The Gainesville Eujle. Entered at the Gainesville Postoffice as Second-claM mail matter. Official Organ of Hall County. -Official Organ of White County. Official Organ of the City of Gainesville. W. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, January 19, 1899. ■ ~ ■ f LET US NOT GO BACKWARD. We regret to know that a fight is being made to elect another man as successor to Dr. E. E. Dixon as County Commissioner. This office will be filled by the present grand jury and the fight will be made before that body. As we understand it, the fight against Dr. Dixon is being made on the grounds that he has, as some ones put it, “spent too much of the county’s money.” There is also a fight being made by certain persons because Dr. Dixon, in a systematic and.painstaking way, went to work and unearthed the Robinson short age and recovered for the county several thousand dollars which had been overlooked and allowed to lie hidden for several years for lack of energy and nerve to tackle the mat ter. Yes, Dr. Dixon and the other ex cellent Commissioners have spent some money. How? Look at th'' free bridges, of which every en lightened and well-meanir.g man in the county should be proud. As Judge Estes said in his charge to the Grand Jury, “the county is now in the best condition it has ever been.” This excellent condition is due more to Dr. Dixon than to any other man, for he is a cool-headed and careful business man, takes a personal pride in the work, and gives his whole time and attention to it. We do not write this in the in terest of Dr. Dixon, but in the inter est of Hall county, which has reaped inestimable permanent benefits from his labors. We should regret to know that Dr. Dixon, to whom the whole county is indebted for so many lasting im provements, should be turned down in the midst of his work. The present grand jury is com posed of capable, experienced, and conscientious men, who believe in going forward rather than backward, and we believe they will weigh and sift well the alleged reasons why Dr. Dixon should not continue in his work, and we believe that they will vote him to be his own successor. WILL BE RATIFIED. The Spanish-American treaty is being discussed with much vehem ence in the U. S. Senate. In this question party lines are not distinctly drawn. For instance, Senator Hoar, the ablest man on the Republican side, is one of the firmest opponents of the treaty, while Senator Morgan is active in its favor. Those who either fear that the treaty will not be ratified or who hope that it will fail may as well put aside ad doubts on the question. The treaty will be ratified, but not immediately. It may be one of the last things done before the adjourn ment of congress. There is no dis position on the part of the friends of the treaty to force it unwillingly and with undue haste over the heads of the opposition. The senators who have the treaty in charge feel per fectly assured that when the final vote is taken there will be votes to spare. The fact that the senate in the next congress will be more large ly in favor of the treaty takes much of the spirit out of the present fight against it. If the vote to be taken was purely on the question of expan sion, then there would be some doubt as to the result. LYNCH LAW PROBLEMS. Gov. Ellerbe, of South Carolina, has grouped together the more fea sible measures against the law-break ing practice of lynching. He dis cards altogether the provision per mitting the heirs of a victim of lynch law to sue the lynchers; for ex perience elsewhere shows that ev idence and honest juries, one or both, are invariably wanting, and cannot be had. He confines h’mself to prac- : ticable measures, as follows: 1. Let punishment follow closely the crime, thus linking in the pop ular mind effect to cause. 2. Seizure of a prisoner in the hands of an officer shall in all cases and under all circumstances work a forfeiture of the office of the respon sible officer. 3. The county in which a lynching occurs shall pay the heirs of the vic tim of the lynchers $5,000. All men convicted of lynching shall be deprived of the right to vote or hold office. TOO MUCH TALK. No man who has as much jaw as one W. J. Bryan, who lives in Lin coln, Neb., and once upon a time held a commission in the volunteer army, will never be President of the United States. He is too small for the place in every particular and talks incessantly upon almost every public question. History gives no account of any one rising to any thing like presidential prominence who makes as many speeches as Bryan and who is so anxious to give bis advice on a slight provocation.