FOLLOWING THE NEW YORK TRI-
BUNE.

The Constitution makes haste to
quote approvingly a statement OF
that ultra plutocratic sheet the New
Xork Tribune to the effect that there
are only 4,047 milllonaires in the
United States instead of $4,000 as
has been asserted by the reformers
for several years past without dis
pute. 'The Tribune's list" says the
Constitution, ''is nearer the mark
than the third party estimates )" and
assuming the position taken by
Whitelaw Reds paper, the Atlanta
paper continues: "The country is
big enough to stand 4,047 million
aires. A few more would be a real
benefit. x A plutocrat is
curse to the people, but the average
millionaire is not bad fellow"
Then does the Constitution mean
to assert that the possessor of one
million does not belong to the class
which is denominated plutocratic ?
1t is not many months since the
Constitution was full Of warning talk
about the dangers which threaten
the republic because of the concen-
tration of the wealth Of the country
into few hands, and it repeatedly
urged an income tax as means Of
impeding the growth Of great fortunes
and cutting them down.
We would remind the Constitu-
ton, and more especially the alliance
men and reformers in general, that
Whitelaw Reid is the Republican
candidate for vice president; that he
is the chief owner and editor in chief
of the New York Tribune, which is
at this time more than ever, strickly
partisan republican paper and we
would ask, what is it that moves the
Constitution at this juncture to turn
to the leadin republican journal Of
the union for council and support
against the farmers and working men
of Georgia.
Alas, and alas, plutocracy is not
confined to the North and East, nor
are all the plutocratic newspapers
published in that section. The
recent sneering and sarcastic tone of
the Constitution is not being over
looked, nor will the people fail to re-
member it's efforts to blacken and
crush, the peoples party leader OF
the tenth district.
Returning to the statistics Of con-
centrated wealth, we have to say
that the statement that there are 49,
900 millionaires, and that 100000
families own more than half Of the
wealth of the country, is from the pen
of Thomas G. $ " '''"" '+ -

having at heart not the success of
any party, but the welfare of the

statement of Whitelaw Roid's organ
in the midst Of a campaign. where he
and his party are vitality interested,
it is welcome to it's choice. We con-

FRIDAY, AUGUST u, 1892.

Modestly let it be SAID that never
in the history of Georgia has such a
reception been rendered any Con
gresham returning to his home as
was received by Mr.. Watson at
Thomson, Tuesday. This is worthy
Of mention, for it has been repeated
from end to end of the State that Mr..
Watson would be defeated for re
election. Of this feather are all the
boasts of the daily papers of the
State in relation to the Peoples
Party.

EDITOR PEoPLE's PAPER:
In the Gibson Enterprise of July
Is K. J. Hawkins, it's editor, takes
occasion to denounce me in column
of abuse boiled down to it's essence.
This article of the little "Flopper''
seems to complain:
/. That [ am spelling for the
judgeship of the Augusta circuit.
2. That [ said in speech in
Willis county thatthe little ''Flopper"
was rampant Peoples party man
till his ride down the narrow gauge
railroad with Northen, Gordon ct al.
and that he came back a red hot
democrat, and paid a nine months
past-due board bill.
3. That when he, the little
Chopper met me in Atlanta [
took it all back. AS to his first
charge I have never been a candi-
date for the office, and am not now
Sucn canOldaUe. L was requested
to make the race for the office by
Alliancemen, before the Alliance
legislature in 1890, but declined so
to do. The little Chopper" cannot
produce single witness to say that |
ever asked any mans support for
the office of judge Of the superior
court of the Augusta circuit. On
this count in his Indictment he has
lied out of whole cloth.
AS to the second count in his in

there is in Glasscock county:

The Atlanta Constitution tells its
readers that "the confidence and the
campaign fund of the Democrats in
the tenth has shaken Mr.. Watson's
belief in his own strength in his dis
trict." This virtual admission gives
force to the report that large cor
ruption fund has been raised in the
tenth. It is notice that Doodle
is to be the main argument opposed
to Mr.. Watson. 1t is notice to the
voters Of the district that new ele-
ment is to be introduced, which
if successful, will secure elections
hereafter without consulting the
preferences of the people. It is also
notice that the voters of the tenth
are considered as salable, and that
the majority have their price. 1t is
dark hint, and its sinister intent
should be comprehended fully by
every man who believes in fair play
and honest elections.

The Atlanta Constitution evidently
thinks the farmers can still be fooled
with the statement that the Demo
cratic measure proposing to admit
raw wool free of duty while re-
tanning the tariff on yarns and
clothes is for the benefit of the
farmer. This measure was proposed
at the suggestion of the manu-
facturers, and is devised by them to
better enable them to form trust
controlling the price of both wool
and its manufactures.

ditions as to make it possible to en-
joy prosperity unvexed by peon-
age to the capitalists of the East.
For the most part, the speeches
were devoted to instruction how to
win back to the Democracy the long
deceived and outraged people who
have declared themselves indepen-
dent, and may be defined as advice
as to the best manner Of applying
salt to a workingman's tail.
There were perhaps 1900 people
out to hear the big guns of Democra-
cy Tuesday night, the larger part
residents of other towns who had
taken advantage of the cheap rail-
road fares. The every day business
men and workers of Atlanta were In
it to very small degree.
The People now know who is on
the opposition ticket, and they know
that it has the support of the little
political and official rings in the coun-
ties. They know enough to make
duty plain. That is all they want
to know.

