TO HELP THE SOUTH.
And We Badly Need Thousands
of the Best Immigrants.

SAVANNAH, Ca, Nov. 23.-Arrange-
ments are being made for meeting Of
the presidents of all the southeastern
railways in Atlanta, Dec. 3, to take for
NAL action with regard to a direct trade
project from Southern ports, and to con-
slider what facilities for transportion
and what traffic rates can be given to
induce a sufficient amount of traffic to
supply line of steamships running from
southeastern ports to Liverpool and
other European ports.
Col. T. P. Stovall is authority for the
statement that English capitalists are
willing to establish line of steamships
to European ports provided they receiv-
ed assurances from the railroads that
will give guarantee Of freight for their
ships. They perceive the opportunities
for development and i'll case Of an invest.
ment will bring over large colonies OF
immigrants to improve lands which they
are desirous of purchasing.
If the project does not tail either Sa-
vannah or Brunswick will be the port OF
entry.

A WORTHY CASE
VINO Will Aid This Little Girl al
the Hospital

There is case at the Mission hos
pit al which offers opportunity for some
ones benevolence. A little girl, blind for
ten years, with cataract in both eyes.
has recently undergone a successful op-
Grafton in one eye, whereby the sight is
restored. The small sum required fer
board at the hospital (she being from
another county, is exhausted, and she
will be under the necessity of returning
to her home, only half cured, unless help
is obtained. The medical attention
costs her nothing and the sum of S12 Or
SIS will be ample to pay all expenses
while under treatment, and buy her a
pair of glasses, which is absolutely nee
essary. An investigation of this case at
the hospital by those interested will sat
isfy all of the worthiness of the case.

MR.. CATCHINGS' OPINION
HE WOULD REPEAL THE Nc
KINLEY TARIFF BILL.
He Would Also Extend the Free
List Materially and Restore the
Duty ON Sugar-He Also FavOrs
An Extra Session of Congress.

An Extra session of Congress.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-Mr. Catch
ings, a leading member Of the House
Committee ON Rules, is now in Washing
ton. He is quoted in an interview as
expressing the belief that the present
Congress will do nothing to lessen the
burdens of the incoming administration
and that the new Congress will be COM
PEELED to take necessary steps to increase
the revenues. He does not believe that a
revision Of the tariff can be successfully
undertaken during the special session,
but he does hold that in special session
the new Congress might ,, ,operly repeal
the Mckinley act. thus restoring the
duties of 1888 That would wipe out
the sugar bounties, effecting saving OF
$4,000. 900 annually, and, at the same
time, by restoring the sugar duties add
about $50 100000 to the annual reve-
nues making the total increase Of reve.
nues approximate 65,000,0OO.
This increase, Catcllings feels, would
prevent any deficiency until after the
next regular session and possibly for a
longer period.
Catchings would also pass the scpa,
rate tariff bills that were passed last
session by the House only to remain un
acted upon by the Senate, and he would
also add lumber and salt to the free list
The reduced prices of the necessaries ot
lite secured by the repeal Of the McKin
ley bill would, according to his reason
ing, reconcile the people to the reimposi
tion of the sugar duties.
He favors an early special session o
Congress; thinks that Crisp will be re,
elected speaker without a protracted
struggle, and believes that the pension
roll could be revised with profit.
Catchings says there is no danger ol
wild cat money" in the passage of a
bill to remove the tax on State banks cir
culation, and he favors that bill if States
are obliged to insure these banks o
| issues.
He also favors the admission, as
States, Arizona and New Mexico, and
local government for Utah and Okla
homa. So far as this Congress is con
cerned lie thought it would do no more
than pass the regular annual appropri

AmerIca,s Birthday.

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-Tbe following
proclamation, making October q a gen
eral holiday, was issued by the President
| to-day;
Whereas, BY joint resolution approved
! June -, 1892 it was resolved by the Senate
and House Of Representatives Of the United
I States Of America in Congress assembled
'.that the President of the United States be
authorized and directed to issue proclama-
tiOn recommending 10 the people the
observance in all their localities of the four
hundredth anniversary of the discovery Of
America. on the 2lst day Of October, 1892.
by public demonstration and by suitable ex-
ercises in their schools and other places Of
assembly"
NOW, therefore, I Benjamin Harrison,
President Of the United States of America, in
pursuance Of the aforesaid joint resolution,
DO hereby appoint Friday, october q, 1892,
the four hundredth anniversary of the
discovery Of America by Columbus, as a
general holiday for the people of the United
States. On that day let the people, 50 far as
possible, cease from toll and devote them
selves 10 such exercises as may best express
honor to the discoveIer and their appreci-
alton Of the great achievements Of the four
completed centuries Of American life.
Columbus stood in his age as the pioneer
Of progress and enlightenment. The system
Of universal education is in our. age the
most pro minent and salutory feature of the
spirit Of enlightenment, and it is peculi-
rally appropriate that the schools be made by
the people the center Of the days demon
stration. Let the National flag float over
every school house in the country, and the
exercises be such as shall impress upon our
youth the patriotic duties of American
citizenship.
In the churches and in the other places of
assembly Of the people let there be express
sions Of gratitude to Divine Providence for
the deyout faith Of the discoverer and for
the divine care and guidance which has di-
reeted our history and 50 abundanily
blessed our people.

