ipate in party primaries.
Ph" vast majority of those who erred
ai<* willing to come back on almost any
oil of t< i ns. A great many of them not
only "incept” but even “endorse” the
Chicago platform, now that they have had
a do-e m Hanna Republicanism and Mc-
Kinley prosperity.
Hut there are a few, a very few, who
still i o won't the mountain to come to Ma
homniet and they are 'Mahommet, or at
lea-.i they think they are. They still de
mand that the party shall come to them.
\s a rul< these latter are egotists of the
worst km I. They think they know it all—
but everybody else thinks they know very
little, They are self-opinionated, stub
born, ev<n malicious; and they vainly im
agine ib it these qualities stand for moral
courage nd backbone. To the 'balance of
■mankind it is the same sort of moral cour
■ag< that a billygoat displays when he tries
io .bi.it a railroad train oil’ the track. Veri
ly, these people -few In number —would be
amusing if their superabundance of ego
tism were not so intensely disgusting.
We take it that the majority of “regu
lar" Democrats don’t mind letting down
the bats just enough to let'any repentant
Democrat return, but do oujeet to tearing
vl.iwit the whole fence just to make it
easier for one or two of them to get back.
It would be <iutle as reasonable for a
church to abandon its creed in order that
one or two heretics might return to the
fold. The better plan would be for the
dissenters to join some organization mote
to their liking and remain there —until
Huy again find out that they are not the
whole show, when they can dissent again.
And move oil.
President Kruger, of the South African
Republic, will soon unveil a statue of film
s' If at Pretoria. Oom Paul has ever been
noted for his courage.
All for Bryan.
The Colorado Springs Telegraph declares
that the'West remains loyal to Bryan.
Tammany may connive to sidetrack the lb
to 1 leader and seek a compromise with
'the Gold Democrats on another man and
mt another ratio. But the West and South
will stand solidly for the most popular
leader of the present generation, and he
will undoubtedly 'be the Democratic candi
date for president in P.'OO.
This is the sentiment voiced by all the
silver papers of the West and the South,
and by all the prominent leaders in the
silver movement.
The Journal of (Agriculture, published 'in
St. Louis, has been getting a symposium
on t'te question of Bryan, the ratio and
indepeu bnt bimetallism. Among the oth
ers represented in the symposium is Gov
ernor Adams, and what he says embodies
the sentiment of all Western and Southern
leaders. The question put to Governor
Adams was as follows:
“Is it advisable for us to undertake the
management of our treasury and our own
mints without seeking or waiting for the
e.msent of any other government or of
foreign financiers?”
Governor. Alt ms’ answer was: “lean see
no reason for the Democratic party in 1900
making any change in either platform or
presidential candidate. Bryan is no less
a leader now than in 1596. The principles
of bimetallism at a ratio of If. to 1 are no
less true now than then. The national
'treasury should issue all money, either
coin or paper. Banks should be confined
to legitimate banking. The issuing of
money is a governmental function, and ft
should never delegate to corporations the
power to contract or expand the volume of
money,’ ”
The difference in the way in which the
iDenroeratie and Populist gubernatorial
nominations are being sought represents
the difference in the chances of the two
parties.
Consul General Lee.
Naturally, Spain’s demand for the recall
of < onsul General Lee is not pleasing to
Americans, and we think President Mc-
Kinley has acted in the proper spirit in
refusing to accede to the demand. At the
same time, there can be no doubt of the
fact ,hjc spain has the right to give Oon
smt General-Lee his passports without the
same being considered a causus belli.
The circumstances, however, might and
proeaaly would, tend to widen the breach
between this country and Spain, and, per
haps prompt the president to recognize
the belligerency of the Cubans or even in
terfere t o S e Cure Cuban independence All
of these things might happen, without in
any way effecting the right of Spain to
give < onsul General. Lee his passports.

