Tile suffrage plan proposed ill the Louis-
Jana eoiiMttutiOOal convention has failed
without coming to a vote.
The Houston Home Journal nominates
Judge Turner for the governorship. The
Home Journal is also trying to do impos
sible things.
Says the Americus Herald: "Mr. Bryan
thrilled thousands wii.h his speech in Ma
con, but there was no Joy in the office of
the Telegraph.”
The Sparta Ishinaellte, as a friend of
Candler, advisis him to take advantage
of Sam Jones’ absence from the state, to
push his candidacy. ‘‘lt is a rare oppor
tunity," says Editor Lewis.
When Roger Q. Mills quits the senate
at the end of his present term he will have

will not have left his imprint upon a sin

Hun’s Review reported for 'tjie week
ending March sth, 251 business failures in
the United States against 216. for the same
week last y« :.r. Silver exports since Jan
uary are nearly as large as the amount
that the treasury bought, monthly during
the time the Sherman law was in force,
being aet- seven millions of dollars.

•the age of 12 years is news to him. a fact
tin his early life that he came way down
to Georgia to learn, says the Augusta
Chronicle. He ho was not a prodigy,
nor a la»y orator, ami never made a poli
tical speech before he was 21 years old.
Mr. Bryan is here. He had a rousing
j-fcoptiou when .ho arrived yesterday, and
is being li.indsomi ly entertained. Tonight
ho will speak at the tabernacle, and a host
of. people will hoar him. We hope Mr.
Bryan will enjoy his stay in Atlanta. —

