SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA„ JANUARY 2(1 1894. WASHINGTON NOTES. Items of General Interest that are Occur¬ ring at the Capital City. In Tho Senate. 26th Day— There was an nnusual Hood of petitions protesting against the passage of lii.e Wilson tariff bill in the senate this t/iorning after the read¬ ing of tlve journal. Senator Martin, democrat, of> Kansas, called up the house bill authorizing the Shawnee Heat, and Lfight company of Kansas to constructdam across the Kansas rive in S,Pawnee county, Kansas, and it was Massed. At 12:45 the senate, on modu li of Mr. Hill, went into exe eutiv e session to consider the Horn blov/er nomination. In the executive session Senator Ilill opened the tight a gainst the confirmation of Hornblow 'ir for associate justice of the supreme °ourt, and Senator \ ilas of W isconsiu, the only democratic member of the judiciary committal who supported Mr. Hornblower in the committee room, made a strong appeal for con¬ firmation. After a general discussion lasting, throughout the afternoon, Mr. Hoi;tiUlowet’s nomination was rejected by u majority of 6. 27tii Day. —The Hawaiian contro Y'jrsy was again brought to attention of the Senate today, and there was a spirited discussion between Messrs. Hoar, Gray and Daniel. The presi¬ dent’s message communicating the re¬ cent diplomatic correspondence af¬ forded Mr. Hoar; an opportunity showed to speak on the matter, and he by quoting from the Hawaiian consti ihtion that the queen in her recent protest that she could not promise amnesty to the members of the provis¬ ional government, was only confining herself to the limits of the constitu¬ tion, which does not confer on the crown such absolute right of granting amnesty, but requires that pardon can be granted only by the concurrence of the cabinet and other constitutional officers. 28th Day.— The civil service law and the way it is administerd was dis¬ cussed in the senate toddy. Senator Berry took exception to the policy of allowing the fourth-class postmaster to remain in office in order to carry out the spirit of the law. Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire criticized the law, and said it ought to be re¬ pealed. Sector Hoar of Massachu¬ setts defended the law, and Suntuor Cockrell of Missouri said that it was a good Jaw, if carried out according to its intent and purpose. The federal election bill consumed a couple of hours. get the Mr, republicans Gj’ay of to Delaware name tried day to a when final action should be taken on the bill, but the request was evaded, and Mr. Frye said he wanted to hear tho other side discuss the question. ’The senate adjourned at 5:15. 29th Day.—T he proceedings in,the Senate today were devoid of any gen¬ eral interest. A few resolutions were offered and several speeches of disap¬ proval of the proposed bond issue were made. Tie senate adjourned until Monday. 1 n ' pie IIou ho. 25th Day— jTie. week’s general de - bate on the brilliant Willori bill closed today with a outburst of oratory. Bourke Cookranflol Georlia New York; Judge Turner, ol’ Gen. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and MrSlSiyun, of Nebraska, made brilliant s eethes, Mr. Coch¬ ran continued atl \th> hngth, making the longest speech of day, and at its close he was libers ,lhapplauded. 26th Day.— Th 3 onsideration of the tariff debate, anter the five min¬ ute rule, was begt in today. Of the three amendments diposed of none were of material monent. The at¬ tempt of Messrs, I ) eh nest and Sper ry, democrats, of ( loniecticut, to se¬ cure the adoption ofatt amendment increasing the duty ofSutnatra cigar wrappers to the prt se t rates was de¬ feated. The debate cmcluded with a brilliant tiit between: Sr. Cockran and Mr. Reed. 27th Day.—V eil little pi-ogress was made with th& unendraents to the tariff bill today. The republicans under the leadership of Mr. Burrows, made another strngde to secure the right to offer amendments alternately with Mr. Wilson, bu.as on yesterday, the chairman held, in view of the precedent of procecdure when the McKinley bill was Tudor considera¬ tion, that Mr. Wilsoi, ou behalf of the majority of the committee, was entitled to perfect t te bill before it was thrown open Several o miscellaneous amendments. minor amend¬ ments were agreed to; the most im¬ portant being that to increase the du¬ ty on condensed milk o two cents a pound. Almost the effire afternoon was spent in discussing the date upon whicli free wool and, tie correspond¬ ing reductions on wool should go into effect. No conclusion ;yas reached. 