JOHN TBlPy.ETT.Bna. Plan. Cannon ought to be spiked. Live while you can, die when you roust. The man or men who would lend themselves to any scheme which would disintegrate the democratic party at the South is an enemy of his race if he is a white man. Isn’t it about time that the “big dailies” were speaking out on the sen atorial question? Show your hands, gentlemen. The country press does not show much timidity in the mat ter. A Washington baker announces that he is going to form a Bakers’ Al liance to demand a sub-treasury with power to issue currency based upon pumpkin pies. The colored people of Ohio have called a convention at Springfield, August 26th, at which they propose to declare their independence of the Re publican party an 1 to declare that they no longer owe allegiance to that or ganization. The largest check ever drawn in a single business transaction was recent ly made by the Great Indian Peninsu*. la Co., on the London and County Bank, of England, for $6,500,000 leav ing the famous Vanderbilt check for $3,500,000 in the shade. It took five bushels of corn to get into a circus in Kansas last summer.

Edmunds has introduced a resolu tion in the Senate to take a recess from the 19th of September until the 10th of November. This is in the in terest of the infamous force bill. The democrats will set up with this resolu tion. When Genet al Muhone was wound ed at second Manassas some, one, to comfort Mrs. Malionc, said: “Oh, don’t be uneasy; its only a flesh wound.” Mrs. Mabone, through her tears, cried out: “Oh, I know that is impossible; there is not flesh enough on him for that.” The bright little town of Quincy, Florida, is developing into quite a manufacturing place. Among others there engaged in manufacturing, is Mr. C. S. Dupont. He is manufac turing cigars, and turns out brands equal to the imported article. His “Fumador,” and "Old Leaves,” brands are very fine, as samples show. Quincy and other southern towns cn gaged in manufacturing should he encouraged by home patronage. At the first Baptist church in Wash ington, Sunday, Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, of Atiaota, condemned the practice of the government employing chaplains for the two houses of Congress and in the army and navy. He maintained that it was not the duty of the govern ment to employ men in no such capac ity. “Let the members cf congress,’’ he said, “take the money from their own pockets to support the man whutn they choose to lead the morn ing devotions, and let the officers and privates of the army do the same." Items from the Augusta Chronicle; The Seventh Senatorial district has a candidate, a strong one, too, in the field for president of t'uc Senate. He is the Hon. Robert G. Mitchell, of Thomas county. One hundred and twenty-seven members of the next Georgia Legisla ture ore already committed to Gordon for the Senate, it is said, and I10 will get tlieVc in a whirlwind. Congressman Mu seems to he Stronger in Texas than Dr. McCunc. The convention which renominated him condemned any system “which converts the government into a loan and brokerage agency.” A Bold Challenge Boldly Met. John B. Gordon is not the man to decline a challenge. It has been charged that it was a gratuitous action on ms part, when ho told the mem bers of the state alliance 1 that he could not support the sub-treasury plan. Gordon, then and there, simply ac cepted the guage of battle. The Augusta Chronicle gives the true inwardness of the bold declaration of Governor Gordon. It says: “On August 11th the editor of the Athens Banner, who hadjust returned from the Democratic State convention in Atlanta and who claimed to have conversed with leading Alliancetncn from different parts of the State, as serted in his paper that ‘unless Gor don comes out flat-footed for the sub-treasury'bill, he will certainly have opposition for the United States Senate.’ “The Athens Banner served upon Gen. Gordon this significant notice: "Governor Gordon was a brave sol dier, and is one of the most universally popular men in Georgia: but these facts will not weigh a feather with the Alliance if he opposes theouly bill on which their future prosperity, happi ness and independence depends. The farmers of South Carolina refused to listen to Hampton when he went with their enemies, and the Alliance of Georgia will repudiate even Gordon if he will not pledge himself to sup port the sub-treasury bill. They will not be deceived by flattery and hon eyed words. They demand of the man they will support for the United States Senate a free, frank and public committal on the sub-treasury bill. "Here, then, was a formal demand from the Alliance upon Gen. Gordon to “put up or shut up.” With this ultimatum ringing in his ears Gen. Gordon did not hesitate. He went before the Alliance in its annual con vention in Atlanta and there boldly proclaimed to its leaders, its lodges and the whole state that he ‘could not endorse the sub-treasury bill even if it cost him forty elections.’ The state rang with applause. The challenge had been issued from the Alliance, not from. Gen. Gordon,” An Allianceman Talks. Mr. Hanlon, of the Pres3, Quit- man, is an original, devoted alliance- man. He has worked ns hard for the order as any man in it. He gives, in the last issue of the Press, some advice to bis brethren. Here is what he says: Col. Polk says “we don't jyant it (the third party), but there may bp no help lor it.” There will bo “no help for it,” so far as the South and the Democratic party is concerned. The dictum of tho alliance lenders— "swallow the sub-treasury bill or we’Jl torn* a third parly”—will have, no terrors for men who liavc starched in solid phalanx tinder the Democrat ic banner for over a quarter of a cen tury and aim know that this solid, invincible front cannot be broken without plunging their fair gnd teem ing land into a condition tho mere thought of which causes the stoutest heart to grow siek with dire forebod ings. Two years ago our then president, Mr. Jackson, was deposed front J.'is high office because he made an effort to use the alliance of his home county to indorse him for congress. The or ganization was then free from dema gogues and firm in its determination to stay within the bounds of alliance purposes. How great the change since then! The president of the na tional alliance now actually threatens the overthrow of both parties if the sub-treasury scheme is not made op erative by law! The "something bet is a shame, .as is shown by the fact that tho “leaders 7 tgyn up their noses at the plans for the relief of the masses which the Democratic party is striving for in congress, and which, if the party is triumphant in ’02, will bring more substantial relief to all classes than a million sub treasury hills. The Press makes