HON. THOMAS WATSON .
Hon. Thonms Watson was much
more temperate In his speech on yes
terday than he wus during the cum-
Iitlgn of '1)2, At times during that
rumimlgn tiro negroes who heard him
were nbout ready to apply the torch
In tliair emiduyctV lurn. But Col.
Wutson Ins changnl, though he still
mokes an Ingenious hid for the negro
vole. Why he nnd Judge Hines desire
lo bring the negrut* actively back into
isdllbw, wo do not know.
Col. Watson stroke of Win 4th of July
ns sacred lo Jefferson because of tire
“DcvtnraiHon of Independence.” I.lke
Judge Hines, he claimed tlmt the new
Istrly had embmoed Iho principles of
government ns expounded by Jeffer
son, ntul lie claimed that the dmuha
plntform, the creeil of the new parly,
wtis a "second declaration of Indc-
pendenoe." He claims that lids “sec
ond dcclanudun” was n nwlomtlnn of
the original principles of Jeffirsou.
But In ll»1» ckilm Col. Watson nml
Judge Hines nre unsupported by nny
other I'oimllst orators of Iho tuition.
Senator Peffer dot* not so dalm, nnd
Ignatius Donnelly and Edward Bel
lamy, who helped frame the Onmha
plntform, csparinlly value the plat
form, and style It tho “second ilocluni-
tlon," because It rejeels the Jefferson
ian theory of our government. With
them It 1* grand because It re]mdlali<*
old Jelforson ami tils states rights nml
Individualism.. If flio framers of it

fersonian principles and Pout hern
Ideas, why do M(,*«rs. I lines nml Wat
son rlnliii for It In (ioorgla what Is re
jected In Ivnnsas nml the West?
Why nttempt to divide our people?
If they will, let them dwell together
hi unity. Ignatius Donnelly nml Kd-
wuril Bella my nre not sttUramra like
Jeffersou. They despise tho Southern
View* of Ihls government. Jefferson

live nowhere but lu the hearts of true
Dcamierals. There Is ;«eril In this now
nrorumeat. It Is a gru.it slriile hack-
vvatxl frern JcffVvHortktu Detnoeracy.
It la the too ot personal freedom. It
would extend paternalism ull over the
land. Dtrlde not our people. Our
unity Is our hope. Let us remain to-

law, for order, solid for home rule, for
gootl lodety, for virtue, hanesly, m-
togrlty. solid for the safely of our
h,unes nnd esiuvially for the protec

