The Hkbald took occasion some
tlo'eagoto call attention to the fact
that'all'tlie members of the Farmers’
Alliance were not following those of
the lenders who are determined to
turn It inton political party machine.
There are many Alllancemen through
out the State who alliltated with the
order with the Idea that It was not a
politlcnl organization, and who will
not follow it into politics in any way
that Is calculated to estrange them
from the Democratic, party.
This state of facts is especially to bo
observed in the Second Congressional
district, and ns the cainpnign begins
to get warm and It becomes evident
thntlho Alliance Is being used as n
political machine, the old Democratic
spirit begins to rise and the pnrty loy
alty of yore nsserts Itself in the minds
and hearts of those who have learned
from bitter experience that good gov
eminent, pence and prosperity come
only through the Democratic pnrty to
the people of the Booth.
. There Ib a distinction to be made be
tween the Farmers' Alliance as i
legitimate organization for the mu
tual benefit and protection of farmers,
resulting from co-operation In market
ing produots and purchasing supplies,
and the Alltnncc ns a politlcnl organ
ization.
The Alliance Is strong throughout
Georgia, hut It Is not all-powerful ns a
politlcnl organization, und those po
liticians and place-hunters who are
toadying to it and surrendering soul
and body to It nre making a double
mistake. After a while they will find
themselves out In thu cold. The legit
imate Alliance, which will eventually
prevail on the principle of tho survi
val of tho fittest, will have no use for
them, nnd the Democratic party will
have lost faith in them nnd will find
more worthy men upon whom to con
fer pnrty honors.

THU CHOLERA NCOCHOK.
Are we to hnvo a cholera epidemic
this summer? 'l'hnt is wlmt papers are
asking. U Is true that for many
months tlint dread disease hnH raged
In India. Several easca have Intely
been reported In the vicinity of Fails.
It Is u question to whlah should be
given the attention of the health offi
cers of seaport towns. Cholera be
comes so virulent nn epidemic and Is
of such fat.nl nature tlmt n bare possi
bility of Its nilvrnt Into a country
should onll up the most strenuous ef
forts of health ollluers to prevent Its
appearance. Quarantine officers at
seaports should exercise extra vlgi-
Innco In thu examination of Incoming
ships.
English dispatches from India state
that 40,000 dentlis occurred In Tiittin
during the Inst five months of 1801,
and Hint the mortality of India from
that old-time scourge line been ex
traordinarily fatnl during the past four
months. In the face of such reports,
nml considering tho .vast amount of
travel between the Occident and
Orient, every possible precaution
should he taken to prevent the spread
of tho disease.
l’atrlotlaiit Is always the subject of
much eloquence in speech nnd of much
rhetoric in composition. It sometimes
bespeaks much feeling, It oft-times
showS mere sentiment. But patriot
ism, pure nml ardent love for country
and principles of country, nowhere
form the firm sub-strnta of a man’s
ohnraoter to such nn extent as in the
South. A man who ohnnges his prin
ciples with the hope of political ad
vancement Is.rarely to be found under
Southern suns. But when he does,
retribution, swift and sudden, over
takes him. It seems ns Impossible for
a Southerner to forget or bo disloyal
to Southern principles ns for a leopard
to change his spots. Ills loyalty to the
cniise for which Ills country fought Is
ns firmly rooted ns the mountains. All
honor to Southern patriotism and the

A Philadelphia physician, talking

hotels tlmt it has amounted to a mild
epidemic, aud the place is likely to
suffer seriously next season unless the
wealthy class, who crowd dqwn there
during Lent, can be convinced that the
causes of this winter’s outbreak have
been done away with. Doubtless a
thorough investigation of tho munici

some serious Haws, for only some suah
cause would account for the large num

there or among persons but recently

cited, and New Yorkers suffered to

William Corbett's Grammar.
It has been said of Cprbott that he
wrote an English grammar which
was "as entertaining os a novel.”
And this is nothing more than the
literal truth. In fact, many novels
arc harder to read than Corbett’s
grammar. Tho full titlo of tho hook
is: “A- grammar of the English lan
guage in a series of letters; intended
for the use of schools and of yoimg
persons in goneral, hut more especial
ly for tho use of Boldiors, sailors, ap-'
prentices and plowboys. ' By Wil
liam Corbett. To which are added
six lessons, intended to prevent states
men from using falso grammar, and
from wilting in an awkward man
ner."
From its sarcastic title page to the
end of the 230 pages of which it is
composed, every sentence in the book
tingles and vibratos with the strong
personality of the writor. But the
purpose with which the hook was
written is never lost sight of. It is
an oi-derly, simple and humorous
treatise, displaying strong common
sonso oqd sound judgment.—Temple
Bur.
A College Scapegoat.
In after lifo tho late Dr. S. G.
Howe often expressed his regret
that he had wasted his time while in
college, and explained how it hap
pened that he became the ringleader
in fun and frolic. His explanation
suggests that all who ore educators
of youth should heed the inspired
words: *. ‘Charity suff ereth long, und
is kind; is not easily provoked; think
eth no evil; buliovuth all things,
hopeth all things.”
Ho discovered before he had been
many mouths in collego that he was
suspected of nil the mischief there,
wheu in fact hut a small part of it
was his. His truthful denials were
disregarded, nnd he was made the
college scapegoat.
The faculty's suspicion tempted
him to keep up his reputation, nnd ho
determined that as ho had tho name
he would have the game. A little
timely advice and kindly treatment,
and more than nil a little confidence
in h’is word, would have cbrrected
his foibles aud made u student of the
practical joker.—Youth's Compan

ami blacker, it. wus udvuncing to

spued, uud presently 1 saw that it
wus ull fretted with holts of lightning
und toothed with white darts of fire.
Never before or since did I see such
u dreadful display of the electrical
forte. The bolts were so close to
gether that it seemed as if they
must destroy every living thing in
the path way of the cloud. When the
black uud terrible mass in tho sky
vame still nearer it seemed no longer
toothed or fringed, hut it spat the
lightning with vicious force straight
down upon the forest beneath it.
Next came a sucking, roaring
sound of wind, tho sky grow black,

light, Indore it vanished into night,
1 Hitw the giant palm trees throw up
tlieir huge fanlike arms like mortal
creatures that were hurt and panic
stricken. Then the storm hurst over
the train, and through its din I heard
the crushing of tho falling palm

and thrown to tho earth.
In another minute the worst of the
darkness was over, and in tho half

wrecked mid wore still writhing in
their misery, tossing up their bread
hands nnd thick arms, many of which
were brokon and disjointed, wliilo
others had been snapped off.
At tho foot of tho palms there was
no longer any ground. Tho surface
of the earth had become a lake. The
water stood high in tho doorways of
negro cabins. The litter of palm
branches floated qbout on tho rain
pelted water. I remember waiting
to see the train demolished by tho
lightning, but it was not, nor could I
see that tho fiery bolt had harmed
anything around us. Another minuto
passed—perhaps not more than five
minutes had passed since the shower

The rerent decision of the Supreme
Court, winch declares what Is known
as the Glenn railroad tax hill consti
tutional, makes the operation of the
law, which requires railroads to pay
taxes to the counties through which
they run, a matter of local Interest
wherever there Is a railroad.
AVe have seven railroads, including
the two street railway companies, that
are subject to taxation in Dougherty
county under this law. Four of these,
viz.: The Albany Street Railroad, the
Artesian City Street Railroad, the Al
bany, Florida & Northern and the
Brunswick & Western, did not wait on
the test case.tliat has been pending In
the Supreme Court over the constitu
tionality of the law, hut pnid their
tnxes when called upon by Capt. J. T.
Hester, the efficient Tax Collector of
Dougherty county.
Now comes the decision of the Su--
preme Court sustaining tho law, and
the Comptroller General lias notified
all the Tax Collectors of the State to
proceed at once to collect from the
roads that have not paid their taxes.
If the roads do'not pay within thirty
days, the Comptroller is to be notified,
and he will issue executions at once.
The Comptroller Issues the execu
tions or forces the collection of these
taxes, but the tax goes d I rent" to tlie
counties under the provisions of the
not.
The IlxitALn procured from Tax
Collector Hester to-day the exact
amount that encli road pays to Dough

point in the following which it will be

other day to a Third Pnrty limn who
was talking about the corruption of
the two old parties and the necessity
of forming a new one, “where are you
going to get your members for your
new party?” “From the two old par
ties, of course,” was the answer. But
how nre you going to make a good
thing out of two corrupt- things,” was
next asked. It was a stunner nnd has

In response to a Senate resolution
President Harrison says “it would not
be compatible with the public, inter
ests” for him to tell what steps had
been taken by this government to
bring about an international silver
conference. By which we are left to
infer that the information asked for by
the Senate would not be such cam
paign matter as would be favorable to
the Republloan party. It is difficult-
to perceive what harm could be done
If the government should impart to
the public all it knows on this subject.
It is one upon which the people need

\Just a Shade of Difference.
When a man shrugs his shoulders
(a very feminine accomplishment)
at tlio mention of another man's
namo, what conclusions nre drawn
by the generality of pcoplo? Is tho
maligned man thought less of?
Rather people begin to delve and
wonder -.vliat the cause, what the
motive for this detraction.
They wonder if it is malice; if the
slandered one 1ms been more success
ful in business or perhaps, having
good judgment, has found the real
character of tlio pretender, nnd con
sequently spurned him; perhaps the
injured man has been - a rival for
some fair girl's affection and won.
These are sqrne of the thoughts
which come to us when, contrary to
all manly principles, one man slan
ders or even detracts another man's
reputation. I suppose you know the
difference between detraction and
slander. There’s a shade of differ
ence, you know, only a shade.—Phil

account of this carved gem he says
that its sides were engraved with
figures of “three palm trees, a man,
two goats and a dog, the opposite
