DEMAND FOR REFORM.
The existence of the American
! party, which, in its chief feature, is a
. revival of Knownothingism in its oppo-
i sit ion to foreign immigration, calls at-
\ tontion to a very serious ami growing
,il in the matter of immigration.

i great majority of those landing at
Castle Garden arc cither paupers or
convicts, often sent over by immigtar
tion societies or brought' over as con
tract labor.
A nun without some means adds
but little to the prosperity of any
country, it is capital as much as men
that our country needs. But the
most startling feature of the immigra
tion of today is the vast number of
foreign-born criminals in our prisons.
Statistics show that while only one
sixth of our population is foreign-born,
yet the proportion of foreign-born and
native born convicts in our prisons
and chain gangs is as two to one.
This shows too plainly that onT land
has been converted from a land of re
fuge for the oppressed into a dumping
ground for the outcasts of foreign
prison cells. Close akin to the con
v : et class arc socialists, anarchists Ac.
It is said that there are two millions
of these combined classes in America.
No wonder that revolutionary ideal

time has coino when measures must
be taken to investigate the characters
and previous histories of those seck-
, royal recep- lk l lome j n our country, „else the
preservation of our National institu
tions, if not our National existence
itself, will be in serious jeopardy.

THE SOUTH AND WEST.
Something should be done to bring
the South and tile West into closer re
lations. Thousands in The West, who
really have no grounds for prejudice
against the South, as many are foreign-
liorn; many others liorn since the war,
have listened so often to bloody shirt
her in- j waivers, such as I’orakcr and Sherman,
< who have been so constant and bitter
| in tbeir attacks on tbe South that
Dcpew they have imbilied many ill-founded
esrrves j, r *.jaelices against the South. In
| some sections of the West the antipa
thy to anything Southern is almost as
bitter as in the hot lied of sectional
ism in New England.
The public men from the two sec
tions are on friendly enough relations,
but their kindly feeling does not ex
tend to the great mass of the people.
They think the South is still only
semi-civilized. If they could be edu
cated to know the truestatusof affairs
in our section and be taught to think
that their interests are identical with
ours there is no estimating the num
ber of electoral votes Cleveland would
;et in the West. Everything possi
ONE OF MCKINLEY’S ARGUMENTS-
The Courier-Journal thus easily
and effectually disposes of one of
Major McKinley’s arguments at the
Atlanta Chautauqaa:
Mr. McKinley is easily the leader
of the Republicans on the tariff issue,
and we cannot expect to catch him
juggling with the statistics in order
to sustain his arguments. In Geor
gia, arguing against free raw materi
als, he instanced the fact that since
hides were on the free list, the expor
tation of leather had amounted to
but 2 per eont. of the total produc
tion. This, he said, “was an argu
ment that free raw materials would
not give us the markets of the world.”
What are the facts?
In 1872 hides were placed on the
free list,
In 1871 wc imported leather to the
amount of $10,552,155; in 1887 tbe
iris of leather were the same, or
1 exact, $ 10,936,437, but in that
time the imports of hides and skins
and other fur skins increased ’ from
$14,638,463 to $24,225,776.
What did we do with these hides?
In 1871 we exported hides and
skins $2,700,094, and in 1887 only
$765,655, So we did not send out our
raw materials.
JVe manufactured these skins and
exported the manufactured products.
In 1871 our exports of leather and
manufactures of leather were only
$1,897,395, hut with free hides they
have increased to $10,436,138, or 500
per cent.
It shows that while the imports of
leather products were stationary for
sixteen years we were holding the
home market, increasing our exports
oO0 per cent, and furnishing our peo
ple with liettcr and cheaper shoes
than ever before.
Mr. McKinley ought not to follow
Mr. lllaitie " and his perversion of
facts.
The value of free raw material is
indisputable.

