see the great farce that is now go

down on it in the house, and we
want to see it brought to an end
in senate. It is a wretched piece
of business and the sooner "finis”

honest politics.
We have never seen a more de

of all
hard
at
the critical moment they turn up
like a cork, on the other side.
They denounce monometallism
with an eloquence that wakes the
echoes and then sit quietly by and
see it fasten its coils on the people
Shouting forth their fidelity to the
people, they join in with the most
dangerous and tiie boldest attack
on the property and prosperity of
the people that this country has
ever seen. They’ talk with democ
racy on their tongues and goidol-
atry in their hearts. They speak
for the people and act in behalf of
Wa'l street.
We arc sincere, therefore, in de
claring that we are anxious to see
the end of this stupendous farce.
The Sherman law has aii'orded a
screen for those who are anxious
hould
stage
so that the great issue n a/ be
squarely joined and fairly fought
out.
Wo do not think the people will
be deceived by those who talk fur
bimetallism and vote for the s
gle gold standard. If the people
do not see the flash of the Joab
blade as it descends in the hands
of such men as John Sherman,
Senator Hoar and some others,
who speak for bimetallism and
vote for monometallism, they are
bigger fools than we take them to
be.
Put and end to the farce !—Con

WHAT CATTED II"?
The Madisonian says: The pro
posed legislation against holding
any county office more than two
terms, scents to be gaining favor
throughout the State. The sug
gestion la a good one, we think, be
cause some influential citizens
sometimes have been known to
hold office until they thought they
could take the homestead on it. It
will remove.a certain set in many
counties who have had their heads
■in the public corn crib from almost
time immemorial.”
Jutke Clark Resigned.
Judge Marshall J. Clarke, Judge
Cf the Atlanta circv.it for the past
eight years and whose decisions
have been looke 1 upon with almost
ns much confidence of their cor
rectness as those of the higher
court, has resigned, his resignation
to take effect oil the loth inst. He
was probably tiie ablest Superior
court Judge in the Stn*e and the
bench can ill a Herd to lose his
services. He gives as his reason
that he is tired of the worry and
responsibilities of the bench ana
desires to practice law.
Before he resigned he decided
that Steve Ryan was not in con
tempt of court and had no money
that he could turn over to a re-
. ceiver and ordered his release from
i bond.
Put ail End to The Farce?
The senate should come to a
■ vote as soon as possible on the
•■pen in'" :,i| i *'• '' (l ’ s 'l'‘ pockets have b come too full,
Uaw! Every day’s report staves off { hereby caUjin>f , , eral lill!incia i

Now that the tightness of mon
ey circulation is being loosened
somewhat, it would he gratifying
to thousands of people if some one
would rive up and tell what caused
the aforesaid tightness.
A man is said to be tight when
h » has imbibed too'much strong
drink; a shoe is tight when it is
too small for the foot, yet both are
tight because they are too full.
Perhaps the tightness of money
circulation was caused by the fact
that the national banks are too
full of financial power, accorded
them by the federal government.
If this be true our eon gressmen
should bo exceedingly careful not
to vote those banks any further
power. We might go further and
gay that the privileges of state
banks could reasonably be increas
ed by repeal ins' the prohibitory
tax on state bank issues.
If being too full causes tightness,
then the stringency may be in
part due to t-.e fact that the
coffers of protected manufacturers
and stock speculators are dispro
portionately full of currencv, or
interest bearing, non-taxable evi
dence of wealth. If this be true,
then a taxon incomes would come
in just right to relieve the unequal
pressure.
Being too full of privileges and
profits, the protected manufactur
ers should be brought to the posi
tion of selling their goods on mer
it, and in competition direct with
other goods of like value. With a
tariff for revanm only, tire extra
profits that a protective tariff now
accords American manufacturers
would remain in the pockets of
consumers, and there would be
greater opportunity- fora gtneral
circulation of currency.
They say that the purchase of
silver bullion under the Sherman
law caused the United State Treas
ury to become too full of such
bullion, and llierelore financial
tightness resulted. This law is
about to be repealed, and we will
see soon what this theory is worth.
Others say that the decreased
price of silver has made the coun
try too full of idle silver miners,
and that this pressure can be re
lieved only by a law providing for
the free coinage of silver. Such
a law is not likely to bq enacted
by this session of congress, and
by comparison we can soon deter
mine the value of this demand.
It is said- that the lack of confi
dence lias caused people to with
draw their money from banks, rnd
bv decreasing the circulation some

