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. Papers in the District please copy.

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 mation that he desired to resign, L. H. Walthall w T as elected to fill the vacan- 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 it is the intention of the manage ment to make a first-class weekly news paper of 12 pages.
