To tin Atlanta Constitution : You don’t deserve It, bat, all the «ame, we eympatblze with you; in InemcaRiTT may win for a time politics, but In the end the man who plays In that role will come to grief. Tna Atlanta Constitution admits that the aotion of the State convention on Wednesday was a surprise—to the Constitution. Candidate Stmvkks didn’t raise his “pint of order" In the State Conven tion, after all, and It Is well he didn’t. I uf the boys were loaded for him.

And oven then some of cm got left. : Oun State Democratic Convention was a Cleveland convention, but nn anti-Cleveland man evidently wrote the. platform that was adopted. It aeems a little inconsistent for a ram pant Cleveland convention to adopt a platform with a free silver, coinage plauk In It.

This is flat tering to the people of the United States in that It puts them In the proud position of wage-pnyere. In point of fact, the people uf the United 8tates are wage-earners; and the wage-earners were never once con sulted when the McKinley tariff was in course of formulation. In the far West they still name newspapers in a way that suggests - the idea of journalism as a war-to- the-knife business. An example of this fashion is the People's Poniard, of Sidney, Neb., whloh was thirty-one i old on Friday last; and an ex* ample of the Poniard’s pointed style of editorial paragraphing may be found In the following quotation: “The tad pole editor of the Telegraph is real chipper and peart since bathing in the puddle beh’nd the shed.

Following Is the platfbrm of prin ciples adopted by the Slate Democratic Convention at Atlanta nn Wednesday: 1. Resolved, That we, the Democrats of Georgia, In convention assembled, reaffirm our devotion to the time- honored principles of our historic party. We believe that the powers delegated hy the people should he strictly construed; that the autonomy of States and the rights of local self- government and home rule should be zealously guarded; that no money should be taken from the people under any pretext for other than public pur poses; that-the strictest economy should be exercised in all govern mental expenditures, whether looal, State or national; that legislation should he confined to the legitimate objects of the government; that public office Is a solemn public trust. 9. We believe that the same care and caution should be used by the govern ment, both State and national, In the expenditure of publio money as is used by prudent men In their own pri vate affairs. i'We believe that tho right of taxa tion was delegated to the government, both State and national, to be used only for absolute necessities, and any other use of this power Is dishonest and tyrannical. 4. A surplus revenue In the treasury Is n glittering prize to be sought, after by political thieves and plunderers, r*. We are uncompromisingly op posed to the enlargement of federal powers; to tile usurpation by the oen- tral government of the funotlons of State; to bounties and subsidies in every form; to every species of class legislation ami government partisan ship with' pHVAte' enterprises; to the whole theory , and practice bf pater nalism. 0. We, who have within n generation seen elections opened by the tap of n ■drum, and the Judlclnl powers of the Stnte usurped hy courts martial, and a Legislature seized by a military clerk, nnd the legally elected representatives of the people turned out of office to make by frtree a subservient majority, Imve no desire to take any chances on tho political future. 7. Wo consider the government con trol of ilostofllcus ns necessary and proper, because the seal of the letter protects the private affairs of the citi zen from governmental espionage, but we protest except In the regulation of prices against extending this aontrol over telegraphs and telephones, and pinring in our midst a horde of office holders who will only he amenable to national laws and limy at any time, by the will of the majority, or, ns often happens In our federal affairs, by the will of a minority, be turned Intospius and Informers. While wo oppose gov erumental ownership of railroads w« endorse our State railroad commission laws, and demand that the powers of the Interstate Railroad Commission be enlarged so as to provide a "rigid, hon est and Just aontrol’’ of railroad trans portation. 8. We demand the free and unlimited coinage of both silver and gold on a parity with eaoh other to the end that the money of the people shall be such In quantity and quality as was origin ally contemplated by the constitution. 9. We demand that the prohibitory 10 per cent, tax on State bank Issues be strieken out of the national bank law, and when this Is done, we deBire that a uniform system of banking be pro vided for hy the legislature of the Stnte of Ueorgln, with a flexible ex pansive Slate bank curronny. We further demand that the prohibition in the national bank law against ac cepting renl estate as security for loans shall be stricken, therefrom. 10. Wo demand tlint the amount of the circulating medium be speedily increased on the sound busts sufficient to meet the needs of the country. 11. We demand that Congress shall pass such laws as will effectually pre vent the dealing in futures of all agri cultural and mechanical productions; providing a stringent system of pro cedure in trials that will secure prompt conviotlon, and imposing suoh penal ties as sslmll secure the most perfect compliance with the law. 12. Believing In the doctrines of equal rights to all and special privi leges to none, We demand— a. That our national legislation shall be so framed in the future as to not build up one Industry at the expense of another. b. We regard as the most important issqe before the people a reform of the present iniquitous tariff and we de mand a removal of the existing heavy tax from the necessities of life, that the poor of our land must have. c. Wo further demand a just and equitable system of graduated tax on income. 2d. We believe that the money of the country should be kept as much as possible in the bands of the people, and hence we demand that all national and State revenue shall he limited to the necessary expenses of the govern ment economically and honestly ad ministered. 14. We demand retrenchment and reform tn'the expenditure of national revenues and especially a correction uf the present pension system which rests like a mammoth war tax on our section of the Union. IB. We therefore, in a spirit of mu tual concession, offer this, our plat form, to the Democracy of Georgia, and pray that a divine providence may incline onr hearts to wisdom, justice Ward McAllister Is an astonished and somewhat irat<* father-in-law. He has i been a • fathef-ln-lsw for five years although Tie did nut know It. His son, Mr. II. H.McAUlster, whom he has alwsys supported, became In fatuated, about five years ago, with Miss Janie Gorman, of Savannah, and wished to marry her. Mr. McAllister made no attempt to break off the mar riage, though he advised his son to make no woman his wife until he lisd made a name and a fortune for him self. lint It seems the youth did not ant on the wise suggestion of his father, for, Just recently, Mrs. H. H. McAllis ter made her appearanoe In New York, demanding that she be given her true position in the world as the wife of the son of a great social leader. The result is Mint the wedding has been announced, but Mr. H. H. McAl lister no longer resides st the home of his fsther. There nre trials even ill the life of a great soolal leader. Three Negreee Suffocated la ■ Well. BISTRIISTED EACH OTHER. The Cleveland and Hill factions nt the State Convention on Wednesday were afraid to trust eaoh other. Each crowd was on the lookout for trickery, and their mutual distrust reminded the Atlsnta Evening Herald of the following little story: Mr. Isaacsteln returned,jbpme very late one night and Mrs, (eaju*stelu asked: ‘TP "Shskey, where you got anj -wiVt to bacco stain on your shirt front! 1 " "Blnylng draw boker mit three slientlemens from New Knglanl, Rachel I" “Veil, couldn’t you turned your head to one side veil you spit?” “Not mlt dose fellers."

Gld Uncle Mao Morris, one uf the most highly respected colored citizens of our county, and two of his sous were asphyxiated by carbonic acid gas in a well on the farm of Elbert Reddick, about eight miles below Blakely, ou last Tuesday morning. The oiroumstances of this sad occur rence, as near as we can ascertain, are about at follows: UnoleMac, In dig ging a well for Reddiok, had encoun tered a flint rook when at a depth of thirty or thirty-five feet from the sur face. , This rock proving too hard for his It a fire picks he biiili around It, as he said, to pop It out. This lire liurnl-d all larft Fridi fiday afternoon. On Tuesday morning he and Ills two sons, both nearly grown, went bnek to remove the pieces of broken rock. One of the boys went down, and having only Strunk once or twice on the rock, wn’s overcome lij the gas and fell down* apparently dead. The other boy went down to fasten a rope to the body of his brother, and was himself suffo cated. The body of the tlrst was taken out. The father, who was some little distance off, was made aware or what had happened, and ns soon as possible was lowered to bring up the body of the seeond son. Having se* cured the rope to the boy’s body t lie ' fifteen feef In We don’t hear much from the Third Partyltes in Georgia these days. two were drawn up about the top of the curb which extended from the bottom up thnt distance. Finding Mint some part uf the rope waB giving why. the father got off on the top of tIn* curb and told those nbove to draw tlie body of the boy out. This they did anil Just ns It reached the surface they beard the old man drop, With a heavy thud, to the bottom of the well, lie remained there some hours when u* rope was looped to his arm and lie was drawn up. I.nte in the afternoon the older bov, the one thnt first went down, had so fnr recovered ns to be able to walk about, butts perfectly demented. Ti e father and the younger son how ever, showed no signs of resuscitntlon. Sarah's Buflalo Hunt. “You know that during Sarah Bern hardt's recent tour through the south ' she had a mania for huniiug," said Phil Groonwall, of Fort Worth. Tex., at the Lindell. "She played in my house at Fort Worth. Slio got into town on Sun day morning, and os she laid nothing to do until Monday night 1 suggested that •he take her gun and go out in the coun try for a spin. The suggestion delighted her, but the only kind of game she wanted was buffalo. I told George Lov ing, a cattleman, of the actress' thirst for bnifalo blood, and thongh of course there are none within 1,000 miles of Fort Worth, Loving declared that he would improvise a buffalo fyr tbe divine Sarah's benefit. I accompanied her and Abbey to a prairie twelve miles west of town, whore, by Appointment, I was to meet Loving and the buffalo. “Loving had scared np a little woolly bull with short crumpled horns, and when tho Frenchwoman saw the hid eous animal, which bad been whipped into fury by Loving's quirt when he saw us coming. I thought she would go wild. Tho bull bellowed, pawed tho earth, and throwing his tail straight into tlie air turned from ns and fled. Abboy stood transfixed und Bernhardt was screaming like a maniac. "Finally she recovered herself suffi ciently to tuko aim and blaze away at tho supposed hullulo. Tlie bull fell to his Imuuches with u lmllet through his carcass, and then wo all took a shot ut him until he was dead. Some member af the company was Incan enough to tell Mine.

