The Democratic party is the true
party of the people. It is the
party whose platform does not con-
tain one plank which would ‘'-crease
tho peoples’ hardens.

The more the Democrats think a-
bout it, the better are’they pleased
with the nomination of Grover Cleve-
End. „ 1 he more they . learn , about , ,
Adlav E. Stevenson the better they
like him. The Democratic ticket is
one which people will take pride in
voting.

It is expected that Congress will
adjourn next week. The appropria¬
tions have been 88,500,000 less than
those of tho first session of the “billion
dollar Congress.” This with m iking
up a deficiency of *14,500,000 makes
a saving over the Reed Congress dur¬
ing its first session of $22,000,000.

In a recent debate in congress,
Senator Sherman said that in addition
to 8111,000,000 in gold in the United
States Treasury wo have $155,000,000
gold certificates, every dollar ac¬
counted for, dollar for dollar. For
every dollar of the Treasury notes is¬
sued under tho law of 1890, we have
one dollar of silver, measured by the
gold standard, behind it. There are
$300,000,000 silver dollars now in the
Treasury. This statement is a strong
endorsement of the silver plank in
the Democratic platform.

An island in the Malay Archipela¬
go is reported to have been recently
destroyed by volcanic action, and the
entire population, 12,000 in number,
perished. This recalls to mind the
volcanic eruption on the island of
Krakatoa, in the strait of Sunda, in
August, 1S83, by which 30,000 peo¬
ple were killed. The effect of this
disturbance was remarkable in ex¬
tent; in some ways it was felt all
over the earth; tho explosions were
actually heard over a surface aggre-.
gating onevfourteenth of the total
surface of the earth; the resulting
air wave made a complete circuit of
the globe back to Krakatoa. Many
of our readers will remember the red
appearance of the heavens seen in the
early evening hours for several
months following that wonderful
eruption.

