Why the Daily Papers are Recreant. DeKalb New Era. (Democratic.) People often wonder why it is that the great daily papers are silent on so many subjects of vital interests to the public. It is the purpose of this arti cle to explain way this is the case. The ixpeuses ot a large daily are enormous. It probably costs more to run the Journal or Constitution one week than to run the Era a yeur. It is true that their profits are proportion ately large. Indeed one might say that their profits are disproportionately large. There are few enterprises that pay as handsomely as a large daily pa per after it once gets on a payiiig basis. Nevertheless it is always tine that the management of a large daily paper is face to face every week with an expense account that is enormous in siz3 and certain in character. They know that their revenues are uncertain. They make lots of money but their income may wither in a night. They are at all times in danger of losing some im portant class of subscribers or advertis ers, thus cutting down their income be low their outgo aud so converting a very profitable property into a losing venture. The support of a great daily paper comes from all classes of business, so ciety and politics. It is depend upon every variety aud shade of interest and opinion. Consequently it dares not tell any truth or advocate any reform that will hart or give offense to any large class. In the nature of things therefore the great dailies never aid the people in the accomplishment of any step looking to the betterment of human conditions. For instance:—the liquor traffic is the worst evil that afflicts mankind. It is like that fabled Bohou Upas tree whose poisonous exhalations carry miserj aud death wherever they spread in stillness or are wafted by the winds. There is no excuse or justification for its continued toleration by mankind and nine tenths of the people of Georgia and four-fifths of the people of Atlanta want it prohib ited by law. The Journal and Constitution know all this. But they know also that there are some hundreds of people in Atlanta aud some thousands in the state who are getting rich through the liquor traffic by coining into cash the blood and tears of women aud little children. They know that this crowd is rich, ag gressive aDd unscrupulous and that to attack its business is to provoke eternal enmity and bitter warfare from a re lentless aud powerfully aggressive fac tion. Therefore the Journal and Con stitution dare not tell the truth on this subject. Again, suppose we take the specially privileged cla-ses —the railroads, the gas companies, the telephone monopo lies and ail that—the classes whose wealth is covered up under the forms of ingenious legislation to escape their just and proper part of the public har dens. The Journal and Constitution both understand perfectly well that any telling of the truth about these tax dodgers or any demand for equal and exact justice against them would precipitate a fight in which their reve nues would suffer. Therefore they are silent. Possibly either of them would be willing to tell the truth and so antagonize these pow erful interests if the other would agree to do the same Bat each knows the other will not do so. Therefore both are silent. The course of the Journal has been specially disappointing. When tne present owners of that paper took charge they causd the announcement to be made that they were really going to run a newspaper. They solemnly pledged themselves at least to print the news. This much they said they would do, let it hurt what interests it might- And they do print the news when it does no other hurt than to wound the feelings or lacerate the heart of some unfortunate family touched by private scat dal or made the victims of some misguided bou’s insensate folly. But tell how the great corporate interests dodge their taxes or put the burdens of government on the ignorant and poor? Not much. Tell how New York waked up and seized the glutted leeches to compel disgorgement? Not on your life. It is useless to expect the publication by the great dailies of great and crying wrongs. To do so would offend power ful interests. To give such offense is to provoke retaliation, and war on the powerful hurts a newspaper. There fore they are silent, gagged and bound at the chariot wheels of power. It ever has been and ever will be true that the people must look to the small papers and to them alone for the word of honesty and truth and courage. RED HOT FROM THE GUN Was the ball that hit G. B.

