THURSDA/. JULY 6. 1899.
Some men delight in being political
foo's,
There will bo few Bilver democrats
uex year.
Greed is swallowing up every thing
jgood in man.
The only way to control monopolies
is to own them.
The man with his thousands of acres
iias little sympathy for the homeless.
The .sixteen to one democrats are pre
paring to go into the gold camp. Watch
•*nd see how they are already changing
their views on the silver question.
What political parties will do in the
future can best bo judged by wdiat they
have done in the past. By this ru’o the
two old parties are in a bad plight.
Do Something.
Iu this world all of cs can do some
thing to make it better, something to
relieve the burdens of others, something
to cheor and help up some woary soul
that is almost crushed by misfortunes,
disappointments or trials of some kind,
itf wo can do nothing else, wo can sym
pathize with thoso whoso hearts are sad
sand let thorn know we feel for them.
A little word of sympathy when the
houl is weary and the heart is sad has
revived hope and courage to many a
poor mortal and made the trials of life
tighter and easier to bear.
We can ull do something in tho world
worth doing. We all can think some
thing worth thinking, say something
worth saying, write something worth
writing and help make the world worth
living iu. Tho greatest pleasure after
*ll in living is to do something for oth
ers, to help lift np humanity, to feel for
those who have greater crosses than we,
aud to do those things free from seltish
or impure motives or for personal ends.
To be truly great and noble one must
forget self and do something—live for
the good you can do. If we all would
do this, the dream of the dreamer—Un
iversal brotherhood—would soon become
a reality.
Something For Nothing.
This is an age of greed and money lov
ing, an age iu which men w 11 do almost
anything to get something for nothing.
It is an age in which men or judged by
their capacity for accumulating money
or its cquivilant, property of various
&inds. By reason of this fact men will
-sacrifice their honor, their manhood and
'their all to gel something for nothing.
They will lie and deceive their fellow
man if by so doing they can get some
thing for nothing, It causes men to ad
vertise frauds and fakes, to get np var
ious schemes of robbery, such as water
ing stock to unload on the innocent etc.
The world has become crazed on the love
of money and wanting something for
aothing. The church must be convert
ed before this great evil can ever be
read by all men and its sentiments
adopted unconditionally, what a revol
ution there would be in this old world
of oars. Something for nothing woald
fce unknown.
Bryan and Dixon.
In company with a large delegation
of our ladies and gentlemen of Winder
we went to Gainesville yesterday to
take in the Chautauqua exercises and
to see Mr. Bryan and Dr. Dixon, two
noted Americans. Mr, Bryan lectured
in the morning to 1000 people and Dr
Dixon in the evening to a crowded an
ditorinm. Mr. Bryan was cool and dp
liberate and on the great political ques
tions of the day interested his audience
and presented some conviutfiug fact 0 .
What he said was not new to reform
ers as they have been preaching this
doctrine since the organization of the
Populist party but, coming from him :t
no doubt con vincod many who would
have reject'd the same had it been told
them by any one else. Mr. Bryau is a
fine speaker and has an easy flow of
language, but yesterday was rather
slow and deliberate in bis utterances to
keep up that interest among his listen
ers that mako3 you never tire and to
feel the time has parsed away too quickly
Dr. Dixon is quite .the reverse aud will
keep you running at full speed to keep
up with him aud you become so enthused
that you forget every thing else but
what he is saying. Wo wish we hrd
time to say more of those two
men this week aud hope in next ic
sue to give a fuller account of what they
talked about.
Poor Humanity.
Whi’e Czar Nicholas is posing a3 a
father of his beloved Russians and a
champion of disarmament and suspen
sion of war preparations in the inter
est of humanity, the Volga and other
provinces of Russia are scourged by
the worst famine that has' ever visited
the empire. The, scurvy epidemic re
sulting from the famine has swept
away the populations of village after
village. The, lowest’ estimate of the
cases of scurvy in Volga territory is
about half a million, but, according to
reliable advices, this number should be
doubled. Last winter fuel was scarce
and the horse flesh put by in the au
tumn rotted for want of salt, and the
peasants crowded together ’n their poor
huts to keeD warm, and, of course,
scurvy broke out through the unwhole
some conditions. The government has
granted $60,000,000 for relief, but, as
millions are suffering in the Volga dis
trict, aud elsewhere, the money has not
gone very far, especially as the govern
ment officials are known to have pock
eted a considerable portion of it for
their own delection. It appears that
this awful famine led the ezrr to send
out his peace propositions on the sug
gestions of the finance minister, that
the demand for vast armaments had
impaired his flue program for the bet
torment of Russian agriculture and pro
duced a famine, through lack of means
to carry nut the beneficent program.
Doubtless the necessity for completing
the Siberian railroad had something to
do with the czar’s desire for a breath
ing spell for expenditures for army and
navy also. Tolstoi ascribes the famine
to the degeneracy of the peasants,
which means that they are very improv
ident and drink too much strong native
braudy for their own good. Of course
the peasants cau’t make rain, and the
lack of it has, iu some districts, caused
the famine. Even the summer crops in
the Odessa districts are threatened.
Meanwhile medical attention is en
tirely inadequate to the necessities of
the people, tens of thousands of whom
have literally uothiug, aud women aud
children are the chief sufferers. From
the Ural mountains to Moscow and for
10 or 12 degrees north and south this
ghastly plague spot stands a terrible
rebuke to Russian inefficiency to deal
with emergencies. The “visitation”
is worse than that of 1891-92. An au
tocratic government ought to be able
to prevent such suffering and to perfect
a system of agriculture which would
minimize the effects of drought But
Russia is helpless, aud even the relief
funds for the destitute are pluudered
by the Russian officials. The czar’s
kind of government is conspicuously
paternal and it shonld be an object les
son just now to paterualistically in
clined Americans. It may serve to
disillusionize them and take the glamor
from their eyes.
This concluding comment is misplaoed
The men in this country, who are talk
ing about “paternalism,” are laboring
to make our government aa much as
possible like that of Russia. They
want the people to have no voice in
affairs; they want a millitary bureau
cracy and an aristocracy of wealth; they
want rings, trusts and combinations
of thieves to reduce the people to Cot
sack conditions.
The “paternalism” the Populists ad
vocate is that in which the people will
look after their own affairs with a pa
ternal care, and will elimnate those who
plunder them.
Is it not dreadful to think of Russia’s
immense armies, the universal social
rottenness, the cost of royalty and no
bility, while millions are starving:
And then a fool charges the drought
to drunkenness! As if, when men suffer
for lack of sufficient nourishment, they
do not inevitably turn to stimulants to
create a false life. The best cure for
intemperance is prosperity, growing out
of just law®. The greatest breeder of
druukenness is injustice and oppression.
The Russian tyranny, and every royal
government of the same kidney should
be wiped off tlie face afflicted
earth. —Donnelly’s Representative.
What a remarkable thing it is that the
United States government cannot make
good paper money—greenbacks- yet
can make such infernally good bond-!

Home Influences.
From the Yazco Sentinel.
The world has many needs. They
cry out to us on every side. We need
better mechanics, more honest legisla
tors. Wiser statesman, more efficient
schools and purer churches. In our
vain attempts to remedy society’s de
fects we are forever organizing new
forms of work, aud as a result we have
countless associations representing the
earnest efforts and kindest thought of
men and women banded together to
find a panacea for human ills and social
wrongs. Mauy of these offorts are in
the highest way praiseworthy and most
of them are commendable in their ac
tion. .But after all, they fail to get at
the root of the difficulty. We may or
ganize until we organize ourselves to
death, but there are certain institutions
which precede all the rest, and the old
fashioned quiet home, treat it as we
may, is the great fountain of all that is
worthy aud true in a nation’s life.
There is where woman rules the world
and has no successful competitor. A
Fady writer who has gained literary
success is responsible for these sensible
words, recently uttered:
“We do not need anything in the
world so much as good mothers. The
right sort of mother knows where her
boy is all day long She spends her
time entertaining. She is ‘chummy’
with him, too, aud has his complete
confidence She doesn’t allow her girls
to go to the depot to see the train come
in, nor does she permit them to spend
nights away from the guardianship of
their own home. She is watchful
the same tims that she is kind aud lov
ing always. Give us better mothers
and the world will soon be full of bet
ter men aud women.”
