SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, G A., FEBRUARY 9 1891. AT THE CAPITOL. A Synopsis of What is Being Said and Done at Washington from Day to Day, III tl»C bounce. 88fn Day —The Hawaiian contro¬ versy and the federal election bill OC cupied the time in the senate today. Mr. Teller of Colorado argued in fa¬ vor of annexation of Hawaii. The Hawaiian resolution went over and will doubtless be discussed at much length before a vole is reached. Mr. Walcott, of Colorado presented the memorial from the legislature of his state repudiating the proposition of Governor Waite, that the legislature had power to legislate on the moneta¬ ry question. 39th Day.— The senate has finally named the day when the final vote will be taken on the bill repealing tho federal election law, After another long colloquy today between Messrs. Gray aud Chandler the republicans decided that tho general debate will close next Tuesday at 4 p. m. After that hour amendments may be pre sented and passed upon, but tho final vote must bo taken before adjourn ment on that day. Tho bond question came up today and went overby unan imous consent till tomorrow. The significant feature of the discussion was the firm stand taken by Mr. Slier man in favor of the authority of Sec retary Carlisle to issue bonds. The gold reserve he declared to be a fund which should be preserved inviolate and he thought it even mandatory rather than discretionary with Carlisle to sell at least sufficient bonds tore store the gold reserve. A petition al¬ leged to represent 1000 workingmen of California praying against the re¬ duction of the duty on wool was pre¬ sented by Mr. Perkins of California. Mr. Washburn of Minnesota present¬ ed a petition of 0000 citizens of St. Louis county, protesting against put¬ ting iron on the free list. 40th Day. —Tho entire time of the senate today was consumed in the dis¬ cussion of the resolution of Mr. Stew¬ art of Nevada, declaring that the sec¬ retary of the treasury had no power to issue the bonds for which bids have been invited. Mr. Allen opened the discussion in support of the resolution. Mr. Hoar surprised some of liis repub¬ lican colleagues by sustaining the position taken by Messrs. Allen and Stewart, and Mr. Gorman made a speech directed principally to replying to the partisan strictures of Mr. Slier. man on yesterday, but giving no ex pressions of liis opinion as to the au tbority of Secretary Carlisle to apply the proceeds of bonds to meeting current expenses. A great discussion followed, participated in by Messrs, Aldrich, Sherman. Voorliees and others. The bond resolution went over witbo ut action until tomorrow, 41st Day.— Tho day in the senate was exceedingly dull. A number of petitions were offered and read and some moro speeches were made in reference to the bond issue. 42i> ’(Day—A nother day passed with¬ out anything of interest transpiring in the senate. The tariff bill from the bouse was laid before the senate and was referred to the committee on fi¬ nance. The senate adjourned until Monday. In Tho House. 37th Day __The tariff debate was concluded tonight, so far us it rolates to the customs schedule. The time for otleriug amendments ceused at 5 ;30 o’clock when the house took a recess. There was a great deal of de¬ mand from both sides during the af¬ ternoon for recognition for the pur¬ pose of offering amendments, but Mr. Wilson for the committee had the floor and none got m. At least a hundred amendments were shut out by the expiration of tho time. A ser¬ ies of amendments to tho metal sched¬ ule, ail reductions, were agreed to, and the committee reversed its action of a week ago and fixed the time for free wool to go into effect on August 2, and for the woolen goods schedules to go into effect on December 2. This was accomplished by republicans, a change of front on tho part of tho who voted on the former occasions to have free wool go into effect immediately upon the passage of the bill. Three days of next week under the amend¬ ed order will be devoted to the consid¬ eration of the internal revenue bill 38th Day. —The general debate on the internal features of the tariff bill was entered on today. But one sen¬ sational speech was made, that by Mr. Covert, democrat, of New York, who announced his opposition to the entire bill, because, in his opinion, it was framed to compel tho incorporation of an income tax. Mr. McMillan of Tennessee and Mr. Hall of Kansas, ably presented the argument in favor of the imposition of the tax. 39th Day.— This has been a field day in tho house. The opponents of the income tax had their opportunity. Messrs Covert and Bartlett of New York and Johnson of Ohio, all demo¬ crats, presented the opposition, along with tho republicans, to the proposi¬ tion to impose a special tax on wealth, bat It remained for Bourke Cochran to release his eloquence against the measure, eclipsing all speeches he has (Strength and Prosperity Abound.” i over mado. Mr, Bryan closed the de¬ bate in defense of the tax and he, too, made a brilliant speech. 