Dingley’s bill continues to maintain its reputation as the champion deficit-producer of the century. Dingley and his friends nettled at the discouraging facts and the consequent disparag ing comments, have had them selves interviewed frequently of late to convince the public that the revenues are growing under the new tariff law. These inter views only tell half the story; for while the revenues are increasing at a very moderate rate the ex penditures increase still more rap idly. The deficit of Jannary was 17,901,484, the largest January deficit in a generation, and the deficit for the first seven months of the fiscal year ending January 31 was $51,901,823, or in the neighborhood of eight millions greater than the shortage of the same period in 1896-7 when the Editor John W.

It is evident to every one but Dingley and a few of his friends who still persist that twice two are more than four, that the sale of the Union Pacific Railway was necessary to save the Treas ury from being as empty of avail able cash as a bank whose cashier has run away to Canada.—Phila delphia Times. The Advertiser has been too thoroughly pronounced in its fav or of Allen D. Candler for gover nor, and too open in its assertion of preference for him, to be in an easy position to advise Judge Spencer R. Atkinson, though a home man and its friend, with reference to his candidacy for the same office. In fact, we are not so sure that Judge Atkinson is in need of advice along this line. He is a man of ripe judgment and has not been without experience in politics, and doubtless appreciates A Kansas City man who was recently married has relatives in St. Louis named Damm. At the wedding among the congratulat ory missives read, was a tele gram from St. Louis saying: “ Accept congratulations from the whole Damm family.” The following sensible para graph is from Editor Wrench: “If the Georgia towns can afford to exempt factories from taxation, they might begin by reducing the special license tax that is levied on them. It would not require any legislation to do this much.” the fact that he today has a better position than that of governor, suited to his judicial mind, and favorable to his pecuniary suc cess. Locally speaking, the effort to precipitate him into the present campaign has been, doubtless, a pleasure to him in its evidence of confidence and loyalty from his own section, but it really did not assume serious proportions, either in the mind of Judge Atkinson or of public opinion.—Brunswick Advertiser. If Hon. Allen D. Candler is author of the card in yesterday’s Rome Tribune, over his name, he has either deliberately, or to put it more charitably unwittingly, struck a blow at a faction who has not yet offered any obstacle to his candidacy, but who might, and undoubtedly would, have contributed greatly to his eiection. Unless Colonel Candler had as surance, doubly sure, that this faction intended fighting him the card is untimely.

It is quite evident that the gold standard people are all very young men or if any of them are of mature years they are afflicted with short memories. The congressmen and gold monopolists who are howling now against our paying our obligations in fifty-three cent dollars seem to be unacquainted with the fact that during the war foreign investors bought our bonds at thirty-nine cents and even thirty- three cents on the dollar. Gov. Tanner, of Illinois, is authority for the statement that the Chicago Times-Herald is deep ly in debt and has been loosing $8,500 a month since its consoli dation. The Times-Herald is a gold standard paper and the per sonal organ of President McKinley. A month or so ago the Philadelphia Record failed and brought down a bank also a paper and pulp mill with it. Another gold standard organ. M Just as Good as Scott's and we sell St much cheaper,” is a statement sometimes made by the druggist when Scott's Emulsion is called lor. This shows that the druggists themselves regard Scott's Emulsion of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos- phites of Lime and Soda as the standard, and the purchaser who desires to procure the "standard” because he knows it has been of untold benefit, should not for one instant think of taking the risk of using some untried prepa ration. The substitution of something said to be "just as gooo” for a stand ard preparation twenty- five years on the market, should not be permitted by the intelligent purchaser.

