THE TI iVLE5
Official Paper of the City of Toccoa and Coun¬
ty of Habersham.
McKinley at Hartford.
Mr. McKinley almost shed tears
at a banquet at Hartford the other
day because the American people
are “failing to appreciate his own
institutions.” Blit Mr. McKinley
is at fault in the use of bis pronouns.
What he fears is that there is a
failure to appreciate his institution,
and for this fear the American peo¬
ple have given him abundant cause.
Under the new tariff, which i6
by no means a model one, we have
free wool, and already the British
papers are bewailing the fact that
the English markets are
ed with Amercian-made woolens at
prices with which the foreign man
ufacturers find it difficult to com¬
pete. While this is true, the price
of domestic wool is not appreciable
lower than when the new law went
into effect. Lumber was put on the
free list, but the price of the pro¬
duct of domestic mills is not sacri¬
ficed as yet, and is not likely to be.
Free hides gave the United States
the command of the boot and shoe
market of the world, but the Amer¬
ican farmer has not yet been com¬
pelled to give away his hides, nor
has he suffered in consequence of
American dominence in the leather
markets of the world.
The people are not losiug their
appreciation of our institutions, the
corner stone of which is the liberty
of the people. In opposition to this
are the trade restrictions which Mr.
McKinley is trying to perpetuate
until they shall become an “insti
tution.”
Bemoaning the fact that our own
people are “too strongly prepos¬
sessed in favor of other political
systems,” Mr. McKinley is trying
to fasten upon us “other political
systems” that have been discarded
by the greatest commercial nation
of the world and have their strong¬
est hold in Russia, Italy r and other
nations still lagging far behind
in the spirit, inventive genius
capacity for labor that are typical
of the American people.

J^he above is from the Gainsville
Cracker, and it gives us great plea¬
sure to reprint it here, as the
Cracker says it has not nor ever
will groom a candidate, against our
distinguished fellow-citizen, Col.
J. W. Robertson for congress.
Shake, Cracker, all is well, and
with your kindly interest, as well
as other good, staunch, democratic
papers of the ninth, we will make
it mere child’s play for Col Robert
son to receive the nomination when
the convention is called next year
to nominate a successor to Carter
Tate.
Best Equipped
The Constitution a few days ago
said:
“The gossippers about ninth
district political possibilities will
have to eliminate from the list of
congressional candidates the
of Col. Bill Simmons of Gwinnett,
60 he says. .
“I love the game of politics,”
said the colonel, who was at the
Kimball, “but I am a candidate for
no office. I have no desire to go to
congress and no intention what¬
ever of going into the race, What
the other fellows will do I cannot,
of course say. There is talk of op¬
position to Carter Tate, but he is a
strong man with the people, looks
after their interests closely, and
would be a hard man for anybody
to beat. If I were asked to name
the man in the ninth best equipped
for congress I would say Col. Jas.
W. Roberson of Habersham, He
is not of course a candidate; in
fact I doubt if he has ever thought
of congress.”
Colonel Robertson is the man
who will represent the 9th district
after Carter Tate’s term expires.
Col. Robertson i6 making no can¬
vass now, but when the time
comes, he will likely announce
himself. In the meantime keep
your eye on your Uncle Jim Rob¬
ertson.
In article headed “Put on notice”
on the editorial page, occurs the
sentence, “foreman worthy of his
steel.” It should be “foeman
worthy of his steel.”

The late Ward McAllister said
that etiquette had changed b»t
Tittle during the last century and
that he had only to refer to his
“Book of Courtesy” published
three hundred years ago “to know
how to behave.” He was anxious,
it is said, to.shorten the duration
of dinner parties and to substitute
earlier hours for evening dances.
At the Methodist church last
Sunday, the special Easter services
in commemoration of the most glor¬
ious event in the life of Christ—
the resurrection from the dead—
were beautiful and bright. Mr.
Dillard’s sermon was, perhaps the
best he has ever preached in Toc¬
coa, and it was thoroughly appre¬
ciated and enjoyed by an unusually
large congregation. There were
beautiful flowers—a fitting emblem
•of Jbe resurrection—and the sing
ing by the choir was exceptionably
good.

War at an End.
The war between China and
Japan is at an end. A treaty of
peace has been signed by represent¬
atives of both countries.
The conditions are as follows ;
London, April 16.—“Li Hung
Chang’s son-in-law telegraphs that
the treaty of peace was signed in
Shimonoseki today, April 16th, and
| that the terms are :
“i. The independence of Corea.
“2. Japan’s retention of the con¬
quered places.
“3. Japan’s retention of the ter¬
ritory east of the Liau river.
“4. Permanent cession of For
mosa.
“5. Indemnity of $100,000,000.
“6.An offensive and defensive al
H&oce between China and Japan.”
London, April 17.—The Central
'News correspondent in Tokio
learns that the Chinese indemnity
to Japan is to be paid in silver in
five yearly installments, also
that by the terms of the treaty of
peace, Japan is to receive posses¬
sion of Formosa, the Pescardo is
lands, the peninsula of Liao Tung,
from Yin Kow to Au Ping, on the
Yalu river, and an jndemnity of
300,000,000 taels in silver. Sever¬
al important commercial conces¬
sions are also made by China, but
these Japan is to share with other
nations. No territory is to be oc¬
cupied by Japan as a temporary
guarantee, except, perhaps, Liu
Kung Tao.
