A COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.


 Atlanta, Georgia, is one of the iveliest places in the South, and, indeed, is quite as lively as some northern cities It is place that is not afraid of ideas and there are peo- pie there who have ideas. One of the latest has just taken form in call for national commercial convention, to be held in that city May 19, 20 and q. The committee which issues the call expresses the belief that national convention, whose represents tion is confined rigidly to those who are active and experienced in business affairs, and in which the discussions will proceed up- on the intelligent non-po1itical and practical principles of trade, exchange and traffic, as pursued in the United States, will not only command the attention and sympathy of the country, but will give direction to public opinion in ways that will make it command ing upon national legislation. The time chosen is most opportune-''in the interim between the inauguration of new admins tration of national affairs, and before the meeting of new Congress, and while there are pending before the authorities and peo- pie important propositions for treaties affect Ing the foreign relations and commerce of this nation with other countries, in addition to domestic monetary and commercial mat ters." And the committee, of course, thinks the plan is as good as any.
 The scheme of representation proposed is as follows: Every local body or ganized for general commercial, and not for special private purposes, shall be entitled in this convention to the following represen- tation Each association having fifty mem bers or less shall be entitled to one delegate; associations having more than fifty members shall have one other delegate for each addi- tional fifty members, to be appointed by the association. Any city town of two thou sand inhabitants not having an organized body as above shall be entitled to one dele gate, and towns of over two thousand inhabi- tants shall have one other delegate for every additional five thousand inhabitants, dele gates to be appointed by the mayor or chief magistrate. The governor of each State shall be eligible as a delegate, and each State shall be entitled to two additional delegates sat large, to be appointed by the governor. There to be eight national delegates, to be se- lected by the executive committee.
 The subjects proposed for consideration are: 1. Commercial and reciprocity treaties between the United States and foreign coun- tries. g. A national bankrupt law. 8. The compulsory coinage of silver. 4. Railway transportation. 5. Such other questions touching national, financial and commercial interests as the convention may deem proper for discussion and action.
 This is an interesting scheme, and one which might very properly meet with general approval. Such convention might profit ably be held every year. If made up of the right men and we'll managed it would be power for good

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The English are 'mad' enough to fight Russia and their state of mind is not to be wondered at. It looks as if Russia had been decidedly tricky.
 The Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle declares upon Competent authority" that the inn pression prevailing that the colored people of Georgia do not pay their proportion of the school fund is an error. They pay more than their quota. This speaks well of the prosperity of the Georgia negroes.
 A grand jury in Luzerne county, Pennsyl- vania, has got itself disliked by the lawyers, but has done good thing. The court cal endars have been blocked and cheked with trivial complaints and the grand jury has summarily dismissed some eighty cases of this class and sadd1ed the costs upon the complainants.
 A New York court has just dealt with a question interesting to all who buy and sell real estate. It declares that if broker in- troduces person to the owner of property, or. performs some similar tri1ing courtesy in the direction of business, that act does not necessarily give the broker the right to collect commissions; such proof standing alone does not offer any basis for claim for compensation.
 The growth of the Wyoming Stock Grow ers' association is an indication of the inn portance of the cattle interests of this coun- try. Twelve years ago this association was organized with ten members, owning 0,00O head of cattle, valued at $350, 900. To-day it has 435 members owning 3, 900, 900 head of cattle whose estimated value is $100, 900, ,000 Its sway extends over the whole of Wyoming and portions of six other States and Terri tories, and it is without doubt the largest as- sociation of the kind in the world.
 A foreign paper states that the question of the raising of the temperature of buildings lighted by gas or electricity has been cleverly determined at the royal opera house in the commencement of the performance the curtain should be raised and the lamps should be allowed to burn for an hour At the end of that time observations on the temperature were taken at intervals of five minutes, simultaneously in the boxes, pit and gallery. Again, the same observations were continued every ten minutes after the audience had assembled and throughout the performance. By these experiments it was proved that the electric ight-unlike it's rival, gas-actually diminished the tenn perature, instead of adding to it.

 You can buy a Parasol any day when you may feel the need of it, but your dresse: have to be thought of in ad vance of your needs. In Cot. ton Dress Goods it is indigo blue-and indigo blue, and again indigo blue-all day long and every day, that is called for. We have the. trusty dye in Calico at two prices, in good fine wide Cambrics, in very fair quality Ginghams, and now at last in Sateens also. The indigo blue Sateens are some thing neW-not very much seen yet, and not seen at all any where up to this time under 25c., but we will sell them now at a great deal less than that. Come and see them.

 Plain and Tricot Cloth Suit ings at less than their value. As we explained lately, when we say 1ess than value" we mean that we are selling the goods in question at less than could easily be got for them-less than others near us are getting for them.
 Plaid Dress Goods and checks in black and white, and in some good colors, of very fine grades at unusual prices.
 The old Ottoman" style of dress goods used in former sea sons sold well because they looked nice, but they didn't give satisfaction in wearing, owing to their liability to pull and give way at the seams. The Royal" Reversible Dress Goods that we have this year look like Otto- mans, only the cord runs along the goods instead of across, and you cannot pull them apart. They are very excellent goods, and have the advantage of being reversible, the back being made with a smooth sateen-like finish. There are many grades on the market, but we think those we have are the best value. We have a good line of new colors in them.
 The "Homespun"" Suitings have attracted considerable at tention since we opened them, and they deserve it.

Compliment 70 the press.

During the present term of court there
have been several criminal cases, tried by
jury of course, and in each case every
Juror called to serve has been questioned
as to having formed an opinion as to the
guilt or innocence of the defendant. In
nearly every instance the jurors have ans
wered that they have read the newspaper
accounts of the affairs, out of which the
indictment and prosecution have emanat-
ed, but that they have formed no opinion
in regard to the guilt of the party there
from. Although, as one of the jurors
expressed it, II take it for granted that
the newspaper accounts are true - yet it
seems that so fairly and impartially have
these matters been from time to time
stated by the newspapers of the city. that
they have not tended to prejudice the
public mind against tho parties who have
eventually been called upon to answer for
their conduct in our courts of Justice.

A COVE.



Cheyenne is peculiarly unfortunate in
some respects, and one of them is that
nearly every kind of fraud the world can
boast of at the present, manages to give
Cheyenne a call. One of the worst of
this class departed for Denver Yesterday.
His name was D. G. 0'Uallahan, and he
has been roping the people of Cheyenne
in on the book question in a curious way.
He had the books (Dante's Inferno and
others) all right enough, and would de-
liver them promptly to whomever would
buy, but the trouble was that no one
wanted to buy the books. especially, as
the same works can be bought of our
several book dealers for about half the
price this peddler charged. In order to
get the people to buy the books he re-
sorted to a novel scheme. For instance,
he would learn where Mr.. A. lived, and
all about him. Watching his opportunity
he would call at the residence of Mr.. A.
while that gentleman was absent, and tell
hhios n that nti hu5bdiu ndu Dttu seen
by him and wanted one of tho books, and
had directed him to bring it to his resi-
dence and his wife would pay him for it.
He also in some instances got the lady of
the house to sign what he pretended was
a receipt for the books, but which un-
questionably proved to be a promisory
note which he would afterwards get cash
ed. In various ways this slippery custo-
mer succeeded in disposing of his books
to the people who did not want them aud
he carried his game to such a height that
there was a slight prospect of his being
treated to a coat OF tar and feathers.
Like Jobs horse he eventually "sniffed
the battle from afar' and taking time by
the fore'ock he yesterday skipped out for
Denver, where he will doubtless pursue
the same game.
