Strikers do not go in Albany and those who attempt it are more than likely to go. THIRD PARTY PLATFORM. There is nothing to be said about the Third Party platform. The country is familiar with it. It is th- platform that was adopt ed at St. Louis last February with a few verbal changes, and the omission of the plank that demands “that the government issue legal tender, notes and pay the union soldier the difference jetween the price of the depreci ated money in which he was paid and gold.” There were some who denied that this latter plank was a part of the St. Louis plat form, hut it was sent out by the Associated Press as a part of it, It, does not appear in the Omaha jlatform. It is noticeable that the plat form has nothing to say about lessening the burden of the tariff taxes, nor does it contain any reference to the Force Bill. Its main features are demands that the coinage of silver shall be free, that there shall be an increase in the volume of the currency shall he issued .by the government without the use of banking cor porations at a tax not to exceed 2 percent, and that the government shall own the railroad, telegraph and telephone lines. The platform is not one that will stand discussion and is not likely to meet with favor from any considerable number of peo ple in any part of the country.— Savannah-News. The city has beep highly com plimented for the quick disposi tion made of the strikers. The way to make progress for ward is to elect Ben Russell con gressman from this district. YouR.uncle Whiskers Winter, of Thomasville, is a back number in the present campaign. * The Republican protection and Pinkerton’s men seems to have played havoc at Carnegie’s works. Tammany has decided to “Cleve” to “Steve” in the present cam paign, and Harrison will have to go- When everybody finds out how to pronounce Candidate Steven son’s front name the campaign can proceed with safety. Congressman . Ben E. Russell sounds very nice to everybody except Clam Stevens and a few of his disgrunted followers. _ J. L. Hall, one oi the editors of the People’s Economist, now; poses as a Democratic candidate for Congress in Thomas county, Hon, W. E. Wooten, our next Senator, is one of Georgia’s grandest young men and Dough erty county-is justly and pardon ably proud of him. The , braying of the ass who edits the Thomasville News lias ceased to have any effect on the people in the present' Congres sional campaign. The people, by their votes, are the proper ones to* settle the Court House and jail questions. Have an election to determine the matter. HON. E. R. JONES. Hon. E. R. Jones, who has been nominated for the House from Albany needs a society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. There is many a poor dumb ani mal that such a society could look after that now receives cruel treatment. . Hon. Ben E. Russell has got himself fairly and squarely in the race for Congress and is doing some hard work for victory. He has been our acquaintance and friend from young manhood and has always proven himself a true man in every sense of the word. •He says he is inihe race until the flag is demanded of him by “abler and more gallant hands/’ There are few' “abler” and none “more gallant” hands than his in the district. He has ever been the champion of true and unadulter ated Democracy, and would make the abler’ and better Congressman of the two avowed candidates.— Tiffcn Gazette. The Jacksonville Evening Tel egram is a very pretty and newsy paper. The Homestead riots have considerably, strenthened Cleve land’s already strong chances for election. The Macon Telegraph is stil hewing to the line. Macon is blessed in having such a paper to push her interests. It is to he hoped that Igqatis Donnelly will not drag the Shake- speare-Bacon controversy into the People’s party campaign. Editor Pendleton of the Val dosta JTimes is a Democrat pure and simple. His trenchant pen is ever at work for the success of the party of his forefathers. Editor Richardson of the Columbus Enquirer-Sun is ho fool. Hear his prophecy: The Third party will havest a very small vote .in Georgia next November. The smaller the bet ter.

He entered the prac tice of law, at once in Albany, and has since gone straight to the ixontat the bar. He is a young man of studious habits, is an ag gressive fighter, and a remarkable ready debater. He took great interest in the literary societies of the university and was one of its most popular students. He will make himself heard from as a member of the house. Dougher ty has made a wise selection for its senator and representative.— Atlanta Constitution. The Eatonton Messenger though edited by Wakefield on the inside, gets there just the same. Its editor is a hustler. • « - The Atlanta Journal is ever to. the front in every good move. It is a wonderful paper and has worked wonders for Atlanta. Editor Winter of Thomas ville, is a gohd newspaper man, and his friends regret exceeding ly that he has got into the wrong box. The Augusta papers are calm and serene, now that the pro hibition campaign is oyer. They are both good papers and can af ford to be serene. The Augusta Chronicle is still being published in Augusta. It got disappointed in its advocacy of Mr. Hill, since then however it is working for Democracy. The Savannah Morning News very appropriately comes under the head of the old reliable. Its editor is about the only editor that we know of that was stingy enough to get rich. 1' The Athen’s Banner don’t show up at this office nowadays. Pre sumably it is busily engaged in some prohibition campaign, in which event it is excusable. We hope to get it when the campaign is over. The Ft. Gaines Weakly Heralt came to us this week enclosed in a green wrapper. However its pages were brimming full ofin- teresting reading matter demon strating the fact that its editor was not green. to be Sam Whitmire is said again at work on the Brunswick Times. Sam began to again go up the hill after his speech at the Georgia Chautauqua on “Press Day” in 1891. You can’t keep a newspaper man down. What is in a name? Home stead !

