THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE.
" Tfc- ; ' i\«,. .v_; . y .
. • ' • - ... -A
Under this government “for the
people, by the people,” the officers
of the government certainly should
obey the will of the people.
Concerning the policy to be pur
sued by the executive and legisla
tive departmehts of the govern
ment, the people spoke in positive
tones last November. The verdict
thus rendered was that democracy
-must prevail,. Democracy declares
that the tariff shall be reformed in
the interest of the people; that pro
tection shall not in any degree exist
except as an incident unavoidably
attached to the necessity of raising
revenue for government expenses.
Democracy declares that gold
must not dominate cammeice to
the disadvantage of silver coin and
treasury notes.
Democracy declares that the
government shall be economically
administered; that monopolies and
trusts must be controlled'; that the
pensions rolls and all government
bureaus must be purged of fraud.
If these things are to be done
faithfully, to whom must the work
be entrusted? There can be but
one answer. Democrats. If there
is to be. a change of policy, of
course there should be a change of
men. Surely it'should not be that
a republican will be required to
perform democratic service.
There may be numbers of re
publicans who are willing to accept
office under a democratic adminis
tration, but they should be allowed
to follow their party. Such offici
als might be efficient in a strictly
clerical, or mechanical sense, but
nq such man would give his heart
to the work, therefore his service
could not be strictly first-class.
Democratic work is to be done,
and democrats should do it. The
people have so decreed, and their
will should be respected.
The verdict declares that the of
fices of the federal government
should be filled by democrats, and
that verdict should be faithfully
executed.
Turn the republicans out.
Property to the value of nearly
five millions of dollars was de
stroyed by fire in Boston, Mass.,
last .Friday evening. An entire
block of largo builbings was burn,
ed, and several lives lost.
Bishop A. G. Haygood, of the
Methodist Episcopal church
South,who went tb California about
a year ago, has determined to re
turn to Georgia to live, and is
now in this state on a visit.
The question of removing the
'capital of California from Sacra-
menta to San Jose will be submitt
ed to a vote of the people,, provid
ed the latter city will deed to the
state ten acres of land and $1,000,-
000.
In Atlanta last Saturday Judge
Marshall J. Clark issued an order
for the sale of the Atlanta & Flor
ida railroad. Besides other debts,
it is said this road owes the state
$13,000 for taxes, and its employes
about $10,000 wages.
Several million dollars of gold
was offered to Secretary Carlisle
last week in exchange for small
treasury notes, by - bankers of
Chicago and other large Cities.
] This will relieve the pressure for a
short while. ' •
We would not have it said by
democrats that “to the victors be
long the spoils,” for that sounds
rather brigandish. But we say
most emphatically that republicans
ought not to be allowed to hold of
fice under a democratic adminis
tration.
The democratic senators have
decided that the senators appoint
ed by the governors of Montana,
Washington and Wyoming will
not be given their seats. This ac- v
cords with precedent established
by the republicans under similar
conditions.
At a convention of farmers at
Little Bock, Ark., last Friday, res
olutions were adopted urging a re
duction in the acreage devoted to
cotton below that planted last year.
Such expressions are made public
ly in all sections of the cotton belt,
but it seems that the private inten
tion is to increase the cotton acre”
age.

