(Will More Bonds ho Issued'.* A Surprise
Pending from President Cleveland.
|o/ uur neruiar corrctpodrat.]
i Will there be another bond issue, 01
an extra seaaiou of Congress? Those
questions are being discussed, uotwith[standing
Secretary Carlisle's statement 4
that there ia nothing alarming about 6
the government's finances. It is I
known that the bond syndicate wants I
another issue of bonds, which under J
their contract would have to bo sold J
to them at the old price, if issued previous
to October 15, next, and that it j c
expecta to get it. Prominent Demo- ; c
crats have protested against another ' t
issue of bonds, advising instead the 9
calling of an extra session of Congress, c
if the Treasury finds itself unable to J ?
get alo og until the regular session.
But there is no certainty that Congress, ' t
which will be strongly auti-administra- ! t
tiou,would provide the money in time, t
even if au extra session were called. | o
It is predicted that unless there should j 1
be an unexpectedly largo increase in '
the revenues of the government within L
the next three mouths the gold reserve : ^
will have to bo encroached upon to s
meet ordiuarv obligations. Meanwhile j
there is always danger that the gold 1
speculators may draw the gold out. . t
According to the lateststory current J *
in Washington, President Cleveland is | s
about to spring a surprise on those j *
Democratic Senators and Represents- j
,tives who still refuse to abandon their ?
advocacy of tho free coinage of silver, c
and to endorse the "sound money" r
policy laid down by President Clove- c
land and Secretary Carlisle. This d
surprise is to be tho removal of every c
Federal office holder appointed on the
recommendation of a silver Senator t
or Ilopreseutntive, as fast as men re- j
commended by "sound money" Democrats
can be agreed upon to take their i
places. That would be an Andrew s
Jackson sort of policy sure enough, v
but, in view of President Cleveland's 11
civil service reform professions, it is
difficult to believe that he really con- ^
templates putting such a policy intQ ^
[effect, although prominent members of t
his party believe it and endorse it, too. p
,Should such a programme really be t
r [carried out it would mean a change in v
more than half of the Federal officers
'in the South, unlesrfthc men who now 11
hold them should placate the administration
bv declaring for "sound
money." Such a policy would make i
[Certain President Cleveland's control r
of the next Democratic National eon- n
vent ion, but it would all the same be a '
very serious mistake both for him and j3
his partv. Tt would not be tho first
time, and nor tue second, that an ad- .
railui-tration lias tried to muzzle the e
opponents of its policy. But in no a
case in which this muzzling process t
has been restored to, has the adminis- d
Iration which tried it or the party it j '
represented been the gainer thereby, i
It is obnoxto s to the American sense ' j
of fail play. Argue with u man and t
convince him, if von can, but don't j o
mm mis me :iij i?v mica's or by torce. t
.[ believe that this story has been put I
afloat more as a bluff than with any ^
serious iotsotiou to really carry it '
out. E

