Nothing is worse for a security than an investigation ; nothing is wolße lor me bire-t than an inves tigation into big Nothing delays the business it concerns like an investigation. The general belief that tLe Su gar Trust has corruptly influenced the sugar schedule by a long time bribe of $500,000, paid in 1892, has forced an investigation in’o all phases of tariff bribery, reai and alleged. The investigation has practically postponed the tar iff bill. It may defeat it. It must delay it. Day by day the market has failed. Under the shadow of an investigation there was noth ing else to do. No market ever rose under tl e uncertautiej of a Congressional in ves'i-nfion into the working of a speculative stock. It is impossible. For right or wrong. "Wall Street looked for a turn on ttie pass age of the tariff bill. Its enactment looked possible in J une. As investigations go, it will be lucky if a vote is reach fl by the end of July. What the harvest will be then no man knows • It was nevir so uncertain as now. The only certain thing is that there is nothing certain now as to the time for a vote. With an investiga tion delays are endless. It has all the uncertainties of a trial and none of the pressure on bench and bar in an ordinary court to make room fjr the next case - lime is needed for the preparation of tbe case on both sides, time for the side issues which develop in every examiatinon, time for prepar ing tbe report, time for presenting, for debating and voting on it.

ROME GEORGIA. THURSDAY EVENING MAY 24. 1894, IMS Mill. Evans MenZßapidly Changing To Mr. Atkinson CONSTITUTION CONDEMNED Both For its Suppressing the News And its Third Party Teachings. At lanta tor Evans or Hines, Yesterdi.y there was a promi nent young Atlantiau in the city aid on the streets the Hustler of Rome and others heard him say Uiatif Atkinson was nominated, he would not get 1,000 votes Fulton county in the general elec tion and that Hines would be gov ernor. Now cemes this special from Harmony Grove, Ga: Harnony Grove,Ga,May 23. __A prominent Atlanta drummer let some thing drop here today in regard to the gubernatorial race, when he said that if Atkinson was nominated At lanta and the Constitution will elect Judge J K.Hines.Tbe endorsement of the Constitution by the Populist convention,and when its well known here that it is running Gen. Evans, c m lidacy has had a weakening effect on Gen.Evans’ candidcy.and one by one the friends of Gen. Evans are leaving his ranks and are announc ing themselves for Atkinson. The Constitution is being heartily denounced on ©very street corner by friends of both Evans and Atkinson for suppressing the news when At kinson is in the lead - Only today we beard an avowed supporter of Evans say that the Constitution was hurt ing t ie candidacy of Gen. Evans by its unfairness of reports, and tbe populists endorsing it, when taking into consideration that almost every county that Atkinson carries endors es the administration. The friends of Gen. Evans are down-hearted, and to use tbe word« of G«n. Evans in bis Athens spie h: ‘‘There are things about this campaign they don’t under stand—” When a voice in the crowd cried out, “That’s Bill At kinson.” Up to two weeks ago it looked as if Gen. Evans would carry Jack son county. Mr. Atkinson’s fiiends are jubilant now, owing to so many changes, and claim that At kinson will cafy the county on June 16th. by a handsome majori ty. The country boys are stirred up and the returns from every county are eagerly watched for. “A TAX PAYER’’ WANTS To KNOW WHERE LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATES ARE “AT.” Oreburg Floyd Co., Ga. To Edit< r of The Hustler of Rome:—Will you. through your paper request each and every can didatein the race for the Legisla ture, to define his position oi the question of charging hire for v loyd county’s convicts in the ckain gaug. The two last grand jurys recom mended the Presiding Judge to institute a process of law to com pel the board of Road and Reve nue to pay back into the treasury the fairs paid to the aflicers of the court, the $1 900. We hear it ru mored on the streets of Rome, that the officers propose to have it le galized by the next legislature. We wish each candidate to de fine his position on that subject so we can vote intelligently and those who refuse to go on record on that subject we propose to leave at home, we are opposed