A IIIVIM. K» II-
M ac than one failure has occurred
recently which led the people to say to
themselves, if not to proclaim it pub
licly, "fraud."
There should lie a special law enacted
making it possible for tho parties to
such failures, if the charge can be
proven, to receive their just deserts.
The desperado who holds up a train and
at the point of a pistol makes one man
after another give up his money or his
life is to he admired for his bravery,
though it be foolhardy and criminal.
Tlie lurking, sneaking highwayman is to
be detested and punished, but even be
is as an angel almost as compared with
the man who breaks for what there is
in it.

use the more grating term by theiving,
“It is probable that many jolly dogs
will have ‘barks' on the sea this sui
mer,” says an exchange. Yes, and it
quite likely that mauy “cats'* will sail
on old ocean's bosom.
The petrified body of a woman who
lias been missing forty years has been
found in Indiana. The eyes were gone
from their sockets but the tonguo was
still on tho proper pivots.
The local columns of this morning's
Times-Kkcoiidkh bear witness to the
fact that the most mythical of myths—
tho race issue—will soou settle itself if
negro excursions and mean liquor are
given a fair shake.
It is not to be believed that alliance-
men, who are ever wide awake to the
principle of “the greatest good to the
greatest number,” will allow bad feeling
within their homo circle to prevent Geor
gia’s being properly represented at tlie
World’s fair.

The house of represesentatives of the
Massachusetts legislature has passed
tho bill repealing the law' requiring all
drinking at saloons to be done while the
biblers sat at tables. The senate had pre
viously passed the bill. Tiplers can now
drink perpendicularly, and a too free in
dulgence will change the position to a
horizontal one.
It is a notable fact that it is about nip
and tuck with Sam Small and the people
of Ogden as to which can hurl the vilest
and the greatest profusion of epithets
at the other. It is equally as patent
that there is enough difference between
a common reporter and the proprietor
of a $10,000 mansion in Philadelphia to
compensate one for being called ugly
names.
While Secretary Foster Is ruminating
over tho work of tho billion dollar con
gress, and trying to mako its acts lit tho
treasury pile. It may not bo out of order
to remind him that the “revenue cut
ters” can bo dispensed with, thanks to
the English language, for there are
thousands of tailors beneath tho bonny
llag of tho stars and stripes who cut for
revenue only.
Ghouls are after the body of the late
Phineas T. Darnum for the uso of a
museum. That would be the Irony of
fate; to make a show out of tho great
•bowman. Phineas’ ghost might not
put up such a grand kick, however, if
It could become what Phineas in the
flesh outlayed so much money for—an
attraction for tho Barnum and Bailey
aggregation.
Maciiixkrt running at great friction
Is apt to emoke, and when a man or a
machine gets on too much steam they
have to blow off and simmer down. It
was only the exhaust report from Ster
ling Roberts and Larry Gantt that the
public heard. Some may find relief in
knowing that neither of these gentle
men ever got Into a hole of which they
could not get out.
A GENTLEMAN wllO Is said to be In
touch with the order has been quoted by
tho Constitution as saying that the al-
liancemen of north Georgia are opposed
to an appropriation by tho state for an
exhibit at the World's fair. Here is a
good change for Mr. Livingston to do
some missionary work and keep up h'<s
reputation as one of tho leaders in what
is of Interest to the state of his choice.
Hangings are getting to be almost
weekly occurrences in Georgia. This
is no evidence that crimo is on the in
crease, but it is proof positive that jurors
are doing their duty more thoroughly.
It is conceded that several legal execu
tions will have the effect of causing
those with murderous proclivities to go
with slowness and trepidation in taking
the life of a fellow man. Even hangings
arc good things in their places.
The success of the late Mme. Blavats-
ky shows once more how easy a thing
itU to launch a new religion. Three
times tho prophetess changed her faith.
At first she was a simple spirit medium
and taught the religion of raps. Then
she posed ss s Roaicrucian, and taught
the mystic'doctrines ascribed to Rosen-
krinz. Finally she “lifted the entire
system now called theosophy from the
writings of the late Eliphaz Levi.
getting dav by day to be more of a law
with society, he may rest happy, con
tented and respectful, while his credi
tors rush around, tear their hair and are
forced to the wall by abject Inability to
meet their obligations. That, however,
is a rule of trade and pity is not for him
who suffers himself to be worked
easily.
There are those who have a greater
burden to bear than they.
