VOL I|. Two hundred and forty-three cities and towns of Massacliuseets have free libraries. Employing the most primitive meth ods, Paris has the cleanest streets at the least expense of any city in Europe. By anew iaw in force in the Swiss Tyrol a heavy fine is imposed on any one discovered selling edelweiss, the famous flower of the high Alps so much sought by tourists. According to tho calculation of the United States General Land Office, after all deductions and forfeitures have been made, 155,000,000 acres will be required to satisfy the grants made by Uncle Sam to railways up to 1880. ' According to foreign papers, while the Duchess of Sanfelicc was walking along the Via Fireuze in Rome, Italy, recently, the cord holding her neck lace of pearls broke, and the gems, valued at $50,000, rolled into the BCww. An alarm was sent to the Department of Streets, and laborers tfrere instructed to search for the pearls, the Via Fireuze in the mean time being closed. The hunt was successful, and all but four of the jewels were found. In Germany some time ago the So cialist party in certain industries adopted a system of boycott on a large scale. The members of tho party were instructed only to buy articles manufactured by Socialists. For the identification of these articles they were provided with a certain mark. The report of the result of the first year’s enforcement of the boycott in the hat industry has now been pub lished. It would appear that 800,000 hats with the mark of the Socialists have been sold. Says the Philadelphia Lodger: Ac cording to the statement compiled for the Virginia Historical Society by R. T. Barton of Winchester, Washing tun’s first election to the Virginia House of Burgesses cost the future father of his country $195 to get first in the hearts of his countrymen who could vote at that election, and the chief items of expense were a “hogs head and a barrel of punch, thirty five gallons of wine, forty-three gal lons of strong cider aud a dinner for his friends.” Secretary Foster says that Garfield’s speeches, which many people have considered models of classic elegance, were rarely written out, and frequent ly the orator’s best thoughts came to him after he began to speak. But before the delivery of a speech of un usual inportance it was Mr. Garfield’s custom to call half a dozen friends about him, aud discuss the subject fully in all its bearings. The sugges tions and arguments then advanced he would incorporate in his oration, which, as completed, represented tho opinion of several minds, but tho form and expression of one. Accord ing to Harper’s ’Weekly, Garfield lacked the statesman’s gift of remem bering faces, and Mr. Foster says that after all his years in congress he did not know more than fifty men personally. The newest horror is not Deeming nor the Paris Anarchists. In the opinion of the New York Sun it is considerably worse than either. An esteemed scientific contemporary says that genuine sky-signs can now be in stalled for the enterprising advertiser. By a simple arrangement of mirrors, reflecting-glasses and lights, a 6ort of gigantic magic lantern can be set up, by which images can be thrown upon the clouds. You will be able to ad vertise your wares, in letters a hun dred feet long, on the skies, so that they will be visible over a-dozen coun tries. As if this truly awful pros pect were not enough, we are told that these sky-signs can be made luminous, so will blaze away all night I Heine, in one of las rhapsodies, said that he would like t snatch a burning pine from its Nor way mountains and write with it the name of “Agues” in letters of fire on the skies. But lie would probably uot have cared to adorn the firraameii} with a blazing description of some body’s patent trousers-stretaher. State of IB a lie ItHctiHjL PROHIBITIONISTS Hold Their National Convention at Cincinnati. DELKOATEB FROM EVERT STATE IN THE UNION IN ATTENDANCE—PROCEED INGS OF THE CONVENTION. The National prohibition convention met it Cincinnati Wednesday. Chair man Dickie, of the national committee, called the meoting to order, and intro duced Dr. J. G. Evans, of Bedding col lege, 111., who opened the convention with prayer, in the course of which he entreated that rum be driven from the country and that the saloon cease to exist. A number of belated delegates sought seats after the* prayer, and the Silver Lake quartet, of New York state, ren dered a temperance selection whife order was being restored. They received an encore. Rev. Dr. Lockwood, of