This Whole nation lain lreen thrown
Into confusion by a quarrel hot ween
rullninn mid IKs workmen. Pullman,
worth g35.000.000, could not «■» Mint
h<- was oppressing his employes. He
reduced wages according to the depres

committee, presented the hardship of

Now ivliat In the result of the con
duct of a man controlling millions of
money, who refines to do right by Ids
labor. We see the results.
Nor do we uphold Dobs. Because
Pullman, tiiMtvre, unjust, cruel nnd re-
Ion'll**, does wrong, he, Debs, must
do n greater wrong. Why stop the
trains which nre the eommon e-arrlers
of the country 1 v Why suck a remedy

The eondlMon of affairs In Chicago
I* aptstlling. 1 n addition to the titter
contempt for law slioivn by many of
t ie citizens of that city, the property
loss has been almost past computation,
A tarufnl iMtumi-te is tlutt more than
¥2,00*),000 luts been aouutlly destroyed
by the rioters. The amount which has

would bo withlu limits jp say that the

Much of this lues Hulls, too, on people
wIm have no oarfhly interest In the

ANOTHER REVIEW
OF POLITICS
What’s the Matter With the Pot That
It Hasn’t Yet Begun to
Boil ?
PLENTY OF CANDIDATES OM HAND
And lb* f’ot laOrlAlnly Fall Enough
for til* Fir* to Be Started. Kow
1 hut County Election Times
Are leoomlng Into View.
It la a little surprising to the man
who la In terested in and keeps a close
watch on pj.ltica and polltlclana that
thlnga are not beginning to get warmer
in the sphere of local polltica respecting
the legislative candidates who have
dared to show their heads Inside the
OJurse where tho race Is soon to be
putled off.
But then the hot July weather, no
doubt, has a great deal to’ do with tt,
though the candidates should consider
that ths summer is half guns and fall
la approaching rapidly to catch them
unannounced. The fact Is there does
not seem to be the Interest now that
was noted two months ago, and uif.ess
somebody gets a stir' on themselves,
and 'that pretty soon, somdbody Is go
ing to get left In -this race, s
This la obliged to be the oaae. though
where there are *o many candidates,
although, strange as tt may seem, the
list of entries in the legislative tilt (a
decreasing rather than growing. A
number of gentlemen, It la understood,
who contemplated seriously announc
ing a month ago have abamtoned the
ambition to serve Btbb cunty In the
general assembly, and have done what
a good many others will have to do
sooner or later-gone back to their
work.
Sir. Hugh V. Washington, who is
flat-footed in the race for representa
tive. is the only one who has so far
made a formal announcement. The
others seem undecided ahout what they
they will do. while In many cases this
indeclsloif has come to tihe end of driv
ing aspirants back In their holes. Mr.
Washington says he wants the people
to know he is in the race and believes
In being ,in time. He has set out to
wake somebody up and Is bending ev
ery energy to win.
The latest authentic bulletin gives
the names of Che following gentlemen
as those who are understood to hsve
entered the light as atarters. though
only one of them has openly an
nounced; (Messrs. Hugh Washington.
J.-'hn T. Botfeulllet, Hope Polhlll. Joe
HCII, Jeff Ware and’ Sfarlon Harris.
A friend of Capt. W. A. Davis said
yesterday 'that 'he would positively not
be In tho race. This will be a surprise
to many-of the captain's friends, how
ever, for 1t certainly has been under
stood by a great many that he would
make the race. Mr. W. B. Birch Is
quoted ns having said he would not
run. Mr. Morris Happ's friends are
after him warmly to come out. and it
Is not definitely certain yet that he
will not.
Ool. Nat Harris and Hon. Bob
Hodges are going to have an Interest
ing time of It In their senatorial race.
Both gentlemen will stick In the race
out to the end.
But It remains for the ooronorshlp
to furnish the most Interesting of all
the contests this year. Up to last nlgljt
there were somewhere about thirty
candidates for this place and every one
os confident of winning as tf there
were no opposition. It Is very prtfcable
that tlwre will be a People's party
candidate put out soon for the ooronor
shlp. which will run the list up one
notch higher, that's all.

