THE colored people OF Atlanta paid
last year into the city treasury $l6O
in taxes, and the cost of the schooling
of the 2,124 colored children in the
public schools was $29,694. That
leaves the white citizens to pay $12,.
coo for educating the colored children,
and. they practically pay the pro rata
share of the negroes in Atlanta for all
other governmental purposes. The
most rabid Republican cannot say
that the negroes do not get their jus!
dues in Democratic Atlanta,

BRUSSELS, Dec. 18.-After Di Renzi's
motion, proposed at the monetary con-
ference yesterday, Senator Allison made
a speech in behalf of the United States
delegation. He laid emphasis upon
the fact that throughout the debste no.
body suggested that either OF the money
metals be discarded, and said: .'We
think it wise to resume the delibera-
tions after recess. Any agreement at
which the conference might arrive
would probably require large conces-,
eions on our part. It is therefore
natural that the Democratic admiuistra.
ton, which is about to come into
Office in the United States, and upon
which the responsibility for such action
would fall, should have an opportunity
to direct the course OF the United States
delegates
Bertram Currie of the British delega-.
tion objected to the reass milling OF the
conference, on the ground that as three
previous monetary conferences had
failed, there was little prospect OF the
present one being success.
Sir c. Rivers Wilson Of the British
delegation concurred in the opinion.
Senator Allison said it was understood
that the governments OF all the nat ons
concerned, including the United States,
should reserve to themselves absolute
independence in their respective mon
etary policies during the recess of the
conference.
d. Renzi's proposal was then adopted
and the conference adjourned.