It is well to keep pace with the politi cal situation as time riugs the changes. The Populist have met in National and in State Conventions. Asa na tional organization the party has cleansed itself from fusion—the sheep have been separated from the goats. Those who had forged to the lead thro’ the ambition to hold office aud share in the spoils, of the toiling millions are robbed by vicious legisla tion, have sought their affinity aud practically allied themselves with the leaders of the Democratic party. Those whose sole purpose and aim in serving their connection with the old political organization was to devote a life of toil in the vineyard ot the Lord— a life of hardship aud privation in be half of oppressed humanity—have once more gathered together in National convention and renewed their faith and devotion to the sacred cause of God and hainauity. The Populist convention at Cinciu nati during the present month was one "f the most important gatherings of men and women that ever assembled upon this earth. It marks the begin ning of anew era, in which men aud women shall be free in fact as well as in name. The work of that convention finds a response in the hearts of the people in every nook and corner of this broad laud. It has blazed the way to a higher and grander civilization, and the peo ple will not ba slow in rallying around the standard there set up. The pro ceedings of that convention should be placed in the hands of every voter. In Georgia the Populists have met iu State convention aud presented to the people a platform of principles to which no man honest in his demands for re form can object. Upon that platform, pledged to its enactment into law and its enforcement among the people, has been placed a ticket, asking for the suf frages 01 the people, which has never had a superior in the State in point of ability, integrity and patriotism. En trusted wuh the legal power or the State, the Populist party will inangu rate every reform it has promised. And who will say that reform in our State, as well as notional, government is not absolutely necessary to the preserv tion of the liberty and iudepence of the citi zens? In mauy of the counties in Georgia the Populists have already local tickets in the field for the county officer Oth ers have issued calls, and still others are organizing for the fray. It is uot at all a stretch of the imagination to predict that the Populist vote in this State will be this fall the largest ever polled by odds. The enthusiasm of the workers, the exceedingly bad and unsatisfactory con dition of public affairs as administered by the politicians, all go to encourage and strengthen the faith of the old time reformers. Taken all together, the outlook for the future of the reform movement was never so bright as now. The mask is being torn from the politicians and they stand today before the people in their tru light- false to every pledge and promise false to the trust confided by the people; true only to their own am bition for spoils and power, and agents and servants of the trusts and the ma nipulators of the wealth of the nation Cure Cold in Head. Kermott s Chocolates Laxative Quinine, easy to take and quick to cure cold in bead and sore throat. The Career Of Wharton Barker. I Wharton Barker was born in Phila delphia May l, 1846. He is of Puritan- Quaker extraction. Jacob Barker, his grandfather, and Benjamin Franklin were cousins. Wharton Barker is A. B. aud A. M., University of Pennsylvania. He is an active member of its board of trustees, member of the American Philosophical Sooiety, Academy of Natural Sciences aud the History Society of Pennsyl vania. For twenty-five years he has been active in letters, business and politics. From 1870 to 1880 he was ed itor and proprietor of the Pennsyl vania Monthly, and from 1880 to 1800 was editor and publisher of the Ameri can. He has traveled iu all parts of the world. Iu 1878 the Russian gov ernment. placed him in charge of cruis ers building in America at Cramp’s shipyard. In 1879 Emperor Elexander II conferred upon him the Order of St. Stanislaus. Iu 1875 he was called in consultation by the Chinese ambas sador in regard to railroad building in China, a modern system of national finance and a general plan for the util ization of the resources of China. Since 1876 he has taken an active part in politics. In 1880 he was forp most among those who secure l the nomination of Garfield for President. He supported Harrison in 1888 and Bryan in 1896, but immediately after the election that year he joined the People’* party. He urges trade expan sion on national line* and opposes ter ritorial expansion in the Orient. He was among the first advocates of free trade among the American countries.— The Popnlist Journal. Last fall I snraiued my left hip while handling some heavy boxes. The doc tqr I called on said at first it was a slight strain and would soon be well, but it grew worse and the doctor then said I had rheumatism. It continued to grow worse and I could hardly get around to work. I went to a drugstore and the druggist recommended me to try Chamberlain'B Pain Balm. I tried it and one-half of a 50 cent bottle cured me entirely. 1 now recommend it to a’l my friends —F. A B.vbcock, Erie, Pa. It is for sale by Winder Drug Cos. Read and Think. * There is a certain lumber company situated on the line of the P. & G. road that taps the best lumbar regions of Arkansas and the south. A few years ago its bookkeeper was found to be crooked. in his accounts —being short about $30,000. An expert accountant was called in. Tbe state of affairs was demonstrated. The president of the company said to the derelict: “This will place you behind the bars.” The de faulter coolly replied: “Well, while I look out of one jair of bars, you will look out of the pair across the hall.” The bookkeeper still holds his place. The expert accountant who examined the books told me that tbe lumber com pany had been receiving rebates from the railroad of $5 a car on all lumber shipped out of the lumber regions, whether the said lumber company ship ped it or not 1 Clearly a violation of the U S. law, and that is what the de faulter knew aud why he still holds his place. If the government had owned aud operated the railroads such rebates could not be made unless the whole conutry knew it and the congressman who would vote for such rebate would not have a thing done to him! Bat such are the beauties of private owner ship in every field of industry, and that is why one set of men “succeed” where honest fellows fail. This expert said that one lumber company put several thousand dollars of its stock in the hands of oertain railroad officials, a present, that it might get the favors from the road that self-interest wouli induce the holders of the stock to make. And the lumber oom any paid a dividend of 160% a year! And the public footed the bill.—Appeal to Reason. A CARD OF THANKS.

