BLOODSHED AT CHICAGO.
Tho first collision between the troops
and tiro rioters In Obtoago wits unfur-

avoided, tliourfi when the orehlllkm of
affairs to the lilk Western city ivus
taken Into consld-mtion Qiervi was
little ground for luoh hope.
Tho rioters seem to be roused to n
pitch of lowIetMiioss and to n feeling
of hatred uguiimt tho soldiers which
makes it altogether pp'liable ihot this
la hut the first of a series of bloody
battle*.
The moat tuifurtumirfo fmture of this

11IIIII 1H POIt BARTLETT.
THie Democracy of Bibb, In mnss
imsrtng nsKumbleil, adopted a ringing
set of resolution* yesterday fornrally
placing ln nomlmtHon for n>pr«*rnln-
live in cung.Css from tho sixth eon-
gresslimnl district Judge diaries I,.
Dirtlett. It was n big meeting nnd
cirtfuislaatte. nnd wbon the resolution
bMbhcMnff tlie delegation from Bibb
to u*o nil honorable means to secure
the, nniuluathin of Judge Bartlett, there
was not u ulwemUng voice.
Blhh has every iv.iJuit to ho jirouil
of her cnndldiue. Tliere Is no Demo
crat In tho state who has been truer
to the Interests of the party or to the
slado Ilian lma this tried ami true
tauter. Itenily nt all times with Ids

ocracy. be bus -not hesha'.tsl tn sink
his peiNoir.il a in billons tiad hts private
Interests when tho good of tho party
demanded It
Two yean* ago tlio nomination for
congress was almost within I1I3 grasp.
He boil wNJiltii one volk of enough to
nominate him. It would have been
praotlenlly ttupradble for nny other
asiilrant to Irave sivnml votes enough
to have beaten him, nml hnil he been
a man who pkiocd his selfish Interests
above all oCtaru It 1« altogether proh-
side tlmt by prolonging the struggle,
Wldch bail already liegun to develop
eleiumta of blMenirtw. he might have
secured the DoniUmtlon.
Judge BartleW, however, realized
that the DcmounCtlc party In 'Georgia
was facing u foo of unknown strength;
thn-t n predldeulkil election, fraught
with the most momentous .1 con!u>-
qoeocss to tho country, was pending,
ami tlmt It wan of prime Importance
Unit the Democratic party should pro-
sent an unbroken front to the foe ami
should go Into the fight solid nml

11c was a -big enough man tn sink

and of the oouotry, amt without hesl-

THE STRIKE MAY SPREAD.
Tlie next few days will |>ructleally
decide IIiv Course of the big strike In
Cbhtigo. A meeting of repreecutarives
of many of the big muhw uulon.v In
Uuit city outside of the railroad men
will be held today to decide wlat ac
tion will lie taken by their organlxa-
rksts. It Is txvj Inv, voUiMi- ttkit they
have os uHirtt reasett Aw such action
as did the Am,’riwto Utrtlwuy Vnhm.
If the tiullding and other'trade* con
clude to stop tvvrk It will add largely
to the crowd of Idlers who nxikc up
the met** who fill the streets of the city
by rhe lake and will tuoke the sltua-
that much more serious than It Is now.
Tlien the rtUlnxid nn-u In tlie South

Hlble to eetlmote the lows to the busl
ines Inlecwu* of the United Sr-ttes or
the suffering which will be Imposed
00 lmkieeiit people in every section.
On the other Siand, If the strike Is
confined to its present dimensions for
the present week It will In all proba
bility ltd ended tvitbln a comparaftiveiy
short lime. The present week will tell
the story.
AS TO MERIWETHER COUNTY.
In connection trtrh the report that
Col. Garrard hail carried Meriwether
county, It should lie slated that MaJ.
Bacon's friemla In Meriwether notified
him that It would be bi-tter for the
county to go for Garrard as first Choice
without couteat. 'MaJ. Bacon Is not
aware that there wns any context over
the senacnrship In Meriwether. That
county may b*’ regarded an one of tlie
borne’ cotmiles of Coiumbtu.
INVITATION TO MAJ. BACON.
MsJ. Bacon has received an Invita
tion to speak on the political Isxiint of
the day at LaGrungc on the 21st lnat.
He will accept Ihe In vital.,an and
speak there on the date named. He
has a similar Invitation from the good
Democrats of Clayton county, and will
speak In that county on the Tld of this
month.
The position In regard to the pres
ence of United BUtes troops in Chi-
on go assumed by Governor Altgeld,
Involves a most important qmtttlon of
cooaUtutloo.il law', the detUement of
which, nfier opler 5s restored la Chi
cago, will be watched with keen Inter
est all over rhe country. It is In some
respeots one of tho moot Important
frtUnres in this unleappy business, so
far as Its ultimate results are con
cerned.
Populists are great at claiming. Two
yoars ago they laid a whaling big ma
jority, *0 they said, In July, but in Oc
tober they couldn't tell "where they
wore nit.” So It la thla year. Tliey
have things in a swing hi Georgia
now, If you let them tell It, but when
It oomni to voting Umo (hey will find
there is a vast difference between talk
and votes, nnd It takes votxs to win
an election.
President Delis' nddress to tho strik
ers sjdvWng ngniuHt vloleneo and law
lessness Is in the right spirit, lmt Is
llki-IJ to have tittle effect Tho trouble
Is'rjint n vast majority of those en
gaged In these lawless demonstrations
nre not strikers, but the roughs nnd
crowds who congregate in such unm-
l«i» In a city the size of Chicago.
Twiggs county declares! for llacon.
The major’s list grows nlmost as fast
as illd that of Mr. Atkinson early In
the gubernatorial campaign, and
Iris opponents are not careful the ulti
mate result will lw the rajne.
The fur will fly In the fifth congres
sional illstriot this week. OoL Living
ston Is 11 laird man to bout In n iiolit-
tnal campaign, but OoL Oandler will
give him a powerful wrestle for tho

