CONSCIOUS MENDACITY. The Chicago inter Ocean says: Congressman Hepburn of lowa, , made a good point in the pension debate yesterday. He made the assertion that the late Cenfeder ate States contributed not one dol ’ar toward the payment of pensions ( of Union veterans, and followed . this by the statement that of the r $150,000y000 internal revenue tax , es the South paid less than $9,000- 000; of the $177,000,000 custom receipts only $4,000 000, and of the i miscellaneous receipts less than > $2,000 COO. In return tho South is I paid $9,000,000 in sugar bounty, $5,000,000 in pensions, and $5,000, 1 000 in postal receipts. This was a centre shot and there was no reply. This argument is based on the assumption that the taxes i re paid by the people of the vicinity where they are collected . If it is justi lied by the facts, then only two or three states contribute any consid erable amount to the expenses of the government. Nine-tenths of the revenue from customs is paid at New York and the bulk of the internal revenue at a few cities—Peoria, Louisville. Cinoinnatti, etc. If it be true, therefore, that the Southern Stalos pay 7 none of the pensions, it is also true that most of the Northern States pay none. According to this rule, nearly the whole weight of oust mis taxation rests upon New Yoru, an 1 the weight of other tax ation is concentrated upon three or *cur states. The New England s’ates escape nearly scot free. The trans-Miss issippi states contribute little or nothing. Pennsylvania's burden is very light, and Indiana pays next to nothing. Mr. Hepburn knew perfectly well when he made his speech that he was advancing a dishonest ar gument. The wonder is that he was willing to make it, knowing the discredit it would bring to him in tho estimation of all intel ligent, fair minded people. He knew that tke taxes to which he > referred are taxes upon consump tion, and that his statementscould not be true unless it also be true that the people of the North buy all the goods imported, drink all the brandy and whiskey distilkd 1 in the country, chew all the tobac co manufactured and smoke all the cigars made. Possibly their contribution is not as large, per head, as that of the Northern peo ple, but as it goes North, along with the larger part collected in that region, it impoverishes them more to pay it.—Macon Tele graph. THEHUSTLER OF ROME, FRIDAY MARCH 9. 1894. A cotton vest made from a piece c f cloth woven 114 yaars ago is owned by Jehu B. Perry of Dawson Ga The cotton was woven by Mr. Pc - ry f s| great-grandmothe r , This is the most remarkable “pull-down year-| vest" through the generations of which there is aay record. g ■ GJi.UJMI POLITICAL RETORTS. Atkinson continues to “consent ’j to speak in public. Will he be sol amiable when General Evans takes hisveat in the gubernatorial obair?—Augusta News General Evans will never take Mr. Atkinson’s seat in tho Guber natorial chair, such would be against the wishes of the people I and the interests of the state. Now is the time for the young states man to win. The lady editor of the Milledge ville Chronicle is touching up Hon. Wm. 11. Fleming .—Augusta Herald. And the lady editor of the Mil legeville Chroniclcle is, as she usually is, right. She will not hit big mouthed Bill Fleming any too hard. The Dalton Arguscredits an ar ticle to the Marietta Journal, about General Evans, that we are net the author of.—Marietta Journal. Another ca*e of the recklessness of the Evanescent boomer tribe. They claim the earth and—will i get the “left” side of it as usual. STATE POLITICS i The sentiment for Bacon for United States aen*trr is daily growing in Georgia—Macon News It is predicted that Judge Charles L. Bartlett, of Macon, will resign his position on the bench inside of the next sixty days and become an active candidate fer congress in this district. Hon. Carter Tate baa mude tn ! < fficient member of Congress and ’ deserves to succeed himself. He is a true democrat and has been true to the people in every vote. — 1 Marietta Jourtia 1 . NATIONAL POLITICS The opponents of the income 1 tax regard it as a terribis stride > sf the cemmunistio sentiment, To Jone's farm to educate • hildrea is also communism.— Bullock Times. The Democrats in congress are ‘ doing something” now, and they are doing it well. The passage of the Wilsen tariff bill and the in come tax measures, shows that tie Democrats are realizing their re sponsibilities and will do their dv ty.—Montezuma Record. - The Franklin News pays high tribute to Hon . A. O, Bacon. It regards him as one of the ablest men of the South.—Augusta Her ald. THE RACE FOR GOVERNOR. Gen. Evans was in Albany yes terday. Is this anethor anointed servant of the Lord ‘’going ye into all the world and preaching the gospel to every creature,”or shout ing around throughout the State dabbling in politics and seeking the Democratic nomination for governor?—Early County News. The idea that G n. Evans stands a ghost es a chance to carry Dooly county is so prepos’erous that not even his most enthusiastic sup porterscan make themselves quite believe it.—Cordele Cordelian. The Evans men are now claim ing Chattanooga and Charleston. If they can secure Chicago and N?w York they may begin to feel safe. But G eorgia continues grad ually to come in for Bill Atkinson. —lrwington World. The Atlanta dailies are strange ly silent about the guberantorial race. What has come over the spirit of their dreams? Has that from the “mountains to the sea board’’ avalanche proved to be a boomerang? In jus.ice to some of their smaller coutemporari es, for whom they have been a fountain head of inspiration, in guberuato tial affairs, they should have a word to say occasionally.—Co lumbus Ledger, Aalono Tiiis faiicf. The J utire Ccnfederafe Camp of Dalton nas joined the Evans . Calhoun Times. Dolton is ia a third party e< unty— at least that# the way Whitfield went last time. All the same the uuterified wool hat democrats will send Atkin son del*gates to tho convention. “Mark that prediction.” o The M*c n Bee speaking of the News savs: ‘ a’he Macon Evening Jim Jim has got ’em agin.” Now that.s about what we ’lowed o We ate told that the Evans ring, at last account, had sprtad over the en tire state.