— < Carnesville Advance. i THE GOOD OLD NAMES. There may be more in a name than is commonly supposed. As a fair average of our great men, scan this list of presidents of the United States, together with the maiden names of their mothers: Washington—Mary Ball. John Adams—Susanna Boylston. Jefferson—Jane Randolph. Madison—Nellie Conway. Monroe—Eliza Jones. J. Q. Adams—Abigail Smith. Andrew J ackson Elisabeth Hutchinson. Van Buren—Mane Hoes. W. 11. Harrison—Elizabeth Bas sett. Tyler—Mary Armistead. Polk—Jane Knox- Taylor—Sarah Strother. Fillmore—Phoebe Millard. Pierce—Anna Kendrick. Buchanan—E.izabeth Speer. Lincoln—Nancy Hanks. Johnson—Mary McDonough. Grant—Hannah Simpson. Hayes—Sophia Birchard. Garfield—Eliza Ballou. Arthur—Malvina Stone. Cleveland—Ann Neal. Benjamin Harrison Elizabeth Irwin. McKinley—Nancy Campbell Alli son. This list of sweet, old fashioned names furnishes a dignified rebuke to modern frivolity in the matter of names. The names on the list are old fashioned ones. Among the names of the notable women whose sons have honored them by being elected to the highest office in the gift of the American people, there are no Mollies, Bessies, Nannies, Jen nies, Kitties, Birdies, Sallies, etc. There is something solid and sub stantial about the plain, old-fashioned names which have belonged to the mothers of our presidents. The name may not have anything to do with the character of its owner, yet here we find a complete absence of frivolous kittenish names, from Me Kinley back to Washington. Fond parents, in naming their daughters, would do well to remember this fact. In the last eight or ten years, it has become the fashion to give girls dainty, poetic names. Many young ladies with plain, old-time names have changed them, to be in style. This practice has become so gen eral that comparatively few of the old-fashioned names are given the lit tle girls of today. However, for the past year or so there has been some reform, and the movement would be helped along considerably if every mother would scan the list of names of the mothers of the presidents of the United States which we quote above. Mrs. Cleveland showed her rare good sense and good taste when she named her first two girls Ruth and Esther. The Eagle tried to pre vail on her and Grover to name the third one Mary, and they did con sider it for some time, but finally compromised by calling her Marion. DEWEY IS A REPUBLICAN. Is Rear Admiral George Dewey, the hero of Manila and of the Span ish war, a Republican in American politics? There has been a wide spread impression throughout the country that Dewey is of the Dem ocratic tendency. A report comes from Vermont that Dewey is a Re publican, although he has not voted since 1854. If such is the case it may have an important bearing on the next presidential campaign. There has been a great deal of talk of Dew ey as a probable candidate for Pres ident on the Democratic ticket. He has been nominated for that place by some leading Democrats, including Henry Watterson, of Ken tucky. The New York World says in a special dispatch from Monpelier, Vermont, that Dewey’s family and Dewey have been affiliated with the Republican party since its founda tion. The brothers and relatives of Dewey are quoted as authority for the statement. EDMUNDS ON THE PHILIPPINES. Ex-Senator Edmunds of Vermont has written a letter in which he takes strong ground against the colonial policy mapped out by the republican parly. He is one of the leading , members of that party as well as one of the leading men of the nation. He thinks we should deal with the Filipinos as we propose dealing with the Cubans, and that they should have their own government. He is not so much concerned about the Filipinos as he is about this country. He is satisfied that they can take care of themselves as well as the people of the South American states do. We should not undertake to interfere in the affairs of the Philip pines further than to assist the people there in establishing an intelligent and stable government. Mr. Edmunds points out that un der the constitution we cannot hold the Philippines as colonies. As sobn as we accept the treaty in which islands are ceded to us the inhabi tants of them become citizens of this country, having all the rights which our citizens now have. They must be dealt with just as the people of our territories are. Governors and judges must be provided for them, and they will be entitled to delegates in congress. And if tens of thous ands of them want to settle in this country there will be no possible way to prevent them. SENATOR BACON’S IDEAS. Senator A. O. Bacon has taken strong ground against the annexation of the Philippines. Among other things he says : “Aside from the general question of colonial expansion, it is not to our interest to own the Philippine islands. They are over a thousand in number. The population can only be estimate L This estimate by some is as low as 8,000,000, while by others it is as high as 12,000,000. The proportion of whites is too small to be stated in an ordinary