Conditions Must Change.
Twelve lupntbs have elapsed, and pros
perity ilh as far ass as ever, ways a writer
In the Buffalo Times. Confidence did not
bring It —'the igolxi sta/ndard also failed.
Wo hope, but have no confidence in the
hope. The cause that led up (or down)
to these conditions still exist.
There muM tie a change in conditione.
When properly regulated the profits of
capital and lalbor will be equalized. The
process of turning out millionaires from
capital, and paupers fronn labor will cease.
We get just what we ask for by our votes.
The election of '97 was evidence that the
people were dissatisfied with existing con
ditions. And we IxMve that in 1900 they
will ask, .In terms so strong and plain,
that those effects be destroyed that there
will be no mistake tn the meaning.
In the meantime it might be well 'to
consider a few things. First, the people
wore positively promised prosperity and it
has not come lu quantities large enough
to be discerned. Second, It cannot come,
for the principle is wrong.
The people have not forgotten those
promises, that failed to materialize. Now,
when wheat is selling flora dollar, we are
told that we are prospering better than
ever because we cam buy so little with a
dollar, when the poor laborer Is obliged to
pay $1.60 tor flour and 60 cents for pota
toes. And they bear tin mind that taxes
ami interest do not decrease, and the
amount of the mortgage is as big as ever.
And that labor is no better employed, at
no better wages, although continual re
ports to the contrary. And they will know
that the gold syndicate have made every
effort to stimulate trade and the man of
means who had confidence has invested to
no profit, which has Its good effect by in
creased circulation. lAnd that undue or
false stlmulaition will result in injurious
reaction. Amd they know that reaction
may at any time follow so long as corpo
rations rule. To Insure prosperity the peo
ple must rule, and they never will cease
acitlon until they are enthroned with
Bryan for their leader In 1900.
Wise advice is given on “The Mother-
In-Law din the Home" in the February ■
. Ladies' Home Journal. The writer details
the proper couirae for the mothor-in-law
to pursue In order to make her presence
in the heme of her son a delight, and di
rects the daughter-in-flaw as to her duties
In the case. The advice carefully followed
will make the mother-in-law a Welcome
acquisition to the family. The article will
commend itself for its common-sense.
Will the House Kill It.?
There is every indication that the Teller
resolution asserting that the payment of
the bonds of the United States, principal
and Interest, in silver would be no viola
tion of the public faith nor an act in dero
gation of the rights of the public credit
ors, will pass tihe Senate, but there seems
no probability that it will pass the House.
An effort will be made in the Senate to
amend It. Senator Nelson, of Minnesota,
has offered an amendment which declares
it to be the duty of the United States to
maintain parity between Its gold and sil
ver coin. It ds Intended to mean that the
United States shall make its silver as
good as gold, ami that payments shall be
made In gold wherever there Is the slight
est disturbance of parity from an attempt
to pay in silver.
The resolution. It Is said, will be speed
ily acted upon in the House. It will either
be squarely’ voted down by a big majority,
or else it will be amended so as to make
i't mean exactly the opposite of what it
means now’. Mr. Updegraff, of lowa, one
of the most uncompromising gold standard
members, believes that the House should
seize the opportunity to at least substitute
for the Senate resolution the declaration
of the monetary commission, “that, all
obligations of the United States for the
payment of money now existing, or here
after entered into, shall, unless otherwise
expressly provided, be deemed and held
to be payable in gold coin of the United
States.”
According to protectionist doctrine, all
that is needed to insure the striking cotton
factory operatives steady’ work and higher
wages, is to ask Congress to amend the
cotton goods' schedule in the Dingley tariff
law. and double tihe duty on foreign im
ports. According to protection, the higher
the duty the better the wages and the more
the home market can consume. No notice
need be taken of over-production or ex
port trade. But labor in New England is
learning a costly lesson about Republican
tariff legislation, declares the Buffalo
Times.
Mr. dußignon Declines
Hen. Fleming O. dußignon, in an au
thorized interview in today's Atlanta Con
stitution, makes public his decision not to
enter the gubernatorial race. He says:
“It is due those friends throughout the
state who have generously tendered me
their support for this high office that I
publicly announce at this time that I will
not be a candidate for governor.”
It is stated that Mr. dußignon finds no
objection to Colonel Candler, and it i«
generally accepted that both he and Sen
ateor Clay will support Candler.
This, it seems to us, practically removes
all doubt as to who will be the next gov
ernor of Georgia. There is absolutely no
one left who could give Mr. Candler seri
ous trouble, and it now looks, more than
ever. Mke a walkover for the “one-eyed
plowboy of Pigeon Roost.”
Those who are watching the Tennessee
senatorial race have observed that Gov
ernor Taylor Is gradually crawling up to
second place. One or two more votes will
put him ahead of Turley. He will then be
in position to demand Turley’s with
drawal. While the 'Memphis man has had
the largest following, Taylor was not In
position where his friends could use such
demands to break Turley's forces. Gov
ernor Taylor is said to be playing a wait
ing game and It Is undoubtedly the best
play he could make.
The Trouble In France,
Dreyfus may or may not be gufity, but
the French government is—of condemn
j ing one of its citizens to punishment more
| horrible than death without the right of
I such a trial as a Republican form of gov
: ernment is popularly supposed to guaran
tee.
The agitation in France, which grows
I more serious daily, is not due so much to
I belief in Dreyfus’ innocence as to the idea
I that the government has not acted openly
| and honestly with tbe public in dealing
I with this matter.
There is a suspicion that Dreyfus is, to
I a certain extent, a victim of some other
I nation's duplicity and that the French
| government is willing to put Dreyfus tor
i’ ever out of the way rather than compli-
I cate that nation.
Enough has been admitted by the gov
i ernment to show that to publish the real
i facts underlying all this disturbance
i would seriously endanger tire semi-aJli
. ance existing between it and Russia. But
| it is the general belief that it would be
far better for France to brave such a
thing than to risk revolution at home.
The gwernniMt would do better to heed
the popular clamor tor light upon the en
tire troubles emanating from the unfor
tunate Dreyfus affair, now* kept secret,
than to allow the spark of anarchy to blaze
I up under popular discontent and destroy
the Republic.
A Georgia editor says: “Times are not
improving very fast. We are jagging along
in the same old way.” He probably wrote
it 'jogging,' but permitted It to fall into
the hands of a compositor who was deter
mined to tell the truth, even if he lost his
job, thinks the Cleveland Leader.”

