It is “Barkeeper Tillman” again.
Debs is now the most antique of all the
backnuiubers.
The Atfhnta Journal dubs the populists
“disturbers of the peace iu Georgia.
The Illinois wheat crop will be 11,000,-
000 bushels more this year than last
year.
Senator Gorman must be a fine poker
player, lie is certainly an adept in
bluffing.
Whitfield will be too busy with good
harvests and good times this fall to pay
much attention to populism.
The senators do not object to Gro
ver’s interference. It is interfering
“agin” them that they object to.
Senator Hill has appeared in a new
role, and we forgive him many transgres
sions for the roast he gave the “sugar”
senators.
Riley Giddens says the Economist is a
“mugwump.” Editor Barnes is prepar
ing a six collum editorial, calling Riley a
“jugwump.”
Those who condemn Mr. Cleveland for
sending troops to Chicago only show
their absolute ignorance of the laws of
the country, as well as their sympathy for
anarchy.
The man or paper, preaching Ocalaism
and calling itself democratic, hurts the
democratic party. Having joined the
enemy, the enemy should be made to
feed them.
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, is said te
be the most persistent wrestler in Wash
ington, when it comes to a tussle with
John Barleycorn. And yet, John almost
always downs him.
And so the Alabama Koibites are try
ing the kuklux method of terrorizing
democrats. Well, well; when a few
dozen of them turn their toes upward,
they will quit their foolishness.
Our Whitfield populistshad their big
nominating powwow last Saturday. The
largest vote polled in any contest was 125.
To have heard them talk one would have
expected 1,250 voters to be present last
Saturday.
The United States Senators are unwil
ling, it seems, to sacrifice their personal
preferences and private interesta for the
good of the people and the harmony of
the party. They should be more of patri
ots, more of statesmen than that amounts
to.
Congressman Oates has repeatedly de
clared that President Cleveland told him
that the banks had the people by the
throat to be a plain, downright lie. And
yet, the third party convention included
it in their resolutions last Saturday. Our
third party friends should read up. *
Ben Tillman is threatening to cast off
the name of democrat. We are glad to
know it. He has long since cast off all but
the name, and has disgraced the name
several times. Such men as Tillman can
only hurt the party to which they claim
allegiance, and we are always glad to see
them go.
An exchange pertinently remarks:
“The democratic party is about as immor
tal as anything can be. Its funeral ser
mon has been preached many times, but
it has always risen in good time and
shape for the next fight.” Very true;
kickers and soreheads have been trying
to down it for nearly a century, but it is
stHl on top, and will stay right there.
Those so-called democrats who say that they
will support Judge Hines In preference to Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson, are no better democrats than
Tom Watson would have them be.—Banks County
Gazette.
No, they become third partyites whenever
they vote for Hines.—Marietta Journal.
You are both correct. The man who
will bolt a democratic nomination be
cause he does not get his man, was never
half a democrat, and will not be very
heavy timber in the Third party.
The Rome Tribune says “that 70 per
cent, of the immigration arriving in this
country are the most undesirable kind of
people. They are the elements that
create trouble and disorder in every
labor upheaval and never assimilate with
our people in progressive work.” True;
and Congress onght, above all things, to
pass laws restricting, if not wholly pro
hibiting, the present promiscuous immi
gration that flocks to our shores. They
do the country more harm, and are a
greater drawback than all tariff and
financial legislation.
THE ARGUS; DALTON. GA., SATURDAY. JULY 28. 1894.
WHAT A WHOPPER!
In alluding to the recent strike, the
Ellijay Courier, republican, in its last
issue, says:
"Os course the Cleveland administration took
sides with EuHhihu and sent Federal troops to
Chicago to shoot down the strikers, over the pro
test of Gov. Altgeld, of Illinois. Untold mil
ions of dollars were lost by the strike, and
misery caused by the paralysis of trade: and the
Cleveland Administration is responsible.”
The man who could pen such a sen
till that is either totally ignorant of
the facts in the case, and the laws of the
United States, or he lies for the fun of
lying.