40th Day. —The internal rovenue bill was placed as a rider upon the tariff bill this afternoon by a vote of 176 to G4. The entire amendmpr>tywiuch day was spent in consideration cf were offered to various features. The principal tight camo on the proposi¬ tion to increase ttio tax on whisky from 90 cents to ft and extend the bonded period to eight years. /.These propositions, esnociallv the one look ing to increase in bonded period, were opposed by members on both sides and, despite the opposition, the latlei propositition—that is, tlie one to in¬ crease ibe bonded period lo eight yeas—was stricken out, while the oili¬ er was allowed to stand. The Ken¬ tucky members say they will bring ruin and disaster to the whisky inter ests. Kentucky alone lias over 85, 000,000 gallons of whisky upon which the tax will be increased without giv iug them die benefit of the extension of the period. Only one oilier amend, meat of importance was carried. It was a proposition to extend the oper ation of the income tax to all moneys and property given or bequeathed, This will increase (lie revenue from that tax about $3,000,000 internal per annum, After disposal of the revenue amendments a row occurred over the few remaining amendments, and by dint of maneuvering Mr. Lockwood, who is opposing them, managed to prevent a vote until the hour of re cess arrived, 41st Day __Tho capitol was packed witli a mass of humanity today. It is probable that never before in the his¬ tory of the house of representatives has there been greater interest cen¬ tered in ah event tkau there was this morning. The cause of the interest was the announcement that speeches would be made on the tariff by Speak¬ er Crisp, Mr. Wilson, chairman of the committee on ways and means, and by Tom lleed of Maine. Long bef ore 10 o’clock every corridor in the south wing of the capitol was jammed. Thousands of ladies and gentlemen had come to bear the speeches of the great men of tho two parties only to be forced to stand about iu uncom¬ fortably crowded corridors until they made up their minds to go home. Every gallery of the house was crowd¬ ed to its utmost capacity. The officers were powerless to keep the crowd in subjection. The debate was opened by Mr. Iteed and closed by Mr. Wil¬ son. Seldom is it given any one to hear such a magnificent effort as Mr. Wilson’s speech was, as he made point after point by bis unanswerable arguments and as his matchless elo quence poured forth in an irresistible torrent, the enthusiasm and the tre mendous excitement iu the house be came unbounded, and when he closed with a stirring and eloquent appeal to American manhood and to American honor, a perfect hurricane of yells and shouts made the chamber deafeu mg for several movements. It was impossible to even attempt to restore order, and as fast as one paroxysm of applause died away another and louder one would begin. Members rushed up and seizing Mr. Wilson their arms about him and kept him in a close em¬ brace. Finally Mr. Bryan of Ne¬ braska, aud several others mounted Mr. Wilson on their shoulders and triumphantly carried him round the house. A superb floral display was placed on his dosk and all in all the wonderful scene never was before and probably never will again be witnessed in the house. Mr. Crisp then relieved Mr. Hatch (who was speaker pro tem) and the voting on the amendments be¬ gan and was concluded at 6:55, the vote standing 204 yeas, and 140 nays. The announcement was greeted with cheering and applause in the galleries and on the floor, which continued un¬ til the house adjourned. The usual motion to reconsider und to lay on the table, were made by Wilson and were carried, and the house then at 5;55 adjourned till tomorrow at 12 o’clock. 42d Day.— In the house today, im¬ mediately after tho reading of the journal, Mr. Catchings from the com¬ mittee on rules, reported a special or¬ der for the consideration of the report of the committee on foreign affairs re¬ lating to Hawaiian affairs. This pro¬ vided that every day for three days the house should consider this ques¬ tion, and at 4 o’clock of tho last day the previous question should be or¬ dered and a vote taken on the resolu¬ tion and pending amendments. Mr. Boutelle made a point of order against the special order, and speeches were made by several representatives. No vote was taken. The Committees Didn't Agree. The joint senate aud house commit¬ tee on public building which has been wrestling with the selection of a site for a new government printing office has completed its labors, but inasmuch as the senators reported one bill and the representative another, each pro¬ viding for the purchase of ground in diflerent places, their long wrestling does not seem to have been productive of much good, or to have greatly im proyed the prospeois of a new G.