Capt. Hobbs has nothing to com plain of in what was done at the State Democratic Convention so far as any part of the convention pro ceedings is concerned. In some of the juggling nnd Copping with which he came In contact In the district caucus, however, he was rather out-done by ‘ways that are dark and tricks that are vain.” Notwithstanding all this and the strange opposition of Thomas county, Capt. Hobbs’s friend, Capt. Triplett, a brother veteran and Demo crat tried and true, “got there,” all the same.

They crossed tlie Atlantic, it is said, visited unknown islands and discovered new lands. After a weary voyage of many months they returned in safety. A streot was named after them in Moorish Lisbon, called the street of the Alma- grurins. Possibly the attempt might hare been j renowed, and a Moorish city might have 1 sprung np in Cuba or Hispaniola, at Philadelphia or New York. But soon the conquering Christians took Lisbon and chocked its advance in knowledge. For many centuries it was given up to war and chivalry. At length it revived the Moorish instincts of trade and com merce.

The Inst Institute of the school year was held at the Academy oil Saturday. The attendance was small, although the meeting was an interesting and a profitable one. Papers were rend by Prof. Fjtz- patrick on the subject of “Percent age,” by Prof. Hutson on “Penman ship,”, and by Mrs. Fitzpatrick, on “English Grammar.” Other Interesting papers were rend by Misses Louella Gilbert and Clifford Taylor. The gathering of the teachers nt regular intervals fur the discussion of topics pertaining to their work, has been of value in giving them new ideas a9 to teaching certain subjects nnd in arousing greater interest In the work. .

It matters not what provocation may be, the moral effect of n legal hanging is worth more and will do more to suppress crime than half a dozen lynchlngs. The Herald gives prominence to day to an article from Capt. R. Hobbs on the status of affairs political in this Congressional district. Capt. Ilobbs has been roundly abused by the Ste vens and Third Party organs of the district ever since tbe Democratic Ex ecutive Committee, of which he is Chairman, met in this city nn the 21st of April and promulgated its address to tbe Democratic pardy of the dis trict. He takes but little notice of this abuse, but, in reply to one of Can didate Stevens’s helpful articles in the Atlanta Constitution, brings out a few facts and ideas which should be read by every Democrat in this district. The methods that Mr. Stevens is em ploying to invite and provoke a split in the Democratic .party of this dis trict are well calculated to deceive and mislead many good wen and loyal Democrats, but they will bring him to grief before the campaign Is over. Nobody but him and his Atlanta or gan has ever predicted or expressed any fears of “two nominating conven tions” in this district, and it is very apparent that he is only paving the way to such disruption of the party in the event of his failure to control the convention that has been duly called by the Executive Committee. dish in hand.

A definition of Poetry* Whether sung, spoken or written, po etry is still the vital form of human ex pression. Ono who essays to analyze Its constituents is an explorer undertak ing a quest in which many have failed. Doubtless he, too, may fail, but he sets forth in the simplicity of a good knight, who docs not fear his fato too much, whether his desert be great or small. In this mood, seeking a definition of thnt poetic utterance which is or may become a record—a definition both de fensible and inclusive, yet compressed into a single phrase—I have pnt together the following statement: Poetry is rhythmical, imaginative language, expressing the invention, taste, thought, passion and insight of the human sonl.—Edmund C.