The Telegraph does not know what Judge Spencer R. Atkinson’s intentions are in regard to the sug gestion of his name in connection with the governorship. Perhaps he does not know himself what he will do. Most likely he will take time to look the field over before he comes to a decision. This would be natural and prudent. It is not our function as an impartial newspaper to endeavor to promote or to pull down individuals who may enter the democratic primary, but it is our duty and will be our pleasure at all times to demand fair play. There are a few newspapers in Georgia that labor under the im pression that all that is necessary to blast the budding hopes of an aspirant is to connect him, by in sinuation only, with the despised “goldites,” or, as they are at other times called, “Clevelandites.” The most absurd break of that kind is the . effort to make it ap pear that these unwashed and un terrified democrats are promoting the Spencer R. Atkinson boom; that it is the tool of the gold bugs, and is to be put up to do their bid ding. To fortify the more effect ually against him and his alleged backers it is now urged that Col Candler “is one of the ‘old guard of the Georgia democracy and was one of the most conspicuous of those who took advance ground in the effort to send from Georgia to the national convention of the party at Chicago a delegation which would rise superior to the blandishments of party patronage and which would declare openly and unequivocally in favor of the free coinage of both gold and sil ver.” Very good. Then he was op posed to the Chicago platform of 1892, which was at that time the party creed and which declared for the gold standard, and he worked to bring about a change in creed. Again, we say, very good. That was his right. That same right some of us are exercising now, but there are those who would rule us out of the party on account of it. Not Candler, how ever. Let that pass for the present. But do the little ignoramuses who are trying to saddle Spencer Atkinson on the “goldbugs,” or rather who are trying to saddle the “goldbugs” on Spencer Atkin son, know the political history of Georgia in general, and of Atkin son in particular? In the year 1892 Judge Atkin son resigned his seat on the bench in the Brunswick circuit and con tested with Hon. H. G. Turner for the democratic nomination for con gress He planted himself on the demands made at that time by the Farmers’ Alliance. With the fewest minor differences those de mands were incorporated in the Chicago platform of 1896—free silver being then, as now, the dis tinct cardinal doctrine. The judge made the gamest fight ever waged in Georgia. He had every news paper in the district, with one pos sible exception, against him. He had to meet the charges of being in opposition to the national plat form. In addition to these handi caps, he had to meet the strongest man and best debater in Georgia. Although he stood calling them back and urging them to stand by him and make the fight inside the party, the Farmers’ Alliance re fused to enter the democratic pri maries and organized the populist party. Of course he went down in defeat. The Telegraph believed then and it believes now that Atkinson was wrong and that Turner was right. The Telegram stands now where it stood then. But in the whirligig of time and in the evolu tion of the guises of populism At kinson has lived to see the demo cratic organization come to him. In a sense he has been vindicated. The democracy of today, measured by the platform of 1896, is noth ing more or less than the populism of which Atkinson was accused in the memorable campaign of 1892 in the eleventh district. After the fight was over the At lanta Constitution decorated its editorial page with effusive com pliments to the democrats of that district in general, and to Mr. Turner in particular, for the vic tory won. It said that he was the true exponent of the democratic faith. But as we have shown things have changed since Betsy died. Turner is in voluntary retire ment because he could not shift with the fickle winds. He stands today a mute and powerful figure in Georgia—the embodyment of consistency and the soul of politi cal honor. His name will be hon ored and his example emulated by the honest student in the future of Georgia history. Neither has Atkinson changed. Things have come his way. The doctrines which we are told Allen Candler taught in 1896 Spencer Atkinson preached on every stump the eleventh district in 1892. He was just four years ahead of his party. He led the way. Others followed afar off. Some of the very fellows who are accusing him of consorting and conniving with gold bugs now called him a popu list then. Oh, Betsy, why did you flicker and die ! See the fickle natures of men pent up no longer playing smash with things ! Spencer Atkinson, the candidate of the gold bugs! Mossback old- timers from Pigeon Roost and Possum Trot, the first at the sepulcher of silver and the anoint ed of Ocalaism! Can these things be!

One of the most horrible crimes ever perpetrated in the state took place five miles north of Mulberry, in Franklin county last night. Sol F. Autrey, a farmer, accom panied by his family, went out yes terday morning to visit his aged father and mother living near Mulberry. Shortly after his arriv al Autrey become engaged in a re ligious argument with old folks. Suddenly he grasped an iron bar, killed his aged father, mother and his 10-year-old son and seriously wounded his wife and three re- MOTHER!

When the maniac started the deadly work, his wife and eldest daughter made their escape, notify ing a near neighbor, but when the neighbor arrived the man was standing in the door, swearing he would kill any one who dared to enter. Other neighbors came and found Autrey a raving manic, with his clothing on fire. He was over powered and the sight that met their eyes was appalling, three dead victims on the floor, beaten, burned and mangled almost be yond recognition. He has been chained all day, talking incoher ently, swearing that witches were the cause of the act and that the last lick was when he killed his boy and then says he awoke. Some doubt his insanitv.

The only function of muscles is to contract or shorten. This pow er is lost if they are not used.
