Have you registered?
i
Be sure and register if you want to
vote.
It is generally believed now that the
foreign ministers at PekiQ are out of
danger.
King Humbert, of Italy, was assassi
nated at Monza last Sunday night by
an anarchist.
When you go to court next week and
the week after it will be a good time for
you to register.
CoL Traylor, the Fopulist nominee
for governor, is one of the best men in
the state for that high office.
If you have not registered you should
do so at once. If you are at Jefferson
court any, attend to this important
matter.
When you register be cettaln and see
that your initials are down correctly so
that there will be no trouble about it
when you go to vote.
It is to be regretted that the county
School Commissioner of Gwinnett coun
ty, as well as those in a number of
counties in Georgia, has developed into
a partisan politician. When a man oc
cupying such an exalted and important
a position as sohool commissioner gets to
be a ward politician and so extremely
partisan that he will use his position to
influence or intimidate those under him,
he robs himself of that respect and dig
nity to which his position entitles him.
Georgia needs more big and less LIT
TLE men than she ever needed before.
M. D. Irwin ’ Nominated.
The Populist Senatorial convention
of this district, composing the counties
of Jackson, Hall and Banks, met at
Maysville yesterday and nominated
Col. M. D Irwin unanimously as our
standard bearer. There is no more rep
resentative man in the district than
Col. M. D. Irwin and he will be elected
by a good majority as the next senator
from the 331 senatorial district.
Every man should advocate clean
politics and fair and honest elections.
If yon would hasten the downfall of
trusts it will be necessary to work for
the public ownership of public utilities,
the most efftc'ive method of work is to
vote your convictions; you can do that
effectually by voting for Barker and
Donnelly.
The government better own railroads
than islands; better own telegraphs than
cannibals; better own telephones than
tropical beasts and jungles; better have
postal savings banks than yellow fever
—Chicago Record.
Support and vote for Barker, and
Donnelly and you will assist in building
up a public sentiment in its favor.
We never understood what practical
use the Sioux Falls convention could be
put to by anybody, until the Democrat
ic convention assembled iu Kansas City.
Then it was clear to any casual observ
er that the Butler-AUen side show en
abled Bryan to whip tbe recalcitrant
conservatives into the 16 to 1 traces.
The “peerless leader” having one nom
ination at his back and a surplus run
ning mate iu the person of Towne, sim-
ply said, "If you don’t rewrite 16 to 1
iuyour platfoim, I won’t serve as your
figurehead in this canvass.” Had there
never been any Sioux Falls| convention
the Nebraska would not
have dared to the usually uuternfied,
but this time, the Kansas City crowd
understood, that if they refused to yield
to Bryan’s dictation he would formally
accept the Sioux Falls nomination. But
for this in our opinion the Democraric
delegates, when Bryan’s ultimatum was
reoeived, would have told him to go to
that country which is reputed to be
hotter than a Democratic convention
hall in mid summer.
The gold-bugs acquiesced iu an unu
sually cheerful manner, because they
understood a second race of Bryan on
such a platform would bury bim too
deep for resurrection, and they are am
bitious to accomplish this end.—Ex.
Sulphur a Cure
For Diphtheria.
A correspondent of a Victoria paper
writes: Should you or any of your
family be attacked with Diphtheria, do
not be alarmed, as it is easily and speed
ily cured without a doctor.
When it was raging in England a few
years ago, I accompanied Dr. Fields on
his rounds to witness the so-called won
derful cures he performed while the
patients of others were dropping on all
sides. The remedy to be so rapid must
be simple. All he toox with him was
powder and a quill, and with those he
cured every patient. He put a tea
spoonfull of flour of brimstone into a
wine glass of water and stired in with
his finger instead of spoon, as the sul
phur does not readily amalgamate with
water. When the Bulphur was well
mixed, he gave it as a gargle and in ten
miuutes the patient was out of danger.
Brimstone kills out every Bpecies of
fungus tn man, beast or plant in a few
minutes. Instead of spitting out the
gargle he recommended the swallowing
of it. In extreme cases, in which he
had been called in the nick of time,
when the fungus was too nearly closed
to allow the gargling, he blew the sul
phur through a quill into the patients
throat and after the fungus had shrnnx
to allow it, then the gargling. He nev
er lost a patient from diphtheria If a
patient cannot gargle, take a live coal,
put it on a shovel, and sprinkle a spoon
ful or two of flour of brimstone upon it
at a time; let the sufferer inhale it, and
the fungus will die. If plentifully used
the whole room may be filled almost to
sufflcation; the patient can walk about
in it, inhaling the fumes, with the doors
and windows shut. The mode of fu
migating a room with sulphur has often
cured most violent attacks of ooid in the
head, chest, etc,, at any time and is
recommended for consumption aud
asthma.—Ex.
