Americus, Ga. f August 220, 1891. THE FREEDOM OF THE PRESS. From time to time, in the history of our country, there have been attempts to muzzle tbe press, and in every in stance the attempt lias been so effectu ally squelched by tho people that it is surprising any man, or set of men,would bo so silly as to hazard such an unwise undertaking. Tho latest effort in this direction took place recently in our own State I.cgisla- The Macon County Citizen fears that Oglethorpe will get loRt, and wants a plat of the town made at once and put on record. There has been no plot of the town since the court house was burned several years ago. The Madisonian reports that R, K. Jones, a promineut farmer of Morgan county, had his throat badly cut in Madison Saturday night and refuses to state who did the cutting. Mr. Jones had a narrow escape from deatn. Mr. II. H. Furlow has retired from the i Madisonian and Mr. C. M. Furlow, Jr., has assumed the entire control of the j AtlSOlUtOlV PUfOs paper. The Madisonian ranks with the j tartar baking powder, best weekly newspaper* of the state, and j g T Mr. Furlow will keep it up to its present j junel^ dawlyr standard. ! ^AKlH 15 POWDER CUT PRICES Still the ule at Beall & Oakley’s.

Tbe (Vnsti- 1 <; a nn fails to the justice of tho tutionsays: charge. The Liberal-Enterprise has “For considerably more that actntury criticised jK'ine of the leaders, but has in English* rpcaking lands, andt'Si'cri* 1 - supported the Alliance, and announces ly in tIiia great republic, the right of xh*t it will continue on the same line. the press to comment on the public con- 1 duct and speeches of public men has A keali.t gentle and magnanimous been generally acknowledged and r^| h “ di ' >>“ , irn <‘ d “P *» St. Joseph, rpocted, and coufirrced in thi. reunify fifteen year* ago. according to the by provision.' i:i our federal and idyllic account given to the world from constitutions. ft was ia tbe exercise of Kansas City, a passenger train _ou the this right, and in tbe line of or dutv, Chicago, Burlington i Quincy road was that we commented on tbe action of the . •>*« U P b > * n " ble band of bandits, bouse in defeating tbe confederate home j An ”>°K ““ passengers relieved of their bill. We Mated the fact* of tbe raw in P ur **» wa * tbe travelling passenger plain English, and expressed oar opinion a S eDt of the railroad. Last Saturday he without reserve, and yet we did not once received #00 by mail from Kansas City. I ■deviate from wliat is recognired as par liamentary language. Tbe editorial con- 'tainod not a single abusive word, and it -did Dot impugn tbe honor or integrity of a single member of the house. *‘ln the course of the debate, yester day, it soon became apparent to tho members ol tbe house that the editorial complained of c-ould not, with any show of justice or reason, be successfully at tacked, and the resolution was therefore tabled. Bat it toon developed that the ill humor of tome of the members was due to tbe fact that thoy objected to the strong language contained in some of tbe interviews printed in yesterday’s Con stitution. This did not ehango the sta tus of the ease. It is the business of a newspaper to print the news, and public opinion concerning . the public acts of our legislature is most undoubtedly legit imate news, if there is such a thing. The Constitution never suppresses public opinion. It gives it a place in its col umns wliothor It suits tho paper or not; whotlier it agrees with us, or differs with us, or abuses us. Our rendors had aright to know what the peoplo thought of the rejection of the Confederate Home, and wo gave the news. “A word In conclusion. We trust that the Georgia legtalature has wltnesssd for the last time an unwise attempt to throttle the press, or to abridge its legitimate freedom. The Constitution has not attacked tbe motives, or ques tioned tbe Integrity or tho honor of aoy member of tbo goners! aaaembly in this matter, but it will always stand ready to reaffirm and reiterate every word and statement contained in Its editorial of yesterday. “A word In conoluiUn about the legis lature. It would bo impossible for aoy ono, who knows penonally those who composo It, not to appraclste the sin cerity and tbe honesty of its members. The bouse is composed of an earnest, straightforward sot of men, who do tbelr duty as they think best. We differ with thorn In tbelr disposal of the con federate homo