EX-PRESIDENT GROVER CLEVELAND.
Ex-Pmidant Cleveland, who is being boomed in certain quarters a« a Democratic
presidential powibility for 1904, ii now 66 years of age. He has run for the presidency
three times and has been elected twice.
WHY NOT PALMER AND BUCKNER?
It, is with no inconsiderable degree of satisfaction that the News
and Bun has witnessed the renaissance of Cleveland and the Cleve
landites at this time. The talk of the nomination of Cleveland is
taken seriously only by those who have no sense of oongruity or hu
mor, and as they are in rn insignificant minority in America no harm
is done. On the other hand, while it is apparent nobody will be con
centrated upon as a presidential candidate this year, it gives another
and very substantial foot ball to be kicked about on the great national
gridiron of politics, instead of keeping Bryan up for ail the punches.
Thus by the time the convention meets both will be worn to such a
frazz’e that tbe wildest and longest-haired enthusiast will be ready
to oast them aside.
Nevertheless, our sense of logical completeness is not satisfied.
There is much talk of old man Cleveland’s sterling honesty and
rugged independence, not to mention the luck that is always bringing
things his way except in occasions 1 instances when he gets mad and
throws the empty bait bottle at the flying ducks, and it is said that
time having vindicated his policy men should do likewise. His
friends are careful not to refer to the matter in too particular terms,
but whut they seem to most admire about him is the fact .that he voted
for Palmer and Buckner instead of the regular nominee in 1896
Now, we freely admit that this showed a certain kind of inde
pendence, but we claim that this mere passive way of expressing his
individual opinion in opposition to that of h’s party was not more
than half aj honest and independent as the action of Palmer and Buck
ner in running. Hence it follows that all admirers of these qualities
in politics should not continue to follow in the Cleveland wake but
should strike out for vindication of the old ticket. What is the mat
ter of Palmer and Buckner as the Democratic nominees in 1904? As
honest and independent bolters they are all right, leaving nothing
whatever to be desired, and if anybody is entitled to vindication it is
certainly up to them.
Right here is where we sit down and indite a letter to old man
Palmer—by the way, is he still alive? and in any case what is his ad
dress?—asking him if he is willing to accept the Democratic nomina
tion in the interest of harmony.
A PLANT OF BLESSING.
The enterprise of seedsmen and
nurserymen seems put to it tome
timoa to obtain the novelties with
which they like to embellish their
catalogues every year. Really good
things that are of staple value come
along rarely.
But it comes to ui byway of the
Pittsburg Gazette that a plant has
recently been acquired by the fa
ntoui botanical gardens ot Kew,
England, which is full of promise,
and, if what is said of it be true,
there will be a big demand for it as
scon as it ean to put on the market
in this country. It is a native of
Northern Nigeria, and a living spec
imen was brought to Kew by Capt.
H D Larrym ire, a British official
o f that country. It is known as the
mosquito plant, an i Captain Larry
more testifies from his own experi
encj that h house can be kept ** free
of mosquitoes by keeping in the
rooms potted plants of this species.
The odor is said to be pleasant,'
somewhat resembling wild thym o ,
but mosquitoes cannot bea<- it, and
if caught and inclosed near its leaves
succumb in a few seconds The
natives use an infusion of thj leav<s
as a remedy’ for malarial fever and
regard it as m ire i tlicacious than
quinine.
If the plant has such properties us
dessribed it is obvb us that it will be
a very useful thing to have about in
localities troubled by mosquitoes
or mularia.
IS NOT HIS NAME TEDDY?
The Hon. Theodore Roosevelt
lectured a small boy severely for
calling him “Teddy.” “Colonel
Roosevelt is nothing if not spectac
ular,” says the Savannah Press,
This reminds us of she story of
Hon. Charles L Bartlett trying a
case before old Judge Wright, down
at Forsyth, when a witness persist
ed in cal'mg him “Charlie.” Mr.
Bartlett was younger then than he
is now and consequently stood
more on his dignity, and at last he
appealed to the judge to make the
witness speak more respectfully.
“Well,” drawled Judge Wright
slowly, “ain’t your name Charlie?
Do you want him to call you col
onel?”
In like manner, we ask, isn’t the
president's name Teddy, and does
he expect everybody to call him
Your Excellency? Unlike Mr. Bart
lett, Mr. Roosevelt is entirely lack
ing in the elements of true dignity,
and acts more like a boisterous
and overgrown kid than anything
else, and the small boy was proba
bly sincere and respectful,as he was
certainly justifiable, in calling him
Teddy.
‘THE TALKING PRESIDENT.”
After a thorough investigation into
the matter the Springfield Republi
can reports that during the twenty
months of his service as president
Mr. Roosevelt up to last Saturday
had made at least 191 speeches, long
and short, several impromptu talks
not being counted. “Mr. Roosevelt,”
concludes \he Republican, “as the
head of a great State, has so
completely smashed all records,
both domestic and foreign, in the
oratorical line, that no ruler, an
cient or modern, remains in the
same class with him. It is a phase
of his administration entirely
unanticipated and therefore doubly
interesting He is incontestably the
one man in the line from Washing
ton to himself who can claim the
title of ‘the talking president.’ ”

