EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
The tax on firms dealing in futures
in Georgia has been raised from $500
to $10,000. This is a black eye for
futures.
Those who do not Ix-liove that the
Alliance aims to form a third party,
we refer them to President Polk's
statement in annthor column.
Polk, MeCune and Livingston were
all censured at the recent National
Alliance convention for their action
in the Georgia Senatorial race.
President Polk, of the Alliance,
say* “Ben” Harrison and “Jim”
Blaine. He will give these two dis¬
tinguished gentlemen to understand
that he is some “punkin” himself.
The Alliance retained MeCnnc in
the high office of chairman of the
national legislative committee, not¬
withstanding he is covered with sus¬
picion, both in and out of the order.
The National Alliance convention
passed resolutions condemning the
force bill. The people are against
the force bill, and tile autocrats will
find it out to their sorrow in the near
future.
President Polk, of the Alliance,
says he is nearer the farmers of the
South than any man, and that he
knows that the Democratic party can
no longer control them. We hope
the gentleman is mistaken.
Livingston showed great progress
in his financial ideas at the Ocala
convention. lie was broad enough
to ask the convention to extend the
sub-treasury plan to all merchanta¬
ble products instead of farm prod¬
ucts, but the convention did not en¬
courage his progress.
One Mr. Rittonhouse and Secretary
Blaine have been juggling on the Al¬
liance vote in '92. Rittenhouse is
private secretajy of L. L. Folk, pres¬
ident of the National Alliance, and
James G. Blaine is the most promi¬
nent leader in tho Republican party.
The trade in detail* will appear later.
There is a sensation in Georgia
just now concerning the lease of the
State road. It is in doubt as to
whethor or not the State and the old
lessees can make a settlement with¬
out going into tho courts, and if such
be the case the State will not be able
to turn over the road to the new les¬
sees unencumbered the first of Janu¬
ary, which would release the new
lessees from their obligation.
One of the delegates to the Na¬
tional Alliance convention closed a
speech in opposition to the sub-treas¬
ury bill thus: “We must never lose
sight of this principle, that the United
States government lias no money ex¬
cept that it raises by taxation from
the people, and the purpose for
which that money is raised is not to
loan out, but to defray the necessary
expenses of the government.”
Larry Gantt used very poor judg¬
ment when he tackled Editor Craig,
of the Jackson Herald. Editor Craig
may be a little too pugnacious at
times, but lie makes his tights in a
manly way and plainly from convic¬
tion, while Larry i* conspicuously the
opposite while fighting an opponent.
The editor who is as unmanly as
Larry, and sends out as niueh edito¬
rial slush as lie, should be lashed on
all side* just in the way that Craig
has done it.
Dr. MeCune secured a loan of
$2,000 from Pat Calhoun just before
the Senatorial election, giving as col¬
lateral a check on the Economist’s
bank account, but admits himself that
the paper had nothing to its credit at
the time. These facts w’ere brought
out by a committee of investigation
at the National Alliance convention,
McCmie's untiring work in behalf
Calhoun for Senator, and
this amount of money from Fat with-
out good collateral looks very
cious. Others doubtless
but have not been caught up with.
The Third Party Move.
Ever since the Alliance as an order
entered politics and formulated plat-
fnrms the formation of anew pohti-
cal party lias seemed to be inevitable.
The leaders in the order have all
alo "S d ‘ nied ,hc ,hird P art V fvatnr *’
-
\j Ut rC r 01 ,t developments places the
matter beyond doill.t, as the Natioiml
Alliance convention which has J jllst
dosed # in Oosla, Fla., was made up
of delegates that represented the sen¬
timent* of the entire order, and they
lar Y‘‘ 1 v fnv<m ' d i( •
-
The North and West were both
ready for the organization of a third
party, and the race problem was all
that kept the South from consenting,
President Polk and Met 'line are both
favorable to the movement. Living¬
ston is *oft on the matter, and would
doubtless be more outspoken in its
favor hut he fears his constituency at
home. It i* to be hoped that the
South will ding to Democracy, for
the greatest calamity that could be¬
fall our fast developing country i* a
division in the ranks of her white
people. Col. Livingston expressed
himself while speaking of the South's
final action as regard* the independ¬
ent movement, that the Democrats
would yet accept the Alliance plat¬
form*, and that there would be no
room for division. In this Col. Liv¬
ingston talks to hear himself. De¬
mocracy has never yet abandoned
her platforms to accept others, and it
is unreasonable to expect her to at
this late day, after fighting the bat¬
tles of the people in and out of sea¬
son for so long a time. From the
nature of the political situation the
Alliancemcn of the South will in the
near future be forced to do one of
two things. They will have to either
accept Democratic platform* and
keep the white people united, or form
an independent party and divide the
white people.
The Status of the Alliance.
President Polk has the following
to say considering the political status
of the Alliance:
“I fail to sec any evidence that
either ot' the old political parties is
attempting to influence the Alliance
politically, or creating dissention in
its ranks. If such influences were at
work, I think I would have seen it.
It is not true, in my opinion, that
they control or can control the South¬
ern members of the Alliance. I know
that the party harness never hung so
loosely upon the people as now. If
the Democrats in the Fifty-second
congress do not grant our demand*,
the third party is inevitable, and the
Southern Democratic Alliancemcn
will he in it. 1 know what I am talk¬
ing about in making that statement.
No man is nearer the people in the
Southern Alliance than I am, and I
know tliat I represent them correctly
when 1 say they are determined to
