SKETCHES OF CANDIDATES. B. M, Zattler, the People’s Party candidate for State School Commis sioner, is a descendant of the Salzbur gers of Ebenezer, Effingham county, and a native Georgian. He was educa ted at the county academy at Spring field and at the Lutheran college at Newberry, S. C. On the secession of Georgia in Janu ary, 1861, he left college returned home and joined the Oglethorpe Light In fantry of Savannah-Bartow’s Compa ny—and went to Virginia. The Com pany became Cdmpsny B df the fa mous Sth Ga. Regiment, and with it he participated in the first battle of Ma nassas, the Seven Days battles around Richmond, at Thoroughfare Gap and Second Manassas. At the last named ho was severely wounded and perma nently disabled, and for the remainder of the war served as Government Agent for the collection of the produce or tythe tax. At the close of the war he returned to his father's farm in Effingham and assisted in finding subsistence for t-e family and making a crop. In the fall he took charge of Guyton Academy and the following year was elected a Principal of one of the public schools of Savannah then being organ ized where he continued’till 1873, when he was elected Superintendent of the public school system of Bibb county. He organized tho schools of the county under the new system, which embraced also the city of Macon, and continued with them for twenty-two years. Being a man of practical sense he had more or less to do with every detail connec ted with the establishing of the schools and making the system the model of tho State. Especially did his practical ideas show themselves in the planning and equipping of school buildings and nowhere in tho United States can there be found more admirably arrang ed and better furnished school houses. When Gov. Northen went into office ho was endorsee’ by the leading teach ers of the State for the appointment of State School Commissioner and there was a general surprise among the teachers that he was not appointed. In 1894 he retired from active school work and removed to Atlanta. In religion he is a Baptist, having joined that denomination in 1863 and is at present a deacon in tho First Bap tist church of Atlanta. He is at present engaged in the school text book business and like the other candidates on the P. P. state ticket was placed there by the Party without seeking or solicitation on his part. Pingree Won’t Down. Pingree is a bully boy with a glass sys. He’s the nightmare of the Repub lican party. They don’t know what to do with him. He’s the bull in the China shop of corporation privileges. A combination forms to raise the price of asphalt for paving the streets of Detroit. He slips off to Trinidad or seme other place and brings back a company ready to furnish asphalt at one-third of the price asked by the trust. It grits its teeth and swears, but can do nothing. The legislature passes a law about the sale of mileage books at two cents a mile. The Michi gan Central refuses to obey it and says, “What are you going to do about it ? ” Pin gree as a private citizen offers them money for such a ticket and brings suit because they retuse, and, unlike most suitors, instead of getting on his knees, he brings them to theirs. And now, worst of all, he’s actually called the legislature together to reme dy the inequality of taxation, and he suys: “In violation of the spirit if not the letter of these provisions of the consti tution, laws have been passed from time to time by which railroad compa nies, express companies, telegraph and telephone companies, now owning ac cording to their e worn returns, at least one-third of the property of this state, arc required to pay only about one twenty-sixth of the taxes levied for state, county, and municipal purposes, leaving their just proportion of public expenses to fall upon ths farmers, la borers and manufacturers and other property owners of the state.” Now this is rank confiscation. It’s opposition to special privileges, and every one knows our civilization is built upon special -privileges. The Re publican machine has tried to down him, but he’s bigger than the machine. Ho don’t talk much, but ho acts. Iv’a well to keep your eye on Pingree. He’s a bad, bid man and the people love him.—Eltweed Pomeroy. The Omaha Exposition. In tho Government building there) will be in operation a miniature mint, I or coin press, striking off souvenir ra-d --als commemorative of the Trans-Mis- Exposition at Omaha. Com posite photography has been utilized in making the die for one side of the medal. A corps of competent judges was appointed in each of ths Trans- Miisissippi states, who selected from the number of beautiful women within their respective boundaries, two of the fairest. Photographs of these were sent to aa eastern photographer by whom a composite picture of the forty four beauties has been produced. Tho result aptly illustrates the best and strongest type of western young wo manhood. On the obverse side of the medal will appear an Indian in the act of spearing a buffalo. The two illus trations will be a sufficient indication of the strides that civilization and cult ure have made in the West during the last fifty years, The referendum has every principle of reform in it. It disposes of delegat ed power, and places the veto in the hands of tho people. It divposes of ju dicial tyranny and makes constitutions unnecessary.—Citizen and Country.

