Considerable numbers of Filip

The city authorities of Augusta

The republicans of the senate

Huntington is opposed to it, and
Huntington is a republican, and

After tbe election the bill may be

President McKinley refused to
receive the Boer envoys in their of
ficial capacity, for the reason that
this government has heretofore no
tified Great Britain of its willing
ness to act as mediator in bringing
about peace, but the tender was
declined, and the United States
could do no more than remain in
a position of strict neutrality be
tween the belligerents.
The Supreme court of the United
States has decided in favor of the
Democratic contestant for Govern
or of Kentucky. Taylor, the Re
publican claimant to the Govern
orship, and against whom there is
an indictment as accessory before
the fact to the murder of Goebel,
has trekked to a copje over in In
diana, whose governor refuses to
extradite those who have been in
dicted for this foul crime.
The eclipse of the sun is billed

Potash Farrow has witnessed
tho degradation and suffering im
pased upon the people of North
Carolina by the fusion of the Re
publican and Populist parties, and
wishes to inflict the same upon
Georgia by a similar alliance, iu
the hope, we presume, that some
toll will come to his mill iu the
wild carnival of rottenness and
debauchery that would surely fol
low. Mr. Farrow will find that
the true Populists of this state
are made out of different stuff
from what he thinks.
The Republican post office offi
cials, who were selected by Hanua
and appointed by McKinley, to
take charge of postal affairs in
Cuba, have been carrying on a
systematic scheme of robbery since
their arrival there Some $200,000
has been made away with already,
and the thieves have acknowledged
their guilt. It is the desire for
plunder that has united the g. o. p.

