THE MACON TELEGRAPH AND DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
The Mi;con Telegraph has been saying that the Atlanta Journal
is no longer a democratic newspaper. In view of the fact, that there is
no absolute standard lor the party classification of newspapers, we
took the occasion to state that we thought The Telegraph was unjust
to The Journal. The Telegraph now says that if The Enterprise
will undertake to tell what right The Journal has to claim to be a
democratic newspaper, it will examine that claim.
We do not pretend to champion the cause of The Journal in the
matter, as we feel that it is amply able to take care of itself; but, as
The Telegraph has made the suggestion to us concerning The Jour¬
nal’s right to be classed as a democratic paper, we will take the liberty
of saying that it appears to us to have as much right to assert that
.claim as The Telegraph, The Atlanta Georgian, The Constitution,
The Macon Evening News, The Atlanta News, and numbers of others
which we could mention.
What is a democratic newspaper? Is it one which advocates dem¬
ocratic doctrine? If so, the matter could be settled at once by de¬
termining what are democratic principles or doctrines. Is it oim
which supports candidates who claim the right themselves to say
whether they are democrats? It so, the question could easily be dis
p <sed of; but neither of these standards will suffice; for, in the first
instance, so-called democrats are hopelessly divided as to the defini
tion of democratic principles. This difficulty confronts us when vve
recall to mind the time when The Atlanta Constitution supported
liryq.ii and freestlver, and The Journal and Telegraph lined up for the
gold standard. Each claimed to be advocating democratic principles.
The republican press was likewise divided on the same issues, and
democrats, republicans and populists all with fog horn utterances
proclaimed themselves the followers of Thomas Jefferson ! There was
and still is a mix-up all along the line. If the newspapers themsel ves
were allowed to make a classification, and we were to rely on The At¬
lanta News, we would have to admit that there is only one democratic
paper m the city of Atlanta, to-wit, The Newns. What The Constitu
tion, The Georgian, and The Journal would do for a political category
vve are not informed; and we would equally be at a loss to know
tlie Macon papers would do for a party name.
( i It is a new doctrine under the sun,” The Telegraph, l i
says
proclaim that a political party has not the right to determine the
qualification for its own membership. ) J
Now what is a political party? It is not a thing which feels, acts
or determines, but is an organization composed of individuals, who
are more or less at variance with each other as to political principles
or policies of the organization. What Caesars among the members,
then, are so superior that they assume the nomination of what is dem¬
ocratic and what is not? Are they the party leaders? If so, we would
like to know the names of these important personages.
Are the newspapers to he the arbiters? If so, then pray tell us
which they are. If the Atlanta News be named for this important
office, The Telegraph itself might be left out in the cold to wander
about without a political “habitation and a name.”
The question might be asked whether there is any test by which
we could determine a paper as democratic, republican, or populist.
As an answer it might be said that any paper which supports a party
organization, whether agreeing with others in all political views or
not, which support the same organization, should he considered a
member of that party. The Journal, The Constitution, the Telegraph
The Georgian, The Atlanta News, The Macon News, The Savannah
Morning News, The Savannah Press, Augusta Chronicle, The Augusta
Herald, 1 he Columbus Enquirer-Sun, all support the democratic party
as ,t is oiganized in Georgia to-day, and, while differing on various
issues as to party principles and party methods, ought to be placed
one and all in the Democratic column. If we are wrong in this con
ciusi m, then J he Journal might be said to be democratic, and The
Telegraph something else, according to the point of view of the one
making the decision. This seems to us to be logical, and we are
willing for 1 he holograph to correct us if we are in error.
We have great respect for Mr. Pendleton’s ability as a writer, but
his habit for seeing distinctions where none exist sometimes leads
himself imo untenable positions and also sometimes into absurd
conclusions.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
■ mre is a central idea of
and life in every age and in
c-untry, and each age,
Ivor unconsciously, attempts
express that idea. A theory
life, therefore, can be formed
Uie past ages from their works
art, or literature. What is
central idea of American life of
dav 9 In other words, what
“American ideals?”
* *
The central idea is that we are
tie greatest nation on earth; that
we are extremely rich in the aggre
[gate the population and are getting richer; that
• is rapidly 7 increas
j ing, and that standing room is
gradually being mcroaclu d upon;
that, being so rich and great, we
can build more big battleship
‘ ’
j shoot harder and straighter than
j other countries, and stand up and
l S av to all the world, “We are the
biggest yet.”
In this sell important eminence,
what are, for instance, our
j j ideals of art, literature, and edu-1 *
cation? At the World's Fair, we
TEE ENTERPRISE, COVINGTON, GA.
had the finest gun exhibit to be
seen. To see best 3chool system
exhibits, one had to go to those of
Japan and Germany. As to art,
the best art critits declare that al¬
most all the exhibits at St. Louis
showed a tendency to copying and
imitation unexampled before. Of
literature we think little, except
that it is a thing of amusement, a
production of minds innocently
engaged, because of some unfitness
for strenous life. We are an up
roarous grown-up, whooping up
ourselves, and declaring that not
satisfied with being immensely
rich and great, we are yet in our
infancy, and it does not appear
what we shall be. We may be the
greatest and wisest of'all nations,
but time alone can determine the
fact.
***
What is a t I junk house?” A
“junk house’’ is a room in the
Armour packing house business at
Chicago where spoiled (we could
use a stronger word) meats are
kept for an indefinite time before
it is chemicalized and shipped out
to the world. Where is it princi¬
pally shipped? To Atlanta, Charles¬
ton, and Jacksonville. The de¬
scriptions of the packing house
methods resulting from the beef
trust are too horrible to repeat,and
we must be content to say that the
packing house operations ate the
most shocking and appalling that
could be conceived outside of hell
itself.
Si *
The Washington,(Ga ) Reporter
says that ( ( The Atlanta News
claims to be the only democratic
paper in Atlanta. This would be
r0U gh on The Georgian, and The
Journal, but for the fact that every
man in Georgia reserves the right
to define his democrary. ) )
The Macon Telegragh denies
that every one in Georgia has the
right to define its own democracy,
and takes upon itself to say who is
a democrat and who is not. The
Atlanta Journal, for instance, re¬
serves the right to say that it is
a democrat, yet The Telegraph
classes it as a p lpulist paper.
( Who’s who in this matter?
* *
*
The c ; valized world pleads tor
protection against the bomb throw¬
er. The attempted assassination
of the king and queen of Spain has
brought up the problem once more
as to how the rulers of governments
shall be protected from the terro
ism of anarchists; but tlrnre seems
to be no plausible solution of how
to cope with the methods of an or¬
ganization whose members lurk in
every quarter of the earth.
* *
*
Their deadly work is done in
the guise of benefactors of human¬
ity; but, instead changing the ex¬
isting order upheld by govern¬
ments, they do just the the thing
to perpetuate it. Kings and rulers
in general are the victims of sys¬
tem, and their removal by assassi
tion, ever stays whatever reforma¬
tion that might be accomplished
by peaceful means.
The Atlanta News says that the
world is not so wise as it was in
the long ago. i i The world has
not,” says The News, “and it I
seems, will never again attain to I
I that status of wisdom, where it sat
I etbroned in the thoughtful ceutur
ies which preceded the effulgent
coming of the Saviour.” !
1
W e think r l he News should not
be so positive about this. The
Saviour came, and by his coming, j
we believe the world has been |
made better and wiser. There!
have been '
some very wise and
great men since the dawn of the
i Christian era, and for very wise j :

! j ancient nation,
