In'r of counties arc now well organized

of tho responsibility that rests npnu you.

Let me hear from you. ■**

Secretary.
Chairman Atkinson does not exagger
ate the Importance of prompt anil en
ergetic action oa the part of the repra-
aentaUrea of Ibu Democratic party.
It is true that a great majority of the
white people in tho statu am Demo
crats, but their party is not well or
ganize,L In very many counties them
can hardly bo said to bo an organ!-
nation at all.
During tho last ten or fifteen years
the want of cloaa organisation he a not
been fell. Thera was practically no
opposition to tho party. But there hat
been a great change la the situation.
The Democratic party hna opposition
of n very serious kind. In almost ev
ery militia district the third party
is thoroughly organised. On a certain
class of our pcoplo it hat secured n
very firm hobL Its strength is already
formidable, and It will grow rapidly If
the Democratic party remains Inert,
trusting to win through its prestige,
Without effort.
Disripliua always tells. II the bat-
Ua of next November finds the present
conditions in Georgia unchanged, one
aid* thoroughly organised, full of ener
gy, well led, and the other without ef
fective organisation, the victory may
bo with the party which though fas
tho weaker yet took the trouble \o
develop Its wbolo strength.
A telegram from Omaha to the Phil
adelphia l’rrsa indicates the plan of
campaign which tho third party has
adopted. It says: * 6 •
The moat Important action ot tho
People's party baa escaped publicity un
til now. Th* naliuual committee la
composed of three member* from each
state. An executive aeaaiou of Urn
committee was held tbs last thing be
fore the general scattering. At thia
session the attitude of the party toward
the negro vole was thoroughly discuss
ed. Southern members of tho commit
tee led off. Tbs Nortliuraers fell In
arith the common sentiment and pledged
their support to tho proposition ad
vanced by their brethren. The propo
sition was uuthiag less than that the
oegroea shall vat# at the coming deo-
lion and shall have their votes counted.
Committeemen spoke from all of the
Southern state*. One after another—
from Mississippi. Alabama, Georgia,
Louisiana, tho Carolines and Florida-
said that th* oegroea had not lim-n al
lowed to vote for yean. They de-
Ha red that If the negroes wen assured
suffrage they would vote the People’s
party ticket. They sold the sympa
thies of tho negroes were naturally
With the movement and that gratitude
to the people who restored to them suf
frage would prompt them to vote fur
Weaver and Field. From the stand
points of abstract right and practical
politics lb* Southern committeemen de
clared for a fun negro vote.
"Wo will vote the negroes. W# can
handt* them, because w* have dose H
before and know how. W# will nee
that the vote* when cut art counted,”
they said.
And tho Northern committeemen re
plied: "Go ahead." It was agreed
unanimously by the committee that
shortly, at the proper time, a derlara-
tk* AaUbt issued sad copiau of it shall
**• distributed throughout the Booth.
• These eirenter* will inform the negroes
( **«*7Wbera that th* People's party tee
tend* they shall vote and hare their
vote* counted.
The circular If issued sill not he
put in the hands of ererybody. Perhaps
no Democrat will receive a copy. It
will lie intended fer negroes, and the
negroes, if they go off into tho third
party, will understand that they are
aiding in an effort to destroy tho white
man'* party of the South.
The effort to use the negroes to gain
control of the state nnd country can
not mu ye cl |f the leaders of the
Democratic party, those whose
duly it is to see that the parly is ready
to meet its enemies exert themselves as
they should do and arouse in Dctno-
crnls a sense of their danger. There
ought to be n Democratic club in
every district to oppose tho Influence of
those enemies of the party who are
working in the dark.
A large majority of Democrats favor
th* free coinage of silver. Possibly a ma
jority of them nre even At favor of tak
ing the risks involved in an attempt
by the Hulled States uloue to re-estab
lish silver in its ohl relations with gold.
But, whether willing or not for ihe ex
periment proposed by the Stewart bill
to be utude, we ure sure a majority feel
relieved that that mcaiure has been
killed by the Democratic house, lle-
joicing in the defeat ef the Stewart bill
la not incompatible with an earnest de
sire that the cotenge of silver shall to
made free or even with a complete ap
proval of the bill in question.
The passage of tl)e bill by the honse
did not mean that it would become a
law and that tho country would hare
free coinage. On the contrary it was
known to.every member of the house
that the passage of the bill would
bring free coinage no nearer 5 that the
president waited eagerly for an op
portunity to veto it, knowing that the
veto would greatly Increaao hit chances
of being re-elected. Tho only possible
effect of passing the bill, therefore,
would hare been to broaden tho field
of controversy between the two par-
tie* in the npproachlng election, forc
ing the Democratic party to occupy
gronnd deliberately avoided by its con
vention at Chicago and on which the
Eastern wing of the party will refuse
io stand. This would certainly have
been bad generalship. Involving very
groat danger, U not tho certainty ef
defeat
It la notorious that on the silver ques
tion the Demoeratio party la badly di
vided, It cannot hope, therefore, to
win the election on that Isaac. There
are other and greater issues on which
it la thoroughly united and on which It
can win. Why, therefor*, should Dem
ocrats In congrats push tho silver is
sue to tho front endangering tha ane-
cesa of the party, obscuring the tariff
and force bill Issues and damaging Ihe
•ilrer cause Itself by strengthening the
Re publican party? We think the expla
nation is In the fact that certain mem
ber* have been ao greatly frightened
by tbo free coinage cTamor that they
are no longer free to act In the beet in
terest of the party and the country.
They nre demoralised, and in tho fear
of losing their own seats consent that
a policy be adopted which they know
must damage the party. Even these
gentlemen will fed better, we think,
now that the party is relieved of tho
danger they brought upon It. a. *