■will, and so will the people—whether the
Journal dpes or not.
An odd tombstone has been placed in a
cemetery in Lincoln, Neb. It marks the
grave of James Jacobs, a butcher, who
died in 1891. The deceased was of roving
. disposition, so his father had a valise
modeled in marble and placed on the
grave. The inscription, in addition to the
name, date of birth and death, is ‘‘Here
is where he stopped last.”
The news papers that are applying
vicious epithets to W. H. Harvey, the
noted author of “Coin’s Financial School”
and other works are slitiply belittling their
own standing and reasoning, thinks an
exchange. Mr. Harvey’s financial utter
ances and publications have received 1 world
■wide recognition and he stands today as
one’ of the ablest writers on the money
question. Were this not so Senator Hoar
would never have been put up by the gold
standard advocates to meet Mr. Harvey
in thl> notable debate held at Chicago a
few years ago.
•The Springfield (Mass.) Republican pays
this splendid tribute to the South:
“The South is receiving high praise from
(the Northern press for the unanimity with
■which its senators and representatives
voted for the $50,000,000 appropriation for
national defense 1 . The South is the most
interesting part of this country. It has
more inherent poetry and romance than
all the rest of the land put together: its
history contains the most impressive
drama of modern times, and it has pro
ductal statesmen and soldiers as great as
any in the English-speaking world since
tWilliam the Conqueror.”
A Washington dispatch says it is stated
at the state department that the Ottawa
reports that Great Britain and the United
States have signed a treaty for the settle
ment of the Alaskan boundary dispute are
correct, no treaty having been signed as
yet and the matter still being a subject
of negotiation. The department will say
nothing regarding the details from Ottawa
as to an agreement that the boundary line
shall be computed from the shore line,
following it iu all its sinuosities, and that
the tops of mountain peaks shall mark
the limits of American territory but it is
intimated that the Otawa reports are a
little strained.
The Augusta Chronicle notes that the
publication about the Maine in yesterday's
'''.ironic!?, sen: on: by the Army and Navy
llegister. has done more to convince peo
ple that the Maine was blown up .by a
Spanish mine, and intentionally done, than
anything heretofore fciven out. The story
as published Is that a government mine
vas deliberately exploded, and the Maine
was purposely moored, through Spanish
treachery. where it could he destroyed.
The Chronicle very justly takes the posi
tion that the Army and Navy Register is
given an authority it does not possess., and
an official standing that is not its due.
Some credit is as the organ of the war de
partment. and suppose that it speaks ex-
Cathedra. Such is not the case. Just as
the Manufacturer’s Record makes a spe
cialty of industrial news, the Textile
"World of textile news and the Boot and
Shoe Reporter of news relating to the shoe
and leather business, just so the Armv and
Navy Register devotes itself to procuring
and publishing news of the army and
navy. But just as the Manufacturer’s Re
cord may publish manufacturing stories
that are erroneous, so the Army and Navy
Regi. ter may give publicity to sensational
rumors that the heads of the Army and
Navy departments know to be untrue.
Shall We Get Their Consent? T
Why don’t the goldbugs insist that w C
shall not. declare war without the consent
of other nations? It would be quite as
reasonable as to say we shall not regulate
our finances and correct abuses which are
admitted to exist until other nations give
their consent. See where this sort of logic
carries us. Let’s suppose England, France
and Germany were opposed to a conflict
between the United States and Spain,
would we send over a commission to gain
their consent before handing the Spanish
government our ultimatum. On the other
hand, England alone, of all other nations,
is most interested in the maintenance of
the gold standard in the United States,
and most opposes any effort on our part
toward bi-metallism. And to England
alone we leave the decision. We even send
a commission to Europe to ascertain the
attitude of other nations and to try to
secure their co-operation. They find
France willing, even anxious, to make the
change, and meet with encouragement
from other nations. But England frowns
U|A>n our proposition. And we tamely sub
mit to her dictation.
is no higher in one country than In the
such interference on the part of England
or any other nation in .the little matter
now pending suHth Spain? It would stir
every heart that has a drop of American
blood in it, and cause every American who
is able to carry a gun Jo volunteer his
services. Yet these’same Americans sub
mit to England’s dictation in another and
far more important matter.
Will They Go Unavenged?
Although Sheriff Martin has been ac
quitted of the charge of murder, it is by
no means certain that the other seventeen
indictments banging over the heads of the
deputies who wantonly killed nineteen
striking miners at Latimer, Pa., last Sep
tember, no convictions may follow, If tfye
cases are brought to triai.
The acquittal o’ 'Sheriff 'Martin and his
deputies was not unexpected in view of the
difficulty in getting at the real question at
issue, who it was that gave the order to
fire, and Who it was that fined the shot
that killed the striker for whose murder
these defendants were being tried.
But the first trial brought out evidence
enough to assist in convicting several of
the deputies for manslaughter, because
they are fully known as men who left thS
ranks of the deputies at the first volley,
and CJiberalely followed, 'for a s'hort dis
tance the fleeing strikers, at the same time
firing tft them and (bringing them down.
As an exchange forcibly points out that
there was more on trial than Sheriff Mar
tin and his indiscriminately picked depu
ties.
T'he right of workmen to peaceably as
semble and request a redress of grievances
was on trial.
It is no part of the issue that a majority
of these men are of foreign Ibirth and
spoke languages different from that of the
Constitution of the United States.
To penetrating minds the verdict of ac
quittal was not unexpected. Yet, the ’.tes
timony warranted ‘something different.
It was s'hown:
1. That Sheriff Martin lacked coolness
and judgment at critical times.
2.11e, ,in fact, did no select his deputies,
'but assigned this important duty to al
leged friends, who were responsible neith
er to him nor to the Commonwealth.
3. Certaih deputies were better fitted for
the striped garb than to bear the insignia
of authority.
4. There was no real head to the posse,
as many of the deputies did not know
Sheriff Martin.
5. 'Many of t'he strikers were killed wji'ile
fleeing—the wounds in their backs "proved
this. A hundred "witnesses'testified 'to that
fact.
6. Deputies snatched “Old Glory” from
the hands of a marching striker, brutally
beat him, and afterwards the victim of the
assault was found dead.
7. All through the trial it could be per
ceived that the deputies went out to “do
some killing."
While it is true that in the suppression
of lawlessness considerable latitude should
'be permitted officials, it ought to 'be Im
pressed upon every posse recruit .that, be
cause he is 'handed a gun, his mission is
not to kill unless he feels and realizes that
his own life is in Immediate jeopardy or
that he 4s acting strictly within the letter
of the law.
Blunders 'at times are quasi-eniminail.
When t'heso stupidities culminate in the
taking of life the charge of manslaughter
should (be pushed home. 'When men kill
their fellows through" sheer wan'tonnes-s
and thirst for blood, the killers should be
accountable to the law.
'No man has the right to slay, only as
the law gives him that right. A sheriff
or 'a deputy sheriff has no more right in
this regard than a private citizen.
Money and Prices.
When the Democrats declare that we
need more money in this country they are
often answered that to increase the vol
ume of the circulating medium would be
to depreciate our money and at the same
time raise the cost of living to the common
laborer and others who are paid wages.
The intelligent Indianapolis Sentinel
answers this argument by presenting the
figures relating to the per capita circula
tion of different countries and showing
that there is no more depreciation of the
currency in France, where the per capita
is over $35, than in Germany, where it is
less than S2O and that the cost of living
is no higher in one country han in the
other. Referring to thjs theory the Sen
tinel says:
If this be true, it must necessarily be
true that prices are highest in the coun
tries that have the largest circulation, and
lowest in those of the smallest circulation,
proportionally to the circulation. It is.
very easy to determine whether this is
true or not. All authorities agree that the
circulation of France is larger than that
of any other gold standard country. By
the report of the director of ‘the mint for
1596 the total per capita circulation of
various gold standard countries—gold, sil
ver and paper—is as follows:
France $35 47
Belgium 28 49
Australia 27 96
Holland 24 06
Uniteel States 24 03
Great Britain 20 80
Germany 19 28
Egypt 19 21
Switzerland 10 SO
Spain 10 60
Norway 6 65
Turkey•. 4 09
Sweden 2 79
As a matter of fact, prices average near
ly the same in all these countries, which
could not possibly be true if there was
any truth in Mr. Baker’s theory. He
would have prices more than twice as high
in Norway as they are in Sweden, and
nearly five times as high in Egypt as they
are in Turkey. If there were any such
difference in prices due. to the amount of
money in circulation, France could not
ship goods anywhere, because her home
prices would be highest. The United
Slates and Australia could not ship goods
to Great Britain or Germany, much less
■to Sweden.
Where there is confidence in the stability
and resources of the government, this
commonly mistaken theory of the effect
of the quantity of money will not apply to
the recognized standards of money of the
country, whether gold or silver, or both—
the money of ultimate redemption, com
ments the Houston Post. The greater
abundance of such a circulating medium
at any time over another, does not sud
denly disturb values or create disastrous
fluctuations in either the money or the
commodities it purchases, but the larger
■the per capita the easier the transactions
of business and the more prosperous the
general volume of business in the country.
Ami as the general business of the Nation
improves and there are more purchasers,
only in that why there gradually ap
pear an increase in prices for those arti
cles most in demand. Prices are based
at last on the old law of supply and de
mand rather than on the quantity or
scarcity of money, except in so far as the
lattes regulates the number of those capa
ble of purchasing what they desire.