to such ex penditure, of the public money without any authority of law. Respectfully yours A Tax Payer. J. S .Blount, a-leading attorney o( Gadsden Al», » i“ tke oity to<l y THE wms. Are said to be Heading for the County Districts OF THE COUNTY OF FLOYD. THEY ARE HEELED WITH ATLANTA “BTUFF” AND WILL TEACH THE WOOL HAT BOYS OF FLOYD HOW TO VOTE A DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN A DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. Evidence multiplies as to the large and numerous contributions made to the Evans campaign fund by the General’s friends in Atlan ta. There is but une use that such a could be put to in the con test now going on, where legiti mate expenses are small, and that is to improperly influence voters t > choose the side that has the largest barrel. That it has been so med is conclusively proven by ciicumstantial evidence in coun ties that have already acted. The trie ads of pure methods in poli ces must redouble their efforts and vigilance in every county to see that the real will of the people is not thwarted in any such ne. farious way. The Atlanta correspondent of the Macon Telegraph,a thoroughly reli able and well posted gentleman, writes: ‘■Tnere have been several meetings of the Evans campaign committee recently that were painful to a de gree bordering, on hystoria.The strength that Mr Atkinson has devel- -* ‘ - - '"’’l*? oped has completely knocked the wind out of the ‘boodle’ committee. They do not know which way to turn. They are disheartened thor oughly. AH arguments and fair cam paign methods have been ex hausted, and the only hope now is ‘boodle.’ The Atkinson people in the counties that acts this week may con sider themselves put on special notice that several ‘barrels’ are to be open ed this week. A frantic Cill for funds was sent out Saturday night when the election news came in, and it is said that the good work of collecting the boodle was pushed yesteday with a vigor that did not pause at the church door. Money is going to be used from now on with the reckless ness of a lost cause-a folorn hope. U this week’s work does not pan out the boodle’ committee will be ready to throw up the sponge ” SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED The attention of the principal keeper of the penitentiary seems to have been sufficiently called to the fact that one of the chief guards of the penitentiary is charg ed with partizan activity in the gubernatorial campaign and whose methods have created couesdorabl® indignation among th® people. It would be well for tbe princi pal keeper to call in Capt, Stands. He is said to be operating in Hall county this week. If we are not mistaken in the name, originally informed the public that Col At kinsou had announced to him, in advance of doing so publicly, his candidacy for governor. At any rate the principal keeper should ee to it that the employes of the penitentiary confine themeHves to their duties —Columbus Enquire. Kun. Mr. Louis Harold, after a pleas ant visit to a brother in Tennessee, is home again, much improved in ■ health. Will Those Atlanta Emisa ries Advance. IO THE LABOR UNIONISTS? WHAT THE MACON TELEGRAPH HAS TO SAY OF THE “FOUL BLANDER ’ SUBJECT MATTER LET THE MORNING “jOBAH’ BEAD AND PONDER. An Atlanta dispatch to the Au gusta Chronicle says that “the Evans campaign committee is making pre parations for a grand coup in this week’s elections.” The preparations t.eem to consist,according to the Te* egraph’s own account,of sending re. preseutatives of the trades unions of Atlanta into the principal connties which hold primaries this weak with plenty of money to pay their ex penses. Just what reasons these emissaxies will give to convince their fellow craftsmen that they should vote for lien. Evans rather than for Mr. At k-inson are bard to guess. If there js a union painter among the emis saries, for instance, what argument will he bring to bear on the uniou printers of Columbus and Rome? Wilbhe tell them that in tbe office of the Constitution, Gen. Evans’ chief organ, union printers are not employed? Hardly. He will need more attractive, more plausible ar guments than that statement of fact. What other trade can possibly nave a special interest that Gen. Evans can or will protect more 'Lilly than Mr. Atkinson? What possible reason is there for work ingmen to align themselves in ibis contest as trades union men rather than as citizens? Thers is none, and for that reason this last desperate resort of ihe Atlanta schemers must fail. It is intended to control the action of men too intelligent to be deceived and tou honest to be bought —Macon Tele graph. ? CANDIDATES IN BARTOW. SEVIN WAIT TO BE CLERK OF THE SUPERIOR COURT. Cartersville, Ga., May 23.