EDITORIAL PARAtiKAPHS.
Tbe Dawson Journal says it
“speaks by the card when it save
that Col. Guer[y will not be aeon
didate lor Congress.”
A committee of the Lower House
of Congress lias reported in favor
of an appropriation of $400,000
to aid the colored |ieop!c in their
effort to hold a World's Fair in
liic city of Atlanta next winter.
Rufus Bullock, who is the Con
stitution’s right bower, says if the
tariff hill shnl! be passed by Con

Mr. Breckinridge, of Kentucky,
made a powerful speech in the
House on the 29ib of February in
aupportuf the resolution of Mr.
Mills, providing for a disposition
of the surplus.
Tbe farmers of the South will
lie glad to know that the new tariff
bill places bagging and ties on the
free list. The present tax on
these goods is 40 per cent, on bag
ging and 35 on lies.
Mr. Sidney Lewis has been era
ployed as s|ieciui correspondent of
the Enquirer Sun at the federal
capitol. Our esteemed Columbus
contemporary continues to move
onward and upward.
The business of the Valdosta
Times lias readied the point
where it becomes necessary for the
proprietor to buy a “larger, faster
and better press wilii steam at
tachments.” We congratulate our
contemporary upon its prosperity.
The last time the Constitution
paraded its famous editorial suit,
it was worth $12 00. Previous to
that it was quoted at only $10 00
The Constitution should let its
readers know the cause of this
heavy advance.
Notwithstanding all the reports
to the contrary. DeLesseps ears
the Panama Canal will lie sufii
ciently finished in 1800 to admit

