until a reduction of duties or the threat
of It would uot affect business unfa

The business men of tUo country and

tho victims of the lncompctcncy if not
of tho selfishness of politicians. They
will 'demand a rest, and they will
get It.
llut tbo protests against tlio protec

probably, will not bo very long- 'Tho

If HILVEIl DOLLARS WERE
WORTH no CENTS?.
The Telegraph I* nskal by ouo of its
friends If u man who was In possession
of $100 lu gold would not gain $100 if
the mbits were opened to the free coin
age of silver nnd the result wn» legal
tender silver dollars worth only SO
cents hi gold, lie seems strongly of
tlio opinion that tho man would ranko
such a gain. v
The Telegraph la unable to agree wltU
him in that opinion. Under tho clr-
cumstapce* he describe*, 100 gold dol-
lam and 200 silver dollars would be
worth the same. Tlio man might ox-
chiuigo hi* 100 gold dolhirs fur silver
dollars and hnvo twlco as many, but
lie would have gained nolliliig by the
oxcliungo uules* he used the silver dol
lar* to pay a debt contracted before
tho change in the standard of value oc
curred If he did so use his silver dol
lars, he would lm able to legally sat
isfy each dollar of debt with n silver
dollar. In effect, he would lio settling
with bis creditor at 110 cents on tho dol
lar, nud could keep tho other I/O cents
In' bis pocket—a clear gain to him, ex
cept for the wear und tear uu Ids con
science, anil a clear loss to his creditor.
If, however, tho man had do debts
to pay, we seo no way In which lie
could profit by exchanging his gold for
silver. He could buy n's much with hi*
money In otto form or tlio oilier,
whether It wero called $100 or $200.
Tho value of tho gold Itoing real, it
could not bo used to cheat anybody,
ami would not tie In demand for puylug
debts.
DEMOCRATIC ECONOMY.
Tlio statement made by Mr. Sayers,
chairman of the house appropriations
committee, which Is published else
where, shows that tho Democratic con
gress Is making tvn earliest and sue-
eessftd effort to reduce t|)c expenses of
Ihe government. The appropriations
made by this congress during Its ses
sion of more tlmu a year hnvo been
smaller by many millions than these
of uily congress for several years. As
compared with the Itecd congress, coni
trolled by the Republicans, they ua?
less by about $50,000,000 a year.
Tlio showing is a good one.

HDN. CHESTER PEARCE AGAIN.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: Par-
di>n me for again catling into service
your valuable space to notice un article
uf August 2, over the signature or O.
it. Houser vt' fori -Valcy. Hu article
calls to ur.nd on amusing incld-nt
which occurred to myself and an Iraish
Dries mason wnom 1 engaged to build
a su/ne flue to a school mouse. He
had no plumb or leva! uml expressed
doubt about getting the flue straight,
i told him It ae go: it eiralght enough
to draw the amoke and a contribution
from the pa irons to pay for It, that I
would be satisfied, and when Sie fin
ished and came down und looked up st
it he remarked -that he had burmed
on getting ic straight, but thought it
was crooked enough to draw the atten
tion of all Ihe <1—d fou.s that passed
by. Now since Mr. Houser Iras seen
tit -to auuck my Integrity and bring
into question my Democracy he must
not be susprisi-d if I reverse the pitch-
fork and come at him point foremost.
Now 1 am really surprised a* some
of hi* statements. I don’t know chat
Mr. Houser -would willfully and know
ingly misrepresent a matter, but i do
know that' he haa handled the truth
quite recklessly tn several uf his st'ate-
menu In hi* article of the second In*:.
He said that Mr. Colyer eras declared
the nominee and 'Mr. Duncan con
tested- The -truth la that Mr. Dun
can was declared the nominee by a ma
jority of seven vote* and Mr. Colyer
contested on the ground of illegal
votes, and as sound und pure Demo-
ci-a-ts nosing from pure and unpreju
diced motives, mot willing to run the
man over the party and its precedents
and principles, ihe then executive com
mittee cheerfully granted him a hear
ing, which resulted In him being de
clared the nominee by a major,'ty of
21 votes, and 'without going into fur
ther detain tl Anally resulted In giving
the office to Mr. Colyer. the contestant,
and not’to Mr. Duncan, the contes-
tee, and the same results would have
followed In tMs case hud the same
sound Democratic principles character
ised -the action of Mr. Houser when
casting th* deciding vote on my appli
cation to be tiearil on the ground of
illegal votes, hence my comfort and
f tetcedent In th-ai case. Now he aays
the Fatgan-Bauimun contest wus before
the legisiuuure. So It was, but It was
between Houston county claimants, and
both Democrats, and hence It was prop
erly a Houston county contest. Consis
tency is a Jewel'that Mr. Houser seems
to be a slonger to. He oaya that our
people are satlsfled and pay no atten
tion to my dying kick, nnd yet he says
tney ure on tipioi- of expectation to pee
my next race bn -the political stage,
clearly potniUng to -a probable inde-
Pendewt candidacy on my part.
■Now 1 have always noticed that peo
ple who live tn gaits houses take great
risk to be costing stones around pro
miscuously. 1 have In mind a case
of u tie between OIr. Houser and Mr.
Skellit for tho nomination for candidate
for -tho office of mayor of Fort Val
ley. and after the tie hart been se-ttled
in favor of Mr. Bkellle by arbliralurs
chosen by themselves, the only thing
that saved the good -town the misfor
tune of having .Mr. Houser on them
as nn independent onndldake was the
superior strength of hts cook skirt and
the great welgnt of his frlehds put
upon It ta hold him down. ’ Now I
tnlnk Mr. Houser's .tiptoe expectants
represent the same crowd tha-. were to
be drawn by the crookedness, of the
Irishman's stone flue, and after having
allowed them to restrain In -that totter
ing tiptoe position until 1 think they
have been sufficiently punished for
their unpardonable folly, I shall then
proceed to the work of easntf them
down to a more natural Democratic
position. Something 'that, perhaps,
tney are not very well acquainted with
especially If they learned It upder Mr.
Houser's reformed friend, Mr.-G'.les,
who, by the elpotlon returns of 1X13,
is shown to have peen slewed to ihe
offle* of ordlntiry pf Houston couhty
on the straight out Republican ticket
and whom ‘Mr. lluuser seems-willing
io force upon the people of the county
in tho October elections. Mr. Houser
refers sarcastically to the h*t of Ille
gal votes submitted by us for boniest
und broadly asserts mat he know# they
were nil right, and he offers nothing
(o back up hts numerous, absolutely
false assei-tlons. He usserl* that no
one believes the resultl -.would
have 'been changed had the Contest
gone on. If ho I* honfst ln what he
say a, why was he so opposed to being
mvasl«fU<edf lie cJuinis io write to
correct wredig Impressions Jhai 1 have
mails on ta* outs/de world, und eays,
coll our people pay no attention to
Pwfee. Now; l would infoiln t|.e gen
tleman that i did not, emp.oy t-'ounm
and drive over uuo county gelling up

