Mr. Cleveland Is said to be prepar
ing his inaugural address. It will be,
like all the other productions of his
pen, plain, concise and patriotic. He
is not a Pig Iron Kelley Democrat,
and so he can afford to have honest,
convictionsaml to express them plainly.
It is queer that the Legislature
should think it better to borrow money
to meet deficiencies in the treasury
than to collect it in a straightforward
manner by taxation. By borrowing,
the people are compelled, eventually,
to submit to even heavier Luxation, to
meet interest as well as principal.

Our contemporary doesn’t declare it

tion referred to in the extract quoted
from this paper, and we are left to in

decent people, to whom we referred,
are not so restricted in their exclusive
ness as our Indianapolis- contemporary
supposed. They will go as far as it
will in the direction of keeping intact
the race distinctions made by the Al
mighty.
The admission of the News that it
was “we,” who “wronged” the negro
“by stealing him from his native coun
try and enslaving” him, is especially
refreshing when seen in a Republican
paper. All will he pardoned, how

Cleveland’s Policy.
The following paragraph from the
Washington letter in the Savannnah
Morning Mews is of interest, as setting
forth Mr. Cleveland’s policy:
“If the Democrats who went over to sec Mr.
Cleveland last week brought back little infor
mation about hia Cabinet, they have brought
back a good deal of information about his prob
able poliev. About this Mr. Cleveland spoke
freely and frankly. All the returned states-
men agree in their report* respecting the pol
icy, however they may differ about the Cabi
net of the President-elect. They all agree
that Mr. Cleveland’# policy will be to give the
couiUfry an honest, economical, progressive
and flbnservative administration, such as he
has given New York, and that he will be as in
dependent of politicians here as there. Speci
fically they say that he favors a conservative
foreign policy, a new navy, better coast de
fenses, yic suspension of standard silv£p>dolIar
coinage, and the redemption of the trade dol
lar, tariff reform, ami the enactment of a gen
eral bankruptcy law similar to that contained
in the bill now pending in the House.”
The main point in the outlined policy
is the statement that he favors tariff re
form. This is the great question in
the United Ststes now. There is no
other of even half as much importance.
That Mr. Cleveland is square on the
issue can admit of no doubt. The plat
form on which he was elected commits
him to that policy, and he is too honor
able a man to disregard his own and
his party’s pledges.
was honest in his veto of the Fitz John
Porter bill.
Mr. Xicholls established his “loy
alty” by voting for the hill. Messrs.
Candler and Hardeman climbed the
fence, like poor little boys with a bull
after them, and failed to vote. The
other Georgia Congressmen voted in
accordance with the dictates of honest
manliness. If there is anything worse
than voting wrong, it is in being too
eowardly to vote at all.
The Melon Growers.
The melon-growers of this section
had a meeting in Quitman early in
January, as our readers well remem
ber. At that meeting a resolution was
passed committing those who were in
attendance to the policy of reducing
last year’s watermelon acreage fully
50 per cent., in this year’s planting.
It was generally understood that this
policy would he urged on all the mel
on-growers of the section. The object,
of course, was to reduce the yield
improve the quality of the melons and
secure better prices.
We are advised, from most reliable
sources, that the resolution has had the
very opposite effect from what was
intended. There may be exceptions,
and doubtless there are; but we are
informed that, instead of cutting down
the acreage 50 per cent., in quite a
number of cases the area given to
melons will he double what it was
last year.
It is a short-sighted business. By
increasing the acreage there may be a
large increase in the number grown;
but this will be more than offset by
depreciation in quality and prices. If
disaster should attend the programme,
the propriety of finding some scape
goat, other than the railroads, will sug
gest itself to reasonable men.