that be will sureeed.
R. B. Bullock is so popular with
a. certain gang in Atlanta now,
that we shouldn't he surprised to
see them siip|x>rt him for gover
nor, or for Congress. Rufie's po
litieal future is certainly bright
ening.
The Atlanta Constitution oh
jrcls to the new tariff bill because
it is a “protective bill. Our
contemporary is evidently disap
pointed because the wars and
means committee didn't report in
favor of free trade.
Tile railroad commission will
have a meeting on the 13th in
start for the purpose of “read
justing and equalizing passenger
fares on the roads doing business
in this Slate." The object is to
reduce the fare from three, to two
and a half cents a mile.
The city of Atlanta now
“claims’’ a population of 72,000
The “Gale City" lias an enormous
capacity for “claiming” things.
There is a certain journal there
which claims that the fnrmers of
Georgia have theirctulhcs all spun
and wove at home.
The Denmcratic State commit
tee of Minnesota met recently at
St. Paul, and unanimously cn
dorsed the administration of
President Cleveland. They also
expressed a perfect willingness to
stake the result of llie next na
tional contest “apnn the doctrine
slated in his last message.’’
The pur|Mise of Senator Brown,
and his organ the Atlanta Con
stitution. is to secure the retire
menl of Mr. Cleveland by offering
him a platform that consistency,
honesty, and self-respect Wouid
compel him to reject. The astute
Senator, and his willing organ
must be watched.
Where arc the spinning wheels
and hand looms? According to a
recent statement of the esteemed
Atlanta Constitution, the farmers
of Georgia are still producing
their clothing upon these primi
live machines. The last we saw
were at the Slate Fair, where they
were on exhibition as curiosities.
The tariff bill, which has been
in course of preparation for the
last two months, has been submit
ted to the full committee on ways
ami means, and it is estimated
that it will reduce the revenues
shout $55,000,000. The commit
lee will probably report in favor
■<f abolishing the internal tax on
I'diacco and fruit distillations.
When the Atlanta Constitution
staled that the {armors of the
South had their clothing ail spun
and woven at home, we thought
the climax of absurdity had been
reached; but we were mistaken,
it now says that the indebtedness
of Southern and Western farmers
is an evidence ol prosperity, and
consequently an argument in favor
of a protective tariff.
Eiicnwood now has a partner in
t lie person of Henry B. Tompkins,
and the two, being entirely ton pa
triotic to vole for Grover Cleve
land, will very likely go into the
Republican parly, where they will
find everything more in accor
dance with their peculiar views
and desires. Who will lie the
next convert to the party of “high
moral ideas?”
It may be said, without fear «i
successful contradiction, that the
l«ople of this country, since I860,
have not been confronted with
more momentous issues than those
which must be decided at the
election* to lie held during the
present year. It it. therefore,
not only of the utmost impor
tance that we should understand
the great questions that will be.
submitted, to us for settlement,
but that we should exercise every
precaution necessary to preveal
ilie success of any attempt to dc
feat the will of the people. There
:s no doubt tiinl Georgia is over
whelmingly in favor of a mat- rinl
reduction of the tariff, but it
should lie borne in mind that
there is always an active and un
tiring minority, ready to resort
to any expedient by which they
may secu-re a triumph, and ac
complish their purposes. Just
such a minority, led hy the At
lanla Constitution, exists in our
State to-day. They insist on the
total abolishment of the lax on
whiskey, because such a policy
will necessitate a continuation of
the tariff on the necessaries of
life, which amounts to about 4G
per cent, that the farmers are
compelled to pay. All llie hypo
critical cant and deceitful clamor
concerning alleged “Russian out
rages” perpetrated upon the ''pour
moonshiner” should not mislead
or deceive anybody. It is only a
part of an infamous programme
to dtfeat Mr. Cleveland and llie
Democratic parly, and to fasten
upon the country a system of le
galized robbery which has already
degraded and impoverished llie
great and fundamental interest ot
agriculture. The advocates and
beneficiaries of this system care
no more for the illicit distiller
than they do for the man in the
moon. They arc only using him
as a means of furthering tliei,
own selfish ends. The Atlanta
Constitution some time ago made
llie announcement that Senator
Colquitt, at the expiration of his
present term, must step down and
out, ami his place shall be filled
hy a man who is in favor of rob
l>ing the farmer for the liencfit of
the manufacturer. In other words,
a man most be sent to the federal
Senate who will aid and abet the
Republican party in its war upon
the interests of the people. To
accomplish this nefarious pur|iose,
it will be necessary to electa Leg
islnture pledged to the sup|M>rt ol
that policy, and in the hiq>e of
success they will exhaust tbe re
sources of shrewdness and rascal
ity. It is not only Senator Col
quill that they will attempt to de
feat, but an effort will be made to
“retire” every Congressman who
has had the honesty, patriotism,
and manhood to oppose thy de
mands of the monopolists, and to
es|H>use the cause of llie people.
But even if the monopolistic junto
in Georgia, through their obsequi
ous mouth piece, the Atlanta Con
stitution, should succeed in com
passing the defeat of Senator Col
quitt, and the retirement of our
tariff reform Congressmen, their
abominable scheme would only lie
partly accomplished. I^lie chief
object of their hatred and np[iosi-
linn is Grover Cleveland, the bead
of tbe government-, ami the great
leader of llie Democratic party.
Mis defeat would afford them more
joy Ilian any other possible event.
Kut recognizing his wonderful
popularity, they dare not openly
and honestly oppose him; hut will
seek to gel him out of llie way by
packing the St. Louis Convention
with the enemies of the people,
thereby securing tbe adoption of
a platform upon which Mr. Cleve
land could not accept a nomina
lion without abandoning the prin
ciplcs he so fearlessly advocated
in his late annual message to
Congress. It will readily be seen,
therefore, what important conse
quences liiffge ujion the action of
the people of the eonnties in se
lecting delegates to tbe State Con
vent ion, which will soon he called
for tbe purpose of choosing a dele
gat ion to represent Georgia in the
National Democratic Convention
which will convene in the city of
St. Louis on the 5lti day of June.
President Cleveland has nnomine
ed to the country the only issue
upon which tbe Democracy can
successfully wage the approach
ing national contest, and if the
party platform shall he so worded
as to obscure that issue, or to
force Mr. Cleveland to ret use tbe
nomination, tbe Republicans will
gain an easy and an overwhelm
ing victory. The time for inde
cision amt tear and doubt has
passed, and tbe people must de
mand at the ballot box a reduc
tion at taxation, or submit forev
er to Ilia iniquitous tariff, which
rolls them without mercy. In ev
cry county there is, perhaps, s
small anti-Cleveland minority,
which will he very active and ag
gressive. and which will no doubt
be in constant communication
with the junto in Atlanta am to
the liest course to pursue to get ip
their dirty little work. Q/-coarse
there will tie so wowed opposi
tion to onr great tariff reform
leader. That would develop their
weak secs, and destroy all hope of
success. O yes, they will ail claim
to be Cleveland awn, and in this
disguise will endeavor to sneak
into the State Convention, control
its action, sad semi men to St.
Lnait determined to nfler Mr.
Cleveland ths presidential notni
nation upon a Sam Randall plat
form This of course would com
pel bis retirement, destroy all
hope of tax reduction, and restore
the Republicans to power, which
would mean n re-enactment ol the
terrible scenes of reconstruction.
Therefore every farmer, and every
body else, who recognizes the
priceless value of Democratic
government, who is opposed to the
outrageous system of robbery,
known as protection, and who i*
in favor of tbe re nomination of
Grover Cleveland upon a platform
proclaiming tbe great principles
which were enunciated in bislate
annual message to Congress—
everybody, we «sy. who entertains
these sentiments should attend
the county mass meetings at all
hazards, and see to it that none,
none but genuine tariff reiorui
Cleveland Democrats are elected

protecting, patriotic duty devolv
ing upon all good citizens.

than of all other sarsaparilla* or blood
purifier*. The earn# success is extend

Hood's Sanaparffla
Has a record of cores of scrofula and
otlicr blood diseases never equalled by
any other preparation. The most severe

Some people appear to think

It this be true, why was it that
