Machine politicians and their newspaper organs who imagine “Bryanism” has been ridiculed out of existence, ought' to make certain that they laugh last. “Bryanism,” under whatever name, has given the world whatever measure of civil and religious liberty it enjoys to-day. It made England, despite her incon gruous royal establishment, the greatest constitutional government on earth. It made France a repub lic and drove feudalism out of Ger many. The term is only a flippant epithet for outraged democracy about to assert its sovereignty. Mr. Brypn made a magnificent fight for the people against the allied power of money, caste and monopoly. His two defeats were moral victories. However large or small his mental stature, whether he talks too much or not, whatever his merits or de fects as a party chieftain, he pos sesses the enthusiasm of sincerity and the rare jewel of consistency. The cause he stands for has not suf fered through his personality. Nei ther it nor he iB responsible for transient reverses brought about en tirely by artificial influences. Truth is eternal and a “prosperity” based on falsity can only make our latter oonditiou worse than the former. “Bryanism” will fulfill its mission in America so sure as right will tri umph ovtr wrong-—slowly, it may be, but very surely. The pioneer of a noble accomplishment, like the prophet received with stones, gener ally leaves his bones in the wilder ness. The democratic party has a great opportunity. Whether it will pro ceed unswervingly upon its heroic course or fall supinely into the spoils-watering maws of oheap trim mere of the Hill breed, will be seen two years hence. If it does not eleot to stand for the common peo pie, honestly and unequivocally, an unborn party will supplant it. Democrat. Of Aiiother Sort. A Little Mistake.

If there is one oity above another in whioh labor is a stickler for its “rights,” that city is Ohioago. There is at present a strike of the Bridge and Structural Iron Workers’ Union 11 Chicago, involving the stoppage of work on $9,000,000 worth of buildings; and capital has nothing whatever to do with the matter. The fight is between union carpen ters on one side and union iron workers on the other, over the erec tion of a $300 traveling orane at the new Book Island depot. The o.ane is to be used for hoisting iron beams, therefore the iron men say it is their right to set it up. But the crane is to be made of wood, and must be framed by carpenters, there fore the carpenters say it is their work. Neither side will give in, holding out as a matter of “prinoi- o'e,” and the strike continues as a 0 msequence.—Savannah News. *" m •■W".— — 1 ■ Bird S, Coler, the democratic can didate for governor of New York, is 1 worker and a fighter. “I never won anything in my life that I did not fight for,” he said in ja speech to the Brooklyn Y. M. C. A. a few evenings ago. “The day of the pas sive man has gone by,” he contin ued, “and that of the active man has 'Mme to stay.” That observation is vorthy of the thought of the young men of the, period.

