Democratic Pledges.
Speaker Carlisle has been to Albany,
N. Y., to confer with Mr. Cleveland,
at the suggestion of the latter.
The associated press dispatches con
cerning Mr. Carlisle’s visit represent
him as not desiring a Cabinet position
for himself,but as being “very anxious
that Cleveland shall appoint a tariff re
former as Secretary of the Treasury.”
Well, we should think he w'ould
be decidedly anxious * in that di
rection—or earnest, rather, just as is
every other real Democrat. It is not a
matter suggestive of anxiety. The
convention that nominated Mr. Cleve
land put bim on a platform that de
manded tariff reform and that pledged
the Democratic party to honest efforts
to secure that end. He accepted the
nomination and endorsed the platform;
and it would be passing strange if he
were not as eager as Mr. Carlisle and j
all other real Democrats to see tariff re- j
formers in the Cabinet.
The high tariff Democratic Republi
cans are welcome to all the comfort
they can draw from Mr. Cleveland’s
evident purpose to carry out the
pledges made by the convention which
nominated him for the Presidency.

As to the Offices.
A press dispatch from Washington
City makes the statement that “the ras
cals will have to go,” in the opinion of
even the office-holders of that city of
jobs and feed-troughs. This conclu
sion is based upon the belief that Hr.
Cleveland will not be controlled by the
sentiments set forth in his civil service
reform letter to George William Cur
tis.
It is a little peculiar that any one
should think that therp is any conflict
between the enunciations of the letter
in question and the general policy of
turning the rascals ont. He was in
deed a superficial reader who failed to
see, in that able and patriotic letter, a
paragraph in which the duty of turn
ing the rascals Out was plainly and suc
cinctly set forth. It is nonsense to sup
pose that the doing of that thing in
volves any withdrawejj of the Cards
letter, or any violation of any of its
specific pledges of a policy of retention.
If only the office-holders who have
made a partisan' use of their federal
positions shall go, there will be vacan
cies enough to fill the hearts of scores
of thousands of office-seekers with fond
anticipations.
Individual Effort.
Matters in Georgia are quiet.'
There
no undue excitement anywhere in
the State. The general’ elections are
all over, and the people, except in a
few localities where special elections
are to be held on the prohibition ques
tion^ have settled down to the work of
the new year. This work varies ac
cording to locality. The State, stretch-'
ing from the mountains on the north
to semi-tropical Florida on the south,
presents a variety of soil and climate,
unsurpassed in the whole country, for
variety, of pursuits and productions.
It contains within itself the possibili
ties of a teeming population and of
great prosperity.
The new year may witness great
progress in the way of material devel
opment in the State. It will witness
this advancement if the people do their
duty. Intelligent and industrious hu
man effort is the only condition to the
unexampled prosperity of the State.
It is to be hoped that this effort will
be put forth, and that the year will wit
ness great results. Every man and
woman in the State should feel under
strong personal obligations to contrib
ute something to the grand aggregate
of the year’s triumphs.
“It is scarcely necessary to say that
if 3Ir. Cleveland shall take position in
favor of the continuance of the inter
nal revenue system, he will disappoint
tlie country and imperil the success of
Ills administration,” says the Hacon
Telegraph. Of course it is “scarcely
necessary” te say anything of the sort.
It isn’t necessary at all, for it isn’t
true. 3Ir. Cleveland will disappoint
the country grievously, however, if he
joins the factory-annex papers in
howling for free liquor, in order that
the “war taxes” on the necessaries of
life may be maintained. It is very ev
ident that Hr. Cleveland will not please
the Telegraph, if he earries out the
pledges of the Democratic party as set
forth in the Chicago platform. The
Telegraph has denounced the platform
more than once. What it wants is free
liquor and enslaved trade.
The high tariff papers howl about
the internal revenue taxes because they
are “war taxes.” So they are; but
nobody is under the necessity of buy
ing liquor or tobacco. So are the cus
tom house taxes on blankets, clothing,
axes, thoes, irace chains, bagging, salt,
sugar, rice, crockery, furniture, car
pets, and everything else that enters
into the every day cosumption of the
people of this country; but the high
tariff papers make no fuss over the fact.
The truth is, they want to get the “war
taxes” taken off of whiskey and tobac
co in order that this may necessitate
leaving the “war taxes” on the lines of
articles mentioned above. It is very
thin and very wicked.
pose of those who are leading in the
matter in this country to raise the fund
by private subscription; but the con
tributions received up to this time do
not indicate the success of the move
ment. It would be a disgrace to the
whole country if this token of affec
tionate remembrance from the French
