A recent dispatch from Washington
to the New York Sun says;
“An extra session of Congress, to
meet early in September, is the talk in
Administration oireles. It Is based
on what Is reported as said by Presi
dent Cleveland and assented to by
Seoretary Carlisle.
“By that time Mr. Mills and Mr.
Atkinson will be ready* with the
Tariff bill on which they are now at
work. The plan, as it is understood,
to have the Committee on Ways and
Means appointed by Speaker Crisp,
whose election to the Speakership is a
part of the scheme; also the Commit
tee on Appropriations and the Com
mittee on Coinage, and possibly one or
two other committees. This done,
there will be a recess, after the neces
sary conferences on the question of
the offices und whatever else may be
useful to produce concert of action;
and thun everything will be done to
ooncen'rate public opinion prepara
tory to the reassembling of Congress
about the middle of November. Then
dead set will be made for the repeal
of the Sherman Silver law : after that
disposed of the Committee on Ways
nd Means will be ready to report the
'arlffbili, the Committee of Appro
priations being also ready with its
economical hills for harbors and rivers,
puhllo buildings, pensions, and other
leading Items which have usually em
braced by far the largest amounts
making up the grand total of expendi
tures. Having ratified the adminis
tration scheme, und passed such other
laws as will complete the plan of
finance for muking the two ends meet.
Congress will be expected to adjourn.
Of course some little time will bo al
lowed for general legislation which
the President will bo ready to sanc
tion or vetu ns it shall uouord with his
Ideas of putting ns much money Into
the Treasury, and taking nB little out

“All this presupposes the obedience
of Congress to tlm President's will,

Despite the bad weather, the news,

made a pretty good sliow-ing.
It seems that President Cleveland
has got hlmBelf Into it sure enough
now. He accepted a season ticket
from n base ball club the other day
and tlie Savannah News has this to
«ay about It: “President Cleveland
it seems, Is not all statesman; there
is some man—just plain, every-day,
unqualified man—in him. He had re
fused innumerable temptations in the
shape of free passeB until the Wa-li
ington base hall people tendered him
a season tioket to the ball games
Then he fell. Having accepted
the pass he must go to see the
gameB, or he will be called
an Ingrate. And when he goes, then
will begin the trouble. Should lie
stand on one leg and shout for the
home team, the balance of the country
would rise up as one man and protest,
For he is the President of the United
States, and that would be showing par,
tiality. Should he shout against
Washington he would be open to the
accusation of having offered an affront
to Ills hosts, for lie would be there
the guest of the Washingtons. Fur
ther, suppose at some critical period
the umpire should giro the game to
the other side, the President would be
debarred the pleasure of going down
and helping to mob him, for persons
who go in on free passes have no suoh
prerogative. It really seems that Mr.
Cleveland has at last got himself hope
lessly involved.”

An Indiana yonngman whs recently on his
way to set married when a deputy sheriff sum
moned him to attend court as a juror. He went
before the Judge, explained the matter, and
nuked to Irtjcxcueed. Thojudjic rofueed. Tin;,
young Juror served three days nnd then got off
and went to the'home of tlio young lady. Hut
elm wouldn't even sen him; called him a villain
and lold him to akip. The youngster has
brought suit agaiti|t the judge for dnmngcs in
his pursuit of happiness.—Savannah Sows.
The above, as set forth by our
worthy contemporary, Is a peculiar
caae, probably unprecedented In the
annals of the courts of any Stnte, and
is calculated to bringabuut considera
ble litigation.
It was, beyond a doubt, an Instance
where a Judge adhered too striokly to
a punctilious discipline, and an in
stance where two lives have been
wrecked by that positive dictatorial-
ness which is, alarmingly, too preva
lent at the time. It Is shown that the
young man went to the judge and ex
plained to him the exigencies of the
situation nnd he, no doubt, brought all
his eloquence to hear upon his case,
only to be refused n dismissal, which
would have asserted a calamitous con
currence of circumstances.
Now, thiB is one side of the case,
et’s look nt the other. In Borne happy
cottage home, perhaps, a bride expect
antly awaited the coining of her
Othello, never dreaming but that lie
would appear at the appointed time.
But such was not the case. The happy
intended bride, the assembled friends
and the impatient minister were ull
doomed to disappointment, for the
groom never came. And It is needless
say that there were mnny tears
shed, especially hy the bride, because
she thought her lover had played her
falsa.
But was it in good tasto for her to
spurn him when he did appear, and
offer her n satisfactory explanation of
his absence? Uld she do right when
she refused to see him nt ull, calling
him a villiun and a brute? As his af
fianced, did she not owe to him a con
ference wherein he should he allowed
to explain his absence? Most certninly
she did. A love that will jump at con
clusions and conjure up grievances is
not the right kind of love. If she had
been imbued with that holy inspira
tion—called love—and which alone Is
worthy of tile name—she would, wil
lingly, have ucoepted his excuse when
abundant, ocrreborntive evidence could
have been produced.
All tilings considered nnd weighed
i mi impartial scale, tlio young mail
should not bo allowed nny damage
against the Judge. If there are any
amends tu bu, made the yuung lady
should make them, and this will, very
likely, be the ruling of the court when
the case is finally disposed of.
Savannah claims that her May week
will rival the European Mardl Gras.
It is well that those held at .New Or
leans nre not mentioned.
Out of the chaotio condition in which
the Central'Railroad of Georgia find*
Itself to-dsy comes the report that Su
perintendent Wadley will resign; or,
at the least, he comtem plates such a
course. \
Now, this is all wrong. Mr. Wadley
has no cause whatever to be Incensed
at the recent ruling of Judge Speer as
regards the Arden case, and if he
should tender his resignation he will
not demonstrate that good judgment
which the Hekald has given him
credit for. lie has too muoh at stake
to give way to what many people
would call a rash sentiment, and if he
should let unconsidered impulses
guide him to the act of tendering his
resignation, he will, most undoubted
ly, cast a blot upon the name whloh he
should proudly bear. The Wadleys
have all been keen, foreslghted and
calculating railroad men, and it is safe
to say the present bearer of that his
toric leniage will not let it suffer.
Nn, we do not believe that Superin
tendent Wadley will resign. In fact,
we do not believe the reports which
influence such a course. The report,
no doubt, is another such a one ns was
circulated some months ago when it
was sa d Unit Superintendent Wadley
would resign before he would sign a
renewal of a contract with the engi
neers, Tlmt, of course, has been
proven to be false, and, the last report,
very likely, will not receive as much
credence as the first.
Mr. Wadley lias sense enough to re
member tlmt he is simply nil official
under the receiver of the road, and
that the order, demanding the rein
statement of Engineer Arden, was not
directed to him but to Mr. Comer, the
lawful ami authorized Receiver of the
road.
Under these circumstances it is nil
hush to suppose tlmt a mail with the
foresight of Superintendent Wadley
will give way to tile idea that a per
sonal thrust has been made at him. Me
will not do It, anil the IIkhald’s pre
diction will be borne out hy future
developments.

