There ha* been a political funeral
with the Democratic party the past
week.
There is no wiping the fact out that
the Democratic party has weakened on
the silver tight and arc rc idy to accept
anything that the National Democratic
Convention endorses.
The Democratic press have been
doting ou what they call “Tom Wat¬
son’s mistake.” Nevrr realizing at^all
that the mistakes of their own party
are beyond enumeration, and well
might they remark,
“Oh, the power of gift to gi'c us,
To see ourselves as others see us.’’
The real issue in the next campaign
will he whether this is to be a “govern
incut of the people, for the people and
by the people,” as declared by the im¬
mortal Lincoln, or whether it is to be
n “government of the money lendeia
for the money lenders and by the
money lenders.” as represented by the
Bolhsehild-Shcrman-Cleveland syndi¬
cate. This would seem to be a big
enough issue for any party.—Ex.
The Democratic pi ess has been try¬
ing to explain the cause of the recent
defeat of the Democratic party made
in Kentucky, Maryland, New York,
Ohio, Massachusetts, Iowa, Kansas,
New Jersey, Nebraska and Fcnnsyl
vania, but in it they canuot console
'themselves, as the matter is too plain,
that the people have found out that
democracy cannot he relied on when
it cornea to pledges enunciated in their
platform. While we do not claim that
they have made a wise selection in
going over to the Republican party,yet
we are constrained to believe that
whatever is’promised by the Republi¬
can party will be faithfully carried out
and no false generalities will be
practiced as were done by the Demo¬
cratic. party.
The result of Inst week’s election
clearly demonstrates that the Demo¬
cratic party has seen its best days, and
the only hope now left for a thorough
reformation in our political affairs will
be through the People’s Party. No
material change will be made in the
financial condition of our counuy
through the Republican party. Of
•course there must bo a change in the
financial condition of our country, but
we are frank to say that we da not be¬
lieve that change of condition will ever
be brought through either () f the old
parties, and nothing can bring this
change of condition ouly through the
People’* l*arty.
5t is now very plain that the prohibi¬
tion bill now before the legislature
’will meet with defeat. But it will be
dun to the complexion of the members
now composing the State Legislature,
key being largely Democratic. The
Democratic party aa is well known, is
favorable to whisky, for it is through
this agency that the Democratic party
has been successful in carrying elec¬
tions. If the prohibition party in
Georgia ever expect to have prohibi¬
tion euacted into law, it will first have
to eiect Representatives that a-e in ac¬
cord with the prohibition move; but
this cannot be done through the Demo¬
cratic party, for it is a well known fact
that Democracy is alied to the whisky
WOULD BE A MISTAKE.
The Herald-Journal of Greenesboro’,
voices our sentiment iu the following :
“If South Carolina persists in her
(or Tillman’s) determination to dis¬
franchise illiterate voters we believe
that State will reap in sorrow the seed
she sows.
The heart of the ignorant masses is
all right, and though not versed in
book learning, “a man’s a man for a’
that.” The common people of the
State will not tamely submit, however,
to the establishing of an oligarchy, and
brooding over the outrage perpetrated
upon them in the name of law, as
certain to decrease their respect
the rulers who foist themselves upon
them, and for law itself.
In this free American country the
humblest citizen is a sovereign when
he keepB the laws, and any effort to
deprive him of his suffrage is a crime
against God and a rape of the
constitution. , ’
Lat South Carolina pass all the laws
she wishes against bribery; let
place the criminal who proffers a bribe
on the same footing with the
wretch who sells his ballot for a drink
or other sonsideration; let illegal
debarred for crime or non-payment
taxes, be severely dealt with; but
the B&me of decency and justice, the
State should not debar au honest citi¬
zen who never bad educational

RIDICULE ho ARGUMENT.
No political pattv ever existed tJirt
in its beginnings was tm> t e utiit'
fully ridiculed than the Hcptih..c
party; and perhaps no parly was <•'
more wickedly misrepresented 1>\ *
opponents, llut, ridicule did not alT-<■
it. It went steadily forward to mar
velous victory. And one w< u d mi;
pose lhat, remembering ils own
perience, ils press would know b> t r
than to think it canjcrush any politic;.,
movement by ridicule. Vet that is the
chief weapon which is winded against
the advocates of free coinage and the
Populists. It is both futile and foolish.
