GEORGIA JOURNALISM.
There is not a State in the Union
where journalism is shown to a bet
ter advantage than right here in
Georgia. The daily papers of Geor
gia arc always full of interesting
reading matter ; they keep up with
the news in splendid style; and their
editorial utterances carry with them
the weight of conviction.
Probably the most solid part of
Georgia journalism is her weekly
press. - li. represents the labors and
life-work of scores of brainy men
and wields an influence that can
hardly be estimated.
Journalism in Georgia has been
on the advance for several years
Its field is broader to-day than it
has ever been ; its possibilities
stretch far beyond our present knowl
edge. The columns of the Georgia
press are brighter to-day than they
have bean in years. Our brethren
of the press are doing good work in
every department of their business.
In the great campaign for Democ«
racy which is just ahead of us, the
press of Georgia may be relied upon
to do its full share of the work
There may be, some differences be
tween different papers now as regards
the proper man to nominate for the
Presidency, and some may-differ as
to the minor details of po’icy to be
adopted by the National Contention
when it frames its platform, hut
when the platform is inade and de
clared and the nominee is put before
the country, they will all wheel into
x line and make a fight for Democracy
that will aid ;in rolling up the old
time majority that Georgia has al
ways delighted to give to the party
and the principles she loves.
tt wiry politician, an unscrupulous
party boss has been made all over
the country. It is without the shadi
ow of truth, utterly .unfounded and
yet remains to be proved.
It is very easy for such reports to
be made *, it is a different thing to
substantiate them. Hill may be a
machine politician, but the people
do not believe it and will not until
they have better proof than the mere
assertions of disgruntled men. They
know tbit Hill has wrested the great
State of New York from the hands
of the Republicans, and the many
Democratic victories won under his
leadership furnish sufficient proof of
his worth as a leader.
It is to be expected that such
things ba said of Hill—that calumny
be heaped upon him. What public
man ever escaped them. But the
people are not so easily hoodwinked
or deceived. They think a little for
themselves.
And as a result of their thinking
they are satisfied with Hill, and they
are going to nominate him.

CONGRESSIONAL MATTERS.
Congress made a slow start, but is
now getting down toj ’good, Bolid
work. „JThe debate on the tariff bill
now pending before the House is re
sulting in making the people of the
nion thoroughly acquainted with
the iniquities of McKinleyism, and
before the House gets through, with
it, the people will be thoroughly
convinced that the Democracy is
fighting; a strong battle _for their
rights.
The free silver bill will pass the
House and Senate and go to the
President for his approval. It can
hardly be supposed that Harrison
will sign it, as that does not suit Re
publicanism in the least.
In the matter of appropriations,
the Democrats are exercising the
most rigid economy. ' It will be most
forcibly demonstrated by the present
House that the Democratic party is
the party of the people.
WHERE WILL IT END?
The ultimate fate of the West
Point ;Terminal system is one that
is covered over with the mist of
doubt, to say the least of it Where,
when, and in what manner the end
of this great question will come no
one knows, nor will they .know until
it comes.
The Terminal Company has been
a wonder fnlone in many respects ;
it is a great corporation now. It has
been censured and it has been prais
ed ; it has extended its lines over an
enormous territory, and is continu
ing to do so *, and now comes the in
telligence that after all its weighty
scoops, it in turn has been scooped
by the Baltimore and Ohio.
In this latter day the railroad sen
sation rules the hour. The news
paper reporter is always on the alert
to find the news in this interestipg
department; it requires eternal vigi
lance to keep up with it; for the
corporation that towers above, all
others to-day may be in the bands of
icccivei- to»morrow, and the rail,
road companies that rule the ranch
to-day may be the servants of some
other corporation to-morrow.
The troth of the matter is that
the question of railroad combination
ia one that readily adjusts itself,
system may combine with others and
grow so large that the people see in
it a monopoly not to be tolerated.
But the time soon arrives when
some trivial difference occurs be
tween officials in high rank ; then
comes division and the big combine
breaks up and reorganizes.
The end of the present deals and
transactions in the Terminal com pa'
ny can hardly be predicted. This
much can be said, however. The
progress of the South in railroad
building and general prosperity will
not be checked, whatever may hap
pen. T ese roads prosper as the
South prospers and they can be re
lied upon not to blast the source of
their income

