THAT REVISED LIST,

Ward McAllister, the sutocrat Of
the elite OF New York, has repented
OF his generosity and liberality in con-
ceding that the creme de Ia creme OF
society in that city could embrace 30
large number as Four hundred, so
he has revised his list and cut it down
to one hundred and fifty. He ex-
plains that this list is the very inner
circle of society as he has found it,
and that the rest are only the outer
fringe, the sort Of ragged edge which
isl Indispensable, but which should
not be Gin it" Ia the most esthetic
sense.
Among the victims OF Wards mex
orable blue pencil is Chauncey De-
pew-our Chauncey-the head and
front Of whose offending is that he is
too long winded. The social auto
crat explains that "Chey wouldn't
stand Depew at a dinner in London,
don'tcherknow. He is too long-wlnd-

in again, don'tcherknow."
This is funny, but at the same time
there is something little pathetic in
it. No doubt there are a great many
respectable but not overwise people in
New York to whom the fiat Of this
empty-headed noodle appears to pos
sess the force Of an imperial edict in
Russia. They will accept their SEN
tence of Punishment from the
charmed circle. but at the same time
will move heaven and earth to secure
u reversal Of it.
It is a singular commentary on
American society that it should allow
itself to be bullyragged by man who
has no claims to domination except
such as he has impudently asserted
on his own responsibility. His model
and prototype, Beau Brummel, was
man of brains and wit as we'll as a
dundy and leader of society, but
Ward McAllister seems TO have moth
ing but his nance, and TO that he does
very little honor.-San Francisco

Land rranssormed By AntS.

A traveller In Central Australia has
discovered that the surface OF the coun-
try has been greatly changed by what
may appear at first thought ridiculous
sgency-the white ants. On plaipssn
in thickets their nests are so numerous
that Il Is difficult to drive among them.
The clay with which the nests are built
IS, when eemented with resinous
matter, as hard as brick, and vSncn the
nests fall to pieces they form clay flats,
almost impervious to water and not
easily cut up by traffic. The work Of
these creatures can be studied in all
stages; first in the thickets, where they
are commencing work; then In the more
open country, where they have crowded
out the timber; next on the plans,
where half the hills will be found de-
serted; and lastly on the clay flats,
where they have almost entirely dis
appeared and the scrub has begun to
grow again. The nests are further re-
markable for the large proportion of
iron they contain.

BagllIskA.

The basiIisk was the most famous Of
the many fabulous monsters Of medic
val folklore. According to the popular
notion it was hatchcd by toad from
an egg laid by a cock Of the common
barnyard fowl. In the ancient picture
books it was usually represented as an
eight-limbed serpent or dragon, some
times with and sometimes without
wings.

MACON, Ia, sept. z, 1897.
The Peoples party in convention

names appear below, and adopted
the following resolutions:
Be it resolVed by the Peoples
party Of Bib county, in convention
assembled.
/. That we endorse both Nation.
al and State platforms and nominees
and pledge our undivided support to
the same, believing that in the meas
ures set forth therein we see. the only
hope of relief offered by any plat
form to the producers and laborers.
2. That we condemn the action
of the cowardly majority in the
present Congress in not passing any
measure of relief demanded by the
people by whose votes they were
elected; for killing the free silver bill
which was endorsed by twenty-nine'
Democratic State Conventions; for
useless extravaganza, exceeding the
billion dollar Congress, SO strongly
denounced to the dear people be-
fore elections; for the failure to re-
peal the Mckinley bill; that out
rage upon debt-ridden tax OPP
pressed people though pledged to do
so.
8. That we most heartily endorse
the course Of Thos. T, Watson, our
fearless defender, both in and out OF
Congress, and we hereby express our
scorn and loathing for the cowardty
conspiritors composing the majority
of the investigating committee who
sought by every means to prove the
truth a lie, and who refused to allow
the minority report, which complete
ly exonorated him, TO appear upon
the records of Congress, an act with
out precedent in the history Of our
country.
4. That we condemn in the
strongest terms the inhuman convict
lease system of our State.
8. That we demand the most
rigid economy in both state and
county affairs.
6. That to carry ous our faith in
the above platforms. We place can
didates in the field who stand square
ly upon the Omaha platform.
Therefore we nominate, to repre-
sent us in the next Legislature, Jno.

Walker County.

