Larry Gantt, the brilliant editor of the Athens Banner, the man who has made such a persistent tight for the alliance, who fought Gordon with all his might, because lie opposed the sub treasury scheme, warns the order in a ringing editorial against cutting loose from the democratic party and going into the third party movement. We mike room for a few salient points made by Mr. Gantt. He says: The farmers of all our Southern States are in an overwhelming ma jority, and there is no necessity for their going beyond the pale of their party. Besides, the Alliaucc and the Democracy are striving for the same ends—the relief and protection of the masses against class legislation and the oppressive power of combined capital. If the Democratic party succeeds, the farmers will have all of their wrongs righted. Our hard worked legislators will have a rest to-day. Chief Engineer R. W. Catlal has been instructed to at once make the final survey of the Florida Ship Ca nal from St. Augustine to the With- lacoochee river and tlienco down said river to the Gulf. _ “A two-ccut stamp, please,” she said to the druggists. “Five cents,” was the reply, as he tore one from the sheit. "Five cents!” "Yes’m. The McKinley Bill—” “Oh yes ! I under stand.”—New Yoik Sun. The absence of money is the root of evil. To get money men do evil. Poverty tends to crime. From the famished womb of a nation’s sickly in fant springs its thief, miser, glutton and usurer.—Stephen Maybell. Poor, the railroad statistician, esti mates that half the capital of the rail roads of this country is fictitious. The amount is 84,840,471,123.50. Upon this vast sum the people are made to pay interest. It is a notori ous fact that much of this is fictitious. Slocks have been watered and water ed, until the actual cost of railways has been lost sight of. Words of Wisdom. Under the head of “Law and Li* quor* the Constitution has a well timed editorial on the liquor legislation pending in the legislature. It should not be lost on the agitators of imprac ticable schemes for forcibly reforming mankind. Mankind is not reformed that way. And it never will be. The Constitution says: “It is unfortunate that so many of our people have been educated into the belief that men can be made moral by an act of the legislature. “Herc’in Georgia we have all sorts of temperance bills brought before every general assembly. We might pass all/ and it is doubtful whether they would materially reduce the sum total of intemperance. One of the latest schemes is to make drunken ness a state oflense—a misdemeanor. This policy has been tried elsewhere, and abandoned. Sometimes the pen alties have been very extreme. For instance, the Artecs, who were a very superior people, made drunkenness punishable with death. But their old colonels, aud jward politicians, and rich old snoo/.ers continued to booze along as usual, aud the law bad to be repeated. The old Romans, too, lmd a law making it death for a woman to become intoxicated, but the ladies of that day made up their minds to en joy their tipple on the sky, and finally the custom became so general that it was impossible to enforce the law. “After all, public opinion rules in the matter of morals. We need tem* perancc reforms, hut their mission is not one of force—it is of moral suasion. Father Matthaw, John B. Gough and Dabney P. Jones did more for temperance thau any statute could have done. Francis Murphey is doing more to-day for genuine tem perance reform than any prohibition ist is doing. "Education, moral suasion, human sympathy and heart work will in the near future make the Americans the most temperate people on the globe. But the rclorm must be conducted by apostles of sweetness and light, and not by mistaken agitators, who would arm themselves with the penal terrors of the law. You cannot reform a man by clubbing his head; you mutt do it by touching his heart!” The day the Southern Alliancemen cut themselves aloof from the Demo cratic party, that day their political doom is sealed. Let the Alliance of the Eastern aud Western States ig nore party lines if they so desire—for they have uot that sword ofDeraocles, in the form of negro voters, hanging over their heads—but it will never do for the white people of the South to divide. * * * * * The Alliance, like every other or ganization, has ambitious and unscru pulous men in its ranks. These would doubtless delight to see old party lines broken, with a hope of coming to the front themselves, and reaping the spoils of office. But the Southern delegates must repudiate all such movements, and oppose any division between the Alliance and the Democracy. It would be a fatal step—destroying the power of the Alliance and imperiling the success of the only party that stands between the white people of the South and ne gro supremacy. We were Democrats long before the Alliance was even thought of. To this party we owe our first allegi ance. The hour the Alliance cuts itself aloof from the organized Demo cracy, we must—with sorrow and re gret—cease to become its champion, and give whatever talent and influ ence we may possess to battling for the party of our race and of our sec tion.” These are brave, rannly words, and they will find an echo in a million hearts. The Alliancemen of Georgia will not be led out of the Democratic party. Should any member attempt it, they would find themselves in a hopeless minority. -•••••»— - — To Meet in Savannah. The place of meeting of the spring session of the State Agricultural Soci ety has been changed from Ellaville, Schley county, to Savannah. At the fall meeting of the society at LaGrange, last August, the only invi tation extended the society for its next convention was from the enterprising young city of Ellaville. The invitation was promptly accepted, and the people of Ellaville confidently expected to have the agriculturists with them on the second Wednesday in Feb., 1891, the date of the next meeting. It was found by the association authorities,however, that the accommodation at Ellaville would probably prove too limited for the crowds that attend the regular ses sions of the society, and, although the big-hearted hospitality of the people ol Ellaville was fully appreciated, it was decided to seek another and lar ger town for a meeting place. At the S ate Fair, Dr. H. H. Carey, of I.aGrange, Dr. S. Hape of Ilape- ville and Maj. A. F. Wooley ol Kings ton were appointed a committee with power to act in the matter. The com mittee selected .Savannah as the next meeting place. Dr. Carey passed through the city yesterday from Savan nah, where he lud been to make some preliminary arrangements for the meeting next February. The transactions of the fall meeting of the agricultural society, officially compiled by Secretary R. W. Jemison, are now in the hands of the secretary.
