The British still have the Boers on the home run, in Africa, and the end of the war is almost in sight. Considerable numbers of Filip pino soldiers and their officers are surrendering their arms and them selves to the Americans. The city authorities of Augusta are enforcing the law which re quires the street car companies to provide separate cars for the two races, and the negroes are now re fusing to ride on them. Let ’em walk. The republicans of the senate do net intend to let the Nicarauga canal bill pass during this session. Huntington is opposed to it, and Huntington is a republican, and would probably hold back his campaign contribution if the measure was enacted into a law. After tbe election the bill may be passed. 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 to come off about 8 o’clock next Monday morning. It will not be total here, the line of totality run ning through middle Georgia. Barnesville, Jackson, and Indian Springs will be in this line. The U. S. Naval Observatory has made extensive preparations at Barnes ville for taking observations, and every phase of it will be accurate ly photographed, if the day is clear. 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. on the policy of territorial expan aion. The more islands we annex the larger the number of opportu nities for stealing. Close calculation has put the number of Veterans at the Con federate Reunion at Louisville, May 80th-June Brd, at 40,000, and the number of visitors at 100,000. The bulk of them will travel part of the way by the Seaboard Air Line, Railway, because, it carries them through the battlefields. Do TOU TAKE yOUB COUNTY FA MB? WANT TO TT&K. 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, OSK OV TUB liilSKll. The Seaboard is the battlefield route to the Confederate Reunion at Louisville, May 80th-June 3rd. 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. J. D. Whalky, CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

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. anomoAsr sxiu<a oompaitt, dwtrozt, kxok. A. aM. WINN SON, LAW HE NOE VILLE, GA.