people should reach this conntry-
wili early in Hay—and find no prep
arations made for its reception and im
mediate erection.
An idea has prevailed in some quar
ters that this gift was made to Xew
York, and that the raising of the ped
estal fund, therefore, is a matter which
concerns only the people of that State.
This mistake has been corrected; but
the correction of it has not been fol
lowed by any great increase in the pri
vate contributions towards the end in
dicated above.
Under the circumstances toe way out
of the difficulty is plain. Congress
represents toe people of toe United
States, and an appropriation should be
made from toe public treasury for lay
ing toe foundation of the magnificent
monument. It would surely be appro
priate. Better still, it would leave no
doubt as to toe completion of the pre
liminary steps for toe erection of toe
master-piece of art, on toe instant.of
its arrival.
This is a matter of national import
ance, and it should be given a national
consideration in toe great Bepresenta-
tive body of the Union. And there
should be no delay about it, for toe
ease is urgent.
Methods.
Heat is now very low priced, and
many farmers are laying in their sup
plies for toe year. This is probably
toe part of wisdom. It may be that
prices will go up very soon. However,
the policy of several of toe European
Governments in placing heavy duties
on American meat products may serve
to lessen the foreign demand for such
products, and he followed by a long
period of low prices in toe markets of
this country. This certainly would be
the natural consequence of throwing
on the home markat the supplies which
would have been shipped to Europe
but for toe hostile legislation of which
we have spoken.
But whether ruling prices continue
as at present, wisdom suggests that
farmers should grow their own meat
supplies. By so doing they get a bet
ter article, and are not compelled to
take any of the risks of going into the
market.
In addition to tote, it may be laid
down as a rule to which there are but
few if any exceptions, that no farmer
should be a consumer instead of a pro
ducer of the very line of necessaries
which constitute the staple of farm
products. It will be found, in toe long
run, that uo one article of farm pro
duce can be cultivated to the exclusion
of all others without causing distress
ahd periods of long coutinued depres
sion. Whatever other duties may de
volve upon farmers of a given section
they cannot doubt that their leading
obligation consists in furnishing toe
provision snpplies upon which that sec
tion is to be maintained.
The farm economy that fails to recog
nize toe controlling character of this
obligation is fatally defective, and ne
cessarily leads to periods of scarcity
and distress. The only indication of
promise for toe future of this section
grows out of the fact that this truth is
being recognized and acted upon by
leading farmers in all toe counties of
toe State. It will be found as a rule,
without exception, that the counties in
which this rational obligation, as set
forth in this article, is most fully rec
ognised, are far ahead of their sister
counties in all the elements of pros
perity.
The New Orleans Exposition.
The New Orleans Exposition doesn’t
seem to have met with the financial
Tub efforts of the “Pig Iron” Kelley
wing of the Democratic party to induce
Mr. Cleveland to favor abolishing toe
hundred million-dollar revenue de
rived from the internal revenue sys
tem, in order that the custom house
taxes may be increased in the interest
of toe coal, iron and mill men of toe
country, don’t seem to be succeeding.
Strike tile shackles from trade in toe
necessaries of life! This is Democratic
doctrine.
The United States is “a Government
of the people and for the people” in
name, bat not in fact. It is a Govern
ment in whieh the pampered interests
of toe few outweigh all considerations
of justice and fair-dealing towards the
many. It is a Government in which
poor men of all callings are deliberate
ly and villainously taxed to put money
in the pockets of greedy and Conscience
less manufacturers. It is a Govern
ment “for the people” only in toe
sense that it “goes for” all they have,
to distribute it amongst the monopo
lists. But the Democratic party is
pledged to reform these abuses. The
people will see toe pledge redeemed, or
will know toe reason why.
We have received the speech of Con
gressman Townshend, of Illinois, on
the proposed American Zollverein, as
toe most effectual means of extending
toe trade of this country with Mexico
and Central and South America. The
idea is good as far as it goes, but it
does not go far enough.. There isn’t a
man living that can give a sensible
reason for restricting toe free trade in
volved in this customs-union to the
western hemisphere. Why should
trade with Great Britain be enslaved
while trade with South America is
made free? Strike toe fetters from the
limbs of all trade, and let our free ships
cover all seas. This is toe demand of
economy, of wisdom, of honesty, of
sound policy. . .
The Cullom inter-State commerce
bill passed the Senate by a vote of 43 to
12. Senator Colquitt voted against toe

