TUESDAY, :
Our Pensioners.

There are now on the pension
rolls of this country $4,000 PEN
sioners, at an annual cost Of $780,
100000. The number OF pension
ers is constantly increasing, not
withstanding the numbers which
annually drop of by death, and no
one can tell how many more are to
be added to the list, or what the
aggregate cost to the country will
ultimately be. It is computed that
in 1895 the pensioners will cost the
the government 100000, 900
These facts and figures were brought
out in the Senate, on Wednesday,
during the consideration OF the PEN
sion appropriation bill. They are
simply appalling, and demand the
most serious consideration OF the
legislative branch Of the govern
ment.

suspended publication, owing to q

requires something more than

finding it out. The Progress is not
a new enterprise, but like many

it takes something more substantial
than promises to make a successful

Kolb and His Faction.

Il was expected that Mr.. Kolb, who ran
against Gov. Jones last August, and who
was defeated by about 10000 majority,
would make some sort Of protest when Gov.
Jones was inaugurated. The Inauguration
took place last Thursday, and nothing was
heard of Mr.. Kolb or his faction.
Mr.. Kolb had been claiming ever since
the election that he had majority of As
900, and there were reports to the effect that
his faction intended TO inaugurate him gov
ernor on the same day that Gov. Jones was
inaugurated.
Mr.. Kolb came to the conclusion probably
that he was mistaken In regrad to the num-
Der Of votes he received. No doubt he was
told some wonderful stories about ballot
box stufflng and false counting, bub 1t is
doubtful il any proof could be obtained in
support of them. Gov. Jones said FREE
quently that il he had any doubt about his
election he would not accept the Office and
there is no reason to doubt he was sincere.
He did not desire second term. He
was prevailed upon to accept a renomina-
ton by prominent democrats who believed
that he, better than any other man, could
keep democrats from joining the Peoples
party. and who were satisfied that the pros
perity Of the state depended upon the con-
tinued supremacy of the Democratic party
The legislature will give Gov. Jones a
hearty support. There is no probability
that it will listen to any proposition relative
to the office of governor that Mr.. Kolb may
mako, or give him any encouragement if he
should seek TO disturb the existing condition
of affairs. The governorship question may
be considered a. practically settled And

''Shine or shadow, summer or spring

And laughing eyes-we three she'll bring
Each an offering. passing fair"
The little one did not un ierstand,
But they bent aud kissed the dimpled hand.

Sharing the little ones mirth and song;

Poppy came, bringing the sweetest dreams,
Playing and dreaninR-that was all,
Till % &c the sleeper would not wake;
Kissing'the little face under the pail,
We thought of the words the third flower

And we found, betimes, in hallowed spot
The solacs and peace of forgst-me-not.
Buttercup shareth the Joy OF day,
Glinting with gold the hours of play;

Doctors and Diplomas.

II the bill which passed the Senate a day
OF two ago, providing that doctors, before
they can get license TO practice medicine,
must have q certificate from board Of ply
sicians established by the state. becomes a
law, a diploma from a medical college will
not entitle doctor &c the right to practice
his profession in this state. The bill passed
the Senate by a very large majority, not
withdrawing the fact that IL was earnestly
opposed by a few senators.
The bill was Introduced into the Senate
by request Of the Atlanta Medical College,
and it has the support Of some of the lead
ing physicians Of that city. There does not
seem to be any good reasons why it shouldn't
become law. Physicians who are
thoroughly prepared for their professional
work would have nothing 20 fear from it.
Only those who lack the necessary quAlifica-
tions would be forced out OF the profession,
or be compelled to give additional time 70
study
The bill assumes that there are men prae-
ticing medicine in different parts Of the
state who are likely to do more harm than
good to those who employ them,
and it is probable that this as
sumption is not violent one.
The men who virtually have the lives
of the people In their hands ought at least

Not very long ago it was discovered that
bogus diplomas were being issued by
man in Philadelphia. Without such a law
as is proposed man holding one Of these
diplomas could engage in the practice Of
medicine. And there are men who succeed
in getting genuine diplomas who ought not
20 have them. The bill is not aimed at ply

sion, but at those who a~s unified to deal

Mr.. Watson's Contes :.

