Within five days six counties in
Georgia have gone “dry.”
Nine-tenths of the democratic
weekly newspapers of Urn state are
edited in Atlanta.
The curtain was rang up last
Monday at noon upon the closing
session of the.fifty-fifth congress.
The punsters of the press should
not be discouraged in the least.
Mudd and Brick are members of
the next congress.
An exchange says that tho leg¬
islative committee is. using the
knife freely upon appropriations.
An axe of the double-blade Varietv
would be much better.
A lull lias been introduced into
t he state legislature to im ure uni¬
formity in text books. The price
now is uniformly high, and some
legislation-in that direction would
be highly appreciated by the peo¬
ple of the state.
The Living Issues says : “If the
people have not the right to gov¬
ern themselves, who has the right
to govern them, and where did
they get that right?” Why, the
corporations, and they get the
right from the people at the bal¬
lot box. See?
Reform is not to be had for the
asking. The sooner the voter is
disabused of this idea and is made
to understand that it will require
labor in unstinted amount to
change the conditions, the better
it will be for him and the people.
A tree is always known by thy
fruit it bears, and a reformer by
his works.
The grand jury at Philadelphia
recently returned five indictments
against Senator Quay, his son, and
ex-Stato Treasurer Haywood,
charging them with conspiracy
with the late cashier of tho Peo-
plo’s bank for the use of bank
funds in the purchase of stocks,
and also with conspiracy for the
mis-appropnation of state funds
on deposit in said bank. The
cash'd' committed suicide last
Ma rch.
If politicians got in'office and
tiien create offices and steal pub¬
lic money enough to buy re-elec¬
tion, the people are to blame. The
plain voter will get just as good
government as they demand and
no better. It is getting to where
no politician or statesman will
undertake to make a sure enough
fight for the plain people. They
will become a candidate to fool
the people if corporations or coun¬
ty rings will invite them or put
up the campaign funds to buy
votes.
Rev. Lyman Abbott, editor of
the Outlook, lias tiiia to say on di-
rod legislation: “in my judg-
meat tho remedy tor the evils of
democracy is more democracy;
fresh appeals from the few t<y the
many—from the managers to the
people. 1 believe in. the refereii-
<a:in, and, it iihim. bunts, the ini-
tiative, because ik’iis .one..form of
this appoul fiUudlli. -W 0, the
many, from forces of abstract de-
moo racy to democracy that is the
iu-ie of the people.”
MolvINl-EV’S MESSAGE.
There is little or nothing L Mr.
McKinley’s annual mewage to
congress, long as that document
i.-, that indicates with any degree
of ooitainty, what policy lip in¬
tend- to follow towards thePhiUp-
ei: ; ■ 3 1,1 indicates that he has
not decided upon a policy, or if lie
lias, that ho is afraid to make it
public yet, and confirms the belief
of those who think that he intends
playing foxy on the Philippine
question until after he gets that
treaty of peace ratified by the sen¬
ate, and the $20,000,000 which we
are to pay Spain, appropriated by
congress, An announcement of a
positive policy before then might
result in making too many votes
against both treaty and appropri¬
ation.
Mr. McKinley’s handling of the
war and matters relating thereto,
in his message, contained no sur¬
prise. The message follows just
about the lines it was expected to
follow—lines plainly indicated for
weeks, aye months past, by official
and semi-official emanations from
the .administration. The message
also indicates very plainly that
Ml*. McKinley isn’t as anxious to
push along financial legislation as
some of the members of his patty
would like him to be.
A WESSON FROM HISTORY.
at . old middle-of-the-
roader, Noah, was preaching to
the antedeluvians and warning
them of their impending destruc¬
tion because of thoir wickedncs,
ed. jerred and made sport of him,
and called him a crank, and said
to him : “See what a small party
you have; your party will never
amount to anything. Old man,
you will have to join one or the
other ot the two old parties and go
along with the big crowd if you
expect to accomplish anything for
yourself and friends.”
