Bill to Abolish the Death Penalty

WASHINGTON March 23.-The

penalty in all cases where it is pre-
scribed in the federal statutes (sixty
in number), save in cases of murder
and rape, under sections $3.50 and 5345
of the revised statutes, where the jury
might qualify the verdict without
capital punishment" The bill makes
no changes in the penalties that can be
inflicted by military and naval courts

iShable by death abolished by the bill
are murder and robbery on the high

OUR NATIONAL DEBT.

thing we do is to destroy one-half the

together and save the party"
Now shall we change our industrial

FEAR GRIGGS AND SILVER.
SECOND DISTRICT GOLDBUGS BE-
COMING ALARMED,
And Are Calling Upon Their Forces to
Unite on One Man. A Despsiring
Plea.

The advocates of the single gold stand
ard are evidently not pleased with the
outlook in the second congressional dis
trict.
Judge Griggs is developing too much
strength for them. They seem to realize
that he is already several laps ahead in
the, race, and the despair and ,consterna-
ton that has taken hold of them is made
plain in the following earnest plea of a
brownsville correspondent for those
who are opposed to bimetallism to agree
upon one man to carry their flag and then
rally unitedly to his support:
1.-THE race for congress from this dis
trict will be not so much between sthe
different candidates as between the
sound money and free silver faction. 1t
is now pretty generally understood that
Judge Griggs is the champion of the
free silverites, while Judge Bower and
Capt. Hammond represent the sound
money men. 1t can readily be seen, if
the silverites remain solid for Griggs,
and the sound money men divide be-
tween Hammond and Bower, that the
cause Of the sound money men will be
lost. This makes it pre~eminently neces-
sary that the sound money people should
get together on sone candidate for the
good of the cause. Judge Griggs is a
very active worker, and he is leaving no
stone unturned to carry the convention
his way. He is now heart and soul in
the fight, and is doing more work than
both of the other candidates combined.
1t is true the election is a long way off,
, but the seeds OF false doctrine are being
sown broadcast over the district, and
unless they are couateracted they will
bear fruit of their nnd. The standard
bearer of the sound money people should
be man we'll qualified mentally and
bodily to meet their aggressive and hope
| full antagonist.
civilian NJ. Hammond of Thomasville
is ready to undertake the fight, and
to carry it through to victory, but feeling
that he is not fighting 50 much his OWL
battles as the battles of his country, he
thinks that he should have the undvid
ed and cordial support of all men who
believe in the principles of democracy as
represented by Grover Cleveland.

WHY THEY SELECTED GEORGIA.
The Train of Provisions Sent to the West
Has Brought Splendid Returns.

Has Brought Splendid Returns.
Mr.. P. H. Fitzgerald, the founder of
the old soldiers colony in Irwin and
Wilcox counties. in letterlto the MAN
ufacturers RECORD, says he selected Geore
gia for the colony mainly because it was
demonstrated to the people of the west,
when Nebraska was suffering for the
necessaries of life, that Georgia pros
duced food crops in abundance. He
said when he read in the papers that
train load of provisions-co -four and
meat-had been shipped from the En-
pire state of the south to the suffering
and starving Nebraskans, he made up
his mind that Georgia was the state for
western people who wanted homes Tin a
more desirable climate. He at once de-
termined to visit Georgia. He found the
climate and soil all that could be desired,
and, with the aid of Elk Governor North
en-, he lost no time in selecting suitable
location.
1t seems, therefore, thatsthat train of
provisions which went to the west from
Georgia has brought splendid returns.
1t has drawn the attention of the whole
country to this state. Every newspaper
in the union, nearly, has had something
to say of the Fitzgerald colony.
And that is not the only colony that
Georgia is to get. Even now there are
several other colonies in process of
formation. Besides the colonies, settlers
are coming into the state from nearly
every direction. The most of them are
finding homes in southeast and souths
west Georgia. That they will be satisfied
is certain-that is, if they are prepared
to make an earnest and conscientious
effort 20 secure homes for themselves
They can get good lands at low price
land that will yield abundantly, and
that is we'll adapted for grain or cotton
or fruits. We confidently expect to see
some of the south Georgia counties have
twice their present population within
the next ten years.

MoRMoNIsM IN ANOTHER SHAPE.
Alarming Increase in the Nennber Of Tn
defended Divorce Suits.

Alarming Increase in the Nember of Tn
defended Divorce Suits.
Justice Beckman, of New York, called
attention the other day to the enormous
increase in the undefended suits for
divorce. He suggests the appointment
of an official something like the queens
proctor in England, and he would make
all divorce DEGREES take effect six months
after they are rendered, so as to give
either party chance to have the case
reopened.
In an editorial on the subject The
New York Mercury says:
The queens proctor and his deputies
watch every divorce suit carefully, and
critically examine the facts. In the event
of any collision or fraud being practiced
upon the court these officials are almost
sure to discover it within the six months
that must elapse before the decree is
made final. Their duty then is to reopen
the case.
That our courts are imposed upon in
these cases is patent to every one who
has watched the procedure, That the
Judges have no power to prevent the I'M
position is equally certain. Collision IN
a divorce case is the easiest thing In the
world to practice and the hardest to
prove. Had we proctor, as they nave
in England, collision would be detected,
the fraudulent use of the courts would
be stopped and the whole community
would be the gamer, for the severing OF
the marriage tie-eXcept In extreme
cases-is the greatest injury that can be
done to society.
In the southern states it is not so easy
to procure divorces. Sooth Carolina all
lows none for any cause, and here in
Georgia two verdicts are required. But
in some of the northern and western
states the marriage tie is so easily and
quickly broken that it amounts to very
little. In several states it is possible to
find people making claims to respect
ability who have been married and di-
vorced half dozen times in the course
of fifteen or twenty years.
This is really Mormonism IN modi-
fed shape. If a man can have so many
different wives in the course of a few
years, his case differs very little from
that of the polygamist.
Something certainly should be done to
prevent collision in divorce cases.