Yesterday beihg the day appoint
ed for Mr. Watson to speak at this
place, a large crowd commenced
gathering early in the morning
and by tlie hour for the speaking
to commence the seats erected in
front of the speakers stand out at
tiie springs Were well tilled.
A little before ten o’clock Mr.
Watson made his appearance and
soon after took the stand to expa
tiate upon the principles of the re
form he and his colleagnes are ad
vocating before the people.
Mr. Watson's appearance was
greeted with cheers by those of
his party, while the democrats,
many of whom were attracted there
out of curiosity, maintained a dig
nified silence, waiting to hear the
man who has created such a furore
throughout the country.
Mr. Watson spoke until after
eleven o'clock and might have been
speaking yet had not a heavy rain
stopped the proceedings. It is
useless to'give bis speech in full,
suffice it to say it was a repetition
of former ones.
He of course poured hot shot
into the democrats, principally the
alliance democrats, classing Gov
ernor Northern among the latter.
He told his followers that this gen
tleman had gone bacK on the prin
ciples upon which he was elected
and even went so far as to state
that the governor had said strike
your wife in the face; strike your
children, but save the dear old
democratic party, (hisown words.)
We agree with tlie honorable gov
ernor in the latter God save the
democratic party^-froin being
trampled upon by this class of pol
iticians. The governor, however
is not the man to even give thought
to such as tiie former.
Mr. Watson dwelt only briefly
on the silver question, regretting
that his time would not allow of a
clearer discussion of this impor
tant issue.
In conclusion we must say that
we feel very thankful for the at
tentive and quiet hearing given
the speaker by both sides, and we
feel sure that more benefit will be
derived by the staunch old party
from this conduct than the turbid,
demonstrative elements often to be
found at other places.—Cordelean.
An Attraction For Ilis House.
"H'm f said the stranger, regard
ing tho young man who called at tho
hotel in answer to the advertisement,
“you are an actor, you say.’’
“Yes,” was the reply. “The crit
ics, however’’
“Oh, I don’t care about the crit
ics,’’ returned the portly gentleman,
whereat the young man nodded ap
proval. “Wliat parts do you take?”
“Juvenile.”
“Eli ?—* eh ?—children’s?” gasped the
interviewer.
“Why, no,” said the applicant in a
surprised tone, “the young lover."
“Oh. yes, yes,” assoate.l the other,
smiling, “that's just it. Are you open
for an engagement—I might say sev
eral engagements—for the summer?”
“I am,” was the hearty answer.
“At, say, §25 a week and all ex
penses?”
“Well,” returned the stage lover,
“I should say so. Are—are’’—tho
tone implied mingled hope and doubt
—“are you a manager?”
“I ani.” said the elder, beaming,
“and I'll take you until the 1st of
October. All that you will have to
do is to act your regular part, and
you may fill several engagements. I

A riea For Small Attentions.
If men only knew how much their
wives appreciate the little attentions
that they consider toe small to think
about, there would be more of tho
courtesies that marked the antenup
tial period manifested in the every
day routine life that-comes after
marriage.
A man, when he has succeeded in
winning a woman, calmly lays aside
all those delightful little ways that,
if he only knew it, did so much to
captivate her, and with the air of a
man who has run after a street car
he settles down and reads his paper
without having all idea that she is
eating her heart out because of the
absence of those trifling attentions
that mean so much to her.
Listen, all ye men, to a wife who
knows how much woman's nature is
alike and how happy we nil become
over little kindnesses tbat may not
in your eyes be worth considering,
but which to us speak of a Bentiment
that has not died out in marriage and
a polite regard for the wife that is as
great as that shown the fiancee.—
