Efforts now made toward se

An effort just now to discredit
the federal administration is not

Harvy Johnson, of Atlanta, *Ga., to
be Consul at Antwerp.
Speaker Crjsp has returned to
Washington, where he is using his
best efforts to serve his friends who
are seeking federal office.
Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, of Cali

undertake the journey to Washing

It is expected that “Boss” Buck
will soon be removed from the office
of marshall of the northern district
of Georgia, as President Cleveland
has agreed to examine his official
record, which will furnished by
Congressman Livingston.
Arrangements are being made
for a regular line of steamboats
for freight traffic on the Ocmulgee
river between Macon and other
points below . The first of them,

to Macon, and is expected to arrive
there to-morrow. •
Thousands of visitors have eu
joyed the May Week festivities it
Savannah this week, though, the
heavy rain Monday hindered trav
el materially. The Central railroad
was very liberal in .transportation
rates, and excellent service was fur
nished. The festivities close Fri-
day.
The Georgia Press Association
will meet in annual session at Ma
con next Monday, and the business
men of the city will give them a
mbst hospitable reception. On
Tuesday there will be an excursion
down the G. S. & E. railroad to

In his earnest efforts to suppress
lynching in Georgia, Gov. North
en is doing noble seryice that will
redound to the credit and material
benefit of the state in years to coma
He is right, and the support that
will come to him from the conseva-
tive, thinking men of of the state,
will give success to his efforts.
..here is no doubt of the fact
chat an increase of population is
needed and desired in Houston
county, but we do not need it so
much that we would be willing to
take anything that might com.’.
We want more citizens, but none
would be welcome through whose
coming the high standard of Onr
excellent citizenship would be low
ered in any degree.
There are lands in Houston that
could be bought at reasonable
prices, but our land owners are not
offering to “throw in chromos”, or
any other special inducements.
When the superior capacity and
healtbfalness of oar lands 'and cli
mate are carefully considered, the
inducements are ample for those
desirable people who know a good
thing when they see it.
If there be honest, moral, intel
ligent, energetic people desiring
southern homes, or Georgia op
portunities, who see fit to come to
Houston, they will be cordially
welcome, whether they purchase
lands for cash, or. come to work
out their destiny in the sweat pf
their brows.
On the other hand; people who
lo not possess the qualities abjve
mentioned will not be welcome
Mere, and onr people will not affili-
ite with them should they come.
Pharisees will not find this a coun
try to their liking. ''
Onr people are not running wild
to induce immigration, though
there are thousands of acres of
"good lands suitable for farming,
fruit ctflturo or stock-raising that
could be bought at reasonable
prices.
We want immigration of tbs
right sort, but we are not offering
to bny it. \ ,
PLEASING TO THE ENEMY.
The Atlanta & Florida railroad
has been sold for §500,000, to the
bondholders of the road. It is said
that that the road will be re-organ
ized at once, and extended to the
coast. • It is believed that a connec
tion will be made at Atlanta with
the Marietta and North Georgia
road, and at Knoxville with north
ern and western lines, thus forming
one of the best and strongest lines
In the south.
“I told you so,” is just what the
third party leaders say'- whenever
impatience is displayed by demo
cratic papers concerning the inau
guration of the reforms to which
democarcy is§ol emnly pledged. It
is remarkable that democratic edi
tors will allow their impatience to
discredit their- common sehse in
this way.
It is true that republican officials
have not been displaced as rkpidly
as the democratic office seekers
would desire, but it is quite likely
that the changes- have been fre
quent as the circumstances and the
welfare of the country warrant.
The foundation of the third par
ty opposition to Democracy last
year was the declaration that the
democratic party had not fulfilled
its pledges, and would not there
after. Any evidence of doubt on
4|Re part of democrats now is glee
fully received bv the third party
leaders—they are still talking
third party doctrine—and com
mented on as a means of keeping
op the opposition to democracy.
Tnere is nothing whatever to in
dicate that the majority in Con
gress will not redeem every pledge
of reform contained in the demo
cratic national platform. On the
contrary, substantial reforms have
t'een inaugurated in the several de
partments, and many republican
abuses have been corrected, and
houesty is shown to be controlling
government affairs at every junct
ure. It may be that President
Cleveland’s official actions are not
in accord with the desires of every
practicing politician who claims to
be a democart, but be has done
nothing that can be honestly de
dared to be antagonistic to the
democratic platform, or the true
principles of democracy^
As an earnest that democratic re
forms will be inaugurated at an-
early date, Hr. Cleveland has de
clared that an extra session of.con
gress will be called to meet not
later than September 15th, when
the tariff and monetary interests of
the country will receive careful
and special attention.
It is undemocratic to give ex
pression to doubts before any in
dications of unfaithfulness are ap
parent
There is positively no reason to
