Tbe Atlanta Constitution, which has
heretofore been booming Hill for tbe
Presidency, seems now to be getting
ready to take up Cleveland, who will no
donbt be presented by the Mew Toi
Delegation to tbe.natlonal convention.
A THisxnro farmer, a strong aliiance-
man and friend of tbe subtreasury idea
•sid'to tbe editor of Tbe Liberal-Enter
prise a few days ago, “Hoe can we ever
hope to keep any money in this country
as long as we send away frdm borne to
bny everything we use?”
The trial of Mr. Louia 11. Patillo for
the killing of Ur. Charles P. Hudson was
ocnoluded In Richmond Superior Court
at 8 o'clock Wednesday night, wlieu the
jury returned a verdict of not guilty.
This verdiot seems to have been general
ly expected by tbe public.
At last the agony Is over, and Geor
gia has an Episcopal Bishop Dr. Nel
son has definitely accepted the tender,
subjeot to tbs usual formality of satis
faction prevailing in bis churoh. Geor
gia Is to be congratulated upon tho acqui
sition of such a gentleman as Dr. Nelson
to the Blshoprio. He seems to possess
all toe qualifications needed for this high
office; and being as yet only SO years old,
has thirty or forty years of - active ser
vice ahead of him.
Tub Athens Ledger nominates Cspt.
Evan P. Howall of Atlanta for Governor.
Wo have known Capt. Howell for year*,
and he Is a good .and true man, and
never went back on a promise or friend.
He Is honest and sincere in bis views,
and If we go outelde of the alliance
ranks for aohlef magistrate, we had
rather soe Capt. Howell sleeted Gov
ernor than any other man in Georgia.
Ifhe promised tbe alllanoe to standby
them he will do It.—Southern Alliance
Farmer.
Tbe Ocala convention set apart 1891
as a year for education, and alUanoemen
weie admonished igilnit tuxy
prominent part In politics until after the
February convention. Tbe people's
party nominated tickets and acted on
Its own responsibility; and tbe defeat
with which It met shows the folly of one
branch of the alliance running off In ad
vance of the main body. This will be
the remit In Georgia If the third party
advocates are too previous.—Southern
Alliance Fanner.
Tbe last spike In the Montgomery end
of the Savannah, Americas A Montgom
ery railroad extension was drives yes
terday, and In a few day’s more regular
trains will run Into Montgomery. This
means more for Americas than any other
one event of her hlatory, and marks the
successful completion of an enterprise
fraught with the greatest possibilities to
this oity and seetlon; and under disad
vantageous conditions that few others
could have overcome so well. Let
everybody be happy over the ansplolons
event.
As might havs been expected, Tom
Watson has gone over bag and baggage
to the Third Party, If the reports from
the Indianapolis convention are reliable.
The Colnmbns Enquirer voices the sen
timent of every deoent man in tbe State
when it saya: “Mr. Watson was elected
to Congress just as Col. Livingston was.
He made tbe race ss a Democrat. He
was nominated and elected by the Demo
cratic party. His desertion to the Third
party Is not only Ingratitude of the worst
sort, but It Is political treachery for
which there In no defence."
Of all the bright ideas yet advanced
by which the farmers are to get on top,
the Constitution comes to tho front with
one of the brightest. The only element
of impracticability about It la that It
takes tbe co-operation of several million
men to make It successful, and therein
is its fatal defect. The scheme Is for
tbe farmers to buy five to ten million
balm for future delivery, and then not
plant a seed. The parties who sold the
futures to tbe farmers couldn’t get any
i to deliver on their contracts and
ey could thus be made to settle on the
era own terms.
A WARLIKE EDITOR.
Editor Gantt seems to hare been made
specially vicious by bis recent Illness,
at least be Is ss belligerent ash hyena
with the tootbaohe, and Is not only mak
ing It exceedingly Interesting for
political adversaries, but Is firing into
those clerical gentlemen whom he desig
nates “sensational preachers,” Jones,
Small, Wadsworth and Lee, with
characteristic charges of grape and can
ister.
Among other things, he says of
two Utter:
There never was a more .hsraslul outrage
perpetrated from tbe pulpit tbsa Mr. Wads-
wortb'a at taolu upon tbe Episcopal sod Bap-
U<t ehurchss; and bis bitter dsnouncletlon
of tbs eltlsena or Augusta will certainly
pises a (tumbling block In tbe war of
sux-t-smir in til# pulpit be now occupies.
