KU STATES.
It appears that iulereat In the peril
ing context for the United States sena-
torshlp is not eenUnetl to (icorgla
. iilone. We hiivo been, told, ns coming
from it gentleman of decided promi
nence In political circles. Unit a very
lively interest Is In-lug taken in the
pending senatorial race by leading men
in the neighboring suites. It appears
that tills gentleman was recently on a
visit North und siicnt some days In
Washington during the recent convo
cation lu that city nt tile Knights of
Pythias from all parts of the United
Stales, lie reports that in conversa
tion with gentlemen tram Alabama,
Mouth Carolina, Tenuessoo und other
stutes, gathered together oil that been-
klou, he found thut the contest lor the
nenutonddp was attracting great atten
tion, and thut very anxious interest
was felt as to Its final outcome, liut
what 1s tb us, and will Ini to the entire
community, the most gratifying part of
this matter, Is that tills same gentleman
reports Unit he found, with scarcely an
exception, that the feeling mnoug those
who were taking interest in our sena
torial race was most decidedly iu favor
of our distinguished fellow-townamnu,
MnJ. Uncou. And what must tie even
more gratifying Is the .(act that this
sentiment seemed to ho bused entirely
upon the opinion that he was in every
respect the one man Above nil others
who wss most Admirably equipped for
Uisehsrglug Ute duties of this great
office. As It is reported to us, the sen-.
ttuient appeared to bo that in MnJ. Ba
con the entire South would havo a rep
resentative In ttic seuato equal to every
emergency mu) quiilllinl In every re
spect to speak fur this sis'Uoa ot the
Union upon every subject lu which its
Interests may be Involved.
Wo know already thut MaJ. Bacon's
reptilatloh was uot ceniliieil to tho lim
its of his own stale, but, uevertbeleox,
WO are highly KrutlUod at this recognl-
ll"n of his brilliant abilities from cili-
steuj of ueigtdiurlug states. It Is ouly
n just Iribute lu the mull. Once in tho
buuuto of the United Mtates, he will
justify all tho claims of Ills warmest
friends, and util tnnko a senator if
whom the entire Mouth tuny well bn
proud.
A DIPIItUeIUA .OUltE.
'The latest dlststvery by the famous
Ur. Koch of Rerlln seems to lie much
more useful ibuu the cnuccr cure with
which a few years ago he excited the
hope of Urn world that the mast terrible
of tllsoaxcs to the liid.vnin.il s'lfTeivr
lmtl at last bcou mastered. It Is a euro
for diphtheria. lie has discovered tint
by Uioeulatiou with the virus of that
disease a calf may be rendered entirely
proof against It. Iu tbu blood of the

ipulliy tlmt tights against tho virus

harmless. The serum of the blood of
such an oniuml is Ur. Koch’s remedy
for diphtheria.
Abroad It Is receiving the ludorso-
ineut of all physicians who have ex
perimented with It, aud lit thut country
—lu New York atul Brooklyn- the re
sults of experiments seem te be con
clusive lu Its favor. So thoroughly
convinced 1) the health officer of New
York, Ur. Kdsou, that ho has worn-
mended uu appropriation by the city
government of 130,000 for supplies of
tho new remedy and the expense of np-

