The return* yeaterBax from Texas flnw that the Populist* did not gain the great victory in tfial stats which for a time was credited to them. On tho contrary, the L'oniocrala have probably carried the state by flft>- thousand majority and alcited .every member of the nongfuslon.il. delega tion bnt one, and that one 1, a lkpub lican, not a Populist. Aa the Populists completely lost their hold on Kansas, Nebraska and Colorado,, they bare now only a few scat tor. tig njembere from different states, and may be com.dered to hare disappeared as a national force, except that tbelr representatives In tho win to will continue to sit after tho popular movement which put them In power has disappeared. It, is a very significant fact that the result of tho campaign made of, tho Populists and by Democrats tymt»thls|ng with them has resulted not n gains for them, hut for the Btgtbblloans. Every aiaiuirtont! made in favor of Populism has mads convert* to Republicanism' if wo may believe the itory tor.l b/ tlics election return*. / -t •••"£ '■/ ‘ ' I It la necessary . tor. r. notv party which ha, norer boon In power to con tinue to grow or It .unnot continue to j Kve, Orosrap.ift.ft oonJUIon of Its ex istence. Wo bollovo, therefore, that the Popul.at party will practically dls- : nppenr from now on. but the effects of the Populist movement will not dis appear with It. Tout movement has created in tbs South a, sharp division among the white people. It haa deni-1 onstrated that the pressure brought upon tho white Aooplo'of this (notion by tho weight oT notfro ;goom oco around them' and 'Wor.hotn prejudice and power above them, is no ion ear sufficient to keop thorn together. The South It bo longer solid, bccsuuo South ern white men no longer hello Yd that It :* necessary for them to stick to gether undor any and all o'.reumsuncea In order to ho safe! "Ttls being true, wo oxpoct the division which has been crested by tho PopolWt movement to enntinne. But If tho Popultat party disappears, what will become of tba men who havo gone Into that party In the Smith! YTo believe they will become Republicans. At lsast a por tion of shorn will: Not" because tho measures which they favor will be adopted by the Republican party, but bccuuio they will' omno to recognise tho fundamental fad that the pater nalism which was tho general cbariio- tor.stlo of tho hi'hefs of the Populist party Is also tho general.chornctorittlo of tho beliefs of the Republican party. They agree in tholr con ception of tho duties of the goverment toward tho people. They have differed only as to tho measures which the gov-1 ernmont should adopt for the welfare! of tho poople. This being true, 5t will; be a comparatively caty tjilng to con vince men who want iho government to tftko caro of ibc ciiUeu to threw In j the'r fortunes with the Republican p«r- ly. wlu-n there is no other party char- log that belief with him.

