FOR THE STRANGER.
To those familiar with locnl condi
tions, no explanation of the deplorable
condition of the streets of Sandersville
is necessary, but for the information
of those citizens of the county who do
not know the causes of the present
conditions it may be well to Bay that
very recently the streets were opened
for the installation of a complete sew
erage system and the citizens are now
engaged in making sewerage connec
tions to their homes, cutting ditches to
the main sewers across the streets and
for some time yet the streets cannot
be put in llrst class condition for those
reasons.
Much patchwork could be done, to be
sure, and this work is now in progress.
The heavy fall and spring travel has
much to do with the bad conditions,
the city trade having been unusually
heavy the past few months.
Any city making such rapid progress
as Sandersville and adding improve
ments constantly must suffer from
th<*se annoyances and inconveniences,
but we hope that the time is drawing
near when sufficient labor enn be se
cured to improve the worat places and
much is now being done to relieve this
condition.
THE FARMERS UNION.
TARIFF REFORM.
Tariff reform by commission is im
practicable. While a tariff commission
could collect testimony, sufficient tes
timony can be collected by the regular
committees of congress to answer all
necessnry purposes. In fact, it is not
necessary to spend a great deal of time
taking testimony, for it is a notorious
fact that the present rate of tariff
duties is indefensible. The mnin ob
ject of the taking of testimony in tariff
controversies is not to inform the pub
lic, but to prolong the discussion and
prevent action. Every day mean dol
lars to the beneficiaries of the tariff—
so many dollars that they can afford to
fight for time, even-wl/en sure of ulti
mate defeat. It is not necessary to
have a commission of experts working
for several years, for anyone acquaint
ed with the subject can forecast the
result. If such a commission is made
up entirely of protectionists the final
report will be unanimous and will be
opposed to any material reduction ex
cept where the manufacturers them
selves have found the tnriff a hindrance
instead of a help. If the commission
is made up of both reformers and pro
tectionists, there will bo two reports
and whether the commission submits
one report or two, the members of con
gress will deal with the subject just ns
if there had been no commission. Those
who are opposed to the taxation of the
many for the benefit of the few, under
the guise of protection, will be just as
much in favor of tariff reform after the
experts report as before, and tariff
beneficiaries just as cfamorous for a
high tariff if the commission reports in
favor of its reform.
The commission plan, however hon
estly presented by Senator Beveridge
is a delusion and a snare. If a com
mission is appointed and the next pres
identinl election results in a victory
for ttiose who believe in high tariff, the
report will not be likely to receiv
serious consideration ; if the commis
sion is appointed and the presidential
election results in the election of
majority in favor of tariff reform, tariff
reform will come regardless of the
report of the commission. No repub
Jican president or. republican senate or
republican house can tie the hands of
a democratic successor, just as no
democratic president, senate or house
can tie the hands of a republican suc
cessor. We may as well, therefore,
discard the commission suggestion and
proceed to revise the tariff through the
officials authorized to make the revis
ion. That power cannot be delegated,
or. if it could be, it would not be.
One question remains: When should
the tariff be reformed? Senator Bev
eridge says “after the election.” There
have been several elections; why have
we not had tariff revision? We needed
tariff reform three years ago, but when
the president came in with a large pop
ular mujority to his credit, the friends
of protection said that the people had
ratified the course of the party and
that it would be Hying in the face of
the verdict to modify the tariff. Now
we are told that it would be unwise to
disturb business just before the elec
tion. Some people regard the election
asadisturbar.ee, and, therefore, pro
test against any prolonging of the dis
turbance by an after - the-election
change in the tariff system.—The Com
moner.
The Farmers’ National Union has de
clared with practical unanimity foa a
pnreel post, and is moving with custo
mary promptness and vigor to secure
favorable action from the present Con
gress for a bill introduced to establish
this notable enlargement of the postal
service.
The announcement of this new and
powerful advocate of tho parcejs post
isjboth interesting and important.
The Farmer’s National Union is one
of the greatest and most pohentinl or
ganizations of any kind in the Republic
Its membership includes nearly 1,800,-
000 actual farmers, residing most large
ly in the west and south.
The Union prides itself up«n two
distinguishing facts:
First, that its membership is confined
rigidly and altogether to the men act
ually engaged in farming as their chief
vocation, and
Second, in the resolute refusal of the
organization to be used by the politi
oians or to engage in political affairs
for any other reason than to bring
about the establishment of measures
in legislation in which farmers as a
class and as individuals are really in
terested.
One of these measures is the pnrcels
post, and as soon as the National Leg
islative Committee and the National
Union indorsed the measure the state
and district unions have gone vigor
ously to work by resolutions to con
gress and the president,and by personal
committees waiting upon the senators
and representatives who stand for the
several states and districts. They nre
losing no time and spnring no energy
to bring to pass the legislation they
desire.
With nearly 1,800,000 American citi
zens and voters in one ,compactly or
ganized and remarkably harmonious
body working together to one end be
fore the present congress, it would
em to be almost a foregone conclu
sion that the parcels post should be
come a law before the adjournment of
the present national assembly.
The National Rural Mail Carriers
have also by formal resolution commit
ted themselves to an active endorse
ment of the measure, the third assist
ant postmaster general is its vigorous
advocato, and the president has never
given nny evidence of opposition to
its passage.
Mr. William R. llearst, during his
recent term in congress, introduced a
definite bill for the parcels post, and
the American lias been at all times a
sincere and active friend of this great
public advantage and convenience to
the people.
President Barrett and the national
committeemen haye so far conducted
the Farmers’ Union with signal discre
tion and energy, and the American
feels disposed to congratulate them
upon the success of many of their
sound popular movements, to which it
feels confident the establishment of a
parcels post will soon be added.
A great non-political organization of
actual farmers, thoroughly sincere,
thoroughly united and absolutely un
touched by political demagogues, must
of necessity create a large and benefi
cent force in the public affairs of the
republic.—N. Y. American.

H AS it ever occurred to you who are superstitious about the
number “18,” that Almost daily you may ho carrying
around with you a piece of money that is just full of
thirteens? Just take a look at a quarter of a dollar, and
you will note thirteen letters in the words “quarter dollar,”
thirteen arrow heads, thirteen feathers in tho eagle’s wing,
thirteen parallel bars on the ehield, thirteen letters in the
scroll in the eagle’s beak, thirteen stars, thirteen horizontal
stripes and thirteen leaves in the oliyo branch. If this in
formation happens to be new to you, and you are supersti
tious about keeping quarters, wo would add that you may
send from one to a dozen of them to Hitt’s Market, San
dersville, Ga., and he will take them in exchange for the
best meat to be found in this city, and you will then he
relieved of coinB of that denomination.

To prevent loss and to have full
