TONNHIHT'3 BPB.VKIXG.
It has been it long timu since the
people of Mfloun had Midi an opportu-
Oily iih that which will bn afforded
them tonlitbt. Secretary Smith and
Mr. Atkinson tire both very Stung men,
nnd the foremost leader* In lid* aiffto,
of tbo young and nggress've Democ
racy to which tJotrgla must lmtncdl-
ntely look for nafety mid good govern
ment.
■Mr. Smith apeak* for till national
Democracy, a* repwwulotl in tho ex
ecutive branch o( the government, and
t'rlngu a message which every Demo
crat should be eager to bear. He stand*
for the policies which wo iimlcrstnnd
to mean party unity and national proa-
jierily. Thera 1* no mail In tloorgla
who o<|Kiiind« niul defoudn these ivoll-
clea with greater force or more con
vincing 'urgtimt-iit than Mr. Smith, llo
speak* from the firm conviction of tlio
tnilli anti wisdom of 111* cause Ihut
give* power to the spanker.
During the preUnmuny campaign.
Mr. Atkinson spoke twice in Macon,
and onr citizens* know hi* quality a* a
political fighter. Ho ha* few equal* cn
the stump. On •!>'* occasion, however,
Mr. Atkinson will speak for the party
and not for ltimself. Ill* speech**
made alneo hla tutiutaatloii *Uow that
he has been aide to rise to the level of
Id* «renter opportunity. They are wor
thy of the candidate of tho parly In
matter and manner.
These distinguished gentlemen are
entitled to a cordial welcome and re
spectful hearing In Macon. Onr eltl-
steu* should turn out uu mttnao to meet
them tonight at Hie Wndley monument.
A small audience, even though there
are powerful counter ntlrae.thins, will
l«> dlsiredllublo to tho city.
Wo bop> every Democrat In the City
will bo present, for 111* own profit nnd
entertainment, but also for the .credit
of the city.
Till’. REASON WHY.’"
Among thq bill* Introduced by tho
Western Populist* In : m.arena was uno
providing that the government nssu-.m-
tile mortgage* on fann* and allow tho
mortgagors twouty year* tn which to
pay up, charging in tho inenuilmo 1
per cent. Interval on tuo loan. It ha*
Is-on estimated that moro than ten bll-
llou* of dollars would lie required to
carry this law Into effect.
Ttiere Is no doubt but that It would
lie u pleasant thlug for tho farmers of
tho iv.untry to have their debt* paid
by Uncle Sam. In fact it 1* safe to as
sume that then- aro few of u» In any
of the walks of life who would object
to the government, assuming >mr debts,
giving ua twenty years lu which to re
pay tho money, with an tnto-est charge
of only 1 pee cent, per anuum.
It muat be remembered, however, that
.those billion* of dollar* b.tTe got t<>
be paid by taxation, niul tho taxes are
to bo levied without reference to the
amount owed.
A few figure* tnken from the census
report* may not bo unluterratiug to
tho people of Georgia in this Connec
tion. According to tho census report*
on this subject, which are approximate
ly correct, the average por capita of
mortgage indebtedness lu the United
Stati-s I* ftML The per capita of mart-
g.tgi> drht in Cteorstv la $15. In other
words, the people of Georgia would bo
taxed $*H1 apiece to carry out oa*
scheme, while they would nwtre of
tho amount raised only $15. Does this
strike tho ettturns of Georgia as a good
Investment? ......
‘Examine the figure* further and we
get this result, comparing the thirteen
Southern state* with thirteen Western
states in which the Populists are
strong:
MORTGAGE lNnunTEDNKSS PER
CAPITA OF POPULATION.

