THE DMI 0 CRA 7 ICPLAT¬ FORM. 1 - Resolved, That we, the democrats ©f Georgia, in convention assembled, reaffirm our devotion to the time-honored principles of onr historic party. We |»elieve that the powers delegated by the people should be strictly construed; that the autonomy of states and the rights of local self-government and home rule should.be[zealously guarded: that no money should be taken from the people tinder any pretext for other than public purposes; that the strictest should be exercised in all governmental expenditures, whether local, state or tional;that legisation shonld be confined to the legitimate objects of the govern¬ ment ; that public office is a solemn public trust, 2 • We believe that the same carecau" tion should be used by the government, both state and rational, in the expendi turejof public money asjis usedjby prudent men in their ow n private affairs • 3. Wefbelieve that the right of taxa tion was delegated to the government both state and national, to be used only for absolute necessities, and any other use of this power is dishonest and tyrannical • 4. A surplus revenue in tha treasury is a glittering prize to be sought after by political thieves and plunderers. 5. we are uncompromisingly opposed to the enlargement and cone ntiation of federal powers; to the usurpation by central government; of the functions state; to boundties and subsidies in everj form; to every species of class legislation and government partnership with enterprises; to the whole theory and practice of patemalisn. 6. we who have within a generation seen elections opened by the tap of drum, and the judicial powers of the state usurped be court irnriial, and a legislature seized by a fui’iiary clerk,and the legally elect* <1 i * j 11 u ntatives of Ihe people turned out of office to make by force a suhseivient majority, have no derive t° take any chances on the politi¬ cal future. 7. we consider the government control of postoffices as necessary and proper, because the seal of letter, protects the private affair of the citiz< n from govern¬ mental espionage, but -we prote t except n the regulation of prices aeainst ex tending this control over telegraphs and telephones, and placing in our midst horde of office holders who will only be amenable to national laws and may at any time, by the will of the majority,or, as often happens in our federal affairs, by the will of a minority, be turned spies and informers, white we governmental ownership of railroads we endorse our state railroad cammission lews, and demand that the powers of the interstate railioad commission be enlarged so as to provide a “rigid, est and just control” of railroad tion. 8. we demand the free and coinage both silver and gold on a parity with each other t<> the end that the mon¬ ey of the people shall be suclyn and quality as was"originally ted by tiie constitution. !). we demand that the 10 per cent tax on state bank issues stii< ken < ut of the national tank law and when this is done we desire that uniform system of banking be for by the legislature cf Georgia, with flexible expansive state bank we further demand that tho in the national bank law against real es'ate as security for loans shall stricken there from. 10. we demand that the amount the circulation medium ire speedily creased on a sound basis sufficient to the needs of the country . 11. we demand that congress pass such laws ns will effectually tlv dealing in futures of all and mechanical productions; stringent system of procedure in that w ill secure piempt conviction, imp* sing such penalties as shall the most perfect compliance with law. 12. Rt lievii <i in the doctrii.es of lights to all and special privileges to we demand a. '1 liat onr national legislation ska be ro framed in the futere as to 1 build nj> one industiy at the expt me another. b.D'e regard as the most import issue la-lore the people a reform of tin present iniquitous tariff and we a removal of the exiting heavy ta' iff ficm the lieu sssities of life, that pool of our land must have. . w < nidi nnnda just and able system of graduated tax on d we believe that the money of country should he kept as much as ble iu the hands of the peop'e, and hi wre demand that national and state reve¬ nue shall l>e limited to the necessary j>ense of the government and honestly administered. 14. We demand retrench and reform in f ke expenditure of national revenues and especially a correction of the present pension system which rests like a mam¬ moth war tax on our section of the un¬ ion. 15. We therefore, in a spirit of mutual concession, offer this, our platform, to the democracy of Georgia, and pray that H divine providence may incline our hearts to wisdom, justice and modera¬ tion.