tho crowning glory of our Southern
ClYtUatttOD.
JUDGF. J. K HINES.
In Ms speech at the park yestertlny,
Judge Hint* made rite remarkable
statement that “Georgia polities are
as corrupt ns the politics of Tammany
llnll." I t
Hon. W. J. Bryan, the. eloquent beta-
ocmtk* -orator of Nebraska, has a dlf-
fen at opinion of us Gtrorglan*. Gen.
l-lwihs \Wiisi In Washington asked Mr.
Bryan "why he voted against tbs re
peal of the tax on state bunks?” Mr.
Bryan replied that “If he litvd la the
state of GcorgM, where the people are
so conservative, ho would have voted
for the MIL"
Judge lllne* repeated tho charge
that Col Atkinson Ind the Judiciary
all committed to work for AtklnsonYi
nomination.
The folly of this charge to apparent
when U is known that two-third* ot
the judges of .Georgia favored the nom
ination of Gen. Evan*.
Judge llines declared that “the Dem
ocratic party had drifted away from
1U old principle*, aud that the Populist
potty was now the rrak Simon pure
Democracy, holding to Jefferson's prin
ciples, and having In custody the ark
of the ruvetum.” *
This is such s delusion tp the light
of Edward Bellamy's construction of
the Omaha platform. Bellamy wel
comed the platform basins it repu
diated Jefferson's view*, and wrote
assays to the peopfo praying lu ac
ceptance because U was such a de
parture from Jefferson. The framers
of ’the Omaha platform were not state
rights men. Bellamy and Ignailus
Dorifl!y contemn the doctrine., j
Judge Illncs nexteptod 'fbe Omaha
platform In full and favored all Its de-
mantis of paternalism, centralism, na
tionalism and government ownership
and control. Judge Hine* is fully con
verted. When he drank, he drank
deep of tbs Omaha, spring. Judge
Hines made Bght of the repeal of the
odious federal election laws, nnd de
clared they hurt nobody. Why he
wanted them to remain he never ex
plained. They were certainly non-
Jeffersonian.
The Ittpuhlitane take the same view
of thosc»elccdon last* as dow Judge
Hines nnd Inveighed ngutnst their re
peal. But the Itepublkuns lay no
claims to being Hlmon pure Jefferson-
Inns. Judge Hines never criticised the
Itcpubllcufu at all throughout his
speech.
STATE FACTS, JUDGE HINES.
Judge Hines Mated In bis speech at
the park yesterday that the national
banks tried to prevent congress from
relieving the Mate Ininks of the 10 per
cent, tax on certificates issued during
the panic of last year. As a matter
of fact, os mu ay national bunks issued
cirrlfleutcs as shutc Uinks. And the
national hanks certainly would not op
pose a measure of relief Intended for
themselves.
Judge Hines intended of course to
prejudice the people who heard his
speech ogainst national banks. If his
information on other mailers Is as In
correct n;t It is on this question the
people will discover that lie cannot be
relied an even to state facts as they
exist. What national bunks in Geor
gia or elsewhere opposed tho passage
of the bill, relieving all banks of the
10 per cent tax on their Issue of cer
tificates?
IS DEBS AN ANARCHIST 1
The ChloapY papers ore very severe
on the strikers. Obey paint a pluturo
ot sufflvlng and distress that now
threatens to become a horrible reality.
They lipid the strikers responsible for
tills Imminent distress. Hundreds of
thousands of Innocent people who are
In no way connected with the real or
funded wrongs of the strikers are the
victims of this monumental madness.
Tho Chicago Hcitild says: ,
"Anarchy In Europe resorts to the bomb,
the bullet and the knife, and It* apostles
possess at least a personal bravery In
running their own heads Into the peril
they seek to Inflict upon their fellow-
men. Anarchy In a portion of the United
States today resprts to a different method.
Both by resistance 'end aggression, by
activity and passivity* it has disorgan
ised stale and federal government. It
has suspended lawful commerce. ' it has
paralysed to a large degree all Industrial
Interests. It has endangered the llvee of
thousands of Innocent human beipga. It
has subjected hundreds of thousands to
discomfort and loss. Its leaders skulk
behind proclamations and run no risk, so
far aa they believe, of Injury to them
selves.
"The American people will not meet
Anarchy with lawlessness. But It they
are nut composed too largely of Idiots
they will And a way to avoid this form
ot Anarchy In the future by the devise-
ment of laws that will compel Anarchic
lenders like Debs lo put their own heads
Into peril as the Anarchists of Euroep
voluntarily do.
“We are accustomed to looking upon
France ns peculiarly cursed with disinte
grating political forces. We are today
ourselves dupes and victims of disinte
grating forces to a degree deeper than
France has ever known elnce her great
revolution.
"France takes her Anarchist! In times
of pesce by the throat and throws them
out ot a world they desired to destroy.
We tolerate Anarchists like Debs and let
him go on disintegrating tho Institutions
of this country without realising that
wa are paving the way to what may be
be violent, convulsions.
“That country Is In a deplorable condi
tion, constitutionally and Intellectually,
that baa no protection for Itself egalntt
revolution such os Is being Inflicted upon
It todey by the usurpation and lawless
ness of one. man.”
Tlio Issue that tho strike bed raised
Is hourly growing inure serious. It
one man like Detm Is allowed to piny
autocrat and command 200.000 men to
leave their work at a moment's uotice,
nml they obey him; If he further com-
mantis them to prevent other men
from taking their place* and they obey
him, what shall hinder Debs from plac
ing 200,000 Wlndhcsieni in the hands
of these men whom ho ham learned
to command and who obey him a* If
they were his slaves? Then who
shall forbid Doha to give these men
an oreler to shoot-ot Pullman cars or
anything else that may be in s'ght?
If Mr. Debs Is not already on the way
to Anarchy, we do not know what
Anarchy 1*.
SENATOR HILL.
Senator III11 foncht the Wilson bill
to the last and refuse! to vote for it.
He la a protectionist and la against
tariff reform and fonght iia under pre
tense of opposing the slight Income
tax Itk.'orponxed In the hill. When tho
war closed the Income tax was abol
ished, and the tariff so laid us to bear
must heavily on the poor. For thirty
years the poor have borne an undue
proportion ot the atrlff raxes. Now
whoa In all good consrieoco and equity
the Democrats attempt to adjust the
rax awl equalise It and tax Incomes
over $3,000 per annum. Senator Hill
kicks clear out of traces arid vote*
with the Republican* and Senator Pef
fer to UU the whole bilk No man In
the Union bates tho South now as Sen
ator HilL He is mad because the
Booth voted for Ctevelaod. In his
other baler speech on the Wilson bill
he threatened to arouse the North on
sectional lines, saying the North would
blot out all party lines nnd come to
gether and take charge of the govern
ment, as In 1800, If the South persisted
In her jdemsnda for increase of curren
cy, for income tax, for low tariff and
repeal of tax on Mate bonks.
The way the resolutions read from
Hancock aod Washington counties it
Is apparent (he people are looking for
ward to sending strong men to the
senate—men fully equipped for every
phase of debate. Only thorough law
yers are suited to nil phase* of debate
in rhe senate. Nearly all questions In
that body nre more or less of a legal
nature, involving latva and requiring
a knowledge of la w. • Men not equipped
for all phases of debate, who cannot
resist attacks from every quarter, are
not the most useful senators.
Bound by nature, by association, by
Instinct, by self-interest, by a common
suffering and a sacred past, whether
from town or country, our people
should ooutluuc to be one In mind, one
In thought, one In purpose, and be who
would rend In twain those who have
so long dwelt together In unity la not
a real friend of Mb country.
The Democracy of 'IYoui> county
passed resolutions for the immediate
coinage of tf.lver, “right now," without
regard to parity. They refuse to vote
for any inon who endorses Cleveland's
administration or even apologizes
for It.