Mutt llmre More Rooms •
Yesterday waa a red letter day at
the tabernacle. All people were de
lighted witfi every service.’ Tbo Chris
tian church has every reason to congrat
ulate Itself t>n securing able ond worthy
evangritets as Romig and Dawdy.
The Sunday sohool In the i»iorning
won well attended, and children and
grown people alike were deeply Inter
ested and much impressed by the ex
ercises.
At 11 o'clock the evangelist preached
a eoul-fftirring sermon on missions and
on giving financial suppbrt to the cause
of Christ. The best Sunday audience of
the meeting was present, and many ex
pressed themselves as highly delighted
and greatly benefttted by tlie evangel
ists’ -thoughts and convinolng -words
of the evangelist who labors without a
salary and depends on the ottering of
thbse who hear Ibr nU support.
At last night’s aervlce 'die tabernacle
was crowded. One thousand two hun
dred people heard an able and eloquent
sermon to young men. Tlhis was, In
reaUfty, a temperance sermon. The
preacher held the attention* of every
one in the house l’or fully one hour,
while maijy ttt the windows listened
throughout. TWe sermon was pro
nounced by tho»e who have heard oth
ers and who. 'therefore, are in p’osltloa
to know, to be -the very best sermon
on temperance ever delivered In the t
etty of Macon.
It Is impossible to give a complete
outline bf this sermon. We give Just
a few of the most prominent features:
He said, after having introduced his
subject, there Were two ladders In this
world upon one of which we were all
traveling. These ladders wore made by
the Apostle Paul. One of them led
downward to hell, tho other led upward
to heaven. The first round In the down
ward ladder was adultery, the last was
drunkenness. Jim before entering hell
Paul placed drunkenness Just over hell
and this wa* right. For, said the even-
gelist, there Is nothing a drunk man
will not do. would be guilty of every
one of the crimes that Paul mentioned
before naming drunkenness. Drink was
responsible for 75 per cenit. of the crimes
committed In our land. Six million
American* became drunkards every
year. Seventy-two thousand Americans
die drunkards yearly.
Ho said that drink hindered a young
man commercially, for no reliable hou*»e
would employ a man who would drink.
It Injured him socially, lbr no respecta
ble parents wanted tiholr daughters to
associate with drinking men. it Injured
them morally and spiritually, and made
them beasts. Each bf tlie above points
was illustrated with pointed and most
•telling Illustration* culled from the
speakers own large and varied experi
ence.
The moderate drinking today was the
drunkard of tomorrow. You wouldn’t
become a drunkard, ybu wouldn’t mis
treat your family. Nb you wouldn’t,
but when you are drunk you are not
yourself. The liquor excites your ani
mal passions, destroys your judgment,
your self control, and leaves a raging
beast to do you know not what.
Then followed a number of llluetrn-
tlon.s, each bringing some new phase
of the woe that lurks In the intoxicating
cup. He would rather see his own
daughter In her coffin than that she
woul wed a drinking man.
He made an earnest plea to men to
fight this -traffic, and called upon the
unconverted to take Jesus as their part
ner. fight this instrument of eatan. live
pure and holy lives and be saved.
In the beginning of last night’s serv
ice Profeseor Dowdy *ang his moot ex
cellent solo, entitled. “Shivering in the
Gold.” At the close of the itannon
he sang one devoted tb whisky and the
ruin It causes. Both of these were
well sung, and will not coon be forgot
ten by these who heard them. Dur
ing the invitation he sang most feeling
ly “Almost Pe»HHaded.’’ The singing
of the chorus last night was especially
fine and called forth many favaraJble
comments.
At the close # of -the* service four
young people came to unite with the
church and lead the Christian life. All
In all this wws the most delightful serv
ice of the meetings.
The Christian church ho* been eo
