since the beginning of the session
of congress relaxed in the purpose
to make a desperate fight for the
control of the next house of reprs-
seutatives, and every move which;
has been taken has been based up
on method and calculation.
The republican managers bought
the presidency in 1888. They have
resolved, if possible, to buy the
honse of representatives in 1890.
Thanks to their tariff bill, they will
in less than ten days, be in posses
sion of a corruption fund equal to
if not in excess of the colossal sum
which enabled them to debauch
the suffrage in 1888. The manu
facturers will give the republican
managers any amount of money
they may ask, and although the
office-holders will also be called
upon on the sly if necessary, it is
not anticipated they will be troub-.
led. With an unlimited campaign
fund, money will be ponred into
every congressional district in the
whole- country which offers' the
least prospect of being captured.
Many of the districts where mon
ey is to be spent have already been,
selected. Mr-. MeComas shall have
all he wishes to help his re-elec
tion in the sixth Maryland district.
The effort, indeed, will be made to
buy outright every district in Ma
ryland except the second and third,
which are conceded to be too relia
bly democratic. In the whole
South, wherever a prospect is seen
of successful corruption of the bal
lot, it will be instantly uvailed of.
A Pennsylvania republican close
to Mr. Quay said to-diy money
would be better than the force bill.
Tile democrats have no corrup
tion fund and they have no source
to tarn for any. They must rely
npoD the unbohght; expressions of
the people, audit becomes them to
let the people know the true mean
ing of the issues which they nre
called upon to decide. Documents
are very well in their, way, but doc-
tuments -against greenbacks will
have a poor show. Public senti
ment can but be overwhelmingly
against the wholesale'robbery to
which the- pebplie of. this .conntry
have been delivered, but public
sentiment to be aroused must be
enlightened by-prqpqriSiiicqrrMt
presentation of facts and figures.
The democratic campaign commit
tee should see to it, .andsee. at once
that a friend of the people is ready
on every, stump to meet and refute
the advocates of the monopolists
with their specious and delusive
exhibits- . ' '

A Solution of.the Race Problem.

Mr. William M. Thomas, of
Charleston, S. C., has presented to
lhe public, what he thinks is a so
lution of the race problem. He

our herb and others were partak-; He proposes that in South Garb?
the pleasures to.be found at j lina, for instance, there shall be a
this resort
It seems that he became,. .very
much smitten with the charms of
a certain young lady, claiming Au
gusta as her home, and lavished a
great deal of attention upon her .
One day he proposed a trip to a
spot about five miles from the ho
tel, and on her acceptance hired a
dog cart and horse, and with her set
off for the place a little while after
dinner. He drove as near the lo
cality thiyidesirad, to visit as was
accessible to a horse and buggy,
and then took the animal out and
hitched him to a neighboring tree.
They set out on foot, and after en
joying for some time the "beauties
of the spot, returned to take their
team and return to their hotel.
But no horse could be found.
The cart was there, but the horse
was gone. Here they were, five
miles from the hotel/ and only an
hour or so before dark. No houses
were near, and they either had to
foot it or stay there all night. Of
the two alternatives the latter was
of course preferable, but just here
arose another difficulty.
The young lady suddenly sank
to the ground, exclaiming, “Oh,
my ankle; it hurts so.’’
Tt e young man was all pity, and
tenderly tried to assist her and re
lieve her pain. But she refused
his aid, saying if she could only
get to the hotel she would be all
right after a day or two’s rest.
Here was a dilemma. To walk
to the hotel and come back would
take him until way after dark, and
he couldn’t leave her alone. To
keep her out all night was worse,
and she couldn’t walk. But one
alternative remained, and he ten
derly picked her up and put her in
the cart. , Then, getting between
the shafts, he manfully started on
his five-mile pull.
The sun poured down upon him
and the perspiration rolled from
him, the dnst covered- him, and
still he heroicaily tugged. When
a steep hill was reached he would
stop at the bottom;- trfS carry • her
up it; pull up the cart, and after
putting her back in, start out
again. It took a long time to reach
their destination, and it was after
dark when the queer team pulled
up,; As they stopped the tired-ont
young fellow started to: help his
enchantress oufr/but with, a merry
laugh she leaped from the cart and
ran up stairs. She met a group at
the door and, telling them some
thing, they all broke out in a loud
laugh.
Several of the boys came down
where our hero was standing,
amazed at the proceedings, and ex
plained, .The young lady had not
inrt her ankle at all, and merely
adopted this ruse as the easiest
and quickest way,to get to town.
Imagine the poor follow’s feelings.
The laugh was too much for him
and he left the next day. Of the
Athens people all were begged to
keep mum, and consequently noth
ing bus beeu heard of it here.
Our informant says the yonng
lady felt, very sorry for her “horse,
1— i- n U n -inof’ rtrtnli-ln’f nnn
but she just' couldn’t walk, and
wouldn’t stay alone until lie got a
team, nnd as for staying alUiight