Cin cinnati, then on behalf of the city and the state of Ohio, welcomed the delegates. Professor Dickie res ponded to the addresses. He closed by naming ex-Qovernor Bt., John as temporary chairman. Wild cheering and the waving of flags and handker chiefs greeted the mention of the name of ex-Governor St. John. The shouting was renewed again and again as the noted Kansan stepped forward and assumed the gavel and addressed the convention. His closing words, “What is the pleasure of the convention?” elicited the prompt re sponse from numerous voices: “We want -Bt. John for president.” The name of A. F. Wolfenbarger, of Nebraska, for secretary, and a list of assistant secreta ries and sergeauts-at-arms selected by the national committee met no opposition. THE FIRST DISCUSSION. The first fight in the convention oc curred over the question of adopting the temporary rules prepared by the national committee. these provided that oniy delegates present should be entitled to vote. This would have deprived a num ber of far-off states, especially tho e in the extreme sou.h, a part of their represent ation in the temporary organization, as all their delegates could not come on ac count of the expense. Mr. J. B. Cranfill, of Texas, took the lead in behalf of these delegates. He said that if that rule were adopted it would.leave the control of the convention in states around Cincinnati. It would cost $3,500 to send the thirty-fivo delegates of Texas to Cincinnati, and they coaiu not afford it. The temporary rules would pro.bably be the permanent rules. He moved that each delegation have the right to cast its full vote whether all the delegates were present or not. After a lively tilt Mr. Cranfill carried his amendment on a rising vote, and then the rules with this amendment were adopted. The roll of states was called for the announcement of committee membership, and then the convention adjourned until 4 o’clock, after giving directions to the committee to proceed at once to the work assigned them. The most interest centered in the member ship of the platform committee and tho New Nation committee. AFTERNOON SESSION. At the afternoon session the committee on credentials reported 972- delegates present, Louisiana and South Carolina, being the only states not represented. The presentation of the report of the committee on permanent organization recommending Colonel Ritter, of In dianapolis, for permanent chairman and Sam Small for permanent secretary and reinstating the rule voted down in the morning giving states’ votes only for delegates present, was the signal for a fight. Mr. Small presented a minority report recommending that each state delegation be permitted to cast the full vote to which it is entitled. He made a vigorous speech in favor of the minority report and protested against depriving these states of their full vote as monumental injustice. The minority re port was defeated by a vote of 350 to 72, and the majority report was adopted, so that absent delegates will have no vote. The convention then adjourned until 8 o’clock p. m. The national executive committee was selected: Chair man, Dickie; vice chairman, John P. St. John, of Kansas; secretary, W. C. War dell, New York; treasurer, Samuel D. Hastings, Wisconsin; additional members, Helen Gougar, Indiana; J. H. Tate. Te nnessee; A. A. S:even9, Pennsylvania. Notwithstanding the gossip that the headquarters would be changed to Chi cago, the committee then chose New York for another four years. . Song and prayer by Rev. David Tatum, a Quaker preacher, of Chicago, opened the even ing session. Colonel Ritter, of Indiana, who was selected for permanent chair man, was escorted to the platform to succeed Governor St. John as presiding officer. Speech-oinking took up the time of the evening section. SECOND DAT. The southern question broke out before the prohibition convention had been in session five minutes Thursday, the cause being a speech made by Mrs. Gougar at Wednesday night’s meeting, which was largely made ot a story about the sale of a negro child at a slavery auction block, the 'application being made from slavery ,to drink. The speech caused indigna ion on the part of a number of southerners, and at the first opportunity Thursday Mr. W. W. Gibbs, of Virginia, was on his feet and offered the following resolu tion: “Whereas The prohibition party jg not a sectional party, but a national party; whereas, The issues of tho late ci.il war are settled, and sc tied forever; therefore resolved. That R