The republicans of New Yotii

j
It is possible that the present
congress will not adjourn before
the time for the next congress to
convene. There is much. politics
in all questions now considered-.
The Alliance convention failed
to elect a ne wspaper organ, though
the Advocate, published at Monte
zuma, went into the convention
with the support of 43 Counties
out of 70 represented. The ques
tion was postponed. .

* Tori Georgia Chatauqua was
formally organized at Albany last
week, with Hon. Nelson Tift as
president. Grounds have been
purchased, and suitable buildings
mil be erected, a corps of teach
ers secured, and a splendid pro
-gramme arranged in time for‘ the
opening of-the first session next
summer.

It is reported that President
'Cleveland has contributed $10,000
to the democratic campaign fund,
and that the contributions of the
cabinet officers and his other im
mediate personal friends aggre
gate $150,000. It seems probable
, that there will be a democratic
'‘barrel” this year, and that the'
expense's of the campaign will be
paid in cash. It is well.
The last quarterly report of
State Treasurer Hardeman shows
that on the 30th of June last the
treasury of Georgia contained a
net balance of $383,519.52. From
the first of April to June 30th, the
disbursements have amounted to
$747,854.83. The outstanding
bonded debt amounts to $8,753,-
-385.00. No part of the taxes for
1888 has yet been paid.
The Macon Evening News says
a gentleman from Twiggs county,
one from Houston, and two of the
City of- Macon, have leased
Adam’s Park, on the East Ten
nessee Virginia and Georgia rail
road, which will be devoted to
melon culture, The tract em

It is.probable that the Coving
ton- & Macon railroad will not be
built to Athens, as projected, but
it will go to ElbertOn instead. . It
appears that the city and citizens
of Athens refused to make good
certain promises in favor of the
.road, and Col. Machen, as well as
the officers of the road, declares
that it shall not go to Athens un
less the contract, as understood
by the railroad authorites, is com
plied with.
ing between the United States and
Canada.
The message was the outgrowth
of the fact that the senate had
just rejected a reciprocal treaty
that had been arranged by a joint
commission of Englishmen and
citizens. Of the Untted States.
This proposed treaty was intend
ed te adjust all differences between
the countries hamed, especially
Concerning the rights of fishermen
respectively fishing in the waters
under the control of the two gov
ernments. The oripinal treaty
had lapsed, and complaints to the
effect that United States fishermen
had been unjustly treated in Can
adian waters by officials of that
country, called for official adjust
ment of their insulted rights.
In rejecting the proposed treaty,
the republican senate failed' to
suggest any other method for the
settlement of the differences.
Thereupon President Cleveland
wrote his message; declaring that
he would by retaliation maintain
the rights of our citizens. Or, in
other words, if our citizens were
refused free commerce in Canada,
Canadians should be fed out of the
same spoon. In order that this
purpose may be accomplished with
the least disadvantage to our citi
zens, Mr. Cleveland asks Congress
for more power than the existing
law gives. The democrats in the
House commend the message in
the highest-terms, and declare that
President Cleveland shall have
full power in the premises. Re
publicans do not commend the
message in very high terms,
though they do not discredit its
strength. They pretend that it is
unnecessary, and that it is merely
a measure to captnre a certain
class of votes in the coming elec
tion.
It would require greater space
than we have at command to give
eyen a synopsis of the message,
therefore we will not- make the at
tempt.
• In retaliation for the refusal by
Canadian officials to allow oiir
fishermen to land on Canadian
soil and send, overland their fish
to the United States, it is proposed
positively to refuse a like privilege
to Canadian fishermen, and to re
fuse any merchandise intended for
Canada to be landed here and
thence forwarded overland to Can
ada.-
The message is indeed a strong
one, and shows_ clearly the hand
and brain of a statesman, and the
power he asks for will be so used
as to uphold the rights and digni
ty of our citizens. The measure
is the last resort to obtain justice,
and it will no doubt win for Presi
dent Cleveland the allegiance of
many who have hitherto been re
publicans. Mr. Cleveland simply
proposes to do his duty fearlessly,
nevertheless his message will
prove greatly beneficial to the
democrats.

