A WONDERFUL DREAM.
INTI'.BWOVKN WITH Till'. TSORY
OKA V IST.
Vexatious Experience of a Populist.
< lIAPTEH V.
The fast mail train over the Populis
town and Beersheba road, ou which 1
was a passenger, made rapid time aud
but few stops, and covered the entire
distance of one hundred aud sixty two
miles in three hours and fifteen min
utes.
During this time my mind was occu
pied in reviewing the lessons I had
learned, and thinking of what success
I would probably have in exchanging
my Democratic suit for an international
garment which would equipp me for
my .Mexican trip, snd wontiering how
well the secret of the cause of my ab
sence had been kept. This was of
still greater importance now since I
had met with disappointment and failed
to accomplish the object of my visit to
Populistown.
The only international garment 1
had any know ledge of in the state of
Beersheba was a vest owned by Rural,
whom we Populists and our suollygos
ter friends all tried very hard to regard
as a veritable crank. I knew that he
had obtained this vest at considerable
expense and prized it very highly, but
1 also knew that he was a strong be
liever in Dimocracy; so Ij thought it
likely that anything Democratic might
satisfy him. and I could easily exchange
my new suit for his vest.
When the train rounded the last
curve at Webb Hill and sounded the
long whistle for Beersheba I arose to
my feet, and as soon as we came to a
standstill under the shed I alighted and
with my bundle under my arm started
up capital street, and as good luck
would have it I met Rural coming from
the post office, where he had been to
receive a package which he was expec
ting from Hoke Smith or Carlisle which
probably contained rabbit feet, buckeye
balls and other conjurers tricks and
hoodoo goods with which he thought
he could eo“r"jafe'Pop*uHstg into being
Democrats. Of course I did not be
lieve in these superstitions, but I con
fess that I was a little careful to keep
out of reach of the scratches of his rah
bit feet.
J approached him in my usual good
humored wav, told him I had to go to
Mexico on business affecting the inter
ests of our state, and as it was of a sort
of international nature, and required a
trip into a foreign country, I would
like to trade for his vest.
He said be would accept neither
mouey nor any amount of clothing for
it; for clothes was no object to him now
but if I would wear the vest I was wel
como to it. I did not understand why
he Bmntd so independent about cloth
ing; for I knew he was a poor man, a
fact which he did uot deny, and which
had often been alluded to by Populists
and snoilygosters in trying to weaken
the force of things said by him.
His independence, however, was not
my business, aud I greatfully accepted
his generous offer, took the vest aud
hurried home to prepare for my jour
ney to Mexico.
Only two things of importance re
mained to be considered: the mode of
travel and the route to take. It would
not do for me, a high official, either to
walk, or ride a mule to a foreign coun
try on international business. Neither
did 1 like to take any risks of coming
in contact with greasers on the Mexi
can border, whom the Texas cowboys
kept provoked to auger all the time,
nor the indignant Spaniards or resolute
iusuigenis that I would be likely to
encounter anywhere near the coasts of
Cuba.
So I decided to go by rail to New
Orleans, thence by steamer to Vera
Cruz, and thence overland to the city
of Mexico; and in accordance with this
decision I fitted up a special car, took
toy family and a few friends with me,
and struck out for New Orleans over
the 15. and N 0. road.
In due time we arrived at New Or
leans, where we met quite a number of j
good Populist friends, several of whom
decided to accompany us on our trip to
Mexico.
Here we chartered a steamer, and
after some disputing about whether we
should name her, “Free Silver,” or
-The Populist,” we finally compromis
ed on the latter name to be put on her
in large silver letters. IV e now locked
the doors and wheels of our car, went
on board “The Populist” and sailed for
?Jexico.