donbt the honesty and ability of
the administration, or the demo
cratic majority in congress.
President Cleveland issued an
order last Monday to the effect that
office seekers would pot be receiv
ed at the white house. It is said
that recently some .disappointed
visitors have been. exceedingly
rude, and the President determin
ed to protect himself against an
noyance of that sort in the future.
Mr. Cleveland will be severely crit
icised on account of this order, but
he can stand it, if the forbidden
office seekers can. ,
Special Correspon dent.
Washington, 1). C., May 8, ’93.
There have been so many erro
neous statements printed abont the
amonnt of - gold in the United
States that the official figures in the
latest statement, issued last week,
are herewith presented. Tlie to
tal amonnt of gold coin known to
be in this country is §532,513,105,
and fo ‘gold bullion, the most of
which is in the’U. S. treasury, $80.-
529,774, making a grand total of
$613,042,849. Of this gold National
banks hold §190,751,183, and pri
vate firms §358,922,385, according
to the last report of the Director of
the U. S. Mint.
Senator McPherson, who is a
member of the Senate Finance 6om-
mittee, has been watching the sit
uation very closely, and he says of
it: “I do not believe there is any
thing in the money situation that
will necessitate tbe calling of an
extra session of Congress earlier
than the President intended—about
September 15. The financial con
dition of the country is all right i
the people will oilly let it alone
The Secretary of the Treasury has
tbe confidence of the public, which
believes that he will be able to.
meet any contingency that may
arise.”
Congressman John DeWitt War
ner, of New York,-isn’t one of those
who think it will require six
months or more to get the new tar
iff bill through Congress. He said
“I see no reason .why a tariff bill
should not be pnt through in a
month or six weeks after the organ-
izetion of Congress. The people
put the democracy in power with a
definite purpose, and that purpose
should be carried out. If you hired
a contractor to build a. house with
in a specified time, and he failed
to keep his agreement, would yon
not look around to get somebody
else to finish it? Of course a rea
sonable, time should be allowed for
debate on a tariff measure, but all
efforts at obstruction should be,
and I believe will, be, promptly
squelched.”
There are yet some very desir
able places in both the doplomatic
and consular service- to be filled by
democrats, and it is expected that
most of these appointments will be
made by President Cleveland with
in the next few weeks. In this con
nection it may be interesting to
note'how the appointments already
made in these branches of the
public service have been distribut
ed among the States. The diploma
tic appointments have gone to the
following: Alabama, Tennessee
New Jersey, Delaware, Missouri,
Vermont, New Hampshire, Califor
nia, Massachusetts, Arkansas, Tex
as, South Dakota, and Illinois,
one each; Indiana, Georgia, Louis
iana, and New York, two each;
North Carolina four and Minneso
ta five. The Consular appoint
ments have gone one each to North
Carolina, Georgia, Illinois, Michi
gan, and Maine; two each to Mas
sachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi,
Ohio, and Indiana, and four to
New'York. While that probably
will have lijttle to do with the Presi
dent’s selections, the* candidates
'from those States nut mentioned
above appear to be more confident
than tboise from the States tha
have already secured some of these
appointments.
A Democrat has been elected
to Congress from the 7th district
of Massachusetts, to succeed Henry
Cabot Lodge, republican, elected to
tbe senate. Lodge was the author
of the famous force bill, and bis
successor, ■ Dr. Wm. Everett, de
feated by a large majority his re
publican opponent, speaker of the
Massachusetts house of Represent
atives, and editor of the Boston
Advertiser.
The Stock Exchange on Wall
street,.New York, was. the scene of
intense excitement last Friday, and
speculation went wild. The stock
of several trust—Cordage, sugar,
oil and others,—declined rapidly,
and there were several failures
among the broksrs. The most not
able failure was that of “Deacon”
White, for many years a leading
Wall street speculator.
Though tbe world’s fair is an
immense and most instructive
shows, it is not complete, and will
not be for a month. However, tbe
grounds, are thronged with visitors
each day.

NOYEL STATE OF AFFAIRS.
* .
We heard recently of a novel
state of affairs that exist in onr
neighbor town of Perry.
Onr information is that for sev
eral yeavs np to April 1st of last
year substifbtially the same Mayor
and Aldermen had-been kept in of
fice. Some dissatisfaction arose
ovej? the management of the town’s
affairs, and two tickets wpre put
oat for the election in April of last
year. The new aspirants for alder-
manic honors were all. defeated,
bat the new candidate for Mayor
was elected over the former occu
pant. The members of the coun
cil didn’t like the idea of serving
with the new Mayor,and would not
meet and work with him, nor did
they ever make any report. He
found the town, in debt and went
to work. Since that time he has
contracted his own bills, audited
and paid them. Last April anoth
er election was held, and the same
officers re r elected.. The aldermen
have never been sworn in, and tbe
Mayor has the entire town in
charge. He manages all the. busi
ness, and has the town ont of debt,
with money in the treasury.
We have do idea that there is
another town in the state in the
same condition.—Vienna Progress.
