EDiTons Union-Recorder: Ex-Speaker'Carlisle thinks the Lodge Federal election bill one of the most objectionable measures ever before Congress, and considers that it would be practically impossible to hold a legal election under its complicated provisions. In speaking of the bill Mr Carlisle said “Suppose we do a lit tle figuring on it to start with. If this bill was a law there would be at each of the 90,000 eleotion precincts of the country, at. every Congressional anil Presidential eleotion, 7 Federal offl cials, making a total of OilO.OOO men, costing ten or fifteen millions of dol lars every two years. This estimate is bosed upon the present number of voting precincts but the complications of this bill would make the process of voting such a slow one that, the number of precincts would 'have to be largely increased, perhaps doub led in order to give the voters an op portunity to deposit their ballots.’’ The bill has not beta much better re ceived by the republicans tbau by the democrats.

BALERS IN DRY iGOODi/^U^ Milledgeville, Ga., * tf kuoffi* for8ch001 Sparta, Ga., March 24th, 1890. Mr. Sol. Barrett, Milledgeville, Ga. My Dear Sir:—1 am quite inter ested in the success of your County Fair. Believing that an early an nouncement of liberal terms by the railroads would possibly induce ex hibits and visitors to the fair, I have asked of the Georgia Road what aid they will be willing to render. I take pleasure iu handing you .copy of a let ter just received from Col. Dorsey in j*0 ply. It may be well to say, that I have secured these terms for all the county fairs along the line of the Georgia Road and nearly adjacent. If you will confer with the authorities of other county fairs and arrange your time for holding, under these terms for transportation. I think your lair will be greatly aided by inducing exhibits and visitors from your neighbors. Truly &c. W. J. Northkn. Augusta, Ga., March 20th, 1890. W. J. Northkn, Esq., Prest. Sparta, Ga. Dkar Sir:—Referring to your favor of 15th inst., wo have no objection to making the usual arrangements for county fairs, viz; passengers four oeats per iuile round-trip, exhibits to be charged full rate going and return- ed free on certificate of tlie secretary that they have not changed owner ship. Yours truly, E. R. Dorsey, G. F. & P. A. Dyspepsia’s victims Me numbered by thousauds. So are those who bare been restored to hsalth by Hoods Sarsaparilla. en to be botli from tli* fact that hi articles are practical and progressive, and that he is frequently quoted by Northern and Eastern agricultural papers. • “ ‘Will you be so kind as to give me his postolliee? 1 desire to know more about your state from such a mau as Mr. Northern’ “As this was a personal letter, you will, of course, not expect me to give the name of the writer to the public, but I will by this mail return the let ter to the Cultivator, and you can get the name of its author from Mr. George W. Harrison only for your own infor mation. “With such indorsement and such prospects of usefulness to the state, I feel quite encouraged to continue the line I have followed. “I note you further say, ‘How does the writer now stand on the grea; is sues of the day and time, to wit: Ab solute control of railroads and trans portations? An augmented currency, with flexible volume? Government supremacy over all vested rights of corporations?’ I answer, .‘upon the policy outlined by the National al liance, with this qualification: that 1 do not believe the government should ever sii far yield its authority to com- trol railroads as to make government ownership necessary. The state is Supreiflb, and it should control all in- terestsiin righteous justice to every citizen.’ “In order that I may answer more fully I am in favor of any policy that will adjust the burdens of business and of government so that they shall not bear upon any citizen more than upon another,, and I am absolutely opposed to any policy that gives one man, one class or one .corporation rights and privileges that in fringe un justly opori the rights and privileges of another man, another class or an other corporation. “With all deference to your opinion I do not understand that ‘economy, diversified farming, self-sustaining ag riculture, stock raising, improved methods in .preparation, cultivation and fertilization are now to be elim inated from the policy of the alliance, but they will probably be as helpless to farmers now as ‘twenty years ^“Asthe true theory in any great and good movement is not found in appealing to the passions, or preju dices, or cupidity or fear of the peo ple I shall stand upon the higher and better policy of general good, as well as our rights in the government, that all classes may hasten to aid m ad justing the galling yoke in their full est sympathy and co-operation. “Looking to the success, even now possible upon the farms and in busi ness. much of my time in recent years has been given iu building up the material resources of the state. t “In inv position before the people, I shall continue to make this just as much ‘an issue of this day’ as any you have nut. in your platform. “W. J. Northkn.” Youngest Man in Congress. The youngest man in the House is the Hod. Charles H. Turner, of New York city. He is the iceman elected to fill the vacancy in the Sixth JJis trict last fall. Visitors to the Capitol alwavs express a desire to have him pointed out to them. He occupies a front seat on the right of the Speaker, lie is a sturdy young gentleman, with brown hair and ft round, roseate face. He is studious, and watches the pro ceedings of the House with apparent interest. He has not only driven an ice wagon, washed cars on the eleva ted road, acted as an usher in a the atre, and been a book agent, but h® has been a student at Columbia Col lege, and officiated as a tutor. Mr. Turner is twenty-eight years old.