A DEMOCRATIC ARrtY.
The republicans could not push
through their imperialistic army bill to
create a standing army of 100,000 men..
They had to accept what the democrats
would let them have, 60,000 regular and
86,000 volunteers for two years, and
after that a return to the standing army
of only 27,000 men. As the republican
majority in the next house is mneb nar
rower than iii the present one, there
seems to be no probability that the
standing army will bo increased beyond
the figures already piovided.

DEVELOPING OUR RESOURCES.
The Georgia gold mines are to be de
veloped by capitalists who have the
money with which to develop them.
There is plenty of gold in North Geor
gia ; in fact, up to 1849 the Georgia gold
mines were the largest in the country.
It does not lie around loose like it does
in the Klondike, but there is no risk of
life or property in the work of develop
ing the Georgia mines. The develop
ment of the Georgia gold mines means
much for the material advancement of
the state.
GEORdE DEWEY. ADniRAL.
We do not believe there is a single
true and loyal citizen in America who
does not rejoice with Rear-Admiral
Dewey in his promotion by congress to
the office of Admiral of the Navy,
Admiral Dewey is the unique character
of the war jnst-closed. He achieved
glory enough at the naval battle of
Manila bay, but the chief charm tliat
adonis the character of Dewey is the
fact that he has the sense to keep bis
month shat and to have nothing to say
to anyone, whether he be pnblic officer
or private citizen, except it have an im
portant hearing upon the work he has
in hand in the Philippines. His niche
in the temple of Fame is secure. He
takes bis rank alongside the great naval
heroes of the past!

The Pennsylvania case is simply
example of a number of other dead
locks, the only difference being the
prominence of the leading republican
candidate, Senator Quay. It is a known
fact that a majority of the people of
Pennsylvania do not want Quay re
elected* He is nnder indictment for
conspiracy to defraud the state of Penn
sylvania of public funds. He is distaste
ful to his people, and yet on account of
the law governing the election of sena
tors he cannot be defeated before the
legislature. His friends have dead
locked the legislature and prevented the
choosing of a senator. The legit lature
will in all human probability adjourn
without having chosen a senator. The
state of Pennsylvania will thus be forced
to remain with only one senator in the
senate until another legislature meets

The Atlanta Journal says: “There is
one American hero of the Spanish war,
and only one, who has escaped criticism
and ridicule by his countrymen. That
man is Admiral George Dewey.”
The question is being agitated as to
whether politics is a trade or a profes

neither of those heads. Outrlhere it is
a disease.

One of the main issues of 1900 will be

can be of such importance as the thrott

VERSUS THE JUDGE,
SOUTH CAROLINA VIEW OP ATLANTA.
The Charleston News and Courier has
a viow of its own concerning the pro
gressiveness of Atlanta. It says:
“What is the matter with Atlanta
So far as the police records and the local
newspapers show it is not keeping up
with the great cities of the country
unusual crimes, and only the other day
it was about forty-eight hours behind
the rest of the neighboring region in
hail storm, and even then the hail
stones were smaller than in other places
where they fell. Last year when Leut-
gert was charged with making sausage
meat of his wife we would have gam
bled on it that some enterprising butch
er in Atlanta would have l>eaten the
Chicago man by making sausage of at
least two wives, and we are surprised
that, with the “wide open town” which
its new mayor has promised to run,
Atlanta has not matched the Adams
poisoning incident in New York.”
COLLEGE EXPENSES.
A judicial estimate of the expense of
educating a young man was famished
in New York on Friday in an order of
Judge Gildersleeve of the supreme
court, allowing Richard Delafield Ship-
man $4,500 per year to defray his ex
penses at Harvard. Shipman-isonlv 16
years old. The boy’s annual income
when he reaches bis majority will be
about $18,000. He inherited his money
from his grandfather. While he is at
the university he will live in Cambridge
with his father, who will move there in
order to be with him. An itemized ac
count of his probable expenses places
tuition, incladiug special instruction,
$500; clothing, $500; books and station
ery, $15; personal allowance, $750; mis
cellaneous expenses, $1,000; board and
lodging, $1,200; traveling, $750.” The
boy previously had an allowance of
$2,000. It was increased at the request
of his father, who said he based his cal
culations on estimates furnished to him
by parents who had sons in Harvard
nuivereity.
It is not such boys, however, who
lead in the thought and action of the
world, aB a general thing. The dissipa
tions and distractions of a college life
which represents an annual expense of
$4,500 sap the time and energies of the
student. It is the boy of more limited
means who appreciates the value of an
education and at the same time makes
the best of his opportunities.—Augusta
Herald.

Washington, March 7.—The president

and spend the time in Georgia. He

SILVER WILL BE SIDE-TRACKED.
We do not believe that the democratic
party can afford to discard the cause of
the free coinage of silver, nor do we be
liev’e that it has any desire to do so
Yet it is not to be denied that the qnes
tious arising out of the Spanish-Ameri
can war are now overshadowing the
money question, and it will not be sur
prising if the silver issue is in a measure
side-tracked during the campaign of
1900. We believe the platform of 1900
will contain a free silver plank, but that
the chief element of the straggle will lie
the contest against imperialism. If the
compelxion of the senate gave any as
surance of a fighting chance for silver,
then the silver issue would be more
prominent in 1900, bnt as the senate is
overwhelmingly anti-silver, the demo
orats will no doubt make their main
fight in 1900 on the platform of anti
imperialism, and reserve the big fight
for the free coinage of silver for 1904.

HASTENING THE ISSUE.
Such a senatorial deadlock as has
isted in Pennsylvania for weeks past
must inevitably hasten the day when
the states of this Union will change
their methods of selecting senators aud

THE OREAT HARK IS IN TROUBLE.
Even King Mark I has his troubles
His crown does not Test easily upon his
head. He has ran against a snag
Ohio politics that has upset some of his
calculations for 1900. His veto power
proved to lw impotent when it came to
the naming of a mayor for his home
city of Cleveland.
Mr. Hanna went before his party at
his home, Cleveland, and begged and
entreated for the nomination of his man
for mayor. Mr. McKigson, who led in
the fight against Mr. Hanna’s election
to the United States senate, and who is
behind the legal investigation of the
senator for alleged bribery of legislators
entered the race against Mr. Hanna’i
candidate and swept the field like
whirlwind. Mr. Hanna’s defeat was as
humiliating to himself as it was dis
couraging to Mr. McKinley. It was not
the defeat itself so much as that the
fight for supremacy revealed the hostil
ity of Foraker, Sherman and several
others of the leading republican spirits
to both McKiuley aud Hanna. The
-battle was supposed to be on local issnes
but in fact the McKiuley-Hanna faction
was beaten because of Hanna’s ques
tion able methods to reach the United
States senate aud the president’s colo
nial policy.
This defeat of the McKinley-Hanna
program has encouraged the McKisson
Foraker-Sherman combination to make
a strong fight to control the delegation
to the national convention on an anti
colonial empire platform, and as a re
buke to Hanna for baying, as it is al
leged, a seat in the United States sen
ate.
