BRING OUT THE FACTS.
In the boat of oooffiat at too last
meeting of too oi/ty council, too pro-
oowllngs of which were reported In yes
terday'* Telegraph, certain very se
rious charges wore mnde, which do-
serve prompt and thorough investiga
tion.

nliluskl Ucenso ou too ground that

wor« allowed to go unpunished. It
too latanMbe on which Mr. Van
based hla action in opposing too reso
lution was definite enough to Justify
him In tost course, It must aK> ho
definite enough to teouxo too convic
tion and punishment of too men ho
says have been violating the law. Mr.
Van, therefore, dust nuke a valuable

Cue, tout he had been Hw.ruotied by
Dndo unnamed aujavior to retrain

face, this dtHkNOM looks about as
bad os It could. It looks like an alli

ment and too authorizes whose duty
It Is to proved Infix dims of tbo aw.
Tbo charge was so vague that It did
- not specify toe offending official, a • <1

AN IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
Our Vootl ookrona yesterday con-
mined a report of the not on taken by
the M<u»n AdvertMng and Information
Bureau at ha teat meriting. Art this
meriting a moveuicut was Inaugurated
which, If pnopurly supported, we think
la sure do hare 'beneficial results not
cwfy for Macon, but for toe whole
state. We refor m toe nfiototion call
ing sa Imtaigrattloo amvcmion in this
a ty. The plan far this convention has
no* yat been frilly perfeoted, but the
general Idol Is tout there stall be one
delegate from each ootinty snd two
from each congressional district, too
latter appoluied by too governor, and
too* this convention shall take Into
consideration toe beat pfaatt cable merit-
ods of inducing luinrlgntichm of «be
right sort from toe Northern and West
ern atalteu and from Europe.
The movement, In our opinion, Is
timely. There has been no period tn
our history when the effort to draw
i mm .grants to this section was more
likely to bo successful. Though w«
Lave hard tomes, toe South has gone
through the panto with less dlstreae

We should toko advantage of the dis
content tvlt'a'i itoa hard aoudl-Uous ot
uLStcoce la the Northwestern and
Northern siutat have orented In tboso
regions. There are thousands of men
living in those sections who have oewna
to recognize 'too fsett that toe chance
for suocess there Is very small, and
who could be Induced tio come to too
South if thoy were give* to pnderstaud
the real advatoUgcs of this section,
Tlio South has a great deal to gain
by turning Hhmgrojtiou this svn-y. Tho
streams of pewpto from Europe and
from too Huttem stoles have in a few
years created in too Wo# a populous
and Immensely wenhtby empire. Tho
South, during too same years, has In
creased in wealth uud populanum ivitli
ooiupurotlvw slowness. The same lm-
inlgiuCon which has lundo too Wert

Uils way. On account of iho peculiar
conditions winch exist in this section,
it Is net desirable thus raw hit mi-
grariis from Europe, espeoially from
soiithem Europe, ontfrely uraaotiuainred
with our institutions and with the pe
culiar oomULoas in the South, should