When the hoodlum and foreign ele
ment of the country took advantage of
the strike to commit various felonies
against the government, and the strike
leaders refused to heed the rulings of the
United States courts, Grover Cleveland
promptly sent troops to Chicago to pro
tect the United States property, and to
see that the orders of the United States
courts were respected and carried out,
and to prevent interference with the
United States mails and interstate com
merce. His action has been lauded by
republicans and democrats alike, and
endorsed by every good, law abiding cit
izen of the land.
Mr. Cleveland did not interfere in the
strike, nor take sides either for or against
labor. He has proven, by his celebrated
message of 1886 on the subject of a labor
commission to investigaee and arbitrate
troubles between labor and capital, that
he is the best friend of labor who lias
ever occupied the President’s chair - It
is solely by his recommendation that
the present law, under which a com
mission will be appointed to investigate
the cause of the recent trouble, is on the
statute books.
The strikers disavow any connection
whatever with the outrages and crimes
that were committed in Chicago, a part
of which (those against the government)
Grover Cleveland sent troops to prevent
and suppress. If Altgeld, the anarchist
who disgraces the gubernatorial chair of
Illinois, had done his duty in the first
place, the president would have had no
cause for action.
The Courier ought to read up on the
facts in the case, and cease breathing an
archy. If it has read up on the ques
tion, it should quit lying. There may I
be some in Gilmer county who are igno
rant enough to believe its vile slanders
against the administration.
And the Courier simply tries to bring
labor into disrepute when it makes it
responsible for the deeds of violence
committed in Chicago, which the troops
suppressed. In laying the cause of the
strike at the door of the democratic ad
ministration, it simply follows the repub
lican leaders who are trying to crawfish
out of the odium heaped upon their
vicious legislation of the past thirty years.
The Acworth Post now tells us that “Evaus
carried Murray county by five majority.” We
are glad to know it; out how on earth did you
find it out?—Dalton Argus.
We found it out the day after the primary was
held, and published the fact in our issue of that
week. You are raihcr late in publishing the
fact, Bro. Shaver.—Acworth Post.
If you have found it out at all, you
have done more than anybody in Murray
has done. Murray went for Evans by
nearly 3 to 1, Atkinson received some
thing over 100 votes out of a total of
about 400. And if you published it at
the time, you are given to the bad habit
of sending your exchanges old papers in
stead of the current issue.
The populists favor primaries and are against
the vest-pocket statesman who dictates whom
they should support. Subscribe for The Econo
mist and we will keep the people posted of what
is goiug on in the backroom and dark lantern
caucus of those who try to control.”—Dalton
Economist.
Try, Brother Barnes, try! If the
“bosses” of the Third party didn’t rub it
into the wool hat boys last Saturday,
Pat’s a Dutchman! Tiy? Was there
ever a slicker piece of “control.”
Tom Bell, the populist nominee for
Representative in Cherokee, is quoted as
saying: “I heard Major Bacon’s speech
and thought his views very good. That
part he read is exactly my views.” Yes,
yes; scratch Bacon’s back and you will
find a pretty good populist. His flimflam
resolutions piove that.
Hon. L. F. Garrard’s speech here
Wednesday was an excellent one. It
fully demonstrated the impregnability of
democracy, the scheming cunning and
rascality of republicanism, and the
flimsy, threadbare tissue of populism. It
did both Mr. Garrard and democracy
good.
TO ADVANCE THE SOUTH !
The Manufacturers’ Record truthfully
says the recent organization of the South
ern Exchange Association of New York
promises to prove one of the most im
portant steps ever taken in aid of south
ern advancenn tit. Il is a hold effort to
command theatUntion of the north in
the inn rest of the south by an associa
tion w ith headquarters in the business
and ti lancial centres of the country. It
only neid.s right management to insure
its proving si p<>w< rful factor in increas-
ing the prosperity of the south, and this
seems to be guaranteed, considering the
men who are responsible for the direc
tion of its affairs. This undertaking is a
move in the right direction. The south
now has the chance of having its advan
tages and resources pressed home upon
the people of the country persistently
and vigorously, and with the hearty co
operation of everyone interested in the
prosperity of this section an immense
amount of good will be accomplished.
