New York’s next gubernatorial noml nee will be a Flower that was not born to blush unseen. ■MA The strongest argument yet advanced why Judge Crisp should be elected speaker is that Tom Watson is opposed to him. It is now claimed that Anna Dickinson was not insane, but was abducted and carried to the asylum by force, at the instance other sister, Susan. Americas is the natural metropolis of Southwest Georgia and nothing can ob struct the growth which will soon give it the largest population of any city in this seotion. , Tins failure of Mr. U. C. Odom, of Leesburg, on Thursday, now causes some Amerious people to spell bis name Oh Dam, with a strong accent on tbo last syllable. Such a large body as tbe Alliance can- t fail to get in a few demagogues who would use the order for their own per sonal ends, but the common senso of § the sturdy yeomanry will eventually eliminate all such. When a two pound flee wants to make bimsclf conspicuous, be barks vocife- ily at the heels of the majestic new- foundland. This is why Tom Watson Is making such an uproar down in the tenth district of Georgia. President Harri on and party will leave Washington next Tuesday for a r of the principal cities of the states. I only stop in Georgia will be Atlanta. Fit must have been oversight that Aroeri- Vsur was not included in the list of cities. 1 IP Judge Crisp’s friends can induce a few more cranks and Slock-wads, like Editor Jones of St. Louis and Congress man Watson of the tenth, to attack his record, bis majority will be on parity with that of the Democracy in tlio next Douse. Can’t somebody induce Congressman Watson to complete his.folly by impal ing himself upon the puint of Judge ' Crisp’s lanco In a joint discussion of the ' tariff question, about which Judge . knows so much and Tommy so very, very little? Now comes little "dog-law” Tom Watson, who evidently thinks that be cause he is using tho samo weapon that Sampson used against the Philistines with Buch deadly effect, the destruction witl be equally great in Judge Crisp's olitical prospects. didates for tbe presidency of the i Allianco are comiog to the front, nd the contest at tbe next election promises to bo lively. Livingston Searcy and Mltohell are already in the Hold, and others will probably enter be ) the meeting. WUOI.LY apart from the merits of the i-Wimpce poisoning caso just end ed in ltome by the aoqnittal of Mrs. McKee, It may be remarked that the ver diet in that caso is just what might !« expected whenever a pretty woman is put on trial. "Not guilty. If sbo is good looking” Is tbe unanimous opinion of tlic avornge Amerioan citizen. The Chattanooga Nows Is tlio greatest paper on earth. A gontleman who lias been marriod a half score of years with out offspring, subscribed to tbo Nows just fourteen months ago, and now he 1 lias brand now twins at hit house. If a newspaper can assumo tho relation of a ,uso to such an ofTcct, it might bo that the sign of the xodiao now filled by the duplex Times-Recoiidkii would bo a certain precursor of such a felicitous family event; while the triplex “Trlb- unc-of-ltome” would bo equally regard ed as an antecedent cause of triplets. This question is respeotfully referred to Bachelor’ Whitmire of the Bruns wick Times, for his prayerful considera tion in connection with the matrimonial venture he Is said to be coutomplating. AmekicL'S. Athens and Home, are the riv al rules of Georgia In size, Lu«lne«s and on- terprl*'—Am.rlous Times- Recorder. And Athens leads them all In enterprise seven days In the week.—Athens Ban- Editor Crawford lived in Atlanta long enough to acquire tho habit of claiming the earth, which he is now exercising, as will appear from the abovo paragraph, in a way that can’t stand the tc«tof tho =%acts. While Amerious recognizes tho full merits of her rivals she can’t admit that Athens is as far ahead as Editor Crawford claims. A comparison Item by item of the developments of tile past year, wt'l be so much to the advantage of Amcricus tbac Editor Crawford is challenged to point out’ the superiority which he claims. While Athens may have excelled in some particulars, Amer- Icus has the advantage in others, and the general average is not enough Id favor of Athens to warrant her claiming more than fifteen minutea in the week the ad vantage instead of seven days. j TBE ALLIANCE PRESIDENCY. ’ “Principles, not men,"-seems to be an ancient political axiom not In very great favor nowadays. Tins Tmes-Recobdkb would call tbe attention of Editor Gantt to this, for the special reason that be appears to be making the personality of Col. Living ston occupy a superior position to that of the Alliance of which tho colonel Is the exeouttve bead. No one man or set of men is essential to the success of any movement and any critletsm of Col. Livingston and his poli tical record and methods is no reflection upon the Alliance Itself. Tbe Timks- Recobdku belives that the Farmers' Al liance Is a bigger than Col. Livingston, or any other man in Georgia, and that it can get along just as well without him with him, perhaps better. There are plenty of Alllancetnen in Georgia just aa available for president as any whose names have yet been used in connection; and Editor Gantt does the Alliance great injustice in making Its salvation hang upon the rise or fall of Col. Livingston or any other man. The Tiheh-Rkcoiiukii has no more di rect intent in tbe question of who shall be President of the Alliance than has any other person in Georgia, but as the Alliance Is stroug enough to control the political destinies of tlio stato and pos sibly of the country, it is a matter of concern toali good citizens that their principles he not made subservient to the personal ends of any man or clique. If Governor Nurtlien fails to make good Ills charges, ills political death kuell is souDded; if lie carries his point, Col. Livingston is relegated to private life with a black eye. But in either event, The Times-Re cokuek thinks it a grave blunder to al low the personal status of either of these men to have any bearing upon the really vital principles and policy of the Farmers' Alliance an organization whoso sole object is to ameliorate the condition of the agricultural class and make them independent and prosperous.

It baa not vet been definitely determined whether or not the AiDsrtsu* electric atreet railway, with IMcara,etc.,wm be tranaferred to Macon nnd made a part of thoMarnn lino. Iti! Bald that certain private tndlvldua Ameriena think of forminf a company lo continue In operation the road at Anterlcua. —Macon News. It may be regarded as being very defi nitely determined that no such move ment will be made now, even If there was ever such a prospect Americas don’t propose to Inaugurate any enterprise and then not have enough grit to earry it forward. The suspension of the street railway here was caused by Its oomplioations with the Light and Power Company. If the latter had been inaugurated npon a proper system so thatiteould have made money (aa it ahonld), the atreet railway would have continued to be operated right along, even at a slight loss. Ameri- cus does not intend to follow tho exam ple of Maoon, when fifteen year* ago aha allowed her street railway to be taken up and moved elsewhere. restriction. Late developments arising from such affaire aa the llaymarket massacre and the Hennesay assassination, and other less notorious cases, have put the American people to thinking seriously about the danger* that are eryatallzlng around our body politie by tbe praseneo of thousands df criminals of tbe wont class, from all nation* of the earth, In onr large eltlea. It la well known in certain quarters that it is the polioy of several European governments to encourage the emigra tion of all the suspects, ex-convicts, pau pers, etc., of their domains to America, and our people are now awaking to the dangore that our lax regulations at Castle Garden have involved us in. The papers all over the country are sounding notes of warning and publio sentiment will soon be aroused to tbe point of demanding some restrictive legislation by congress; wbieh cannot now be en acted too soon for the publio safety. Col. Geo. T. Fry, now of Chattanoo ga, added to his already wide reputation aka criminal lawyer by his defense of Mrs. McKee In Rome. It will be re membered that he accomplished quite a triumph a few years ago in Gainesville, Fla., by his defense of tbo son of Mis. Mary E. Bryan for murder, whom he cleared, In face of the faot that twj of Mr. Bryan’a associates bad turned state’s evidence, and thrown upon him the onus of having lynched a man, for mur dering whom Mr. Bryan was tried.