friend George Maddox of Fort Valley
and io tho paatvr of Ms church, when
tvaviug an overdose of John Barleycorn
great pain and racket, nod was,
d«K«d i>y in’-* S*A»t° r M nc ' N%UI BlcK ;

ut rae Toattvr or is not dl.powd to
sneak U. The urllc.e from Denard tn
list week's Home Journal, as well SS
a number of teters 1 have received
und many strong personal appeals from
as true Democru** as there ure tn Geor
gia to enter the raoe. not os an Inde
pendent, but aa the Democratic nom
inee, on the ground tnat Giles Is not
ihe nominee, go to show that our peo
ple. th* Democrats, ere greatly exer
cised over the situation, und well should
they be. wnen auen bombastry and
egotism as characterised by the elec
tive comniltec at U* last meeting,
should be put upon them.
Mr. Houser charges on me that 1 Ig
nored I .leg.) I votes cast for myself
looking up for the contest. 6o I dkl.
because t was not engaged for Mr.
Giles, as Mr. llouser was now Messrs.
Gile. Houser & Oo., have cited quite
u long list of laws to sustain them In
tbelr actions. Now I snail submit btK
tittle law und rely more upon facts
which ars better nnd safer for Dem
ocrat* in pa ray matter* between them
selves. In tha acts of 1X91. ruse 210. Is
tne first and only law In Georgia that
makes a nomination a legal election,
and tl>« simply doss so by the party
tor the government add nunag.-nent
of its party selection of candidates for
office. In thla case th* party rule re
quired notice of contest to be served
In fifteen days, which waa done.. The
new of UU. pug* lit. on contests, re
quires service on the committee tn
five days, wntch waa done by leaving
It at his borne as the law requires, and
Giles and counsel eet up the unheard-
of plea that service upon Giles In person
vrsa required, nnd that five days no
tice meant front a period and not to
h period, a tMng unheard-of in legal
business. A thin* may be required In
a stated period, as was our notice of
contest, but the time of notice to be
given when an action Is brought
against a party, aa 1n this case, always
runs to tbs period of bearing and not
from a period. »
Mr. Houser talks about many weeks
of tlm* being occupied by the contest,
t was one of the board that acted In
the Duncan-Ootyer contest, and tn ana
Jty we did tho work, and could have
Jon* the same ta tbie alee had we hare
been met with an honest purpose on
the part of Giles, Houser A Oo.. cared
to go honestly und earneetly Into the
work, but they wet* nfratd to stand
th* rachst.
Now, Mr. Houser, very kindly re
lieve* me of the unpeasant duty of
charging and proving he was mistaken,
by simply saying that lie did not believe
I wae advised by lawyer* and Demo-
w-i-ta. aa he stated, to enter my eas
iest. ft Is very strange that Mr
Iiouaer labors so Hard to make the
Impression that no one waa In sympa
thy with my e**e, in the face of (he
facta that fourteen out of twenty-nine
of the committee voted to sustain me,
and three out of c-ie four lawyers on
III- -■ jin mi:'- • were on my K--1-. An-1
the nets show -that of the impartial
vote I bad -a decided majority, a* veus
fully demon Strata* by the conduct of
•he bomt/a*Uc chairman, who could,
wttb difficulty, be pulled down from a
set speech" to influence the vote of the
committee to disqualify a member./rogi
acting In the contest case, when coun
sel on twth aides had been heard from,
and the only right the chairman had
In the mailer was to vote In case of
a tie.
Now, in conclusion and for the relief
of that tortured tiptoe crowd, I will
say that I am 51 years old nnd have
never broke rank* nor showed the whits
feather yet, either In word or act, nnd
I Shall certainly not set out st this late
day. If I stood -the racket In 1873,
when Mr. Glte* pulled on the black'
mantle, I can surely stand In this
bright hour when the effulgent splen
dor of th* great sun of Democratic
victory Is io guild our banners all over
this Southland. And I sky now. what
1 said to « friend last week, who sought
to draw me out on the subject of en
tering the canvas, my answer *o him
was that i could not be Induced to do
so under any circumstances, not if I
could be eleoted by it- majority of three
to one over my opponent .without leav
ing borne at h1l. I am a Democrat
and shall do as much to secure a large
majority for Democracy tn October
as nny man In the county, with no
giwatrr field to work In. and though
I am a* sure that I aim the Democratic
nominee of this county for the legisla
ture. aqd Mr. Gles Is not, as I am of my
life. Yea: 'If the party oan stand him I
can, nod I Shall-support him with all
my force when the /lay comes.

