Who have, taking the circle of th.

haa been the herveet. From the Poto
mac to the Rio Qrande thara haa been
no climatic rigor for a year and a day.
The orchards have been fruitful. The
gardens have yielded plentifully. The
cotton crop haa been magnificent. It
haa In fine, been a year marked by the
benlson of the Almighty.
Not only have the crops been superb
• In quantity, but the prices have been
far above the cost of production. Thou-
aanda many thousands, have been ex
tricated from debt Next spring It wilt
have been forty even years since the
civil war closed. Within that period
the South haa had to struggle against
calamitous political conditions. The
nitnhood of the Southern people ha.
triumphed most gloriously. The men
who fought for the Confederacy, Im-
jioverlahed after Appomattox, held true
t„ their faith In the land. Tha plow
cams as handy to them as tha muaket.
Repressing their grief, they raised their
faces to the aun-llt future. They stirred
the soil. They opened the mines. They
felled the timber. They built the rail-
, roads. They raised a wondrous Indus
trial empire from the ashes of war.
Now they have eome Into their re-
'ward—the reward of Industry, of faith
and of hope.
The sky Is Interlaced by the plumee
of smoke-stacks. Whet haa been done
. signifies the! more la to be done, a
1 thousand-fold.
Men and brethren of the South, let
us give thanks today. Not since the
rumble of the artillery left no echo has
there been eucb a time for rejoicing.

AFTER DINNER REVELATION8
Republican Jubilee banqueta ere the

and there can be no objection In such
hippy feasts per ee. It la noticeable,
however, that the utterances at seme
<>r these feasts are not ea guarded as
they would have hern before the elec
tion. At a dinner given by the New
York Chamber ot Commerce leat week,
t. r exaaaple. Secretary Shnw Hid:

Ono gathers from this that the Im

Another remarkable utterance at an
other one of these Jubilee dinners,
which la said to have given the ora
tors hearer, -intense delight," wee as
displayed in nil U
trav* ranee of type and ‘good hlsc
for which Mr. Hearsi'a paper* nr« Justly
celebrated, may be seen the answer of
Judge Parker. An an aid to the proper
dissemination of the reply, the Judge is
represented shouting through a mega
phone these vordu: "Can tha trusts pur
chase the election?" The Telegraph was
wrong; The American did not suppress
the Democratic nominee's statement.
However, the following Tuesday the vot
ers relegated the whole affair to the realm
of history books. But The Telegraph
should apologize.
Tha Telegraph referred to this mat
ter twice, and both times It stated dis
tinctly that the edition of the Americnn
"which came to Georgia" did net con
tain Judge Parker's speech, and that
waa a fact Thinking possibly that a
page, or a section, had been lost out
of the paper which came to the Tele
graph office, a careful Inspect’on was
made at the news stands In Macon,
and It was found thnt none of them
contained the speech. The Telegraph
has since learned, however, from
member of the American staff, thnt
the Georgia edition went to press I be
fore the Judge's speech could be ob
tained. Nevertheless It waa printed
in the other New York papers that
came by the same mall. We accept the
statement made that it wns printed
In other editions of the American.

Some may be disposed to question
the propriety of a president of the
United States appearing In an official
capacity at a function of any particu
lar church organization, because our
government recognises no particular
church and grants all churches the
freeat opportunity to carry out their
policies. Rut we put such a ourstlon
aside, and merely wish to observe that
the sentiment quoted above may well
be faken to heart by tha organs cf
the triumphant Republican party.
8uch orgons at the present time
could well afford to ragard the defeat-
el opposition ''with a broad and kindly
charity," especially the opposition
party as found In the South where It
la weighed down by a local problem so
serious that any rsnt ami lasting solu
tion stems utterly removed beyond the
bounds of possibility. Rut Instead ot
thla “broad and kindly charity" we ob
serve too often the reverse thereof, a
more Intolerant spirit being apparent
In many Instances than waa noticeitbi*
even before the election. Instead of
broad and kindly charity" there Is a
disposition, to kick a man the harder
when he la down. Here la the Phila
delphia Press, for example, howling
luattly over "the sweeping and sys
tematic suppression of the suffrage by
which a whole rare la disfranchised in
etsven stats*!"
Fortunately the Routh still haa
friends beyond Its own borders, and the
Philadelphia Record la prompt to give
the lie to this wilful slander. “Tha
truth Is," says ths Record, “thnt In
these states a whole rare la not sys
tematically disfranchised. On the con
trary, every negro in the Houth who
ran read hla ballot and pay the poll
tax Imposed upon white voters la en
titled to the suffrage. Moreover, th<
white people of the South are under
going very considerable burdena o
taxation In order to educate the n*
gross and thus qualify them for the
political duties of rltlaens”
What grieves the Republican point

goes on pointedly to remark, “Is th

thinking, are already calling for one
to take the reins who haa been tried
and found to be a failure, or another
who has not been tried except In the
field of eenaattonal newspaper adven
ture. They proceed upon the theory
that the Democratic party ta done for,
a proposition which they scouted four
and eight years ago, after signal de
feats.
It is not true, however, that the re-*
cent defeat of the Democratic party
waa the most disastrous In the history
of American politics. It was only four
teen years ago. when the Democratic
party won a more signal triumph
than did the Republicans this year.
In the*good year of 1890 the Republi
cans carried three states only east of
the Mississippi river. The Democrat
ic majority In congress that year was
mors than double the entire Republi
can membership, the latter electing
only 88 members of the house. The
Democrats carried New York, New Jer
sey, Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Rhode Islaflff, New
Hampshire, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio,
Illinois, Iowa, and Minnesota. The
Popullnt carried Nebraska and Kansas.
Maryland, West Virginia and Missouri
went with the solid South.
Did the Republicans “reorganize"
and recall discredited leadera? They
stuck to their “principle*," knowing
that republics are fickle—and—and the
"cat came back!"
But tills Is not all of post bellum
political history. In 1872 the Republi
can candidate for president got 286
electoral votes (when there were not ao
many vo*ea In the electoral college aa
now), and there were 63 scattering
votes cast for Democrats, Greeley hav
ing died before the electoral college
tnet. And yet, four yoars later under
the leadership of Tlldsn. the Demo
crats carried the country* By a theft
of three Southern states, however, a
majority of one for Hayes was forced
by an electoral commission.
The only question now pertinent Is.

one of her own for president, or shall
things rock along? There Is time to
consider with caution.