— New York Sob. Letter From Eleanor Kirk. From Our Regular Correspondent. Brooklyn, Match 27th, 1890. 786 Lafayette Ave. A sensitive correspondent wishes to know if it is any sign of Imbecility for one to talk to one's self. She is in the habit of doing so, and is often inter rupted in the middle of a sentence—in other words caught at it—much to her disgust, and the amusement of her friends. She wonders if there is any way liy which stie can overcome so disagreeable a habit, any mental exercise which would help her not to iudulge in the “soliltary garulity.” Given a level head, and an average amount of will power, and a real de sire, i do not think there is any habit that cannot be‘successfully grappled with. But I should save my efforts for something really necessary. Talk ing to one’s self does not indicate a weak mind. Persons whothusponverse are rarely ever lonesome or moody. They are not apt to be inquisitive, for they answer their own questions; and instead of being weak iu the up per story they are usually brainy. It is related that a gentleman was once talking with. Horace Greely on this subject, and expressed himself very contemptuously about the people who thus commune with themselves. “Why uiou alive,” exclaimed the editor of the Tribune, “What are you talking aboatt It is only the smart folks who talkco themselves. Why, I talk to There are four contested election cases in which all the arguments have | been heard, and it is expected that the republicans of the committee on Elections will try to railroad them through this week, A favorable report has been mude to the House on the hill providing for the appointment of a commis siou to investigate the liquor truf fic. The announcement by the republi cans of the House Ways and Means committee several days ago that the tariff bill was complete has brought a great deal of trouble upon them in the shape of objections front influential members of their party to certain clauses of the bill. The result i* that, the bill has not yet been reported to t he : be House auil it may not be this week, and it would not be surprising if the pressure should prove great enough to compel radical changes in the bill before it is reported. It is probable that the democrats will prepare a sub stitute based on the Mills bill, but giving all raw materials used iu Mauu factring a place ou the ffee list. So general has been the complaint ngaiust the paper used in the postal cards that the Post-office department was compelled to get after the con tractor, and that Individual has prom ised to use a better quality of paper hereafter. The House has passed the annual pension appropriation bill. It was for$98,500,000, and every man who voted for it knows that itlanot enough and that there is bound to be a big de ficiency at the end of the next fiscal year but that does not stop the demago gues from getting up and howling for additional pension legislation. One of them in u'speech advocating a ser vice pension said, as coolly, as if he was speaking of buying an apple, that the total cost of sueh a bill would not exceed $648,000,000. When Mr. Carlisle’s statement was published reoently that the appro priations which the republicans of this Congress intended making would cause a deficiency in the Treasury at the end of next fiscal year, Mr. Can non chairman of the House committee on Appropriations, stated that it was a misrepresentation made for politi cal effect. Now as good a republican as Senator Hawley statefl on the floor of the Senate that the appro priations to be made for the next fis cal year will aggregate $628,000,000, against an estimated revenue of $450,- 000,000, making a deficit of $78,000,000. Certainly Mr. Hawley was not talking for political effect. Now it is discovered that the Secre tary of the Navy needs an assistant. Anything to increase the pay roll is the motto of the party in power. The Pan-American Congress wants subsidized steamships and cables from San Francisco to South America. Senator Vest made a good point when Senator Sjierman’s anti-trust bill was under consideration by stat ing that the easiest way to abolish trusts was to abolish the protective tariff which made them possible. The bill placing John C. Fremont on the retired list of the Army with the rank of Major General has passed the House. The committee engaged in investi gating tiie Ohio ballot box forgeries has notified Foraker and Grosvenor that they will be allowed until the the 81st, iu.-t., to submit argument in writing. The House will vote on the World's Fair bill tomorrow ufternoon. Its passage by the House is certain. Fond Mamma—Why, what have you in your apron? Little Daughter (breathlessly)—O, mamma!