28th Day. —The wa>g and means committee snff'ered it's tkst defeat to¬ day,- wheh by a vote of 112 to 102 tho committee of the whole rejected Mr. Wilson’s amendment ffxtd the date on which free wool should jo into effect August 1, 1894, and adopted the substitute of Mr. Johnsoii, the Ohio free trade and single taxtr, making it go into effect immediately on the pas¬ sage of the bill. Many of tbe repub- “In Union. Strengrth and Prosperity Abound.” licans voted with the radical demo¬ crats for tho substitute. One other amendment was acted on today—to allow the freo entry in bond of ma¬ chinery, as well as ihe materials used in the construction of ships built for foreign account. The rest of tho day was spent in discussing an amendment of Mr. Barrows to substitute the pres¬ ent wool schedule for that proposed by the Wilson bill. At 6:30 the house took a recess until 8 o’clock. At the night session Mr, Sperry, democrat, of Connecticut, made a vicious assault on the Wilson bill on tho ground that in the face of a certain delicit in tho treasury of $70,000,000 by June 30 next, in the face of the appeal of the secretary of the treasury for a bond issue* the democratic ways and means committed had brought in a bill, os tensibly to raiso revenues, which, if passed, would increase the present es¬ timated deficit to $146,000,000. It was a free trade bill and if the issue between free trade and protection were over presented to the people of the country, the verdict would be overwhelmingly iu favor of protec¬ tion. The other speakers were Messrs. Bower, democrat, of North Carolina, Hunter, democrat, of Illinois, Ilullick, republican, of Ohio, and Post, repub¬ lican of Illinois. 29th Day. —Almost the entire day in the house was spent in the contin¬ uation of the debate on Mr. Burrows’ amendment to restore the existing du¬ ties on wool, with the result of its de¬ feat by a strict party vote. At a night session the debate on the tariff bill was continued. 30th Day.— The House is making slow progress with the tariff' bill. Only one week more remains, and less than twenty amendments to about 1000 paragraphs has been disposed of. The argument between Mr. Johnson and Mr. Dalzell over the proposition to put steel rails on the free list was concluded today and the amendment the was defeated. The remainder of day and the night session were dovoted to speeches for and against the bill. An Anti-Bond Resolution. Representative Bailey, of Texas, to¬ day introduced the following resolu¬ tion: “Resolved that it is the sense of the house of representatives that the sec¬ retary of the treasury has no authority under existing law to issue and sell the bonds of the United States, except such is conferred upon him by the act approved January 14, 3 875, entitled* An act to provide for the resumption of specie payments and that the mou ey derived frem the sale of bonds is¬ sued under that act cannot be lawfully applied to any purpose except those specified therein.” The resolution was referred to the judiciary commit tee. Iii a Line or Two. Senator White of California, has introduced a bill appropriating $250 !* 000 to investigate and determine the best plan to reclaim arid lands. A Washington afternoon paper prints what put ports to be a memorial from the Hawaiian Patriotic league to congress praying for the restoration of Liluokalani to her throne, Samuel Parker, ex-prime minister and minister of the foreign affairs in Liliuokalani’g cabinet, refutes the statement that the deposed queen will sue the United States government for damages. The house committee on labor or¬ dered a favorable report on Hepresent ative McGann’s resolution providing for an investigation relative to the effect of machinery on labor. The sum of $10,000 is appropriated to car¬ ry out the resolution. Secretary Carlisle will issue $50, 000,000 in bonds. He has already advertised for bids for the same to be ia by February 1st. After a Cabinet Officer. A dispatch from Washington to Louisville parties, says: Secretary Carlisle, it is said, has a definite offer from a syndicate of Ohio capitalists to become the president, general counsel and solicitor-general of a corporation which is to establish a chain of nation¬ al loan associations over the country, with headquarters in Washington and the Ohio National bank of this city as the center. The offer was made some days ago, and the salary of $25,000 per annum was made him with the time until February 1, 1894, given him to consider the matter. The proposition was made a few days ago by Ex-Congressman J. D. Taylor of Ohio, and he was advised not to be in a hurry to decide. When the question was asked at the treasury this morning in regard to the affair it was not deni¬ ed, aud all the secretary would say was that the gossips had a right to ro¬ mance, as there was no law against it. No Flirting Allowed. A graveyard is not a very cheerful place for courtship; yet there seems to be a good deal of billing and cooing going on in the NorUiwood cemetery at Germantown, Pa. The directors have round it necessary to «irect at the entrance a sign bearing these words: ’■•Flirting is Prohibited.” Chinaman Wants a Divorce. The first divorce suit brought by a Chinaman in New York is on the dockets of that city at presont. GENERAL NEWS. Wholesale Summary of the News of the Week Gathered from Every Quarter.

