WEIGH of Albany, this State, the location
of another large colony of people on forty
thousand acres of land near Albany, Ga
The lack of educational facilities and social
advantag es in the country has done much
to drive the rural population into cities and
towns, and Ex-Governor Northen has de-
voted a great deal of time and thought
to this problem. His idea for years past
has been that farms at the South could
be diversified in crops and made very much
smaller in area than at present. He had
advocated community of village farming
as is practiced in Europe. This plan he
has somewhat developed in the location of
the Grand Army colony at Fitzgerald, Ca

UncOnfirmed Report thnt General Har-
risOn May BE Asked TO Take 1t.
Special TO the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, May 2S.-It is within the
range Of possibilities that President Nc
Kinley may ask ex-President Harrison to
representHlim personally in the conduct of
important diplomatic negotiations between
this country and Spain, but it is pro-
nounced extremely improbable, not to say
absurd, that he would invite his distn-
guished predecessor to go to Madrid as a
plain minister or ambassador. The report
is rife that the Indiana statesman has been
asked to accept formal appointment to
SPAIN contingent on the raising of the
post from the rank of minister to that of
ambassador but there is no basis for the
statement, although it is true that the
President has General Harrison in mind,
and might call on him later should the oc-
cason arise requiring the employment of
the services of a man of his established
diplomatic abilities in the settlement of
questions vital to the welfare of the coun-
try. No such contingency is now in sight,
but events may force this government into
a position in which there would be valid
excuse for drafting the former President
into service he could accept without loss
of dignity. Up to date, however, the adj
to get panic-stricken over the contempa-
ton of bridges to be crossed in the future,
and the talk connecting the name of Gen.
Harrison with possible diplomatic dealing
of momentous Importance can only be re-
garded as interestingly speculative

THE MAYOR AND THE sLvERtTEs.

1t is evident that the little coterie of sill
verites who have been organizing, or. rath-
er. who think they have been organizing to
conduct the municipal campaign upon the
Chicago platform are really after the scalp
Of Mayor Taggart 1t is equally evident
from the fact that a gang of the
Mayors henchmen broke into the
meeting of the coterie of sill
verites that the Mayor and his friends pro-
pose TO summarily dispose of that small
band of insignificant place-seekers at the
outset. Doubtless the Mayor and his friends
who are not really silverites have taken the
measure of the strength of the Romus
Stuarts, the T. j. Hudsons, the Charley
Coopers, the T. Edward Johnsons and
Charley Bridgeses and have come to the
conclusion to squelch them at the outset.
They, the Mayors friends, know that he
has more to lose by permitting these sill
yer howlers to put a silver plank into the
municipal platform than they can gain by
the support of all the barnacles who are
making spectacles of themselves by carry
ing national issues into local campaigns.
And these silverites, on their part, make a
very grave mistake by assuming that they
can muster the strength at the municipal
primaries which they mustered for eX-
Governor Matthews when he and his intiu-
entail supporters made the fight little less
than year ago. AS for the Ex-Governor
he is yet in politics, and having to choose
between the official Taggart machine and
the men known as the push will adhere
to the power which has the organization
There is undoubtedly much silver senti-
ment among the Democracy of this city.
This is becaus it naturally takes to the
worse side of any question; but the men
who are anxious to make it an issue in the
city campaign are those would-be Demo-
cratic politicians who have more time than
anything else, and consequently loaf about
town They are incapable of learning any
thing, else they would know that the party
managers in Chicago kept the silver issue
out of the municipal platform and out OF
the canvass. Mr.. Bryan was there during
Carter Harrisons campaign, and would
have been delighted to have made speech,
but he was quietly hustled out of the city.
These fellows have not learned this fact;
on the contrary, they are telling on the
street that it was otherwise.
The Mayor and his organization are rely
ing upon the expenditure of money upon
the park system to carry them through the
election. They are already enrolling men
at the office of the park commissioners
with the promise that they shall have en-
ployment. With that power in their hands
they care nothing for the coterie of place
seekers who are shouting for the silver
bullion monopoly.
Doubtless the method taken to scatter the
silverites was the best, since the Mayor is
the best judge; but to the Journal it seems
a high-handed proceeding TO nave ms
henchmen seize the hall of these silver1tes
and practically drive them out of it. They
may be a bad lot, but the worst, so long
as they do not plot against the security OF
society, should be protected in their right
to hold meetings in peace.

The disturbance took place during the
committee vote for the maintenance of the
harbors. John e. Redmond opposed the
vote and discussed the financial relations
between Great Britain and ireland. The
chairman called him to order, andNwhen MIR.
Redmond persisted in speaking he was or
dered to resume his seat. This he refused
to do, whereupon he was named. The pres
ident of the board of trade. Mr.. Richie,
moved Mr. Redmonds suspension, which
was adopted by vote of 223 to 81. When
the House resumed regular business the
matter was reported to the speaker, and
the House confirmed the suspension by a
vote of 23S to 80, several anti-Palnellites
supporting the Parnelite minority.
The House then again went into com
mittee and Mr.. Clancy persisted on the
same lines as Mr. Redmond The chair
man ordered him to withdraw; he refused
to do So and the sergeant+at-arms was
ordered to remove him. William REDMOND
adopted the same policy as Mr.. Clancy, and
was also removed by the sergeant-at-arns.
Mr. Field after having been repeatedly
called to order, was told to Withdraw,
which he did, saying: I obey inc
