Provision has been made for the
building of a now U. S. poniten-
liary, to cost not exceeding *o00,-
D00. The Atlanta newspapers and
people are working nurd to secure ;
its location in that city, and we
liope they will succeed. It, cer-
thinly ought to be located some
where in the South, and Atlanta is
probabl y the most easily accessible
point, as well as one of the most
central, which could bo selected,
By all means, let it be built m At-

Spain, by the deposition in Cuba
of Campos, who was disposed to bo
humane, and tlia substitution in
his stead of Weylor, who has gain¬
ed the unenviable title of “the But¬
cher' 1 on account of his barbarous!
cruelties, has virtually raised the
black flag in that unhappy island.
This means that the rebels, as they
are termed, who are now making a
desperate effort to free themselves
from the despotic oppression and
cruelty put upon them by the Span¬
ish government, will bo given no
quarter, but summarily executed
when caught. The suffering and
tortures to winch the ('uban people
will bo subjoctod can hardly be im-
agined. In view of these facts, wr
think th.e time has about arrived
for the American Congress to re-
cognize the insurgents as at least
having bidligerent rights, and serve
notice upon the Spanish govern¬
ment that this inhuman butchery
must cease.
THE SALOON MUST GO.
The Albany Herald notes the fact
that four saloons in that town will
go out of business now for lack ot
patronage. This, with similar re-
ports from several towns of li'<©
sizo, and tho statement of leading
saioonists in the State that
ness is getting worse every year,
carries its lesson. W hat laws and
legislation have failed to accom-
plish is being done by a moral pub-
lie sentiment. Al! the towns men-
tioned are surrounded by prohibi-
tion counties, ami taking iv cursory
view, saloons should be miniature
gold mines, out the tact is- patent
that they are not, and that the
business, despite all favorable ex¬
terior circumstances, is steadily
decreasing.—Cordele Sentinel.
BUT ONE CONVENTION.
The Atlanta Constitution origi¬
nated the idea of holding but one
Democratic State convention in
Georgia this year, and letting that
nominate candidates for Governor
and State House officers and also
*.'leet , electoral , , ticket . , for
an
State. A large number of leading
Democrats throughout the State
are in favor of this.

Populism ami Sosiulisin.
Hon. Tom Watson sounds a note of
alarm in a recent issue of his paper.
He has made the discovery that
many so-called Populists are really so¬
cialists of the Coxey band, and it is a
part of t heir policy to interfere with the
property rights of their neighbors.
Tins does not suit Mr. Watson, and he
threatens to retire from the party if
the socialists become strong enough to
control it. He claims that be has
always been conservative in his ideas
and methods, and declares that the
government of Washington or Jeffer¬
son is good enough for him.
It is gratifying to find Mr. Watson
speaking out in this fashion, and now
that iie plainly sees the drift of Popu¬
lism, and is aware of the
strength of the socialists, lie should
walk out of the Third Party and re-
turn to the Democratic fold. The
Democrats who are most zealous and
useful in the cause of genuine reform
afford to ally themselves with
will find no better place to work for
their proposed reforms than inside
tl,e democratic party.
It is a short-sighted policy on
part of any Democrat to go into
Third Party in the hope of
the country all at once. When lie
the socialists in the majority
his new associates, the only thing
him to do is to cut loose from them and
return to his old party. Democrats
make mistakes and blunders, but,
all, they are the party of the
and they have done more for
rights than all the other organizations
which have ever existed in this
country.