The Itluelt Holes of Indian Territory.
The other day a prisoner was brought to
the bar in one of the federal courts of the
Indian Territory. He was told that be
could have les choice of a jail or a peni
tentiary sentence.
“Judge,” said he, “let mo go to the
penitentiary. For God’s sake, don’t send
me back to that jail!”
At Ardmore the space between two
brick buildings is inclosed by walls across
the front and rear v£ the lot. A roof par
tially covers tho inclosure. The gable ends
are open, and u driving rain or snow storm
wets the interior. The mud of the dirt
floors is often ankle deep. Such is one of
the United States jails of the territory.
Under this shed and in the mud tho fed
eral prisoners awaiting trial are herded
by guards who patrol the front and rear
day and night.
At South McAlester is the second of
these national disgraces. It is a stone
building 50 feet wide by about 80 feet
long. The sides of the building are with
out openings of any kind. In one end is
a door. In the opposite end are two win
dows. The only air that can enter is by
the door and the two windows. Men and
women prisoners are confined in this stone
building. Recently the number thus
housed was 176. The smell that comes
from the Interior is such that few persons
can approach the door without being sick
ened.
At Muscogee is the third of the territory
jails. A lira destroyed tbe old building in
use, and a new’ structure, crude for such
purposes, but a marked improvement on
the other two jails, is now in use. These
three places, two of them without coun
terparts in the whole country, are employ
ed to hold between 7vo and 800 prisoners,
either awaiting trial or under sentence.
They are the only jails for a population of
800,000 white people. To keep the 700 or
800 prisoners within these “black holes”
the United States pays $40,000 a year to
jailers and keepers.—Washington Cor. St.
Louis Globe-Democrat.
A South Sea Story.
An English naturalist has just explored
an island in the south Pacific only recently
discovered and named Christmas island.
It was not thought to be inhabited by man
or beast. The naturalist was. however,
astounded to run across a huge bamboo
house in the center of tbe island and saw
every sign of luxury through its open por
ticoes, while the surrounding country was
laid out in beautiful gardens.
As he appeared in the open glade an
aged white man left a stockade close to the
house, and, followed by his native wife and
children, with 20 black servants and con
cubines bringing up the rear, came toward
hiiu. The modern Robinson Crusoe either
refused to speak or had forgotten his na
tive tongue, for be made himself under
stood by signs, and this dumb show was
to the effect that if the visitor did not leave
the island at once it would be worse foi
him.
The white man, like the natives, wore
no clothing except a loin cloth made of
skins. The natives treated their white
master with great reverence, evidently
locking upon him as a big chief ora deity
The man’s identity oould not be learned
- Vancouver (B. C.) Letter in San Fnvi
cisco Chronicle.
The Surprise of All.
Mr. James Jones, of the drug firm of
Jones & Son, Cowden, 111.-, in speaking of
Dr. King's New Discovery, says that last
winter his wife was attacked wit la grippe,
, and her case grew so serious that physi
. cians at Cowden and Pana could do notb
! ing for her' It seemed to develop into
I hasty consumption. Having Dr. King’s
New Discovery in store, and selling lots
I of it, he took a bottle home, and to the
i surprise of all she began to grow better
i from the first dose, and half dozen dollar
bottles cured her sound and well. Dr.
King’s New Discovery for consumption,
coughs and colds is guaranteed to do this
c good .work. Try it. Free trial bottles at