Thousands of families have within the past four or five years moved from the bleak plains of tho Northwest to the sheltered hillsides and fertile valleys of the vast area drained by the lower Mississippi and its tributaries. They now appreciate the benefits of the exchange. The Northwest has its destiny of growth, but the family of small means will ever find the greatest happiness and comfort in the climate where the least capital is absorbed in tlie moro preser •vatiou of existence. In all the States South of the Ohio river there aro cheap lands which wiU produce readi¬ ly au almost endless variety of crops with little labor. Live stock can be raised at much less cost than the Northwest requires. Fruits and vege¬ tables produce abundantly.

INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 11 Lesson Text: “Hod’s Covenant With Abram," Gen. xvtl., i, y~ Golden Text: Gen. xv., 6— A Commentary. 1. “Ami when Abram was ninety years old and nine. Ill'- Lord appeared to Abram and said uuto Wm, I am the Almighty God ; walk before ile ami be thou perfect.” entered It is now the twenty-four years since Abram land of Canaan (see chapter xil., 4). during which time Lot left him and went to dwell in Sodom, while Abram removed his tent and altar to Hebron (xili., 12, 18.) At this timo t ho Lord appeared and renewed the eove mud. We next see Abram rescuing Lot and llis goods from the four kings, and being blcsseilliv MelehiKotlee he gives him tithes and ■ i - rubied lo refuse the goods of Sodom, in .•inter ■Gofer xv. the Lord comes to him again, and wo the ilrst time fear not. i righteousness and shield, rt follows another story of other words.. 6 tali human wisdom ~~ , n ss, and a blank of thirteen year xvi.. lfi, and xvii..l). after whH, i„V Jeho ™* appears again, but with u,,w ^me-God. hi,>,. , .

' F virtually said to Abram, You have listened to human wisdom, wandered r™ 1 Me and failed, now return and walk boh - Mo sin cert Hy, uprightly (see margin), One—El'Shad- for I .'i'n tiie powerful, all sufficient dai—and In Me alone you will find all your uood 2. “And I will make my convenant be¬ tween Me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly.” Thirteen times do we find the word “covenant” in this chapter and once in xv.. 18, making a full twice seven, God’s per¬ fect number. Nine times Ho says “My cov¬ enant.” emphasizing the fact that it is ail of Him. He is the author and finisher of it, and it cannot fail. The time will surely come when, notwithstanding all their wan¬ derings. Ho will yet give them repentance thei and remission of sins and will perform wlrich truth to Jacob and mercy to Abraham He has sworn from the days of old (Acts v., 31 :Z«eh. xii.. 10; xiii.. 1; Mic. vii., 20). 8. “And Abram fell on his face, and God talked with him, saying.” This position is suggestive of. weakness, unworthiness, noth¬ ingness, on the part of Abram, but of wor¬ ship and adoration toward God. When Jesus appeared to John on Patinos John fell at His feet as dead. So, also Daniel, when he saw the glory of the Lord, fell on the ground, with his face toward the ground' “Woo (Kev. i., 17 ; Dan. x., !)). Isaiah said, is mo, for I am undone,” and Job said, “I iabhor myself” (Isa. vi., 5; Job xiii., 6). A sight of the Lord and His beauty and holi¬ ness delivers us from saying or thinking any¬ thing more about ouiselves. and enables us to glory only in the Lord. 4. “As for Me, behold. My covenant Is with thee, and thou shalt be a lather of many Nations.” The details of the covenant are. more ftilly unfolded with every now state¬ ment of it. First, God would make of him. a great Nation, then they should bo as nu morous as the dust of the earth, then