SWEEPING ON TO.TRIUMPH.
Despite the efforts of some men
and some papers to cast aspersions
upon his character and to heap cal
umny upon his name, David B. Hill
is growing stronger every day with
the people. In this hoar of all im-
portance to Democracy, when it de
volves upon the party of the people
to choose a candidate who can carry
them to victory,' there is none more
qualified to fill that position, none
abler to fulfill tbat trust than the
sterling Democrat of New York who
lias never yet suffered the Democrat
ic banner to trail in the dust when
entrusted to his care and keeping,
The people of the country are rain
lying to the support of Mr. Hill. He
represents their ideas ss to the great
economic questions of the day. He
is not in the clutches and control of
the plutocrats and gold bugs of Wall
Street; he is the friend' of the hon
est, toiling bread-winners, the man
who will wage relentless warfare
against the oppressors of the poor.
Ho is a sterling Democrat, he has
no sympathy with Republicanism,
he will turn the rascals out. He is
Eound on financial questions ; he is
, tariff reformer, every inch of him.

HEAL THE BREACH.
The division among Democrats in
New York must be hea'ed. It may
or may nob amount to a great deal,
but every little in New York counts
for a great deal. The party must
go into the fight in -November with
solid and united front all over the
Union. There must be no weak
spots in the line.
The Democratic convention
New York in February was regnlarly
called ; it represented the majority
of the Democracy of New York ;
expressed its preference for David
B. Hill for the Pieaidency ; and
sends as delegates to Ch csgo men
who are recognized as the most slerl 1
ing Democrats.
It ill becomes the minority to seek
to divide the party by calling a sec
ond convention in favor of Mr. Cleve
land. The essential principle
Democracy ia that tba majority
rules, and it cannot be denied that
Hill is the choice of the majority
the Democrats of New York.
Mr. Cleveland professes to love
his party and to wish for its success.
We telieve he does. Then, if he
wishes to render it essential aid
this trying hoar, he will stop the
movement in favor of a second cou<t
vention in New York. Even Mr.
Watterson, one of Cleveland’s
staunchest friends, says tbat he be
lieves Cleveland will do this thing.
We do not think that the People’s
party will split on the pension plank.
The Blue and the Gray are fighting
together now. and we don’t think either
one will try to deceive or defraud the
others—Carnesviila Enterprise.
The Blue and the Gray are fighting
together against extravagance in gov
ernmental affairs, and they do not pro
pose to see hundreds of millions paid
out for back pensions when, thousands
of citizens now have bardiy enough
more imp rtant. yiever were the farm
ers nearer achieving the ends they have
so long striven for. Never was there
a time when party division would be
more disastrous to the farmers—when
running off of ter Thud party leaders
would work them such dire
injury. As Mr. Hill
strongly put3 it: “Alone you cm do
nothing but defeat all your own hopes
Alone you will but re-elect the party
whose policy of protected taxes plu*
dering us all, has always plundered the
farmers first and most and worst of
all.” But said be:
The day of the deliverance of the far
mers of the Unit'd States draws nigh;

Mb. Clkfeland’s letter to a friend
concerning his position in regard to the
presidential contest will be read with
interest all over the Union. But it does
not come up to the necessi:iescf the sit

The argument is advanced by third

for backpay for ex-Union soldiers was

Gianted that be true, what difference
does it make whether the provision is
a plank in the platform, or one of a se
ries of resolutions promulgated by the
convention? In either case, it becomes
a tenet of the parly. It is am insult to