General Harrison's first cousin, Dr.
J). W. Harrison, a homeopathic phy
sician of Baton Rouge, La., will to
the Republican candidate for Congress
in the Sixth district of Louisiana,
now represented by S. M. Robertson.
Tile longest session of Congress
was 3(‘3 tiuvs. So tar this session has
consumed 37H days. If it continues to
September 13, which is very likely, the
FilfTeth Congiess will be the longest
session on record in this country.
If returned, Ilou. John I. Davidson
will probably be the president of the
Senate—otherwise the place will lie
between Fleming iluRignon. of Savan
nah. C. B. Woo!ten. of Albany and
Judge John 1. Hall, of Gridin, with
the odds iii favor of the first named.
SHALL CLARKE EXHIBIT?
While writing and talking much
about the surroundingcountieamaking
an exhibit at the Northeast Georgia
Fair little is said aliout our own
county Surely Clarke is not going
to be behind in this matter She
should take the lead and have a full
ami complete exhibit at our fair.
There are a great many good farmers
in Clarke and it would require but a
little co-operative action for them to
make a most attractive display at the
fair. Let our farmers wake up and
help out their fair.
OUR LAW MAKERS-
It is gratifying to note the great
number of distinguished men who will
have seats in the next Senate and
House of Representatives of Georgia.
It is a matter of special interest just
at this time when so many questions
of vital importance to the people will
come up for settlement. Many old
members who have been out of active
politics for a number of years will
again lend the weight of their expe
rience to the deliberations of their old
associates; many who have served for
a number of years will be returned.
Those who have been nominated to
take a seat for the first time are in a
great many instances men of affairs
who will bring to bear upon the discus
sions and legislation of the House well
stored minds and methods of business
which justify the public in having
great anticipations of a session of un
usual results. This is a matter of
pride and interest to every Georgian.
As the most important branch of
our State government the best availa
ble material should be sent to the
Senate and House. It should lie es
teemed a great honor for any man to
be called upon by his fellow-citizens
to fill a post which so vitally concerns
the welfare and prosperity of our
State. With the class of men now
being sent to the legislature it will be
considered a mark of distinction.
May the anticipations of flic public be
more than realized.
strong letter in reply to Major Mc
Kinley’s Chautnnqua speech. In it ]
Sir. Barrow dwells on one of the
greatest evils in the national legislar
tion of the past quarter of a century,
viz: the almost utter disregard paid
the Constitution of the United States.
As Mr. Barrow shows, the dominant
party during that period has
made laws m open viblation
of the Constitution, and in £otel dis
regard to their oaths to support that
Constitution. Some apology for this
violation of oath may he offered in
the statement that a great many who
fill seats in Congress are in dense ig
norance of both the letter and spirit
of our fundamental law.
This ignorance is rather an argu
ment for keeping such members at
home than an apology for a failure to
form any proper conception of their
duty.
This abuse of the Constitution up
on which our government is founded
and on which the hopes of the suc
cess of our Republican form of govern
ment is based, has grown to such pro
portions that the Constitution is ig
nored in deference to some “higher
law” invented for the occasion as b>-t-
ter suited to the schemes and pocket
books of those "to he benefitted by the
iniquitous laws demanded As Mr.
Barrow shows, this '-higher law” has
been invoked in the matter of “protec
tion in utter disregard and in •open
violation of the Constitution. The
letter and spirit of the Constitution is
that all taxes shall bear . uniformly
on all classes of citizens—not rob
one class and protect another.
The hope of the perpetuity and final
triumph of the Democrat ic party is
based on the fact that it draws its life
from the Constitution, the doom of
the Republican party is seen in tile-
fact of its utter contempt for the Con
stitution and its affiliation with and |
“protection” of a favored class that is
wallowing in riches extracted from
the great body of the people. It has
lost the purity of its name and early
founders, and, as personified in its
greotest liviiig representative, James
G. Blaine, has long been the party of
corruption and the protector of the
rich.

General Salomon, the fugitive Pres

debt, foreign and domestic, on which

Tbe Haiti more Sun has tbe follow
ing to say about Georgia Congress
men : “Nine out of ten of the Demo
cratic Congressmen from Georgia have
been renominated for re-election. Tbe
Georgia delegation is not outranked
in inllneiicc by that from any .State in
the Union, and as a consequence its
representatives occupy commanding
positions in debate and on commit
tees. Tbe secret of it is that Georgia
sends able men to Congress and keeps
them there. This is a pointer tojother
States whose representatives exercise
ess influence.”
The license fees which were collec
ted fiom saloons in England and Wales
during the last fiscal year aggregated
$7,7fd,6U5, those for the city of Lon
don amounting to $1,234,535. Con
sidering the enormous exjiense in the
matter of police and pauperism which
the liquor traffic in the latter city en
tails, there are many persons who
tli ink that the community gets hut
little compensation from these fees,
and several of the London newspapers
are now advocating adoption of the
high license system which is in use
in some of our own communities. The
recent attempt, however, to com]»en-
sate publicans whose licenses might
be rejected, which was a feature of the
Knglish Local Government hill, al
though afterward withdrawn, shows
what a factor the liquor interest is in
British local politics, and there is not
much likelihood of the American sys
tem at present meeting with favor in
Kllglaiid.— Philadelphia Record.
Kate Field is coming Hast to de

