a high tariff was put
upon wool, the sheep in the State of
Iowa were valued at $2,084,4<6, and
there were eighty-five woolen factories.
Twenty years of protection reduced
the assessed value of sheep to $27<,489,
and the number of woolen mins to
thirty-four. It is the contemplation of
such results as these that makes Iowa
Republicans dissatisfied with their par
ty policy. ___________
and Ar-
ing,
free wool and woolen reductions are
the head, foot and body of the meas
ure, stripped of which, according to the
Administration view, it would be no
tariff reduction bill at all, but simply a
makeshift. If the wool part of the bill
can squeeze through, the bill can pass
the House.
Revenue reform managers have been
engaged for some days in a thorough
canvass of the House. They claim 143
unwavering Democratic votes for the
Mills bill. In addition they claim An
derson, of Iowa; Nichols, of North Car
olina; Hopkins, of Virginia, and Smith,
of Wisconsin, four labor men or inde
pendents, and the following four Re
publicans: John Lind and Knute Nel
son, of Minnesota; A. P. Fitch, of New
York, and G. W. E. Dorsey, of Nebras
ka.
Tho following is a list of Democratic
protection members who are counted
with Mr. Randall against the bill: Cali
fornia, T. L. Thompson, Marion Biggs;
Illinois, Frank Lawler; New Jersey,
James N. Pidcock, William McAdoo;
Mew York, Peter P. Mahoney, Archi
bald M. Bliss, William G. Stahlnecker,
Edward W. Greei.man; Ohio, GeorgeE.
Seney, S. S. Yoder, James E. Campbell,
Beriah Wilkins, Martin A. Foran, Jo
seph H.Outhwaite; Pennsylvania, Sam
uel J. Randall, Daniel Ermentrout,
William II. Snowden; South Carolina,
George D. Tillman. Total, 19.
The Louisiana sugar delegation con
sists of six members, namely, Wilkin
son, Logan, Gay, Blanchard, Newton,
and Robertson. If the sugar compro
mise is effected they will all vote for
the hill, otherwise the only votes from
the delegation will be two—those of
Mr. Blanchard and Mr. Newton. Of
the list of Randallites, it is expect
ed by the revenue reformers that he
will lose five, if not six, out of the nine
teen.
The following is the summary: Whole
number of Democratic voters, 168; nec
essary for bill, 163; number of Demo
crats for bill, 153; Independents, 4 ; Re
publicans, 4; doubtful Randallites, 6;
total, 157.
Of these doubtful Randallites there
are two from New York, two from
Pennsylvania and two from Ohio. Thus
it will be seen that the votes of the six
sugar men will give just the requisite
number of votes to insure its passage,
tt will also be noticed that in the above
estimate the canvasser has counted the
Congressional Democratic delegation
from Ohio solid against the bill. They
(consider, on the whole, that the situa
tion is encouraging for the passage of
the bill.
The Hampton correspondent of the
Henry County Weekly gives the follow
ing lurid description of a Butts county
squall, which was witnessed by a for
mer resident of this county:
“Elder Harrison Jones witnessed a
fearful cyclone in Butts county, Mon-
day, while returning from an appoint
ment down there. At one house he saw
it blow a lion out of her feathers, and
left the feathers on the roost a-cackling.
At another place it blew all the dogs
out of the yard over the fence—but we
won’t mention any of the big things
that he witnessed; they might sound
impossible.”
We are glad Bro. Jones escaped tho
sad fate of the hen.
The Southern Alliance, of \V est
Point, gives the following good advice:
Our neighbors, LaGrange, Newnan,
Griffin and Opelika, are all about set
tled upon having cotton factories.
Right you are, neighbors. Don’t hoard
your money, but follow the example of
West Point, and put your money out in
industrial enterprises where it will do
the most good. We shall rejoice to see
the dav when every town in the South
has at least one cotton mill, and there
is not a town in the Soutli where a cot
ton mill, properly managed, will not
pay handsomely.
To the Friends of Temperance.
At a recent meeting of the Execu
tive Committee of the Georgia Temper
ance Association, a convention of the
same was called to meet in Atlanta,
at 10 o’clock A. m. on Wednesday,
April 25th.
It is made my duty, by that call, to
endeavor to have each county in the
Fourth Congressional District repre
sented in said convention. Permit
me, therefore, to urge the friends of
temperance in each county thereof to
meet and send delegates to the State
Convention. Each county will be en
titled to double the number of dele
gates that it has representatives in the
Lower House of the General Assem
bly.
Let none be indifferent. The move
ment in which we are engaged is cer
tainly a great one. It is for the high
est interest of humanity; and behind it
is the power ol God, for it was bom of
His spirit. Alvan D. Freeman,
Member Ex. Com. 4th Cong. Dist.

The Soldiers’ Reunion.
The reunion of Confederate soldiers
to be held in our city on Saturday, July
31st» promises to be the biggest affair
of the kind ever held in the State. No
less than ten thousand people will be
present, and of course there will be an
abundance of good things to eat, and
plenty “Pearl Spring” water to drink,
There may be other liquid refresh
ments, but this being a dry county they
are not apt to appear on the regular
bill of fare.