It is reported through the Con
stitution that Hon. J. H. Blount,
of Georgia, has been appointed a
special confidential agent of the
Treasury department. The salary
is said to be $10,000 a year. Mr.
Blount was in Macon last Friday,
but he left for Washington next
morning in answer to a telegram intentions in this decision, but
j President Cleveland.
Very nearly 2,250,000 pounds
ofsteel will be used in the roof of
“The MacKaye Spectatorium,”
which is dow being built at Jack-
son Park, off the Lake shore, in
Chicago. It was a matter of con-
sideradle study with the contract
ors how to place this mass of steel
in position, there being no derrick
large enough or strong enough to
do the work, at the altitude [re
quired. At length, however, an
enormous traveling derrick has
been secured. This derrick is of
sufficient altitude to work to ad
vantage at a height of 180 feet,
which is the highest point on the
roof, and strong enough for. the
purpose required. It is the larg
est ever built aud wieghs, with its
cables and tackle blocks, a little
over 154,000 pounds.
The fundamental principle of
Georgia republicanism was illus
trated in Atlanta several days ago.
Ex-Postmaster General Wanua-
maker passed through Atlanta en-
route to Mexico. Not a single re
publican paid him the slightest at
tention, though a number of Dem
ocrats called on him, and showed
him other couretsies. Wannamaker
in not now able to appoint anyone
to office.
It i3 reported that the negroes
who were recently enticed from
their farms in Macon and Houston
counties by getting promises in
Oklahoma are begin nig to write
home. Very few of them ever got
to Oklahoma,, the agents steering
them to the Mississippi bottoms,
where they find less profitable la
bor than, they left.
- BY agreement with the city
council'of Macon the State Agri
cultural Society may hold the'state
fair ' in any city of the state this
year. Atlanta and Augusta will be
prominent bidders for the fair.
Next year, and each alternate year
thereafter, the fair will be held at
Macon.
Up to March 9th,.$200,000 had
been paid out to widows of Geor
gia veterans, with about $35,000
still to the credit of that pension
fund. The payment of pensions
to the soldiers began yesterday,
and that fund amounts to $185,000.
The cotton receipts at Mafcon
since September last have fallen
off fully 25,000 bales in compari-
son witfi tbe receipts during the
previous cotton’year.Q This is con
sidered as about the comparative
difference in the two crops. ,
OLE FOET TALLEY LETTEE.
- "By BliEEZE,
Last week was rather a busy one
w’ith the average Fort Valliau.
Everybody seemed to be on the
move, busy, at something, and it
bids fair to be a memorable week
in the'history of the town, as fu
ture developments will go tpvshow.
Quite a number of northern
prospectors were here inspecting
lands, and some are still lingering
hoping to strike saitable lands at a
bargain. From dow on Fort Val
ley will be well filled all the time
with northerners who are seeking
lands, and business fori their" co.m-
jnission houses. A small contin
gent of business men have already
shown up, and they say that if the
fruit crop is a certainty that this
action will be overrun with them
by the first of Jane.
Application for a charter for the
Tivoia Fruit aud Land*Company
has been made, but owing to some
one who shot off his mouth with
out knowing what effect the utter
ance would have, ft is .not knowD
whether the enterprise will mate
rialize or not.
It is hoped by the people here
that President Claude Estes’ Oco
nee and Western railroad will be
completed to this place in the near
future. It is now graded from
Hawkinsville to Grovania, and the
grading from there to this place,
would be light. Breeze has said
before that he does not care which
way the road from Fort Valley
goes to connect with the G. S. &
F. railroad, whether by Hender-
sod, Grovania,Deonard, Bonaire,or
to Well3ton;all Fort Valley wants
is the road, and it will depend up
on the enterprise of the people as
to which place secures this con
venience. Now let the good peo
ple of Dennard hump themselves if
they want a railroad. I can assure
them that if they sit clown and
wait for some one to build it with
out assistance on-their part, they
will never get one, politics or no
politics, as it takes money and en
terprise on the part of people to
build railroads, and not politics.
Marshall Cooper run down ten
little negro ‘-‘crap” shooters last
Friday,and in default of bond they
were sent to Perry jail. If Deputy
Sheriff Riley will give them the
dice, and buck against them, this
gang will soon win the jail from
him, as they are an undone gang
headed by an ex chaingang angel,
who lias assigned each one a place
when they are sent up. Now if
Marshall Cooper will Only appre-
heud some of the gentlemen who
play fifty cent ante with a five dol
lar limit poker game, he will have
clone his full duty. The law is not
satisfied with catching these little
mokes, so let him make a clean
sweep of all kinds of gamblers.
Reports have it that work will
be commenced on Fort Valley’s
waterworks to-morrow, and that
they will be pushed to completion
by the first of August. The com
pletion of this enterprise means a
great deal for Fort Valley’s suc
cessful future, and will no doubt
be the cause of many uew manu
facturing enterprises, which \yill
increase Fort Valley’s population
and volume of business.
Col. Sam. T. Niel lias returned
from Washington, where he at
tended the inauguration, and re
ports the grandest time of his life,
bnt prizes the fact that he jumped
baby Ruth Cleveland as he does
his own darlings, as the crowning
event of his life. Col. Niel and his
chum, Speaker Bill Atkinson, lin
gered in the White House until af
ter hours, and were locked within.
Hackit not been for the Colonel’s
cap and military pants they might
have been turned over to the au
thorities.
Mr. Frank O. Miller will leave
next week on an extended trip
through the west in. the interest of
the Georgia Agricultural Works.
■«. Messrs. J. D. Arrick, of Blaine,
Ohio, and W. H Breidenstein, of
Bellaire, Ohio, who are largely in
terested in lands here, are spend
ing some time in Fort Valley look
ing after their interests,and having
a good time generally. They are
affable gentlemen; and.have made
many friends among our people.
Mrs. McFarland and daughter,
Miss Jean, of Des Moines, Iowa,
are visiting the family of Mr. N.
Deitzen, at.their suburban home.
The Fort Valley Leader* is cer

