When they ehoold make them serve
then. The press Is also partly re*
sponsible for this condition of
things, for If any class of people qn
earth know the rottenness of poll*
ties editors and reporters sorely do.
And yet the politicians are blindly
served and obeyed.
When tbeavakenlogcomes there
wlU be socb a tearing down and
pruning out as will surprise the

Saloon keepers in Americus are
having Just a few more election
days this year than they bargained
for.
Judge Crisp’s election as Speaker
of the next House becomes more
and more possible as tbe days roll
i>y-
Tbo Ocala convention has fully
adopted the sub-treasury bill, and
it promises to play an Important
part In politics.
The betterments question has
fairly got under way In the leg.
islature, and before tbe legislature
adjourns it sbould provide some
way to settle It.
At twenty cents a pound turkeys
would seem to be a better paying
crop than cotton at ten, besides
being more convenient about
Christmaa time.
What a Merry Christmas Amerl
eus will have, to be sure. The At
lanta Journal’s remark that Amor
ims’ people should be called “merry
oussos” will literally be true about
that time.
Americas can afford to jollify on
Christmas week. If any other
town of its size in Georgiacan show
a record of 600 new houses and doz
ens of buildings and new Indus
tries, we don’t know where It Is.
If there ever was a monopoly
the Insurance pool in this wtnto
Is one, and probably the worst.
The present legislature Is making
arrangements to lay It out In tbe
cold.
THE STATE ROAD.
There may be trouble about ibis
road again, or at least, in article In
yesterday’s Constitution would
lead one to suppose&b much.
The article Infers that Governor
Brown may take measures to pre
vent the State from turning over
the road to the new lessees on Deo,
27th, and In that cate the new les
sees would refuse to take charge of
the road. This all seems to The
Recorder like quibbling over
small matter, and also infers that
the State will be passive under
suoh treatment.
How Governor (or ox-Gov.
Brown oan prevent tbe road being
turned over to the new lessees on
the date named we cannot see, nor
do we believe there will be any
trouble to amount to anything.
The people are willing to pay a
reasonable price for betterments,
but they will not bo forced into It.
A CRISIS.
The Constitution sounds a note
of warning to the money bags of
the country, and tells In plain lan
guage that the people are becotn
lug very tljed of a dozen men con
trolling the destinies of tho eoun
try, and sending things to ruck and
ruin at their sweet pleasure. Anti
the Constitution Is right. The
time Is near at hand when tue peo
ple propose to have a voice In the
oontrol of this government, and
if they cannot get It through one
of the great political parties they
will get It by other means.
The system of government that
allow* one man to make $30,000,000
In a lew days Is rotten somewhere,
and the somewhere must be in Its
financial law*. Then the people
are taxed too muoh. Where all the
many millions which are wrung
from the masses go to no one can
tell. Congress pa/s too muoh at
tention to political matter*, and too
little to tbe needs qf the people
whom they profess to serve.
The people themselves are great
ly to blame for this condition of
things. They worship officeholders
