The News duo not ats.u-e to express Its aympatny with uie cause ir wok i,UK<n v. ........ r i f i i<uri ana .soul ClpaliUU of lauoi. .vt um * ■with any movement tba; u mteudcu to •iiriko num me hiuo« oi mt* niu^.<to attack les that corporate greed and central i/..d power has placed upon them. vve mogluw lßf urgent necessity for a change tn conditions that now oppress the people. We «gr<e with I’ens that it must oe de cided within the next few years whether or not this is to be an oligarchy of weal in or a government ot the people, oy the peo ple, for the people as the fathers of the itepubiie intended it should be. real ize that the I. mlency has been, for Lbe past quarter of a century, toward a cen tralisation of power that will give the V4‘i*y It* w ’-iaOsolu tc control of tlic insuny. And we believe this sort of thing, if not remedied, will eventually culminate in a revolution —if not of blood, at least of the ballot. A revolution that will change or reform our whole systi m of govern ment, re-establish it on first principles uml make this, in reality, the land of liberty and home of the free. And we believe, too, that Debs, -and all other labor leaders, "agitators” if you will, Are doing a good work in arousing Uio masses to a proper understanding of their condition; for this must be done be fore the final act of emancipation can come. We believe even the most extreme of their number are accomplishing a cer tain amount of good in warning the op pressor ami in awakenlhg the oppressed. Wo know that I>< bs who is so gener ally mlsumlerslood presents facts that cannot .be denied; points out acts of op pression that cannot be condoned, and paints conditions that cannot be defended. Thus far we are in hearty sympathy with Jtebs and his mission. But is he right tn Ids idea of a remedy? He projroscH a co-operative system—'the very extreme of a soeilaistle form of gov ernment. and he hopes to bring this about by the formation of a new party. In the first place. It is evident that Debs’ propo sition involves a complete revolution in human nature, as well as in an existing form of government. The latter might be easy of aceomplisiMiient, but the former is a problem worthy of the Creator himself. Such a distribution of wealth as Debs proposes mi; lit have some merit — ns a basis for starting a new •world. ißut this matter for God him self to attend to In Ills own good lime. Even then, it is manifest that such a sys tem would exist only temporarily. Human aiature, ns it always has and always will, would assert itself, as it always ’has and always will, and some men would out-strip .their fellows. As tbel was a better hus bandman than Cain ami Joseph more pro vident than liis brothers, so are men to day, and will be for ages, more successful Gran some of those around them. A great percvwiage of the successes of the world are, we admit, due more to a fortunate combination of circumstances than to the imssession of any superior force, but success and heaven are the goals for which we are all striving, ami Io remove .the incentive for temporal achievements would lower the standard of mankind. Debs is right in working for the better ment of the condition of the masses, but he is wrong in the remedy which he would npply. Ills motive is good, his heart is right, but his head suggests the wrong solution of the problem. This, at least, is our humble opinion, and we are free to express it without losing our sympathy for the cause which he represents. It seems to us that the best solution of the difficult lies, first, in electing men to office who can and will work for such measures of relief as the people demand. Not men who go on the stump and utter hypocritical sentiments to please the.mass es, but men of known principles and integ rity. The complete overthrow of those political dynasties which keep unworthy men in office by a series of political trades tind trickery. Then the passage of laws that will, as far as possible, relieve t*he man of limited means of all form of tax ation and place it on wealth in proportion to its growth. A system of taxation that will practically fix a limit for individual fortunes, by taxing out of existence all ■wealth beyond a certain amount. Then, of equal Importance, laws that will abso lutely prevent the control of products and property by trusts and combines; laws that will make the formation of such un righteous combinations a felony and suf ficient provocation, if need be. for confis cation. A monetary system that will pre- vent a similar monopoly of the circulating medium, and tariff laws based on the ac tual demands of the government. The ■liberal use of the governments revenue in public works, thereby providing employ ment for the unemploye?!. Compulsory education and the abolishment of child labor. And last, but not least, government ownership, as far as practicable, of all publie carriers. Such laws, with