i . i aim - y-'"--- — 2EICE, tl.50 A YEAS, IN ADVANCE. ’ Pablished Every Thursday Kerning. Jno.H.IKXDGES, Editor and Publisher Perby, Thursday, June 21. Copies of tliis paper may be found ou file at the office of onr Washington cor respondent, E. G. Siggers, 918 F Street, N. W., Washington, Di C. Tee machine is controlling repub - lican politics. National politics now takes the foremost position. The republicans at Philadelphia have about fixed their ticket and platform. The third district congressional convention will be held at Leesburg on July 17th. The situation in China may bring about far-reaching war, through the jealousies of European powers. — 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 headquarters at Chicago. He re-|. lieves Gen. J. F. Wade. 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. 4- 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. The Woman’s Missionary Conference.

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, Mossy Hill Notes.

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. G. Whiz. A Monster Devil Fish Destroyin'* Ps victim, is a tYpe of OoDstiparioii.
