(There' will be no tariff• reform^ as, long as the Republican party remains' ijt power. ■Evangelist Torrey and his great sieger, Alexander, have opened a cam' pdlgn In Atlanta. * H Is now evident that we will have to puli through another summer with mosquitoes In Albany. “Prophet" Dowle has about run his course. He Is financially a bankrupt, and his sins have found him out. All are now agreed that we have had enough rain in thlB neck of the woods to last for two or three weeks. Atlanta Is bidding for the next meet ing of the Grand Army of the Repub lic. Atlanta will take anything she can get. , Just now the people In this neck of the woods are being reminded of the old saying, "It never rains but It pours.", Many n woman has more sense than the man she Is yoked to for life has, and Is discreet enough not to let him know It. That hall storm of last Friday af ternoon put something like COO acres of cantaloupes and almost ns many of watermelons In the Albany district out of business. "THE RING." Wo have all been hearing a great deal about "Tho Ring" since the open- ■ng of the present gubernatorial cam paign In Georgia. One of the gubernatorial candidates and his Atlanta organ have been rav ing at "The Ring” since early last fall, and all sorts of high political crimes and misdemeanors have been charged against It by them. Where 1b "The Ring!’’ What Is It? And of whom Is It composed? These are questions that have been asked by those of an inquiring turn of mind ever Blnce the campaign opened, but the answers that have been given havb not always been definite or satlB' ractory. But anybody who has eyes to see end ears to hear ought to now be able to locate “The Ring” In Georgia. The action of the State Democratic Com mittee last week In fixing the rules and regulations for the Democratic primary and the howl that has been raised by the “anti-ring” candidate und his Atlanta organ over the rule that only Democrats and such others ns are willing to declare a desire and purpose to become Democrats and vole tbe Democratic ticket will be ah lowed to vote In the Democratic pri mary for the nomination of the Demo cratic candidates for the state ofilceB —this rule and this howl and tbe re spective sources of the rule and tbe howl seem to point pretty clearly to the Democratic party organization of the state as "The Ring.” We have had our own Ideas about “The Ring" all the time, but the de-' velopments of the past week'have so' cleared the political waters of the' state that anybody who Is lawfully en titled to exercise the right of franchise' In Georgia ought to now be able to see that "The Ring" Is composed of the same men and those of their de- : BcendantB who have not been led away from the true principles and unwaver ing, unyielding Ideals of their fathers, who rescued the state from the clutches of carpetbaggers, scalawagB. and negfoes In the memorable recon struction period that followed the Civil War. The American lieu is the greatest wenlth producer In the country. Her Industry more than quadruples the production of nil the gold mines In the United States annually. The Hofie Smlth-Atlanta' Journal campaign has degenerated Into a fight on the Democratic party of the state, and everybody respectable enough to have been elected to office In the state seems to come la for a share of their abuse. A Philadelphia preacher told n New Yprk audience the other day that In a century there will be 100,000,000 ne groes In this country. Referring to this assertion, the Washington Post says that lie must have been deter- mlnhd to make the future look as black as liosslble. \ The Atlanta Journal doesn’t “take notice” of the Macon Telegraph any more. Fact of the business is, tho Telegraph, in the discussion of the Is sues that have been sprung by the Journal and Its gubernatorial candi date in this campaign, has literally worn the Journal to a frazzle. STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC DOC TRINE. In the Balnbrldge Search Light of tho current week we find a timely and sensible article from that old Demo eratlc war-horse, Ben E. Russell, oft the howl that la being raised In cer tain quarters over the action of the State Democratic Committee confining the state Democratic primary to Dem. ocrats and such other voters as may declare their desire to become Demo crats. In tho following extract Mr. Russell states the caBe fairly and con vincingly from a Democratic view point: • “If tho Bix candidates In tho race for the governorship nre Democrats, and they, all clnlm to be, they can have nu possible objection or aversion to hav ing their elalnis passed upon by their party associates. They would all be ‘unmitigated humbugs It they did. They are not running for governor—the pri mary election will not elect cither one of them governor. They are candi dates for tho Democratic nomination tor governor. Henco they must ap peal to Democrats alone for votes— not Populists, Republicans or Indepen dents. It the Populists want a primary elec tion they can have It. So Can Repub licans, for any other party, but they would certainly not Invito or oxpcct Democrats, ns such, to vote therein. Such a course would be tho very'ex treme of folly. Methodists do not In vite Baptists or other religious de nominations to come Into their confer ences and participate In the direction of their sectarian affairs. They can manage their own matters of church polity In their own way, just ns the Baptists, Prebyterlans, Episcopalians all do—Just ns the Democratic party proposes to do, without Interference from any other political party on earth. 1 If tho Democratic party Is worth preserving at all. It Is worth it In all of Us honor. Integrity and traditions. We believe that a first-class man will be nominated" by the Democratic pri mary on tilft 22nd day of August, next, and he will be elected by the usual popular majority. The doors of the primary are left open | to every white voter In the state who Is, or who desires to become, an organized Democrat. Nothing Is or can be fairer than this. What would become of the Baptist church If the doctrine of Immersion was to be upheld,‘or decided, by Mcth- odlBts who believe In sprinkling? What kind of a party would the Dem ocratic parly lie with Democracy stricken out? Every man tHio Is to vote In the primary, life-long Demo crat, or Populist, seeking to renew his allegiance, must vote the same pledge. There are six candidates who are seeking the nomination of the Demo cratic primary—five of them endorse the action of the state committee. They are willing to risk their chances In a Democratic primary. Let the dissatisfied one, and his dissatisfied associates, appeal to some other party —they have a right to do so. If How ell connived at the action of the com mittee, he did it as a Democrat, and I thank God there are such leaders left In the party, who had rather be defeated as Democrats than elected as Mongrels.” The present house of representa tives Is composed of 252 Republicans and 138 Democrats, giving a Republi can majority of 114. In order to cap ture the next house, which will he the Sixtieth congress, the Democrats will he compelled to lasso fifty-eight seats and not lose a single one they now hold. Such a performance would be little short of revolutionary, and yet it Is not without precedent in American politics. A former servant of Dowle Is quoted as saying: "I used to buy silk socks for him at $3 a pair, and he never got less than five dozen at a time. He would buy many suits of silk under wear at $15 a suit, and once he bought thirty-six pairs of silk suspenders, In- l(ild with blue butterfles. He never paid less than $150 for a suit of olothes, and all his furnishing goods were proportionately extravagant." As Viewed From Alabama. From the Montgomery Advertiser. It looks as if some sort of a game between Tom Watson and one faction of the Democratic party In Georgia has been broken up by the action of the State Democratic Committee in presenting rules for voting. For a Populist leader of an opposing party Watson has been taking great Interest In the contest between Hoke Smith and Clark Howell. It has been openly charged that he was seeking to have all the Populists vote for governor and thus decide as to who should be the nominee. The committee require ment is, that the man who votes In the primary shall be pledged to sup port utl Democratic nominees. The At lanta Journal Is fairly beside Itself with rage, because of this require ment. THIS DATE IN HI8TORY.