“A number of our exchanges are of
tiie opinion that Mr. Guerry is keeping
time with his hammer, knocking every
thing in sight. Mr, Guerry has some
knocking coming to him, however, as
lie received a number of good, hard
knocks when he was before the people
as a candidate for governor, and it is
luit natural that sore placet were left,”
says the Athens Banner. Yet it may
not necessarily be treason to admit that
there are some things iu Georgia that
, need an occasional knock. It is only
that bin knocking does no good when
fellow beer me i too utterly indiscrimi
nate.

Between Two Factions We Fall to the .
Ground-
Albany Herald
Between Clevelaiidism and goldbug
istn on the one side and Bryanism and
free ailverism on tiie other, the Demo
cratic party seems to be in a fairway
to go to the devil.
The two factions into which the party
was divided in 1896 are apparently as
wide apart and as unyielding and
un reconcilable as ever, and so long as
this state of feeling exists in the party
the Democratic nomination lor the
presidency will be an empty honor.
The silver question is no longer an
issue in the politics of the country.
That question was settled in the elec
tion of 1900 and afterwaads confirmed
or clinched by act ol congress. The
country is on the basis of the gold
standard, and the business of the coun
try has been adjusted to it. The busi
ness tnen, and even the practical poli
ticians, have accepted the question of
bimetalismas settled, and nobody is
now demanding the free an d unlimited
coinage of silver. And yet there is a
faction in the Democratic party still
fighting what they are pleased to cal[
“Bryanism and free silver.” It all
makes real Democrats mighty tired.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the >ar.
There Is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi
tion of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube is inflamed
you. have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when It is entirely closed,
deafness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored its to normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten ars caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflanned cond.-
tlon of the mucous services
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

VETERANS PASS
RESOLUTIONS.
On lh« Oeath of Old Who >«>•
Before th« Sebre of Time.
At a called meeting of Camp N<»- 519
United Confederate Veteran.-, lieid in
this city yesterday, the following reso
lutions were read and passed and the
same committee was elected to serve
another year ■
Willi keenly whetted scythe and ini- |
partial ami unerring stroke, “Obi
Father Time” mows down the l ank
and file of our comrades, ami soon but
a small guard will remain to tell the
story of the golden fields ot Southern
valor, where thete nowered ami fruited |
the honor, fame mid chivalry of the
South beneath a Southern sky, in 1861
to 1865.
The glory of ?. country is its history,
and its history is the memory of its
dead.
The grandeur and perpetuity of a
cause is in that which inspired it, and
they only shall live immortal who di<’
for that which is right. We know the
cause for which they fought was right,
and the principles for which they con
tended still live in this renovated union
of Soverign States, planned by our com
mon fathers, “s'lio worked more wisely
than they knew.”
We, the survivors of the cause for
which our comrades fought, will for
ever hold in sacred memory their
names and their fame, and will perpetu
ate tt> the latest time the sentiments
which inspired them, and the principles
for which they contended.
While their swords are broken, and
their flag is folded, though bright and
stainless still, and though their warm
hearts beat no more, responsive to
Dixie’s bugle call for liberty, we will
present their lives and their characters
as examples and inspirations to the
h< i oic youth of every age
In memory of the following com
| rades, members of this c.imp, who have
died within the past year, .yOur com
mittee submits the following resolu
tions :
James S. Boynton, John 0. Ransome,
Win. B. Hudson, J. P. Sawtell, Win.
Freeman, B. P. Welden, B. F. Willis,
S. E. Taylor, J. 11. Barnett and R. S.
Connell.
Resolved, first, That while some of
these, our comrades, whose deaths we
mourn, illustrated the highest rank;
some glorified the humblest tile, yet all,
being equally brave in danger, and.
faithful iu duty, we would not make an
invidious distinction by paying any
special tribute to or encomium <i any
one, but would write equal honor for
all and upon the grave of each drop the
tear of love and sympathy.
Resolved, second, That in tbe death
of our comrades, this camp has suffered
a severe and irreparable loss; the State
has been deprived of the example and
services of noble and useful citizens;
society lost some of her brightest
ornaments and surest safe-guards; and
that in their deaths, new stars have
been fixed in the firmament of Southern
history, truth and glory.
Resolved, third, I’hat these resolu
lutions be entered on our minutes, and
that a page thereof be inscribed and
dedicated to tiie memory of our de
ceased comrades.
Resolved, fourth, That the Griffin
Daily News and Sun be requested to
publish these resolutions.
