for refusing to marry him. This time he
was at st. Augustine Fla. Hanging is
altogether too luxurious death for such a
wretch. If anybody in this broad land
should enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness, it is the ladies. This coward had
no more right to compel that girl to marry
him than he had to force her to eat dog.

that the community can do nothing worse

Reed and the Force Bill

Representative Crisp, who reached his
home in Americas few days ago, e. pressed
10 a local papsr some rather interesting
views about congressman and the WORK OF
congress. Among other thing, he said it
was by 70 means certain whas the fate OF
the force bill would be. He expressed the
belief that if the republicans should win the
next House the bill would be passed, but
that if the democrats should win il would
be dropped.
There is chance that it would not bs
passed even IL tho republicans should get
q majority of the next House.
Representative Crisp says that there is
no friendship bstween Senator Quay and
Speaker Rsed, both of them being troubled
by the burning of the presidential bee. If
the republicans should control the next
House. therefore, Reed would again
be chosen speaker, and would become a very
prominent candidate for the presidential
nomination Of his party. The passage of
the force bill would help him to ges the
nomination, because he is regarded as its
special champion. To defeat Speaker
Reeds aspirations Senator Quay
might use his iuh lencs to
prevent the bill from passing the Senate.
He might be able to get enough senators to
stand by him in his opposition to it to de-
feat it. 1t cannot be predicted. however,
with any degree of accuracy what course
Senator Quay will pursue with respect TO
the bill. la our dispatches yesterday Sena-
tor Edmunds is quoted as saying the bill
will pass at the next ses sion. 1t is noto-
rious fact. however, that that senator's
predictions cannot be relied upon. To
insure the defeat of the force bill
the democrats in all parts of the country
should make al extraordinary effort to get
control of the next House.
Representative Crisp regards Speaker
Reed as very brainy man, but very ar
bitrary and dominsering one, and he says
that among the republicans in Washington
it is common talk that Speaker Reed is aim
ing at the presidency, and is sparing no eff
fort to make himself his party's standard
bearer in the next national campaign. He
has the extremists, the monopolists and the
bloody-shirt faction of his party at his
back. Under the circ umstances, therefore.
it would not be surprising if he should be
the ne xt republican candidate for Pres
dent.
If the democrats win the next House Rep
resentative Crisp will bs speaker. There is
no question about that He has made a
record in congress of which his constitu-
ents-in fact, all democrats of Georgia
are proud

The Macon and Atlantic.

1t seems that the Macon and Atlantic
people think they can build a seaport city as
we'll as railroad, and SO they have sur
veyed a route from Guyton to Colleton's
Neck-a place near Button, S. c. Thew
may intend to take their railroad there, but
the chances are they don't As business
men they cannot fail to see what a mistake
1t would be to do so.
They might be able to build a respecta-
BILE village at Colleton's Neck, but not a
city that would afford their road much
passenger or freight traffic Attempts have
been made all along the South Atlantic
coast to build towns. most all of which have
been failures.
1t would be better for the Macon and At
lantic 60 come to Savannah at a cost of
81. 100000 for terminal faciliti es than to 90
to Colleton's Neck, where a terminal site
can be obtained for little or nothi ng; but
terminal facilities can be obtained at Sa-
vannah for much less than 81 900, 900, very
much less, and when the road is here it will
have business at once that will be worth
something.
1t Is probable that its bonds could be sold
for 10 cents on the dollar more IL its ter
minal were at Savannah than ii it were at
Colleton's Neck. The advantages of Sa-
vannah as q seaboard terminal are SO much
greater than those of any other place on the
South Atlantic coast that it is difficult to
see how the Macon and Atlantic folks can
seriously think of going elsewhere.

The Mckinley bill will assist in making
the English language the language of the
world. 1t provides that after March 6
next ''all articles of foreign manufacture.
such as are usually or ordinarily marked,

ages containing such or other imported
articles, shall respectively be plainly
marked, stamped, branded or labeled in
legible English words, so as to indicate the
country of their origin, and unless SO
marked, stamped, branded or labeled they
shall not be admitted to entry" The man
who had the foregoing put in tie bill pur-
poses, probably, to set up printing press in
Europe to print labels in the English Ian
guage for olive oil, wines and various other
articles. If the tariff bill is a farmers
measure it is not easy to see how the farm
ers are to be benefited by this provision
of it.
