EDITORIAL PARAGRAPHS.
It is generally admitted that
Randall s was the best speech
made on the Republican aide dur
ing the tariff debate.
In the State Conrention of New
York, Governor Hill received only
live roles for delegate to the Su
Louis Convention.
Just to please old man Dana of
IheNew York Sun,probably, Beast
Buller will again become a candi
date for the Presidency.
The Republicans of Virginia
are divided into two biller and
uncompromising factions, one
bended by Malione, and the other
by John S. Wise.
The Democrats^of Ohio, the
leading wool growing Stale in the
Uninn. in their recent Convention
unanimously adopted resolutions
strongly endorsing the Mills Bill,
although that measure places wool
on the tree list.
The Republicans reserved Sam
nel J. Randall for next to the last
day of the debate, and when the
gentleman's hour had expired,
Mr. McKinley, a leading Repub
lican, proposed to divide his own
time with his Democratic ally.
A few disappointed politicians
in Georgia are raising a great out
cry because Senator Colquitt caine
home during the meeting of the
Convention to congratulate the
representatives of the people upon
the signal triumph of honest Dcra
ocratic principles.
The Evening News of Macon
quotes almost daily from the col
umns of the New York Sun, and
quotes approvingly. The Sun
supported Beast Butler in 1884,
and is still bitterly lighting Presi
dent Cleveland and the Democrat
ic party.
The Hon. Patrick Walsh, of
Angusta, is still smarting under
the lash of defeat, and haa written
a long letter to prove that he |ms
sesscs all wisdom, and that the
people of Georgia, as represented
in Atlanta at the recent Slate
Convention, are fools.
Mr. Thomas Gresham, a popu
lar citizen of Atlanta was shot and
killed last week by George Eddie
man, a real estate agent. Cause:
too much whisky. If we were to
say that all those who voted to
bring whisky back to Atlanta
were a party to this crime, it
would sound very strange to some
people, yet such is the case.
The so called Democratic pro
tectionists of Georgis and of other
Southern Stales never weary of re
]>cating the statement that the
South is solid because of a fear of
negro domination. The truth is
the South is solid in favor of Dem
ocratic principles, prominent
among which is opposition to u
protective tariff.
If the protectionists and their
representatives were sincere in
what they say, it would be right
and proper to conceije to them the
most unselfish patriotism ever
seen in the world. They declare
that their only reason for favoring
a protective tariff is u> benefit ibe
farmers and laboring men of the
country. They don't want it for
their own sake at all.
Mr Randall, who lias been un
duly eulogized for his supposed
friendship Tor the South, made his
speech last Friday against the
lull to reduce tnxalion, in the
course of which he could not re
sist the temptation to call up the
ghost of secession, and to de
nounce the institution of slavery.
The mask is being removed, and
Sammy’s real character is about
to be developed.
EL The Atlanta Constitution says
that there is not now a dozen men
in Georgia who do not believe that
the recent Convention made ■
great political mistake. If the
Convention had declared in favor
of ro|>ealing the whisky tax, and
against any reduction of the tar
iff, llie Constitution would have
been loud in the happy assertion
that the people iiad aeled.wisely
and well.
The Senatorial (jrntlai.
Our esteemed contemporary. Urn
Liberal, in an editorial last week,
upon "Senatorial matters,” lakes
the position that "the county
whose turn it is to furnish the
Senator should be accorded the
right to name the man.” .We pro
p<we to discuss itis proposition ■
little, in order to demonstrate the
absurdities that would result from
its practical operation. We take
it for granted that Terrell and
Clay concede the right to Ran
dolph this time to furnish the
Senator, hat we cannot see any
reason why they should he exclu
ded from all participation in the
important matter of naming' the
man. They are component parts
ol the same senatorial constituen
cy; they are equally interested
with ourselves in the selection of
a suitable representative for the
district; and to demand that they
stand aloof, and let Randolph
manage the whole business, seems
to us to he unkind, unfair, and
undemocratic. Every Legislature
is confronted with some great
public question for decision, and
U|s>n such questions, of coarse,
the people will be more nr less di
vider). Take our own senatorial
diatricl, for instance. Randolph
by a small majority might favor
a certain measure, while an over
whelming majority ot the whole
district would beagainslit. Would
it be right under such circum
stances for Randolph to nominate
the Senator? Would the Senator,
so Dominated, represent the views
and wishes of a majority of his
constituents? He ccrlninly would
not, and we are frank to say that
we fail to see any justice or fair
ness in the new method proposed
by our neighbor.
Let us make our illuatration a
little more definite and explicit.
Two years from now, under the ro
latinn system, it will lie Terrell's
turn to furnish the Senator. The
Legislature la -lie chosen at that
lime will have to elect a United
States Senator to succeed Hon. Jo
seph E’ Brown. Suppose that our
venerable representative in the
Federal Senate should express a
willingness to be returned, and
that the canvass in the State
should he made upon that issue;
nnd suppose that Terrell in the
exercise of her right under the
proposed new plan, decides in fa
vor of Brown by a majority of only
a few votes, while the other two
counties of the district decide
against him by large majorities.
The result would he that onr Sen
ator would vote for Mr. Brown
while lifsconstituency would be
decidedly against him. It is
true that this is a supposition,
but it is iinportaut and valuable
in so far as it illustrates a slate
of affairs that would certainly
arise under the practical opera
tion of a method which literally
restricts nominations to a small
minority of the people.
Let us investigate this matter a
little farther. Suppose the propo
sitinn is accepted, and a primary
election is ordered foe our county.
There would lie say three candi
dates In the race, and not more
than 500 ballots cast. A receives
800 votes; B receives 150 votes;
and C receives 150 votes. A, al
though he receives a minority of
the votes polled, is declared the
choice of the jieoplc; and we have
ibe extraordinary s|iectacle ol 209
men exercising the right to name
a man to represent a Senatorial
district. Moreover, the new plan,
for ail practical purposes, would
abolish Senatorial Conventions,
and all that would be necessary to
do, would he for the county having
the power to make the nomination,
to notify the other counties of the
result of its action.
Rut wc have neither time nor
space at preseut fur a further dis
mission of our neighbor's proposi
tion. Its absurdities are so man
ifeal and so numerous that we do
not believe that it will receive the
approbation of the people uf the
district. We have no objection to
a primary election to nominate a
Senator, but in the name of fair
ness, in the name of justice, in the
name of Democracy, let the elec
tion extend to every precinct in
the Senatorial district. We be
lieve that the chairmen of the
county executive committees con
stitute the executive committee for
the district, and we will most
cheerfully abide by whatever plan
they may see proper to order.
Still we see nn reason in tile
world for a ilepa'ture from the
methods which have prevailed in
the past. These views are ex
pressed in a conservative spirit,
without regard to any particular
man's interest. Indeed, we have
not even thought of how any plan
of* nomination would affect the
fortunes of those who may be seek
ing political preferment. Wesim
ply oppose any proposition that
denies lo any portion of the peo
pie the right to have a voice in
selecting their representatives.

