Democratic newspapers which are waging war on Cleveland against Hill, or II1I1 against Cleveland, are doing the party serious injury. Both of these gen tlemen are good democrats and either of them would make a good president Instead of trying to create a wrangle be tween the immediate friends and sup porters of these two leading democrats, all good democratic newspapers should hold themselves in readiness to support either one of them or any other candl- datejwho is.nomlnatcd by the democratic party. . , eulogies and compliments from Demo- Ai.au am A is not so anxious for Hill as cratic papers upon the most noted tbs Atlanta Constitution beard about American of the day, James G.Blalne. recontly.

The people of Bmltbville should withhold their patronage from aueh a con temptible sheet si tha Americus Timss-Re- ooanaa.

Now let the ed- (tor of the “Seething Cauldron” come to the scratch, “or forever hereafter hold hie peace.” BY WAT Or EXPLANATION. In the article on the removal of the South western offices from Bmtthvtlle to Americas which appeared In The Tikss-Recorder yesterday It probably appeared to some who reed the article that these words In the sixth paragraph: “TBby say • • • It Is thought dangerous tor anyoae to remain there throughout the yetr,” were the sentiments of thla paper. Bach Is not the case. Tub Tiaas-Racoa- nga Knows Smithvllle is hea'thy. Thtt paragraph and the floor preceding were IRm the Macon Evening News and it wag intend- ed to eo credit them, but by a jj* nnezpleln • able p.ooeas It was omUtcdrThe words quoted above were spoken to a Aiwa reporter byoneorthe officials of the Booth western road.—Friday's TiMes-Racoansa. The foregoing paragraph was called to tbs attention of the editor of the Lee County New* by a member of the Times- Recorder staff, la ample time to have prevented the publication of the unjust tirade of abase which filled the A JOURNAL'S MISSION. Some people, who hsve very crudo ideas of journalism, as well as an ex ceedingly small modicum of brains, seem to imagine that a newspaper is re sponsible for the sentiments expressed or implied In the news it publishes, or for the editorial sentiments of other papers which are reproduced purely as a matter of Information to the public. Such publications may or may not represent the views of the journal which reproduces them; and the sole proper criterion Is what the paper Itself says editorially. A good newspaper publishes every thing—both sides of all questions of public interest—merely as news; then in its editorial columns it takes position on one side or the other; and must be judged accordingly. ment of a fact which every intelligent sont correctly the sontlmont of the poo-/ plo, how shall It be ascertained r I When, therefore The Times-ReooiP der publishes news ^tracts and politi cal comments from Its contemporaries which seom to advocate Mr. Cleveland, it doos not follow that he is bolng “rammed down the throats of the pco- plo” by The Times-Recorder; if any “ramming” is being done, the people themselves are doing It. Tub Times-Recordeii has published A TREMENDOUS EXPLOSION. On yesterday a distinct shock as of the blowing up of a powder house or an engine was heard down In the direc tion of Smltbvillo; and it took some hours to ascertain the true cause of the supposed catastrophe. It developed as being an explosion of wrath from the sanctum-sanctorum of the Smith ville, Leo County, News, the comic editorof that paper having gone oil li ke an ignited powder mill because The Times-Recobiier had quoted an article from the Macon News relative to the removal of the Southwestern head quarters from .Sralthville, and added that Americus was the proper placo for the headquarters in the case of removal. There 1s not one word in the language of this paper at which the I.co County News could have justly taken exception. The Macon News, an exceedingly re- liable paper on railroad news, stated upon the authority of railroad officials Interviewed, that the Southwestern rail road headquarters would be removed from Smithvllle, and gave the reasons BEALL & OAKLEY. day mocracy.

' th l All along the lines there is suddenly, as If by arranged plan, a movement against the nomination of ex President Cleveland In 1892. It ii too general and too significant to be overlooked, and It seems indeed as If It was done by pro- arrangement. The news from New York is that Hill Is a candidate for the nomination and that he means to get It. It Is known positively that he is in the fight. Ilia friends are at work and now they do not hesitate to claim that their man holds under his control New York, New Jer sey and Indiana, and that those states will send Hill delegates if Hill so elects. it cannot he atated with any certainty yot, whether the Southern Alllancemon are goln j to take up Governor Hill; but this much seems sure, that they are going against Ex-President Cleveland, if the whispered rumors omanating from certain prominent Alliancemen in Geor gia are significant of the drift of senti ment in the order at large. This much may be regarded os certain: the Alliancemen will go solidly just as their leaders may lead off; and unless there is a systematic effort being by Al liance leaden to keep the public in the dark as to their true intentions, enough has cropped out to indicate that when the national convention assembles, It will be anti-Cleveland by just the ma jority that Alllancemeu can make it. Governor Hill might probably carry New York, though this Is doubtful, but even If he ebonld, hie election would he impossible, unless the solid Alliance vote of tbe Western as well as the South ern States should rally to him and over come the deficiency of the non-alliance states, which would go Republican. If the Western Alliancemen ebonld go off Into a third party and not help out the solid South on the Democratio nomi nee, the election would be thrown into the House, which being ovtrwhelmlngly Democratic, would elect tbe President, columns of tbe Lee County News on!and be would nndonbtedly be Grover Saturday, and yet he Ignored tbe ex/ Cleveland, as the majority of the Pcmo- plsnstlon and refused to give the fact! crata of tilt next House usBcVrte' as they wen. \ Cleveland men. quoted by tlie Macon News. The Lee County Nows becomes guilty of the very offense It erroneously charges against The Times-Recorder; abusing Ameri cus to help out Smithville. Tbe old Recorder is on record in years past as defending Lee county against the charge of bad climate, and gave in proof thereof a long list of the old people liv ing there. . The Times and The TimeS-Recobdeii Vive persistently talked up for South western Georgia in all respects, and have never said one unkind word about Lee unty or Smithville. Now let the I-ee County Nows cool off a fow hundred degrees, and retract all Its thunder and lightning tirade against Americus and The Times-Rkcohiieh, for there is not a particle of foundation for a single charge It has made. There has not been a case of hemorrhagic fever In Americus in many years, and the Lee County News knows it; and upon the question of health, there would probably be no grounds for a change of location of the railroad offices. It is purely a ques yon of (convenience and advantage to the railroad, and upon this basis alone the BARGAINS! And Special Prices still the rule of the with us.

Gordon-Cumming having been duly [disgraced and the princo of Wales duly whitewashed, British justice is satisfied and the baccarat scandal takes its placo with all other nine-day wonders. But while It lasted what a panorama It was! A Scottish laird with a rent- roll of a quarter of a million convicted of n five-dollar swindle; a parvenu fam ly entertaining the heir apparent and atchlog one of the royal circle to see that be did not cheat bis prince; the prince himself unpacking his own pri vate gaming outfit and acting croupier for all comers; an earl, ageneraT and a half dozen other dignitaries conspiring to conceal a crime and a dishonor; a spiteful sultana landing the whole affair in the courts—and such a tribunal! My Lord the Chief-Justice os soft as velvet to the future head of the church and ob sequious jurymon who scarcely dared breathe in the presence of the blood royal. It was a lino show while It lasted. Parnell may think that bis marriage to Mn. O'Shea will conciliate tho crimo of which he was guilty, buthe will never reach the eminence In the eyes of the people which he held before his fall.