DIED IN HIS BERTH.
As Impressive Death Scene In a Pullman
Sleeping Car.
The Morgan ferry station has produced
many good stories. It has furnished its
quota of tragedy and comedy in railroad
ing. but never was a more pathetic vi
gnette of real life portrayed than was fur
nished by the arrival of the through trai l
from the west the other morning.
When the trainmen entered tbe sleeper
from San Francisco, they found a young
man in his berth who was unsLle to leave
, it and who was then ir the Inst stage of
consumption. Although a day train, he
had been allowed to occupy his berth all
tbe way from Houston, having taken the
train at San Antonio. lie carried a ticket
for Jackson, Miss. That was all the
trainmen knew of the stranger. A physi
cian had been a passenger on the train and
had administered what comfort he could
during the journey east of Houston. V.hen
Algiers was reached, he advised that it
would prove fatal to take tho young man
from his berth. Acting ujxm this advice,
the sleeper was detached from the train
anti placed on the ferry, a thing that is
not usually done. Bringing it io this side,
the stranger, who, by the way, was about
85 years of age, was teen to be rapidly
sinking.
Lr. Formento 'was summoned, and ar
rived in a short time. fie said nothing
could be done. A .-tinrotout was admin
istered, however, in tbe hope of reviving
life until the patient could be got from
the car.
Harry Abbott, city passenger agent of
tbe Southern Pacific, was in the car long
before this. Seeing the sleeper on this side
attracted tho attention of the Rev. Mr
Ahrens, who happened along at this time,
and he climbed on the coach. Dr. For
mento, Mr. Ahrens, the Pullman con
ductor and the two negro porters were now
surrounding the berth of the dying man
The doctor said he could not live many
minutes. Mr. Ahrens said it was too bad
to see the man die without a word offered
up in his behalf.
Kneeling at the head of the Pullman
berth, there was then enacted a scene
which was probably never before witnessed
in a railroad car. Trainmen, who are not
persistent churchgoers, felt the strange,
impressive moment, and, as though by in
stinct, they all knelt about the couch
which bore the spirit struggling between
life and death. Mr. Ahrens was at the
head, while Harry Abbott knelt at the foot
and the Pullman conductor and the por
ters bowed the knee in silence by the side.
The prayer offered up in behalf of the dy
ing man was one of the most beautiful
and most touching ever said in behalf of
any soul. The spirit of tiie supplication
was that, although this man was unknown
to those who knelt by his side, yet he was
a common brother and bound to them by
the tie of brotherly love. For this reason
all men are interested in each other, and
for that reason the last and parting prayer
was offered up In behalf of this dying
brother. As Mr. Ahrens closed his appeal
for divine mercy all of the watchers by the
bedside joined in repeating the Lord’s
Prayer, even to tho porters.
In ten minutes after tho closing of this
pathetic service the spirit of the man took
its flight. He was afterward convoyed to
the hospital, and it was then learned that
the stranger was W. H. Covington of Jack
son, Miss., and that he was of a good Mis
sissippi family. He had been a long time
a sufferer from consumption, and finally
determined to go to San Antonio, Tex.,
to see if becould not find some relief. This
change was successful for a time, but, as
is the case with such patients, the effect
soon wore off, and Mr. Covington deter
mined to make his way back to Missis
sippi.—New Orleans Timos-Deniocrat.

The sympathetic tenderness of a lov
ing husband is everything to an expec
tant mother, especially during her first
ordeal. George Layton, Esq., a promi
nent druggist of Dayton, 0., gives the
following case:
A customer of mine, whose wife has used
four bottles of ‘ Mother’s Friend” before con
finement, says, after seeing the effects of the
remedy, that if she had to gothrough the ordeal
again, and there were but four bottles on the
market, and the cost was SIOO per bottle, she
would have them.
“ Mother’s Friend” is a scientifically
compounded liniment which affords cer
tain relief in the various ailments pre
ceding childbirth, and assures proper
elasticity to the cords and muscles in
volved in the final ordeal.
“Mother's Friend” is sold by drug
gists, or expressed on receipt of one
dollar.