rHE GRIFFIN
CONVEWTION.
VN AUDIENCE OF 3,000 PRESENT.
rh? Convention Adopts Free Sllvet
Resolutions. Populist Welcomed
With Open Arms.
Ope of tfce most remarkable conven
ions Which over met in (jroorgta asemblod
on Thursday at Griffin.
rVith but few exoeplions delegates were
>resent fjrom every senatorial district
n the State. Ope hundred and four
lounties were represented by delegaions.
When the convention was called to
>rd.er at the (griffin opera house, at 10
I'clook, the capacity of the house, more
han 1,000, was strained in the effort to
eat those who gathered there in great
irowds unable to gain admittance strugrlod
in the stairways and sidewalks for
intrance. While the meeting was com>osed
overwhelmingly of Democratic
ppresentatives, including many of the
nost prominent Democratic leaders of
he State, notably H. A. Clay, chairman
if the State Democrated executive com
nittee, there were a great many Popuists
on hand who showed by their
lemeanor that they were willing to
oin in the effort for the restoraion
of silver to its full function as a
tandard money metal. Tiiey were
>erfectly quiet and deeply interested,
["hey refrained from an expression of
heir vjews and were perfectly satisfied
hat the committee of resolutions of 12
hould be composed entirely of rock ibbed
free coinage Democrats. They
nade no speeches in the conyention,
>ut unanimously voted for the resoluions
reported. It was unanimously ac:epted
as a fact that if to-day's action
esulted in bringing the Democracy of
if the State to a> full and enthusiastic
lefense of the principles for which it is
:ontended the party has struggled so
nany years, many of the recalcitrants
vho have left the party would be ready
o return and join in the defense of its
mnciples.
. But ODe apple of discord was thrown
nto the convention aud that developed
uddenly at the morning session just
when the convention was about to take
. recess.
Mr. Gardner, of Pike, a former repreentative
in the Legislature, who has
leen elected as an independent, introluced
a resolution intended to have
he etfect of debarriug Populists from
larticipating lyid confining the work of
he day exclusively to Democrats, notwithstanding
the Spalding County Binetallic
League requiring ail who were
n favor <V free coinage to send deleth&severnl
counties without
tflCnl tttjkrty affiliations.
Wevious to this a resolution had been
ntroduced and adopted requesting all
esolulions to be referred to the comnittee
on resolutions without debate,
Jut Mr. Gardner manifested remarka>!e
persistency in forcing his resolution
o a vote over the protest of the chairnan
and the members that it must go
o the committee on resolutions. After
ndeavoring in vain to secure a hearing
,nd protesting against Populist attiliaion
he was compelled to yield to the
iernand of the chairman, Patrick
Valsh, that the resolution be referred
o the committe on resolutions.
The convention was adjourned t<;
isar Senator Morgan and in the mean
ime Captain lledding, who is the fat her
d the election reform law passed by
he last Legislature, arrived in Griffin,
ie was informed of the claims of Mr.
jlardner and openly announced that
ilr. Gardner held a position of postnattcr
in his county and that he had
aken advantage of his absence to
hrow au apple of discord in the con'ention.
"Gardner will not," said he, "dare
oisrepresent our delegation when I urn
resent this evening and if he does I
will tell the reason why and show the
ie that binds him to the financial poliy
of the administration." Sure
nough when the convention met Mr.
ardner did not open his mouth. Capain
Redding was there awaiting an oplortunity
to reply but Mr Gardner was
iot heard from, raising even no obiecion
to the unanimous report, of the
ommittee on resolutions.
And so ended the only "incident" of
he day And when it was found that
Ir. Gardner was a postmaster the conention
broke into general laughter.
When the convention organized it
hose J. J. Hunt, president of the
palding County Bi metallic League as
umporary chairman. Permanent orflni'/utmn
off t m 1 Kvr t lw? olnpfi.w.
f Hon. Patrick Walsh as permanent
resident, and Mr Douglas Glessner as
ecretary.
At 11 o'clock the convention took a
ecess to hear Senator John T Morgan,
f Alabama, who spoke in a grove near
y, no house in the city being large
nough to hold the crowd of nearl}
,000. He spoke for three hours.
RESOI.fTlONS ADOPTED.
On re-convening the committee on
^solutions, composed of twelve Demo
rats. Capt. Kvan P Howell, chairman,
Libmitled its report The resolutions
fere unanimously adopted. They ratify
he platform adopted at the Memphis
t-metallic convention, and declare:
That we favor the immediate restoraion
of silver to its former place as a
all legal tender standard money equa
fith gold, and the free and unlimited
oinago of both gold and silver at tin
itio of 1G to 1 and upon terms of exact
quality.
"That while we should welcome the

"That the rights of tbd American
people, the interests of American labor
and the prosperity of 'AUTBPiffUtt industry
have a higher claitil tdlhfffTcJBsideration
of the people's law fBAlfPM than
the greed of foreign creditor^ of the
avaricious demands made by 'idle holders
of idle capital.' The right to regulate
its own monetary system in the interest
of its own people is aright which
no free government can barter, sell, or
surrender. This reserved right is a
part of every bond, of every contract
and of every obligation. No creditor or
claimaut can set u# a right.that oan
take proceaonce'over a oatiohVobligatlons
to promote the welfare of the
masses of its own people. This a debt
higher and more binding than all other
debts and one which is not only dishonest,
but tre&Sdhftble to ignore.
"Resolve'dt further, that public office
is a publifi tfUSti and that the use of
publio patfonftjfe for the purpose of
moulding public sbntiment in the interest
of plutocfacy tends to sap and de- !
stroy the rights and liberties of the
masses.
"Whereas, it is important to organize
to enforce in one State the declaration ,
of principles announced in these resolutions,
therefore ,
"Resolved, that we call upon the peo- 1
pie of this State to organize in every
county and militia district with the object
in view to secure representatives,
State and national, who will favor these