that so muen is heard in praise or

they owe their restoration to health
to the use of the Great Alterative

portioned between .the two houses
on the basis of the voting, strength
of each race, as ascertained j Kom
the registration. If the blacks, 1
therefore, should have the greater
number of the registered voters,
the black house of representatives,
would have the majority of the one
hundred, representatives. .-Mr.
Thomas’ solution pro.vides for
electing senators and representa
tives anunaDy. Only taxpayers
can vote for senators, but any one
being of age and registered can
vote for representaves -
Mr. Thomas’ solution further
provides for the filling of all other
offices, federal, state, county and
municipal, by the legislature. And
it forbids the use of’printed bal
lots.
Mr. Thomas’ solution will do
very well to talk about, but it is ex
tremely doubtful if it would be
found to be satisfactory in prac
tice Like many other solutions it
seems at first to be worth more
than passing notice, but on investi
gation it loses its attractiveness,
and fails to impress one as being
likely to be fruitful of good re
sults.
According to the solution, a bill
can become a law only by “the
consent of the majorities of those
houses,” [meaning, of course, any
two of the three houses. The sen
ate, which would be composed
uholly of white men, could, in con
junction with the house of repre
sentatives composed of whites,
transact all thebusiness and fill all
the state, connty and munipal offi
ces, without consulting the house
of representatives composed of
blacks, and that, probably,. is just
what would be done.; The blacks
would’t get any of the. offices, for
the reason, principally, that they
would not be qualified to'fill any of
them. Of course they wouldn’t be
satisfied with that condition, of af
fairs. Neither would any of the
bills .originating in theiv house
stand any chance of being passed.
Such bills would be, as a rule,
crude measures, or measures sug
gested by- designing -white men.
The only thing that > Mr j Thom
as’ solution promises • is the empty
honor for the blacks. That might
please them for awhile, and -the
compensation that they would re
ceive might bo acceptable, but
they would- see at once that they
were cutting no figure in state af-
feirs, and having gained some
thing would make greater demands
than Over before.
Besides being cumbersome Mr.
Thomas’ solution is objectionable
for many other, reason^ the major
ity of which would suggest them
selves to almost any one who wonld
give it careful consideration.
The negro problem is one that
time and experience .alone will
solve. Tf the northern republican
politicians, wonld let the southern,
blacks alone the race differences
the south would slowly Tint
surely disappear. Differences
which a few years ago were the
source of serious troubles have
been satisfactorily adjusted, and
so will all others be in time.
Work for the Next Legislature.
Atlanta Journal.
The next legislature of Georgia
will have to legislate on many mat
ters of grave importance; but it
could legislate on no matter of
graver importance than the proper
regulation of freight rotes.
The relation between the people
of this state and the railroads is a
peculiar one. It has been greatly
changed within the last few years.
Gradually, slowly and surely, the
’powerful system known as the
West Point Terminal began the
absorbing of all independent rail
way lines of the state. One after
another was swallowed by the big
combination, until now that system
controls nearly all the railways of
Georgia.
The relation between the people
and so powerful a combination
should be closely watched, lest-the
people should suffer by an unjust
exercise of the power over them
now possessed by the combination.
It is well known that thesefrail-
roads are heavily mortgaged and
bonded, and their stock watered to
such a degree that the apparent
capitalization of them is more than
double their real valae. Upon
these fictitious values the railroads
declare dividends and not npon the
cost of construction and the oper
ating expenses, so that an appa
rently fair dividend is really twice
what it should be on a legitimate
investment. Rates are consequent
ly advanced, and to enrich specu-
tors in watered stocks the people
are forced to pay nnjnst charges
i freight.
This can be regulated as iojocal
rates by the State railroad com
mission, but over through rates
only the interstate commission lias
power. The power of both should
be enlarged, in order to protect the
people. The state commission
should be empowered to carry un
just through rates affecting the in
terests of Georgia before the inter
state commission, and the national
commission should be given a pow
er sufficient to control through
rates as fully as our commission
can control those between points
inside the state.
Until these enlarged powers are
given the commission, the people
will be in the hands of this gigantic
combination.Our legislature should
take proper action in thematter and
improve the usefulness of onr com
mission, and the Georgia congress
men should interest themselves in
having the powers of the national
commission made ample to pro
tect the people.