Tuk Rome Courier wants to know
what the Democrats of the Georgia
Legislature gained hy electing Joseph
E. Brown to the Senate in preference
to a Republican. We are not able to
answer the question. Those who have
taken the pains to notice his votes have
found him generally recorded along
with the Republicans.
County officers who fail to make
their bonds within the forty days re
quired by Jaw should take the conse
quences. Where the failure is the re
sult of negligence, a new election
should be ordered at once. No man
whose first act shows an utter disre
gard of the requirements of the law is
fit to be a public officer. The case
doesn’t need argument.
Owing to the danger that would
threaten the railroad bridge at Colum
bia, Penn., in the event of a break-up
of the ice in the Susquehanna river,
the railroad authorities undertook to
blast out tlie ice in the neighborhood of
the bridge. In some places, the river
was found to'be solidly frozen to the
very bottom. That doesn’t strike us
as a remarkably fine showing in the
way of an endurable climate. Itis rather
too cold up there for short-haired pop
ple.
The llings made in some Democratic
papers at Senator Edmunds because of
the so-called peculiar phraseology of
his announcement of the result of the
Presidential count are stupid, to say
the best of them. The fact is, Mr. Ed
munds stauds with the Democrats in
his views of the powers of the Vice
President, in the matter of “counting
the votes,” and it is stupid in Demo
crats to rail at him for having honest
convictions and the courage to express
them.
“The dangers of a special session”
are what we are utterly unable to see.
It is absurd to suppose that the work of
reform will meet with more opposition
at a special sessiou than at the regular
session. The men who will have to
pass on the questions that will arise
will be the same in either case. The
reforms that can be instituted only by
Congressional action should not be
compelled to wait until next year. The
howl against a special session is a Pig
Iron Kelley dodge, to capture timid
Democrats.
Subsidy Defeated.
. It is gratifying to know that the ef
fort to engraft subsidy in its most ob
noxious form, on the postoffice appro
priation bill, was signally defeated in
the House on Friday. It is none the
less gratifying in that Congressman
Blount was conspicuous in the fight
against subsidy methods. The Gov
ernment can afford to pay steamship
lines well for carrying the mails, and
it does so; but it can’t afford to tax the
people of the eountry to pay a bonus to
steamship lines for the privilege of hav
ing the mail carried under any given
flag under the sun.
Protection naturally leads to subsi
dies. The principle involved in both
is the same, and both are utterly inex
cusable. It is iniquitous for govern
ment to act so as to put fictitious and
exorbitant values on the labor of citi
zens in given lines of employ ment, and
tax citizens in all other unassisted call
ings to pay the bounties out of their
hard earnings. It is time an end were
put to the i-obbery ef the many to feath
er the nests of the few.
A little plain, honest, effective leg
islation in the interest of debt-paving
is sadly needed in Georgia. The ten
dency of legislation, since the war, has
been in the other direction. There are
a number of kinds of hard work by
which people earn the means of a live
lihood; but there is no other work
comparable to that of collecting debts,
in all that tends to make labor exhaust
ing and unremunerative. People
whose first thought in the morning is
as to how they may beat their credit
ors during the day are.as numerous as
black crows, and quite as reputable In j

