NO CIIIOOK FROBABI.K,
In IRIfl n Democnillo congress pasted
n tariff bill which Inis over slnco been
known ns the Walker free irado tariff
law. lu the elections two years after
wards the Democratic parly was beaten
und the Whigs gamed control of the
government. But though they had
hern ns strongly for piulott'ot as Ho-
publicans' have sinoe been, they did
not cluinge ibo Walker mrlff law, They
Jet it strictly alone, nt liv.it time and
afterwards, and hut for the coining on
of the great civil war, poss.bly the
tariff question would have romvlrcd
nettled, even until this time. It Is in-
Mructlve lo recall It ’this connection
the Democrats have not been In power
In Georgia during the last twariy-flve
yearn, but now depend upon the ne
groes to put rhem In power. One of
Ihc charges brought by the Populists
against Che DnAtcrats is that the ne
groes have been disfranchised, yet
here we see them urging the negroes
to preserve their precious right to vote,
which they nay has not existed, by vot
ing the third party ticket, me two
statements do not consist very well.
Other wire, the circular Is a itsther
shrewd appeal to the prejudices and
lo the ignorance of the colored people.
But It is perhaps as well to point out
the fact that tbs Populist platform,
and the Populist platform only, de
mands Urn enactment of an election
law that will set up «n educational
teat for the voter—demands the Aus
tralian law, In Its original purity.
There Is • certain value, however, to
Democrats In a circular of this kind.
They Show that the men who ore try
ing to break down the Democratic
party in the South aye willing,to go
as great lengths in their efforts as did
the carpet-buggers of roojnstruction
days In their efforts to control .the
political power of the negroes. They
know, of course, that the party which
controls the votes of the negroes muij
In turn be controlled by the negroes.
Under our system of government this
reciprocity of Influence Is Inevitable.
No government can bs permanently
better or worse than the people who
make ft and uphold It. The govern
ment of a party which Is mainly made
up of negroes will be gu intelligence,
virtue and public spirit Just such a
government as the negroes desire.
They know this, tbs third party lead
ers, we mean; but belWe ‘the Inevitable
result Is attained they no doubt hope
to have feathered their own individual
nests. Or, possibly, they are perfectly
wilting to be the administrators of the
kind of government the negroes would
give the state.
( no room in it.
Wo have no doubt tbut most of ibo
people who aru clamoring for tbe free

THE SBSATORSHiP.
Tho friends of Judge Turner nro con
fident that he is strong In the senato
rial race. But Dio friends of MaJ. Ba
con nro equally sanguine that he will
war the laurel. There Is no doubt ot
tho fact that Georgians by a large ma-
r ty are anxious to see MaJ. Baoon
the senate. This fact will have
much to do with Ills election in case ol
anything like a tie. The major Is the
peer of any Georgian for tlio plate,
and deserves somo honors nt tho hands
of hla native state. We believe Ills
friends nro determined to plead tils
cause to the bitter end.—Telfair En

nnd his speeches prove him to lie the

election.—Ilouston Homo Journal.

A Negro’s Hard Fight 'With a Big
Ohoacharhlp.
Jeff Wood, a colored man* living near
brick mill on Silver creek, walked In
to hi* cotton field a few days ago ainl
saw a large snake lying la the row.
Hts first idea waa to find a rock with
whleh to kill It. tjut finding none, he
turned toward the snake, which was
boMtng his head up three feet from the
ground, nnd turned directly towards
Wood. He Biarted towards the snake
and It started towards him, they met
and the snake colled ,himself nround
Wood’s legs, but -he being a- heavy built
mnn, got his foot cut nnd stamped the
reptile. A few good stamps caused his
snakeshlp to retire, but Wood was not
done with it; he ran after It nnd the
snake turned on him In the same way.
Wood got the best of It this time and
with n few well aimed stamps, laid
him out. The snake was of the variety
generally called the i-oachwhlp, and Is
supposed -to use Ills tall as a wMp after
getting a person safe in Its colls—but
that Is nil a mistake. Us intention Is
to Injure by contracting Its coils, and
with Its muscular power oan crush the
life out of .n small nnlmar. It has
small teeth, but no potoonotis fangs.
This snake evidently belongs to the
family af bon constrictors of South
America, where they grow fifteen to
twenty feet In length, but hi our lati
tude and climate, they never grow
longer than seven or eight feet.—Romo
Tribune.
A GOOD STEAM ENGINE 100 YEARS
OLD.
A few years ago an. old beam engine,
built by James Watt, which had been
doing regular dully work for 102 years,
was tnkeu down and replaced by a
modern engine. The engine was. orig
inally a 35 horse-power engine, and
was erected in 1785. In 1705 some alter
ations were made to enable it to work
to 70 horse-power. It had a 2t-lnch
cylinder, a. G-floot stroke and sun-and-
plonet motion. It worked nt 22 1-2 rev
olutions, or 270 feet of piston speed par
minute. In 1875 tt was tested by Mr.
M. jLongbrldge, when, with a steam
pressure of five pounds per square ineli
It indicated 48.72 horse-power, with an
