THE COMPULSORY SCHOOL LAWS.

The question of the compulsory educa-
ton law, which has been burning ques-
tion since the Lutherans made an issue
against 1t in the election of 1890, is causing
the delegates much anxiety. Some propose
to do as the Democrats did-adopt a plank
demanding its repeal. Those who were
prominent in securing the passage of the
bill oppose this. They say It would stultify
the party aud that they propose to demand
It's retention with amendments which will
not interfere with religious sects, but will
insist on the education of all children
in the common branches and in the
English language, whether. in parochia,
private or public schools. There will un-
douotedly be a warm fight over this mat
ter, and interest is intensified by the fact
the Illinois German Lutheran synod in
session in Chicago to-day adopted resolu-
tons demanding the unconditional repeal
OF the law and that members of the church
! should vote only for the candidate of that
party which includes such plank in it's
platform and whose statements and &C
lions on the matter are satisfactory to a
committee to be appointed by the synod.

WEE ANTI-BLAINE STONES.

1t has been alleged that Blaine has passed
his oldest and nearest friends on the street
without recognizing them. In other words,
Blaine has been made out to be an old
broken down, decrepit man, utterly incap-
able of performing the duties of President.
Mr. Blaine's friends have no doubt of the
source of these stories. Most of them, they
say, can be traced directly to the White
House Mr.. Harrison, they declare, is re-
sponsible for the starting and circulation of
these false reports. But Mr.. Blaine himself
is not satisfied that the President is the
author or is responsible for their publ
cation. TO friend who mentioned the
subject to the secretary of state in WASH
ington, Mr.. Blaine expressed the greatest
indignation and gave signs OF laboring IN
der the greatest excitement.

The Combine Against Harrison.

Especial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch.
New YORK, May 3.-The World says:
Since the adjournment of the Republican
state convention the anti-Harrison Repub
licans in this state have been seeking to
form combination with some one to down
the President. While the Platt and Miller
men have agreed to act together to prevent
the denomination of MIR. Harrison at Min
neapolis. they have not united upon any
particular candidate 10 support in the con-
yention against the President.
A CONFERENCE OF ANTI HARRISON LEADERS.
Arrangements are being made to hold a
conference of all the leaders of anti Harri-
son men very soon. probably within the
next fortnight, either in Washington,
Philadelphia or in this city. Then it may
be determined upon whom to combine. Mr.
Platt is said to be nursing the Blaine
shadow. He is declared TO be making all
his plans and arrangements to revive the
Blaine boom at the proper time. 1t is
known here that Mr.. Blaine is greatly In
censed at the President for what he be-
lieves to be his systematic and persistent
attempt to misrepresent his condition TO
the people. Some of these reports have
even gone so far as to make Mr. Blaine
out mentally unsound and victim of gen.
eral paresis. His memory Is represented
to be failing to the extent that he cannot
recall from day to day the routine business
OF the cabinet, and other trivial things.

The BUILDING Is DONE.
THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH is co M-

Southwest Georgia.

A Congregation that VIII Soon Be Able So
Worship in the Handsomest Church i'm
Southwest Georgia.
The last nail has been driven in the
new Baptist church, and to-day the
building stands model of architect
ure and credit to the people who bulk
it.
Work was begun last May, and the
building is constructed of brick and
stone.
The large lot is now being put in good
condition, and in about two weeks the
new church will be occupied for the fira4
time.
The new building was erected because
of the heavy growth of the congregation,
and the bad condition of the old church.
When it was decided to build. new
church building committee was ap-
pointed consisting of Messrs. w. G. Pas
chal, K. L. Melton, B. Fl. Hood, w. r.
Lcke and j. NJ. Griggs. These gentlomsR
went to work, and in remarkably short
length OF time $4,000 was subscribed ~
members of the congregation.
1t was then decided to build on the
northwest corner of the lot, and less thaa
nine months ago ground was first be
ken.
The work was pushed radidIy forward,
and to-day stands ready for occupancy
with the exception of the chairs. wbich
are enroute here.
The new church will be dedicated. OF
The first Sunday of next month, and ar
engagements for the time and minute
preparations are now under way.
1t will undoubtedly prove an eyentful
occasion in the history of the Dawson
Baptist church.

there is still no apology, the assurance is
that our Government may dictate the

Of course, this vii put an end to all

now in such an attitude that the United
States cannot strike her, although we do
not see how the American people can
avoid entertaining feeling of profound
contempt for Chill and the Chilians.

