The mocking bird has begun to
chirp a little song and we can re
joice that Sirius no longer rages.
Mr. Butler, of North Carolina-
Dear Sir: I’m waiting on you.
Yours forever. Tommie.
John Shermao, th8 Li Hung
ChaDg of Republicanism, has never
yet told where he got it and never
will in all probability.
We have Li and Lo both on our
hands at present. Li won’t lay low,
but Lo wiil lie every time, if we be
lieve the Indian agents.
Democratic head quarters claim
the siate by 40,000 majority. This
raises Serb Wright 15,000. Will he
raise that to keep up the bluff?
Brothei Sam Jones does not agre°
that 1G to 1 is the remedy. Bre’r.
Sam has not been able to get a
party just up to his standard yet.
It is said Col. H. W. J. Ham has
resigned his position as principal
keeper of the Snollygoster. The
question is what wiil become of
Snollygoster now?
If Mrs. Pelig lives in an old shoe
With so many kids it puts her in a stew.
She’d better take Samp by the back of
his head
Give him a spanking and put him to bed,
Hanna will pour most of his
“gravy,” they say, over the North
western states. He continues to
fry the fat out of the big incomes of
those who wouldn’t pay the tax on
them.
Watson doesn’t come down like
one of Mrs. Lease’s perfect gentle
men would, but the campaign but
ton maker gets even by leaving
Tommie off of them. Has anybody
seen a Bryan-Watson button, Eh?
The concensus of press opinion in
Europe is that McKinley will be
elected. The wish no doubt is
father to the thought, and they find
it easier to believe that that will
happen that they want to happen
than the contrary.
Col. A. S. Clay’s answer to Jno.
D. Cunningham, Chairman of the
People’s Parly campaign, was very
proper and very decided. Of course
Mr. Jno. D. Cunningham will not
be satisfied, but we do not think
Col. Clay will be disturbed by that
fact.
The supreme court may lay at its
door half the troubles that now
afflict the United States in their
class decision against the income
tax law. They will never entirely
recover from this narrow and un
just judgment,the ill effect of which
will blot their fame as long as they
are remembered.
There is one thing can be said of
Sewali, the vice presidential nomi
nee, among many other good things
that are said of him, he is honest
in his Democratic ideas and stands
bravely by them even in Maine.
It is easy enough to be a Republican
up in that radical ridden state, but
it takes a brave honest man to
be an out spoken, consistent Dem
ocrat.
From every point in the state we
hear that the brother iu black will
support Gov. Atkinson. It is just
what the negro should do. Let him
stand by those that stand by ' him.
Gov. Atkinson has held the scales
evenly balanced for him during his
two years of administration.
If you are a citizen and have
paid your taxes, you can register.
If you have not complied with the
law, you perjure yourself in regis
tering and your votes will not count.
Think of it and be sure you are.
doing your duty to the state when
you go to the ballot box. Let’s
""have no trifling.
Georgia has turned out many a
genius of one kind or another, a lot
of queer electrical woman, electri
cal mud that cures eveiything ex
cept Mrs. Lease’s distaste for
Tom. Watson; also numberless
curious freaks, but great scott
and hobgoblins! when she sends
boy orators with a Republican
craze after Hanna’s “fat,” that beats
all preyious records and walks off
with the cake.
We cannot think the gold Demo
cratic Indianapolis platform will
even form a nucleus, as it is ex
pected to do, around which the
Democratic party can rally in fu
ture. Mr. Flower’s speech was
more ultra than Democrats will
tolerate and the effect of the con
vention’s acts give too much help
as well as encouragement to McKin-
leyism. All Democrats who join in
making a party, the intention of
which is to weaken the action of
the Chicago Democratic Conven
tion, are only Democrats in name
and will find it hard work to affili
ate with the party hereafter.
Every effort was made to com
mute Hayne, the Atlanta murder
er’s death sentence to life imprison
ment. If that could have been done
of course he would be pardoned out
and turned loose on the world
again. That kind of legal jobbery
does not go on in theEnglish courts,
hut then we have the pleasant little
pastime of lynching every now and
then, which we recognize as frills
and trimmings to our ciyilization,
and may be the compensating bal
ance for the Jack of legal execution.
Gov. Atkinson, from the testimony
in this cold-blooded killing, did
right not to interfere with the death
sentence imposed by the court.
