If, on the judgment day, there are any Republicans from Indiana among the goats, they will get together on the border of Hades and pass a resolu tion declaring that they are, and al ways have been, sheep.—Courier- Journal. It is rumored in society circles in Washington that Secretary Bayard will, within the year, be married to a young lady who belongBto one of the first families of Virginia. It is expect ed that the engagement will soon be announced. Randall and Party. They are working awav on a plan to reduce the revenue, it will take some time yet to know definitely what they propose. A Washington dispatch says a committee will confer with Speaker Carlisle. Gen. Lawton has been talking to the New York reporters about the railroads. He told the Star man that with the exception of Kansas, and perhaps one other State, Georgia, during the past year, increased ner railroad facilities more than any other State in the Union. Georgia certainly has reason to brag a little. General John S. Mosby, the ex-Con- federate guerrilla, is investigating the charge that Generals Pleasanton and Robert Ingalls had a scheme to bribe him in 1803. The man who first said he could be bribed to betray the Con federacy can get an engagement of a very warm nature by applying to the General.—Columbus Enquirer-Sun. Cluverius was hanged with a silken cord, and the experience was such as to suggest that if society must keep on killing men in this way there is nothing like hemp. The silken rope stretched apparently because of un twisting to such a degree that for a moment it seemed as if there would be no hanging at all—the culprit’s feet very nearly touching a point of sup port.—Augusta News. Young Animals. No young animal should he fed so high as to lie kept excessively fat un less it is intended for the butcher, o* table use at Home, it it is reared for milch purposes nil that is necessary is to keen it in good growing condition. Excessive food until it furnishes milk is too costly for profit. Eureka Recitations. We have just received from the Publishers a copy of number eight of the series of Recitations ealled “The Eureka Recitations and Read ings.” It is a very good collection and has been compiled and pr pared by Mrs. Anna Randall-Diehl, whose reputa tion as a w’riterof standard works on Elocution, and also as a teacher of the art, is second to none. It is es pecially adapted for Day and Sab bath Schools, all Adult and Juve nile Organizations, Young People’s Associations, Reading Clubs, Temper ance Societies, and Parlor Enter tainments. They comprise Prose and Poetry—Serious, Humorous, Pathetic, Comic, Temperance, and Patriotic. All those interested in providing an entertainment should have this col lection. Tpe very low price asked for these books must ensure a large sale. It contains 128 pages, und is bound witli a handsome lithograph cover pri nted in four colors, and will be mailed to any address, posl-paid, on receipt of twelve cents in stumps, by J. S. Ogilvie & Co., the Publishers, 31 Rose Street, New York. Mu. Editor:—Please publish the following touchingly beautiful lines. They will awaken sad, sweet sym pathy in many hearts. J. THEY SAY IF OUR BELOVED DEAD. Troy Times. They suy if our beloved dead should seek me old familiar pluee, Some stranger would be there instead. Ana they would find uo welcome fate. 1 cannot tell how Ii might be In ntli-r homes—but this 1 know; (. ouhi my lost darling come to me, That sue would never dnd it so. Oft-times the (lowers have come and gone, oft-times the winter winds have blown, The while her peaceful rest went on, And I have learned to live alone. I Have slowly learned from day to day In all lie’s tasks to bear my part; lint whether grave, or whether gay, I hide her memory in my heart. Fond, faithful love has blessed my way. And friends are round me true and tried; Tin y have their place—Out tier’s to-day is cm ly as the day she died. How would I spring with bated breath And Joy too deep for word or sign, To take my darling home from death, And, once again to call her mine! I dare not dream—the blissful dream, It tills my heart with wild unrest; Where yond> r cold, white marbles gleam, who still must slumber—God knows best. But this I know, that, those who say Our best beloved wou’d find no place, Have never hungered every day— Through years and years—for one sweet face. I* the Tariff a Mysterious Question. We think the tariff is a very mys terious question to every oue who does not properly investigate it; and a very simple one to every intelligent person who will investigate it. One must first know what a tariff is and that is easily comprehended. A cer tain amount of money is needed to meet the expenses of each of the states. Tluit is raised by a direct tax upon the people of each State. The United States require a certain amount of money to meet the ex penses of its government. Since the formation of the General Govern ment the money needed for it lias been obtained