Mossback Defiant.

| take my pen in hand once
more to inform the readers that
Mrs. Mossbeck continues to dream
as vividly as ever; that the Null
tums are still in business at the
old stand; and that Solomon Moss
back, political martyr of Elm
Narrows, is yet in the land and
among the living. One night
last week Mrs. Mossback, after
washing for three neighbors in
the same day, dreamed that | was
stricken with hemiplegia, and un-
able to go to town or write letter.
AS her dreams are prophecies to
her, next morning she was almost
in the condition of the poet who
was pleased aud yet sad. |
thought there WAS slight tremor
in her voice when she told me
what dire atfiiction the future had
for me; | was sure there was an
intonation of triumph with the
words:
"Now, Solom on, you will suffer
much of course, sut suffering
makes some persons better AT
any rate, it could not possibly in
jure your morals. 1t is a comfort,
Solomon, to think You will
not have the same facilities for
makinga a fool of yourself. In my
dream [ WAS PAL tlcular to observe
which arm WAS affected. 1t will
be your right arm, Solomon; the
one with which you have commit
ted political suicide. 1t was un-
lucky for you that taught you
to write. But soon your pen will
rest, aud then your reputation
may improve slightly. Even in
time persons may forbear to speak
of you as the Crank of Elm Mar
rows. Try to prepare yourself fo1
the sffiictiou, Solomon, and learn
to think everything is for the
best"
She might have gone on till the
crack of doom, had | been dispos-
ed to listen. But [ left her alone
with her lecture. 1t was next to
the last day OF court, and l had
before been conspicuous for my
absence. Truth to tell, all the
first week of the late term | was
in solitude of the first water
among the Charlton hills. AS il
we're, [ went my own security over

starvation was way out OF

the grand jury was sitting. The
unsleeping hostility of the Mul-
tums would have warned me to
eternal vigilance, had l never been
accused of arson. But with the
schoolhouse affair staring me III
the face, it would have been q
piece of folly big as Cleveland's E
silver letter, had l staid about
home, an easy prey of the consts-
BILE. But, thanks to good luck
rather than the eternal justice
supposed to go hand in hand with
law, | WAS not disturbed on &C,

WASHINGTON LETTER
From Our Rec ular Correspo ndent.
WASHINGTON, d. G. Nov. 16


The President took occasion in
his speech of welcome to the new
Chilian Minister to this country
to condense into a few words the
invariable policy of the United
States towards the contending
parties in the recent civil war in
Chill, that may be proftably stud
led, not only by the Chilians but
by the citizens of the other Cen
tral and South American countries,
where revolutions ale matters OF
common occurrence. He said
"our people are too just to desire
that the commercial or politica,
advantage of this government
should be sought by the promotion
of disastrous dissentions in Other
countries. We hear with sorrow
every fresh tale of war or internal
strife, and are always ready tc
give our friendly offices TO the pro.
motion of peace. If these are moi
acceptable or do not avail 1t is oul
policy to preserve an honorable
and strict leutrality, as was done
during the recent war In Chill
Tempting commercial and politi
cal advantages may be offered fol
our aid or influence by one or the
other of the contending parties
but this we have not deemed to be
consistent with the obligations oil
international honor and good will
"The outlook for an early and en-
tirely satisfactory settlement with
Chill is now decidedly favorable

the q. A. r. who has been here
since the meeting Of the Nationa.
Council of administration, viii ct

Sept. 20, 1892, for national encsmp
ment in this city, will remain here
several days longer. He takes
the liveliest interest in the prelimi.
nary work now being done by the
local committee in charge of the
preparations for the encampment

ker and his subordinates do mol
like the manner in which a silly
paragraph, originated in the New
York Herald, which certainly
ought to know better, and stating
that the instructions of Post Office
Inspectors authorize them to open
any sealed letter in the mail if
they are suspicious of It's contents,
has been gwen circulation by the
Press of the country. 1t is un-
lawful for any person, no matter
what his suspicious or even knowl-
edge of the contents of a letter
may be, to open sealed letter

roomy, tire-proof vault htted up
with steel safety deposit boxes Is
at the disposal of customers. The
burglar proof safe Is the finest
made, as is evidenced by the fact
that no burglar has ever been
able to open one OF them. 1t has
automatic bolts attached to the
round screw door, and there Is no
communication from the outside,
the bolts being operated and the
locking and unlocking done by
clock work inside the safe. The
institution reflects much credit on
the officials to whom the present
high standing and prosperity of

measure does it reflect credit on
our city and county, which our
people will not be slow to appreci-
stn.
The statement oe the
GRAPHIC, that All electric light
plant and a system of water works
that would pay running expenses
would do exceedingly we'll, called
forth some severe criticism from
those who were advocating water
works, for the reason tlat they
would not only pay expenses, but
woullyield an additional revenue,
that would finally liquidste the In
debtedness incurred in establish
ing them. In proof of assertions
statistics we've given from Macon
showing how profitable such an
investment had been to that city
The report of the chairman of the
finance committee of Macon's city
council, however, is not IN strlc
harmony with the arguments re
ferred to. But it does show tha
the GRAPHIC was right when /
st tsted that an electric light plan
and system of water works tina
would pay running expenses woult
do exceedingly we'll. The follow
ing is the report as published il
the Macon Republican of las
week:
CAS- chairman of the committe
on finance in presenting this re
port, | desire to call your attentio
to the condition of the city treas
ury and point out not only the ad
visibility, but the absolute neces
sit, for change from such rapi
expenditure of money to a systel
of rigid scrutiny and econom.
The money which we expect to rs
ceive in January next is now spe1
and more, too. There will not /
in the city treasury one dollar
: pay city expenses after January
1892, until July l, except what
J. collected from water and ligh
and that will not be sufficient

/ light plant, let alone the city go
