Yoor Undo Billy Xorthen didn’t exactly stop the light, but he “most!” It I lie democratic party is in half the shape some of thccalamity howl ers say it is, it’s in a devil of a fix. W are glad that all known candidates for gubernatorial honors are nice and worthy men, so that we can all cheerful ly indorse the nominee. Where is Governor Mitchell “at?” Where is Genera! Northen “at?” Where it Charlie Mitchell “at?” ???????!??????????? Greed ot employers to grow rich has had more to do with reducing wa ges in this country than fear of t ar il!' legislation.—New nan Heraid. An exchange says: “Mr. Smith came in last week and laid an egg, weighing four ounces, ou our table.” We expect soon to hear of Mr. Smith setting around the table. T iic Democratic party is not perfect by no means, but it is the best fiiend " age earners, producers and consum ers, the three pillars of national pros perity, have.—Alpharetta Free Press. Shut up about Hawaii and pass the \\ ilson tarill bill. The Republicans and sore-heads have lots of time ahead in which to perfect Stevens’ robbery and complete the blot on the escutch e(,n.—Waynesboro True Citzen, A Democratic caucus of the house has declared that the income tax must take its chances with the Wilson tar ifl bill. That is right. It is now a part of the Democratic revenue policy, and the whole scheme should stand or fall together. It will stand, however. Anew society has been gotten up in Jacksonville, called The Law and Order League. Tlmir purpose is to punish the abettors and instigators of the recent prize fight iu that city. They have made cases against the prin cipals, Corbett and Mitchell, and will prosecute them to the full extent of the law, For the first time in the history of both papers, the Constitution and Journal favor the same candidate for gover ior. Whether this means there is “sugar in the gourd,’’ or is a sure sigu of defeat for their man, remains io be seen. One thing is certain, its very, very, strange, and they’re not in the habit of doing these things simply *or tun, you know. Corbett and Sullivan are two of the best men in the world, physically, which show* that we have the most eonfenial environment# the world can afford to de velop human powers, and physical supe riority makes mental giants, possibly, and as an evidence that we have them in our midst, we respectfully refer you to the editors of the weekly papers through out the state. Why, they even rise so far above themselves as to exclaim in un selfish style: “We would advise the far mers to plant corn in the spring and sow wheat, turnips, and other vegetables in the fall.” Cummings, congressman from New York, proposes a bond issue iu de nominations of twenty dollars, to be sold to the people at the money order postoffices. The bonds to bear inter est at the rate of 3 per cent, and to be redeemable at the pleasure of the gov ernment after ten years. This would be issuing money as directly to the people as could bs doue. The bonds would be absolutely safe, but men iu this county are used to getting more than 3 per cent, and we don't know w hether the people would buy the bonds or not. There are some papers and people in Georgia, claim ng to be Democrat ic, who are as eager to find fault with and injure the democratic administra tion a? the bitterest repubucan organ or politician is. They go out of their way to fight the administratou. They pervert its utterances and purposely misconstrue its acts. To all purposes they are republican. It would be more straightforward in them to join the republican party.—Eatonton Messenger. REUBEN, I’VE BEEN THINKING.

For ‘.he information of those interested in the gubernatorial contest, our Junior, on Tuesday of this week, polled 100 citi zens of Jackson, for the purpose of find ing out how they stood in the race for governor. The poltw as entirely impartial to either side, the men were asked as we came to them,' and no preference was shown either party. The Aegus is for the best man in this scramble for office, and as we know nothing personal of General Avan*, and a great deal less of Colonel Atkinson, it is reasonable to suppose that our views iu the matter are entirely im partial, and if it was left with us, we feel no hesitancy in saying the next governor of Georgia would bs a man with whom we are more fully acquainted. Yet, be yond all reasons ©f a doubt either of the present candidates is capable of filling the office in & satisfactory manner, with jus tice to all concerned, and though the Abocs has never yet committed it*-eif for either, we shall abide by the nomination and exert our influence in favor of the nominee. Out of the 100 citizens polled, we found 58 for AtkiDson, 32 for Evans, and 10 non committal. And duiing our round it was very suggestive from the answers given, that the young democracy is for yltkiuson, heart and soul, while the older democrats are for Avans, teeth and toe nail. I low it stands out ride of Jackson we are not able to state, but from a conversational point of view, we find that Gen, Evans has a strong following among the Confed erate soldiers of this section, and while hi* war record may have a tendency to give him numerous votes iu our county, the gentlemanly qualities and intellectual powers of his opponent, coupled with the valiant services he has rendered to the democratic party during Ibe past few years wiil no doubt balance up accounts with the General, and it will take a per sou who is better versed in matkematic s than ourselves, to figure up who will come out victor in the end. IFe feel justified in saying, however, that Georgia has the best gubernatorial timber in this contest that has ever been offered for office on a similar occasion, and the friends of the defeated shall have a consolation of know - ing that as good a man was voted down as was ever pe:c’jed upon the judgment seat of justice 1 NORTHEN ASA GENERAL. On Wednesday night last, at an hour when gi aye-yards yawn and the lonely owl hoots his loudest, when living humanity was peacefully slum bering ia gentle repose, and little dreaming of the tumuUuous outbreak that was hourly threatening our law abiding and dignified state, our Gov ernor might have been seen wending bis way through the swarnps and sterilo fields of Southern Georgia, dishonoring the soil of our state by surrounded by as “squerry” a band of warriors as was ever called together for the purpose of quelling a slugging match. The governor’s corning was not heralded by the booming of cannon nor aD extensive display of fireworks but he was there, just the same, can non or no cannon, and his objective point was to put a quietus to Corbett and Mitchell forever deiatning and having a slugging match upon it. All nightlong and part of