For School Commissioner, G. R. GLENN, of Bibb. 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 tinel the more are we convinced that Tennessee deserves an antl-cartoon law. So the prcsidewt has given 'his promise 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. CZYSTOUiTA. The fee simile !s fIE -(ma-.ura/ //erery as -2-/ Have your magazines rebound by The bindery. ,i'»—O R. F~~SMITH.
