The Democracy row has control of all the branches of the Govern ment and is in a position to redeem its pledges made in the Chicago plat- form. That platform was pronoun* ced by the people of the Union by an overwhelming majority to be the embodiment of their principles, and the Democracy will be serving its constituents well if it succeeds in carrying out the pledges therein made. Democracy stan Is pledged to the repeal of the McKinley law, to tarifl for revenue only, to a condemnation of the Force bill, to the repeal of the ten per cent tax on State banks, and to many other necessary reforms. It is opposed to pension swindling; it is opposed to millionaire monopo lists ; its past record places it in fa vor of taxing United States bonds and in all its professions and acts it has ever been the friend of the masses of the people. And now that Democracy has come int> its kingdom, it will not forget its subjects, nor suffer longer the yoke of oppression to remain ups on their necks. Calmly, slowly, cau tiously, wisely, and firmly, it will set to work to redeem the pledges made to the people and upon which they entrusted the government to its care and keeping. The evils are complex and difficult to eradicate. It will require the skill of the most careful and experienced political sur geons to remove the cancer of Res publicanism from the face of the body politic. Rut it can and will be cone. Be patient yet a little while, and the relief you have Bought for 60 long will be at hahd. Cleveland, Stevenson and Crisp are the pilots at the helm, and the old ship will weather the storm. while providing amply for the Com mon School System, the General As- embly should not forget the branches of higher education. On this sub ject, it would be well for them to thoroughly discuss the State Nor mal School and its needs, and to appropriate sufficient money to that institution to place iton a firm foun dation. The money invested in the State Normal School will yield rich interest to the State in the belter development ot the minds of her children. The question of education is the most important one now before the legislature, and merits the most care ful ccnsideraMon of that body. GO SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY. The Democrats all over the Union are flushed with victory and in their enthusiasm should be careful about what they d<-. The party and the American people can well afford to go slowly and carefully in all mat ters of national legislation. It is an important hour in which the ge nius ot American institutions is to be put to the test for a solution of many vexed problems. There are several newspapers just now advocating the call of an extra session of Congress in order to take active steps towards repealing the McKinley law. Of coarse the coun try should be relieved of this ini quity as soon as possible, but the work should be carried out perfect ly. Nothing rash should be done, and as the entire government is now in the 'hands of the Democracy, it should act cautiously and wisely. It should take into counsel the ablest leaders of the party, consult and ad vise, and get at the very best solu lions of the problems before them. The responsibility of legislation for the first time in thirty.two years Teats upon the Democracy, and there mast be no rash or unwise step made. We believe the extra session of Congress would be detrimental to the best interests of the people. Let ns take time and add to it wisdom and when Democracy strikes the tariff iniquity let the blow be well aimed and decisive. ABOUT THE EXTRA SESSION. A good many Democrats are has tening to advise President Cleveland to call an extra session to repeal the McKinley bill, says the Rome Tri bune. The possession of unlimited power is a dangerous thing for any party and Mr. Cleveland is likely to put on brakes rather than add fuel to the flames of extremists. There can be no harm in the repeal of the McKinley bill, but if theP.eaident calls an extra session, the chances are that Congress will go on to make sweeping and hasty changes beyond that. The tariff is not a matter to be treated off hand, and it is not likely that a men as conservative a- Mr. Cleveland will advise anything like legislation in haste. str&tions are to excite the popular in terests if the questions at issue are dis- cu sed with thoughtful argument. It has shown that appea s to the highest order of motives arts most effective with intelligent and patriotic oitizns. It bas fastenei.the attention of tha Amer ican people upon the growing evil cf corrupt practices, and may, it is to be hoped, bring forth vigorous and suc cessful efforts for tUeir repression.” The news of the great Democratic- victory seems to have produced various effects on the he*< iin writers of tl,e newspapers of ih< country. These election headlinis nave been an interesting study a;id hav shown the measure of nthSsiasui and the manner in which it wail expressed. There were any number ot “Victory 1” “Redeemed!” “Saved at Last,” head lines, but these sc<. rued U me and coin mouplace when compared with “Hip! Hip Hurrah!!” “Wnoo,.! ta-ra-ra- Boom de ay.” “Gu.ry, Glory Allelu- iah!' but an Air* >ma paper surpassed them all with “Glory to God in tb* highest, and on earth peace and good will toward men ’’—Rome Tribune. EDUCATIONAL MATTERS. The General Assembly at its present session will deal with no more important a question than that of public education. Already several bills have been introduced on this subject, and many more will be forthcoming. It is important -Where is Whitelsw tonight? And a voice way do* n from the bosom of the soup replies, “Here I am, the victim of another Southern outrage.”