IT IS A DECIDED STEP TOWARDS REFORM AND SHOt CD RECEIV E JUST CON¬ SIDERATION FROM THE PEOPLE. An Evil ill :::! leu IN Cun not lr c Hulled ill II* Day. Washington, Aug. 14.—Senator Pat¬ rick Walsh, of Georgia, to a reporter of tlie Southern Associated Press today, said: "The Senate hill is essentially a com¬ promise measure. It represents the b -st that could he attained daring the pres¬ ent session and the atlaiinaible should always lie accepted by conservative men in mat ten) of legislation. This bill is sindi an improvement on the MeKiu’ey law that there ought to be no question among the tariff reformers as to its beneficial- effect ui*m .the business in¬ terest* of the country. The Senate Hill is a long step ill the direction of the removal of protective duties. It is the beginning of the eml of the fight for tariff reform. It is a compliance with the spirit of the pledges of the Demo¬ cratic party, and the contest will go on until the letter is also fulfilled. No Democrat should fail to accept the Sen¬ ate bill as the very best thing in the shape of tariff legislation that could be obla ; ied from the Senate as at present constituted. With the parties so evenly divided in .the Senate, we should rejoice that even such substantial progress should have been made in Hie reduction of duties and the removal of commercial restrictions. “Had the Democrats not been irniitea it was possible that the Republicans could have filibustered during the present session. In place of damning the Semite bill with failnt praise and bringing it into ridicule and contempt, the Demo¬ cratic press should use its influence to create a just public opinion as to the real merits of the Senate bill. When properly presented as the best measure of tariff reform attainable tlie conserva¬ tive sentiment of the country will settle down to the conviction that very sub¬ stantia^ direction progress has been made 4 ’ of real tariff reform and freer trade among the nations. ’’t hose who have been denouncing the Senate bill as McKmicyism in a modified form should bear in mind that it is impassible for the Democratic majority to do otherwise than adopt a compromise measure. Great reforms are not accom¬ plished in a day. Protection inis been in existence for thirty-three years and it win take time to remove it. The tree lias been topped of its branches-. The trunk and the roots will be cut down and up- inoted before the administration of Pres¬ ident Cleveland draws to a close.- The Democratic Congress represents substan¬ tial progress and will ask the people for leave to sit again . The Democratic party will go before the country on the record it lias made, anu it is confidently believed that it will be triumphantly endorsed by the popular verdict at the polls in the el hs this fall for members of Con- THEY ALL APPROVE IT. The Georg-iii Delegation Interview¬ ed on tlie Tariff. Washington. D. C-, Aug. 13.—(Special.) The Democrats in both Houses have, in less than forty-eig-hf hours, buried all their animosity, anil are anxious that Mr. Cleveland may, through pre¬ conceived opinion, veto the bill. As stated in these dispatches last night lie will either affix his signature or else allow it to become a law without signing it. The Georgia delegation feels that a great victory has been gained for the cause and -that by the action of yes¬ terday the next House is saved to the Democratic par y. The sentiments ex¬ pressed by the members of the Geor¬ gia delegation are similar in substance to those held by nearly every Demo¬ crat in either House, showing that the bitterness engendered over tlie bill dur¬ ing the past month was merely of a personal nature between the two Houses rather than on account of any great divergence of principle. Senator Gordon said: rThe Senate bill is a good one; bet- pij , ^han is any bill ever radical framed in the j It not as as some of us would have had, but when consider- el and compared with the Mills bill n rid other measures, it is a most ex¬ cellent measure.” Senator Walsh said: “The bill has never been put properly before the country, nor has It ever been fully un¬ derstood. The bill cuts the taxes of they people more than fifty per cent, frpro the McKinley act. Its passage u, ’ *s in a brighter future for Amer- it- ommeroe, and gives new life to t 1 .eriean masses.” Black sayis in regard to the bill: country, of course, knows tha ’mate bill as an original proposi- /as not acceptable to the House, but ft knows as well that there are two <jo-orilinate aitld equal bill bodies that I#"’* -concur S before any can pass. no doqbf that the Senate bill is id improvement it ould have on been the indefenst McKinley v, ■ SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., AUGUST 17, 1894. bie to have rejected the bill when 11 became apparent that nothing better could be done. The public have been led in o two mistakes tn this matter: the first is in the assumption that we have a clear working majority of Dem ocrats in the Senate, and the other in comparing the Senate bill with an ideal one, and not with the existing law. One thing is certain, the Third Party in Georgia cannot criticise us for voting for the Senate bill, because Senators Allen and Kyle voted for it, and on the resolution in the House yesterday to agree to the Senate amendment a'.i of their party who were present voted for it, anl Mr. Pence announced that if three absent members were present they also would have voted aye.” Col. Livingston says-: “The Demo¬ cratic. House took the Senate bill from necessity, and it is by no means as undemocratic as it has been represent¬ ed to be. It was perhaps the bitterest pill 10 the Republican side of the House, that has been administered b> them this Congress, and this fact should go a long way to commend it to the Dem¬ ocratic masses. it makes a reduction Including raw materials, of aliout fifty p -r cent, under the McKinley bill. With the bills passed immediately thereafter, especially the sugar bill, (he Republi¬ can party will have no advantage be¬ fore the people in the fall elections, and if the Democrats stir themselves as they should >ve will undoubtedly con- trol the next House. The masses should remember that ihe Senate bill retains the tax on incomes, which Is clearly an offset in favor of the people against whatever tax the bill may contain in favo-r of the Sugar Trust. The Demo¬ cratic parfy should and can win under tiiis bill.” Mr. Cabaniss says: 'It was the best d: y’s work that has been done in tIn- House this session. The Senate bill is not what I wanted, nor what I thin’. the country ought to have: but it is the best that we could get, and it is a great deal better than the McKinley bill. Taxation under it is a great deal less than under Ihe present law. More¬ over we passed bills to put sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire on the free list. If the Senate will only pass these bills the taxation of the people will be reduced 175.000,000 per annum. Yes, we did a good day’s work, and the peo¬ ple will appreciate it.” Ben Russell says: “Yesterday was a glorious day for the Democratic party. The passage of the tariff bill, as amended by the Senate, with the income tax, was the beet that could be done, but it was a long stride on the road of tariff re¬ form. Our adtion yesterday repealed the McKinley law, which has burdened our people since 1890, and gives us one which will relieve many of the necessi¬ ties of the people from taxation. The passage by the House of bills putting iron, coal, barbed wire and sugar on the free list was the proper thing to do. Say what you please about the tariff hill passed yesterday, hut the Republicans fought it bitterly, which was to its credit, anil it is the best given to the country in over forty years. It insures the con¬ tinuation of Democratic supremacy. The next House will be Democratic” Mr. Tate says: “The tariff bill, while 1 do not approve some of its features, goes far toward.reducing the tariff taxes on the people. It was the best hill we could get from the Senate. Even our Populist friends realize the great bene¬ fits of the Senate Mil by giving it their support.” Judge Turner’s advocacy of the Will on the floor spoke for itself. Col. Lester says the bill is one which he can fearless¬ ly present to his people during his com¬ ing campaign. Judge Maddox, .iu previous interviews, has endorsed fully the Senate bill, and has on more than one occasion expressed the hope that it would become a law. Judge Lawson said: “The enemies of tariff reform can claim what they rail imagine, but the bill passed is a goed one and should receive the hearty sup¬ port of every true Democrat." A. W. B.

The hill introduced by Senator Alton (Populist), of Nebraska, granting a pension to soldiers, sailors, ma¬ rines and t.lieir widows and orphans, was reported to the Senate today adversely from the Committee on Pensions. ANARCHISTS AHRESTEI1. They Were Cuiitslil Willi the Deadly Material* on Hunil. Rotnc, Aug. 14.—Several anarchists were arrested yesterday at an open air meeting in the suburbs. The poliee searched their lodgings near the centre of the city today, and found bombs, explosives and tools and chemicals for the manufacture off, such articles. The Italian Government has ex- pelled the’ F'l-encti socialist, deQuetcliy, for some time a member of the French Cham¬ ber off Deputies.

