NIB. HOLMAN PROTESTS.

June 6, 1892, when the pending
appropriation bills showed about
$30,000,O0O less on their face than
when finally passed, Mr.. Holman, of
Indiana, chairman of the Committee
on Appropriations made a speech
made his fellow Democrats winces,
but did not reform them. His pro
tests is as follows:
The House having under consideration
the following resolution:
"Rasolved, that the House nonconcur
in the Senate amendments to House bill
1890, entitled AN act making appropri-
alton for the construction, repair, and
preservation of certain public works on
rivers and harbors and for other purposes,
and agree to the Senates request for a
conference thereon
Mr.. Holman said:
Mr.. Speaker: think it is very unfair
practice to restrict debate this way.
admit, however, that when gentlemen
feel that they have overwhelming
strength they are apt to disregard con-
siderations Of fairness.
Mr.. Speaker, have never appeared
before the House Of Representatives tc
address the Speaker either in time OF
peace or Of war, indulging the apprehen-
sions that feel this morning or SO OPP
pressed with anxiety and alarm. What
ever may be your views, gentlemen, the
vote to be taken now may gravely affect
| for the present at least the true interests
our country and the fate of the Demo-
cratic party. With this bill, or this bill
substantially, becoming law, how viii
our appropriations compare with those o.
the first session of the last Congress
which has been SO signally rebuked by
the people of this country?
AS the account stands between the pres
ent House and the last House of Repre-
sentatives our appropriations will pro
bobby reach $5O8, 100000 against $494,
100000 at the first session of the last Con
gress; a margin against us of $14, 600, 900
gentlemen, do you intend to ccnsum
mate this record?

stituents to stand up for frugal, plain
honest government. [ have held my
seat on this floor for more than quateI
of century upon that pledge; and it
violate it-speaking for myself, if | vol
ate that pledge may the Almighty smitt
my lips with eternal silence. Applause
I warn gentlemen that if this bill be-
comes a law as part Of this system OF
unexampled extravaganza we can moi
expect to receive public approval; and
gentlemen, when these Sc ats shall be fill
ed by others than ourselves, and when
hat most infamous of the measures car
ried through this House in the last Con
gress shall again come up for action,
when your ballot box both North and
South is in the hands of the Federal
officials, and the majesty and power of
the people of the States is under the heel
of Federal despotism, shall we be able to
stand before our Democratic constituents
without blushing? Shall we?

Rotten Egg Argument.

Often when men are in pursuit of
a certain end, upon finding out that
years of patient toll have been spent
in vain, they have been known to be
come desperate and STAY their fellow
men and even commit suicide in their
madness. Despair Is terrible thing.
It has caused men to commit almost
every crime in the catalogue.
Death is preferable to defeat with
some. To revenge themselves, hon
orable men have challenged their
opponents to the dueling grounds be-
cause they were not able physically
or mentally to cope with them upon
the rostrum or on the hustings; but
it has remained for the year 1892 to
develop a class of bipeds, the first

Watson and Lawson.
q. III. TURNER.
BISHOP, Ga. Au,

BISHOP, Ga, August 10.
The debate between Mr.. Watson
and Mr.. Lawson was very quiet and
agreeable. | propose to give the
facts. We do not want to carry our
points by disappearing things, as
some of the Democratic newspapers
have done in regard to the discussion
between Mr.. Watson and Mr.. Law
son at Bishop on the 18th of August.
Mr.. Watson and his accomplished
lady arrived at Bishop on the 1850
train, and 1t was met by large and
enthusiastic crowd of Peoples party
men, and also a goodly number of
ladies were present. There were
also about two hundred colored peo-
pie. The crowd was estimated at
about fifteen hundred or two thous-
and. 1t was a very easy matter to
size the strength of the Democrats.
All the Democrats that were present
wore badges; the Oconee Democrats
badges had the words g Oconee Dem
Gratis" Those in that mark were
very scarce, not over thirty or forty.
So you see how the county stands.
Noticing closely, 1 do not think there
was over one hundred and fifty Demo-
Gratis on the grounds. The Demo
Gratis expected to have Hoke Smith to
meet Mr.. Watson; but Mr.. Smith
did not come. So Judge Lawson
agreed to meet Mr.. Watson, and the

organized stock company, put in a
good plant, and securad the services
of Mr.. R. B. Goodwin, till now en-
ployed on the PEopLE's PARTY

within the days of grace. Mr.. Good

nounced, but the paper will be vigor-

that he is no halfway man, and will
keep the paper in the middle of the

A PIECE OF VTLLAINY.