Alabama. XM: Wret Ylrctnta. (31; Ken

|Ut; Wyoming. tv:. Oregon, til, Wisconsin,
H3, Menbuia, W. Nevada, Mi; Idaho. 133,
Average for thirteen Western state*,
3103.33.
This show* that the averagn mortgage
Jadobtedncs* la the thirteen Western
state* In which tbo Populists arc strong
est, tlic only section of the country lu
which they are strong enough lo'oleet
representatives In congress, United
State* Lena tore or guveruoia, is nearly
four time* as grf.it as it Is in the South
ern states. •
This hill would be a mighty good
thing for the people In the Went, who
would get $li*l for every $1*1 they paid
In taxes, but where would the Southern
people he benefited when they would
get hack only $22 for every $IK> they
paid? Doesn't that sir.he our Southern
Populists a» a one-sided'arrangement?
If the figure* for Colpratlg, *olldly
Populist, are compared with those for
Georgia' the contrast Is striking. The
mortgage indebtedness of Colorado is
nearly fourteen times greater tlura that
of Georgia. Kansas pefiriy twelve times
as great and Nebraska more than eight
times tut great. All these 4rc Populist
state*.
Of course there le not' the remotest
probability Hint this megnire will evi-r
lieemne a law, but it indicates what
kind of relief the farmers of Georgia
huve to expect from the Populist party
should It by tiny freak of fortune suc
ceed in getting control of the govern
ment.
What Is true of the mortgage bill I*
true of about every measure proposed
by the Populists In congress. Tbo
Southern people are to pay tlielr full
alinre of the taxes, while four-fifths of
the money le to go to the West.
The following paragraph front the
Swalnsboro Pine Forest is of similar
Import to others lu various papers In
souUt Georgia;
“Dill Kemp and 111* lieutenants have
adopted tho plan ot "swearing In” the
colored people to support tho third party.
They swore In a crowd In the Uftleth dis
trict a Tew nights ago nnd there told
thorn that it would ho perjury to vote for
a Democrat."
Our Populist fricud* may think It is
good politics to organize tho negroes lu
the'black belt Into secret oath-bound
societies, but if they arc no: careful
It will not lie many day* .before they
may find they lmvc created a Frank-
ct-steln, who will create havoc in
Georgia.
Tho Georgia editor ncems disposed to
give a warm welcome to tile British
lynching Investigating committee If It
klmuld come to this section, itoally It
Is a piece of Insufferable Impertlnenco
for this committee to come to tills coun
try on such an errand. Wo hnvo
rocked along for nearly a century and
a quarter without the aid of Great Brit
ain, nnd If they don’t llko our way of
runniug things on the ntliir side of tbo
water, wo ore sorry but wo can’t help
It. - ,
The Telegraph hopes that the nnthor-
tlcs In Bibb couuty will see their way
clear to allow tlic Pqpullsts a repre
sentation on the election beard. It will
not make a difference of a vote in the
county and will put an effectual quietus
on till* eternal cry of fraud after tho
election. The Democrats can carry
Bibb by 3,500 majority If ovoijy Demo
crat In tho oounty does Ills; duly ns
easily with a Populist m every pulling
plnrc ns it cau without.
lloit. Jerry Hollis of Bibb county has
n-unonnecd ltimself as a candidate' for
tho position of principal keeper of tho
penitentiary. There are few men in
Gcargtn, not In public life, .who have
n widef circle of acquaintance* than
Mr. IIollls, or who Is more universally
liked. Should Governor Atkinson sco
his way clretr to nppoint 5!c. IIollls,,It
would be gratifying to hi* many friends,
uud the office would bo filled to tbo eat-
Isfactlou of the people of {be state.
The Louisiana sugar planters are mad
bemuse tho govormneut won’t ’give
thorn 3 cent* a pound bounty on their
sugar, Why should they be nay moro
cuutlcd to a bouuty than tho Georgia
cotton farmers? Ttiyre Is a* much profit
In sugar raising without the bounty a*
there Is lu cotton raising. If not It will
he nn easy matter for tho l-oulslana
uu'ii to plant their vane land* In cotton.
The State press Is practically unani
mous in favor of tho Increase In the
number of supreme court Judges. There
Should lie no question ot the adoption
of the constitutional amendment pro
viding for this Increase. It U a matter
of prime necessity.
With Hoke Smith nnd W. Y. Atkin
son to speak together lu Maron Mon
day night, a genuine Democratic re
vival Is a foregone conclusion, arid
those who congregate about tho Wad-
ley monument will bo amply repaid.
How much of that $2,500,000,000
which the Populists propose to give tn
pensions to Unhm soldiers would Geor
gia pay and how murh would olio get
lurk? Will some Populist authority
please answer?
Don’t fall to pay your taxes this
week. The payment of last year’s
taxes is a pre-requisite to voting, and
every good elttxeo of Georgia owes It to
himself and to the stats to vote on Oc
tober 8.

