Speaker Of the House or Represents.
tives and Leader OF the Ma
tiOnal Demo


tional Democracy.
The above picture Is good like
ness Of Speaker Crisp, who has just
been brought into unusual prom
inence lately through being APP
pointed United States Senator from
Georgia by the Governor to fiji the
vacancy caused by the death of
Senator Colquitt. Governor North
en- urged his prompt acceptance of
the Office. but the Democratic lead
ers in Congress begged him to de-
cline the honor, as they could i'll
afford to spare him now from the
Speakers chair, with such import
ant legislation pending. Sir. Crisp
therefore declined the appointment,
although he has an ambition to
enter the Senate, but is willing to
remain where the best interest of
his party aud people dem ands.
His name has already been proposed
in connection with the next Presi-
Dental ticket, and several papers
are nominating the Democratic
ticket as follows Adlai e. Steven
son, OF Illinois, for President, and
Charles f. Crisp, of Georgia, for
Vice President. This would be
good ticket.
Charles Frederick Crisp, although
born In England, is of American
parentage, and all his intelligent
life has been spent in this country.
lie came of "a family of actors.
His younger brother, Harry. long
q fagorite member of the Boston
Museum Company, when the stock
company of that house was con-
spicuous for its briIliance and
Charles himself is understood to
have known in his early days what
the life of the strolliug player is in
rural districts.
His parents were visiting in Shelf
field, England, when Charles was
born, on January 20. 1915, but he
was brought to Georgia while still
less than year old. He was given
q common school education in Sa
vanrah and Macon, and in MAY,
1861, entered the Confederate
army, rose to lieutenancy, and
might have advanced yet further
in the later war days of rapid pro-
motion had he not been taken
prisoner. Throughout the last year
OF the war he was confined in Fort
Delaware, and as soon as he was
released he began the study of law
at Americas, where his home still
is.
He was admitted to practice when
he was twenty-one, and so well APP
proved himself that within six
years he was made Solicitor Gen
eyal Of the Southwestern Judicial
Circuit, an Office which he resigned
five years later only to be advanced
to a Superior Court judgeship in
the same circuit. He resigned that
office in 1882, upon the offer of the
Democratic nomination for Con-
gress In the Third Georgia district,
and be has served in every Con-
gress since that date, was first
elected Speaker of the Fifty-second
Congress and re elected to the same
honorable post IN the present body.

Advice from Warrington,

Senators Teller and Wolcott have
telegraphed the following suggestion
to Speaker Ammons of the Colorado
House of Representatives.:
1--WE have neither the inclination
nor the right to interfere in the slight
est degree with any legislative action
of the General Assembly Of Colorado.
We are most anxious, however, tha,
our state should continue to maintain
her high reputation for wisdom and
fair dealing, and that she should not
be subject to criticism from other sec
tions of our country.
Prosperity will return to us if we
do nothing to drive it away, and we
believe favorable solution of the sill
yer question will eventually be found.
No party question is involved, and we
trust the interest of the state will not
be hampered by legislative mistakes.
Any prolonged or continued session Of
the Assembly would in our opinion be
most unwiss and vonid only result in
iBtury y CeIsssds.
The Bessemer indicator., 1894-01-27
Will Bring In Colonies.

The new commissioner of immigra-
tidn, A. G. Fisk, is sending out over
his official signature large batch Of
correspondence which has been await
ing the appointment of a commissioner
and he pledges himself to bring g., 900
people to Colorado within year if
the national government will not dis
turb the sugar bounty President Ok
nard of the American Sugar Beet As
sociation, so the commissioner says,
has promised to build six rcfineries in
Colorado as soon as he can get 60, 900
acres of beets planted. Mr.. Fisk will
work on the plan of getting farmers to
plant beets in bodies of 10000 acres,
as that would about keep one refinery
going. 1t is estimated this acreage of
beets would give -, 600, 900 pounds Of
refined sugar, and thus keep factory
in constant operation.

ed. Creditors Of the company, othera
than the mortgage, levied upon the

the mortgage did not mention ditches

Court held that when water was car
ried upon land by bitches that the
bitches and water rights became part
of the land and passed with the land
as an incident to the land on the
ground that the land was Of little
value without water, and the water
and bitches was what made the prop
erty valuable. Water rights may be
sold separate from the land, still a
deed carries the water right unless it
is expressly reserved.
