CLAiniNG EVERYTHING.
Colonel J. R Hogan, the Populist
candidate for governor, gave the
keynote of his campaign inhisDoug
lasville speech. He appeared in the
attitude of the great politicsl party
claimant, and managed to show in a
very few words that the Populist
candidates who are running for office
have but one excuse for the position
they occupy. They don’t expect to
be elected; they are running simply
to keep up an opposition to the Dem
ocratic party, to “keep it in check,”
to make Democrats “toe the mark.”
It has hitherto been supposed that
the people themselves have been
able to kap all parties in check and
to make them toe the mark by with-
holding approval of their course at
the ballot box, or by conferring on
them the honor of success. But
this seems to be no longer the case.
The Populist candidates give the
people no credit whatever for any
thing of that sort, and withhold from
them even the credit of accomplish
ing the recent political reforms that
have taken place in Georgia.
And this is the keynote of Candi
date Hogan’s campaign. He de
clared at Douglasville that the Popu
lists had forced the Democrats to
take away from the legislature and
place in the hands of the people the
election of supreme court justices
and superior court judges. He also
said that the Populists had forced
the Democrats to collect interest on
the state’s money deposited in the
banks.
In short, during the past dozen
years everything that has been done,
every reform that has been carried
out has been forced on the Demo
crats by the Populists. The people,
as the phrase goes, have not been in
it, and they are not in it now. And,
in fact, the legislature has not been
controlled by the Democrats at all,
in spite of the fact that they have
had an overwhelming majority in
that body ever since 1870. No, sirs!
the real operators, engineers, steer
era and manipulators of reform are
the Populists. Their representation
in the general assembly has some
times amounted to as much as one
eighth of that body, but this one
eighth has had such a mighty influ
ence that it is responsible for every
thing that has been done in the way
of reformatory or progressive legisla
tion. Yes, sirs! when the Populists
cracked their whips in the legisla
ture the Democrats had to come to
time and toe the mark
All this would be highly ridicu
lous if it did not represent the last
resort and refuge of candidates who
represent no state policy whatever,
and who are trying in vain to hold
a
their party together.
Meanwhile, the Democrats of Geor
gia have not only instituted political
reforms in this state, but these re
forms are of the very essence and
nature of Democracy. The people
of Georgia not only select their own
judges, but the Detc voters
nominate their own candidates for
governor and statehouse officers fr >e
from the influence of political ma
nipulators and wire-pullers. If the
Populists are responsible for one of
these reforms, they are responsible
for all; and it is a wonde/ Candida'c
Hogan did not explain how it is that,
while the Democrats nominate their
candidates for governor by ballot,
the Populists depended on the old,
discarded machine methods for the
nomination of theirs.
Well, the Populist candidates can’t
fool the people this year. Ihe Popu
list voters will support Candler.—-

W Alt NEWS IN BRIEF.
The United States flag now floats
proudly over Santiago, as that city
has been surrendered to the United
States by the Spaniards.
Last Thursday a flag of truce was
raised over Santiago by Gen. Toral,
the Spanish leader, and a conference
was held between the Spanish and
American commanders, the former of
whom saw that a further resistance
of American forces meant only
slaughter and death to many of his
soldiers, and at last a final surrender.
He agreed to “capitulate.” He did
not like to say “surrender,” but
wanted some other word. Rather
than grumble over tecnicalities, he
was allowed to say “capitulate.” All
Eastern Santiago surrendered. All
the Spaniards surrendered their
arms and agreed never again to
fight the United States, and the
United States agreed to transport
them back to Spain. The American
soldiers are now proudly treading
the streets of Santiago.
The president warmly congratu
lated Gen. Shafter and his army of
brave soldiers for their heroism just
after Santiago surrendered into the
hands of our people.
When the articles of surrender
were signed, Gen. Toral, the white
haired commander of the Spanish
forces, was present. When he sur
rendered to Gen. Shafter his sword
the sword was handed back to him
bitterly of the fate which compelled
him to sue for peace, but had no
word to say against the gallant men
who had conquered his army. He
declared that he had little chance to
win. “I would not desire to see my
worst enemy play with the cards I
held,” he said to one of the commis
sioners. “Every one of my generals
were killed or wounded. I have not
a single colonel left, and am sur
rounded by a powerful enemy. We
have counted sixty-seven ships off
this port. And besides,” he con
cluded, wearily waving his hands
towards the city, “I have secret
troubles there."
Speaking of the battle of the 24th
of June, in which the rough rideis
and a part of Gen. Young’s com
mand participated, Gen. Trial ‘aid
that less than two thousand Span
ish troopb were engaged,.his lobs be
ing 266.
