STATE CONVENTION,
August Seventh Named as the
Date by the Committee.
Atlanta, Ga., May 21.—The State
Democratic Executive Committee met
here today and called the convention
to nominate Governor and State
House officers on August 7th.
A Beautiful Seaion.
The rain on Monday evening of last
week was a blessing truly. The far
mer and the gardener was made glad.
The crops are booming, and as Bill
Arp says “all is serene.”
Washington Letter.
From Our RegularCorrospondent.
Washington, D. C., May 19, 1890.
Editors Union-Recorder:
The protection ring is struggling
hard for life. As long as its demands
were confined within the limits of hu
manity tile producer cheerfully bore
the burdens it imposed. But, like all
oppressors, it grew more and more ex
acting, audacious and blind until the
patient jade tired out, and is now in a
state of rebellion.
For many years the farmer lias starv
ed himself to fatten the protectionist,
assured that there would come a
butcheringtimewhen this outlay would
return, lie has followed the ignis-
fatuus of specious arguments and al
luring promises that this burden
would be removed. He has been hov
ered over and fondled by pick-pock
ets, who distracted him with prohibi
tion or whiskey while he was robbed.
But, while the population doubled in
numbers, farms diminished one half
in value. While the farmer pays
double for all the necessaries for farm
use and consumption his o wu products
are reduced in price, and his eyes are
opening. The protectionists, too, see
that their ship is sinking, and the in
stinctive rats have already commenc
ed to leave.
They had a bad fright the other
day when Mr. Butterwortti deserted.
They are fast losing iu the North and
West, but to gain a temporary respite
are about to exercise their bruin and
money from tlieir present vantage
ground of power, unfettered by scru
ples and bold with the success of long-
practiced deception. Protection, of
course is the soul and prop of the re
publican party, and the means sought
to perpetuate it is a federal election.
It is not concealed that it is a purely
partisan measure but the following by
Speaker Reed at a recent banquet ex
plains the matter concisely. “The
oulv wise course is to take into fed
erai hands the federal elections. Let
us cut loose from the state elections
do our own registration, our own
counting, our own certification. Then
the nation will be satisfied. The
southern states can bytherosel ves grap
pie with the problem whether a state
can permanently enthrone injustice.
Freed from all right of interference
from the North, within their own bor
ders and their own state rights they
will have the power for which they
have longed, the power to work out
their own peculiar problem them
selves.”
So the G. O. P. cares nothing for the
negroes whose wrongs it has been
heralding so loud. They may be bul
lied and cheated and murdered as it
has been claimed they have been
treated heretofore, ut State elections
just so that their votes are recorded
for protection, high tariff and the re
publican party in the federal contests
For greater security Senators fiber
man, Hoar and otheis advocate mak
h g the tenure of election officers for
life. Others wish to charge the judici
ary witli this duty; but so far no one
lias been able to devise any practical
bill that did’nt run counter to the con
stitution. This additional election
will involve an extra expense of ten
or fifteen millions, but the tariff men
and salaried officials will regard that
as a small sum woll appropriated if it
answers their purpose.
In the House the tariff debate last
week was no better than a squabble,
the amendments being regularly vot
ed down as they were offered. In the
Senate Mr. Teller denounced the Win-
dom silver bill in vigorous terms and
promised that with free coinage wheat
would go up to $1.10. He didn’t say
that it would go to that price In Liv
erpool, where the world’s price* is
made, but virtually confessed that in
flation was the object. This bill will
be voted on Wednesday and will pass
the House all right. But wait until
it gets to tiie Senate. Senator Allison
is waitiug for it. The west will show
its teeth. He says that lie is profound
ly convinced that the conditions have
changed, and will handle the McKin
ley bill so that the author won’t know
it, when he sees it.
At an evening session of the House
last Wednesday 139 private pension
bills were passed. As these claims
are invariably first rejected for want
of satisfactory proof, after careful ex
amination by the Pension Bureau it
would seem that the House had devel
oped a remarkable capacity for busi
ness, to dispose of so great an amount
of it in so short a time.
At a joint meeting of the Senate and
House committees on immigration,
H. J. Delley made uti argument in fa
vor of the bill to restrict immigration
reported to the committee. He is
secretary of the American Defense
Association which lias a membership
of 100,000 who approve the bill.
Representative O’Neil, of Mass., in
troduced a bill in the House, amenda
tory of the contract Labor law, in
creasing the penalty for the violation
of the law to $500 fine and six months
imprisonment, in addition to the $1000
forfeit, now imposed.
The Government has decided to
send back at its own expense 21 Chin
amen whiob were smuggled through
Mexico. It was feared that if they
were sent back to Mexico they would

Maoon Telegraph. J—The state seuato-
rial canvass in the first district will
open before long. Hon. Fleming G.
duBignou could, of course, return to
that forum if he desired without op

much regret that it was thought he
would be induced to return to the

DUBTGNON IS OUT.
Forced by business exigencies to d*-

ernorship, an office within his easy
reach had he sought it, conjecture
lias be#n busy with his return to the

men hinge their candidacy for the
presidency of that body upon his de
termination on tills point.
Mr. duBignou was asked if lie
would go back to the Senate.
“I will not,” he answered. “You
may announce definitely that I am
not a candidate for any office. I will
not, under any circumstances, return
to the Senate.'’
who’ll preside over the senate.
This announcement will start an