If the farmers of Georgia discover
a report of the jag" committee do
ing service for the democrats, they
may not understand why the minor
ity report that should accompany it
is not part Of the publication made
at the expense Of the taxpayers.
The following, from the National
Waterman, clears the matter up:
The conspiracy to crush Hon. Tom
Watson eliminated in refusing to in
corporate the minority report Of Mr..
Simpsons in the printed report of
the investigation. It hardly seems
possible that political methods has
reached such desperate condition,
but such is the fact A printed
volume Of the testimony taken at the
investigation, together with the un-
fair and infamous report of the "cow-
ardly majority" has just been ob-
tanned, but the defense of Mr.. Wat
son by Hon. Jerry Simpson oonsti-
tuting the minority report does not
appear. 1t is also stated that large
number Of this document are to be
sent into Mr.. Watson's district.
Such action leaves no room for doubt
as to the miserable INSCRIPTIONS
methods that are being put forth to
destroy the leaders Of the Peoples
party. When the proper authorities
were asked as to the facts in the mat
ter, they said that after waiting
nearly two days for the report of
Mr. Simpson, Speaker Crisp was ap-
prised of the fact, and asked what to
do. He ordered the report to be
sent up without the views of the
minority. This shows that Mr.. Crisp
was a party to this infamous proceed
ing. When asked where the report
was, and why withheld, the reply
was evasive, but the inference drawn
that it was given q drunken clerk in
the file clerks department at the
House, VINO mlsla1d 1t. Inc report
Of Mr.. Simpsons was the first one
handed in. It was put out of the
way for some reason, and the
Speaker Of the House ordered an in
complete report made without at,
tempting to look up the alleged lost
document. This is matter that
should stir the blood of any fair
minded man, and should nerve every
true reformer to renewed efforts to
clean out that nest Of boodlers, buns
and corporation thieves. Here is
deliberate attempt to destroy the
character Of an honest man just be-
cause he CHANGED to call things by
their right names. But to have the
head and front Of this conspiracy the
Speaker of the House, as it now
seems he is, should cause the cry Of
shame to come up from all quarters.

Assistant Secretary of the Treasu-
ry Nettleton, in a letter, gives the
total bond purchases from the begin
ming of CIevelaud's administration to
the present year, at $597,168,5OO, at
a cost to the government of $657-
581,573. Thus the premium paid is
shown to have been S6O,413,O73. 1t
will be remembered that r. Q. Mills,
of Texas, introduced the measure in
Che House, authorizing this bond
purchase, and that the Democrats

known to history, who were SO low
bred, so entirely foreign to all that
goes to make up q good citizen, who
attempt to avenge their dis honor,
relieve their despair and answer ar
gument and facts by throwing rotten
eggs at an honorable opponent.
Their case is certainly desperate.
The latter years of the nineteenth
century are certainly developing
some rare BIRDS.
The speakers of the Peoples Par
ty have recently been pelted with
rotten eggs in Georgia and Ala
bama and Arkansas. They were all
honorable men. When | read the
accounts of it, blushed with shame.
| took myself to looking glass, and
after few sober thoughts, | ex-
claimed to myself, Are you Geor-
gian? turned away without an
answer, yet, my gray-haired father
and mother are native Georgians
and I was conceived and brought
forth among her red old hills, and
love and cherish every memory con-
nected Herewith.
1t is disgrace to the State,it SLAM
ders the names of such men as Ben
Hill and Alex. Stephens, to have
such vagabonds cucumber Georgia
soil as threw eggs at Col.W. L. Peek,
our beloved candidate for governor,
who will soon don the robe so lately
worn by Alex. Stephens, Georgia's
greatest statesman.
"Whom the gods would destroy
they first make mad.' Truly these
rotten egg disciples are desperate.
When the Peoples Party speak
ers prove that the cowardly Demo-
cratic majority of the present Con-
gress sold out toWall street and kill
ed the silver bill, the Democrats an
swer the argument and facts with
eggs.
When they are arraigned for in
competency to legislate and general
worthlessness they howl, "Force
Bill" and throw another egg.
When they are asked why they
pigeon holed the sub-treasury bill
and did not report it till the very
last day of the session, when they
knew there would be no time to dis
cuss it, they cry out, unconstitution-
al, and throw another egg.
When asked how it is that at the
beginning Of the session of this Con-
gress they so roundly denounced the
billion dollar Congress, and went
right on and were even more ex-
travagant, they cry out ''Pensions!
pensionsv' and throw another egg.
So it goes all the way through.
They are just simply not in it
when the boys meet them on the
stump-not further than their eggs
go.
That's right, give them the facts
and figures; make life miserable for
the towards. The Farmers ALI
ance has been educating you for the
last five years for just such work.
Let rotten eggs, lies, SANDER and
fly thick and fast, but 90
right on with those arguments, back
ed up with the facts, and you will
receive your reward when the ides
Of November roll around.

to inform you, officially, that into
your worthy and capable hands, by

And with this for our motto
" Equal rights to all, and special

and the fruits Of their labors. And
we trust, with due reverence to our
God, in the success of our cause upon
the principles Of jnstice and right.