Mr. Elitor:—l had decided not to
write further, although have had ur
_>ent inquests to express our views more
fully, and especially to express our
-eutiraents with regard to passing
events. We are willing to be silent, or
make almost anv concession for harmo
ny; hut for people to he crying out
harmony and peace, and leaving noth
ing undone or unsaid to get us commit
ted to perpetuate ou us a ruinous
system of finances, we think it proper
for some one to speak out. Brother
Editor, a few issues ba:k you favored
us with a nicely written article from
another paper commeudiug it to us in
the interest of harmony, which we
thought good ad vice to all democrats;
hut just beside it was an article filling
a column of space that might have
been valuable, written bv somebody
connected with the Atlanta Journal
about free coinage of pig iron. We
are not surprised at what, or anything
the Journal says or does. Its head as
late as 1894 was yelling over the state
that a gold standard is uuwise and
dangerous; that it would contract the
currencey check industry, suppress bus
iness, turn honest men out of business
etc. lie was Col. Hoke Smith of
Georgia then, and a democrat. What
he aud the Journal is now or will be
next year is beyond knowledge; but
we would like to know whether that
article was intended for burlesque, or
was it pure ignorance—and which is
the most excusable?
We hear gold standard men always
talking ab *ut sound money aud call us
who know that silver is sound and
good, and want it restored to its origi
nal aud proper place, populistic. Rut
when we tell them that theirs is purely
republican they say it’s all right; if we
get anything good from the republicans
let ’a lake it, its all right if a man—a
Georgian—make a two hour republican
speech for a republican, just so it is uot
known at home, and we call it demo
cratic replying to a true and tried dem
ocrat teaching democracy—all this in
the name of democracy; but then we
must have harmony. Why don’t you
people—democrats—if you believe in
nothing but gold, and will bow to that
calf only, call yourselves gold men, or
anything else beside sound money. I
am quite sure that the framers of our
glorious old constitution not one of
them evei thought of anybody, espec
ially an American of anv party ever
thinking of demonetizing either gold or
silver, when they declared that nothing
but those two metals should be money
of legal tender, or of final payment.
If they had they would have added a
clause forever prohibiting interference
with either; and whoever heard of any
democrat until within this administra
tion being opposed to silver? How was
Colquitt, Hill,'Lamar, Stephens aud
even those who are still living. How
the silver tongue of our Secretary of the
Treasury did ring out for the purity
and excellence of our own white metal.
No democrat, much less thepaity, nor
any paity, not even the republican as
such, and many of them are ashamed
of it and want it restored, ever thought
of repudiating silvei; hut something
came over the spirit of the dreams of
Mr. John Sherman aud a few others.
We suppose gold visi inland I am glad
it was not the better cltss of republi
can Statesmen who did it) and they got
enacted for (he United States the Brit
ish gold standard, andnow it ought to
be the mission of theMeraocratic party
to restore silver to mbneyhood, and if
she will just take her stand where
she always stood-Vstand up to our
leaders of true democracy, including
both silver and gold money, insist on
economy and reform she will have a
1 bright future. Our irthright has been
taken away without ur knowledge or
consent, and we didn; even receive a
mess of potage — ad we simply
want it restored. If we fail the
1 greater portion of o r national glory
! has departed. Join M. Tiu rman.

This being the year lor national pol

to keep the colored people in the Re
publican ranks by flaming denuncia

white people treat the negro. Will
our colored people bo again caught by
these false pretentions of friendship?
We hope that many of them will not
be. The best friend the colored man
has to day is the southern man. To
prove this we refer to Fitzgerald, Ga.>

ily for such an amount. Any one can
get this insurance for 25 cents, that be

may be set down as axiomatic. When
methods of this kind are employed be

party honors within the party they are

Murder on the Increase.
It appears that we all ought to do
what we can to get more people hang
ed. In States where capital punish
ment is administered by electricity,
that method of taking life will answer
but the law that prescribes it must be
allowed to stand idle, and we ought to
use our influence to keep them in fre
quent use, Of course our duty in this
particular is painful, but it is impera
tive. The question is whether we shall
kill murderers or they shall kill us. Ity
all means let us kill them. They need
killing far more than we do, so long as
we are peaceable and decently behaved.
A supplemen tary question is, whether
murderers shall be killed by due pro
cess of law or by mobs. Let us have
them lawfully executed, for that gives
by far the best results. More than
10,000 people were murdered in the
I itited States last year. In the year
I.HNN loss than 4,000 were murderod.
Ihe increase of population in seven
years has been considerable. Last
year business was bad, and people were
cross, and more murderously inclined,
no doubt, than common. Still, taking
everything iuto consideration, the in
crease of murders was astounding. It
ought to be checked, and the only
practicable wav to deck it is to have
murderers suffer the legal penalty of
their crime. It is shocking to kill any
one, but if one must choose between
killing the guilty after conviction and
having the innocent killed offhand,
there cannot be any hesitation about
whwt duty and common sense demand.
Murder must be made more unpopular
in tlie United States —Ex.