Editors Enterprise and Appeal:
In the present slate of difference
as to prohibition, and perhaps
andidales for Solicitor General,
(to say nothing of 9iilqiiitt~W
Senator,) existing lielween Ran-
lolph. Clay and Terrell counties,
it appears to the common run of
our fellow citizens that the posi
tion of the Liliera! in claiming
that only Randolph is entitled to a
voice in naming the candidate to
represent the 1 llh Senatorial Dis
trict. is calculated to work harm
and result in a number of candi
dates, to the contusion nf party
discipline and the practice of the
party.
Let us bv all means, this lime,
have a fair nomination, and that
we may have such a nomination,
let Clay and Terrell join in the
primary election, voting only for
Randolph men. Clay lias inter
ests, so has Terrell. Let Ran
dolph be satisfied with her rights..

One Tory singular and ii
last bet stands mil baldly aad
prominently above the clash and
clamor of the tariff eaatmrerajr.
It is that President Cleveland ia
the recognised leader of the peo
ple, and that with him at its head
the Democratic party at the ap
proaching elections wilt achieve
a sweeping and decisive victory.
From Ohio to Florida, and from
Maine to California, tha Damo
crata have, with extraordinary
unanimity and enthusiasm, en
dorsed his administration, and re
cum mended him lo the Si. Louis
Convention for renomi nation. It
ia evident that be is the chant
pion of popular rights, and
so called Democrats who, for rea
sons satisfactory to themselves,
perhaps, have advocated the pro
lection outrage and rubbery,
withstanding their usnal cheek
and presumption, have not had
the courage lo oppose him. They
bave fought bis bold and fearless
views upon the greatest issue now
before the country, with the ut
most denunciation and bitterness,
bdl they have not had the bardi
hood to antagoaize the popular
demand for bis leadership. While
these so called Democratic protec
lionisla are relentless in their
grasp upon the jwiekpts of the
lieople, they are not blind to the
progress of events. They perceive
the current of popular favor and
approval that is bearing the Pres
ident and his tariff viewa swiftly
on lo victory, and they realize the
impotence of their efforts to stem
the sweeping tide. Hence they
present to the country the extra
ordinary spectacle of claiming to
support what they cuntiane to de
nounce aa a humbug and a crime.
This fact has been no where more
conspicuously demonstrated than
in our own State, where a mere
handful of bounty grabbers have
exhausted their |iowers of abusive
opposition to all proposals for
reduction of tariff taxation, aad
yet they outstrip everybody in
their devotion to Mr. Cleveland,
who ia the leader of the people's
cause. Such ill disguised bypoe
risy, however, has been successful
in deceiving only a few, as was
abundantly shown bv the fearless
and outspoken declarations nf the
lieople in their recent Convention
These super-loyal friends of the
administration.afllueol in shrewd
ness, and deception, now under
take to excuse aad palliate the in
suit which they have offered In
the Democracy, by declaring that
the tariff ia not a parly issue, but
only a “minor” question of gov
ernmental policy. They indulge
in this silly assertion in face ef
the fact ibst the President, recog
mzing its transcendent impor
tance, made it the subject of his
entire annual message to Con
gress; and in view also of the fact
that the Republicans, in their
State Convections, have declared
in favor of the present tariff, while
the Democrats have spoken in
lavor of reduction. It is not a
"minor” question of policy. It
is not a queation of policy at all.
It ia a grave and momentous
question of principle, involving
the constitutional rights of thr
people; and the Democratic party
stands now, where it baa always
stood, opposed to the taxing of
one class of citizens for the en
richment of another. No party
