The moment an editor becomes
conscious of the fact that he is not
free to write his own ideas, and that
ho is but the pliaut tool and me¬
chanical lackey of another or others,
right then his true manhood, if he
Las any, will assert it-elf.—Albany
Herald.

Bimetallism— honest bimetshsm
-—will be the leaning issue in 1896,
and it is safe to say this far in ad¬
vance that there will be no goldbugs
elected to Congress in Georgia.—
Albany Herald. And is the Elev¬
enth district going to shelye
Hon. Henry G. Turner ?
There are a great many wonder¬
ful things iu Georgia. The
is Announced by the Tellair Enter¬
prise. it says: *‘Mr. Jeremiah
Walker is the proud possessor of a
fine pair of trained negro dogs.”
This is a new breed of canines, and
the Atlanta Journal thinks they
should be exhibited among the curi¬
osities at the exposition.
It is getting to be quite a popu¬
lar lad with tho ladies of tho cities
to take charge of the daily papers
and show the men how to run them
for one day. The Albany Herald
has been caught in tho swim and
lias tendered tho Indies the control
of its issue of March 27th to help
lift a debt from the Methodist
church of that city. The corps of
editors and managers has already
been announced and it goes without
saying the issue will be a “daisy.”
Since ex-Queen Lilioukilani, of
Hawaii, has been sentenced to pay
n fine of *5,000 and serve fiye years
in prison for engaging in a plot to
recover her throne, the naughty Al-
liany Herald suggests that “Presi¬
dent Cleveland, who flirted with
the dusky ex-Queen throughout the
first year of his present reign, rais¬
ing her hopes to a high pitch only
to leave her in the lurch of despair,
ought now to step forward like a
little man and pay her fine and then
negotiate with the republic of
Hawaii for her release.”
The Rome Tribune pays this de¬
served compliment to Congressman
Moses: “Congressmen like Judge
Moses, of the Fourth district, are
the need of the South. His bill in¬
creasing the pensions of widows of
Indian war veterans from eight to
twelve dollars per month puts sev¬
eral million more dollars in circula¬
tion in the Sooth each year that
might go elsewhere. lie is a practi-
cal poKtician-thc * “. kind we need.”

INDIVIDUAL ACTION.
Every fanner should act on the
question of reducing the cotton
acreage according to his own judg-
merit, There is no question Lut
that a genera) reduction of acreage
will be beneficial to the price of the
staple, but we see no hope of suc-
cess for the movement now on foot
to organize a gigantic (rust to con¬
trol the output of cotton.
Writing on this line, the Bolivar
County (Miss.) Democrat, published
in the richest cotton raising district
in tire world, thus sizes up the situ¬
ation in a nutshell:
“There S iems to be a consensus of
opinion that a lar^fe reduction of the
area planted in cotton is necessary
in order to raise the price of the
staple to a paying busis, and it is
almost equally certain that no reduc¬
tion will be male. When the coal
trust sees too great an accumulation
of coal upon the market tho mines
a e closed until the surplus is dis¬
posed of and a satisfaciory pi ice is
obtained. Manufacturing establish¬
ments of ail kinds pursue the same
po!i< y and thereby save themselves
from bankruptcy. But the mines and
manufacturing ertablishments are
owned and controlled by a few then
w ho can comprehend the necessity
of organization and harmonious ac¬
tion, while the cotton growers com¬
prise a vast multitude of people of
every degree of intelligence and
moral character, who cannot be
depended upon to carry out in good
faith any policy which may be agreed
upon for the general good. That
there are as many g@od and true men
engaged in raising cotton as any
other pursuit no candid observer
will deny, but it is recognized fact
that if it was generally believed that
the acreage of cotton would be
reduced 50 per cent, this year, the
cotton crop of 1895-96 would be the
largest on reoord. It is said that
‘the streets of Jerusalem were kept
clean by every man sweeping befoie
Ins own door,’ and that is the only
hops we see for the cotton raiser.
Let each individual adopt correct
methods regardless of what others
may do, and natural laws will do
the rest.”
A RAID ON THE TREASURY.
A raid on the treasury for 15,000,-
000 to be paid to the sugar growers
of the country, under the bounty
clause of the McKinley law, was
finally made by the Fifty-third Con¬
gress, by tacking the appropriation
on to the sundry civil bill in the
Senate and the amendment being
agreed to by the House. The Re¬
publicans voted almost solidly for
the this outrageous raid upon the
treasury. The Georgia members
of the House voted solidly against
it, but Mr. Wilson, who framed the
tariff' bill which repealed the sugar
bounty favored the amendment, as
did Mr. Cleveland.
A sensational incident occurred
near the close of the session on
Saturday night, when Congressman
Hendricks, of New York, replied to
William L. Wilson’s speech in favor
of the $5,000,000 sugar bounty. Mr.
Hendricks denounced it as a grand
raid upon the treasury and charged
that the charge of front on Wilson’s
part, from a free trader to an advo¬
cate of paying a sugar bounty, enme
after being entertained on a planta¬
tion in Louisiana and after bearing
into the House a cabinet porfollo.
Wilson made no reply.
The Atlanta Journal and other
papers of a like way of thinking ar¬
rogate to themselves all the Demo¬
cracy in Georgia and make the
egregious error of thinking that the
“woods are full” of their followers.
A remark made by Hon. John W.
Forrester, ot Leesburg, in our pres¬
ence the other day ought to enlight¬
en them, but it won't. Mr, Forres¬
ter said he was an ardent admirer
of Mr. Cleveland, but added, “I* am
the only one in Lee county.” And
it is almost the same way in all the
other counties in Georgia, and prob¬
ably other Southern States.
“The most popular lecture ‘The now is
