The Telegraph’s Recklessness.
The absurdest and meanest of all the
anti-Cleveland fuiinination that have
appeared in the Kacon Teltgmph, since
the defeat of Blaine, was printed In its
Tuesday’s issue, entitled “something
definite from the Presidential con
ference.”
It contained nothing definite at all,
except its gross misrepresentation of
facts. It was wildly and absurdly in
accurate.
It was stupidly so, where it repre
sented certain Republican papers and
orators of New York as having “led
the Democratic party dnringthe recent
campaign,” though it mnst be confess
ed that they were nearer the head of
the Democratic column than the
Telegraph.
It was shamefully inaccurate, where
It represented Colquitt, Norwood,
Turner, NichoBs, Hardeman and Cle
ments as advocating O. A. Lochrane
for a position in the Cabinet
But there is something worse than
all this in the wretched editorial under
consideration. It affects to believe
that the editor of the New York World
was badly treated by Ur. Cleveland at
the conference. It says:

Great uncertainty still exists as to

A Special Session.
It is difficult to appreciate the hor
ror which certain Democratic papers
manifest over the possibility of a spe
cial session of the 49th Congress. Ibis
opposition is not due to considerations
of economy, for Congress is wisely
paid by the job, instead of by the day.
Certain of the reforms which the
Democratic party stands pledged to set
on foot can be best begun while Con
gress is in session. Some of them can
not be instituted at all without Con
gressional action; and this is why we
hope to see a special session of the new
Congress, commencing with the inau
guration of Hr. Cleveland.
It will beTouhd that this constitutes
that the English army in the Soudan the ground of opposition to a special
pose to stand by his newly made friends, the
Time* may be considered to stand in close and
confidential relation to him. Fnthermo
this view is strengthened by the treatment __
Mr. Pulitzer, of the World, during the confer
ence. It had come to be accepted that the
World waa the organ of Mr. Cleveland. But
when Mr. Pulitzer called to see him and sent
up his card, the negro usher told Mr. Pulitzer
to wait. Mr. Pulitzer declared that he had
abandoned the business of waiting on

It is undoubtedly a slander on the
Georgia delegation to Mr. Cleveland,
to say that its jnembers advocated
Lochrane for a Cabinet position.
The editor of the Telegraph will
probably be gratified to know that
Mr. Cleveland was highly pleased with
Senators Colquitt and Lamar.

Here Is a distinct statement that Mr.
Pulitzer* was angered by an alleged
affront af the hands of Mr. Cleveland,
and that he went to his editorial room
and fired the lot of dynamitic rot above
quoted at the Presinent-elect. Well,
it isn’t the truth. The Telegraph has
garbled its quotation from the World,
and made Editor Pulitzer say what he
was just as far as possible from saying.
To leave no doubt about the correct
ness of this criticism on the^ peculiar
anti-Cleveland journalism of theMacon
Telegraph we reproduce the whole
paragraph from the World, as follows:
-The infuriated editor of the Cincinnati
Commercial Gazette has at last found some
thing tangible to take bold of in dealing with
the Democratic President-elect. The fact
that Mr. Cleveland is stopping at a hotel in
this city named in honor of Queen Victoria has
given great offence to the dynamiters who
supported Blaine and the news is thus con
veyed in startling headlines to the readers of
the Commercial Gazette:
STOPPED AT THE VICTORIA.

CLEVELAND DID THIS YESTERDAY.

