By efficient, WO mean a ballot law which will raiso the Rbutdard of Intelligence necessary to do ft voter and Insure perfectly fair elect.ona. The failure to paag *uib a reform lew will be a serious mletuko been arc he people expect uucli a re- form and will rraant a failure to bring It about That la tie political retson. It would aleo be a mistake beeauso If our election* »ite not purified, If the standard of Intelligence is not raised, it will ebon oome to pas* that decent, self-respecting men will refuse to take any part In elections, aiul the govern ment will be turned over lo the cen tre. of the worst, most corrupt cle ment* in the community. It ]* proha- blv briio that the Topullst party will cut little or no figure in national pdll- tlcs hereafter. The elections of lust Tuesday not- only dealt tho Oemocratto party a staggering blow, but they passed a popular verdict on the flat money and free silver flnanelnl theo ries of the Popuhstio school of tinan- dors that Is likely to damp tho ardor of the politicians who have been try ing to get Into office by preaoblng those thcor.es. But tins does not mean that the white men In Georgia who have strayed Off from the Domocratio patty will Immediately oomo tiaok. They nre wot apt to do anything of tho kind, V Bn 'l there Is no telling where they will go. To ns It seems practically certnln, that the dlvlalon, onoe made, will he a permanent one. and It la In view uf this dlvlalon that ballot reform he- oomes ubnolntely myossary. drill- zntlon itself could hardly survive a generation of tho degrading Influences which will he brought to bear upon tbe people of this state If Jt come about that the white people, cagtt It* their hatred of each other, to win par tlsm vlctor.es, appeal to tho mass of black Ignorance to decide all political questions—making that appeal In thT worst and most corrupt way. In Massachusetts, the Australian ballot law in Its original form Is in force. It has been In operation in that atate longer than any modification of tt has been In other states. It Is en tirely satisfactory to 'the pebple 0 f Massachusetts. There Is no objection to It whatever from any source. It *• upheld by Democrat* nnd Itapubl- c«na alike, by the people of city and country alike, ami there la not tho least probability that for £ long time to come Itwill be changed In ally par t-cular.

Bland, of the state of Mlsionrl, la one of the states men who after the 4th of next March will be ont of a job? For something like twenty years Mr. Bland baa been the most prominent advocate of the free coinage of silver In the country. He U so thoroughly Ideotfled with the free coinage Issue that nobody knows Of him lb'any other connection. He baa won wymuch prominence that per haps nine' pereons out of every ten, If asked the name of the best known of the advocate* 'of free silver, would have called bis name. Yet the ayclone ilold Mr. Bland out flat It 1* hard to under*tend why popular Indignation, because of the failure to puss a free coinage law should wreak Itself on the bead of the man best knowr. of all men for the persistmust ami cour age and skill with which bn has fought the battle* of free silver. That would be a very queer way for popular Indignation to express itself, it really seems that after all It caduoi bo true that the people defeated Mr. bland because congress did not pass a f ee coinage law, no matter what the Pop ulistic nuwapapers may say to the contrary.