The ‘Lee 'ncident is not a causus belli
but it may be considered sufficient provo
cation 'for more radical action on the part
of this country—which in itself would
1.-ad to war. For it must be borne in mind
that Spain is by no means averse to a fight
with this country. The fact that she is
out-classed will not deter her in the least,
for, as a choice between two evils, she
would welcome war with the United
would—if for no other reason, simply to
let her out of her Cuban trouble without
the complete sacrifice of national honor
and pride. , *
Bonded Cotton Warehouses.
When the farmers of the South, through
the Alliance and afterwards through tne
Populist party, declared for the sub-treas
ury scheme, they were ridiculed without
mercy. But we thought then, and we still
think that these people underst<x»d their
own needs a great deal better than bann
er* and merchants and lawyers and edi
tors understood them. They were wrong,
no douiL't, in the details of their plan of
relief, and their sub-teasury scheme was
and is still impracticable as then outlined.
But tney were in the main correct. They
were correct in seeking a system whereby
they could use their products as coflaterai,
instead of being forced to mortgage their
entire possessions in order to secure the
small amount of money necessary to carry
on their farming, operations. They were
correct in emphasizing the fact that the
fatmer was and is still more at the mer
cy of the money-lender and speculator
than any other citizen of this country, and
they were right in seeking a remedy for
this condition. * •
Some extreme proposition like the rtfb
treasury scheme is always necessary in
order to reach a happy medium. After sev
eral years a plan has been hit upon that
promises to give some such relief as the
fanners have been seeking— at the same
time benefitting merchants and manufactu
rers alike.
The last >ssue of the •Manufacturers’
Record tells A a new plan for storing cot
ton, which stems destined to work incal
culable benefit to the South. The plan is
the establishment of bonded warehouses
for cotton. One has already 'been e.-mb
lisfic-J at Charleston, S. C., and a
is being organized to build another in
South Carolina. The legislature of the
latter state in 1895 provided tor the safe
operation of the system in that state. For
generations cotton has stood for money
with thousands of growers, but it has been
money subject to a multitude of shavings
and liable to fluctuations in value beyond
their control.
In speaking editorially of the plan the
Record says;
"The remedy for the many evils involved
in such a situation has been long sought,
but until the present in vain. It seems to
have been found in the employment of
bonding or surety companies. The later,
by being bonded in one of the surety com
panies, are entitled to issue certificates, or
receipts, acceptable as gilt-edged coiiaterai
not only in local banks, but in the finan
cial centers of the country. That is the
simple theory upon which it is believed a
marked change is about to take place in
the South. In the description of the
'bonded warehouse at Charlotte the details
of the 'transactions with the warehouse of
a farmer having a bale of cotton and need
ing cash are succintly set forth. They
secm to demonstrate that the farmer will
be placed in a more independent position in
the handling of his cotton than before and
that this system will contribute towards
the prevention of real or artificial de
pressions by the present necessity, which
compels farmers tp rush their cotton to the
market as soon as picked. The farmer
bringing a bale to market will be enabled
to place it in the warehouse at a moderate
cost, secure from the bank the cash with
which to meet his debts promptly, and
having wiped them out, be in a better con
dition tb continue life on a cash basis. The
volume of the currency will be enlarged at
the same time by perfect and natural pro
cesses, and local banks wjll enjoy a great
er business. Moreover, Southern cotton
mills will be enabled to carry cotton in
these bonded warehouses, and the leading
financiers of Baltimore, to whom the plan’
has been presented, state that under sucn
a system it would 'be possible for the South
to get money on its cotton in financial cir
cles at from 4 to 6 per cent., according to
the prevailing rate, as cotton in such
warehouses would be regarded as guilt
edged collateral.
“Such seems to be the promise of the
new system. If the theory is realized, the
next move will be the establishment of
bonded warehouses in all parts of the cot
ton region, with the result of easing the
planter more and more, giving good and
generous returns to the enterprising pro
jectors of these warehouses, and relieving
the stringency which has prevailed in
many places of industry and business.
