1HB DEMOCRATIC SITUATION.
Tl c democratic canvass Is progressing
quietly and serenely. Those who have tin
campaign In charge are apparently surrouu
ed by an atmosphere of confidence that Is
rarely felt at the beginning of a great politi
cal contest Tire confidence which the demo
cratic leaders fuel scorns to tie warranted by
the state ot public opinion—Hint conservative
public opinion nrlilch makes its Inlluoncofclt
os we sometimes sea a great wheel movod by
invisible and noiseless machinery. There Is
much In the present situation to remind one
of the situation In 1870, albeit the conlllcnca
of the more thoughtful observers Is greater
now than it wua then. Tbo issuo then was
upon administrative reform, and tills issue,
Important llien, has become paramount,
1'eopio who,have n 1 real.and abiding (uterest<
in the honest and economical administration
of public affairs perceive clearly that the only
road to any species of reform, eitlior In taxa
tion or In expenditure, is in the direction of
democratic success. They poreeive that there
can be no inform of any kind as long as tlio
republican {party retains its corrupt hold on
the govcYmpcpt.
It it worthy of note that every objection
flint list lieeii made to tint record of Dover lor
Cleveland cither by republicans or by so-called
democrats, proceeds from some Interested in
dividual, front acme person who lias an ax to
grind, K<f. opo Intimately connected with
the peopio; no one who lies real sympathy fur
the laboring oliutcs and for all ck»iea,hai thus
otn to' Governor I 'loro
land's reco<t(,,nt,Ajiy complaint In regard to
tlicmar.ner'ln Which he lias conducted tlio
aflhlrs of tint.iiHvat. slate of New York.
Governor 'OlHvbinil lias managed
to render " himself obnoxious
to John Ki}|Jiy, yjs any lionrit, conscientious
man would tiwvUsbly have dme, and tlio re-
Hull is that Jiy. 1J)aim’s fu glcmcit nre making

having alrcSy 1>uhM up Burit Irish nows-

This lx aVf»r ui tlio B!a! no campaign bos
proceeded, arid this h not wry far, it mail
be conceded, for no re tv* i Me am! honest Irish*
roan will rule f\»r. the ivpnbaein cunlahtto

Britain, or that be will afford jtro.i’er pro ec*
tlon to A tutr nun citizens abroad than a tie no-
erotic president. .Such an id i would ha
foolish in tho extreme, fur It is ti u to I*d ?up-
posed that it * or pws 4 *nt wh» de

immqfn tlon* efitt have any great sympathy
for the Iriah voter* In this country, or f ir tha"
unfortunate Irish across the water who hard
for so many yawn been the victims of British
tyranny and oppression.
The advantage of tho situation thus fir is
undoubtedly with the democrats, and thera is
no reason to believe that there will be any
terious change. The deflation of Ta*nnwuy
bas been overstated and overrated—a fact that
Will fully appear on election day—and all tho
other signs arp more than favor able* The re-
Toil against Blaine is fu reality' a
revolt against republican corruption by
honest and conscientious republicans. Tho
nomination of Mr. IUalnc was simply the ex
cuse f. r a movement that has been gittorin?
strength and volume ever alifco tho credit
tnobfilcr exposure)*, and it extends among a
d*« of repubiicttna that pridt s Itself in rotin;
in behalf of the moruHttes. Tin Bl.Vna
Cickt t is supported by the ofllrehaMinf and
©fllec-seeking class. This fs Its strongih, and
ft is a strength we are not at all di-ip >-© i b
underrate.
The result in Ohio in October Is fir m >-o
important to the republicans than it is o the
democrats; for if thedetiioo.*m > iM*cirry
the »tate the Blaine campaign wuali imnie-
dfatily col‘a pee; but if the republinut
•hould carry it. tho democratic canvass would
rot lc materially afikvted, rioee it is w dl
hn«,w n that Ohio is a republican it t*e. Y;» *
Cumot;* carried the state for H.KtIiy nt the
lest election, and ii is well known tbit tluy
ere antbprohfhltion. I'ur that a *il oth*"r
reasons, they are not fond of Mr. KUhu, a t 1
the cut!cole is that they aiU vote in October
as they voted In the governor’s election—for
the democratic ticket
With New York almost certainly demo
cratic, and Ohio probably so, there fs every
reason for believing that Indiana will be
brought back into tlio democratic column.