VOL.IV. NO. 37. Industrial Conditions in the (South. Tito Tradesman, Chattanooga, Tenn., in its review of the indus¬ trial situation in the South for (lie past week report that in the organization of new industries the Southern States have maintained tho average during the week, with an increase in the number of enlargements of rnunufac lories. Inquiries for new machinery continued to be unusually large. An advauco in tbe price of rice encourages the growers, who Imve large stocks on lmnd, but the fanners who are holding their cotton for advanced prices are not equally fortunate. Tho Southern farmers, as a class, arc in better peon liinry condition at ibis season than ever before. Less uionev was bor rowed on the security of growing crops, and more supplies were made at home. Iu consequence, the greater part of the receipts for sales remain for future use instead, as in former years being paid on previous debts, and for com and moat from the north west. The iron and coal producers arc postponing any increase in their out¬ puts until the tariff question is settled. The Tradesman reports thirty-two new industries as established or inco pointed during the week, together with twelve enlargements of manufac¬ tories, and twelve important new bijldings.___ Religious Row Threatened. A special from the City of Mexico to the Chicago Tribune says: “A re¬ ligious uprising is threatened at Leeh eria, and already $70,000 worth of property has been destroyed. An In¬ dian working on tho Hacienda Leche ria found a maguey leaf had been worm-eaten until it contained a trac¬ ing whioh to the Indian appeared to be a reproduction of the Virgin of Guadeloupe. Filled with a holy joy he prostrated himself before the plate to worship the picture, then hastened to the master of the hacienda to tell him of the great mark of favor be¬ stowed on him from heaven. Tho master, Senor H. Pimental, came and looked at it contemptuously, remark ing that any worm could eat out as good a picture as that. He then snap¬ ped it with his cane aud left. The In¬ dian was infuriated. That night the hacienda and 1,000 bales of cotton were burned, aud the Incendiarism has been traced to tho Indian. The other Indians were aroused over the suppos¬ ed indignity, and have all assembled and are heading a great feast. A pe¬ tition has been sent to the cathedral in this city asking that a prelate be sent to examine the picture, but it is feared that before he can arrive and disabuse the Indians of their supersti¬ tion a serious uprising will occur. Negroes Going to Africa. A special dispatch from Memphis says: “The negroes in this section of tbe South, principally those in Ar¬ kansas have contracted emigration fe¬ ver again and there is an exodus of black men to Africa. A dispatch from Marianna, Ark., says all the nc groes in that neighborhood are sacri¬ ficing what little property they have with the intention of going to the dark continent. One car load has passed through Brinkley en route for New York, whence they intend to sail for their unlimited destination. It seems as if the scheme had been worked up by negro agents who have been can¬ vassing the section for some time for whac purpose or in whose interest is not known. Many negroes owned small places and several head of stock and were comparalively speaking in good circumstances, but have sacri¬ ficed all for a few dollars to pay their way to New York. A prominent planter purchased nineteen hogs from one of these would be emigrants foi the small sura of $6. O’Brien is Discharged. The criminal prosecution of ML. J. O’Brien for embezzling $75,000 from the Catholic Knights of America, while supreme treasurer of the order, was began in the state court at Chat¬ tanooga last Wednesday. A plea of abatement of indictment was tiled by the defense, which claimed that the Knights was not a chartered organiza¬ tion under the laws of Tennessee. By the legislative act of 1891, unchar¬ tered associations are denied the right to own property in the state, and are ranked as benevolent institutions. In consequence there could be no embez¬ zlement where no rights of ownership existed. On refusal of the prosecu¬ tion to join issue on the plea, the couvt discharged the prisoner. O’Brien'was allowed to make bond in tho sum of $16,000 pending an appeal to tho supreme court. Southern Suckers Bite. At Guthrie, O. T., Within the past week a number of letters have been received from parties is Tennessee and Mississippi asking about lots they had purchased in Cherokee City, Okla, Investigation reveals the fact that a couple of sharks have been victimizing hundreds of people all through the south by selling them lots in Cherokee City, which Jtey represent to be the coming great city of Oklahoma. Cherokee City is in fact, a city on pa¬ per alone, located on barren land and in the extreme western part of the territory. The lots are not worth the paper the deeds are written on, rarli.tr la Issue Bonus. From well-informed sources it is ascertained that there is a strong prob¬ ability that, if congress fails to come to his relief within the next fifteen dnve, Secretary Carlisle may deem it necessary to issue $30,000,000 of bonds, under the resuinpion ac , f *be purpose of maintaining e 0 reserve intact. The bonds, if issued, wii e 80 only fi>r gold, but the de au s bow long they will run, at w >a pr ce they will be sold, and how placed on the market, cte., have not yot been considered, '} his proposed plan of the secte atj, it . is said, is the result of eaiofu con sidevation, ami, of course, met wi l the approval of the president. 