THE PERILS OF DIVISION.
There Is <mo ooag.deration that wo
think should have groat wolgtit with
tbo people of Maoon o( this time, when
the; arc about to rotor upon on elec
tion at aldormeD, and when thnro Is
doubt as to whrther or not tlio ticket
put (n the Held yestonla; b; ‘ha "Good
Oovernincnt Club" Is to have opposi
tion.' That consideration Is this:
Tbo government—and nipcolall; tbo
muttitf-pal government—put In power
ns tho result of a fierce factional bat
tle fools Itself under tho necessity of
strengthening Its position. It must do
orerytlilsig possible to bring to It tbo
unquestioning ami loyal support of at
Inuit a part of the community. Every
man who has knowledge of politics
knows that this kind of support, given
by a class or a faction which hits a dl-
root Interest fn tho perpetuation of tbo
government. Is 'worth a groat; deal
more in practical results at the polls
than a general nn.l vsguo support
which tins tn It no element of self-
tntcrest. It follows urn tho govern
ment which is obliged, to atrcugtfcon
Itself by consollilatldg nronod It sup
porters who win obey c.idrri .without
question is almost inevitably compelled
to appeol to those elasteo In tho com
munity who have somotHIng to ssk of
the government In' the arajr uf favors.
Most dilscos ha Vo nothing to ask ex-,
oept fair treatment- nothing, that ts
to say, except good government. But
there ore dames who on be favored
in their business, or by leniency in on-
forci ng the lstvs. Three are tbo
dosses, therefore^ which It Is fastest
for tho government, bent on perpetu
ating Itself, to gain control of. cud it
is human nature *o dfco advantage of
the opportunity. It matters very little
by whom tho ohy government Is put in
power, If there is rcuaunt warfare
upon it, and it is oBhstxl. iUerefuts, to
fight In self-defense—littlo difference,
we mean, !u the fins) reiulr, tor It will
toevttsbly tend towards these pur-
ehastble classes, wo will call them,
for support If tho government is
mads up of psrCcuUriy strong men,
this tendency will be mated cud
progress in that direction will bs slow.
Bui the tendency will exist, nevenbe-
i-
leas, and progress win bo made.
It follows os the lesson of this ex-
per once that, if possible; we ought to
put in power • fifty government which
rcptwoi* all cUsses in the eoinmiml-
ty. sad wh.cb does not teal that it is
the object of enmity of any particular
class. A government no a.tnated <s at
liticrty to do Rffi Best work for tho city.
It Is not hampered on the one hand
by Obligations, nor on the other by en
mities. It has no deb's to pay sr I
no enemies to to guard against. This
Is equivalent to saying that tho gentle
men nominated yesterday will be Ir. a
better position to help give Macon the
kind of government she needs. If they
go into office without; a. fight being
made upon them. Phere is n reasona
ble hope that this will bo the case—
that they will go Into office by general
oousent. We sincerely hope tbit they
will do no. As wo said yesterday,
there is no good reason' why any cltl-
sen who has simply the general wel
fare of the city at heart should oppose
them,- If there Is any o’.Usen who for
personal reasons objects to the elec
tion of one or more, or all of them, ho
should sink that objection In bis dfstro
tq see our city prosperous.
TI1E HELPLESS TREASURY.
Commenting on the new Issue of
bonds, the Memphis Commercial-Ap
peal ssys that "as the "former Issue did
not sustain the gold reserve, neither
will this one. It Is a mere temporary
expedient, and something Will have to
be done by congress to render ouch
issue* unnecessary. The Idea that the
country’s diffit should bo increasing In
ft time of peace ttnd when the govern
ment has only its ordinary businim
to perform, la absurd beyond expres
sion.”
This Is perfectly true. But It Is also
true that this "temporary expedient"
will have to be resorted to «t very fre
quent Intervals until congress lias sense
enough to so Change the character of
the treasury that It will no longer l>«
a great banking Institution. Look.at
the facts [a the case. The government
has outstanding about five hundred
million dollars df promissory notes,
which it must redeem on demand in
gold, or precipitate a panic In which,
practically, tho whole business of the
country will oollopsc—In which the
government’* credit will disappear, fer
the time being, and widen will render
necessary another long struggle, ex
tending over many year*, to regain the
ground thus lost and re-establish tho
tl nances of the country oh a-firm ba
sis. As long as this five hundred mil-
lion dollars of promissory notes la out
standing it ts in tho power of any ono
in command of-a larige amount of cap
ital to withdraw gold from the United
States treasury at his will. Recent
experience of the treasury Indicates
that there are men who wish toco this,
not because they want guld. but bo*
cause they sock a safe investment for
Idle funds. Tho process Is a very sim
ple one. A combination or syndicate
of men, Svitfi largo amounts of ;<tlo
capital on bind, seeking an investment
that la safe, have only to present a
sufficient amount of tile government's
promissory notes at Its treuenry win
dow to compel It to Issue bonds, in or
der to protect its credit, by keeping its
promise to pay gold on demand. It Is
useless to say that tho government
could moot this demand by paying sil
ver. It cannot, for the reason that
were It to pay silver Instead of gold,
tho result would bo a oh a age from the
gold to tho silver standard of values
in this country, with on accompanying
shook to Its business interests fur which
no government can afford to bs ro-
sponsible.
Having forced Hi* issue of bonds to
get gold, and put Into tho treasury the
ceoeoeary amount of grccubacks, tho
combination or syndicate !* soon in a
position to repeat the operation, for un
der tho law the government cannot
keep tho notes which R hss redeemed,
but Is compelled to pay them out
again—that Is to sty, to again put
them in tho control of tho men who
wish to forco another tssus of bonds.