The Alleged Meteor Flag of England, Which
is Brilliantly Apt^ior all the Tories
Were for Him.
Now who will say that we have not arrived
at the day of small things*”
So it will be seen that the headlines
in question are quoted in the World
from the Cincinnati Commercial-Ga
zette—the meanest Republican sheet'in
the country, and one that hates Cleve
land as bad as the Telegraph does; and
tliat Editor Pulitzer quotes these head
lines, in order to show the absurd fury
of poor Halstead against the in-coming
President. The concluding sentence
in the World's paragraph plainly refers
to the littleness of the Commercial-Ga
zette, and not to Cleveland’s conduct,
as the Telegraph would have its readers
believe.
Now, there is a specimen of journal
ism from a paper which claims to be
“great and good!” It deliberately
clips a quotation, unfriendly to Mr.
Cleveland, from a paper that is friendly
to him, charges the authorship of the
quotation to the paper from whose
columns it is garbled, and makes it the
basis of an attack on the Democratic
President elect l Such a course indi
cates either total depravity or unmiti
gated stupidity.
The people of Georgia are not apt to
give countenance to such methods—es
pecially when their object is the tear
ing down of the newly elected Presi
dent. They have an interest in him
which the Telegraph cannot claim anil
does not seem willing to appreciate.
The French claim to have won
another two-for-a-nickel victory in
Tonquin. At the present rate of pro
gress, the complete conquest of that
Province will take something less than
two thousand years.
The line of Italian advance into the
Soudan is south of the route from Sua-
kim to Berber and nearly parallel with
it. Massowah, as nearly as can be as
certained from tiie map, is about 480
miles from Khartoum.
Connecticut purposes putting a
tax on incomes. It is a wise step. The
internal revenue tax and a tax on in
comes would enable the United States
to tear down its custom houses and
give the country free trade.
The Morning News very correctly
says that “members of Congress and
State Legislatures ought to be prohib
ited from accepting favors from corpo
rations.” The suggestion is too forci
ble in itself to need the prop of ar
gument.
Italy’s purpose to assist England in

P. I. K. Inserts.
Some of the papers affect to be great
ly grieved at what they call the “em
barrassment” of Mr. Cleveland and the
Democratic party. These papers are'
invariably of the sore-headed sort; and,
in announcing the existence of the
troubles to which they refer, it is plain
that they are disposed to magnify the
consequences of their disposition to
hinder and confuse the ’ in-coming Ad
ministration. Their evident purpose
to hold back, going up hill, and to
snort and plunge, going down hill,
doesn’t amount to anything like a ca
lamity. Ti.ey constitute the proverb
ial gnat on the horn of the Democratic
ox—this and nothing more.
Mr. Cleveland’s dispensation will not
have its usefulness seriously impaired
by these P. I. Kelley insects. The
masses in the United States demand re
forms in the Government. They de
mand cleaner methods in all the depart
ments of Government. They demand
a lessening of the burdens of taxation
on articles of every day consumption
in the houses of the poor. They de
mand that taxation shall be limited to
the actual necessities of the Govern-