The south must not, however, expect the
north to do all the work. This section
must lead in putting into active existence
all the forces that can be brought to bear
in carrying on this movement. Dalton,
Whitfield and North Georgia should be
wide awake and see that they are prop
erly represented in this exchange. All
authories agree that we are on the eve of
a great and prosperous era. We should
not be found asleep!
Men sit around abuse democracy, talk
“hard times” and silver wildcatism, who,
to judge by their conversation, know as
little of politics as they do of finance. They
think abuse is argument, and imagine
bold assertion is sound logic. Poor,
blind leaders of the blind.
THE COUNTRY DEMANDS ACTION.
The leading merchants of Chicago are
vigorously protesting against any further
delay in tariff legislation. They give in
their protest, among other things, this
strong point:
“The whole country demands that congress
terminate the pending tariff' legislation imme
diately. Failure to dispose of this question
quickly will work incalculable loss and Irrepar
able injury to financial and industrial interests.”
This sounds the keynote. Not only
will further delay damage the democratic
party, but it will retard the gradual re
covery of the country which is now in
progress. The Atlanta Journal truly
says:
“These merchants represent truly the demand
of the whole country. The action of the half
dozen so-called democratic senators who are
lesponsible for the fact that a democratic tariff'
bill has not been passed before now is univer
sally condemned and by nobody more severely
than by true democrats.”
This is the exact state of the case.
There are a few damocratic senators who
are proving not only a detriment to the
party but a menace to the country.
They should be whipped into line and
made to behave.
Anarchy has attempted to rule this
country, aui its suppression, absolute
and crushing, must be administered.
President Cleveland has moved with
vigor, but with conservatism and care,
and he may be depended upon to enforce

THE EDITOR’H EABY CHAIR.
—One of our new Dalton papers con
gratulates itself that “Mr. So-and-8o has
stepped in, put his name down on our
subscription list, and spoke a word of
good cheer.” How vain is vanity, and
bow great is the vanity cf the vain 1 The
paper forgot to state I hat the same man is
four years and a half in arrears on The
Argus’ books.
—The festive Cain, of the Chattooga
News, returns thanks to God, because
“the Georgia watermelon is now in his
midst.” Cain is lucky. Hometimes, a
Georgia watermelon in a man’s midst
calls for groans and tribulations.
—Handsome McCutchen, of the Frank
lin News, is running for justice of the
peace. That beats running from the
sheriff three jugsand a canteen full.
—Our delinquents are still delinquenf
ing.
—Rev. Smith, of the Ashburn Ad
vance, says he “shaves down his corres
pondence on account of space.” He
should follow our example, and “shave
up for want of space.”
—J. M. and T. W. Nealon, the two old
Dalton boys who have started a new pa
per at Cartersville, seem to be making a
success of it. The Signal is bright and
newsy, and reflects credit upon the
young gentlemen.
—The editor of the Gwinnett Herald
thinks “the Lord will provide for the
good,” and although there are few June
apples and blackberries this year, the
country editor may hope to get one good
stomachful when muscadines come in.
—We are glad to see our friend Heart
sell’s Jimplecute on deck again. The
Murray paper deserves success, and we
hope to see it attaining a full success be
fore many moons have waxed and waned.
—Talk about advertising not paying!
Over $5,000,000 has been expended in
advertising the Cuticura remedies, and
their proprietors are still at it at the rate
of $200,000 a year !
—The Irwinton World, until recently
a redhot Atkinson paper, has come out for
populism and Hines. It supported At
kinson because it believed him the
weaker candidate of the two, and when
his nomination was assured, it showed
its hand.
—Miss Florence B. Williams, of the
Valdosta Telescope, has lost her hen,
and writes this touching obituary of her:
“She was thirteen years old and was the
mother of about two hundred chickens,
and the foster mother of fifty others.
She had laid eggs and reared a brood ev-
