The Evening Post is not ao abusive

suppose that the "fundamental
doctrine of this democracy" to which
the Evening post especially refers la
tho assertion In the Declaration of In
dependence that all men are born free
nnd equal. Hut in view of certain his
tortcal facts it seems doubtful whether
Jefferson, a slave holding Virginia gen*
tleman, meant as much by that expres
sion as some In our time hava sup*
posed. What ho had in mind w*as the
truth that tho colonists were or should
be equal In all political rights to th
Drltlsh people themselves. He could
hardly liavb had Irf view the negroei
and the Indians. At any rate negro
slavery continued for nearly a hundred
yean after tho famous words were
written, nnd during the same hundred
years the Indians wore steadily chase*
across the continent and made to aur
render all but a few acres of their one
mighty domain.
The universal equality doctrine wa
one of word*, npt of fact. From th
landing of the pilgrims down the white
of America noted on the principle
that this la a white man's country, and
1 tho that principle was not departed from.
» now until th\J dnys of "reconstruction.'

name man by putting black men over them.
The enme old principle has governed
in Hawaii uni the Philippines, both of
which have b* cr. made white man's
country, although the whites are only
a, handful The real "fundamental'’
| doctrine, therefore, was that this was
i and Ih to be a white man’s country.
| The movement in the direction of th*
| r« i»< al of the fifteenth amendment aim*
ply Implies recognition that w.tne of
the nutlonnl legislation at the close of
I the civil war was hasty. Unadvised,
uneatltfactory In remits, and therefore
! ought to revised or removed from
tho statute books. Ily the repeal of
the fifteenth amendment the central
j government would simply no longer at
tempt to Interfere, nnd would return
to the etaton their original right to reg
ulate the franchise within their own
| border*. Instead of a renunciation of
! fundamental doctrine, therefore. It
would really be a return to first prlnd-
j plea. And the negroes themselves
would V>e the better off tn tho end.

/lienees of a shaking up in the
itic party, and its Inevitable
drift away from the’ populism of the
t eight or ten years, are causing
Me mbit dissuasion »m°ng West-
Populists, as well as among ftemo-
m'and Republicans all over the
intry. The leading exponent in the
at of the third party movement now
sing away, Is the Nebraska Inde
pendent It does not like the signs of
the times and sounds a warning:
Even here in Nebraska within the post
month the Independent has heard a num
ber of men express themselves as favor
ing tbs nomination of Cleveland—men who
In ISM and IW> rent the air with shout*
for Bryan and 1« to 1. Others were fear
ful that Cleveland himself might be prej
udicial to success, but that some man of
his selection would be the proper thing—
If we want to win.' And therein lies the
danger.' It Is difficult to know how many
others there are who have more discre
tion and do not proclaim their view# from
the housetop*. Men who never 'under
stood, or cared to understand, the reforms
demanded by the new Democracy tn 18M
and 1900, nevertheless gave hearty support
to Bryan—because they believed he could
win. And Bryen having been defeated
twice, they ore ready to try *ome other
platform apd some other candidate In
the hope that the change might bring
success."
Bo the "new Democracy*’ even in
Bryan’s home is becoming tainted with
the desire to return to the old Democ
racy! Jfow sad this la! The Indepen
dent concludes, after noting these
things that whether or not Cleveland
shall lead the Democratic boats next
year. It Is clear that the Demorrat* are
tired of their alliance with the Popu
lists, and it warn* Its fellow* to pre
pare fer the worst It says:
With such a favorable beginning of
Cleveland's boom. It stands tho Pnputlats
of the United mates in nano to brush up
their organisation a Uttle and be reidy
for the fray. They can provide a homo
for men who want neither Cleveland nor
Roosevelt, nor the plutccrstic principle*
they repre*cnt."
The position taken In 1IW was that
the "new Democracy,’’ about which
Mr. Bryan had much to fay, was not
only a rechrlstenlng, but u reburnlng
ot a party which died with Andrew
Jackson (who by the way was a "go d-
bug;" he was called the "gold-hum
bug,'' which waa contracted into "gold-
bug.”) But the "new Democracy" ha*
run Its course, and the Independent
sees it. The effort to rehabilitate the
Populist party as a separa.o organisa
tion will likewise fall. There has nev
er been room In this country for three
great political partita There will be
no "home," or asylum, for those who
do not like either tho Republican or
Democratic parties; but there la al
ways the cave of Adullam for certain
small classes of discontents. The Pop
ulists of the country have already gone
back to the old partlee-some to the
Democratic party, and some ta the Re
publican party, according to their for
mer alignment* The most of them In
the West will vote with the Republicans
next year, and practically all of them
in the Bouth will vots the Democratic
ticket.