that the solution ot the temperance

already touched a tender chord in
many a heart hy this simple announce
ment. Joking aside, Miss Field has
the solution to the gordien knot of
intemperanee. There is little or no
objection to light wines or beer. It
is this poisoned and exciting whisky
against which most of the thunder-
holts even of the most ardent prohi
bitionists are hurled.

Interviews with leading grain mer

States before another crop is grown.
< )ne of the obscure rich men of St.
Louis is Oliver A. Hart, who, al
though worth al*out 83,000,000, at
tracts less attention than many $1,-

manners and quiet dress. His for
tune was made from lucky invest
ments in gas and railroad stocks.
UNIVERSITY ENDOWMENTS.
Sneaking to a prominent scholar
in the city recently he remarked, “the
University should have an endow
ment of a million dollars and it could
he had if the proper methods of rais-
ingjit were adopted.” This is the
trouble, the University lacks sufficient
funds to pr.y the professors as they
should he paid and for the necessary
equipment. If her interests were
represented betorc the legislature and
the people of Georgia as they deserve
there would be little doubt of the
realization of the “scholar’s” state
ment.
We feel satisfied that there are
many rich men in Georgia who would
make a liberal donation to the Uni
versity if they were approached.
The matter of securing funds is a
most vital consideration in the selec
tion of a Chancellor. A Chancellor
should be a man who can get dona
tions and who knows how to handle
them after he has them.
MISS RUTHERFORD’S PROTEST.
The following paragraph appeared
in the Athens correspondence of the
Macon Telegraph of the 28th :
“Miss Millie Rutherford, principal
of Lucy Cobb Institute, today ad
dressed a letter to the mayor and
council stating that reports of sick-
neas in Athens were ruining hefr
school, and many parents who hail
entered daughters notify her of their
withdrawal. She asks the council to
take some steps to save the Institute
from serious loss of patronage.”
Dr. J. J. Knott, of Atlanta, treated
one of the young ladies who attended
Lucy Cobh Institute and was sick
with fever after her return to Atlanta,
and lie does not think the attack is
chargeable to malaria in Athens.
When asked al»out the case L>r.
Knott said:
“It was called typhoid fever, but I
could not see symptoms to justify
such a diagnosis. I consider it a
gastric trouble, brought on by the
dissipations of commencement week,
following a year of hard study. Af
ter a year s application to books it is
not surprising that a week of excite
ment, late hours with iced drinks,
sweetmeats, etc., should put the sys
tem out of order. It is my observa
tion that all of these cases originated
during commencement week, and
there have been none since then,
do not think these cases were due to
any local causes, but are attributable
to the excitement and dissapations of
commencement week, coming at a
time, when the system is below par.”

Cleveland’s message on the fisheries
question was a master stroke. A par
tisan Senate thought to overtax his
resources; but instead gave him an
opportunity to show himself equal to
any emergency, and superior to sec
tion'll prejudices. He not only showed
himself the executive of the whole
country; but a diplomat} >f great power.
Augusta lias rejoiced over her ap
propriation for a'government building
and is now jubilant over an appropria
tion of $10,000 for an artesian well.
In the meantime, Athens sits hy and
would be glad even were she given a
free delivery of her mails. She asks
little of Uncle Sam, but that little is
long delayed.
The republicans are adopting the
same disreputable tactics to secure the
defeat of Mr. Mills in his congression
al district as they used in the defeat
of Col. W. R. Morrison. Bushels of
money have been imported into the dis
trict, and representatives of protected
associations will undertake to place it
where it will do the most good.
President Cleveland, Chairman
Brice, Congressman W. L. Scott,
Secretaries Whitney and Endicott,

$120,000 toward the Democratic cam

Wheat begun to rise in price last
week, not because of any increased
demand in the boasted home market,
hut on ftecount of the small wheat
crops in Europe. The farmers of the
United States must sell their wheat
and other produce on the free-trade
principle in the open markets of the
world in competition with all oomers.
But the cost of most of the commodi
ties wjiich they need if enhanced in
the tariff-walled market to which they
are confined.—Record.