fraction. They are an Asiatic people, and must ever so remain. It is impossible to supplant them with the white man. Many of them are primitive savages, who have never determined what kind of clothes they will wear, if at any time in the future they should conclude to wear any. “Do we wish this conglomerate Asiatic population as our fellow cit izens, entitled with us to equal par ticipation in the benefits and privi leges of our governmeni? Are we willing that they shall at Washing ton assist in making laws which shall be binding in Georgia? If not, do we propose that the inhabitants of those islands shall be the subjects of the United States government with no representation,, and bound to do its unquestioned bidding? It must be one or the other. The United States now have no subjects. All who owe them allegiance are citizens. Are we prepared to enter upon so great a revolution in the institutions and character of our government? Shall some be citizens and some be subjects?” WATCH THE DAMAGED CORN. We would caution the farmers against feeding damaged corn to their stock. While we have heard of no blind staggers in this imme diate section, it is quite prevalent in some sections of the State. Com missioner of Agriculture Stevens has looked into the matter pretty thor oughly and says the disease arises from feeding damaged or rotten corn, and states that unless the owners of stock give the matter their imme diate attention the loss in horses and mules to the people of Middle and North Georgia will be enormous. Nelson Dingley Dead. Hon. Nelson Dingley, of Maine, leader of the republican party on the floor of the house of representatives and representing the Second Con gressional district of Maine in that body, died last Friday of heart fail ure, resulting from an extreme weak ness due to double pneumonia. He was the father of the present tariff law which bears his name. He was chairman of the committee of Ways and Means, and was the Re publican leader at the House. Bill Goss Dead. Mr. William J. Goss of Harmony Grove died in New York city Tues day afternoon of last week. He died from injuries that he sustained while coming down the steps in one of the hotels in that metropolis sev eral days ago. Mr. Goss has many friends here, where he has often vis ited relatives, who are pained to know of his death. Union’s Court House Fight. The fight is still on over the re moval of the Union county court house from Blairsville to Fairview, three miles distant. Au election was held on Dec. 30th, and Fairview got a majority of 17 vohey, but not the necessary two-thirds required by law to remove the court house. The case is now in the supreme court and if Judge Kimsey’s decision in the lower court is reversed the end is a long way off, but if he is sustained Blairsville wins and will soon have a $12,000 court house. The fight is hotly contested by able lawyers on both sides. Death of Miss Price. Miss Alice Graeme Price, daughter of the late Willis F. Price of Macon, niece of Mrs. Candler, wife of Gov. Allen D. Candler, died last Friday afternoon at 4:15 o’clock at the Holmes sanitarium in Her death resulted from typhoid fever, with which she had been ill for six weeks. In Porto Rico the tax, under American rule, will be $1.70 per cap ita, while under the Spaniards it was $4.10. The people in that island should not have any fault to find with the change. Colonel Howard Thompson, of Gainesville, is in the city today cir culating among his friends. He has hundreds of friends throughout the state, and if rumors are correct he will be in the center of a real live political time in the near future.— Atlanta Journal, 13th. Mr. Henry N. O’neal, formerly of Columbus, more recently proprietor of the Arlington hotel in Gainesville, left Atlanta for Havana last night He will shortly enter business in Cu ba’s capital city and is sanguine as to the outlook.—Atlanta Journal, 13th. Repairing the Mill. Geo. K. Looper of Atlanta is attending court this week and Isoking after busi ness matters. Mr. Looper’s two sons, George and Frank, are out at the old Looper mill place at Brown’s bridge re pairing the property and rebuilding the dam, which was recently washed away. Mr. Looper will probably move to the property early next summer. GEMS IN VERSE. The Awakening. Before the nation’s gate stood Peace. The fire Os outraged Justice blazed through all the land. Silent the goddess! Solemnly her hand Was raised aloft to curb the quickening ire Os those her chosen people. Hope, desire— Aye, prayer itself -were still for peace. “Command,” Aloud they cried, “but while we waiting stand Look thou lest Honor in thine arms expire!” And he who ruled the nation's destiny Took not his gaze from off the face benign. Yet held in leash the gathering dogs of war. But, hark! Wave borne comes Mercy’s smoth ered cry, And, 10, where