is the sense of th c convention that speakers who are ac corded the honor of addressing the con vention be requested to refraiu from un- TRENTON, GA. FRIDAY, JULY 8, 1892. ntcessary reference to illustrations that could be considered reflective on partici pan s on the last struggle. After considerable wrangling, Chair man Dickie, of the national committee, then introduced Dr. Evans, of Abingdon, 111., who presented a plea for contribu tions to enable the national committee to prosecute i;s work. They needed mnney, he said, not for “block* of five,” but to keep up the contest against the liquor traffic. Thousand-dollar subscriptions were made by The Voice, the prohibition orgiu, and W. F. Ward well, of New York, secretary of the national prohibi tion executive committee. Through sev. eral individuals the state of Pensylvanis gave $1,200; Virginia, $1,00j; Illinois, $1,000; Minnesoti and Tennessee, 8800 ach; Massachuseo's, Colorado, Ken tucky, California, Wisconsin and New Jersey, Inoo each. There were severs! individual subscriptions of S3OO each. New York state gave SI,OOO to the na tional committee aud raised a considera ble amount in addition for state work. Gathering of subscribtions was vigorously pushed and enough small subscriptions were final y received to swell the total amount to $20,000, or $3,000 more than four years ago. The convention adjourn < and until 2 o’clock, just as the platform committee succeeded at la->t in tempora rily gettiag by the silver plank. When the convention reassembled at 2 o’clock, two reports from tho platform co nmittee were submitted. That of the maj irity was adopted, after being amend ed in two particulars, aud after a great deal of excited discussion. The platform savs: The liquor traffic is a foe to civilization, the arch enemy of popular government and a pub ic nuisance. It is the citadel of tho forces that corrupt politics, promote poverty and orime, degrade the nation’s liomi life, thwait the wilt of the people and will deliver our oouutry into he hands of r tpacious class interests. Alt laws hat unde ■ the guise of r gulatiou legalize and protect this traffic or mike the government * are in its ill-gorten gains, are vioious in prin ciple and powerless as a remedy. We declare anew for the entire suppression of the manufacture, sale and importation, ex portation and transportation of alcoholic liquors as a beverage by federal and state legislation, and the full powers of the government should os exerted to secure this result. Any party that f iils to recognize the dominant nature of this is-ue in American politics is undeserving the support of the people. 2- No citizeu should bo denied the right to vote on account of sex, and equal labor should receive equal wages without regard to sex. 3. The money of the oou itry, composed of gold, silver and paper, should be uwued by tho general government only, and in no sufficient quanti ies to meet tho demands of business and give full opportunity for the employment of la bor. To this end an increase in ho volume of is demanded, and * i oration should be allowed to make any profit through its issue. It should be made legal tender for the payment of all debts, public and private. Its volume should be fixed at a defi nite sum p r capita an I made to increase with our increase in population. 4. VVe favor froe and unlimited ooinage of t-dlver and gold. (This fourth plank was stricken out by the convention by a vote of 596 to 335-) Tariff should be levied only as defense against for- ign governments which levy tariff upon or bar out our products from their mar kets, the revenue being incidental. The resi due of tho means eces.ary to an economical administration of should be raised by levying the burden on what the peo ple possess, instead of what we consume. Then follow declarations in favor of government control of railroads, telegraph and other public corporations, and strin gent imm gration and naturalization laws, asraist alien ownership of lands United States, favoring a legal day of rest, arbitration, libeial pensions public schools with the English language alone,against margin speculation aud mob law, and the arraignment of both old parties for a long catalogue of sins. To this was added from the minority report the following: Recognizing and declaring that the prohibi tion of the liquor traffic has becomo the domi nant issue in national politics, we invite to fu 1 party fellowship all diose who, on this one dominant issue are with us, agreod in the full belief