the gubernatorial race.
What the country would do if
Allen D. Candler should die in
the year of our Lord, 1898, is fear
ful to contemplate. There would
be an interregnum in the governor
ship of Georgia.
The whole people that have any
right to a choice for that high of
fice have turned their eyes to the
“ Plowboy of Pigeon Roost ” as
the only man that possesses any
virtue as a Democrat, any honesty
as a man, and, of course, all would
go to pieces unless he should heed
the lachrymose cries of the Demo
cratic saints to accept the office of
Atkinson, Berner, Candler—
the A B C of the campaign, so to
speak.—Savannah News.
It is eminently fitting that Mr.
H. B. Hyde, of New York, should
be a member of the Jeykl club, of
Georgia.
There is a covert suggestion
in Mr. Berner’s platform that he
would be more eligible for railroad
commissioner than governor.
The Cartersville News is lucky
in securing Sam Hudgins to take
charge of its typographical depart
ment. There is no better in Geor
gia than Sam.
governor.
“ There never
was such an up
rising of the common people.”
For what? To put down the ne
farious crowd who has had control
of the party since 1894.
The Hon. Allen’s office is next
door to the governor’s office in
the capitol building, and we be
lieve that the Secretary of State
(which office he now holds, but
has resigned to take effect a long
way in the future) is regarded as
second only to that of governor.
He obtained it at the hands of the
same convention that nominated
W. Y. Atkinson in 1894.
He knows that he was the ben
eficiary of the convention of 1894
that consisted of delegates chosen
by ravishing the Democratic party,
and has enjoyed the emoluments
of office since then without utter
ing one word until he seeks to
advance himself, and by his con
duct and writing thinks his chances
slim unless he can stir up a wave
of prejudice and float in on that.
He says in his celebrated letter
that in 1894 he stood by Gen.
Evans. We suspect if Gen. Ev
ans had any notice of it, he got it
from Col. Allen on the sly, because
that patriot was doubtless “toting
his own skillet ” at the time. We
venture his voice was raised from
no stump in Evans’ favor, nor was
the Colonel then afflicted with let
ter-writing for Evans, as he now
seems to be for himself.
Like the Pharisee of old, he
proclaims himself better than othei
Democrats, and takes occasion to
say that the common people think
so by their “uprising” for him.
So far as we could observe, the
people were persuing their avoca
tions quietly, and no thought ob
tained that the State was lost, and
no commotion was astir in politics
until Col. Allen cast out a torpedo.
It did not get farther than the
hull of his own political boat with
out producing a wreck as disas
trous to himself as befell the war
ship in the Havana harbor last'
week.
The cry for low taxes is popular.
We are opposed to paying taxes
at all, and are anxious for a rem
edy against the evil.
What has increased the taxes
in Georgia? The increase of the
common school fund and the pen
sions to old Confederates and their
widows. Do Col. Candler and his
friends, who are as rabid as a
canine with hydrophobia, want to
write off these two items from the
list? We await an answer. If
not, then is it not true that these
two items alone brought forth the
increase.

the interest on the public school
debt, support the public schools,

The Atlanta Commercial inter
viewed Col. Candler last week,
and when asked if he would call
for a white Democratic primaiy,
he replied : “ Yes, most assuredly,
unequivocally and loudly. If I
am not the choice of the white
voters of the State I would not
accept the governorship. Rather
than do so I would go to Mexico
and shovel dirt on a railroad be
side a Mexican greaser. When I
say a white primary, I mean a
white primary.”
The Citizen has naught against
Col. Candler, for there is naught
against him personally, and but
for his careless letter there would
be nothing against him politically.
He cannot very well complain at
his letter being used aginst him,
for he did the same thing against
a Republican opponent over in the
Ninth district when running for
congress. Let the friends of
Judge Atkinson keep cool and use
no harsh words against Col. Cand
ler, for “ whom the gods would
destroy they first make mad.”

To all who are so fond of quot

mend the following :
Office of
The “Country Editor.”
-Walter Williams, editor.
Columbia, Mo.,Jan. 31,1898.*
Editor of Printer’s Ink:
Will you please state, in your
opinion, if there is any difference
in value as an advertising medium
between a newspaper with a paid-
in-advance subscription list and a
paper whose subscribers do not pay
in advance, other conditions being
equal. Very truly yours,
Walter Williams.
The newspaper whose subscrip
tions are all paid for in advance
is likely to have a select list cor
responding perhaps to a family
where the sons and daughters
have died off, but the grandfather
and a maiden aunt still survive.
The paper that allows latitude to
its subscribers in the matter of
payment may have among its read
ers those who are not of higher
grade but it will have more read
ers than the other paper. And,
as every reader will consume food
and wear clothes, they are all
worth something to the advertiser:
possibly as much as the superanu-
ated and more methodical people
who buy and read the other paper.