such men in power as will uphold and enforce them. will, in our •opinion, solve the problem of unequal conditions and centralization of power* And we believe the Democratic -party is the channel through which these things can be the soonest- and easiest accom plished. The tendency of Democracy, since it has thrown off Eastern influences, has been to get eloser to the people. It has progressed in all things' that tend to u solution of present social, industrial and financial conditions. It is the party, it seems to us. through which the masses must work out their emancipation—their salvation. It seems to us that Debs and his fol lowers. Instead of wasting their votes for a ticket that will be successful only in a few isolated places, would more quickly accomplish the end they seek by co-oper ating with the regular Democratic party in its effort to overthrow the trusts anil combine*. reform the currency on lines that take into consideration the interests of the people as well as the interests of banks and syndicates, and re-establish the government on first principles. The Democratic party may not now rep resent all that they would have it repre sent, nor does it represent all that we desire, but it represents so much more than all the ethers and gives so much more promise of the fulfillment of our de sires. that we would be foolish to abandon it for a party that has no hope of suc cess. If -Debs and his followers will look at the practical side of the question, they will join hands with those who promise them the most, and work, through that channel, to accomplish the other things in time. This they can do, for they are in the majority, ami in this country the majority can rule if it will. The election of Mr. Hanna to the United States senate from Ohio has saved some cabinet officer his job. Launching Van Wyck’s Boom. Our morning Republican contemporary fairly outdoes itself in enterprise this j morning by double-leading an article from yesterday’s Atlanta Journal pur ■ J porting to show that the New York Jour- ' , . nal has deserted Bryan and 16 to 1. It also shows characteristic modesty in . ; announcing in its headlines that the New ; York Journal "Has been reading the Ma ; con Telegraph.” This, from the Tele- I graph's standpoint, fully explains the i Journal’s change of heart. I It is difficult to decide which is the most j Interesting, the Telegraph’s display of gall or rhe announcement that McEwen, ■ an editorial writer on the Journal, thinks Bryan ia not the man for the nomination I in 1900. j However, neither need cause any con- j I cern; for the Telegraph s egotism cannot ' j do any harm unless it happens to "strike- I in,' and Mr. McEwen's opinion of Bryan ! ; is worth no more than any other man's ! , I opinion. Nor is it really worth as much, when ; j we consider the circumstances that have : . led up to its expression. In the first ! I place, the Tammany crowd, with whom i | the New York Journal trains, is deter- ' I mined to start a presidential boom for ; • Van Wyck. The New York Journal's in- j j terests lie in standing by Tammany in all I of its undertakings.and, for some time j past, it has shown a disposition to push ! ; \an \\ yck s claims for the presidential nomination. Not that Van Wyck can measure up to | Bryan in any single particular, but simply because he is—Tammany’s candidate. Not that the Journal loves Bryan less, but Tammany more. And this is all there is to the Journal’s change of heart. If, in deed, it has changed at all, a thing which we do not concede until we have it from a better source.. In the meantime, it is not out of place •to consider the Van Wyck boom as it is. It is founded on nothing except Tamma ny’s alleged ability to carry New York state, and the Democratic irarty’s alleged need for New York’s electoral votes in national elections. But to offset this claim, is the growing belief that the Democratic piiiy can gel along without New York. Besides this, there is a force at work in this country that means the inevitable overthrow of the party of trusts and com bines. It Is coming just as surely as the republic lives—and it is coming even if the republic succumbs. Nothing can stop it. Tiie Democratic party is recognized as the party that must drive the corruption ists and trusts out of [lower, and Bryan is recognized as the leader ot the Democratic party. The mere deflection of the New York Journal, in the hope of securing the nom ination for a Tammany man, cannot pre vent Bryan’s .nomination, nor prevent the defeat of the Republican party in 1900. I-t is a traitorous act, to be sure, for the Journal to make a compromise at 'this stage of the fight, to sacrifice principle for what it would term "practical politics,” hut It can have no serious effect on the events of 1900. The people are determin ed 'tn throw off present conditions and to work out their emancipation through the Democratic