the larger the number of opportu

Henry Potash Fairow, the re
publican postmaster at Gaines
ville, and chairman of that party
for this congressional district, and
who made himself so odious to
the white people of Georgia dur
ing the Bullock regime, is advis
ing a fusion with the populist
party, at the October election.
We hope Mr. Farrow will suc
ceed in this undertaking, as it
would result in wiping out the
populist party in this state and a
drawing of the lines squarely be
tween the democratic and republi
can parties.
It is known that a large ele
ment of what is known as the
middle-of-the-road populists in
tend to land in the republican
party at the wind up, and the
sooner they get there and stop
their hypocritical pretenses in
favor of undoing the legislation
fastened upon the country by the
republicans, and for reform in in
numerable directions, the better
it will be for everybody.
Four-fifths of the old populist
party is already back in the dem
ocratic ranks, and an overwhelm
ing majority of those who ar» still
holding out will come tumbling
home whenever this unholy al
liance is officially announced.
There are but two parties in this
country that amount to anything.
To have a hand in the affairs of
government, or a voice in the se
lection of those who govern, one
must be either a democrat or a
republican. The time has come
when a choice must be made and
this contemptible masquerading
put an end to.
So come along with your fusing.
SHARP POLITICS.
The Montana legislatare elected
Clarke to the United States sen
ate, and he was duly sworn in as
a member of that august body.
It was charged that he bought his
seat, just like Marcus Aurelius
Hanna did, and a committee was
appointed to investigate and re
port.
Now, Clarke is a democrat, and
Marcus Aurelius is a republican.
It is not considered criminal or
illegal for a republican to buy a
seat in the senate, but proof that
a democrat has been guilty of this
practice is good ground for expul
sion.
This partisan committee found
Clarke guilty, but before a vote
was taken be resigned his seat.
Under the law, the governor of
Montana had the right to appoint
a senator to fill the vacancy thus
created.
The constitution of that state
clothes the lieutenant governor
with all the power of the govern
or, when the latter is disqualified
to discharge the duties of the
office, or is absent from the state.
It so happened that the govern
or was absent when Clarke’s res
ignation was received, attending a
court in California,
It is said that the governor
knew Clarke was going to resign,
and went to California so that
the lieutenant governor could ap
point him to the senate, suppos
ing that both of them being popu
lists he would be glad of au op
portunity to appoint him to the
position.
To the astonishment and con
sternation of the governor, how
ever, the acting governor re-ap
pointed Clarke, and he cannot be
denied his Beat, unless the republi
can majority ignores the law and
refuses to admit him without any
plausible excuse.
(.TIiIKKS ANU STRIKERS.
Within the memory of every
middle aged reader of the News-
Herald such organizations as the
present labor unions were un
known, and each individual was
free to contract for work at his
own figures, and employers had
the unquestioned right to hire
such persons as they desired.
Time has brought radical chan
ges in these particulars. Now,
especially in the populous cities,
all classes of working people have
formed unions for the purpose,
not only of regulating the prices
employers must pay for the dif
ferent kinds of work, but also for
prohibiting the employment of
those who do not belong to these
organizations from working at all.
A laborer who does not belong
to the union cannot be employed
on the same job with those who
do, and if the employer violates
this rule a strike is called and the!
work stops, unless a sufficient
number of non-uuionists, or
“scabs,” as they are derisively
called, can be found to carry it
on.
Bitter enmity exists between
the union men and the ‘‘scabs,”
and whenever a strike is called
the latter are prohibited from
taking the vacated places, and
taunts, jeers, and mob violence
are resorted to for the purpose of
preventing the employer from car
rying on his business.
These unions rule their mem
bers with a firm and unrelenting
grasp, if any of them have a job
which suits, either as to pay or
the character of the work per
formed, they must throw it up
and walk out, if the majoritv of
the members of that particular
union want larger pay and fewer
hours of work, and order a strike,
because of a refusal to comply
with the demand on tbe employer,
either tor less work or higher
wages, as the case may be. Nine
times out of ten the strike fails,
and the result is that many of
those engaged in it and have fam
ilies dependent on them for sup
port and maintenance, uot only
lose their time and employment,
but must of necessity see their
wives and children suffer for the
commonest necessaries of life.
These strikes often end in blood
shed and the loss of thousands of
dollars of property by violence
and fire. In the city of Pittsburg,
Penn., the striker’s mob destroyed
several millions of dollars worth
of property by fire, and the same
thing occurred in Chicago, during
Cleveland’s administration. In
the Chicago trouble the whole
city would have been reduced to
ashes if the federal government
had not interfered and suppressed
the lawlessness with troops.
The street cars are, practically,
tied up in St. Louis now, and the
strikers are preventing the com
panies from running them with
non-union men. There are a
plenty of these anxious to do the
work, but are prevented by the
strikeis, who block the tracks,
stone the cars, and fire on the
conductors and motormen. Sev
eral lives have already been lost,
and quite a number of people
wounded, aud the end is not yet
in sight.
Those who participate in these
riotous proceedings are criminals
before the law, aud liable to in
dictment and punishment, but the
majority of them escape this,
through the misplaced sympathy
of unthinking people.
No one questions the right of
people engaged in the various
crafts, trades and callings to or
ganize societies for their mutual
protection, in a legal way. They
have the right to fix a scale of
prices for their work, and the
number of hours that shall con
stitute a day’s work, aud to re
fuse to labor for less money, or to
work more hours in a day, but
they have no right to interfere
with other people who are anxious
and willing to work for less pay
and more hours out of the twenty
four, aud when they keep this lat
trr class out of employment by
violence or threats, they should
be prosecuted aud punished to the
full extent of the law.
In tins free country every man
has tbe right to be his own mas
ter, if he violates no law, ai.d is
entitled to work when, where and
at such prices as suits him, and
should be proteceed in the enjoy
ment of it.
Enters a Protest.
Mr. Editor:— l would like to write
a line or two for your paper on the sub
ject of “raising the tax.” Nearly ev
ery nian in this neighbor hood has been
“raised” by our grand jury. AVhere do
they get the authority for their action,
“if in their judgment, etc. What is
their judgment worth compared to the
judgment of the man who knows every
foot of his land and its capabilities ?
My place is frequently, or occasionally,
overflowed by the river, and instead of
making deposits, it washes it away
About one-tnird is in cnltivation or
cleared, the balance in wooded hills,
with no timber in the trees. For a few
years I have been estimating it at $lO
per acre The tax commissioners a
few years ago “raised it” about $2.00
per acre. Our grand jury now comes
to the front with their “judgment” and
“raised it” to about $lB per acre.
There was not a man on that jury
who ever worked a foot of my land
that I know of, and probably never saw
it except while traveliug along the
road. Now, I am a good citizen, so
called, and love Gwinnett county and
the state of Georgia, and have paid my
tax without a word, and it has been
heavy sometimes, but I don’t like for
one man nor twelve men to say that I
have sworn a lie, or that 1 don’t know
anything about my place, and if they
are to say what tax we shall pay on
our land, it would be as well for them
to price everything else, and save us
the time and trouble of meeting the
Keceiver. l'he“schedule”covers about
everything a man can possibly have,
and they want him to pay tax on ev
erything, don’t allow him anything at
all to live on.
1 think it is giving men too much
liberty, latitude and longitude, to say
what tax a man shall pay. unless they
actually know more about it than he
does. It is to be hoped that they (the
grand jury) “raised” their tax too.
1 saw in your paper sometime ago
some advice to voters, one item in ref-
I erence to tax reform. If tax reform
means putting up or “raising” every
body's tax, I, for one, don’t want any
man who will advocate such a measure.
It is about all a farmer can do to live,
and have a few necessary comforts,and
if our public officials (grand juries and
, such) had to economise and work hard,
! they would think twice before they
j “raised” anyone ; that is, if they have
] the right kind of human nature in
proper quantities.
With kind wishes,
Kespectfnlly,