Mr. Wadsworth la to tbs ehuioh what John
Sullivan la to the sportlog fraternity. He
a sort or clerical prise dsbter. and leaves
braised hearts and bad blood behind btiu
wherever he goes. Soms years ago he In
salted from Ins pnipit *n Athens, and with
out provocation, several of the noblesl
Christian ladles in that city. He bad boa
divided and left a feeling ordlscord and dlvl-
•loo In many good families. It would bava
been far hitter to bars left tbe Mstboalst
pulpit la Aihsna unfilled for s year than sup
plier It with su.-b a surer up of strife as Mr.
Wadsworth.
“Of to# poll!leal preachers, we have here

COUNT AT THE GIN.
Mr. W. F. Gay, a farmer of Meriweth
er oounty, advances an idea that Is aim
pie and practicable, and should be st
once adopted.
It Is to ascertain the actual cotton re
ceipts at the Initial point, tbe ginnery,
and report from that point Instead of
the ports. This not only Insures abso
lute accuracy, a thing not now obtained
by the port system, but gives the figure*
many days earlier than by the present
system.
Every ginnery in the South keeps*
record of the number of bales It turns
out, and with rery little trouble their
reports can be consolidated day by day
and furnished tbe cotton exchanges.
Those ginneries that are away from
towns could tend in by their patrons
who are hauling to market the daily
reports, and thus practically everything
would be covered.
A* tbe farmers are Interested In keep
log up with this kind of newe, they
would take pains to see that this service
was prompt
It la certainly worth a trial Mr, Gay’
idea la strongly endorsed by tbe Const!
tution, to whom hit suggestion Is made.
Tub New York Herald of Tuesday
make* appalling disclosure* In reference
to the evasion of the provisions of this
government against pauper Immigration
by Inspectors and others, and also in
reference to horrible and criminal neg
lect by officers of steamships of tbe
steerage passengers.
/Tub Atlanta Herald is the most en-
aiastlo Cleveland paper In the State.
J leading editorial of Thursday puts his
name to the front as the Herald's choice,
and it proceeds forthwith to eleot hi;
'°u*l£re*ident of the United States.
None of the State weeklies get in any
more opportune work on the eeonomto
questions than the Cutbbert Liberal-En
terprise, from wbleh tbe following Is re
produced with the endorsement of The
Times Kecobdeb: “Tbe present money
stringency in tbe South is not tbe result
of any action of the Alliance, nor It it
tbe result of any organised effort to
break down tbe Alliance. It It the
suit of tbe foolish policy of the people of
the South In lending all tbe money they
can “rake and scrape” and then strain
ing their credit to bay wbat should be
produced at home; the silly polley of
raising more ootton than tbe world wants
and raising none, or very little, of tbe
things that we want It le |the result of
the foolish game of “heads I win, tails
yon lose" that we bars been playing.
Tbe other fellows win and we lose, no
matter wbleh way the penny fells. No
possible governmental financial system
can give relief tbst will be permanent
unless we change our tactic*'”
Pbesideet Polk of the National Far
mers’ Alliance 'wee re-elected without
opposition. It lee matter of regret that
Colonel Livingston did not get this
place, at be Is a man Of much more abil
ity than Polk. The tronbte seems to
have been that Livingston was too mneb
of a Democrat to satisfy the third party
element that baa control of the conven
tion. He protested against the resolu
tion Instructing Alliance Congressmen
to keep out of the oaucusses of the two
parties. He advised the convention that
l.e had been elected to Congress as a
Democrat, and that he proposed to act
with bis party regardless of any instruc
tions given him by tbe Alliance. Colonel
Livingston, as a Democrat, nominated
and elected by the Democrats of hi*
diatriet, could not, consistently, take any
other position, nor can any Democratic
Congressman reconcile a different coarse
with a deoent sense of political honesty.
Ukdbb the new apportionment the
Southern States gained several Congress-
and her total vote In the electoral
college will be 189. It la not likely that
that one of theoe will be lost to tbe Dem
ocratic candidate*. The votes of Con
necticut 0, of Now York 86, Jfow Jersey
10 and Indiana IS, make a total of 07.
Their vote* too are reasonably certain
for the Democracy and wtU make a
grand total of 220. This would elect
the ticket and give them eight majority
over the Republicans. We have at least
votes from Michigan, as the last legis
lature passed a law by wbleh the vote of
the 8tate will not be wild for either
party. In addition there Is a fighting
chance for Illinois, Wlseonsln, Iowa,
Massachusetts, Rhode bland End New
Hampshire.
