THAT "FoRETGN WOMAN.v
Spanish Subjects Dislike Queen Christina
and May Revolt.

MADRID. April 1.-THE Government has
sent a force of troops to strengthen the gar
rison at Bilbao, the capital of Biscay. where
the local authorities have been thrown into
a panic by the receipt OF letters menaclng
them with all kinds of violence.
In some OF these communications addressed
10 the prefect. and all OF them anonymous.
threats are made that the churches aud other
public buildings would be- destroyed with
dynamite. and mysterious hints are made OF
a coming deliverance from the yoke OF the
foreign woman" as she Is called. who now
rules over Spain. The Government Is not
sure that these menacing mlssives are sent by
ordinary Anarchists.
1t Is known that Bilbao has many Carlist
sympathizers who detest Queen Christina
and would seize at any opportunity to arouse
another Carlist revolt In Blscay. and the Gov
ernment is anxious 10 find out whether a mo.
tive of this kind is behind the alleged An
archist threats In order 10 guard against
any contingency both the civil and military
authorities at Bilbao have been urged TO spe.
cial vigilance. and are being put III readiness
to meet any uprising with prompt and encr.
getlc repression.

The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-05-25

II would be a good thing for every
newspaper in the state to send copy
regularly to each Of the two United
States senator's, and to the represen-
tative from its district. The press
would thus WELD a far greater indu-
ence than it now does. IL may be
quito true Of most Mississippi editors
that their bodily presence is weak
aud their speech contemplate but
it is also true that a frank expression
of their opinions in print would have
no small weight with our congress-
men. There can be no doubt that
an outspoken condemnation, by the
press,of the outrageous extravaganza
in which the present congress is in
dulging would make our Lawmakers
much more cautious how they vote
away the peoples money on war
ships and other useless luxuries. In
accordance with this belief, the Rev.
ellie has put senators George and
Walthall, and representative Hooker
on its free list; and it advises its con-
temporaries to follow the example.
The Port Gibson reveille. [volume] (Port Gibson, Miss.) 1890-current, 1892-05-25

The house of representatives, with
its great democratic majority, is fol.
lowing IN the footsteps Of its repub-
lican predecessor in the matter Of ex.
trayagant appropriations. Il is, in
fact, surprising the record of the
"billion-dollar congress. As the
Times-Democrat points out, that con-
gress appropriated in the first session
e463, 900, 900 all told; while the pres
ent house, through its committees,
has recommended the passage of bills
(some Of which have already passed),
carrying appropriations to the huge
amount of s4s6, 900, 900. That journ-
al does not think it possible that at
this stage of the proceedings, these
contemplated expenditures can be re-
duced by more than $4,000, 900 at
the outside. In that case the demo-
Gratis would be responsible for great
er extrayagance than the preceding
congress had to answer for. A beau
tiful record, truly, for a body Of
"reformers !"
But the Times-Democrat gives no
reason for its belief that retrench-
ment can not be carried beyond re-
duction Of siO,0OO,OOO. More than
tat might be taken from the river
and harbor bill alone, which autho-
rizes expenditures aggregating near
ly s50,OOO,OOO. II anything of the
kind is attempted, however, the very
papers that are now SO ready to criti-
cize congress for its extravaganza,
would clamor Justify against cutting
off a single dollar from this sacred
bill. They advise economy in gen.
eral, but object to it in particular.

Georgia FOR Cleveland.

The Cleveland men won a sweep
ing victory in the Georgia democrat
ic convention last week. The oppo-
sition was active and ably managed,
but nothing could be done to stem
the tidal wave in favor Of the New
Yorker. OF the twenty-six delegates
chosen to attend the national conven-
tion in Chicago next month, nine
teen or twenty are ardent Clevo-
land men, and this fact makes Geor-
gia sure for the ex-president, though
the delegates we're left uninstructed.
A resolution was passed expressing
confidence in Mr.. Cleveland, indors-
ing his administration, and recogniz-
ing him as the great leader in the
cause OF tariff reform.
For some months passed, the anti
Cleveland agitation, led BY the At
lanta Constitution, had been very
loud-mouthed; but 1t now appears to
have been all sound and fury, signi-
flying nothing. The Hillites we're
completely routed.

Of about fifteen thousand. Wn

of the county is rolling pine land,
thin, but free and productive, easily
cultivated and susceptible of high
state of Improvement Much Of II
is thickly studded with long.I Leaf
pine. Some of II is level prairie.
some reedbrake and some basin
lands. The principal natural growth
is pine, oak, hickory, sweet gum,
poplar and magnolia. Cotton in
our principal money crop, though
everything else adapted 10 this cli-
mate does we'll. Nearly everything
needed for home consumption can
be raised in abundance, though for
several years wheat has been aban-
d0ned on account oil rust. Ono
hundred bushels of corn and one
and-a-half bales OF cotton per acre
have been grown on the intensive
Rystem, though the average, with
out fertilizers is far btIOw this.
Tho recent decline in cotton has
somewhat demoralizcd our folks.
We are passing through a school of
experience worth far more 10 the
country than a thousand Memphis
conventions, in reducing cotton n
creage and diversifying Southern
agriculture. "This is the country
for poor man, " says Mr.. McNahei.
of Arkansas. Well, ii may be ;
but some of my friends went over
there TO hunt for a better country,
and those who were ablo to return
did so, and are satisfied to remain
here. This, too, is a good poor
mans country. Ifproof is demand
ed, / state that many of us, after
years of hard labor, are still poor,
with n prospect ol remaining so.
This county, probably, would bo
willing TO exchange a few hundred
poor cotton raisers for on equal
number of Mr.. McMahel's poor i'm
migrants who have grown rich.
Our people are moral, social, in
telligent and industrious. We have
numerous churches of the various
denominations, and most of them
are well attended. Our education
al interests are abreast with tho
times. We have seven chartered
schools, some of high grade, and
public Tree schools,
which are run at least four months
in each year. These public schools
are taught by one hundred and six
teachers, whose salaries range from
twelve TO fifty dollars p0r month.
There will be thirteen thousand dol
lars of public funds expended on
these schools this year, besides tho
private funds in the high schools.
We need q few immigrants with
Yankee push and get-up 10 help us
out of the old ruts into new chan
nels and methods of agriculture.
TO such we ho!J out both hands of
welcome, no matter what their po-
Iitical or religious faith may be.
We only ask that they make US
good citizens and neighbors.-S II.