THE DYING REPORTS ABOUT GEN.
WHEELER.
New Orleans Picayune.
The lying reports that have been cir
culated through the press of the North
ern states concerning the treatment
accorded Gen. Wheeler during the re
cent Confederate reunion in this city
were evidently Intended to do harm,and
there seems t6 be n«> question that
they heve produced a bad effect.
It wa* stated that Gen. Wheeler, who
had been a gallant cavalry leader In tho
Confederate army, and who had been a
major general of cavalry In the United
States army In the war with Spain,
and Is now a general officer on the re
tired lift, had appeared among hls Con-
rederate compatriots In this city, clsd
In hls federal military uniform, and
that he had been snubbed nnd slighted
on nil hands and had particularly been
refused the privilege of rld'ng In the
Confederate parade on Friday, May 22.
The only fact tn the statement men
tioned ts that Gen. Wheeler was In the
city at the time of the Confederate pa
rade. nnd that he did not ride In It
The lies are that the general appeared
In the United Mates uniform or in any
military garb whatever, or that he waa
ever snubbed or slighted at arty time or
by any persons in New Orleans.
The fact remains that on the eve
ning of Thursday, May 21. the night
before the parade, Oen. Wheeler was
an honored guest of*the reunion copv
mlttee, nt a dinner given to Gen. (Jor
don nnd other distinguished Confeder
ate chiefs. Gen. Gordon was absent
on account of Illness, but some half a
hundred other prominent Confederate
general* were present, with Gen.
Wheeler at the left of the presiding
committeeman, and the commanding
general, represented by Gen, Stephen
D. Lee at hls right, Gen. Wheeler was
the recipient of universal attention.

<1 SEASON.
Nutlonnl Provlsloner
•eat season for “hen
fruit.” This popular and nutrlclous
food qf high value has not only been
In denmnd on account of high price*
of meats of all kinds, but it has also
been In evidence. In the more northern
latitudes the egg season Is on from
April 1 to July. With us In Georgia It
begins usually a month earlier. ’
Is the season of the hen's greatest pro
ductivity. The farmer*’ bam yafd Is
a noisy locality. During this period,
observe# the Provlsloner, the fresh
meal limn la heard to constantly com
plain that "the meat business Is rotten.'
The eggs are. however, fresh and th*
most numerous. The dullness In th<
fresh-meat line Is the r-sult of the o*i
and meat compel lion for th* table. Th
poultry product wins and gives eym
pathetic tone to the ham and bacon
market, as ham or 1 aeon and egga
tsavel together or In omelette form
a breakfast food. The extent of the
spring competition of egg* with fret*h
meats may be gauged by the fact that
from about the middle of March until
June ll'there ara about 710,100,000 i
handled dally by the Jobbers of (he
United ptales. For the season ot nine
ty days named that would amount to
ISO,000,000 eggs. The egg* season fur-

ness ot their blow aa compared with the
egg competition of Lent. Cold storage
has been responsible for the alt-the-

ATLANTA. June 1.—In the early part
of this yea* the city of Atlanta adopted
an ordinance prohibiting the use of
material produced in whole or in part
by convict labor from being used in
the construction of public works or by
the city in any of its departments. The
ordinance declared that no such ma
terial should be used in the construc
tion of public works; that Is to *ay 4
in the erection of sewers, sidewalks,
streets, or public buildings, or In the
operation of such departments, and
thus ostracized the use of lumber, coal,
brick and all other’ building material
produced In whole or In part by convict
labor. The ordinance declared that all
contracts made by the city should have
such a provision engrafted therein ns
would prevent the use of such mate
rial and provided that any contractor
or any official of the city who entered
Into a contract for the use of such
material should be punished by fine or
Imprlsonement in the discretion of the
recorder.
The city of Atlanta advertised for
bids for furnishing brick to repair side
walks and the advertisement made no
mention of convict material. The Chat
tahoochee Brick company made a bid
for the work, and tho committee of the
city council, finding that It waa the best
and loweat bid for the material, ac
cepted It, and this action of the com
mittee waa subsequently ratified by the
mayor and council'and approved by
the mayor.
The Chattahooche Brick company ten
dered bond and offered to sign a con
tract, but the city of Atlanta declined
to enter into the contract unless it wus
stipulated therein that no convict made
material should be used. The Chatta
hoochee Brick company insisted on
making the contract, but objected to
that clause prohibiting the use of con
vict material, and thereupon the mayor
declined to make the contract, putting
hls refusal entirely on the ground that
there wa* an existing ordinance prohib
iting the use ot convict material, and

CITY AND COt'NTY PROPERTY,
To the Editor of The Telegraph: The
people of Macon do not pay over sixty
cent of the state and county taxes.
Th* book will show that of the number
of property owners In Bibb county
considerably more than one-half live
outside of the city. Not a single cor
poration, factory, or Industry ie re
turned In East Macon, Ylnevlll*. or
Godfrey district They are all put
down aa In the city. All ot th* bank-
lg capital la credited to the city. Many
lock holders live In the suburbs.
If all the property owners would re
turn their city property on one blank,
nd their country property on another
blank, the footings would show the ex
act ;
tut.
The manufacturing Industries In the
Godfrey district form a *r»*at part of
the active energy and growth of Ma
con (so-called). They are as much entl
tied to have the streets and roads lead
ing to their property worked as era
the Hill people to have College street
worked.
'Instead of discussing the chalngang
business, why not have the law chang
ed. nnd have the road commissioner*
elected by the people, same aa other of
ficers. and require them to have all the
streets and roads worked without pref
erence aa to time end place. The city

on the board of road commissioners.

