Editor and Proprietor, T Senator Allison of Iowa passed tlnough Atlanta last Monday. He was on a pleasure trip, looking at the country. Augusta is all afloat again. The Savannah has spread over much of tho city, and it seems probable that much damage will be done. The Methodist Episcopal con¬ ference of Piladelpliia voted against admitting women dele¬ gates to tho electoral and general conferences of tho church last week. Tho North Carolina legislature has redistricted the state, making eight democratic and one repub¬ lican districts. It has appropri¬ ated $25,000 for an exhibit at the World’s Fair. It is apparent from some of the speeches u ndo at the Woraau’s Suffrage Convention at Washing¬ ton that the women of Kansas elected Senator Peffer, the suc¬ cessor to Mr. Ingalls. How long havo the women of Kansas been voting? Tho fifty-first congress appro¬ priated nearly $2,000,000 more than the fiftieth congress, but it couldn’t stand the small amount necessary to give the people one cent letter postage. All right, wait until the people’s congress takes hold. The death of Senator Hearst was a double misfortune to the country and the democratic party. Tho party loses the sorvices of an honest and level headed Senator, and owing to tho Governor of California being n republican, that party will gain the vote of his successor lor the unexpired term, which ends March 8, 1893. We are told, says the Coving ton Enterprise, that a Newton county colored , , \ readier , warmed , hifli congregation to tho shouting point a few Sundays ago by de scribing to them how “Alexander the great led the Hebrew’ children across the plains of Manassas and halted , u , on *111 the banks ot t *1 the Po tomac to eaU-ora l,,.h bread and fried mallet hahea. the Parson got things somwhat mixed, but ho instilled eutliusiasm iu hlB flock all the Kiuno j w„ '' 6 "oulct won i.i suggest s „<r<r ( v s f to “Rnffnla liunalo Bill" that ho mij-lit add a n.nv feature to Ilia “Wild West" show. ] 1 which is now in Europe, by em¬ ploying the ex-members of con¬ gress to repsat daily, for tho edi¬ fication of the adherents of the monarchial .yH™”, the “riot act”, whieii they have on acted so often during the lifetime of the unlnniontod fifty-first con gress.

R. Druggist. Larry Gantt the Man. A few days ago Col. L. F. Dbv ingston received a letter from Hon. C. W. Macune, appointing T. L. Gantt a member of the Na¬ tional Alliance Committee. In the letter which contained the appointment Dr. Macune said: “You will see that it is my duty to appoint one man in each state in behalf of the alliance who shall be ex-officio chairman of the executive or state central com¬ mittee in his state, and shall ap [point district chairman, and in turn appoint 1 1 county chairmen. This . means to . organize the ,, state , , thoroughly for the discussion of our demands during the coming spring. State and national dele are elected by appropriate and representative meetings held for that purpose so that the su preme council next November have fun authority and an active disposition to select a full delegation to the great political conference in ’92.” By virtue of his commission from Dr. Macune, Mr. Gantt has appointed Ms cen tral committee of the state. It is: First district: W. It. Kemp, Swainsboro, Emanual county; Second district; W. W. Webb, Mars, Lowndes county; Third district, W. A. Wilson, Amencus, Sumpter county; Fourth dis¬ trict: J. H. Taylor, LaGrange, Troup county; Fifth district: C. T. Zacliry, McDonough, Henry county; Sixth district: Alexander Atkinson, Jackson, Butts county; Seventh district: G. H. Cameron, LaFayette, Walker county; Eighth district: L. H. O. Martin, Elberton, Elbert county; Ninth district: T. A. McFarland, Lavi uia, Franklin county; Tenth dis¬ trict: Martin Y. Calvin, Augusta, Richmond county. It is easily seen from the above that, if the alliance controls poli¬ tics, as it seems likely to do, then tho present arrangement leaves Georgius national politics very much in the hands of Mr. Gantt and Dr. Macune. This may be satisfactory to the alliance and good people of Geor¬ gia; but, if] so, we are mistaken. Time will tell.