In the last few weeks there is a
disposition on the part of the Wall

adjective foun DenAra-
cy. That adjective is ''organized.'

manhood upon the altar of Plutoc-
racy.

The Atlanta Journal had a short
dispatch from Thomson, Tuesday,
estimating the assemblage to meet
Mr.. Watson at 1000. Wednesday it
wiped out 300 of its previous figures.
The contrast with the State rally of
"organized Democracy" was too
great for a tender party stomach.
The truth is, that more than 5000
friends met Mr.. Watson.

Allegheny's Citizens Suggest How TO
Beautify the City-Boulevard System
Advised-Mayor Kennedy's Plan Has
Started tho People Thinking-Congrat-
uIatory Letters Received.
Beautifying the city is the subject upper
most in the public mind at present in
Allegheny and some of the heaviest prop
erty owners there are suggesting desirable
festures to Mayor Kennedy.
The idea of rebuilding the streets By in
creasing the bonded indebtedness, as pro-
posed by Mayor Kennedy, has started this
train of thought Asa result the answers to
the propositions which were sent out few
days ago byAllegheny's chiet official are ac-
companied by suggestions of more or less
value. Nearly half hundred property
owners of Allegheny have sent in comuni-
cations indorsing the plan as outlined In
the circular.
Messrs Boggs & Buhl, the heaviest tax
payers in the city, yesterday sent reply to
the Mayors question. Alter indorsing the
plan. and giving an illustration of the
method of tax increase, they suggest the
purchase of large plat of ground in the
suburbs for park site, and advise the con-
structiou of boulevard to further the
beauty OF the city. Ine Necessity VI Parh
in Allegheny, the gentlemen go on to say,
is unquestioned. The great benefit the city
parks .have already proven to the people of
Allegheny is a source of pride and pleasure.
By the proper expenditure of money an
other park, that would be farther away from
the busy traffic of the city, could be laid
out, and this, with good boulevard system,
would add to Allegheny's reputation for
beauty.
The suggestion meets with the hearty ap-
proval of the Mayor, although he is inclined
to hear from more citizens upon the street
Improvement question before suggesting
anything more.
W. j. Beckfeld most aptly said: 'If we
do not wish to all so far behind our sister
city, Pittsburg, that she will attempt to
take us in as suburb, we had beater take
some immediate action regarding our
streets" Others harp upon the possibility
of big steal by INSCRIPTIONS contracts.
The Mayor desk was fairly Uttered with
these letters yesterday afternoon and the
official plodded through them with a smile,
despite the heat, for every one Of them was
congratulatory.

Sixty odd pattern makers organized last
night as the first Peoples party club in

The meeting was held in Pattern Makers
Hall, Moorehead building, and addresses

severed and allegiance was promised,

These Days.

BRUSSELS, April 25.-The muclrtalked-
of duel between Edward Fox and Hal
lett Alsop Borrrowe took place yester-
day afternoon on the seashore at Nieu-
port Bains, near Ostcnd. William B. Ba.
con, jr., of Boston, acted as second for
Fox, and Harry Vane Milbank as second
for Borrowe.
When the word was given the two
men fired simultaneously, but neither
shot took effect, although the ball from
Fox's pistol passed close to Borrowe's
head. The pistols were then reloaded
and the duclists fired promptly when the
word was given. This time Borrowc' S
bullet pierced his antagonists coat in
the region of the waist, but Fox escaped
unhurt. The seconds, in accordance
with conditions previously made, then
declared the duel ended. No rcconcilia.
tion took place after the contest and the
duelists left the ground without having
spoken word to each other.
The affair is not yet ended. There is
now a row between Fox and Col. Tom
Ochiltrec, the former claiming that Och
iltree advised him to sell the letter
Ochiltree denies that he did so.

SCARED BY ANARCHISTS,
THF: TRIAL, OF RAVACHOI, IN
PARIS.
Possibility That Anarchists May
Throw a Bomb in the Court
ROOm-NO Judge Over Anxious
lO Preside at the Trial

PARIS, April 25.-Much interest is
manifested in the trial of the Anarchist
Ravachol who is charged with having
cause ] the explosion at the residence OF
Judge Benoit, No. 1876 Boulevard, St.
German, and at the house corner Of the
Rue de Clichy and the Rue dc Berlin. The
trial is fixed for tomorrow and the de-
mand fixed for tickets of admission to
the court room has been very active
The desire to hear the proceedings has
been somewhat dampcncd, however, by
the statement that the friends of Rava
chol were plotting to prevent any sen
tencc the court might impose from being
carried out.
1t is not known what course the an.
archsts will pursue, but it is icard some
ot them may gain admissionto to the court
room and throw bomb. Of course it
is hardly probable that such a thing
could happen, but so many dynamit,
outragcs have been pcrpctrated in spit,
OF all the precautions of the poli.c tha'
the public is willing to believe that tn,
anarchists will try any scheme, no mat
ter how desperate, to prevent Ravacho
! from being punished.
1t is certain that none of tn: judges il
at all anxious to preside at the trial, al
the anarchists have threatened vengeance
against tne judge who sentences him.