Mr % Hend ricks has already demonstrated his
carnet tncyp, and, ns he is tlio most popular
man in the state, there is fio reason to doubt
that he will be able to neutralize the oiTcct of
the republican corruption fund that is cer
tain to be sent into Indiana. W© think our
readers will agree with us that the demo
cratic situation Is more Hum satisfactory.
There is no confusion, no fuss, no bluster.
The campaign is moving forward quietly and
with confidence. In no presidential year
ainco the war has the democratic party ever
had more reason for hope, or a better excuw
for indulging in sclf-gratulatlon.
THE EMBARGO ON GEORGIA MELONS.
If wc understand the steamed and prepos
terous Macon Telegraph, it is of the opinion
not only that The Constitution is joyfully
ured by the housewives of Bibb to place be
neath their carpets, hut that this, journal has
entered Info a feonapiraey with the truck
farmers of the state to cause losses to those
who engage in « business which is demon
strably a profitable and practicable one—,
namely, tho raising of watermelons (to say
nothing of other vegetables) for northern
and western markets. Our steamed con
temporary makes out its accusation plain
enougb, but It is prompted not by sympathy
for any losses the farm©: smny have sustained,
but by the suggestion of Tiik Constitution
that the railroads (some of which had been
remarkably libera!) should not now, through
any short-sighted or grasping policy, kill tho
goose that lays golden summer eggs. The
steamed Telegraph rushes to tho defense of
the poor railroads, and declares that if them
hove been any losses tho farmers themselves
are to blame, since they followed tho advice
of TfieCossTiTCTioxand tried toniako a lit
tle extra money instead of following tho ad
vice of tho Macon Telegraph—which would
have hem directly the opposite of that of
Tiir. Constitution in any event.
Thus, It appeals, the truck farmers of tho
stato have conspired against themselves ut
the instigation of Tnr. Constitution and are
now paying tho penalty of such folly. Ac
cording to the steamed Telegraph, they are
not only fools because they followed tho ad
vice of Tub Constitution, but fools
became they thought they could
ship watermelons to northern mid
western tnarkotsat a proflt. Following tho
steamed Telegraph's logic tho imbecile truck
farmers as well us Tim Constitution aro now
Striving to lay tho whole matter at the door
of the poor railroads, ns if these lonely and
fricndleis corporations had not been pestered
more than they deserved in hauling water
melons and vegetables.

1’oor people! jioor railroads! with the big
commfctimi grinding them nil in the dust!
But before we give way to tears it may bo
Well ’!o| sfalo that the complaint of tli&t
fanners mid Tim Constitution is not again si
tho rail loads of Georgia in par
ticular, for wo believe it la gen
erally agreed that our own roads
have been reasonable in their charges. The
difficulty, if we mistake not is with the lines
with which Urn Georgia roads connect, and
there is no ntncdy.for it, so far as wo know,
tinier* an appeal to what may bo tormod tho
selfish interests of the roads should be suc
cessful. Unless such nn np]>cul is successful, n
new Industry that may bo made profitable to
th© farmers and to the railroads will linvo to
be abandoned. Tin; Constitution made this
statement lost year, und there has not boon
season .since truck farming 1ms attracted
the utt< nticn of our people that wo have not
t< minded the ruiiruudsof the responsibility
that mted upon them. Tho motto ot Mr.
Fink, the great poul commissioner, is that
railroads should cbgrge all n shipment will
bear, and some of the railroads accept water*
inelnrs for transportation with tho under
standing on their part that they are entitled
! to every dime the melons will fetch in mar-
| ket. This will do very well us long ns the

THE PROHIBITION CANDIDATES.