Conference.
DR. HAYGOOD AN1)J DR. KITZGKRALD.
St. Louis, May 19.—The session of
the Methodist Episcopal churoh to
day was devoted to the election of two
bishops.
After some preliminary business,
Bishop Grauberry, presiding officer,
called the special order and requested
the delegates to enter upon the elec
tion prayerfully and with a due sense
of the importance of the occasion.
Dr. Rogers, of Baltimore, prayed that
all unholy ambitions would be for
gotten; that there would he no strife,
and that the choice of bishops would
be made for the good of the church.
The following tellers were appoint
ed: R. M. Bowers, Texas; A. C. Mil
ler, north Alabama; R. B. Smith,
S. C., B. W. Beatro-e Virginia; B.
T. Dixon, North Carolina; and J O.
Brunch, south Georgia.
There were no regular or formal
nominations, but each delegate voted
for whom he pleased.

’Twns a summer ago, when he left me here,
A summer of smiles with never a tear.
Till I saht to him, with a sob, my dear;
Good by, my lover, good^by !
For I love him, oh, as the stars love night !
And my cheeks for him flushed rod und
white , , „ . .
When first ho called me his heart’s delight:
Good-by my lover, good-by !
The touch or his hand was a thing divine
As he sat with me In the soft moonshine,
And drank of ray love as men drink wine:
Good-by, my lover. Good-by!
And never a’nlght.as 1 knelt In prayer,
In a gowu as white as our own souls were,
But In fancy heoatne and kissed taut ho re;
Good-by, my lover, good-by!
But now. O God! what an empty place
My whole heart is! Of the old embrace.
And the kla* I loved there lives no trace;
Good-by, my lover, Good-by!
He sailed not over the stormy sea;
And he went not down In the wavee, not he,
But, oh, he Is lost.for he married me:
Good-by, my lover. Good-by!

SKETCHES OK T1IK NEW BISHOPS.
Concerning the successful candi
dates, the following brief statement is
furnished by a prominent member
of the conference: It will be remem
bered that Dr. Haygood was elected
to this office in 1882, but declined, be
cause he could not then lay down the
educational work he had in hand, be
ing at the time president of Emory
college, Oxford, Ga. He has been a
conspicious advocate of the education
and the evangelization of colored peo
ple of the south, being author of a
aook called “Our Brother in Black,”
and since 1883 agent of the John F.
Slater fund for the education of the
freeduien of the south. He received
to-day the largest majority ever
?lven in the election of a Methodist
bishop. He is the seoond man in the
history of American Methodism who
has been elected to the bishopric
twice, Joshua Soule being first.
Dr. Haygood is not a member of
the general conference, and his eleva
tion to the episcopacy, under all the
circumstances by one of the most re
presentative religions bodies in the
United States, is very significant.
Dr. Fitzgerald has for twelve years
past been editor of the Nashville
Christian Advocate, the organ of his
chnroh. He has seen service in the
west, having been for years a leader
among the Methodists of California
He is a native of North Carolina, of
Irish extraction, and is a genial gen
tletnan and popular writer.
Choose your sweetheart carefully,
wisolv aud tenderly, my dear girls,
says a writer in the Ladies’ Home
Journal. Remember he is to be more
than even this to you some day—he
is to be your husband, for surely you
are not one of the girls who have a
sweetheart here and there, and gives
a little love to this one and a little to
that one, until when the real one ap
pears the perfect bloom is gone from
the peach and she cannot give him
what lie offers her. You girls know
ry quickly when a man means more
than ordinary friendship for you.
You haye nil instinct that toils you
this big, good looking fellow has come
sweetheartiug, and that is the time
for vou to study him a little bit.
Think out if his temper and yours are
certain to agree well together; think
out if bis tastes and yours are alike,
or if they can grow to be so, for you
know, little women, if you want to be
happy in your married life, you must,
learn the great and wonderful virtue
of adaptability. You must choose
your sweetheart as you do a new
gown, so that he will wear well; but
you want him for longer than a win
ter; he must last through the long
summer days and through the winter
ones, and before you put your hand
in his and tell him that you are wil
ling to fight out the battle of life to
gether, think it all over well, and re
member that you are choosliig your
sweetheart not for a day or a year,
but for all through life and, please
God, if you love each other enougli,
for after death.

An Absent Minded Physician
Leaves it Under a Car Beat,
Covington, Ga., May 20th.- A
striking instance of absent-mindedness
occurred on the Covington accommo
dation train coming out from Atlan
ta last Saturday evening. Dr. Farr
of Deoatur got aboard at Atlanta with
a fish, a box of oigars and a hand
HAtohel, all of which he deposited un
der the seat in front of him. On ar
riving at Deoatur he picked up l.is
fish and cigars, but forgot the satchel.
Hating arrived at home and eaten his
supper, he walked out to a seat on his
veranda to enjoy a smoke. Then lie
thought of ills satchel left on the
train. It was unlocked, aud contaiiir-
ed $50,000 in bonds and $5,000 in cur -
reney. It was on its way to Coving
ton without a claimant or protector.
The doctor hastened to the telegraph'
office, and wired the agent here tv
search the train for it on its arrival,
which wusdoue, und the satchel found
just where it was left witli all its
wealth undisturbed. Parties who were
about the Deoatur office while Dr.
Farr was waiting a reply from the
agent here say that great beads of
perspirution came out on his face.
The satchel, witli its contents un
disturbed, was returned by the next
train.