It is expected that Gen. J. B. Gor
don, Gen. Joe Johnston, Gen. James
Longstreot, Gen. C. A. Evans, and oth
er distinguished Confederate soldiers,
will be present. Our noble old county,
which furnished the first company in the
late war, and had more soldiers enlisted
in the Confederate cause than any oth
er county in the State in proportion to
population, cannot afford to be content
with anything short of a grand success.
Old Coweta will expect every son and
daughter to come fully up to their du
ty in making the 21st of July not only
an occasion of enjoyment to all who
may attend, but an event that will he
memorable in the history of the coun
ty. There must be no stint of hospi
tality and no relaxation of effort or in
terest on the part of her gallant sons
and daughters if this result is accom
[ilished.
All hands to tho wheel, now, and let
us push this thing to a grand success.
Meeting of the County Democratic Ex
ecutive Committee.
The Democratic Executive Commit
tee of Coweta county met in Newnan
on Tuesday, April 3d, pursuant to a call
issued by the chairman.
R. W. Freeman, chairman, being ab
sent, nominated Jas. E. Brown as
his proxy. The appointment was rati
fied by the committee and Mr. Brown
acted as chairman pro tem.
The following members were pres
ent:
First district—J. F. Methvin.
Fourth district—A. B. Brown.
Cedar Creek district—T. N. Byram.
Panther Creek district—E. S. Daniel.
Hurricane district—J. H. Summers.
Grantville district—Geo. A. Carter.
U. B. AVilkinson, being a member of
the State Democratic Committee, was
invited to participate in the delibera
tions of the committee.
On motion, R. B. Perkins of Turin
district was elected a member of the
committee, in place of G. F. Hunni-
cutt, resigned.
H. A. Martin, committeeman from
the Second district, being absent, and
the committee having received infor

THE APRIL. MAGAZINES.
The April number of the Century
closes the thirty-fifth half-yearly vol
ume. The first article is by Edward
L. Wilson, the well-known pliotograh-
er, and is descriptive of the natural and
other features of Palestine “From Dan
to Beersheeba.” The article has a
great number of illustrations, mainly
from photographs. Theodore Roose
velt describes, with the aid of Mr. Rem
ington’s well-informed pencil, that de
ciuedly American institution “The
Roundup.” As Mr. Roosevelt and Mr.
Remington have both participated in
scenes such as are here depicted, the
paper is unusually vivid both in letter-
press and in illustrations. Among the
poems of the number are “Thiefs of
the Morning,” by Edith M. Thomas ;
an illustrated dialect poem, “Marse
Phil,” by Thomas Nelson Page, and
the last poem written by Emma Laza
rus, which is addressed to “Carmen
Sylva,” and is an appeal to the Queen
of Roumania in behalf ol the oppressed
Israelites of that country. An illustra
ted article on “The American Inven
tors of the Telegraph,” tells the inside
story’of the invention, especially bring
ing out the services rendered to the
enterprise by Alfred Vail.
The April issue of the Eclectic Maga
zine surpasses; in the variety and inter
est of its contents, the general average
of the magazine. Prof. Huxley’s open
ing paper on “The Struggle of Exis
tence,” is a brilliant application of the
evolutionary theory, put with all the
literary art of this great scientific au
thority. H. D. Traill contributes a
most suggestive article in “The Evolu-.
tion of Humor,” which can be read
more than once with benefit. G. Mon-
od writes about “Contemporary Life
and Thought in France” with much
freshness and knowledge of inside facts.
An article, which will De read with no
little interest, is entitled “The Ascent
of Mind,” by Herbert Junius Hard-
wicke, M. D. Address E. R. Pelton, 25
Bond street, New York.
cy
Messrs. Perkins and Walthall being
E resent, were duly qualified as mem-
ers of the committee.
The chairman stated the object of
the meeting, which was to designate
the manner of selecting delegates to
the State Convention, to meet in At
lanta on the »th prox. for the purpose
of electing delegates to the National
Democratic Convention.
U. B. Wilkinson made a motion that
a mass meeting of the county Democra
cy be called on the first Tuesdav in
May, in Newnan, to -select- four dele
gates and four alternates to the State
Convention, and for the further pur
pose of selecting a new County Exec
utive Committee.
A. B. Brown offered a substitute for
the motion, providing that the county
convention be composed of ten dele
gates from each militia district, to be
chosen by primary election in the sev
eral districts.
The substitute was adopted.
On motion of J. H. Summers it was
ordered that each militia district hold
an election on Saturday, April 21st, at
2 o’clock P. M., at which time ten dele
gates from each district shall be chosen
as herein provided.
On motion, the county papers were
requested to publish these proceed-
The Weekly Evening Post.
The New York Evening Post will be
gin, on the third of May, to issue a
weekly edition, having for its princi
pal aim the promotion of revenue re
form, which nas become the paramount
issue in national politics. The existence
of an actual surplus in the Treasury
estimated to reacn $140,000,000 on the
30th of June. 1888, and the further in
crease thereof under present laws, are
a menace to all business interests, and
a direct incentive to wastefulness and
corruption in the appropriations of
public money. The attention of the
people having been strongly drawn to
this subject by the President in his last
annual message, the need of information
and popular enlightenment on questions
of revenue and taxation has been in
creasingly felt in all parts of the coun
