An Echo of Democracy ThrouKliotlt llie
Entire Kami.
The Kansas City Times, in a recent is
sue, sounds a bugle call that will rever
berate through the entire country. Here
it is:
To-night will furnish to the democrats
of Kansas City the opportunity for a
fructifying revival of the true faith. Iu
all the land there Is no leader of clearer
conception of the rules by which a free
people should conduct its government
than Charles F. Crisp of Georgia. There
is none of stronger personality and none
who has in higher degree the faculty of
conciliating opponents, of removing mis
understandings and of divesting his be
liefs of unnecessary excesses of theory
or feeling.
When Judge Crisp has spoken here
before it was for the country—for tho
west as well as for the south, for Kan
sas City as well ns for Atlanta and Sa
vannah. At tho auditorium to-night he
will have one of those audiences which
draws out tho strongest resorves of a
speaker's powers. Kansas City is im
partially an admirer of those who have
by their own deserts reached tho high
stations in tho country's service. Demo
crats will turn out with enthusiasm, and
the moderates and Republicans with in
terest. There is no city whoso people
are more ready to applaud excellence or
to listen to argument. The desire to
see the possible successor of Speaker
Reed will be supplemented by a yet
worthier mental curiosity to hear a pow
erful presentation of one side in tho
great economic controversy, in this
part of tho west the whole population
studies tariffs and .taxation, and is on
the hunt for tho final truths. At the
general meeting and at the banquet
Judge Crisp will meet ample evidence
that intellectually tho Jefferson doctrine
finds acceptance in the Missouri valley.
Georgia Normal and Industrial College.
J. Harris Chappell, presidcut of the
above college, has issued a circular to
county scbool**cpmmissloners of the
state, in reference to admission to the
college.
Among other things he says:
“As the applicants have had no oppor
tunity of making any special preparation
for the examination I would suggest that
you be not very strict in marking the
papers. Whenever you feel satisfied
from the general character of an appli
cant’s paper from your personal knowl
edge of tier advancement and capacity
that she is prepared to pursue with
profit the courso of study Indicated in
the curriculum, consider her eligible to
appointment even if she should fall to
answer correctly a number of the simple
questions asked in this examination.
“1 beg that you will hold the examina
tion and make the appointments just as
soon as practicable. If possible send
the names of the appointees to me be
fore the tenth of September, and Instruct
the girls themselves to write to me at
once, giving age, scholastic advancement,
and what department of the school they
wish to enter.”
A food Word for Jndfe Crisp.
Judge Crisp is pleasing the business
sense as well as the democratic instincts
of Missouri. He is too dignified and
able to make coarse appeals to feelings.
All his speeches and his social meetings
with people[bring out bis conservative
but vigorous way of looking at subjects.
A leader who is strong and true and yet
never slops over is a blessing to bis
party, his section and his country. If
thereisanything that sensible men dread
It is a “crazy horse” talker or writer—
one of these fellows who thinks he must
be the nine muses all at once, and must
weep, abuse, exaggerate and declaim.
Judge Crisp lias a brain with which he
directs his tongue. He thinks of a
neighborhood. Kansas City likes exact
ly that kind of men, and is getting to re
gard him more highly every day.—Kan
sas City Times.
Worried About Cordon.
According to interviews which have
appeared in the public prints tliero are
alliancemen who are not altogether sat
isfied with Senator Gordon’s failuro to
answer promptly and directly the ques
tion of the alliance convention as to how
he stands with reference to the Ocala
platform. It is probable that they had
an idea that his views with respect to
the platform had undergone a change,
and that he was prepared to announce
that he favored it.
The letter which the senator wrote in
answer to the inquiry of the convention
shows very clearly that his views with
regard to it have undergone no change.
And his position when be was elected
senator Is well known. He opposed the
sub-treasury. And it is safe to say that
he is still opposed to that feature of the
Ocala platform. In that respect he is
still in harmony with all the leading
democrats of the country.
Unless the alliance convention had in
formation that justified it in believiDg
that his views had undeigone a change
it is not easy to understand why it
adopted the resolution of inquiry. Did
it think him such a political weather
cock as to expect that he had abandon
ed his opposition to the sub-treasury
plan simply because those who advo
cated that plan appear to he in tho as
cendancy in the state?
No doubt the senator would have re-
p’ied more pointedly to the inquiry if
he lmd not desired to address tlio people
at some length upon the issues concern
ing which he differs with the alliance.
He is with the aiiianco just ns far as a
genuiiie democrat can be, aud no fur
ther. No doubt he will explain at an
early day wherein democratic doctrine
differs from alliance doctrine.—Savan
nah News.

The assertion that history repeats it
self is as old as human nature. It may,
or may not, ho true. But one cannot
help reflecting that, thirty years ago, the
South made a colossal mistake in not
lighting for its rights inside the Union
and under the old flag. That is ancient
history, and beyond remedy. But what
of the political outlook to-day ?
From the green mountains of Ver
mont to the Rio Grande, and from New
York to San Francisco, the toilers and
producers of our land are restless under
the existing order of things and the
gigantic inequality which now prevails.
For years there has been a struggle, on
the part of the majority, to remedy ex
isting evils, and to make this a govern
ment of the people in fact as well as in
name. Just how futile have been these
efforts, everybody knows. The same
“damned inequality of mankind” exists
to-day that always oxisted.
'Tis true, that thousands upon 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 theso
thousands going about it ? That’s the
question.
In times gone by the term “democ
racy” meant “government by the peo
ple.” Has anything happened in the
past thirty years to chango the meaning
of the word ? Does anything exist to
day to prevent the principles of democ
racy being embraced and held by the
people ? Is tliero anything to provent
a majority of a democratic convention
ruling ? And is there any reason why a
majority of the peoplo should not be
represented in such a convention ?
Not the slightest.
Very well. Then why should a ma
jority of our peoplo fear to assort them
selves on the fundamental principles of
democracy? If ours is a democratic
form of government—a government by
tile majority of the people—tlion In the
namo of plain, common sense, why can’t
the people rule under tho democratic
banner? What’s to proveut a majority
from ruling under any banner? And
why not under the true banner ns well
as any other.
Talk about a government of farmers—
why not talk about a government of
tailors, or shoemakers, or editors, or
any other class or calling? In present
ing his ballot as an evidenco of having a
voice Id this government, no man is ever
asked what Ids calling or trade is.
Every honest citizen stands on a dead
level as a voter, whether he he f armer
or tailor, or candle stick maker.
Of course, we all cau’t be tailors, nor
farmers; but we all can be democrats.
And why the people can’t win as Demo- WO rk.

followed is a matter of history. The

had lost hope of being cured by medical
treatment. I then went to a doctor
living in Florida, wlo treated them by

parently, for awhile, but returned as bad
as ever. I then concluded to try P. P.
