protectionists will hardly recognize

It has come to tiiat pass in Georgia
politics that when the people of the
State take matters into their own

latter raise the pitiful howl of “intol

How the Tariff Works.
There is nobody in this country who
does not daily pay tribute to the pro
tected Industries. The amount which
the tariff allows the manufacturer to
add to the cost of his goods or wares
all comes out of the consumer, and
goes, not into thq Government Treas
ury, but Into the coffers of the govern
ment protected manufacturer. Here is
a list of some of the many “protected”
articles, with the amount of tax Im
posed. Look it over and see ho
much you are paying yearly Into the
coffeis of the “infant industries:”

Col. Walsh as a Martyr to Intoler
ance.
It ill becomes Col. Patrick Walsh to
talk about “intolerance” In the Demo
cratic party In Georgia. In the guber
natorial convention of 1880 he was the
recognized floor leader of the Colquitt
faction, which had a good majority iu
the convention, but could not nominate
their man uuder the two-thirds role,
which had been adopted. A more in
tolerant, uncompromising and dicta
torial leader than Col. Walsh proved to
be on that occasion never led any
party or faction in Georgia. It was
his dictatorial, domineering spirit that
made the minority so stubborn, and
that “weTl-stay-he^e-till-Chri8tIIla8 ,
speech of his i that made Colquitt’s
nomination by ^hat convention Impos
sible. The result is well known and
remembered by the people of Georgia.
Under the leadership of Col. Walsh,
the majority broke up the convention,
or adjourned it, without making u
nomination. It came near disrupting
the Democratic party in Georgia, and
there are thousands of as good Demo
crats as Col. Walsh in the State to-day
who don’t feel entirely reconciled over
that outrage yet.
Col. Walsh bad to take some of his
own medicine at the recent State Dem
ocratic convention, and has been mak
ing wry faces and howling “intoler
ance” ever since. It looks very much
like he has been a boss In the politics
of the State so long that he has come
to think he has pre-empted rights as
a sort of dictator and slate maker, and
that it Is the height of impertineuce
and intolerance upon the part of the
l>eople to take their political affairs
into their own hands and run counter
to his dictum.
Col. Walsh knew that the people had
instructed their delegates to the late
State convention to accept no com
promise men or measures and to elect
well-known and straight out tariff re
formers only to the St. Louis conven
tion. Being out of line with the party
on the tariff, it was presumptuous upon
the part of Col. Walsh to submit a
platform embodying his own views
and to have his name presented to the
convention as a candidate for delegate
at large to the St. Louis convention;
for by so doiug he set himself up as a
bigger man, carrying more weight and
in flee nee, than the combined majority
of all the Democrats in Georgia. And
now, because the majority of the dele
gates didn’t disregard the positive in
structions of the people who sent them
to Atlanta, auu elect him, an avowed
protectionist, as a delegate at large to
the St. Louis convention, he raises the
cry of “intolerance” and is printing a
lot of Stuff in his paper that not only
the disaffected Democrats, but the Re
publicans, find much comfort in read
ing and passing round.
Col. Walsh lias been the recipient of
much taffy aud sympathy while posing
.as a martyr to the “intolerance” of the
Democracy of Georgia, but the News
and Advertiser has none to waste
upon him.
The Majority vs the Two-Thirds Rule.
The Valdosta Time* bring- up, In a
general way, an old question, and an
important one, which has not yet been
definitely or permanently settled in
the Second Congressional District.
The Times says:
Ever since the two-thirds rule broke
up the State Democratic Convention
in 1881, ana precipitated that fierce
family fight which has never yet been
fully aud amicably settled, the Times
has favored the majority rule for our
ty conventions. The two-thirds
rule has defeated more good men, and
nominated more men that nobody want-
wanted than all othercauses combined.
Since the memoral convention referred
to, our State conventions have always
adopted the majority rule, and our dis
trict and county conventions ought to
do likewise. Although long the rule
in the party the two-tainls rule Is un-
Democratie. The majority ought to
rule in the selection of candidates as
well as in aby thing else.
The News and Advertiser agrees
with the Times fully in la preference
for the majority rule, generally speak
ing. But the adoption of tlie majority
rule, by barely a majority vote, at the
last convention of the Second Con
gressional district, when the two-
thirds rule had previously obtained in
the district conventions, was the cause
of some dissatisfaction; and, with the
view ot avoiding any misunderstand
ing or dissatisfaction upon similar
grounds in the future, that convention,
after making its nomination, adopted
a resolution referring the question,
upon which it found itself divided, to
the people, and requesting them to
pass upon the question at their county
meetings to elect delegates to the next
Congressional convention.
It will be remembered that die com
mittee on rules, at tlie last convention,
divided, and a majority and a minority
report were submitted to the conven
tion. The majority report recommend
ing the majority rule was adopted, but
the convention then adopted the fol
lowing from the minority report:
That each county, composing the
Second Congressional District, iu se
lecting delegates to the convention to
assemble in 1888, be requested to ex
press its choice as between the major
ity and two-thirds rule, as a law gov
erning nominations by the Democratic
party of this district.
Betolved, Farther, that we recom
mend the permanent enforcement of
the rule, receiving the endorsement of
a majority of the counties as herein
provided.
Bosolved, Further, that .the District
Executive Committee be requested to
bring this matter to the attention of
the district in calling the next con
vention, and that the District Cora-
mitte recommend a day oil which action
shall be had in all the counties.
The News and advertiser repro
duces these resolutions from the pub
lished proceedings oi the last Congres
sional convention to remind the people
oi the district of the recommendations
which they contain. At will be an
easy matter for the people of the dis
trict to settle this question with refer
ence to the majority or the two-thirds
rule, for all time to come, by instruct
ing the delegates sent from.tlie counties
to the next convention. The present
seems to be a good time to settle it, too,
for there appears to be no contest in
the district tills year.'

