It must have been pretty tough
on Lord Beresford to be compelled
to take a thrashing in a Georgia
convict camp. —Augusta Herald.
Not as tough as the infamous
scoundrel deserves. And right
here the Hustler of Rome wants
to say this in answer to a ques
tion asking why we never “lei up”
( o i a “mail” who is d wu. No
man can truthfully say, that the
Hustler of Rome has ever hit a

AN APPEAL TO GORDON.
We have received from the Ce
dartown Company a copy of a let
ter it has sent to Senator Gordon'
asking him to vote against free
iron ore and the reduction of tho
duty on pig iron to 22 per ceut. nd
valorem, as provided for in the
Wilson bill.
The Cedartowu Company has
it’s headquarters in Philadelphia,
but owns and operates iron mines
and furnaces in Polk county,
Georgia.’
The letter speaks of the present
low price of iron and predicts die
aster for southern iron interests if
the Wilson bill passes m its
present ehi pe.
It does nor, however, refur to
the fact that the prices of foreign
and domestic iron are so near to
gether that the locality of the
southern iron mines and furnaces
gives them substantial protection.
It has been stated often on good
authority that pig iron could be made
in the South almost, if not quite, as
cheaply as it can be made in Eng
land. It is conceded that the South
has great advantages over any otbei
section of the country for the manu -
facture of pig iron, and we cannot
understand how free ore and a re
duced tariff on pig iron can hurt the
southern iron industsy.
The letter of the Cedartown Co.,
asks Gen. Gordon to run counter to
the pledge of the Democratic plat
form that the tariff shall be reformed
“in the direction of free raw mater
i ds” and to oppose a part of a Demo
cratic tariff bill which has been fram
ed exactly on that line. We have no
idea that he will do any such thing.

If the south will manufacture
its coilon instead of sending it
East and to Liverpool such an era
of prosperity would be ushered in
as can hardly bo conceived of ;and
the time will comewhen the South
will do it. It is already moving in
that direction —Marietta Journal.
An exchange tells us of a man
! who claimed lhat he was too poor
to take his county paper, but all

from slobbering,and he sent a dol

THEY ARE SNORING TOGETHER
Wonders never ceas ! The Atlan
j ta Journal and Constitution are both
supporting General Evans for Gevcrn
or. It takes “religion’’ to make
these two papers take snuff and
sneeze together.—Marietta Jour
nal.
Politics make strange bedfellows.
The Atlanta Constitution and the At
lanta Journal are t igether in their
choice for governor There must be.
son’ething in it for Atlanta that is
not yet in sight.—Toccoa News.

the Constitution and Atlanta Journal
do the lion and lamb act. Politics
makes strange badfi I’ows, and hard

makers cannot elect Evans or any otb 1
er candidate of the Atlanta ring.—
Madi on Madisonian.
The Atlanta papers think Mr. At
kinson should retire from the field in

THE DANGER OF WAR.
Perhaps a d< z-ni times since
1870, so called close observers of
political events in Furope have
been sure that a great «ar was
about io begin. They have been dis
appointed sb often th.it th ir a igu
ries have come to be laughed st b. 5
newspaper readers. Just now, hor -
ever, their prophecies of evil are
listened to with more respect than
usual. There is no doubt that tho
situat i ai is not at al I what it sh uld
be. and there is a possibility that
will:in a few months the men who
control the destinies of European
conn’ries will reach the conclu
s’on that war is to be desired rath
er t han avoided,
A Gerdban si a tecman was quoted
in our dispatches a few days ago
as saying “Italy has again become
a sei ions menauce to the peace of
Europe.’’ This is true not because
of Italy’s strength, but because of
her weakness. The signs multiply
that the people of that country
have reached the point in discon
tent where they will refuse to bear
any longer the burdens imposed
upon them by their overgrown
military system. The government
lias found it necessary to hurry
10,090 soldiers to Sicily, in addi
tion to the large army already
quartered there, in order to hold
down the rioting, half starved
peasantry. It has ordered the>rmy
to be increased to its full peace
force, and artillery and engineer
•fifiicers have received orders to
put the fortresses in upper Italy,
on the gulf of Genoa ajid the gulf
of Vienna on a war fooling. This
is done in the face of an enormous
financial deficit already existing
and a great falling off in the reve
nues.
The danger of the situation lies
in the fact that the Italian govern
ment and its allies may be forced
to the conclusion that i's military
system is about to break down, and
therefore the safest course for the
triple alliance to purt-u-, is to fight
at once, rather than wait for war
to be forced upon it when it is
weaker than i ow, and France and
Russia stronger What this dan
ger amounts to, not one of the
“careful observers” so frequently
quoted in the cablo dispatches
knows, but it exists, and there are
many who believe that the great
war for supremacy in Europe w ill
be fought in the year 1894. —Ma-
