lit is evident that the continued rise in
wheat is due more to one Joseph 'Leiter
than to the Republican party.
The more we see of the Knoxville Sen

With reference to the Macon postoffice
Hut, then, the president has been known
to have a lapse of memory.
Douglas Gl-essner makes this thrust:
"We congratulate Mrs. My rick on the re
tirement of Mr. duHlgnon. She will no
long< r have to stultify her paper on the
silver question.”
The Memphis Commercial-Apeal point
edly remarks that -t'hire are some people
who think it v. ould be much more digni
fied on Mr. ißryan's part if be starved to
death. They can never forgive him for
making a living for himself and family.
Augusta friends will regret to learn that
Editor Pleasant A. Stovall, who was one
of the governor’s party to Mexico, lost his
valise containing his clothing .and curios,
says the Augusta Chronicle. Friends of
the thief will also do some sympathizing
—.when they learn that it was only an
editor’s valise.
According to the testimony before the
investigating committee of the Ohio leg
islature, Mr. Pierpont Morgan, of New
York, sent his agent down into Ohio to
buy legislators as he would send his
brokers on the stock exchange to purchase
so many shares of railroad stock. And yet
a few people in Georgia (mainly hired
tools and natural born fools) scout the
idea of railroad influence in Georgia poli
tics—when J. Plerpon Morgan controls
'ln noticing an article that recently ap
peared In Ihe (News, the Sparta Ishmael
ite says: •
“'Miss Mary Lamar Patterson has recent
ly contributed to The Macon News an
earnest and touching appeal against the
use of child labor in the cotton mills of
Georgia. The cause in which she is la
boring Is a good one, and the Ishmaelite
•wants to see it triumph. The defeat of the
bill against child labor in the Georgia fac
tories was one of the worst acts of the
last Legislature.”
The Barnesville Enterprise is trying to
push R. L. Berner into the congressional
race headforemost. It says: "There is no
man in Georgia today who has done more
for the upbuilding and unitingof Democra
cy than Hon. Robt. L. Berner, and there
is not a man in Georgia who has received
less public recognition and ‘gratitude than
he. True, he has been to the senate from
his district, and is at present president of
that 'body, but he deserves something bet
ter and 'higher than that. He would be a
graceful addition to the halls of congress
or of the United States senate, or any pub
lic office in which he might be placed.
Here’s to Robt. L. Berner for anything he
■wants.”
The Sparta Ishmaelite wants to make
the nomination of Allen D. Candler unan
imous. It says:
"The Ishmaelite has no Idea that Cand
ler will have any opposition for the Dem
ocratic nomiantion for governor. The
Demaoratic masse throughout the state
seem, with unusual unanimity, and with
something very much likespontaneity, seem
to have settled upon himas the successor to
Atkinson. The truth is, it was the knowl
edge that the people had come to the con
clusion that he is rhe leader they want,
that decided the okl war horse to enter
the race: and so, when he got the consent
of his mind to accede to the popular wish,
he found a full grown following ready to
take up the line of march under his ban
ner.”
The Thomasville-Times Enterprise, with
its usual wisdom and foresight, declare
for O. B. Stevens for 'Commissioner of Ag
riculture. In doing so Editor Triplett
takes occasion to say:
Me repeat what has been said in these
columns before, that Obe Stevens would
Mill the office with credit to himself and to
the satisfaction of the people. He is. and
has been for years, a practical farmer, and
understands every need of that large class
of citizens In him agriculture—that
mother of all industries—would find a safe
guide, one Who would leave nothing un
done to build up the farming interests of
Georgia and put it, where of a right it be
longs, in the fore front of all industries,
and on a paying basis. Tried and true,
he deserves well at the hands of the party
which he has served so faithfully.”
The Thomasville Times-Enterprise
scorns to be controlled by sectional lines.
It believes that one Georgian is as good
as another, provided he is a true Georgian.
The Times-Enterprise, notwithstanding the
fact that Phil Cook poses as the South
Georgia candidate, comes squarely out for
Hon. Mark A. Hardin, and says:
“Now that it seems to be settled that
Allen D. Candler will have things all his
own way in the race for governor, the
question of filling other offices comes to
the front more prominently. There is one
candidate who deserves, and we believe
will have almost as plain sailing as Col.
A. D. Candler, and that is Hon. Mark A.
