GRIFFIN's ELECTRIC LIGHTS.
Contract to BE Made with the High
Falls COMPANY


Griffin, Ga; May 28.-The city council
met in called session this afternoon to de-
eide definitely whether or not the city
would abandon it's present electric light
system and contract with the High Falls
Electric Power Company. After a lengthy
discussion, during which it was clearly
proved that the city could save from 81 600
to $3.50 per annum by accepting the prop
osltion of the above company, it was de-
cided that the Griffin Electric Light Works
should be abandoned and the city should
use electricity from the falls so soon as
all arrangements could be made The
company will now seek a contract with
GAINESVILLE Forsyth, Macon, jackson and
other places, for furnishing lights. They
also intend to run an electric car line be
tween Griffin and Indian Springs. High
Fails is magnificent water power sta
ton, and is fully able to furnish electric
power sufficient to guarantee well lighted
cities to those who may accept their prop
osition

For want of money to meet
their obligations to depositors,
banks in different parts of the
country are daily suspending
payments, railroads are going
into receivers hands, manufact-
urers and merchants daily are
failing, property Of all kinds is
decreasing in value, farming
lands and farm products are so
low that among agriculturists
the greatest distress prevails,
and 100000 laborers of
various kinds are out of employ
ment, many of whom are suffer-

while roberies, murders and
suicides attest to the despairing
condition of our people.
All the interests of property,
labor and industry are tending
to a condition of universal
bankruptcy and most pitiab1e

lack of the requisite supply of
money to give full employment
to labor, and to represent prop

How Can We Pay Them.

N1. JOScpu II. w dlkeI, dpIO1u-
inent member of congress, repre-
senting the state of Massachu-
setts, in a recent speech in con-
gress, estimated the entire in
debtedness of the United States
states, cities, counties and
banks of all kinds to their de-
positors, the railroads and other
corporations, and the various
individuals of the country-at
$31, 488,000,0O0.
The entire gold of the whole
world is only 81, O00,000,000, so
that our various kinds Of in
debtedness is eight times all the
gold the world possesses.
The entire gold Of the United
States in the United States treas
ury, in all the state, city, and
county treasures, in all the
banks, national, state, savings,
and private banks, and in the
hands of the people is estimated
by the officials of our treasury
department at onl y about $780,
100000.
Thus, the debts owing by the
United States and the various
other debtors in the United
States are fifty times as much as
all the gold in the United States,
in whatsoever hands it may be.
The yield ofall the gold mines in
the United States is about $780,
100000 a year.
Thirty-one billion and four
hundred and eighty eight million
dollars is the total amount Of
all our debts, as estimated by
Congressman Walker, who is a
high authority on this subject,
equals 600 years Of all the pro-
duction of all our gold mines.
The annual interest on $751;
488,OCO,OOO, which is the
amount of our country's indebt-
edness, at 5 per cent a year is
81, 574,40O,O0O
This interest for one year is
equal to thirty years of the total
production of all the gold mines

A PhariSaiCal Measure.


The Loud bill is another of the
legislative schemes that by indi-
rection seeks results which, for
fear Of popular denunciation, it's
promoters dare not openly adj
vOcate.
The plea by which most men
are induced to favor the bill is
the deficiency in the postal reve-
nues. This deficiency is charged
to the carrying of serial publica-
tions gotten up in pamphlet form,
as the Ariel Library, the Eco
nomic Library, etc., and entered
as second class matter, on the
same terms as newspapers. The
powers that be, however, persist
in looking for the trouble in the
wrong place. The facts are that
the deficiency is more than occa-
stoned by the excessive rates paid
railroads for postal transporta-
ton.
If the government, as common
sense dictates and experiences of
European governments justify,
owned the roads itself, mails
would be carried at cost and not
only would there be no deficiency
but postal rates might be still
further reduced from 20 to 30 per
cent.
The policy of the department
in giving special rates to second
class matter was avowedly to
encourage the dissemination of
intelligence. In this work,
though sending out by far the
most literature, the advocates of
plutocratic theories of economy
are getting the worst of it. Such
publications as Looking Back
ward, Caesars Column and
Coins books, have so far out
stripped in influence the litera-
ture of the apologizers for pres
ent conditions that the m0n0p-
DIV interests have taken alarm
and, having the money to circu
late their books at any cost and
knowing that the advocates of

PLAN TO LEASE 100000 ACRES.