Fortunately, this plan seems to be one
which can be taken up by the local people
of almost any good cotton market in the
South, as the amount of money Involved is
not large. It is a plan worthy of careful
study on the part of the business men.
bankers, manufacturers and planters, par
ticularly planters.”
The Eastern number of that popular
fashion periodical. The Standard Designer,
blooms forth in a hondsome new cover
printed in four colors. The lithographs,half
tones, wood-cuts and line drawings which
illustrate the contents are of unusual ar
tistic merit. There are exhibited over one
hundred seasonable designs for ladies’,
misses’ and children's garments, and fif
teen black-and-white and colored repro
ductions of imported spring hats. Among
the miscellany may be mentioned “"Notes
on the World A-Wheel,” giving the new
est hints on bicycle toilettes, “About
Easter Decorations,” which should be of
great value to the amateur florist, “Easter
Lilies,” a very clever story, “Easter Sou
venirs” and “Crocheting and Knitting,”
both giving suggestions for dainty fancy
work, and “An April Fool,” a simple com
edy for young people. There are also con
tinuations of “In the Sick Room,” “The
Arts of Beauty,” and “Van Alstyne’s
Daughter,” ithe latter a uoVellebte of ab
sorbing interest. Hints on equiteete, in
terior furnishing, cookery receipts, and
household advice are given their usual
space.
We Gods! And do we find this in a For
syth paper— of 'Berner’s home papers:
“Mr. Berner came to the front at a tnos,
opportune time for himself. Man’y who had
become somewhat disapointed with Colo
nel Candler on account of his epistolary
break could not quite make up their minds
to throw their support to Judge Atkinson,
because the latter's announcement follow
ed too closely and suspiciously the expo
sure of the Candler letter. In other words,
Judge Atkinson has been handieaped by
the suspicion of political trickery that at
tended the launching of his boom.” It
has been said that 'Berner was very sore
because W. Y. Atkinson picked out Spen
cer Atkinson, and not Berner, to succeed
Terrell as the “ring”* standard bearer. This
item in his home paper bears out the as
sertion; it emphasizes the suspicion -tha’
has already been wafted around. Whoop
them up for Candler! The “ring” is rat
tled, and the “men who control” are car
rying knives for each other. Day is break
ing in Georgia.
Douglass Glessner does not, protend to
speak from experience, but, nevertheless,
he offers temperance people comfort from
the fact that there has been a considerable
decrease in the amount of drinking in the
United States. In 1860 the annual yearly
production of whisky was 2.86 gallons per
cipita, while it is today bu. .97 gallons—a
reduction of nearly two-thirds.
The Savannah News complains that Sa
vannah pumps 6,000,000 of water per day,
while Atlanta uses only 2,500.000 gallons.
But then it requires a lot of water for
washing glasses and julep and things.
We are sorry it cannot be arranged for
Bryan to speak in front of the Macon
Telegraph office. Light is more needed in
that quarter than in any other pant of
Georgia.

A Massachusetts member was asked over
a Lacup the other uay bow it fuels to be
a congressman.
“It s purely a question of geography,”
said tic “On bis native heath a congress

an infinitesimal fraction. A few week's
ego I was citlled iroiue to attend to some
important business. I was too much oc
cupied for a few days to find time to read
the papers, but when 'I did begin to read
them again I saw that the country was
passing through an important crisis—sev
eral crises, in fact—the Cuban question,
the Hawaiian question, finance. Affairs
were serious. I felt that my country need
ed me. My absence had crippled my party
in the house. I felt that I was shirking a
sacred duty. My constituents whom I met
eyed nie reproachfully. The nation was in
danger and I not at nty post. I was
ashamed to be seen in the street, so deeply
did I feel that I was shirking. I hurried
through my business and camo to Wash
ington. I went-to the capital direct from
the station und hurried into the house de
termined to save the country even at the
eleventh hour. I put a question to a fel
low member I met, a man I knew well.