Salt Springs, Ga., was closed for
the season last Tuesday night, the
closing address being delivered by
Mr. Henry W. Grady. So far as

Os® of the most successful
manufacturing enterprises in Geor
gia is the Griffin chair factory.
This factory makes an average of
three hundred chairs per day,'and
the entire output is sold as rapidly
as placed upon the market. Very
little drumming is reported to, and
the demand in only three states

As our readers know, the Geor
gia State Farmers’ Alliance met in
Macon Tuesday of last week. The
session'eoniinued three days. The -
interests of our farmers, very little
that was done has been given to
the public.
Hon. R. H. Jackson and most
of the other officers of the order
were re-elected.
Of the Alliancemen and their
order; the Macoh Evening News
says:
"The Alliancemen express them
selves as well pleased with the re
sults of the meeting, and say great
good will flow therefrom and the
agricultural interests of the state
will be greatly benefited. Most of
the delegates have returned home.
Secretary Burks and a few others
have spent the day in Macon
closing up certain detail's. They
will leave to-night oi in the morn
ing.
It is not generally known that,
the Alliance allotted from the
treasury of the order one dollar
per day for board and one cent for
each mile travelled to and from
the convention. As the Hotel
Lanier was the headquarters of
the Alliance, and gave the dele
gates reduced rates* and the rail
roads transported them at one cent
per mile, the. delegates were not
here on heavy expenses. In fact
the trip to Macon was not only
one of business, but it proved
summer vacation at but little cost.
Cashier Calmness of the Ex
change bank paid ont to the order
of the proper officers of the Al
liance $2,000 to be distributed
among the members in payment of
board and mileage.
From this it would .appear that
the Alliance is in a good sound
financial condition. Manager
Crawford, of the Hotel Lanier,
says he never entertained a more
gentlemanly set of men, and they
in turn were very complimentary
to Manager Crawford for his ex
cellent treatment of them. They
went away well pleased with
Macon.
Among the resolutions adopted
were the following, offered by A.
T. Pope, of Oglethorpe county.
Whereas the bagging trust which
is now seeking to so wickedly op
press the farmers of the cotton
states in the article of bagging
and other articles of consumption,
Resolved, That' the Farmers’
Alliance of Georgia hold their
cotton in the seed, so far as prac
ticable, until the oppression.sought
to be put upon them is broken,and
urge all cotton farmers and Al
liancemen of other states, and
other parties that are being op
pressed by this combination, to
unite with us against these trusts
and combinations that are so wick
edly oppressing ns;
Resolved, That these resolutions
be given to the press for publica
tion.
The following resolutions by L.
F. Livingston, of Newton county,
were adopted and telegraphed to
all the leading papers:
Resolved, That the thanks of
this, the Georgia State Alliance
be, and are hereby tendered the
Hon. Breckenridge, of Arkansas,
Morgan, of Mississippi, Simmons,
of North Carolina, and others now
moving in our national congress
looking to the relief of eotton
planters from the oppression and
wicked conduct of the bagging
trust.
Last Saturday about one hun
dred people assembled to witness
a base ball game between tbe
Henderson and Vienna clubs.
The Vienna club came up with
their friends on the G. S. & F.
road, and disembarked at Elko
station, about three mile3 from
Henderson.
Near the pool about half a mile
south of Henderson the ball ground
is located, and there an excellent
picnic dinner, abundant for
double the crowd, and good
enough forfanybody, was fully en
joyed at noon. Directly after
dinner the game was called, and
for about an hour and a hair ihe
clubs claimed tbe closest attention
of the spectators-. The game , was
won by the Henderson club by a
score of 16 to 9.
The following young men do:
