The strikes which cause the ty
ing up of trains at the north is hav
ing a rather serious effect on the
Georgia melon growers’ business.
Chattooga county democracy in
its primary last Saturday went for
Hon. John W. Maddox for congress, j
T 1 is with Floyd’s votes, gives Mr j
Maddox eight votes.
It looks like it is about time for
some northern papers that have
been peculiarly busy in tin* matter
to let up on negro lynchings. Most
of those happening along now are
beyond Mason and Dixon’s line.
Hon. Milt C indler is after Don.
Livingston’s scalp in the fifth dis
trict, having made his formal an
nouncement to oppose that gentle
man in his coming race. Mr Cand
ler is a sort of political wheel-horse
and warm times may be looked tor.
The new president of France,
like his predecessor, comes from a
family of distinction in statesman
ship. M. Caslmir-Perier’s father
was a minister under President
Thiers, and his grandfather was
president of the council under Louis
Philippe.
The democrats of the senate can
not do what they can not do and
they are doing, no doubt, the very
best they can. All the delay in
passing the tariff bill is chargeable
to republicans and let those who
have been abusing the democrats
for seeming tardiness turn their
liatteries on the other fellows for
awhile,
If some citizens would turn their
grumbling into zeal and good work
for the only party which can bring
reforms and a prosperous condition
to the country they would ere long
have no need to grumble. Demo
cracy has brought us all tin 1 public
benefits we of the south have had
and will bring all we are likely to
get soon.

democrats have formed a Hines
campaign club in Atlanta. Away
with tlie democracy of men who
will go to the support of demo
cracy’s square out opponents be
cause they may not like the man
the democracy names for them to
vote for. Their actions will only
react upon themselves and will not
hurt the party.
.Judge' Hines should not so far
discredit the source of all his for
mer public preferment as to charge
all the ills that may exist up to the
democratic party. The democratic
party holds much tiie same prin
ciple's it did and is no worse than it
was when Judge Hines belonged to
it and if it was so had then why
didn’t he up and say so?
Neither Toni Reed nor the czar
of Russia are in it with his royal
nibs, Debs. He may be satisfying
himself admirably in his present
attitude, but he is evoking the con
demnation of all free, liberty-lov
ing people. When the mandate of
one man can paralyze for even a
day the commerce of the country
things are getting to a most lovely
pass.
The anarchist spirit is becoming
manifest anew in the United States
since the assassination of the French
president. Anarchists may as well
know once for all that this country
will not tolerate their diabolical
and murderous methods. This is a
country of liberty, but its is a coun
try too, of law and order. Just as
rapidly as anarchist signs develop
will develop determination to allay
it.
The Alabama Kolbites are ap
sv ding to and receiving aid from
northern republicans. All other;
forces and factions that oppose the
democracy in the other states of
the south will be aided in the same
w ay. This is a fine picture for free
liberty loving democrats to look
upon and then furnish comfort and
aid to a cause thus bolstered. I
Democrats should get together and
stand together in the struggle for
the party’s success and perpetua
tion.
WHAT IS DEMOCRACY?
The people should stand by the
democratic party, which has been
from its formation and still is the
party of the people. Democracy is
the safeguard of our rights and lib- j
ertics and a bulwark against op
pression. It demands what it con
cedes and concedes what it de- j
mauds. It is the source from which ;
must come, if they do come, reforms !
and reliefs. It has stood the fires
of ages and rises from every re
verse stronger than before. It is
tenacious, uncompromising, un
yielding, indestructible. It is con
jservative when need he, yet war-
I like, aggressive, when emergencies
; require. Its foundation is the con
stitution, its guiding star, the peo
ple’s welfare. It labors constantly
j for the common weal, and eschews
j fraud and deception. It stands im
pregnably in the way of all tenden
cies to centralization and all man
ner of public corruption. It speeds
and strengthens the arm of indus
try. It nurtures progress, whiqh is
the grow'th of power and the end
and boon of liberty. It strives ever
to maintain not only the name hut
the substitute and spirit of freedom
—that freedom which gives enlarge
ment to the people’s energies, in
tellects and virtues. It is
“Constant as the northern star
Of whosetrue-fix’d and resting quality
1 hero is no fellow in the firmament.”
