PKSEBT1VO 1TH “PBlMOtPL.ES.*
The devdopuKttt and doesdonco of
bow pd'Ccol parties Is always a curious
awl somewhat Intnresting study. When
•be People's party (lest effeded an or
ganisation and put out a platform, St
Mood for tho meet advanced socialistic
Ideas ever advocated by a polit'eal par
ty In tbo 1'ulirtl States. First of all,
It wap for tho sub-treasnry plan. Then
It was for government ownership of
railrauU and telegraph lines. Its most
trusted leaden demanded that coal and
troa ni nes should become common
property, and perhaps n demand to this
effect appeared in some of tho plat
forms of tho party. AU in aU, the par
ty stood os the rvptvpuKaiivc of the
d .--ontented people who. having failed
to ..ohiovo tho aucress to wh eh they
f.ii tbeuxaelvca enttkd, looked to the
fort on tbelr part, the results of such
succors. But what a chauge Is now np-
gorernnient to give them, wllhout cf-
parenl! Perhaps men who were sin
cor«3y and 'ntelllgently Populat* are
atilt socialistp-sUII dcsg'c that the gov
ernment shall obnorh nil power and
nadertake to care tor and make com
fortnble aU cXamp—but the party It-
self, y ekllDg to political exigencies. Is
apparently drawing tiwoy from all of
Its original purposes. It Is Incoming
simply a free silver party and uoth'ng
more. A .lsjutch says lhat a conven
tion will be held In the next two months
at which the d’opulists w 11 decide
whether they will put aside nil other
questions and go to Hie country simply
on tho demand for tin*, free coinage of
silver at the 10 to 1 rat'o. The mt-u
who wore aincerely in fa vor of the sub
treasury plan and who ridiculed the
free stiver scheme hy saying that
, would add someth in; like thirty oeiila
a year per capita, to tho currency of
tho cmincvy must llixl thcnsolves lu
a rather paiinful position If they are
still Populist*. All the th tig* which
they thouglit were twseoilnl to tho wel
fare of tho ooumry trevo been ahan-
ihiatvl Iby tbolr rarty, or ore about to
bo abandoned.
This change of policy is of course due
to the convlct'on on the part of the
Populist Inatlif* that in tills way they
am bent got Into power. Possibly they
are right. At least It s probable that
they will get more voti* ns a free tl'ver
pnrty than as a semi, or wholly, social
ist party. But IS they hope, having
once got Into power, to carry out ull
of their orig u.il schemes, they ought
to bo taught by the recent experience
of the Democratic party that such hope
Is fallacious. It Is practically impos
sible for a party, even though It bare
possession of every branch of the gov-
<«nmnut, to enact Into ta ws ideas which
have not been fully understood and ac
cepted tiy Its member* before the elec
tion. When It conn* to the actual
work of legislation its representatives
w'll rtf use to bo hound to any united
action, just as Democrats in this cop-
gross refused to be bound by any com
mon policy ns to tho currency, because
during the campaign there had not beetf
it common understanding of the pur
poses to lie achieved. It is pogslble, if
the Populists brronio merely a free sil
ver {(arty, that they, will draw largely
from tho Rcpubllotuns of tho West and
the Democrat* of the South, but. In our
judgment, they will even then have no
eluince of wltui'ng nnything more than
mere local victories. In fact, two he-
llovo that ft return of prosperity to tho
country, with the panning away of tho
effects of tho roecut panic, w'4l reduco
tho free silver Issue in politics to one
of comparative unimportance, amt with
Its Importance will pass away tho par
ty making tlio demand for free silver
coinage Its only claim to public eotiald-

pay attention to th's advloe, but some
of them tony. If they do, they will
find Governor Kolb unable to help them
when their property Is about to he sold
out by the sheriff. If Sir. Kolb mould
go ono stop further and advise his fol
lowers to pay their taxes to him or b's

then tbo situation mlg|it become- a se
rious ono for the state.
SHORT TALKS
WITH .MAW PEOPLE].
“Yes," sild Mr. C. J. Juh-in yesterday,
“I would not hare run • against Mr.
Walker, ns he is my warm personal
friend and one ofthe beat men I know,
but as bo resigned and the pojnmiUec*
put tne In hi place, I urn going Into
dm race and do nil I can for Macon.
I think there .» no necessity for chang
ing toe laws as they exist, hut 1 do be-
llove lit enforcing the law. 1 am glad
that the people are sates tied with the

"Macon Is not Itcblnd Montgomery
In her failure to |iay premium* won -it
her fair In fltll, ’ said Mr. J.or.ng
Brown, toe well-known poultry man
yesterday. "I went over there and
took a number of prem ums. but they
have not paid thorn and I don't know
that I will receive any piWiuns at
all. I’m off to Nashville lobight, how
over, to another poultry Khow, tiut there
I am to he one of toe Judges."
"I've sent off a number of letters to
passenger agents uBking for rated on
our Western trip," sad Sergt. T. F.
P-irokloy of tho Volunteers yesterday.
“We’re going to take that trip and will
take In Niagara Falls, Now York city,
Chicago, O nclnnatl and ill of the prin
cipal Hist era and Western elties. We
will advertise Maeou nil over the coun
try by giving the boy* tho pleaaimest