stood but now that form divine. Armored and grim, stalks Mars! The dream is o’er. —Paschal H. Coggins. The Old Huntsman. There’s a keen and grim old huntsman On a horse as white as snow. Sometimes he is very swift, And sometimes he is slow, But he never is at fault. For he always hunts at view, And he rides without a halt , After you. The huntsman's name is Death. His horse's name is Time. He is coming, he is coming As I sit and write this rhyme. t He is coming, he is coming L As you read the rhyme I write. You can hear his hoofs’ low drumming Day and night. You can hear the distant drumming . As the clock goes tick-a-tack, fcv And the chiming of the hours In the music of his pack. You may hardly note their growling , Underneath the noonday sun. But at night you hear them howling As they run. And they never cheek or falter, For they never miss their kill. Seasons change, and systems alter, But the hunt is running still. Hark! The evening chime is playing. , O'er the long gray town it peals. Don’t you hear the death hound baying At your heels? Where is there an earth or burrow, Where a cover left for you? A year, a week, perhaps tomorrow, Brings the huntsman’s death halloo. Day by day he gains upon us, And the most that we can claim Is that when the hounds are on us We die game. And somewhere dwells the Master, By whom it was decreed. He sent the savage huntsman. He bred the snow white steed. These hounds which run forever— He set them on your track. fie hears you scream, but never Calls them back. He does not heed our suing. We never see his face. He hunts to our undoing. We thank him for the chase. We thank him, and we flatter. We hope because we must. But have we cause? No matter! Let us trust! —A. Conan Doyle. * “To Be Free.” Afloat our flag is flying On the sea. « A haughty foe’s defying Liberty At the threshold of our land, Where a small but va’iant band Makes a bold, determined stand To be free. Heroic hearts are beating On the sea, Deflant lips repeating “Liberty!” Not for vengeance arm the strong, But to succor those whom wrong Has oppressed and scourged so long To be free. The tyrant’s bonds to sunder On the sea The cannon boom and thunder “Liberty I” And flaming Are shall glow, And the blood in streams shall flow- Men will suffer death and woe To be free. Freedom’s banner is unfurled On the sea • And proclaims to all the world Liberty I May our wills with thine accordl To thy glory be it, Lord, # J To unsheath the deadly sword To be free. —Alfred Lavington. Longing. Os all the myriad moods of mind That through the soul come thronging Which one was e’er so dear, so kind, So beautiful, as longing? The thing we long for, that we are For one transcendent moment Before the present, poor and bare, Can make its sneering comment. Still through our paltry stir aad strife Glows down the wished ideal, And longing molds in clay what life Carves in the marble real. To lot the new life hi, we know Desire must ope the portal. Perhaps the longing to be so Helps make the soul immortal. Longing is God’s fresh, heavenward will With our poor earthward striving. We quench it that we may be still Content with merely living, But weuld we learn that heart’s full scope Which we are hourly wronging Our lives must climb from hope to hope And realize our longing. Ah. let ns hope that to our praise Good God not only reckons The moments when we thread his ways, But when the spirit beckons; That some slight good is also wrought Beyond self satisfaction When we are simply good in thought, Howe’er we fail in action. —Lowell. Misfits. A big square peg cast longing eyes At a small round hole in an oaken beam And sighed and cried In great surprise Because forbidden by fate to rise And enter this goal of its wish supreme. A country lad of a lowly race Yearned for the whirl of a city life, Abandoned a modest but model place To find a gilded but grim disgrace Amid our metropolitan strife. ’Twas ever thus. Men never learn The homely adage old time has writ Qu pages of souls with pens that burn, la symbols of pain that writhe and turn— Success is to stay in the spot you fit. —H. J. Butler in Munsey’s. A Woman’s Hand. A woman's hand—so weak to see, A) strong in guiding power to be, So light, so delicately planned That you can hardly understand The strength in its fair symmetry! A hand to set a nation free Or curb a strong man’s tyranny By simple gesture of eommand— A woman’s hand! O man, upon life’s troubled sea, When tempest tossed by fate’s decree, Though fortune hold thee contraband, Hope on, for thou shalt win to land If somewhere is stretched out to thee ▲ woman’s hand! —Westminster Gazette. Elijah and the Ravens. M. C. Cannon, foimerly of this county, but now of Stevensonville, Montana, sent in a remittance a few days since of three dollars on subscription, which sets him up and one year ahead.

