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.