Wages at Homestead.

There is only one term that describes the
persistent Democratic assertion that the
trouble at Homestead is due to Starvation
wages 1t is falsehOod, as deliberate as it
is magliguant. The proposed change in the
payment of wages at the Carnegie mills,
while It would undoubtly slightly reduce
the wages Of some of the employees, would
maintain those ofthe great majority at their
present high standard. In some cases even
an actual advance in pay would be the II
suit The leader of the strikers, Hugh
0'DOnnel, admits that the proposed changes
would effect only about 325 men oct OF 500;
and the fact that the strikers do not CON
slider the proposed changes in rates % pay
ment serious one is shown by their offer
to accept the cOmpany's sliding scale of
wages, if the company viii waive its de-
mand for the transference Of the date for
signing the wage schedule from June so to
December 81
The table of wages paid in the Homestead
mills was recently printed by The Press. It
showed that in the slabbing mill skilled
heaters have been earning s. 81 per day, and
that under the new arrangement proposed
by the company their minimum wages
with steel billets selling at S23 per ton
would be S6.67 per day that under the pro-
jected plan the lowest wages of a screwman
would be S6.4l day that the lowest wages
of the workers known as heaters first helpers
would be S4.75 daily and that in the plate
mills. where rollers had earned S6.31, screw
men $7G6, ;ablemen So 60 and first shear
man $ GO per day of.twelve hours, the re-
ductiOn in the wages paid per 100 tons, even
if the minimum point in the sliding scale
was to be the constantly determining factor,
would be slight To speak of men earning
from $4.75 to So per day as starving labor
ersn is the height Of absurdity.
Into the question whether the changes in
payment and date Of wage schedule called
for by the Homestead managers were justi-
fable and wise The Press does not propose
to enter. What it desires 10 do is to stamp
as malicious falsehOods the reports circulat-
ed by unscrupulous Democratic organs in
regard to the rate Of wages paid at Home
stead. At thei. lowest possible figure, with
steel billets selling at s23 per ton, the wages
of Homestead workmen would be more
than twice as high as those paid to similar
classes Of labor in free trade Great Britain.

The coloners Carriage:

A week ago yesterday Colonel Gilker-
sons new carriage came home. 1t was
a stylish affair throughout and looked as
comfortable as a government sinecurei
but Mrs. Gilkerson wasn't satisfied She
didn't offer any criticisms at first, but
threw out gentle hints about some addi-
tons that might be made and some points
Of difference between If and some other
swell turnouts she had seen.
The colonel was rather proud OF the
vehicle, as il had been built for him and
was in some minor respects constructed
in acco rdanee with ideas ofhis own. He
felt little nettled at the remarks Of his
better half, and finally stated with I'M
necessary circumlocution that he would
like TO know what in thunder she want
ed anyway.
Angelina and / have been talking 1t
all over, said the good lady insinuating-
ly, @and have decided that we want a
crest on it ike Angelina has on her sta
tionery."
you have, have YEP snOrted the
colonel. ~Not by a jugful, Maria l
want no such internal British nonsense
on no rig that I'm a-goin' to ride in"
Maria used all her persuasive powers
and Angelina seconded the motion in an
able and eloquent address, but all to no
purpose. The female side Of the house
insisted and tried to press the matter TO
8 vote, but the colonel filibustered and
avoided the issue.
"You was a working girl when mar
ried you" said he, "and was a work
ingman-"
Finally, however, ne yielded, and the
carriage was sent back. Yesterday it
came home again and the colonel told
the women folks" to get ready for
drive. They were waiting when John
drove up to the door and the colonel
started to help them in. Both looked
for the crest and both started back with
cries Of dismay. Then they looked at
the old man. He was gazing at the sky
with a peculiar expression about his
mouth. Maria and Angelina began to
weep and went back into the house.
The colonel pressed his lips together,
entered the carriage and paraded up and
down Woodward avenue half the after
noon, while passers by smiled at de-
sign representing ashoyel, anax, broom
and flatiron. When he got home at
4.30 Maria met him in the hallway and
said she had concluded that the carriage
looked better without a crest, and the
colonel, stepping to the door, called to
John TO drive 'er back TO the shop an
tell 'em TO take of the frilis. ."-DoirOd
