A oood deal of yawp is •indulged In
by politicians and editors during a
■ presidential oampalgn for the sake of
gaining a vote, or with the hope of sc
aring it. An explosion of a little gas
make a mighty big noise.' Fire
its loaded with dried peas and China
ries are harmless. The fuss made
f little oonsequenoe; It Is the wdrk
a man does for his party and the way
be lives Its principles that tell.
That Grand Old Man and indomit
able pamphleteer, William Ewart
Gladstone, has written another little
book. His purpose this time la to op
pose woman suffrage, “lest we unwit
tingly invite her to trespass the purity,
flellcaoy and elevation of her own na
ture.” In the minds of many persona
who have hitherto idoltxed the latter-
day divine William, this threadbare
argument will stamp him as a very
old man, indeed—a genuine antedi
luvian.
PaiNca Bismarck, whose physician
baa compelled him to make a material
reduction in the extent of bis pota
tions, lament! the decadence of the
liquo|-drinking power of Germans,
• and hopes they may not descend to the
low level of the English, “who drink
nothing but water and tea.” The Phil
adelphia Record suggests that this
scorn of the English as drinkers will
surprise many of them. It would also
onish those natives of Damascus
i cal! drunken men victims of the
Irtish disease."
Mv I)kab Mn. Rainky—I am In re
ceipt of the marked copy of your Hsuc
of the 27th InsC, and note with pleas
ure tho correct, elear-eut style of the
paper, because It Is nil evidence of the
progress and high order of Intelli
gence which pervades our sister city,
Dawson—not Dawson alone, but the
staunch county of Terrell. Well, now,
nfter that nice little dose of soft sol
der, won’t you nllow me to comment
Just n little hit on your article in
which you essay to give the Congres
sional Convention of tins district par-
tlcularfits? So clear and distinct that
wince as we may, the exclamation
comes: “Rnlney Is a good fellow!”
Yet, at the same time, it Is clear that
he Is wedded to his idols—and like the
ltrnlunlh* of Delhi, enn see no good
boyond the gods which Ills linnds has
helped to set up. You accuse the com
mittee of being swayed by “waves of
passion and prejudice." Passion ami
prejudice against whopi? Not against
Democrats, surely, and not against
others, because the words of tho com
mittee are couched respectfully, which
passion cannot, do; arc couched con
servatively, which prejudice cannot
do. Neither do the words of the com
mittee cnconrngo dUsentlon, rather
the reverse. They encourage caution
ngalnst. avowed opponents—opponents
in Interest, opponents In prinolplennd
opponents in fact—who claim the right
hy reason of past alllllatlon to control
the counulls of Democracy.
It will hot do, my dear sir, In say
you belong to.tlie rock-ribbed Democ
racy, anil swallow ata gulp the teneli-
Ings of your Ocnlu confreres, the
teachings of your St. I.ouis masters,
the touchings of Peck, Post, Daniels ik
On. Your Intelllginioe does away
with tile necessity of enumerating the
monstrosities which have been put
forth hy this combination. Yet you
will pardon tlm recital of a few cardi
nal virtues which are claimed by them
nml put forth to the world as equal al
most Ih point of virtue to the words of
fibly writ. 'For. Instance, the ware
house system and suh-treasury'plau of
the Ocala platform. Suppose a law
lias been passed hy Congress alid is in
ell’eot to-day,- the cotton crop of Inst
year, under its provisions, Is stored in
warehouses In the towns and hamlets
of the laud; two-thirds of its value was
advanced when stored, the farmers
mortgaged I heir farms, their stock nnd
everything they had to seouro the pay

ever low, sleeps not; expenses, how

takes place is u certain loss to the
horny-hnnded farmer.
The Republican party Is In power.
Imagine, If you enn, tin* army of sup
porters which your pet measure will
give them, unless you can presume
that Democrats will he appointed to

picture, and show' all this for the ben
efit of n class of the community—class,
because the artisan, the scholar, the
student ami tin; outside world are ex
cluded from the benefits of your pet
mensure, and yet you call this Democ
racy. Will you lot me carry you to St.
Louis? That grand conclave of celeb
rities who proposed to capture this
hemisphere by the great, and good
proposition to be honest to the Federal
pensioners, pensioners who have re-
oelved millions of the hard earnings of
an Impoverished people. Your good
St. Louis people say be honest to those
fellows; tlie money paid them was not
gold, only greenback; let us give them
SO per oent. more as a discount for dif
ference in valuation, and it was swal
lowed with a whoop. Not a word was
Baid about paying the Southern cotton
planter, or the Western grain raiser, a
discount on the money paid them all
these years for their produce, and yet
you call tills Dcmooraoy—Iron-ribbed
Demooraoy.
L well remember the day in the
’Sixties when, in company with some
of the truest men that ever drew the
breath of life, from Terrell county, we
tramped the salt marshes of the Caro
lina coast, the hills, the valleys and
mountains of Virginia and Maryland,
with naught for covering save the blue
canopy of heaven, and naught to pro
tect them from storms save the worn
grey coats and woolen hats of the Con
federate soldier. Where are those gal
lant fellows now? I have seen their
bayonets in the charge dash like light
ning in the front. They ocoiipy un
known gtavtk on many a hill Bide, on
men. Some with their wooden lei
ploughed steers; all done what they
could, aud thanks to their indomitable
pluck the farms of the South are no
longer waste.
It Is with a full heart that I some
times see some of the farmers of
Terrell in Albany. Their teams and
their own good-selves show that their
barn yards teem with plenty. Bu£ the
last of thin grand old race Is nearly
gone; but not so the sons, the widows,
the daughters, the orphans of the old
Confeds—they arc here, and you good
St. Louis people want them of their
hard earnings to pay more pensions
to Yankee bummers. Old Confeder
ates do not object to tile pnyment of
pensions to the old soldiers of the Fed
eral army who were In service; but
they protest against the army of bum
mers now on top. No iron-ribbed
Democrat will consent; and Iron-
ribbed Democrats do not want to affil
iate with men who (lo consent to such
an outrage uti what you will nllow me
to call common decency ami coiimon
honesty. It is agnlnst these outrages
that the Executive Committee seek to
protect Democrats. If there are men
m Terrell county wild objeo* to this
line of action on the part of the com
mittee, they are not the men 1 used to
know In the days lang syne. Neither
do I think, Mr. F.dltor, that you can
swnllow It. all. We have sent for
hand-book of yoltr tit. Louis friends’
platform. When we get It In print, If
you will permit me I will send you a
copy, an that you can scientifically
diagnose the dose. Verytrnly,

Philadelphia had a million dollnr

occupied by the Times office, were
burned. Some fifty people were in

were seriously hurt. The fire caught
in the scenery of the theatre.
