Th(t Toli-graph liun no disposition wliAtover, lu tlm tllacuiuitaa of tlin silver question, to <lo the Atlanta Constitution on injustice. Wo do not now see Unit It did ho In Its comments ou that pu ller's Ireatmcnt of tbo report signed by the bimetallist members of the (Icrman currency conferenco, those maunenta were busisl on the ussmnptiou flat if the Constltul on mx-oplcd the conclu sion of flcnuau sdcullsls us to the ne cessity of ro-cshtbllshloi; bimetallism, It must also accept Uukr couclnslon that such re-ostat>i:«hmcot Is possible ouly through tin International agreement. Our canlcmponiry contends that the re port does not sli'ow that the Gerinun rcleullsls hud reachnl the latter con clusion. It snys: "Hut the Telegraph Is entirely wrong In llg statement of the concluelon of the Oertnun bimetallists. Instead of decler- Ins International nsreetnent to be ‘the only means by which blmelaUlem can be ae- dins),' theao eminent men, after review* Inc the distressing effect of the detnonetl aatlun of silver, concluded as follows: '• 'A C.ruvliltnt ntatemanshlp eartnot discredit sliver and let it lose Its value, when all human foresight Is to the effect that the metal will be absolutely 'Indis pensable In the future. “ Tile present moment, wltneeelng an Increase In gold production which may be the last, Is precisely the time to aarry through an International system of bi metallism, as this oan now be done with out any fear that gold will laava the circu lation or attain an aalo. Those who prophesy a gold agio In case of bimetal. Item overlook the fact that they thereby ascribe to gold a scarcity and dearness too great to allow of gold posel- %bly continuing the sole standard.' '• This extract from the report does not conlaiu the words on which tho Tele- Ciuph'K UMUinptlon win based. That tiusumpHlon rested on tho tleojuratlou ef the signers of tho report that "If It lie objected Hint the restoration of sli ver would occasion for Germany n cri sis whoso limits could not lie fontseoa, It must bo noticed, In tho Hint place, that we do not strive for nny Interposi tion In beiinlfof silver savo ou the busts of an Internatlouul agreement.” Noth ing could be more explicit. It Ik, In ef fect, admitted that the attempt of Ger many ulouo to remouctlxo silver would preeipltuto n orhds'whoso Unite ennuot lie foreseen, and It Is denied that tho elgucra of tho report favor such action on tho part of Germany. They favor bl- mctnlllnni, but the inference wlilrh wo drew that they were opposed to any thing except International bimetallism was not only JuMIflcil but inado uccca- enry by the words of tho report. The Telegraph has no prltlo of opin ion In tills mutter, and no victory to will. 11 desires only that discussion of this grtMt question, on the proper settle ment of whleli It believe* the future prosperity of the country In largt' meas ure depends, shall ho lionvit and en lightening. The in-op’.o ore entitled to that sort of tlieenaeka In their nowapa- por*. If they do not hnvn it. If their judgment Is deceived by appeals to their prejudices or by tho concealment of Important facts in Iho problem they nro called upon to solve, they will fall Into errors disastrous to themselves and t nlw.ling Mifferlng even on the genera tion which will fellow after them. Wo do not thluk that rant tvhont the sharks of Wall street, gold-bugs, etc.. m>r at tempts to rouse tho nnilonat prejudice against Great ltrltnln touch tho merits of the silver question. On the contrary they obscure llie rani plants at Ismio mid prevent men affected by tho preju- iliets ihus apiHMiid to from studylug the quc*tioo In the manner that they should. It Is In fact a question of cold telon c, with ivhvrii prejudice against Wall stioet qud antipathy to Unstt llritaln ltara nothing whatever to do. A proposition In Duaace Is nut ncces- xarUy wnjog becqueo \\'*H street favors It nor cliargid w,ih tnxtchery iiccau favor.tl by Unulxml street. The men who do business on Wall atroct are self ish, aa arc other nun. Thera is no evt- donee that duty nro more selfish. llut, whatever they are, tholr prosperity de pends In a general way on tho same conditions that ara nccixttnry to welfare of uien living claowhera anti gaged in a different kind • t business. The very Unit of these