THE IN I TED STATES MAKES UNIM- POUTANT CONCESSIONS. AND THEREBY GAINS IMPORTANT POINTS FROM CHINA. It In Practically the Same ,as the Ilayard Treaty. Washington, D. C., Aug. 14.—The new Chinese treaty, to the ratification of which the Senate agreed yesterday without amendment, is practically the same convention as that negotiated dur¬ ing President Cleveland’s administra¬ tion by Mr. Bayard, and which the Senate at that time so loaded .down with modifications as to render obnox¬ ious to the Chinese Government, and caused its failure. The action of the I Senate yesterday is therefore regard ed by the Department of State as a comp’.e e vindication of Mr. Bayard’s attempt to provide a fair basis of un¬ derstanding between this Government and the Chinese, and is taken as fairly indicative of the advanced stand the American people have taken on the Mongolian question. The important point about the treaty is that it takes f the place of 1 he one-sided exclusion i laws adop'ed by Congress, an-l in sat¬ isfying China, inaugurates a better feeling between the two interested coun¬ tries. While it avoids (he string of ex¬ clusions, it accomplishes more seclu¬ sion than existing laws, in that it se¬ cures the cordial co-operation of China to the end of absolutely prohibiting ail immigration of Chinese laborers for ten years, and in the second article gives the United States Treasury De¬ partment authority to make restrictive regiuiatiiKns for - the future which will permanently prevent undesirable im¬ migration and specifically prohibits the naturalization of Chinese. The only clause of the treaty not contained in the Bayard draft and the one that has aroused the greatest.op¬ position is the fifth article, tn which the. United States recognizes the right of China to enact and enforce laws sim¬ ilar to our own exclusion acts again.*' United Slates laborers in China, and provides that the United States shall furnish the Chinese Government reports giving -he name, age, occupation and place of residence in China of all Amer- can citizens, including missionaries. The apparent opposition to the ques¬ tions readily disappears when it is known that this information has been regularly furnished to (he Chinese Gov¬ ernment for many years, it being tile custom of Americans to register at out consulates, and of consuls fo furnish these lists to the local authorities m order that protection might be afforded to such missionaries and travellers in case of necessity. When such lists are furnished, Chinese authorities assume full responsibility for the safety- of such persons. Tin-re is nothing humiliating about this regis-ration, as all Ameri¬ ca?! travellers well know under the Swiss taw an alien can reside only a fortnight in the country in public ho¬ tels with governmental permission, and the laws of Germany and France are extremely stringent in the samp direc¬ tion, every alien being under surveil¬ lance continually in both countries. It is a maxim of international law that an alien Is amenable to the laws of the country in which he resides, and by the present treaty the United States has, by apparent concessions to China, secured that country’s friendly assist¬ ance 'o the enforcement of our Chinese 'exclusion 'laws, and to the protection of Americans in China without making a single practical concession. The fact that the Senate agreed to the treaty without amendment, and by an overwhelming majority, indicates the confidence of that body that the interests of the United States are fair¬ ly protected. TENNESSEE DEMOCK ATS. Tlie Danger of Populism Bring* Them Together Ilnrniodiously. Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 14.-The Demo¬ cratic State convention will meet here to¬ morrow to nominate a candidate for Gov¬ ernor. There is no opposition to the re- noinlnaHon of Governor Peter Turney, which will doubtless be made by acclama¬ tion. There is much division among Ten¬ nessee Democrats on the Mirer question, but tlie disposition among the delegates who Have so far arrived is towards com¬ promise rather than contention. This makes it probable that the financial plank in the platform will declare for the coinage of both gold and silver at such a ratio as will preserve the parity of the two metal-s, or some other indefinite phrase that both fac¬ tions can claim as an expression of tnelr views. The Democratic majority in the recent Supreme Court judge’s election over tlie Republican and Populist fusion was only about 16,000, and the Republicans olalm that they could have won if their forces had, been thoroughly aroused. They will make a determined effort, to elect the Populist nominee for Governor in Novem¬ ber, -ancT this state of affairs has awakened tlie Democrats fo the necessity of pre¬ serving party harmony.

Detroit, Mich., Aug. 11.—Mayor fili¬ gree this afternoon swore out warrants against Bruce Goodfellow, president of the fire department, Secretary Try on of the committee, and Assistant Fire Chief Ellett, charging them with conspiracy and assault, and they have been arrested. The trouble arose over an order which the Mayor gave a local reporter to ex¬ mine the books of the fire committee. The reporter was refused access to the books by Secretary Tryon last evening and the Mayor went in person with the reporter to the office of the fire commit¬ tee and demanded to see the hooks. The office was closed and President Good- fellow refused to reopen It. An alterca¬ tion ensued when Goodfellow -called on FJlett. to throw the reporter from the building. Mayor Pingree internoaed and several firemen were called up from be¬ low. While two or three of them held Mayor Pingree, the rest ejected the re¬ porter. The city lawyers advised the Mayor that he had a right, to examine the hooks at any time, and that the obstructing commissioner and employes could be charged with conspiracy, hence the warrants. Goodfellow. Tryon and Eilett were arraigned in police court and bail fixed at $1,000 in each case which was promptly furnished. Ex-Czar Reed did not cut much of a figure yesterday. Speaker Crisp and Congressman Turner put him in his place with the ease of polished parlia¬ mentarians. $1.00 a Year In Advance. KOLBISM !S DEAD. AM) THIS COFFIN IS SENT TO SEN¬ ATOR IIOAIt.

