A MODERN DAVID.
Alton Rrookn Porker, candidate of
the Democratic party for president of
the United Stale., lo the boldeot lender
It two ovor had In campaign times. Ho
hae no nature of fear whatever. A man
Of personal rectitude, with ft clear
conscience and of profound conviction,
euro of hin principles and devout in hi .
cause, ho accepted the generalship and
went Into the buttle like Henry of
Navarre of old. Ill* plume hue shone
In the thickest of the flghL lie ordered
a charge In July end It wee "over the
enemy’e guns" Saturday night. Pan
oplied by hie felth and by hie honesty
of purpose, he has been absolutely fear-
leas. T-caving little lo others except
to follow and to aid he haa gone
airtight to the enemy'e center, thrown
down hie gago, and opened fire. No
waiting for the foe to approach. No
temporising., No evasion. No com
promise or explanation. He haa ac
complished n moat extraordinary thing.
He has forced his arrogant and confl-
dent opponent to take the defensive.
Win or lose Parker has proved hlmeclf
worthy of Ihe trust reposed In him hy
hi* party. Grandly hae he kept hie
pledge "to beard the lion In hie den, the
Douglas In hla hall."
And speaking of Ilona and warriors

Ninth district?
Win* It because Mr, Bell ha* a bard
flght there with hi* Republican oppo
nent, one A eh ley from Ohio?
Wa* It because also of the fact, that
It Is too lata for Democratic speakers
to follow on his trail?
Had It anything to do with the cir
culation there on .Saturday of two
mongrel ticket*, one headed with
Roosevelt and the Republican electors
at large, and the Popullat electors by
districts, and Ashley for congress; and
the other Watson's electoral ticket,
with Ashley for congress?
Did Mr. WAtson go there to help
Ashley Indirectly If not directly?
Which (did his assaults there on the
Democratic party, and his quasi Apol
ogies for Roosevelt, help most, Bell or
Ashley?
It will be remembered that there are
a great many while Republicans In the
mountain regions of the Ninth district.
There are a great many negroes In the
counties that are below the mountains.
Ther* are scattering Populists nil over
the district. A successful combination
of these elements w!ll Jeopardise the
election of the Df-mocratlc candidate.
Tho Democrats of the old lighting
Ninth need to get out early on Tues
day morning and keep un eye open all
day.
Meanwhile Democrats all over Geor
gia nhould examine their ballots care
fully before they are put In the box,
to see that they are voting the straight
Democratic electoral ticket. It does
not matter If the names of Parker and
Davis head the ticket, If their names
are followed by the Populist Hectors
the vole will be cast for Watson; If
followed by the Republican Hectors
the Vote will be cost for Roosevelt.
To vote for Parker and Davis one must
vote for the Democratic electors. Let
this be 'bourne in mind.

FAMOUS 8IEGE8.
The dispatches indicate thnt Port Ar

fall, If Indeed ths Japenone have not
secured triumphant possession ot the
fortress ere these linen are In print
The nuaslans have held out nobly In
this alege of nine months, for only a
Olhrnltnr rock cun hope to resist the
attack of modern engines of war for
any oxtenslve period. Tho Investment
of Port Arthur calls to mind the fa
mous sieges of history n few of which
are now receiving mention.
The longest siege known to histori
ans, notes tho Philadelphia Public
Ledger, “wan that of Aehdod by the
Egyptians. According to one authority
It Insted nineteen years. Another fixes
It at twenty-nine year*. Fabled Troy
was besieged for ten year*. Ths siege
of Jerusalem toy Titus, A. D. 70, though
not the longest, was the moet sangui
nary on record. Syracuse, 114 It. C..
held out against the Romans for three
years, and Carthage resisted them, 147
n. C., for two years. Famous among
sieges wns that of Parma, which capit
ulated In 1585 nfter a year’s Invest
ment* Cnndla. In Crete, surrendered to
the Turks In 1069. after a siege of
twenty-four years, during which, It Is
said, 200,000 were slain. Gibraltar
successfully resisted the Spaniards
nnd French from July If, 1770, to Feb
ruary 5, 170S."
Hevaatopol 1854-55, la particularly In
teresting among modorn sieges J>e»
cause, as tn tha case of Port Arthur,
the besieged were Russians, who sur
rendered aftOr 140 days. In the
American civil wnr, Vicksburg wns In
vested on May 10, 1881, and capit
ulated on the Fourth of July following.
The siege of Petersburg began July 11.
1114, nnd ended on April t, 1815. The
last notable siege previous to the In
vestment of Port Arthur was that of
Pari* during the franco-Prussian
war. The French capital held out for
111 days.