Not for the pride of arms nor in base greed Nor with the hope of an exalted name Do we unsheathe the sword with blade aflame For action. ’Tis the strongest, clearest creed For which Columbia's valiant sons will bleed — The love to brother man, of sacred fame. Christ taught it while he healed the sick and lame, And shall woe at our portal vainly plead? If blood be spilled that steadfast calm and strength May enter in where war and tumult rage, If a new dawn illume the Cuban sky With light of peace, from hearth and shrine at length A fervent land shall pray that God assuage Her grief at death for wronged humanity. —Abigail Taylor. . My Schoolroom. I have closed my books and hidden my slate And thrown my satchel across the gate. My school is out for a season of rest, And now for the schoolroom I love best! My schoolroom lies on the meadow wide. Where under the clover the sunbeams hide, Where the long vines cling to the mossy bars Ana the daisies twinkle like the fallen stars, Where clusters of buttercups gild the scene Like showers of gold dust thrown over the green, And the wind’s flying footsteps are traced as they pass By the dance of the sorrel and dip of the grass. My lessons are written in clouds and trees, And no one whispers except the breeze, Who sometimes blows from a secret place A stray sweet blossom against my face. My school bell rings in the rippling stream, Which hides itself, like a schoolboy’s dream, Under the shadow and out of sight, But laughing still for its own delight. My schoolmates there are the birds and bees And the saucy squirrel, more dull than these, For he only learns in all the weeks How many chestnuts will fill his checks. My teacher is patient, and never yet A lesson of hers did I once forget, For wonderful lore do her lips impart, And all her lessons are learned by heart Oh, come; oh, come, or we shall be late, And autumn will fasten the golden gate! —Katherine Lee Bates in American Agricul turist. The Bivouac of the Dead. Below the city,. Where the green, new soldiers come And shock the air with sound of frequent drum And pitch their tents upon the spring’s first sod, There rests another army—with its God. Beyond the hills, Along the slope that shades the river’s deep, At rest in leveled graves ten thousand sleep, And some are lm. ned, and some are marked unknow: i. Each has his nt oer and his year in stone. Within the tents The living soldier dreams of honor’s field, Os men who fight, who die, but never yield. He sees his face within a sculptured niche; He dreams of title fine; he dreams that he is rich. An age ago These rotting soldiers had their dreams like this. With eyes that gleamed and lips that loved to kiss They marched beneath the flag they would de fend, And now they lie unknown- a bitter end. We pass along The serried ranks of white and spring’s first green, With room enough for kneeling place between. The heart is full; the eyes are brimming wells; The hero’s pay—the homage fame compels. —Homer Bassford. One Religion. Yer kain’t hev one religion fer the feller thet is poor An another fer the feller thet hez got a goodly store. The Lord don’t think of money when he noti fies a soul Ter rise where everybody wears a golden aure ole. The rich man gets no credit fer his heavy bank account An kain’t impress the angels by a-namin his amount, But es, he lived a decent life an tried ter do what’s right He’ll hev a cozy corner in the realms of end less light. The poor man won’t be favored cuz he didn’t seem ter win The gold an silver treasures thet he longed ter gather in, But es he bore his poverty an tried ter serve the Lord He won’t hev any trouble in a-findin his re ward. —Rush City Post. The Stripes and Stars. From prairie, O plowman, speed boldly away 1 There’s seed to be sown in God’s furrows to day. Row landward, lone fisher! Stout woodman, come home! Let smith leave his anvil and weaver his loom And hamlet and city ring loud with the cry: “For God and our country we’ll fight till we die! Here’s welcome to wounding and combat and scars And the glory of death for the stripes and the stars!” Invincible banner, the flag of the free, Oh, where treads the foot that would falter for thee Or the hands to be folded till triumph is won And the eagle looks proud, as of old, to the sun? Give tears for the parting, a murmur of prayer, Then forward, the fame of our standard to share, With welcome to wounding and combat and scars And the glory of death for the stripes and the stars!

The maid who binds her warrior’s sash, With smile that well her pain dissembles, The while beneath her drooping lash One starry teardrop hangs and trembles, Though heaven alone records the tear And fame shall never know her story. Her heart has shed a drop as dear As e’er bedewed the field of glory. The wife who girds her husband’s sword Mid little ones who weep or wonder And bravely speaks the cheering word, What though her heart be rent asunder, Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear The bolts of death around him rattle, Hath shed as sacred blood as.e’er Was poured upon the field of battle. The mother who conceals her grief While to her breast her son she presses, Then breathes a few brave words and brief, Kissing the patriot brow she blesses. With no one but her secret God To know the pain that weighs upon her, Sheds holy blood as e’er the soil Received on freedom’s field of honor. —Thomas Buchanan Read.