conditions I* the HActvdnesa of contracts and the omtl- donee In other men which that aacrad- ness makes possible. As tho Telegraph has frequently saU. the people lo this country arc practically unanimous lit favor .if fc- tneOtUIsm, and wo mean t atnetndc the people of Wall street, Thera I* a dif ference' of optnloB only is to the meth ods by which bimetallism may bo lirougnt about. Discuxslor therefore, shouM deal with not with a principle wjiich Is universally accepted.' Charges'of bad faith can only exasper ate and make agreement as to method* more difficult. Xlio controversy turns on the question whether the free coin age of silver, without an Intirnathianl agreement, would Result in the practical demonetization of gold, by driving >t to n premium that would prevent its circulation as money. That is the point which ought to be discussed, about which the people oughLto have the full est opportunity to deliberately and coldly make up their minds, without ex- cltenioat and without prejudice against Wall street sharks" or "Lombard street .Jews." They ought to underatnud tlint their purpose must lie to udvnnco their gwtt welfare, not to pttuish “Hharks'' or “Jews." Wc have seen no argument and no statement of.facts which-shakes our conviction that’ free coinage nt the pres- cjit ratio, or at any ratio short of that Axed by the markets, would result In an exclusive silver currency and the sil ver standard of value In this country. When the Constitution contends that the value of gold Is rapidly increasing, It admits Gist the. value of that metal Is lixed by the demarnkfarutaeicpuipared with the supply. This name law of de mand uni supply must control the value of silver, nmt wo cuunot see how the former rotation of sliver to gold of 1U tc- 1, at a time when I>oth were lu uni versal demand ns money, can bo re stored while the demand for gold con tinues to bo universal and, even with free coinage, die demand for silver comes only from the United States trad certain seinl-clvillzed coun tries of small wealth and compare lively Insignificant commerce. Wo do not mean to deny that the demand for sil ver created by tho free coinage of tlmt metal In tho United State* would fall to Increase lls bullion pn.ee. Wo think such tin Increase certain. Wc think, further, that the transfer of the gold sb-ck of the United States to i-iurope, consequent upon tho creation of nu agio or premium on that metal, would result In a farther narrowing of tho differcnco In tho market price between tho two metals. IJut when tho Consti tution puts forward the great resources of die United States, its “‘boundless capacity tor business growth and ex pansion," as proof that free coinage would not result In a premium on gold, we think It deala in vague generalities In treating 'a problem which requires tlut exactness of science for Its proper solution. The experience of tins coun try has shown that a difference of half n point botween the coinage sud the market value of gold and sliver was sutfiolent to drive either one or the other out of circulation. Tho present expe rience of other nations shows that the free coinage of bodt munis means In pntctieo a silver currency and tho silver rtnudnnl of value. Not one of Uteso na tions but what is In n low stale of de velopment, poor, ignorant anil unhappy, and most of them are torn by luternnl dissension. In not one of them Is tbere n frcJ government lu our sense of the term, and In the few where there Is a MtnUsnco of orderly government n dic tator, lu fact If not In name, bolds tho reins of power. As wo have said, we have no desire to misrepresent the Constitution. We have no desire to get the better of It In nn argument. Hut we believe that It Is misleading, to the extent of Us In- tlueucc, the people of tills state ,-n tho t>dver question, mnl do desire that It hnnge Its method of dealing with the silver question. If the Populists propose to raise that f-15,(X>>,000,01X1 by the issuance of bomb, the annual Interest charge at ii 1-2 per cent, would be 71,575,0(10,000, more then three times the present an nual expenditures of the government. Additional taxes to the extent of 722.50 per capita or 5112.50 for each family of hve would have to tie raised every year to pay It. Pretty good for a party of economy