There was 'iiotihing in its appear¬ ance and workmanship to smggesr* repose, but. as a token of live Democracy it was a howling success.

A suit ■which mast necessarily bring up again all the sensational details of the Harry Hill case was today filed by Mr. W. E. Hill against Mrs. Faimy Lowry Porter. The suit is for the recovery of $200. which the plaintiff alleges that he loaned Mrs. Porter through her agent, J. YV. Eohol's, on May 12th, 1893. Mr Hill is a cousin of Harry Hill, anfl was one of the leading witnesses for the defence in the trial of Harry Hill. He alleges in his suit that the 'money was bor¬ rowed by Mips. Porter for the purple of getting Harry out of the State, and that she has persistently refused to pay the claim. Mr. Hill sues for 'the principal, to¬ gether with the accumulated interest. The suit occasions no - little talk here. The plaintiff is one of the leading members of the Governor’s Horse Guards, and- can unlatch the door of the inner circle at will. THE REV EM I,, What Wilt lie tin- Income Fuller the Present System. Washington, Aug. 14.—The passage of the tariff bill had led to various esti¬ mates to the effect it will have, should it not meet with a veto (which, lof course, regarded as altogether out of the ques¬ tion), upon the national revenues, T lie following figures from official doevments, are at once of interest: Treasury estimate for the fiscal year, 1895, aggregated revenues of $454,427,- 748 from these sources: Customs, $190,- 000,000; internal revenue, $160,000,000; miscellaneous items, $20,000,000; postal service, $84,427,74S. The estimate of revenue under the tariff bill, as it passed the House, made a total of $442,085,- 177.32 divided as follows: Customs, $124,657,429; internal revenue (under present law), $160,000,000; internal rev- enue additional (under House bill), $73,- 000,000; miscellaneous Items, (under present law), $20,000,000; post >1 service, .(under present law), $84,427,748. The estimate of revenues under 'the House bill, as amended and passed by the Senate July 3, 1894, exceeds iu the aggregate both the two previous esti¬ mates, and gives the following show-rig: Customs, $179,251,142; internal revenue (as above Stated), $213,000,OtX); rr..scel- -laneons items, (as above stated.,, $20,- 000,000; postal service, as above suited), $84,427,748. Total $496,678,890. Under the House bill the ad valorem tales of duty showed a decrease of duty amount¬ ing to $73,716,023. In this < oulpi’tation, articles that are free from duty are ex- I eluded.

There is money in butter and chess*, and all it requires to abstract 10 is a little Intelligence and skill. “While on my Hancock farm,’’ says Gov¬ ernor Northern "1 sold all the butter I could market at to cents a pound. The earn? thing can be done again.” Just think of the thousands of pounds of butter daily consumed in Atlanta. Add to It the butter consumed In Augusta, S«j'- annah, Maoon, Columbits and other cities and towns of Georgia. For this cash has to be paid, and th© unfortunate part of it is that the cash goes, not Into the pockets of Georgia dalry- men, but into the pockets of farmer. In Illinois and New York. One wholesale grocer tn Savannah reports that he takes the entire annual product of an Illinois dairy of nvo hundred cows. Beside* the eonsumpiion of Butter there is that of cheese. The money spent in this artlcl* must reach into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. No wonder 1* It that the man with a magnificent crop of cotton cries ont before he picks it up that he Is bankrupt. Who would not be bankrupt when he neg¬ lected all the diversified possibilities of the farm for one article? There are'shine men In Ui-orsm. pioneers In Industry, who have made fortunes in butter and--cheese. One of the largest fortunes nr Georgia today is built upon that foundation. A wealthy cotton dealer In a neighboring city got on the wrong side of the market, and lost all he had. He was already 3n aged man with an Invalid wire-. Disappearing from the scene of their misfortune, It was only to appear five veers later richer than ever. The couple had gone to the sulturbs of another city, where they were not known. With two (■mix fficy began life afresh, The ex-cot- ton dealer peddled his butter and milk from dour to door. Of course, he succeeded and made money, and, a« he increased hi* stock, spread out his business. The name of that man would surprise the people of Georgia today, would he consent to it* use. Georgia Col. Redding, rhe director of the Experimental farm, recognizing the great possibilities of this Industry, has called a ramveutioiuof dairymen to be held at the farm. It is to be li-oped that ail lnTlted will attend, as it will begin a new era In the development of the State.—Constitu¬ tion. PICTURE OF NAPOLEON'S MOTHoR.