He would not say how many Span
iards were killed at El Caney and
before Santiago. “Heavy!” heavy!”
he said, dejectedly.
In response to an inquiry he said
that transportation would be required
for between 22,000 and 25,000 men,
there being that much of a force in
the “capitulated” district. He in
formed the officers that Santiago
harbor bad been again mined since
Admiral Cervera left.
There is much yellow fever among
the soldiers.
Porto Rico will be attacked next.
The plan of campaign against Porto
Rico has been already planned, and
it will be only a short while until it
will also be ours.
After Porto Rico, then will come
Havana, the largest city in Cuba.
The president says the war will
be pushed to the utmost limit.
Col. William J. Bryan’s regiment
has at last started for the front, and
the late presidential candidate, in
his soldier uniform, is now on the
Burlington road en route to Jackson
ville, where Col. Bryan and his regi
ment will be under the command of
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee.
Col. Bryan, his staff and the Sec
ond battalion of the regiment started
over the Burlington road, and will
be transferred to the Illinois at Men
dota, Ills., thence over the Illinois
Central to Duquoin, Ills., and from
there to Martin. They will then
take the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis railroad to Nashville, Chat
tanooga and Atlanta, and thence
over the Central of Georgia railroad
to Albany, and from there they will
take the Plant System to Jackson
ville.
The Cubans did very little fight
ing in the battle of Santiago, and
would not do work, but ate heartily
the American food furnished them.
As soon as the American forces cap
tured Santiago the Cubans w’anted to
take possession of it, to pillage, plun
der and rob, and when Gen. Shatter
positively and emphatically refused
it, they became very angry.
Washington, July 18.—The plans
for sending Commodore Watson’s
eastern squadron to Spain have
reached a point where naval officials
are considering the exact day of de
parture, and it is said that positive
orders have been given that prepara
tions must be brought to a close at
once with a view to having every
thing in readiness by the end of this
week.
Two of the colliers which are to
accompany the expedition are at Nor
folk for the purpose of putting light
batteries on them: The officer in
charge of the work estimated that
it would take two weeks more to get
these batteries together and have
them mounted. This meant the de
lay, and an order has been given
that the work be completed this
week or else that the colliers go
without their light batteries
The same view is taken as to the
condition of the ships. The fleet
officers would like to have the ships
bottoms scraped and considerable
overhauling done. But this means
delay, and the disposition here is to
have the cleaning and repairing done
as well as possible by the men on
the ships.

Clippings, and Original Remarks, from
the Jefferson < *Johnnies. , ’
Woman’s Mission.
Successful competition in any field depends on physical health.
AMILIAR FIS
Shall women vote? Shall they practice law?
all they compete with men in every field?
hatever woman's mission may finally be de
clared to be, it is certain that something’
must be done for her physical health.
Ignorance, superstition and mystery sur
round woman’s delicate organism, lleroic
efforts to endure pain is part of woman’s
creed. Many women s lives are a constant
struggle with lassitude; many are violently
ill without apparent cause, and few indeed
are in normal health.
This is all wrong and might be different
L if women would follow Dr. Hartman's ad
vice. Perhaps the most practical printed
talk to women to he found anywhere is in
Dr. Hartman's book called “Health and
Beauty,” which the Pe-ru-na Medicine Cos.,
Columbus, 0., will mail free to women
only. It is certain that Dr. Hartman's
I Pe-ru-na has proved a perfect boon for
women’s diseases of the pelvic organs. It
treats them scientifically and cures them
•permanently. All druggists sell it.
“I received your book and commenced
the use of your medicine at once,” writes
Mrs. H. D. Amoss of Greensboro, Ga., to
— " Dr. Hartman. “I took five bottles of
Pe-ru-na and two of Man-a-lin. I feel like anew woman. When I commenced
taking Pe-ru-na I could hardly walk across my room; now I am doing my own
work and can walk to church. I shall never cease to thank you for prescrib
ing for me. I had been under the treatment of two doctors but never received
any benefit until I commenced taking j our medicine. I wish every woman
who was suffering as I was would send for one of your books. May God bless
you and spare you many years to relieve women who are suffering as I was.”
Fifty thousand women will be counselled and prescribed for this year free of
charge by Dr. Hartman, president of the Surgical Hotel, Columbus, 0. All
women suffering from any disease of the mucous membrane, or any of the
peculiar ills of women, may write to him and the letters will receive his
personal attention. Write for special question blank for women. u.
