Without the hardest kind of fighting in the October election the negro disfranchisement famendment is in jeopardy for the nigger vote is the remaining city ot refuge for the shifty politicians. Watch the line up and m°rk, and hi and everyone of them who don’t line up white. Judge Rodden berry, of the county of Thomas, could, if he would, tell the world ol the petfidy of the pro hibitionists of the second congress sinnat district, whose • candidacy for congress made Judge Griggs get a hump ou which he never knew be fore. Ih Thomas county Col. Bill Ham . mond won over Judge C harlie P. Hansell for judge of the city court. Judge Hammond, they say, is his father’sjson—saying which is suffi cient. Judge Frank Park, of Sylvester, the man choseu last Thursday to preside over the courts of the Al bany judicial circuit a.'ter this year, is said to be a clean, high*toned gen tleman and an able judge of the law. It he will give us a judicial record as clean and even handed as that made by Judge Spence we shall have just cause of gratulation. We trust that If >ke and h.s pres* e*it Lcgislatu>e will fix f > -ubmit a constitutional amendment giving the governor an official term of four years, with biennial sessions of the lure — precluding a second >o man v elections prosperity of he leg 1.-1 term for either. 1 for the peace and things up and the discussion ol platforms and candidates waxes warmer every day, there in another important matter that is being set* tied quietly and almost unconscious ly by the citizens at large—the mats ter of the issues on which the com ing campaign will be fought. It is sometimes said that the politicians determine the issues as well as ev j s ry thing else; but as a matter of fact, the rule ot the people is much more act ual in this country than is gen - erally appreciated, and it is -‘you, and me, and the man over yonder” who will say what the issues are to be. Having studied most everything else in human affairs the sociolog ists have turned their attention to the scientific aspects of political par* ties, and they have evolved some in terest i.g conclusions. In a number of the American Journal of Socio l«'gy, Pro'. Ward now of Brown University, but until recently one of the most prominent scientific men at the national capital, discusses the sociology of political parlies in a w’ay that ought to make the aver- a ;e eit zen take a more active inter est m his own government. As a sociologist who made his reputation by bringing the results ot life*loug study of geology and biology into the field of human activities. Dr, Ward is perhaps better qualified than any other American to disenss the side ot political partisanship. The researches involved in writing such works as “Psychic Factors of Civilization,” and Outlines of Socio- logy,” as wr-Il as such considerations as entered into a fanciful study un* dertaken about a year ago of the probable course of civilization on the planet Mars have been in line with this recent study. It is often overlooked that politi cal parties which seem stronglv op* posed [to one another are really struggling tor the same end. If it were possible to get the same amouct of force without a division el the people it might be desirable but unless theie is some opposition -a) it any course ot action is likely to become a eentnfugaljforce, scatter ing its energy so that nothing is ac complished. There is, then, no pro* gress without opposition. Profes. sor Ward points out, an 1 so, al though they : re working for the same end, opposing political parties have come into being under every form of government where the j.eo- j pie have any voice in their affairs, j so an issne must be important. Yet it must not be so vital that no one can change his attitude toward it once he has formed an opinion; oth erwise, one party or the otner will be playing a losing game from the start and all the energy devoted to the ill ehosen issne will be wasted. If is this phase of political soeio* logy that has been most interesting. ly developed in the United States daring the past generation. Each time a presidential election comes around there is less absolute certain* ty of the result unless questions in volved are so one sided that there is no hope of general support for the other side. While prophets of evil foretell the ultimate failure of Republican government, even under the best cond’tions, the people oft this repub, lie are t teadiiy behaving themselves is a way that makes for its per* manent success. No other nation has in s© short a time developed discriminating intelligence among its people as broadly *as has this one. It is only the ignorant who can be misled by demagogues for any length ot time. Discriminating citizens are always ready to change their opinions if convincing argu* me-’ts can he "advanced, and, as Professor Ward shows, these are the people who really carry our elections nowadays. President Cleveland though a Democratic nominee was elected by Republican votes; and that the tremendous ma jorities of McKinley and of Roose* velt were swelled by many Demo cratic votes everybody knows. The campaign issues and not party principles decided these elections. This does not mean that party lines are breaking up. It means rather that the people raise their own issuef and settle them in their own way. Originally, as the Fed eral party—that is the party whioh would keep supreme in all things the powers of the national govern ment—Republicans were naturally opposed to innovations, while the Democ) ats standing for individual rights, sought t© turn the scheme of government in new directions. The issues which led to the Civil War changed this, however, and for more than a quarter ot a century the Re* pnbxican party stood for initiative action and the Democrats for con - servatism. Now the issues arising lrom the complicated relations of capital and labor in the modern in* dustnal scheme are turning the wheels once more, and the Demo cracy is becoming the aggressive fac ion.

What The Kidneys Do I heir Unceasing Work Keeps Us Strong and Healthy All the blood in the body passes through the kidneys once every three minutes. The kidneys filter the blood. They worK night and day. When healthy they removed ibout 590 grains of impure matter daily, when unhealthy some part of this impure matter is left on the blood. This bring on many diseases and symptom.— pain the back, headaches, nerv ousness, hot, dry skin, rheuma tism, gout, gravel, disorders of the eyesight and hearing, dizziness, dropsy, deposits in the urine, etc, But if you keep the filters right you will eeve no trouble with your kidneys. J. E. Y, Jester, living at 543 Cal houn street, Bambridge, Ga., says : “1 suffered more or less from kid ney for several years, caused,! think, by the excess of uric acid in my system. At times 1 was very weak, and was subject to nervous spells. My kidneys at times seemed clogged. 1 wts fin ally told of Doan’s Kidney Pills and procured a box at Willis Drug Company. Since using them I am feeling a great deal better. I am much stronger and my Kidneys act more regularly. I give Doan’s Kidney Pills the credit for the change in my condition, and do trot hesitate to recommend them to others.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.
