Gen. Weaver in Georgia.

The presidential candidate OF the Peoples
party has begun his campaign in Georgia.
/ His first speech, which was delivered at
Wsycross yesterday, was not a great sue
cess. There does not appear TO have been
very great desire either to see him or TO
hear what he had to say. His audience wes
a small one, made up Of democrats, colored
people and few third party people.
Gen. Weaver's speech was a rather tame
affair. He excited very little enthusiasm,
and his meeting would have been regarded
as a failure. in all probability, if Mrs.
Lease had not helped him out by delivering
! g rather spirited address. Mrs. Lease seems
TO be the better half OF the third party and
If 10 should get control OF the government
she would be the boss of the administration,
probably. However, there is no prospect
that she will have a chance TO run the gov
eminent.
Gen. Weaver denied the charges that have
been made against him by people living at
Pulaski, Tenn. According to his statement
he acted only as brave and generous SOL
der should act. 1t Is strange that the
Pulaski people entertain sentiments with
regard to him wholly different from those
they entertain for Judge Gresham. Both
were In command at different times at
Pulaski. Perhaps the Pulaski people will
have something further to say in reply to
Gen. Weaver's denial.
Gen. Weaver practically admitted that
he has said some pretty harsh things about
the southern people, but be wants it uRder-
stood that he said them when he was re-
publican. He has nothing but praise for
the southern people now. He wants their
votes.
1t would be interesting to know what
Gen. Weaver meant by saying, as
he is reported to have said, that
Col Livingston wanted the people to
vote for "5-cent cotton" What have DO.
litioal platforms to do with the price of cot
toni II the platform of the Peoples party
should become the law Of the land the price
Of cotton would not be any higher for that
reason. The price Of cotton is not fixed In
this country. 1t is fixed when the surplus
cotton is sold-in Europe, and 10 is not
affected by the abundance or scarcity of
money in this country.
II Gen. Weaver does not make a bet
ter impression elsewhere in the state than he
did at Waycross his visit to Georgia will be
q pro6tless one.

A year or two or go, when Sullivan and
Kilrain were preparing for their prize-Aght,
they found themselves INSTRUCTED by the
law at every possible turn. And when they
started south to find place to pitch the
ring and fight, they were forced to run a
gauntlet Of sherifRs and deputies, and many
officers followed them from place to place
for the purpose of arresting them. Each
state was on its mettle to see that it
peace and dignity was not outraged. So
ardent were the servants of the states in the
chase that the pugilists we're forced to take
to the woods. They were not allowed to
fight in town and under a roof, but were
obliged to stake off twenty-four feet OF
sodden Mississippi soil and do battle In the
open air. After the fight they were ar
rested, prosecuted, convicted and sentenced
under the laws of Mississippi. Kilrain
served time on plantation and Sullivan
paid fine. The trials Of the men and Kill
rains imprisonment were farcical; never
theless a show Of defending the states honor
had been made.
The recent fights at New Orleans we're
under very different circumstances. They
were held In pavilion built for the pur-
pose and were under police protection. All
Of this because lightweight gloves, which
brought the fight within the lawn and
made it "boxing contest" were used,
They were all prize-flghts, pure and simple,
and the Sullivan-Kilrain fight with skin
tight gloves was not near SO brutal as the
Sullivan-C orbett fight with 5-ounce gloves.
They were widely advertised as prize-fights,
the size of the purses were stated and 1t
was expressly understood that one contest
ant in each fight must be beaten into help
lessness or insensibility before the fight
would end
Wherein would a commonwealth have
been disgraoed by the Kilrain fight and not
by the Corbett fights Wherein was the diff

''gloved" prize>ights, as public as theatrical
performances, within her own borders.
There is, on Coney Island, a club established
for the purpose of arranging and holding
such exhibitions.
The laws of some Of the states against
prize-aghting, it seems, have become virtu-
ally dead letters.

Scoring the Hamburg Oonnnanu.

Scoring the Hamburg Company.
Some Of the New York preachers spoke
savagely OF the Hamburg American Steam.
ship Company in their sermons last Sunday.
One of them, the Rev. Madison G. Peters,
Of the Reformed church, said: "Ths un-
scrupulous managers of the Hamburg
American Packet Company not only first
sent to US the cholera, but with devilish
persistence keep on sending shiploads of
pestllenoe to our port, fostering their greed
at the expense OF the lives of our people
and the loss Of millions of dollars of busi-
ness. Let the American people never for
get that this company lied and induced the
Normannia passengers to ship because the
managers swore that no steerage passengers
were on board. This oompany's insult to
this country will never be forgotten. No
American should ever again patronize it,
None of its vessels should ever be allowed
TO land at any American port. I sincerely
hope that all the Normannias passengers
will institute heavy damage suits, and l
would like to see these suits pushed to the
bankruptcy of the company. by a popular
subscription, II necessary. This common
carrier of cholera insists that 1t must carry
out Its contracts made three months ahead
or be punished by the German government,
from which it receives a subsidy"
There is very bitter feeling through
out the country against the Hamburg
company and 10 will be long time
before that company will again have
the good will of the American people. 1t
should have stopped carrying immigrants
as soon as il knew the cholera had ap-
peared in Hamburg. 1t did nothing of the
kind. Even after it had promised to cease
carrying immigrants 10 continued to bring
shiploads of them. Only day or two ago
one Of its steamers arrived at the New York
| quarantine with several cases Of cholera.
| The company, while promising much, does
not appear to have co-operated in any way
toward keeping cholera out of this country.
It certainly has no ground for expecting
patronage from the American people. 1t
will likely get much less business on this
side of the Atlantic In the future than il
has heretofore.