The attornies for tho Amalgama¬
ted Association are preparing to pros¬
ecute Carnegie, Fricks, Tatter and
Lovejoy, owners and managers of tho
Carnegie mills, also Robeit and Wil¬
liam Pinkerton on the charge of trea¬
son, in maintaining a force of armed
men, without the legal right to do so.
Tlie bringing of a force of armed
men into one state from another, is a
violation of the Federal Constitution,
and this may be a very serious matter
for the millionaires.
$ k *
In condemning the action of the
Pinkerton men, the News must not
be considered as upholding the strik¬
ers. Striking at best rs bad business.
At t!»* command of a few leaders.
thousands are thrown out of employ -
ment; the means of earning their dai-
ly bread is denied them; their fanii-
lies ,• suffer (T r from hunger , an.I , want of ,
the necessaries of lire. y
-rtr *
But it is claimed that they quit
work voluntarily. While this is not en-
tirulv true, yet admitting it were, the
•strikers while stopping work them-
selves, have no ri<du to prevent nth-
-us from working. In doing this they
vm,ate the law, and the military . .
force of the State of Pennsylvania i.->
teaching the Homestead strikers a
most salutary lesson.
* * *
Still, it is impossible to withhold
sympathy . from . these , hard , toilers,
They feel they have rights beyond
their daily wages, and herein lies the
irrepressible conflict between labor
and capital.
HOT SHOT
POURED INTO THE RANKS OF
THE THIRD PARTY.
Let Everybody Read This.
El)1TOU News: “The way of the
trinPgresjop is hard.”
This fact is amply verified in
issue of.July loth, where “Peoples’
Party” jumps on “A Democrat” and
just bodily wipes him off the face of
the earth for , daring , . 10 sav that , ,, bail
^ chers are n(Jt privl i e ged
acters Ull q !uve a ri , hl to engage in
most anythin a- that comes along. The
position taken and the arguments
advanced by “Peoples’ Party” smack
of Baptist preachers of the one £ al-
(used stripe or school teachers of
questionable grade from the neigh¬
borhood of Goshen. He euteis this
discussion not for the purpose of
showing how smart he is, b it in de^
fense of that class of citizens known
as 25 cent Baptist preachers who have
become cranky on the third party
idea, and are giving their entire time
to creating political strife among
their members and other citizens.
“Peoples’ Party” would doubtless
make a name for himself and reach
tho pinnacle of fame that he
would be envied by the en¬
tire third party hoard if it
was not for two things: F’irst he
seems to have a very poor delivery
and secondly lie don’t have anything
to deliver.
But let us see what lie says. First
he announces that it is all
right for preachers to make
political speeches from the same
pulpit that they preach the gospel
from. Here Mark takes issue with
him. In the 11th chapter and 15th
verse we find the following: “And he
taught saying unto them, Is it not
written my house shall be called of
all nations the house of prayer but ye
have made it a den of thieves.” His
own argument is that politicians are
thieves and not to be trusted.
When anyone is constantly enga¬
ged in making political speeches,
though he may sport the ministerial
robe lie is a politician, likewise a
thief if the arguments made by third
partyites against lawyers and pcliti-
ticians be true.
“Peoples’ Party” says “‘A Demo¬
crat’ suggests that they (the preach'
ers), go to the law grounds preaching
free money, frea grub and free dick¬
er’ to everybody.”
Here the great apostle of the
“goose quill” was bothered about the
low-grade ,-license granted him to
teach and misquoted me.
What I said was: “True min¬
isters of the Gospel are found at their
post preaching free salvation and not
at the law ground preaching free
money, free grub and free dicker.’
So he is the one to suggest the thing
alleged to me, and doubtless they are
fit applications to preachers of the
third party stripe.
“Peof les’ Party” says ho can “cite
numerous instances where they have
passed through the trying ordeal of
becoming representatives to state leg
islatures without receiving a single
blot on their characters.” That’s all
right, but how about their religion
while engaged in this “ordeal?” How
were their churches faring during
this time? Was the prayer meeting
in full blast and the Sunday school
the talk of the neighborhood? How
much money was spent by them and
their flocks in placing religious litera¬
ture in the hand? of the children? I
suppose the money spent during this
time by these preachers and
churches on home and foreign mis¬
sions was simply immense.
That the people may know how
good and how pleasant it is for
preachers to be politicians, suppose
ynu give us in your next epistle an
itemized statement of one of these in-
stances. “True Baptist preachers,*'
says Peonies’ Party, “are born f rorn
above , and do rot ‘go to the dogs. ,„
Neither . do they into ..... politics, and