We are amazed to observe our esteemed contemporary, the Al bany (Ga.) News & Advertiser gfavely considering- the eating and sleeping question on the very threshold of the campaign.—In dianapolis News. Our excellent contemporary cannot deny the fact that the. questions are worth consideration, especially that of eating. Men on such live papers as the News and the News & Advertiser very rarely ever sleep. If our friend will come down we "will consider a huge melon with him, the feast to be supplemented with other choice fruits and—well, come down and see. I thought I heard her sigh again . . Close to my listening ear: I thought I felt her sigh again As in the old days dear; thought I see her stand again As in the years long flown, And lay her gentle hand again So fondly in mine own— So fondly in mine own again, So fondly in mine own. I thought I heard her sing again Amidst the ivy bower; Her sweet voice bro’t a throng again Of mem’ries with Its power. I thought 1 heard her tread again The path we loved the best; I thought I felt her head again Drop on my heart to rest— c Laid fondly on my heart again, Laid on my heart to rest. The old days come to me again With all their tender might; The moon hangs o'er the sea again And floods the tide with light— Yale! Alas, alone again, I walk along the piers; The storm winds sadly moan again, STy heart is filled with tears— My face is wet with tears again, My eyes are dim with tears. THE FLIRT. Flirts are born, not made. The girl baby with flirty instincts in all probability makes eyes at her father before she realizes their re lationship, and from the time she is old enough to talk and toddle has admirers by the score, whom she likes, as a matter of course, while her actions to the demure 1 ittle body with perhaps one shy adorer seems most reprehensible. She need not he in the least heart- ess in order to gain the reputation of being’an arrant coquette who enjoys leading men on by the sweetness of her smiles, only to cast them off for a newer, and fresher conquest. The manufac tured article is the one to be avoided. The counterfeit, who wil fully plays one man against another to furthur her own ends; is as base as base can be, and “flirt” is entirely too mild a name for a woman who so far forgets herself and another’s feelings as to stoop to such a course of action. But the bright, winsome little creature who receives all homage as her due, walks in the morning with one man, rides in the after noon with another, and dances in the evening with a third, is only a popular girl who cannot, to, save her soul, prevent her eyes looking unutterable things and her voice taking on the enticing bewitching accents men find so irresistible. She will probably do the same thing after she is married as well as before, because it is born in her yet she need not be the least bit heartless, or frivolous. She sim ply cannot help her nature, and is bound to be charming to the opposite sex whether she wills it or not. Very dangerous are these natural flirts, and very, winsome. Man condemns yet cannot resist. He knows she does not care the snap <?1 her finger for him; it is only her way, yet that way.is more altogether desirable than the unwavering-pronounced affection of any other woman. Such a girl never loves deeply; she is too much for the multitude to center her attention for any great length of time on any one object. Yet she is the one to make the best match, to gain the regard of the noblest man and to keep it, too,, notwithstanding he knows he is married to a genuine, out-and-out flirt, who looks at others in exactly the same adora ble manner that makes him her lnost humble slave. The flirt of this type rarely compromises her self by any action not absolutely straightforward and for the world to see, therefore her husband can trust her, though he notes the at tention she receivss, for he knows it is not the tete-a-tete^ style of coquetry, hut that of the throng that gives her pleasure. One- man would bore where many de light, therefore he can smile and be certain that if there had not been something about him super ior to the others she would not have consented to marry him. Let him not question what it is, but be content that the woman accustomed to admiration from her cradle has consented to hear his name, preside over his home with her own sweet grace and go on receiving -adoration until death puts an end to the game.
