In view of the fact that about half
the delegates so far chosen to attend
tin* silver convention at Griffin are
Populists, an exchange suggests that
the delegates in attendance on the
free silver convention might save un¬
necessary expense by attending to tlu*
business of the next Populist state con¬
vention then and there
Advices from Ohio and Indiana, the
principal sources from which the mar
kets are supplied with hay, are to the
effect that tlu* hay crop will prove
almost an entire failure, a protracted
dry spell having cut short the supply.
Forage of all kinds will be in demand
this fall at good prices, and the farm¬
ers will do well to give their attention
to the saving of all kinds of rough
feed.
The Albany Herald notices that
“some very strange and funny things
arc allowed to go on sometimes. The
income tax was found unconstitutional
and was knocked into a cocked hat.
The ten per cent, tax on state banks
is unjust and unconstitutional, hut is
allowed to stand because they say ’
they don’t know what to do about it.”
If the law is unconstitutional why can
ii not be disposed of by a tost case, as
was the income tax law?

Ex-Governor Noi l lien's colonization
plans are now an assured success.
Fifty thousand immigrants will settle
in Georgia at once. Before the week
is out more than .*100,0( 0 will have
been paid for ahold .‘50,009 acres of
land in Irwin and Wilci x counties for
the purpose of forming th reon a col¬
ony of old soldiers and their families
from the north. This is not all the
land that is to be purcha ed by some
fifty or sixty thousand acres, and there
will lu* someting like #150,000 used
for the purpose of making improve¬
ments on the properties and giving
the new town a handsome start.
Many of the. immigrants who desire to
bring their cattle and horses with
them will make the long trip from the
northeast in wagons. The colony will
also bring its own newspapers and
hanking institutions.
Those Populists and silver Demo¬
crats who claim to he Jeffersonian in
their principles should read again
these words of this great author of
democracy. Jefferson said: “Just
principles will lead us to disregard
legal proportions altogether; to inquire
into the market price of gold in the
several countries with which we shall
principally be connected in commerce,
and to take an average from them.
The proportion between the values of
gold and silver is a mercantile prob¬
lem altogether." Since the great de¬
cline in the commercial value of silver
the business ratio is more (ban JO to
1. With this fact staring them in the
face the silver advocates want the
coinage ratio still to remain at 10 to 1.
A call for a meeting of “the friends
of bimetalism,” who favor the free and
unlimited coinage of silver at a ration
of 1(5 to 1, in Fort Gaines to-morrow,
has been issued. It has been clearly
shown that the free coinage of silver
at such a ratio would result in the
withdrawal of gold from circulation
and amount practically to silver mono¬
metallism. How, then, one who favors
such ratio can be classed “a friend to
bimetalism” we do not understand.
The meeting is called for the purpose
of electing delegates to the silver con¬
vention at Griffin, and as there is
nothing to the contrary said in the
call, we presume Populists will be
permitted to take part in the meeting,
as has been done all over the state.

silver craze is gaining!?) ground in this

stance note the attendance at the va
lions meetings held this week to elect
delegates to the Griffin convention.
At Atlanta forty-seven persons met to
speak for over 100,000 population in
Fulton county; at Athens thirty-two
persons pretended to represent Clarke

three men—one Democrat and two

M. M. was one of a large, number of
Miss Ilortense Gilbert’s friends that
attended a farewell entertainment at
Mr. E. J. Days last Tuesday night.
The time was spent pleasantly, the
only drawback being the thought that
another night Miss ilortense would
not he among us, hut instead would lie
sailing up the river to her home, where
we know she will receive a joyful wel¬
come from her loved ones, who we
know have sadly missed her charming
presence for Jie last live months. She
wil tie greatly missed by her numerous
friends here. But we wish for her a
pleasant trip and a warm welcome
home and hope she will gladden our
hearts by returning in the near future.
