Copies of this paper may be fouud ou file at the office of oar Washington cor respondent, E. G. Siegers, 916 F Street, N. W., Washington, 1). C. A begiment of soldiers will soon be withdrawn from Cuba. Democratic national con%ention at Kansas City next Wednesday. The Chinese puzzle is occupying the political attention of the world. A mid-summer fair is now in prog ress at Brunswick, and will continue through the week. It would be good politics for the democrats to nominate Ex-Senator David B. Hill of New York for vice president. The Barnesville Chautauqua will open next Sunday, and continue six days. Very cheap passenger rates over the Central railroad. * .Fighting continues in -the Philip pine Islands, and there are no posi tive indications of early peace and civil government in the island. From.South Africa it is reported that the British forces are steadily closing in around the Boers, and that the end of the war is near. Democratic campaigners will miss their calling if they fail to make prominent. the great evils that grow out of the republican protective tar iff policy. A protective tariff is the root of great government evil in this coun try, and for this and other political outrages the republican party is re sponsible. Since the present rainy season be gan, seventeen bridges have been washed away in Bibb county, and the public roads are in a dreadful condition. National political lines will be made clear next week, and then the great fight for supremacy between democracy and republicanism will be active and earnest. vention there have been voices of discontent, there being charges of lack of faith in making the plat form, and in matters of patronage apportionment. However, there is two much of future pickings at stake for such things to prevent a desperate fight for continued repub lican suprepiacy, and it can go with out saying that the full power of all the republican leaders and the fa vored monopolies will be given the campaign for the election of McKin ley anil Roosevelt. The several provinces of Australia have formed a confederation, but through choice the general govern ment remains subject to the sover eignty of England. A short while ago a boy died in Americus from the effects of a dog bite. Since then 150 dogs have been killed in that city, shot guns and poison having been used. The situation in China steadily becomes more serious, and the con elusion has been about reached that it is a war of China against the civ ilized nations of the world. The Barnesville Chautauqua pro gramme is exceptionally enticing. Among the speakers are some of the best orators in America, and all who attend will be well entertained. Genuine prosperity does not wait upon political parties, but prosperity will be most extensive under good government. Reason, therefore, de mands the defeat of republicanism next fall. A declaration of independence of the masses of the people from the dominion of the favored classes will be issued by the democrats who will meet in convention at 'Kansas City on the fourth of July. If the democrats desire to gain a liberal contribution to the campaign fund in exchange for a. political honor, .they will nominate W. F. Hearst, of the New York Journal, for vice president. He is able to pay a big price. The court clerks^ sheriffs, chiefs of police and marshals of Georgia will meet in convention bn'Tybee Island on July 11th. The ordinaries of the state have been called to meet in Atlanta on July 18th; the -occasion of the battlefield re-union. Within three weeks the price of wheat has advanced 21£. cents a bushel at Chicago, and of course a corresponding advance ip the price of flour will follow. Georgia wheat growers will have further cause to be proud of their wheat crop this year. The Georgia delegation to the democratic nationol conventian at Kansas City will leave Atlanta on a special train at 8:80 o’clock next Sunday evening. The Constitution' says the party will contain a large number of representatives of demo cratic county organizations besides the 52 delegates and alternates. While in Kansas City their head quarters will be at the Baltimore Hotel In the United States and Canada last year life insurance companies paid policy claims to the amount of §185,821,168. In Georgia the claims paid aggregated $2;599,713. The total claims paid of all sorts, includ ing dividends, - annuities, cash sur- rendea.values and claims in foreign countries, aggregated $268,819,276. These figures are taken from the In surance Press; "published in New York City. McKinley and Roosevelt. The republican national conven tion at Philadelphia last week was a peculiar political affair, in that its seeming harmony existed only on the surface. Senator Hanna dominated every thing except the nomination of vice president, and that was given against his advice and earnest efforts. The nomination of William Mc Kinley was a certainty six months ago, and no other name was^consid- ered. He received the full vote of the convention; Gov. Theodore Roosevelt of New York was nominated for vice presi dent, receiving every vote except one—his own. The fall force of the administra tion was used, through Senator Hanna, to prevent the nomination of Roosevelt, but the demand from the west was too great, and tho rough rider was made to ride rough ly over the administration puipose to nominate Secretary Long of the navy department. A peculiar feature of the situation is that Roosevelt has never been a genuine republican, and has hereto fore made more trouble for the “G. 0. P.” in New York than any other man not a leader of democrats. Even as governor of New York ho has not been a typical republican, and his nomination was. merely a sop” to -the western demaud and a bid for tha New York vote. The platform is a typical republi can document - made up chiefly of plaudits for the republican adminis tration and condemnation of the democratic party. Hypocritical in action, the voice of -the party is the voice of hypocrisy, going furthest on that line in the declaration against the trusts that have hereto fore bought the success given to the republican party ih elections.

Having read the “Foolishness” of “G. Whiz,” I am inclined to say something. He sort of pnt me to thinking. He laments the decline of common sense in the world; and it is easy to believe that his lamen tations are not hysterical.