Benj. Harrison, the ex president
is no doubt honest, but he is a man
of narrow-partisan viewe- His late
speech was devoted to the financial
question principally, without stop
ping to defend the Republican de
mand for high tariff. He is as ultra
iu his financial views and, intoler
ant of differences of opinion upon
them as he was formerly on tariff
for high Drotectlon. Notwithstand
ing he was defeated and his intoler
ant opinions on high tariff were
brushed aside he proceeds with his
usual intolerance as though he were
a vice-gerant of infailibity. He,
like many others of his day and
hour, will never occupy any niche
In the temple of fame allotted to
great statesman.
An Amsterdam paper from across
the ocean having heard something
about our contest over extreme pro
tection, put this down as one of the
objects of our high protective tariff:
“The West must he protected
against the East.”
The same “goes for” the wooden
headed nouveau riches, who flock
to Europe just now, “when we
read how Paris, Switzerland,
Italy, etc., are alive with American
millionaires we wonder that their
blindness and dull wit leads them
In these days to see pleasure only.
Can’t they see that the safety of the
republic demands their presence
among their own people.”
Europe is ha’f of the belief that
this government is about lo dissolve
into internescine strife and rum.
OUR CUBAN NEUTRALITY.
Discussing the Cuban question, a
French paper, which is peculiarly
inimical to the United States, gives
“Therule3 of Washington” in regard
to international neutrality:
1st. Neutral states must prevent
the sailing of ships intended for at
tacks upon a friendly power. The
building, arming, etc., of such ships
must also be prevented.
2d. Every act inimical to a
friendly power must be prohibited.
3d. The government of a neutral
state is bound to enforce these rules:
Under treaty obligations it is
easy to understand that the presi
dent, as such, is right in preventing
any acts of filibustering or invasion
of Cuba by citizens of the United
States, no matter what our sympa
thies may be for the insurrectionists.
Baby’s
Second
Summer
is ths time that tries all the cafe
of the mother and all the skill of
maternal management. Baby
comfort comes from fat; fat
babies have nothing to do but
to sleep and grow.
If your baby does not seem
to prosper, if he. does not gain
in weight, you must get more
fat there. A few drops of
ScSI&iuif&ion
each day v/ili put on plump
ness; fat outside, life inside,
baby and mother both happy.
Your baby can take and rel
ish Scott’s Emulsion as much
in summer as in any other
season.
For Mui by ml druggists at 50c, and (un
ggAs a friendly power Spain
is bound to protect the lives
and property of Americans in Cuba
as long as we observe these rules or
treaty obligations. The jiDgoes in
congress did not make the presi
dent forget his duty and we can see
the good from it now.
Are you
THE SIZE OF IT.
The set back that Ben. Tillmanism
has received In South Carolina and
the assurance that blackguardism
triumphs no longer among the high-
toned and patriotic people of that
state Is a matter for congratulation
to every sovereign weilder of the
franchise iu the United States. It
did seem once that the people could
be led off by low, vulgar dema-
gogery such as Tillman dispensed
and his upstart henchman on the
Evans order, but we rejoice to know
it is a mistake and vigorous life is
in the old state yet. South Carolina
turned down her best and most
honorable statesman following Ben
Tillman, {but her day of restitution
is coming around, and the United
States senate will hardly receive
the disgrace of having toseatjthe g -
gantic fraud Evans.
It wili not be long before the Pop
ulist of Georgia will see how they
have been misled by a demagogue
of like caliber with Ben Tillman,
who has the insufferable vanity of
thinking he can be vice-president
or defeat the Democratic party.
For the sake of these selfish office
hunters it cannot be too often told
the people cannot be trifled with
too long.
THE POPS AND LIQUOR.
“Oae hundred and six counties in
the state,” says the Darien Gazette,
“have local option law.” And yet
the Populists are trying to adopt a
law that never has prohibited the
sale of liquor. The local option law
of Georgia is the best solution of
the liquor question ever yet enact
ed. Every community ean now
settle the regulations for the sale of
liquor to suit itself. Burke county
did it years ago and blind tigers
are as near obliterated as we ever
heard ot in any community.
The law is rarely violated and vio
lators are always prosecuted
promptly when detected.
We can’t blame Populist much for
taking up some sort of cry for popu
larity and incorparating any kind of
war on liquor in their state platform.
In every state they bavegathered
in the fag end of anything that came
along, feeling assured that the
Democrats have left no excuse for
its existing as a party a day longer.
We feel sorry tor them in their
wild hunt after office for the sake
of plunder.
