TWO POIdTICAL CONVENTIONS.
The newspapers yesterday morning
reported the proceedings, of political
coaveutlons In two' Southern states
which were of unusual Interest, for the
reason that both marked the beginning
of a division In thoso states In the
ranks of the Democratic party. The
two conventions were alike In that re
spect only. In the motives by tvhleh
they were, controlled they were ns dis
similar as two political meetings could
be. The convention In Louisiana, which
declared the cohesion of tho sugar
planters of that stato to the Republi
can party, was moved purely by «t>itlsh
considerations. It was made up of men
who liml sulTerml ill their pockebi by a
change in the tux laws of tlio country
which curtailed their privilege of tax
ing for tbclr own bcucllt their' follow
dtlheus. They were Without sentiment,
or If not without It they violated It In
ntiumloiilng tbclr allegiance to the par
ty with which they have alllllnted ami
which they kujnv to have rescued thb
state In wblalt they live from the semi-
barbarism of n government controlled
by allied adventurers nml Ignorant no-
grot's. Every sentimeutnl considera
tion was opposed to the course tvhicli
they took, but they were controlled
purely by business considerations. In
their resolutions they declared for tlio
protection of every American Industry,
though they know that tlio greatest of
those Industries cannot lie protected
(Ail Uifit theirs can be protected only
because It la luslgnlflfnnt In proportion
to the peed for their product of tlio
American people.
Tlio oou»Mitlou,of South Carolina dal
not declare for an Immediate division
tat the party. It merely Insisted tlmt
tlio Tilhimii faction, mode up of men
who call thcmselrea Democrats, whoso
lenders are men holding official posi
tions In the Demoerallo party aud
therefore responsible to It, shall when
tlielr convention moots today show by
tlio character of tlio resolutions ndopled
that they are In favor of Demoerallo
political principles mid not opposed to
them. That is to say. It pul tho Tijl-
m,miles on notice that they must bo
Democrats In fact as well ns In name,
or they will have to tight tlio real Dem
ocrats of South Carolina. The Issue in
this case is ono wholly of principle. Thu
meu who head the ucw movement do
not ask for anything for themselves.
They arc willing that Uic spoils of
office should remain \ylth their oppo
nents. They only Insist that the prin
ciples of the pary shall not ho oe-
trayod by men who call themselves
Democrats. They stand for tho most
Important truth In polltlca—that tho
greater worth of a party Is In Its Ideas,
not merely in Its organisation.
Tlio cohesive power of publla plunder
Is very gr»Mt, as tho history of tho Ito-
pulilloau parly shows, Tlio man who
Is in politico for the snko of bis pocket
Is an active and earnest politician, and
he has tho Mlttost support of other meu
who are also In politics for tho sake of
their pockets. For this reason, it Is
probable the sugar planters of Louisi
ana may bo able to elect congressmen
from two or three districts In that state,
but they will not bo able to do more
tluu tlmt -They can make no appeal
to the higher motives olTiieu. Prac
tically they must buy what they got !n
polities, as tu other branches of their
bus-uoM. Tlio South Carolina ease Is
very different. Tlio appeal of the lead
ers of tho new movement Is entirety to
the host, the uuseltlrh side of their fel-
low-ellixons. They sanply ask meu to
be honest In politics aud to bo patri
otic. Possibly they will not bo able lo
effi'ct so close an organisation us tho
sugar planters or to secure the service
of such active workers, but nerertho-
We they have. In our opinion, a gtwtt
advantage over them. That advantage