A Prettj'Story of Real Life.
The Indianapolis Sentinel vouch
es for the correctness of the fol
lowing pretty story of real life:
Miss Fanny Gary, a young and
wealthy lady of Chicago, worked
two weeks recently in a com mon
tailor shop of that city. The story
is a pretty one with an heroic vain
running through it. Mary Ander
son worked in the shop referred to,
and three weeks ago Miss Gary no
ticed that Miss Anderson was go
ing rapidly into a decline by rea
son of the hard work and long
hours of the shop, so she proposed
sending her to a pleasant snmmer
resort to recuperate. “I can’t go,
said the girl. “The boss tailor will
not let me leave unless I find some
one to take my place, and I can’t
find anybody.”
Miss Gary promptly met the
case. “You go,” she replied, “and
I will take your place.” Miss An
derson went to the country and
Miss Gary went to the tailor shop.
For two weeks she left her pleas
ant home every morning at six
oclock, clad in a neat plain black
dress, and found her way to the
shop. She stitched all day long at
the coarse cloth, reaching her
home again at seven o’clock in the
evening. It was not until Miss
Anderson returned from her sum
mer vacation that it was whispered
about that the daughter of Jndge
Gary had been working for two
weeks in a Division street tailor’s
shop. Such a noble act of self-sac
rifice will not perhaps, rank in the
estimation of many with the daring
acts of a Graee Darling or gnTda
Lewis, bat for all that, it suggests
much food for very pleasant reflec
tion. -

A Rnssian legend relates that
when St. Joseph returned from his
flight into. Egypt, he found his
shoes in great want of repair, and,-
being aware • of the excellence of
leather work in Russia, sent them
to Kieff to be mended, where they
remained. It is now reported from
Kieff that the archbishop of St.
Sophia proposes to sesole the
shoes and then “expose them to the
veneration of the faithful.”

It is a gratifying feeling among
many that their lives are above
suspicion. Yet how many good
people on account of circumstan
tial surroundings have had the fin
ger of nnjnst snspicion directed
toward them. Carbuncles, un
yielding sores, pimples on the face,
rougli skin haying an eruptive ap
pearance, etc., are in the eye3 of so
many regarded suspiciously as in
dicating the presence of some con
tagions disease, and pointed ques
tions asked that are productive of
considerable annoyance. These
skin blemishes and eruptive ten
dencies of coarse find their origin
in the blood, but not necessarily
the result of contagion. The blood
may have become impure on ac
count of colcls and exposure, im
proper food, weak digestion, urina
ry disorders, etc. However, it is
well to remove the unnatural con

shirt which yon surely won’t con

pattern sleeve and stocking sup
porters have caught on, and will
hold their own. Please inspect
them.’ That’s fine, ain’t it? “I

hands which I most work off at

But that ain’t all, see here;
“ ‘Anyone wno likes high collars

Now see the way it ends np:
‘ ‘By the way, that unlanndried
shirt opens in the front. Call and
see it. Open evenings - ’
“What's ‘open evenings/ the

A Word to Grumblers.
Don’t be a grumbler. Some peo
ple contrive to get hold of the
prickly side of everything, to ran
against all the sharp corners and
disagreeable things. Half the
strength spent in growling wonld
set things right You may as well
make np yonr mind to begin with
that no one ever found the world
quite as he wonld like it, hat you
are to take your part of the tronble
and bear it bravely. You will be
sure to have burdens laid npon
von that beloDg to other people, un
less yon are a shirker yourself, but
don’t grumble. If the work needs
doing, and you can do it, never
mind abont that other that ought
to have done it aud didn’t Those
workers who fill np the gaps and
smooth away the rough spots, and
finish np the jobs that others leave
undone—they are the true peace
makers, and worth a whole regi
ment of growlers.—Exchange.
It Was Another Putty.
A thin, nervous looking man
stepped np to the parson as the lat
ter came down from the pnlpit.
“You have had a good deal to say
this morning,” he observed, “about
a feller that killed a man named
AbeL” “Certainly,” replied the
pastor. ‘“The Sin of Cain’ was
the subject of my discourse.” “I
wish’t you’d do me the favor next
Sunday,” said the thin man, in .
some excitement, “to tell the folks
that the man you was talking abont
this morning ain’t no relation to
the Kane that keeps a livery sta
ble down by tho grist mill. I don’t
want none of my friends to think
that I had a hand in that killin’.
That's all. Good day.”
Catarrh.
Catarrh is a most disgusting ail
ment, and yet many unnecessarily
suffer with the disease. They will
try local applications, which do no
good whatever, but fail to try such
constitutional treatment* as is af
forded by a use of B. B. B. (Bo
tanic Blood Balm), which removes
the mucus poison in the blood, and
thus eradicates the cause of the
disease.
N. C. Edwards, LampassaB
Springs, Texas, writes: “I was
greatly, annoyed with catarrh,
which impaired my general health..
The discharge from my nose wa3
very offensive, and I used various
advertised remedies without bene
fit, until finally the use of B. B. B.
entirely cared me. I am proud to
recommend a blood remedy with
such powerful curative virtue.
B. C. Kinard & Son, Towaliga,
Ga., write: “We induced a neigh
bor to try B. B. B. for catarrh,
which he thought incurable, as it
had resisted all treatment. It de-