There are the merchants and property
holders in the cities and towns where
the failures occur.* One “break” can do
a city or town damage untold,
shakes confidence in tho place and the
people; stagnates business and tears the
market to pieces if the bankrupt stock
is put on sale at bankrupt prices. It
causes men to rush around in their
anxiety to save themselves and foreclose
on honest men who would pay if they
were given any kind of a t show, as is
frequently done in the ordinary chan
nels of trade. These are facts and can
not be evaded* y et there are men so pol
luted with tho desire for money, no
matter whether they got it honestly 01
dishonestly, that they care naught for
precipitating such a state of affairs.
For the men who honestly fail in
meeting their obligations because of ad
verse circumstances, Tiif. Times-Rk-
cordek has every sympathy. The other
class may be numbered as one of tho
crying evils of the day. For them this
paper has no sympathy. It thinks that
a special law should be placed on the
statute book, making the punishment
meted out to them fit tho crime, and
that no effort should ho spared to prove
the charge of fraud, for whero there is
much smoke tho fire is likely to burn.
In this The Timeh-Rkcoiidkh believes
itsolf hacked up by tho people.
HE GETS LEFT.
Facts are very ugly things. You can’t
smooth their wrinkled brows with bat
tering rhetoric nor. mako them sweet
tempered with special pleading. And
one of these ugly facts which will “moot
us at Phlllippi” or at the polls in the
year of our Lord 1802 is that the McKin
ley bill is the biggest show and hum
bug of the generation.
It is a cheat and a Ho from the enact
ing clause to tho last syllable.
The poor man gets no moro wages,
no more work, gets no more anything.
Yes, we mistake, he does get one thing
—he gets left
It costs him more for his table and for
his wardrobe, more for medicino and
more for the coffin in which he buries
his dead. Tho McKinley bill is a curso
which dogs his steps at every turn and
follows him to the grave.
That Is the Issue for tho next cam
paign, and tho people will make it red
hot for the party bosses and tricksters
who have played them for fools.
MAKE HASTE SLOWLY.
While it seems that the men are anx
ious to prove that they do not consider
marriago a failure, It looks os if the
ladies are getting careless as to whom
they marry, for scarcely a day passes
but what one or more cases of bigamy
are reported.
The fault of this lies at the doors of
tho young ladies and the parents of tho
country. They should make haste slow
ly in this important matter. There Is
no girl nor uo parents that cannot get
the pedigree of a man if they want It.
If, however, this is not true there is, or
should be, nothing to compel a marriage
until this pedigree is obtained. Ladies
and their parents are largely to blame
for the number of bigamists in the coun
try, and sad to relate they seem to be
dally becoming less careful in this im
portant matter.
No law will ever remedy the evil with
out the co-operation of those directly
at interest in pro vent! hg It.
The report that a well known young
Georgian fought a duel with a Russian
count in Chicago is discredited. Geor
gians hare plenty of flgbt when the
neccsaity arises for fighting. It is, how-
ever, a troth known of all men that
Georgia duellists don’t duel.
SOMETHING TO WORK FOIC.
A city builded upon the solid rock of
home cash, and hacked up by a people-
who have that faith in it which can
move mountains, should not be at any
loss as to w hat to do in a case like tlie
one which presents itself to the people
of Ainericus just now.
The Amcricus street railroad is short
ly to be sold at receiver's sale, unless a
motion to set aside prevails. If this
motion prevails, those who ordered it
made will see to it that all is well. If it
does not prevail. Ameiicus enterprise
and Ainericus pluck should take upon
themselves tlie duty of having the road
to remain whero it is and of having the
cars to run as* of old.
Laboring under many disadvantages
the road met not that measure of suc
cess anticipated for it, and was forced
to suspend. A season has passed that
has worked many changes in Ainericus,
and made her more avowedly one of the
leading cltios of Georgia. It is said by
those who have studied the matter that
the time is auspicious for the electric
cars to begin operations once agaiu.
The plant may mako mbnoy now or it
may not. That is to he tested. But the
day is certainly coming when it will bo
paying property.
With this fact in view, as well as the
best interests of Americus, tlie cars
should start again. Lot the people see
to this. Form a company and let Amer
icus energy clear the track, Americus
pluck grease the clogged wheels and
Americus money furnish the motive
power, while Americus people and the
visitors ride, and all will be well. Life
will come out of what is now only a
memory, the cling, clang, cling of the
bells wJJl bo heard at every street cross
Ing and Americus cau proudly boast her
electric cars once more.
Let all be up and doing in this matter
and success will answer the call of
Americus enterprise
