help rebel ling that, thirty years ago, the
South made a colossal mistake in not
lighting for its rights inside the Union
and under the old liag. That is ancient
history, and beyond remedy. But what
of tiie political outlook to-day ?
From the green mountains of Ver
mont to the l.io Grande, and from New
York to .'-an Francisco, the toilers and
producer* of ...ir laud are restless under
tiie existing irder of tilings and the
gigantic itio.piaiity which now prevails.
For years there has been a struggle, ou
the part of die majority, to remedy ex
isting evils, and to make this a govern
ment. of the people in fact as well as iu
name. .Juki how futile have beon these
efforts, everybody knows. Tbc same
“damned inequality of mankind" exists
to-day tliat always existed.
’Tis truo, that thousands ujion thou
sand of our people are struggling to
shake off the incubus of organized
wealth, which, from a central point,
dominates and dictates the legislation of
our entire country. But how are those
thousands going about it? That's the
question.
In times gone by the term ''democ
racy" meant "government by the peo
ple.” lias anything happened in the
past thirty years to change the meaning
of the word ? Does anything exist to.
day to prevent tiie principles of democ
racy being embraced and hold by the
people ? Is there anything to prevent
a majority of a democratic convention
ruling ? And is there any reason why a
majority of the people should not be
represented in such a convention ?
Not the slightest.
Very woll. Then why should a ma
jority of our people fear to assert them
selves on the fundamental principles of
democracy? If ours is a democratic
form of government—a government by
the majority of the people—thou in the
Datno of plain, common sense, why can't
the people rule under tbc democratic
banner? What's to prevent a majority
from ruling under any banner? And
why not under tho TBl'E banner as well
as any other.
Talk about a government ol farmers—
why not talk about a government of
tailors, or shoemakers, or editors, or
auy other class or calling? In present
ing his ballot its an evidence of having a
voice in this government, no man is ever
asked what his calling or trade is.
Every honest citizen stands on a dead
level as a voter, whether ho he fitrmer
or tailor, or candle stick maker.
Of course, we all can’t bo tailors, nor
farmers; hut we all can bo pkxiocuats.
And why tho people can’t win' as Demo
crats, no one has as yot pointed out
In 1800 the South lost by withdrawing
from the Democratic party. Under the
manipulations of John C. Brcckcnridgo
and others, the South struck out under
a farmers' banner, with the shibboleth
“Cotton Is king?' What bloody work
followed Is a matter ol history. Tho
huestion now is, Are we of to-day insane
enough to repeat the gigantic political
blunder of thirty years ago? I.et our
Alliance friends of tills freo republic
think over this question and answer it.
Editor Gunn of the Cuthbert Liberal
has entered suit against the Southern
Alliance Farmer for slander. The suit
originated from Editor Gunn’s connec
tion with the mansion caucus in Atlanta,
and Dr. J. W. Stanford, the alleged
author of the objectionable article, Is in
cluded In the suit.
One of the genuine “moss back"
crackers camo in town last week and
bought a railroad ticket to one of the
near stations. And when the train oamo
in lie called the conductor otf to one side
and wanted him to take the ticket. He
thought it was necessary to give up tho
ticket before getting on the train.—
Rochelle Recorder.
, Laiuiv Ga.vtt is depending upon the
AUiotico to support hit third party
paper. Will they do it? We do not
. think they will. Larry is a clever fel
low, but he’s oil on tho third party Idea.
The Constitution of Sunday quotes Larry
as follows: “1 am tirmly convinced,”
said Larry yesterday, “that the farmers
of Georgia are in favor of the third
party, and I am going to helj> along that
idea. I expect to make my paper red
hot from the start.” Larry, you arc
mistaken, the farmers of Georgia arc
Democrats.—Thomasvllle Enterprise.