Below will be found a roll of well known, active Populists who have shown their interest in the present campaign by sending in largo lists of names during June: their hearts are in the reform work and that their neighbors as well as Populists every where may know what they are doing we take tho liberty without their knowledge of enrolling them on the People’s Party Paper honor roil: V.

Editor White was born in Harris county and early in life entered tho newspaper field. Since the spring of 1891, he had been active in the reform field and practi cally died in the harness fighting the battle of the people. His genial, lova ble nature won him scores of friends who always found him a “true blue.” His widow and 3 sous will continue the Record at Wrightsville. The reform movement in Georgia has lost a valua ble worker. In a Quandry. Two brothers from a North Missouri county appeared one morning at the portals of the St. Joseph insane asylum, one of them to be incarcerated there as a patient, tho other having him in charge as far as tne asylum. They were dressed very much alike, and the casual observer on the train would not have detected signs of insanity in cither. When the keeper appeared each insisted that he bad brought the other. ... he asylum manager was in a quandary. He chatted with his visitors until a late hour, and then locked them up in a room together. Then ho telegraphed tho authorities at the town where tho brothers lived : “Two men from your town arrived today both dressed alike; one calls himself Bill and talks about constructing an air line to the moon; tho other goes by the name of Dave and advocates the nomi nation of Bryan in 1990 Which shall I keep?”—Macon It • publican. Here is a Good One. The Independent, O'Neill, Nehr., had in double column headlines, over its war news in a recant issue, the follow ing words: “Now glory to the Lord of Hosts, on whom our nation leans, and glory to our bravo Jack Tars who took the. Philippines And glory to cur commodore who grandly woo the day, and set Old Glory’s stars and stripes above Manila bay. Go ring the bells and fire the guns from Maine to Golden Gate, for Dewey his the Philippines and Uncle Sam pays the freight.” Clow Denver Loses. Tho Denver Times says that Denver loses 330,900 a year by reason of the arc lights being less candle power than the contract. But that is one of the beau ties of private operation of the plant. Such cities and towns as o.vn their plants are not favored with such rob bery, and are therefore denied the op portunity of helping to make the rich still richer. Denver is doing well in thus proving the beauties of private operation of public utilities. Denver is progressive. Dees business on the lat est, ideas 1 Some old fogie cities own their plants aud it costs less than halt what Denver pays. These are times in which big prices are what the peo ple want to pay. A ruler is no less a ruler because he is elected The people should bo their own rulers instead of electing others to rale over them. THE POPULIST WORLD. Happenings of Interest in the Party All Over the Union. The Maine state convention met June 2 with 104 delegates of which only 4 favored “co-operation.” A strong platform was adopted declaring against fusion; favoring governpient money ; opposing bonds and banks of issue; favoring direct legislation r,a a cardi nal, tenet; favoring election of Presi dent, Vice President and Senators by the people ; government ownership of natural monopolies, etc. Prof. L, C. Bateman declined gubernatorial nomi nation which was accepted by Mayor Robert Gerry of Ellsworth. Delegates to the National Convention were se lected. Prof. Bateman’s position re garding Chairman Butler was in every sense endorsed. Florida Populists in state convention, May 31, at Ocala selected delegates t:. the National Convention July 4 and elected F. 11, Lytle of Stanton as state chairman, A. P. Baskin of Anthony as Secretary, and A. W. Weeks of Ocala, as Treasurer of the Bt’ite Executive Committee. News from Florida is en couraging. Arkansas did herself proud in the Populist Convention :> f June 2, when Buzz Saw Morgan was nominated so. governor. Sovereign, the labor leader was removed as national committee man because of his fusion stand anil the People’s Party of Arkansas has now cleared its skirts of the last taint. North Carolina Democrats slapped Butler last week so hard that the lick could be heard all over the country. By false representations, a majority of the recent Populist convention were induced to favor co-operation and a preposition was thereon submitted from the Populists to the Democrats. The Democrats declined' with thanks and instructed their state committee to en tertain no propositions in th© future And now the Caucasian (Butler’s pa per) is roassing the Democrats lor re fusing to “co-operate.” Butler’s star has set. In lowa, tho Populist State Conven tion on Juno 2, put out tne following ticket: Secretary of State, R. M. Dan iels, of Warren county. Auditor, C. A. Wickes, Decatur county. Treasurer, A M. Hutchinson, Pottawattamie coun ty. Supreme Judge, L. H. Weller, Chickasaw county. Attorney General, J A. Lowenberg, Wapello county. Clerk of Supreme Court, Alli Reed, Muscatine county. Railroad Commis sioner, Joseph Ash, Polk county. Chairman Wcsks, tho leader of tho bra/o 47 who walked out of the fusion convention of ISU7 and successfully kept up the middle road organization through its many trials presided. Then© was a largo attendance and much eutnusiasm. Three new mem bers anti'fusionists were elected on tbo national committee. A good sound platform was adopted denouncing fu sion, favoring government ownership, and direct legislation and opposing bonds. Chairman Weeks and Secreta ry E cker were re-elected. Many dis gusted fusionists were reported as coming back to the fold, Minnesota Populists of th© sth Con gressional District discarded fusion on Junel, bf refusing to hold over and meet with the Democrats and Free Silver Republicans. Hun. T. J. Caton was nominated for Congress. Bryan Democrats and the gold Democrats have buried the bloody hatchet and are now united. Georgia Populists would do well to renumber that despite all the free sil ver gas on the part of the Atlanta Con stitution and the office hunters, when tho state executive committee was re organized, a chairman was selected in lion. Fleming dußignon, a gold bug. T‘i:s shows how shallow was the Dem ocratic friendship for silver in 1896. ; Anything and for anybody just to hold the offices. Alabama Populists under Chairman! Crow© will wage a tierce battle this summer. Congressman Howard and ocher prominent Populists vrill stump tho state during July. Tliat it Would.