—Appeal- Avalanche. Cleveland will take great pains in selecting his cabinet officers, and no doubt will get together an able body of men as bis advi fi ers. To sum it np briefly, the causes of the annihilation of the Republican party are protective tarifl robbery and force bill centralization. Let all talk about an extra session of Congress die out. Follow the lead of Cleveland. He is not in favor of an extra session. We have heard of a young bnll which saw an engine approaching witn a train of cars. Being mightily ir flatc 1 with his own importance, and easily insulted with anybody who seemed to oppose him, the frantic bull rusLed straight upon the engine. The engine threw the bull lifeless from the track, and steadily pursued us way with the train of cars. The frantic efforts of Tom Watson to stay and overcome the Democratic party reminds us of this angry and blinded animal. The resistless train has sped onward and left him lifeless,— Washington Chronii.ie A FEDERAL COURT FOR ATHENS The need for a division of the Northern District of Georgia and the establishment of a Federal Court at Athens is just as great now as it was a few years since when a bill to that effect passed the House and Senate and was vetoed by President Harri son. The reasons why such a thing should be done are numerous and weighty, and Congressman Lawson could do his people no better ser vice than introduce such a bill into the House at once and keep ham mering away on the measure until successful. -tditorial Comment that the State should throw herself more fully into line on Educational matters than she has ever done, and The New York Herald worked very hard for Democracy towards the last of che recent campaign, and it says now that the Democrats have bsen called to power the source of evils will be cut off. When protection is reformed its abuse will disappear; when the government is administered for the good of the masses rather than the benefit of tbe classes; when it fosters the interests of wage-earners as well as tbe interests of wage-payers; when it protects labor as well as capital and the laborer as well as the capitalists; when, in short, De mocracy reigns instead of plutocracy, then we may expect less discontent and distress, fewer labor struggles and strikes, and consequently less violence, rioting and lawlessness. Any griev ances which workingmen may have will be easily redressed and any wrongs easily righted. Under such a government there can be no excuse for bomb throwing, no pretext for dynamite or the dagger, no occasion for lawlessness and no room for anarchists. Such assassins cannot now be put down too summarily or too quickly. Here is the latest cabinet: Secretary of State, James John Cor bett, California. Secretary of the Treasury, Jack Mc- Auliffe, New York. Secretary of War, Robert Fitzsim mons, Louisiana. Secretary of Agriculture, John Law rence Sullivan, Massachusetts. Secretary of the Navy, William Mey er, Illinois. Secretary of the Interior, Frankie McHugh, Ohio. Attorney-General, William Madden, New York. Postmaster General, Charlie Mitch ell, of England, (This nomination is made in a spirit of international amity and because of “Charley’s” world wide reputation as a letter-fighter.—Macon Evening News. Senator Carlisle is undoubtedly rigbt in saying that tbe decision as to an extra session of Congress next spring will dtpend upon what tbe Senate shall do at the approaching short session. If tbat body shall obstinately refuse to join the House in passing any meas ures for tbe relief of tbe people, an extra session may become necessary. It may be that measures for the relief of tbe Treasury, to meet the deficiency which Secretary Foster bas tried to conceal, may require an extra session. Whatever shall be deemed wisest and best next March, President Cleveland can be relied on to do. But it is too early yet to decide tbe question. The Democratic party is not going to rush matters. It will not cross bridges ’till it gets to them.—N. Y. World. Harper’s Weekly makes thla sensi ble oomment on tbe cbaracte* < f the campaign just ended: “ Whatever tin result of tbe election, the campsite which preceded it bas served to teaci us several lessons of high value. Itta>- sbown how unnecessary spectacular campaign displays and noisy demon- Should the successful party trifle with the people through the next four years as they have in the past, and w< can expect nothing better, the people will revolt, and the rotten ship of D<- nocraoy will be left stranded on the sand bars of deception in a shoreless sea.—Banks County Gazette, This little Third party sheet can rest issured that tbe Democracy will re deem its pledges to the people who sup ported it, but it will hardly ask the opinion of the Banks County Gazette as to how to run tin government. Tbe ibove clipping is the same kind of twaddle preached ale a w eks si*<ce in avorof that old M .therskito wJtyer. There is poet, justice in therein ol a Senator’from Wyoming by the Dem crats. This is o .o ol the States hustled into the Union by the Republicans to confirm their grip upon the Seriate as means of thwarting che will of the peo ple for years to come. A Democratic Senator from Wyoming will give tbe Democrats just the forty-four votes necessary, with the aid of the Vice President, to control the uppei house of Congress. The whirligig of Time i sometimes rather rapid in bringing in his reveDges.