can stand any where else in limes
ol pesce, snd reasonably expect
the people to sustain it. The
present congress may not be able
to bring about a settlement of
this question. It may not be set
tled by ibe next, but, as Mr. Wil
son, of West Virginia, said ia bis
recent s|«eclt in favor of the Mills
bill, we will not let up ia this
work, we will “rock the country
from ocean to ocean,” till we ob
tain a fair and equitable adjust
ment of the taxation problem. Mr.
Cleveland's great popularity is
due more lo bis courageous stand
in behalf of the people on the tar
iff iaane than to any other act of
his administration, and his re-
election will be not only a trium
phant endorsement of hia views,
but a demand that they be carried
into effect.

u> weaken the Mills bill by a ailiy
attempt to aaauciale it with slave
ry and secession, and to keep
alive sectional hatred aad animos
ities, which no patriot would seek
to do nndcr any circumstances.—
After this ailiy, selfish and sec
tional performance on the part of
Mr. Randall, bis few sycophantic
admirers in Georgia and elsewhere
were prompt to repeat the ridicu
lous assertion that he "ia the ac
knowledged leader of the Demo
cratic party ia the tieuse.” To
be a "leader” one must have fol
lowers, and it is a well known
fact that tho few so called Demo-
crats who train with Randall do
not constitute a decent or respec
table faction. The assertion,
therefore, that bo ia the acknowl
edged Democratic leafier, ia aboal
as far from the troth as the east is
from the west. The adulation that
ia being so copiously lavished up
on this Philadelphia demagogue
by the organs of certain Southern
beneficiaries of tariff taxation,
about aa disgusting an exhibition
as an honest and decent man has
to witness in this selfish world
Instead ofheing a "leader of the
Democratic party,” it would be
difficult matter for him or hia aer
rile adherents to prove that he ia
a democrat at all. If we judge
Mr. Randall by hia avowed prin
ciplea, hia actions; and hia polili
cal association, bis place will he
found outside the limits of the
Democratic party, aad we know of
no other criterion by which to
judge him.

Confederate Soldiers.
It ia now nearly n quarter of
century since the close of the war,
anil many of the gallant veterans
•f the Southern armies have la
bored nnder great difficulties for
means of support for themselves
snd families. Aa time passes, age
adds to these difficallies. and in
many cases no doubt there will be
suffering unless some assistance
can be obtained from tbe govern
meat. It would be a grateful and
noble act for the States of tbe
Sooth to take this matter in band,
and see to it that no hero of the
lost eanse” is permitted te need
the actual necessaries of life.
Many of these eld soldiers are
suffering from aenons and painfol
disabilities incurred while in the
service of their connlry, aad tbe
fact that they are denied the bene
fits of federal pensions, is an a
ditional reason wl>y they should
be eared for by Ibetr State govern-
meats. Itis tree that some of the
States hare done aomethiag in this
way, but none of them have pro
vided anything like nn adequate
support for their disabled aad de
pendent be roes. Every year tbe
number of these old veterans
grows less and less, and ere long
the last one will have |>asaed over
tbe river to join hie comrades on
the other shore. While they are
here, let ns provide for those who
are not able to take care of them
selves. Every consideration of
patriotism and gratitude demands
that we abonld do this. It would
he a aad commentary upon oer
boosted love for the cob federate
cause if, although failing toes tab
lisbonr independence, wethonld
allow a single disabled defender
of that cause to need the neceaei
tics of life. The South can ia no
more appropriate way demonstrate
its love for the principles of jes
lice aad right, forthemaintenaece
of which she slaked everythieg,

