AS TO OCALAISM,
CART. H. IIOBI1M, CHAIRMAN OR
TUB CONGEEMMIONAL DISTRICT
DBIHOCRATIC conmiTEK,
Btritira Iho Mltnntlou in Rrplr to on
Ocaln Platform Democrat.
Totlio Editor of the Hovnld.
Last Tuesday’s issue of the News
and Advertiser contains a card from
my young friend, A. P. Vason, in
whloli he objects to the call wliloli I
issued to the Executive Committee of
this Congressional district. Mr. Va-
sou avows himself to be what is known
as an Ocala Democrat, and, having
done so, It Is not out of place to in
quire from what source this platform
sprang. j
We first heard of it about two years
ago when the Alliance fraternity met
at Ocaln, the ofllcers of that organi
zation presiding then at Ocala, "'here
are they to-day? The same men pre
sided nt St. Louis ami promulgated
the St. Louis plntform. And who are
the exponents of that, and what is
their avowed object? My youngfrlend
will permit me to refer him to the ut-
terings of Mrs. Lease, Hon. Jerry
Simpson, 'flips. E. Watson and Thos.
E. Winn. They are all Ocala Demo
crats, and breathe that atmosphere
fully. Hence it is necessary that we
should not longer lay supinely on our
baoks and see the time-honored party
of the South disrupted by its enemies.
In saying, this I must not be under
stood to sny that the men in our midst
who favor and support the Ocnln doc
trines in opposition to the regular
Democratic plntform, are not good and
true men. We simply sny they are
sndly mistaken, and if they.will look
at what the Ocnln plntform hns done
for us they will agree with us, unless
they ure blinded by prejudice.
But I claim that the him and object
of that platform was the disruption of
the Democratic party and policy. Its
authors were largely composed of men
and women antagonistic to the South.
Under it the Alliance of Georgia has
elected Tom Watson, Winn, etc., intro
duced to the public Mrs. Lease and
Sockless Jerry, elected Post to his
present position and created the Third
party, repudiating .in toto and in fact
Democracy. Under it also elected the
last Legislature of Georgia, and, al
though Mr. Vnsoti says that this or
ganization represents the wealth, in
telligence, virtue and industry of this
country, yet we cannot help some
times hanging our heads in.shame
when we study the record and pro
ceedings of that Legislature.
In calling the Executive Committee
together, I did so fully imUued with
the feeling that the welfare of our
party Is at stake; that the Alliance is
drifting to the Third Party, and that
wo cannot with safety allow them
longer to rule the destinies of this
country. This oommittee will not meet
with closed doors; it hns neither grip
nor password; you can look into their
faces in broad, open day, and see they
are Democrats, who work for naught
save Democracy, pure and unterrillcd.
There is plenty of room in the home
of the Democracy for opinions of nil
sorts—free silver, tnriff, etc.—tiint it is
not necessary to organize a new party
and platform to assert those vdews.
Hepudlate the party that seeks to de
stroy us, and let us as of yore pull to
gether long and steadily, and show
th " '
the enemies of your country that you
are the sons and daughters of the men
who stood with (as my friend cnlls
him) Tete, in.thc days that tried men’s
souls. Very respectfully,
R. Honns.
ON A HSlliei'H CIIAROE.
A Well Kuoiru Negro Preacher Ooei
to JTnils
From Thursday's Evening Heijalp.
Eev. B. J. Jenkins, a well known
Negro preacher, arrived in the city on
the 10:40 8., F. <fc W. train tills morn
ing, and was met and escorted to jail
by Oillcers Ealey and Barron.
He was arrested on a telegram from
the Sheriff of Brooks county, and is
now a prisoner held subject to the
duly constituted authorities of that
county.
Parson Jenkins's home is in Albany,
but his field of labor lies along the 8.,
F. <fc M. B’y., extending as far South
as Quitman, in Brooks county.
The orime with which lie is charged
is a serious one — especially for a
preacher—and criminally compromises
him with one of the sisters of his
fldck.
When arrested this morning the
parson didn’t appear to be much dis
turbed, and said there had been “some
talk” about him down at Quitman, but
he had thought the scandal had about
blown over.
THE NEGRO AS A MUSICIAN.
Has.it ever occurred to you that
every Negro, with now and then a
Tare exception, is a born musician?
Every little street arab and boot-black,
every live year old urchin, enn sing or
whistle every popular air, or play it
on a mouth organ or guitar. Their
whistling will put to shame a white
person’s efforts in that direction.
*We have all heard a chorus of Negro
voices singing on summer nights.
There is no finer music than can be
made by a half dozen rich Negro voices.
