Ed Johnson, traveling agent for the Atlanta Constitution, is known among rural editors as the “Constitution Kvnn- gelint." The elasticity of the English language is infinite. Tub Augusta Chronicle says: With out derogating anything from Mr. Har ris, it may be said that the fourth Geor gia district lias not worsted itself by nominating Hon. Thomas W. Grimes, of Columbus, for congress, Mr. Grimes is ono of the ablest young men in the state, and he has just enough of exjierience in public affairs and the energy of youth to make him n very effective congressman. If the district will keep him at Washing ton a few terms no douht the whole state will he proud of him. Tim letters of Hon. Samuel Pasco, pres ident of tlio state democratic executive comm it tee of Florida, favoring the rat ill- ration of tlie new constitution, are the ablest, papers that have emanated from any citizen of that state in many a day. It is to be imped that the democrats will take Mr. Pasco's advice and thus make their own child legitimate—for the con stitution is the creutureof the democracy. Mr. Pasco is a safe man to follow. lie is one of the few public men who lias reached middle life without making a mistake, or without being found on the wrong side of any question. Mr. Pasco Ih well versed in constitutions, state and national; and he will doubtless he in Washington soon voicing and voting for Florida upon the issues arising there in which the state is interested. people. Whenever the people of Georgia grow tired of a hum lie will have to step down and out. The Escji'iubhpScn lias opposed some of tlic men who arc politi cally strong in Georgia, hut the majority of the people were with them, and our opposition was silenced at tin* ballot box. We opposed them because we did not admire their public records, and not be cause we believed them powerful enough to corrupt the honest voters of Georgia, or to plunder the state at pleasure. We do not believe tiie nomination of General Gordon was bought with money. Such an accusation reflects upon the char acter of every honest voter in the state, and especially those who voted with the large majority. The charge is general, and no man escapes except the self- righteous accusers. General Gordon made his fight before the people—the white democratic voters of Georgia—and at the ballot-box they have declared in his fa vor. To say that the verdict was pur chased with money is u slander upon the honest voters of < ieorgla. XRF. THEY COMI'KI.LEU TO 00 IT t “Our farmers who are now compelled to plant ail cotton" is a part of a sentence in an editorial which we find in the Atlanta Constitution. Jly what manner of reasoning does the Constitution reach the conclusion that our farmers are com pelled to plant all cotton? While it is true that they do essentially plant all cotton, we know of no condition of tilings, now existing, which compels them to pursue such a course. The fact is, if thoy continue such a course much longer, they will finally get so poor that I they will be compelled to plant no cot-1 ton. Farmers should first provide them- ! selves witli a full supply of products j necessary to (lie maintenance of man j and beast. These products should j be grown upon the farms. When this is done the farmers are then in a condition j to plant cotton, and the crop produced 1 will, in reality, be a surplus crop to he controlled and applied by the producer at will. No long as there is an over- i production of cotton, just so long will the producer be at the mercy of the speculator and consumer. The farmer, by reducing tire area in cotton and in creasing tlie area in other crops that can be consumed on the fiirm can soon free himself from the tyranny of the mortgage system and tlie speculator. Then ho will be able in a large measure to control the price of his own cotton. IS I'SI'I KCHYSXIILE I'EOl’t.K. We notice that some of our exchanges are still' very sore over the success of Gen. John B. Gordon in the guberna torial campaign. They show but little 1 disposition to acquiesce gracefully in tlie will of the majority. They are rather i inclined to create dissatisfaction at the result, and continue to renew all the charges of corruption which were so vig- j orously made during the campaign. We ! have no fear that this class of papers can 1 make a breach in the democratic party, j Tlie majority of the democratic party has ! expressed itself in favor of General j Gordon’s nomination and con- \ tequently he becomes the candidate of the entire party. Tlie E.\i;itki:r-Si x advocated the cause of neither aspirant for the nomination, but it intends to heartily support the nominee. We be lieve none of this stuff about any man or set of men having entered into a con spiracy to rob and plunder the state. This cannot be done without the aid of the legislature, and we are not yet pre pared to believe that a majority of the state’s legislators are corrupt men to be used at pleasure by any combination that has been or may be formed. Neither do we believe that any one, two or three men control the state of Georgia. There are men of unquestion able political power, but this power could not be theirs unless given to them by the TIIK KMdIITS OF MIIOU AND POLITICS. It is now a matter of record that Grand Master I’. V. Powdcrly, of the Knights of labor, has refused a nomina tion for congress and a nomination for the office of governor of Pennsylvania, either of which would have been equiva lent to an election. It was suspected before that Mr. Powderly possessed the elements of great men and wisdom. The facts just stated prove it. He has shown that he is two patient and conscientious, and far-seeing, m be inveigled by poli ticians into sacrificing the future on the altar of the present. The bait held out was tempting. Few men could have withstood its glitter. Since Mr. Powderly has shown himself too strong even for men who come with a bribe, which is no less a bribe because it is indirect and honorable?, the Knights of Labor may take courage, and the Aincr'cun people may double their confi dence in flie integrity of Mr. Powderly and his motives. Mr. Powderly lias eschewed politics in connection with the organization of which he is chief, Tlie question now is, will tlie Knights of Labor,as an organi zation, follow his example? They have not shown the same positive aversion to political