A good .i being written just now ab( tit the lerips on which erring Depio <l,ll. those wno deserted the party in ’96 -«-are to be allowed to return. It is only lair and reasonable to say that they are • j, r , <;tiiar,” and that they must become “••cg'dar ' Infor being allowed to partic 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. ■ hat • re situation is growing daily more ftrave cannot be denied. Where it will end -no man knows, but all the indications arC .. : . r Ih '' of indiscretion on ,m -part of either nation would lead to T'.'A. l iS ." <1L :hcrefore - that President McKinley is pursuing a conservative course, and that both houses of Congress, as the situation becomes more grave, are disposed to do nothing that will i D any way (tamper or embarrass the executive 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 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.

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.

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.
