We have received a copy of the
“Chameleon”; a new paper published
in Columbus by the young ladies at
college. It is a very neat sheet, and
the reading matter choice and inter
esting. Among its praiseworthy ed
itors,three young Indies, we notice
the name of" Miss Florence Herty of
this city. Most of the pieces ure orig
inal, and tiie young ladies deserve
much credit for so excellent n paper,
and should by all means receive praise
and encouragement in their venture.
Wo welcome “The Chameleon” and
wish it a bright and prosperous career.
Bill Arp in his letters to the Consti
tution tells more truth than any man
in Georgia, and lie tells it in an ac
ceptable manner. The plain, unvar
nished truth is often unpalatable.
The Major knows this, and when ho
has a hard thing to say, he turns in a
nice little compliment, and thus
makes everything lovely. He thinks
a bitter dose of medicine should be
disguised; that quinine, for instance,
administered in capsules produces the
same good results as if given in the
bitter powder. We commend the ex
ample of Maj. Arp to those whose
plain truths are not always as accept
able as they should he.

The citizens of New York of South

into a “Southern Society,” very much

They lmd their first annual dinner at
the Hotel Brunswick in New York
last Tuesday night and among the
many notable invited guests from
both the North and the South was
General Tlios. Ewing of Ohio, a dis
tinguished Union officer in the late
civil war. We make the following
quotation of a portion of his interest
ing remarks on that occasion:
“Ohio and her sister States of the
Northwest are proud and happy to
be reminded of their kinship with
Virginia." He then traoed the rela