business."
THE NIClUtiAGUA SCHEME.
Tl\c WasU'ugton dlsiiatches ind.ento
that a determined effort will bo tnado
at this short session of congress to se
cure from tho United States treasury
tho money to build llte NlosngnA cm
nal. No direct appropriation will he
souglit, but tlio effect is tbs satuo It
the government) guarantees bouds of
tho company, binding Itself to pay
principal and Interest. It la this which
the company seeks to tvnvo tho govern
ment do.
There Is no question lhat tho build
ing of too <umil Is a work of great lm
porta nee, nor that Its opening would
bo greatly IgaWteM to tito commerce
of tho United States, and particularly
to ttuit of tho Southern states. Its com
struetton is thcreYoro very much to bo
dcslrsd. hut It la very much to bo ques-
t oned iwliutlier congress !s Justillcd In
lond'ng either tho money or tlio credit
of tiio people to pay fbr Its construe
lion. Exportanco In tho conatructlon
of tho raclflo ra’lreuds Is pretty good
proof that tlio government* would never
get Its money liack, but that the profits
of too enterprise would go to the pri
vate Incorporators. In onr opinion, die
canal ought to bo built either by pri
vate person* ns a money making enter
prise, out of their onvn resources, or tt
ought to tie built wholly by tho govern
moot. Tho first plan Is very much to
lie preYerred, oven though too cost be
greater, as tt Is sold tt would be. Tho
advantage* to bo gained by private
ownership would more Hum offset this
tncreasrtl rest. But If the uuv.nj caa
not be ol>talced by prlvoto petrous to
build the canal, and It Is absolutely nec
essary that tt bo tmllt, as many people
contend, theu tt should bo unttortakeu
by tho government as a public work.
The govwnmoat then inlgiit lose some
thing through tho ineompotoncy or dis-
tnanay >Y Its own servants, but at
least It would lifttv complete ownership
and control of the ptoiwty and .would
not be subject to loss from tho sharp
practices that bare resulted la the loss
of pracfmlly aU the money Invested
by tt In the bulkllng of tho Fac-lla
roads. There are difficulties ;n the
way cY carrying out to’s plan ss well as
the other, bnt they are not Insuptrable.
It Is possible that Mr. Reuben K.
Kolb may get himself and some of his
followers Into serious trouble :t he
keeps on In tho way he is now acting.
He pretends to be govw.or do Jure of
too state of Alai'sma. atxl In b’s proc-
lamatioo to tho porplo of that state,
Issued a day or two since, bo advises
them not to pay Unir taxes to too util-
dais of too refulnr govennneat. It

the Telegraph.
The Telegraph -has received the fol
lowing IKJter from one of its oldest
subscribers. He cannot do without toe
paper, though he thought he oould
tor about fifteen minutes. But there to
muai beside this Mr. Prices's let
ter toot mokes it very .valuable read
ing matter for toe public:
Clayton, Ala., Nov. 30, 1834.—Editor
Dally Telegraph: Inclosed please find
check for $5 aubocafptlbn for your pa
per to January, 1835, with re request
that you cease to send it to me after
tfnat date. I regret very much to
give up toe "Telegraph," for 1 have
been Its friend for nearly half a cen
tury, ft has samu* been a welcome
vtoloor to my tlresld'.-, unil eagerly J-,X 1,1
by my ftimlly, but toe tifiitness of t'.-.e
times admonishes me to the necesuaty
of cutting my expenses, and hence we
must sepurahe.
In Che year 18J1 my step-father,, Jdhn
Bryun, settled new -mnere Fort Valley
Is' situated and wow a subscriber of
the Mesjnnger, Simri Ibikfa paper,
for w number of years; In fact, I be
lieve ur»«l too "Messenger" wua
merged into the “Telegraph.'' The
poetoffioe «.t Fort Vla'.ley was then kept
by J»mes A. Everett, three miles
from It* present JoesuUon, on the Knox
ville road. Subsequently a couple of
gentemnn ffiom tlhe North. Jn partner-
ship with James A. Everett, built a
store' llknud ok a cross mads, moved
toe postofflee tmd it still retained Its
name Fort Valley. These kinds around
FV>« Valley oouM be bought (203 1-2
acres In lot) tor n pony horse, a yoke
of oxen, or 840 tn ohdh ret that time,
But 4t was only a rthlort tome before
these kinds aMnalotpd retitenCion, and
rapidly settled by South CUPOlhii n-rls-
itoeracy. There wae mot « pigmy
among fbem. All of them fully
grown, and permit me to say, without
dlspasuigement to any seotfon, toils
wires certainly Che grjuvdeet, morally,
BOcfAlly and polstllaally. WHh sudh
men an EdgwofCh, Hampton, Slappey,
Frederich, Rumph, Holllnshflvd, Bry
an, and a host of adhere to manufact
ure a 'ill direct public sentiment, Influ
enced by good and patriotic mothers,
this motion than never retrograded,
but has pursued a steady, and unob
structed march to prosperity. Tho
influence of these good and noble men
(•mind's out In Wold relief, today unim
paired by time and wkll live and be
tranunYittod to future generations.
The greatest financial crisis ever ex-
prleneed came upon thlB country 4n 1837,
and continued for several yeoau. It
is true It brought no suffering mTth it.
Atrtougih we 'had no money, but we had
plenty to -live on-tbome-mtule. Your

Chartered the Central brenk arid Issued
blits of credit, but with all Uhls, back

shade's, .toe note* of the bank were at
a cflscount of 40 per cerit. We wero
Indulgent towards each other, no leg-
isla.rton, and what seemed at first to
be a eatamity, a -irtlsfortune was a
blessing in disguise. I sold In your
town to JOhn B. Ross In toe year 1842
live bales of <xl'it,si at '34 cents JJer

out. -add tthen took toe balance In de