•The London Telegraph publishes the
following concerning the great secret
society of the Mohammedans, of pecu
liar interest just now: K
■The ‘Senoussi’ is the leading secret societv
of • gypt, and has a membership of SO.OOO.OU)
Mohammedans, or about one-third of the fol
lower:; rf the Prophet. These jy*opl»» constant
ly look for the universal empire promised by
tne Koran, and are encouraged to feel intense
hatred against Christians. They are at any
moment prepared to seize the opportunity of a
struggle with civilized nations; their sole aim
is a holy war, with neither truce nor mercy
against the unbelievers. Their headquarters
are at Serhboub. on the Kgypto-Tnpoliran
border. Scatnred over the countries of Tur
key, Tripoli. Tunis. India, and wherever Mo
hammedanism prevails, are ‘centres of action,’
some 500 or 600 in all.”
This furnishes the reason why Eng
land is so anxious to put down the
movement of the Mahdi, in the Soudan,
lest his success, there, kindle the torch
of religious warfare in her Indian pos
sessions. It is a matter of urgent
need.
Unfortunately, the tax books fail
to show the value of property in
Georgia. They show simply the valu
ation at which the people are willing
for their property to be taxed. There
are exceptions, of course, but the rule
is as stated. On the average, it is fair
to say that property is returned at
about half its market value. The
State is pressed for funds, and the Leg
islature has resorted to shallow, if not
unconstitutional, shifts to furnish the
means for meeting its obligations.
Field Day For Renegades.
Emory Speer is Judge of the
Southern District of Georgia by the
grace of twenty-nine Republican Sen
ators and the disgrace of one Senator
from Georgia.
The vote against the consummation
of this outrage on public sentiment
was twenty-five Democratic Senators
and four self-respecting Republicans;
so that it was to him of the “invisible
soap” and the tangled, God-forsaken
record that the people of this Federal
District are entitled for their new-
made judge!
When a people go out of the way, to
drag renegadism out of the gutters of
a dispensation that fell under its own
rottenness, and to set it up in places of
honor and trust, they need not wonder
that it should turn upon them, just as
it has done in the case under consider
ation.
It isn’t strange that one who was
Bullock’s Chief Justice should be a
poor judge of what the ermine may
bear, and still be presentable. It will
be strange if the eyes of the people of
Georgia are not opened, at last, to the
folly of compromising manhood, to
place in power one who despises their
wishes in order to be the pompous
patron of a political renegade.
The Washington correspondent of
the Morning Mews has this to say of the
status of the iS^jyn-Speer case, down
to the night of the 17th inst: “There
was no executive session of the Senate
to-day, but the contest over Speer
went right on. The Speer men
were badly scared by the formidable
array of the opposition yesterday. All
the Democrats were present or paired<
aud all except Senator Brown express
ed an intention to vote against Speer.
There were less than a dozen Republi
cans present or accounted for to-day.
Messrs. Brown and Speer stirred up
the Republicans of the House so that a
number of them went over to the Sen
ate to urge the Republican Senators to
support Speer. They seemed to need
a good deal of urging. At all events,
Messrs. Speer and Brown were not
anxious for a vote to-day. By crack
ing the Republican party lash through
to-morrow, Senator Brown and his
Republican allies hope to get Speer
confirmed to-morrow evening. Sena
tor Colquitt is makiug a splendid
fight.”
“If the Democratic party is ever
disrupted by the tariff issue it is much
more probable that the Randall follow
ing will become attached to the Re
publican party than that it will become
the Democratic party of the country,”
remarks the Morning Mews. The ob
servation is undoubtedly .true. They
are already Republicans in policy and
by a very easy gradation they will be
come Republicans in name. The pro
tection organs in Georgia, for iustance,
do not disguise their opposition to the
reform pledges made by the Demo
cratic national platform, aud they have
only ridicule and abuse for Democrats
who are anxious to have those pledges
redeeemed. It will be a-good riddance
to the Democratic party when they go
to the Republican party, where they
naturally belong.
England is making desperate efforts
to localize the war against El Mahdi.
If the revolt against existing order
should extend to Asia and take hold on
the inflammable population of Arabia,
it would rise at once to the proportions
of a religious war-attended with
frightful consequences. It doesn’t
need to be said that civilization would
triumph, in the end, against semi-bar
barism ; but it would be attended with
an incalculable expenditure of blood and
treasure. It is to be hoped that Eng
land will succeed in confining hostili
ties to Arabia and the Soudan.
concluded with an appeal to the Repub
licans to look beyond the fact that this
was the nomination of a Republican
President, and of ofae who claimed to
be a Republican, and to judge of him
on his merits as a man. Senator.Col-
quitt was very emphatic in his re
marks.
Senator Brown made an earnest
speech in support of Speer. He re
ferred to-faim as a young man of fine
ability', and said that his character was
endorsed by many of the best citizens
of Georgia, who knew him well. He
spoke of his own knowledge of Speer’s
capacity as a lawyer, and adduced the
evidence of various distinguished
Georgians on the same point. Speer’s
political course had given some ofieuse,
but there was no reason to justify
rejection of his nomination. He ar
gued that Speer was qualified in every
way for thejudgship. He referred to
Speer’s excellent family connections
aud to the cordial recognition anc.
hearty support he is receiving in At
lanta, Savannah and elsewhere in
Georgia. If confirmed, he was certain
Speer would make an impartial, capa
ble and industrious judge. Senator
Brown said he had heard no valid
reason given against the confirmation.
Senator Hoar also spoke in favor of
Speer, and Senator Vest, of Missouri,
spoke against him.
When the roll was called for the
vote, the result was in great doubt, as
it was known that several Republicans
had expressed an unwillingness to vote
for Speer, and his friends counted on
only one Democratic vote. It is said
that the vote was 30 to 20, many Sen
ators being paired. All the Democrats
except Senator Brow’u voted against
the confirmation or were paired against
it. Four Republicans opposed Speer.
They were Hale, of Maine; Jones, of
Nevada; VanWyek, of Nebraska; and
Plumb, of Kansas. The case has
caused the most spirited contest known
in the executive sessions in along time.

CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
A Condensed Report of What Onr
City Fathers Did at their Meeting
on Monday Night. •
The City Council met in regular ses
sion at the Court House on Monday
night. Present: Mayor Gilbert and
Aldermen Hobbs, Stephens, Carter,
Gortatowsky and Fields.
When minutes of last meeting were
read Alderman Gortatowsky gave no
tice that he would move to reconsider
the proviso contained in the resolution
adopted at last meeting tendering the
city hall to Thronateeska Fire Com
pany for an assembly room.
Mr. Clayton, local agent of the
Southern Express Company, appeared
before Council in answer to certain
complaints chat had been made in
Council as to the charges of the Ex
press Company at this point. Mr.
Clayton addressed the Council at some
length upon the subject and made nn
able defense of the corporation he rep
resented. He denied that the charges
of the company w r ere higher here than
at other points, and called attention to
the low rate on money, to the free de
livery of freight, etc.
Mr. C. Coffey, having been called
out by the discussion had at last meet
ing over the fees fixed by Council for
the City Sexton, which discussion re
sulted in the appointment of a commit
tee to investigate the matter and re
port, stated that he was charg
ing the same fees that were
charged last year, which were the same
that had obtained for several years
past. The ordinance last adopted by
Council regulating City Sexton’s fees
(Council of 1873) was rend for infor
mation, and, upon motion of Aider-
man Hobbs, the same ordinance was
continued. For the information of
the public we will state that the ordi
nance fixes the Sexton’s fees as fol
lows : For digging grave and interring

