THE Georgians are boasting over the fact
that since 1874 the number of persons in
that State unable TO read or write has de-
creased from 1924 to $500. The public
schools have been practically abolished un-
der Democratic rule it is true; but the laws
do not prohibit the niggers from learning
to read, write, and cipher, while the "poor
"whites have the same chance now they
always had.

THE POTTER Committee will go down to
history as the most successful orgoniza-
tion Of the kind that ever existed in this
Government. 1t was organized to cover up
and avoid the exposure of fraud, and it has
succeeded At the same time 1t has been q
very hot-bed for the growth of perjury
forgery, and the most outrageous political
wicledness.

been claiming the authorship of that

IT is currently reported that DAN VooR-
HE'S is now more vehemently in favor of
the trade-dollar than ever. If he receives
the unanimous support of the Democrats in
the Indiana Legislature he will lack one
vote of a reelection to be Senator 1t
therefore behooyes him to make a trade
with some National member of that body,
which he is dolorously inclined to do.

GENERAL GRANT will sail to India on

The st. Louis GioJe-Domocyat cast its
" tow-line" into the political pools here
about the other day and Gshed out the fact
that the Republicans in Congress have been
engaged in diabolcal plot to prevent
Southern Democrats from destroying them
selves. They have forbidden the sale of
liquor in the Capitol buildings, 1t makes
an exposure of this extraordinary plot as q
sufficient answer to the anonymous charge
in the Democratic organ not long ago that
the Democratic members of the House are
not dying off from natural causes" To
those who are posted about the cause of at
least one of those deaths, this charge would
appear TO be substantiated. But the least
that is said about it the better it will be for
the dead and the living; and especially will
it be better for the Democratic majority in
the House, of which it appears that some
members die before they get thoroughly
ACKLEN-ated.n

THE Senatorial contest in Wisconsin has
assumed a tripartite form, with few scat
tering votes. On the thirteenth ballot the
vote stood KEYEs, 80; CARPENTER, % (;
HOWE, %; with six scattering, and some
not voting. In thirteen ballotings KEYEs
had gained two votes and CARPENTER one
Since then there have been moro ballotings,
without decisive result In our hum
BILE judgment the interests Of the State
and the nation will be better subscrved by
a union of this divided strength on Senator
HOWE, so as to secure his return, than in
any other result likely to be reached OF
course, if CARPENTERS strength should go
over to KEYEs, that will settle the question
by securing his election but as KEYEs is
a new man, the selection Of either HOWE
or CARPENTER would give more strength
to the Republican cause than any other
result.

whose veracity is, TO say the least, ON a par
with that of the men who run the News and