Absolutely Pure
As to ludge Meyerhardt.
We have thought for sometime that we
were due Judge Max Meyerhardt an opol
ogy for the construction placed upon his
action in connection with rhe famous
Candler letter. Now that Judge Meyer
hardt has frankly apologized to Colonel
Candler for his.part. in the affair, and has
even assured him of his earnest support
in bis race for governor, we are convinced
that the gentlemah’s motives throughout
have altogether correct, and we take pleas
ure in setting Judge Meyerhardt right be
fore our readers. The fact that Judge
Meyerhardt has earned the- ill-will of the
Rom-? Tribune by his course in the matter
is additional proof that he has been guilty
of no improper conduct or political trick-r
ery. Judge Meyerhardt. has clearly demon
strated that the letter received by him
bore no evidence of being confidential or
personal, and in showing it to the editor
of the Rome Tribune he became uninten
tionally a party to a piece of political
chicanery thoroughly characteristic of the
Atkinson ring, but not tp his own liking.
The use to which the- ring has sought 'to
nut the Candler letter has made Judge
Meyerhardt more than ever a friend of
Colonel Candler, and an advocate of fair
methods in politics. He, therefore, stands
acquitted of any intentional complicity in
the Rome Tribune’s questionable act.
The Cuban Bond Syndicate.
The Washington Times asserts that a
syndicate of New York capitalists and
Washington politicians have bought for
$100,000,000 the face value of $100,000,000
of Spanish-Cu'ban bonds. It "ailso states
that these nolble patriots, are working for
all they are worth to have our government
endorse these bonds and thus secure
Spain’s consent to free Cuba and go back*
across the Atlantic. We frequently see
mention in telegrams of an effort 'to free
CrJba by inducing Spain to abandon the
island. That means that (Spain would con
sent if our government would take $400,-
000.000 of debt off her shoulders. The in
dorsement of the United States would
make the bonds wofth their face value 'and
make t'he patriotic syndicate worth $300,-
000,000 more than at present.
A bill has Jbeen introduced in congress
“that the sum of fifteen thousand dollars
'be and hereby is appropriated for the pur
chase oi two .hundred and fifty acres o<f
land upon which 'are situated the fortifica
tions, redoubts, breastworks and battle
grounds known in French and Indian and
Revolutionary wars as Fort Ticonderoga;
that the secretary cf war be, and herclby
is empowered to take' possession of the
sama and to preserve from further vandal
ism and the ravages of time, out of the
money above appropriated, the fortifica
'tions. redoubts and 'breastworks of the
above named fort.”

