TERRELL, of Mei riweihor. For Treasurer. W. M. SPEER, of For Corti mis loner of Agriculture, o. B. STEVENS, of Terrell. For School Commissioner, G. R. GLENN, of Bibb. Let’s -<e, who is Douglass Glessner sup porting for governor this week? 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 been in congress'twenty-four years. Yet he will not have left his imprint upon a sin gle’ act of legislation for the good of the people, notes the Birmingham Age-Herald. We remarked some days ago that those who considered David B. Hill a dead cock in l lie polltn ai pit tire badly mistaken.— Atlanta Journal. We were under the Im pression that the Journal first announced Dills political death several years ago— ■whin he was engaged in sowing tacks in Mr. Cleveland's path. 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. Mr. Bryan says the story that he ad d reused a state convention, in Illinois at •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. — Atlanta Journal. You may be sure he ■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. The Hon. Kid <MoCoy cannot justly claim the championship belt until he has com mUa>i'calcd with Judge Berry < of Atlanta. POWDER 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.” Free Pills. .Send your address to IL E.

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 Ledger.

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.