and reform. Old Warrior is going to just spread herself two week* from today, and the luggcst barbecue of the campaign is what she is aiming at Mr. Atkinson will ho there If he will, listen to the earnest Invitation of his Ii.bb county fiends, and every Democrat In Bibb is his fnend. Judge Bartlett nnd Judge Clifford Anderson will also be there, and other Democratic orators have been invited. Much has been’ said about divisions lu iho Democratic parly over matters ef fliuuchil and other reforms, and much stress bns been laid on tbe fact that the Populists are united and har monious. Hence It Is to be inferred that Mr. Watson's party approves of all those wildcat measures Introduced by the chosen representatives lu con gress of his piarty. IIow do the bard working Populists of Georgia relish the Idea of paying to Northern pensioners,nearly $71,500,000 of tliclr hardly earned wealth? That would be about Georgia's share of the money required to meet the expendi tures provided In the pension bills In troduced lu congress by Populists. With Crisp, Turner, Unrtlett, Lester, Lawson, Maddox, Bussell, Livingston, Moses, Tate and Black In tbe houso of representatives, and Bacon nnd Gordon In the senate, Georgia's delegation In the Fifiy-foiirlh congress will size up with that of any state In tho Uutou- After tbe Constitution succeeds reading out of the Democratic party all who do not believe in its Populistic views on the silver question, wlmt will bo (Jte difference between thu Populist mnl Democratic parties and how much will lie left of tbe Democratic party? If a Joint debate is arranged between Mr. Atkinson and Judge Hines, wc will wager a bright, new sliver dollar coined '/a 18114, and which Is maintained on a parity with gold, that tho Judge will wish bo hadn't before Atkinson has spoken an hour. ALL WRONG. ft'Is not easy, apparently, to get nt all the facts of the shooting affray 1n Hancock county, In which the uuiu Gas ton was injured and another negro killed. Enough Is known, however, to mnko It plain that somebody ought to be severely handled by the law. No doubt Gastoa Is n pestiferous fel low. Probably he Is a swindler nnd Ids emigration scheme merely a clonk to a shrewd scheme for fleecing ignorant and gullible members of Iks race. Cow tnlnly ho has Incurred tho enmity of many people and done the community In which he has operated much harm by cxnlfiug ^ntagoumms, cstranglug Ja- Iwrors from their old rclikous ami ex citing In them unreasonable hopo of an Immediate nnd great change for the better In Ibelr condition. Ilut, granting all this to l>c true, the way to get Ad of a pestiferous dema gogue or couildenro nun is not to shoit him. Tbo disregard for law and wit lingnesx to commit crime shown by those who do the shooting will do tho community more harm than a dozen Qastooi can do. There is no good way to get rid of such n character except by apival to the law. If he has not vio lated the law. be ought to be safe at least In hts Ufe, however defective good citizens may think the law. Tho fact that such deeds are commit ted at night Is pretty conclusive proof that the doers of them know’ net only that they are uuktug themselves guilty of a crime but that thu public opinion of the community Is against them. If It was right to shoot Gastiu, or right to drive hhn away—which nuy nav boon the ouly intention of the mob- why was It act done lu the daylight by nu n whom all could sec and km w? Perhaps the Populists propose simply print JtS.WXMlOOffiOO of legal tender fiat money to carry out all their plans. In addition to the mousy al ready In circulation this would give us a per capita of circulation of about 5070. The Populist platform calls for a per capita of circulation of $50-*a high as they thought was safe. They must harp made a mistake somewhere. The trouble with John Temple Graves Is that somebody In nn Ill-advised mo ment spoke of him as tho “successor of Henry Grady." He has done his little best to live up to this but the strugglo has been too great. The Athens Banner, under Its new management, shews marked Improve ment. The Telegraph wishes the young men who are running it tho fullest measure of success. MIttS DAVIS'pUNIEfa^T, Bays,tho Statement In Regard to Her Being lu Favor of Womrm'k Suffrage is False.