by wbat is called a tar iff, The expenses of the State gov ernments have been raised by a di rect tax upon the people of the re spective states and the taxes are paid in lawful money. The expenses of the general government have been paid in money raised by a tax upon foreign goods brought to this coun try from foreign countries for sale. To raise the money to meet the ex penses of the general government, a duty or tax is put upon the goods so brought to this couutry for sale, which has to be paid by the. man or company, or owners of the articles so brought, before he can land and sell them. Some goods are admitted free and may be landed and sold without being taxed at all. Others are taxed at various rates. The average rate is about 45 per cent. So that if the amount of goods should be flvo bil lions of dollars, the amount received would be |450,000,000, and more or less according to the value of the goods. The tariff then, it will be seen, is a list of various articles and goods brought to this country from foreign countries for sale, upon which our government levies a tax for per mitting them to be landed and sold, and out of the money thus obtained, the expenses of the United States f overnuient are liquidated or paid f the importer, the one who brings the goods pays the tax imposed b our tariff law, be can land and se them. If lie refuses to pay the tax, or duty, as it is celled, he cannot land and sell them. In the foregoing state ment it will be seen that we have avoided the use of all the usual com mercial terms that are employed by writers and speakers on the subject of the tariff, and we shall continue to avoid them in the balance of the arti cle, so that every man and every boy, who can read and write, can know what a tin iff is, as well aH our learned Sesmtors.aud RMiiresentatives. Next, ww-shaK show, in the same plain und simple way, how this tuiin policy is misapplied to the great injury of mil lions of our people. We assert that the protective tariff costs the people of the United States an unnecessary tax of not less than one thousand mil lions of dollars per year, of which the farmers pay much more than half and they do not get a dollar in return. We cannot go through the whole pro tected list. It would take several columns to do it. The highest taxes are on necessities, the lowest taxes are on luxuries. The poor are crush ed, the rich have millions, yea bil lions, added to their wealth. There is not one man in 10,000 in Georgia, who knows that many articles are protected by duties, that is, that the prices, for the privilege to foreigners to come und sell their goods, range from 80 to over 100 per cent. We will take one or two articles as specimens: blankets are taxed by the tariff from 72 to 107 per cent, according to quali ty. We write from memory, iu say ing, that in oue year, 1883 the money raised from blankets under the tax was only a few thousand dollars. Foreign blankets that could have been obtained by the people from foreigners at $3, cost them over $5, and other foreign blankets, at less than 3 dollars, ranging from $1.75 to $2, cost the people nearly double those sums. The foreigners could not pay the tariff tax and make a dime, anil hence, withheld them. The gov ernment got, iu 1883, the pitiful sum of 4 or 5 tliousand dollars when, at a reasonable tax, the foreigners would have come in and sold enough blan kets in tliia country to have enabled the government to get as many mil lions. The exclusion of the foreign blankets, gave the whole market to the makers of blankets in the United States and tiiey sold them for $4.50. Tliis blanket illustration is applica ble to all other articles, sucli as cloth ing, lints, siioes, rice, steel rails, iron, all agricultural Implements, salt in bulk, llannels, knit goods, chemicals, and hundreds of other articles, mak ing up a grand total bounty of one thousand millions of dollars, the bur den of which falls heavier upon the i farmers than any other class. Now we ask our reuders to note, that of the one thousand millions, we refer to, not a dime goes into the United j States treasury, but into the pockets of the grasping and pulling manufac turers. Perhaps, out of very shame, they do not take advantage of pro tection to the very fullest amount af forded them by the robber tariff, but their sickly concession, of an insig nificant portion, is eriougli to make the devil laugh and desire|to dance a rigadoou with every protectionist that crosses his pathway. The farm ers are the greatest losers by this protective conspiracy. Wo toil more S for them, than for any other class, i for they are the greatest sufferers anil j we constantly regret that they, or most of them, cannot, or do not see how they are crushed by this political I monster. We want more of them to i come to us and let us reason togeth er. They will see that high protec tion excludes foreign goods, and the home manufacturers then add the the tax intended for the