Irregularity in
The people of Albany were agaiu
disappointed and inconvenienced, on
Sunday, by a failure to receive the At
lanta Constitution. While the great
newspaper is not their political guide,
yet Its crisp, newsy columns furuish
them entertainment, and even its edi
torials never fail to delight, even
though they do not convince.
Now, will our esteemed contempo
rary join the News and Advertiser
in effecting a remedy for these too fre
quent irregularities in the mails. In
quiry at this eud of the line Into their
cause discovered the fact that the fault
lies with the Superintendent of the
Mails .of this district, in falling to pro
vide against tlie contingency of a
delay of the Southwestern Extension
train from Blakely, which leaves tlie
train between Albany and Srnlthvllle
without a route agent to distribute
properly the pouches and their con
tents.
It would be a very easy and simple
matter to make provision against the
repetition of these irregularities, and
we trust that it will be done speedily.
The spring terms of the schools of
the city are drawing to a close. Tlu*
average attendance upon these schools
has been large and indicates the inter
est manifested in educational matters
by the citizens of Albany. A parent
should make every sacrifice necessary
to give his or her child every possible
advantage, and see that tlie child has
just appreciation of what he en
joys. An education is of more value
and more greatly to be desired than
gold. Itis something ot which the
vicissitudes of time can never deprive
one. Our people regard with pleas
ure the establishment of the Chautau
qua in their midst, as it will prove a
most powerful auxllliary to thejeduca-
tional influences already at work. It
will bring many children to attend our
schools, so that they can be in easy
reach of tlie assembly, and be enabled
to enjoy the privileges of attending.
The assembly will employ the very
best talent In teach! ug all the arts and
sciences, and bring Instructors here of
world-wide reputation. Our daught
ers can learn of the finest art teachers
and musical Instructors in the world.
The Chautauqua, therefore, will,
doubtless, build up the schools In this
city, and, perhaps-, justify the estab
lishment of a college here in a jew
years. Its influence for good cannot
be overestimated.