"Yen. sir," he continued, "I have been a citizen of Macon several years anil I have never known Bibb county to have a coroner who lived -within a day's Jour ney of the court house or who could be found without several hours' waste of time. Now If you -will Just think ubout It for e moment you will see the great necessity for holding a'n Inquest os quickly as possible over a corpse where one Is at all necessary.

"Now. as I understand It, the Dem ocratic primary to be held on the Sith Instant will be open for candidates for coroner dust the same as though candi dates for 'this 'office had not been voted for In the legislative primary. It will be a Democratic primary and open to all Democrats and I intend to cast my vote for the man who will have an of fice, or at laist a designated place,where he can be found without taking a Jour ney to the country and then perhaps not find him a* home," "You're right, and l'en with you,' said the stroller ns we parted. Richmond, Va„ Sept. 3.- tlio Dis patch will say editorially tomorrow: There Is a newspaper story afloat that Miss Wimi'..- Davis, being In favor of woui.au suffrage, has said that she would vote the Republican •ticket If she had the tight to do so. We have It from tho best authority thfjt this statement Is false In all of lu partic ulars. Indeed, such a monstrous prop osition from one of Mrs. Davis' fam ily would be Impossible. The fact is that Miss 'Winnie Davis it opposed to woman suffrage, but were she ln favor of It she could never eon tom plate join ing a party which has so bitterly re viled her father, to say nothing of Its hostilities to her people. Tho hearts nnd lot of Mrs. Davis and her children tire with the South, and the temerity of the persa I who attempts to put them In nuy other position Is luexpltcable. "Look here.

Immediately after the kite legislative primerf I took under oocMCderatton certain charges made against me on the eve bf the election by W. A. Huff, to-wlt: That as n mem ber of 4he legiria-ture I bud "tampered with the recotda of that body at the lam session by making centnln changes In Macon lu new charter. I deu,in'toed to bave the clurgen in- vestlgaked before tho general eJealfon on Oetobtv S next, anti I consulted legal opinion oud ndvlsed with friends as to the proper method of having the In- vsstigstloti. Their advice was that a Icgislcklvs committee Is the only proper and authorized pan:y to make an In vestigation, Inasmuch no I am charged wtch "tampering" wi'th the legisfottve records while a member of the legisla ture, nnd they ndvlsed me to writs to Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, apetker of the presoat house, of which I am a!»'o a member, and request him to appoint n committee from the house to moke an Immediate Investigation. I wrote such a tenter two weeks fgo, but did not receive an answer fifm Mr. Atkinson until yesterday, owing to his cuhsence from home fulfilling en gagements Incident -to the gubernatorial campaign. He -took the position that he did not have the auuharllty to make tbe appointment of the committee, as the house wa« not tn session, and R alone could give Mm authority to ap point a committee. I was then advised, as my next step, to apply Oo the Board of Public Works, the only remaining body that has che semblance of authority in the matter, ns I am an official of the beard, and auk It lo appoint a cc-mrnltitee of citi zens to make an Immediate Investiga tion. In accordance with this advice I addressed the following oommunlcatlon on yesterday too rite Board of Public Works: Macon, Go., Sept. 4. 1894.—Hon. J. N.

'He held that he has no nuthority too appoint a IdUtKIn committee, as the house of representa tives by resolution would have to give 'him authority, and the house Is not now In session.

Manchester, Sept. 6.—The Guardian, in Us commercial article, Bays: The market during the week has been quiet and dls- nppolntlng with little workable business. Orders for India continue In diminished volume. China has bought light-weight Shirtings very, freely, but the business for South America has been poor. Other markets, Including the United States, are. buying steadily but moderately, and tho borne trade Is In a healthy condition. Manufacturers of India staples arc firm. Heavy goods for China are In poor de mand, but there la some Inquiry for blenching cloths for China and the straits settlements. Common printing cloths are moving moderately. In yarns the move ment Is hardly of the average magnitude, but Individual sellers have made fairly good_ progress; the market Is steady. CENSURED HARCOURT.