goods of the foreigner, to their prioes, and thus, indirectly it becomes a bouxty. As we have heretofore stated the tax, whioh excludes the foreign goods, be comes a bounty by being added to the price of the domestlo goods of the saipe kind and quality. This looks like a fraud if not intended for one. A State Normal School. Constitution. The communication on this subject in another column, will commend it- Belf to all thoughtful readers. The writer, who by the way, is a successful and popular educator, makes a strong plea for the establish ment of a school in which our teach ers may be educated. We fully agree with our correspondent that the state owes it to the daughters of Geor gia to look after their interests while it is spending so much money on the education of the bovs. Teaching is a profession for which women are pe culiarly fitted, and they should be properly equipped for the work. That Georgia should be one of the few southern states without a normal school, is all tho more singular when the fact is borne in mind that the first female college in the world was started within our borders. Enjoy ing this honorable pre-eminence as a pioneer in the cause of female educa tion, Georgia cannot afford to pause while work yet remains to be done to secure the lull fruition of her splen did beginning in this direction. It is to be hoped that our legislators will at an early day take the matter into consideration. A Normal School Needed. Editors ok “Constitution”:—W© feel more than ever the need of a normal school in Georgia, and from all that can be learned of the present body of legislators, we are convinced they are more favorably inclined to education than any former body, and that if the matter is brought before them in the proper light it will meet with a hearty response. Georgia is one of the few states in the south which lias no normal school. Her daughters have acted nobly sinoe the war, and thousands are now struggling for their own support. Will not. Georgia give them a helping hand, and provide a surer way for the fulfilment of their hopes and aspira tions? They ask a school ea’^DP^d with normal-frnfixed, und with every appliance for teaching, so that those desiring to fit themselves as teachers may be trained there without expense, provided they give to the state so much of their teach ing life. This will secure the best in struction in our primary schools, and our higher schools and university will not suffer as heretofore. Georgia stands as the empire state of the South. Can she afford to sit with folded hands, in regard to this matter, when its failure would be so detrimental to her best interests? Will not some true friend of educa tion present this matter before the legislature at the next assembly, and will not all true Georgians join heart ily in advocating and carrying out the proposition made? All bickering and strife for the place of location must be set aside. Forbid that jealousy, rivalry and oth er motives interfere with the interest of the movement. The location be comes a secondary matter. We want the school, and we must have the school, and wherever it is best to have it located can be decided by the leg islators themselves. If they are wise enough to give the necessary means for the support of the school, they will he wise enough to locate it prop erly. We would like to write on this sub ject as we feel, and to be able to show you the vast proportion of pupils that go forth each year to make teaching a profession. Can Georgia allow her daughters to go to other States to get the training they must have to fit them properly for their work, and give to those states the benefit of the talent, which by right is hers? We can hardly believe this. Georgia’s daughters are appealing to her with open hands and heavy hearts. Can she afford to resist their appeals? One ok Gkorgia’s Daughters. Represeuative Miller, of Texas, in troduced a bill in the House Thursday for the relief of depositiors in the Freedman’s Savings Bank. The bill is framed on the recommendations of the Controller of the Currency, and appropriates $1,000,000 for the relief of the depositors, who were robbed by Republican rascals anil will get justice from a Democratic Administration.— Courier-Journal. The two mysterious individuals who shot to death a young man at White Plains, N. Y., and afterward, when cornered by officers, took their own lives, have been identified ns John and Thomas Brisbnn, aged 17 und 19 years. They were cronic dime-novel renders, and left their homes in New York some weeks ago, ostensibly to make a name for themselves. “For there vras never yet a philos opher, that could endure the tooth ache, patiently.” Perhaps not—but there’s little wit in enduring it at all, when one bottle of Salvation Oil will cure it. Washington Letterv From Our Regular Correspond**^. Washington, Jan. 24,. 