NOT WORTH HELPING.
The Gainesyille Eagle says: “The
Eagle has nothing to do with anybody’s
test of Democracy. We are a Democrat
and are trying to help the party out of
the mire.”
The Democratic party is not in the
mire! A few light headed simpletons,
reaching after the little fishes have tum
bled in the Cleveland quagmire, and
floundering in the shadow of that colos
sal fisherman vainly imagine that they
are the party. We would reach out a
helping hand to these little fellows, but
really they are not worth saving.—At-
lanta Commercial.
It takes a great deal of gall for
even a little platitudinous crank like
Editor Blackburn to talk about
“reaching after little fishes.” We
I have never sought favors nor wanted
them for our advocacy of Cleve
land and the gold standard.
What about Editor Blackburn ?
lie is now playing the role of snap
, ping-turtle because Cleveland re
> fused to give him the consulship to
[ Berlin at §40,000 a year and offered
| him a post at Cienfuegos, a yaller
| fever port, at §2,500, with matches
and lamp oil furnished. That is the
real animus of his coarse and unc.ai
ing vituperation against Cleveland
and Hoke Smith. It is the gnat on
. the bull’s horn, of course, but you
can’t help noticing it any more than
you can help noticing a rat-terrier
when he scratches the dirt with his
hind feet.
But Brother Blackburn talking
about reaching after little fishes—it
is an immense spectacle. You all
remember about his going on to
’ Washington soon after Cleveland’s
inauguration in 1893. He was the
biggest man in the country (in bis
mind). He had, by some sarcasm of
I politics, been a national elector on
, the Cleveland ticket. The sun of
his prosperity was in meridian splen
dor. He was blessed of the gods.
The autocrat of the White House
received him with open arms, and
killed a shote right away, and Fran
ces had chicken and dumplings for
breakfast. After breakfast Black
burn took a stroll down town to
dazzle the boys, and his shadow
• reached clear across Lafayette Park.
After reaching Newspaper Row and
cooling off, a great shadow came
across his dreams—he couldn’t Je
whatjjofficg he would
ite
wildered him. When he went to
dinner that day Grover said to him,
| “Well, Bennie, my boy, have you
r decided on your office yet?” And
Bennie said no, he hadn’t; there
were so blamed many of them he
was afraid to pick out one for fear
he would see another pretty soon
that he liked better. Then Grover
told him to make himself perfectly
at home and if he wanted anything
to sing out.
Brother Blackburn’s troubles
lasted for nearly a month, but it was
. only trouble with the Blue Book, for
his relations with the White House
continued first-class. Grover would
bring a pitcher of fresh water
to his room every morning and get
him a towel that hadn’t been used
and hunt him up a comb. Then
Bennie would go and hold the calf
away while Grover milked, and
then grind the coffee for Frances
and tote her in a turn of stove wood.
Meanwhile the papers from one
end of the country to the other were
printing whole pages of envy at
Brother Blackburn’s happy lot, and
many were the guesses as to what he
would finally decide on. In the big
cities they had bulletin boards with
dispatches every ten minutes giving
his pulse, temperature, and mental
■ symptoms.
How the thing came to a frazzle
is a pathetic tale, but come to a fraz
zle it did. One day by self-coercion
he got himself to decide on the con-
Isulship to Berlin. He bribed his
mental processes by holding out the
tempting salary of 40,000 round dol
lars. But alas ! the place was gone.
John Temple Graves had been
there and they had to lock the office
k up to keep him from getting it by
' sheer force of oratorical gifts. Then
■ Brother Bennie made a break for
the British mission, but it was gone ;
then to the mission to Russia, but it
was gone, too—and the other first
class missions likewise. It was as
tonishing to see how the Blue Book
had been depopulated while Bennie
was dickering with his mind. All
gone—everything but the yaller-fever
post. The mistake Grover made
was in not stopping the appointment
mill until Bennie could get his mind
to come around.
And now for Brother Blackburn
to talk about our reaching for the
little Clevelandic fishes! Smokv
Mosts ! did you ever hear the like !
In New Jersey last week a man of
fifty-five years old kissed a prettv
young woman without her consent,
and she had h : m indicted for it.
