If the Farmers’ Alliance had proved an utter failure in the direct objeets,for which it had been instituted: namely the destruction of monopoly and trust’ it could still have not been properly termed a failure. While it is true, that so far from failing even in this impor tant undertaking of whipping the light of united capital against labor, the Al liance has come out with triumph and llying colors, and while it is true that the union of the farmers has been a safeguard against future attacks against their interests by these trusts, still there is something more which the Al liance has done that is perhaps of more value than all other of their victories. It is the educational advancement that it has given to the farming classes 1 ho Alliance considered as a school will show forth in no mistaken terms the good that has been gained by the order, and when we stop to review the situation of the farmers two years ago in point of education and compare it with their position today we are at once struck with feelings of surprise and gratification. Before the Alliance was instituted the general class of farmers transacted their business almost in total ignorance of the commercial world. They sent their cotton to commission merchants and received their money with faithfulness that they had been fairly dealt with. They knew not the price of cotton m other markets than that in which they sold except by a glance perhaps in a weekly paper which came to them two or three days oui of date. Quite different now. The Alliance has brought the farmers together anil they have been forced to make a mutu al study of their interests. They now keep promptly posted on the Liverpool markets, are conversant with every de tail of the cotton business, and in fact have made themselves fully capable of selling their own products and know ing what they do when they sell. Be sides this the general interest and wid awake enthusiasm which the Alliance has fanned up from dying coals and kept constantly alive has restored the dignity and power of the farming class, and made farming once more the no blest and proudest calling known to mankind. We repeat that if the Alliance had failed in all else but this, it would still have been far no failure. THE RAILROAD COMMISSION. THE BANNER’S CLAIMS M bile the Georgia Legislators have been consuming much valuable time on such bills and substituets as would en force and stand by theconstisutiomn the matter of railroad construction and competition in the State, they seem to nave ignored entirely the fact that Georgia has a railroad commission. In so doing they have broughtinjuatice to the honorable gentlemen that compose that body, and much wrong on them selves as law-makers. The Railroad Commission is a state institusion with the Spate’s best inter ests under its manipulation, and upon the shoulders of the gentlemen who form this commission more than any other set of executives, rests the future prosperity of the State of Georgia, for to the railroads we must look for the advancement of the State. The legislature should manifest more friendliness to the Railroad Commission than it.has done in the past session. The commission is not sustained with half the funds tocarry on its work, and the Legislature should not defer appro priating the sufficient amount any long er. While devoting so much time to the Olive bill and to Burner’s substi tute it seems to us that the Legislature is guilty of double error: that of com mission and omission, for it has defer ed until the twelfth hourany action fa vorable to the Railroad Commission. We sincerely hope that the Legislators Will retrieve their wrongs against the sibly gained .

The Banner is uot a chronic fence- rider, and hence has been the initiator of several important measures. When the organized democracy in the old 9th district was battling for supremacy, it did not persue auy wishy-washy policy—so that it was impossible to tell whether it was a Speer or a Candler or gan. lu this great fight, as in every other contest waged since The Banner has been under its present management, friends and opponents knew exectly where to find it. We do not claim to be the author of any movement that our files and a» in vestigation of the matter will not sub stantiate ; and a denial of our. state ments, without any pretense of showing wherein we have made misrepresenta tions and false claims, shows a most petty spirit of either malice, spite or jealousy, or an unwarranted.desire to enter into a controversy with a rival. We do not propose to gratify any such unworthy motiyes, and neither do we care to waste our amunition on little unfledged journalistic sparrows.

It had a circim. Jcstcrday, had a circus, Never was there a more faithful and bounteous yeai; in the history of the South than 1889. The fields have bloomed with a most bounteous yield, and the harvest season has kept the fanners busier than for years gathering in the abundance that the lands have brought forth. Every where comes the report that the crops are good and the farmers are rejoicing over the harvest. From the west come the tidings that the corn crops are al most bursting as did those of Egypt of old with corn and grain, and the cotton fields of the South are white with the fleecy staple. The fruit growing trop ics are smiling with abundance, and every section of the country is over stocked with the yield of its growing crops. To the South especially the year has been one of fruitfulness and plenty. Not only has the agricultural interests been blessed with progress and success, but the genera) development of the whole South has been advanced more within the present year than ever before within the same length of time. While the South has been thus advancing with unequaled strides in material progress in agricultural pursuits, and mineral and industrial arts and developments it has not neglected that most impor tant of all progress mental and social culture. Never were there such flourish ing schools as crown ^almost every hill top in the South today, and never was there a rnojre prosperous ladd in every way than the Sunny South land at this happy harvest season. Postmaster-General Wanamaker has recently sent an employe with a search warrant to Luverne, Ala., to see if he can find a Republican there capable of discharging the duties of postmaster in place of the negro Gomez. It is net known what success the official has had in his needle-in-a-hay stack. The cotton receipts of Athens up to date have over leaped those of last year by a long jump and still the staple rolls in. ■«op this year will inspite * 1 be overwhelmingly ‘o street railroad in Atlanta quite so satisfactori- -ato motor. tflu to * ot know quite how A car was re n Up electric cur- tirs. y pe °ple -re afraid to ride The fact that an invitation has been tendered congressmen Carlisle and Breckenridge, of Kentucky, to speak on living, issues at the Athens Fair and that euerything goes to insure their accept ance of same is sufficient to predict a great day for Georgia democrats at the Athens Fair. There are no greater statesmen in the United States today than these, and they will find a cordial and hearty reception at the hands of all Georgians when they come to the Athens Fair. It will be the greatest day the De mocracy of the South has seen for years hour of our time, and feel that in this we will receive the endorsement of every good citizen. W e would not now notice the little slur at The Banner made by an eve ning paper on Tuesday, but that it contaius a statement that we have laid false claims to the authorship to certain movements. The following is the ar ticle : “Our morning contemporary has our sincere sympathies. It seems from their columns, that the legislature stole their suggestion as to the fishway .in the Sa vannah river;the Piedmont Exposition stole their idea as to marrying a couple in cotton bagging; and had it not been for the Banner, the Farmers’ Alliance would never have thought of using nine ties on their cotton bales.’ ’ In reply to the first insinuation we have but to refer the author of the above paragraph to the files of Thb Banner, by which he will see that upon our return home with Mr. Grady and party from a trip down the Savannah river early last summer, The Banner wrote a series of editorials upon the im- pertanue of placing a suitable fish-way in the Augusta dam, for which we re ceived letters 6f thanks from parties liv ing on that stream, as also kind notices from papers interested. Up to that time not a line had appeared in any paper on the subject since the present fishway at Augusta was put in, and neither had a bill been introduced iu the legislature, or was even contempla ted, that we know of, to investigate the matter.

In that article we stated that the idea originated with a prominent cotton buyer of Athens, but The Banner was the first paper in Georgia or tue South to advance and advocate the movement. Mr. Geo.

Prior to that time no such suggestion had been published, and so far as we know not a single cotton-covered bale had been hound with more than six ties.
