WHAT INCONSISTENCY!
Brooklyn’s colored policeman is
caasing quite a stir in police circles
of that city. His fellow officers re-
with privileges which nobody else will
have.—Dana’s Interview in Constitu
tion.
£i Editor Dana is sadly off bis base. He
judges the Alliance from afar. The
Alliance is the backbone of democracy
in this country today.
It is stated that a number of citizens
of Athens who own siock and bonds
that are taxed by the city, send off the
stocks and bonds to other cities where
taxation is not so high. They live in
Athens, enjoying all the privileges con
ferret! by the city government, but con
tribute very very little to the building
up ol the town. This is the criticism of
tiiO Athens Ledger.—Columbus Enqui

the men have thus far conducted it
without breaking any of tbe rules

McKINLEYISM IN OHIO.
Bill McKinley, the notorious high
tariff crank of America, the only
man who has ever had the cheek lo
arge tbe collection of taxes not to
raise money but to prohibit trade,
wants to be Governor of Ohio and
wants it bad.
The Banner would like to see him
run, and watches with intense ea-
gerness tbe interest that is already
attaching itself to the {campaign up
in the Buckeye State.
McKinley has killed himself for
ever politically by bis high tariff
foolishness,and whenever he attempts
to pnt himself np before tbe people
of Ohio—even Ohio—he is going to
find out that' he has made a fatal
blunder all this time. Even re
publicans are disgusted with high
tariff.
Anything that tends to legislate in
favor of classes against tbe masses
is out of date in this sweet land of
liberty. Tariff reform' is the heart
whisper of this great government,
and Bill McKinley will find that out
when be runs for Governor of Ohio.
MEN IAND MEASURES.
Speaking about the affairs of the
Farmers’ Alliance, the Farmer’s
Light says:
“Some of the leading dailies of the
State are advocates of men and not
measures on the leading questions
that are now agitating the minds of
the people. The question uow with
the Farmers’ Alliance is measures
and not men. The worship of man
has passed into oblivion, and the far
mer is educating himself up to the
true standard of reform, and to en
dorse men that are in favor of meas-
surcs that will benefit the masses
The next man for the high and ex
alted position of President of the
United States, will have lo endorse
measures that the people favor if he
expects to be successful.’’
Our good brother Atkinson, tbe
able editor of the Farmer’s Light, is
emim ntly correct.
WORLD’S FAIR DIRECTORS.
Stockholders will convene next

bents should be rechoser, says the
Chicago Herald. There is very little
time now for experiments, or for go.
ing over any ground already _trod-
deD. The present directors have
had time to gain experience, and
they are in‘a position to proceed in»
teiligently with the business in hand.
One very important matter that
the preseot directors have settled*
after an honest and painstaking ef
fort, is that that lake front is una
vailable as a site. Should new din
rectors be elected they would, iu all
probability, revive the dual site con
troversy and involve the enterprise
in fresh confusion and delay. The
lake front cannot be obtained for
world’s fair purposes. There are
reasons why it would be well to have
a part of the exposition located there
and most of tLe directors hate striven
to that end, bnt they have been com
pelled to acknowledge tbe uselessness
of further labor in that direction
The directors ffave investigated the
matter thoroughly and honestly, and
the decision at which they have ar
rived must ultimately stand. Hits
ratification in the election of next
Saturday will mark an era of real
progress in the great enterprise.

Mr. Jackson Meadow Passes Away
Quietly While at College.
Mr. Jackson Meadow, a well known
young man of Danielsville, is dead.
His death occurred yesterday on To
ronto, Canada, where he was attending
a veterinary college.
He was just completing his course
and preparing to return home when
he was violently attacked by a spell
of pneumonia aud telegrams from his
physician showed that his condition
was dangerous.
His brother left early Monday morn

It is to be rem embered that Clarke

Mr. Andrew J. Cobb, City Attor