Hardin, for Secretary of State. There was
an evident attempt by certain parties to
create the impression that Mark Hardin '
decided to go back and try again for the i
place he has filled so long and so well.
This attempt, however, failed of its pur
pose, for it only drew out the emphatic
Btatetnent that Colonel Hardin was tn the
race for Secretary of State to stay to the
finish. No one who knows the man and
his record, has any doubt as to the result.
Mark Hardin has a host of friends in every
county in Georgia and they are all ready
and willing and determined to see that he
-gew there.” K „ £)
New York State Politics.
A very interesting political situation la
developing in New York state, if newspa
j per rumors regarding a coming contest
i between influential Democrats in that
state have any basis in fact.
At any rate, members of the party I
thoughout the country will watch develop
ments with interest, for national politics I
‘ is more or leas involved in the fight.
Senator Murphy seems to be say.ng noth- '
I fag and sawing wood, says the Buffalo
Times, in an editorial review of the situa
tion. Mr. Croker is for his re-election as
senator. Mr. Hill has also declared that
he is. It is obviously Mr. Murphy’s play
to prevent, if he can, any demoralizing i
contest within the party ranks in the
state, for such a contest would endanger
Democratic success next fall and the cap- '
ture of the Legislature. As for Mr. Cro- '
ker, he has just been ejected chairman of '
the finance committee of Tammany HaH, i
: the position that carries with It the lead- !
i ership, and his sway in New York city, j
i that is Manhatton borough, is generally
! admitted. Up the state the Democrats, i
while acknowledg.ng Mr. Croker a shrewd {
ress and ability as a political leader, have i
; been accustomed ito think tha: New York I
! city shnui 1 i.. t dominate in the affii-* '
| ‘he party in—the whole state. Therefore
, th'-c Dcm« rats would more natura'y a.-
I'gii th-irsHves with ex-Sec.far 11:11 i'
j there sbculd be any contest for the tead
| e.fcti’p. Z»nl it r..vst not be forgj.‘ej that
the claim that the Tammany leader will
go into the next state convention with 174
VF. S »' iht total of 450 is vulral ns
That is by nr mtens a sure thiig. It J-.t,
cl’«w ti>at because Bruakiya am
N*w Yo k and ctlut borougus have be»'i
consolidated Tammany is the wnole thing
in Greater New York. Mr. McLaughlin
and the organization he represents are still
to be reckoned with. It is by no means
certain that under all circumstances that
Mr. McLaughlin would act with Mr. Cro
ker rather than with Mr. Hill.
As for the latter he has the advantage
ever Mr. Croker in any appeal to tne rank
and file of the party for support ; f he is
disposed to take his stand as a Democrat
who remained regular in 1896, for it is well
known that Mr. Croker left the country at
that time, and it is generally believed that
he would have been against the party if he
had been here, and which was indicated
by his action in the recent New York city
convention, action which in all probabili
ty if Mr. George had lived and the Re
publicans had been united, would have de
feated the party In Greater New York,
since Mr. Bryan got a larger vote in that
territory than Mr. Van Wyck did.
Mr. Hill claims to have been regular in
D!i6 and Democrats are not disposed to be
harshly critical of those who though not
wholly in symjathy with the last national
platform nevertheless staid within the
party that year.
Mr. Hill’s ability to recover the strength
with the rank and file of Democrats
throughout the state that he once had will
depend on the attitude he assumes.
There is another thing that Is certain.
Whoever assumes to be the Democratic
leader in New York state, whether it be
Hill, Croker, or Senator Murphy—and Mr.
Murphy, by the way, oame right out flat
footed for the Democratic ticket in 1896 —
Whoever assumes a position of leadership
must take an open and unequivocal atti
tude upon matters of party policy.
The people are tired of trimming and
quibbling and underhanded methods and
schemes, declares the Times, which is one
of the most ‘influential Democratic papers
of the state. They want leaders who when
they say a thing mean it and who speak in
unambiguous terms. They will not heed
the rallying cries which are susceptible of
a double meaning. They want leaders who
have consistency, sincerity and courage.
Gold, Only Gold.
It may be believed that President Mc-
Kinley 'has at last found his bearings on
the financial question, and that he is de
termined to use all the power of the ad
ministration to maintain the single gold
standard at all hazards.
If hereotfere there had been a doubt as