The Btainc organs which, a while ago,
w«rc clrailng the decks for the purpose of
wiping cut nil uppositiun with the plartt.»J
Lniyht’s pertenat magnetism, are a ** en
gaged in making s maguificunt protest
against the prohibition campaign/ Tim New
York Tribune fa especially nervous In regard
to the nomination and cundidoey of Mr. St,
John, of Kan*a«, and its mtcasincss cro;»s out
in a plea for an abandonment of tho pr^lii
tlon cause on the part of the republicjiij. l
declares that “at ttteH t:rn*V’—meaning, of
course, the urgency ot the Blatii i r.tuip ii^ft—
‘ even the most deserving issues are pu
one side if they are advanced in an Impracti
cal shape.” It continues; “Ifc is clear lo the
unbiased observer that u prohibition ticket
this year can only 1>e a device for nullifying
all the votes caxt for it.”
Undoubtedly the opening of the prohibi
tion campaign with the entira-das.n which
was manifested nt the convention recently
held, is calculated to arouse the uHeaviness
of the republicans, particularly fn view of
tho fact that the Blaine boom hat ‘diwotvoJ
into thin air. The organs are not only un
easy, but fretful. They allude to prohibition
as “a deserving cause,” hut think that the
time lies arrived when the prohibitionist!
should turn their attention to electing Mr.
Blaine. The Nation appears to bo in Its
customary rail, and the organs aro hopping
around first on one foot and then on tin
other, crying out for somebody to emn for
ward with a rope or a plank and rescue it.
The prohibition party nppeara to havo
chosen its lime, with some judgment, and tin
enthusiasm of those who nominated Mr. St.
Jehu for prcfeMcut is undoubtedly hue!
on the knowledge that their organ!cation
will derive consderable advantage from
the demoralized condition of the republican
patty. There arc thousands of filthil re
publicans who, while they will nut support
Blaine, do not care to vote fjr Cleveland.
There will cost their vote for the fit. Ju!m
ticket. There arc thousands of republhant
who would support Blaine if there were no
prohibi I Ion ticket in the field. In sjtns of
the states, tho zeal of the prohibitionUts h u
been such as .to very nearly give tlura tho
l a’flucc of power. In every state where tho
prohibitionists have nrai'c gains, the repub
licans bftve suffered proportionate Iosssj.
The prohibition vote will he largest in the
Btutcsof Wisconsin, Illinois, Oiiio, Tow.-i and
Kansas, and while it may be too much to
claim that the democrat* have a chance of
carrying any of these except, perhapf, Ohio,
it is not too much to say that the prohibition
vote will make startling inroads upon the
repiblican majorities. If, as is claimed, the
Germans of tlye west and northwest prefer
Ckvctnnd to Blaine, then the democrat* will
t ot only carry Ohio, but have a tijhting
chance in Wisconsin.
It will thus be «?ceu that tho uneasincs* of
tl.c republican organs witli respect to the
prohibition vote is the natural outcome of a
perplexing situation.
• .THE BLAINE ASSESSMENT.
Kfccw here wc print a circular that Uhdiir hum
Jones, of the republican national committee,
bo* earned to be sent to every cleric and every
officer of the general government. ‘ Tint cir
cular is not only a violation of public de
cency, but it Is a violation of the Spirit if noA
tho letter of tlio clvil-servlco act. Mr. B. If.
Jor.cs, who Is a private citizen find, therefore,
without tbe prohibitory clause of tint not,
asks “every personi holding any.oflfoo, place
orenipioynttnt under 1ha‘UnUod ; .Sc.TM,” t*
rend him a sutnof money to go into a cam
paign fund. Chairman Jones is known to be
the favorite manager of James CL BUine.
Tho presidential candidate gave hiui ohTrjo
of Ills campaign. He selected him, although
no one else had recommended lit in or thought
of hith. An assessment of Cbairinnn Jons*
is, therefore, a direct assessment of Candidate
Blaine. Whatever moral diifurouco there
is between the munner of forming a corrup
tion fund, and sending a collector through
the departments, book In hand, is, therefore,
to the credit of the latter and to the shame of
the new method. Tho circular notifies overy
'nppointoo of the government To shell out,
and If tho donation is not tip to tho figures
desired another circular will doubtless follow.