. The sluggish British War Office has
been at last aroused to activity by the
Khartoum disaster., and by the threat
ened annihilation of the columns of
Generals Earle and Stewart. It isn
likely that anything can now be done
in the way of sending out re-enforce
ments, to rescue these detachments.
They may save themselves by heroic
fighting; but it Is more probable that
they will fall away under the fierce at
tacks of the overwhelming hordes of
El Mahdi. The British have been
ont-generalled. It remains to be seen
what discipline and individual heroism
can do to retrieve the disasters of the
campaign.
It doesn’t need to be stated that Eng
land can’t afford to stop, now, short of
the overthrow of El Mabdi. His tri
umphs have already excited the Mos-
snlman population of Asia, almost be
yond restraint. To succeed in driving
the British out of the Soudan, after de
stroying several of their armies, would
be the signal for a revolt in British In
dia, by its large and warlike Moham
medan people. To avert a disaster like
that the English war authorities may
well make hasty and large preparations.
The Soudan campaign has now be
come one of world wide interest, be
cause of the great questions necessarily
involved in it. Its bearing on British
rule in India and Turkish rule in Eu
rope and Africa make it the most im
portant campaign that has been en
gaged in for years, the world over.
Unhappy Haman.
“The interview between Mr. Cleveland and
Mr, Colquitt ought not to consume much time.
As we understand it, Mr. Cleveland's custom
is merely to absorb information and shed
none.”
It isn’t necessary to credit the double
sneer, quoted above, to the Macon Tel
egraph. There Isn’t a reader of this
paper that wouldn’t know its parentage
and its animus, in the dark.
Mr. Cleveland has committed a num
ber of unpardonable sins from the
standpoint of the P. I. Kelley organ.
In the first place, he was nominated
against the cranky opposition of the
organ.
In the second place, he was
elected without the support of the or
gan, and, as many believe, in spite of
its secret but virulent opposition.
In the third place, he fails to avail
himself of the multitudinous sugges
tions of the organ as to how he should
construct his cabinet and as to what line
of policy should clialacterize his ad
ministration. He is actually oblivious
to the colicky existence of the organ.
In the fourth place, he consults with
Senator Colquitt rather than with Sen
ator Brown as a representative Demo
crat from Georgia. He probably re
members what each of them was en
gaged at about the year 18G8, a little
better than the P. I. Kelley organ does.
He probably is afraid to trust Speer
Democrats.
And so the organ is hot. It ought to
be hot. It has a little hair left, and it
ought to tear it, and spank itself and
sit down in the ashes. It cannot bear
to see Colquitt in honor with the new
President. Its case reminds one of
Haman. Nothing of all the good he
enjoyed availed anything, so long as he
“saw Mordecai, the Jew, sitting at the
king’s gate.
session on the part of the papers in
question. They are opposed to reforms
in the tariff laws of the country. They
are down on what they call “tariff
tinkering.” They don’t want the arti
ficial profits of the manufacturing mo*
| nopolies interfered with. The pledges
of the Democratic party excite their
malignant opposition.
But it isn’t so with the people at
large. They want the work of reform
to begin at once and in earnest. * Let
the 49th Congress meet and get down
to the work of reform.
In the House “a resolution was
adopted reserving the whole of the
east gallery of the House for the ac
commodation of the families of Sena
tors and members during the counting
of the electoral vote on Wednesday
next.” It suggests the question: How
much better are the families of Sena
tors and Representatives than those of
the people? Is it thought a disgrace
in Washington for the families of
statesmen to mingle with the ignobile
valgus?
According to the Chicago Tribune
and Inter-Ocean, both rabid Republi
can sheets, the negroes up in Illinois
are having a hard time. Their chil
dren have been beaten and driven from
the public schools, and many threats
have been made against the “colored
man and brother,” generally. As H-
linois is a Republican" State, under Re
publican officials, the existing state of
affairs cannot be attributed to Demo
crats. Negroes don’t mind being
kicked by Republicans.
The Congo complications have not
cleared up. By seizing on both banks
of the Congo river, Portugal has defied
the rest of Europe. It will not likely
lead to war; for Portugal will prefer
receding from the position quietly to
being driven from it ingloriously by
force. If there be any statesmen in
that effete monarchy, they will not be
long in concluding that a good run
beats a poor stand.
Sensible people are not mad because
President Cleveland does not leak, as to
his plans,like a cracked jug. Occasional
ly a newspaper animal rises up on his
hind legs and howls: “What is the
matter with Cleveland? He won’t tell
us where he stands on the tariff ques
tion, and so the country is going to
destruction!” It is a good thing that
such fellows have no influence with
the in-coming President.
We observe that even the most ma
licious organs of the Republican party
have ceased their vagrant criticisms of
President-elect Clevelandremarks
the Atlanta Constitution. It has prob
ably observed that certain vagrant pa
pers, that claim to be Democratic, have
not ceased their mjllclop«i criticisms of
President-el. ‘ r “ They think
poorly of hijji as does Citizen
Blaine, and for much the same reason.
Mb. Cleveland couldn’t do better
than give a Cabinet position to Dan
Manning. But he will not make a
mistake, in any event, provided he
doesn’t get mixed up with the Pig Iron
Kelley Democrats. They can’t he
trusted.
The Senate Judiciary Committee
failed to make any report on Speer’s
case on Monday. There was to have
been a special session of the committee
on yesterday, and it is possible that his
case may then have been acted upon,
as Senator Colquitt had returned from
New York, and was prepared to make
the showing against Speer’s confirma
tion.
The Sam Randall papers will ob
serve, if honest enough to do so, that
their patron saint, who represents a
Republican District in Congress, has
worked in the interest of a special ses
sion of the 49th Congress by delaying
the reports of the various appropriation
bills- They will lay the charge, how
ever, at some other man’s door.
Senator Brows ought to explain to
the free working-men of the country
how they are benefited by his discrim
ination in favor of convict labor, and
how he reconciles this discrimination
with his pretended earnestness to “pro
tect American labor from competition I and so there can be no reciprocity in
at the hands of the pauper labor of' *—*-»--■■■■ «.»— -—-
Europe.” He will have lime to do
this 1 when he gets through protecting