party—with Bryan as its standard bearer. Mr. MdEwen, and others who have been "reading the Macon Telegraph,” to the contrary notwithstanding. ap soi jn(( roE htrahtrah rthtrahtrarr The latest absconder from Georgia is described as "6 feet two inches tall and about SIO,OOO short.” This seems to be the long and Short of it, says the Birming ham News. Has No Voice In the Matter. today's ‘Atlanta Constitution contains the following pointed editorial: The (.Macon Telegraph, strangely enough, seems to lie taking some interest in the nomination by the Democrats of a candi date for governor of Georgia. We publish elsewhere an extract from what it says, and commend it to our readers as ■». sort of political curiosity. The Telegraph is in favor of the Re publican principles of high protection and the gold standard, while the Democrats of Georgia are in favor of a 'tariff for revenue and the free coinage of silver—the two policies being as opposite os the poles. No doubt it would be thought very strange if,- when the Republicans were proparing to nominate a candidate, the Constitution should undertake to give them a column of tepid advice about what they should do and how they should arrange their matters, but it would not be stranger than this amusing piece from the Macon Telegraph, in which, ‘as a gold organ, it expresses a lively hope th;»t the free coin age party shall have no clique nor ela query. Nevertheless, we bid our gold standard contemporary be of good Cheer. The mat ter it is nervous about will go forward quite to the sat isfaction of the'Democratic people of Georgia. The Constitution led the fight some time ago for the abolition of packed "mass” meetings, and the sub stitution of a primary election, at which every voter willing to subscribe to the tenets of the Democratic party should have the privilege of casting a ballot for the candidate of his choice, uninfluenced by cliques, elaquers, tricksters, rings and what not. The people took a hand in the demand for reform in this matter, and the contest in behalf of primaries was won. The peo ple have since had opportunity to express their choice in the freest and most unmis takable way. That is the end and aim of true Democracy—to get at the will of the people fairly and freely expressed, and carry it out. The Constitution goes on the theory that it is never too early for the people to take into consideration the conditions that confront them; that it is never too early for them to take the measure of those who are ambitious for office; and that it is never too early for them to cast about in their own minds preliminary to settling upon a candidate entirely worthy of their suffrages. The gold standard, of which the Tele graph is so stout an advocate, has so far taken value out of the property and pro ducts of the people that all interests in this state stand face to face with an economic crisis of alarming proportions. In the face of these conditions, which have been growing and gathering in force for a number of years, the tax rate has constantly grown higher until it has reached the highest mark ever known. It is now so high as to constitute a con siderable drain on the resources of the people, and unless some remedy is found, this drain will become even greater than it now is. What is that remedy? The first step toward finding it. is for the peo ple in their wisdom to select as a candi date for governor a man whose character and career will commit him to the most rigid economy n the administration of the affairs of the state—a man who will impress his individuality on the legisla ture. and who will keep down all public expenditures to the lowest possible notch —a man who represents the common peo ple, who represents genuine Democracy, who stands squarely on the Chicago plat form. who Is in favor of every demand in that document, and who knows .ne needs of the people. Such a man will be nominated, not by cliques or combinations, but by the people at the ballot box in the primaries. The Newnan Herald and Advertiser comes forward with this explanation: "The report circulated by some of the newspapers of the state that Senator A. O. Bacon was not complimented with an invitation to the 'possum supper at New nan on New Year's eve is untrue. The further insinuation that his name was purposely omitted from the invitation list for political reasons is absurdly false. The Herald and Advertiser is authorized by the committee to state that an invitation was mailed to Senator Bacon, at Macon, on Monday, December 27th. and the hour of mailing was sufficiently early to insure its arrival at the office of destination Monday night. If Senator Bacon failed to receive it, the fact is chargeable to the postal service and not to the committee.” Chicago street car robbers are doubtless of the opinion that the particular kind of pin that is mightier than the sword is the hat pin, eays an exchange. <4l