—N. Y. World. Chairman Tom Carter proved him self an able political financier durii _ the present campaign, whatever may be said by President Harrison about his rainbow chasing proclivities. It is an oonneed that tbe amount of cash he succeeded in squeezing out of various persons and corporations was $3,600* 000, and that he closed his headquarters with debts of $50,000 hanging over the committee. Tbe total of theBe debts, not less than the fund collected, proves Carter a suave and persuave man.—£a vannah News. We doubt tbe wisdom of tbe move ment to have judges and solicitors gen eral appointed by the Governor, instead of having these offices elective by the legislature as they now are. We are opposed to placing so much power in the hands of any one man, it matters not if he be the Governor of Georgia, ft is better to have them elected by tie representatives and senators, The Burial of Sir Benjamin. Not a tear wts shed with our sighs of relief, As out of the white bouse he hurried; Not a force bill bayonet stood on gnard At the polls where poor Bennie waa bailed. We harried him s’owly from morn’till night, As the leaves ol November were falling; By the ample rays of the solar light. Beyond any chance of recalling. No useless casket inclosed his remains, Nor in sheets nor in flags we wound him; But he lay like a soldier that’s got nis dose, With tbe bloody shirt wrsppedaronnd him. Long and loud were the prayers we said, Aa his years of bulldozing were over: And we eagerly boosted him out of the chair To make room for Adlaiand Grover. We thought as returns from New York came in All his chances and hopes to smother. Will the great James d. now dance with vlee On the grave of nis long lost brother? On the eighth of November’s setting sun— Oh, hard was the day’s perspiring — We beard the great puff to the burial gnn. And then came our turn for firing. ‘Tis tbe last sad blow to grnff old Ben, As we leave him alone in his dotage; Turning sorrow to glee with Baby McKee On the porch of his Cape May cottage.

CAPT. W. D. O’FARRELL. [ He Will be Asked to Hold cn to the Aidermanlc Place. ^ A reporter was shown a petition from the voters of tbe First ward requesting . Capt. W. D, O’Farrell to withdraw hisjl resignation as Alderman of the First j ward which is to take effect in January, j and to remain iu the Council next year. The petition was being signed by every voter of the ward (ssoin as presented, and now has sufficient signatures to show to Capt. O’Farrell that his servi ces as Councilman are highly apprecia ted by tbe ward he represents. “What will Capt. O’Farrell do about this petition ?” asked tbe reporter of the gentleman showing the petition. “Capt. O’Farrell cannot fail to grant the wishes of so many people for vari ous reasons,” replied the gentleman. The people of Athens outside of bis ward have always looked upon him as a leader in all municipal and political matters. He is a man of broad views and has done as much to help build up our city as any other man in it, and after mature consideration ou any issue pertaining to the good of the city called for the support of his ward they unhesitatingly gave it to him for they considered him an honest man and was working for their interest. “His advice and superior judgment has helped his ward as well as the bal ance of the city. Now the voters of the First ward ask Capt. O’Farrell to con tinue to represent them in tbe city coun oil until his time expires, and he cannot and will not ignore them in this request Besides the voters of this ward, tbe Mayor and other members of tbe coun cil are only too anxious to have Capt. O’Farrell oontinue with them and as sist in tbe management of the city government They fully recognize his Ability and progressiveness in all mat ters pertaining to the advancement of Athens.” Not a Lost Cause. The tariff plank in the Chicago plat ’orm was identioal with the article of che Confederate constitution regulating a fiscal policy. The great orators and newspapers of the Republican party denounced it as such, and even made some slighting allusions to Jefferson Davis. Yet tbat plank in the platform has been endorsed, North, South, East and West, by an overwhelming major! ty! The Confederacy is not a lost cause after all. Its vital principles survive Mr. Stepnens used to say that, unless the Democratic party and tbe south made fatal blunders, tbe North would one day discover that the Confederate constitution was better than the origi u&t, and that it might be cardinally adopted by the whole Union. As tbe revenue article of that constitution has received such tremendous aemptatee even in former Republican strongholds o her parts of that instrument may be also adopted. Wonders never cease. So, the lost cause is not so much lost as it seemed to sentimentalists Local self-government returns with the de molition of the force bill, ana a tariff for revenue only goes hand in hand The present generations at the North are weary of old war issues, and the millions of European immigrants con stantly arriving care nothing for them at all. It must be a bitter pill for John Sherman, Chauncey Depew and the old war-horsesof the Republicans to see the fiscal policy of the Confederacy L which they held up to execration, not only accepted as the will of the majori- ty, but the prime cause of Republican overthrow.