Whenever Virginia sits at the head
of the table, Ohio claims a seat as one
of the family. I believe that in spite
of infinite distresses of war, the lib
eration of slaves, the temporary over
throw of tiie industrial system of the
South and the needless fosses and hu
miliations of reconstruction, there is
more respect and fraternal feeling be
tween tiie South and North to-day
than ever before since the slavery
agitation began sixty-seven years ago.
Gentlemen, the Nortli craves a loving
and lasting peace with the South.
It asks no humiliating concessions.
It recognizes as tiie chief cause of our
warn constitutional question of the
right of secession, which question
until settled by the war had neither
a right or wrong side to it. Our fore
fathers simply evaded it in framing
the constitution, believing if it were
settled either way the union of all
thirteen States could not be accom
plished. So they’ loft the question of
the right of secession in the ‘lap of
the gods,’ committed it to the chances
of the future, and then war came on
and settled it forever. Now, the
Northern people are not so mean,
fanatical or foolish as to complain of
the South that it believed then and
believes now that it had the right
side of that question of constitutional
construction. How could wo respect
tiie South if it were to suy now that
it was not sincere then, or if it were
to pretend that the cuff's and blows
of war had changed its conviction as
to the true interpretation of the con
stitution as originally adopted. Sure
ly, witli tiie authority of Jefferson
and Madison in favor of the South
ern, and Washington and Hamilton
In favor of tiie Northern, each side
can admit at least the sincerity of
tiie other. The North, too, recog
nizes the fact that all provoking
causes of war grew out of slavery, for
the establishment of which the North
and South and England were all re
sponsible, if, indeed, such tremendous
facts as the establishment and over
throw of slavery here are not part of
tiie plans of the Almighty, as to
li we are foolish to parcel < t tli
The National Solons.
The Fishery question was debated
in tiie House on tiie 23rd. Mr. Bel
mont opened the debate. He said
that under the treaty of peace the
United States had certain rights in
tiie deep sea fisheries which no other
nation except Great Britain possessed.
The question involved was a national
1, | one and must be settled on a broader
basis than that of the interest of one
section or one industry. Mr. Clemens,
of Georgia said the trouble with Can
ada had been called “a mere skirmish
about fish,” but it lmd assumed
larger proportions than a skirmish.
The American flag had heeu hauled
down and one hundred and fifty
American vessels had been searched
or warned off, and the honor of tiie
Government was involved. He ob
jected to the Senate hill, in that, it
only claimed the same rights for the
United States that was accorded to
the most favored nations. The Sen
ate bill authorized the President to
stop the coming of locomotives and
cars Into the United States. The gov
ernment ought not to stop with the
mere prohibition of the Incoming
of Canada fish. Mr. Daniel, of Vir
ginia sustained the same views. At
the close of the debate the House
passed, with but one dissenting vote,
the JFisheries retaliatory bill. Upon
substituting it for the Senate bill, the
vote was 138 yeas, 123 nays. After
somediscussiononthe mail subsidy hill
which was opposed by Messrs. Ham
mond and Blount, of Georgia, tiie
vote was postponed to the next day.
Tiie Transfer of the Signal Service
Bureau to tiie Agricultural Depart
ment, was passed. Tiie Secretary of
Agriculture is to receive the same sal
ary as the other Secretaries.
On the 24tli, the House passed the
Senate bill making Tampa, Florida, a
port of entry. The right of Steele of
Indiana, whose seat was contested by
Kidd, was confirmed. Mr. Blount
called up the report of the committee
of the whole on the Senate amend
ments to the Post-office appropriation
bill. It refused to concur in the -one
to appropriate $.'500,000 for carrying
foreign mails on American vessels to
Central and South America—yeas 130,
nays 157. A conference was ordered.
Next came the question whether
the house would sustain the Presi
dent’s veto Zol the Dependent Pen
sion bill. A long and excited debate
occurred. Tiie vote stood for sustain
ing it 175; against it 125. Not a con
stitutional two-thirds vote, and the
Theatrical.- Monte Criato.
On Thursday night last, the Aiden
Benedict Company played the popu
lar drama of Monte Cristo, at our
theatre to a fairly full house. The
great novel of Dumas has made such un
impression on tiie present, generation
by its marvellous plot and its excit
ing incidents that its very name is
calculated to bring out the people to
s. j e it performed. It is a voluminous
work and it is impossible to embody
in a drama of reasonable length, any
thing like all of the complicated plot
and sensational situations that are
found in the original. Therefore
some of those who are familiar with
the novel may have been somewhat
disappointed ’ in the drama found
ed on it. It is a pleasure to say
that Aiden Benedict, as Monte Cristo,
sustained the high reputation he lias
won in that character and tiie hearty
applause winch was repeated again
and again brought him before tiie
curtains to receive tlie cordial greet
ings of tiie people on liis success. Miss
Ackerman, as Mercedes, also won the
hearty good will of the ) eople and
appeared with Benedict before tiie
curtain in compliance with the thun
derous call of the audience. The en
tering of tiie player into his part so as
seemingly to feel for the time that lie
was really the being lie represented,
was a characteristic of Benedict’s act
ing which did not escape the obser
vation of competent critics among
the audience, and it is one of the
traits of a good actor which stumps
him as a genuine devotee and not a
counterfeit pretender, in his chosen
profession. There were others who
deserved and received the hearty
commendation of the large and weil
pleased audience, hut we have not
space to say more than that the minor
parts were all well sustained by those
who filled them.
We must add however, (as we have
indicated heretofore,) that the care
with which Messrs. Walter Paine A
Co., have excluded from the Opera
House all that is coarse and objec
tionable to refined and well bred peo
ple in the past, should receive recog
nition by our best people, who are
fond of theatrical amusements, and
induce them in the future to attend
any advertised entertainment there,
without fear of meeting with any
thing that would prove objectionable.
responsibility.
The Texas Sufferers.
Tiie President vetoed the bill which
passed both Houses appropriating
$10,000 to purchase seed for tiie Texas
sufferers. The Courier Journal ap
proves tiie President’s action but
thinks the people everywhere should
unite in affording help to our suf
fering brothers in Texas. It thinks
Kentucky alone will send them us
much as ten thousand dollars. That
1 taper lias begun the good work in
jouisville and lias raised $1(50. It
has generously subscribed $100, and
others $50 each and smaller sums.
“Drouth,” it says, “has smitten with
famine a district embracing 80 coun
tries. Rain has come at last and more is
expected, hut in order to plant for
the next harvest, seed is needed, and
until the harvest, food.” Surely our
people whose means will permit it,
will not withhold reasonable aid from
our suffering brothers in that stricken
section. Will not benevolent associa
tions in tiie South follow tiie example
of the Courier-Journal and hasten to
make collections for tiie kind and
worthy object without delay. Many
of tiie people are now suffering for
want of food. Tile mere statement
of their deplorable condition, is
enough, we trust, to arouse the kind
and charitable to immediate action.
Let the good precept, that man is
made happier by bestowing than re
ceiving kindness, excite thousands to
immediate action in this case of our
suffering brothers, inn large portion
of Texas. What is done for relief
should be done quickly. From all ac
counts, in many instances, even life
is at stake.
The Eatonton cyclone of Saturday
furnishes another evidence of tiie ten
dency of these terrible and destruc
tive tornadoes to follow in the paths
of former visitations of the same kind.
It will be seen by the account which
we print in another column, that Col.
Frank Adams of Eatonton, and other
sufferers, had wisely protected them
selves by taking out cyclone policies
on their property. Wo incline to
think that others who live near the
pathway of former cyclones would
do well to follow thier example. The
premium we believe is very small on
such policies.
In view of the great loss of proper
ty by cyclones in recent years would
it not he well for the Fire Insurance
Companies to extend their protection
against losses of this kind as well as
against those by fire alone? A small
addition only to tiie premiums we
think, would enable them to take this
additional risk and at tiie same time
make money by it.

