Each ot them Is, in n sense, a local paper—tlmt Is to say, its circulation is largest about lu home. Because of the advantages ot 1U location, /the Constitution has ' practically a monopoly of the morning paper circulation In the Seventh, Ninth nnd Fifth congressional districts. To gether with the Chronicle, it has a mo nopoly of tho Tenth. None of tlio ‘•goldbug bushwhackers" could get Into their Held to disturb Its work ot mak ing the Domocratlc party solid by preaching Populist doctrines. It it be true, therefore, that It Is tho "goldbug bushwhackers” who have cut down the Democratic majority in the state ns a whole, In 'these districts, free from their destructive ravages, the old time majority should bo malnUlned or .Increased. Was HI The election re turns answer this question beat They rsy that the Democratic majority In the Tenth district disappeared entirely and waa succeeded by a Populist ma jority.

In these six districts, where the dis organizing “goldbug bushwhacker*” had full opportunly to do their perfect work, tho figures Indicate that the Democrats bad un aggregate majority of about 24,000—an average of 4,000, as compared with an average of sou in the districts where the “goldbug bushwhackers” could do nothing. ' llESUI.T OF TUB ELECTION. We are not disposed to make any ef fort to conceal our disappointment at tlio result of Wednesday's election in this state. At tbe same time we have no inclination to exaggerate the iin- sportnuce of the falling ofl' in the Dent- oOhatio rote. Wo sec In that falling off no Indication that the party is soon to lose Its control of tbe politics of this state Wo regret tho apparent decline of Democratic strength—'w« think it fur more* tipii.'irelit than real—mainly because It will probably delay tlio pass Ing away of tho Populist delusion. The lessens taught by tho election ought to lie valuable to tho Democratic Icirty. They are numerous, and iter Imps tho flrat Is that tho party is In grunt need of a thorough, closo organ ization that will reach Into every mi litia district of Iho state. Means must be devised of 'bringing out tho full Democratic vote, or the party will soon find Itself in danger of defeat. Tho second lesson is that In politic* you cannot lucrruso tho chances of wlnulng your fight by confessing that your euemy Is right nnd yourself wrong. In several Oeorgia districts this confession has virtually been made by Democratic lenders uud newspapers. They have not expended their energies in fighting the ropullxts so much ns they have lu fighting Democrats and in frantlo efforts to convince all who would listen that on lUo main question of tho day the Populists are right. Tlio result is seen In the disappearance or great reduction of the Democratic ma jorities lu the districts where this pol icy was adopted, lu these districts the attempt fo placate Populists has nat urally resulted lu leadlug Democrats Into tho ropullst camp. The man who Is cduviuced, evcii hy the argument of a Democratic lender, that tho freo coin age of silver at Iho 10 to 1 ratio Is ab solutely essential to tho welfare of tho country almost Inevitably goes Into that camp, because tho Populist parly Is tho only ono which .promises to adopt tlmt financial policy. Tho falling oft lu tho volts oast nnd tho semtehtug of Mr. Atkiuson’s namo were due to tivo causes mainly. Tlio preliminary campaign »vtts a hitter one, and at.iho time of tho election Its bail effts ta upon iho party had not disap peared,. The attacks mado upon tho successful candidate by members of his own party lmil perhaps convinced many men tlmt he was unworthy of tho great ottlco he sought. Tlio chargo mado against him that ho was a mem ber of a ring, unde durtug tbo prelim inary ouupa cn for the_purposo of pro- venting his ii < .filiation, was. In our Judgment, serious In Its effects upon the parly. Ths tactics adopted by tho leaden of a faction to gain a victory taVole tie parly havo eorno measured- bly notr defeating the party I tael. Tho lesson ta that this sort of factional war- tint must unreal ter ho uvoidutl. The duty of Democracy In tbe prem ises I*, plain. Organization and bard work can accompli*!) woiuirrs in poli tics. In these two words arc the key note of success, -not only In politics but In everything else. It Is the duty of the campaign com mittees In every congressional district Id tho state to get together at once trail to perfect plans for organizing their district* perfectly. There Is no time to lose In the matter. In one mouth from today the people of Georgia will lie called upon to choose the men who arc to represent them In Washington la the next congress. The time is none too long for the work which Juis got to be done, aud hence no time should be lost. Georgia has an -overwhelming ma jority who believe In Democratic rule. Through over-confidence she bits per mitted her active enemies to come with in eyesight of victory. Tbe only way in which this error can ho corrected is to get together and make It a matter of business to straw these people that picir cbnnces of success in Georgia are less than nothing. The returns from Bibb county are significant. The Democratic majority here fell off more than &U0 votes. The Populist gains are lnslgnllicuut. With an onllmiritly large rote 111 Macon our majority would not only have been as great us It was two years ago, but would have been greater. The men who were most active In the recent campaign all bear witness to the fact that on all hands they were met by tbe men most interested in good gov ernment with euch Indifference that they would not even contribute their votes to Democratic success. Tho Telegraph urges, with all the earnestness It can, on every Democrat In Georgia to make it Uls business to see that every militia district In the state is organized for the congressional elections. GOT READY FOR NOVEMBER. Ono lesson which will compensate tn some measure for the Democratic losses tn Wednesday's election. Is taught by iho result of die late gubernatorial fight. That is that tn order to main tain undisputed Democratic supremacy lu this state, It Is necessary that tho Democratic party ahould organise strongly and compactly in every coun ty, In every militia district, so that effective work cau be done on election day, aud every Democrat can be brought to the ballot box. Because the Populists were so organ tied aud the Democrats were not, our normal majority waa cut dowu aud many Democratic constituencies wilt bo represented lu the next legislature hy Populists, So far aa tho material results of the elect tea held Wednesday ara concerned, the Democrats have lost nothing- They silll hare complete control of the stato vote*)! all the four districts lu which j government.

PEDAGOGY IN MERCER. To th* Editor of the Telegraph: I know that your reader* are alway* ln- terested tn whatever concern# Mercer University.

IV* bare reached a oolot In education from which It become* apparent that, knowing what to toich Is only halt— only half—the teacher'* equipment. The other half la knowing how to teach, and thla halt can be taught Jtwt aa certainly as the first half. The truatees ot Mercer Universi ty, responding to a reasonable demand that they supply teachers for the peo ple, opened a achool of pedagogy, and Prof. Mantsy was elected to conduct tt.

Even now they are crowded Into the leas desirable school* where the pay la small and the work hard. It waa a step forward. * long way forward, when this school was opened to women. But tt was undoubtedly a mors tn the ‘ tntereet. not of women only, but ot th* ouhllc generally, sev enty-five per cent, of the teacher* in Georgia are women. These need and ought to have every opportunity to be good teachers Mercer lead* In' the good work of preparing teachers, and on a broad policy which exclai m no smrthy xnn. The schoet has opened well. Twenty bare been enrolled uo to date, one lady among [them. I have be mi thinking that there must be a cood many lad'.ra In Macon who might greatly prom by taking the eoursc la pedagogy wjth us. Macon needs prepared teachers. And prepared teachers are certain to stand a better chance for employment than thoae who have n<t_#pecja! preparation. They will do better work and receive better pay. We expect to help schools to teachers whom we ban recommend in good conscience. There is another point worth stating. There are many Intelligent women In Macon, thanks to Wesleyan and other schools. Many of these ladles have the time to study. It is a serious mistake for a young woman do give up study, a mistake from every consideration. Pedagogy la a beautiful study and highly educating. The whole structure l« built up on psychology, one of the noolites and most educating studies known to the schaole.