A HAD POLICY.
The other day, hi commenting on
certain remarks of tho Amcricus
Ttmos-Rcoonlor, tho Telegraph as
sumed iSm-t Itat paper would bo pleased
If Mr. David B. IUl should be too
c-nKhdiiio fbr prvoia«il m 1S0C. Wo
»r» now romtndcd by ttau paper tost
scvvtul mo’rhs turn (ttulitnl tho names
of A dial E. Stovcoaoo and Charles F-
Otup to tho lictul of tts editorial col-
utnns ns too iui-ims which should go
On toe' IXvuooivulc rivkeit In ISOd. Wo
pirod yullfy to tho charge of having
for tod moment forgJhen Uut our con
tevttpoRity had committed Itself to a
ticket <a which Mr. Hill's name does
not sppssr.
But avo oanoot agree with too reu
son-i-ag by which our contemporary
seeks to make it appear that Mr. Ste
venson Is too proper man to bo the
Democratic candidate tn 1SDQ. It says:
“S«n«.ter HUl la a better Democrat tn
all probability than any other man north
ot too Potomac, but ht Isn't our sort ot
Democrat- His constituents Interest* arc
diverse from ours, snd If he filled too
me sure ot Democracy according to too
Stevenson or Crisp standard ho couldn't
carry a single election precinct tn ton
whole state of New York for any office
from balUff to president. The Democratic
party must do away with tho Eastern
Idea and look to the West and the South
for their candidates Senator Hlfi (eo-
crapblcal situation eliminates him from
t^ie race In iSX. no leas than his lack ot
harmony wlrh the doctrines ot whi
left of the Democratic party In the South
and the Unloii. Senator Hill's kind of
Democracy, while as good ss could he
expected north of the Potomac, doesn’t
come up to our standard, and the man
that sutta us of toe South couldn't com.
mand a corporal's ruard of votes In that
1 section where protection ond xoldhog*
eery constitute the sum total ot politics
held equally by Democrat and Republi
can.''
We think this bad ramonlng la favor
of a bad policy. KSs country las suf
fered during toe last thirty yean from
no cause so much ns from sectional
feeltDg. During that time toe utot has
grown strong in too minds of public
men tout it is their duty to legislate,
not for the general Intercut, but for
toe particular Interest of their section.
The congressman or toe senator re
gards himself, oo* as a law maker ot
toe United States, but as a law maker
for toe particular seotlon from which
be oranes. The Republican party, dur
ing most of that time In the ascend
ancy, snd drawing its strength from
the North and Went, has therefore leg
Istated purely in the Interest of those
sections. It was oot a national parly.
In making laws it did not consider toe
effect ot those laws on the country as
a whole, but thought of nothing ex
cept too beoefft to the North and
West 1* legislated to protect and cre
ate monopolies, because those monop
olies had their sent In those sections.
In every other possible direction It was
oootroUed by toe same considerations.
If tlio proposed law tended to take
money from toe South, and give it to
tho North, too* woa not an objection
to too eyes of these legislators, but a
recommcndabloQ ot overwhelming
weight
If we understand tho Recorder cor
rectly, it proposes that tola sp’rit shall
guide the policy of toe DemocrMlo
party; ffiut too Democratic party,
la Us tarn, shall seek to consolidate
the South and West in order that they
muy legislate » take money from toe
North and East We consider tois, as
wo have said, bod policy. We have
regarded It ns toe misUon o>f too Dem
ocratic party to restore to lcgniation
its national dUaraater, and tots can
bo done only by giving wught and
oana.der.ng prcpoaltiona of legisla
tion only to tho quearion whether the
offoat will be good for the whole coun
try qnd Is Jiut. There Is no pixa.blo
basis for truly rraittoixil legsktnon ex
cept Justice. Tho tariff law which
protects cannot be Just because tho
prodls which It nlll confer upon ono
industry or one section must be taken
from other Industries and other sec
tions. Bo In financial lc-gdlation. The
low which Is Intended to relievo debt
ors partially of the obligation of then
contracts, because the West and South
are the debtor sections, will-be in ac
cordance with too name vicious prac
tices that caused too country to ret
volt against tlio RjetpubQloan party in
1800 and 1802. We -uuy be sure that
If tho country understands that this
prinoipCe Is t» bo adopted by me Dem
ocrulo party-if too party; Is to be
come “sectional Instead of national ;n
chariiater-ithoit It will never oe' given
a vote of confidence. It vyiH lose in
ctaraotor without gaining,* power.
In our opinion, It unroot sulfite such
a change ot character, but , will dasapt
pear from too arena of Amettoan poli
ties. But If, on too contrary, It it

Is done entirely by trading politicians.

NOT A “SOREHEAD.’
PuhUcutiona made recently w-tro ap
parently Intended to convey too lm
prosston that Col. Leveret*, because of
too loss of hi offleo of United States
inarrJi.il, had become a "sorehead''—«
disgruntled Democrat, disposed to fight
too administration and to wreak ven
geance on persons who. It was tnslu
united, had brought about his removal
for political reasons.
Nothing could bo further froth tho
truth. OoL Leverott is now, as ho has
always been, a straightforward, fight-
tog Democrat, and though be thinks
that ho has been grossly wronged in
being denied a hearing, ho Is not for
that reason going around cursing toe
president or' nnybody else. Ho Is per
tevilly wining to stand on his record as
a Democrat before ho took the office
and on too results ot Ills administra
tion after he <JM rako It All ha asks
now is that too fhots of bis administra
tion bo brought out in a hearing that Is
ocrraCn, to vlndicaxe him. Speaking
yesterday of toe publlardons which
had been made In reference to toe sen-
atorshlp as affected by his remoral
from office, ho raid that ho saw no
connection whatever between too two;
that the newspaper writers who had
tried to ontivey toe Impression that
such a connection existed wore either
mtsluftirmed or had a motive of their
own. His own positon, ho said, vnas
well known, and he had not toe toast
objection to orating it now and at any
other time. He had been Gen. Gordon's
friend for years and would continue
to be. Gon. Gordon bad been
friend, snd two years from now and
In toe nuMutlme. ho would do what
ho could to securo Gen. Gordon's ro-
election. If that gentleman deervd elec
tion. "Ami If he docs,” Oot Leverott
added, "the nun does not Uvo

can defeat ffitu."