ANOTHER FRAUDULENT CIIICU-
LAU.
Tho following has been sent to the
Telegraph, with « request that it bo
published:
"The American Banker's Association, 2
Wall street. Now York, Sept. I.-To tho
Bankers of the. United Slates; The fol
lowing circular has appeared during the
last year In a number of newspapers, and
Is now,bring used by politicians chiefly In
the West, South and-southwest ss a cam
paign document. Issued Merck 12, 1803.
by American Bankers' Association (o all
National Banks.
“Dear Sir: Tho Interests of National
hanker* require Immellste flaanclal legis
lation by congress. Silver, silver eerttfl-
.pates nnd treasury note* must be retired,
and national bank note* upon a gold ba
sis made the only money. This will re
quire tho authorization of from 2500,MO,(M
to I1.M0,MO.OOO of new bonds an u basis
of circulation. You will at once retire
one-third of your circulation and till |n
one-half of your loan*. He careful to
irske s money stringency felt among your
patrons, especially among Influential bus
iness men. Advocate an extra session of
congress for the .repeal of the purrbnenx
clause of Ute Sherman law anil act with
the other banka of your city In securing
a large petition to congress for Its un
conditional repeal, as per accompanying
form. Use personal Influence with con
gressmen, nnd particularly let your wlahea
be known to your (senators. The future
life of national tanks, as fixed and safe
Investments, depends upon Immediate no
tion. ss there is on increasing scntlnwntl
In favor of government legal tender notes
nnd silver coinage.
The American Bankers' Association not
only denies the authenticity ,ot the so-
called ’panic bulletin' which bears no sig
nature and |a dated on Sunday, Mach 12,
1823, but pronounces It a malicious and
self-evident falsehood.
"B. H. Pullen,
■iCbalfmae of the Executive Council."
Tills unsigned circular is built upon
tlio game lines that the Unzr-ird circu
lar made familiar years ago, nnd which
also appear in tho alleged extracts from
bankers’ magazines and other such pe
riodicals that have never been seen In
such magazines, nml cannot bo found
III tbolr illes, hut which Populist speak-
era and orators declare wore printed In
them at souid indefinite tlmo in the
past
In tho letter of Mr. Pullen which ap
pears nlrove the circular, us It conics
to us, has tho word “Fraud" stamped
ou its fneo In big roil loiters. But realty
such a stamp was not necessary. Tho
author wrote Into It Just ns plainly,
when ho made the terms of the circular
exactly wlmt tho Popiillst leaders
would have umdo them to bo bad they
been preparing a circular , letter to
hanks with the expectation that It
would fall Into tliea- own Imiiijs. It Is
remarkable wlmt a largo anil succesifful
part fraud ho open us this lias played
In the Populist movement. Tlmt suc
cess is the severest reflection poss.blo
on tho lntelllgeuco of tho inon who
make up tho rank end tile of tho Popu
list party. Apparently it lias only boon
necessary for n shrewd fellow to Invent
a story of wrong-doing by uthors and
thou forge testimony as to the truth of
thin story to ooiuplotoly fool thorn. It
does not mutter If tho testhniniy Is ut
terly Improbable, If not absolutely false
an Its face. All that Is necessary Is
that :t shall ascribe evil motives to cer
tain men and conform in Its features
to tho shrewd fellow's original story.
WORK OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Tho Justices of the supreme court
ha vo Issued a circular, which they ask
the newspapers of Gcurghi to publish,
us follows:
'In reply to Inquiries as to the necessity
(or aildtng two more Justices to ths mi-
pretA bench in Georgia, wo state without
reserve that tho necessity U overwhelm.
Our experience enables us to speak
advisedly on this subject, and we say
to nil voters Unit the constitutions!
amendment ought to bo adopted. It I* n
matter of vital Importance to nil tho peo
ple of this state that It should be done.
Wo know that two mors Justices will
greatly nnd materially aid the court In
disposing of lie business They - can do
ibis In many ways, andi their help will
■nnlce ths work better In every respect.
Tli* number, five. Is not t\» great, othpr
supreme courts have live, others coven,
d some even nine Judges. They, work
harmoniously, and tlielr work la done
more thoroughly than three could possibly
lo It. It we had two more, the present
members of ths bench would work, per
haps, ns long as they do now, but under
less strain, said Irene* they would do the
work better. Intellectual tabor done by
tntsda f.igg *d nnd worn out cannot be of
oest quality. It the people understood
the situation a* wo do. the amendment
woul 1 oeyond all doubt be adopted by a
very largo majority.'
It Is probable that tho opposition
press will make tho publication of tills
Ulat the occasion for tlruounelng the
judges for Interfering in polities. ‘We
hluill regard sueli denunciation, bow-'
over, as very unjust Wo seo In tho
Jrcular uotlilng but a calm, mitluirUa-
:ve statement, by the men best qu-ill-
Hid to kuovv, of tlio facts of tho situa
tion as it exists lu the highest court of

nce In politics, the Issuance of the cir-
ulnr Is nothing more thau the giving
to the people of information which they
ihstlld lm\o In order to veto intelli
gently upon the peuding amendment to

will have the effect upon the minds of

THE STROLLER,
"It will not surprise me If we are
presented with 'the sicken'ng spectacle
of seeing -white and black players In
the oast of cfae drama within the next
few years," slid Billie Armstrong, the
wefl known minstrel nun, a» be ait hi
the Academy of Untie nigh: before
lost and wline**t-J the- display of social
equality among the members of "The
Operator Company. "Yea, sir," he con
tinued, “It Is plain to me chat matters
are drifting Must way and I firmly be-
«*rve thuit way, -and J firmly believe
that wirain a Short while three or four
years sk roost, we -will go to the theatre
nnd see a white woman who to nil out-
teard spperances wig be -a lovely, vir
tuous worn in, 'iv'M In the embrace of
s negro, who will tell her of his love.
I love tho ntage and -have a Mgti re
gard for t>he profession, -and It makes
me sick to see tt dragged Into such
diarepute as (the example we have be
fore us.”
While speaking of negroes tplngling
with white* on the stage, the Stroller
de-sires to say to the patrons of the
ISieaure then he understands that sev
eral other companies are beaded this
waiy that are partly composed of ne
groes, n-nd they oan govern themselves
accordingly, ss 'they are liable -at any
time to witness such another spectacle
as was presented to them Monday
night. The -SiroKcr end trae people of

