The democracy of Georgia should
keep their ranks unbroken.

Martin Irons, the once great labor
dictator, now sells peanuts in a St.
Louis depot.
Atlanta is howling for more water,
xiiid better water. A year or two ago
I hey were crying: more beer.
Politicians, the old stagers, arc try
ing to take observations. They arc
at sea without compass or rudder.
Valdosta merchants are fighting
tho S. F. & W. Ry. They refuse to
take goods out of the depot, shipped
over that line.
A scheme is on foot in Americas to
run an electric car line from that city
to the Audersouville national cemete
ry, a distance of twelve miles.
Charley Pendleton, in the last issue
of the Valdosta Times, lias an able
editorial on the unity of the democra
tic party. Mr. Pendleton is an able
writer.
George D. McCreary, in speaking
of the report that he had purchased a
newspaper, declared: “1 have some
money and some sense, nnd I would
like to keep both.”
It is a signifieat fact that a number
of western states are eudorsiug Blaine's
reciprocity views. Keep your eye on
Blaine, in 1892.
The South stauds ready to aid in
the erection of n monument to Gen
Grant. The memory of the man, who
rose high enough above party and
section, to say: ‘‘Let us have peace,”
is revered in this southland.
The President has signed the bill
for the purchase of the battle field ot
Chicamauga and its conversion into
a national park. This insures the
holding ot a fraternal reunion of the
blue and the gray every year on the
scene of one ot the bloodiest conflicts
of the civil war,—Ex.
\ How would it do to execute each
condemned murderer after the nanner
adopted by him to despatch his vic
tim ? Poison for the poisoner, bullets
for the shooters, a stiletto for the
slabbers, and so on to the end
ol the catalogue. If there is any de
terrent to mitigate the cruelty of
murders.—New York World.
United State Marshal Buck is quoted
as boasting that he will have "six nig
gers and ten white Independents” in
the next General Assembly.
Buck may run the federal machine
in Georgia, but he will not run the
legislature. The democrats have a
t corner on this last jeb.

The Constitutional Convention of
Mississippi, now in session, at Jack-
son, is seriously considering the advis
ability of adopting woman suffrage,
with a property and educational qual
ification. It is claimed that this
would insure the supremacy of the
white race, in that state.
The blundering telegraph operator
deserves a place alongside the "intelli
gent compositor.” A man in Denver
got married the other day, and a tele
gram was sent out to the effect that
the bride was “a handsome Colorado
woman.” Tho friends of tho bride
groom were startled to read next
morning that ho had married “a col
ored woman.”—News.
The author of "Little Annie Roo
ney" has inflicted another song on an
unsuspecting public entitled, "I Whis-
• )0**nd Waft for Katie.” If Katie is
os long in coming as Annie Rooney is
in getting married and withdrawing
irom the public stage, wc are in for a
long wait.—News.
It was Stated some time ago that the
author of "Little Annie Rooney” was
in bad health. A great many people
have been anxiously looking for nows
The Corn Crop.
Anything hearing on the cereal
products of the country, is read with
interest by tlio agricultural classes.
Bread is the “staff ot life," aud, con
sequently, the corn crop is always
watched with interest. \Vc take the
following from the Macon Telegraph :
‘•Official reports from the West in
dicate that the corn crop this year
will show a great falling oil from the
enormous yield of last year. The
outlook now is that there will he a
shrinkage of about 050,000,000 or
over 2(1 per cent. The amount of corn
required lor home consumption is said
to he 2,000,000,000 bushels, and the
total crop this year will not reach
those figures, if we may rely on the re
ports from the seven or eight Western
states which produce the hulk ol our
corn crop. The Cincinnati Price Cur
rent says:
‘•A careful survey of available infor
mation seems to justify tho view that
there is little ground tor hope for pro •
ductiou exceeding 1,000,00(3,000 bush
els lor the entire country, or about 73
per cent of a full yield—the Eeven
surplus states appearing to suggest a
reduction of about 390,000,0U0, and
other states 1'.25,000,000, compared
with last year. In verification ot the
approximate accuracy of this reduc
tion, it may be said that it strikingly
corresponds with the official estimnteot
the government, which makes the
-Condition 73.3 per cent, ot the full
crop—indicating about 20A bushels
average yield, which applied to 78,—
000,000 acres, suggests 1,000,000,000
bushels as the present indicated status
of the crop. It is not likely this total
will he exceeded, and the crop will
probably not fall essentially short of
this.”
Sticking to Jute-
The Southern Farmers’ Alliance in
its last issue said: “The news comes
to us that in some few instances alli-
nneemen in their suh-alliauccs have
ordered jute bagging. Though (join
ing by reliablo men wc hate very
much to believe that nuy lodge of al-
linncemen will buy jute. Our state
exchange is shipping daily thousands
of yards of cotton bagging to all parts
of the state. It lias contracts for
about a million yards more than it
has orders for, and men who in the
face of this fact will order jute bag
ging arc doing very wrong.”
The State Alliance has passed reso
lutions to erect cotton bagging facto
ries. In view of the fact that cotton
bagging costs more, and is much light
er, would it not he a good idea for
the alliance to grow jute—it can he
successfully grown anywhere in the
South—aud erect tlicir own jute bag
ging factories, instead of cotton bag
ging factories? The subject is worthy
of the careful consideration of the or
der.
Stand Together.
The Augusta Chronicle depreciates
the independent revolt in the Seventh
and Ninth districts and says:
"This is not a good year to talk
about splits or bolts in Georgia. We
must go before the country with united
ranks, and wherever they may be week
places in the lines they must be
protected with redoubled effort, hit
Democrats protect their nominees.
It party methods or party machinery
need amending they can be best
amended by Democrats and within
Democratic fold."
There is not a better exponent of
genuine democracy in Georgia than
the Chronicle.
How the figures Stand-
The United States now stands
second among civilized countries with
respect to population, as this table
shows:

Gordon bounds an Alarm.
The Enqu : rer Sun, Columbus, in
noticing Governor Gordon’s speech
belore the members of the Stale Al
liance, says:
He sounded a clarion note of warn
ing to the Alliance which should go
home to the minds : nd hearts of that
great organization. The Governor
warned them against the policy of
driving off their friends who could not
meet the exact requirements of the
yardstick. The farmers will need
every help in tliei. siruggle for eman
cipation from the evils that oppress
them, and it will be a mistake to de
mand that every ivillin ; ally must con
form in each specific particular to the
yardstick. The Democratic party is
the Iricnd and the hope of the farmer.
Democrats may differ as to some of
the remedies proposed, hut they ate
m lull accord as to the general aim
and purpose of this great movement.
Has Georgia no Leader? She Has!
Governor Gordon has cut the
gordian knot and planted himself
squarely against the sub treasury bill.
It was a bold, brave declaration, and
has taken the state by storm. It is
just what wc expected of Governor
Gordon. Such a declaration comes
with good grace from a man like Geor
gia’s governor, who has a stronger
personal following than any man in
Georgia, and who can afford to stand
upon the right and force public clamor
and class prejudice.
Governor Gordon has condemned
the sub treasury system in no uncer
tain sound. He selected the occasion
of the gathering of the State Alliance
in Atlanta, and, in the fierce light
which beat upon his high office and
upon bis candidacy lor the Senate, he
declared that he could no‘ subscribe
for the sub treasury scheme “even it it
cost him forty elections "—Augusta
Chronicle.
Websters’ Warning.
It is very easy to imagine what the
position of Daniel Webster toward the
force bill would be if he were a mem
ber of the Senate now. Webster has
left himsell on record in reference to
measures of this class. These words
of his are as true now as they were
when they were uttered, and much
more opportune. "A military repub
lic, a government founded on mock
elections and supported only by the
sword, is a movement indeed, but a
retrogade and disastrous movement
from the regular and old-fashioned
monarchical system. Absurd, pre
posterous it is, scoff and a saV.re on
free forms of constitutional liber.y for
frames of government to be prescribed
by military leaders, and the right of
suffrage to he exercised at the point
of the sword.”—Ex.
The Alliance Bill.
Washington, Aug. ar.—The bil
introduced to-day by Senator lllair,
upon the request ol the Farmers’ Al-
liance, provides tor banks tor the
reception of mortgages on real estate.
The deposits of first mortgages on
real property must be made by such
banks with the treaturer of the United
States, who shall issue to the banks
United States treasury notes of differ
ent denominations to the amount of
the mortgages deposited.
Two Hundred Indictments.
Cincinnati, O., Aug. 22.—A Haz
ard, Ky., special reports that Judge
Lilly’s court, held in a tent guarded
by soldiers, has resulted iu 200 indict
ments already, many of them for
murder and kindred acts of violence,
and the sheriff, with a military jiosse,
is making arrests in the mouutain*.
Florida’s Orange Crop.
The orange groves of the State are
generally in a very satisfactory condi
tion although the effects of the freeze in
March last are apparent in many sec
tions. The injur/ was distributed
very unevenly, sonic groves showing
no damage whatever, while in others
the crop will be cut down ov;r 50 per
cent. New grove:, however, are con
stantly coming into bearing and the
aggregate yield in money from the
orange crop of 1890 91 will doubtless
be far in excess of that of the past
season, if the trait is not sacrificed in
the marketing.
Crop Failure.
Denver, Col., Aug. 22,—The 500
or 800 people who live in eastern Ara-
pahoj county, Colorado, near the Kan
sas line, are in a state bordering on star
vation. The crops are an absolute
failure.

ernor and comptroller general to-day

rate is throe mills aud ninety-sixth