to his position on the financial issue, it
was finally and forever dissipated by his
speech delivered In New York before the
National Association of Manufacturers a
few days ago. But even more positive ev
idence of the administration’s attitude to
ler resolution, which has passed the sen
ate, but which is doomed to defeat in the
House, because the bosses have cracked
the whip.
And this is the very resolution which
this same McKinley voted for while a
member of Congress. But, now, since
being made president of these United
States by the trusts and combines, he does
not think for himself, but does their bid
ding as submissively as they could desire.
As if to aid in the defeat of the Teller
resoltuion, or else to reassure those whose
money placed him in power, he said in
his recent speech. “Whatever may be the
language of the contract, the United States
will discharge all of its obligations in the
best 'throughout the civilized world at the
times of payment.”
This utterance, coming 'as it did, at the
very moment when a resolution was pend
ing before the Senate, providing that the
payment of the bonds of the United States
in silver is not a violation of the good
faith and honor of the country, places the
administration in no uncertain light.
But there is further evidence that Mc-
Kinley has forever sold himself (for a mess
of political pottage) to the money power,
and this is to be found in another extract
from his recent speech. There is only one
reading of the following extract that is
possible, and that is that the administra
tion is committed to the gold standard:
“It will not suffice for citizens nowadays
to say simply that they are in favor of
sound money. That is not enough. The
people’s purpose must be given the vitali
ty of public law.”
There' is no going back on this. Mr.
McKinley cannot again shift his position
on the financial question, as he did dur
ing the process of transformation from a
member of Congress and honest represen
tative of 'his people to a money-trust pres
ident. He and his party stand committed
to gold, only gold, and on that issue must
they fight it out before the people in
i 1900.
A La Francaise.
In the good old times, the gentle and
polished Addison was astonished to dis
cover that “even the little children In
France speak French!” At a later day,
the humorist, Tom Hood, told his read
ers—
Never go to France unless you know the
lingo.
If you do, like me; you will repent, by
j ingo.
Staring like a fool, and silent as a mum-
my.
There I stood alone, a nation with a
dummy.
Signs I had to make for every little no
tion.
Limbs all going like a telegraph in mo- I
tion;
For wine, I reeled about, to show my
meaning fully.
And made a pair of horns, to ask for “beef
and boullion.”
“Moo!” I cried for milk: I got the sweet
things snugger.
When I kissed Jeannette, 'twas under
stood for sugar.
If I wanted bread, my jaws I set agoing;
And asked for new-laid eggs by clapping
hands and erowing.
These things are done ‘better nowadays.
The Mobile Register learns that the pros
pect of the Paris exposition of 1900 has
given wonderful impulse to the study of
French in Mobile, as is also the case in
other cities, Macon included. Professors
of language, and teachers who profess to
impart knowledge of la belle langue
Francaise. already have their classes full
and have other classes forming with peo
ple who have a visit to Paris two years
henee buzzing in their bonnets. The fad
has become so pronounced, it is said, that
in some families grandfather and grand
mdt.her. father and mother, son and daugh
j ter are all daily engaged in palesric ex
| ercise with the elusive gender and tense
j and dative and nominative, and are dis
i covering as Hood discovered that in
j French—
Chaises stand for chairs, they christen
letters “billies,”
They call their mothers "mares,” and all
their daughters “fillies.”
Referring to the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture, the Albany Herald makes
these wise observations:
“We see a few—and it is noticeable that
there are very few —Georgia newspapers
I urging as an objection to Hon. O. B. Ste
' ven’s candidacy for Commissioner of Agri
culture the fact that the present Lncum- I
bent fills the office in an acceptable man
ner and should not be ousted without just I
cause. Mr. Nesbitt’s record has not been '
assailed by the gentleman who is going to f
succeed him; that is not where the ques
tion of choice hinges. The view which I
most of the Democrats of Georgia take of
• the matter is that Mr. Nesbitt has held the |
■ office about as long as one man has a right
to it. In the well-remembered words of
Mr. Hoke Smith, “Public offices are crea