alliance,which their chief would seem by his conduct lo be possessed of. In fact, many branches of the organiza tion, realizing tlie power that lay in the mere fact of their union and dis cipline, have used that power in wanton- nesH rattier than defence. This disposi tion is not so base as it is human. But is such a course a wise one? Is it politic and expedient? Mr. Powderly thinks not, and beyond a doubt lie is right. Tlie aim of the organization of tlie Knights of Labor is to protect the work ingman and secure to him his vested rights in all his relations to the body politic. In no way can this object be so well carried out as by keeping aloof from politics. As no man can serve two masters, so no organization devoted to one purpose can subserve another. The union of church and state has ever resulted in evil to both. Social organizations which imbibe a political element rapidly become hybrid and lose their identity. Men with one aim generally achieve it, while tlie wind-turned and shifting time-server never sees his haven. There are mute but weighty lessons in these facts for the Knights of Labor. Whenever the Knights of Labor as an organization are committed as such to any party, they may write “Ieluibod” above their lintels. It will lie a woeful sacrifice of identity, principle and force. For after such a union the Knights of Labor, by a natural process of assimila tion, will cease to be an ally, and become a part of an amalgamated and indivisible whole. In their present uncommitted status the Knights of Labor have tlie sympathy of the best classes of the American peo ple. I n their present status, even when they assume an attitude of defensive de fiance against the unrighteous encroach ments of capital, the great reasoning pub lic remembers that it is war for the sake of women and children and homes. A# such they approve and applaud it, ifil s a negative war waged within legal limit.. But political parties and their assimi lated elements naturally command no sympathy. Politics, at its boat, is a cru sade for spoils. And when the Knights T>f Labor have raised the banner of any party above them tlieir power for good is gone. For a season they may divide the spoils with tlie victors, but by and by in the twilight and gloom of defeat,there will be never a hand to comfort nor a voice to cheer. To the Knights of Labor politics may seem to be a very tree of life; but too late they will find it a death- exhaling upas. A SlXdUI.AB (STATE OK AFFAIRS. There is a rather singular state of affairs in South Carolina, if some newspaper reports are cor rect. Tlie democratic state nom inating convention is to meet in Co lumbia on the-hh of August, but as yet' there are no awowed candidates for any of tlie state offices, not even for gover nor. What can be tlie matter in South Carolina? It cannot be that tlie politi cal millennium lias come in that state ? Tlie South Curolnians probably beca me so much interested in the campaign in Georgia that they forgot they were to have a convention soon themselves. Iniall seriousness, however, the state of affairs in South Carolina is much prefer able to the cor di'ion of tilings in Georgia ■lurlhg the cimipuign which lias just ended. It looks something like a return to the time when tlie office sought tlie mull. No doubt the ’people of South Carolina will find men ready to serve them, and under the circumstances they are more likely to select the best men for the offices. Tlie newspapers of South Carolina have been elamorjus for some body to " come out,” but if there are any aspirants they have shown better judg ment than the papers by remaining quiet. Unquestionably South Carolina shows symptoms of returning political pros perity. It is no wonder that tlie people of Chi cago refused to treat Hie anarchists seri ously until they had actually begun to do murder by wholesale. When a man tells the reporter of ft newspaper that he is going to sack and destroy buildings and to murder men the inference that is naturally drawn from Ids remarks is not t lmt lie roully means to do these things, but that lie likes to hear himself talk. The very atrocity of the threats, when combined with tlieir openness, disarmed tlie people of Chicago, it is not probable that there ever was before a conspiracy to murder in which the conspirators pro claimed tlieir purpose to everybody who would listen to them. It is not probable that there will lie such a conspiracy again after the wretches now on trial have re ceived their deserts. Tine state convention will assemble in Atlanta to-day. There is no opposition for any of tlie state offices, except for governor, and that will be. unable to make itself felt. The indications, how ever, are that some of the Bacon dele gates will refuse to make the nomination unanimous. Whether they do or not is merely a matter of taste and will not effect tlie final result. The Wrmur Jliirqiils. The wary Marquis of Salisbury, while at Osbqrne, kissed the hand of the queen and was appointed her prime minister.—[Cablegram.! Now, marquis, that isn't fair; that is getting away, not only with the old lady herself, but with tlie rest of the patriots who might wish to be called upon to form s ministry. In this country it is customary for those ask ing place to kiss the babies; lo grasp tlie voter by one hand and lay the other lovingly upon his shoulder; to tell tlie “dear fellows” how glad one Is to see him; to enquire how the -old woman is, and Miss Sallie, and little Tommie, and the old brindle cow, and Bruno, tlie faithftil cur. But this thing of kissing the queen’s hands, that is simply atrocious -that’s “takingnil under-hold.” Caligula, when he ought to have been surfeited witli cruel exercise of power, was understood to have said that he wished the Roman people had but a single neck, that lie might sever it at a blow. Now the kissing ol'the queen's hands, in a spirit very opposite to that of Caligula, was a kissing of tlie whole English people. The old lady was but a tlgure-hcad, and the marquis in that kiss really concentrated a smack upon the rosy English babies, the pretty girls and not the least to be mentioned, tlie voters who pass upon home rule and other questions. Fyc, fye, marquis; travel slower, and in the name of fair dealing don’t try to play such an omnibus game. Columbus. Ills FORMAL ACCEPTANCE. Him. Thomas W.