A gigantic corruption fund is to bo for mod.
Mr. Jones is to pass tho lint among tlio I’cnn-
tylvrnia manufacturers who cling to tho re
publican party, and bis clerks are to squooze
all they can out of tho government officials.
This course is rendered tho more imporativo
by the fact that most of tlio Kcw York and
Boston capitalists ii|H>n whom tlio republican
party has heretofore heavily drawn in presi
dential years, now refuse to respond except
with u declaration in favor of T’lovelan l
and llemlrieks. Tho Pittsburg manufacturers
ami the poor clerks aro therefore to l*o worked j
for all that ran bo wrung from them* So j
wonder republicansnro leaving*tlio ranks in j
large numbers. No wonder the college pro.fi- |
denis and professors who have been life-long
republicans see that uothiug short of a defeat
will purify tho party. Under Blaine the
lowest level lms been sought and found, uml
men who unite intelligence with purity of
ptirpon* refuse* to be dragged down to his
level, and in tills way tho ranks of the inde
pendent republicans are rapidly filling up.*
Tho circular that wc print this morning is
picof positive of nn intention to drag-net the
cour>try for a fund to boused in buying voters,
first in Ohio ami West Virginia, and then in
the doubtful states. To a certain extent this
conspiracy against the people is carried on
shamelessly, and steps are taken and methods
introduced tlmt would thirty years ago have
staggered the country. But a long course of
corruption andtliicanery have hardened tho
puMic conscience, and the tMA*«sessleep, while
only the thoughtful and sensitive revolt.
Fortunately, the revolt from within is this
year large enough Blender the methods of
Mr. Blaine and of his tax collector at Pitts-
btng very odious, and let us hope, disastrous.
superseded by the new process of ring spin
ning, and the latter is thought to
be* dot nud by the Oldham In
vention. The ring process does not spin a
• yarn of uniformly good quality, owing to the
variation of drag occasioned by the large J»r
tn all diameter of tho cop, and the mule re
quires lsrj,e and expensive mills—'vast spice j
that ahrerb a great deal of money in con-
stpuction, repairs ai>d taxes. The new inven
tion meets both of these objections. It pro
ceeds on the principle of tho discard© l
thrrrtic, end its main principle, by which it
premif rs to achieve a great diifiinotion in the
cost of production, is (hat two turns of twist
ore obtained, for every revolution of the spin
dle. Kxtraordinory and even incredible as
this may seem, it is said to lie accomplished
by very simple mean?, the yam receiving tho
first turn of twist in its passage from the
front roller, and the second just before being
wound on the cop, which revolves only at tho
winding speed, and acquires just a sufficient
amount of drag to answer the desired pur
pose. The objection above* alluded to as at
taching to the ring-spinning process and all
inventions proceeding on that principle—
nomely, the variations of drag and conse
quent Inequality of tlio yarn—is obviated by
a compensating arrangement, by which the
difference of drag at the largo and small part
of tl.o top is rectified. The “snarls” und
“forkfcitws” which are of such frequent oc
currence wheffr tho mulo is employed are
thus rendered impossible. As the cop is
finished tin* machinery can he stopped for
doffing, the rail is lowered, all the cops ara
pushed off together, the ends nre attached to
Jhe spindle, tho raii is again raised an l the
operator is ready to begin another cop.
Like tbe Mason cotton picker, tho new
spinning machine is as yet imperfect, but in
its incompleteness it is said to have recftvel
the commendation of the best spinning
flUthoriiics in Lancashire. The Lancashire
district is rejoicing, but whatever cheapens
the-cost of production in Lancashire will
cheapen it in A in erica/and whatever re
duces the <ost of cotton goods throughout
the TiOiId enlarges the market for our fleecy
product. It is all grist to our mill.
COLONEL HAMMOND S ELECTION.
Itv r.* frequently said during tho canvass
before the primaries in tho other counties be
tween Jackson and Hammond that *o much
bit tenters had been engendered that either
would )>c beaten by nn independent when
nominated.
This Is nil foolishness. Colonel Hammond
will rcredve the practically unanimous voto
of the democratic convention of this district,
and be will ho overwhelmingly elected.