The Telegraph hopes that means will be found to avoid thus In creasing of the pnbllc cent,,and we ate sure that the president and secre tary of the treasury will endeavor to avoid Issuing bonds If possible. SHORT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. GO AND REGISTER. BLAND'S DEFEAT. Tt* cyclone of last Tuesday swept down a vast number of Democratic amtasmen and politicians, but tt was not entirely without discrimination, it left not a s.ngle man that we know of who bad mad* himself particularly conspicuous as an adreoute of Popu- li»t.e theories of finance, whether be culled h.mself a Populist or a Demo unt If, aa some of our contempora- «e* contend, the Democratic partv taa» beaten because It faded to pass a , Only one hundred and fifty citizens of Macon have qualified 'hemselves by registering to vote In tho next city election, which will veur In a few weeks. The registration hook* close on the last Wednesday in November, and aa they are open only on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, there are only eight day* more In which the cm- xena of Macon can qualify tiieiJSelve* aa voters. The Telegraph wishes to Impress as strongly as possible upon each of It* readers the necessity of every man, who is otherwise entitled to vote, going to the city hall and reg istering bis name. There has been a great deal of complaint against cur city govern menu Whether this com' plaint was justified or not, it remains true that tho men who indulged lu com plaint or criticism of It are under spe cial obligations to qualify themselves as voters. They have no right complain if they do not take enough interest in the city’s affairs to panic Ipnte in elections. Tho city govern ment, and other governments, gen crslly reflect the character of the voters who create It. It la as good as they and as bad a* they. If. the gov eminent of Macon In not what ought to be, It may be safely slid that tho fault is that of the people of Ma con. It may also be said that the gov ernment faithfully reflect* the opm iona nnd desires of the people who cre ate if. If the character of the govern' blent la to be changed, then the nun) ber and the character of the people who participate in elections meat be changed, nnd It It well to remember In this connection that nobody can participate who has not registered. Therefore, if you think the government Is not as good as It ought to be. It is your duty to register at onco nnd to make tt better. If you fuil to do this, you show that you nre uot willing to mnko even the sllghtcet eacr'.floo In tho Intrusts of wbnt you consider good government, nnd ought to keep your mouth shut hereafter. Remember that Monday, Wednesday and Saturday, during thi* and next week, nre registration daya; that if you do not go to the city hall on one of these day* and put your name down, then you cannot vote in thi ooxtclty election and must put up with tho kind of government th»t poople more interested In city affairs ihan you are feel disposed to give you. I met a citizen of Bibb county yester day who makes Ms residence in Belle vue. i told him tint I had trouble* of my oWnt and suggested than there were patrolmen In the city, but he said noth Inc but a kick through the newspaper* would do him any goal. The parti-u- lir thing which imkte ills life miserable for him, he say*. Is the Belle/ue rorse: oar servtoe. The Idea of a car every Ibrty-flve minute* gives him tfttit tired feeling. The thought of having no car after 9 o'clock urt night errtee him home to his stood wife at least two bourn ear lier than he would atCierwtee get there. AIDhough these things are all bad enough, so he '-.'links, they are »o>; all. the condition' of -the rofijag stock on the Bellevue road also Interferes with the serenity of Me disposition. He ray* he Is perfectly willing to pay for the glass for the car windows If he can per-i suade the managers of the road to have It put In. The Idea of broken window* In a street eah on a November day gives him .in ague. Altogether he does not think the Bellevue can are being run In a manner calculated to keep the cltl- *Mia of that locality within the fold of the church. They were talking about the resent elctibns, nnd Mr. Ab Molt had said he thourht. Judging from the twturne. that they were still voting in severe 1 North ern and Weotern states. ’’Why,’’ "aid Oil. B.

Tho telegrams announced yesterday that tho treasury would probably mako another Issue of bonda-posgibly to the extent of one hundred million dollar*. Aa the expenses of the government are Row exceeding tho receipts about twelve million dollar* monthly, !t la easy to gee that the treasury must get more money to meet it* obligations thjn the revenues furnish. It cannot go on forever paying out twelve mil lion dollars a month more than It re- coivos. A* it Is not likely that con- grew would Increase taxation In order to get more money, even If It were m gtaglon. It la hard to tee how the treasury la to raise the necessary fund* to meet Its engagements unit.is It borrows—that I* to say, unless it Usne* bonds That this necessity should bo on the treasury Is to be very sincerely regretted. It means that lu the {merest charges and In the repay ment of the principal a very considera ble burden will be laid upon the peo ple. But what la the treaffbry to do If It does not borrow I Is it to default In Its payments and thus sacrifice the credit of the government? This la not to be considered for x motu-nt. •there are no cltlietu who wish the government to sacrifice its cred.t, un less possibly It be those who are wil ling that it* credit and evorythlug cite shall go If the result no si new era of greenbacks or tbe free coinage of silver. There it likely to bo a uowl from the newspapers and ttum|( speakers who bate Mr. Cleveland aud dclett sound finances If these bonds are Is sued—that Is, If the government tor row* money to meet engagements which otherwise It could uot meet But the common sense of the couutry. when the circumstance* of the case are fully understood, will judge the case on.Its merits.

They may condemn the so. PERTINENT INQUIRY. An old but -trite saving Is "thait whom tbe gods wish to destroy they fins’, make mad.' If thjs be true, we, the people of Macon, are golnar the road of destruc tion. To be sure, wo have achtevod the madneas part of the prediction. I say we, because we eend our representa tives to the-city hall to do our bidding and hehrwts. They must be* ou» repre sentatives' because wa elected them. If they were elected tl was by the (will of the people, because majorities rule, und It takes a majority lo elect. Thdtefore, as they are serving ue, we must be mad or verging on to «t.fbr all their acts are bum, and however muoh we wish to dis avow their doing!', It is we who sent them and put them In power, and It is our act that makes their acts possible. We can call 4t nothing short of madness to plow up and render both sides-of a being able to lend- a helping hand. Who at the same time. When a whtole street Is thus tom up, suppose a fire should break but In the center of the block .It would be Impossible for the engined and perhana for firemen to get to the flames. A man would have lo stand by and see his house or property destroyed without being sbaleto lend s helping hand. Who wbuld pay this loss? Would an Insur ance company stand the loss under such tarcumeunros? Never! A suit against the city would be the result, and dam ages oould certainly be recovered.

And all for what? To make an obscure street that nobody lives on and never gqce lo or through a ’.eve! road.