gain the end they are striving for,
and will not hesitate to smash the
Democratic or any party which tights
them.
“At the same time the Alliance is
not going to endorse the third party
or any other, now or in the future.
Does the action of to-day look like
the Democrats control ? We reiter¬
ated every one of our demands and
there were only three votes against
the financial plan. The question was
discussed in every possible manner
for four hours, and there was no sign
of weakening in the ranks.
“Yes, it is true that the sub-treas¬
ury plan does not contain the 80 per
cent clause, but it retains the vital
principles of loans on farm products.
It is true, too, that government own¬
ership of railroads is made conditional
instead of peremptorily, but that was
by no means the result of Democratic
influence. I admit that we made a
mistake in acting upon the force hill.
The vote expresses the sentiment of
the delegates, but it is a purely par¬
tisan measure, and we had no busi¬
ness under our constitution to touch it.
“I do not see much significance in
the Blaine story. What if Ritteu-
house did call on him? He had a
right to call if lie wanted to, and it
does not necessarily signify a corrupt
purpose on his part. I consider that
I have a perfect right to go to Jim
Blaine’s house, or Ben Harrison’s, or
to see any public man I please.”
The Alliance Platform.
The platform adopted by the Alli¬
ance at Ocala is an endorsement of
the St. Louis platform in the main,
The sub-treasury scheme was consid-
erably modified, striking out the 80
per cent clause, and extended it to
farm products instead of five specific
products, as in the St. Louis plat-
form. One new plank was added to
the platform, that is, that the govern-
loan money ou land as col-
lateral.
SATURDAY’S LECTURE.
A Learned and Eloquent Lectnre by
Prof. Morgan H. Looney.
Those who attended Prof. Looney’s
lecture at the academy last Saturday
know how great it was, but those who
were absent will never know, as we
have nobody to give it justice.
Prof. Looney’s lectures and speech¬
es are always scholarly and interest¬
ing, but on this occasion he rose to
the plane of the real orator, display¬
ing a genius and learning that few
men can attain. It has been our
good fortune to bear some of the
most distinguished men in the country
lecture, but none bore laurels that
I’rof. Looney would not have plucked
last Saturday morning. “The pen is
mightier than the sword” was his
subject. The subject presented a
broad field from which to draw his
inexhaustible resources of learning.
Bulwcr, who wrote this grand truth
on which tlit; lecture was delivered,
were he living, would feel honored
to have the companionship of a man
who, by induction could unfold so
much grand truth from his short sen¬
tence. The boy or girl, the young
man or young woman, who attends
such lectures and does not determine
to elevate him or herself is without
ambition, for they are full of encour¬
agement and inspiration. One such
lecture is worth more to a sensible
ambitious young man than many
montlis schooling under many of the
teachers.
In a Nutshell.
To Carnesville theoretical prohibi¬
tionists: A responsible citizen in¬
forms us that a distillery has been
run within two miles of Carnesville
for the past twelve months. And
yet Carnesville is overflowing with
earnest, honest prohibitionists! To a
man up a tree such zeal in a cause is
a little bit Tribune.
To Carnesville’s apologctieal anti¬
prohibit ionists: The cause of temper¬
ance, so far as you are concerned,
will not improve much, as you are
neither practical nor “theoretical”
prohibitionists. —Ekteiii’Kisk.
The above paragraph from Tun
F.XTKr.rrtisi: may mean one thing and
it may mean another. We’ll confess
that we don’t know what it does
mean. If Mr. McConnell intends to
indicate that the‘Tribune editor is a
practical and theoretical anti-prohi¬
bitionist, then our readers must have
the benefit of such a palpably ludi¬
crous joke.—Tribune.
We have never believed the editor
of the Tribune anything but a sincere
prohibitionist. We have had many
evidences to sustain this belief, but
the above paragraph was not in spirit
with her past utterances, and we did
not believe she wrote it. It was evi¬
dent to us that the paragraph was not
written in the interest of prohibition,
but to east personal reflections. This
plain statement from us that we be¬
lieve the editor of the Tribune a sin¬
cere prohibitionist night to be final.
Essence of Ginger.
Men used to buy essense of ginger
for its legitimate use for the most
part, but now they seem to want it
only to perpetuate drunkenness when
their liquor gives out, or to “sober up
on,” as they call it. The writer lias
sold it, as almost all other merchants
have, but its use then as a beverage
was not so extensive as now. But
the fact that we once sold it as other
reputable merchants did, does not, in
our opinion, debar us from urging
merchants to quit selling it where its
legitimate use is being abused. We
are proud to know that we have more
of the confidence and friendship of
gentlemen who have been selling os-
sence of ginger in Carnesville, and
have quit since they saw its growing
injuries, than those who would justify
them in their continuance of its sale.
The Twitty Bill.
The Twitty bill was taken up by
the Senate agricultural committee
last Friday. One amendment was
adopted and the bill was reported fa¬
vorably. That amendment leaves
the bill just like it has been on
amounts not exceeding $100. On
amounts exceeding $100 and not
more than $600 6 per cent, attorney’s
fees is allowed, and for amounts over
$600 2$ per cent. This seems to be
fair to all.
The Ssnatorship ia South Carolina.
The South Carolina legislature
failed to elect a United States sena¬
tor the first day. The alliance would
not vote with the Tilmanite* liecaose
of Tilman’s opposition to the sub¬
treasury, etc. Gen. Hampton may
yet be elected.
The Georgia Legislature is badly
behind with its work.

WHAT ROYAL OERMETUER HAS
DONE.

case of fever by the use of Royal
Germetuer.

ter all else had failed.

efit of suffering humanity. If you