We of the south who have felt its
j power in lifting from the necks of
the people the heel of oppression—
banishing the ills which reconstruc
tion, civil rights and force billsen
tailed, should not forget its work,
hut should stand by it now, looking
in confidence, born of a true faith,
for ne v achievements. The very
name “democracy” should be dear
to our hearts anti an insignia of
greatness.
Stand by the democracy.
A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.
Some men, and good men, too.
claiming to be good democrats,
threaten, in seemingly, the most se
rious way, to vote for the populist
Hines lor governor. We believe, if
not all, nearly all of such demo
crats, will see the error of their
way, and desist from carrying out
their at present partially formed
purpose. Most of those men who
talk thus were supporters of Gen
eral Evans for the nomination and
they think Mr. Atkinson, who wili
be the nominee, won his success by
v|ucotioiuDii lin In nt/rcTC rjtTirr
lers. Others claim to have grown
impatient and restless over what
seems to them tardiness in the
democratic party in carrying out
the pledges of the platform and
giving the country needed legisla
tion.
We are no apologist for fraud and
as an earnest advocate of General
Evans’ claims believed we beheld
phases in Mr. Atkinson’s canvass
which, if not denominated by any
stronger term, might he called
“ill-tempered zeal,” yet we finally
were forced to admit in our own
mind that Mr. Atkinson secured a
strength sufficient to show that he
would go into the convention with
a majority openly and fairly <rb
tained. If General Evans had had
his campaign managed differently,
it might have been different. But
Mr. Atkinson will be the nominee
and will make a good governor, and
it behooves all good democrats now
to rally to his standard. We must
stand to measures, not men. While
nobody assays to gainsay Judge
Hines’ private or political integri
ty, yet he is the representative of a
party now that 1 is'directing its
shafts against tiie democracy and
opposes its principles and aims.
By voting for him democrats will
he lending aid to a dangerous ex
periment.
The cry that the democracy has
done nothing should be left to its
enemies. It is without foundation
and its friends should strengthen
its hands. Whatever good in legis
lation we may secuie must come
lhrough democracy.
Life itseif is made up of sacri
fices. It is wrong to magnify petty
party grievances to an extent that
will breed a determination to op
pose its progress. There never was
a time in all the history of parties
where all things suited all adhe
rents of any one party. Conces
sions are necessary and, if needed,
should he made.

BY THE SEA.
For theConrant American.]
I sat one summer evening in a village
by the sea
And listened to the music of the waves’
low melody;
The song they sung recalled a time
when mv life was free from woe.
When no clouds fell athw art my sky—
of a summer long ago.
Suddenly upon the stillness sounded a
tender lullaby,
A mother was singing her babe to sleep
in t bat village by the sea.
It carried me back to my childhood
days of innocence and glee;
Not a care had I for the future, my days
wore all joyous and free.
May I paint for your eyes a picture that
hangs on memory’s wall?
A picture of joy and sunshine, sorrow',
despair and all?
Well, if you could see that picture as it
looks to me today,
I know you would scatter roses along
my rugged way.
Down in a dell so beautiful, we called
it the Fairy’s Bower,
1 have liearii m y mother singing at
midnight’s lonely hour;
Singing a low, sweet love song of the
sailor far out at sea,
As she folded her arms around me and
kissed me tenderly
For the wanderer far aw'ay from our
humble little home,
As she wnispered of how some day his
feet would homeward come.
1 grew from a babe to boyhood, a bonny
• wee lad, tis said,
With a face so fair and beautiful, and
golden curls on my iiead.
But I waited in vain for father, with my
mother down by tiie sea—
Thinking that some day he’d come—
come back to her and me.
! And then there came a message that
tilled my heart with gloom;
| The ship was wrecked—and my father
to a watery grave was doomed.
I wonder can you realize the agony and
pain
That filled my trusting little heart till
it almost crazed my brain?
