The House isn't making very rapid
progress in disposiug of its Worlds
Fair question, in fact it doesn't seem
to be making any progress at all The
trouble seems to be that noUe Of the
advocates of the rival cities wish TO
take single step forward unless it
favors the particular city for which
they are working. Unless some sort
of compromise is agreed upon there
will be no Worlds Fair.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. "a, 1890.
Senator Ingalls, is still postmaster
in the art of excoriating democrats,
particularly those who are his col.
leagues in the United States Senate.
Yesterday afternoon the Senator from
Kansas made a characteristic speech
to crowded galleries. 1t was made in
reply to Senator Buffers remarks in
favor of his proposition to send the
negroes to Africa.
Speaker Reed is ruling the House
with a strong and steady hand, and
now that the republicans have pulled
themselves together and are acting in
concert the democrats fud it utterly
impossible to succeed in any dilatory
tactics. As soon as one Of them at.
tempts to do anything irregular Mr.
Reed decides promptly against him
and the House stands by the Speaker
decision, or at least the republican
majority does, which amounts to the
same thing. OF course the democrats
who expected to keep the House in {
tangle all the time by fllibusterinl
are kicking hard and yelling "usurpa
tion," but Mr.. Reed only smiles a
them and goes ahead in his own way
The republicans are congratulating
themselves that no mistake was made
in electiDg Mr.. Reed to be Speaker.

irated with grief for the death of bis

A MEMBER of Philadelpbia's Com
mon Council the other day asked the
clerk to read a communication which
he sent up with the remark that it had
a bearing on the subject then being
discussed. The clerk began: "Dear
Will: Come and see me to night at
=" when be was stopped by the ex.
cited Councilman, who had sent up a
love letter instead of an official docu
ment. That reminds Gossip of funny
incident in the House in 1881. A
prominent western man was making a
speech and to secure O rest he sent TO
the clerks desk what he said was a
letter signed By twenty of his constit-
uents asking the passage of the bill
then under discussion. Harry Huhn
was chief clerk and a grim smile fitted
over his face as he read: "Old man,
come around to No. - Blank street
tonight. We are going to have a
little game" The house fairly roared
with laughter at the mistake, and the
fun broke out afresh when Speaker
Hewitt, who was somewhat of a wsg,
remarked: at could hardly be called
a little game with twenty persons in
it."-Harrisba'rg Telegraph.

THE death of Adam Forepaugh,

but Mr.. Forepaugh made it and

THE BourbOns say, in effect, to the
negroes at the South: "This country is

here to stay. Suppose you do the

The Death Record.

A. b. Gibbs, father-in-law of s. r..
DAILY, died at the residence of Mr..
DAILY yesterday. This death is a sad
one. About month ago Mr.. Gibbs
left his home at Cherry Vale, Kan
sas, for the purpose of visiting his
daughter here, and his mother in
Giles county. He stopped here a
few days, and then went to see his
mother. He remained there about
two weeks and returned to this city
one week ago last Saturday. He
was taken i'll with tlux shortly after
his return and never rallied. His
wife was made acquainted with his
death by telegraph and arrived in
the city last night. Mr.. Gibbs was
an Odd Fellow in good standing and
was buried by that order this even

The news comes that there is tall
kicking in districts Nos. 4, 10 and II
against the negro appointees for CEN
sus enumerators In those districts and
many declare they will not give in
their reports. The law specifies that
the enumerators shall be appointed
in the districts when competent men
can be had. Where they cannot the
enumerators may be appointed from
other districts. The appointees for
these districts are from No. II, the
city, and citizens contend that they
have plenty of competent men and
that these appointments are not legal,
therefore they will not submit to the
appointments. Watson is the APP
pointee for the Fourth and Squire
Wheeler for the Tenth and Eleventh.
They are both respectable colored
men and will no doubt undertake to
discharge the duty In an orderly,
dignihed, respectful way, and not in
q domineering, bulldozing spirit, or
offer any intrusion in any way, and
the question is, under the circum-
stances, had not the people of these
districts better look upon this as a
business matter and treat the emu
merators as they would if they were
to call ON any other business? The
law requires the enumerators, Under
penalty, to report the name Of every
man who refuses to answer the qGes-
tions, to the authorities at Washing
ton, who report the cases to the dis
trictcourtat Nashville forprosecutiOn.
The penalty for refusing to answer
is fine from 800 to 81 900 and cost.
While citizens might defeat such
suits on the plea of illegal appoint
ments, the question is very doubtful,
and even should they succeed in
getting rid of the fine, the cost,
trouble and vexation in being dragged
to Nashville and paying lawyers to
defend their cases, would be endless
and very annoying-mOre expense
than many could stand. Under the
circumstances we would advise the
citizens to answer all questions
promptly and let the business PRO-
coed without any hinderance or
trouble. We may have to submit
to worse things.

RELIGIOUS NOTES.
Children's Day Celebrated at the Meth
odist Church Yesterday.

The Methodists celebrated Chill
dren's Day at their church yester-
day. The exercises consisted Of
songs and recitations by the children
and talk by the pastor, Rev. j. e.
Harrison. While his remarks were
appropriate to all, the preacher adj
dressed the Little Lights, a mission
airy society, mainly, and his object
was to stimulate mission work, TO
spur each child up. to contributing
something for the subjugation of the
world to Christ. His idea was hap
PLY illustrated by the invasion of
Mexico in 1916, when the United
States troops conquered the country
with arms and force, and many
were killed. In 1873 there was an
other invasion of Mexico by the
Women's Missionary society of the
Methodist Church, South. The for
mer line of march was followed, but
this was a campaign Of peace apd
love instead of war, and nearly every
battlefield of the former invasion has
been made sacred by the erection of
a church thereon. He urged each
little hearer to become a personal fac.
tor in this great conquest of the world
by doing something for the mission
airy cause.
In the afternoon, at the same
church, the Little Lights, under the
direction of Mrs. Dora Stewart, went
through with a program, prepared
especially for the occasion. This pro-
gram, as well as the one in the fore
noon, was interesting and carried
out well.
Children's Day was also observed
at the Antioch church on the south
side. The program was the same as
the one here. Rev. w. A. Turner,
preached a sermon in line with the
occasion and everything passed off
pleasantly. Quite a number of
GAINESVILLE people went over to An
tioch and spent the day with friends
in that vicinity.