ous, greedy factory lords whenever
they make a purchase in their line.
There is going to be trouble, during
the next four years, sure enough; hut
It will he amongst the monopolists,
who have for so long fattened on the
abuse of the powers of taxation, and
the pitiful little fellows that, day and
night, sweat away their burdensome
lives in monopolistic employ. There
will be howling and embarrassment
enough among them; but the people
are going to rally around the new
President and sustain him in every
purpose to run the Government in the
interest of honest reform.
The P. I. Kelley organs are welcome
to all the comfort which they can ex
tract from the fact.
It isn’t strange that England has the

The ships that sail from Liverpool to

manufactured goods for the natives
and, in return, carry hack to England,
free of prohibitory import duties, car

The failure of England’s Soudan
campaign will be calamitous to the
reigning dynasty in Turkey. The
Turks are an inflammable and super
stitions people. Like a great many
people, even in Georgia, they seem de
voted to humbug and Imposture. They
are sorely tempted already to revolt
and raise the standard of the Mahdi on
the Bosporus. A few more successes
of the Mahdi in the Soudan will make
that result a foregone conclusion. No
wonder the Sultan demands the privi
lege of landing an army at Suakim, to
march against the impostor, who is
succeeding so much better tjian impos
tors usually do; and strange is it that
England stubbornly refuses him the
privilege of arresting the spread of the
great revolt, before it crosses the Red
sea and sweeps up to the gates of Con
stantinople.
Spain is said to be alarmed over the
prospect of the defeat of the reciproci
ty treaty with the United States, and
to be willing to make important addi
tional concessions, to secure its ratifi
cation. The treaty will probably fail.
It admits too many of the necessaries
of life free of duty. It is a step in the
direction of breaking down the Chin
ese wall of protective exclusiveness.
Rice and tobacco and sugar are all
howling against it, and it will have to
go. It is the aggregate power of sel
fish protected interests that has fasten
ed the robber policy of protection, so-
called, on the vitals of the country.
The Democratic party is embarrassed by its
victory. The incoming President appears to
be embarrassed by the Democratic party, and
it would seem that the Democratic party is
embarrassed by the South.—Macon Telegraph.
And, to complete the arraignment,
the South is embarrassed by the sore^
headed nonsense of the Telegraph. It
will probably be discovered that the
embarrassment of that particular one
of the howling anti-Cleveland papers
will increase as it becomes more fully
satisfied of the fact that the “Pig Iron”
Kelley Democrats will not rule the
roost, during the coming genuine
Democratic dispensation.
Italy has designs on Tripoli, to the
great disgust of Turkey. The coloni
zation fever has taken a strong hold on
King Humbert, and Tripoli is fertile
and convenient. The eagerness with
which Italy has entered into the Sou
dan campaign, in support of England,
shows that Humbert will expect the
sympathy of England, and will have
it, in her colonial seheme in North
Africa. It is bat another incident in
the great current of events that point
to the subversion of all Turkish rule in
both Europe and Africa.
. Protectionists claim that “the cost
of the plant” is what prevents manu
facturers in this country from being
able to compete with the product of
the English mills, but it is a hypocrit
ical subterfuge. This is shown from
the fact that the excessive “cost of the
plant” is due solely to the heavy du
ties which protection lays on all ma
chinery used in manufacturing. They
don't want cheap machinery, because
that would cheapen “the cost of the
plant,” and thus deprive them of one
of their false and foolish arguments.
It is humiliating to see how greedy
some of the Democratic statesmen are
for positions in the Cabinet. Their ap
peals are more piteous than those cf
hungry tramps for cold victuals.
The iron trade for 1884 showed a
great falling off as compared with
1883. There was a decrease in produc
tion of pig iron of 557,359 tons; and
the number of blast furnaces In opera
tion on January 1st, 1885 was 236,
while the number of the correspond
ing date of last year was 307. Thus
even the protected interests are perish
ing under the upas tree of protection.
The dynamiters in the United States
evidently confound liberty and license.
The law-making power of the counfry
should take steps to convince them of
the difference between the two;and
satisfy them that, while they may free
ly enjoy the one, they will not be per
mitted to indulge the other.
Society in this country can’t afford
to compromise with the dynamite
method. The interests of the two are
at war with each other, and nothing is
to be gained' by attempting to ignore
the fact. The country should put it
self on record against the methods of
dynamite assassination, and be in
hurry about it.
A s to Rolles Skat eng.
Success at anything requires effort.
Success at some things requires special
j effort, accompanird by an outlay of
funds. Learning the art of roller
skating will come under the head of
things that call for hard work and
strict attention to business ; but it will
be found that, as iu every other study,
some will advance more rapidly than
others.
Almost anybody can learn roller
skating. The main point is to main
tain a perpendicular position. This

