LAND STILL FREE
Wbeu every other source of wealth
has been absorbed by wealthy conibi-
nations, will not farming lands, the
greatest of all sources of wealth, be
taken in hand to pile the millions still
higher? We believe this to he the in-
COMMERCIAL DEMOCRACY.
While on his recent visit to Saratoga
Congressman Bartlett met W. C Whit
ney, former Senator Gorman and many
othei distinguished Democrats, who
were there, and he absorbed a large
and encouraging supply of Democratic
evitable tendency of the times. Is there ! sentiment. He is eoulldent that the
any way to prevent this dire cousum- j Democrats are going to carry XewYork

matters of business,money is almighty.
Individuals may escape the insatiate
maw of the oetoims, only by better
methods of farming and farm improve
meut that will make the business so
pleasant and profitable that there can
be no temptation to sell. But combina
tions have a way of their own of com
pelling submission, and hence it will
be necessary that a sufficient number,
for self-protection, adopt the remedy
suggested. To avoid the catastrophe,
we must have a general awaking of
thirst for farm education and improved
farm management. This is the only
way to save American agriculture for
American homes. — Texas Farm and

Every assassin is a coward. The wal
lowing of Czolgosz on the tloor of Au
burn prison when he heard the shouts
of tho mob outside shows the stuff of
which anarchists are made
Every kuown anarchist in London is
ander the constant surveilliancc of the
police department. It is only in the
United States that members of the
murder league are allowed to go as
they please.
Sir Thomas Lipton says of Satur
day’s race: "There is some satisfaction
in knowing that under weather ccndi-
tions not at all favorable to her, Sham
rock made the linost record that has
ever been made in an attempt to lift
the cup.”
Senator Banna thus explains the
cause for Senator Wellington’s animos
ity for President McKinley: "Mr.Wel
lington recommended the appointment
af a certain young constituent to a con
snlship. Just as tho president was
about to announce tho appointment,
senator Wellington hal a ijuarrol with
the candidate’s father and withdrew
tho recommendation. President Me
Kinloy, however, had told tho young
man that he would appoint him, and,
accordingly did bo. Mr. Wellington
was bitterly disappointed when ho call
ed at the White Bouse to ask that
the olfico be conferred upon another.
This was tho cause of tho antagonism
of the Maryland serator for the late
president. I do not think there was
any other friction betwoen them."
Apropos of monuments erected by
subscriptions of southern people, it
soems to us that we have heard of a
movement started in Atlanta not long
since to erect a monument to gallant
Tom Brumby, of Georgia, but as yet
we have not read tho announcement
that the monument had been erected
that the subscription list has been
completed. It seems to have gone the
ay of tho inovememeut to erect a
monument to President Davis. A big
hurrab, a rush ol subscriptions, a lag
ging interest and then neglect.
It would be quite appropriate if At
lanta would finish this noble work and
perpetuate in marble a brave and gal
lant Georgian. But Brumby can wait
and so can President Davie. Atlanta
has an emergency monumont to erect
just now. It will not keep until the
otherB are completed.—Athens Banner.
HI3 ADMINISTRATION A SUCCESS
OLD VETERANS ARE HOMELESS.
The ill fated soldiers home, over
which there has been so much squab
hling.is now a hoap of rums anil.71 old
Confederate veterans are thrown on the
cold eharity of the world, homeless and
dependent. The burning of this insti
tution must bring regret to every pa
triotic Georgian,and doubtless the nec
cssary funds to rebuild will he speedily
subscribed. The Augusta Chronicle
says:
“This is a-ttcrcil charge upou' the
people of Ooorgia.aud ono about which
there cau lie no delay. The 810,100 that
will bo uvesssary to rebuild the home,
should bo subscribed immediately. Ev
ery public-spirited Georgian and loyal
friendgj the old Coufo.ierato soldiers
oughflo subscribe promptly. A small
subscription given immediately,will be
more valuable than a larger one long
deferred If every to»u in the state
will take hold of this matter at once,
and there is any sort of response to
the call,the fund should be raised with
in a week.
“But even if the 810,000 is promptly
subscribed, it w ill take some time to
rebuild the home, and the necessity for
the immediate care of the homeless old
soldiers is upou us. Bon. Wm.T.Gary
makes the practical suggestion that
some summer hotel, which is now un
occupied, shall he rented at once by
the state for the temporary home, un
til tho now one shall be rebuilt,or some
other permanent course shall have been
determined upon. The State has made
an appropriation for the maintenance
of the home, and If a temporary shelter
is rented the old soldiers can he sup
ported in it just as they would have
been had the home not been destroyed.
The Times-Reoorder will receive sub
scription* from any of onr citizens who
wish to contribute to the rebuilding of
the Soldiers' Home.

Coming nearer home, Mr.Bartlett at
tended to the political situation in
Sonth Carolina and the prospects of
Senator McLaurin being re-elected to
the senate.
He was asked while in New York
how the average Democrat regards the
so-called "commercial Democratic”
movement. With characteristic emphat
icness he proceeded to repudiate the
movement from a loyal Democratic
standpoint, and gave the New York
ers his definition of a commercial
Democrat.
Said he: “A commercial Democrat is
one who is willing to sell his principles
either for money or federal patronage;
that is about all there is to the so-
called commercial Democratic move
ment in Sonth Carolina and the South
ern states generally.’’—Macon News.
No President ever began an udminis
tration under more favorable auspices
than Roosevelt, says the Savannah
Nows. The Republican party is solid
ly behind him, and he has received
numerous assurances from leading
Democrats that they will contribute
all in their power towards making
his administration a splendid success
There probably never was a time
since Washington when there was less
factionalism and political bitterness
in the United States.

The Philadelphia Ledger well says:
"It would be interesting and might
be important to know just how Senator
Baeon defined ‘freedom, ub it is known
in America,' when he promised the Fil
ipinos that they should receive that
blossing os soon as the war was finish
ed. Docs that mean that the islands
ate to be admitted to the Union as
either Statos or Territories? And who
authorized the Senator to mako suoh a
promise in the name of ttie United
Statos Government, anyway?”

Tampa, Fla.,'Oct. 1.—Several Resis-

want to go to work. Some of them were
caught red-handed in their work. The
officers have secured tho confidence of
the rank and file of the meD, and when
they are threatened they walk right up
