State election next Wednesday.
And Georgia will be found in the
solid democratic party.
Thcro is a general howl against the
census. Half the towus swear they
have been swindled by Porter’s pets.
Georgia, and the South, have been,
as n rule, free from isms; hut an ism
has struck Georgia at last; it is Me-
Cuneism.
The republican office holders in
Savannah arc being bled to get up a
campaign fund. This is in direct con
flict with the civil service rules.
Straugo things arc happening in
politics this year. Tho republicans
of South Carolina arc going to nomi
nate a straight out democratic ticket.
It is said tho Louisiana lottery will
now use tho express for the transmis
sion of money. Well, they can’t ad
vertise in the papers; there’s some
comfort in that fact.
Republican papers are trying to kill
Mr. Cleveland. The latest report is
that he is going into a rapid decline.
Mr. Cleveland, in an interview, says
he is in the best of health.
And so Mr. McCune is going to
stay in Georgia to help beat Gordon.
He has underlaken a big job. The
democrats ot this state will have some
thing to say about this.
Although volleys have been fired at
esteemed cotemporaries who are on
the fence in the Gordon fight, these
same esteemed cotcmporarics maintain
tbeir equilibrium on the top rail.
Gordon In tho Wire Grass.
General Gordon spoke to an im
mense audience at Helena, in Telfair
county, on Friday. A report of tho
meeting, giving an outline of Gordon’s
speech,says:
•'Gen. Gordon did not think the
sub treasury bill would pass. He
wauted the farmers to have their own
warehouses and be independent of the
government, and yet secure. He said
that Georgia was the only remaining
state that insisted on the sub-treasury
as a test of loyalty to the allianco
principles. The Virginia, North Car
olina and Texas alliances had aban
doned that position, nnd even Mis
souri, in which it was horn, had adopt
ed a different platform. Why, then,
should Georgia allianecmen insist on
it as a test of loyalty? He said we
could never expect to carry any point
divided, ami Col. L. L. Polk, presi
dent of the national alliance had said
that the sub treasury bill would never
pass, but it was a good thing to rally
the people. At the conclusion of the
governor's address the band struck up
‘Dixie,’ and the people crowded
around the old chieftain and anxiously
grasped his hand. This section is solid
for Gen. Gordon.
An Editor’s Pass.
Col. William Addison Kno.vles,
one of our best known Georgia edi
tors, taxes a sensible view of the free
pass system. Hear lum:
“One of the beauties and charms ot
an editor’s life is his dead-heading it
on all occasions.
“No one v;ho has ever feasted on
the sweets of that bliss can begin to
take in the glory of its happiness.
He docs $ioo worth of advertising for
a railroad, and gets a ‘pass’ for a year,
rides $25 worth, and then he is looked
upon as a dead-head, or a hall-blown
deadbeat.
tic puffs a concert troupe $io
worth and gets Si in cornplimcntaries,
and thus passes free. If the hall is
crowded he is begrudged the room he
occupies, for if his cornplimcntaries
were paying tickets the troupe would
be so much in pocket.
“He blows and puffs a church festi
val free to any desired extent, and
does the poster printing at half rates,
and rarely gets a thank you for it. It
goes as part of his duty as an editor.
“He does more work gratiutously
lor the town and community than all
the rest ot the population put together,
and gets cursed for it all, while in
many instances where a man who do
nates a few dollars to a tourth of July
celebration or baseball club is grate
fully remembered. Oh, it is a sweet
thing to be an editor! He passes
“Iree,’' you know.”
The republican postmaster of the
house of representative?, has been
caught pocketing $150 per month out
of the contract for delivering the mail of
that body at the capital. He promptly
disgorged, but it will hardly save him.
A pension was granted on Tuesday
to Wm. R. Johnson, of Indiana, a
Union soldier, who injured his leg iu
crossing a river on a log, while he was
on his way to church, during the war,
The secretary decided that he was in
the “line of duty” while going to
church.—Ex.
Tho colored people of Georgia nre
prosperous and happy; they are pro
teefed iu all their rights. The white
people of the state encourage them in
their efforts to better tiicir condition.
Colored'*tnecbauics, while they are
boycotted at the north, are given a
better chance in Georgia; they work
with white mechanics, nnd receive the
same pay. Aud Georgia is demo
cratic.

What is Needed.
Our approaching legislature must
improve tho common school system.
The state can afford public schools
for at least five mouths in the year
and they should be thoroughly con
ducted and well managed. These
schools should be kept open from the
first of October to the first of March
or May. The children, most of them
at least, have to assist in making nnd
gathering the crops. This arrange
ment will leave them at home just
when the crops need hoeing and dur
ing the busy cotton picking season,
and the winter months arc the best
months lor study. Foster and im
prove our common schools.—Camilla
Clarion.
The increase of property owned hy
colored people in Georgia is very grat
ifying. Tho total this year iu the state
is •12,322,003.
Lest year it was 9)0,415,330.
Prudish.
Certain members of the Brooklyn
Board of Education have inaugurated
a crusade agaiuet Longfellow's beauti
ful pcctn, tho “Building of the Ship.”
These fearfully sensitive ereaturcs
have discovered that the lines which
everybody else considers pure aud
lovely are iu fact very naughty and
dangerously suggestive. Therefore
they want them expunged from all
readers used in the Brooklyn public
schools. The next move of these pru
dish idiots will probably bo to (tut
pantalettes on the legs of all the desks
iu the schools.—Telegraph.
The Camilla C'lariou says -.
“The nllianccs of Mitchell, Dough
erty and Brooks counties have not re
solved themselves into secret political
leagues and Dr. Felton’s thunder
against the new politics doesn’t strike
them. They are farmers and belong
to a society ol farmer*. In politics
they arc Jackson democrats."
