5TAND by the democracy.
Tne condition of American poli
tics at present is very, mixed, to say
the least of it.
Tin; two old parties, of course, are
f t ru „i>ling against each other for su
premacy, wbiie of late there has as
cended upon the horizon a new star
that seeks to outshine ali others.
The People’s party, belter known,
perhaps, as the third party, con-
j r ,r,ts tiie citizens of the Republic
with a platform or principles that
premises relief to the farming and
laboring classes. It arraigns the re-
pubiicau.and democratic parties as
ki,,g negligent of the trust imposed
jpou them, as being unmindful o
^ needs of the poor and toiling
eons of the Republic ,
The main L:>dv of supporters to
the new pariy is made up from the
auks of the Kuights of Labor out
ffest, and with a great many tho
hnp-s of success of the new party
ntf high.
Of course the leaders of the new
piny hoj»e to draw a considerable
element ot strength from that order
imi the Farmers’ Alliance in the
g„nth, and in this manner to break
thesoiio ranks of the democracy in
this section.
Hence it is boasted that in 1892
the People's pajly will sweep the
South, that l«r so long a lime bas
pa led a solid vote for democracy.
If that be the Elysian dream of
time people ; if it be thought by
jheiu that the South can ever be esw
iraugol from the principles and
tei.esof the dcrotciacy ; if it bo
thought that the electoral vote of this
Kciion will be cast against the party
of .litf:rsnn and Madison and Jack-
sou ; then in our humble judgment
they are destined to realize a sad dis-
ippainlineni.

principles contended for by the Alii-

Speaking of evolntion of men from
monkeys the Boston Herald cites the
following incident.
A monkey in New York got a bottle
of whiskey tne othef day, and, after
swallowing the contents proceeded to
rip things up generally and even went
so far as to decline to hand over the
pennies that were given to him by his
boss organ grimier, preferring to
squander them all on. himself. There
seem# to be a good deal of human na
ture in the monkey tribe.

Now that is r. joke, dear sisters, to take

any thought or experience would b>sitate
inueed to attempt an exposition on the
raising of children to be encompassed iu
one hundred words.
There are few men qualified to take up
on tbemsslves the decision of a question so
great in itself, and of which they are, as a
rule, so ignorant. Few men are intimate
with iheir children, or lake paius and lime

But when he comes to third party talk
the democratic sons of the south are not
“in it” at all. The alliancemen of
Georgia are democrats just as hot.

The Journal reporter says Mr. Watson
gave a low chuckle when he read this
position of The Evening Herald. The
following interview with the reporter
will be read with interest.
WATSON WONT RESIGN.
“What have you got to say on the
subject?” asked tbe reporter.
“Oh, nothing,” he replied, “except
that The Evening Herald, of Augusta,
does not represent the sentiments of the
people who elected me. The presump
tion is that I know the feelings of the
Tenth Congressional district , better
than does The Augusta Evening Her
ald.”
‘•Well, what about what it says, Mr
Watson.”
“The following questions and answers
will show my exaut position.”
Here they are:
