This getting lost bahit of the cold wave is really becoming monotonous. Editor Walker, of the Acworth Post, thinks “Thk Dalton Argus is a gem of a newspaper. It is real sweet and juicy.” As The Argus predicted it would, that abortive scheme to reapportion the rep sentation in the National Democratic Convention died aborning. In view of the imprisoned Americans in the Transvaal, Senator Morgan’s reso lution of congratulation to President Kruger shows Morgan to be a Jingo of the half cocked order “Fire-alarm” Forakkr as United States Senator is the worst case of fish-nut of water on record.

Os the forty who responded to questions, more preferred Mr. Cleveland than any other man that was named, but not a sixth of the members expressed themselves in favor of him. Mr. Morrison, of Illinois, was the next favorite. The feeling among the committeemen seemed to bethat the ■democratic nominee is not vet in sight. If the views of the committee on the money question indicate anything, it is that the national democratic platform will not favor free silver coinage, and that a free silver coinage man will not be nom inated for Pt evident by the democrats* THE ARGUS: DALTON. GA. SATURDAY JANUARY 25. 1896. BISHOP ATI'K'UN IIAYOOOU. All Georgia, regardless of sect or creed, is in mourning over the death of one of the state’s greatest and best men —Bishop Atticus G. Haygood, of the Methodist ' Episcopal Church, South. He died at his home in Oxford, Saturday last, after a long and painful illness, and was interred 'Tuesday, with all the respect ami honor due his exalted position and wonderful popularity. Bishop Haygood, who will be remem bered by the older people as a former ! presiding elder of this district ami citizen of Dalton, was one of the most remark able magnetic men Georgia has ever pro duced. Os him a chronicler truly says: From bis youth up he waa noted for Ids clear convictions, Ids moral courage and bis intel lectual power. There wax about him something of the apostolic fervor and feHrh ssnesk He wax a great preacher before he had reached the age of thiriy and the fathers in the Southern Metii o'list church looked upon him ax a clianipion worthy to uphold the cause for which they had struggled so devotedly and suffered so much. Though he developed early he never ceased to grow, and it is not too much to say that for years past he has been generally regarded aa the great est preacher in the south. His devotion to the Methodist church was heroic, but he was not creed-bound in any mean or narrow sense. On many subjects, indeed, his views were so liberal as to provoke the criticism of those who could not see ao well ax he. He gave Itls whole might to whatever lie un dertook. Whether be worked aa pastor, as col lege president, ax bishop, as agent of the Slater fund trying to elevate the negro and to gain favor and friendship for him from his more in telligent ami more powerful fellow citizens, Atti cus G. Haygood wax always true and always influential. Only those who knew the man intimately can understand the beauties of bis character. He was one of the most loveable ax well ax oue of the most Intellectual of men. St. Paul wax bis hero of heroes and lie might worthily say ns lie passes from life as did the A poxtles of the Geutiles: “I have kept the faith." Bishop Haygood was a great big, love able limn. His death is a serious loss to Georgia and his church. His work ‘for the cause of education will be an eternal monument to his memory, and his work for the cause of Christ will insure him an eternal home among the saints. His in fluence in both directions will be felt for ages to come. Peace to his beloved ashes! Earth never knew a nobler life, and earth is a great deal poorer for his death. War, and rumors of war, will run cot ton down and grain and meat up. Remember the truthful old adage that an open enemy is far preferable to a sneak in camp. The Rome papers are claiming that another big New England factory is go ing to locate there. That’s the way the Rome people have of getting a good deal of the world’s fullness—they claim every thing in sight. A BANE PBOI’ONITION. Under the above head, tne Boston Herald truly says. Ex-Congressman Bryan, of Nebraska, who is oue of tile leading apostles of the cause of free silver, has written a letter to Senator Tillman, in which tiie baseness of the attempt to make a successful combination in behalf of the cause he champions is clearly exposed. He urges that enough of the silver democrats join with the republican senators in passing the house tarifl bill with a free coinage rider annexed, so that if tiie President vetoes it they will have votes enough to pass it over the veto. It is an unprin cipled proposition, but it is interesting and illu minating as showing the desperate methods of tiie silver men to accomplish their purpose at whatever sacrifice. And another exchange emphatically adds that Bryan’s corrupt, not to say scoundrelly proposition, is explained by those who claim to know the facts by relating that he is the salaried attorney of the ring of silver miners, with Capt Grant, the millionaire miner and smelter at the head. We don’t know anything about whether or not this is true; but it is »n harmony with Bryan’s record in genera], and it clearly explains his letter to Tillman. One thing is certain, above all others, and that is that when the democratic party surrenders on the money question to the populists, and embraces their fiat, 16 to 1 silver isms; and surrenders its tarifl' reform doctrine to the highway robbery idea of republican high tarifl, it will have deserted its cardinal principles, will have nothing to live for, and will go to its grave in ignominy and disgrace. Democracy has lived all these years by the strength of its convictions and the power of right over wrong, and it must live on the same way, or die by traitors’ hands. Men like Cleveland, Carlisle ami Smith must save the partv from such men as Bryan, Morgan, and their ilk. The democratic voters must stand to these true leaders of democracy, and repudiate such as would make them desert their principles for either new doctrines, or old enemies. Bryan’s proposition isinfamous. and should be so denounced by all honest, true democrats. “A specific duty,” said a prominent member of congress to the Washington Post the other day, “should be imposed on importations of tea.” Why, certainly, lots of duty; the more of it the better. Is not growing tea an infant industry in this country? Some