The railn ails >f lliis country have already ordered 2o,000 new freights ears, at a cost of #10,000,000, and a very large part of that goes into the pockets of wage earners. It is announced that the publication of the Daily Press, Tom Watson’s Populist organ, will he resumed in At¬ lanta October 1. It is mean to thus ignore the services of tlu* Constitu¬ tion. As the names of Ocala and Omaha are still accepted as synonyms of pop¬ ulism and damphoolism, so will Griffin come to he known as the pest-house of the free silver plague in Georgia. Macon News. We have stood Ity the president through thick and thin, lint we ure now forced to admit that the arrival of a third girl buhy in the executive household is a mighty poor example from a party standpoint.- Macon News. , 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? A bov in Kansas was pulling a do-* along the road bv a rope. The bin* ' called to his dog: “Come along, Pop you ornery cuss.” A bystander asked him why he called the dog Pop. short." answered the hoy. “What’s his full name?" “Populist,” answer¬ ed the boy. “Why call him Populist?" asked the stranger. “Well, sir," the hoy said, “because he is just like a Populist. He's the orrervest dog m He ain't worth a dura ouly j on his Fail and howl!" Tom Wat HOI i advises tlm populists to go to (lit; Griffin free silver conven lion and altiliate with the “dissatisfied ilunuH-ratH.” II.- my. bt. |.wtv 1 In, - nothin'; to lose bv ?t % and might gain nerent i’ciI. Hut Mr. Watson, boss, it is presumed, gives them to un derstand that no principle must be we rilied. ‘-Our party,” writes lie, “will eountenanee no fusion with either of the Old parties.” This grand mogul of the populists sees a rare chance , to . make converts at (JriHiu, and ho says; “ Democrats will listen to our speeches as they never did i i! before; < will ii realize |. that they have been misled, etc., etc. —will gradually ■ comprehend 1 the umnz mg proiHirtions 1 of their want of inf'or mation. He goes on to predict that these , “dissatisfied democrats will liemu . to look upon organized . democracy with distrust and , will end by regarding it • ” with hatred and contempt. —Macon Telegraph. 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. If you want to know how the free silver craze is gaining!?) ground in this state, read most any other paper than tlu* Atlanta Coustipopulist. For in¬ 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 county’s 20.000 population; at Rome Floyd's .‘52,000 population was repre rented by forty persons; at Madison three men—one Democrat and two Populists—had the presumption to rep¬ resent the whole of Morgan county. Great Scott ! What a miraculous growth of free silver sentiment. Isn't the appointment of so many Po P uliste to the Grilfin convention a * trikin S evidence that its object is a Populist measure, and a tacit admis si,ui that the cause is so weak in the Democratic party that its friends seek co-operation of the Pops'? That’s tin way its looks to a man up a tree. What's those “prominent” Democrats | who affiliate with Populists at Griffin 411 a Populist measure going to do ! when the Democratic party refuses to , endorse it, and they are called upon to ;m account of themselves ? i from ilium Ithiiiiiu'* Mill.

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. A Much Traveled Man. Jacksonville, Fla.. July 9, 1894. For the last forty years I have been troubled with a torpid liver ou account of travels through different tropical cli¬ mates.