Senator Van Wyck was the only Re

The bill will now go to toe House as a
substitute for toe Reagan bill. It will
not be accepted as such, and so legis
lation on toe subject will probably foil
during toe present Congress.
A press dispatch from Washington
City announces that “Governor Cleve

common people, and actually be too
honest to dead-beat a hotel.

It was too big a load for so small a
craft to carry. It seems that nothing
but an appropriation from Congress
can save it from collapse. But a clear
idea of the troubles is given in the fol
lowing special, which we reproduce
from the Constitution:
New Orleans, February 3.—Direc
tor General Burke’s statement to the
United States Commissionershows that
toe Exposition is $300,000 in debt, and
that it cannot be kept open after Mardi
Gras unless toe Government makes an
other loan.
The tone of toe press here to-day in
dicates a grand collapse.
THE MATTER STATED.
While the question of the World’s
Exposition finances has not been pub
licly mentioned, except in a general
way, since the meeting at which the
generous subscription of the members
of toe Cotton Exchange and other cit
izens tided toe management over
pressing difficulties, the subject has,
neverteless, been thoroughly canvassed
by parties in interest. The exhibitors
association took toe matter up to-day
at a special meeting. The Director
General was to have been present to
explain to toe exhibitors what steps
had been taken, but" instead of attend
ing he sent a telegram informing
them that at a meeting of toe State
Commissioners had the present evening
it had been decided to appoint an exec
utive committee to proceed to Wash
ington, and to memorialize Congress
for an additional appropriation to cover
toe deficit of $319,000. He suggested
that if the exhibitors thought fit to ap
point a committee to co-operate with
toe Commissioners’ committee, the
Commissioners were ready to receive
them. The meeting concluded with
toe adoption of a resolution indorsing
the State Commissioners’ appeal to
Congress for aid, and appointing a
committee to confer with the United
States Commissioners' executive com
mittee. Hr. Heed, United StatesCom-
missioner of Vermont, who was pres
ent at toe exhibitors' meeting, stated
that toe exposition was more than pay
ing running expenses now. All that
was wanted was funds to pay back toe
indebtedness. The committee of the
Commissioners win leave for Washing