hundred pounds, more or less, of it are raised every year in South Carolina. And coffee is bei”g cul tivated in that state, also. Half a bushel I of coffee was gathered from South Caro lina coffee bushes last year. Shall not these infant industries have prot« ction ? I * Savannah News. A CLAIM THAT NIIOI Ll> BE PAUL The Savannah Morning News very justly and forcibly says that one of the most meritorious claims pending in con gress is that of the publishing house of tin- Methodist Episcopal church south. This claim has been before other con greases and has been reported favorably. The only reason it failed to pass both houses was a lack of harmony among those supporting it. There is no question about the facts upon which the claim was based. When the union soldiers under Gen Buell took possession of Nashville in 1862 the publishing house was in a fairly flourishing condition. Gen. Buell announced that no property would be destroyed, and that if any was taken it would be paid for. The union forces held possession of Nashville from 1862 until the close of the war. In 1864 the pub lishing house was seized by the federal authorities, who retained possession of it for about seven months. During that time much of its business was lost, and a great deal of its printing material was destroyed or carried off. It is not pre tended that the federal authorities were justified in seizing and holding the prop erty, especially after it was announced by Gen. Buell that no private property would be taken unless it was needed, and that, in that event, it would be paid for. The Methodist church south is not rich. It is becoming prosperous with the in creasing prosperity of the south, but it is greatly in need of money for its many undertakings. If the claim of its publish ing house were paid the church would be better able to carry on its work. As there does not seem to be any good rea son why it should not be paid, the pres ent congress will only be doing an act of justice by allowing the claim as quickly as possible. A sound money exchange truthfully declares that “a great cry goes up from the silver men, when it is reported that some democrat has said lie ‘will not vote for the ticket if the convention adopts a free silver platform.’ When one of these comes to you, with such a ‘tale of woe’ ask him quick: ‘Will you vote the ticket if the platform shall be unequivocally for the single gold standard, the absolute discarding of silver as money of final account?’ Ten to one he dodges, pre varicates, and finally says, if he’s half honest, that he would not vote for a gold bug on a gold platfoim. Why, thousands, in this and other states, have deserted s he democracy for the populist and so u New Stock New Stock!

Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE Bill Bryan's free silvtr faction, because they wanted the cedula, rag money of Argentina, or the silver basis of Mexico ami China The ignorant Ingots who head the silver party, are in no case to lecture sound money men for their lack of loyalty and good faith.” The New York Mercury (Dem.) truth fully declares ; “Democrats should bear in mind the fact that the republican party is responsible for the condition of the federal treasury. The looting of the treas ury began under President Harrison. The deficit originated under Harrison after he mid signed two iniquitous bills— the Sherman silver makeshift and the McKinley robber tariff. Harrison retired from office leaving an empty treasury, and it was the same treasury which he found filled to overflowing when he went into office four years before. Cleveland filled the treasury; Harrison emptied it. All the ills the country now suffers from are due to republican squandering.” Sympathy with the Cubans may take a decided drop. The recent de scriptions of their wholesale destruc tion of property, and of the fact that Gomez’s negro soldiers when they cap ture a town ravish the women in the presence of their husbands and fathers, and then hang the men in the presence of their wives and daughters, will do much to cool the sympathy of the jirgoest of the jingoes. It seems the liberty such conduct deserves is the liberty of the gallows. A smart person repeats this chestnut: “The gold bugs insist that the people need, want, must have gold; and in the same breath the gold bugs say the people have no gold to buy bonds with.” Let us put another statement beside this, by way of answer: “We say the people need, for their happiness, the great rivers, oceans, arable lands and mountains of the earth ; but aren’t we mistaken, since the people haven’t these things in their pockets, or locked up in safes; and only a small fraction of them, in the civilized countries, own so much as a foot-square of land ?” One proposition has as much good sense in it as the other.—Chatta nooga Times. For the last thirty years over a milli dollars a day have been spent building®' railroads in the United States. And yet, we hear jawsmiths who swear they love the “dear people,’’ advocating the stop page of railroad investment by capital— the cessation of this great contribution to labor. Poor ignoramuses. Two of the latest exchanges on our desk are the Morgan Monitor, and the Waycross Journal. The Journal is by our old friend Sweat, and is a live repre sentative of Southeast Georgia. The Monitor is published by J. G. Rogers and George H. Dozier, at the county seat of Calhoun county, and is full of bright promise of a successful career. Atlanta Constitution: According to Morgan’s own testimony, he was invited to Washington to confer with govern ment officials recently. Does not Mr. Cleveland owe an apology to the “mendacious and sensa tional newspapers?” Mr. Morgan says: On the23rd of December I was invited to ington for a conference. During my visit there no negotiations for a loan were even suggested, nor was there then, nor since, any agreement or request that I should take any steps preparatory to making a contract. It will be observed that he makes no mention of government (administration) officials. As the Constitution knew when the paragraph quoted above was written, Morgan went to Washington on the in vitation of members of the senate finance committee; that neither Cleveland nor Carlisle knew of his coming; that Cleve land didn’t see him and didn’t know he had been in the city, until after he left. But of course this way of trying to prove the president a liar is legitimate and proper “democratic” journalism—of a certain kind.—Chattanooga Times.
