STARVED TO DEATH.

Once upon time a donkey fell
into deep hole, and after nearly
starving caught sight of passing
fox and implored the stranger to
help him out. ''I'm too small to aid
you," said the fox, "but I'll give you
some good advice. Only few rods
away is big strong elephant. Call
to HIM and he will get you out in a
jiffy." After the fox had gone the
donkey thus reasoned to himself:
IL am very weak for want of nour-
ishment. Every move l make is
just so much additional loss of
strength. If | raise my voice to
call the elephant | shall be weaker
yet. No | will not waste my SUBJ
stance that way. 1t is the duty of
the elephant to come without call
ing" So the donkey settled him
self back and eventually starved to
death. Long afterwards the fox on
passing the hole saw within it whit
ing skeleton and remarked: eff it
be true that the souls of animals
are transmigrated into men, that
donkey will become one of those
merchants who can never afford to
advertise"

WYOMING must be added to the
territories in which large colonies
of Mormons have been established.
1t is stated in the Salt Lake Herald
that in the last eighteen months
about four hundred Mormon fami-
lies have gone into the southwestern
part of the territory and taken
homestead there. The Herald copies
from Wyoming paper the predic-
ton that the census taken in 1890
will find in the western part of the
territory Mormons enough to con-
troll the county elections. 1t is
well-known that thousands of Nor
mons have settled in Idaho. There
are colonies in Colorado and Arizo-
ma. AS for Nevada, the Salt Lake
Herald declared year or two ago
that the Mormons could gain con-
troll of the government of that state
In SIX months it they should desire
to do so. Mormonism has cot to
be squelched sooner or later, and
the sooner it is done the better.

Let every white man, who is a
Georgian, read these words of the
Atlanta Journal:
We again earnestly exhort the
democrats of Georgia to maintain
their organization unbroken through
the exciting state and national con-
tests of this year. 1t is evident that
efforts will be made to divide them
on local issues, or to maintain a
slight difference on a question of
national policy, to be used to their
disadvantage in some future emer-
gency. AS a means of securing
unanimity in support of their nom
inees for this years election, as
we'll as the maintenance of the
integrity of the party in after years,
these local or secondary issues
should, as far as possible, be disre-
garded in the making of nominal
tons. 1t may not be possible to
ignore them entirely in the selec-
ton of local candidates, but when
nominations are made, every demo-
crat should give them his hearty
support. This is pure democracy
acquiescence in the decision of the
maiority-and any departure from
it is prejudicial to party harmony,

Hon. Judson C. Clements was re-
nominated by reclamation at Cedar
town last Thursday for his fifth
term in Congress. This is high
compliment paid to Mr.. Clements
by the Democracy of the 7th district.
He is now the standard bearer of the
party, and of course the favored can
didate of every Democrat and will
be reelected. He has made faithful
and honest member of Congress,
and has valuable experience that
will make him an efficient represen-
tative. lack Hargroves, of Rome,
is the Republican candidate, and
will make the race just to let people
know that he wants to be a monrner
at the Republican funeral this fall.
THE Republicans of the Both Sena-
torial District composed of Cobb,
Fulton and Clayton, held conven-
ton in Atlanta on last Friday, and
nominated Francis NJ Van Pelt for
Senator. The delegates from Cobb
were J. Spilman, J. Kemble, J. H.
Fair and J. Y. Starks. In their
platform adopted is this:
eve are opposed to the legisla-
ture OF the State interfering by any
act, or otherwise In any manner or
form, with the special act of prohi-
bition passed for Cobb county. We
are opposed to the sale of the
State road and the payment for
"betterments" except such as are
just between man and man." The
platform says their candidate, if
elected, will favor more liberal
appropriation for public education.
Mr.. Van Pelt is "new one" to us,
but rest assured he will be "Pelted"
with "Rice."
