HODGES,’ Editor and Publisher Perry, Thursday, February 19. The Emperdr of Germany is re ported to be seriously ill. mk . President Harrison is prepar ing to visit the south directly after congress adjourns. Hon. Wm. McKinley, author of the republican tariff law, will be the republican candidate for gov ernor of Ohio. It is believed that ex-Gov. Fos ter, of Ohio, will be appointed Sec retary of the -Treasury to succeed Secretary Windioa,, deceased. Census reports shows that 3,- 378,484 tons of coal were mined in Alabama in 1889. The average price per ton at the mines was $1.10. - - The Illinois legislature has not yet elected a United States Sena tor, though there had been 98 bal lots taken np to Tuesday night. There will be a walking match " at Centra! City Park, Macon, on the 24th inst., between Ford, of Macon, and Prater, of Atlanta. Gen. Wm. T. Sherman died last Saturday afternoon, at his home in New York city. He will be buried in St. Louis to-day, with military honors. Admiral David D. Porter, of the United States Navy, died sud denly, of heart disease,at his home in Washington City lost Friday morning. The Eagle & Phoenix Manufac turing Company, of Col ambus, will discontinue the Savings Bank bus iness, and will issue bonds to pay the depositors. ‘ Democratic success in 1892 is the great thing desired, arid dis cussions of personal chances for the presidential nomination cannot be serviceable now. Factions may: thus be created. The Macon and Covington rail road has been purchased by the Richmond & Danville company, and a through northern connection will.be made with the Northeastern railroad at Athens. The last grand jnry of Bibb cpunty recommends that the coun ty commissioners secure authority to issue bonds to the extent of $100,000, for the purpose of maca damizing the public roads of that county. __ The old maxim “In unity there is strength,” is as true and forceful now as when it was first uttered. It is as true concerning political and business organizations as of organic substances. Only when a political party is practically a unit in principle and method can victory be won over its adversaries. Apply this truth to the democratic party, and it will ever win.- It has never lost ex cept by division within its ranks on minor questions. Its principles are full of virtue,, honesty and justice, and in accord with the desires and interests of a large majority of the people. Practically as a unit in purpose and action, a magnificent victory was achieved last Novem ber. Because of division within the ranks, desertion and betrayal by professed democrats, the republi cans were triumphant in the last presidential election. With decidedly the advantage now, there are forces at work that wdl cheat os of democratic victory in the next presidential election if the persuasion to division continues Much as the people may desire the free coinage of silver, as groat a boon as it may be, it is not and cannot be justly made a fundamen tal principle of' Democracy. The principles of tariff reform, import duties in accord with the interests of the mass of the people, can nev er consistently be relegated to a second place in the democratic platform. The men who are seek ing to elevate the silver question to the first place in the platform are fostering a scheme that will surely be hurtful to the democrat ic, party, as a national organization. We recognize the tact that the free coinage of silver would be greatly beneficial to the people, but it is of very slight importance in comparison to the correction of the tariff as now fixed- by the re publican party. On the silver question the dem ocratic party can never be solidly united. On the tariff question the party is as one man, and solid as the firmest stone. By elevating the silver question to the first place in the party platform of principles, Democratic division and defeat is knowingly invited. By retaining the tariff in the chief position, De mocracy will continue united, and will be invincible at the next na tional contest. This same argument can-be used in connection with the insane po sition of certain democratic editors and correspondents in contending that Cleveland and Hill are bitter antagonists for democratic prefer ence. This is especially pleasing to the republican leaders, as* tliey see that this personalism must surely lead to democratic division, if continued. Worthy as these gentlemen may be, democratic success is worth more than either. No possible good can come to democracy by thus pitting two reputed candi dates against each other. There can be no contest now, and the si lence of. the republican leaders concerning the possible nominee of that party is a fact worthy of demcratic emulation. It is folly to invite division by discussing personal antagonisms, and calculating the effect of person al acts and. opinions now, when party measures demand the assist ance of-the best thought and ac tion of Democracy. It is now positively asserted that the Georgia Southern railroad will Be extended from Macon to -Elber- iou, and there connect with the Georgia, Carolina & Northern rail- load. This will secure a through line to all principal northern points. As matters now are, we think the alliancemen of Georgia should give their support to the Alliance Farmer, in oppooition to the effort being made to displace that paper. Without expressing ah opinion concerning the merits pf the com plaints .against the Farmer, we think the dissenters should have placed their grievances before a convention of the state jj- alliance, and not commenced a fight that is Ukely to create discord in the alii ance. Editor Gunn, of the Cuthbert Liberal-Enterprise, says that the thought of becomingmanaging ed itor of the proposed new Alliance paper at Atlanta has never been considered by him, and that no proposition toward-that end has been made. Baron Hirsh, a Russian noble man,has established a charity fund in New York, to bn devoted to the assistance of needy immigrants who come to the United States from Russia and Roumania. Two weeks ago he added $2,400,000 to that fund, says the New York «Press. A Night school was opened in Atlanta last Monday night, under the auspices of the pnblic school authorities. No tuition is charged; and only those young men oyer 18 years of age are required to pay a nominal incidental fee. The school is for the boys and young men who are unable to attend the day schools because‘they are obliged to work for a living. The Piedmont [Exposition for 1891 is not yet assured, the amount of money asked for (89,0CK),) not having been subscribed. We ven ture to assert, however, that the Exposition will be held. Atlanta never fails when an earnest effort is made to accomplish a specified Hon. -James H. Kyle, independ ent, has been electedUnited States Senator by the legislature of South Dakota. , He is a Congregational minister, a prohibitionist, and was a republican until the last election. His election was the result of a combination between the demo crats and the alliancemen. purpose. Grand Master Workman Pow- derly, of the Knights of Labor, was stricken with heart disease last Monday night, while deliver ing a.speech at Topeka, Kansas, He recovered, however, within a short while, and was able to walk to his hotel. It Was and As It Is. Home Journal by •• Duplin." «, No nation has, in point of rapid growth of population, material wealth and power, of whicir au thentic history furnishes any ac count, exceeded the United States within the short period of their .ex istence. No nation, or people, at least none of modern times, has ever, within the short period of one cen tury, progressed from a few de pendent colonies to the dominion of half a continent, and the proud status of one of the greatest and wisest powers of the earth. Bat it may well be asked,’ “do the massess of the people to-day sus tain the fearless independence of character, the unswerving fidelity to principle and duty, which dis tinguished their ancestors of a hundred years ago?” Do they regard with .the same honor, and visit with the same just condemnation, violations of public trust, crookedness in business man agement, and the base, means of acquiring-wealth or powei ? These questions are self-answer able, and the answers are in the negative. The great upheaval of politics, business and society, caused by the late civil war, opened in this country the door for many of the evils which sorely afflict other civ ilized countries, and divide their people into classes whose interests aud .aspirations are irreconcilably antagonistic. Nor do the evils stop here. Never within the his tory of this country has the power of money in the decision of our political contests been so marked. The ballot box, the mouthpiece of sovereign liberty, has been dese crated, and has become so corrupt, that-it is alleged that ballots are put upon the market ns other chat tels, and by the vendue-masters exposed for sale to the highest bid der, and bought up by these same vendue-masters to advance their own political power and aggran dizement. Can our republican institutions —a government by the people— for the good of the whole people, belong sustained under such a state of general demoralization and corruption? This question is again self-an swerable, and the answer is in the negative. The history of the rise and downfall of other great and pow erful republics is full-of startling analogies and admonitions. It was a beautiful and impres sive fiction of Grecian mythology that the temple of Honor had no immediate entrance of its own, aud the only passage to it was through the temple of Virtue, and a faith ful illustration of this grand senti ment was furnished in the erection by the Greeks of a colossal statue to iEsop, a- slavp, designed to show to all the worle that “the road to fame was open, not to station, but to virtue.” Do the Fanners’ Alliance, and the organizations of farmers that have lately developed such remark able strength and influence, afford a promise of a purification of the political atmosphere, and a reform of the policies of the government that taxes one portion of the peo ple for the benefit of another por tion? We have good reason to hope that thep do. They have certainly put both of the old polit ical parties on their better ..beha vior, and their declarations of principles and purposes are di rected against some of the abuses and conditions that have caused the present demoralized and peril ous state of the country. Let ns hope that they will push the’ good work. Feb. 16th, 1891. Bonaire Items. REPORTED BY THE BOSS. We have very little news for the Journal this week, bnt in that lit tle there is a blessing." The general health of our com munity is good. The “grippe”has about lost its hold and left us. .We are glad to note that Mr. G. H. Thompson is rapidly recovering from the severe hurt he got from the runaway horses about two weehs ago. He has suffered con; siderably, but has attended to his business daily, as if he Was not hurt at all. The fanning business of this community is somewhat behind, on account of so much rain. Some are getting uneasy, for fear they will not be ready to plant at the proper time. I believe that it will take one- third of the cotton that will be made around Bonaire this year to pay for the gnano that has been purchased. A few years ago if a farmer ustd one ton o: guano to the plow 1 • was doiDga big thing in the guano business. N ov, if he don't use three or four tons to the plow he is no farmer. The guano agents don't care to bother with a man who doesn t want more than one ton. It has got to be a fashion, like many other thing-,, and it is said yon might as.well be. out of the world as out of the fashion. Yon must use enough to make 10 or 12 bales to the plow, aud spend the amount of 15 bales, or yon are not counted as a farmer, and von stand a poor chance to borrow money in the spring. It wontd be the best. thing that ever happened, if the farmers couldn’t get a dollar from the lend ers this yeHi : . But I must not say anything about this, fori will have to borrow’ some myself. My last will ami testament to the Boss Gardener: As he has failed to comply with my request, and has sent for me to go end dine with him, I will go someday when the weather is so that I can’t do anything at home, aud I’ll eat all the cabbage that lie has that are fit to cook. Then I will let him off. for I am very sympathetic, aud if a man makes an honest mistake I never crowd him. So you can rest easy, Boss Gardener. I will not be hard on you, but death to your cabbage. Feb. 15tb, 1891. APPLICATION FOR CHARTER. GEOBGIA: Houston County. 5 l To the Superior Court of Sail County: The Medical Profession. The attitude of the medical pro fession toward what is known as “patent medicines” is not at all unreasonable. Thousands of these nostrums are offered to the public each year. Some of them are dan. gerous, and most of them are fu tile. • Swift’s Specific (S. S. S.),we are all glad to sav, is not classed among these nostrums. It has overcome the wholesome prejudice of physicians in all parts of the country, and some of the strongest testimonials in its behalf come from medical men who have used it in their practice, and who do not hesitate to endorse its. wonderful results. This is extremely gratify ing, but by no' means astonishing, for every claim that is put forwaid iu behalf of S. S. S. is based on a series of experiments extended over a long period of time.
