Editor and Manager. THE TIMES PUBLISHING COMPANY, Amerleus, Os Americus, So., August 27, 1891. The lackland Gazette says another negro has been shot in Webster county by unknown parties. Tkb> titne the 1900—1892. victim was in a church. During services The assertion that history repeats it-[some unknown party shot through a self is as old as human nature. It may, window, and wounded a girl in the face or may not, lie true. But oue cannot tiikocgh the state (jhe governor hag signed (ft fe tion passed bj the •tegi.iaturffeyanflii; lift, Wm.

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. SI ->!. 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 ' : , -.. i-.iU.i- b 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. Larry Gawit’s "Free Lance” will enter the arena abont the middle of Sep tember, and promises to be a bummer. It will be pnbliahed in Atlanta and wilt •dvoetfee the Ocala platform.