If Negroes' bad the proper musical
training, ten musical wonders would
develop where there is one now.
Nearly every Negro is a. natural mu
sician.
THE scnooi. CHART SWINDLE.
Dongbcrtr Conntv Not In It—Ciilihlilr
Worn Than Mluplilllr*
The expose of the swindle practiced
by enterprising ohart sellers on- the
Boards of Education of several Georgia
counties, through the cupidity of
County School Commissioners, In
Tuesday’s Constitution, will create
just indignation throughout the State.
We are glad to see that State School
Commissioner Bradwell is up in arms,
and trust that the bolts of his right
eous wrath will strike where the
wrong has been enacted—and strike
hard, too.
It is a difficult matter for some peo
ple to realize that the Boards of Edu
cation and County School Commis
sioners are trustees of the public
school fund for the benefit of the chil
dren of t|ie State, and not for pet
teachers and the horde of book agents
who freight the mails with lengthy
recitals of the multitudinous advant
ages of their scries of text books—the
best in the land.
Such evidences of corruption in
high places in Georgia must create a
wide-spread sorrow, and the duty de
volves upon the State School Commis
sioner to locate every county in which
tile frauds have been practiced, and
publish it—not suffering the general
clihrge of wrong doing to rest upon
tile whole State.
The Hebald, from a long and close
acquaintance of the School Commis
sioner of Dougherty county, Mr. J. S.
Davis, know that Dougherty county
could not be classed among those
which had been victimized, for the
Board of Education of Dougherty
county Is wise and conservative, and
Mr. Davis is a conscientious executive.
Investigation hns revealed the fact
tiint the Board of Education of Doughy
erty county, appreciating that n good
chart In the hands of a competent
teacher is a very valuable assistant,
plnced charts in the hands of the pub
lic school teachers last, season.. But
these were bought of V. E. Orr nt the
reasonable rate of $130 for fifteen
charts. So it will be seen that the
general accusation of fraud against
County Soliooi Commissioners mid
Boards of Education, published in yes
terday’s Constitution, does not apply
to this county.
Now, let whatever course tiint to
justice may appertain be vigorously
enforced by tile State Soliooi Commis
sioner. The liberal public provis
ion for the development of the educa
tional interest of the State is jeopard
ized through these frauds, for the peo
ple will not wish to appropriate
moneys'that" Vi re to "StT squandered.
Let every guilty man be removed from
office, for cupidity among County
School Commissioners is worse than
stupidity.

GEORGIA’S EMBARGO ON MONEV,
The clinging, close-fitting style of
dress is still to be worn, and the new
goods are to be soft, pliable and have
a glossy surface.
It is strange that the people of Geo
gin have not realized ere this that the
lame, tardy and altogether uncertain
collection lnws of the State oonspiro to
pince an embargo upon foreign capital
In search of safe investment,
A straight, honest and effective col
lection law, in lieu of the systeiji of
exemptions, dodges nnd obstructions
that have been enacted for tins benefit
of the debtor class- during the last,
twenty years would raise that em
bargo and give the people of Georgia
all tile money they need, and nt a rate
of interest that legitimate business en
terprise could afford to pay.
If we had good collection laws and
less exemptions, so that a man’s prop
erty would be liable for his debts,
money would seek investment here,
and competition would soon regulate
the rate of interest and'reduce it be
low anything that we have ever'knbwn
or that we may ever expect to see
under onr existing system.
The poor mail, the money borrower,
is tlie one who, of all others, ought to
want good collection laws. Under our,
present laws he cannot borrow money
on Ills land, Ills house nnd lot or nnv
other property that lie mny linve at n
living rate of interest; nnd when he
does borrow, and it comes to securing
the debt, he must go through n long
formula obligating himself to waive
the many opportunities that the laws
of tlie State hold out to him to net the
rascal.
No State or country can be truly
great or permanently prosperous with
out an honest system of collection
lnws. Nothing can be truer than tills.
Tlie law of God proclaims It, nnd the
history of the world throughout all
ages confirms it.
The policy of our State, ever since
the war, has been to enact lnws in
favor of tlie debtor and to abridge tlie
rights of the creditor. One exemption
Inw after nnother hns been placed upon
our statutes until it is actually humili
ating to an honest mnn to have to com
ply with the demands of a legal form
ula in making a creditor secure.
Under a straight, unreserved nnd
unoqdivocal* collection law, a mart
could always establish a credit in bank
or elsewhere to the extent of the value
ol his property, whether it he great or
small. •
How vastly different under tlie pres
ent laws of Georgia!