that this party can and wi 1 remove seo tional differences, promote national unity and insure the best welfare of our entire land. This ad litional plank was at once voted down along with the balance of the mi nority platform, but its failure came near causing a large number of delegates to abandon the convention and it was recon sidered and added to the pla’form as adopted. Discussion upon it developed great heat and confusion, and there seemed dauger of another schism. Then the following resolution, offered by Rev. R. G. Evans, of Abingdon, 111., was car ried : Resolved, That we favor a liberal ap propriation by the federal government for the world’s Columbian exposition, but only on condition that the sale of intoxi cating liquors on the grounds be prohib ited, and that the exposition be kept closed on Sunday. NIGHT SESSION. Immediately after the opening prayer at the night session, the nominating speeches promptly began. Ex-Governor John P. St. John, at the request of the California delegation, was given the floor first to place before the convention the name of General John Bidwell, of Cali fornia. Speeches seconding Bidweii continued until New York was reached, when W. Jennings Demurest was placed in nomination. L. B. Logan, of Ohio, put in nomination Gideon T. Stewart. Though only three candidates were named for the first place, innumerable nominal in" and seconding speeches lasted until nearly midnight. On the first ballot, at two minutes to midnight, General John Bidwell, of California, was nominated t > head the national prohibi tion ticket. The totals, before any changes or corrections were made, stood 882 for Bidwell, 184 for Stewart, 142 for Demorest aud three for Bascom, 487 being necessary to a choice. It is stated that the Thomson-Boostos Electric Company has 1080 patents on Us electrical apparatus. NEWS IN GENERAL Happenings <tf the Day Called from Onr Telegraphic and Cable Dispatches.

Dun & Co.’s weekly review of trade says: Bu-intss failures occurring throughout the country, during the week number for the United States, 171, and Canada, 2G; total, 197. The fiscal year, never matched in the whole history of the country, in the volume of industrial pro duction, in the magnitude of of domestic exchanges, or in foreign trade has just closed. Imports for the year have been about $833,000,000; the increase at New York in June over last year being about eighteen per cent. Exports from New York in June gained 15.4 per cent, and the aggregate lor the year has been about $1,027,000,000. Railroad earnings have been the largest in any year thus far, and the clearings in June the largest ever known outside of Now York. Failures for half the year have been 5,503, against 6,074 in 1891, and the liabilities, $62,000,000, against $92,000,000, and on the whole about tho smallest for five years. In spite of low prices, additional works are going into operation, even in iron manufacture, and yet more in woolen and cotton. Moreover the crops of this year promise to be very satisfactory, and tno new half year begins with ex cellent prospects. Excessive rains h ive again set back grain, to a limited extent, principally in the low lands, but the wheat receipts at west ern points have been 1,883,000 bushels iu three days, and Atlantic ex ports 959,000 bushels, showing that the old supplies are not exhausted and prices are one-eighth lower than a wfeek ago. Corn is a cent higher in spite of the large receipts and very light exports, the fear being that a part of the corn may be de stroyed by wet weather or so delayed that frost will catch'it before maturity. Oats are also a cent higher. Speculation has been light in grain, but pork products have advanced sharply; pork, $1 per bar rel; lard, 42c per 100 pounds, and hogs, 35c. Speculation in cotton has been active with sales of 420,000 bales here resulting in a decline of a sixteenth, though the receipts are getting light, but the crop prospects are good and the stock insight is enormous. The hardware tn.de is large, thoug i at low prices, and in other brauches of business is fair for the sea son. At Baltimore good orders for clothing are noted and an eaily season for shoes expected, though the packing season is expected to be light. Eastern shipments Of boots aud shoes gain every week on all the past records, and for the year are nearly 6 per cent, ahead of last year and only 1 per cent, below those of 1890. Woolen mills are rather more ac tive than usual for the sensoD, and cotton manufacture has rarely