The treasury is said to be depleted This cannot be considered very start png news as long as Congress contin aes its procrastinating game.—Angus ta News. It must have been pretty tough on Lord Beresford to be compelled to take a thrashing in a Georgia convict camp. —Augusta Herald. Not as tough as the infamous scoundrel deserves.

We have received from the Ce dartown Company a copy of a let ter it has sent to Senator Gordon' asking him to vote against free iron ore and the reduction of tho duty on pig iron to 22 per ceut. nd valorem, as provided for in the Wilson bill. The Cedartowu Company has it’s headquarters in Philadelphia, but owns and operates iron mines and furnaces in Polk county, Georgia.’ The letter speaks of the present low price of iron and predicts die aster for southern iron interests if the Wilson bill passes m its present ehi pe. It does nor, however, refur to the fact that the prices of foreign and domestic iron are so near to gether that the locality of the southern iron mines and furnaces gives them substantial protection. It has been stated often on good authority that pig iron could be made in the South almost, if not quite, as cheaply as it can be made in Eng land. It is conceded that the South has great advantages over any otbei section of the country for the manu - facture of pig iron, and we cannot understand how free ore and a re duced tariff on pig iron can hurt the southern iron industsy. The letter of the Cedartown Co., asks Gen. Gordon to run counter to the pledge of the Democratic plat form that the tariff shall be reformed “in the direction of free raw mater i ds” and to oppose a part of a Demo cratic tariff bill which has been fram ed exactly on that line. We have no idea that he will do any such thing. —Atlanta Journal. CRACKERDOM nuggets. If the south will manufacture its coilon instead of sending it East and to Liverpool such an era of prosperity would be ushered in as can hardly bo conceived of ;and the time will comewhen the South will do it. It is already moving in that direction —Marietta Journal. An exchange tells us of a man ! who claimed lhat he was too poor to take his county paper, but all the same he read iu a down ea«i , paper telling how to prevent horses from slobbering,and he sent a dol lar and a half for the recipe.

It remains for the lowa republi cans to turn the United States Senatorial stable into a harness house They have nominated and propose to hang ex-Governor John 11. Gear in its stalls.

The Atlan j ta Journal and Constitution are both supporting General Evans for Gevcrn or. It takes “religion’’ to make these two papers take snuff and sneeze together.—Marietta Jour nal. Politics make strange bedfellows. The Atlanta Constitution and the At lanta Journal are t igether in their choice for governor There must be. son’ething in it for Atlanta that is not yet in sight.—Toccoa News.

Perhaps a d< z-ni times since 1870, so called close observers of political events in Furope have been sure that a great «ar was about io begin. They have been dis appointed sb often th.it th ir a igu ries have come to be laughed st b. 5 newspaper readers. Just now, hor - ever, their prophecies of evil are listened to with more respect than usual. There is no doubt that tho situat i ai is not at al I what it sh uld be. and there is a possibility that will:in a few months the men who control the destinies of European conn’ries will reach the conclu s’on that war is to be desired rath er t han avoided, A Gerdban si a tecman was quoted in our dispatches a few days ago as saying “Italy has again become a sei ions menauce to the peace of Europe.’’ This is true not because of Italy’s strength, but because of her weakness. The signs multiply that the people of that country have reached the point in discon tent where they will refuse to bear any longer the burdens imposed upon them by their overgrown military system. The government lias found it necessary to hurry 10,090 soldiers to Sicily, in addi tion to the large army already quartered there, in order to hold down the rioting, half starved peasantry. It has ordered the>rmy to be increased to its full peace force, and artillery and engineer •fifiicers have received orders to put the fortresses in upper Italy, on the gulf of Genoa ajid the gulf of Vienna on a war fooling. This is done in the face of an enormous financial deficit already existing and a great falling off in the reve nues. The danger of the situation lies in the fact that the Italian govern ment and its allies may be forced to the conclusion that i's military system is about to break down, and therefore the safest course for the triple alliance to purt-u-, is to fight at once, rather than wait for war to be forced upon it when it is weaker than i ow, and France and Russia stronger What this dan ger amounts to, not one of the “careful observers” so frequently quoted in the cablo dispatches knows, but it exists, and there are many who believe that the great war for supremacy in Europe w ill be fought in the year 1894. —Ma- con Telegraph.