The Herald is reliably informed
that a great German syndicate has an
agency in New York for the purpose
of investing money in tlie better pay
ing American securities, but positive
instructions have been given not th
invest in Georgia, giving as a reasori
that our Legislature meets too often
nnd that all the flaws enacted in this
State favor the debtor.
We can never hope to have a supply
of money equal to the demands of our
growiiigState, and nta rate of interest
that legitimate business enterprise can
afford to pay, until we make It safe to
lend money in the State. The ten
dency of money, especially in lai’ge
amounts, is towards safety rather
than toward usurious rates of interest
that are mixed with uncertainty. How
much longer will the people of Geor
gia grope under the financial cloud
that is kept hanging over them by the
lame and iniquitous collection laws of
their State I
TRK EXPOSITION HULLS SENSA
TION - THE CONSTITUTION’S
VIEW OP IT.
Of the epiilemio reported to be prev
alent at the Exposition Mills, Atlnntn,
towliloh reference was made In the
Herald a few days ago, the Constitu
tion of yesterday says:
“Tlie Constitution is frank to sny It
is satisfied tlie reports were first pub-
- P
lislied With more than good motives,
but the danger and damage of careless
the less to bo
sensationalism is none
regretted,
“Naturally Atlnntn nnd her warm
hearted, charitable citizens r.re being
severely criticized, nnd the dnmngo to
tli '
the olty resulting from the sensational
reports, which have grown ns tliey go,
is not easy to estimate.”
Is It “careless sensationalism” to call
attention, in strongly denouncing
terms, to oases of extreme poverty that
exist under the very nose of n city?
Atlanta’s heart may lie “in the same
old place”—no doubt it is. But, her,
or any other city’s, ready response to
cnlls for relief of the poor, or for help
for tlie suffering, will not prevent
more poverty or suffering within her
gates. There, is much difference be
tween relieving suffering when papers
liavu taken a sensational view of it,
and; you are publicly to receive credit
for your'charlty, than to deny yourself
certain profits that your employes
may’have sufficient menus wherewith
to keep body and soul together and
lay away a hit for n rainy day besides.
Tlie oity in question is not to be
censured so much for tlie fact tiint) tlie
state ot affairs ns depicted in the Jour
nal now, or did, exist. Snob a state of
wretohedness enn come about without
public knowledge. But if, knowing
it, the citizens of Atlanta give them
selves one minute’s peace until there
lias been a complete change nt that
particular place, nnd nil future possi
bility of such nil occurrence be guard
ed ngninst, they are then to he cen
sured, and severely so.
Let the papers of the country give
sensational accounts of all such affairs;
indeed, make It -tragic, nnd “heap up
the agony” until men deny themselves
n certain per cent, of their profits nnd
give enough to their employes to pre-
•oiude the possibility, under ordinary
circumstances, of being overtaken by
snob dire misery ns evidently there
existed. Honor to the paper or the
person that espouses the cause of tlie
poor, even if it is at tlie expense of a
city’s damaged reputation.

The question of closing the World’s
Fair Exhibition on Sunday is not yet
settled. It greatly agitates the mind
of the church-going public. An inter
national committee of the Y. P. S. C.
E. met in Indianapolis the first iff the
week to devise a plan of action to ac
complish the end that the religious
societies are working for. Several
States had sent in letters recommend
ing a boycott of the Fair if the com
mission refused to close on Sunday.
This movement was considered inju
dicious. The question was thoroughly
discussed and a manifesto issued ur
ging ail members of that society to
work for the closing .offthe Fair on
Sundays.
This Cotton Exchange of St. Louis
has unanimously adopted resolutions
censuring the Department of Agricul
ture for sending out reports oversta
ting the quantity of surplus wheat and
cotton in the country, to the great de
triment of producers and the advan-,
tage of speculators. Congress Ib
asked to protect the people of this
country against the unwisdom, indis
cretion and general bumptiousness and
folly of Uncle Jerry’s Department.
There is no doubt that the country
would be better off without it. It is
an expensive mistake.
For the bill whioh passed the House
on Saturday last by a vote of 167 yeas
to 40 nays to put cotton bagging, cot
ton ties, cotton gins and band or hoop
iron for baling purposes on the free
list, the farmers of the country are in
debted to Congressman H. G. Turner.
The ties thus designed for the free list
may be used also for baling hay, for
rail fastenings and for other purposes.
But the main consideration was to re
lieve the great cotton producing in
dustry of a needless tax.
Iv Governor Northen has any oppo
sition this year it will be from outside
the Democratic party. He is solid with
the people and party that eleoted him
before. ——
AFRICA’S WOMAN EXPLORER.
