DEATH OF DAN VOORHEEB,
The people of the South will
learn with deep regret that this
able statesman and friend of
the South died in Washington
last Saturday morning. He
was iO yerrs old, and had been
in feeble health for two years.
While his term ns Senator did
not expire until the 4th of
March, on account of his feeble
icondition he took but little ac
tive interest in the proceedings
m the Senate for a year or two
Senator Voorhees was one of
the ablest men in the Senate
and had been in public life
forty years, ns Representative
and Senator from Indiana.
He first came into public no
tice by his celebrated speech at
Charlestown, Ya., when he de
fended young Cook, who was
an accomplice of old John
Brown in the mid on Harper s
Kerry. Perhaps no speech in
a criminal case in half a centu
ry attracted more attention
than his patriotic pica for this
boy who was led into the crime
of treason and murder by tin
wild old abolitionist, John
Brown. But tie* eloquence of
the “tall sycamore” availed
but little before a Virginia jury
and the young man bad to sub
submit to the inexorable de
mands of the law.
The Senator endeared him
self to the Southern people by
his bold and manly stand for
the constitutional rights of the
Southern States during the
days of reconstruction. Allen
G, Thurman,Thomas Hendricks
and Dan Voorhees were the
great Democratic leaders who
braved public sentiment at the
National capitol, and for year
after year met the fanatical
leaders of the North, then in
the Hindi of power, upon the
floor of Congress and defeated
many wild schemes that look
ridiculous in this day, with the
light of future thrown back on
them.
They all lived to see the tri
umph of the principles for
which they fought. Hendricks
died Vice-President and Thur
man and Voorhees passed away
in a green old age, honored
even by those who had de
nounced them as traitors to the
flag.
Honor to their memory!
Three grand men who illustra
ted in their lives the nobility
of American manhood.
HOWELL
Hon. Evan P. Howell, who
has been editor-in-chief of the
Atlanta Constitution for twenty
years, lias sold out his interest
in the paper to 11. T. Inman
and retires from journalism.
Howell, Estell, and Pat
Walsh have been the leading
editors of Georgia for years.
Evan, as our people know hiuti
is one of the astute politicians
of the State and he bus man
aged to keep tile Constitution
in the front ranks as a great
southern newspaper. His ex
tensive acquaintance and large
circle of personal friends in
every section gave him excep
tional advantages in keeping
posted with current events and
his paper had the knack of
catching on to coming events
that always made it interesting
if somewhat sensational.
It is reported that hereoieved
a cool SIOO,OOO for liis interest
in the great paper. Well, he
retiris pretty well fixed and can
afford to take a rest. Blit lie
will he heard from again.
Mark that!
GIVE PROPER CREDII’.
We have never stickled about
our brethren of the press appro
priating the editorials of the
IIkk.U.D. We liavo been used
to this for lo! these many years,
hut we do insist that if they pro
pose to give credit for the ar
ticles taken bodily from our
columns that they do so cor
rectly.
Our attention litis been called
to a number of articles revisitly
credited to other journals.
Some times to one and at others

FREE SILVER DEMOCRACY
SWEEPS THE FIELD.
The Republicans are not only
startled imt have nearly jumped
out of their boots at the tidings
that come from the West in the
recent elections.
“From Ohio andjlllinoiscomes
the glad tidings that' Hip De
mocracy lias swept the field and
the Republican majority of last
fall wiped out. Carter Harri
son, the regular Democratic
candidate for mayor in Chicago,
got more votes than all his op
ponents —Republicans, gold
bugs, independents. His plu
rality was 77,760, and his ma
jority over all 2,222. And the
Democrats will have a majority
of eight in the city council.
I)i Ohio the tide is turned
and Hanna feels that with all
his money and masterful man
ipulations the scuatorship is
about t«> slip from him and go
to John R. McLean, the veteran
editor, who can spend money if
necessary. He came very near
being run for Vice-President
with Brvan and would have
been nominated but for the fact
that tile convention desired au
Eastern man.
The free silver men are mak
ing the issue sharply in every
election and in the next presi
dential election will swoe p tl |e I

WAR INEVITABLE.
The long looked for war be
tween Greece and Turkey has
actually begun. The groat
European powers that under
took to maintain an armed
peace by threatening to inter
fere to prevent the Greeks from
attacking the Turks in Crete,
seems to have failed in their
efforts, and a Grecian army has
crossed the frontier and begun
hostilities. This will bring an
open declaration of war from
the l’orte, who claims to have
tried to maintain the peace.
The result of this invasion
will, it. is feared, precipitate a
general war. While the gov
ernments of England. France,
Fcssia and Italy hold up the
cause of Turkey,it is well known
that the people of those conn
tries sympathize with the Greeks
and will readily aid them in
the struggle, and it may cause
a general war vet.
The world is against Turkey.
Iler barbarous slaughter of the
Christians for the lust year in
Asia lias stirred up an enmity
from the iicasnnts to the nobil
ity, and the power of govern
ment to restrain the people will
be tried to its fullest extent.
Popular sentiment cannot al
ways be restrained by govern
ment in England, Franco, or in
this country.
The report that Gen’l Rivera
had been shot by order of a
drum-head court martial turns
out to he a mistake. Gen’l.
Woyler is not disposed to hang
or shoot just now. It might
c implicate matters. He is held
as a prisoner of war and can In
put in their filthy dungeons
where he will soon die and this
will give no excuse for interven
tion by our government.
Since McKinley was inaugu