—Augusta Evening Herald The Once Watson. The once Watson is not. He shook this vale of tears yesterday and sailed away to the golden henee. He died of complications arising from excessive and imprudent talking through the hat. Deceased was one of the most adroit mouth artists and expert lung athletes about bis neck of the woods. * His fame as a peripatetic prevaricator extended far beyond the limits of his potato patch, and he achieved gread renown as a rain bow chaser of a high order. The services at the grave were at tended by bis fellow-citizens almost unanimously, a large majority of whom responded with feeling amens as each falliog clod struck the burial oase with a dull, sickening thud. So impress ively did Parson Black pronounce the wprds that rounded off tbe earthly career of this celebrated snollygoster that even Undertaker Boykin Wright was visibly moved and took an un usually active and earnest part in the august ceremonial. He will be sorely missed by those who had learned to love him for the enemies he bad made and the boodle there was iu it. The Rev. Doyle and the Melli- flous Metco Branch will miss him sad ly. Mrs. Lease and General Rot^enegg Weaver, too, will mourn his loss. But he is planted deep, anti don’t you forget it!—Macon News. A CASE OF NEED Which a Few Dollars will Relieve. For some time Birdie Baxter, a crip pled youth, has been going to Washing ton street school, his expenses being paid by friends and by the school chil dren. He is a bright boy and a good scholar. j(jlt now happens that on account of lick of money with which to meet his expenses, he has been compelled to leave school and give up his pursuit of education. It will only require a small amount to enable him to go ou to school, and ac quire an education that in a great de gree will overcome his physical misfor tune, and anyone desiring to contribute for this purpose can leave their contri butions at the Banner office and they will be banded over to the beneficiary Pllesi Piles! ttening Piles!

COTTON DANCING UPWARD. ft Has Advanced More Than One Cent per Pound Since the Election. Cotton continues to rise, and yester day was selling on tbe streets of Ath ens at nine cents, while in New York it ruled at 9% cents. This is an advance of over one cent per pound since Cleveland’s election and brings to pass tbe prediction of prominent Augusta cotton buyer, that the election of Cleveland and Black meant nine cents for cotton. The buyers are taking all they can get on these figures and it is predicted by many that it will advance to ten cents by December. The success of Democracy doesn seem to have ruined the farmer after all as was predicted by some of our Third party friends. THE GALA TIME That Will Attract Many peoDto to Athens.

He says: To the Members of the General As sembly of Alabama: Your attention is respectfully culled to the frauds which I am reliably informed were per petrated iu the respective counties named below at tbe (lection held on tbe first Monday in A’gus*, 1892. I charge that upon a fair investiga tiou of tbe election ftauds perpetraud n tbe counties of Autauga, Bulloch, Butler, Conecuts, Coosa, Dallas, Elmore, Greene, Hale, Lowndes, Macon, Madi son, Marengo, Mobile, Monroe, Mont gomery, Morgan, Pike, Shelby, St Clair, Sumter, Talladega, Walker and Wilcox it will be shown by convincing proo that areal majority of between forty- five and fifty thousand votes for the state ticket head id by myself for gov ernor was changed into a fictitious ma jority of about ten thousand for tbe ticket headed by Thomas G.

The opening feature was a grand torch light procession and ratification meeting in which thousands of Demo crats took part and helped to ratify the election of the Democratic presidential ticket. After the parade of the torch bearers through the principal street, the proces sion brought at the state capitol where the immense cerridora were filled with enthusiastic Democrats shouting, yell ing, blowing tin horns and hurrahing for Cleveland and Democracy. After an unsuccessful effort of Chairman Brandon to obtain order, Govern -or Northern succeeded in getting a par tial hearing and the speeches of a number of prominent Democrats were listened to by the few who were fortunate enongh to get a position close enough to the stand, but the majority of the crowd seemed to be intent upon having a good time in their own pecu liar way and did not care for speaking or speakers. This closed the first day of the enmi val which was filled up with amuse ments at Piedmont park. The reception of the Sultan and his suite was attended with as mnch pomp and ceremony as would be , expected, should the real Turkish. ruler visit onr borders in propria persona. He was re ceived by the state and city officials and escorted througti the streets by the local military organizations. The carnival will continue through the week, with an appropriate program for each day. DIRT IS BROKEN For the Georgia, Carolina and North ern Shops.