Superintendent stryker Would Derive In
come from Vacant School Land.
TOPEKA, Kan, Jan. 27.-There are
about 100000 acres Of unsold schoo
lands in Kansas. The legislature Of
1895 enacted law prohibiting the
sale Of school lands for the period Of
two years. This was to give the irri-
CATION board room to experiment. The
two years are now up and the land can
be sold whenever the state super
intendent Of public instruction makes
an order placing them on the mar
ket. The land is in western Kansas,
and much of it would not bring
the minimum price prescribed by law,
50 an acre. Superintendent Stryker
proposes a measure which he believes
will meet with the approval of the leg
islature. 1t is to authorize that the
lands be leased for term of years.
even If we could lease the lands for
only 81 an acre it would be better than
to let them lie idle" Mr. Stryker says.
A bill to this effect will be prepared
and introduced this week.

LEGAL SENSATION.


Attorneys for Murderer Duestr0w Attack

ST. Louis, Jan, 27.-Charles p. John
son, Charles holland and John w,
Booth, Murderer Arthur Duestrow's
attorneys, have completed their mo-
ton for rehearing by the supreme
court of the motion for new trial Of
the famous case, and it will be for
warded to jefferson City. The motion
will prove one of the sensations of the
year in legal way. If the allegations
contained in it can be substantiated 1t
will involve the supreme court in q
scandal Of serious proportions. In fact,
although the life of a man is involved,
this circumstance will be completely
overshadowed by the gravity of the
charges against the court, Or, rather,
against the Judge who wrote the opin-
ion, for 1t will raise the question Of the
competency of the court and the legal
ity Of its acts The principal point
upon which the motion for rehearing
Is based is direct charge that the
court did not read the record in the
case, as is required by the statutes.
Duestrow's attorneys virtually charge
that the state'sprosecutor was allowed
to write the opinion for the supreme
court,

train while it was going at a fearful
speed, and those who remained
aboard were pretty well knocked about
when the train crashed into the one be-

broken in two places, at the hip and

WASHINGTON, Jan. H.-The senate
had . busy session yesterday. Cnba,
the proposed international monetary
conference and the Nicaragua canal
each came in for share of attention.
Mr.. Turpie, Of Indiana, closed his
speech on the Cuban resolutions, urging
that Spain had utterly failed to quell
the outbreak, and that the United
States should intervene.
The Wolcott bill for an international
monetary conference was considered
for the Arst time. Mr. White, Of Cali
fornia, Mr.. Cannon, Of Utah, and Mr..
Daniel, Of Virginia, urged that the
conference would be futile, and was
not intended as a serious movement
toward bimetallism. 1t was made evil
dent however, that the bill would
meet little opposition beyond the ex-
preston Of senator's that the bill would
accomplish nothing Mr. Stewart Of
fered an amendment, providing that, in
case the conference failed, the secre-
tary Of the treasury shall, within 80
days, begin the free and unlimited
coinage Of both gold and silver. No
final action on the bill was taken.
The Nicaragua canal debate was re-
sumed, Mr.. Daniel speaking against
the measure. Mr.. Morgan submitted
q letter from President Hitchcock, Of
the canal company, replying to the re-
cent letter Of Minister Rodriguez. Mr..
Morgan also offered an amendment de-
signed to meet the objections present
ed by Mr.. Rodriguez.
In presenting remonstrance against
the bill, said TO restore the practice OF
fogging on vessels, Mr.. Frye, Of Maine,
said there was no measure pending
which In any way restored fogging,
but on the contrary, the bill referred
to gave greater security than ever be-
fore TO sailors against brutality on

deayored to pass the bill authorizing
the chief Justice Of the supreme court
to designate a member Of the federal
