Judge Hines,the third party candi date for govern >r, says that he is in favor of repealing the tax on state banks.

The Jackson Argus talks straight from the ehouldei. Hear it; ‘•The sweetest notes of Heaven pro duced by tho magic touch of an an gel on the golden harp of redeeming love would contain no mußic,nor pro dace no pleasant sensation upon, the bewildered soul of the populist lader, calamity howler or a chronic grum bler.” An irate dame tried to bluff B.

Tom's right. Lot the bone get all the consolotion it can out of the fight, Tom Watson has a much richer thing in gulling the people into paying for his third party doctrine than he had in being a member of congress. Tom is no fool when it comes to making money. He had a silver mine in his “Peoples Par ty Paper,” and now he has estab lished a regular mint in the publi cation of his “Daily Press.” When the third party goes like all other third partieshave gone, Tom Wat son will not be worsted.—Buchan an Banner Messenger. Tims and again Mr. Atkinson has declared in his speecn that he would rather see this people stricken with deadly pestilence than to see his op ponent elected,—Daily Press. The people of Rome know better than that. Tney hea’’d Mr, Atkinson pledge General Evans from the stump that he wou'd tak > the tel ! for the General if tue democratic majority said so. Let little Tommy Watson confine himself to the facts. Let Liin name a man who has ever heard W. Y. Atkinson use the language that Tommies Cartoonist charges. Here’s a remarkable story going the rounds: “A cartoon which the Paris Figaro had ready to publish at the time of President Carnot’s death was one of the usual illus trations by Forain. The artist, thinkng of the possible retirement of Carnot from the presidency, had figured two waiters at the banquet of Lyons exchanging opinions. One says to the other, pointing at Caruot: “Lock at him well; it is the laet time you will see him.” Os course th) picture was never pub lished .” GEORGIA SNAKES AND VARMINTS Mr, S, W.

WtiUor, explaining to a corre soondeut wh.it is me mt by the r-x pression “ratio of 16 to 1 ' says: “By the ratio of 16 to 1 is meant that gold is sixteen times more pre- 1 cious than silver, and that sl6 wm bo made of the same weight of gold which nukes $1 of silver It seems to us that in this brief paragraph Mr. Watson poiut-out the weakness of bis position as an a Ivo cate of the free coinage of silver at t ; :e ; 16 to 1 ratio. How does be know that: gold is just sixteen times more pro- ■ cious than silver? The markets say it I is about t'lii'ty times more preeiou j ■ and we are incline 1 i,o think ti e con census of human opinion, expressed in the markets, is more valuable than Air. Watson's opinion. Possible we are wrong ° t If the ratio of 16 to ' was adopted because gold was sixteen times more valuable thaa gold, ought not the same principle to oblain now? If it was important enough to determine the proper ratio then, it seems to us thai i,. should determine the ratio now. If uquautity of silver weighing sixteen tint's ns much as a gold dollar is not worth a dollar,but on ly 50 cents, why should the govern ment coin it and try to make the citizens of the country take it for 100 cents? That would be to entire ly ignore the principle on wbicn Washington, Jefferson and Hamil ton acted when tney fixed the corn ing ratio of the two mentals, —Ma- con Telegraph. A DANGEROUS DEMAGOGUE* In an interview in a Cincinnati paper, Mr. Leo Canman, railroad editor of the Chicago Tribune, in response to the question: “Is it true that the rioting was dose by the rabble and not the strikers?” said : “No, I was in the thick of the whole thing, saw the progress of it all from beginning to end, and I have no doubt that the strikers instigated the violence. Tho lead ers, perhaps, did not want it; but even they encouraged it indirectly by their course of action. The rab • ble, of course, had a hand in it, as the rabble always has whenever there is trouble of such a nature, but that report, that the strikers had nothing to do with it will not hold water.’’ Air. Canman also had something to say about Debs. He character ized him as a skyrocket that had gone up suddenly and had now come down again, with a dull, sickening thud.” And yet,” he added, “the man j has a good deal ot ability. He is a politician through and through, and was once a member of the leg islature of Indiana, His one am bition was t > unite all the labor organizations into one immense order, with himself at tho head of it. The Pullman strike seems to him an opportune moment at which to make the attempt. It was an attempt at a ccllossal bluff,and it has failed as completely as any thing ever failed in this world.” “The strike, th«u, was really a political move.” “Beyond a doubt, ’’replied Mr. Canman.“lt was a very bold play to force Eugene V. Debs upon the People's party ticket as its next candidate for president. His course was that of an ambitios demago gue who played for ajbig stake and lost.Heis an altogether differ ent sort of man from some of the labor leaders whom we have known in*this vicinity,” NOTICE.