When the rupture comes and the

Alban}* has grown to be a very staid
and temperate town, though tall of
life, vim and bustle. In former years it
was a pretty, wild place, or rather, it
had that reputation, and like all new
towns in olden days, many tales were
told of its dissipation. “I think there
used to be something in the very air of
Albany which made a man thirsty,”
remarked a dignified citizen of Worth
county. “I never drink a drop of any
thing stronger than water op J»ere,’
he continued, “nor do I desire any
intoxicants, but upon my last visit to
Albany no sooner hail I crossed the
bridge over tlie Kiuchafoonee creek,
two miles away, than au uncontrollable
thirst came upon me that water could
not satisfy, and as soon as the train
stopped at Albany I made a bee line
for ‘Jake’s* ”—Atlanta Constitution.
Yes, neighbor, Albany deserves the
reputation she enjovs of being “staid
and temperatebut there was a time
in her history when such a charge
would have been repelled by a large
majority of her citizens, for it literally
enjoyed keeping up the reputation of
being a “pretty wild place.” Those
days are gone, we trust, never to
turn, but the old timers are full of their
recollections and beguile hours, when
they get together, In recalling reminis
cences of the olden time. The flower
of Southern chivalry inhabited tills re
gion; their fortunes were princely and
their entertainment was regal. It
but natural tfiatconvivial habits should
prevail among such jolly good fedows.
when their princely liberality yielded
to that of none. It followed as a con
sequence, that the most attractive and
elegant resorts should spring up in the
wake of such a shower of patronage,
and the “Sans Souci” and “Rialto”
had scarcely an equal in their finish
and elegaut appointments In the State.
It is well, though, that the world should
know* that things have changed with
Albany, and there is not a city of the
South with au equal population that
deserves a better reputation for
briety. The artesian water may have
had some influence in effecting the re
formation, tor they tell it on Albany
that a visitor from.Augusta once spent
a week here, before the artesian * wells
were bored, and, upon returning, be
gave a glowing account of the courte
sies of wli*ch lie had been the
cipient while here. Some one asked
him how was the water of Albany,
Well really,” replied he, “I did not
see any water while there, they drank
whisky.” Now, it might strain the
credulity of one to receive that if It bad
not been related oa an Augusta mau.
for they were about the only species of
the genus homo that could live a whole
week on whisky. Tlie News and
Advertiser will underwrite for the
sobriety of our young men of to-day,
who apply themselves energetically to
their business duties.

On tlie title page of that wonderful
modern novel, Ben-Hur, the distin-
guised Author, General Lew Wallace,
uses a quotation from Count de G a ba

philosophers always to look for natural
ciuses in all extraordinary events, aud
when such natural causesare wanting,
recur to God.”
In the course of an editorial address
ed to one which appeared in these col
umns on Sunday morning under the
heading, “Col. Walsh as a Martyr to
Intolerance,” the Atlanta Constitution
of yesterday says:
“It is significant that the News and Ad
vkbtisxb—then a bitter anti-Colquitt organ
—discloses the fact that Mr. Walsh was beat
en in the convention of this year largely to
prnish him for the stand he made for Sena
tor Colquitt in 1S80.
The News and Advertiser has
made no such “disclosure,” and denies
that such Is really the fact. We did
say, and now reiterate, that it ill be
comes oue who took the stand tiiat
Col. Walsh did in the Gubernatorial
convention of 1880 to say any tiling
about “intolerance” in the Democratic
party In connection with his defeat for
delegate at large in the recent conven
tion. Nobody that we know of want
ed to “punish” Col. Walsh at the re
cent Democratic convention. The
News and Advertiser certainly did
not, for it warned him and the balance
of the Protection contingent in Geor
gia, before the convention met, that
he would not be acceptable to a major
ity of the party a« a delegate to tlie
St. Louis convention, and put him on
notice that if he went before the cor
vent ion as a candidate he would be op
posed. But Mr. Walsh seemed
think that he was a bigger .man than
the party, and—vrejl, our amiable and
esteemed Atlanta contemporary knows
bow it is.
The periodical overflow of the Mis
sissippi bottom is causing untold suf
fering and loss of property. The fre
quent recurrence of these overflows
and the loss of life and property they
entail liave caused great sums of money
to be exhausted in fruitless efforts to
entirely prevent them. A suggestion
now comes that the tributaries of the
Misslppl be dammed up and a part ol
their waters turned into the desert
parts of the United States beyond the
Mississippi. This would prove a most
stupendous undertaking, but appears
to be feasible aud practical if au
amount of money will be appropriated
that would be required to accomplish it.
At Jackson, Miss., on Friday, Miss