Mrs. M. French Sheldon, of London,
is the only white woman who lins ever
traveled nlone through the wilds of
Africa. Mrs. Sheldon is an - American
by birth. She lectured in Philadel
phia last week and In giving an ac
count of her travels, she said:
“I ain proud of but one tiling, an d that
t X have, alone nnd unattended
is, that
by any save tlie native caravan, made
an exploration into Africa without the
firing of a single gun or pistol against
a native. There was no shedding of
human blood, and the only tiling I
have to regret Is the loss of a faithful
fellow, who ventured away from the
camp alone and was eaten by Hons.
“I took bunches of grass, the emblem
of peace among the natives, as the’
chief weapon nnd was known among
my own cnrnvan as ‘Bebe Bwnnn,’ the
woman master. My men were Im
pressed with tiie idea that I was a per
son who was never to be touched by
them nnd they Implicitly followed out
the order. During the travels of the
caravan we used the trade language,
known through Africa.”
Mrs. Sheldon gave vivid accounts of
some of her adventures,and announced
her intention of going through Africa
again, the next time along the West
coast.
In the Country Store.
Some of the snowbound pasBengera at
one of the depots noar Utica were tell
ing stories the other day, and a travel
ing man was relating his experience in
a country store in a small town in Jef
ferson county. He said he was there
nearly the entire forenoon, and had oc
casion to noto the peculiarities of the
storekeeper, who carried a general stock,
but a pretty small one. Every little
while a customer would pome into the
r-toro and inquire for some article that
the merchant did not happen to Igwe in
stock. For instance:
“Have yon any dried beef, Mr. Cosh-
drawer?”
“No, wo have no dried beef today,
but wo lmvo some uico codfish. John,
show this lady the codfish.”
“Do yon keep any. such thing ns wicks
for those big. ronnd lamp burners?"
"We generally do, but happen to be
out just now. Wo linve somo fine cot
ton clotheslines, though. John, show
tho gentleman the clotheslines."
“My gals Wonted mo to bring them
homo somo confectioner’s sugar. Have
you got any of it, Cnshdrawor?"
“Sold tho last ounce nbout an hour
ago, Henry. We’ve got an ossollent
quality of toilet soap, though. John,
show Mr. Adnms tho soap."
“Do you keep ready made flannel
skirts?" \
"Have had them all wtntor, and Bold
three to a lady yesterday; which cleaned
tho stock out. lint wo liavo a-lnrgo sup
ply of ovoralls.' John, show tills lady
tho ovoralls,"—Utica Observer.
The Tihlen will ease has been finally
settled, after years of litigation, nnd a
summary of the leading points and
facts in the case will prove interesting
to most readers. Tlie costs in the case
are over $800,000. The total value of
the eBtnte is estimated to be about
$0,000,000, It has largely increased
sincu his death, the increase being
placed at from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000.
In addition to the cost of the will con
test there nre $146,000 of other legal
fees and $148,000 of executors’ com
missions, making over $500,000, and
besides this, $600,000 are set aside for
other contingencies. In the will Mr.
Tilden gave to each of his nephews
$76,000, to each of his nieces $100,000
and ail the remainder in trust to found
a free library for the city of New
York. He had no relatives except the
six children of a deceased'brother and
the one child of a deceased sister, Mrs.
Hazard. The former decided to break
the will, but the latter deolined to be
a party to the suit. When the will
was declared void, Mrs. Felton Hazard
received something near $2,600,000 as
her share. She voluntarily turns over
two-thirds of this, or to be exact, $1,-
71)0,000, to carry out her uncle’s plan of
founding a public library. It is a
notable act, and.whiie tho sum ismuoh
less than the donor intended, it is suffi
cient to found a splendid library for
the benefit of the people.
One of the Congressional candidates
over in the new Eleventh distriot
seems to have been lost. The Bruns
wick Times says: “Has anybody
heard that Judge Dave Roberts is
running for Congress in the Eleventh
distriot? It would be interesting to
hear something about it, if he is.”

Civilization nml WlldornosH.
Upon tho 1,500 miles of the shore of
Lake Superior there are living now less
than 150,000 persons, and those are
mainly in .bustling cities Uke Duluth,'
Superior and Marquette, in industrial
colonies liko Calumet and Ro;l Jacket,
or in struggling littlo ports liko Fort.
Willinm and Port Arthur. Even tliore
the wilderness mid primeval conditions
are face to faco with the robust civiliza
tion which is shouldering its way us cap
ital is accustomed to do rather than as
natural growth usually asserts itself.
Not that it is not a wholly natural growth
which we find at nil points on the lake
shore, for it is all in response to tho inex
orable laws of supply and demand. Yot
the communities there have sprutjg into
being far apart from well sottlod regions
in answer to these laws.
