The report that Secretary i
derail bis reirgnatloa to I’resi
Kin ley, which seems to be very well Georsia’s politicians and statesmen
■ " from governor-down to legislators wil 1
be there, anil possibly one of her *etm-
■ tors will be on tiie scene of possum au<l
substantiated, serves to accentuate the
trouble within the republican party
wdgrowiog out of Senator Wolcolt’i
plaintjSgainst tire president.
.The McKinley aijrainistrntioi:
been enacting a double role and th
embarrassment has come as the inevit
able result of sueh a dubious policy.
Wolcottand his associates were sent to
Europo to negotiate in good fa th for
an international bimetallic at range'
ment. They proposed to Prance and
to great Britain that with co-operation
from those .governments the United
States would reopen its mints to the
free coinage of silver, resident Mo-
Kinley related these faots in bis recent
message to congress, expressing much
satisfaction at the eneouragitfg atti-
tnde of France and intimating that
there Was yet hope of consummating
the purpose,' despite Great Britain’i
refusal to ooalesce. This very ill com'
ported With the statements made by
Secretary Gage before the House Com
mittee on banking and currency and
with the preamble to the bill- for cur
rency reform which he prepared and
cansed to bo introduced into.congress.
Mr: Gage took the position that it was
the purpose of the administration to
more firmly estalish the gold standard
M. Moline, the French Premier, who
gave sttoh favorable audience to the
Wolcott commission, and at whose
direction the French j Ambassador at
London joined the American commts-f
eionersiu the proposal to the British
Government, said m a speech before
the French Chamber of Deputies that
his government and that of the United
States were "one on the question of
bimetallism. ’’ He bad a right to think
this, because of tbe representations
made him by the accredited envoys of
the United States government. Wbst,
then, taust have been the surprise of
M. Meline when be i^ad that the
"American Minister of Finance" had
actually introduced a bill in congress
for the avowed purpose of further sub
stantia ;ing the gold standard?
Wolcott’s funions ontbreak brought
Secreb ry Gage to understand that bis
candid avowals had embarrassed the
^administration and he adopted the
proper and the manly course when be
offered to resign. Secretary Gage is
not/4 practical politician. He could
easily have avoided that apparent con
flict by a more diplomatic statement,
butsinco be created the trouble be
■honld furnish the remedy. The re
fusal of the president to accept Secre
tary Gtge’a resignation would seem to
indicate that he intends to abide by
the secretary’s position. It is a per
fectly apparent fact, however, that
Gage and Wolcott do not agree on the
monejj question, and where they divid
tho republican party is bound to divide
eventually. It can’t continue to carry
water on both shoulders.
Secretary Gage would probably like
to eaetpe the duties of the Treasury
office and retire to his hank at Chicago
There,doesn’t appear to be much fntnre
glory in the position for him to reap.
Congress is iu no mood to adopt bis
measure of currency reform. Wolcott
is not the only republican lea ler who
is refractory. Mr. Gage accepted office
with tbe idea that he conld put his
views into practice, but he now realizes
tbe impossibility of doing so. He sees
that his administration of toe treasury
office will be void of praotica! results
aud he donbtjess feels a desire to with
draw from the barren undertaking.—

Senator Bacon wou’t'be at the New-
nau ’jjos'um anppyr Friday night..
ed where there is 'possum.
At least so thought the ‘committee
Iu eeuding aronnd invitations, in the
shuffle, as it were, Senator Bacon was
overlooked
If tbe oommittee hadn't taken such
pains to invite all the piiblie men in
tbe state the Senior Georgia senator
might not have felt so keenly the "ov
ersight. ” Bat even the small potato
politicians were noticed while a United
States senator was overlooked.
The invitations to tbe 'possom sup
per were sent out last week. They are
cute little things, printed on rough
brown paper with a profusion of 'pos
sum heads as a border. The committee
had over-six hundred of theca struck.
It was night before last that Senator
Bacon passed through Atlanta on his
way to Washington.
"Going to the 'possum supper, of
course,” said a gentleman who happen
ed to meet np with him.
"Havn’tgotan invitation,” replied
the senator.
In considerably less than no time it
was noised aronnd that one of tbe most
prominent men in Georgia had been
left ont of tbe great political’possn,m'
gathering. ' Those who heard it were
ever more surprised when they heard
it was Senator Bacon who had been
slighted. Why was it? they asked.
Bnt tbe answer cometh not even yet.
Some people, however, think they
have fonnd a solntion of the enigma Id
tbe fact that Governor Atkinson, who
s known to be a great influence in the
possnm feast, is a candidate for
con’s sest in the senate, and be pc
bly thought it good politics not to have
bis opponent present at. the great sap
per where the politicians of the state
would be gathered.
So it was not nntil after it was noised
■boat that Senator Bacon had been
slighted that an invitation was finally,
sent him. This was yesterday, a week
after the other invitations had been
sent ont. Of oonrse Senator Bacon
being in Washington, would not get
the invitation in time to attend now,
even if he was inclined to do so, after
being slighted.
A gentleman who is identified with
the coming feast explained that tbe
invitations ran out before Senator Ba
con’s name was reaehed, bnt it is known
that over COO invitations wero printed
and several gentlemen were given
batches to give out to their friends.
Among those who were supplied with
invitations to hand ont, it is said, were
the governor, his private secretary and
Librarian Brown.
Tbe papers were certainly right in
saying that there would be a lot of
politics mixed np in the Newnan 'pos
snm sapper.—Atlanta Commercial.

ever take an interest in all questions
whether they be of state or national
iaane, especially when the honor of
tbe entire commonwealth of old Geor
gia is at stake and seems directly in

ponenr with the business men of that
city in protesting against the appoint
ment of John H Deveanxss collector
of tbe port should meet tho hearty
condemnation of every patriotic white
man of this state It is in all truth a
vital issue which not only concerns
Savannah bnt all Georgia and tbe
Sontb, and the entire people should
see to it that those pnhlio officials of
Savannah, who have ont of personal
spleen or the desire for personal gain,
seen fit to establish such an unholy
and unheard of precedent, should he
everlastingly relegated to private life
and go down in history brand-d as
men without city pride or national
honor, and as public servants wbo
bave demonstrated to the world that
they love themselves and the Bmall
emoluments of publicoffice better than
the honor of the sta'e which gave them
birth and the country which gives
them, their wives and their children
liberty aud protection.

Evidently there is a typographical
error in the above. Didn’t Editor
McIntosh mean "drnnktion?”
In the recent atrnggle of tbe Citizens
and Liberal elnbs of Savannah before
tbe legislstnre for the privilege of pass
ing seversl local bills affecting the an
tbority of the present mnnioipal body, it
was charged by the Citizens olub that
the mayor and couneil did not represent
tbe organized democracy, bnt were
elected and dominated by tbe negro
voters of the oity. The recent aation
of that body in regard to tbe oolleotor-
sbipmitter would most ss-uredly in
dicate that tbe Citizens’ dnb made no
in their open and publicly
expressed avowals concerning tbe
mayor and council who are the leaders
of the Liberal olnb.