There is r.o reason why ho should not h?.
He has made an exceptional congressman. Ilo
Is able, honest and patriotic. Ho has made a
strong fi.-ht for his place before democrats in
their primaries, and ho lias won it. He Is
entitled to tho vote of every democrat in the
district.
.Captain Jackson has set a fino example to
hte friends. He rtated unhesitatingly, even
In thc.Vcry hour of his defeat, that ho should
earnestly support Upload Hammond. Ho
has losti moro by the success of Colonel Ham
mond tjhan any of bis friends can possibly

COTTON PICKING AND SPINNING.
The inventions for unttlixing Hat cotton
{n* multiply lug rapidly. Two of original an!
daring designs are just coming before the
pntdlc for tost and*possiblv for adoption.
The first is Mr. Mason’s machine for cotton
picking. Our readers wv familiar with his
plans. Hi* machine has not been perfected,
huj it i* so far advanced thst its uscfulJuciS
will scon be ascertained. If th* picking ma
chine can be operated to rulvantage, there is
r.o counting Its effects upon tho cultivation
of the plant; the crop would then be open
to Indefinite expansion, and America would
rcen drive all the other eotton-proJuclng
countries to the wall.
An invention of utmoet equal importance
U reported frotu Knglatt I. An O id him in
ventor hrs patented a machine which will, it
tsilciiurd, Urgviy reduce die cost of spin
ning. The cumbrous mule hod already been
r ABOUT CANDIDATES..
JMlter Fntitt bos figured It upl and bo cm
clud<s that Governor Benjamin Butlor, tho
irtJI-fcrbwjj anti-fat greenback uindidato, is
doomed to poll at least two million votes ut
the touring presidential election. Without
% pausing to consider whether this system is
not equal to counting chickens before thoy
nr«* hatched, Lkiltor Hana proccofs to cvi-
gratulato Candidate fiutjer and tho country
generally at tin’s nmrkc.l evidence of his won
derful in Cue nee over the voting populace of
this our native land.
Wo are pained to learn, however, on look
ing over the returns at present available, tliat
Editor IHma gets his information in regard
to Candidate Butler’s popularity from t!io
^•olmffns of John Kelly’s feebly-cmdacted
organ. Iu fact Kditor Dana boldly credits
John Kelly’s feebly-conducted organ with
tho information, and then proceeds to c rai
ment on it with tho Kerfotisness that charac
terizes Swinton in the moment of nohh
frttny when he is playiugfiy-loo iu Schwal*’- 1
beer saloon.
On i)}e information^ therefore, of John
Kelly's feebly conducted organ, Editor l)am
allots to Candidate Butler tho sullm.res of
two tniliicn voters, and own goes so far as to
iutimate tlmt two millions is a very' moder
ate calculation; adding to this startling .vi $-
gcition tho comforting thought that “tho
man who runs for office with such a support
may well be proud of the fact, aud his chil
dren may be prou&of it after him.”
Considering that the two million voters
which have attracted Editor Dana's atten
tion exist only in the weak minds of those
who edit John Kelly’s feebly conducted
organ, we have no doubt tluit Candidate But
ler’s children “may be proud of it after
him,” to say nothing of his great-gran i-chll
dren. A candidate who polls two milliro
votes In the weak minds of those wha feebly
foedurt John Kelly’s paper is entitled to
(orgratulations, and wc are glad to sec that
Editor Dana extend* Ms without Inquiring
whether tbe returning board has been guilty
of its whole duty or whether it has bc.-a sub
sidised.
Iu ibis connection'—to employ a phrntj
w Licit Editor Dana lias made popular in thi <
country—we observe a tendency on the part
of the esteemed Pun to exalt Candidate Bnt’-?r
in er e column and belittle Grover Ulcvehra I.