private reception* and waa at the height
of popularity and favor.
During the carnival season last wfn-
ter Gen. Wheeler was In tha city. Pub
lic and private hospitality were show
ered upon him. and, he waa specially
dined by a number of prominent Con
federates. lie wns also an honored
guest at a dinner given by citizens to
Admiral fichloy and Col. McClure of
Philadelphia.
It appears to hava been a sheer mat
ter of accident that the general was
not assigned a place in the parade. He
waa not connec'ed with any of the
camps, a fact whlcfi doubtless caused
hls name to be overlooked in making up
the programme of the occasion. It la
greatly to bo tor retted that this acci
dent occurred, ns some malicious per
sons In .»*>- • ..ting th* fact with a lot
of shameful fabrications have sought to
make it appear that Home sectional pre
judice waa at work In the matter. Many
people would believe tho falsehood In
preference to th# truth, under the cir
cumstance. and thereby not only is a
great injustice done to Gen. Wheeler,
who Is in every way persona grata In
this city, but a serious reflection Is
thrown upon the management of the
Confederate reunion here. It la a great
misfortune that at auch a time the
•lightest foundation of fact had fur
nished the sectional liars upon which
they hava built their fabrication.

THE Vi:\E2lKI.AN PROI1I.ER.
To the ERtcr of the Telegraph:
Kindly answer the following questions:
1. What wae the cause or causes of
the recent troubtes in Venezuela?
2. What nations were involved and
how?
3. What has been th# outcome?
4. Ie the matter fully adjusted?
C. W. OIDPRNB.
Oiina. Ga.
By way of answering the foregoing,
we offer the fo'lowlng:
First—The cause of the troubles In
Venezuela, presuming that ypu refer
to that country's conflict with Euro
pean powers rather than the revolu
tionary movement, grows oqt of the
fact that dtlaens of the foreign coun-
trka were unable to collect money
wed them by citizens of Veneaue’a.
and the former therefore appealed to
their respective governments for aid.
Second—The nations involved were
Germany. Oreat Britain and Italy, to
gether with Denmark. Russia, France.
Spain and Austria. The three nations
first mentioned having the larger debt
blockaded the Venezuelan ports.
Third—Tha United States government
waa fortunate In having at Caracas as
Its minister Mr. Bowen, who tendered
hta good offices to adjust the difficulty.
Our state department assented to thl*.
lie at once became a plenipotentiary
on behalf of Venesuela and while the

and Italy were swinging at their an
chor* in the Venezuelan harbors main
tain! 'r the blockade he came to Wash
ington. where he met the authorised
reprceentauve* vi all the European
governments. There'would have been,
probably, a very easy settlement ol
the matter Involved had It not been fo-
the fart that Germany, Great Britain
that effect In every contract for public
work, and stating that It waa tfie in
tention of the mayor to enforce the
ordinance. Th* Chattahoochee Brick
company then through Ellis. Wlmblsh
St Kills, and Bponcer R. Atkinson, at
torneys. filed a bill tn the superior court
of Fulton County, against the city of
Atlanta, alleging that it was a corpor
ation under the laws of Gcorgl
full power to contract: that its prin
cipal office and place of bus
the city of Atlanta; that It owns real
and personal property In the city of
Atlanta; that It pay* taxes on real nnd
personal property to the city of At
lanta and pays for a license from the
city of Atlanta to do buslnea* therein;
that under the statutes of Georgia It
Is a leasee of convicts, and thnt
convicts had been and are still
ployed In the manufacture of brick;
that such brick art of kind and quality
suitable for th* construction of streets,
•ewers nnd sidewalks In the city of At
lanta: that It had furnished heretofore
such material to the city in large quan
tities. and that Its bid was the
and best bid. and that th
of the city of Atlanta prohibiting the
use of convict material shut It and other
producers of brick out of competition
and that all producers of coal, lumber,
brick and other material In whole or tn
part were prohibited from contracting
with th# city and from bidding
public work. It alleged that thl# tend
ed to and did defeat competition
Increased the burden of taxation upon
It and other tax pnyei
It also contended that the city was
bound undtT Its charter to let out pub
lic work to such bidders as would fur
nish the cheapest and best material.
Irrespective of whether It waa produc
ed by convict labor, free labor or any
other kind of labor ;that the state had
enacted laws for the working of con-
vlctz by private persons or corporation*
at the business of brickmaking and
lumber producing and coal mining and
that to prohibit the use of auch materi
al was contrary to law in that It de
stroyed to some extent the power of
lessees to dispose of material produced
by them, and therefore waa a direct In
vasion of the rights of such* lesiees
and was in contravention of the policy
of the state and particularly of Us
laws In reference to the disposition of
convicts, and tended to deprive the
typo- state of Its legitimate revenue from