A Belfry in Bach Heart.
A writer in the Macon
graph says :
“ In an old scrap book I
across a poem written more
a quarter of a century ago, by a
Georgia boy, Phillip C. Pendle
ton, Jr., who has long since pass
ed to his reward. The subject, the
sentiment and simile are striking
ly beautiful, and so closely inter
woven with the thread of thought
and pathos, that the poem is a
gem. It did not appear in print
till long after the death of the
writer. A modest young man, he
had written a number of poems
and stored them away among let
ters and books. The title of the
poem is ‘ A Belfrv in Each Heart.’
See how beautifully he treats the
theme : ”
“There is a belfry in each heart
Where faint small bells are hung;
Through earth and life they chime
our part
By unseen potence rung.
Church-going-bells—oft they impart
A Sabbath to the air,
And round the alter of the heart
Call up the soul for prayer.
Minute alarming bells are they,
When terror strides the soul;
Ah, wildly do the pulses play
When faint alarms they toll!
There comes a Christmas to most
men—
A gala gladdening time;
Those inner bells peal merry then,
And echo peals on chime.
But when a heart is on its bier,
Where love hath said farewell;
An unseen sexton, lo, is there
Tofltnff its funeral knelj.” *
THREE iiREAT BIMETTALLISTS.
Goethe, Jefferson and Hamilton.
From “Gold Bondage and the Interna
tional Nobility,” by Ben E. Green.
“Die soune seibst sie ist ein lautres Gold:
Ja, wenn zu Sol sich Luna fein gesellt,
Zum Silber Gold, dann ist es heltre welt;
D^s uebfige ist alles zu erlangen;
Palaste, garten, Brustlein, rothe wangen.
—Goethe’s Faust. Part 2 Act 1.
Miss Swans wick’s translation is
as follows:
“The sun himself is purest gold:
Now, when with Sol fair Luna does unite, .
Silver with Gold, cheerful the world and
bright!
Then easy ’tisto gain whate’er one seeks
Parks, gardens, palaces and rosy cheeks.”
Goethe taught that, as God
made the sun and moon to divide
the day from the night, and to
give light upon the earth—man’s
habitation—so he made silver with
gold for man’s use as money; that
this union of silver with gold is
best for all; the .rich, the moder
ately well-to-do, and the laboring
poor. With silver as the compan
ion of gold, it is easy for the rich
to gain and keep palaces and
parks ; for the moderately well-to-
do to gain and keep cottages and
-gardens, and for the laboring poor
to gain and keep the health and
rosy cheeks, which attend on reg
ular employment, fair wages and
square meals.

He was the soul of his century. If
that was learned and had become by
population, compact organization,
and drill of parts, one great Explor
ing Expedition, accumulating a glut
of facts and fruits too fast for any
hitherto existing savans to classify,
this man’s mind had ample cham
bers for the distribution of all.
It is really of very little conse
quence what topic he writes upon.
He sees at every pore, and has a
certain gravitation towards truth.
What he says of religion, of pas
sion, of marriage, of manners, of
property, of paper money, of peri
ods of belief, of omens, of luck, or
whatever else, refuses to be for
gotten.
The old Eternal Genius, who built
the world, has confided himself
more to this man than to any other.
He has no aims less large than the
conquest of universal nature, of uni
versal truth, to be his portion: a
man not to be bribed, nor deceived,
nor overawed.
He is the type of culture, the am
ateur of all arts and sciences and
events. There is nothing he had not
a right to know; there is no weapon
in the armory of universal genius he
did not take into his hand. He lays
a ray of light under every fact.
From him nothing is hid, nothing
withholden.”

See how Emerson thought to
emphasize the reach and. grandeur
of the profound wisdom of Plato!
It was by calling Plato “this eld
est Goethe !!”
Thomas Jefferson was born
1743, died 1826; Goethe born
1749, died 1881; Alexander Ham
ilton born 1757, died 1804.
These three were contempora
ries; Jefferson being six year old
er; Hamilton eight years younger
than Goethe; all three bimetallists.
Jefferson and Hamilton were
known to the world as bimettal-
lists as early as 1790. It is note
worthy that they favored the Asi
atic ratio of 15 to 1. It is not to
supposed that Goethe, seizing on
“universal truth with the “certain
ty” of “gravitation,” would be
forty years behind them in reach
ing the truth on this most impor
tant question of modern times:
If at first it so appears, the expla
nation is that he* was a closet stu
dent; they active men of affairs,
having earlier occasion to assert
what he approved forty years later.
Faust, begun in 1769 was not
completed until 1831. When th£
lines quoted were written cannot
now be ascertained. Certainly it
was long enough after the adop
tion of the gold-basis by England
for its tendency and effects to
make themselves manifest in “the
overwhelming and unmerited min
of the commerce, the manufac
tures and agriculture of the em
pire.” . . . ’.. .. .
I quote the language of the
London Quarterly Review for
September, 1832.
Doubtless it was this wreck and
ruin of British merchants, manu
facturers and farmers; this robbery
of every British taxpayer, to en
rich the Rothchilds and -other
holders of British bonds, that sug
gested to Goethe the idea of find
ing a place in the great work of
his long life to proclaim that the
use of “Silver with Gold” is indis
