PLANS SPLENDIDLY LAID
WRIGHT’S APPEAL FOR WRIGHT
Hill and Olney are said to be man-
oeuvering for the democratic presiden
tial nomination in tool. Well, let
them manoeuvre, if they hare time to
waste, Tho people oro now more in
forested in raising hog and hominy and
building factories. The presidential
question may be taken up three years
hence.—Angusta Chronicle.
Seaborn Wright, tho populist leader
who for years bent his best energies to
break down and disrupt the democratic
party in Oeorgia, hoping thereby to ride
into political power is again masquer-
ding before the people. On every pop
ulist question which came before the
legislators the gentleman from
Floyd wonld rise majestically
the floor of the Honse and with
It wonld appear that Russell Harri
son has a good case against his father
and a snit for maintenance against the
ex-President ought to result in Rasa'
favor. With the old gentleman hold
log and expressing the views he does
soncerning the administration and its
policy it was a foregone conclusion that
the boy would be deprived of rank and
pay in the army at the first opportunity
and cast upon the cold world. Surely
Denjamin will "produce" to a fair
amount if thq matter is presented to
him rightly.
Editor Richard H. Edmonds, of the
Manufacturers' Record, has just re
turned from a trip through parts of
the south. Always optimistic, Mr. Ed
monds is specially so now. He tells
the Baltimore Evening News that
‘throughout the entire south there is a
degreo of prosperity aud of hopefulness
as to the future which has not been
seen to the same extent for many years.
In fact, the south is to-day more nui
formly prosperous, aud with a greater
abundance of capital, thau at buy time
since the war. Hub is due in part to
the gra(tnal[aceumnlatlou of capita! of
recent years, the very great prosperity
of manufacturing interests, the devel
opment of railroads aud the investment
of large capital from outside sources;
bnt it is especially emphasized this
year by the enormous value of tbe eot'
too crop.”
LET CONGRESS ACT
It isa well-known fact that a Hebrew
cadet at tuber West Point or Annapo
lis is subjected to every conceivable
indignity and every possible form of
brutality that can bo iuflictcd any
where in sight of the ordinary methods
of hazing; and it is equally true that a
tadet of the institutions who is a sin-
terely religious man, aud who aims to
live a consistent religious life, is sub
jected to insult and brutality at almost
every turn. Booz was hated aud bru
tally hazed by his classmates cbielly
because he chose to lives consistently
religious life. For that offense to bis
^ 'assmatc he was insolently spoken cf
Dooz." A committee of Con-
gressi8v«houId proceed as sjieedily to
West l’oin^fqud make a thorough in
vestigation oYUdtis systematic brutality
that is admittedly practiced on a num
ber of the cadets. With such an in
vestigation and the report that such a
committee would make, Congress
wonld certainly act promptly and most
incisively in breaking np the whole
tube system at West Point and An-
that seductive eloquence which he
is at ail times capable of uttering cry-
out "Mr. Speaker, in tbe name of God
and tbe common people I appeal to
the Honse to stand firm." Now Mr,
Wright the common people are not
fools; they have long ago caught on to
yonr little racket and understand folly
that yonr appeal should really read
thus. “Mr. Speaker, in the name of
God and for Seaborn Wright, I appeal
to the members of the House to stand
firm,
The entire membership of the Geor
gia Legislature were regaled with an
oyster roast and a beer fill at the bauds
of an Atlanta brewery on Wednesday
last. The passage of a bill to repeal
the beer tax in toto is seriously con
templated by the Cracker Solons.—

Japan does not play the fool by a
long shot iu aligning herself with
Engiaud and Germany. The twogreat
nations Japan has to fear are Russia
aud tbe United States, one crowding
her from east and tfye other 'from the
west. Japan has ceased to be a sucker.
Christmas is a happy season or
weary one, as we make it. If we keep
within the limits of onr purse, give our
presents to display our good will and
not our extravagance, the Chrstmas-
tide will be a refreshing season for
