Ouce the Colonel was in debt to a grocer that lived in a neighbor ing village. He must have been a new comer, for none of the “old- timers” would trust the old gentle man. One morning just after the colonel had sat down on the gallery to smoke, the grocer came to the gate and shouted, “Halloa!” “Get down and come right in, sir,” the colonel called, getting up and cordially advancing to meet the visitor. '“I am delighted to see yon this bright morning,” said the host, when he had shown the grocer into the house. “You don’t know me, I reckon,” the grocer responded, giving f the old man a peculiar look out of his keen eyes of trade. “Oh, most assuredly, yon are the grocer. “Yon bet! Did yon get that bill —or, rather, them twenty bills—I sent you?’ “I presume so, but I cannot say positively who sent them. 1 get so many favors of. the kind that I hardly know whence they come, “I’m a man of business, and I wnnt my money without any palav erin’. Dou yon understand?” “Perfectly, sir, and I cannot blame you. Business cannot be operated without money.” “But are you going to pay me?” “I can’t pay yon now.” “When can yon?” “Let’s see, this is the 10th of the month ain’t it?” “That’s what it is.” “Ah, ha! and to-morrow will be the Uth.” “Thai’s the size of it” “Well, you come round between the 11th and the 1st of the month.” “Will you pay me then?” “No, I don’t think I shall.” “Then what’s the use coming?” “None that I know.” “Not much. What I want is my money, and I’m going to have it or know the reason why.” T don’t mind.giving you the rea son. The reason appears to be that you’ll not get the money. Now, look here; I have always made it a point to look with favor on themethods of life established by other men. You have yonr rules, and I have mine, but be cause our rules differ is do reason for us to fall out. One ' of your rules is to collect every cent due you. All right. One of my rales is not to pay a cent. All right” “No it ain’t all right; yon bet your life it ain’t. You’ve simply got to pony up.” “By the way, let me give you a piece of advice with regard to that bill. Shall I?” “Yes.” “Well, tnen, sue me.” “I’ll do it, you bet your life.” The grocer brought suit. The colonel promptly appeared. The case was tried and the. grocer got judgment for $7. I want my money now,” said the grocer. “And I want mine,” the colonel replied. “Yours. I don’t owe yon anything.?’ “Oh, yes. You see,” the old man added, “the courts many years ago granted me license as alawyer, and I’lLbe.hanged if yoqhaven’t given me my first case. Here’s my li cense.” “Why, i haven’t given you a case.” Ob, yes. I advised you to sue me, and yon did so. Fee, §10.” “Mr. Billings,” said the judge, ( and lie also owed tb e grocer), “yon must pay the amoant.” He did so, closed his store, shot seed' oil mills, fertilizer factories and mercantile operations on a large scale, and something which transpired a few d_ays ago makes it look like the Alliance people have their minds on transportation as vrell. Mr. E. G. Machen, the Napole onic railroad builder of Middle Georgia, who now has in charge the construction of a line between Atlanta and the sea, came to the city a few days ago on the invitation of That was an interesting picture which Representative Kennedy, of Ohio, drew of Senator Quay, the chairman of the national republi can committee, in a speech in the House on last Wednesday. ' What makes the picture all the more in teresting was the fact that Kenne dy thinks that he is a good deal of a republican leader himself. - The democrats have often ex pressed their opinion of Quay and his political methods, but they have never before had . the satis faction of hearing a republican leader express an opinion of him, some leading AUiancemen who had 1 It may now be understood that the something interesting to say. The conference was between three of the leading alliancemen of the State and Mr. Hacheu, and it appears that the Alliancemen meant business, for they very soon pat their ideas in the definite shape of a proposition to Mr. Machen. Mr. Machen’s line is projected from Atlanta by ivay of Covington, Machen, Eatonton and Sanders- ville to Savannah, running by al most an air line through the bends of the great S made by the line of the Central railroad, thereby sav ing between here and Savannah sixtv-two miles, according to the claim of the engineers. This road Mr. Machen has undertaken to build for $12,000 a mile, or$2,800,- 000. The Alliance leaders ’propose that the Alliancemen take half the bonds and raise $1,400,000 by an average subscription of less than one thousand dollars among ’the members of each sub-Allianee in the State. This was to be done provided Mr. Machen pat a major ity of the stock in trust with the State Treasurer, or some deposito ry agreed upon to remain there un til two years after the completion of the road. Another condition on which the Alliance leaders base their propo sition is that the rate of passenger fare shall be cents a mile, with, freight rates in the same propor tion. Mr. Machen replied that he would take the proposition under consideration, and we believe firm ly that the road would make more on l^.cents passenger rates in pro portion, than it could on the exist ing freight and passenger tariffs. Id this way he thought the trans portation problem could Be solved without the aid of legislation. This, following on the heels of the resolution about direct trade, seems to indicate that the Alliance- men have in view nothing less than a complete system of transporta tion by rail aDd by sea, between the capital of Georgia and the principal ports of England and the continent in Europe. When it is l'emembered that the co-operative societies of England, composed almost entirely of work ingmen, do a total business of near ly a hundred millions and control- a number of steamships, this new ambitions venture of the Georgia Alliancemen becomes a matter of national and even international in terest. Take just one supposition for in stance. Suppose the Georgia Al liancemen and the co-operative mahufacturers of Great Britain and France should become associ ated in a general traffic arid inter national commerce agreement. The possibilities of such a thing are inconceivable. republicans have no better opinion of the chief director of their party than the democrats have. But the republicans knew all about Quay before they placed him at the head of their national exec utive committee. Every charge which Kennedy made against him has been made long before he was chosen to manage the last nation al republican campaign, and that, too, in the organs of the republi can party. What, therefore, most be the moral condition of a party that chooses as its leader a man alleged to be guilty of criminal acts? Is the party any better than the leader? When, therefore, Kennedy held Up Quay before his fellow