One of ®tc leading wholesale grocers
of Macon said yesterday If tho rallroud
strike iras not settled within a week
his firm would not have a man on tho
road uoxt week. They would have
nothing to sell.
By n dispensation of providence

GEORGIA FARMS AND FARMERS.
Reports from different section* show
that the rain has fallen pretty sen-ral
ly throughout the cotton districts dur
ing rhe past week. Th* growing crop
has been greatly benefiltted, but there
U considerable complaint that the yield
will not be up to the nvorejge oil ac
count of the recent freeze nnd ^contin
ued drought*. In Terrell the crop Is nrf
below the average for the season.—

"Capt. Corput 1ms Inst had his crop
of wlieat threshed from six nnd soven-

nered J02 1-J bushels and lias about
five bushels more to get out. His av
erage will be something over 80 bushels
per acre, hut for tho freeze In Mnreh
hts average would have been over 60

MAJ. BACON AN D SILVER.
From the Lawrencevllle News.
Tho News said Inst week that It would
gladly support MaJ. Bscon for the senate,
provided his views on public questions
were In harmony with its own. We now
go further nnd say that we are for him,
heart and aoul. If he has been correctly
reported. In his Canton speech last
Turnd-vy the ,*nnstItutlnn quote, him .is
follows:
"I desire to say for myself that I would
not favor nny silver dollar which Is not
on a parity with the gold dollar In pur-
chasing power.”
The above statement does credit tn MaJ.
Bacon's Democracy. It shows that he
stnnd* on the Chicago platform, and that
he hsa ne sympathy -with the Populist
movement In favor of the free nnd un
limited coinage of silver without regard
to parity. MaJ. Bacon, Ilk* every other
Democrat, favors silver coinage on parity
with gold, but he realises the folly of
the third party's position on the question,
and he emphasises the fact that he will
favor none but honest money.
The News will, therefore, give 5IaJ.
Bacon Ita hearty support. He Is today
the ablest man aspiring to the place for
Which he asks, and Georgia')* Interests
will rent safely In his h-anda. He has
been Indored by a large number of coun-
tie, ‘and the way seems clear for hla
success.

From ths Covington Star.
tVe are pleased to eee that a large num

Hi'

NO WHY OR WHEREFORE.
TWIN MELONS.
From the Albany HeraM.
The Herald received yeaterday after
noon. with the compliments of Messrs.
W. H. Newsome and A. J. Fleetwood, the*
••melon kings'* of Lee county, a freak of
nature In tlie shape of a double water
melon. or rather two well developed, ma
tured molone Joined together Siamese
twin fashion. Both melons grew from
the some stem, the latter being Hat In
stead of round, and. while each melon Is
a perfect melon to Itself, the two nre
joined together. It to a genuine freak of
nature and well worth seeing. It can
be seen at the Herald office.
TAI.BOT IS ALL RIGHT.

The Telegraph warns the party that the
Populists will make the light for the
•'There to no why or wherefore in love or
In liking;"
They come, like our dreams, without
wishing or will.
And others, the fact which seems the
least striking.
Our soul with life’s fullness and beauty
may thrill.
Who can tell the meaning of dreams that
enthrall us.
That breathe of sweet hope, or with
bodlngs of woe?
Who can measure the visions that charm
or appal us.
Or tell how they come, or whither
they go?
So 'tls with the love—with the passion
which reaches
Its aims to entwine them, mysterious
nnd strange,
•Round cur hearts In a sweet, ever sweeter
beseeching, ,
And we hear but the music of love’s
deathless aong. »
The face which another would pass by
unheeding, •
Holds for us all of life In Us smiles
and Its tears.
And the car which to deaf to another's
warm pleading
Will quicken to us in a lovo without
fears.
Oh! faces angelic, so perfect In feat
ure,
Ye may smile on the crowds as ye pass
In the street—
•But H may be that Love seeks the'less-
favored creature
To Invest with his passion so wild and
There is something—a voice In lta ca
dences tendet.
May thrill througu the heart never
a Hen t again—
There to something-*, glance which art
cannot render.
Which draws, us, nnd holds us, like
music’s refrain.
Oh! spirit'eternal. In palace or garret.
It holds all alike In it* mystical thrall;
But sad Is the thought—yea, ’tls anguish
* to bear It—
That lovo means not joy to the end,
for us all;
For Pain Is thy sister, thou spTtit of
blessing.
And Sorrow stands near, the wild pulses
to chill: . ,
But the soul which to anchored In thy
dear possessing
Finis a courage to bear and a faith
to fulfill.
•T*s God’s dearest gift to hto children so
weighted
By burdens and griefs, which the world
cannot share.
And we cherish the gift so immortally
freighted—
Our soother In pain, and orr comfort
in care.