Tuis is how little Tommy Watson’s
antics appear at long range to the editor
of h Xew Orleans contemporary: Con
gressman-elect Watson, of Georgia,
caused quito a sensation by making the
charge that the Atlanta Constitution
promised to secure for him the chair
manship of an Important committee in
the event of his casting bis vote for
Judge Crisp for speakership. The Con
ttitution has denied this charge in very
rigorous language, and it appears that
no one on the paper authorized to speak
for It made such an offer to Mr. Watson,
but on the contrary that the letter wrote
to that gentleman was written by the
Washington correspondent of the Con
stitutfon presumably at the Instigation
of Congressman Amos Cummings, of
Xew York, who is managing the light in
the interest of Judge Crisp, and that
tho letter was penned without the
knowledge of either the Constitution or
Judge Crisp, and that Watson was fully
aware of tho fact at the time he made
the charge.
Theue seems to be no division among
bur people as to opinions in regard to the
Confederate veterans' home bill now up
for discussion. The universal regret
expressed yestorday by citizens in gen
eral, when the news came that the hill
had been defeated in the house, would
indicate that Amcrlcus and old Sumter
was still loyal to her old soldiers. Geor
gia’s fair name has novet been sul
lied; she should see that her record is
kept clean .her maimed, aged and tired
old veterans should be provided for.
Tennessee has a well kept home for her
Southern braves, whose destinies are
over, and whose stars arc darkening.
Virginia Lakes care of hor gallant few.
Now, will Georgia repudiate this noble
sentiment and be indifferent to him
who has braved every danger for the
protection of his native soil? Xo; give
him a home, and when llfcs’s fitful
fever Is over lay him gently in mother
oarth; all for which he fought and
surely doserves his portion. It Is prob
able that the bill may be reconsidered;
and it seems that it should.
Tue postmaster-general has at last
made awards to the captors of Rube
Burrows and Rube Smith, 81,000 to the
captors of Burrows, and $2,000 to the
captors of Smith. McDuffie having re
ceived his reward from the Southern
Express Company, allows Carter to hare
the Whole'S!,000 awarded by the post-
office department
Kev. Sam Small has retired from,the
Atlanta Herald, and now has a new
scheme on hand, lie wants to estab
lish in Atlanta a I’eoplo’s Tabernacle—g
place of worship for people who do not
belong to any church—and proposes to
teaks a start next Sunday at Concordia
ball.

Epitoh Geobgk Joxes, of the New
York Times, lately deceased, refused an
offer of $6,000,000 from Tweed not to
expos* the transactions of the Tweed
ring. This was probably the biggest
bribe ever offered; but Jones wouldn’t
consider ft for a moment; nor any other
earn. ‘ [‘. ’ ' ; V T ' :

It is remarkable how many people there
are lu the country who know just ex
actly how to run a newspaper. The
Legislature is taking a hand in this busi
ness now, and proposes to onliguton the
Georgia editor as to his duties and prlvi
lngss, and furthermore dlctato as to
when ho shall express opinions, and
when he shall hold his peace. The
freedom of tiie press is to be doomed,
and if these knowing Solons can vote
long enough a commission will probably
be appointed to tako charge of the press
gang, a meter will he put in every news
paper office, and tho news must be dealt
out to the anxious public, according to
the , legislative gauge. The Empire
State of the South, her railroads, tele
graph lines and newspapers guarded by
commissi oners'.with powers unlimited,
Can it bo that the Czar is moving this
way, or shall we again livo over tbc
days of reconstruction?
Altboi'oh the editor of the Sew York
'Sup has said that “anything ' the Al
mighty allowed to happen was fit to go
Into his columns,” he cannot'bring hlm-
sell to print Sam Jobes’ “sermons” ver
batim. He alludes to Jones as “the
Georgia cracker,” and announces that
he will not allow his disoourcos to be te-
produccd in the Sun without eliminat
ing what he regards as blasphemous
passages. Hence the Sun’s reports lack
the spicy flavor so characteristic of
Jones’ utterances, and all this because
Sam praised Editor Dana's bete noir
Grover Cleveland, saying that he was
oue of the bravest of men. An archangel
could ruin his character in Editor Dana’s
eyes If ho saw anything good in Mr.
Cleveland.