DEMOCRATIC PRINCIPLE,
Cuugrmmmn Clarke of Alabama says
“the coinage 6( silver at a certain ratio
Is not a principle of the Democratic
party, hat a policy The principle lies
la the pledge of the Democracy to ki.-yl*
both metals on a parity. If this ton
be doue by the five nod nulimbed coin-
age of silver at a ratio of 10 to 1, or 20
iu 1, or any other ratio, then It will be
done. If it cannot lie maintained on a
purity with gold, except by stoppng its
coinage, then that will Iks done, and
lias been done. Tlie Democratic party
can be safely trusted with regulating
the monetary system of the country.
It wllUdu the proper thing at iho
proper Uhie and in tbu proper manner.”
This la u true s'UVetuoiit ol the ease.
No Democratic umvHpnpor can advo-
rate the five coinage of silver at any
ratio which will net. Insure the parity
of the nioUH}’ thus created with all
other kluds of nionuy Without ignoring
the Democratic pnuccpie that all money
Issued by the government must be
sound money. Silver dollars not worth
us much intrinsically ns gold dollais
•ire not sound money unless exchange
able for the latter. But wli.lo It is true
that it is a Democratic principle to In
sist upon fbo parity of all mousy issued
by the government, it la alro Halo that
tho Democratic party has always been
iu favor of bimetallism:. There arc
almost no Democrats who are mono
metallism, unless it bn true that many
of those who am Ins sting upon the
free coinage of silver without regard to
purity ure at heart Hllver monometal
lism. Those who denounce as “gold-
bugs” the Democrats who ln*.st upon
parity as well as free coinage are open
to tills susplejon,
TUB MINOItlTY’H RIGHTS.
The Memphis Commercial, comment
ing on the terrible butchery pf negroes
which recently occurred ncnr’tliat city,
says truly that “we cannot shirk tho
duty wo owe to the coliy-ed race. Let
us say that It Is tho yh>tc man’s right
to rule this Country; but it Is Ills duty
to rulo It accordtug to law nud with full
reaped for fho God-given rights of the
humblest creature under Ills dominion.'
The white man's right to'rule disap
pears, ceases to exist, when he fails to
give the best government of which he
is capable, or when be takes advantage
of his opportunity to wrong and op
press. It Is a right, under the law, of
tho majority to rule, but the right to
rule does not include the right to de
prive' the minority of any privilege or
advantage which the members of the
majority themselves enjoy. Tim ^IghA
of tho minority are Just ns sacred as
those of the majority. If this fact were
ignored—If the majority treated the
minority ns conquered enemies-govern
ment liy the people would bo impossi
ble. Tito rapacity of those In power
would soon make the people glad to
have the firm rale of,a tyrant, tent they
might be protected against themselves.
Tho white tnnn, In arrogatlug to him
self .the right to rule, assumes the re
sponsibilities as well ns the powers of
tlm majority. He is bound lit good
morals, as well as In tho Interest of his
own government, to protect the negro
In tho cujoyment of his rights under
the law, Just ns he would the rlgUts of
a white minority. If he falls In tills
duty there will ensue a rapid process
of demoralisation, from which ho will
suffer Just as much as tbo wronged ne
gro. ji ‘
The editor of tbo 'Social Economist,
who It also the head of it “school of
economic*,” Is lu deaptur because he
fears that tho hard thuya which ho la
sure the new tariff 'wlli produce will
uot prevent further reductions of the
tariff. “In 1S37," he says, "After ’threo
years of hard times due to tariff reduc
tion, congress passed au net still fur
ther reducing tho tariff,” and ho fears
that Uio people. Incapable of being
taught by object lessons, will permit
history to repeat Itself. It must be ad
mitted tl;at this mnu’s condition Is nn
unhappy one.

the Democratic parky and -dhe Populist
party (bdtter known nt third party).
The third party la -trying to work all

scheme, but tt -would ndt worn. The
colored people refused ko be sold by
their leader* in (bait way. They thought
they carried rhe colored people to vnrir

scheme, but it fulled. The Populist

'and more so to the Democratic candi
date for governor. W. Y. Atkinson.
Judge Hines re-prasenta the rag-tag and
bob-call of -the rough arid tough ele
ments 'that have sloughed off from De
mocracy.
The nier, who have lynched the col

robbed 'the colored people, the men
who precipitated the Oamriln riot years
ago—-they are now foKmvers of the
third party. When we are compelled

My friends, when you consider the
many wild schemes of the third party—
their 2 per cent, per annum loans to laud
ownersttho eubtreasury schme; the confis
cation of railroads, telegraphs and tele
phones; the complete overthrow of our
llnenclal system and the Issue of shin-
plasters and flat money in stead—their
general jtan, It seem*, te to wreck and
ruin. If such a party should be success
ful tn October, or even poll a good vote,
the credit of the state would be Injured
beyond redemption -our state bonds would
not sell lor 75 cents on the dollar, and the
business world would regard Georgia us
a state to be shuned. as much so as ;t
yellow fever, cholera end small-pox were
really here.
My friends, hold ap the honor nnd
credit of your native state by holding up
snd strengthening the Democratic party.
I have no patience with calamity howlers,
and the third party is on uncanny crew,
who defame Georgia when they tell their
tales of woe about the alleged oppression
nnd poverty of Georgia Mr. Hines may
be. a very nice gentleman, and so may
be' his misguided followers und- associ
ates be gentlemen, but he will find that
no great party can exist with soreheads.
They must have some great and enduring
principle on which to appeal to the rea
son. conscience and patriotism of the
American people, and not merely upen
hard times and cotton at 5 emits rer
pound—the spirit, the forces and the In
fluence behind the third party that pro
pels It.
My friends, stand by ton Democratic
party. It baa the highest principles ot
any. I apeak to you for the same reason
that would movo me to speak In your
presence upon any question tnat Involve*
your personal. Individual and general wet-
fare. . ,
I would not assume that 1 am In the
pretence of a people unrearonably dlotor-