they are bound to have the best

President, Cleveland. his uni
changed his ha'nfs since h was'in

-morning last week he-has been at

and midnight has found him siili
at that desk nearly every 'tight. It

Time-he has-been, given but little

numerous callers.
The semi-official announcement
that President Cleveland would
not remove until the end of their*
terms, except for causes other than
political, any of what are known as
four-year officials—that is, officials
commissioned for a term of four
years, resulted in lessening in a
small degree the pressure for office,
but there is still enough, and to
spare, as may be seen aud heard
on all sides. ' -
Speaking of office-seekers, the
number of- them now in Washing

by tbe newspapers. I have no|

tions for office than ever before is
true or not, but I do know, as do
the Washington hotel keepers to
their sorrow, that the number of
men seeking offices in person is to
day much smaller than it was
months after the, inauguration of
Harrison. - It is probably true that
many of the thousands of demo
crats who came to the inaugura
tion and remained until the first
of last week were office-seekers,
but if so they filed their papers
and went, back home after paying
their respects to the President and
his cabinet, and our hotels are not
much more crowded at this time
than is usual at this season. And
at none of them can be found the
seething, lond-talking crowds
which were their most prominent
features until midsummer follow
ing Harrison’s" inauguration. It
is just as well to tell the truth
about these things. There are
democrats here after the offic.es
which they believe their work in
the campaign entitles them to—
unfortunately more of them than
there are offices to be filled—but
there is no such crowdiug and
wild scrambling as has been rep
resented. .
Rumors are plenty, but there
are no facts about President Cleve
land’s intentions concerning the
treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii. Princess Kauilani, heir-
,ess to a throne that does not exist,
turned up in Washington last
week, but why or wherefore is not
apparent.
There has been lots of tom-fool
talk because ’ the populist Sena-
tort, Peffer, Kyle, and Allen, were
not invited to attend the democrat
ic caucus, while Martin, of Kan
sas, was. There was nothing
strange or unusual about it. Mar
tin is a democrat, although he af
filiates, to a certain extent, with
the populists, while neither of the
other three make any claim to be
ing democrats.
It is more than probably that
President Cleveland aud his cabi
net are giving more attention to
the critical financial condition of
the country than they are to mak
ing appointments to office. The
offices can wait, but the continued
demand npon the Treasury for
gold mast be met, or the country
will be plunged into a panic; the
result aud end of which ho.man
can predict. Secretary Carlisle is
confident of being able to meet all
demands for gold, but is not yet
prepared to make his plans pablic.
The prevalent opinion seems to be
that an issue of bones will have tb
be made.
Mrs; Cleveland is more popular
than ever before, and about the
first question the-stranger asks is

dent’s wife. She hasheld no pab