go
evidently, from his own argument, he
| s , K> t cf tho species referred to:
fc *4 A Democrat’ suggests that ‘Bap-
tist and other ministers leave tie
making of laws to the profession that
make such tilings a special study.
That musl lie lawyers and poll-
tieians. 1 hen he would have the
(lf 1jiws left t „ lawyers an( |
po!it : eians. This certainly would be
quite convenient to them, but how
would the other classes be affected
bv it? Is it not a pity our forefa¬
thers did not think of that when they
framed the constitution, and just
^ the maicini5 ()f laws to the law-
yer s and pnliticiai s instead of mak-
ing us all equal? But the old clod-
1 ^ads did nut think of it. ’
I did not say nor intimate that it
should be left to lawyers and politi—
wans to inukelho laws, but if they
controlled the last legislature its
record could not posibly be blacker
than it ’?.
It was a third party legislature
by third party ideas and
by all sensible people to
have been a collection of the greatest
class of ignorance ever congregated
in Georgia as a deliberative body,
1 take great pleasure in informing
“Peoples’ Party” that 1 am neither a
lawyer nor a politician, but have no
more fear of them than I do of any
other particular class of men making
all of our laws. But should it be left
to an y particular class, 1 am sure that
"ould be equally as safe in their
hands as in any other for the most
obv,ous reasons. They are, from the
nature of things, disinterested, and
e( P ,all J in tlie prosperity and thrift of
«ll business alike, and I venture the
assertion that no person can find on
the statute book of Georgia any law
introduced into the Legislature by a
lawyer in which lawyers would be
benefitted more than any other as a
class.
As to politicians I have this to say,
that if “Peoples’ Party” means that
those best calculated to look after the
interests of the public should be the
least skilled in the laws of the land
and the most unlettered and unlearn¬
ed in the polity and policies of na¬
tions and the j olitics of parties; he is
at issue not only with every true Bap¬
tist minister, but with every man who
makes any pretentions to common
sense and respectability.
Does “Pe iples’ Party” know that
those forefathers whom he ta'ks
about were tnen of ability and learn¬
ing and a great many of them law¬
yers and all of them politicians?
The greatest men this country ever
produced, the men who framed our
government and shaped its policy
were all politicians. Wetster, ( Hay
and Calhoun were politicians when in
life,and when dead are called states¬
men. Yet according to “Peoples’
Party’s” ideas of things these wise
and patriotic men, whose lives were
devoted to the good of the people
and the bettering of their conditions
were the least worthy to legislate by
ieason of that learning and ability
have stamped their names indelibly
on the pages of their countrys history.
“Peoples’ Party” doubtless would
prefer, say Stonecypher to Webster,
Herbert Kimsey to Clay, and himself
to Calhoun,—God save the mark!
What has come over the spirit of our
people when ignorance and impu¬
dence is applauded in the presence
of wisdom and honesty! Can a man
with a weak stomach contemplate
without nausea such comparisons.
He could stand possibly the comparU
son of dunghill to marble, Hyperion
Satyr, sunshine to darkness, but nev¬
er “Peoples’ Party” to Calhoun.
Every legislature since the war has
been controlled by farmers or those
interested in farming—hence the
lawyers could have enacted no law
without their help. Perhaps it has
never occurred to “Peoples’ Party”
that most of the rot indulged in by
men of his calibre is known to people
of goed, common sense to be the ef¬
fort and silly buncomb of a menda¬
cious crew of office seekers,and makes
no impression on the public.
But why make such a fight on the
lawyers? Are they not indispensi-
ble? Does not every officer from the
governor down to bailiff consult them
as to the management of their sever¬
al offices? And ycu even go to them
for advice. I venture the assertion
that they do more work for nothing
than any other class, considering
their numbers.
“Again he says the work of
preachers is not “that of arraying
gainst country neighbor, against friend town, neighbor a-
against friend,
brother against brother and father
against son. The Supreme Ruler of
the universe never mapped out any
work like that for the ministry.”
In Matt, x ch., 34th, 35th and 36th
verses we have these words: “Think
not that I am come to send peace on
^ art h, 1 am come not to send peace
but a sword. t or 1 am come to set
a man at variance against Ills ir,.i father
an j ^he dtit^hler against her mother,
and the daughter-in-law agaii.st lier
mother-in-law. Arid a man’s foes shall
be they of his own household.”
Now does “Peoples’ Party” hon-
estly believe the Scripture quoted
} ias any reference to the paragraph
relerred t0 a! , ov ,, ? lf s „,