as the stars of heaven, then they should have great , substance, but now ho is to become a multi¬ tude of Nations (seo margin). Whatever fulfillment of this there was in the descend¬ ants of Ishmnel and of the sons of Keturah: there is doubtless a fulfillment to be mani¬ fested in the coming ages. We do well to hold fast the promise and wait with expecta¬ tion. Ho will do exceeding abundantly above all our thinking. bo 5. “Neither shall thy name any shall moro be called Abram, but thy name Abraham, for a father of many Nations have I made thee.” Some of the scholars may not know that the part of the name which signifies “father” is the first two letters Ab. The addition to his naino is most suggestive. The new consonant added is H, which is the principal letter in God’s great name—Jeliovah (J H V if) -so that it appears as if God breathed Himself into Abram. The only place the name Almighty is found in the New Testament outside of Revelation is in connection with the promise “I will dwell in them and walk in them.” and is conditioned upon complete separation from all unbelief and uncleanness (II Cor. vi., 16-18). 0. “And I will make thee excooding fruit ful, and I will make Nations of time, and kings shall come out oJ thee.” The new feature here is the last clause concerning kings. Inasmuch as all in Christ aro children of Abraham, and all in Christ are kings and priests unto God and shall reign on the earth, we shall certainly seo a fulfillment in the coming kingdom (Gal. iii., 29; Rev. v., !». 10 : Luke xix., 17). As to iruitrulncss, somo of the last words of Jesus are concern¬ ing the much fruit that glorifies God and how we may bear it (see John xv.), and the secret of it is even in this lesson, our empti¬ ness. and God in us (he all sufficient one. Read also Rom. vii. .4. 7. “And I will establish My covenant be¬ tween Me and thee, and tiiy soed after thee in their generations, for an everlasting seed cov¬ enant, to be a good unto thee and to thy is after thee.” The iii overlasting covenant connection mentioned again verse 19 in with Isaac, the promised soed, type of Christ, the true seed, who is also son of Abraham (Gal. iii., 16 ; Math, i., 1), and son of David, shall in and through whom all all the mysteries promises mado be literally fulfilled and clear as noonday. 8. “And I will give unto t«io and to thy soed after thee the laud wherein thou art a stranger, all the land of Canaan for an ever lasting possession, and I will be their God.” As to the breadth of the land see chopter xv., 18, and notice that it roaches to the Eu¬ phrates. That it shall bo theirs forevor, al¬ though they have as yet been longer out of it than in it, the prophets abundantly tes¬ tify. Among the plainest statements Jor. sea Ezek. xxxvii..21, 22 ; Amos ix., wonderful 15 ; xxxi., 38-40, and listen to these words of Jer. xxxii., 41, “I wifi plant them in this land assuredly with My whole heart and with My whole soul.” Whoever can doubt that it shall be so is surely worthy of the name of infidel. !). “And God said unto Abraham, thdu shalt keep My covenant, therefore, thou and thy seed after thee in their generations.” Then follows an account of that which they were to keep, even the right of circumcision, as a token of the covenant. The bow in the cloud did not make the covenant with Noah any moro sure, but was tho visible token that there was such a covenant. Circum¬ cision did not make Abraham more right¬ eous (Rom. iv., 11) nor the covenant more sure, but was the outward sign that all such were includod iu tho covenant which was before established. Us true significance is seen in Deut. xxx., 6; Jer. iv., 4; Coi. ii., 11; Gal. vi., 15.—Lesson Helper.
