DAWSON, GA., Aug. 23rd, 1893,

IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED.
The democratic platform demands that
silver be coined on a parity with gold,
but, says the Macon News, that is no
reason for delaying the repeal of the
mischief-making Sherman act. Bimetal
ism is what the country wants and the
party has declared in favor of it, but the
immediate repeal of the Sherman actis
the first and paramonnt d aty of congress.
Mr. Cleveland emphasized the necessity
for it by calling congress together for
that specific purpose.
The democratic party is pledged to
maintain the parity of the metals. Itis
likewise pledged to reform the tariff to
a basis of producing a revenue sufficient
(nty to support the government honest
ly and economically administered. It is
committed as much to one of the reforms
as another. But there is no reason why
the most important legislation should
not be enacted first, and in these times
of financial panic and universal distress
the most urgent matter that engages the
attention of congress 1s the repeal of the
Sherman act. The fact that men of all
the parties recognize thLe necessity
for this makes it all the more palpadle.
When this much is accomplished and
the pressure 1s removed, congress cin
address itself to the other reforms to
which the party is committed.
SomEe of our esteemed free silver con
temporaries are asserting with much
glee that the letters from a number of
the Georgia weekly editors re
cently published in The Constitution,
were declarations in favor of the free
and unlimited coinage of silver. As one
of the contributors to that page in The
Constitution Tue NeEws begs to differ
with these contemporaiies. There were
very few in the lot asking for the free
and unlimited coinage of the 53-cent
dollar. They were on the democratic
platiorm, for sound currency-—a dollar
worth a dollar any and everywhere.
Turs is a mighty good time to judge
mmen. The man who stands around with
his bands in his pockets, or whittles a
piece of soft white pine, drawing gloomy
pictares of the fature, is no good. He
should stay in his back yard—if he has
one. Itisthe buoyanf, self-rellant man
who faces the music and is ready to help
a brother over a rough place who sees
vhe silver lining to the clouds. Heis a
whole team. That man makes the worid
brighter and happier. :
WuAT is needed now is sober thought
and hard, common sense. The slush and
rot that is being printed by some of our
eontemporaries, harshly eriticising the
administration and Loiding out the idea
that legislation can fill pockets with
money, is doing more than anything else
to cause unrest among a certain
elass of people and instill anarchy and
socialism into their heads. It 1s time for
a halt, or the consequences may be se
rious.
GoverNox JoNks, of Alabama, has re
ce’ved setters from different parts of the
state urging himn to call an extra session
of the legislature for the passage of a
stay law as a relief froia the present sit
aation. The governor has written a
public letter declining positively to call
an extra session of the legislature for th's
purpose, His grounds briefly are that
a stay law is unconstitutional, and if con
stituzional, would be rui.ous policy now.
Wurskers PErrer has a tinancial rem
edy. The New York Sun says of it: **“The
Hon. Wikiam Alirea Peffer, the Esau
chinned glory of [opeka, hopped up in
the senate yesterday with a bill for alum
inur money. Why aluminum? Why pot
hair? Hair seems to be the greav popu
fist commodity. Peffer should csin his
west-shading beard into drachmas. Wwe
beseech him to give another shake to his
m’gh:v shink-thunk.”
TrE difference between the democrats
in congress who want to first vote for the
repeal of the Sherman silver purchase
law--the “unconditional”’ repeal, if you
please—and those who are contending
first'f n a free coinags substitute to be
agreed upon, makes about the same dis
tinction that is to be drawn between
\weedledee and tweedledum.—Albany
derald.
A NeEw Yokk paper produces a car-
Wwon ‘‘miiling the democratic platfcrm
10 the capltol’s dome.”” If the dome of
each democratic congressm wnJand sena
t r will take in the sense antd substance
of that document all will be well.
ALL the reports that come from Wash
ington of Congressman Ben Russell are
very favorable. He is an honest, hard
working member and is trying to do his
full duty by his constituency. And he
is not only a hard worker, buthe is able
and thorough.
Tue Albany bankers and warehouse
men want to issue clearing house cer
tificates and have wired Represeutative
Russell to see the comptroller of currency
and endeavor to have the certificates re
lieved of the ten per cent tax.
Tur story comes from Texas that a
Lone Star widow sued an editor for $lO,-
000 and gained fhe suit, then the editor
married her in order to keep the cash in
the family. It is not stated, however,
where he got the $lO,OOO.
Tae Hox. SEAB Wricar, of Romne,
aanounces that he disapproves the presi
dent’s messsage. That reminds us that
it has been several years since Seabie
approved anything in the demucratic
party.
TuERE is but one negro mamber of
congress. He is described as being as
black as a black cat in a black sack in a
dark cellar on a dark mght. He hails
from a South Carolina distriot.
MINISTER BLOUNT is on American soil,
and the rumor grows more frequent thax
when the time comes he will make a
strong effort to assume the duties of the
gubernatorial office.
Tue sanctity of the home must be pro
tected, and there is no room on the su
preme bench of Georgia for men who
side with the libertine instead of the in
jured husband.
A MicuicAN coffin factory has dis
charged over four hundred employes.
An instance, says the Savannah News,
where the times were too hard to die.
DAawsox maintazins a stifi backbone,
and is moving her part of the cotton crop.
And she is doing it with hard cash, not
with certificates.
Ir there are no other entries in the
gubernatorial race Tue News will favor
that christian soldier and patriot, Gen
eral C. A. Evans.
ConGrEss should untangle the finan
cial kinks and then knock the iniquitous
McKinley tariff law into a cocked hat.
DEMoCRATs should cease fighting the
administration and turn their gun on
the common enemy.
Tue Constitution has given up the
fight and says the Sherman act will be
unconditionaily repealed.
CoNGRrEss is blowing off a lot of gas at
the expense of the financial interests of
the country.
CONGRETSMAN Mocsks, thinks the Al
bany Herald, evidently thinks he thinks
he thinks.
Tue prospect for a lively yellbw fever
epidem.ac is very good.
JUDGE GRIGGs and Solicitor Sheflield
are a strong tean.
A Sorry Spectacle.
From the Valdosta Times.
Itis a s rry spectacle o see politicians
in the south denouncing protection to
porthern industries and at the same
time weepinz for the silver barons from
the west. Southern planters are taxed
for the benefit of the one now, and it is
proposed to tax them further for the
benefii of the other.

Revision Necessary.
Fr m the Americus Recorder,
On their first pages the big papers
print every day dispatches with numer
ous ‘‘scare heads,”” announcing dozens
of failures. On their inside pages they
print editerials headed, *‘The Situa‘ion
Improving, *‘Brigbter Outluok.” Sone
sort of revision is necessary.
eet A R e
Why, Certainly.
From the Albany Herald.
From the way they act most silverites
in Congress seem to have a mine of their
own.

Last Mon‘ay Governor Northen ap

circuit. The cause of the vacancies and
the names of the other applicants to fill
them have already been mentioned in
our columns. _
The people, as a whole, in this section
received the news of the appointments
with perfect satisfaction. To some it
brings more—great delight, and to others
les:—unfeigned personal disappointment,
These things wiil be so, and for it there
is no remedy so iong as discontent re
mains an element of human nature,
Both the gentlemen appointed are pop
ular, able lawyers, and though yet not
having reachedfthe zenith or life, are
recognized as leading lights on the legal
as well as the political forum,
On their shonlders the mantle of the

not an easy task. That they will wortl -

imposed upon thewr, no one doubts.
