National politics now takes the
foremost position.
The republicans at Philadelphia
have about fixed their ticket and

Some of the Eritish troops in
South Africa have been released
from active service, and others or
dered to China.
The proposition to organize a ne
gro political party and place a negro
presidential ticket in the field is espe
cially distasteful to the republicans.
Bishop Holsey wants the negroes
colonized in the Philippine Islands,
because he thinks the island will not
be occupied generally by white peo
ple,as he thinks Africa will be finally.
Senator Hanna was only ‘•fun
ning” when he said he would not
manage the republican national cam
paign this year. He controls the ad
ministration now, and is unwilling
to turn loose.
Protective tariff is a creature of
republicanism, and trusts are creat
ures of the protective tariff. Defeat
the republican candidates next No
vember, and get rid of the entire
gang of disreputable suckers.
Gen. Joseph Wheeler has been
commissioned brigadier general in
the regular army of the United
States, and is assigned to command
the Department of the Lakes, with

Home rule for Cuba seems to be
in process of formation. Municipal
elections were held last Saturday in
Havana and the other cities of the
island. All the mayors and a majority
of other officers elected are mem
bers of the National party, Cubans
who were engaged in the late war
with Spain. Many failed to vote.
Senator Bacon, says the Macon
Telegraph, has “sworn off on mush
rooms.” Several days ago he ate
what he chout were mushrooms, but
they were toadstools. He became
so seriously ill that the service of
two physicians was required. The
senator was promptly relieved, and
in order to avoid absolutely another
such mistake, he is resolved not to
eat mushrooms again.

Campaign -Material at Government
Expense.
The greatest contention of demo
crats against the trustworlhiness of
republicanism in politics, is that
when in office they use the govern
ment as if it belonged to them. Re
publican administrations are ever
conducted for the benefit of the re
publican party, with the interests of
the country held as affairs of sec
ondary importance. *
An example of this fact is given
by our Washington correspondent,
as follows:
“The republicans have made a
new departure in having them cam
paign text book for this fall pre
pared-in a government office and at
government expense. My. O. P. Aus
tin, chief of the Bureau of Statistics,
has immediate charge of the work,
and;is devoting time to the prepara
tion of figures and to the writing of
other matter. Mr. Austin’s salary
as chief of bureau is a very lucrative
one, and the bureau is supposed to
be devoted entirely to the prepara
tion of impartial and non-partisan
statistics. The campaign text book,
on the other hand, is well under
stood to present information of a de
cidedly prejudiced character. While
the statements printed therein pur
port to be and are generally more or
less correct, they Jare ex-parte, and
do not show the other side of the
argument The republican text book
usually contains some 400 or 500
pages, and is not fully made up and
printed until some time after the
national conventions. It is the guide
of the thousands of speakers and
spellbinders who work for the suc
cess of the republican ticket. With
in its covers they find a skeleton for
their arguments o n almost every
topic under the sun that can enter
into political discussion on the
stump. -The republicans frankly ad
mit that Mr. Austin is preparing the
book and is using government clerks
to help him compile it, but excuse
the fact by saying that his name
will not appear -in -connection with
it. As usual, the book Will be: put
fortix as the. production - of the Na
tional Committee. Mr. Austin is
deservedly respected in this city and
it is understood that he is doing this
work only at the behest of his snpe-
periors in the Treasury Department
and the White House,”
The Georgia State Convention.
Georgia has never known a politi
cal convention so thoroughly harmo
nious as was that of the democratic
party held in Atlanta last Thursday.
There was only one contest before
the convention, for state-at-large del
egates to the national convention,
and that was settled in two ballots.
The nomination of state officers
was merely a ratification of the May
15th primary.
The state-at-large delegates to the
Kansas City convention are: Boykin
Wright, J. J. Spalding, L. F. Gar
rard and Wylie Burnett.
The delegates from the third dis
trict are: J. T. Hill of Dooly and J.
P.^Cooke of Lee. Alternates, W. E.
Steed of Taylor and E. T. Hickey of
Stewart.
W. C. Nottingham of Twiggs is
the third district elector,.with R. S.
Greer of Macon alternate.
R. N. Holtzclaw of Houston and
J. A. Ausley of Sumpter are the
third district members of the new
executive committee.
Hon. F. G. duBignon remains
chairman of the committee, by vir
tue of his election as permanent
chairman of the convention.
The platform as adopted is a
strong democratic document, devoid
of elements calculated to cause par
ty discord. It is divided into nine
teen articles or paragraphs.
The state administration is en
dorsed, their fidelity and integrity
commended.
Georgia is congratulated on the
public school system and its contin
uance promised.
An amendment to the state con
stitution limiting power of the leg
islature to assess taxes is favored.
Ballot reform insuring free and
intelligent elections is favored.
Election of U. S. Senators by vote
of the people is favored and amend
ment to the federal constitution sug
gested.
Immediate construction of the
Nicaraguan canal. by the United
States is demanded.
• The national platform of 1896 ac
cepted as correct expression of dem
ocratic principles, and the republican
adoption of the single gold standard
denounced.
Trusts condemned, and the enact
ment of such laws as will destroy
them is demanded.
Tariff for revenue only re-affirmed
as correct democratic doctrine.
The abolition of protective tariff
demanded as a means of destroying
trusts. Declaration is made that
congress can prevent the growth of
trusts by the enactment of proper
interstate commerce laws.
It is declared that the constitu
tion of the United States cannot be
successfully applied to a people of
another hemisphere, and the impe
rialistic policy of the present admin
istration is condemned, along with
expressed opposition to the-mainte
nance of a large standing army.
The action of congress in denying
to Porto Ricans the rights of citi
zenship of the United States, by
imposing tariff taxes upon their
products, is denounced as unjust
and in line with the republican pur
pose to establish an empire.
Declaration is made favoring the
expansion of pur trade with foreign
countries, but denial is made of the
policy of acquisition and control of
lands in a distant hemisphere.
Our soldiers and sailors are com
mended for their ioyalty and valor
in the performance of duties assign
ed them, while the administration’s
policy directing their movements is
deplored.
Repeal of the 10 per cent tax on
state bank issues is demanded.
The nomination of W. J. Bryan
for president of the United State* is
favored.
All voters, irrespective of past par
ty affiliations, are cordially invited
to join with the democratic party in
the effort to give relief to the people.