The people of this, the Sixth, con

he has bet?n an unfaithful servant, that

they satisfy themselves of these facts?
Are there nny evidence* cropping out
In his record In congress to substanti

THE OX AND HIS BLIND MATE.
From the Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette.
Mr. Barclay Ballard of Richmond,
lud.. tells an interesting story 'qt t wo
oxeu owned by Governor Morrow wneit
he lived on the Llttlo Miami river, ileus
Loveland. One of the beasts was blind,
und Its mate waicned It so cdreiully
while they were 'working together that
their owner began to notice wnat ap
peared to 'be an attempt on the part
of the ogto tafk to Its blind, mate.
When about to cross or go Into a ditch
or onto rough ground the pilot would
give a grunt that seemed to tell the
blind ox what they were about to come
In contact with. It was done by a
peculiar sound, that told the blind ox
whether to stop up or down. It was
well any person's time to watch them
and see how attentive the pilot wa* to
his mate. Directly acrots the river
there was good graxlng In the rich
valley and Ilf the woods. The ford wits
close to the mill, directly below tho
dam, but the ford wu» a difficult one,
full of deep hol.-s. They would go over
the river when turned out. The pilot
would keep on the lower side and follow
the riffle always. (He kept a little In
advance, about the length of bis neck.
When graxlng be kept between the
blind ox and 'the river. It possible. If
they chanced to get separated the pilot
would keep his eye on tho blind ox,
and it the blind ox w.13 about to get
too close to the steep Kink, on hearing
a peculiar grunt from the pilot he
wouM change his course. One certain
grunt would drive him to the rltht or
to the left. Mr. BaSlnrd rays he u*ed
to enjoy trying to drive the oxen into
the milt pond to see the core the pilot
took of the blind ox.. Other people
annoyed the oxen to gratify their curi
osity. This the pilot learned, end would
give a peculiar bawl to call the gov
ernor's attention, and If he heard it he
would call to the folka to let the oxen
atone.

