The parent who permits or re
quires his boys to stay at home dur
ing the school term is derelict in
parental duty. Education is a pow

Congressional Politics.
The proceedings of the United
States congress, house and senate,
are making record of one of the
prettiest games of politics ever plac
ed before any people.
The republican majority is large
enough for- all party purposes, and
the first purpose of all republican
representatives and senators is that
there shall be no legislation calcula
ted to affect that majority unfavora
bly in the coming election. Pitted
against this purpose is the demo
cratic desire to make such record as
will cause the people to so vote that
the democratic minority may be
changed to a majority in the next
congress.
Strauge as it may seem, the dem
ocrats have succeeded in placing the
republicans into a defensive attitude
on all questions involving party pol
itics.
In all the discussions of array and
navy affairs, involving Cuba, Porto
Rico, the Philippine Islands, with
the numerous investigations of offi
cial conduct of officers and men, the
democrats have been aggressive and
the republicans defensive.
On tariff questions, involving re
ciprocity with Cuba, the republicans
have been forced to defend them
selves against the charge of cham
pioning the demands of the corpo
rations against the interests of the
people. The same is true of the
ship subsidy bill.
In the investigation of oharges of
cruelty in conducting the war in the
Pailippines, the democrats have
placed themselves in the attitude cf
aggressive searchers after truth in
behalf of humanity, the republicans
acting as if they were paid attor
neys for the defense.
In all efforts to defeat the absorb
ing greed of the trustB that arbitra
rily control prices contrary to the
interests of the people, the demo
crats have been in close alignment
with the people, while the republi
cans defend the trusts and deny the
allegations against them.'
So far the democrats seem to have
the best of the argument on their
side, though the republicans get hII
the legislation they demand in tie
name of the party.
The showing now is decidedly fa
vorable to the democrats, and the
hope is strong that in the November
elections enough republican con
gressmen will be displaced to give
the democrats a safe working ma
jority in the next House of Repre
sentatives.
If this proves a correct prediction,
the ehances of electing a democratic
president in 1904 will be very much
increased.

Parties from beyond Montezuma
say the work of grading the Atlantic
& Birmingham road between Mon
tezuma aud Oordele is going on
with astonishing rapidity. The line
is divided into sections, under
charge of different contractors, each
working toward the other. It is said
that at the present rate, there is no
doubt that trains will be running in
to Montezuma by September 1, and
into Oglethorpe very soon thereaf

Concerning the selection of a site
for the proposed Presbyterian school
within the bounds of the Macon
Presbytery, the Americus Herald of
last week says: “A committee ap
pointed by the Macon Ppresbytery
to select a site for the Presbyterian
College were in Americus on a tour
of inspection. After looking at the
grounds here, they will visit Oor
dele, Abbeville, Thoinasville aud Co
lumbus. Americus hopes to get the
College.”

Andrew Carnegie is credited with
saying that there is no other desti
ny for the United Kingdom but an
nexation to the United States. That,
“She must look across the Atlantic
to the children of her own blood
and finally enter the Union as six or
eight states—Scotland, Ireland and
Wales, one each, and England di
vided into two, perhaps three,”
In a lengthy letter to the citizens
of South Carolina, Senator McLau-
rin declines to enter the democratic
primary campaign of that state as a
candidate for i’e-election. He de
clares that the primary in South
Carolina has been prostituted and
perverted into a political machine,
and that Senator Tillman is the dic
tator of that machine. Thid action
is regarded as a formal withdrawal
from the democratic party.

Spice in the Campaign.
In a speech at Forsyth last Satur
day Col. J. M. Ten-ell changed his
tactics somewhat. Heretofore he
has spoken entirely of his record
and his platform, but on this occa
sion he paid his respects to Col.
Guerry in lively style.
He did not mention Guerry’s
name, but iu denying the charges
against himself, he spoke of “anoth
er candidate for governor, the would-
be reformer,” and in criticising the
methods of that candidate he used
the following expressions, and others
of like character: Vile slander, with
out reference to truth, statements
maliciously false, low level, changes
front to catch voteH, malicious and
false, malicious insinuation, feeds
his ambition on misrepresentation
and Blander, a falsehood out of whole
cloth, dirty politics, blackguardism
and abuse.
He said the would-be reformer
voted against a local option bill in
the senate, and now poses as a pro
hibitionist to catch votes.
In reply Mr. Guerry says he has
never indulged in any abuse, and is
surprised at Terrell’s “bitterness and
recklessness.” He says his record in
the senate, as the journal will show,
is consistent with his present decla
rations, and asks Mr. Terrell if he
did not serve as attorney for a les
see of convict labor while attorney
general.
There have been circulars against
Terrell campaigners, and salty criti
cism of these circulars by the Ter
rell campaign manager.
If music in the campaign is con
sistent, rag time selections might
be in order.
Let the procession proceed, with
the band playing, “Hot times in the
old town to-night.”