THE FOURTH BANK.
Another Investment by the Lewis.
Brothers.
It affords the Nbws and Adver
tiser pleasure to reproduce from the
Hawkinsvllle Dispatch the following
complimentary article with reference
to the Lewi%brothers, who have a bank
and flourishing mercantile business in
this city:—
“Mr. Robert G. Lewis and his
brother John F. went- down into
Southern Georgia last week in search
of a suitable point for the establish
ment of a new banking and mercantile
business. Their objective point was
Thomasville, but we learned that they
decided upon Valdosta, and purchased
a lot in that place and will proceed to
erect buildings for their business.
The Lewis brothers are notable for
their business tact and ability as finan
ciers, and for their integrity and ster
ling qualities as citizens. Their father,
the late John F. Lewis, was one of the
most successful merchants and bank
ers in this part of the State. He
amassed a large fortune iii the mercan
tile business at M6htezuma and Gum
Creek. His residence was at Gum
Creek, but a year or two before his
death he invested in property in Raw-
kinsville, and located here and estab
lished the banking house of Lewis,
Leonard & Co., and Hie mercantile
business of John P. Lewis & Co.
These two branches , of business have
for several years been nnder the con
trol and .supervision of his son Robert
G., who, though quite a young man,
has achieved aajjenviable reputation as a
prudent and successful financier, while,
at the same time, lie has shown great
liberality and accommodations iu his
transactions with the public.
The Lewis brothers have now'three
banking houses—Hawkinsvflle, Monte
zuma, and Albany—and Valdosta w*ill
make the fourth. They have a large
capital, and in connection with their
banking business they run large stores
w ‘. ~ * hich
of general merchandise, which they
sell to fdrmers for cash or on time.
They seem to have inherited their
father’s tact and qualifications, and are
not only able to take care of the for
tune left them, but are augmenting it
by energy, industry and economy.
The old saying that “rich men’s sons
leave off where poor men’s sons begin”
will hardly be verified iu the careers of
the sons of the late John F. Lewis;
Any community should feel proud of
their citizenship and enterprises.

Feb. 5,1832.
In looking over the newspapers and period!'
cals of the day for occasional short stories,
suitable for publication in the News and Ad-
vrrtisxr, we have been struck with the scar
city of such literature and the inferiority of
the average short stories published. We have
alfo been struck with the fact that very few of
the stories published are from Southern auth
ors, or relate to Southern life and incidents.
In order to encourage Southern authorship,
and, at the same time, procure interesting
original stories for the Nkwh and Advertiser,
we have concluded to offer the following cash
prizes:
For the best original story, not to exceed six
columns of the Daily Nxws and Adtxxtise*
in length, $20
For the second best original story, not to ex
ceed six columns of the Daily News and
Advertiser, in length^ $10.
In order to give those who have not been ac
customed to writing for the press an idea of
the space to be occupied, we will state that
four pages of foolscap, ih Ordinary hand writ
ing, may be safely estimated for a column. We
cannot, of course,- expect a rigid compliance
upon the'part of contestants with the restric
tion as to space, but the limit is made in order
to keep the writers from making their stories
too long; and each one will be expected So-
have some regard for limit.
THR PLAN OF AWARD.
One lady and one gentleman, who will bo
residents of Albany, and who will be selected
with a due regard for culture and literary
taste, will be selected by us to read each story
separately and make the awards. Iu case
they should not be able to agree, they will be
authorized to select a third party, whose de
cision with that of one of the first parties shall
lie final. The names of the lady and gentle
man whom we shall aak to aid us in this scheme
will be announced in due time, and each con
testant may lie assured that his or her story
will be considered upon its merits alone, lor
the judges will not know who the writers are.
The real name of the writer must accompany
his or her manuscript, but this will be with
held from the judges, and is required only as a
guaranty of good faith, and for the use of the
publishers after the award is made. The real
name of the author will be held in confidence
by toe publishers, and will not he made public
without permission, after the awards are
made.'
Vain and sensitive persons who are liable to
place too high an estimate upon their produc
tions, mud thereby disqualify themselves for
accepting the Award of the judges in good
faith, are requested not to eater into this
competition, which is intended to develop lite
rary talent and encourage young writers
among the friends and patrons of the News
AND ADVERTISE*. ^i!r‘ )
WHEN AND HOW TO SEND IK KANCSCRJIT.
This offer Win bo kept open until the 1st of
March, when it will positively be closed, and
the manuscript of the different contestants
turned over to toe judges. Contestants can
them in at the office in person.
The prize stories will be published in both
the Daily and Weekly News a;
If this scheme works well, we propose to
keep it up, and offer a number of valuable
prizes for stories during the present year.
For any further information that may be de
sired, address or apply to