That is to say. every Republican of
fice holder who is struggling to sup
port a family on 11.000 a year. In spite
of the high price* for the necessaries
of life which the Republicans boast of
aa a part of the "prosperity" they have
given the country, must contribute 810

Impossible for him to give his wife
and children a few poor presents at
Christmas. No wonder some of these
luckiest office holders pay the tax not
appreciatively" but “begrudgingly,"
and even “defiantly" when exasperated
beyond endurance. Evidently office
holding under a Republican adminis
tration has its drawbacks, and some of
tho harried victims no doubt wish to
heaven that they occupied the Inde
pendent position of the “hayseed" who
follows a furrow behind a plough far
from the maddening cry of the Repub

One of,the fine result* hn* been the
reclamation of sedge land. When the

Plntbloom Resolutions.
To the Editor of the Macon Tele
graph: A great mating of the work
ing men's Parker and Davis club of
PJnebloom last night, denounced Tom
Watson us a political palter, who sold
the truth to serve the hour. The wage
earners of America were forced to vote
for McKinley In 1856 and 1900, because
Mr. Bryan's monetary system would
have placed their wives and children
on half rations, In the interest of silver
mine owners and bullion speculators,
but the famous message of Alton B.
Parker to the St. I.ouls convention
swept away that only barrier, and as
on© of that class I wish to say, that to
day the working men of America ought
to he unanimous for Parker nnd Davis.
If Mr. Watson was on honest Popu
list and a candidate for president of
the honest Popullstn of America, there
would be some honor attached to his
candidacy, hut everybody knows that
Tom Watson Is employed In the serv
ice of the deadliest enemy the Bouth-
ern people have had to deni with since
the execution of John Brown at Har
per's Ferry. Therefore no Intelligent
self-respecting Southern white man
will vote for T.om Watson on next
Tuesday. The only Influence that Mr.
Watson has been abel to display In his
present attitude has been furnished
him by Democratic newspapers which
Instead of denouncing him for what he
really Is, they Insist on pleading with
him to have mercy on the Democratic
party. And Just here I wish to say for
the benefit of such Southern editors as
have sized up their calibre by making
excuses for Mr. Watson and defend
ing the position he has seen fit to ac
cept, they should demonstrate the
courage of their convictions by placing
Roosevelt and Fnlrbunks at their mast
heads nnd cease their disrepute by
crouching beneath the great wing of
the Democratic eagle tn order to clip
her feathers. They should do thW es
pecially that their mothers, their sis
ters. their wives, nnd their daughters
at leant might know “where they are
at." J. 8. BURNS.