rect your attention to the fact that the
Democratic party Is surrounded by clr-
cumstances ot such character as would
Inspl-o us with the warmest i-.ope that
better times are lying just ahead ot us.
Divine providence has been emtltng upon
the state ot Georgia. Tho Democratic
rorty of the South are a thrifty people
and there Is but little dlrsatlsf.tctlon
throughout the state. . J
My colored frtenda of Georgia, stand by
the Democratic party. They have given
von all that you possess, amt have given
you a high cdsiw of free schools, an-1 the
third party offer to you no schools what
ever. AU they want la your vote, and.
If aucb a party rule* thin government,
the shackles of slavery would not he too

GOVERNOR CARR WORRIED,
And Through the Associated Preae-SeU
. Himself Right Before the World.
Raleigh, N. C.. Sent. 9,-Gxvernor
Elina Oarr hut been a little vexed la»»'v
by wiiait he thlnas the unjust critic.hou
of many Northern papers upon his
couree In the cant of Bob Malkins, col-
orde, who waa lately In danger o{ being
lynched for the rape of a little -while
girl in AtLW.lc county. '
The governor called a apeclal session
beca-use he say* that he is on the *1 *
of law. und askei If the papers don't like
it wnat -thev would have done, ine
gavemoc propone* a remedy for lynch
ing In the South. This M part of an
Interview, which was rn-ther In the
ehaoo 'of a conversation With Mr. i\. b.
Christian, u well known newspaper
man. than nn interview, as the gover
nor Is averse to interviews:
■Tt was on Julv i that the court was
called, was It not governor?"
'The c'.urt w-ja called g>n June 4, to
be held July 9.”
“Then the negro wae captured on
June 4?” *
"Yes. sir." ' -
"Then It was n iponth, or over, before
they tried him?" .
"Yea, sir. more than a month."
“Then he was han-red two weeks af
ter court adjourned?"
“One month alter tils sentence.”
"Did he apply for pardon at all?"
"JVo, sir; no application for pardon
was made." v
"Of course you have read all the
comment lr. the Northern paper* on
lynching in the South-, Joel Chandler
Harris wrote quite a paper In the Fo-
turn, about It?”
"I 1 did not read tt. but I heard It spok
en of."
"What do you think will be the ultt-
mi-te remedy that we will have to nave
In the South as to rape between tne
racesf"
"I think we are having the remedy
now. sir. In having as speedy a trial
poe-stble. I would suggest that tt would
be -advisable to confine these ripiats In
tho penitentiary at once, as soon as
they are arrested, nntll a court bf Jus
tice can be held and give them a fair
trial. That would put them beyond the
reach of lynchers."
"Yet, bv -what law can they get at
that?"
“Wall, we can have some special leg
islation. but the law -will provide for
that. I -would not hesitate at all to
permit the raptetn to be taken out tb
the ipen-ie-nttary. but I would suggest as
a remedv, that some legal a-ctlon bo
taken in reward to this by the next leg
islature."
“You believe that that would do
away hereaf ter with all the lynching*?"
"No. air: 1 -do -not I can’t say that,
but I sov it would be a step In the
right direction -to protect the man’s life
from lymctvlnws If he te put In .the peni
tentiary right awfly, or as soon as pos
sible. and given a speedy trial."
"It Is exceedingly fortunate for the
white women of our country -that these
men tha>t are rapists do nut read the
Northern papers, or they -would mistake
the conduct of the papers as Indorsing
thrtr course.",
“There are -t-wo classes of white peo
ple In the Sooth, governor, tt seems to
me. Bishop -Haywood took n aland
against lynching out and out nnd Joel
Chandler iHavrls said that there was a
class of people in the South who were
In favor of it. I suppose you would
stand bv the law cart and out ng-alnat
lynching?’’
“I would stand by the law out a-nd out
against lynching. I want -to do nothing
that will conflict with the laws.”