been in better shape as to stocks unsold. Speculation in stocks has been languid for holders expected a great public de mand for investment of unprecedented dividends and interest payments on July Ist, but it has not yet appeared. Money is abundant at all financial centers with but moderate demand, and collections generally good, except where wet weai li gand bad roads check distrioution and settlements. Rarely has the country be gan anew fiscal year with more satisfac tory commercial prospects, and there is 1 .ss financial apprehension than is usual in a presidential yiar. The public debt statement issued Fri day, shows during June the interest and non-interest bearing debt increased sl,- 140,412; certificates and treasury notes offset by an equal amount of cash iu the treasury decrea ed $13,836,413; total cash in the treasury July Ist, $785,487,- 984; net cash balance in the treasury, s2B,662,377,increased during the month, $686,490; certificates outstanding, gold, $146,598,929; silver, $331,614,305; cur rency, $30,320,000; treasury notes of 1870, $103,712,071. A BANK CLOSED. The Cashier’s Mind as Well as the B Jolts in an Unsatisfactory Condition. The Goshen National bank at Middle town, N. Y., did not open Monday morn ing. Cashier William M. Murray has manifested mental disturbances for some weeks and had absented himself from home since Wednesday. The national bauk examiner at a recent examination directed the officers’ attention to the un satisfactory condition of the books and that many loans were bad. Murray is county treasurer of Orauge county. It Is said that the public funds are in a trust company in New York. It is hard to get at the tacts, as the directors met in secret session. It is supposed that the surplus is gone and that the capital is impaired. NO. 19. THIRD PARTY CONVENTION. Weaver and Field for President aud Vice-President. The national convention of the people’s party was called to order at Omaha, Neb. r Saturday July 2nd, with 1,366 delegates present. C. H. Ellington, of Georgia, was made temporary chairman. When permanent organization was effected H. L. Louck, of South Dakota, was selected as chairman. Tho platform adopted was a very extensive one in its scope, re-iter ating all demands heretofore promulgated by the alliance and people’s party,besides many new planks were added. The reading of the platform elicited much ap plause and was overwhelmingly adopted. WEAVER NOMINATED. On the call of the states for presiden tial candidates, Alabama placed in nomi nation General James B. Weaver, of Iowa; Illinois presented the name of Senator Kyle, of South Dakota. One or two others were presented, but were afterward withdrawn. From the begin ning Weaver led ail his competitors. The final Vote stood: Weaver, 995; Kyle, 275; Page, 1; Norton, 1. FIELD FOR VICE PRESIDENT. In the race for the vice presidential nomination, Ben Terrell, of Texas, re ceived-554, and General James Field, the one-legged confederate veteran of Vir ginia, received 573 votes, giving the nomination to General Field. The con vention then adjourned. TROUBLE PREDICTED When the Carnegles Attempt to Start Their Works. A Pittsburg, Pa., dispatch says: Affairs at Homestead have assumed an ugly phase and serious trouble is ap prehended. Tuesday H. C. Frick, chair man of the Carnegie steel compiny, ap pealed to Sheriff McCleary for protection and asked that 100 deputies be sent out to the works at Homestead as soon as possible to protect the steel works. Mem bers of the Amalgamated Association were confident that the firm intends to make a test of strength within a very short time, for it c- uld not well wait a year to break down the strictness of the watch. It was stated that Manager Potter and about twenty of his superin tendents are away in different cities pre sumably searching for 260 skilled work ers, without whom it would be impossi ble to start the mill. This is accepted as a further indication of thy management’s desire to try aud start the milt at once. TAILORS WALK OUT One Thousand of Them Dissatisfied with “Task” Work. One thousand coat tailors in Baltimore went on a strike Thursday morning in an effort to free themselvos from “task” work. Heretofore each tailor has been allotted a certain amount of work by the contractors to be done in a day. Some times to finish this, it is claimed, they had to work fourteen to sixteen hours. The men want to work ten hours a day with reasonable wages and weekly pay day. ATLANTA MARKETS. CORRECTED WEEKLY. (irorerint.