The Plundering Tariff.
We will assault no man’s honesty
in what we may say about tiie tariff,
but we will say that the people, who
are most interested in it, have evi
dently given it no consideration.
They toil in the winter's cold, and
sweat under the sun's hot rays,
in vain hope, year after year, of
fering up their fervent prayers tc
heaven, for propitious seasons, and
imploring God’s almighty aid to let
His blessings descend upon them and
relieve them from their distracting
troubles. But there is truth in the
declaration, that heaven will help
those who help themselves. Those
who would help themselves, ought to
know how to do it, and how will they
ever know wbat steps to take if they
remain in ignorance of the source of
their troubles. There is an evil for
which there can be no remedy, un
less the people can know it, and ap
ply the mighty remedy which is in
their hands, in Europe there are
four free trade countries, England,
Belgium, Holland and Switzerland,
having from 325 to about 420 inhabi
tants to the square mile, who have
but few paupers and are in a high
state of prosperity and happiness.
They have no beggars or tramps and
strikes are almost unknown, since
they adopted the doctrine of free
trade. In the others who have heavy
protective tariffs, laborers work for
less than 40 cents to one dollar per
day, who are constantly engaged in
strikes, and live in ragged poverty
from year to year. You are constant
ly hearing of booms all over our coun
try, hut they are theories of the rich,
who have money, ahd can build fine
houses to live in, costing from $3,000
to $10,000 while you, our farmers, as
a general rule, lack the money to buy
a horse or mule, and are growing
poorer from year to year. We ask
you again, to look into this tariff
question, which imposes a per capita
tax upon every one of you, from year
to year for the benefit of the.manu
facturers. You pay your state taxes
every year, and are taxed 8 dollars
every year for yourselves, your wives
and each of your children. If there
are 10 of you in number, your tax is
about 8 dollars for each one, upon an
average, in addition to your State
taxes. In many thousands of cases,
this national tax renders it impossible
for farmers to support their wives
and children in any degree of com
fort.”

Money and Collateral.
The Augusta Chronicle publishes the fol
lowing letter us throwing some light upon
an important subject:
Milledgeville, Ga„ Feb. 19tb, 1887.
Editor Chronicle: You mayor may not
remember an article which I presumed to
offer you for publication gome months
since on the subject of “What Ails South
ern Agriculture,” in which I advanced the
idea that the business had been abandoned
by brains and turned over to ignorance. 1
remember distinctly the subject oi my
letter.
You thought I hnd ra'staben the effects
for the cause and expressed the opinion
that what the farmer needed was oh'-ap
money. I was very much amused to sec
how thoroughly we agreed as to the esti
mate we hail each placed on the others opin
ion. You thought I had placed the "cart
before the horse” and I gave you credit
for the same orderly arrangement. In your
issue of yesterday I 6ee you publish a.
clipping from an exchange “that the need
of the farmer Is not so much banking capi
tal as it is collateral to offei for it.”
Please accept my congratulations.
Most respectfully, B. T. U.
The Chronicle goes on, unconscious
ly, to make a strong argument, in fa
vor of a better system of collection
laws in the following comment:
The reference we made to tiie dif
ference between cheap money, and
security for it, was based on a “little
anecdote.” A farmer, hearing that
money was cheap in the city, came
to see’about it. He entered a hank,
called for the cashier and said: “Mr.
Cashier, is it true that money is abun
dant and cheap?” Tiie cashier an
swered in the affirmative. “Can I get
some?” queried the countryman.
“Certainly” replied the moneyed man.
“Well, just lend me a hundred dollars
for six months.” The Cashier said:
“You can have the money—we have
plenty of it—but it is necessary for
us to have collateral.” The farmer
winced and responded : “Collateral!
Wliat the deuce is that?” The matter
was explained. Ttien the planter of
tiie soil, illuminated on the subject of
political economy, with a broad grin,
rejoined: “Ah, I see how it is, Mr.
Cashier. Money is plentiful and not
high, hut it is this blanked collateral
that is scarce and hard to get!”
The farmer is ailing for collateral. ;