Olio process, therefore. Is tills: Tho
combination pays greenbacks Into tho
treasury tor gold; tho treasury issues
bonds to replenish the stock of gout,
and immediately pays out again tbs
greenbacks which it lias redeemed; tho
combination again pays in the green
back* which have Just been paid out,
again gets Ua gold, and again compels
tho Issue of bands. Thera is no rea
son why this process should not go on
indefinitely. It puts the treasury in an
nbiurd, oven pitiable position. It is
perfectly helpless In the bands of pri
vate speculator*, and It will continue
to be helpless and will continue to be
abused Just so long a* there la a sur
plus of Idle money which cannot find
employment more profitable than tho
3 per cent, which the government pays
In Interest
Now, what Is tho remedy? The I\>p-
ullata and those who sympathize with
them say that Yt Is to issue more
greenbacks—to flood the country with
promises of the government to pay,
hut st the same time to declare that the
government will not pa)-, thus giving
over the country to the horrors of a
depreciated currency and driving ell
metallic money out of obxulation. The
roar purpose hack of this demand, or.
rather, back of the proposed remedy,
is to repudiate private debts. We have
no idea whatever that the country will
ever consent to the adoption of this
policy. First, because the mass of the
people are essentially hottest. The)
do not wish their government dishon
ored by the refusal to pay its obliga
tions, nor do ihey wish to repudiate
their own. In the second place, they
do not bellevo that prosperity can bo
the result of a fluctuating currency,
nor of the d>Ifdne*ty finding expres
sion In that currency.
A more simple remedy, and one
which will be finally approved by tho
common sense at the country, is for
tht government to pay its obligations,
Its promissory notes, and tigs destroy
them. There Is no good reaeon why
tho government, having isrurri a prom
ise to pay, shall keep that promise
forever tn circulation at money and
as we have shown, there Is good rea
son why it should not do so. The gov
ernment, like s private Individual,
when It gets into debt, is to a certain
extent at the mercy of the creditor.
It may be objected to this remedy
•hat the withdrawal of the goverment’s
promissory notes from circulation
would be disastrous to the business in
terests of" the 'country, through the
sharp curtailment In the currency sup
ply tints caused. This la true. If the
present laws preventing tile people
from providing themselves with their
own mooey are allowed to stay <>n the
statute books. But there Is no neces
sity of continuing these laws. It Is
perfectly practicable to go back to the
system which obtained before the war,
and which in principle obtains -n every
clvtV.sed country today. Whatever sys
tem at banking or currency may here
after bo adopted, it Is certain
that the treasury can never be
safe from raids, tho cred.t of tUo gov
eroment. never safe from attacks by
speculators, until tbo government'*
credit ceases to be used as a basis for
the circulating medium of the country.
The qu.cker wo get aw»y" rom the
greenback system tho better off the
oounny will be, and we hops that leg-
.slaters will not. In their fear uf of
fending those who hold Populistic no
tions on the currency question, fall to
show the courage necessary to bring
ubou.t genulno reform.

OWED WHITWORTH MONEY.
Further LIglft Thrown On the Tragedy
at Naahvllle.
Nashville, Nov. 15.—George K. Whit
worth, (who yesterday fired two shots
Into his own body after killing Allison,
is expected to die before motmng at
his home. At a meeting of the bar of
Davidson county resolution* In mem
ory of the dead chancellor and of re
gret for the tragedy were passed. HI*
remains win Do Interred tomorrow with
much ceremony.
Further light was thrown on the
cause of the deed when there watt filed
with the county registrar today a deed
oaslwnmnsit 4s*v UTl’fwnPth Hill 1 . 'Tl
of assignment ?>y Whitworth and
favor of the Fourth National tfar.B, in
trust, to oecure the paynieut of $(MXK)
due the ■bank by Whitworth. Tbe
property assigned consists for the most
part of real estate and thoroughbred
stock, all valued at over f25,000. This
leaves no doubt Chat Whitworth was
financially involved. Allison owed
him, so he claimed, some $30,000, and
on the street the understanding Is that
tills obligation was incurred by Alli
son In the course of the recent political
campaign. It is further asserted that
a great part of this amount AlUson re
fused to pay on legal grounds. Whit
worth was incensed that he should
have spent ttts money to re-elect Am-
son and that Allison should then not
rmtv w*fuse to repay* but should eject
The recorder Of the city of Athtos from office. AUls.ra’s fail
ure to pay up also made it necessary
for Whitworth to make the assignment
which was filed this monrtnU' «“«;
worth has said since the tragedy that
he anU All'son could not breathb tiie
samo breath or live cn the same
earth. __________

OI'KANE’S SAFE EMPTY.
There Wero Twenty Feople to Bee It
s Opened.
Brooklyn, Nor. 15.—The safe of
John Y. McKane, the ex-boss of Grave
send, now In Sing Sing, was opened
(n the municipal building, Brooklyn,
this morning By the beard of asses
sors and, to the great surprise and con
sternation of all. It was empty. The
only things they found woro a white
slip of blank paper, partly torn through
the centre, and a small model brasa
boot about an Inch long. Ti e Brook
lyn authorities have been a; work for
three months trying to ger possession
of tho safe and the b'ooks and papers,
supposing Ehom to be locked in tho
safe, and fxpected to show conclusive
ly whether MoKane is behind In his
accounts with the town. MeKano
signed an order a fotv days ago allow
ing tho assessors to open the *ife, and
this mornlmj was the time fixed for
the examination of the safe to begin.
