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 Dr. Amos Fox taxes charge of the Atlanta post office today. The North Georgia conlbrencr is in session at Ganesvilie. No new cases or deaths have been reported from Brunswick for the past week and quarantine has been raised. From Minnie. Editor News: If you will give me space in the columes ol your valuable and most interesting paper, I will write you a shoit letter, I Bee you get letters from most of the other towns in our county. Politics is the topic 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. Dr. E. J. Dorminy and Mr. Wiley Myres killed 38 birds yesterday afternoon, they are good on the wing. Mr, C. W. Tucker and Mr. W. J. Luke went out on the Ocmulgee la?t week on a hunting expedition, they told their friends that they were going to take in the squirrels but when they got eut one of them devoted the most of his time to an ornan enta “Bush,” so they did not get, any squirrels, b ut we are satis¬ fied they had a good time, one young man said of all ornamentals that bush is the most beantiful. M innie. Schools closing and folks marry¬ ing around Minnie. Minnie, Nov. 25th. 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.
