Getting Away From the People.
Within the last several years there
has been much at home and abroad
to indicate that those who control
this government are imbued with
the idea that the United States
have outgrown the limitations of re
publican simplicity. Every republi
can effort is in the direction of cen
tralization, increasing the power of
the administration and decreasing
the privileges of the people. Impe
rialism has proven exceedingly at
tractive to the prevailing power, and
the government is looking that way
with much yearning.
If the Character of the govern
ment accorded Porto Rico and the
Philippine Islands does not indicate
the trend of republican aspiration,
perhaps the attitude of our adminis
tration with reference to the war in
South Africa and diplomatic deal
ings with kings and emperors might
make the situation clearer.
At the coronation of the young
King of Spain a special envoy rep
resented the United States and re

Three special envoys of the United
States are now in London to attend
the coronation of England^ King.
Yet, at the birth of a new repub
lic very near to the United States,
when the first president of Ouba
was inaugurated, the United States
was not represented by any special
oifioinl, though for more than three
years the government of that island
had been administered by military
officers of this country. Verily, ac
tions speak louder than \yords.
The people must dethrono the re
publican party, else the people will
bo dethroned permanently.
Senator Hanna is contending for

' With all the brag about Terrell’s
winning race, he received less than
half of the popular vote of the state
in the primary. In the next prima
ry the vote of each county should
be certified to the state convention,
and by that body consolidated.
It is said Editor Rainey of the
Dawson News, who will represent
Terrell county in the next legisla
ture, proposes to introduce a bill to
prohibit drinking of liquor on the
capitol premises. That would be a
capital law, providing punishment
for a capitol offense.

It has been frell said that an edu
cated man is a wealth product6r; an
uneduoated mar is merely a day la
borer. One has his brains to assist
the skill of his hands, and the two
together—brains and skill—is a
combinasion which has made na
tions wealthy and powerful. The
laborer has only the power of mus
cles, and that limits the product of
the world.—Exchange.

At a mass meeting held at Hawk-
insville one day last week, the bar of
that city and citizens of Pulaski
county resolved to present to the
Georgia state democratic convention
a candidate for associate justice of
the Supreme court, in case a vacan
cy is caused by the expected resig
nation of Justice Lewis. The gen
tleman selected is Gapt. J. H. Mar
tin," and those who know him well
cordially subscribe to the endorse
ment accorded him by the people of
his home city and county.
The Chautauqua edition of the

qua will be formally opened. The
program for each day through the
week is attractive, and the whole
will prove interesting and instruct
ive to all who attend. Low round-

Sinoe the state primary there have
been published complaints in many
counties about the slowness of the
count at certain precincts. We give
one: The Cordele Sentinel says at
Vienna the count of 395 votes was
not concluded until 2;30 o’clock in
the morning. No direct charge of
unfairness in the count has been ut
tered outright, but in some counties
suoh has been intimatod. We •!.> i
not believe that there was any'
oheating, but that the tardiuess w«n
caused by inexperienoe, the unusual
length of the tioket and the new
method. At Perry the count of 238
votes was concluded, the result an
nounced, the papers signed and the
entire returns, locked up before nine
o’clock. It is uncharitable to inti
mate dishonesty to any board of
managers because they were slow.
Hon. H. G. Lewis, associate jus
tice of the Supreme court of Geor
gia, is in ill health, and it is intima
ted that he will resign on or before
October 1st. Considering this prob
ability, a question has arisen con
cerning his successor, but it is
agreed that if it is known that he
will resign before the meeting of the
state democratic convention, that
body will nominate his successor, to
be elected in October. Should the
resignation be delayed, the govern
or would appoint until a special
election could be ordered. In con
nection with this rumor, several
gentlemen have been named as pros
pective candidates: Gapt. J. H. Mar
tin of Hawkinsville, Judge Felton,
DuPont Guerry, J. H. Hall and oth
ers of Macon, several of Atlanta and
other north Georgia towns.

It would not be right to measure
a man’s democracy by the liquor
question. Whether or not, or how,
liquor shall be sold is not a question
of party politics, but one of morality
and conscience, and each voter
should decide in accord with a
higher measure than that of politi
cal policy. Should the state con
vention declare local option a part
of the party platform of principles,
or policies, then a man believing in
and advocating prohibition would
be declared not a democrat. Let
morality influence politics, but don’t
attempt to measure morality with
the yardstick of political policy.

Col. Estill has asked Chairman
Brown of the state committee for a
recount of the primary vote in about
20 counties, declaring that he has
reason to believe that the correction
of irregularities would so change
the result as to give him a chance
to receive the nomination. Chair
man Brown declares he has no pow
er to order a recount, and says the
protest must be submitted to the
convention. In comment others say
that the demand should be made to
the committees of the counties des
ignated.