the prediction that whenever the alliance begins the march upon the flesh pots of govern ment, as a third party, the end of the existence of the organization will not be far off. “I’m Going Back to Georgia.” We take the following from the Constitution: An interview in The New York Tri bune with A. B. Walker, a negro law yer of St. Johns, New Brunswick, is worthy of comment. Lawyer Walker had heard so many stories ol the south and the condition of the negroes here that he resolved to investigate lor himself. So ue made a visit to the south and spent eight months in studying the race problem. In closing this interview with The New York Tribune reporter he said: “I am going back to Georgia to live. I shall cast my lot with the people of my race.” In commenting on this declaration ot an intelligent negro who has studied the problem which the north cannot understand, our esteemed Washington contemporary, The National Democrat, says: Does anyone suppose lor a moment that a colored man already established in one of the British provinces, and after spending eight months in travel ing thiough the south, studying the condition of his people, would remove his residence to the state of Georgia if one-tenth part of all The Tribune says about the south were true ? Do Rus sian revolutionists or Polish patriots, who have acquired residences in Eng land or America, spend eight months traveling in Siberia and studying the lot of their compatriots and then go to Siberia to live ? The Tribune has in advertently published the evidences of its own mendacity. In this interview with The Tribune Attorney Walker said: I went south eight months ago for the express purpose of finding out, if I could, the true condition of the race problem. I believe that the people of the south should be left alone and held responsible for the development of the negro race. I believe that the people of the south are better adapted to deal with it, than the people of the north. * * * It is to the white people ol the south aud the civilization of the south that we must look for the redemption of the negro race. I am going to Georgia to live. I shall cast my lot with the people of my raep. I will sacrifice forever the im munities Iroqt paste discrimination which I have heretofore enjoyed, in the firm confidence that far on in sum mers that I shall not see the negro race in the south shall have worked out its salvation, and I believe that the greatest help that they will receive in this direction will be from the white people of the south. ^ m Beat*Hi|jj. The TimesUnion, Jacksonville*, GORDON HERO OT THE DAY. 4 Allianceme.t From Seven Counties 1 . Eatonton, 6a., ‘Aug. 29.—G&V. Gordon spoko to several thousand al> Iianceraen three miles from here to day. They came from Morgan, Greene, Hancock, Jones, Jasper, Baldwin and Putnam counties, and they received the old hero with open arms, even if they were alliancemen and he was known to be opposed to the sub-treasury plan. Gen. Gordon, after being introduced by Henry De- jarnett in a very eloquent speech, be gan by saying: “I am assured by your applause that you neither mis judge me nor fail to appreciate my re lations to your patriotic cause. I come to you, therefore, not like Paul before the high court of King Agrip* f a, to answer for the things whereof am accused, but like Paul on his mission to his brethren at Corinth.” He took up his record for the last seventeen years, following his predic tions about the organization of the farmers. He then showed that every esscutial principle of the alliance had been advocated by him long before the alliance was in existence. He analyzed the danger of introdu cing into the democratic brotherhood tests of loyalty not to he found in the democratic platform. He maintained that the unity of the democratic party was essential to the supremacy of the white race in the south, and the su premacy of the white race was essen tial to the best interests of both races. As soon as the speech was conclud ed the following resolutions were adopted: Recognizing in Gov. J. B. Gordon a patriotic statesman and citizen, who, under all circumstopegs, Whether up on the battlefield, in the gubernatorial chair, or ths walks oi private life, has shown himself devoted to the interests of his people; therefore, be it 1. Resolved, That we, the people of Putnam county, do most heartily re iterate our confidence in him. 2. Resolved, That it is our desire that he shall be returned to the Sen ate of the United States. Dublin, Ang. 29 —Alarming re ports on the potato crop continue to he received. In Wex.ord, Kilkenny, Carlow and the teacoast districts the crop is an absolute failure. In other districts there will be a partial crop. For Gordon. Gov, Gordon made a speech last week to the alliance farmers in which he boldly took ground against the sub- tieasury scheme. He did right. Ha is known to be pre-eminently a friend of the farmers and his candor at this time is commendatory and salutary. Wc know of not a single true aud tried public roan now iu office who en dorses the sub-treasury. It is only the fellows who arc put and want to get in, who ride this new horse. Of course such men will ride anything which will bring them into office. The people know whom to trust and John B Gordon will he next United States Senator.—Camilla Clarion, . A Deadlock.

The Valdosta Times says : “The democratic faith, pure and simple, is the sheet anchor of our hopes. Let us stand by the party and its principles.” Worthy pf Imitation. Isle ok Shoals, Aug. 26, 1S90 Editor Times-Enterprise: There is one custom at this hotel which I think is worthy of imitation by al) hotels in summer and winterresorts. It is in icgcd to feeing table waiters. Her; no fees lire given liJJ the guest leaves. Then they give the waiter"$g, $5 or $10, depending upon the time remained, and the ability or liberality otthe guest. The waiter serves all alike g.pd does his level best, expect ing a liberal fee syhen the guest leaves. There is nj discrimination between guests. At most ot these large hotels, a rich man will fee the servant liberally every few days, and thus secure the best of service. Another man at the same table, whose pocket book is not so fat, cannot afford such liberality, and he js neglected. Yet he pays the same price for board. This neglect is a gentle reminder that the guest must “shell out” if he should be well and promptly served. The plan at this hotel is far better. While stopping here during the past six weeks, I have talked with a goodly number of wealthy people about Thom- asyille, as a winter resort, and I am confident you will see quite a number of them next winter, Some ot them have already written to Mrs. Bower in quiring about rooms, tjrms, &c. you will see your humble servant among the rest- G.