1887: Editor Union-Recorder: The present Congress has redeewM* its reputation during the first half of this, its last session, and it will now* down to history honored, even if it should do nothing more for the re mainder of its life. The enactment of the Presidential Succession bill has- been followed by that regulating the Electorial Count, and so a doable peril is removed. It is now pretty certain that President Cleveland’s successors will be elected and inaugu rated without, any resort to partisan war—a calamity that hitherto has been averted only by the tolerance of the people. But this Is not half of whnt lias been accomplished. Tho Inter-state Com merce bill, “for better or for worse,” has gone through both houses, ami only awaits the executive signature to become a law. Then a rigorom. Anti-Polygamy measure has at last been passed; an Investigation of the Pacific Railroad crookedness has been ordered and the old Mexican veteratw- aro about to be pensioned. At the end of this Cougress, the terms of one-third of the whole mna- iber of United Btatos Senators expire; While some of them have been re elected, others Will be succeeded by new men. It is noticeable that Fed eral soldiers are getting scarce in the Senate. There are only seven m«= who fought on the Union side during the war, while there are sixteen whose names are on the muster roll cf the Confederacy. It is probable tha* only three of the ex-Federals will be left when the Senate is called to or der at the commencement of the next session. These will be Senator* Hawley, Manderson and Plumb. Bur- teen Republican Senators will be sworn in on tthe 4th of next March; . but four of them wore the Confedar. ate gray. This will leave the Senate with twenty ex-Confederates,. sjb«£ three soldiers of the Union. In regard to Lieutenant Emery x Arctic trip, Secretary Whitney h» expressed himself in no reneertam language. Referring to the report that the Lieut, wanted to go North m the “Thetis,” he said the United States had something else to ds witu its vessels, naval officers und sailors besides sending them off on Arctic Expeditions. “I will not say, howe*- er," continued tho Secretary, ‘ tl*s there will be no such exiyeditionai-ri- der the present Administration, bui certainly not with my consent. No one will receive orders from iue for such a trip in consonance with my wishes.” The President is in good \ ii Salt h again, but ho is careful to favor his rheumatic knee on all occasions. He felt compelled to decline to review the order of the Mystic Shrinoiwhich visited the city during the.week, 1 ft» fear of the damp air 1.0 -which bto would he exposed, anti.1 lie could nwX go to the top of the AYaellington. Mon ument with Mrs. Cleveland and MI&.. Corcoran according to appointmaoA. This trip to the clouds had boewai'- ranged ror three o'clock, and atrthat hour everything was in readiness for the distinguished visitors. The in terior of tne Monument was electrir' cally lighted from top to bottom, a a fire was built in the boiler house, steam was generuted, arid several E reliminary trips of the elevator had een made to see that everything was in complete running order for thr» expected visit of the President. Mrs. Cleveland was on time an announcing in a disappointed tone that the Presi dent was not able to come, gracefnlly tendered her arm to ttie venerable Mr. Corcoran, and conducted him to the elevator. The air inside the Mon ument is damp and chilly, and when the marble door swung open a blast rushed out that almost took the breatli of those entering. The visi tors looked down upon the magnifi cent panorama at the 500 foot level. Mrs. Cleveland took especial interest in the White House, and tried hard to recognize a familiar figure at the library window. To-inorrow the prominent advo cates of woman suffrage will begin their nineteenth annual convention in this city, and tomorrow Senator Blair^ will make an effort to have the Woman Suffrage amendment to tho Constitution discussed in the Senate. Miss Susan B. Anthony, who has been here for some weeks, is as grim anil hopeful and resolute as ever, wear ing her defeats of the last, forty years as cheerfully as other veterans wear plumes of victory. She dosen't think, at all well of press reporters, howev er. She says, where women are con cerned, at least, the reporters art* sure to seize upon some triviality and ring its changes to the exclusion of business. She mentioned that when- she spoke in Chicago last week, a dog that came with a newspaper reporter ran across tho stage and springing up laid his nose on her shoulder. “1 prophesied to tho audience then,” continued she, “that that dog would figure in the press reports more con spicuously than anything that was said or done, and so he did.” Miss Anthony does not change much as the years go by. The open ing of some hew avenue for the em ployment of women, or some new gleam of Hope from a State Legisla ture always comes opportunely to ols- sei the effects of years and labors that might otherwise be adding new writ*, kies to her brow.