SHOULD BE SACRED.
Ex-Judge Dlttenhofcr on the Question
of Privileged Journalistic Commu
nication!.
New York Mail and Express.
Judge Dlttenhofer, who has made a
careful examination of the legal aspect
of the question of privileged Journalis
tic communications, says that the ten
dency of the courts is decidedly in the
direction of recognizing the privilege
of confidence when pleaded by reputa
ble Journalist*. Not much has been
written by the law writers upon the
mutter, as U la of comparatively re
cent recognition.
To a Mall and.Express reporter he
said: “Hegeman, in his work on 'Priv
ileged Communications,' has gone Into
rhe matter quite at length, and In his
latest edition says:
" The application off the rule of priv
ileged communications to the public
Journals and newspapers is not yet so
well deflnod as It Is in other branches
of confidential disclosures, oased upon
public policy. The public press has
developed Into a mighty Influence in
all circles of modern civilizations. U
has become the groat educator and
informer of .mankind in social, civil
and political life. Its ear is every
where open to every volee, often hear
ing the Intimation of violated law, and
In crime ofien receiving the first confi
dential clew to the discovery of the
guilty party! 'and It publishes to the
world all Its treasures of knowledge,
and thus it has become a new und
wonderous engine of power in every
field of industry, education, religion,
art. science, enterprise and govern
ment. It is a new factor to be pro
vided for in administering iaw In our
courts of Justice, in the defense of lib
erty and human rights.'
"As evidence of a now and growing
expansion ot the principle ot privilege
applicable, or sought to be made appli
cable, to rhe editor of a newspaper,
alike with the other professions, it will
not ’be out of place to assert here an
editor's plea In this 'behalf, Inspired by
the action of a Boston grand Jury.
The article Is taken from the Central
Laiw Journal, entitled ‘Journalist!^ Se
crets.' m
" ’A Boston grand Jury recently sum
moned before It an editor, to State
under oath, where he bud received cer
tain information which was published
in the columns of Ms journal. He de
clined to tell, under ithe plea that the
case was privileged. Thereupon foe
court was asked to adjudge him guilty
of contempt.'
HONOR AND CONFIDENCE.
•The cause thus originated by the
grand Jury, being heard by the judge,
who had allowed to issue a rule, to
show cause why the editor should not
be punished, an opinion followed, r«-
loasing 'the defendant substantially ta
ken by him at the outset. The result
will create no surplrse, because there
Is as much 'honor and confidence in
volved in the communications made to
editors of newspapers as between the
lawyer and his client, the physician
and his patient or the clergyman and
his confessing parishioner.
“Moral law forbids that communica
tions confidentially disclosed In either
of these relationships shall be pun
ished. The law of the state, which Is
founded on the moral, has taken the
same high ground. Consider what a
fetter would be put on all newspaper
comments If the source of Informa
tion in every case were the subject of
an Inquisition on the part of the grand
Jury. No one would be safe In giving
Information to an editor for public use,
though of the deepest Importance to
the community.
“He would make no use of facts with
in his possession, although such em
ployment of theim would be for the
public good, a* thereby some man may
be brought Into court and made an un
willing witness. t
"The press l« sufilclenty hedged about
by the onllnary law of libel without
the attempt of any grand Jury to un
earth to public gaze the secrets of the
editorial room.
"The author says upon above quota
tions: *U can not be presumed that
the court In this case held that the
common low privilege lexlstlng between
artomey und client waa applicable to
an editor and hi* private informant,
for fuch la not Hie law. Nor cou’.d
the court have extended to the case
the privilege existing between physi
cian and patient and priest and par
ishioner, for these professions derive
the privilege from the statute, and
there Is no statute which extends the
privilege to the editor and fils tnfomer.’
".Section 231 says: The privilege
claimed by the editor to be protected
form the compulsory disclosure of/the
nine of his Informer In matters of
criminal violations of law derives some
consideration from Us analogy to that
existing between the prosecutor of the
pleas and rhe witness who informs
him on behalf of the state.
•The editor in the wile scope of his
vlgltinee over the good order and public
morals of society, is recognised by the
public as standing out In his newspxpet
as a public prosecutor, eften exposing
crime and arraigning at the bar cf pub
lic opinion and before the grand Inquest
ot the country peraens implicated .in the
commission of crime before even the pub
lic prosecutor has taken action In the
premise*. The editor, thus, as It were
fills the place of a tribune, and his news

benefit and assistance In the public ad-i
ministration ot Justice, and .-.e it U well

the editor of a newspaper should be privi

of the witness who confidentially tj-
tarmed him of the public offenses churjfed
without the consent of the Informer.
"The analog} extends to the rule whl.-h
prevails over secrets of state, where from
motives of public policy, In England, n
crown prosecutions and in exchequer In
formations for fraud against the revenue
laws, witness for the crown will not be
permitted to disclose either the names
of the persons from whom they received
information or the name* of those to
whom they gave Information.