The fools have a safe ma jority, and are trying to make the thing unanimous. And there are so many weaklings who gravitate to ward the winning aide. Neverthe less, a sound utilitarianism progress es steadily. Howbeit, some of our modern conveniences are very troub lesome. It is said that novelists, jousnal- ists and pedagogues arc promoters of foolishness. They explain that their patrons are the potters, and themselves the clay. Why not say mud? The subject is altogether too broad for discussion here. One point each must suffice. Trilby was a phenomenal sensa tion. Very soon Trilby was not- a sensation at all, and the same people were still alive. Everybody under stands now that the lull of x enthusi asm was a return of sanity. Every novelist aims to inspire a similar craze, and his readers desire to be drunk again. I remember that several promi nent newspapers in Georgia, several Since the adjournment of the con- years ago, began at the same time This Government and China. That this government has, in con cert with other nations, an impera tive duty to perform in China in con sequence of the fanatical insurrection there is a fact recognized by all pa triots. Hatred of foreigners and the Christian religion is the founda tion of the np-rising, and everthing portaining to the objects of their fa natical hatred is threatened with destruction. Already there has been destretion of life and property at Pe kin, Tien Tsin, Taka and at several other points. Warhips and men from Enngland, Russia, Germany, France, Italy, Japan and the United States have been sent there, and several engagements have resulted. It is believed the government of China has endorsed the Boxers by counsel and by action of war, and the situation is extremely critical Our endangered representatives, missionaries and citizens most be rescued, to say nothing of the finan cial interests imperiled, and the de mand is urgent for the best efforts of army and naval forces. Pending the performance of this great and grave duty in China, there should be no expression of political criticism to hamper prompt and effectual action. It is regreta- ble, therefore, that politicians are trying to make political capital out of the situation. We hope the fol lowing from our Washington-corres pondent is overdrawn: 'Imperialistic feeling on the Chi nese situation is rapidly forming in Republican ranks in Washingty City, and it is being urged by responsible leaders that the United States most take some Chinese territory as in demnity for its expenses in sending troops there. It is even seriously asserted that such action wonld be actually a matter of justice to the Chinese. It is said the United States and Great Britain are the only nations in the. world that have liberal ideas and that believe in jus tice toward their subjects. If China falls altogether into the hands of the European nations,; a yoke of tyr- anpy will be fastened upon the Chi nese which thpy will will be unable rnle”. of. the United States to that of military despotism. Further, the United Slates would, it is said, al ways permit the government of in terior China free access to . the sea over its" territory, a Tight that China will lose if the. process of .partition is; continued much longer. In short, it is said that the United States woiild grant to. its Chinese subjects “as great a measure of local self-govern ment as was consistent, with their] ze av- ’ -D in "g |s - welfare,” which Europe, it is claim ed, would not do. George HI, it will be remembered, once made a similar remark about his American colonies.” to advertise the doctrine of protec tion. Their regular patrons did not buy this stuff, and it wonld be inter esting to know who did. The differ ence between one of these papers, and Benedict Arnold, is not so much a matter of principle, as of opportu nity . John D. Rockefeller gave millions to an institution where young men are to be trained for club life. Other emulous institutions gaze and gape. Envy is a kind of madness and they have it bad. With what means they have, and to the uttermost limit of their credit, they are making dis play, which is the worst evil that exists—except some others.

Concerning the establishment of canning factories throughout the fruit-growing sections of the state, the Montezuma Record says: “We notice that in many commu nities small fruit and vegetable can ning outfits, costing twenty-five to fifty dollars, and capable pf several hundred cans daily, are being intro duced'this year. This is an inviting field for community co-operation. There is - not a more profitable ad junct to farming than the saving of the waste from summer fruits and vegetables and there is a home mar ket for much more than will be put up. When we get to keeping the money at home that is always pour ing out for the things that we can have at home, we will have no cause to growl at Providence for the de linquency of the seasons.” The recent organization of anoth er great sugar refining company, un der the laws of New Jersey, with a capital stock of $10,000,000 prefer red, and $10,000,000 common stock, has created considerable stir in bus iness and financial circles. The war between the Havemeyer Sugar Trust and the Arbuckk Sugar Company has been intense, and with a third competitor entering the field it seems to promise sufficient competi tion to prevent excessive prices for refined" sugar; and the fact that the margin between the market price of refined and raw sugars is less to-day than it was a year or two ago indi cates that the public is benefitting by the competition of these giant concerns. — Washington Financial Review.

In reply to the ball team on the other side of nowhere is this: “That baso ball is the thing of the past; that we have stopped play ing-such teams as they are. Their pitcher seems to be such a fine playej. We want to hire him to pitch for Baltimore. Elko can get some good ones oft' on other teams if they will let them keep the score when they play ball. They want ns to come to Elko, but we were in Elko last, and the boys were scared until all left but three; they were brave. Good bye, Elko. Thirty-seven people were killed in a wreck near McDonough on the Sonthern railroad last Sunday after noon, the victims being on a passen ger train from Macon for Atlanta. The culvert over Camp Creek, hav ing been undermined bvjexcessive rain, gave way when the rain rolled upon it, precipitating the engine, coaches and people into the swolen stream .beneath. Several of the cars caught fire .when the crash came, adding to the horrors of the situa- ation. The entire crew of the train and a majority of the passengers were killed or wounded. Of the victims, all were white except sev en, and twenty were Georgians, fif teen of them having been residents of Atlanta. This *is said to be the most disastrous railroad wreck that ever occurred in the south. The Bibb County Cotton Grow ers’ Association was organized at Macon last Saturday. The officers of the association are: Thomas R. Ayer, president; Jerre B. Willis, vice president; G. W. Howard, secretary; J. F. Heard, treasurer. Associations have been organized in Pulaski and other counties, and President Harvie Jordan, of the state association, will endeavor to secure the organization of an association in each county of the state. In Georgia there are about 80 cotton mills operating about 900,- 000 spindles and employing more than 19,000 people.
