Georgia In Congress.
Every Georgian should feel proud of
the record which was made in the House
of Representatives last Monday by
Speaker Crisp and Mr. Turner.
It was a historic day in the House.

^Populism is on the wane in Geor

come back into the Democratic fold.
There is no other refuge for them.
The Chinese-Japan war is not fur

it should. A little more hard fight

The Democratic platform is still
as firm and as solid as the rock of
Gibraltar. It is a place of refuge,
and affords standing room for every
citizen.
The Georgia-Agricultural Conven
tion, which has been in session at Car

China's rifle factory has been

Mr. Turner took occasion to flat

Mr. Wilson said in his speech day
before yesterday, that this was not a
time for Democratic enthusiasm. A
good many Democrats will doabtless
agree with him. Neither is it a time
to desert ths democratic ship. We
should go to work more determined
tban ever to free the party of rene
gades and traitors.
In reviewing the late tariff fight
Mr. Wilson said: “I cannot see
where we failed to do anything we
could do to bring about a better re
sult. When I have done the best,
according to my capacity and judg
ment, I must fall back on the con-
ciousness of duty done. The diffi
culty which the country mast recog
nize, is that on the.tanff quesUon we
did not have a Democratic Senate,
and whatever has been obtained has
been wrested from a protection
body.”
laid down in the platform of their party,
the Democratic conferees on the part of
the House felt that they were compelled
to accept the Senate bill or, as Speaker
Crisp expressed it, “remit the people to
the penalties of the McKinley tariff.”
They adopted the course of patriotism
aud common sense.
The last moments of the debate
brought forth the leaders of the House.
The best men there were put forward to
attack and defend. The xiost conspicu
ous assailants of the bill were Reed and
Burrows, the two giants of the Republi
can side. Side by side with them stood,
that brilliant orator, Bourke Cockran,
representing the protesting element
among the Democrats. Against this trio
of strong debaters and skilled parlia
mentarians the supporters of the caucus
resolution pitted Speaker Crisp, Chair
man Wilson and Henry G. Turner.
It was a battle royal. The time
limited and each speaker endeavored to
make the most of it. Not a word must
be wasted; every second was precious.
It was an occasion which demanded quick
thought, apt expression, clear cut. argu
ment. Ever}' one of the_ disputants ac
quitted himself handsomely. Each side
knew that it was face to face with pow
erful opposition and that the whole
country was listening to the debate.
Considered in every way the victory
of Crisp, Wilson and Turner was com
plete.
There is hardly any man in public life
who is happier in expression than the
noble Democrat from West Virginia, who
has led the battle for tariff reform and
on this occasion lie was at his best. But
even he was not one whit ahead of the
two Georgians who with him bore the
brunt of the brief but sharp contest.
Speaker Crisp’s speech in closing the
debate was a model of succinct and logi
cal statement.
Mr. Turner completely floored the Re
publican Ajax on his chosen field of par
liamentary contention. The way in
which Crisp disused of Cockran and
Turner of Reed was beautiful to see. It
was truly artistic.
Their Georgia colleagues and the
group of Georgians who looked down
from the galleries on their triumph
could but feel that their state was hon
ored by the representation of Crisp and
Turner.
No other state could have put forth on
the floor of the House the peers of this
noble pair.
It was Georgia day in tlie House and
Georgia wrote the brightest lines in that
historic discussion.—Journal.

i THE HERALD.
Female General,
Just as the authorities in ar.d around
Washington are getting rid of the Coxev
army, another gang of hoodlums, dead
beats and butuiners arc licaring down on
the capital.
\ dispatch , from Washington says :
“Three hundred and fifty men, under
command of Mrs. General Cantwell, are
coming to Washington from Chain
Bridge, Va., via the Chesapeak and
Ohio canal, and are expected to reach
the city to-morrow.”
Mrs. General Cantwel should be at
home darning her husband's socks (if
such an unfortunate man exists) or rock
ing the cradle, if a cradle is in use in
that interesting family. These roaming
bands of brainless agitators should be
corralled and put on rock piles whenev
er they appear.
The Oglethorpe Echo hears it reported
that “only four ministers in the North
Georgia conference will support Atkin
son for governor, but vote for Hines in
stead.”’ Methodist ministers, of course,
are the kind referred to. But the re
port is not worthy of belief; indeed, it is
hardly worthy of attention. There are
no more patriotic people, in the country
than the preachers, as they have proved
both in war and in peace, and it would
be libelJupon them to say they would
vote against the state’s best interests
because a preacher was not nominated
for governor by the Democratic par
ty.—Ex.
Ttoere are some who do not believe
the President will sign the tariff bill.
We’ll bet he does as he thinks best