And not only was he indicted, but
compelled to pay a fine of. §27 50
for the smack.

NUMBER 43.
MR. WATSON’S FUTURE.
s Mr. Watson of Georgia said to a
’ correspondent of the Louisville Cou
i rier-Journal at Jonesboro the other
, day: “I am out of politics.” It
> seems that the Populists of Kentucky
I desired Mr. Watson to go to that
■ State and make speeches, following
l Mr. Bryan, who is billed for a Ken
: tucky tour shortly. When the prop
osition was broached to Mr. Watson
. he declared, in line with the declara
, tion of the people at the polls last
t November, “I am out of politics.”
; And not only did he assert that he
I was out, but that he intended to stay
out. “I am going to attend to my
law practice,” said he, “and will
> neither be a candidate for office my
. self nor take part in the campaigns
of other candidates. It is all right
, for Mr. Bryan to make speeches in
I Kentucky or elsewhere, for Mr.
, Bryan is in the speech-making bus
j iness. As I understand it, that is
, his profession. But my purpose iu
. life is a far different one, and here
, after the politicians of all parties will
! be perfectly safe in counting me out
of their political deals.”
A SIGN OF PROGRESS.
President Samuel Spencer, of the
1 Southern railway,makes the following
statement in his recent annual report
; showing the marked development
which has taken place along the lines
of the Sothern railway, alone during
1 the past year:
During the year 151 new manufac-
> turing establishments of various kinds
i were located at points upon the
; company’s road. There have been
completed during the year on the
, lines of the company cotton factories
alone working 163,000 spindles and
3,000 looms, the total cost of which
, has been nearly §2,000,000, and at
, the close of the year there are under
construction additional mills which
will include 62,500 spindles, and
construction by the company of 92,-
• 861 feet, or 1,759 miles of new side
. track to industrial establishment
( during the year indicates this general
growth and the appreciation of the
company,s policy in fostering such
• enterprises.
1 This is another gratifying contribu
! tion to the evidence of the South’s
progress in spite of adverse conditions
\ during
jhb
j Governor Atkinson has given out
} advance sheets of that portion of his
i message dealing with the convict
| question. The matter is of sufficient
> importance to lend peculiar interest
> to the plan which the governor will
. recommend, and he treats the subject
i in straightforward manner.
- He begins by stating that he will
r veto any measure looking to the con
r tinuance of the present lease system,
and then states while these criminal
} wards of the state are entitled to
j humane treatment and the best sani
. tary quarters, they are condemned to
, punishment and are not to be regard
[ ed as pampered pets.
The governor advocates a state pen
. itentiary and a prison commission.
I He opposes the plan of placing felons
i on the public roads and thinks this
f work should be done with the mis-
I demeanor convicts by the respective
- counties.
WANTS GENERAL EVANS.
The Augusta Chroncle of last Sun
' day comes out squarely for Gen.
I Clement A. Evans for Governor.
The Chronicle shows rare good sense
in thus stepping up on The Argus’
’ platform. Gen. Clement A. Evans
will be the next Govenor of Georgia.
’ The race will narrw down to Evans
and Terrell, and General Evans will
wipe the whole face of the earth up
5 with TerreU. Mark that. And it
will be good that it is so. The nom-
1 ination of this able and honest states
man, Christian gentleman and gallant
old veteran mean a reunited party
and glorious democratic victory.
—Dalton Argus.
1 SQUEAKY TOM IN TROUBLE.
3 Tom Blodget, the Republican
i agitator, well known hereabouts, has
1 got into trouble. The Federal grand
r jury at Atlanta last week found a
5 true bill against him for swindling
t office seekers out of cash upon the
- representation that he w’as internal
■ revenue collector. He got as high
i as §7OO out of one person.
Tom’s brother, to whom he had not
1 spoken in several years, went on his
r bond, when other resources failed.
t NO IFS ABOUT IT.
I If Hon. Allen Candler is a candidate
for governor we are for him against the
field as it now stands or is likely to stand.
. And if Candler becomes a candidate, as
sure as time lasts until the election la
? will be the governor.—Clarksville Adver
tiser.
» And as sure as the sun shines your
uncle Allen will be a candidate for
1 governor—so there!