1 e small amount of the pioposeq issue, '*• * s understood, has been deteimined upon simply to tide Hie tieasury ovet it6 ucecls unt n c °»»j? res8 ? an ta * e “P { be whole financial . question and dis pose of it. Should congress within the next . fif¬ teen days, by resolution or otherwise, meet the present treasury needs, Sec¬ retary Carlisle will refrain from act¬ ing on his own responsibility; but should it fail to act in that time, a bond issue to tho amount stated, it is believed will he made. Secretary Carlisle, it is said, would, personally, favor die coinage of the silver seigniorage if the law permitted him to toll it off and coin it; but the seigiorage obtainable from the coining of the silver bullion is so small, and would come in so slowly, that it would not he nearly sufficient to meet the present emergency. A NEW ENGLAND MIEAOLE. A railroad engineer relates 1118 experience. THE WONDERFUL STORY TOLD BY FRED C. VOSB AND HIS MOTHER-IN-LAW TO A BE POltTER OF THE BOSTON HERALD— BOTH ARE RESTORED AFTER YEARS OF AOONY. [From the Boston Herald.] Tho vast health-giving results already at¬ tributed by tho newspapers throughout this country nml Canada to Dr. Williams’ “Pink Pills for Palo People” havo been recently supplemented by the eases of two eon firmed invalids in pne household in a New England town. The names of these people are Fred C. Yose, his wifo and his mother-in law, Mrs. Oliver C. Holt, ofPeterhoro, members of the Kamo household. To the Herald reporter who was sent 10 investigate his remarkable euro Mr. Yoga said : “I am thirty-seven years old, and hava been railroading for tho Fitchburg for fifteen years. Since boyhood I have been troubled with a weak stomach. For the past seven years I have*suffered torribly and constantly. My stomach would not retain food my head aclied constantly and was so dizzy I coutd scarcely stand ; my eyes were blurred ; I had a bad heartburn,nn.l my breath was offensive. I had physicians, but they failed to help me. My appetito gave out, and four years ago I developed palpitation of the heart, whioh seriously affected my breathing. Had ter riblo pains in my back and had to make water many timesaday. I finally developed rheumatic signs and couldn’t sleep nights. It I lay down my heart would go p it-n pat at a great rate, and many nights I did not close my eyes at all. I was broken down in body and discouraged iu spirit couple when, some timo in February last, I got a of boxes of Dr. Williams’ Fiuk Pills. Be¬ fore I bad finished tho first box I noticed that the palpitation of my heart, which had bothered me so that I couldn’t breathe at times, began to improve. I saw that in go¬ ing to my home on the hill from the depot, which was previously an awful task, my heart did not beat so violently and I bad more breath when I reached the house. After the second and third boxes I grew bet¬ ter in every other respect. My stomach became stronger, tho gas belching improved, was not so bad, my appetite and digestion and my sleep became nearly natural and un¬ disturbed. ;1 havo continued taking the pills three times a day ever since last March, and to-dav I am feeling better than at any time during the last eight years. I can confi¬ dently and conscientiously say that they have done mo moro good, and their good ef¬ fects are moro permanent, than any medi¬ cine I have ever taken. My rheumatic pains in legs and hands are all gone. The pains in tho small of my back, which wero so bad nt times that I couldn't stand up straight, have nearly all vanished, and I find my kid¬ neys are well regulated by them. This is an effect not claimed for the pills in the circu¬ lar, but in my case they brought it about. I am feeling 100 per cent, better in every shape and manner.” whosald The reportornext saw Mrs. Holt, : “I am 57 years old, and for 14 years past I havo had an intermittent heart trouble. Three years ago I had nervous increased prostration, by which my heart trouble was so badly that 1 had to liedown most of the time. My stomach also gave out, and I had con¬ tinual and intense pain from tho back of my neck to the end of my backbone. In 14 weeks I spent $300 for doctor bills and medi¬ cines, but my health continued so miserable that I gave up doctoring in despair. I began fo take Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills last wintor, and thofirst box made me feel over so much better, I havo taken thopillssince entirely February, with the result ot stopping the pain in tho spine and in the region of the liver. My stomach is again normal, ami the palpi¬ tation of the heart has troubled me but three times since I commenced the pills.” Pink Pills An analysis of Dr. Williams’ shows that they contain, m a condensed form, all tho elements necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shat¬ tered nerves. They are an unfailing speailio partial for such diseases as locomotor ataxia, paralysis, St. Vitus’ dnnee, sciatica, neural¬ gia, rheumatism, nervous headache, the after effect of la grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale and sallow complexions, all forms of Weakness either in mule or fomalo, and all diseases resulting from vitiatod humors in the blood. Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sont post paid on receipt of price (50 cents a box, or six boxes for $2.50—they are never sold in bulk or by the Co., 100} by ad- , dressing Dr. Williams’ Medicine Schen¬ ectady, N.-Y., or Brockvtlle, GnL “I understand that Grabbing bas left the city?” “Never mind,” re¬ plied the man who sneers. “He’ll probably be back after it.”—Life-