i ted for thoee who do not hold them,” and
in the present instance it would seem that
| Mr. Nesbitt's benefit has about been paid
; in full. The mere fact that an office of
| trust and honor is held for numerous suc
j cessive terms by one man does not nec
essarily entitle him to an uninterrupted
i enjoyment of its benefits or indicate that
' there are no others available to succeed
i him who are less worthy or competent,
i Mr. Stevens has long been a sucessful far
mer and now desires to place himself in
! a position where he can impart his prac
tical knowledge to those who will be most
benefited by it. Mr. Nesbitt, on the other
hand, has for years been teaching our
horney-handed voters how to farm, and it
would seem but meet and proper that he
now devote a season to the practice of
what he has been so long and faithfully
preaching.”
It is announced that 'Miss Bradley will
christen 'the battleship Kentucky with wa
ter instead of champaigne or whisky. Ken
tucky has been going to the dogs fast
enough since she first went Republican.
The Georgia Cracker says Governor At
kinson is another man who has been ruin
ed by politics. It might also be remarked
in passing that what William Yates has
done to politics has been a plenty.
Says the Tifton Gazeette: “Os course,
there are others, but Tobe Stevens is head
and shoulders ahead in point of ability in
the race for commissioner of agriculture.
BIG MEET
Will be the Convention of the L. A. W.
and Good Roads Question Discussed.
The National Assembly of the L. A. W.
will convene at the Southern Hotel, in
Cincinnati, February 9 at 10 a. m. The
first day’s session will (be devoted to “good
roads.” The assembly proper will begin
its sessions February 10. It will require
about two days to complete the work be
fore the assembly.
An interesting matter will be the elec
tion of a president. The assembly is made
up of Chief Consuls, Vice Consuls and Sec
retary-Treasurers of each state division
and, in addition, there is one delegate for
each 400 members on the division roll.
Most of these delegates go to the assem
bly instructed on the important work.
Isaac B. Potter, president, is the only an
nounced candidate to succeed himself, and
it is claimed he has enough pledged votes
to assure his election. George D. Gideon
of Philadelphia, is being urged by his
friends to run for president, but so far he
has reifused because of the deals and
pledges made by Pennsylvania to Potter.
Gideon, it is claimed, can carry Massa
chusetts and the entire West and South.
If he could add Pennsylvania to these he
would be certain of election.
The racing season of 1898 will be the
most remarkable in the history of cycling.
The men who will be seen on the Ibig
tracks in this country next summer will
be the fastest riders in the world. Among
them will be the champions of almost
every country in Europe. The old game
of short-distance racing seems to have
lost its popularity. Middle distance paced
races are the craze, and many of the good
sprinters have already signified their in
tention of taking up the paced style of
racing. All of this is due to the wonder
ful success of little Jimmy Michael, who
came to this country from Wales with
very little money, and has won a large
fortune. Michael won one or two short
and 40 miles.

Mercer University Discussed at the East ■

The people of Macon are awakening to
the importance there is to keeping Mercer
University up to the standard which Pro
fessor Pollock and his able corps of teach
ers have established. Mercer has grown
more In the past two years than it has at
any time during its history. It is now
recognized as one of the foremost colleges
of the country.

My One Sin-
gle aim is to do better
ROOF PAINTING than any one else.
I furnish matrial, labor, paint the
roof for 50 cents a square of 100 square
feet, and give a written guarantee that
‘‘lf 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- I
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 holder 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 wHI
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.

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

| I have ever seen done on tin roofs. He is
I an honest and upright man, who would not
deceive you 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.”

Mr. Harvey English has stopped a very
bad leaking roof for us with his English
Paint. I recommend his paint to anv one
who is troubled with leaky roofs.
F. White, Supt.
Georgia Cotton Oil Co., Albany Mill.
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.

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 hjs
paint. Beverly Bros. & Hargrave,

I am satisfied he has a superior roof paint