In speaking, editorially, of Governor
Northern's efforts to suppress lynch
law ill Georgia, the Macon Telegraph
says: “Governor Northen Is entitled
Jo the-earnest siippoit'of every good
citizen ill his efforts to make lynching
impossible In Georgia. Ills work in
tlio cause of Christianity and civiliza
tion 1b not less In the interest of the
material welfare of the State.”
Isn't there something rathercurlous
in the faot that tile Northern pilfers,
whose columns, only a few weeks ago,
ro bespattered with oonstant puns
and slurs direoted at Secretary Hoke
Smith, have completely dropped out
of their v.eln of attempted ridicule?
Those journals whose conclusions
relative to the Seoretary, wero made
without the least foundation, have
been treated to a practical illustration
of the adage, “Look before you leap,”
and have been well rebuked by the
masked ability of the brilliant Geor
gian’s oonduct in office.
The full name of Duke do Veraguu,

Comnra of the Into King Alphonse XII, and his
son tho King Don Alphonse XIII, member of
the royal council of agriculture, industry and

Coi- Nat Harris, of Rome, one of
Georgia’s brightest young legal lights,
contributed a two-column, sensible,
timely and well written article to the
Koine Tribune Sunday on “Tardy
Justice.” Here is an extract from Col.
Harris’ ideas: “To be a good citizen
means obedience to the law. It means
a life within the lines marked out by
the l^jv. But it means more than this.
As a oitizen, every individual must
have an interest In ihe public affairs,
in the government and the enforce
ment of the laws of the State. It is
not necessarily a paradox that a man
who has neither time nor desire to
hold office, will find time to see that he
does bis full duty as a member of our
self-governed communities, where
under the laws made by themselves,
eaoh oitizen must be ready at all times
to perform his share of public duty.”

Massachusetts has elected a new

seems that the last Democratic wave

It may be ail right and the way the
law directs things in the course of tho
procedure, but isn’t there just a little
more red tape business about that

Some people contend that there is
nothing new under the sun, but it is
disproven by the latest report from
Soutb Carolina wbioh is to the effeot
that the people of that State oontem
plate sending Governor Tillman to the
United States Senate. And this comes
too in the face of the reoent lynching
excitement in that State.
It is very gratifying to note that
the health officers of leading cities,
both north and south, are taking aotive
steps to prevent, cholera from reaching
this country. The experience of last

precautionary measures are not
adopted at once looking to the must
rigid quarantine regulations. But it
is doubtful if that would have the de.

The New York Sun is authority for
the statement that Chicago will open
her big show with a population, visit
ors not inoluded, of about 1,260,000, or
about 600,000 behind that of New
York. Philadelphia's estimated popu
lation is 1,160,000; Brooklyn’s 1,000,000;
Baltimore’s 811,600; Boston’s 476,000;
Cincinnati’s 328,000; Cleveland’s,-in
cluding a reoently annexed suburb,
322,000; San Francisco’s 320,000; Buf
falo’s 300,000; Washington’s 263,000,
and Detroit’s 260,000. Most of these
are moderate official estimates.