republi cans in congress as a specimen of moral and political rottenness, did he not at the same time admit that his party was corrupt and un worthy the confidence of the peo ple? He virtually said that the methods that the republican party had to employ to secure control of the government were so bad that it had to have a bad man as its man ager. But what was it that made Ken nedy so sore that he couldn’t help telling Jhe truth about the great boss of his party? It was this: Kennedy is one of the members of congress who were anxious to have the force bill passed at this session of congress. He was so anxions that he consented to ran around among the senators and represent atives to get them to sign a paper agreeing to keep congress in ses sion until the bill was passed. Quay treated Kennedy with a good deal of contempt, and while Ken nedy was trotting aronnd with the paper, Quay quietly had the force bill postponed. The country probably doesn’t think Kennedy’s grievance a very great one, and perhaps it nas more contempt for him than for Quay, who, though he may be guilty of the crimes with which he has been charged, does not seek sympathy by airing his grievances in public. When such republicans as Kenne dy and Quay express their opinion of each other in congress there is good reason for thinking that the rule of the republican party is nearly at an end. . Cleverly Outwitted. When the Alliance State Con vention passed a resolution looking to the establishment of direct trade, the Savannah News at once took the alarm, for it saw in the proposed movement the possibility of injury to its city. The News is to be commended for the vigilance with which it guards the possible and present in terests of its city, bat to qaote its own aphorism, it is doubtless true much cannot be said for the inter est it manifests in the welfare of the people at large. In its zeal for the one, it is too mnch inclined to forget that the interests of the greatest nnmber of-people is rath er to be desired, than the emolu ments that belong to the few. It was one of the prime objects had in view by the Alliance order when it ;vas organized, that the number of middlemen should be reduced. The farmers had grown tired of seeing a vast army of men levying toll on their products, and the pleasure of the picture was not en hanced by the fact that this host had grown plethoric with wealth, white they themselves were grow ing poorer every day, and it was not an ansnal exhibition of the de sire that men have for self preser vation, this effort on the part of the farmers to save the crystalliza tion of weeks of labor from the inroads of others. Aside from the possible injury that may accrne to the factors of Savannah, the Times regrets that this may be one of the results of direct trade, provided it is estab lished and at the same time, follow ing the line of thought outlined as the proper one to be followed by the News, it most regard the in terest of the many, as of more im portance than that <>f the few. It has been the dream of the Sonth to make herself free from the north, not because of sectional prejudice, but as a business. prop osition, pure and simple, and un doubtedly the most direct way to do this, is by direct trade with Europe. The Times is of the opinion that while to send the cottoD of the South direct to the factories in England and on the continent, might work a temporary injury to Savannah, and perhaps other Southern ports, that these ports will get a reciprocal benefit from the importation of goods, and the large wholesale trade that wonld follow. It is, to say the least of it, an ex hibition of provincial ideas, when a great city raises a wail of woe over the prospective injury in a very slight degree to one of her sources of wealth. Savannah ought to seek to counterbalance such loss in legitimate fashion, rather than by seeking to bnild her fortunes by levying unnecessary tax on the great staple of our section. Fennimore Cooper, in his stories of hairbreadth escapes from In dians, never hit upon a more ex traordinary device for eluding pur suit than one which was related to President Carnot during a recent tour in Corsica, says the Chicago News. A French traveller, so the story went, ventured some years ago to pass through a mountainous district of Corsica without escort or any means of protection, and in crossing a particularly rough and craggy region found himself pur sued by a band of brigands. As the traveller had some money on his person, and feared that, besides being robbed, he wonld be held in captivity for a ransom,even if he were not put to death, he took to flight. Knowing little of the country, he soon stumbled npon the border of a lake in the mountains. There was no path arbniid it; it was im possible to swim across, and the brigands were behind him, though he was hidden from them as yet by the rocks. Whatever he did must be done in an instant. Necessity quickened his wits; lie saw at once a way out of the difficulty, and he availed himself of it. He hastily cut with his knife one of the long, hollow reeds that grew on the shore of the lake. Then he stopped up his ears and nostrils with wet clay from the margin, took the reed in his month and waded out into deep water, where he remained submerged with up turned face, just allowing the up per end of the reed to project above the surface. On came the brigands following the traveller’s tracks to the water’s edge. But what had become of him? Had he flown across? Cer tainly he could not have swum. There was no other way of escape, and the surface had by this time stilled to a perfect calm. The brigands remained waiting on the shore, for some time, but no sign of the traveller appeared. They concluded at last that he was a sorcerer, who had cansed himself’ to vanish into thin air. Then they disappeared, and the Frenchman, who had been under water all the time breathing by the aid of his tube, came out. He managed to keep under cover and make his way to Ajaccio; and there he declared that he had been under water four hours. It is possible that his distress and alarm.may have cansed this period to appear many times long er than it really was; bat, in con firmation'of the main part of his story, the Frenchman brought With him a water-soaked section of a hollow reed. Great hearts alone understand how much glory there is in being good. Senator Stewart, a few days ago, used the story of Demetrius, the silversmith, to preve that St. Paul favored protection, and Senator Gray argued that the narrative placed St. Paul on their side of the question. Senator Washburn, of Minnesota, entered the senate chamber while.the colloquy was in progress, and before making him self clear as to what it was all about, offered, in view of the fact that so much had been said about the position of St. Paul, to ex plain how Minneapolis stood on the tariff.