They gave a matinee performance iu that city iu the after noon, and returned in time to appear promptly at the Madison Square in the evening. “Aunt Jack” mude a nice little pile for the Actor’s Fun 1, besides adding to her reputation as a ong arid fast ruuuer. There is some tiling about the atmosphere of the Madison Square Theatre which every one likes. The ventilation is perfect, and because of the double stuge, one does not have to wait an age between acts. Then “Aunt Jack” is us fresh, as painstaking, aud us fuscinutiug us ever. What will my readers think of the following letter, especially those who always believe me sane? This is tpe document, or at least a part of it: “About three years ago I read an article of yours about marriage, in which you said that you thought no woman should marry until she could uot only support herself, but her hus band. My lather seemed taken with these sentiments, but my mother aud I thought you were either insane or a very cranky crank. There was u young man paying attention to tue at the time, who received a salary of $20 per week. He wasn’t very strong physically, though a splendid fellow morally aud Intellectually. Im agine my surprise when a couple of days after reading your letter, 1 found that my father had sent for a Reming ton type-writer and had engaged a shorthand teacher for me. “1 have no objection to your marrying John,” he said, “when you are qualified to take care of him, but until then I shall not give iny consent.” Now my father is as set in his way as tiie “Iron Chancellor,” and it was give in, or elope. I.never could do the last, aud so I went at it in dead earnest. In tbree months I could not only write expertly on a type-yrriter, but I could polish off legal documents in a way that astonished the natives. In two years I could report a trial before a referee, and was getting $5 more a week than John. We are married now, and 1 still do my work, and ant as happy as I can be in the seourity which my type-writer and my short hand gives me.” Because 1 cannot reply personally to all communications, I wish to say to those who have asked for particu lars iu regard to lessons in English eomposltion, that I have just organ ized a Bureau of Instruction. Many of my readers whose early education has been neglected, wish to be shown how to write a creditable friendly or busi ness letter. Others aspire to write for I iublioation, and feel that they have deas, but cannot express them in creditable English. What they need is practical instruction, and this I am prepared to give. Miss H. M. Barbour, who arranged a European tour last summer for a small party of ladies, accompanying them as companion and guide, lias completed her programme for the summer of 1890. It will comprise Scotland, England, Hollund, Belgium, Germany, the Rhine, Austrian Tyrol, Northern Italy aud Italian Lakes, Switzerland and Paris. A period of one hundred days has been so well distributed amoug these countries as to enable the tourist to see their chief cities and points of interest leisurely aud well. Large parties are becoming less popular each yeur, and small ones will take their places. For ladies who oaimot be accompanied by mem bers of their own family, or by inti- tertainments, and returned to their residences a little mixed as regards the key hole, as some of our club men frequently do, the prejudice against women’s clubs would be more reason able. But our women go not astray in such ways, neither do they fisticuff each other in public places. There has yet to be one scandal in a wo man’s club. I am much atnused at the objection of Col. Thomas A. Knox, of the Lotos Club, to the behavior of Mr. AMen, who, feeling like “taking his ease” in what he considered his “inn, took the libertyof stretching him-' pelf out comfortably and using a foot rest.” Col. Knox declares that foot rests suggest hospitals, and tlmt foot rests must go. The difference between men and women in the matter of clubs is, that the former convene for busi ness purposes and the enjoyment of creature comforts. Women meet for intellectual pleasure, and so for them reclining chairs, footrests, cigars, and drinks are unnecessary. Elkanor Kirk. She Had Been to Church. I have a friend who doesn't go to church himself but sendB his wife regularly, says a writer in the Lewis ton Journal. I dined with him lost Sunday, and he took advantage of the circumstances to display her de votional tendencies before oom- Pa ‘^h. ed. “O, something somewhere in Gene rations; I’ve forgotten the chapter and verse. Mrs. Hughes sat right in front of me, wearing the worst look ing bonnet 1 ever saw on a woman's head.” “How did you like the new Minis ter?”. “O, lie was simply superb! Aud Kate Selwin was there iu a seal skin that never cost a cent less than $100. “Did lie say anytliingabout. the new mission fund?” “No; and the Jones girls were rig ged out in their old silks made over. You would have died laughing had you seen them.” “It seems to me you didn’l hear much of the sermon.” “The fact is, George, the new min ister has a lovely voice; it almost put me to sleep.” A long silence followed, during which George absently helped me to pickles and mustard, while his wife sal looking as demure as a saint at a circus. Suddenly she exclaim ed: “There! I knew I’d forget to te'd you something! The fringe ou Mrs. Brown’s cape is an inch deeper than mine and twice as heavy?” My friend changed the cooversatioo to the last new novel. iat was the text, Bust*’ he aak- The Costly Yaller Dog More reports come of the killing of sheep by dogs. In every Legislature convened since the war an attempt has been made in the interest of the sheep-raising In dustry to curtail the yaller dog. It has failed in every instance, despite the unanswerable arguments made in its favor. The members from the “one-gallus” districts won’t have it. They know that to vote in fuvor of such a measure would be to seal their political doom. Iu the regions they represent the right of the citizen to keep as many dogs as the nighboring sheep-raisers can feed, is not to be infringed. There the canine that can trail the'possum to his lair is more esteemed than the finest South down that ever took a prize at a fair. It is of no use to urge upon these members the truth that a restriction of the dog industry would result in, an improvement of the breed. Their constituents don’t want any better breed. They reason that fine dog, may be superior In some respects te the common sort, but not as foragers.