Watson's Case.
To the Editor of The Telegraph:
Frequently a man. may pnea through
life and no occasion arise In which he
discloses hts true ohoracter. But Tom
Watson has found his occasion. He
knows there le no possible chnnce for
him to get one electoral vote In tho
United States. Ho knows that his can-
dldncy cannot take votes from the Re
publican ticket, hut thnt It will take
them from the Democratic ticket, and
If enough votes were thus taken from
the Democratic ticket In the doubtful
states, hts candidacy would make
Roosevelt's election sure. He la then
running wholly In (he Interest of the
Republican party, nnd for the low and
sordid purpose of Indulging resontment
and revenge against ths Democratic
party.
The tenor of Wntaon'e speeches Is to
this effect: That there Is no difference
between Roosevelt and Parker; that
there Is no difference between Ihe re
publican and Democratic parties. It
would he a reflection upon the Intelli
gence of Tom Watson to regard this
assertion ns his honest opinion. What
an absurdity! Is there nn difference
between the pnrlles’thnt Roosevelt and
Tarker represent In rognrd to the so
cial equality of the' two races here nt
the Bouth? And how about the Iniqui
tous tariff that the Republican party
has saddled upon the country, the vast
surplus accruing from which It Is dif
ficult for the party In power to devise
ways and means to squander and get
rid of? And doe* IVatson not know
thnt under Democratic rule this tariff
would be revised and reduced, hut that
If the Republican party remain
power the tariff would nol Ire changed
except to make It more acceptable to
the corporations and trusts so as to en
able them lo swell lo grenter extent
their already plethoric coffers?
Rut does It not strike the mind of
every Intelligent Southern man ns per
fectly absurd to argue such a ques
tion ns lo whether the Democratic or
Republican party was more favorable
to the South?
Several thing* have occurred that
tended lo interfere with Democratic
success In the present presidential
race. There was Heflin'* Tuskegee
speech. Then there were Ihe numerous
lynching* here at the 8outh since the
presidential contest commenced. Tho
Republicans have made all they could
out of these unfoetunate affaire. But
these things resulted from the Impru
dence of Ill-advised men who did not
have any proper conception of what
Injury they were likely to Inflict upon
the Southern people by their uncalled-
for utterances and unjustifiable stt*.
But In Watson's case It Is quite differ
ent. He le acting “with malice afore
thought"—knows what he Is doing, and
ta seeking to Injure hln section and
that. too. from ihe most despicable and
sordid motives.

Ireland ha* been called by tome "a
country with a past"; but Mr. J. W.
Rolleston. the eminent Irish n.uthor and
politician, points out In an Interesting
arttete In Harper’s Weekly thut Ire
land Is "waking up"—that her people,
touched with the industrial spirit, are
today “building tho biggest ships, run
ning the largest roj»t-wcrka, brewing
the best stout ami whiskey, weaving
most of the flue linen of Europe, and
breaking fresh ground in th© direction
of the artistic handicrafts." Mr. Roll-
eaton believes that Ireland offers an un-
worked field for American business
enterprise.
Of the sum which had been Invested
In the world's railroads at the close
of 1903 U (s estimated, according to
the English Railway Magazine, that
more than £3.780.000.000 has been
spent on 184,000 miles of European
railroad and £3.232.000.000 on the 137,-
•00 miles owned by the reat of the
world. On this basis It Is found the
roads ot Europe represent an Invest
ment of £22,852 a mile, while those of
the rest of the world average £11.402.
Great Britain's railroads represent the
highest cost per mile, figures stand
Ing at £51.368. while those of Belgium
come next with £30.048.
Some reasonable and effective argu
ments on the subject of labor-unions
are contained In an article In Harper's
Weekly by Ralph M. Easley, chair
man of the executive council of tha
National Civic Federation. Mr. Easley
disputes the statement, recently made,
that the labor-union aa an Institution
“acts In no way as a spur, but tn -
thousand ways as an obstacle to the
development of the country along the
most scientific lints of economic ad
vancemcnt.*' Suppose, says Mr. Eas
ley, that tho methods used by
many writers nowadays In criticising
labor unions by singling out the faults
of organized labor were applied to oth
er social Institutions, what would be
the conclusion? "Only the other day
there was n hurry call for the police
reserves to a restaurant to prevent
students of Columbia University from
pounding one another Into InsensIbIM
ty during a class fight. . . . Is It
fnlr to single out such an instance and
to say that, therefore, higher educa
tion 'acts as an obstacle to the dcvel