THE RISING WATERS.
The streams in the West con
tinue to rise and great appre
hension is felt in New Orleans
for the safety of the city. The
immense body of water corning
down cannot find outlet suffi
cient and tin# strong levees that
form the only protection to the
city are in danger. Thousands
of men are employed piling
sand bags on the levees to
strenghen them.
All along up the river as high
as Cairo the danger is great.
The state and city authorities
and tlie people are working
night and day to prevent other
breaks. These levees have to
be guarded day and night to
prevent their being blown op
by men from the opposite side
of the river. The whole coun.
try is under water. People
have had to flee from their
homos and drive their stock to
the ridges. Many of them
without other shelter are living
in tents provided bys the state.
No record has been kept of
number drowned or the loss of
stock, out they have been very
heavy. Thousands of people
suddenly run out from their
homes by the breaking of a
levee were not able to carry
provisions with them and are in
a starving condition. Relief
boats are constantly being sent
out to rescue and feed the peo
ple who are cut off.
HOMICIDE IN MACON.
Charles Reid, an employee of
the Macon Telegraph, shot and
instantly killed W. L. Halstead
in Macon last Wednesday.
Reid’s wife had gone to a cir
cus where Halstead sold tickets
for reserved seats, and she stat
ed to her husband that Halstead
insulted her as she left the show
by asking permission to visit
li"r that night. Who hunted
Dp her husband and told him
of the insult, and he procured
a shot gun. In company with
his wife and a friend, they went
to the show and Mrs. Reid
pointed out Halstead as the
man who had insulted hfr.
Without saying a word to
Halstead, Reid raised liis shot
gun and put the whole loan in
to liis victim’s breast. He simp
ly turned and fell and died in a
few minutes.
Reid was arrested and locked
up and is still in jail waiting
the action of the grand jury.
It is believed that Reid’s wife
and the man who went with
him will all be indicted for the
murder.
Halstead’s wife lives at Clark
ston, in DeKalb county, and
the reipaii.s of her husband
were sent there for burial.
Halstead canto to Georgia
last year, and had been con
nected with the Atlanta Com
mercial for some time. He
afterwards went to Columbus,
where he joined the show.
CORRI I'TION EXPOSED.
The Senatorial race in Ken
tucky, that has kept that State
stirred up for tho last year, is
developing some startling sto
ries of corruption. The reader
will remember the long session
of the Legislature a year ag »
when the contest was on for
U. S. Senator and the Demo
crats wen*in the majority, and
Joe Blackburn was a candidate
to succeed himself, oppossd by
Dr. Hunter. The Democrats
then had it in their power to
send a Democrat to the Senate,
but Carlysle, Cleveland & Co.,
the leaders of the gold bug eh -
incut of the country, deliber
ately planned to defeat Black
burn because he was a free
silver man, and turn the State
ovor.to the Republicans.
The tight is again renewed
for the vacant seat,and Hunter
lacks only two or three votes
of a majority. Determined to
succeed, he lias attempted to
bribe members to vote for him,
and the caboodle has been in
dicted by the grand jury.
Kilt lire, developments will be
rich, rare and racy.

COLLISION ON THE
SOUTHERN,
TWO PAHgRXOER TRAINS COLLIDE
• NEAR CHARLOTTE.
Two passenger trains on the
Bout I crn Railroad collided near
Hanwirg last Sunday.
Ti e trains were the fast mail
which left Atlanta at 11:50
Sunday night and the South
bound passenger which left
Richmond Sunday morning.
The East-bound train con
sisted of nine cars: two express
cars were next to the engine,
then came two postal cars and
a baggage car, nbd following
them the passenge r cars. The
East-bound train was behind
time and intended to take the
siding at Hamburg. The other
train had stopped at Concord
to get wat *r and was behind in
reaching Hamburg. The trains
were running at full speed, and
neither engineer realized the
danger until they were coming
tog. i her.
Strange to say, none of the
passenger cars left the' track,
and the passengers were uniii
jured except a severe shaking
«P-
The dead are: Will Donald
son, (iromau; J. C. Benton,
mail agent; .1. C. Kenney, en
gineer, who will die; W. B.
Tunslate, engineer, badly scald
ed but may recover. Several
others were badly injured.
The- engines were torn into a
mass of wreckage. The ••ell of
one engine was thrown into a
tree some distance away. The
crash was heard for miles and
sounded like a clap of thunder.
THE DIVINE HEALERS.
Recently we see a great many
accounts of the healing of dis
eases by the faith cure or in
some mysterious way.
The public is disposed to look
on the extraordinary healing us
humbug, but the fact remains
that a number of chronic dis
eases have been cured in some
supernatural way. Deafness of
years standing have been healed.
The lame have been made to
walk and throw away their
crutches. Many wonderful
cures are attested by reliable
people. llow it is done—what
influences are brought to b<>ar
is a question that mystifies the
public.
They Macon Telegraph is cer

General Morgan of Alabama,

to retain the life of youth, and

The Governor anti C.l*. Byrd

city, and return home to begin
life under more favorable aus
pices.
In these days ii is fashionable
for enterprises t to go into the