In seeming ignorance and good
faith the Ashburn Advance makes
che statement that certain resolu-
lions published in the Constitution as
having been adopted by a local
meeting of Republicans in Atlanta
were passed by the State Republican
convention. The resolutions in ques-
ton were never adopted in any pub
lie meeting in Atlanta, and it seems
that the Constitution was imposed
upon. No public meeting was held
at the time stated in the local by any
considerable number Of colored men
in Atlanta. No such meeting has
declared for the Democratic ticket.
Mrs. Watson accompanied Mr..
Watson to Bishop, August 18. The
-assemblage to welcome them con-
tanned many ladies, whose interest
in the movement for reform is not a
whit less than that of the true men
Of Georgia. The ladies had prepared
basket of exquisite flowers, which
were presented with the following
note:

Peoples cause, and to the devoted
little woman whose help he so mag
unanimously acknowledges, his wife,

presented by the

odd orders sent in by customers, some
OF which are quite amusing, says
writer in Frank Leslie's, and some of
them, too, sent in by matrons who ought
to know better.
A St. Charles street lodging house
keeper sends for ''desecrated" soap for
"dessicated'' soap, "Micsy Rooney" for

"dromedary" sugar for Demerara sugar,

and "matter-o'-fact" peas. "Gordon's

into ''worsted" sauce. 1t was rather
hard to interpret half pound of ''taffy

was not sent back.

CAPTURED WITH a WHIP.
, How an Adirondack Farmer Took n
Bear.

. How an Adirondack Farmer Took a
Bear.
An Adirondack farmer discovered that
a bear was prowling around his pig pen,
and from the tracks he judged it to be a
small bear, perhaps yearling. One
evening. on returning from the neigh.
boring village, he saw the marauder
plainly outlined in the moonlight. Step
ping back in the shadow, he cut a blue
beech "ox gad" the length of an ordi-
nary fish pole, and with this weapon he
started for the bear. The bear turned
at the sight of the man, and received a
cut on the nose that brought tears to its
eyes. Another clip brought it's nose
down between its forelegs, and every
time 1t raised its head down came the
gad on the same spot. In vain poor
bruln tried to run away; the man was
active as cat, and handled the whip
ike a ring master. At last the bear
started for the smokehouse, onlv too
glad to get out Of range of the castipa-
tion, and there it was safely barred in
until morning, when it was shot. It's
not to be supposed that an old. full
grown bear could be captured In that
way, but the feat was certainly very
remarkable.

Cheese and Digestion.

The gourmand runs considerable risk
in carrying his love of high living to
the extent which generally character
ICES him, says st. Louis Globe Demo
crat correspondent. Not only in eating
cheese, whish he likes in a state against
which a less aristocratic stomach
would revolt, but in venison and other
game does he stand chance of bring
ing his career to sudden termination.
Cheese is particularly dangerous when
in high" condition. In Limburyer,
as in other cheeses which have become
deconposed, there is often a vegetable
poison called ptomzines, which resem-
bles arsenical poisoning in it's effects.
1t is attended By a burning of tho
throat, intense pain in the stomac h, and
longing for ice or anything which
will allay the suffering caused by tho
infamed and parched condition of the
throat. The epicure, if wise, will learn
to curb his aristocratic appetite.

found by the Egypt explo ration fund
workers, in 1891, were two large frag-
ments of an inscribed red granite col

Rameses H., or about 1900 B. c., and
have just been presented to the Archeo-

another object from the same temple
a sitting statue Of Rameses H., of

SAVED EY LAUGHTER.

Joker.

The Peace of n City Preserved by a jolly
Joker.
1t was in 1868, after battle, and the
streets of Madrid were filled with
angry crowds bent on destroying every
thing and everybody. Suddenly an un-
known man, tall and dark and strong,
appeared at the city hall. "Give me a
band of musicians" he said, "and be-
fore nightfall I shall control all Mad
rid." He must have been a man of rare
personality to have been able to per-
suade the authorities at all in that dark
hour to give him anything of the kind.
but he did. Going out with the mu-
sicians he wandered through the town.
While they played he sang folk songs
or some national air. When these
bored the people he mounted old boxes
and told funny stories, and by and by
the people forgot to be angry, followed
their new leader wherever he went.
laughing over his stories and songs.
BY nightfall peace reigned in the city
and the mob broke up and went home TO
bed. The mans name was Felipe Ducazel
and he was only twenty-five years old
when he did this clever thing. We hear
a great deal about heroic things in saw
ing countries by long and terrible
rides at night, or by the sacrifice Of
ones self by dying in somebody's
stead, but few of us remember before
OF anyone who saved town by
laughter
