The laws of this country ought to be so

The Tribune-of-Rome takes occasion
to publish everything that comes before
its eyes derogatory to tho interest of the
Alliance and then has the cheek to say
that it is a friend to the Ailiancc, and has
never attacked it. Talk about gall!
The Tribiino«of-Rome has been saying
many good things of Tom Watson of
late. Tom Watson is a champion of the
Alliance cause, but he is a lawyer and the
Tribune may entertain some hope of
winning him over. Tom is too good grit
for anything like that.
.
If you will notice how the Alliancemen
are endorsing the Hon. Tlios. E. Watson
you will no longer say that they are
against lawyers. They are for those who
are for them, let them be lawyers, doc¬
tors or merchants. That’s right. Sup
r poi t flTose who support you.
The Tribuno-of-Roino says, “It would
really seem that the two Georgia wings
can again ‘flop together’ in harmony.”
If it is the desire of the Tribune to flop
back into the old Jeffersonian ranks, why
just let her flop. She will please leave
the Independent Felton out, though.
We notice a statement in a paper that
is being sent from Texas by a friend to
Mr. G. W. Gentry that the treasury of
Texas contains $2,192,190,02. If the
“Rads” could get to this treasury for
about two days and nights they would
have about $0,000,001.00 and two coppers
left.
Governor Northern is now an LL. D.,
this title having been conferred on him
by the trustees of Mercer University. Do
the letters stand for a Lon Livingston
Democrat, or Lou Livingston Defeated?—
Macon Evening News.
Neither. They stand for Lon Livings¬
ton Dropped.—Tribune-of-Rome.
Who dropped him. please?
The Tribune-of-Rome denounces the
leaders, every official organ and the Alli¬
ance platform, and still claims to be a
great friend to the Alliance, and says it
has never attacked the Alliance, and then
goes on to talk about gall! Well, if any
one knows what it takes to make gall,
surely it is the editor of the Tribune-oL
Romo.
Georgia will furnish an Alliance can¬
didate for president. Mark the predic¬
tion.—Tribune-of-Rome.
Upon what do you predicate this pre¬
diction? Don’t keep us in the dark. In
fact how do you know there will be an
Alliance candidate for president? Do
you suppose the rank aud file of the Dem¬
ocratic party will ignore their claims as
you do and force them into a third party?
They have got better sense, and more re¬
spect for the wishes of the people than
that.
MO JOB INTENDED, EH I
-
The Tribune-of-Rome says it never said
that the Alliance is now back on the old
time JclTersoniau platform, and that the
editor of the Bannek-Mkhsenoek knew
it. Tho editor of the Bannek-Mksskn
Oku don’t know any such thing. If yon
never said it, then what does this mean:
That Douglasvillo speech by lion. Tom
Watson makes interesting reading, espe¬
cially that sentence wherein bo declares
that, “every demand we make measures
square up with Jeffersonian Democracy.”
The Tribune extends to brother Wat¬
son assurances of its most distinguished
consideration, and welcomes him into
the “Jeffersonian” fold.
If, as ho assures us, tho alliance “mean
no warfare upon any class of our peo¬
ple,” they arc indeed back on tho old
time Jeffersonian platform, and should
receive, in most cordial fashion, the rip?lit
hand of Democratic fellowship.
It would really seem, brother Tom,
that the two Georgia wings can again
“flop together’ ’ in harmony. There’s
room enough on the Jefforsonian plat¬
form for everybody—except possibly t-lrtj
third party—and we give you earnest and
fraternal greeting.
Shake!—Rome Daily Tribune, Wednes¬
day morning, June 3, 1801.
Will the Tribune-of-Rome give us just
enough of “its most distinguished con¬
sideration” to explain the above? The
Tribune will have to acknowledge that
it did say it, or that it is a friend to a
class of people who mean warfare upon
other classes of people, for the Tribune
says it is a friend to the Ailiancc and has j
never attacked it.