head directly over the heels..
As a matter of interest to Albany
students in this pleasurable pastime,
we submit the probable cost of profi
ciency in it:
A pair of skates, $7.50; show clothes,
$50; arnica, $5; court-plaster, $2;
doctor’s bill, $100; crutches, $5. Fu
neral expenses are to be added only in
extreme cases, growing out of neglect
in keeping the head and feet from
changing positions. Of course any
such conduct would involve an inex
cusable disregard of the proprieties.

Some of the factory proprietors in

It doesn’t require saying that the
people of this district don’t believe that
Congressman Turner advised the ap
pointment of Lochrane to a cabinet po
sition, as the Macon Telegraph alleges.
Congressman Turner is a Democrat,
and he has never yet showed auy spe
cial fondness for cranks.-
In looking over the newspapers and periodi
cals of the day for occasional short stories,
suitable for publication in the News and' Ad
vertiser, we have been struck with the scar
city of such literature and the inferiority of
the average short stories published. We have
also 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 News and Advertiser,
we have concluded to offer the following cash
prizes:
For the best original story, not to exceed six
columns of the Daily News and Advertiser
in length, ?20
For the second best original story, not to ex
ceed feix 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, in 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 oU£ will be expected to
have some regard for limit.
the plan or award.
One lady and one gentleman, who will be
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. In 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
be final. The names uf the lady and gentle
man whom we shall ask to aid us in this scheme
will be announced in duo time, and each con
testant may l»e assured that his . or her story
will be considered upoa its merits alone, for
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 a want is made. The real
name of the author will be held in confidence
by the publishers, aud will not be 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, and thereby disqualify themselves for
accepting the award of the judges in good
faith, are requested not to enter into this
competition, which is intended to develop lite
rary talent and encourage young writers
among the friends and patrons of the News
and Advertiser.
WHEN AND now TO SEND IN MANTSCRIPT.
This offer will be kept open until the 1st of
March, when it will positively be closed, and
the manuscript of the different contestants

The Senate Judiciary Committee
after listening to Senator Brown’s
earnest advocacy of Speer’s confirma
tion resolved to report his case favora
bly. All of the Democrats on the com
mittee voted in the negative, as a mat
ter of course.
1Vhex Congressman - Springer made
a point in the Honse against Senator
Kdmunds’s concession that the Vice-
President doesn’t “count the votes” in
any other than a mere ministerial
sense, he made a fool of himself—to
put the matter lightly.
A battle between^the British forces
under Gen. Earle and the Arabs took
place near Dulka island, on the Kile,
on Tuesday last. The former won a
bloody victory, but their commander
was among the killed.
The electoral votes have been de
clared by a joint session of the two
Houses, and Cleveland and Hendricks
have been declared elected.

benefit irom Electric Bitters, I feel it
my duty to let suffering humanity
know it. Have had a running sore on
my leg for eight years; my doctors
told me I would have to have the bone
scraped or leg-amputated. I used, in
stead, three bottles of Electric Bitters
and seven boxes BuckJen’s Ai7iica