—Augusta Herald, You should remember the Hill boom of two years ago and catalogue the above as another of the Atlanta Constitution's campaign lies. o The New York Sun speaks of Chi cago as a city built en mud. The At lanta Journal thinks that Editor Dana has sluug mud enough in that di rection to build a city on, THAT JOINT DISCUSSION. The friends of Col. Atkinson and Gen. Evans have agreed on the dates and terms of the joint discussion be tween those two candidates, but the result is a disappointment to the public. Only four joint debates were arranged, and these few appoint ments will close the battle between the two on the hustings. The friends of Col. Atkinson insist ed on a larger number of appoint ments, so that every section of the state, and the people generally might have an opportunity to judge of their respective merits and claims for the office of Governor, The friends of Gen. Evans declin et to agree to more than four joint debates, and the joint committee of arrangements selected the following places aud dates: Chitlin, March 21st; Athens, March 23d; Rome, March 27th; and Hawkinsville, March 31st. These debates are looked forward to with much expectation, and they will no doubt prove strong pointers to the final result at the State Demo cratic Convention cn August 2d.— Cedartown Standard. POLITICAL HYSTERICS. The Augusta Chronicle, which has all along opposed any joint debates in this canvass, grows hysterical at the danger of its candidate, as ths time approaches when the debates will come oft despite its protests, and advises the people not to attend them. Here is the way it closes a half col un n editorial: “There is no need for debates be tween Gen. Ev&rsand Mr. Atkinson. When the people choose one of these as their standard-bearer, we will ex pect him to bear that standard with out hesitation against the champicn of any other political faith. But the time fer the fireworks has not come yet. In meantime let Democrats busy themselves at home, and let politics alone ” The Chenicle h'ts evidently arriv ed at a foolish and superannuated age. After having whooped up poli ties for months past in its efforts for Evans, it is afraid te have the people turn out and compare its candidate with another aspirant, and cries for peace Eut the Democrats will turn but, all the same, and make their choice between the man the State manipulators forced upon the track and the ma* they couldn't scare off the track. The Chronicle should persuade Gen. Evans to come down and save his supporters from the terrors of the joint debate— terrors which have un enned them at the start, and who shall say what the effect will be at the end?—Griffin News When the Lancaster sailed from the Levant recently her homeward bound pennant hoisted from the mass truck w s a wonder. It was of silk 600 feet in length. The cave animals of Northh Geor gia, according to Piofessor A. S. Packard, of Brown University, com prise 172 species of blind creatures, nearly all of which are mostly white in color. Hcweyer the “blind tiger“ is often an exception for it is as apt to be black aa “white. Thk Hustler of Rome is one of these fonl democrats who believe that “the boss that pulls the wag 1 gin ought ter have tie fodder.* 1 And theres a majority of Romans who are in that same boat. The Bibb cotton mills of Macon Ga., which have been running on half time for the past several months, started up on full time Tuesday. The Tribune has named the new city officers. This is bad for th* candidates, but it will bi worse, if s he Tribune undertakes to chain pion the cause of any set of them fer the Tribune is a “Jonah.” In a ton of Dead Sea water there ■ are 187 pounds of salt; Red sea 93; Mediteranian sea, 75, Atlantic ocean 81; English channel 7i; Baltic sea 25; and Caspian sea 11. But the Evans boom now on the upper “wa ters of Salt river is going yonder and will soon be busted and its saline tears will be flowi 'g iu mighty tor rents through the jungles of au un known political wilderness. Let every city office now filled by a man who opposed a Moore ticket be cleared of its occupant. If a better man can be fouud put him iu If no better can be fouud then put in a man who is equally as good —that kind can always be found. This is the Hustler's view of ths situation, but we have an abiding faith that the new admin ’straticu will do its duty. And none es the city officials who epposed the the Moore ticket and fsught it with the machinery, have their friends in the field “bringing pressure to bear” on the individual members of the new council. But in this fight, the new Aldermen are men of back bone aud with a big majority of the best element of tho masses at their I ack4 they will do th'ir du ty regardless of “secret order’ or any other kind of “pressure." M ark that preciiction. TWO COUNTRY BOYS Mayor Goodwin, of Atlanta in vetoing a wild-cat scheme to buy Piedmont Park, showed be had Courage aud sense. Goodwin is a Cobb county boy and deserves the popularity he ia gaining.—Mari eta Journal. Now you watch another country boy, W. Y Atkinson, of Coweta, down the “Atlanta ring” again. “A VERY GOOD INDICATION.’ Our congratulations go out to that puißsant Atkinson paper, the Hustler of Romb.ou its splendid victory in the municipal flight that terminated Tuesday in the election •f the whole ticket is espoused. The Tribune was warmer for the defeated side than for Evans, and ths attitude of the two papers may be taken as a very good indication es the way the county will go in tbs gubernatorial race. —Griffin News. The Hustler of Rome ii deeply grateful to the News for its neatly put compliment. This paper wins because it never barters ito influ ence for a candidates money, but always espouses the cause of the masses, end never “lets up” until victory ip won. The News needs have no fears for the six votes of Floyd. The u°w mayor and all but one of his aldeimen are avowed A tkioeon men, while the defeated candidate for mayor is the only man in Rome who has branded Mr. Atkinson as a “demagogue.” Only one man on his ticket was for Atkinson. The practical, fight ing, wining democrats of Floyd are for the young statesman of Coweta for Governor.
