Gov. Candler talked horsf
gense a few days ago to the Gid
eon’s Band of reformers who
went to him to enlist his a’d in
cutting official salaries. He said
to them : “You fellows are pull
ing at the wrong end of the
trace. It’s all right to talk about
lopping a couple of hundred
dollars off some fellow’s salary,
when you haven’t got anything
else’to do. But that is not the
idea now. We’ve got bigger
work oa hand. Why don’t you
know that if you should abolish
the whole statehouse force, in
cluding myself, you wouldn’t
make any perceptible reduction
in the tax rate, and you tell me
you want to reduce the taxes.
Now, 11l tell you what to do,
and I’m with you: Just go off
and study up some way to bring
more money into the treasury
and get more property into the
hands of the tax gatherer. Then
you won’t need to talk about
slicing this fellow’s salary or
abolishing that fellow’s office
for the sake of economy.—Ma

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processed
known to the California. Fig Si kuf
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
ay the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of tlmt fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of

SHERMAN'S LAMENT.
John Sherman, in a recent
interview, confirmed the worst
charges made against Hanna
and McKinley in reference to
the manner in which the old
man was ousted to give place
to tha Republican Warwick. Here
is the plaintive tale of the old
man :
“I -was always a supporter of
Pre. ident McKinley. You know
that hab ver he desired to have
—govt rnor, president, anything
I sustained. They always
called upon me and I responded.
But Ido b‘dl n vn that my
suggestions or wishes .vou'd now
be sustained by tkj ad tn .listra
tion. I consented to give up my
seat, as I did not want to ap
pear exacting. Always wi.h
good nature I have subscribed
to the program. I think that I
have been used for a purpose.
“They reaily did not want
me in the cabinet, but wanted
my senatorial seat. It was rep
resented to me that they could
not make up tne cabinet with
out me; that questions were
coming along that I ought to
have control of.
“I know that Hanna wanted
the rest of my term, and as
had always been friendly to me,
I did not desire to seem diso
bliging. So I resigned my seat
and went into the cabinet. Mr.
Hanna received the rest of my
term, but when he tried for a
term for himself he could only
get it by a single vote, notwith
standing the administration’s
support.
“It then began to be said that
I was growing forgetful and Be
nil*. Hanna, whom I had ©bilg
ed with my seat, was among the
first to say that I had lost ray
mentality. It was not a very
kind return for my vacating-my
seat for him.”
If the “silver craze” were
dead, as alleged by the gold or
gans for the steen thousandth
time, it would be natural for the
common people to believe that
the gold organs were “hainted”
by the ghost of the deceased,
alleged.
The McKinley-Hanna Co.,
limited, having heard from the
Carolinas, now’ have a clearer
idea of what the respectable
people of the South think of ne
gro officials and the black su
premacy said company has been
imposing on the South.

WHAT A NORTHERN PAPER
THINKS OF NEGRO SUF
FRAGE.
The following from the Phila
delphia Record Rums up the
cause of negro suffrage and its
outcome in a nut shall. It is in
deed a weapon placed in the
hand of the colored brother,
which bids fair to be his ruin.
This from the Record :
“Never was a worse political
mistake made in this country
than when the republican party
with the selfish view of securing
permanent control in the south
ern states, armed the ignorant
negro population with the right
of suffrage. The result has been
to halt negro advancement by
making the white population
antagonistic as a matter of self
preservation. The southern peo
ple have been made solidly anti
republican. Negro domination
has proved intolerable where
the experiment has been tried,
and a dangerous floating vote
has been added te the electorate
in states in which the negro
population is but a small percen
tage of the whole.
“After hundreds of years cf
slavery there should have been,
at least for the lifetime of two
or three generations, a season
of probation to fit the African
for the full exercise of the rights
of citizenship. Now the poor ne
gro without such an apprentice
ship has to wade in blood to
gather in the spoils of office to
which he deems himself entitled.
“For the race riots- in the
south there is no seeming help.
They are deplorable; they are
disgraceful. But our mistaken
policy has made them inevita
ble. The equality of the two
races has been established on
paper, but it cannot be main
tained in practice. The weaker
race must bend to the stronger .
This is a law that no act of con
gress can repeal.”
