Must be nober steady, and understand the business. Savannah is growing very rapidly. Todd and buttermilk beat Venable. Under the McKinley bill cigars havo gone up. The motto now appears to be: Any thing or anybody to beat Gordon. Dr. John Thad Johnson, a promi nent physician, formerly of Atlanta, is dead. Porter, he of the mutilated census, lias taken himself off to Europe. He will thus miss a good deal of hearty Wheat has taken a fall—we mean that. Wheat the house postmasterlhns been bounced. He went McGinty- ward. The average member elect to tho legislature will watch with keen and unabated interest the fluctuations in the peanut market. Aerial navigation has been solved— again. This makes the thirty seventh successful solving of the problem. And it isn’t solved yet. Judge Samuel Lawrence, a promi nent Mason, and a distinguished citi zen of Georgia, died in Marietta this week. A respectable burglar would not attempt to break into the U. S. treas ury now. The republicans have emptied it. Gen. Gordon went to DtKalb coun ty, his old home, to vote. He cast his ballot for the regular nominees who were Alliance candidates.—Ex. Great prepartions are being made for a reunion of the blue and the gray, at Knoxville, Tenn„ on the 7th inst. The old veterans will fight their bat ties over again; jbut fight with less damage to life and limb. The secret woik of instructing sub Alliances to pledge their nominees against Governor Gordon has com menced. We predict it will not de feat him. Alliancemcn in Georgia will not be drivcu like cattle to do the bidding for any central clique or ntar chamber. Farmers of Georgia are Democrats.—Augusta Chronicle. The Alliance Record says: “Our people must not expect too much in the shape of relief by legislation. They must make agriculture a busi ness. Business methods, untiring cucrgy, intelligent labor, intensive farming and varied products must supplant the loose methods at present prevailing.” Truer words were never spoken* Legislation can never do for tho far mer what he can do for himself. Here is the way a Western writer, and a woman at that, looks at a ques tion that is always of interest: “Mar riage may be a failure in a few indi vidual cases, where, for instance, a man swears everything black and blue ou account of a piece of beefsteak or a cup of coffee; or where a woman opens her mouth and in the short space of ten seconds makes a man’s life n howling wilderness or sandy desert because Bhc can’t have everything she wants and have it right away. But marriage as a system is a nickel plat ed, anti-monopoly, everlasting sue- MACUNE’S YARDSTICK SHOULD NOT MEASURE GEORGIA- An Allianceman Calls A Halt—A Letter to His Brethren— Stick to the Original Grand Purpose. In a calm and able letter to his broth er Allianccmen, Mr. Thomas J. Liv ingston makes a fervent protest against Macuneism in Georgia. Mr. Livings ton presents sound democratic views that prove him worthy of the “Thom as Jefferson” part of his name. The letter first appeared in the Quitman Press. It should be read by every allianceman in Georgia. Key, BRooks Countv, Sept 12,1890. To My Brother Allianccmen : You will please allow one of your humble members to give u'lcrancc to his feelings. I have been an Alliance- men from its infancy and am now. I think the declaration of purposes both grand and noble, and if carried ou’, would be a blessing to the human family. That means all the people, not a class. If you will review the first two years of the Alliance in Georgia, you will have to admit that it has been OF GREAT BENEFIT TO TIIE FARMERS. They have informed themselves as to the necessities of the times. They can buy more goods for the same mon ey than ever before, and the rising gen eration will be better fitted for social employments; but for the last six months I fear we have gotten off the track. While 1 think it right to mix Alliance with our politics, yet I think it wrong to mix politics in our Alii- ance. If you are obliged to drink whiskey, mix a great deal of water with it; but if you drink water, mix no whiskey with it, i.et's call a halt and see where we are drifting. When in comes to nomimting candidates to serve all the people, I am opposed to closed doors and 1 am opposed to dis franchising some of the best citizens in the country on account of their profes sions. For instance, say to the city preachers, lawyers, doctors, merchants and editors, according to the yardstick vou are not eligible to office. NO VARD STICK WANTED- The Alliance that initiated me had no such yard stick, and we have none where 1 am a member now. Yon must admit that in the above named pro fessions a large majority pf them are as good people as we are. I ask you, in all .c.andor, how can you say to them, “You are not ^ligifole to office,” and ask them to help elect yoM Pffice- and by this act pul seme of our good people and some of our greatest statesman on an equality, politically, with the most ignorant coyn$ekJ negro. The northern people keep strife in the cruntry because we will not put negro in office to rule us, and now we say to some of our best and wisest men. “You are on a par wit-i the negro.” ALL MEN AEE USEFUL—EVEN EDITORS. If you were to be tried for your life you would want a lawyer to defend you. If you were sick you would want a physician. If you were dying vou would want the minister to pray for you. If you should die your widow would ask the merchants to sell her a ■hroud, and perhaps on credit; and the editor would be asked to publish, free of charge, a long obituary, set ting forth your good traits and omit ting the bad ones. And still you say to them, “Depart! We can’t trust you in office.” Are we not here to help each other? Can the eye say to the foot or hand, “ Wc have no need of thee.” Are we not members of this great body? Should we not all work together ? God has get the members together as it has pleased him. So let us pull together. HOW ABOUT GENERAL GORDON. This course of procedure brings us to consider the ease of one of the greatest warriors, grandest statesmen and purest men-shall I say jn Geargia ? No but in the world—Governor Gor don. He is a candidate .for the United States senate. Now, to my brethern in the legislature: We are told that Governor Gordon is to have the yard stick applied to him by some politician, for I ho’d that the Alliance in purity has no such yard stick, and if it had it would not apply it to such men as Gov, Gordon; this yard stick will FOKEES . 175 Broad Street, Masury Hotel Building.

WALL :-:PAPBR GASH tepii-dawiy do for some men to ride into office on, but please tell me, WERE ANV OF VOU MEASURED BY THIS VARD STICK when you joined the Alliance, or did they tell you that the obligations would not conflict with your political or re ligious views ? Even now, after all the fuss about the sub-treasury bill, if it was a test of .membership do you be lieve that one-half of the members of the Alliance could get in ? I do not. The men who framed the bill are not satisfied with it, for they always say they want something better. And so do I, and I think John B. Gordon is the best man to GIVE US SOMETHING BETTER. I ake the bold ground that Gordon is an Allianceman, except that he has not swallowed a yard slick, and can prove it by a longer experience than any man in the order. Read his act in congress and read our declaration of purposes, and then tell me why you can’t trust him ? You had just as well say that no tnan can be a Christian without uniting with the church, and I know you will not say that. No, gentle men, wc must not allow the excitement to cause us to do wrong and break up the Alliance or any other good thing, GOVERNOR CORDON HAS BEEN TRIED, Not with the yard stick, but with bay. onets and minnie balls, and alter ihe war he was in the senate where money would have been piled up by the bush- pi if he could have been bribed or bought, ffe has been tried and not found wanting. We ought to foe proud and thankful that we have such a man jybo is willing to serve us at this criti cal time. I papnot think for a mo ment that you will defeat him, I think even an Alliance candidate to oppose foim will be of grtat injury; but if he were .de/e$te4 J think it will be a death blow to the AHianpe in Georgia.