GEN. KELL'S GREAT CAREER.
To. the Editor of the Telegraph: The
friends -and admirer* of Adjt. Gen. J.
McIntosh Kell, In the "Talk About
.Miliary" art to:-? In today's Telegraph,
fed that un injustice ha* been done
him, and request you to publish these
facts, inasmuch, as ho 1* an applicant
(for reappointment!
In tue first place, Adjt. Gen. Kell s
term L» non “uuout out," and his suc
cessor is not to b* appointed uuttl tho
incoming governor, AUUnoon, Ja inau
gurated.
Col. Kell's application for renppolnt-
mefit is based on hke Qualification In
every respect, and his administration
through two gubernatorial terms, to
the great satisfaction of the m.lltlj.
*n-l v.ve people of l:he state- Aside from
this, his oaroer deserve* pussing no-
u-e. Graduated In the famous class
of Ml at Antra polls, he took a conspic
uous part In naval history before tho
war, serving lu the first expedition to
Japan under Commodore Matthew
Perry, tile l.lireatentd wur with Lopes
in South Amerioi, and In California
against the Mexican*.
Tendering Ills sword to Ills native
Georgia -niton #he seceded, be was, at
Admiral Semmes' req test, assigned to
duty «3 first lieutenant and executive
officer of the Sumter, then fitting for a
cruise to New Orleans. Proceeding
Utlther in May. 1861. h« escaped with
tho Sumter, after a chase by the Fed
eral ship Uroklyn, and rode the sea*
with his nd-mirnhle captain until she
-wus sold, when they were transferred
to -the "290." after the world-tamed
"Alabama." The history of these ves
sels, from tho statu of the Sumter at
Now Orleans to the bloody deoth of the
‘‘Alatmana" lu the English channel. Is
a romance of the «?jo far surpassing
any ever penned by Capt. -Maryatt. in
commenting on tho fight with the
Kcursarge, Admiral Semmes Bays:
"The ship settled by the stern, nnd us
tbo taffr.all wus about lobe submerged
Kell nnd myself threw ourselves into
the sex and swam out tar enough
from the sinking ship to avoid being
drawn down Into the voi'.ox of waters.
We then turned to get a Inst look at
her and see her go down. Jtwt before
eh? disappeared he: 1 main topmast
whkih had been wounded, went by the
board, and, like n living thing lu ng-
ony, she threw her bow high out of the
-winter, nnd l.hert descended rapidly
stem foremost to her lust resting
place. A noble Roman once slabbed
his daughter rather than she F-hould be
polluted by the foul embrace of the
tyrant. It was with n similar feeling
that Kell and I saw the Alabama go
down. We had burled her, as we had
christened her, and she was safe from
the polluting touch of the hated Yan
kee.”
, Capt Kell married hts wife. Miss
Hlanchc 'Munroe of Macon, In Christ
church in 1856. Ills eldest living
do-ughier married from Mneon, nnd
lives here. His wife and three children
•were In Macon during his Hhrce years
and four months' absence. He heard
from them on an average of o-nse n
y«tr. nnd on the Sunday morning that
he went out to fight the Kearairge he
received notice of the detth or two of
these children with dlnhlherla nnd th-
critical Illness of the third. These two
dying within three days of each other
lie side by side In Rose HM1 cemetA-y;
and for these and many other reasons
ho no doutr. feels n peculiar attach
ment for Macon, nnd ha- a right to
expert the good will of the people of
M u-.vo.
'As far aa the military hns spoken, he
trill that good -will In the unanimous
recommendation for reappointment, on