Mr.. Watson's friends had a meeting at
Thomson on Friday and contributed $500
toward a fund to assist him In contesting
Mr.. Blacks right to represent the Tenth
district in the next congress.
1t is hardly probable that Mr.. Watson
expects the contest of which he has given
notice will be successful, but 1t will give
him an opportunity to attract attention to
himself, and he thinks. doubtless, that it
will help him in the race for congress which
he purposes to make in 1894.
There is pretty strong probability that
Mr.. Watson will not be shown much CON-
sideration by the next congress, and he may
not be permitted to serve out his
term in this. There exists q very bitter
feeling in congress against him, owing to
the general charge OF drunkenness which he
brought against it in bis book, and when
the report Of the committee which investi-
gated the charge, and which declared 1t TO
be unfoundSd, is brought up for action,
resolution, it is thought, will be introduced
to expsl him.
Unless the feeling in regard to Mr.. Wat
son has changed greatly a resoiu ton Of
that sort would pass in all probability.
Mr.. Watson is amusing himself firing
snap shots through the columns of
his paper AZ Mr.. Black and some others
who opposed him 10 the recent campaign.
II the alleged purpose Of the House is car
ried out he will not find it so easy a matter
to amuse himself.
1t is probable that Mr.. Watson regrets
making his charge of drunkenness against
congress so sweeping. The older members
of that body agree in saying that there is
much less heavy drinking in this congress
than in any previous congress of recent
years.
The report of the committee In the Wat
son investigation is one OF the first things
that will be considered after congress meets,
and it will be known pretty soon. therefore,
whether or not Mr.. Watson will be per-
mitted to retain his seat during the remain.

Opposed to the sugar Bounty.

Opposed to the sugar Bounty.
The Louisiana sugar planters are ex-
tremely hostile to ths sugar bounty. 1t is
announced that the Louisiana Sugar Plant
ers' Association will send a strong delega-
ton to Washington at the beginning Of the
next congress.
The sugar bounty gives them 2 cents a
pound on the sugar they produce. They
say they are willing to accept a duty Of ~
cents pound. They would much prefer 1t
to the bounty.
They don't get the bounty promptly.
Very often they have to wait at least six
months for it. In the meantime they have
to borrow money at per cent interest to
meet their obligations. They complain OF
the government inspection. 1t is very an
noying. 1t must necessarily be. And it
places the planters on footing with the
whisky distillers. That they do not like.
They claim that the duty was removed
from sugar to favor the sugar manufact-
urers, all OF, whom are in the north. They
do not point out the way in which the man
ufacturers are able to make a greater profit
than they did when there was a duty on
sugar but they are satisfied that the man
ufacturers do make greater profit.
They do not want to embarrass the
Democratic party in its work Of reforming
the tariff, and, hence, when congress is
ready to deal with the question they will
simply present sugar as a good article to
tax In order to raise the necessary revenue.
Sugar planting does not appear to be very
profitable in Louisiana under existing cons
a.. -ln h. 10 Ill
duced 100000 pounds Of sugar last year
had a profit of only $4,000, and this in
cluded the bounty. The cost OF producing
the sugar was $705,0
The beet sugar growers have not yet been
heard from. 1t is not known whether or
not they are satisfied with the bounty. The
number of them is increasing all the time,
and the amount Of sugar they now produce
is quite large.
The maple sugar producers are, OF course,
satisfied with the bounty. They were not
benefited by the sugar tax. 1t is rather re-
markable that they were made benehciaries
Of the bounty law. There is no good reason
why they should have been. They have no
competition from abroad. The bounty was
profit they never had thought Of receiv-
ing until the Mckinley bill was introduced
into congress.
II the duty were restored there would, of
course, be an advance in the price Of sugar,
but the people would get rid Of paying the
$40 900, 900 now distributed in bounties.
The question has been RAISED that the
bounty is fifteen years contract.
which the government cannot break. II
congress and the planters agree to break it
there will be very little opposition to abol-
ishing the bounty.