Read this article, and ‘ then say what you think about million aires. Ben Tillett is a famous labor leader in England, and his declaration is that “The whole of the burglars in [ the United Kingdom steal less than i one millionaire.” Do you believe it? The Ottawa Free Lance said in May 1395: “Canada has had a sickener of , boodle exposures within the last four t years, and still there’s more to follow. It would seem as if a lengthy lease of power makes mon too confident and t laxness follows. Certainly the tenden- > cy towards political immorality in Can -1 ada has been alarmiug. There must • be a thorough cleaning or the credit of the country abroad will be impaired.” The political party then in power has been punished by dismissal, bnt “a thorough cleaning” has not followed. 1 There ia greater corruption now than . then. The only remedy is Direct Leg -1 illation. Tho people must have power s to check corrupt legislation. Rev. C. A. Eaton, Toronto, said in The Globe, April 10: “More than half the people of Canada belong to some • Christian church. How does it happen i that corruption in politics has long been accepted by the cteetorate as the natural and normal thing? It surely is and there has not been that out spoken opposition to wrong by speech ■ and deed which the New Testament de mands of its followers.” That is true; and a confession of fault or failure is - the first step towards remedy or suc cess. Mr. Eaton rightly adds: “A re ligion which does not make a man a , different and batter citizen may be Christian in form but not in reality.” The nations are disappointed with the results of representation and an initiative and referendum law is be- I ’ coming a necessity everywhere.

Joseph Leiter is a noble , man ia aisguise. If farmers had kept . their wheat over winter, its price would not now be considerably more than a I dollar, and workingmen would not now ( be compelled to pay fifty per cent ! higher for their bread and flour. Farm ers ought really to rejoice that they , are not responsible for this outrage, i and doubtless they do. When toilers pay more for bread, they, of course, . can pay less for other produce of the ! farm, and buy less of it, but after all, 1 a clear conscience, is worth more than ( gold. Rejoice, ye farmers everywhere. New York has a crack regiment , called the “Seventh.” Its members , are from the upper ten crowd, and . when the recent call for troops was considered, 1063 out of 1067 of its mem j bars voted not to respond. Their reply I is that they “do not wish to mix in the . ranks with social inferiors,” but tha . colonel eays the regiment “will con . tinue to furnish officers and soldiers” I for the army. Officers spawned in such , au atmosphere can never be patriots, but the lesson was, doubtless, needed. The “social inferiors” of New York snobs will net be as ready hereafter to ! enlist as patriotic defenders of a conn . try which is really controlled by con . temptible cowards such as those in the Seventh Regiment ot New York.

The party slave io usually the most hopeless kind of a slave, because ho is one unwilling to ba free. Manhood is more tnan money, but this nation gives more protection to money than tc manhood. When the country needs his servico no lU4& has a right to plead that he is I too busy, to render the s rvlce, and the country now needs the service of every man who is opposed to inj.tstiae and corruption. A polit’cal party is not an idol to be worshiped, but a tool to do work with. When a tool will not do the work for which it wj,s designed the proper thing is to throw it away and gel an other.