But Noah kept right on preach¬
ing and building his ark. He pre¬
ferred to be right rather than be
with a Big crowd who were wrong.
And he and his righteous band
lived and ruled the land, and the
big crowd of evil-doers sunk to rise
no more.
THE COST OF WAR.
Mulhull, in his dictionary of
statistics, gives the following as
the cost of a few of the most im¬
portant wars of the present cent¬
ury. France and Mexico, 1806,
$75,000,000; Prusia and Austri,
1866, $100,000,000; France and
Austria 4859, $225,000,000; Russia
and Turkey 1870-77 $950,000,000;
the civil war in Europe 1848 $50,-
000,000; United States war, 1801-
05 $3,700,000,000; France and Al¬
geria, 1830-47, $190,000,000; Bra¬
zil and Paraguay . 1864-70, $240.-
000,000; France and Germany
1870-71, $1,580,000,000; the war
between Spain and Portugal 1880-
40, $250,000,000; the war between
Great Britain, France and Russia,
1854-56, $1,525,000,000. The na¬
tions of Europe spend annually
more than $3,000,000,000 on their
extensive armaments, through fear
of war. And still there are men

It seoms that tho Georgia legis¬
lature can’t find any place to re¬
duce expenses except by cutting
down the appropriations for com¬
mon schools and confederate vet¬
erans.
Taxes are too high and our bur¬
dens are heavy, hut it does seem
to us that the tunds for the bene¬
fit of Georgia’s maimed and needy
veterans and her bright-eyed boys
and girls should only be cut as. a
last resort.
Why not cut you own $1 per
day, Mr. Legislator, and meet every
other year? Why not let, the axe
fall upon tho from $1200 to $3000
salaried officials, and cut olf entire¬
ly the many useless ones, instead
of jumping on tho helpless child¬
rens' $4 per annum or t he crippled
soldiers $50 pension?
Look over your comptroller’s
book, gentlemen, and you will find
that many millions of property in
Georgia is .unreturned, and that
the men least able to bear it are
paying the taxes.
Procure a list of Georgia’s cor¬
porations, then add up their re¬
turns and you will find that they
are $50,000,000 short, and more.
Subtract their tax returns from
Dun’s commercial rating and see
if you are not short some $25,000,-
000 on merchandise alone.
Five hundred thousand acres of
land are mi returned and paying
no tax. Personal property "by the
million is hiding out; make notes
and accounts uncol.ectable unless
listed and returned, and see if our
known indebtedness don't rise at.
least $100,000,000 ip one year.
By all means cut down expendi¬
tures and appropriations; make
every dollar’s worth of property
bear its prorata tax, but don’t
make up for the mislegislation and
extravagance of bygone years by
cutting off the meager pittance of
our barefooted children and im¬
poverished soldiers!!—Advance-
Courier.
New designs for the one dollar
silver certificates have been com¬
pleted at the bureau of engraving
and printing, and the notes bear¬
ing them will be issued soon Clear¬
ness, simplicity and protection
against counterfeiting have been
the results chiefly aimed at. The
new design is somewhat less artis-
i ic than some of the present silver
certificates, but probably will be
more popular among those who
handle money. Thejcentral device
on the face of the note is an Amer¬
ican eagle with wings partly spread,
clutching the flag, and with the
dome of tho capitol in the back¬
ground. Below the platform upon
which the eagle stands are small
portraits of Lincoln and Grant,
set in medallions. Large and clear
figures are in each corner of the
note and on the sides. The space
between the central device and the
lathe work at the ends is clear
white proper, except for the im¬
print of the seal in one space and
the denomination of the note in
another. The seal upon the silver
certificates will be in blue, and the
figure in the open space will be m
the same ink.—Mercury.
With but one exception the em¬
ploying printers of Chicago will
grant shorter hours to their work*
men.