T wonder if life’s shadows ever fell
across your way,
As thickly and darkly as on mine that
sunny summer day?
! God grant you’ll never feel the misery
and woe
That comes from weary waiting in
heavy, crushing blow.
My mother’s eyes grew dim, her sweet
tace was pale and sad,
I knew that never again would her
heart be joyous and glad.
She ceased to sing the love songs in a
voice so sweet and low,
And her beautiful golden tresses turn
ed as white as the driven snow.
One day 1 left that mother— left her to
wander afar
Across the stormy waters—but her love
was my guiding star.
As T stooped to kiss her forehead, her
lips, her cheek and brow
Oh! God, I wish 1 could forget that
scene as it, rises before me now!
For years my ship went sailing over
the briny deep,
But of ten i longed for mother to rock
iier boy to sleep.
I stayed away trout her teachings, from
the sunlitdif, of her smiles,
Forgot the prayers site taught me when
1 was a little child.
One night the billows came dashing
over the mast and spar,
And our only gleam of light shone from
a tinv little star
Away off in the heavens, a tiny little
spark.
But it ever twinkled and sparkled over
the waters dark.
We saw the white waves leaping high
er, still higher,
And we felt that the shores of eternity
were steadily drawing nigber.
The last spark of hope bad laded and
life’s journey seemed almost o’er,
When over the waters a singer sent us a
message from the shore,
A message; of faith and love, a promise
so and true,
The whisper tlu> breezes brought us,
“For you I am praying, I am pray
ing for you.”
Day dawned and wo anchored sately in
that village by the sea,
Where so olten my mother soothed me
with tenderest lullaby.
I sought the little cottage 1 Rad left so
long ago,
To find that for years my mother had
been sleeping under t he show,
j And she said as the tide of life was
ebbing slowly away,
| “I long to see my boy again, just once,
before I g<>.”
| But the Master could wait no longer to
bid her spirit come,
So lie called her, my precious mother,
to share in the “harvest home.”

CURRENCY CONFIDENCE-
President Cleveland Gives Out a Briel Inter
view on the Nation’s Finances.
[Philadelphia Times.]
The president his given out a
brief interview on the condition of
the treasury, evidently with the
double purpose of complimenting
the banks and of reassuring any
timid persons who might’be fright
ened by the reduction of the gold
reserve into an anticipation of some
thing like the panic of last summer.
While it is never possible to say
just how much mischief may be
done by “croakiDg and the spread
of disquieting tales,” it must he re
membered that the present condi
tions are in nearly all respects quite
different from those which prevailed
a year ago and afford no basis lor
the same alarm.
The industrial and commercial
depression of 1893 was the result of
cutises so long in operation, of a
financial and economic policy so
long persisted in, and the necessary
legislative remedies have been so
slowly applied, that complete re
covery lias not yet been possible.
The revenues of the government
are still inadquate to the large ex
penditures imposed on it by extra
vagance in pensions and other ap
propriations, and the treasury is
still embarrassed by the duty of
maintaining a fixed volume of re
dundant currency. But the con
ditions ot international trade, re
versing those of a year ago, are now
most favorable to this country, and
general confidence in a speedy ad
justment of a satisfactory and con
servative revenue system has taken
the place of the uncertainty that
helped to cause a temporary para
lysis in business.
But the radical difference in the
situation lies in the repeal of the
silver purchasing act, which was
the immediate cause of last sum
mer’s panic. The government was
then making monthly purchases of
silver, which it was unable to use,
and issuing obligations therefor
that were imumliately converted
into gold. It was, perceived that
in this way tiie entire contents of
the treasury must soon he con
j verted into silver exclusively, mak
ing tiie maintenance of a gold
l standard impossibly and bringing
j about a sweeping disturbance of
; values with all the accompanying
■ uncertainity. It was this that pre
; cipitated tlie currency panic. But
| the repeal of the iSherman act re
moved this danger and gave an as
| surance of the security of the cur
rency that at once relieved the
money panic and left no reason for
its recurrence.