—Lo cal politics in Bartow is already developing interesting phases. .Mr F. M. Durham, wko has been clerk »f the superior court fifteen years, has decided to retire at ths end vs his prensent (arm and there are now seven or eight candidates for the office. For the legislature there are no avowed candidate as yet. Messres J. M. Neal and J. M. Veach who served the county the past two years, xvill probaly not ask to be returned on aenunt of business interests at home reqnireing their attention Colonel T. C. Milner has been talked of a little, as has also Colo»el Shelbv Attaway, Judge of the city coust. Either of these with a good farmer for a running mate waaia make it interesting for the populi ts, who it is claimed, will put two men in the field. Fortin| rate senate Mr. W. H, Lumpkin, an intelligent and prosper, ous farmer, has already announced for the democratic nomination and th is week Colonel J W. Harris Jr., will follow siut. Colonel Hanis en joys the pi« itige of a former term in the senate and may be a. candidate for the presidency of that bodv if. elected. It is rumored that Hon. Seab Wright, of Floyd, will be so licited to run for the senate as. a can didate for the populist. And again both he and Dr Felton have been considered in ceonnection with the n minution for ongreHS for thats party. —Constitution. A. S. Murteen of Memphis Tenn, is in the city, a guest of the New Central. ‘i FOIL SLIMIffi” That’s the way the Morning “Jonah” Touches up the MACON TELEGRAPH SPECIAL BUT IT COMES FROM THE ALBANY HERALD A NON PARTIZAN SHEET, WHOSE PRIDE IT IB TO SERVE RELIABLE NEWS. The following is| reproduced by the Hustler of Rome from the newt, columns of a non partizan paper and one oithe most reliable dailies in Ge orgia; Atlatna.Ga , May 22 -There comes to light, in a most peculiar fashion rhe story,of a meeting of the I vans, Campaign Committee this morning .nd what was done at it. It seems that when the meeting was called, one of its rnos important members was absent. This member has a brother, and the brother was delegated by the absent member, who is away on campaign duty, to ippear at the meetin in his place, fo’ iome reason or other. The brother s an Atkinsi n man, and thro g i him a huge scheme to carry Muscogee- Bibb and Floy I counties has ‘Topped oat. Hon. b N. Trammell, this story has it, is the gentleman whose iu zenuity envolved an id°a nonpa eil. The result was that at the meeting committees were appoint ed from both the Knights of la bor and the Federation Trades us this city, and they will go to the three counties named, armed with with the wherewithal to carry the counties. Evidently the fight is getting warm. The Atkinson people held a meeting here last night, but were so quiet about it that nothing was learned of it until today. It was held in room No. 507, Kimball House. Now let tbe Tribune compose its self from its duck fit and ex p.ain to the working men and la boring classes “who ’ it is that is insulting them in the boodle methods of this campaign. Let the working men see to it, that tho Tribune tbe month piece of the money power and monopo lists, does not “muddy the waters’ and help Atlanta and Atlanta money corrupt the democracy of the good old county of Floyd. Keep your eye peeled for the ‘ said committee” and teach them that Floyd’s poor men, are not to be taught how to vote in a demo cratic primary by such cattle as can be controlled by such politi cal scoundrels as tne members ol tho Atlanta Ring. MORE RAIN Al .JUH.NBTOWN BUT IT IS THOUGHT ALL DANGER IS NOW OVEB. Johnstown Pa , May 2-I.—The re newal of the he-vy downpour of rain last night again alarmed the inhabi tants of the seemingly ill fated Oon eiuaugh valley. Throughout the night & few eyes were closed in sleep. This morning, however, brought relief of mind. The rain had not been sufficient to cause the river* to get wild again. The mountain streams are running full, but only served to check receding water in the rivers. No damage was done and it is again thought that the danger is passed, C H. J. TAYLOR CONFIRMED.