POWDER Absolutely Pure Everlastingly Keeping at it. “Keeping at it” is the secret of success. Espeeialy is it eo in advertising. The his tory of business success in this country is full of instances wherein advertising has been the direct means of the accumulation of large fortunes. And as time has gone on, and competition has increased in every line of trade, the necessity of generous and constant advertising has growm greater, until it has become the essential, without which failure is almost certain. There is no better advertising medium than The Macon Evening News through which to reach the buyers of not only Ma con, hut of the sections of the state sur rounding Macon. The News circulation in Macon is a larger percentage of the city's total population than is the circulation of the World or Herald of the population of the metropolis. The News has more Macon readers than any other Macon paper. Hence it is the unequaled adver tising medium of the city; and, fur more, it reaches all classes of people. You not only find it in stores and offices and shops and factories, but it goes into the homes of the people, and is read by the ladies of the family as well. We have received the tenth issue of the Newspaper Manual of Remington Bros., of New Y’ork, iN. Y'., and Chicago, 111. The contents include complete lists of all the newspapers in the United States and Can ada, with their days of issue, politics and circulations, and priperly classified lists of the principal dallies and weeklies, and the best agricultural, religious, scientific and trade publications and leading magazines. All the lists are catalogued by towns in circulation, and 'properly classified lists of the population is given of each town and the county tri which it is located. The Manual contains a vast quantity of val uable information, concisely arranged, and is handsomely and substantially bound. As a book of reference it must prove invalua ble in every business office, as well as to every one doing business as an advertiser. The actions of some of the governments of Europe, looking to the invasion of' China, attracts the attention of the world, and the question is asked by some wheth er the concentration of so many war ships in the Pacific may not mean some opposition to the annexation of Hawaii to the United (States; if so, the war ships will be handy to enforce whatever objec tions may bo made. It is not possible that England will get up a fight with the United States, but there is no knowing what, the young Emperor of Germany may have in mind. In view of all the facts it is thought best that the United States may be well represented (by her navy in the Pacific, as a party of observation, so as to be able to take a hand if necessary in behalf of this government, to the end that her rights may be protected. The postoffleff departmnnt has found it necessary to issue a notice that the recent consolidation of the cities and towns com prising Greater New York did not change the postal arrangements as affecting the several localltiee. This notice was found necessary because of the many mistakes made by persons addressing mail matter to friends in various parts of tlhe metrop olis and esignating tike city location sim ply as “Greater New York.” There are said to be over three hundred streets and avenues in Brooklyn similar in name to those in New oY'rk city proper, so that mail containing the the names of any of them as the street address for delivery would not be definitely enough indicated to insure its delivery unless the city as formerly known was indicated. Messrs. Bradstreet and Dun state that all articles of food now cost the wage earner more than formerly, and also that our iron and steel manufacturers in whose favor there is a duty of about 50 per cent to protect them from foreign competition are now selling quantities of their nroduc tions both in Asia and Europe—and be cause they can undersell the manufac turers there. It is naturally asked why the necessity of a tariff in those particular lines of American manufacture. The in crease price made by the tariff, to be paid by the American consumers, which pro duces big dividends for the manufacturers, and a decline of the bank balances of the Americans who are obliged to use that kind of property in their business. i There are dozens of reasons as to why Hawaii should be annexed, and while there is some doubt as to whether the treaty now under consideration in the senate will receive the necessary two thirds majority, it is certain that a ma jority will vote for a bill to annex, and that the house will concur. It is only per tinent to give one reason, and that is that the possession of Hawaii protects our vast expanse of Pacific coast line from pos sible attack by any hostile power. No modern fleet can cross the Pacific in con dition to make an attack, without stop ping at Hawaii. PUTZEL’S VAUDEVILLE. Every Night.