To the Editor of the Telegraph: It

A great many will either quit She bus

ITEMS NEWSY.
Monroe Advertiser: If there Is nny
one public duty of which the suffra
gists of this country have become tired
It la that of attending upon the mul
tiplicity of elections held in Georgia
In order to choose their public serv
ants.
The Idea of consolidating the elec
tions fs not new to the Advertiser.
Believing It to be a wise policy we ad
vocated It years ago. We have given
the subject some thought, and If there
be valid reasons against having fewer
elections 1h this state, we have been,
thus far. to discover them.
It may be. perhaps, the wisest policy
not to mix the national, state and coun
ty elections in the same spot, lest the
results obtaining therefrom might not
be the most wholesome. We belong
to that class of state rights thinkers
who have never, and who do not mink
It the safest policy tor national affairs
to meddle too closely with state affairs.
However, a wise election law might
set up a barrier sufficient to suppress
any evil results likely to grow out of
a combination of national and state
elections. But we can see no wise
statesmanship nor wise policy In hav
ing the state and county elections sep
arate and thereby annoy the voter
with attendance upon two elections
when one could accomplish the same
result. The first iweek In January,
the time at which county elections are
now held, to the most opportune ‘time
of the year ah which an: election can
he held. This is specially true when
we consider the environments of the
large class of laborers of this coun
try.
Indeed there Is common sense In hav
ing the state and county elections, at
least, consolidated and held on the
same day. Attaching to every elec
tion Is more or less demoralisation
among some voters and certainly too
much political pow-wowlrig; and the
fewer elections we have the less of
these things that brood no good will
we have. Hence, While the legisla
ture Is considering election reforms,
the members thereof Should give the
matter of consolidating elections their
serious consideration. ,

A Sumter County Man Who Will Buy
His Cotton In the Future.
Americus. Nov. 21.—The Tlmee-Be-
corder prints the following, which is a
timely hint to farmers:
One of Sumter’s best and hitherto
most successful Planters was talking
about the low price of cotton yester
day. and rather surprised his audience
by declaring that next year he will buy
Ms cotton crop instead of planting and
gathering it as in the past.
He will buy October contracts, put
ting aside a goodly sum with which to
keep up the business, and expects to
realise as least as much as from the
crop lust gathered and sold at 4 1-2
and 5 cents.
But the best feature of Ms plan is
that he will plant his entire farm In
com, oats, peas amd potatoes, and. will
raise every pound of meat that it will
take to run the place. If he will stick
to this proposition he Is bound to suo-
ceed, oo 'matter how his cotton pur
chase pans out. 1

CLASSICAL GIFT TO PRINCETON.
Tho ail ego l.brary. of Primcdton has
received from a prominent alumnus,
whose name Is withheld, a fine me
diaeval manuscript of Terence. This
manuscript oonslsts of ICG leaves,
partly of parchment and partly of pa
per. The text is written throughout
In one hand, in clear masculine letters,
In black ink. The names of the char
acters In fho play are regularly written
in red. Tho test Is oonrplote for the
six plays, and the manuscript Is dated,
wliloh Is unusual.
On tlie flisft page Is a fine lllnmlu-
aited capital, nnd fn .thB earlier part ot
die book there are a good many pic
tures and deconnifivo figures. IVhllo
the test is completo from end to end,
the rod lotifera for the diameters in tho
plays are only partly filled In. Whore
they aro not filled In, there are little
black letters Dor the diameters. The
Band of the expositor is visible in many
places In a small brownish writing be
tween the lines of the text
Tho whole manuscript Is prefaced by
an epigram of six lines, wh'idi Is
hdadod: “H^Mhaphluin Therenoil.” At
tho end is a laitf.n note which, trans
lated, runs as fof.l«ws: "This Terence
belongs to John cf Santanco, licentiate
In law, art Salines In Burgundy, and ho
had it mnde fa the city of Pavla, tn
the year of our Lord 1402, while he
himself was slaying art Pavia, In tlio
house of Master George do Forils, and
I gave BO ducats of gold. Even so.”
The last Sheets ot tho book have been
perforated In sovertal places by book
worms. Taken as n whole, this man
uscript, which is of the Calliopinn re
cension, Is the best now In tho college
library, and one of tho best class'oal
manuscripts alow In tho United States.-
