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.' i City j when white men punished other white 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. TUB NEWS HAS REACHED SB- t* lilt ASK A. /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. pSnKE I CONVICT-MADE BRICK MAY BE FREELY USED for arbitration.’ In the meantime, how ever.

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. vlll 1 Other, i amatl «( [ at him < i our old friend General about It?

There Atcaiai Lumpkin Holds the Atlanta lance to Be Invalid —Sara Can Be Discrimination No Class ot Labor. 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 THE CHILD REA'S PARADISE” Mothers have no cnoip to worry nt MILES STANDISII SPUING HOTEL, South Duxtmry, Man.

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.

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.

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. 5* TOPICS OF TUB TIRES # * Wheeling Telegraph: Joe Chamber- lain haa undertaken a more mighty war upon America than tho on# waged In South Africa.

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 worship* of Oermany.

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 th- —- source.
