ANOTHER PERIOD OF McKINLEY
ANT) HANNA.
Last week’s election doomed the
country to four years more of McKin
ley and Hanna. Only the South and
two or three of the smaller Western
States proved loyal to the cause of
Democracy, nticl even Maryland gave
her electoral vote to McKinley and
Roosevelt.
Not only have the Republicans won
the Presidency, but they have made
such gains in the Senate and House
as to put them In control of both
branches of Congress. According to
the dual returns the next Senate will
contain 1!) Republicans, 27 Democrats
and 0 independents, with three doubt-
full States to hoar from. Returns
from 321 of the 350 Congressional dis
tricts show that the Republicans will
have 178 members in the House, the
Democrats 140, the FuslonlHts 1, the
Silverites 1, and the Populists 1.
The only consoling Incident of the
campaign, from the Democratic point
of view, is the redemption of Kentucky
from Republican rule; but the sat
isfaction afforded by this result Is
marred In part by the loss of Mr.
Bryan’s own State (Nebraska.) ’•
the Republicans.
Mr, Bryan mndo a gallant fight,
and, while he hue probably loBt
prestige ns a parly leader, by reason
9f his successive defdHts for the Pres
idency, ho is too big a mnn to be bur
ied even by such a cataclysm as fell
upon him lust week. He will contin
ue to be a potential force In national
politics, and may yot be the Moses
that will bo chosen to lead his party
out of the wilderness,
While all Democrats feel keenly the
disappointment and humiliation of
defeat, they ennnot afford to surren
der. Four yenrs is a rather long
stretch, to be sure, and another pe
riod of Republican misrule will be a
severe tax upon the patience nnd for
titude of the American people; but It
Is a long lano that has no turning,
and we should look hopefully to the
future. Tho billons carpers who af
fect to consttue the election event
as an Indication of Democratic disin
tegration reckon blindly and without
reason. The principles upon which
the party bases I s claims to public
confidence are aH sound as the doc-
D inu of Christianity, and as strong>as
’Gibralter. That wo have suffered
temporary defeat, upon Issues only
partly understood by the people, and
more or less confused by distracting
^complications, Is no evidenco of In
herent weakness Defeat has been
tho experience of nil reform move
ments, nnd is an experience that will
be repented over and over so long as
political parties exist.
No; the Democratic party is not
“dead.” It has Just commenced to
live.
THE NEW CENSUS
The ofilcinl report of the new cen
sus for Georgia has been given out by
the Census Bureau. The figures are
printed by counties, and also by towns
of 2,000 population and over. The
report-shows that Coweta county bas
a total population of 24,980, and the
city of Newnnn 8,054—a gain of 2,626
for the county, and of 814 for tho
town, since the ccubus of 1890. The
total figures for the Fourth Congres-
Hioual district are as follows:
COUNTIES. 1890. 1900.
Carroll 22,301 20,570
Chattahoochee .. 4,902 6,790

Burke, Bartow, Qreeue, Ilaucoock,
Harris, Jefferson, Oglethorpe nnd Pu
laski counties each lose one Represen
tative, and Berrien, Elbert, Emanuel,
Laurens, Lowndes, Tattnall, Thomas
and Screven gain one Representative
each.
We are not in sympathy with the
bill introduced iu the House last Mon
day by Representative B. S. Miller,
of Muscogee, the purport of t^liich is
to disbar from the public schools the
children of parents who have failed to
pay their poll tax. This, of course,
is a hit at the negro, but it may
prove, if enacted, a boomerang polit
ically. We do not like the spirit of
the bill—it is narrow; we do not ap
prove its probable effect—it would in
crease our illiterate and purchasable
vote. Further than this, it punishes
the innocent. If it be desirable to
change our present school laws, sure
ly a better bill on different grounds
can be enacted.