Proportional
Representation.
The little country of Belgium set the
whole world an example, when in its
elections Sunday last it put into opera
tion the principle of proportional rep
resentation.
Students of this great principle in
government will not believe the faith
of the newspapers of Brussels superla
tive when they declare that its complete
adoption will destroy political partisan
ship and political jealousies and hatreds.
The gratifying sign of the times is
that all the parties represented in the
political life of the people of that coun
try, as represented by the press, unite
in declaring in its favor.
That the action of Belgium, attend
ed as it has been by such signal success
and universal satisfaction, may stimu
late our own National Proportional
Representation league to greater activ
ity is our hope. Proportional represen
tation is the ideal system of democratic
government. It gives eveiy element in
the social life of the community and
nation just that degree of representa
tion in public life to which its size and
influence entitles it.
Instead of having the country in the
hands of one or the other of the two
great parties, as now it is, the country
would be ever in the hands of the peo
ple, each element of any numerical
strength having at all times its propor
tionate voice and authority. Belgium
is not the first country to adopt propor
tional representation. Switzeland and
New Zealand, we believe, have for
yaars practiced it to the satisfaction of
everybody except the professional poli
ticians. No other reform in our own
electoral system, perhaps, would pro
duce results more far-reaching and ben
eficial than that of proportional repre.
sentation-—Farmer’s Voice.
The question every populist should
ask himself is this: Shall the party or
ganized to check and destroy monopoly
aud curb the power of colossal aggrega
tions of capital and preserve a govern
ment of the people, by the people, be
abandoned or maintained? And shall
the battle begun by the production class
against the corporation-ridden old par
ties be continued until the country is
redeemed from the domination of trusts
aud the money power, or shall the pop
ulists join the democratic party for the
mere sake of spoils of office? —True Pop
ulist.
Down in Mississippi the Democracy
count out an objectionable candidate at
the primary, but up in Tennessee they
wait until the nomination is made and
then accuse him of being disloyal to the
p-a-r t y and have the executive com
mittee to remove him and substitute
his defeated opponent. Such a case
has just occured in the Memphis dis
trict and we are curious to see how the
episode will terminate.—Okolona Mes

National Platform.
The People’s Party of the United
States, assembled in national conven
tion this tenth day of May, ISOO, affirm
ing our uushokon belief ia the cardinal
tenets oj the People’s Party, as setforth
in Omaha platform, and pledging oar
selves anew to continued advocacy of
those grand principles of human liberty
until right shall trinmph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and pro
claim this declaration of faith:
First—We demand the initiative and
referendum and the imperative man
date for such changes of existing fun
damental and statute law as will ena
ab'e the people in their sovereign ca
pacity to propose and compel the enact
ment of such laws as they desire; to re
ject snch as they deem injurious to their
interests and to recall unfaithful public
servants.
Second—We demand the public own
ership and operation of those means of
communication, transportation aud pro
duction which the people may elect,
such as railroads, telegraph and tele
phone lines, coal mines, etc.
Third—The land, including all natur
all sources of wealth, is heritage of the
people, and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes, and ali?n own
ership of land should be prohib.ted. All
land now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs, and all lauds now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the Gov
ernment and held for actual settlers
only.
Fourth—A scientific and absolute pa
per money, based upon the entire
wealth and population of the nation not
redeemable in any specifio commodity,
bat made a fall legal tender for all debts
and receivable for all taxes and public
dues and issued by the Government
only without the intervention of banks,
and in sufficient quantity to meet the
demand of commerce, is the best cur
rency that can be devised; but until
such a fiuaucial system is secured,
which we shall press for adoption, we
favor the free aud unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ratio of
16 to 1. , ,
Fifth—We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on incomes
and inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same, if nec
essary. .
Sixth—We demand the election ol
President, Vice President, Federal
judges and United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
Seventh—We are opposed to trusts
and declare the o intention between the
old parties on the monopoly question is
a sham battle aud that no solution of
this mighty problem is possible without
the adoption of the principles of public
ownership of publiO_utllities.