War in China.
The crusade of the Chinese “Box
ers” against all foreigners and Chris
tians in that empire has practically
resulted in war with the balance of
the world.
At first Pekin and Tien Tsin were
the central points of the crusade,
but, the trouble spread. Warships
of the powers were sent into Chi
nese waters, and marines were land
ed to protect the officials and mis
sionaries of the different nations.
The Chinese government made a
pretense of suppressing the Boxers,
but without avail. Then the inter
national fleet made a demonstration
against the forts at Taku. Last
Sunday the fleet was fired upon by
the forts, and this act is regarded as
a practical declaration by China of
war against the world. It is report
ed that two British; warships were
sunk during the firing.
Reports from China are conflict
ing, however, and the exact situa
tion is not known. U. S. ships 'and
troops have been ordered form the
Philippines to China to protect our
interests in the troubled empire.
There can be but one result, the
defeat of the Chinese ■ forces, and
dismemberment of the empire.
Atvmtrat. Schley positively refuses
to permit tho use of his name as a
candidate for vice president on the
democratic ticket. He says; “I
know nothing of politics, nor of po
litical life, and under no circum
stances would I allow the use of my
name before any convention for any
office whatever. * f I am resolved
irrevocably not to accept any nomi-
uation, if it were tendered, and if in
my absence I should be eleeted, I
would not serve,

Foolishness.
The subject is very large. Fool
ishness, like most other things that
are done at all in these times, is
overdone. Since Longfellow wrote
that delirous jingle entitled “Excel
sior,” men have been eager to exag-
geate "things. I really think the po
em never inspired anybody, and was
not itself inspired, but the insane
spirit of it seems to possess men.
For two reasons I hesitate to say
that these is less common sense in
the world than there was fifty years
ago. First I am sorry it is so, and
secondly somebody will want to ar
gue the question. Please say to such
person the situation is mainly due to
novels, and newspapers, and school
teachers. These all declare that their
patrons, and not themselves, are re
sponsible for the unfortunate condi
tion of things. Their patrons pay
for the stuff that is furnished, and
will have nothing else.
The chief promoters of foolishness
are rated, by the masses as men of
distinction. For instance, these op
timistic upstarts who organize socie
ties and call conventions. One of
these conventions proposes to devise
a great scheme whereby the cotton
markets of the -world are to be regu
lated. Producers are to make prices.
I do not know that this bland cajol
ery will win many votes or few, but
I am sure it will not revolutionize
the cotton business. The truth is
there never has been a time when
producers could not price their stuff,
and there never will be a time when
buyers may not decline it at the
price.. Whenever this wonderful
scheme shall be inaugurated the im
mediate result will be chronicled in
the market reports as “buyers and
sellers apart.” If by any means the
buyers shall yield, prices will ad
vance at once, and the market re
ports will not need to be changed
by so much as one tittle. The con
vention aforesaid, unless it is really
after Votes, might just as well pro
ceed to invent a flying machine.
One failure is about as inglorious as
another, except in so far as it in
volves the interests of other people.
I wish to say also that credulous
people sometimes read these news
paper fnlminatious about prosperity,
and are innocent of any suspicion
that they are reading campaign lit
erature. It has come to pass in this
age of higher foolishness that pros
perity is supposed to result, not
from the wisely directed industry
and enterprise of the people, but
from the beneficent administration
of national affairs. From this point
of view, prosperity entitles the ad
ministration ' to a Second term.
Therefore the newspapers that favor
this succession, go prospecting for
prosperity, and if they do not find
it in paying quantities everywhere,
they salt the mines. It isn’t so hard
to find, either, since the new stan
dards have been adopted. In these
piping times, if a rich man makes
money it is said that the community
is prosperous. By this rule, blast and
mildew are good for the cereals.