Goddess of Liberty, listen; Listen, I say, and look, To the sonnds and sights of sorrow This side of Sandy Hook. Your eye is searching the distance; Yen are holding your torch too high To see the staves who are fettered. Though oiose at your feet tney lie; Aud the cry of the suffering stranger Has reached your oar and your breast, But yon heed not the wail that comes From the haunts of your own oppress ed. Goddess of Liberty, follow; Follow me where I lead; Come down into the sweatshop Aud look on the work of greed; Look on the faces of children Old before they were born; Look on the haggard women, Of all gex graces shorn; Look on the men—God help ui If this is what it means To beman iu the land of freedo a And live like mere machines! Goddess of Liberty, answer; How can the slaves of Spain Find freedom under your banner While your own still wear the chain? Loud is the screech of the eagle, And boastful the voice of your drums. But they do uot silence the wail of de spair, That rises out of your slams. What wtH yo do with your conquests how Bha ‘l your hosts be fed, While our streets are filled with desper ate throng--!, * Crying for work or bread? Public Ownership. Hie British traveling men have in augurated a campaign for the public ownership of the English railroads. They are carrying their convictions into politic*. One of the great railroa 1 owners says: “The British railways have no fear of nationalization. The theory is altogether etherial. ’’ A member of the London Chamber of Commerce is reported by the cablt-; Taking over the railroads would involve a larger sua than the national debt; but apart from that consideration, the in fluence of the railways is so powerful that they conld throttle any attempt at legislation to destroy their monopoly.” So you see that monopoly is a fact, aud that it will bribe to keep its privilege. This Chamber of Commerce man pre s ;nts an objection thut the purchase will involve too much debt—just as if it were better for the public to hire the capital from the railroads aud have no control over it, than to borrow it out right aud control ii! The public pays the railroads more divodeus than it would for interest on the debt to absorb the roads. Bat privilege always acts thus. The railroads in this ooautry are the same thing, and the result will be that some flue morning they will wake up like the slave owners of 40 years ago to realize that the people have taken the roads and without paying a cent. That is just what the democratic and republican voters will do as surely as thc<y did it to the chattel masters. Things are getting to an interesting stage in this country as in England.— Ex. One day last week, after the judge had charged the jury in a certain Ten nessee county not far away, a member of the jury devoutly arose and calling the judge and jury alike to prayer, of fered a fervent petition to the Judge of all the earth to guide the jury in all its diliberations. There are some people, too, who regard this action as of doubt ful propriety. If more juries prayed, fewer jaries would bluuder. —Cumber- land Presbyterian. HIS LIFE WAS SAVED. Mr. J. E. Lilly, a prominent citizen of Hannibal, Mo., lately had a wonder ful deliverauce from a frightful death. In telling of it he says: "I was taken with Typhoid Fever, that ran into Pneumonia. My lungs became hard ened. I was so weak I couldn’t even sit up in bed. Nothing helped me. I expected to soon die of Consumption, when I heard of Dr. King’s New Dis covery. One bottle gave great relief. I continued to use it, and now am well and strong, I can’t say too much in its praise.” This marvellous medicine is the surest and quickest erne in the world for all Throat and Lung Trouble.