Fayetteville, Sept. 18.—(Specl-al.)—Judge
S. tt'. Harris Is holding court here this
week.
Hon. C. L. Bartlett expounded some
wholesome Democratic doctrine to a good
crowd In the court house today. He com.
pleteiy downed Tom Watson on his Idea
that the tax Is higher now than In *72
under Bullock, showing that the tax
would be much lower but for the pension
and educational funds.

that If nominated he would not .be likely

he Is too desirous of party success than

THE TAX RATE .
WAS REDUCED
And Is Now Lower Than Ever Before
or ct Least For a Long Num
ber of Years.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MEET
Appropriations For lb* Fiscal Year
Mmlfi-DrCfesifi In Appropriations
For the Court* and Public
fcboolis
The rate of taxation In Bibb county
will he 11.05 per 2100. or J10.60 par 21.000
for the fiscal year.
This Is the lowest rate of taxation
Bibb has had tn yews, and probably
never before.
.The county tax It 21.13 per 21.000 and
the state tax Is 24.37. making a total of
210.60.
'Laat year the state nnd Cbunty tax
was 21.30 per $100. but thla year both
the state and county have lowered the
rate.
The county rate was louvered by the
county commissioners at a meeting held
yesterday morning. The members ot
the board have had the rate of taxation
under Consideration for aom. time and
It -was only after everythin* had been
considered In detail and the closest in
quiry made Into every expenditure that
the commissioners lowered the rate.
Last year, when the rate was raised
from 21.20 to 21.30. there was considera
ble complaint from taxpayers, but the
commissioners were compelled to meet
a deficiency, and In order to do so It
was necessary to lricretse the rate. This
Increase enabled them to .pay off all
debt* and deficiencies and by Judicious
and conservative legislation they now
see their way clear to make the rate
lower than it has ever been, notwith
standing the decrease in the valuation
of nearly $1,500,000. This speaks well
for the commlssibnem and shows that
Bibb county’s Interests are safe In their
keeping and that they are administering
the affairs of the county both intelli
gently and economlcatly.
After the rate of taxation had been
fixed and disposed of the commission
ers mode their a aprprlatlona for county
expenses for the fiscal yeSr, which are
embodied In the following resolutions:
“Whereas, the estimated expenses of
Bibo ccunty for the fiscal year 1394-1805

CAPT. KENAN'S FALL.
An Unfortunate Accllent That Might
Have Been More Serious.
Yesterday morning while seated at the
breakfast table with his family Officer
Frank Moseley was startled by s lou-1
crash In hie parlor.
Thinking some one had trown a large
stone through one of his front windows,
the officer hurried Into the room fron
whencs the noise came, and to his great
oatnnlahsnent. the first thing that met
bla gaze on entering the door was Capt.
O. T. Keenan lying on tbe floor perfectly,
motionless. The officer has seen many
sights Jn that which would oippatl the
stoutest heart in his long voice on the
notice force, but he had seldom seen esie
that caused him more grief than to see
his warm friend, one who he has long es
teemed above all others lying on the
floor, to all appearances dsad. Before
the officer could speak or move towaiv
Capt Kenan, his wife entered the room,
and she. too. was horor stricken and
neither ahe nor her husband tnovel for
several minutes. At last, however, Of
ficer Moseley picked his friend up, and
after a hasty examination found that he
had not been seriously injured.
Of courie it was Capt. Picture that fell
nnd not the captain himself. The picture
is a large lltc-slzc crayon portrait of capt.
Kenan which, together with similar por
traits of Postmaster Price. Mr*. Moseley
and the handsome officer himself adorn
the walls of Officer Moseley's parlor. In
some manner the cord had broken and the
picture, which was In a heavy oak rrome,
fell with a crash. The only damage done
was »fte complete destruction or tne
frame. -
WITH A CRASH
Fell a -Portion of-the New Masonic
Building.
A portion of tho front of tire hand
some iv.-w Masonic building, in course
of ereotlon on Cottanavenue, fell yos-
terdiy morning with a loud crash tbuit
be heard several blocks' awtay and
tilted tbe street with brick and stone
debris. ,., ,
The front of the building, wMch la
composed of brick aud stone, had. Just
been completed -aud the scaffolding hail
not been removed. The workmen were
In the act of -taking down Mie scaffold
ing when the rain began and they
sought shelter Inside the building. In
a few minutes after they left the Bcaf-
fcoding about eight feet of brick and
stone brol a loo^e from the top nnd
fell. Had -they remained 00 the scaf
fold n few mlnutas longer they would
have been crushed. Fortunately no
one was passing we the time and the
only damage done -was to the building
and sidewalk. .
The cause assigned for the work giv
ing away Is that the hard rain of Mon
day night made the wall top .heavy
before tlhe mortar wau dry.
Mrs. Arthur L. Wood an-d daughters,
Mlases Mamie -and Nellie, have re
turned from Mount Airy, where they
have been spending the summer.