from six to tea feet in depth.
Along tbe bluffs on the eastern
edge of the submerged district,
hundreds of families are. camped,

of these people were well to-do,

But here and there is a apark of

vast majority of the inhabitants
fled to higher lsnd, a few were not

judged the character of tbe break

stay with tbeir homes, end are
now living in the garrets or on tbe
roofs. Every roof haa been tarn
ed into a place of refuge for live
stock, poultry, etc., but number
less benaea have been lifted from
their foundations, and carried
awav with the irresistible enr
rent, nr demolished entirely. In
the Say levee district, below Ihie
city, tbe situation is infinitely
worse than in tbe regions to tbe
north. The crevasse, which tom
pleted the inundation, opened at
the apper end of the embankment,
and the peal up waters from tbe
river poured ever vast tracts of
tha rich farming land, sweeping
everything before it. Tbe torrent
rushed down in great waves, aev-
j eral feet high, with a force which
nothing could withstand.
The towns of Fall Creek, Sea

If you hava never tried it. do so. and you
will be convinced of its peculiar merit.
Spring Medicine
“I take Hood’s Sarsaparilla tor a spring
medicine, and I find it just the thing. It
tones up my system and makes me feel
like a different man.” F. C. Turner,

Atlanta. May 20.—Deputy
Marabal Buice arrested Abraham
Slrickler iu Forsyth county, last
Friday anil brought him lo Allan
la Saturday, where be gave bond
lo appear in the District Court
next term. Slrickler is a colored
moonshiner and has grown old in
lira business. Time and lime
again baa ho been arrested and
tried for the violation of the inter
usl revenue laws, but generally he
escapes punishment ou some tech
nicality.
Tbe deputy marabal bad wind
ef tbe tact for several days that
an illicit distillrry was ie opera-
tioa near Cutnmiog, and eu Fri
day set out to locate it. He had
t clue as to tbe community in
which it was located, but so in
geniously was it conducted that
it was with the greatest difficulty
that tbe establishment was found.
After spending Ibe entire day in
va:a, about datk be came serosa
an open field in cultivation, and
lo hia surprise a small stream of
toke waa seen issuing from a
spot seemingly aa if it was aa tn-
lerior fire. Approaching the
place where the smoke waa belch
tug up. he found a small stove
pipe protruding about two feet
from tbe surface and near by, be
found a small bole in the earth
which a well constructed pair of
steps conducted below. The dep
uty marabal, on reach ing tbe
bottom, discovered that be waa
ia a cyclone pit uf about twelve
feet ia depth and thirty feet
square. Tbe botlem waa neatly
floored while the top was covered
with fence rails and red clay. Ia
u corner waa a pipe which
caught the water ooxing out ol
‘ i earth. Ia the rear of the pit
was s lunae! which extended
some twenty leet into tbe earth
and the pipe raa into this. Tbe
drputy marshal went into the
tunnel and to hia surprise a dis
Ulfery waa found iu full opera
tion. but no one was to be feu a«i
ou the inside.
On leaving tbe pit the deputy
marshal, satisfied lha$ some one
must be in tbe vicinity who waa
ruuuing the corn juice manufact
ory, began to leitk^ around for the
person. Near by was a small
hickory tree in which e peculiar
object waa spied, which resembled
a turkey buxxard. He approach
ed tbe tree, and striking a match
he discovered a negro silling ou
one of the limbs. He was taken
charge of by the deputy marshal
and brought lo Atlanta.
Deputy Marshal Reice is a
veteran iu the business of arrest
tag moonshiners, but he says ol
all the distilleries be has ever
md, be has never discovered
any that would compare with the
ingenious contrivance of this ne
gro Slrickler.—Macon Telegroph.
Hon. Robert L. Taylor has been