Pass Through Dawson on an Inspecting
Tour.
Last Friday Mr.. G w. Chears, the gen.
eral manager of the Columbus Southern
Railway, passed through Dawson in COM
pany with Major w. F. Shellman.
The object of their visit was tour of
inspection over the road and confer
ence with the employees along the line.
This was occasioned from the fact that
Maj. Shellman is to succeed Mr.. Chears
as general manager of the road on Feb
ruary LIST, and was simply acquainting
hims alf with the road and becoming ia
miliar with the different departments.

HOULDER HITTING REMARKS BY A

Writes Interestingly About Interest

A recent New England court decision
says that damned is not crossword, |
and I therefore take advantage of the ex-
pletive to give voice to my utmost con-
tempt for certain class who cannot be
more literally described than in the con-
else illiterative of the heading hereonto
appended.
/ am not farmer by dependence nor
merchant, nor a supply dealer, nor an
Office seeker, nor any of that forlorn class
who can find consolation in blaming
the balance of mankind for the ills which
beset me, nor in hosting my own patard
as the rallying bazoo of safety.
*.*
But for the serious situation, which
all SdblSlICU GAlSOS, liA6Ul1N NlAASAI
are being done in the name of the farm
ers and as an offerative to the appeasing
of agricultural distress would aptly sug-
gest to my melancholy disposition the
sublimity of button-busting, roaring
farce.
When hear a trifling vagabond whose
begrimmed linen knows not the stain of
honest sweat, berating the lack of agri-
cultural industry, 1 grieve because my
legs have not the kicking power of a
jack-ass.
When | hear the sweetly reflective
voice of a small seller of wares and wear
ing apparel, with the dung-heap of the
barn yet gently lending its aroma to the
suggestiveness of his nativity, asserting
sympathy for the farmers as a preroga-
tive to a harsh criticism of their worth
lessness and dishonesty, satire loses the
force Of it's cau5tic combination.

Let the farmer first study how much
he can avoid buying, by studying how
much he can make to supply his needs.
1t is not so much the quantity of cot

it is the proportion of that cotton which

Spending Public Money

When you examine the figures of the
last Houses--one Democratic and the
other Repubcan-and charge off to each
the rebates which belong to each. you
will find that the last Democratic House
voted the expenditure of S33S OH ,972,
just $50, 1884, more than it's predecessor
also Democratic; that the last Republican
house voted the expenditure Of S9is 800
73f, an increase Of sll0, 1872 1852 over the
last Democratic house. The net increase,
for which II has no Democratic precedent
was therefore S24 703 ,949. 1nasmuch as
the United States was two years older and
two years bigger, this would not be bad
showing on general principles; tut the
fact that the Fifty FIRST Congress appro-
prlated two hundred and eighty eight mil
lions for PENSIONS against the Fiftieth.
accounts for every cent of increase over
the votes of the last Democratic house.
aud If there Is any blame to be attributed
to Us for giving this large sum, 1t cannot
be made by the party which has Just made
Judge Holman Chairman of Appropria-
tlOns, while on the records of Congress
itself rests the proof that this chosen
representative Of retrenchment and re-
form voted to double the very increase
about which there has been so much un
disciplined outcry. Undoubtedly some
decreases are possible for the present
House. They will find many honest debts
of the United States paid and liquidated
which will never have to be paid again
The Navy will not have to ask as much as
during the last two years, and perhaps the
Sundry Civil Bill will bear reduction.
But the legislative and judicial expenses
are likely to increase, as well as proper
demands of the postal service. What.
ever course be pursued, if the country
really cares about its expenditures, the
people ought to be on the watch against
the substitution Of parsimony for econ
omy, and against that Legislative man
eouvring which lessons the expenses of
the year before election by thrusting them
upon the year sitter election.-The Hon
Thomas b. Reed, in North American Re-
view for March