King of Medicines Scrofulous Humor — A Cure “ Almost miraculous “ Wlicn I was 14 years of age I had a severe attack of rheumatism, and after I recovered had to go on crutches. A year later, scrofula, in the form of white swellings, appeared on various parts of my body, and for 11 years i was an invalid, being confined to my bed years. In that time ten or eleven sores ap¬ peared and broke, causing me great pain and suffering. I feared I never should get well. “ Early in 1338 1 went to Chicago to visit a sister, but was confined to my bed most of the time 1 was there. In July I read a book, ‘ A Day with a Circus,’ in which were statements of cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. I was so im¬ pressed with the success of this medicine I decided to try it. To my great gratification the sores soon decreased, and 1 began to feel 1 Ter ar.d in a short time I was up and out of doors. I continued to take Hood's Sar¬ saparilla for about a year, when, having used six bottles, I had become so fully from the disease that I went to work for Flint & Walling Mfg. Co., and since then nAVE NOT LOST A SINGLE DAT on account of sickness. I believe the is expelled from my system, I always feel am in good spirits and have a good I am now 27 years of age and can walk as as any one, except that one limb is a shorter than the other, owing to the loss bone, and the sores formerly on my right To my friends ray recovery seems miraculous, and I think Hood’s is the king of medicines.” William A.

American use prefers one term English the other, and that is all. “Railroad” is at most a trifle old fash¬ ioned here and perfectly admissible. We should write it ourselves without hesitation when it fitted the sentence better than “railway.” When we come to words of the general vocabulary 6uck as “clever,” “guess,” “reckon,” some of them are New England or western provincialisms in their own country, just as “canny” is or lately was a northern provincialism in Great Britain. They may be adopted on either side as part of the general stock. It is conceivable that a word might be freely used by British writers without any sense of local color before it had ceased to bo provincial in America. We cannot admit, however, that the question of Americanism is concluded showing authority for the word or phrase in English documents of the Seventeenth century or earlier. What¬ ever we consciously import from Amer¬ ica in our own time is not the less at American import here and now because it was English long ago. Nor are we the less entitled to import and use it, if we find it good, because it is re»“y of American growth. When ok. au¬ thority can be produced we arc able to answer the historical and grammatical purists after their own manner, which oftentimes is convenient. As facts in the history of the language these things are always interesting; as guides to what our language ought to be we can¬ not, for our part, attach any great im portance to them. As Nineteenth cen¬ tury coinage may be good, so Seven¬ teenth century coinage may be bad. Both should pi ex ail or be rejected on their merits, except where usage has already settled the word in its right ot citizenship. Mr. Brander Matthews carries the wars into our coasts and attacks “Brit¬ icisms” of Britain. He says that Mr. Bagehot used like” and Sir Charles Dilke uses “without” as a conjunction Very well, to that extent Mr. Bagehot and Sir Charles Dilke stand convicted of bad English. But we must wholly decline to be held answerable for them or to accept either of them as repre¬ senting the standard or even the aver¬ age of English as written in England Many able men and some great men. even some great men of letters, kavt been careless writers. Again, it may be a British habit to say, “Very pleased.” It is not the habit of careful writers or good speak¬ ers. At one point we think Mr. Brand er Matthews makes a definite mistake. He treats the uses of “ministers,” meaning the ministers in office for the time being, as a growing neologism Unless our memory greatly deceives us It was the common form of the last sentury, and “the ministry,” “the gov¬ ernment” are innovations by compari¬ son. We did not know that revival of “ministers” was on the increase. When we have used it ourselves it has been with a pleasurable feeling of slight archaism. But if Mr. Brander Mat¬ thews has observed that it is coming into fashion again he is very likely to be right. For our own part we should wfUcome it.— London Saturday Review BOILING WATER OR MILK GRATEFUL-COMFORTING. LABELLED l-k LB. TINS ONLY. pianos kc.