“ ‘Why, have you l?<!ten away?' he asked.
I was a tri’.le pained, but I answered
that I had.

Pernicious Literature —Its Effect*.
Books have been called companions. Nd
better description could be employed. And
as bad company with foul minds, bad
books with foul contents damage irrepa
rably the thoughts of their readers impreg
nate them with vile ideas and put trash in
the place wlflch should be occupied by val
uable knowledge. It is well known’ that
an inebriate perpetually indulging in an
excess of strong alcohol destroys his taste
and can appreciate no other than strong
drink, for which he always craves. This
is similar to the reader of vile books; his
taste is destroyed, and ho can appreciate
no others after he has accustomed his taste
to and saturated his mind with abomi
nablo publications.
Pernicious literature appears to consume
the very intellect of its readers, as opium
smoking destroys the intellect of ' the
smoker, for such readers appear to possess
no knowledge of matters which directly
or indirectly affect themselves or their fel
low creatures. They take but little, if any,
interest in matters which rightly claim the
attention of all members of the human
race, but concentrate their attention upon
what is called by the far too mild name
sensational literature.—Westminster Re
view.
The Ofilscr In Berlin.
With all their fine uniforms and privi
leges of precedence one cannot help feeling
sohry for these officers, many of whom are
brave, noble men, for they are so bound
and tied by the cords of trifling conven
tionalities. They must not carry umbrel
las, no matter how it storms, for they thus
show their endurance by a fine disregard
for the. weather, which in Berlin pouts
and cries all winter. Then they never
must ride in an ordinary omnibus, forthat
is beneath their dignity. Owing to the
coimnou sense of the late Emperor Fred
«riek, who while crown prince sanctioned
the use of the street cars by officer's (be
himself rode on the first one which made
its appearance in Berlin 20 years ago), the
army can enjoy that common blessing, but
if they take a cab it must be a first clas3
one, and if they go to an entertainment
they must occupy a place in the most ex
pensive part of the house.
Only boys whose families can afford to
set aside a Certain sum of money for their
use can enter the army, for the pay is in
adequate to meet the style in which an
officer must live. Think of $25 a month
for a lieutenant!—Self Culture.

The Census of Egypt.
The statistic!: of the census taken last
June of what is called Egypt proper—that
is, Egypt np to Wady Haifa—have been
classified elaborately by Boinet Hoy of the
finance ministry. The main results are as
, follows: In 1846, under Mohanuned All,
. the population was only estimated at
4.500,0GG, the census of 1882, which was a
most imperfect, one, showed over 6,750,000,
and last year’s, which may bo considered
as fairly accurate as is practicable, indi
cates a total population of nearly 9,750,000.
Os this total 50.8 per cont are males and
49. S per cent females. After deductions
for women, children under 7 years and
I Bedouin, it is calculated that 13 per cent
I of the males can read and write, the re-
■ mainder beirp entirely illiterate. The na-
I tive Egyptians number 9.008,000, to which
I must- be added 40,000 originally from oth-
■ er parts of the Ottoman empire and 574,-
i 000 Bedouins. Os these last only 89,000 are
i really nomads, the remainder being styled
I semisedentary. Os foreign residents there
are 112,500, of whom the Greeks are the
most numerous, with 38,000; then come
the Italians, 24,500; British (including
6,500 Maltese and 5,000 of the army of
occupation), 19,5'‘0 ; French (including
4,000 Algerians and Tunisians), 14,000;
Austrians, 7,000; Russians, 1,400; Ger
mans. 1,300, and the.remainder are divid
ed among ten different nationalities. The
classification according to religion shows
nearly 9,000,000 Modems, 730,000 Chris
tians and 25,000 Israelites. The Christians,
include the Coptic race, numbering about
668,000, of whom only a very small pro
portion 'profess the Roman Catholic and
Protestant faiths.—London Times.