The old wc man that klswsl the cow would
find flttle or no objection to thi*. for she
would naturally conclude that even an editor
l.es tLc right to slobber a Httfo over a scrub
cow if Lis Inclinations lead him th mat dircc-
tic. But Editor Pans'* tastes, if not his
judgment, ought to ho (■ really mjorlur to
ihofo of tbe old woman. Uo ought U> know,
and docs know, that Candidate Potior :ns
reached high-water mark ns n professiond
demagogue, and that hois no more t> he
! compared to no honest, coiissientlo-.H mn
i like Grover Cleveland than Pors-y h n hi
| compared to HoratioScyinour-to use nvim
a little at random.
Editor Dana announces that iic sincerely
prefers Cleveland to Blame, not Merino
Cleveland is qualified or deserving, but be
came the republican party ought to go. At
thesametime, Editor Dana is continually put
ting Butler on the back, and tbe meaning of
his caresses, as wc interpret them, U tiurt
Butler would make the best prosiJeut of all.
Well, eccentricity is a good thing in its place,
end piquant out of its place, and it cannot bo
denied that Editor Dona is piquant. The
Instinct that bids us beware of demagogues
informs us that Butler is worse than Blaine,
bed as lJhunc*ts conceded to be; nn l if such
a man os he can poll two millions of- vote*,
it is time to put a few more trowels of mortar
in [the pillars of the republic. If Editor

JUDGE LYNCH SUPERSEDED.
Three weeks ago yesterday two brutal
crimes against women were committed, tho
one in Early county, and the other la Terrell
ft isniy. In tlie former case tho alleged crim*
ii oJ, a negro, was caught aud immediately
J rrg to tlie nearest tree; in the latter case a
ill fit rent course was pursued, although tho
crime was as fiendish in the one case us iff the
ether. In Terrell county Judge John T.
Claikc caused a special session of the superior
ccu»t to be held, and tlio prisoner, a negro,
was duly brought to trial. He was in dieted
iu due form, and two of the best lawyers in
the circuit were assigned to him «» cjutuel.
The case was tried, and ho is to be hinged
during the present month. The crime was
established and brought home to the pr.^ouer,
end he will suffer the penalty on tlio day set.
AYc hazard nothing in saying'tliat the Terrell
county case will have a far greater inflnonce
in preventing similar crimes than the hot
hanging in Early county. The brief delay
of the law, together with the certainty of
dread punishment, will prove immeasurably
more impressive and salutary. Jinlgi Clark
has shown that tbo law is ample and equal
tonny crime if properly and promptly ad
ministered. In nn old state like Georgia,
there is no reason for resorting to Judge
Lynch's primitive code. We have judges,
however, who should bo rciniiulml of tliuir
duty in pressing emergencies.
THE CROP OUTLOOK.
No one in the south can well be downcast
and discouraged if!.he .willstudy tho crop iv-
lorts; for they nro eminently satisfactory,
both as to food olid todasli traps. The wheat
crop was an average one, .amt only A small
percentage of it was lost during the rains of
the harvest period 1’ the oat crap was a good
ciipj and the corn cjp'p yi iJl almost certainly
lc something gfoijfoji.s, Tliero will ho an
abundance of cofirfroto’ 1 the gulf to tho fur->
thcrcMbounds of-the southern country. The"
uctnt general raipHisrvHf removed all doubt
on that score. Wt^vnjl buy some moat from
the northwest, amLxqmefiour, but very little,
if .Any, corn.
Tl.o cotton or cash crapes promis’ng. Tho
Egyptian crop Is”notr dqing well, aud the
short crop of last fcummtr. lcftves tlio world.*
in n condition to consume a good average
’crop. .JThe south will supply such
a crop beyond a reasonable doubt.
Thcio has been very dry weather
in Texas, in nearly nil of tlio states tlio plant
is u little lute, «mt in Georgia it is perhaps
undersized,, but from all sections cy uo report!
of clean fields, w ith plenty of bloom and
fruit. The indications, in other words, arc
that the south will rai.to just about the
amount that a naked world' will urod.
Neither will the crap bo mi cnor.nons one,
nor will tho price bo below the rust of pro
duction. The happy mean seem<< to luvo
been hit this year, barring, of course, a dius-
trous raid of the worm?, or an early fr >>».
T’nder such circumstances the y?o;»lo of the
tontli can well afford to laugh at the c.rator-
