WEAVER TOLD THE TRUTH.

The Democratic State Committee of Geor-
gia Did Not Deny Quick e Rough.
The Democratic state executive COM
mittee of Georgia makes itself ridicu-
lous and adds insult to injury by de-
claring that there was but one egg
thrown at Gen. Weaver and party and
that it was thrown by a small boy, who
was chastised therefor.
In the New York World of Sept. 81
there appeared special telegram, OF
the first two paragraphs of which the
following is copy:
Especial to the World
"WAYcRoss, Ca, Sept. 20.-Gen.
Weaver and his stamping mate, Mrs
Lease, of Kansas, opened the peoples
party campaign here in the wire-grass
region this morning, while Gen. Field
spoke in Savannah tonight and ICY
clone" Davis harangued the people up
at Stone Mountain. Great prepare
tions had been made for the Weaver.
Lease show here. Posters had been
spread all over the state announcing
their coming, but the young democracy
down here for weeks have been prepar.
ing to give them a warm reception, and
the price of stale eggs has increased
steadily until yesterday they brought a
nickel each, and the young democrats
had good supply"
In addition to this, the Inter Ocean
says: ''The Memphis Commercial takes
much satisfaction out of the fact that
Gen. Weaver was egged in Georgia and
denied free speech. 1t says to Weaver.
in closing long editorial abusing him:
And when you start another political
party next year, please shiny on your
own side of Mason and Dixon's line, and
yet there are democrats in the north
who claim that speech and political &C
ton are as free in the south as in the
north"

The way to preserve intact a gov

President Harrison, in his letter OF
acceptance, endeavors to convince the
masses of the people, the poor, that the

-Leverett Leonard addressed 5000
people at the fair at Maryville, Mo.
His speech was received with the wild
est enthusiasm. Mr.. Gillette, Weaver's
partner;.said after the speech: 'sThat
was as able and convincing argument
as ever heard" Messrs Gillette and
]. Weller Long also addressed the as
semb1y in the interest of the peoples
party. They were heartily received.

Weaver will fill his appointments in
North Carolina. There is small ele-
ment here who would like to mistreat
him, but his friends will see that he
has fair show. North Carolina will
not be disgraced by the action Of

public have to thank the granger poll

That this is all a lie, we propose to
prove from railway authority. We
quote from the work of Mr.. A. B. Stick
ney, chairman of the board of directors
of the Chicago, st. Paul & Kansas City
(now Great WesterD railway, entitled
''The Railway Problem" He says,
page IS:
During the whole course Of so-called
granger legislation, no legislature has
established by law nor has any railway
commission promulgated, schedule Of
rates SO low as materially to reduce the
revenues of the companies, had the
companies adopted the schedules and
enforced them as whole-Page Sc.
The truth is-and it is time the invest
ing public should be told the truth-it
is not the so-called granger law nor
the interstate law, nor the acts of COM
missions, which have reduced the rates
Of transportation to the present un-
profitable level, but the mismanage-
mont of the companies. Page "a: The
truth of the conclusion in regard to
rates will appear by comparing the
average rate of the principal Illinois
lines with the commissioners tariff.
The average rate per ton per mile for
the past year on the Chicago & Alton
was nine and two-tenths mills;
on the Illinois Central ten and
three tenths mills; on the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific nine and seven
tenths mills. The lowest rate on the
lowest class (coaD of the Illinois COM
missioners for the longest haul is six
and one-half mills, and if this tariff had
been applied to all the business of these
three companies, it is probable that it
would have increased their earnings
from 80 to 40 per cent"
The railway managers are thus shown
to be cowardly, trying to throw the re-
sponsibility of their mismanagemento on
the Farmers Alliance, and are aided
and allotted in their efforts to prejudice
railway employees and others against
the ''grangers" by the monopoly organ
which has the gall to pose as defender
of the people against monopolies.

). The Registers hypocritical profess
sions of hatred Of monopolies and love
of the farmers ought to deceive no one,
as long as it continues to publish from
railway journals at so much per line
long articles attacking the Farmers
Alliance and denouncing all who advo-
cate control of railway rates as dema-
gogues. In the Register of the 18th APP
peared an article of nearly column in
length taken from the Railway Age
and Northwestern Railroader bitterly
attacking those who insist that the
public highways shall not be absolutely
given over to private corporations to be

|. According to a dispatch Gen. Weaver
refused to speak In Atlanta Friday. He
had seven appointments in the state.
The first three were filed. At Albany
and Columbus the bourbons hired
toughs to engage in most disgraceful
proceedings. At Macon rotten eggs
were thrown, one Of which struck Mrs
Weaver on the head Gen. Weaver,
after comforting with friends, concluded
not to fill the last four appointments,
and wrote letter to Mr. r. D. Irwin,
chairman of the peoples party execu-
tive committee, giving reasons
The democrats of Georgia, instead Of
meeting him with speakers, have re-
sorted to tactics that are disgrace to
civilization. Gen. Weaver is a gentle
man, and his speeches have all been

them was published in this paper re-

While these proceedings will cause
all honest people to blush with shame
to think that any element of people in
any section of the Gland of the Free"
where freedom of speech" and 'of the
press" has been the motto for wears,
should disgrace themselves, yet the
friends of reform will shed no tears.
The action of those Georgia toughs and
their hackers will undoubtedly carry
that state for Weaver. It will have a
powerful influence on the conservative
voters of every state in the union. It
means thousands of votes to Weaver

TIE water supply committee of the
city council met yesterday and were ad-
dressed by the leading lawyers-who,
however disclaimed to be there to repre-
sent any special interest--on the subject
of the best method to adopt in meeting
the question OF securing to the city the
ownership oimunicipal water-works. 1t
seems to us that there is no need for
hurry in dealing with this matter. The
City Water company's franchise runs
for several years yet. and in the mean
time the subject can be carefully exam
ined from all points, SO as to enable the
people to come to the best conclusion
possible. The city is not prepared to
assume ahuge indebtedness to carry out
any plan at moments notice; and as
we have plenty of time at our disposal,
there is no need whatever of premature
or precipitate action. But to begin with,
nobody wants the city to have anything
to do with the fifty years lease PROPOSE
ton. That is absurd.

high places with all the ability and
virtues that characterized their distin-
guished predecessors. But the lowering
OF the morale of the senatorial materiel
has been going on with such alarming
rapidity that if we delay much longer to
insist upon the constitutional change
of the method of election we may soon
find that it is too late, and that the
millionaire senators will be strong
enough to defeat any effort that may be
made to submit the proposed amend
ment to the states.
The speech of Senator Palmer on this
subject few days since brought out the
fact that many senators are in sympathy
with it, so that there is no time to lose
if we would not have this question
postponed to period when the senate
will be so constituted that it will abso-
lutely refuse to yield to the public de-
mand on this subject.

THE announcement that Mr.. Elwood
Cooper has sold his ranch, including his
olive orchards and the works for ex-
tracing and putting up the oil,
to az English syndicate, is prob
ably true. But that he sold it for
100000 is altogether incredible. Had
the report said 100000, that
would have been something near rea-
sonable figure. His ranch covers over
5000 acres, and has wind-breaks COM
posed of 100000 eucalyptus trees full
grown, which latter alone would be
worth more than the price stated.
Every body will regret that Mr.. Cooper
has made up his mind to go out of busi-
ness. His retirement will be a great