Judge Thurman has a grandson,
Lee Thurman, who ventured to make
a speech of thanks to the enthusiastic
crowd of a thousand which greeted his
grandsire upon his arrival at Colum
bus, O., od Sunday night.
I asked a hoy one day, just as the

Georgia’s delegation m Congress is
receiving flattering comments on all
sides. So much for selecting good
men and keeping them there. Expe
rience is hslf the battle in Congress,
and the majority of our members have
been there long enough to be thor
oughly acquainted with the ways of
Congress.
Of Gen. Benjamin Harrison, Eu
gene Debbs, grand secretary and treas
urer of the Brotherhood of Locomo
tive Engineers, writes:
“I know Harrison’s railroad record
in 1877 well, for I was at Indianapo
lis at that period. I propose to tell
the people soon in a public speech
just what I know about it Harrison
was captain of a company of men or
ganized to shoot down our men. Hot
content with that, Harrison prosecut
ed and convicted |seven workingmen
S that period, and they were un
to various terms in prison.
Our committeeman, Mark Miller, a
Republican, was one of the men, and
bis sentence was for three weeks, dur
ing which time we furnished him food
in prison. At that time ex-Governor
Porter and ex-Congressman John E.
Lamb were working to get tbe men
out of prison iu opposition to Harri
son’s movements, and that is why we
are under obligations to Porter and
Lamb.”
NOT ENGLISH BUT AMERICAN
A few Republican papers have as
serted that President Cleveland has
strong leaning toward England. This
false charge lias been knocked into a
cocked bat by his message on the
fisheries question, which too clearly
shows that he is American, ever ready
to protect American interests from
any and every attack. English opin
ion of lus message is shown by the
following extracts from leading Eng
lish papers:
The’Standard says:
“The rejection of the fisheries
treaty hy the Republican Senators is
a tame and feeble mode of attacking
Canada compared with the vigorous
schemes propounded by the Demo
cratic President.”
The Times Writes:
•'“The President, it turns out, had
something better than idle lamenta
tion in store. Accepting unreserved
ly the vote of the Senate, he has com
plete^ dished the Republican party
by pronouncing for a retaliation far
more thorough and severe than the
partisans of Blaine and Harrison ever
dreamed or thought it necessary to
suggest.”
The Daily Hews says:
“The President lets the Republican
Senators know that if they want an
aggressive policy they shall have it
with a vengeance. He has unques
tionably strengthened liis position in
the United States by the earnestness
of his proclaimed determination to
maintain what he believes to he the
rights of American citizens.

Candidate Harrison istlie nominee
of the Republicans in aforlorn hope—
that’s all. The Herald states his
unenviable position thus pointedly:
“Harrison seems to be the easiest
man in the country to forget Indeed
it requires a great effort on the part
of the Republicans themselves to keep
him in mind. If you turn to the or
dinary member of the party, one of
the rank and file, and suddenly ask,
Who is Harrison, anyhow? he looks
at you with a vacant sort of stare,
then runs his fingers through liis hair
in bewilderment, and replies, “Harri
son did you say? Why, isn’t he the
man whom we nominated for the
Presidency, or something, at the Chi
cago Convention? I’m not sure, hut
if my memory serves me that’s the
lan.”
The News & Courier gives the grat
ifying assurance that “there is not the
slightest danger of any division in
the.Democratic ranks in South Caro
lina that will affect the fortunes of
Cleveland and Thurman and tariff
reform. South Carolina is expected
to give the usual Democratic majority,
and. politically speaking, is as safe as
Georgia.”
In view of Mr. Harrison’s great
aversion to hand-shaking and his sick
ness arising from the effort it is heart
less for the Hew Orleans Picayune
to remark, just at this time, that a
great many people shake the handle
of a town pump eveiy year without
feeling morally committed to vote
for it.
A crisis is upon the country. The
fifteen thousand monopolists in the
United States, who own the hanks,
the bonds, the factories, the furnaces
and the distilleries of the country, also
own the republican party and control
ita policy. Through tlie platform of
that party, at promulgated, they have