the next day, did the vigilant governor sur rounded by his band of warriors, anx* ously await the coming of those noted pugilists, but did they come? Nixey! Did they have any idea of coming? Nixey ! Do you suppose that they could haye taken out a search warrant and found the governer clown in those cane brakes, surrounded by his brave and couitly warriors, if they had taken a notion to come over? Nixey ! But true to his duty, through l unger and thirst, he sat and counted the hours, only relinquishing his vig ilance to adjust the spyglass that he might more fully inspect the sur. roundings and get a mere extensive view of the situation ? Little did he dream that while his couriers were flying hither and yon transporting orders, ammunition, and rations, that Corbett was pounding Mitchell into a jelly right iu the heartof Jacksonville 1 But hark! a messenger approaches bearing with him the glad intelligence that our country is saved ! II a I Ila! they have fought! Victory isour.i! And the governor’s long and tedious wait, was only excelled by the quick manner in which lie marshalled bis warriors and returned to Atlanta ! Notice —This one act of service for the Georgia militia has amply repaid the last legislature for not voting them enough money to loaf around during encampment as guests of the state. And Governor William J. Northen is covered all over with glory ! A rooster fight has been arranged for up in Timbuctoo, just above north Rome. Governor Northen, however, has been notified, and has got the po lice and a posse of white caps guard ing the Possum Trot rangers until his arrival. Our war governor proposes to lead the charge and suppress the rebellion.— Hostler ot Rome. An effort is being made to get Hon. E, J. Reagan of Henry to run for con gress. He would make a congress man worth a hundred of Cabauiss. Reagau is a Democrat.—Hale’s Weekly. Some people talt about restoring money to a sound basis by further con tracting it. They mightjnst as well talk about putting flesh on a half starved hog by reducing his feed. Woodbury Megsenger. GOLD-BUG FINANCEERING. J. R. Randall, in one of his ad mirable Washington letters to the Augusta Herald, giv*s the follow ing insight into the financial condi tion of the country and the methods by which it has been reached. The financial committee of the senate does not fancy Secretary Carlisle’s attempt to saddle upon i*s responsibility f >r the present condi tion of the treasury. The senate does not originate bills and has to wait for the house. Besides this, if the secretary is at last determined to issue bonds, lie had the same right to do so last spring that he has now. The fact is the president and secretary miscalculate the ex tent of the deficit. Asa practical man says : “These gentlemen had a theory. They thought that the repeal of the purchasing clause of the silver law would reyive business. They wore absolutely mistaken, i l.e results show what little concep tion the administration has of its operations as aflecting the busi ness interest of the country. It was certain that they did notappre ciate last spring, that their action would precipitate a panic. They did not recognize the fact that the repeat of the Sherman law had little or nothing to do with that disaster or the ruin which followed it. They thought business would recover and the treasury receipts would ex ceed the expenditure now instead of running $184,000,000 behind in January and February as Mr. Car lisle now officially estimates.’’ I may as well state, in passing, that the above statement is deliber ately made by a “goldbug,” whose candor is proverbial. Of course, the republicans attrib ute present stagnation to tariff ag itation. You mav perhaps remem ber that during the silver debate, I wrote to you that when the republi cans helped to put the country on a gold standard, they would wheel around, repudiate the idea that the silver purchases had caused the panic, and settle upon tariff changes as the cause of continued disaster. This is exactly what they are doing now. And now “where are we at?’* We are on a gold basis fnd for the first time since Buchanan’s presi dency, about to issue bonds to pay the ordinary expenses of one of the richest and most enterprising countries in the world. Tf this is a favorable position to go before the country, at the ballot box, next No vember, I tail to see P, lam bound to say that my apprehension is shared by only too many demo crats. A DReAM. We ate rather heartily, retired early and dreamed that the populist had been victorious in national affairs, and we saw wagons drive up and un load cotton, corn, and non perishable crops generally, and draw their money from the government warehouse. The money was in large sheets like postage stamps, all perforated, but minus glue. The officer, or one of his clerk®, would tear off the right num ber and give it to the farmer, and he would give it to the merchant for his note, and the merchant would return it lo the savings bank, whose clerk would cancel it like a post master docs his stamp, and give the mer chant a bond to honor his demand whenever presented. And the farmer who owed it all, would go home like he does now, and the one who did not would get a bond for it. It had to be canceled, and we wondered what was the difference to the tanners. There was only one place to weigh and no man asked the price of cotton, which was fixed by tne government, and all got the same price. One or two merchants agreed to take cotton for what was due them, and they were immediately arrested as counter feiters and put in the penitentiary with Redwine. Early iu the spring the president wroteto the queen of England : “I have 7,000,000 bales of cotton to furnish you for your people, whenever you will name a satisfactory price.” The poor in England were all idle and starving. The next fall all of the crop was on hand and cotton went to three ceuts a pound, aud so the poor of both ceuutries suffered while tbt two nations quarreled. JBut how happy we were when we awoke and found ourselves in a country where competition is legitimate and personal rights are respected. No paternalism in ours. Give uh -The land of the free and the home of the brave.” Judge J. D. Stewart died at his home in Griffin, on the 23th of last menfcb. Judge Stewart was well known through out this entire state, and was a man rec- all who knew him as one worthy of their admiration. In addition to his services as law maker, he was a great light in the Baptist church, of which he was a member aud a leading minister. He rose from poverty and ob scurity to a high place amoDg our emi nent men, and oould have secured any office within the power of our people to bestow upon him. GUANO! GUANO! JACKSON HUGH GRADE!