BUDGET OF NEWS
i FROM GERMANY
(Continued from page l.)
I hope (or i» ♦«© be able to exterminate
the sympathies at my German country
men with the , (Cries of hnvo!)
'The present aspirations of the roles are
only the aspirations of the rollsb nobil
ity—merely das# aspiration*. If once we
should attempt the offensive It would a

ly wuy. of ll*e Pollen nobility.
"Vour Danttl* would be the iirst bit
wanted by a great Poland lu Warsaw.
They would not hurry about Posen, for
that they know Is quite safe, the arch-
biohop being tbeir friend.**
Bismarck, at so ire length, recalled the
history ot West Hus-ris, telling bow It
became Polish ind how it was wrestled
from the Poles.
"They connot complain,” he Said, "for
we gained by owonJ what ibe Poles had
taken by the sword. Since 1813 it has been
oura, and our hope for several centuries
to come, it will **moln oura. I am today
confident that It will, since I have road
the emperbr’a speech delivered at Ko-
Mgsberft and Thorn, Jhe text of which
doubtless the telegraph has told you,
(Great cheerlnf.)
"Thanks to the harmony between offi
cial and national feeling, the Polish ques
tion Is no longer a source of danger. The
press has lately been much occupied about
the kaiser's expression in regard to the
possibility of the nobility opposing the
emperor. We ought not to seek to dam
age or hurt our opponents In the press,
but we ought to try and convince them by
argument. When Irefar to opponents, I
only have In view men who are loyal to
their king. With disloyal men X do not
deal. Tho emperor's appeal against rev
olutionary parties UU my heart good, but
I think the kaiser included the Polish
nobility w£o are also a revolutionary par-
‘However, now 1 am confident that we
xhall be able »o light with a firm hand

all unite with the emperor und the fed

If the reed shall arise, God gmnt that

who will counsel nnd . guide him In the
sense of his own Imperial speech. Long

live the kaleerl'
At the conclusion of the -x-chancellor’*
speech there waa.a tremendous chorus ot
"hoh*” and repeated cheer* for t-rlnco
igsnurck and the kaiser. Thu bands then
played.
Prince Bismarck drank a glass of cham
pagne end Frau von Oerkich read a poem
to Princes* Mzmau-k, wl;o replied that
she was deeply moved by these signs of
attachment. A lady Irom Jllrsliau read
an address and a Danrxelg lady recited
a poem, concluding which she handed to
Prince Bismarck a huge bouquet of roocs.
Prince Bismarck cmght the lady In hla
*nn* and kissed ner heavily on both
cheeks and on the mouth.* This act elic
ited a storm’of cheers, and then the bands
showed their appreciation of It by plaMng
lively airs. Councillor von Gcrlach made
a special address. In which he rererred to
the present* brought to Prince Bismarck
by the Posen delegation. The west Prus
sians, he said, had also brought their
best processions—their wives and daugh
ters.
Prince Bismarck, by way of reply to this
address, kissed several of the wives and
daughters. This was a signal for a gen
eral advance of ladles eager to be kissed
by the ex-chancctlor, and Dr. Schwennlng-
er was obliged to stop forward- and dis
suade them from ihelr purpose, i’rlnce Bis
marck then raid: "Ladles, don’t think
that you West Pruseiona have a monop
oly of good husbands. We I’ommeran’ans
are the same a* the West Prussians, we*
submit to the tender yoke' ot our house-
wives."
The assemblage marched array at 1:%
p. m., after taking refreshments at the
now Inn, "Zum Alton Kurs." As the pro
cession moved away, the rain again began
falling, but the »torm was not nearly so
violent ns during the march to the eastlc.
After the prince's speech Councllllr von
GerlAch ban-led Princess Bismarck nn lllu
minuted address, amt the ladles presented
her with bouquets.- The procession then
passed In revlow before Prince Bismarck,

pealing “Ich Bln Eln Preuss.”
Bismarck's chief ranger supplied the
visitors with warm drinks, sandwiches
nnd milk. Tlie. veather Improved during