The Alliance picnic and Peoples
party rally at New Salem Church, on
Lookout Mountain, last Saturday,
was a complete success. At least
eighty per cent of the voters present
were Peoples party men.
People from Dade, Walker and
Catoosa counties were present. A
string band furnished music for the
occasion.
The first speaker was Rev. J. L.
Perryman, president Of the Walker
County Alliance, whose speech was
able and to the point. He closed
with an eloquent appeal to the people
to bury sectional prejudice, cease
singing sectional songs, and join the
West and North in singing alone,
Sweet Home" His speech was well
received, as shown by the applause
and cries of "Hurrah for Perry
man!''
Mr.. r. L. Henderson, independent
Democratic candidate for Senator
from the rty-fourth district, de-
fined his position on the leading State
issues.
Mr.. W. B. Howard, Peoples party
nominee for State Senator, stated
that he stood square on the Omaha
platform. He reviewed the records
OF the two old parties, placing the
blame. where it belongs. He spoke
in a bold, open, fearless and pleas
ant manner, and it was plain that the
crowd was with him.
A bountiful dinner was spread by
the ladies, which was heartily eaten,
and many were the compliments
those ladies received.
After dinner, good speeches were
made by Mr.. G. "A. Cameron, one of

The first number of the Peoples
Rights, Montezuma, Ga, has come
to hand. 1t is 48 column home
print, and ably edited. 1t says:
What is there in the politics of the
old parties worth contending for !?
Because there is no other issue, men
talk about the tariff, The campaign
blab has baen kept up over this issue
for twenty years. Under the pre-
sent system of things tariff is tax
burden borne by industrial classes to
meet the expenses of the government.
It cannot be abolished without pro-
viding some other revenue to defray
public expenditure. The eternal
quarrel between Democrats and
Republicans about the. matter Is,
whether more or less of the burden
shall be carried on this or the other
shoulder. The burden is great and
the industrial classes complain, but
neither old party offers more than to
readjust the burden upon this or the
other shoulder. All The street and
platform chatter, all the newspaper
and congressional chatter, turns
upon some Intimately small readjust-
ment of the burdens upon the same
shoulders-the shoulders of the in
dustrial classes. There is perfect
agreement between the old parties
that this is the prober and only rest
ing place for the burden, but each
tries to win favors by pretending to
know better than the other fellows
how to adjust the burden comfort
ably. 1t is the pretense the tariff
burden can be made comfortable
that deceives the people.

Tatnall County.

Reidsville has had the biggest
democratic meeting, September 8,
that has ever been at that place
They obtained the services of a col
ored band, fred the signal gun the
evening before and at sunrise on the
day. They got General Gordon and
Colonel Lester to make their last
will, as most old folks do before they
die.
Just before the speaking, and after
the people were seated, careful
count was made Of the seating ca
pacity of the arbor, which revealed !:
Men and boys, 500
Ladies and children, 200
Colored men and women, $50
1otaI' 1850
Late in the evening a true estimate
of Peoples party voters was con
coded to be one-third Of the voting
strength present, which would leave
the democrats about 700, as nearly
as can be estimated by responsible
men ON both sides. This will be
their voting strength in Tatnall
county, or very near to this number.
The voting strength Of this county,
as near as can be estimated from the
assessors books, is 2,250, the demo-
Gratis having 700, leaving l $50 for
the Peoples party. This is the
nearest estimate that can be made
before the votes are counted.
General Gordon used the words
"Confederate soldiers" seventeen
times in his speech in the morning.
The bloody-shirt was the burden Of
his speech. He showed up the dem
ocratc record from '64 to 10 as
''simon pure" and close by saying,
$50 it is to this blessed hour" But
at dinner a Peoples party eye-opener
asked him to tell us Of the latter
days in Congress.
"Oh, we'll, [ can do it, but I didn't
like to keep you all waiting"
But we said, "well wait" And
we did, but he only said Of all the
balance of time, from 20 to 1922
years-the cause of the division in
the Democrats on the silver bill was
that he and Lester and Southern
Democrats and miners wanted the
stamp put on seventy cents Of silver,
and those other fellows wanted it on
one hundred GENTS and he said the
other fellows were right, but Gordon
and Lester voted the other way.
He DENOUNCED Tom Watson and the
little PEoPbE's PARTY PAPER. Then
a ptteous appeal was made to the
colored people to vote with the
Democrats in the State and county
elections, "but do as you please for
president" But it "didn't tHok wuf
a cent"
Hon. Rufus Lester then took the
stand, and there seemed to be very
little interest manifested in his
speech. The colored people were be-
hind an old store in 2 shed, with
banjo, epigTfe3 thams4lges an 3
try r5ssisig n $3.50, and moaa of the
men were talking over business mat
tiers and discussing politics.
Everything passed off quietly.
Our citizens do not fall out be-
cause we differ in opinion.
The Democrats know they are
left, aud they seem to be willing to
accept the situation; and some of
them even gladly. = y x
