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. CEO.

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." SATISFACTION GUAItANTKED. WILL NOl HE UNDERSOLD. NO TROUBLE TO SHOW GOODS, BUT A PLEASURE TO DO SO.
