The senate has bored the people
id done nothing tili they cant get
p a sensation.
Why should the democratic ma-
ority in the senate fear to repeal
he Sherman Law unconditionally?
hats what they promised to do,
and the peopla expect it even if it
should prove to be an error.
■—* &—
With big democratic majorities
in the house and senate with a
democratic President arid vice
President, why cant democratic
measures he enacted.
•--—
The senate should should shift
the a wful responsibility of tbe rc-
ea of the Sherman law upon the
Presidents shoulders'. He is equal
to the responsibility, and will not
veto a reasonable substitute.

didn’t know it thirty years ago.

Fromour regular CorrcupotuleiU.
Not since the tnemor&ble silver
debate bewail in the senate has the
outlook for passing a financial
measure that will receive the vote
of every democratic senator been
as bright as it. is at this writing.
The failure of the attempt to com¬
pel the senate to vote by holding a
continuous session, which was a
foregone conclusion, has convinced
those democratic senators who
were pledged to do their best to sem¬
eme the passage of the Vuorbeea
bill that unconditional repeal is
under present circumstances an im¬
possibility and they are; tor the first
time taking part in conferences
held for the purpose of reaching
an agreement upon a compromise
that can be passed as a distinctive¬
ly democratic rueaaute, and there
are the best of reasons for tbe pre¬
diction that such a measure will
this week be passed by the senate.
President Cleveland is not taking
any part in these conferences. He
is still firm in his belief that un¬
conditional repeal would be tbe
best thing, but he will not veto any
compromise which meets the ap¬
proval of the democrat-sin the sen¬
ate anil house, as any compromne
will necessarily include the vicious
purchasing clause of ihe Sherman
law, and probably the authority for
an issue of bonds to strengthen tlie
geln reserve. The indications are
that it will also include the repeal
of the tax on state bank currency.
Secretary Carlisle is reported to
have given his opinion as to a coin-
promise that would be approved
by President Cleveland and it in¬
cludes these propositions.
All of the Ohio republican mem
hers of tbe bouse have been called
home to help McKinley, who for
some reason has become very much
alarmed at the outlook.
crats in Congress do not forget that
Ohio is unber ordinary circumstan¬
ces a republican state, but their
private advices are certainly very
favorable of late to the democrats.
». -»- The •• t~4f cic.TTbcr..its afij&aaw ** -a . house off¬
setting the democratic senators a
good example in keeping together.
Notwithstanding the efforts of
.the republicans to create dissen¬
sion among the house democrats
over the Tucker bill for the repeal
of the obnoxious federal election
laws, that bill was passed on sched¬
ule time and it received the votes
of every democrat present, as well
as those of the populist. The
house then took up the MeCrerry
bill amending the Geary Chinese
exclusion act, which would have
been passed last week if more
,
members than were expected had
not desired to make speeches there
on, causing the taking of a vote to
be postponed until this afternoon.
The democratic Congress has
one opportunity to bring about a
great reform, and at the same time
save a very large sum of money,
that should not he neglected.
It is a fact well known to all who
have ever had any considerable
business with the Treesury depart¬
ment that there is an unnecessary
amount of red tape in its method
of dealing with accounts involving
he expenditure of money. This is
not the fault of individuals but
the absurd system which compels
a duplication of all the work done
in connection with every account
which passes through the cilices
five nut of the six auditors of tbe
Treasury. To duplicate the work
tne clerical lores is also neee*eari-
j ly duplicated. It is n t good ar> u-
tneut to say that tins duplication
is a necessary safe guard, because
tho work of the Sixth Auditor’s
office, which haunles all ol the
postoffiee accounts, and which hue
long enjoved the reputation of
°
mu conducted under a thorough
business system, is not
being ofiteelfa final tottlement
ail the accounts upon which
passes. It is probable that
joint Congressional committee
iuvfcbtigating the work and
oils of the various departments
recomend that all of the bureaus
the Treasury department which
exist men ly ior the purpose ol
dupticaiing tho w-rk done in the
offices ot the first auditors be abol-r
isbad, They certainly ought to bo
abolished. It would mean the
dropping of five or six hundred
need tees employes—the influence
represented by their friends, many
ol them senators and representa¬
tives, is what will make the task a
difficult one for Congress—and tbe
consequent saving of their salaries,
audit would reduce the time
quired to-get an account through
the Treasury nearly one half. It
would also show the people that
democratic economy was being
prailiced as well as preached.
At last the huusu is unaniruon !
upon somothiug.' It adopted a
resolution asking the Attorney
General whether the interest ol Che
Government are jeopardized by the
passing ol the Union Hae.il iu Rail¬
way into the h-mds or receivers.
Good Eor Georgia.
From Ihe Atlanta Journal.
The United States census bn au ;
has just issued n bulletin which j
gives the statistics of the mortgage
indebtedness on fi rms and homes
in several states. The following
table gives the aim. mil f per: .ipita
indebtedness in the states as far as
the figures have been published :
Alabama.......... . . ..$ 20
Arkansas'.......... .... 13
Colorado..........
Connecticut.......
Florida...........
Georgia...........
Illinois...........
Indiana...........
Iowa ............. 104
Kansas............
Maine............
Massachusetts..... 114
Minnesota......... .. 152
Missouri.......... ,80
Nebraska......... ..... 12G
Sew Hampshire... so
New Tors........ ..... 208
Oregon............ 73
Pennsylvania...... 117
Rhode Island...... ......106
Tennessee. ....... . . 23
Vermont..........
Wisconsin.........
It will bo seen from the above that the
south bears a lighter burden of rndebt-
uess than any othia- part of the country.
Arkansas has the snmllesl load ol this
sort and Georgia conies next. The rat o
of the amount of mortgage Indebtedness
to t!ie assessed value of real estate is alyo
iigliter in the south than any other sec
cion, as the following o.Ticinl liguros will
sliow:
Per Cent
Alabama............. ..... 10.90
Arkunasas............ ..... 7.34
Colorado............. ..... 14 75
Connecticut ......... .....20.14
Florida....... ....... ..... 9-86
Georgia............. ...... 7.56
Illinois............... ...... 14.06
Indiana.............. ...... 9.27
Iowa................. ..... 17.61
Kansas............... ..... 2813
Maine............... ......13.28
Massaehnssetts....... ______19.42
Minnesota........ ......18.83
Missouri............. ......16.15
Nebraska........... ...... 24.53
New Hampshire...... ......11.08
New York........... ...... 28 17
Oregon............... ..... 3.11
Pennsylvania........ .. .. 18.91
Rhode island......... ..... 12J 3
Tennnessee........... ...... 8.67
Vermont............. ......19.21
Wisconsin........... ......12.4G
In this showing Arkansas again leads
and Georgia again comes second. These
■statistics are very encouraging, espeeia -
ly in view of the fact the net mortgage
indebtedness of the people of the south¬
ern states is not increasing.
Times are just too dull, and still
our candidates dont announce.
We just feel like going teeth and
1 toenail for the first feliow that
j COi> is* u l’ fl itb a V and puts in his
announcement.
,
— ------------o-ft- C* --^-v--------
Sycamore is the best cotton mar¬
ket on the Georgia Southern, and
our merchants cannot be undersold
by anybody in this country who
are doing a legitimate business.
This statement is worthy the con-
gideration of thrtse who have cotton
to sell and goods to buy.
