‘The woman tempted me,

out dates the flood’ and is almost
as old as humanity itself. Nev¬

Jersey pleaded it in a Washing
tun police court the other day.
He had been arrested for de
facing the Washington momi
ment by chipping off pieces
of the marble. When question¬
ed by the justice as to why he
did it, he replied that his bride
wished a souvenir chip from the
monument and asked him to
get it, and to oblidge her he
chiped it off. As in the case of
Adaui, the excuse didn’t go.
The preacher was lectured and
fined $10—Fx.
Crisp will be iu the Senate
during the next congress, and
Turner will not be in congress
at all. Who Will be the demo¬
cratic leader on the floor, and
who the leading democrat in
the committee of ways and
means? While Mr. Crisp has
held the former position for a
number of years, Mr- Turner
has been acknowledged as the
backbone of the democratic
strength on the tariff in the
committee. Thus Georgia had
a double share of honor. But
Crisp? There are a number of
candidates for the speakership
in the event of democratic sue
cess at the polls, aud queerly
enough ,the leaders in the race
appear to be McMillin aud
Richardson, both of Tennesee.
Another promising candidate
is Mr. Bland of Missouri, and
there is also some talk of Living
stqn of Georgia. Whoever the
majority of democrats pitch
as their candidates for
jAer will, of course, become
t-be leader of the party in the
House whether he goes in
with a majority or a minority.

' Steve Clay believes that Geor¬

QUO for Bryan. The fact that
tie re is a disposition on the
part of Republicans and popu¬
list to make a hard fight in each
of the Congressional districts
will have the effeet of spurring
on the Democrats, and will,
therefore, build up the majority.

T- Thomas Fortune, the well
known colored writer and law¬
yer of New York, pays a high
tribute to Gov. Atkinson in a
letter to the New York Sun on
why the colored voters of Geor¬
gia sustained Atkinson in the
recent election. Recounting
the governor’s standing on the
convict system, lynchings and
other matters, lie says: “In
enforcing the propositions
Gov. Atkinson lias not been a
tin soldier while holding his
office during the past two years.
He has been every inch a man,
doing his duty without fear or
favor. It would have been a
positive calamity to the state if
a man so courageous as Gov.
Atkinson had been rebuked by
defeat.” Concluding his letter
Fortune says: ‘-So long as
Georgia produces such men as
W. Y. Atkinson there will be
uo need of force bills, and the
vexed question of citizenship
will be solved in the regular, if
gradual, way.”

“The Brutal Vi:w.”
Senator Hoar, of
setts, on his return from Eu
rope took tho stump for Mc
Kinley and the gold standard,
but one of Ins statements must
give his Republican friends a lit
of the blues. In one of his
speeches lie confessed to the fol¬
lowing; “Leaders of the oppo¬
sition to bimetallism in England,
Sir William Harcourtespec hilly,
and Mr. Gladstone, who, al¬
though'out of office, is still a
great political force, take the
brutal view (Americans may
well note these words, "brutal
view”) that so long as other
countries owe England an in¬
debtedness estimated by some
persons as high as $10,000,000,
000, everything that increases
the value of the coin in which
the debt is to be paid is a clear
gain to her.”
Bryan’s contention is that
this “brutal view” shall be
turned to plague the European
Shylock. He is rousing the
American people to stand upon
the constitutional rights and
hear the true American policy
of finance Senator Hoar and
the Mark Hanna tribe propose
to continue this “brutal” En¬
glish policy for an indefinite
period and allow the European
NO. 40
money [lower to double tho
debts of our people. And, yet,
because Bryan and the true
Democracy contend for this
tlmy are branded by the Amer
ican Tories as “repudiators, 1 t
“conspirators, y t ‘anarchists,”
( < rogues” and < < secessionists,”
It makes the blood of a gen a
ine American patriot boil with
righteous indignation when
such aspersions are current
among some of his councrj men.
— Augusta Chronicle.
Australia has no orphan asy¬
lum. Every child who is not
supported by parents becomes
a ward of the state, and is paid
a pension for support, and
placed in a private family
where Hoard and clothes are
provided until tho fourteenth
birthday- After that ho may
be able to go to work, in which
case the pension is placed to
his crudit; until the age of 18,
when he becomes a citizen,
with a ha’ance due to him from
the state to begin life with.
This inculcates a humane-, char¬
itable and responsible spirit in
all residents, decreases the
chance of pauperism, and
places every y oung man on a
fair and square footing with the
world.—Ex.
