Georgia's Governor Eacites Their Wrath
ATLANTA. Ga, June 5.-The Gov
ernor of Georgia was roundly Missed
by two hundred of the girls of the
Girls Normal and Industrial School
yesterday.
The whole town is up in arms
against Governor Atkinson and the
members of the Board of Trustees,
of which he is President, and there
Is much bitter feeling in consequence.
Miss Emile Spence of Camilla, a
member of a prominent South Gsor-
gia family, has been in the senior
class. She Is very charming young
girl, but her scholarship was not
very high, and she had trouble in
keeping up with her classes.
ln the Latin examination she was
detected cheating, so il lis charged.
The penalty was expulsion, and the
faculty promptly decided TO enforce
1t. She confessed and was sent home
on Thursday.
On Monday she came back with
her brother, who is a prominent pol
itician, and begged TO be reinstated.
The faculty refused. The Governor
asked the faculty for his sake TO re
store her, but again the faculty re-
fused.
Then the Board of Trustees was
called together. They had a meet
ing.
When the time came for the deliv-
cry of the diplomas. Senator Y. T..
Harris, who made the address, read
out the name of Mss Spence among
the graduates
Instantly President Chappell rose
and ,aid: "In the name Of the fac
ulty enter protest agains, giving
Miss Spence a diploma
The announcement was greeted
with cheers from the big crowd in
the college chapel. Then Governor
Atkinson said:
Il never thought President Chap
pell could be guilty Of an act so un
becoming a gentleman and SO up
chivalrous as prosecuting q defense
less girl
As he talked the audience rose Z,
leave. The President called then
back Then after the benedicfion
and as the Governor stepped from
the stage, the two hundred GIRL
Kissed him.
The senior class unanimously de
terminsd that they would not nc
cepi -. diplomas.
Gov. rnor Atkinson was the chic
instr 'nnent in the creation Of thi
sci,"''i, and the presence Of the girl
in th'-ir caps and gowns was tn

MEMPHIS, Tenn. May "a Before
an audience that filed every nook
and corner of the grand Opera
House, and overlooked into the street,
TX .x-congressman W. J. Bryan. % Ne
nraska, replied to- ght TO the speech
IN the monetary issue delivered
across the street yesterday by Secre-
tary Carlisle. The apostles of tree
silver from the West arrived In the
city this morning, and were heartily
greeted by the committee of the BIZ
tnefaitic League, which subseq uenfly
conferred with him concerning the
Tree silver national convention to be
neld in tins city next month. Con
gresham John NJ. Allen, of Missis
sippi, also arrived later in the day.
and spoke after Mr.. Bryan al the
mass-meeting.
In the course of his speech the
Omaf2 .dltor said:
I'm 1878 Mr.. Carlisle was hurting
the pebble of truth at the giant of
he Pnllistines, John Sher-
man; to-day as Goliath
ne daily issues challenge
20 his former friends. He explains
that he voted for free coinage in
1873 in the hope that it would be
amended III the Senate, 1 but he never
votrd against free coinage until af-
ter the nomination of Mr.. Cleveland
IN 1892. 1t is true that in 1878 Mr..
Carlisle did say that he was opposed
TO the free coinage of silver, but he
ought in all fairness to have stated
that he was at the time opposed to
free coinage of gold also. He said
IN his speech of 1878: Il am opposed
to the free coinage of either gold or
silver, but in favor of the unlimited
coinage of both metals upon terms
of exact equality Not only in his
present language contradicted by his
tOlmer speech, but a letter written
IN 1880 by him says he was at that
time infavOr of free and unlimited
coinage of silver.
ION the 25th of July, 1890, the
Gibraltar Democrat, of Mayfeld KY,
published letter written by Mr..
Carlisle for publication, in which he
defends himself against a criticism
made by the Farmers Alliance and
says of the Sherman act of 1890:
When the original House bill was
under discussion in the Senate |
voted to amend 1t SO as to provide
for the free and unlimited coinage
of the silver dollar, and that amend
ment was adopted. The House, how
ever, refused to agree to this amend
ment, and then conference com
mittee was appointed, which struck
out free coinage entirely, and this
was the bill | voted against
$50 much for the position of Mr..
Carlisle upon the question of free
coinage. We do not deny to Mr.
Carlisle the right to change his opin-
ion, but 1t has been more than a
change Of opinion; it has been a
change in heart. Mr.. Carlisle at that
time was the Moses of the common
people: he is now the commander
ln-chiet of Pharaoh's army. He was
then the courageous and zealons
leauer of ,.Ie MASSES III the effort to
restore gold and silver coinage of
the Constitution; he is now the fore
most champion of the forces that he
then denounced with so much vigor. y

President Cleveland's message to Con-
rress in the dispute between the republic
of Venezuela and Great Bistian regarding
the boundary between the Republic and
British Guiana, created a sensation in the
two Houses, Tuesday, and was generally
commended.
After stating that the answe. OF the
British prime-minister had been received
since he sent his annual message to Con-
gress, and reviewing the case, the Presi-
dent concludes as folloNs:
''The course to be pursued By this gov
ernment in view OF the present eon1itlon
does not appear to admit to serious doubt.
Having labored faithfully for many years
to induce Great Brltian to submit this dis
pute to impartial arbitration, and having
been now finally apprised # her refusal to
do so, nothing remains but TO accept the
situation, to recoganize its plain require
ments and deal with it accordingly. Great
Britian's present proposition has never
thus far been regarded as admlsslo-e Oy
Venezuela. though any adjustment of the
boundary which the country may deem
for her advantage anu may enter into OF
iected to by tie United States.
Assuming, however that the attitude
of Venezuela will remain unchanged the
dispute has reached such stage as to
make il now incumbent upon the nited

sufficient certainty for its Justlhcation

Cannot be Taxed.

AttorneyGeneral Mccormick filed very
important opinion Monday, with Auditor
General Mylin, deciding negatively the
question whether all classes or all kinds
of life insurance policies arc taxable or
only certain kinds, and if so, what kinds" F"
The question was fist raised by the COM
missiOners of Allegheny county in refer
ence to the taxation of certain policies OF
life insurance companies held by residents
of this state. Tbs matter was referred to
Auditor General Mylin by the commissions
ers and by him in turn to Attorney Gen
3ral Mccormick.
The lengthy opinion os the Attorney
General concludes as follows:
1.-THE contemporaneous construction Civ
en- the acts of 1879, 1889 and 1891 excluded
life insurance policies. If such constrac-
ton by your department of the acts above
referred to had not been in accord with the
legislative intent, it is fair to assume that
the legislature would have long since cor
rected the law by adding life insurance
policies as a taxable subject. Tney have
not done so. and am of the opinion that
policies of life insurance of no kind are the
subject of taxation for state purposes under
existing law.
"In your communication to me you say
that after examining the subject and as
certaining that certain policies of life in
s1rsbce had present casa value, | deem
lImy duty to include them within the
class of personal property. subject to tax
ation.' | cannot agree that the fact that
these policies have surrender cash value
makes them taxable. Fire insurance pol
icies also have a cash surrender value. .,ad
if that il sufficient reason, would be tax.
able The broad ground upon which put
my conclusion "a that lite insurance poll.
cies were not intended to be included
within any of the acts of assembly provid
ing for taxation for state purposes. tn,
act Of 1891 does not provide that 'all per
sonal property is 10 be taxed, the language
of the act being all personal property o
the classes hereinafter enumerated thu,
clearly excluding all personal property G,
does not fall within any of the classes emu
merated."