bill. This, however, doe> not mean that wo question their honesty of purpose. “The people will take care of the home!” Mu. Kobxbt Sims of Choctaw county, Alabama, seems to be an original kind of religious teacher. IIo rejects all hu man authority, takes his own exposition of the Bible a* infallible, and conducts an illicit still. Uls followers are well armed and mighty militant, the Juice of tho corn being porliaps one of tbeir main sources of valor. They arc ready to load with lead any representa tive of the authority of the law. On the whole the Choctaw philosopher seems to possess iu a certain degree the curious combination, rather irreverently men tioned by Byron, of rum and true relig ion. Tbo whisky is illicit and the relig ion is false; but presumably Mr. .Sims supposes it to be truo. Mu. McKinley had a good deal to say the other day about silver, and declared that the farmers would not have a silver dollar worth only 80 cents; but never theless there aro thousands of farmers In this country who fully appreciate the fact that tha dollar that they are being paid to-day for tbelr wheat and corn is wuiih only 80 cents, and that the Re publican party la responsible for the coinage of such a dollar; consequently they an more than half disposed to sup port the demand that (Urer be coined on a parity with gold. A poorly dressed man had called at tho Burlington office in St. Joo, inquired for the travelling passenger agent, explained that the poor clothes concealed one of the bandits of fifteen years ago, pro duced a check for (<J0, asked that It be forwarded, and disappeared. “Bis Identity is a mystery,” so ho must have used a cashier’s check. Uls poverty of dress is of course due to efforts, at length crowned with success, to raise «J0 in fifteen years. The Interest would have amounted to more than the princi pal, but let us not ask too much of a bandit making restitution. It was thoughtful of him to send the principal after keeping It so long. CiiABLfcsTO* Is the most wonderful and remarkable city in all the land, Although shaken up by a terrible earth quake, thousands of dollars of Its prop erty destroyed, its business has never been materially affected and there are no signs of that terrible calamity now visible. The News and Courier says: With the largest cotton receipts In Its history, with Its fertilizer manufactur ing and phosphate mining industries, already vaal in proportions, greatly In creased, with numbers of new and pros perous enterpriiaa safely launohed and afloat, with a year of bleated healthful- ness, with Its wholesale and retail gro cery and dry goods trade Increasing and sound, Charleston In 1801 has taken a step forward which may be envied by any of its competitors.” Op all tbe novel propositions made In these times of new and untried plans, the one from a negro In North Carolina takes the cake. He proposes to ran for Congress next year on a platform of hla own making and of only one plank, which Is “that Congress should pay at the rate of (300 per head for the 4,000,- 000 slaves freed “as a war measure" during the civil war. Of the (300, two- thirds, It is proposed, shall go to tbe ex- master and the other third to the ex slave. It would cost (1,200,000,000, but 2 per cent fifty-year bonds could he is sued to raise that amount. Public Sale.

Ciiauxcky Depew, now in Eu rope, has said that the Blaine resolution passed by the Pennsylvania Republican convention “expresses the tinauimous opinion of the Republican party through out the country.” Tho only friends Mr. Harrison has left seem to be tho office holders and those party bosses with whom ho has made a contract of patron age for votes. A San Francisco paper proposes that the Republicans nominate Senator Stan ford for president because ho is out of accord with the professed principles of the party and is a millionaire. This is based on the conclusion that the only hope the Republicans havo of winning in the next election is to repudiate their principles and spend money freely. A Northwest girl has just shot a ne gro for following her home and insult ing her. This plucky girl has set an example which, if followed, may do much to abate a growing evil, the remedy for which the southern legisla tures have found It difficult to hit upon. It docs no harm to say that our es teemed contemporary, Tbe St. Louis Republic, shows a tendency to contem plate in a spirit of reasonableness tbe election of Hon. Cbas. F.
