Hon. Cbas. F. Crisp is speaker
of the hou-s of representatives.
If Georgians dout get their portion
of the public patronage in number,
they make a good show in the im¬
portance of the few offices accorded
them.
The South Georgia Sentinel is a
new eight pace weekly published at
Cordele under the management of
Mr. T.J. Brooks as editor and pro¬
prietor. The Sentinel is one of the
brightest weeklies in South Geor¬
gia and will command a very liber¬
al patronage.
Wednesday was a memorable
day in the meat market of Chicago.
On that day meat i.nd lard lell al
most fifty per cent and caused the
failure of some of the largest oper¬
ator in the city. Somebody haB
been playing with edged tools and
very badly, as well very properly
cut.—Thomaston Times.
The Gazette is informed that
Sheriff Jesse Paulk of Iiwin county,
accidently got himself into the
clutches of the law last Sunday.
He attended church at the Brushy
Creek meeting house that day and
arrested a man who was drinking
and, in Jesse’s opinion disturbing
public worship. The man gave
bond and immi diatety swore out
a warrent against Jesse, charging
him with cruel treatment to a pris¬
oner. The preliminary hearing
was to have occur^d at Irwinville
last Monday, but we have not
heaid from it,whether it took place
wbat was the result.—Tifton
Gazette.
A word of explanation is due
our Sheriff. The Gazette state¬
ment is not absolutely incorrect
but should have been followed by
an explanation. The actii n of
Mr. Paulk in making the arrest
was approved by the best cititzens
of the county, as to the cruel treat¬
ment of the prisoner, there is no ev¬
idence to sustain such a charge. Mr.
Paulk was not legally ariested.

to congress.
It is n Voluminous One, and
Touches 011 the Financial Con¬
dition of the Country—
Honest Money, Tariff
Reform, Etc.
In-low we give a few paragraphs
from the latter portion of Mr.
Cleveland’s message to Congress,
and would be plea ed to publish
the entire message but our space
is limited.
ENTITLED TO SOUND MONEY.
The people of the U. S. ere en¬
titled to a sound and stable cur-
rency, and to money recognized as
such on every exchange and in ev¬
ery market of the world. Their
government has no right to injure
them by financial experiments op¬
posed to the policy and practice of
other civilized states, nor is it jus¬
tified in permitting an exaggerated
and unreasonable ieliance on our
national strength and ability to
jeopardize the soundness of the
people’s money, This matter
rises above the plane of party
politics.
VITALLY CONCERNS ALL BUSINESS.
It vitally concerns every busi¬
ness and calling and enteis every
household in the land. There is
one important aspect of the subject
which especially should never be
overlooked. At times,like present,
when the evils of unsound finance
thieaten us, the speculator may an¬
ticipate a harvest gathered from
the misfortune of others, The
capitalist may protect himself by
hoarding or may even find profit in
the fluctuation of values; but the
wage-earner—the first to be injured
by a depreciated currency and the
last to receive the benefit of its
correction—is practically defense¬
less.
He relies for woik upon the vent¬
ures oi confident and conter ted
capital. This failing him, his con¬
dition is without alleviation, for he
can neither prey on the misfort¬
unes of others nor hoard bis labor.
LABOR FEELS IT FIRST.
One of the greatest statesmen our
country has known, speaking more
than fifty years ago, when a de¬
rangement of the currency bad
caused commercial distress, said :
“The very man of all others who
has the deepest interest m a sound
currency and who suffers most by
mischievous legislation in money
matters, is the man who earnes his
daily bread by his daily toil.”
These words are as pertinent
now as on the day they were utter¬
ed, and ought to impressively re¬
mind us that a failure in the dis¬
charge of our duty at this time
must especially injure those of our
countrymen who labor, and who,
because of their number and condi¬
tion, are entitled to the most watch¬
ful care of their government. It is
of the utmost importance that such
relief as congress can afford in the
existing situation be afforded at
once. The maxim, “he gives twice
who gives quickly,” is directly ap¬
plicable.
It may be true that the embar¬
rassments from which the business
ol the country is suffering, arise as
much from evils apprehended, as
from thoge actually existing. All
may hope, too, that calm counsels
will prevail and that neither the
capitalists nor the wage-earners
will give way to unreasoning panic
and sacrifice their porperty.
DELAY IS DANGEROUS.