nnwladom of the free coinage experi

The McKinley law protects American
ben* by taxing foreign egg* 5 cent*
dozen. There wan a very considerable
cackle of delight when this protection
was accorded, and the Republican pa-
pern proved by elaborate calculations
that several million dollars would be
•ared to the American people every
year by the exclusion from our markets
of the eggs of Canada'* pauper bens
But, surprising to say, there la cack
ling now on the other side of tbo line
because the Canadian government hat
imposed a duty of 0 cents a dozen on
tha egg* of the pauper 'hen* of the
United State*. Th* Canadian*, too,
will grow rich by shutting out the prod
uct* of cheap hen labor.
It Is to be supposed that the bens, or
hen owners, on both aides are now hap
py; bnt It must seem strange to the ore
dinary citizen, unlearned In the science
of profitable hen culture, that both Ca
nadian and American hens nevd pro
tection from each other. If they be
longed to the fighting branch of the
family, the wisdom of setting up *n b"
rermounlabi* harrier between them
might be admitted by those who do not
bdi‘'ve that cock fihting is refined and
enjoyabl* sport; but they do not. They
do not want to fight, and neither is ac
cused of anything more aerioua than the
ability to lay cheaper eggs than the
other. But both can't be guilty, nnd
It is evident that either the Canadian
parliament or the American congrcM
hna made a serious mistake. We sug-
««d au international rummtenlui-, node

of the border the pauper bens live on.

ter than was possible for almost any
other man of his time. Ilia style as a

better than that of auy other man
who write* for the political press, nnd
hin vigor. Independence and devotion to
high ideals in public life bad gained him
a largo following among the best < lam
es </ American citizens, lie was not a
gainful politician, nud bin mistakes
sometimes hurt the cause of which he
was the moat powerful advocate; hut
they were the mistake* of a man who
loved principle and hated trickery and
did not lower him in the estimation of
those whose esteem he valued most.
No political party could ever have
ccpted Mr. Curtis as its leader, hut
when be hat passed away the country
will value more highly than dnriug ala

Mugwump. There is so much of

that tho high-minded, unselfish idealist

If the anti-option bill becomes u law
it will prohibit optiou dealings in cettet
and wheat. It will not interfere, bow
ever, ou the cotton exchange with deal
ing in options in case* of calicoes the
name ua raw cotton ia now dealt iu,
and as each ease of cnlicoes will rep
resent a bale of cotton, cotton can be
received on a cash basis at the matu
rity of contract* iu payment therefor.
On the produce exchange hay can he
dealt In in options, which repre-* uU
one of our largest crop* in this country,
and ten bale* of bay ran represent ten
bushel* of wheat iu value. As the law
permits wheat beiug dealt in on a cash
basis only, wheat ran be received in
payment to provide for the maturity of
the hay contract. This method will
also be In conformity with tho spirit of
reciprocity in trade which is now very
much In favor by oar government.
In the event of the anti-option bill
passing and becoming a law, which ia
doubtful.because although it may and
probably will pass the aenato, the presi
dent will be very suro to send it to the
attorney general to determine tho con
stitutionality of the measure, and of
oourao, he cannot fail to decide it to la-
unconstitutional, and for that reason
the president will be nnaMe to affix his
signature, and if tho friends of ihe hill

llur»«*a Tougii*.
From the Philadelphia Preee.
One of the most peculiar veterinary
emu* which probubly haa ercr oc-
curred, happened yesterday In Manuy-
unk. It waa due to the bad temper of
a ha muonic sorrel bora* Udougiug |o
George C. Bowker. This animal wnn
xtabh-d with uuothcr one, th«* projNTty
of F. Reichnrt, of No. 4rW7 Slain street,
and has nevor hpfora shown any vi-
pious disposition.
Ypstenisy Bowksr's horso was fad a
littlr sooner than Rviehart's, and the
latter be|ia to reach over the ntanxt*r
and U«-k the other. Tlila seeunsl to
enrage the other auimal, for be sudden
ly seized the other's tongue, nAd *av-
arely biting IL tore off alszut three
iu.be* of it; at the same lime keeping
bold of it and pulling at it with bull
deg tenacity.
When he waa finally driven off. the
unfortunate vi,-tint's tongue waa found
to be ao torn nt the root that no skill
on the part of the veterinary surgeon
roidd do snything for the snimsl. ne
will have to be killed. The horse ran-
nob eat. and it Is prohnlde tlml the
wound has been poisoned in the reinNsI,
so that blood |s>iiu,ninc might ensue
even If it Were possible to treat the
wounded mouth.
The ilortor sold that no rase of n

has always hitherto been of the lest
