W* «*« no neceultjr or excuse for a aound

The money qneatlon will be the leading loeue in
the nomination* tbl* year, and a man or a paper
that can lacrMiee^ii* view* on thi* question, will
not find it hard to Ignore any democratic prin-
clplp*,-.JWOBltri* Observer.
The first p^rt of this cap fits us,
and we doff it with* onr politest bow
tb the Observer. Vfb Are not the
kind of eountry newspaper to get up
on a barn roof, sling our hat until we
tear off the rim and yell ourselves
hoarse shouting for or Against some
thing wo know nothing about.
The Qbserver and the Times, like
a groat many other country weeklies
in Georgia and other states, are sim
ply little mirrors, reflecting back the
sentiments and ideas oi the big dai
lies and their particular politicial
demigods, and widening the party
breach, instead of restoring harmony.
As we have before remarked, we
will not air our ideas and our igno
rance on a subject about which our
greatest and wisest statesmen
are so much at variance. It is the
mission of a newspaper to educate
and not to whoop up some political
idea.
In our bumble judgment, tree sil
ver will not afford the relief the peo
ple want. Our thinking so does not
make it so. There arc a few tilings,
however, that we do know; the
most prominent of which is the fast
that the democratic party lias accom
plished very little of the needed and
expected relief during its adminis
tration'for tho reason that its repre
sentatives were divided into political
factions fighting for personal and lo
cal interest, at the expenso of tho
good they might have done.
Now, we know Jim Griggs to be
a man of unquestioned ability, sound
judgment and above factional prej
udice. VVc believe that when tho
democratic convention adopts a plat
form, hi
feet. For these reasons, we support
him, and if our ’Steamed newspaper
friends don’t like it, they can simply
pour it back in the jug.
As to the latter portion of tho par
agraph, the inference is even worse
than the grammar. The editor of
tho Gazette was fighting for dem
ocratic principles before the Moul
trie paper was even in tho tender
care of a wet nurse, and tho aspersion
is unworthy of the man that wrote it.
In 1801 Great Britain imported
00.19 per cent, of her raw cotton
from the United States. In 1870 her
cotton imports from this country
wore 63.48 per cent.; in 1880 they
1880 they were 70.18 per cent.; in
1890 they wore 70.41 per cent., and
in 1894 they were 77.91 per cent.
The other cotton growing sections of;
Hie world are not in position to Slip- 1
ply the deficiency that, would be ere-
tod if the cotton supply of this!
courttry were to bo cut off by war. i

ONE CONVENTION.
______ /
The Democratic State Executive
Committee, at its meeting in Atlanta
last Saturday, by a vote of 22 to 11
called the Bate Convention* to meet
in Macon June 25th, and decided to
hold but one convention and one pri
mary in the state.
At this primary, governor, state
house officers, members of the gen
eral assembly and candidates for
County offices will be nominated,
anJ the same convention tliac nom
inates a state ticket selects delegates
to the national convetion at Chicago.
Congressman Crisp addressed a let
ter to the Chairman of the Commit
tee, asking that at the same primary
express its choice for U. S. Senator.
The selection of Macon for fcold-
iug the Convention was fit and prop
er. The less said about the rail
road primary-convention, and the
more that is done for democratic
harmony and success, the best for all
concerned.
Hon. W. H. Love, member from
the Second, fittingly expressed the
wishes of his constituents by voting
for two conventions, and established
usage.
The editorial “we” has a variety
of applications. For instance when
you read that “we” expect our wife
home today, “wo” refers to the editor;
when it is “we are behind with our
work” it includes the whole office
force, even the devil and the towel;
in“woare having a boom,’’the town is
nieant;“wo received over 700,000 emi
grants lust year,’’embraces the nation,
but “we have bad bog cholera in our
midst,’’means that the man who takes
the paper and does not pay for it is
very ill.—Ex.
In closing his lecture in Augusta,
Mr.Ingnlls said: “The strcetB of Jeru
salem were kept clean by eyery man
sweeping in front of bis own door,
will get on it with both The only wav to elevate individuals
is by personal effort. In this way we
may hope to have a government of
the people, for the people, anil by
the people.”
