THE PEOPLE WON’T DRIVE.
---
The Macon Evening News says j
„ the people , not . listening , - , to
are rea- !
son this year, but are being con
trolled by prejudice.
If this was trup, it would present
a sad state of affairs in our poli¬
tics.
But it is not true.
The people know what they are
doing. They have been misled
by the false teaching of time-serv
ers and office-seekers long enough,
and now they propose to follow
the dictates of their own enlight
ened judgment, and have things
their own way for a while.
The Evening News is a gold
standard organ, and is so blinded
by the dazzling allurements of the
golden calf it cannot see the jus¬
tice of the people’s cause in their
strugge for reform in our pres¬
ent financial policy, and a return
to first principles, as founded upon
the good old democratic doctrine of
free coiuage of both gold and sil
ver and a double standard of pri¬
mary money.
Of course, the News believes the
jieople are wrong, just like thetradi
• v
.
tional jutor, who held out against
^ the opinions df the
other eleven,
and declared they were the contra
riest set of fellows he ever saw.
But the people are right, on the
financial question—especially so in
the south and west. The people
of these sections have suffered in
their finances by the oppression of
the money barons of Wall street
and the east until they are almost
ruined, and they are now deter¬
mined to stand it no longer with¬
out a struggle. With that won
derful unanimity which is born
only by self-interest in a common
cause, they are moving together
for the reforms they demand and
must have, and we believe they
are going to win this time, hands
down.
The fight now going on is an in¬
evitable conflict between right and
wrong, between the masses and
the classes, and the masses must
surely win. And the fight will go on
until silver is recognized as one of
the primary money metals of this
country, and its coinage at the
mints made free the same as gold.
The Maine statesman will hard¬
ly be able to “Reed” his title clear
to the presidency, this year.
Campaign literature is now flood¬
ing the mails from Washington
and New York. And it comes in
all sorts of shapes and sizes.
As Gen. Fitzhugh Lee is going
to Havana as consul general of the
United States, Gen. Weyler had
belter be careful how he treats
Americans in Cuba.
Bob Lee, (which is better known 1
as Carmel Junction,) has delivered
1 coo urns of guano ....... tanner
01 that section, the presetu season.
That is a large quantity to de
livered at one statior.

Spain Says She is Willing.
The dispatches from .Spain say
she is willing to accept the friend¬
ly offices of the United States in
behalf of peace in Cuba.
Of course she is willing.
She wants to get a chance tc
( < turn loose” Cuba, but she can’t
do it by herself.
The Cubans won’t ‘‘turnloose. > »
They have all to lose and noth
ing to gain by any offers of a set¬
tlement by Spain.
Nothing but the independence
of Cuba, and a full and complete
divorce from Spanish rule and an
thority, will satisfy the Cubai
And they ought not to accep
anything else.
They are almost certain of win
ning their freedom and independ
ence. They are gaining strength
every 3 day, 3 and would be very
foolish to accept any half loaf eon
dition3 f rom Spain,
We want to see the island free
from Spanish rule, and are sor¬
ry the president is not willing tc
help them to the extent of recog¬
nizing them as belligerents.
A Mother’s Struggle and Death
A few weeks ago there died in
one of Georgia’s most beautiful
towns, a sweet, patient, Christian
mother. Her life had been one of
pinching poverty and sorrow. For
in happy girlhood she had married
a man who turned out to be not
only a drunkard, but almost utter¬
ly worthless. She toiled on for
him and her precious childret
without a murmur or complaint,
no matter the treatment or the suf
fering. The cold winter found
her with a little babe, her health
broken, so that she could not ton
as she had done. She and her
children had no underclothing, and
in their thin rags they suffered, until
exposure brought her to death’s
door with pneumonia.
When the noble ladies of the
town learned of the case, they
quickly supplied their every want,
but too late for her, and with
bursting heart over her darlings,
she died, and is now in her Fath¬
er’s home on high.
The good people joined with
i their pastor in asking the Metiio
^ist Orphans’ Home, at Decatur,
G|l-> to receive
s " eet family. These,
four others even nj<>re destitute,
I have just been received,
the present family about 50,
fifteen for whom sweet
have been provided this year.
Tuesday, April 28, will be
brated in a joyous manner, at
Orphan’s Home, as its
fifth anniversary. All are
to picnic tliera and enjoy the
lightful program, including
address, by Rev. Sam P. Jones,
old agent.

‘‘Sam Snip” in Covington.
‘ Sara Snip," of Broughtonville, in
vv iting to the Madisonian about a vis¬
it to our city, among other thing? says:
■‘The people of Covington seem to
pull together in everything they un
dertake, are on a prosperous basis and
everything seems to be happy. The
VI G. & A. railroad added a spoke to
her wheel of prosperity, the people
know it and appreciate it, and without
Covington the road would never have
been built. Late in the afternoon I
began to hunt up mv old friend, Mr.
F. M. Poison, who is the superinten¬
dent of the pauper home. I s>on
found him at his post of duty, where
he is tenderly earing for sixteen poor
unfortunates who are inmates of the
home. Uncle Frank is one of the
most skillful farmers I ever knew.
No lady can give a flower garden bel¬
ter attention than he is giving this
pauper farm. I was told that the
property is worth twice as much now
as it was five years ago, when he took
charge of it. Newton county could
not have made a better selection in
getting a man for the place. One
night spent with his good family, I
returned more than pleased with my
visit.”
CATARRH.
Ilis Worst Enemy, Defeated
by I*. P. P., Lippman’s
Great Remedy.
For Three A’ears lie Suffered—Could
Hardly Breathe at night—One Nos¬
tril Closed for Ten years.
Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of DeLeon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its worst form.
Truly, his description of his atfferings seem
little short of marvelous. Instead of* seeking
• his couch, glad, for the nights’ conVng, he
went to it with terror, realizing that anotliei
long, weary, wakeful night and a struggle to
breathe was before him. He could not sleep
on either side for two years. P. P. P., Lipp
inau’s Great Remedy, cured him in quick time.
Df. LEON, TEXAS.
Messrs. Lippman Bros., Savannah, Ga.
Gents — I have used nearly four bottles of
P. P. P. I was afflicted from the crown ol
my head to the soles of my feet. Your P. P.
P. has cured my difficulty of breathing, smotli
eiing, palpitation of the heart, and has reliev
ed me of all pain. One nostril was closed foi
ten years, but now I can breathe through ii
readily,
I have not slept on either side for two years ;
in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now i
sleep soundly in any position all night.
I am 50 years old, but expect soon to be
able to take hold of the plow handles. 1 feei
glad that I was lucky enough to get P. P. P,
and I heartily recommend it to my friends and
the public generally.
Yours respectfully,
A M. Ramsey.
