diligently since their appointment,
and hope in few days TO have all
details completed. The object is to
raise money 10 erect q monument 20
the Confederate dead, from the East
ern Shore; and we appeal to you 10
aid us-an appeal we know will not
be made in vain 1t ifas been said,
even by Northern writer's, that the
late war wss prolonged because OF the
devotion and loyalty Of the women OF
the South and we know that their
devotion TO the memory OF their dead
is as true now, as was their loyalty
and sacrifices for the Lost Cause.
MANY OF the monuments that have
been erected throughout the South,
have been largely through their aid,
and some almost entirely so. Monu
mental associations would be organ
lied by them, then success would be
assured, for where they lead all will
follow. We only ask now to have a
table filled with fancy articies-any-
thing that will sell. All articles can
be sent direct to Capt. G. G. Savage,

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.
Making the Most of the Brief Time
That Yet Remains.

ATLANTA, Ga, Dec. 26.-The pub
lie spirit of Atlanta once more showed
itself in the large number of people
who left home on Christmas day to
visit the Exposition in honor of Col
lier day" In spite of the threatening
weather the street cars and the South
ern Railways Exposition cars were
kept busy during a good portion of the
day moving the crowds.
To-day is Negro day" at the Expo
sition and the committee of thirty-five
negro leaders has worked up great en-
thusiasm. The white people gave
their servants holiday and they at
tended in great numbers.
Everything is now making ready for
the close of the Exposition, which will
occur December 3lst That is Direc-
tors day and another big turnout is
expected.
The railroads have granted a weeks
extension of the low rates which were
to expire to-day. Until January 1st
tickets will be sold at the same rates
quoted for the 10Th to the 25th, good
to return within five days from date
of sale. These rates are less than ever
offered by the railroads and figure lit
tie more than half a cent mile. They
are in effect throughout the territory
of the Southern Passenger Associa-
ton from the Ohio and Potomac rivers
to the Gulf of Mexico and the Missis
sippi river.

GOV. BROWN TO APPOINT.
Has Authority to Deprive the Repub-
licans OF all Their Patronage.

BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. 26.-Gov.
Frank Brown, the Democratic EXecu-
tive of the State, who will retire from
office on January s, has given the Re
publican aspirants for office a pretty
bad scare, from which they have not
yet recovered. He dropped a bomb in
their ranks about three DAYS ago,
which, at the time, was believed to be
harmless, but which they have since
learned was loaded. and had a time
fuse attachment
The constitution provides that the
Governor shall appoint, with the con-
sent of the Senate, all civil officers
within fifty days from the beginning
of each regular session of the Legisla-
ture. Now the Governors term does
not expire until the Sth of January,
whereas the Legislature meets on the
1st. AS the Senate is Democratic, the
Governor claims that he has the power
to make all appointments within the
first week. The Senate could imme-
diately confirm, and as no removals
can be made. except for cause, the ap-
pointees would hold over for two years.
When this fact was announced sever
al days ago the Republicans said it was
another of Browns jokes, and made
light of it. Now that the Attorney
General says that the Governor has the
power to forestall his Republican sue
cessor, and Gov. Brown says he is not
joking, the Republicans are very un-
easy.

CHAIRMAN DINGLEY EXPLAINS.
The Provisions of the New Revenue
Bill and the Bond Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-ChaiTman
Dingley, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, makes the following state
ment:
THE revenue bill is not intended to
be tariff REVISION, but simply an eXi-
gency bill to raise about $40,000,000 OF
revenue to meet the deficiency. The
main object is revenue, although Incl
dentally the increases Will help Amer
lean industries to some extent. The
bill is limited to two and a half years,
the expectation being that by that
time the Republicans will be III full
power and able to revise the tariff on
their own lines. Woods are taken from
the free list and clothing woods given
a duty of 40 cents (60 per cent of
the. duty provided by the act of 189O)
and wooden goods are given specific
compensatory duty of go per cent OF
what they had under the act of 1890,
in addition to the adj valorem duty of
the present law. Carpet woods are
placed where they were under the act
of 1890. and the same specific duty
given to carpets as under the act OF
1890. i'm addition to the ad valorem
duties of the present law. The aru-
cles of lumber placed on the free list
of the tariff of 1890 are transferred to
the dutiable list with 60 per cent OF
the duty that they had under the act
of 1890. Then all the other dutiable
schedules Except sugar, which is not
touched) have all the duties raised Is
per cent. The committee had not the
time to treat the articles separately.
and hence a horizontal increase be-
came necessary as to all articles now
on the free list.
"The bond BILL added Mr.. Dingley,
"giyes the Secretary of the Treasury
authority to issue a per cent. five
wear coin bond to maintain the re-
demption fund, in addition to the au-
thority ne now possesses, but provides
that the proceeds of all bonds sold un-
der his act and under the resumption
act shall be used only for redemption
purposes. 1t also provides that all
bonds shall be first offered to the peo-
pie of this country. The bill also au-
thoriZes certificates of indebtedness
bearing per cent. interest and paya-
BILE within three years to be issued to
meet any temporary deficiency of rev
enue. The only object of the bond
bill is to reduce the rate OF interest
and the time they run, as the bonds
which the Secretary is not authorized