A Fearful Earthquake.
Italy and France were visited on
Wednesday with very violent earth
quake shocks. Scores of people were
killed and numbers of houses wreck
ed. A carnival was in progress in the
city of Nice, Italy, and a great many
strangers were in tire city. The
railway stations were overrun with
people who were trying to flee the
country. Among t Itese people were a
great many Americans and English
tourists. The people in the different
places were terror-stricken, aud were
afraid to go back into their houses.
The panic was so great that sleep
was little thought of. At Genoa the
clanging of the church bells and the
barking of dogs did much toward
terrifying the people. There was a
blue, cloudless sky and warm sun.—
Tire officials of the different cities
are doing what they can toward calm
ing the people. Where the shock
was severest It lasted a minute and
where lightest from twelve to fifteen
seconds. At Genoa the ducal palace
was severely injured and fully one-
third of the city destroyed. At Rome
the shock was slight. The people in
the districts most severely shaken
are dreading other shocks. The de
vastation Is much greater than that
caused by the Charleston earthquake
last year, because in that country
thore are more houses built of ma
sonry. ___

Because our interest in it is far
greater than in State taxation. If
the facts as we have stated them be
but half true, we should seriously set
to work upon a remedy. Not only
are they half true, whole true, but
the half lias not been told. As Wash
ington is the city of magnificent dis
tances so the Government at Wash
ington is one of magnificent prodigal
ity. The people may economize and
struggle, but the government is |ier
fectly free and easy in the use of mon
ey. It. raises $400,000,000 for itself,
while all the State governments com
bined (in 1880) raised about $52,000,
000. So rich is it, indeed, that even
now, A gigantic plan is on foot, for
the general government to take the
State governments immediately under
its wing, and pay the way of them all.
Do not smile, however, even that
would be a much less “incident” than
“incidental protection” already is.
For incidental protection, we already
pay more than for Government; the
estimate Js‘$556,000,000; i e, more than
ten times the cost of all the State and
Territorial governments combined; the
cost of the latter being $52,000,000-
ten times that oost would be but $520,-
000,000, leaving about $3(5,000,000 to
spare. Another huge item is to be
regarded—the waste by tire diversions
of labor into wrong channels; this too,
is immense—almost beyond computa
tion. Does it not behoove us to un
derstand this subject with all its prin
ciples and its operations. Of what we
in Georgia would be able, by hard
work and close savings, to lay up for
ourselves and our children, much of it
goes this way.
The savings after paying these enor
mous taxes, and yet more enormous
incidentals, are less than theslmre gov
ernment takes from us—far less than
tlie share of ‘protected industries’—
government pets! This is seriously
true. The average savings of Georgia,
from the hard earnings of her people,
for ten years between 1870 and 1880,
were less than $(5,000,000 per annum.
The average federal tax on a million
and a half of people, was $12,000,000,
i e, twice the amount of her savings.
The average paid toward protection
would he $10,500, 000—over two and a
half times her savings. If Georgia
paid but half the average, even then
the burdens of taxation, diieet and
incidental, would be as follows:
Average tax $12,000,000.
Protection 10,500,000.
$28,500,000.
Half this 14,260,000.
Tim would be nearly 2J times tiie
average savings of the people, spent
witli lordly prodigality and profusion,
by their servant, the government,
for itself and its favorites. Probably
her actual share was about $20,000,-
000.—This is over 7 per cent, of the
returned value of all the property of
the State for the year 1882. It is
higher by far tlmn the highest city
taxes!
In our State Government we pinch
and skin down to the very hone. We
pay poor salaries to our judges and
to our officers generally. We work
our judges to death. Our whole peo
ple are hard worked to pay unneces
sary taxes for the Federal govern
ment and its proteges, ourselves not
among the number. The very inter
est we take in State taxation convicts
us of folly in neglecting our greater
interest in federal.
We are penny wise and pound fool
ish to pay such close attention to tiie
State penny and neglect tiie federal
pound. We are careful of dimes—
negligent of dollars. Endless advan
tage aud enlargement would be found
in our State and county affairs, could
we save half the excess of federal tax
ation, and apply half of this to State
purposes.
The moral results in corruption,
premiums ou fraud—vices in high
places—are worse than the economi
cal. But these ure had enough. We
do no duy's work, no week’s work so
important—no month's labor in tiie
year will count as that which reduces
this tax to its level, which transfers
these millions and hundreds of mil
lions from government and parasites
into savings and just reward of indus
try.
A possible saving of a billion of dol
lars per annum in the public wealth
is probably not an over estimate, by
a just system federal taxation. The
possible saving to Georgia would prob
ably he not far from $20,000,000.—
Suppose it be $10,500,000, or $5,000,000,
it were very useful to us. Even that
would be several times our State tax
saved.
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present, flatulency
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. &
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting warm, is a common attendant.

acts directly upon the part affected