Mr. Whaley's Letter on Populism.
Bkrmoda, Ga., May 21,1300.
Editoh N>ws-Hnui.D:—l'lease al
i low me space in your valuable paper
!to say a few things in regard to poli
; tics.
I left the Democratic party in 1592
and joined the People's Party. 1 was
honest in my convictions in doing so
I ran truthfully say that I am equally
: honest in returning to the Democratic
party.
j The People’s Party is a dead failure,
| It is like the old negro praying for the
sinners. He said : “Lord, take dey feet
out ob de mire an' de clay an’ sink dem
knee deep in de rock whar hope an’
mercy nebber can reach 'em.” That is
just about the condition of the Popu-
I lists today. They are where the hope
of office can never reach them. The
only hope tbe Populists now have is
to keep up confusion and division in
the South so as to defeat the Democrat
ic party in the coming election. Now.
won’t that be a consolation? That’s
patriotism, isn't it ?
I am strongly of the opinion that
I Wharton Barker is standing in the
j middle of the road barking for the Re
! publican party; and he is not barking
| for nothing, either, like the most of us
who have been barking for seven years
for nothing and boarding ourselves
The question is, Are we patriotic, or
are we partisan ? If we are patriotic,
we will not hesitate to Join in the pro
cession with the Democrats and anchor
the old free silver boat inside the gates
of victory.
It doesn’t matter what dog jumped
the rabbit, it is our business to help
catch it. Wharton Barker may have
been after the rabbit, but he has taken
back track on it and will never catch
it in the world. Let us lay aside all
strife and hatred. With one united ef
fort we may expect a glorious victory
next fall.

CATARRH CAN BE CURED BY
Johnston’s Sarsaparilla
QUART BOTTLES*
44 DANGER IN THE EARTH AND AIR; DANGER EVERYWHERE/*
A Wise and Venerable Doctor Talks about Advanced Science.
In a leading hotel, in a great city, a famous and aged physician was convert
ing. Listening to his wise and sententious discourse, were a group of well
dressed men, evidently lawyers, business men and commercial travelers.
My firm belief, is “that medical science is certain yet to show that all dis
eases without exception are caused bv invisible germs which are living organ
isms. Here is the germ of that terrible disease diphtheria. Here is the bacillus
of typhoid fever; and here is the still more dreadful bacillus of tubercle which
causes that most destructive of all diseases, consumption. This of that very
common and supposed incurable disease, catarrh.”
“I wish, Doctor,” said the traveling man, “that you would tell us about
catarrh. I have had it for years, and lam thoroughly discouraged. ’*
The Doctor answered. “Catarrh, like diphtheria, consumption, typhoid
fever, and a host ol other diseases, is the result of a microbe invading the blood
and attacking specially the mucous membrane. This foul and most disgusting
disease is especially prevalent in the United States and it is rare to meet one
who is not, or has not been troubled more or less with it. Mow often is he or
she obliged to remain at home from pleasant entertainments, deprive themselves
of many intellectual treats, from fear of the disagreeable odor arising from ca
tarrhal affections. In its worst phase, the patient becomes loathsome both to
himself and his friends.
“I believe,” continued this gre+t physician, “that the true wav to heal ca
tarrh is to medicate the blood. This can be done only by powerful alteratives
which act as blood purifiers.”
Betsy A. Marett, of Manistee, Manistee Co., Mich., writes:
Dear Sirs:—For ten years I was a sufferer from general debility and chronic
catarrh. My face was pale as death. I was weak and abort of breath. I could
hardly walk, I was so dizzy and had a ringing in my head all the time. My
hands and feet were always oold. My appetite was very poor. On getting up
in the morning, my head swam so I waa oiten obliged to lie down again. I had
awful pains in the small at my back. 1 had a continual feeling of tiredness.
My muscular power was almost entirely gone, and I couldn’t go half a dozen
steps without stopping to rest, and often that much exercise caused me to have
a pain in my side. It seemed ss though the blood had left mv veins. The doc
tors said my blood had all turned to water. I had given up all hope of ever get
ting well. I tried the best physicians in the state, but failed to get any relief.
My husband got me a bottle of Johnston’s Sarsaparilla. I took it, ana theu I
bought another. When these bad been used, I was somewhat improved in
health. I continued its use, and felt I was growing stronger; my sleep was re
freshing, and it seemed as if I could feel new blood moving through my veins. I
kept on taking it, and now consider mvtelf a well and rugged womaa. I work
all the time, and am happy. lam positive that the Sarsaparilla saved my life.
The sick headaches I have had since childhood, have disappeared, and my ca
tarrh has almost entirely left me. I cannot be too thankful for what Johnston’s
Sarsaparilla has done ror me. I recommend all women who have sick head
aches to use your Sarsaparilla.
