The Georgia question is soon to come up
again in the House of Representatives,
where the Senate amendments to the bill
are now pending. The principal amend
ment is that Of Mr. Pome1oy, which requires
that an election shall be held in Georgia, at
the regularly appointed time, for members
OF the Legislature, but does not admit the
State into the Union. The bill, as passed
by the House, provided for the admission
Of the Statc, and also for an election at the
regular time, to-wit IN November next
The reason for providing for an
election at the time fixed in
thu Georgia Constitution wss found
in the fact that Governor Bullock had an
nounced his intention, and TINT Of his
faction, to "hold over, " in spite of the
people-one ii the most impudent aud
anatchical propositions ever broached in this
country, To meet and put down this
attempted insurection, the Bingham
amendment WAS framed aud adopted
by the House. The Pomeroy amend
ment contains the same requirement
rs the Bingham amendment. This, then
is something upon which both houses
are agreed, and is no longer matter Of
dispute, and cannot properly be again
:raversed. The point Of disagreement be.
tween the two houses is as TO the admission
Of The State. We hope the House vii
strenuonsly insist upon her aanis
sion. The Republican party will lose
votes this fall if the State is not admitted
1t will be Justly chargeabie with the offence
Of keeping up strife and bitterness for nc
good purpose and, to some extent charge
able with the crime Of seeking to impose ,
government upon The people of Geor
gia against their wishes, and it
violation of their constitution Thi
last stigma can only be removed
by admitting the State. II anybody sup
poses that the Republican party can com
nit crime against civil liberty in time o
peace and escape the consequences, be i
egregiously mistaken. 1t is gratifyin
fact, that every member OF the Hous
from Illinois (fourteen in number,
voted for the Bingham amendment
and for the admission of Georgis
and also that member from Illinois (A1l
Fatnsworth) WAS the first To successful
combnt and overthrow the oonspiratol
against civil liberty in Georgia We boz
they will be equally unanimous and efRciet
in the battle which il soon to be Joined

The indications are that the Jenckes
Civil Service bill will be defeated. It Is a
very ungracious task to ask Congressman
to part with the power to reward those who
helped to mike them Congressman, or to
admit that any Board of Examiners would
exercise more judicious influence over
appointments to Office thnn that heretofore
brought to bear by congressman 5enckes'
bill dies because it is q limitation on the
powers Of Congress to appoint persons to
Office by usurping the functionso of the Exec
utive, and, as nothing but the constitution
can limit the powers Of Congress, it is
plainly an unconstitutional mode of doing
the thing! If there were any body outside
of Congress capable of passing it, it would
long since have passed The press would
pass it; the people would pass it, if per
mitted. But Congressman are conscious
that theiz powers need expansion
rather than Limitation. While this is doubt
less true Of their intellectual powers, yet
as these arc incapable of serious expansion,
their only means of making up for the do
hcieucy is TO hold fast to their power ove1

4 Prophecy Partially Fulfilled.


To the Editor qr TAs Chicago Isabuns:
By request will give you the details Of
what Is known among class Of no inconAid-
e1abie numbers "a " Hoag's vision."
Ny pate1nal grandfather, Joseph Hoag, was
widely Known Us an eminent munster among
the Orthodox Ffiends. He travelled extern
siye1y as An itinetant preacher, md visited
erery "meeting" OF the denomination to
which he belonged in America. In August,
1908, he had vision, which he described
substantially as follows:
"In 1908, in the eighth month, wsa alone
in the field, md observed that the sun ehone
clear, and mist obscured its htightness.
pondered On the singu1arity Of the event, Aud
al my feelings were brought low by the
eolemnity Of tho occasion. 4 voice from
heaven spoke Audibly to me and said: Look,
and behold What thou now seeth Is the sign
Of present and coming timcs- took the
first settlers Of this country from land Of op-
preston and gave them goodly land, and
whilo thoy were humble blessed them, bu.
they hare grown proud and naughty, and have
forgotten me, Aud suffered = dividing spirit
among them, and have oppressed my people,

tetian Church on points Of doctrine. and went
through the different religious denominations.
It entered into tho Society Of Ftiandn, and
tboec who kept to their ancient principles re-
tired by themselves. and the others want Of
with heads and naughty looks. It entered the
lodges Of Free Nssous and caused much dis
tu1bance. It enterrd politics in the United
States, md did not stop until it created av1
war, and great deal Of blood WAS shed dur in
the combat. The Southern States lost thei,
power, and slaSery WAS driven from their bor.
ders.

IT APPEARS that the claims on file in
the Auditor Generals Office, for dam
ages from the rebel raid, amount t.
about two million dollars. These
claims, which it is proposed to make
the State pay, have been collected by
commissioners, at the expense ofmany
thousand dollars to the mmonwcaih.
None of the claimants have appeared
in person. but numbers of lawyers
from :he border counties, have visited
Harrisburg. II it be true that scores
of these claims have been bought up
for small figures, or that large COM
missions are to be paid for collecting
them, the facts have not yet been
openly proven. The friends of the bill
to make the State pay these large
amounts are using efforts to convert
members to their views.
