Proceedings of the past week at the
National Capital.
Washington, Nov. 27, 1893.
Fromour regular CorreeBondent.
Every animal iu the republican
menagerie i* today howling ia con¬
cert. The new democratic tariff
doesn’t suit them. This is not
strange, although they pretend to
think it. so. The Chicago platform
declared against the doctrine of
protection and in favor of a taxiff
for revenue only, and the Wilson
tariff bill is in letter and spirit
strictly in accordance therewith.
It gives the largest free list the
countiy has ever had and accord¬
ance with the expressed wishes of
hundreds of manufacturers and
that free list is included much of
ihe raw material used by American
manufacturers. Among them the
following: iron ore, coal pigtin,
hemp, flax, jute, silver, lead, ore,
copper, wool, salt, crude borax,
binding tvvire, cotton ties, and lum¬
ber not advanced in preparation be¬
yond sawing. It cut about every
protective item in the McKinley
law down to a strictly revenue ba
sis.
The new* bill is in the main sat¬
isfactory to democrats, although
there are some things on the free
list that some democratic members
of the House would have preferred
seeing a small duty retained upon.
Prominent among these are iron,
ore, lead ore, and coal, but the dem¬
ocrats on the committee after care¬
fully studying the matter from eve¬
ry point of view ooncluded that it
would be undemocratic to make
fish of one and flesh of the other
and they were accordingly put on
the free list. Those who are brut
informed believe that the judgment
of the majority of the Ways and
Means committee will be endorsed
by the majority of the House and
that the bill will be passed by that
body substantially as it is today.
The action of the Ssua.te is not so
certain. The opposition will be
concentrated upon the Senate, be
cause of the slim democratic ma¬
jority in that body.
There are several reasons why a
section providing for a personal in¬
come tax was not attached to tire
bill. In the first place there are
quite a number of democrats who
are opposed to a personal income
tux. But probably the strongest
reason of all was the desire to know
just how much revenue it will be
necessary to raise by an income tux
before deciding the rate and meth¬
od of that tux, a knowledge that
could not be obtained until the
new tariff bill becomes a law.
Meanwhile the tax imposed by the
bill upon the net ear mu,; of corpo¬
rations may prove a satisfactory
aubsiituie far a more general in
c. mo tax.
President Cleveland will not 1
am irdormed on good authority, ^o
into the Hawaiian mutter iu his
annual message Jurther than to say
that it will be fully treated in a
special message later. He prefers
o wait Until the epi ode is closed
eAire dealing with it in a message
to Congress.
Secretary La mount’s annual re.
port was the first to be made pub¬
ic, those of the other members
t he cabinet, with the exception of
Secretary Carlisle will follow dur
ng this week. Secretary Carlisle’s
report will probably go to Congress
beforivit is published.
Why shouldn’t the U. S gov¬
ernment print its own postage
stambs? Chief Johnson of the Bu¬
reau of Engraving aud Printing
isn’t, the first man who has asked
that, question, but he has asked
it. iri a very practical manner, by
submitting figures to the Post Mas¬
ter General showing how much
cheaper the Bureau of Engraving
aud Printing could do the work
than any of the private parties
who have momitted bids for print¬
ing the t tamps during 1894- An
um ffic.al estimate is that the gov¬
ernment could save at least $25,000
a year by printing its own postage
stamps. There is a doubt it seems
as to whether the Post Master Gen¬
era! can under Iho present laws
give the contract to the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing, and the
matter is now being considered and
will in a few days be decided.
Secretary Herbert thinks, notwith¬
standing the present depressed
condition of government finances,
that we should continue making
addition to our navy, and his aunu
al report will recommend the con¬
struction during the next fiscal
year of one battle ship and four
torpedo cruisers, and there is rea
son to believe that the recommen¬
dation will be endorsed by the
President’s message. Representa
live Cummings, chalrmau of the
House committee on Naval Affairs,
says there will be no trouble in
getteng a bill favorable reported
from that committee to carry out
the Sicretary’s recommendations,
and that he hopes the bill will get
through all right, but it is plain to
see that he has some doubts about
it. There are a unmber of demo¬
crats in the House who will oppose
any further expenditures for new
vessels at this time, some because
they think the navy atieady large
enough, and others because they
think the money cannot be spared

interesting paper, I will write you
a shoit letter, I Bee you get letters
from most of the other towns in

of the day at this time. The death
of our efficient tax receiver has
created more chat than any thing
else has occured in some time but
we will not have Long to talk about
the candidates for tbe unexpired of
receiver, for the election will be on
the 25lh of December.
We have had several weddings
in this vicinity this season so wo
dent thiuk times will be altogether
as hard another year. Mr. Editor
one of your writers has a great
deal to say about Colquit county
so we met bicu the other day and
in our conversat oa with him learn¬
ed that he intended going in busi¬
ness near Moultrie next March we
wiAi him success.
We have had some delightfu
showers of rain this week and now
we have good weather for saving
pork, hogs are dying rapidly in
this section.

The Royal Singing convention
organized in this county last July
called fur five union sings of which
convened at the Brushy Creek A
caderny two weeks ago and it had
no properties in it that compose a
failure, we will net have but one
more union sing before the next
convention, the next convention
will convene at Sturgeon Creek
meeting house the first Sunday
Friday and Saturday, again next
July our next last union sing be¬
fore the convention will be at the
the Irwin County Institute on the
second Sunday and Saturday be
sore in Febuan. The committee on
arrangement will be appointed in
December by the President in or
der that the program be arranged
time enough for the class to drill
some on the oppenmg and closing
exercise. We hope that will be an
inprovement on the last one.

Editor News :
Last night our school near here
closed with a grand exhibition.
While we were preparing for the
exercise we thought of Mias Fanny
Skipper and her school at Swan.
She was favorable recommended as
an experienced instructress and we
took pleasure in asking her to come
aud bring her school to sssiet in
the speaking, before the time
opening had come Miss Fanny ar¬
rived with several performers.
After the exercise had closed we
were agreeably convinced vbat she
was not a teacher of experience
only but of anility. We were sur¬
prised to see 60 many spectator the
house being too small to accommo¬
date all, the good patrons erected
a platform in front of one door and
all the 1 jokers on remaining out
side around a blazing lightwood
knot fire and the performers walk¬
ed in the house on the platform to
speak. Every body' seemed to en¬
joy themselves.
Many thanks to Miss Fanny and
her scholars for their able assist¬
ance- Our greatfulnessis also ex¬
tended to the entire community
for their kindness to us and the
support in our teaching.
While God is rewarding the no¬
ble benefactors of man surely he
will bless Mr. Jacob McCook and
his estimable wife for their kind¬
ness to me this year while I have
boarded with them.
Matrimony is in full blast in this
vicinity.
So many marriages haveoceured
recently that space forbibs record
but we must mention the wedding
supper which we had the pleasure
of participating in at Mr. S. P.
Tioupes. Mr. Jas. W. Barnes real¬
ized the blessing of uniting in mar¬
riage with Miss It hod a, the lively
daughter of Mr. Troupe, Parson
Hardin performed the ceremony,
every thing passed off quietly and
pleasent. ,T. N. Yarbough.