Let “People.-d Party” study the

“There is one feature of the United

aware of,” said an ex-army officer,
“It isn’t generally known that there is
a company in the araiy eomirosed ra
t heyVre mSi^ed'anTsupimnnl
by the government as a distinct and
separate military organization. By
reference to the army appropriation
bill yon will see that the appropria
tion for the Seminole company is a
separate item, having nothing what
ever to do with the general appro
priation. This company has been in
existence since 18(51, did valiant serv
ice in the rebellion, and has been of
incalculable value in frontier sendee
since the war. I think the Seminole
company is now stationed at Fort

record answers the long mooted que.s

Coloring I! inis with Popper.
A well known German naturalist.
Dr. Sauermann, lias published a
number of curious observations on
the artificial coloration of canary
birds fed with cayenne pepper. Tin
plumage changes from yellow to red
The pepper contains an oily matter
and an irritating principle, and when
these are extracted by maceration the
pepper loses its coloring property,
but if olive oil be added to the mac
ei’ated pepper its coloring property
returns. Hence the oil is considered
the vehicle of the color. White hens
treated in the same way also become
reddish, and the yolks of their eggs
become a bright red.—New York

said the barber. “It would do you
harm,” answered Dr. Wills, “if the
people were to know that you shaved
an unbeliever.*’ “Not a bit of it,
Bahib. I would sliave the evil one
himself if he were only open handed;
and I should be respected for it. par¬
ticularly if’—with a chuckle— “I kept
tight hold of liis nose.”
Hassan, the barber, had tight hold
of the Englishman’s nose at that mo¬
ment, and us he was just going over
the region above Adam's apple with
his keen razor thei’e was no replying
to his joke.
“You should see me draw teeth—
such teeth 1 ” added the barber. “You,
doctor, who only draw the teeth of
piinees and gentry, you have never
seen such teeth, even in a dream.”
Here he drew his fingers, dipjied in
water over his client's chin—they do
not lather in the east—and added
with unction, “Such teeth—teeth
with five roots!”
Dr. Wills could not remonstrate,
for Hassan had him by the nose
again, and his razor was still playing
in dangerous places. The conversa¬
tion ended by the Englishman's prom
ising to visit the barber at his shop.
Hassan had no sooner gathered up
his traps and retired with dignity
than the servan t of Dr. Wills began
to expostulate.
“You won't go, sir, of course,”
he begem, as he handed liis master a
towel.
“Won’t go 1 Indeed I shall. Why
not, pray ?”
“Ah, you sahibs are always taken
in. Don't you see, sahib, why ho
wants you to come? He will say
you have come to learn from him.”
The Englishman was amused, and
at the time appointed lie went to
Hassan’s shop, and was received with
exuberant welcome.
“Your footsteps are on my eyes;
you are indeed welcome; you honor
my poor establishment.”
The place was “clean as a new
pin.” Vases of tlie Narcissus poeti-
cus filled it with fragrance, and cus¬
tom era were plentiful.
Heads were shaved; arms were
bled; a rheumatic sufferer lay down
and received three severe burns with
a hot iron, for which he seemed duly
grateful; and finauy Hassan “at-
tllall three y acts eXtract and f a a prologue, ^ ° f with an ll
interval of five minutes after each.”
At the end a large piece came
away.
“Ah,” said the triumphant barlier,
“that was where tho pain was!” And
the patient went out with his cheek
in his hand.
Dr. Wills soon followed hut was
hardly in his own courtyard before
his servant entered, pale with rage.
“Sahib! Oh, sahib!” he began. “I
said it 1 I knew it! He has done it;
1 knew he would! There he stands,
the rascal, explaining to the two
merchants, your patients, that you—
ah, that I should livo to see the day!

own request to take a lesson in tooth

The clothing man had printed a
big advertisement, and he was hon¬
est and had much business. A face¬
tious customer came in.
“1 like this,” he said, sticking out
a copy of the paper containing tlie ad.
“What’s tho matter with it?” asked
tho clothier.
“You say here, ’A good boy's coat
for fifty cents.' Can't a bad boy get
a coat for fifty cents too?”
“Yes,” said the clothier politely.
“Then why not make the adver¬
tisement to read ‘a boy's good coat
for fifty cents?’” and tho customer
laughed the laugh of a man who al¬
ways has everything just right.
The clothier was as serene and
gentle as the gospel of truth and
light.
“Because,” he said, “I meant it
the way I put it. We can’t sell a
boy’s good coat for fifty cents.* We
can and do sell a good boy's coat for
fifty cents, and if a bad boy wants
one of that kind he can have it ex¬
actly at the same price. See?”
Then the facetious customer put
the papier in his pocket and took one
of the coats home to his boy.—De¬

Oil as an Insulator.
The value of oil as an electric insu¬
lator, which has lieen supjxxsed to
have been well proved by practical
tests in this country and in Germany,
is now placed somewhat in doubt by
experiments conducted by Professor
Eliliu Thomson, the results of whose
experiments seem to show that altei*-
nating currents of moderate poten¬
tials and low periodicities will cause
puncture over much longer distances

At th<, Steamship Docks.
Among tiie striking sights of New
York sire those to be Keen ;it tho
docks. It is as interesting to look at
a steamship load of Americans hotrod
for Europe as to look at a steam: kip
load of European immigrants coming
into port. The outward bound Amer¬
icans are apt to be leas picturesque
in their garb than the incoming for¬
eigners.—New York Sun.
A Grub street friend of Johnson’s
was Derrick, of whom he wrote, “I
honor Derrick for his strength of
mind.” One night when Floyd, an¬
other poor author, was wandering
about tho streets he found Derrick
asleep upon a bulk. Upon being sud¬
denly awakened Derrick started up.
“My dear Floyd,” said he, “I am
sorry to see you in this destitute

on the bulk together like the good
fellows were.—Collector.