Roth (lie silver sentiment and 'he
Populist movement have grown and
are growing They are elements in
our politics that no sensible
will ignore, for one of the plainest
principles of generalship is to rccog
nize the strength of the opposing army.
We are constantly told that the “silver
craze” is dead. It is uot. a craze and
t is not dead. We are repeatedly in¬
formed the “Populist folly” is over.
The Populist creed is no more a folly
than any other political creed and not
nearly so much as some; and il is not
over. No movement that is hacked
by men of conviction, as the Populist
movement is backed, is ever over until
it achieves a victory. The
Voice is not a partisan paper. It dis¬
cusses polideal matters from an inde¬
pendent standpoint and it simply gives
expression’to political facts. Jt is not
responsible for the faeis.—Farmers’
Voice.
A BOILING STREAM OF WATER.
Memphis Commercial-Appeal: The
flaming meteor visible at !» o’clock on
Wednesday night all over Arkansas
and west Tennessee is the general topic
of conversation. Its first appearance
from Little Rock was at a point in the
horizon in the west by 5 degrees north.
Ils course was to the south at an angle
of 7 degrees from the meridian. The
flame was from 15 to 20 degrees in
length and 3 degrees at the widest point,
and so dazzling as to hurt the eyes
The color had a grecni-h blue tinge
similar to the burning of a trolley wire
by a bad electric connection. Many
thought that it must have landed with¬
in only a few hundred yard of them.
Now, however, its location is definitely
settled. Recently a man from the
South we tern part of the state gave
this acc< it of an occurrence that made
the peo^ prepare for the end of time:
The o 'r tnorniug the farmers and
fishertm . along the Little river and
the Redwivcr, helow the junction of
the two, noticed a large number of fish
tloatiug down uud that the water was
hot. An investigation showed the fish
to be cooked. Alarmed at this, a par¬
ty was finally formed to go up and in¬
vestigate the cause. Touching the
river at various points as they proceeded
on horseback, they noticed lhat the
water was getting hotter and hotter,
aud they could trace the entire course
of the river by the rising stream. The
negroes had all quit the cotton fields
and lumber camps and gathered around
their preacher wherever they could be
found. And the preachers, with bul¬
ging eyes, shaking knees and melting
words, were wrestling with the Lord
as did Jacob of old with the angel. Ou
the party pressed, getting smaller each
mile, as some brother thought his filial
hour could best be spent under a
preacher’s fervent prayer, and drop
out to join the negro impromptu camp
meetings.
Roumling a sharp bend, they came
upon the white chalk cliffs of the Little
river in the county of the same name,
and just south of the junction of that
county with Howard and Sevier. There
they beheld a sight so demonstrative
of the power of God and the insignifi¬
cance of man lhat every man iu the
party, moved by the same impulse, fell
from his horse prone on the ground,
while the animals quaked with fear aud
trembliug and huddled together.
The meteor bad hit the chalk cliff,
literally tearing through it a hole 100
feet wide from the top to the water’s
edge. The exposed portions of the fis¬
sure had been melted by the intense
heat and friction. There iu the Little
river stood the lost starlet, (anchored
deep iu the bed of the river, leaving
barely room for the water to pass ou
the southwest side, and projecting
twenty feet above the level of the wa¬
ter. The exposed portion was still
lurid with the heat of its rapid tiansi t
through the air, and the water was
boiling. Navigation beyoud this point
will be impossible until the Little river
cuts a new channel to the south.
Dr. Battev, the distinguished sur
geou, died at his home in Rome, Ga.,
on Friday night of last week, after a
lingering illness. Dr. Battev was one
of the most prominent citixens of this
State, and had built a world wide fame
for hi* skillfulness iu surgery. He was
loved and esteemed by all who knew
him.
Tbe Populist aud “silver craze” that
has been re ported dead some many
times by the goldbug press, is gettiDg
to be a pretty lively corpse.