on account of failing health, to be

its presentation was unexpected, as it

The fact that the Republican party

while in control of the government is
no reason why tlie Democrats should

short time back, iu commenting on the

doubts of the business judgment of
such a course. The great trouble with

without a knowledge of the principles
of a lightning conductor, or rod. But
then,when we consider that tlie nature
ot electricity was not known, cither, it
does not appear so strange. The phe
nomena aud effects -of lightning were

was known. It remained for the
American philosopher Franklin, to In
vent the lightning-rod. and now they
ate in universal use as protection
against thunderbolts. The' office of
the rod is to disarm a cloud ot its bolt
by attracting tlie electric current to
its point and silently discharging it
into tlie “earth.” It would doubtless
amuse Franklin if he could retnrn to
IfTe and see the various fanciful forms
into which rods are made. It would
alarm him, too, if he could see the
bungling jobs put up by dangerous ig
norance. It would amuse him, too, to
ride through this section and see a rod
on a hut that is so small that the light

Vice-Presidenqy, as before stated. As
to the future of the terminal company,
nothing positive is known, but various
surmises are afloat. From a &i>ecial to
the Atlanta Constitution from New
Yoik, we see that it is rumored that
the Louisville and Nashvill will join
the allianc, which has for Its ol jeet
policy of s mutual protection
from ruinous rate wars and useless
paralleling of lines. Tne Central’s
policy is not outlined, bnt it is not ex
pected to merge.
The Protectionists have commenced
to get an immense campaign fund to
gether. Their plan of operation is dis
closed by the Baltimore Sun. The Re
publican League of the United States
is the machine through which they are
working. Through 31 r. James P.
Foster, tlie President of the League, it
is sending out “confidential” letters to
the protected manufacturers, trusts,
pools, etc., calliug for liberal donations
of money toward a fund with which to
carry the next Presidential election.
The Protectionist millionaires are
asked to disgorge a i»art of their plun
der in order to keep the tariff taxes
up to the present notch. Along with
the confidential letter is sent a circular
showing that large sums have already
been contributed. Tims it appears
that the next fight is not t> be between
ballots and ballots, hutbetween ballots
and money. The Cleveland vote is to
be cut down,and Democratic Congress
men are to be defeated by the purchase
of votes. Such, it is said, is the
scheme. There is plenty of money to
put into it, but Cleveland’s supporters
are too numerous, it ia believed, to be
bought off with the funds available.
In answer to a query propounded
by our esteemed Camilla correspon
dent, we will say, without having ac-
to statistics from which to give
any accurate information, that the per
cent, of travel by railroads is largely
in excess of that by water. The in
terior intercourse of a people is much
greater than with other countries, es
pecially if they be separated by waters,
when distance, danger and want of
necessity all operate to limit travel.
In the second query, we would an
swer that the ordinary force employed
in the postal service of New York City
could not handle the accumulated mails
of two days, and inconvenience both to
the department and to the public must
result, unless extra and experienced
help be called iu. These answers,
though, are only our' opinion and are
not of any special value in determining
the questions.
