DO NOT FAIL TO VOTE.
The election today In Sfnron will bo
A very quiet one. TbSro 1b only ono

small probability of a full vote being

Another reason Why a ful> voto should

public dal5t to continue—tho Democratic
party nvlll have received another tre
mendous blow, from which It will And
It ha rd to rally.
Wo see liy ono of our exchanges that
some coDgrcwmen are expressing great
Indignation bccanso tho president has
told some of his Intimate friends that
unless a currency bill Is passed ait this
session bo will call together tho next
congress In extra session to provide for
tho emergency. Ho ’b threatening con
gress, they say; trying to bulldoze it
into accepting bis plan, llut sensible
pooplo, not affected with a blind hos
tility -to iMr. Cleveland, will bo apt to
see In bis intention to call congress to
gether only tho purpoeo to put a stop
to tho process that Is rapidly increasing
the publ'o debt without doing anybody
any good. Tbcso indignant gentlemen
are probably among the persons who
object to any chsngo of tho laws ex
cept tho enactment of & free silver
law, and who are furious wllli the
president for Issuing bonds, because by
Issuing them ho has prevented tho cur
rency of tho country from going to the
silver basis. But as the country has
not declared la-favor of free silver,
oml the laws command tho president
to maintain tho equality of the d'ffer-
ent kinds of currency, there Is no Just
causa for their Indignation. They
ought not to expect to secure so tre
mendous a change In the financial pol
icy of tho country without) having
gained tho consent of the people to
ibat change. If it were to come as the
result of a failure of tho president to
do h's duty under the thws, ho would
not only bo guilty of an unpardonable
crime against tho welfare of his fellow-
o'tlzcn, but of an offense against his
oath of offloe.
BE REASONABLE.

Thd dlapatelio* yesterday reported
that a million and a half dollars In gold
havo bora engaged for export today.
Tills gold Is taken directly from tho
treasury, Into which the last payments
of gold raised by tho lesno at bonds
havo but Just (icon paid. Tho trans
action ts therefore a striking Illustra
tion of tho process that has been going
on now for a year or two, anti that has
done much to intensity bus'nesa dis
tress. Tho government, In order to
protect tho.currency from depreciation,
uses its credit to put gold Into tho
tretkury, to be used In redeeming that
currency on demand. Tho demand 1»
made, notes taken In and gold paid
out, aad Immediately, under the «ynt-
pulston of law, tho cotes are again paid
out by the treasury, to bo used again
In drawing out gold for export. It t*
a process that can go on lodefln'.tely.
It Trill go on Just aa long as there is a

United States, balance of trade against
us, or a redtmdancy of money from

it Is In the face of a situation like
this that, the Washington correspon
dents soy, congress will (to nothing
with the currency qurerUon-—wtU allow
the gorommaat to remain in its present
helpless oondWoo, forced to provide
gold for tho use of exportora, and tn
doing so to increase its debt, or elm
to allow its different kinds of money
to part oompany. It la very bard to
belters that a congress mads up of sen
sible men, however they nuty differ as
to what la the ideal system of eurreoay,
will permit the present intolerably bad
system to continue In force. The plan
submitted by Presidreft Cleveland may
cot be perfect. We do not think that
it ka. But it offers a bads on which a
good law can bo quickly built up, If
our cocgroesmon will earnestly set
about tho work. If they fall to do this

About 1878 'Mr. Richard P. Bland be
gan to bo prominent os an Advocate of
tho free coinage of sliver. Two years
lator tho compromise law was passed,
hearing h'a name, under which four
hundred million silver dollars wore
coined. In all these years tbat have
Intervened Sir. Bland lias been known
by tho country only through his prom-
Inenco In tho effort to bring aliout free
coinage. He ts everywhere recognized
as tho author of tho free silver move
ment, bb the most prominent man con-
heated with it, And ns a thoroughly hon
est and alblo man. In tho elect'ons this
fall ho was opposed by tin anti-freo
coinage 'Republican and badly beaten.
Ills district, after supporting him by
largo majjorit'es for twenty years, grew
tired of him, or his theory—It docs not
matter which. Thn prominent faot Is
that tho leader of tha free coinage
movement, tn s d'strict which ho had
represented for twenty years, which
had always given him large majorities,
was defeated by & omul Id ate opposed
to the views which were supposed Uf
make him slreng with the people. But
die change has not affected tile conduct
of Mr. ltlaud. He Is bnok In Washing
ton, beginning tils service In tho last
three months' term wh'ch he wilt know
for some time to come, and Is at work
again on the old lines, trying to Induce
the coinage oommLttloo to iimiHullatcly
raport to tho houso a bill requiring the
free colilhge of silver at tho 10 to 1
ratio. He knows perfectly well that
such a report would bo useless—that
Urn bill could not become a law; but
halving devoted twenty years of Ills life
to -tho riding of his bobby and realizing
that whntovor of famo he has attained-
ts due to tho persistency and aggres
siveness with which ho bus forced this
hobby on tho attention of tho country,
ho refuses In tho faco of defeat and
repudiation, even by his own district,
to abandon It
Nobody wffl question the fact that
Mr. Btaud Is an honest anil earnest
man, but ho Is no longer a useful man.
Having devoted his whole Ufa to the
pursuit of a single purpose, ho Una lost
alt sonso of proportion. Ho does not
realize that what was reasonable in
1870 may t>© visionary In ISM. Ho re
fuses to realize- that conditions have
changed during that long period, and
is therefore no longer worthy of trust
a* a legislator. If -Mr. Bland and those
who havo co-operated -with him had
boon willing to accept tho facta of tho
situation, Instead of devoting tliem-
selves to a single purpose which was
obnoxious to n majorityof tho pooplo of
tho country, they might) have done
much to prevent tho evils of legisla
tion on tha currency question from
which the country suffers; but because
they could net get what they wanted,
they hare refused to ooneeut to any
other reform. It Is to bo hoped, for tho
sake of tho country, that tho lessons
of tho last elcottwis will not bo lost
upon others, as they were upon Mr.
Bland. If meu so radical control tha
polloy of congress, or oven are a form-
tdabto minority in it. they will be able
to prevent valuable Kw-larion and per
mit the present wretched currency sys
tem to remain intact What is wanted
to congress Is a tUspnptUoa to do the very
best thing possible under tho circum
stances, U each faction is determined
that no change shall bo mails except
precisely tho change -wiuoh ft desires,
then no change at all will be made, and
tho people in New York and abroad
who want to pot the'.r Idle money in
United States bonds will continue to
have an opportunity to do so about
every six months.
WIDE OUT AND START OYEB.
It seems tBat the Lexonr InvnrilgattOu
will go on forever, and that Mr. Goff
will oooUnne to unearth evidence of
most astonishing corruption on the part
of tha police officials of Now York.
When too itrrcstUptCon began, it was
with too utmost difficulty that anything
seriously compromising these officials
could bo d'seoverod. The witnesses
were cautious and apparently Mr. Goff
could only get bold of the men who
knew least of what had been going on.
But now It seems easy enough to prove
tho rascality of any man on the force.
Every day facta are brought out that
a fow mouths ago would bare excited
a tremendous sensation, but now they
go almost unnoticed. So much 'has
boon discovered that ts bad that the
capacity of people to bo ostoulshod
seems to be exhausted. If tho courts
set out to puntah all tho men guilty of
trafficking In crime, they will have a
tremendous Job, and If New York Is
to bo reformed by employing these
same men to enforce fho law, tho prob-
ob'llty to that tho reform will not
amount to much. Tho new mayor
would do welt to como as near wiping
out and starting over new as ho can.

over 5-oofft cotton, but wo ought not
to feel os bad as we do. The purchas
ing power of money today Is much
greater than It was when cotton sold
at 8 or 10 oants. Tho fact of the whole
business Is, a pound of cotton today will

without hesitation or equivocation that

Why, every train that passes Macon
going South, Is literally crowded with
tourists from the North, who ore en

travel via the Southern may be la a

The Chinese emperor speaks
"Little Japan,” aad the phrase Is not
an uncommon one In this country, but
as a nutter of fact Japan Is otft an es
pecially tittle one among the nations
of_the earth, either In area or popula
tion. The area of Japan Is 1A7.C35 square
mil's, vvlilch Is 27.000 square miles
larger than that of the United King
dom. There are tl.000,000 people subject
to the mikado, against 3S.000.000 In the
United Kingdom, taking the largest
census returns in both cases. Japan’s
population I* - larger than that of Italy
by fully 10,000,000, while her area is
17.000 square miles greater. No one
speaks at Italy as "Little Italy,” al
though she Is not nearly bo populous
as Japan. Japan has nearly tea times
tlie area, and twenty times the popula
tion uf Denmark. Japan it not a IttUe
country, save as compared with the
unwieldy masses of the Chinese em
pire. or with the giant United States.
She proved herself big enough to hold
her own in a fight even with the giant.