Nevertheless, every day’s delay
in lemoving one of the plain and
principal causes of the present
state of things enlarges the mis¬
chief already done and increases
the responsibility of the govern¬
ment for its existence.
Whatever else the people have a
right to expect from congress they
may certainly demand that legis¬
lation condemned by the ordeal of
three years disa6teroo« experience
shall be removed from the statute
books as soon as their rep-
iesentatives can legitimately deal
with it.
TARIFF REFORM IN SEPTEMBER.
It was my purpose to summon
congress in special session early in
the coming September, that we
might enter promptly upon the
work of tariff reform which the
true interi sts of the country clear¬
ly demand, which so large a ma¬
jority of the people, us shown by
their suffrages, desire and expect,
and to the accomplishment
which every fli rt of the present
administration is pledged. But
while tariff reform has lost nothing
of its immediate and permanent
importance and must in the near
future engage the attention of con¬
gress, it has seemed to me that the
financial condition of the country
should at once and before all ether
subjects he considered by your
honorable body.
HE URGES THE RETEAL OF THE SHER¬
MAN LAW.
I earnestly recommend the
prompt repeal of the provisions of
the act passed July 14, 18g0, au¬
thorizing the purchase of silver
bullion,, and that other legislative
action may put, beyond all doubt,
or mistake the intention and abili¬
ty of the government to fulfill its
pecuniary obligations in money
universally recognized by all civil¬
ized countries.
[Signed] Grover Cleveland.
Executive Mansion, Aug., 7,1893
Congressman Russel Talks.
Congressman Ben Rusell states
his pooition on the money question
in the following brief interview:
“First and foremost I stand
squarely on the democratic plat¬
form. Next I am an advocate of free
silver on a parjty with gold. As to
whether free silver is the panacea
for the evils complained of by the
people. I am like the man at the
hotel, who, when the waiter asked
him if he would take coffee or tea,
replied :‘if this is coffee I am drink¬
ing I will take tea, and if it is tea,
I will take coffee.’
“My idea is that in addition to
the free coinage of silver the best
solution of the whole financial prob¬
lem is the repeal of the 10 per cent
tax on state banks and allow the
state to issue their own money as
they did previous to the war.
Strange to say the third party peo¬
ple and their like are opposed to
the state banking system ; they say
that it is wild cat money. At the
same time they can see by the re¬
port of the co r ptroller of the treas¬
ury that more than 100 national
banks have failed in the last six
mouths, common rumor having
placed it at 200 banks. During the
entire time the so-called 'wild cal’
system of Georgia was in operation
the percentage of failures by no
means compared to that of the na¬
tional banking system. The third
party people say that the money
could not be carried out of the state :
suppose it could not, money moves
the crops, developes the country,
and when a man wants to travel he
can very easily get New York ex¬
change. If that law is passed in ad¬
dition to the free coinage of silver,
and it ought to be in conformity
with the democratic platform, there
is no reason in the world why this
country will not have a solid, sound
and flexible currency.
“I have met here a great many
congressmen, and there is quite a
multiplicity of ideas as to what con¬
gress ough to do, but I am satisfied
that the fifty-third congress will
get down to business upon the idea
that the people of the United States
expect something in the way of fi
nancial legislation, and they will
get it.
“Speaker Crisp stands square up-
pon the democratic platform—ev¬
ery plank of it, and he is also in
favor of an income tax. He occu¬
pies today toward the democratic
party the most prominent position
in the Uuited States.”

Washington Letter
Washington. Aug. 7, 1S93.
From our regular Correspondent.
If today was not the proudest
day Speaker Crisp ever saw his
looks belied him,and he must dif¬
fer from the averaga man. His
first election to be Speaker of the
House an office only second in au¬
thority and dignity to that of Pres¬
ident was the end of one the bitter¬
est contests ever waged within
party lines and now, after beini
unanimously nominated for the po¬
sition by the party caucus he is for
the second time elevated to the
honorable position. It was a per¬
sonal triumph of which any man
might well be proud, and which few
men have attained. The following
officials were also elected by the
House : Clerk, .James Kerr of Penn¬
sylvania (reelected); Sergeant at
Arms, Herman C. Snow, (exCon-
gressman) of Illinois; Doorkeeper,
A. B. Hurt, ofTenrieess; Postmas¬
ter, Lyourgus Dalton, of Indiana,
(reelected); Chaplain, Rev. S. W.
