A Secret Band of Murderers and In
cendfaries.

cendfarfes.
ATLANTA, Ga, April 25.-Eleven men,
supposed to be white caps, were put on
trial in the United States court here yes
terday for several recent outrages. 1t Is
charged by the government that these pris-
oners are members of a gang in Gordon,
Murray and Gilmer counties. whose object
is to protect Illicit distilling. The import
ance of this trial grows out of the extern
sive operations of this secret league which
Is said to embrace 700 members among the
mountains of north Georgia. Within the
last two weeks eight whippings and one
assassination have been reported. During
the fall and winter there were incendiary
fires and attempts to murder deputy mar
shals credited to this league. The gov
eminent has undertaken to break up this
organization.
One hundred witnesses were sworn for
the defendants. The hearing OF evidence
had barely begun when the time came for
the adjournment of court. The examination
OF witnesses will begin in earnest today

signed to reverse the American policy Of

An EVENTFUL SUMNER,

Taking al "gether, this has been a pretty
lively summer. The new spapeis. at least
have had no OCCASION to complain of dull times
as far as events are concerned. AT home We
had Congress and the tariff question TO make
things interesting, the ser iocomic performances
of the CommonwealeTs. and a series of labor
disturbances and st"ikes, leading up to the
great demonstration headed by Mr.. Debs
France has contributed sensational item OF
the first magnitude in the assassination OF
President Carnot and Italy and other coul
ties have furnished smaller ones Of smila
character. Japan and China seem now about
TO provide bloody grist for the journalist mill
and if hostitles etween them should proceed
to any length other countries may help to
make the simmer of 1894 notable for its i'm
portant happenings. Earthquakes in Greece
and Turkey, the plague in China and the
cholera in Russia and other Countries are
among the pleasant features of the last two o.
three months. The probable loss of the Well
man artic expedition is ano the. and one of the
most recently reported in cident of the heated
term. 1t would seem as if the spirit of mis-
chief and evil had been remarkabl y active Of
late. But by this time he must have neatly
exhausted his engines, and we may hope that
this county, at least, will soon resume the
even tenor of its way and that quiet and
prosperous fall and winter will more than
compensate us for the excitement and dis
turbances of the summpr-Sun.

MR.. GORMAN AT THE WHITE HOUSE.

Senator German was at the White House
Monday morning, and his visit has given rise
to several sensational rumors. One of them
that is given greatest circulation is that fresi-
dent Cleveland asked Senator German not TO
make his contemplated speech. According to
this story the Senator, making use of his pet
expression, "The limit of endurance has been
reached" informed the Pres ident that nothing
but stroke of apolexy or death i'll his chair
could prevent his expressing his view to the
Senate and to the country. Whether or not
this story is true, it is known that President
Cleveland sent for Mr.. German Friday after
noon. The message, however, was either re-
ceived too late or the Senator refused to com j..
ply with the Presidents request He was
again invited to the White House Monday
morning and spent nearly an hour with the
President
How Senator Germans speech Monday has
affected the situation 1t is difficult to conject-
ure. Several democratic Anators declared
there could be no doubt of the passage of the
Senate bill. Others declare that Mr.. G ,rman 5
speech opens the way to further compromise,
and that the proposed reductions III the duty
on iron to % Gel t, per ton and on coal to 30
cents t N are made p ,ssble The adiplr-
ment of the Senate Immediately after the
speech delivered BY Mr.. White indicated that.
the conservatives" and these who stand with
them are not yet ready to take vote upon
any OF the pending propos itions. From this it
is inferred that an ef,rt is being made to rec
cratic Senators.

SENATOR GORMAN' SPEC Oh.

A sensation was caused in the Sem
ate on Monday by the speech of the
senior Senator from Maryland. 1t was
the first of the series Of speeches that
have been made by those senator's who
are responsible for the amendments to
the House tariff bill. He endeavored
to show that Mr.. Cleveland was party
to the amendments, was apprised of
their nature and intent, and gave a
tacit consent to their adoption. Sena-
tor Vest stated that he had reluctantly
consented to them, because Senator
Jones informed him that they met
with the approval of the President and
the Secretary of the Treasury. Sena-
tors Jones and Harris were also made
witnesses as to the formation of the COM
promise bill. Senator German claim
ed that the infamous calumnies heaped
upon the Democrats Of the Sena'e
forced from his lips plain, unvarnish
e stat ement of the facts. In the heat
and excitem ent of debate he may have
been somewhat unguarded and severe
in his criticism of the r>sident, but
we are not ready to condemn him for
his course. He felt that refec ion
had been c lst upon him and other hon
orable men, and he came boldly to the
front in defense of his position. The
present condition of the party is great
ly to be regretted, but let us not be too
swift to place all the responsibility up
on the conservatives in the Senate.
Time may show that there are others
who deserve a share, if not the greater
share, Of the odium which some Of our
contemporaries would heap upon Mr..
Gorman's shoulders.
