PREPARATION for the Fair proceeds
satisfactorily, and every day brings
encouraging letters from all parts of
the state notifying the management
of arrangements being made for ex-
hibits. The railways will do more
than they have ever before done in
the way of low fares, and the grounds
and buildings will be in better con-
dition than heretofore. This Fair is
bound to be success, and the peo-
pie are coming by thousands to take
it in.

THE idea that the United States is
at war with all other countries because
she protects her own industries from
the ruinous inroads of pauper labor,
is one of those peculiar idiosyncracies
Of the democratic mind that seem
past accounting for. This is the
latest phase of the free trade question
as elucidated by democratic writers.
1t is sad but unavoidable. The pro-
tective tariff must continue. The re-
publican party has undertaken to
defend the working forces of this
country from the invading army of
low-priced labor, that would take
forty-three cents out of every dollar
earned by American workingmen,
and the republican party must be
true to its mission. 1t may be war,
but 1t is defensive war; war against
poor food, hard conditions, low
wages, pauperism, Ignorance and in
dustrial serfdom.

THE threat of the governor of
Georgia to cut loose from the North,
in case the Federal elections bill
passes, and boycott her trade devel-
oping only southern resources and
patronizing industries, is 9 little
funny. The South is building up on
the capital and energy of the North
as much as that of the South, and is
destined to be less distinctively South
every year. The cutting Loose was
attempted some years since, but not
with any distinguished success. An
industrial secession will be as futile
as political one.

An ex-Conyict Captured.

Constable G. Q. Boyd and Deputy
Sheriff league made a right impor-
tant arrest in this city on Sunday
night between 10 and II o'clock.
The game which they bagged was
an ex-convict, Willie Waddell, the
son of Tom Waddell, q well known
colored man who lives east of town
a short distance. Young Waddell
has the reputation of being a tough
nut, and his looks and record do not
belle him. In 1880 he was conVic-
ted in the district court of Washing
ton county Of horsetheft and was
sentenced to the penltentiary for a
term of five years. After serving
two years, however, he made his es-
cape and returned to his old bust
ness of stealing horses, until he fell
into the clutches of the officers of
Robertson county, where he was
tried on charge of horsetheft, was
convicted and sentenced for the
term of fifteen years. Last Februa-
ry he again made his escape while
working in a convict camp. Knowing
that he was originally from this
county, the officers here were mott
fed of his second escape and had
been on the lookout ever since. Con
stable Boyd heard about month
ago that he was hired out doing
farm work in this county, and was
engaged several days in trying to
perfect plans for his capture. But
he knew that if he didn't succeed at
the first effort the game would be
warned and would escape. He,
therefore, had to possess his soul IN
patience until he could catch him in
town. The officer learned that he
was in the habit of coming in every
night and watched his
chance. He got Deputy league to
accompany him and they lay in wait
at the old colored church near Hog
branch until Waddell came along
with another darkey, when they
jumped out and aabbed him. Wad-
dell was armed and would have
made desperate resistance if he
could have had a chance. But both
officers presented their pistols and
finally to bring him to
terms and to disarm him after they
had punched his head a few times.
The capture of the convict was a
shrewd piece of work for which the
officers deserve much credit. But
for their cool, patient management
of the case they would never have
succeeded in catching him.

OUR FAITH uNSHAkEN.

Now that our democratic friends
have stopped yelling long enough to
hear, will some of them kindly inform
us what possible use their party can
make of the victory it has obtained
over the republican party by a skill
full combination OF all the elements of
opposition, including the republican
sore heads, and a liberal expenditure
Of money among the "flosters ?"
With its two-thirds of the house of
the house of representative the demo-
cratic party cannot repeal a single
law now upon our statute books, nor
can it enact q law unless 1t meets
with the approval of a republican
senate and q repu blican. president.
These facts seem to be overlooked by
the too jubilant democrats.
It's useless to waste time in ex-
planning why the republican party
was beaten. We are licked and bad
ly licked at that, and that's enough.
But we now make the prophecy that
the principal cause of our defeat this
year will also be the principal cause
of our victory in 1892. We refer, of
course to the new tariff law. Up to
this time only the bad side of that
measure has been visible, and that
has been greatly magnified and ex.
aggerated by greedy and unscrupul.
GUS merchants, who have taken ad.
vantage of the passage of that meas.
ure, to add to the prices OF
hundreds of articles which are
in no way affected by it, In order
to put money in their pockets at the
the expense of the consumers. And
that this policy which was ably aid
ed and abetted by the democratic
managers, was the direct cause O.
thousands of republican votes being
cast for democratic nominees canno
for moment be doubted. Long be
fore two years shall have rolled
around this law will have by III
workings, practically shown that /
is the best of its kind ever enacted
and the same people who votet
against the republicans because of it
enactment by a republica congress
will be the loudest shouters in it
favor. Mark the prediction.
Our faith in the principles of the re
publican party is not shaken. w
believe that the future prosperity c
the country and the stability of GU
institutions are largely dependen
upon the success of that party, and
majority of the voters in the Unite
States believe with US, but in so
years. there are always lots of voter
who, for various reasons, do not vol
as they believe. This year the nun
Der was unusually large.
