Carlton for Governor.
Dr. II. H. Carlton, of Athens, Ga.
is a third candidate for the demo¬

Dr. Curlton’s entrance into the
race rather complicates matters.
He has strorg backing in Clarke
and some of the neighboring coun¬
ties, and it may be a little previous
to count him "not in it.”

The senate finance committee

As to the income tax, the amend¬
ment reported will limit its opera¬

to cease by its own provisions, and
without the necessity of enacting a
law for its repeal. It is still unde¬
termined whether the rate of the
tax will he reduced, or whether
there will be aDy change as to the
minnium income on which it is to
take effect. It is the expectation
of the leaders that this bill will
command on the vote for its final
passage, tho support of the entire
democratic membership of the
body. But it is confidently expect¬
ed that it will pass the senate
whether the three recalcitrants,
Hill, Murphy and Smith, line up
for it or not.
COX EY’S ARMY.
The great daily papers are con¬
stantly filled to overflowing will)
the possible outcome of the march
of Coxey’s ten thousand to Wash¬
ington. Some attempt to belittle
the significance of this unique
demonstration, and at the same
time give it more attention than
any other two quistions of the day.
We have no sympathy for these
"bums” as we do not believe them
to be representatives of the labor¬
ing class of the A erican people.
Senator Hoar, republican, of
Mass., ignores the demonstration of
these men and asks the question if
it is good policy for congress to
heed the demands of these men,
10,000 strong, in preference to the
remaining 05,000,000 of our people.
It might be suggested, however,
to this distinguished republican
that a contingent of his section,
numbering less than Coxey’s, are
wielding an influence far more per¬
nicious, and deterimental to t e na¬
tion’s interrst, than the ignornine
ous demonstialion of Coxey’s a’ujy
can ever bring to hear.
Governor Lewlling, of Kansas,
takes a pessimistic view of the af¬
fair, arid predicts that a revolution
will follow the fall elections.
V hatever may be the outcome of
these proceedings, the press of the
country should come in for a good
portionof the responsibility, for ag¬
itating and advertising the anarch¬
istic movement,
COXKY ARRIVES AT \V ASH
INGTON.
Fromour rcijulw Correspondent.
Washington, April 30,1894
The president and his cabinet
have scarcely given a thought to
the gang now camped in the sub¬
urbs of Washington known as Cox
ey’s army before its arrival and
since as “C xey’s fizzle.” Wfcile
few of these men are what they rep¬
resent themselves to be—bona fide
workingmen out of employment—
they have so far proven themselves
to be peaceable and law tbitling,
thus differing from the so-call«
‘‘Industrial armies,” in the north
west, the unlawful acts of which
have been the principal subjects
under discussion at several cabinet
meetings. Some of the governors
of states would not have felt flat¬
tered if they could have heard some
of the comment* made at these
cabinet meetings upon the manner
they have dealt with, or rather,
failed to deal with recent mob law¬
lessness in their states. The pres¬
ident and cabinet are a unit in the
determination to maintain the con¬
stitutional power of the. government
with Federal troops whereever it
may be necessary.
“Coxey’s fizzle,” now encamped
as a freak show at Bright wood
race tiack, just outside ot the city
limits, will, unless the programme
of G’oxey, the chief fakir, be chang¬
ed, march into the city tomorrow.
The gang is not numerous enough
to make any trouble, even if they
were so disposed. If there were ten
times as many of them as there are,
there would be no apprehension of
trouble in Washington as every
precaution has been taken to deal
with any infraction of the law.
There are about 300 men in the
camp ?md the kind of men they are
may oe judged from these remarks
of one of the thousands who visit¬
ed the camp yesterday: “ If the
authorities would issue an order
stating that eveiy man in camp
would be given a bath, dressed in
clean clothes and put to work to¬
morrow, I would wager ten to one
that nine-tenths of them would be
gone by rooming.” He sized them
up correctly. At least nine tenths
of them aie professional tramps,
here only to be fed.
It will be no surprise to many
shrewd publishers who have re¬
ceived iis Col. Seller’s—“Millions
in it—” circulars asking for adver¬
tising, to learn that the “Press
Claims Co.,” of Washington has
got into court. Mr. W. R. Hearst,
son of the late Senator Hearst, and
publisher of the San Francisco Ex¬
aminer, has asked the court to oust
John Wedderburr, manager of the
above company and of the “Exam¬
iner Bureau of Claims,” in which
Mr. Hearst was a partner, and to
appoint a receiver to close up the
business. He says that Wedder
ourn has injured the reputation of
the Sin Francisco Examiner by
the mismanagement of business in¬
trusted to him by confiding sub¬
scribers of that paper, and by ad¬
vertising to give prizes for inven¬
tions ; that he has without author¬
ity created a large indehtedne s and
signed a note for $8 000 with the
firm’s name, and that he has refus¬
ed to refund money to certain cli¬
ents, cubscrioers to the St Paul
Pioneer Press and Omaha Bee. in
accordance with contracts made
with ttiem.
Secretary Hoke Smitn rejoices
in the possession of a backbone of
the Cleveland brand, as Mr. Spen¬
cer, U. S- Pension agent for Indi¬
ana, has discovered. Mr. Spencer
lately removed one of his clerks and
appointed his sister to the vacancy.
As soon as the attention of the de¬
partment was called to the matter
—the fiiends of the discharged
clerk made sure that it didn’t take
long—Mr. Spencer was notified that
he must revoke the appointment of
his Uster, as it was rule of the de¬
partment that no pension agent
shall appoint a relative to office.
Mr. Spencer came to Washington
am backed by Senators Vorhees
and Turpie and the representative
from hiB district called on Secreta¬
ry Smith, but it was useless. The
Secretary told them that he did
not intend to countenance nepotism
in any form; that the democrats
j had for years been abusing the re
publicans for being guilty of it, and
that he was really surprised that
any democrat should desire to fol
low the practice. Mr. Spencer and
his friends saw the point of the ar
gument.
The republican senators have
been badly demoialized since they
learned that it was practically set¬
tled that democratic opposition to
the tariff bill would he overcome
by friendly concessions. It de¬
stroyed their last hope of defeating
tariff reform. Senator Harris, who
is in charge of the bill, made some
very sensible remarks in reply to
taunis from Senator H»,e, concern¬
ing the proposed concssions. II
sai 1: "I undertake to assert, with
absolute confi lance, that there nev¬
er was in the history of the govern¬
ment a tariff bill framed by either
party, there never will he a tariff
hill framed by either party, which
has not been and will not be a com¬
promise between the conflicting
parties. I shall not hesitate to en¬
tertain any proposition, anti if it
makes a reduction from the McKin¬
ley law, however objectionable it
might be to my own views, 1 would
seize on it. The crucial question
is, shall we continue the infamy of
the McKinley law or adopt a new
bill which is not entirely agreeable
to me or to other Senators? 1 ’
The Agricultural appropriation
bill has been reported to the house.
It is in line with the rest of the
regular appropriation bills in reduc¬
ing the expenses of the government,
carrying $148,000 less than the
appropriations for the current fiscal
year.

Ashburn and Sycamore, Attention!
The Local suggests to the citizens
of A-hburn and Sycamore ami vi¬
cinity that they secure a special
train from their places over the
■Georgia Southern to Tifton on May
11, to connect with the B A W spec¬
ial to the Celebration at Foulan.
By this means, schools from both
places could attend in a body, and
the scholars be saved a long drive
through the dust.
The B & W. special will probably
leave Tifton about 8.30 or 9 o’clock.
