Why make [ grave a charge without some jfidpnce to support it? As fat h we know the election in this Sate was free and fair. There ers no doubt errors corn mit¬ id, but they were of a ckarac sr probably that was of as inch benefit to ono party as he other. I The thing we point out is not jot confined to this state nor to party. It is a fault of all parties—this lack of trank ess tliis disposition to mislead, tendency to charge fraud and was committed.

Nev¬ ertheless, a preacher from New 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. _g x> ' Steve Clay believes that Geor¬ gia will give a plurality of 60, 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.

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.” TILLEY &OUIGG.

Almand & Co. “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.