By providing * su.la- ble ballot law wh-ch will set up a test of Intelligence and education and’ at the tamo time Insure fair elections, it can deprive the situation which wo have described of all Its elements oi dmgar. It could make sure that tho Intelligence of the state wilt control Sts affairs, and- when this Is true. It does not matter so much by what name the party in control It called. At least, the success of another party than the Democratic parly would not under such circumstance* mean a re lapse Into barbarism or a fight to thrust out barbarism, tu was the case on the former occasion. Somewhat numerous election. bills nave been In trod need In both nooses of the legis lature. It Is plain that the public vep timent of the state, without regard to party, Is overwhelmingly In favor of reform that will insure nure elections. This being true, It ought to lw easy for the committee having the matter in charge to make up from these blits already introduced and from the laws of other states a measure perfectly TCulted to the condition, which exist In this state. To do this Is ft public duty of tho first Importance. Neglect of tt will subject the members of '.be legislature to harsh, and wo ihluk de served, criticism by their constituent*. REGISTER TODAY. Tho Telegraph yesterday nrged at •oma length upon our citizens the Im portance of registering for tho city election. It does not wish to make It self tiresome in this connection, but again recur* to the-subject.. It does so because every Citizen of Macon who Is entitled to vote owe* it to ttie wot- fare of the commuaty to Lake part In the selection of tho men to be en trusted with the city’* affairs'. If all citizens w.ll vote, we have not ibe slightest doubt that tbelr choice w.ll fall upon proi>er men. The majority of 'the people of Macon believe In good government and -are Intelligent enough to select proper peiuons to g.ve them good government. It the -hoice at any time shows lt'ck of w.sdoin In that the ability and churacter of the men se lected are not what they should be, that fact Is due to the failure of the citizens who are really most Interested in the welfare of the city and moat ca pable of vot.ng w.bely to take part In the election. It Is a notorious tact that the people who have the largos; •take In the - - community, whose luilu- ence would be most useful 'n fixing the character of tho government, are tho very men who are most apt to neg lect or refuse to take part In the elec tions. They, fall In duly and tbe.r ten ure is a m.stftte of the greatest import ance. - Bo fag is personal comfort and psrimps personal prosperity U con cerned, the municipal government of Macon ts of more Importance to the c.tlzen of Macon than tho government of the stato or of the nation. It Is the government which touches bltu most closely; which takes moat from blui in taxes, which require* most of him la sacrifices of other kinds, and from which ho lias a right ,to expect most In the way of the conveniences sod comforts which must bo provided by tljo common effort of citizens. Remember that there are only eight more days, Including today, in which you can register. It wUl oe easier for you to register todsy than on any other of the seven, In all probability. Therefore, tako prompt action In this matter. We havo th.s opportunity to serve the city, and lu serving It of course to ses*ve ourselves. GREATER NEW YORK. There Is no doubt oins'.derablo Jeal ousy of Chicago In the movement to consolidate New York, Brooklyn and the neighboring towns >h;o ouo city. But the scheme 1« an imposing one. ttr.klng to tho Imagination, mid for this reason, perhaps, has received the approval of overy ono of tho munici palities consented. The legislature will perhaps act promptly and the result will bo a city of nearly three millions of poeoplt—he* populous only than London—and lu territorial extent ex ceeding that metropolis of tho world. Such a city wUl gain something, no doubt, in tho Impression Its.immensity makes on tho Imagination* of men, but wo are inclined to think that this Is tho least gain to be expected by the people most ImmedU'cly concerned- Ws think that tho government of tbit great olty will bo much belter govern ment than that of either of tho de tached cities making >t un bat been. Ws think experience has demonstrated that representatives m any legislative body are apt. In character and intelli gence, to be high or low In proport'on to the site of the constituency they rep resent. Of course this rule will not work without numerous exceptions. Rut It la much easier to elect a small and bad man from a small eoustUu- rney than from a very large one. It Is easier, for Instance, to elect a dis reputable person of bad character and low Intelligence alderman of any dry In Georgia than to elect h.ra governor of the state. Whatever may bo tho reasons, we think that experience baa demonstrated that this is tree. It It b true, then tt ts likely that tho greater New York w.ll bo more wisely governed than the present city has been, unless tbs mistake Is made of dividing the elty Into exceedingly small districts from which to elect the men who con trol Its government. It U net dkely, however, that this mistake will be made. The country wilt watch tho experi ment with a great deal of Interest. SPIRIT OF THE GEORGIA PRESS.

It was followed In 1619 by News Out of Holland. Eng- tand’s earlier* paper. This was succeed ed by the Weekly News to 1622. The Couror.t, eeulbllelted In 1709, eras the first London daily. . . A paper which attempted to establtt-n Itself at Beaton In 1CS3 was promptly suppressed by the government of Mae- i sachusetts. bn the plea that it contained I "reflexion of very high nature,” which, I however, consisted of nothing but the ordinary political news of the day.

TOO MANY ELECTIONS. • jVe have entirely too many elections in Georgia Instead of having so many different eleddcms, all should be held on the Birrco day. The October election for Governor, state House officers and members of the General Assembly ab sorbs the people’s attention, for severe) weJks. and ths last vote is hardly counted before people begin to get ready for the November election. After the November election comes .the one for choosing county officers. Thus wo see we have three elections In a lithe more than three months. Besides ithese -elections, in this county -especially two primary elections are held—one to select nomlitees tor the Legislature and the other to nominate county officers. Thus we have five- electrons in Milton county to one year. This is entirely too many. The people get tired cf so many elections, and the compnatot Is general with the'peo- Pie of the county that too much time Is being devoted to politics. , We traat to see all elections held on I the same day, and we want to see | one primary held by the Democratic I party to -the county to make all nom- tnu/tlons, and wa believe this will do aw-ay with a girea't deal of unnecessary excitement and annoyance, and will rave a considerable amount of time Fre<f U prees tinS p ° I>ulaUoa -~ AI I >lle ret;u ANSWER THIS QUESTION.
