Third Term in History.

The Atlanta Constitution has sat
down hard on the Cleveland boom, be-
cause of its opposition to the third
term proposition. 1t sites the reso-
luton offered by Hon. William NJ.
Springer, and which was adopted by
the house in 1875. This resolution
declared third term to be ''unwise.
unpatriotic and fraught with peril to
our free institutions 1t recalls that
this resolution passed by 22S to IS,
and that it received the vote of every
democrat in the house. The Consti-
tuition concludes: ANY attempt to ar
que that such expression of the uni
versal democratic sentiment had ref
erence only to three terms in success
sion is a resort of the cheapest OF
bubbles. The democratic principles

Well. it is the fortune of war. When
a man gets tangled up in politics he
must expect a throw down at any
time, and be ready to. take his medi-
cine. BY still hunt and a lucky ac-
cident Judge Carter carried a large
democratic district and for nine years
has enjoyed the honOrs and large
emoluments of a seat on the supreme
bench. That was a streak of luck to
which the republicans were not emit
tied. 1t would seem only logical and
just that a democrat should carry the
old district this year, and that they
should have been given fair chance
to do So But the republicans were
not satisfied. They prepared to grab
the Office by chopping up tie district
and adding republican counties in
stead of democratic. They were very
gleeful and harmonious over the pas
sage Of the gerrymander. They sheer
ed at their adversaries and said:
Wen show them a trick or two.
They forgot that by taking on coun-
ties in the north they rendered it
possible for a candidate Q be named
who could unite nearly all voters,
both republican and democratic, in
that section. 1t was the greatest po-
liticaI blunder the usually clever re-
publican schemers ever committed in
the history of Adams county. 1t is
too bad that good man and an able
judge must be the only real sufferer

Hon. .. B. Ikeed,s Assets.

William +. Curtis in the Chicago
Record-Herald The friends of the
late Thomas b. Reed in Washington
were astonished to read dispatch in
the morning papers stating that ac-
cording to the Official reports of
his administrator, he left personal
estate valued at $431,O 900 net, after
the paying of all debts and obliga-
tions and all fees of administration.
This fortune was found invested in
gilt-edge stocks and bonds. Mr.. Reed
always pretended to be very poor
but some of his intimate friends were
convinced long ago that his poverty
was an affection, because they knew
of large fees received by him from
time to time for legal services and
literary work. He never wrote line
or made a speech for nothing. Each
of the many articles which from
time TO time appeared in the maya
zines from his pen brought him $500,
and / know of one instance at least
in which he received 500 from New
York newspaper for an interview he
prepared with himself upon current
topics. His lectures brought him $500
night, and occasionally in large
cities like New York and Boston he
received $1,000. The year before he
left congress he delivered five lectures
in one week, for which he received
a check for $500.
He estimated his legal services at a
very high value, and unless his client

NO SEED TO GIVE AWAY
AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
 WILL NOT HAVE ANY.
Government Will, in Future, Place Seed in Hands of Experts Instead of the General
 Public.

The Alabama Agricultural Department VIII not have any garden seed for free distribution this year.
 Hon. R. R. Poole, Commissioner of Agriculture and Industries, said yester- day that he was confronted by a condi- ton that was very unpleasant to him. There is no seed to distribute and the ap- plicants go away empty handed.
 There are visitors to the Agricultural Department every day, both white and colored, in quest of garden seed and they are very much disappointed when told that there is none on hand to distribute.
 The National Agricultural Department has been distributing vast quantities of seeds of all varieties, through the State Departments each year for the purpose of having experiments made and to en- courage the planting of different seeds in larger quantities. The experiment stage has been passed and its usefulness has been subserved to a large extent so far as the general public is concerned. That work is to be done in future by ex- perts.
 This. 1t is thought, will prove more satisfactory. because of the fact that the experts will make regular and full re- ports. The trouble in the past has been that persons who got the seed and plant ed them did not take the trouble to keep any record or make any returns of the result to the Department.

MARSHAL KILLS NEGRO.
Charley Passmore Attempted Life
 of the Officer.


 Phenix City March Special)-About 8 o'clock this morning. Marshal Wood Campbell shot and killed Charley Pass more negro desperado, implicated in various crimes. The shooting took place in the woods about half mile northeast of Pl enix City cemetery, and there were no eye witnesses to the affair.
 Three bullets from the officers pistol plowed their way through the body of the negro, one ball piercing his heart one en- tering just below the heart, and one pass ing through the negro's head, entering at the left ear. The negro ran about fifty yards after being shot before he fell. The negro. Charley Passmore, was pal of Garfield Thomas, who was arrested by Officer Campbell Thursday afternoon.
 The Columbia bicycle which Thomas rode at the time of the arrest was identi- fled as belonging to Superintendent John son of the Central Railroad. Thomas ad- mitted his identity. and informed Mar shal Campbell that Charley Passmore, his pal had hand in stealing the bicy- cle.
 This morning, Marshal Campbell heard that PassmoTe was at a negro house in the woods northeast of Phenix City ceme- tery. Shortly before o'clock he set out to find Passmore. When some distance
 
 he wanted and placed him under arrest. No one else was in sight, which fact seemed to afford Passmore a good deal of satisfaction. He urged Marshal Camp bell to go back with him to the negro house. TEe general understanding is that this house was rendezvous for Thomas. Passmore and several other ne- gro thieves and desp peradoes.
 Marshal Campbell declined to accom- pany PassmOre to the house. The mar shal told Passmore that he must accom- pany him back to town. Almost without another word the negro sprang at the of- fcer. attempting to wrest lis pistol from him. The officer was quicker and more active thar Passmore expected. He fired three shots in rapid succession at his as- sailant The man did not fall at either shot, so the officer had no means Of know ing the extent of the injury wrought. After the third shot was fired the negro ran through the woods, the officer follow ing. About fifty yards from the place where the shooting occurred, Passrnore fell and died almost immediately A cor oner's jury declared the killing justifabIe

Bailey, before with drawing from the committee and suggest ing MT Clark as his successor, consulted individual members of the steering com mittee The committee had Senator Clark in mind two years ago for the place and would have put him on the committee had there been vacancy.
 After the committee adjourned, Senator German said the committee had been in- directly informed that 1t is the policy of Republican Senators not to fill the committees during the called session, and that if this policy should be adhered to, the Democrats could do little in that direction. He added that at any rate the Democratic managers would wait upon the Republicans and would naturally con- form to their wishes in the matter.