carry them out without straddling or

"And to this end the chairman of this
convention shall appoint a vice president

to the ratification of this convention.
Eeach vice president shall see to
the organization of bi metallic clubs in j
each county in this Stale, and each '
connty shall see to the organization of j

spcotive counties and cities. i
"The said vice presidents shall constitute
the State executive committee
of the bi-metajlic clubs of the State."
In confornity with the instructions of
the resolutions, President Walsh announced
the committees.
Addresses were then delivered by
Jas. W. Robertson, ex Congressman
Henry H Carlton and many other leading
Democrats. Among the speakers

from his recent attack of appendicitis
At (5 o'clock the convention, amid
much enthusiasm adjourned sine die.
THE COMMERCIAL REPORT.
The Outlook Still Fuvorablo. Business
Houses Beginning to Send out Men.
Bradstreet's and Dunn's report for
last week says: All the previously
reported favorable industrial ai^l com i
mercial features are ^conti^utt? this
week, the endurance of the revTval in
demand for iron and steel, the further
advances in prices of the same and additional
increase of wages of industrial
employes, being the most significant.
Notwithstanding the season of midsurn- j
mer quiet in some lines of genera!
trade, the volume of general business
throughout the country islargely in excess
of that one year ago.
Bank clearing totals receded a little
from last week's extraordinary large
aggregate, the amount being $1,021).
000,000 this week, a falling off of 10 per
cent, from last week, but an increase of
25 per cent, over the total in the like
week of 1894.
But the record of prices is of greater
tlrmness than ever shown by clearings,
the only decreases of importance noted
being wheat. Hour, com, cotton and
lard
Merchants at almost all larger cities
are preparing to send out travelers, and
until they begin to exhibit results no \
exact number of how fall trade will
open can be supposed. At this
time the outlook is regarded as
highly favorable. At Boston, Philadelphia
and Baltimore, among Eastern
cities, noteworthy gains in sales of
staples are announced.
Reports from Southern cities show j
further improvement, gains this week
bei ng more marked than in a like period
for months before. Country merchants
in South Carolina are much encouraged
with the crop outlook, as demand is fair
and prices tend upward. Bike reports
;Come from Augusta, and in Texas cot- ,
iton buyers have begun to make their
presence felt. Delayed payment of
sugar bounties checks trade in the
Louisiana sugar districts. The volume
;of trade is smaller at Jacksonville. i
Cotton m ills continue to en joy a large t
business, and several have advanced \
wages this week, but some strikes of ! (
considerable importance are threatened
|or in progress. The weaker tone for the '
,material does not as yet affect prices of '
goods. ?
! Failures in eleven days of July show *
liabilities of $2,503,982 this year atrainst ^
$2,030,300 list year Failures for the 1
week have been 250 in the United Slates
against 230 last year, and 33 mi Canada ^
against 11 last year.

A HORRIBLE CRIME IN ENGLAND.
Two Boys Murder Their Mother and
Play Cards Over Her Body.
Amost horrible case of juvenile depravity
and brutality came to light in Plaistow, an
eastern suburb of London, Friday morning.
Two boys named Combes, aged respectively
13 and 11 years, were brought before a maglist
rate upon the charge of having murdered
1 their mother and the accusation was substantiated
by their own confession of tho
forime. The boys killed their mother by
stabbing her through the heart ten day*ago,
.since which time they have occupied the
[house alone with tho womau's decomposing
tbody. The husband of the murdered woman
,aud father of the two boys is a ship purser
;and is absent#! roru home on a ?'>a voyage.
The house is well furnished and possesses
tall the requirements or a comfortable homo.
I After the boys committed their crime they
lyonucu <? iimiivoi ui vniimi>iRs tnoy round in
jthe house and proceeded (o enjoy them'selvos
bv taking trips to various places on
'.the river, and in tlio interim visiting cricket
grounds aud indulging in otlior forms of
'amusements. When they were arrested they
were playing cards in tiio house containing
the decomposed corpse of their mother, in
company with a half wilted man and apparently
getting the highest degree of eujovmont
from their pastime, despite rbe stench
which pervaded the tootn.
The magistrate was astounded at the do.
volopmouts of the -aoe and amazed at '.lie
cool demeanor of the ooys. Ho declared ho
could not believe the youngsters saiio, and
remanded them pen ling their inental ?-xum