Peculiar CJhifsese Customs.
The customs of tho Chinese in the
matter of death’and burial are certainly
peculiar. Infants are buried summarily
without coffins, and the young are in
terred with few rites, but the funerals
of the aged of both sexes are elaborate
in proportion to the number of the de
scend mis and to their wealth. When a
childless married man dies, his widow
may perform all the duties of a son to
ward him, may remain in his house and
may adopt children to rear as his heirs
and as worshipers cf the family manes.
If his widow purposes marrying again,
a young male relative may, with the
consent of senior members of the clan,
undertake the services expected from a
son and may inherit the estate of the
deceased. one is about to die, be
is removed from his couch to. a bench,
or to a mat cn the floor, because of a
belief that Ke who dies in bod will carry
the bedstead as a burden into the other
world. He is washed in a new vessel,
iu warm water, in which a bundle of
incense sticks is merged. After the wash
ing the vessel and the water are thrown
away together. Hs is then arrayed in a
full suit of new clothing, that ho may
appear at his best. He breathes his last
iu tho main room before tho largest
door m the house, that the departing
soul may easily find its way out into
the air. A sheet of spirit money (browm
paper having a patch of gilding on one
surface) is laid over the upturned face,
because it is said that if the eyes are
left uncovered the corpse may count the
row of tiles in the roof, and that iu
such case the family’ could never build
a more spacious domicile.—New York

Buying ••Giuns” In America.
Englishmen and Americans frequent
ly differ greatly in the names they have
for the same object. A well known art
ist cams to an American city from Lon
don, and after becoming settled went
out to buy some artists’ materials. He
went to a stationery store, and after
purchasing several things said:
“By the way. do you keep gums?’’
The saleswoman smiled.
“No, indeed,” said she, “tut I think
you can get them next door. ”
The artist thought it was peculiar
that he could not get what ho wanted
at a stationer’s, but thought perhaps it
was American, bo he went next door
and found it was a shoe store.
“A funny place to k* ep gums, ” quoth
lie, but in ha walked and asked for
gums.
“What size do you wear?” said the
woman who met him.
That floored him.
“What on earth has that got to do
with it?” thought he, but ho discovered
that he wore sevens.
Soon the woman appeared, carrying a
pair of overshoes.
“Will these suit yon?” said she to
tho surprised Englishman.
“I don’t want those. I want gums,
something to stick with. It comes in a
bottle.”
“Gh, you mean mucilage,” said the
girl radiantly. “You can get that at
any stationer’s.”—St. Louis Star.