‘MUnneiaipolls ,Mlnn„ Sept. 23.—Re
ports of 'She dtestruotlon wrought by
Friday night’s cyclone Indicate than
the loss of life will be in, the neighbor-
'hlxtd of 75, while 'the injured will num
ber several times as many. Same of
those hury are expected to die and It
Is nrit unlikely ttonx fully 100 will be
numbered in the list of the pyefone’e
fury. The property loss Is very heavy
and It Is almost impossible at Uhls time
to Obtain anything more khan rough
esilma'ies of '.he damage done.
As Indicated In list rrfgWfs dfs-
ro'tches. 'the stonm originated near Era-
metsburg, Ha., and ptoesed east end
noi'-'h to northern Iowa and Southern
Minnesota, finally passing over irito
Wisconsin. No reports -of serious dam
age have b’een received from this sec
tion nnd the fury of the elements seems
to -have been-spent with 'the destruc
tion of Spring Valley. Here four per
sons are dead. Some severely hurt,
While Uhe property loss Is eUitmUlted ot
385.000,000, the residence portion of We
-town lying directly in 'the path of the
cydlone.
At Leroy, lying Southwest, four are
dead vJnd several fatally Injured. The
destruction of property amounlts to
about 375,000. It wus a heavy blow to
the village, for Its chief business houses
lie in ruins. Five miles north of Osage.
Ia., six persons were killed nnd a large
number were hurt. The destruction of
firm property Is quite heavy, but no
eskimuites have been made. East, ult
Lowther, a town of about 100 souls, on
'the Chicago and Great Western, three
persons were fatally hurt and the Whole
country for unties around laid In ruins.
The loss in this vtotntty will probably
be not far from 3100,300. Flf.een miles
north of Mason City, far., four persons
were kCled outright land us many more
probably fatally hurt. While all 'the
buildings struck are -total wrecks, the
lass being in the neighborhood bf
350,000.
West of Marion Ky, near Bre'tt, two
persons were killed outright, while
north of this town Some six lost their
-lives. Three miles north of Wesley.
Kossuth county, J. Blnham'o house
was overturned and eoustit fire. The
Inmates toa'd a- narrow escape. _ The
-killed tn this .vkclnhy -are: M. Castle
and wife. J. W. dngman, Mr. Tweed,
mother of fitoomUu Tweed; two children
of Thomas TweeU. M. Sehtveppe an
two children. Fred French' and two
Children, Infant of -Mr. and Mr?. Eden
and Mr. end Mrs. Rock-aw.
North of Algomi seems to have been
the scone of -the greatest harvest of
death, -more person* being killed than
In any other one county throughout
the tornado’s path. Nineteen funerals
wore held at Algdna 'today. •
North of Emme'csburg, wtoioh seems
tb Have been the point Where the cy
clone first assumed dangerous propor
tions, mvo lives were crushed but. From
here Uhe deadly storm went tearing
across the country, demolishing every-
,thine -in its path. FY>r 'the most port of
Its course nt traveled through a farm
ing district, Leroy and Spring Valley
Minn., bring-the only -two towns of any
consequence thlxt .were damaged, but
even here the deaths were compare-
tlvely few. The fact thalt the storm
went through a portion of Spring Val
ley rmd a groat mvny residents were
greater -portion of the residents were
nut -aware of its Work otdericruotlon un
til the fire bells -were rung shows whit
a n-Yirmnr strip Of COUlRTf *WftS BWtfl!.
As -the storm traveled through the
country and asotded villages nod-owns
the property loss is largely confined
to farm buildings and these belngbnd-
