It the Republicans were uot desperate
about their chances iu the East and the
far West, they would not have one cf
their most skillful boodle dispensers
trying to buy Alabama.
Some little excuse ought possibly to
be made for the poor deluded Weaver-
Ites, who have been shamelessly used
and abused by the slick Republican
leaders. They will know better next
time.
When Chris Magee becomes fully »c

Weaver was after the Georgia campaign.

“It must not be forgotten,” he says, times could not be found nearer home.
“that taxes bare a wonderful capacity
for tillering through all Intervening ob
stacles till they reach the bowed back of
toll and resting thero, and, therefore,
the giving away Imunties under any
form of taxation is mainly the giving
away of the wages of labor."
It is a relief to know that Weaver is
no longer In the South. Hut we may be
sure that lie will slander the South
wherever he goes, by representing it to
be full of enthusiasm for the I’eople's
party. To a newspaper man at Nash
ville he said: “The majority of white
people in the South have abandoned the
Democratic party aud embraced the
Third party, of which I am the nominee.”
Tho cltctiou of November Sth will show
which party the South has “abandoned."
Tho Third party will be “embraced
with a bear's embrace, and crushed.
The arrest of the probate judge and
the cierk of Uullock county, Alabama,
because the liepublicau and uot the
Third party was rccogolzad In the ap
pointment of the election officers, has
aroused the iudignatlun of tho people of
that State, because it is the work of
Cbria. Magee, the corruptionist who was
sent from l’ennsylvania by tho Depub-
licau National Committee to obtain the
electoral vote ol Alabama for Harrison
by bribery and fraud. The outrage upon
the county officials, however, will arouse
the Democrats all over the State and
make them more determined than ever
to defeat the ltepublican schemers and
their allies, the Third partyites.—New
Orleans States.
The Charleston News anil Courier
tells w hat ails the cotton plautcr: “He

Admitting that they do work haul all
day, which in many cases is not true, If
their work is not wisely done it Is little
better, indeed sometimes worse, than no
work at all. The farm must be con
ducted on business |tiinci|dvs and uuder
intelligent direction, ami the man who
raises all cotton and no provisions is just
like the merchant who stacks his store
with a aiugle commodity beyono the de
mand of the community lie is in, instead
of diversifying his goods and taking
more than one chance to attract trade.
When the farmers of Georgia raiso at
home the tieccsaltles of life for man
and beast, aud make cotton tho surplus
instead of the only crop, and when farms
are ruu by the same careful methods
that the man iu town lias to employ in
Ills business to make It succeed, then the
farmers will complain less about vicious
legiidatlrn, and agrlcultuial interest will
no longei be in distress. I.ct the far
mers begin by reforming their unwise
methods at home, nnd then carry on the
good work by reforming within the
Democratic party the evils which they
iind therein. The way to correct auy
evils in the Democratic party Is to get
a majority In the party in favor of the
proposed teform; not to start a new
party. If a farmer’s horse gets unruly
lie sets about correcting tho horse, but
he does not do It by try lug to drive the
cow.—Augusta Chronicle.
A Choirra ftrarr.
A reported outbreak of cholera at I lei*
metta, N. J., created much excitement
In that vicinity. Investigation showed
that the disease was not cholera, but a
violent dysentery, which is almost as
severe and dangerous as choleia, Mr.
Walter Willard, a prominent merchant
COAT or THE HOMESTEAD TROUBLE.
The people of Penosjlranla are begin
ning to understand what the Homestead
trouble la costing them. The troops
that have been maintaining the peace at
Homestead for about three months hare
been withdrawn. They have cost the
State *100.000. That is a pretty large
sum, and it will be a burden on the tax
payers that they will feel. It is proba
ble that the Carnegie association lost a
good deal more than that, and that the
atiiking workmen are out something
over el,000,000 in wages. And what has
been gained*.* Absolutely nothing. There
I* not the icmotesl probability of the i
strikers winning the strike. The Car-j
negie association Is considerably crip
pled, but it is well able to wait until it
can get workmen for the wages it offers.
The result will be that the Homestead
workmen will have to accept the terms
of the Carnegie a*N«>ciation or leave
their homes and seek employment else-
w here.
Most of tlu* striking workmen are en
titled to sympathy. They are the vic
tims of ail SHflocintion ttiat (loro not, ftt
ail times, appear to Ire controlle d by a .
desire to promote the greatest good of
the gicitfrst number.
In the Homestead trouble tbc interests
of thousands were neglected fortheben-
ilit of the few. The new scale of wage*
that the Camcgio association proposed
affected only a few of the employes, and
those few were paid \cry liberally.
Each one of them doubtless I.:.** saved
enough to live scvci.d years withoul
hdng anything. They arc not suffering
ami are not particularly anxious about
tho future. Tho ones who are in dis
tress and w lu> see suffering ahead are
the thousands of men who were earning
only enough to suppoit their families,
and who have nothing t*» depend upon
when the charity of their frieuds and
tho fund* of their association are ex
hausted.
Thero teems to l>c no justice in a
policy that makes thousands suffer that
a few dissatisfied persons may gain their
]»olnt. Whether or not the strikers have
been dealt with unjustly is not now
being considered. The only point to
which attention is directed is whether it
is wise for an organization to impose
hatdships upon hundreds, and perhaps
thousands of people because a few of
its members fail *o secure compliance
with their demands.
It may be said that if tho few had
submitted to the reduction made in their
wage* there would have been a reduc.
tion In the wages of all in a short time’
There Is nothing in the history of the
Homestead trouble to justify such an
assumption, hut even if thero is, would
It not have been wiser to have waited for
signs of a general reduction in wages
before adopting a courso that Las prac
tically broken up hundreds of homes