Price, 25 cents Subscribe for The Home Journal, that Frank Buebtner, a contractor of that place, awoke one morning re cently with a severe pair* in his throat, andj as his false teeth were missing, he concluded that he had swallowed them. Surgeons and an X-ray machine were procured, and the former by means of the latter promptly located poor Buettner’s “store teeth” in his esophagus. There was nothing to be done but to operate, it seems, and the opera tion was performed. But no sooner had the esophagus been cut open its entire length than “a relative rush ed in with the missing set of teeth, which had been found in Buettner’s bed.” Naturally the surgeons then concluded, notwithstanding the tes- timoney of the X-ray machine, that it was not a case of false teeth after all, but of acute laryngitis. This little mistake was somewhat embarrassing, of course, though it was open to the surgeons to free themselves of responsibility by ac cusing the X-ray machine of lying. No doubt they were ready to assure Buettner that if they had known they were dealing with a machine of bad character they would have been less eager to usp their knives. No doubt also that Buettner would have been willing to accept these assurances with a meek and proper spirit, although aware that he would oarry the mark of the outting of his throat to the end of his days. But the trouble was that Buettner’s sit nation was more embarrassing than that of the surgeons, or of even the disreputable X-ray machine, he be ing too far gone to listen to apolo gies for the slight miscalculation, which resulted from misinformation, or to make any polite remarks in re ply. In short, poor Buettner was compelled to depart in haste to that bourne whenoe no traveler returns, and where there are neither false teeth nor X-ray machines. lately that gave me an idea of the cosmopolitan character of your oity,” said one of the members of a French delegation that recently vis ited New York. “I thought Paris was the most polyglot city in the world, but I jfiave been led to think that New York shelters as many diverse__peo- ples. When the car started at South ferry it contained a young English couple, a phlegmatic Dutchman of the Kruger type, a bearded Russian, who looked the part of a stage ni hilist, and half a dozen rotund Ger mans. “At the firet stop some Norwegi an sailors and a couple of Turks got in. A little farther on we were joined by a Greek, who sat scowling at his Mohammedan enemy. Then came Ohinamen, and as the train stopped at the stations on the east side the unmistakable features of the Irishman, the Russian Jew', the Italian and the Hungarian appeared. “Farthur up town a Japanese got in, and then a Scotchman and a couple oi negroes. A distinguished looking Austrian gentleman got aboard, followed by some chattering Uubans and a few dark-faoed Span iards. “As some left the car and others came in at the different stations, I was able to pick out Frenchmen from three provinces and a Swiss valet, and when I thought the as sortment was about complete I was astonished to see the high cheek bones of the rarest raoe in America, a full-blooded Indian.”—New York Commercial Advertiser. One Result of Ambition. While overweening ambition, oh pecially that whioh looks to p inl and money, may not be a desirY.M attribute, the ambition to bailor one’s self in the world may, if har bored by many men of one nation, materially add to the aggrandize ment of that nation. Men who have studied the ques tion affirm that it is because our Amvrican workman is determined to rise in the world, because—in spite of his grumbling, his discontent and his strikes, to say nothing of his dis sipations—works hard in order that he may rise, our manufacturers must always be superior to those of Eng land, where the meohanio never hopes to rise any higher, knowing absolutely nothing of the incentive of the American worker who sees in his employers and the higher offi cials men who have worked them selves up from a place as lowly as that he himself holds. The English manufacturers have been advised to study American methods in manufacture, to send their head men to this country to see how time may be economized by organization, the advisers believing that this is the only means by which the British may hope to cope with their rivals on this side of the wa ter; but the desired results will nev er be attained unless the English workman has as high incentives for labor as those that actuate his Amer ican cousins.—Augusta Herald. ——| ; • Probably one of the oddest claims ever made against' a bank is record ed as having Been made against the National Bank of Belgium. An old peasant woman had laid on the grass a jacket containing bank notes of small denominations to the amount of $240 in the pockets, and while she was at work her pet nan ny goat had got at the notes, which it had eaten. The beast was killed, and the chewed paper recovered from the stomach was submitted in support of a claim for compensa tion, which the bank paid after veri fying the facts by chemical analysis and other inquiry.

Georgia is the greatest state in the Union, measured and estimated by the standard of natural resourc es, and when we get to thinking about how improvident we are as a people and how indifferent we are r i. iho possibilities of our surround- i; i/s—the great advantage that na ture has given us in a variety of soil and climate, in addition to our vast wealth of timber and minerals—we are almost ready to declare that it would be a blessing to us to be fenced in or otherwise cut off from the balance of the world for a few years, or until necessity drives us to utilize our resources and live at home. “Necessity is the mother of in vention,” and it not infrequently in flicts seeming deprivations and hard ships upon us which prove to be blessings in disguise. The people of Georgia can grow and manufacture in Georgia every thing that they have to have, and live well at that, and if they would adopt such a policy for ten years they would be the richest people on earth.—Albany Herald. — The Watchword of Women. Modesty is woman’s watchword. Whatever threatens her delicate sense of modesty frightens her. For this reason many a woman permits diseases of the delicate womanly or gans to become aggravated because she oannot bring herself to submit to the ordeal of unpleasant question ing, offensive examinations and ob noxious local treatments,which some physicians find necessary. Doubt less thousands of the women who ha>e taken advantage of Dr. Pierce’s offer of free consultation by letter, have been led to do so by the escape thus' offered from a treatment re pugnant to modesty.