Let’s see. “If, as he assures us, the
Alliance ‘means no warfare upon any
class of orn people,’ they ai:e indeed
BACK ON THE OLD TIME JEFFERSONIAN
platfokm.” This is to say. “Tom
Watson assures us (already taken for
granted) that the Alliance mean no war¬
fare upon any class of our people; hence,
they are indeed back on the old time
Jeffersonian platform, and we (the Tri¬
bune-of-Rome) want to shake hands with
them. Shake!” Yes;shake!
The Tribune-of-Rome will have to ac¬
knowledge that it believed the Alliance
was back on the old time Jeffersonian
platform whether it said it cr not, or ac‘
knowledge that it wanted to shake hands
with a man who is leading a class of peo¬
ple against other classes.
Texas papers speak of people going
west as same as the Georgia papers.
When a man sets out to drown his
troubles in liquor lie usually finds that
while all that is good in him sinks out of
sight his troubles all float to the surface
and torment him tenfold worse tliau be¬
fore.—Gadsden (Ala.) Times.
There will be four grand Alliance ral¬
lies in Georgia during the month of July
next. One at Amerieus, July 14, Atlanta,
July 15, Athens, July 16, and at Rome on
July 18. Col. L. L. Folk, Jerry Simpson
and Mrs. Lease, of Kansas;Gen. Weaver,
of Iowa, and other prominent speakers
will be on hand and address the public.
The Democratic party must not refuse
*
to listen to the demands of the Farmers’
Alliance for financial reform and legisla¬
tion that will give them relief. The ag¬
ricultural class have patiently endured
untold wrongs and oppressions. They
have supported the government and mil¬
lionaires have been created from unright¬
eous tax wrung from them. The Democ¬
racy stands pledged to correct these
wrongs, and it will not prove recreant.
—Greensboro Herald.
The Tribune-of-Rome is now in sack¬
cloth and ashes. She has abandoned her
little band of “Jeffersonians” and is
knocking for admittance into the ranks
of old time Jeffersoniattism. But the
funny part is the Tribune makes like she
is every part and parcel of old time Jef
fersonianism and that tho other “wing”
wants to come back to her. We will tell
you the boys would no more have Felton
now than when you tried to put him on
them. Who is it that “is indeed back on
the old time Jeffersonian platform?”
We hope the Tribune will get back, but
she must be frank and confess to all the
facts in the case.
Will Horae of these veil hot (.1 rover
Cleveland newspapers please tell us
where this gentleman was when the re
publicans were trying to put the nefari¬
ous force bill on the south, and how it is
now that ho is opposed to the free coin¬
age of si’ver? These aro simple ques¬
tions, and we presume a thousand of the
newspapers who are whooping him up at
such a rate can give us this information.

THE OLD MAN.
Bow low the head, boy; do reverence
to tho old man. Once like you, the vieis
tudes of life have silvered his hair, and
changed the round, merry face to ihe
visage before you. Once that heart beat
with aspirations equal to any that you
have felt—aspirations crushed by disap¬
pointments, as yours are, perhaps, des¬
tined to be. Once that form stalked
proudly through the gay scenes of pleas¬
ure, the beau ideal of grace; now the
hand of Time that withers power of yes¬
terday, has warped that figure and de¬
stroyed that noble carriage. Once, at
your age, he possessed the thoughts that
pass through your brain—now wishing to
accomplish deeds worthy of a nook of
fame; anon imagining life a dream that
the sooner he awoke from it the better.
But he has lived the dream yery near
through. The time to wake is very near
to hand;yet his eye ever kindles at old
deeds of daring, and the hand takes a
firmer grasp at the staff. Bow low the
head, boy, as you would in your old age
be reverenced.—Marietta Journal.
A Wonder Worker.
Mr. Frank Huffman, a young man of
Burlington, Ohio, states that he had been
under the care of two prominent physi¬
cians, and used their treatment until he
was not able to get around. They pro¬
nounced his case consumptian and incur¬
able. lie was persuaded to try Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption, coughs
and colds and at that time was not able
to walk across the street without resting,
He found, before he had used half of a
dollar bottle, that lie was much better;
he continued to use it and is to-day en¬
joying good health. If you have any
Throat, Lung or Chest Trouble try it.
We guarantee satisfaction. Trial bottle