Haddawav, of the District of Co¬
lumbia.
Vice President Stevenson presid¬
ed over the opening session ot the
Senate, which was a short one, as
President Cleveland’s message will
not go in until tomorrow.
There were several good reasons
wl y a large attendance was not ex¬
pected at the opening of the extra
session. There was no contest
over the Speakership and many
members ol the House took no in¬
terest in those over the other offi¬
cials; still, the percentage of mem¬
bers present was about the average
for the first day of a session. All
the members have been heard from
and they will all be in their seats
before the House is ready to get
down to real business, which it can
not do until Spei ker Crisp has com¬
pleted and announced the commit¬
tee assignments, for the very sim¬
ple reason that none of the bills in¬
troduced can be acted upon until
then.
Speaker Crisp is loosing no time
and just as soon as he can get the
committee assignments completed
he will announce them, but there
is not much probability that it will
be earlier than next week. The
proposition has been made that
Mr Crisp followed the example set
by President Cleveland,in announc¬
ing the members of his cabinet as
fast as they were selected,and annou.
nee the committees as fast as they
are made up,so that they may get to
work on the bills as fast they are
introduced ; but the suggestion is
hardly practicable. There is so
much dove-tailing necessary in as¬
signing the members to committees
that the commistees are all practi¬
cally made up at about the same
time.
Some one has proposed and the
proposal meets %ith favor from
many members, that an entirely
new committee, to be called the
committee on Coinage and Curren¬
cy, be added to those existing in
the House, and that to it be referr¬
ed all bills relating to coinage and
currency. The reason for this pro¬
posal is the constant clashing be¬
tween the committee on coinage,
Weights and Measures and that on
Banking and Currency, as to the
reference of bills. Should the pro¬
posal be adopted those two com¬
mittees would be less important, as
the first would deal only with com¬
paratively insignificant bills relat¬
ing to Weights and Measures and
the latter only with bills relating
to Banking. The new committee,
if formed, would rank with the
Ways and Means and Appropria¬
tion committee in importance.
President Cleveland returned to
Washington Saturday afternoon
and, spent Sunday quietly at his
suburban residence. He says be
never felt, better and he certainly
looks to be in the most robust
health. He is very confident that
the legislation of the extra session
will be satisfactory.
When Secretary Herbert’s anoal
report is made out it wll be seen
that his inspection tour of the At¬
lantic coast navy yards was not a
mere pleasure junket, but was just
what it purported to he an—in¬
spection of the yards visited, cover¬
ing general facilities and methods
of working. This may surprise some
people, but surprises are frequent
under the democratic administra¬
tion.
Treasury officials say the scarci¬
ty of small bills which is now pre¬
vailing is no fault of theirs, as they
have pier ty of small notes and glad¬
ly furnish them to batiks which ap¬
ply tor them in exchange for notes
of larger denomination. A congress¬
man speaking of this, said : There
seems to be a screw loose pomewhere
when nusiness men of New York
pay a premium to get small notes
when by sending to Washington,
only six hours away, they could
get all they needed withont Drying.
This matter ought to be looked in-
to.
The administration proposes to
do its partin helping the National
banks to increase their circulation,
and the bureau of Engraving and
Printing is n >w working extra time
printing small notes to supply the
demand expected to be made by
the banks.
Worth’s Issue.
The people of Worth county are
now considering the question of
removing the Court house from Is¬
abella to some point on the B. &
W. Railroad. The places most
prominent in the contest for the
building are, Sumner, Poulan and
Sylvester.
Now is the time for the people of
Worth county to figure for their
best interest. They can get a
Court-house in some one of the
above towns, and it will not cost
the county a cent and still be a
great victory for the town securing
the building.
The proper thing for the citizens
to do is to settle these things before
the vote is taken because, if the
vote gives the Court-house to any
one of the threo places before the
donations are secured, the spirit of
liberality will not be near so great.
The necessary vote can be secured
to give either place the Court house
if the citizens of that place will
give the ground and erect the
building. With a view to the best
interests of the whole people of the
county, we would advise that, ow¬
ing to the pressure in finances and
the present county debt, that the
enterprise be abandoned for awhile,
unless the Court-house can be se¬
cured on the plans above stated.
