Georgia Congressional Politics.


The congressional campaign IS opening up
in lively way in several districts in this
state. At present. interest centers in the
! Fourth, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth districts
In the Fourth Mir. Grimes has hard fight
before him. Judge S. ". Harris of New
nan has been brought forward By his
friends as a candidate, and it is believed
that their action hes the judges approval
Judge Harris is quite popular, having given
entire satisfaction as judge OF the Coweta
judicial circuit. But the race in the Fourth
is likely to be further complicated by
the candidacy Of ex-Congressman
Henry r. Harris. 1t is said that Mr..
Harris has been quietly feeling the popular
pulse on the congressional question. He has
been very successful IN politics, and should
he enter the race somebody's plans might
be badly disarranged.
In the Eighth and Ninth the present IN
cumbents, Messrs. Carlton and Gambler.
have announced that they will not seek
reelection, and several candidates have
come forward. In the Eighth district the
contest is at present triangular, Judge
Lawson. Judge Colley. and Hon. Fred c.
Foster being the contestants Judge Law
son has whatever advantage priority of
announcement Of his candidacy may have
given him. Each aspirant, however, is an
able man. and possesses host of personal
friends However the fight goes, the dis
trict will be credirably represented.
A lively contest is promised in the Ninth,
IN which there has always been a haven of
independence. due to the internal revenue
question. At present Judge James Brown.
brother of Senator Brown, is working to
secure the nomination. The contest may
present some picturesque features, contin-
gent upon the action of the Rev. Thad.
Pickett Mr.. Pickett, it will be remem-
bered, ran against Mr.. Gambler at the last
election. 1t is said that he has a strong
following IN the mountain counties.
1t would be difficult to forecast all the is
sues which will enter into the canvass. One
noticeable thing in the announcements of
the foregoing candidates is that they de-
clare unqualifedly for tariff reform. This
shows that the little coterie of protection
lists, who have been dealing the Democratic
party back-nanded blows in this state for
number Of years, have expended their eff
forts in vain.
OF course the possible action of the far
mers' alliance is a subject of much conject
ure One thing is certain, the candidates
all show great respect for the farmers-urg-
ing the Importance OF legislation for their
relief. Should the farmers throw their vote
solidly TO any one man that man will win.
Some lively developments may be expected
in congressional politics.

The EARLY Adjournment QUESTION.


For month or more Speaker Read has
been saying that congress must get ready to
adjourn by June L. or course nobody be-
lieVes that he thinks that congress will be
ready to adjourn by that time. His pur-
pose doubtless is to get as early an adjourn
ment as possible, with the view of creating
the impression upon the country that the
republicans do not waste their time in con-
gress, but attend strictly to business.
Another reason that he desires an
early adjournment is that he
doesn't want congress in session
while the Congressional campaigns are
going on. The speeches that the demo-
cratic members would make would
have damaging effect in
all probability upon the chances
of republicans for reelection, particularly
in western districts in which there is a
strong and growing tariff reform sentiment
and feeling hostile to the administration.
In the republican caucus on Monday
night Speaker Reed insisted that only two
weeks should be given to the debate on the
tariff bill, although quite number of the
members of his party declared that so i'm
portant a measure could not be discussed
as it should be in SO short time. He over
came all opposition, however, and the tariff
bill will be shown but scant courtesy in
tae House.
But it doesn't follow that because the
House win give only little time to the bill
it will be got rid of quickly. 1t is certain
that it will not satisfy the Senate, however
much it may be changed, before it reaches
that body, and there is no doubt that it will
be greatly changed because both democrats
and republicans of the House have hundreds
of amendments which they propose to offer
to it. The Senate will take its time in dis
cussing the bill, and if it gets through with
it by July q good many of those who are
acquainted with the slow progress which
/ tariff bills make will be greatly surprised:
Speaker Reed may push legislation with
all the vigor he possesses and congress will
not be ready to adjourn before Aug. l.
and perhaps not bsfore Sept l. There
are members of congress who believe there
will be no adjournment before Oct. /.
From this it is fair to infer that Speaker
Reed does not mean what he says when he
talks about adjourning by June 1. Aug.
is the average time of the adjournment of
! the long session, and there are more bills
pending now than at any time in any pre-
vious congress- Members of congress
might as well make up their minds to spend
the summer in Washington.

There is more money in circulation in

any idea of. On May l, Secretary Win
dom says, the amount of metallic and paper
money in the United States, not including
any portion Of the amount held by the
treasury of the United States, was S22 Sc

leading countries of Europe, with the ex-
ception of France, in which the circulation
is estimated at S57 SO per capita. IN his
statement of the per capita circulation the
secretary assumes that the population is
64,0O0,0Oo. The inflationists haven't so
much reason for complaining about the
lack Of currency as they thought they had.

Mexico's Debts.

The Boston Herald printed day or two
ago special from the City of Mexico in
which it was stated that European syndi-
cate had mads a proposition to Mexico to
loan them enough money to pay all her
debts, and the debts of each Mexican state,
including all the railroad bonds and sub
sides for which the government is response
BILE, and to accept public lands as security
for the loan. 1t is alleged that the Mexi-
can government now has this proposition
under consideration.
Mexico cannot now meet her obliga-
tons. Her finance minister made
statement recently, in which he
pointed out that so large part
of the revenue from customs was now
pledged to railroads that there was certain
to be deficit every year. He had no
remedy to offer for this condition of affairs.
He simply stated fact
Mexlco's debt amounts to several hundred
million dollars and is steadily increasing.
She raises revenue from every source that
she can. She could hardly increase her
revenue without checking the prosperity of
the country. She must adopt some policy.
now pursuing to meet her accommodating
obligations, if she desires to maintain her
| credit.
1t would wound her national pride some
what perhaps to mortgage herpubhc domain,
but would it not be wise for her to do 500 The
syndicate which would have control of them
would take steps at once to make them
valuable. 1t would spend money in build
ing railroads and advertising the lands. 1t
would send emigrants from Europe by the
thousands to occupy the lands. 1t would.
in fact, infuse new life into Mexico and it
might change the character of her popula-
! ton.
1t may be that the Mexlcans don't want
the character of their population changed,
and it may be that it is the fear of such a
change that makes the government hesitate
about accepting the European syndicate's
proposition. No doubt the railroads that
hold Mexican bonds and promises of sub
sides would be glad to have it acce pied.