Alderman Gortatowsky, of the com
mittee appointed to negotiate for a
suitable lot for the proposed academy
building, submitted the following
report:
To the Mayor and Council:
Gentlemen—Your committee ap
pointed to select a proper site for the
•ectiou of a male academy beg leave
to report that they have selected an
acre lot on the northeast corner of
Flint and Monroe streets. Said lot is
owned by Col. Tift, who generously
offers the same to the city for two hun
dred dollars. We would recommend
the purchase of said lot. Respectfully
submitted, M. D. Gobtatowsky,
For Committee.
Upon motion of Alderman Hobbs
the report .of the Committee was
adopted, and the Committee was au
thorized to close the contract with Col..
Tift at once, and the Mayor to draw a
warrant on the school fund to pay for
the lot.
Alderman Gortatowsky called up
his motion to reconsider the proviso
made in the resolution tendering the
city hall to Thronateeska Fire Com
pany. The motion to reconsider pre
vailed, and the proviso was stricken.
A number of bills, properly approv
ed, were passed.
The committee appointed to confer
with officers of the Fire Department
with reference to the proposed ordi
nance to regulate the department re
ported back the ordinance submitted
by Alderman Carter, with an amend
ment granting the right of appeal to
Council, and recommended its adopt
ion. The ordinance was adopted, and
is published in another column.
Mr. West, of the West House, ap
peared before the Council and made
the complaint that the city-ordinance
taxing boarding houses was not admin
istered with evenhanded justice. He
was perfectly willing to pay the $10
tax, but held in his band a list of fif
teen or sixteen other boarding houses
that were just as subject to the tax as
his was. If he paid a boarding
house license he thought he
ought to be protected by'the city in
his business against those who paid no
license. The subject was referred to
the City Marshal with instructions to
report at next meeting the names of
all boarding booses in the city which

Frightful RMH.
PIECES OFHBONE.
For four years I have been afflicted with a
very troublesome catarrh of the head. So
terrible had its nature been that when I blew
my nose small pieces of bone wonld frequently
come out of my month and nose. The dis
charge was copious, and at times exceedingly
offensive. My blood became so impure that
my general health was greatly impaired, with
poor appetite and worse digestion.
Numerous medicines were used without re
lief, until I began the use of B B.B.
three bottles acted almost like magic. Since
their use not a svmptoiri ■ has returned, and I
feel in every way quite restored to health. I
am an old citizen of Atlanta, and refer to al
most any one living on Butler street, and more
particularly to Dr. L. M. Gillam, who knows
of my case Mbs. ELIZABETH KNOTT.
A LITTLE GOLD.
Mr. Z. A. Clark, of Atlanta, Ga., in speaking |
of $480 in gold, desires to say to the readers of
this paper, that the whole of the above amount
was spent in a fruitless effort in finding relief
from a terrible Blood Poison affecting hif [
body, limbs and nose—presenting ugly run
ning ulcers. He is now sound and well, hav
ing been cured by the most speedy and won
derful remedy ever before known, and any in
terested party who may nee^J a Blood Purifier j
will learn from him that three bottles of B. B. j
B. restored his appetite, healed all ulcers, re
lieved his kidneys,' and added twenty-one
pounds to his weight in thirtv days.
TWO DRUGGISTS.
We have been handling B. B. B. only a few
months, and take pleasure in saying it Is super
ceding all other Blood Remedies. It sells
well, gives our customers entire satisfaction,
and we cheerfully recommend it in preference
to any other Blood Purifier.

STORY WRITERS.
$20 FOR TIIE BEST SHORT STORY.
$10 FOR THE SECOND BEST.
In looking over the newspapers and periodi
cals of the day for occasional short stories,
suitable for publication in the News and Ad
vertises, 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*NRWs 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 Advertise*
in length, |20
For the second best original story, not to ex
ceed six columns of the Daily News an9
Advertiser, in length, $10.
In order to give those who have hot 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 one will be expected to
have some regard for limit.
THE PLAN OFAWARb.
One lady and one gentleman, who will be
residents of Albany, and who will be selected
with a dne 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 of the lady and gentle
man whom we shall ask to aid us in this scheme
will be announced in due time, and each con
testant may be assured that his or her story
will be considered upon its merits alone, for
the judges will not know who the writers are.
The real name of the writer most 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 the publishers, and will not be mode public
without permission, after the awards are
made.
Tain and sensitive persons who are liable to
place too high an estimate npon 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 Advertised.