LI Bong Chang and the Bible.
Dr. Coltman, missionary physician
at Peking, hl the medical attendant of
Li Hong Cluing, and not long ago found
his distinguished patient immersed in
; the perusal of the New Testament, a
handsome copy of which had just been
sent to him by the Rev. George Owen
lof the London mission He asked Dr.
! Coltman, whom headdresses in Chinese
as Mau Tai Fu, if he really believed
i the book, and if it was not all rumor
and report. Assured that it was true,
he asked what the evidences were, an
interrogation which the missionary met,
eliciting from the great man the re
mark, "Why, 1 believe that you would
like me to turn Christian." Dr. Colt
man replied that it would be the best
thing he could do, the same condition
applying to the young emperor and his
, people. “We have Confucius," replied
Li Hung. “You have Jesus. They are
t pretty much one thing." Having ad
mitted so much and becoming really in
terested in his new Bible, the chance of
his conversion, in the opinion of Dr.
Coltman, is net entirely hopeless and
would be the highest achievement of
» missionary endeavor since their work
among the Chinese began.

ROOF PAINTING than any one else.
I furnish matrial, labor, paint the
roof for 50 cents a square of 100 squaie
feet, and give a written guarantee that
“If the above named roof leaks or needs
painting at any time within ten years fro
m date, I am to do the work needed with
out any expense to owner of building.”
Albany, Ga., June 5, 1897.
We know Mr. Harvey English to be a
citizen of Dougherty county, Georgia, a
property bolder therein; that he has done
a large amount of painting in Albany, Ga.
We have heard of no complaints about his
work. Work entrusted to his hands will
be faithfully executed, and his guarantee
is good. J. T. Hester, tax collector; Sam

The roof painting done for me by Mr.
Harvey English has been and still is one
of the most satisfactory pieces of work
which I ever had done. He stopped all
leaks in a large tin roof, and there were a
great many. His whole transaction was
fair, business-like and satisfactory. Re
spectfully, a. W. Muse.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 28, 1897.
Mr. Harvey English has covered the roof
of the engine room of the Albany Water
works with his roof paint, and I am well
satisfied with the work. He has also done
some work for me personally, two years
ago, which has proved satisfactory.

Chief Engineer Albany Waterworks.
Quitman, Ga., June 8, 1894-
I have had my tin roof painted by Mr.
English. It leaked very badly. Since it
was painted it HAS NOT LEAKED A
DROP. He painted a roof for Capt. J. G.
McCall that leaked so badly that no one
would rent it. He had it painted and
worked on until he had about decided that |

It could not be fixed except with a new
roof. Since Mr. English painted the roof
it has not leaked any. He has painted roofs
for J. W. Hopson, John Tillman, Clayton
Groover and others. He does the best work
I have ever seen done on tin roofs. He is
an honest and upright man, who would not
deceive jou for your money.

Albany, Ga., Jan. 29, 1897.
Having had Mr. Harvey English to paint
several roofs with his incomparable prep
aration for stopping leaks,' it affords me
pleasure to bear testimony to his honest
workmanship and to the fact that “Eng
lish Paint Stops the Leaks; Yes, It Do.”

Cashier First National Bank.
Albany, Ga., Jan. 25, 1895.
Mr. Harvey English has stopped a very
bad leaking roof for us with his English
Paint. I recommend his paint to any one
who is troubled with leaky roofs.

F. Whire, Supt.
Thomasville, Ga., July 21, 1894
Mr. English has done some work for us
that required the best of paints and skill
as a workman. Without soldering he has
made a very leaky roof dry and tight. It
gives us pleasure to recommend him.

Thomasville, Ga., Ag. 18, 1894.
The corrugated iron roof of our shop
leaked so badly that in times of a heavy
rain, we have been compelled to shut
down all work and wait until the rain was
over. Mr. English painted the roof with
his English Roof Paint, stopped the leaks,
and now the work goes on, rain or no rain.
His paint is a first-class article. We take
pleasure in recommending English and his
paint. Beverly Bros. & Hargrave,

I hav had Mr. Harvey English to do
I some painting for me on iron and tin roofs.
> I am satisfied he has a superior roof paint.
