The CrawTor dville Advocate PUBLISHED BY ATKINSON & FLURY. Eufc-retf at the Post Offiee at Crawford ville, Qi-, as Second Cla«*.M*tler. C. E. ATKINSON, \ Editois. J. A. FLUKY, 1 *L OtattFowrvff.LK, Ga., NOV., 15, IH'.io 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 aMpMtr*’ 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.
