Two Views of the Situation

I MD. Irwin, chairman OF the Peoples
party state executive committee OF
| this state and editor Of the
Southern ABjance Farmer, formerly
/ editor Of the Soiid South Of Con
! yers, says in the latest issue OF his paper:
/ There is unrest, uncertainty, proverty,
/ privatiou, suffering, gloom, distress OF
mind, bankruptcy and general financial de-
preston among the laborinG classes Of the
state
R. Dun & CO. say in their trade re.
view for the past week: The demand for
money 10 the west and south continues
smaller than usual. At the south trade is
much encouraged by some advance in the
prices OF cotton, ana Is, therefore. more ects
i've. In general, business is not only Jorge
and remarkably healthy, but tho Quito X
for the coming months is everywhere re
garded With the utmost confidence"
Had conditions in Georgia differed ma
teriaiIy from conditions elsewhere IN the
south Dua's report wou d have made special
mention of the TACT.
Which statement IS the more worthy OF
belief: One is made by a political
acrobat whose purpose Is to arouse the
prejudice of class. He has gathered no
data upon which % base his assertion, but
makes it in an off-baud and reckless man
ner, careless of the conseuue1 noes. Inc
other statement is made by 8 careful and
methO1icai business firm which has agencies
oil over the country and collects every
week large amount Of reliable information
regarding the financial and agricultural
condlti1 Of the country.
Il cannot be denied that "hard times"
have prevailed throughout the south and
vest for some time Nobody pretends TO
deny that fact But Dun's report shows
that conditions are rapidly improving
THE demand for money il the south con-
tinues smaller than usual" which would
not be the case if poverty, privation,
bankruptcy aud suffering" we're so prevalent
as Irwin would have bis readers believe.
The facts are as stated by Dun & Co. Con-
ditions are improving, che outlook is bright
and there is general feeling Of confidence
throughout the south.
And one important factor in this improve
ment and returning feeling of confidence in
commerce and agriculture is the rapid de-
cline Of that political nondescript miscalled
the Peoples party. Business men and
farmers, noting its waning power, no
longer fear the baneful effect it's supremacy
would have on finance and trade, and are
going about moving and marketing crops
and exchanging commodities in business
like manner.

McKinleyism restricts the market of
American producers. fosters trusts and
leads TO a reduction in or the total loss Of The
wages Of American mechanics The per-
mlnent suspension OF the Mann ak factory
at Altoona, Pa, without reason assigned, is
proof OF it. The Mann factory belongs to
the American AK and Tool Company

trust could not exist to reduce the output
in order to put up prices. Maybe the pro-
tectionists will say that the supply was
greater than the demand. In that case 1t is to
bereplied that without the artificial stimulus
of the tariff there would be no excess of ak

deny that the closing of the Mann factory

A cute little trick that is being practiced
in New York state by republican heelers has
come to light. Smart talking and neatly
dressed men are travelling from town to
town, stopping at good hotels and talking
with as many people as will listen TO them.
They pose as Hill democrats, but announce
that they are going to vote for Harrison,
and then 60 into az elaborate and elo-
quent explanation of the why and where

that the democracy is losing and repub-
hcanism gaining many votes on account Of
the reasons advanced, thereby hoping to in
fuencs any weakened democrats who
may @ within earshot.

times a millionaire in her own right, &C
quired considerable newspaper notorlety
recently by contracting what appeared to
be a precipi ate marriage. 1t turns out,
however, as she has been good enough to
explain for the delegation Of newspaper
readers, that her rea ,ons for getting mar
ried quietly and quickly were founded on
hard, common sense. For some time she
had been annoyed almost to distraction by
fortune hunters who wished TO marry her
for ner money. The majorlty Of them were
titled fortune hunters and roues of Europe,
who desired to exchange a name, more or

Peirs in State Elections.

A few days ago Mr.. Blaine upset clever
explanation, put out by Joe Manley pos
sibly, as to why he did not vote in the re-
cent Maine election, by Offering an expIs-
nation of his own. The first version OF the
cause of his failure to vote was that he had
failed to register, thereby causing the party
loss of one ballot. Mr.. Blsine's own state
ment is that he had no time to 90 to the
polls, 80 he "paired" with a democratic
friend. This pair be said, had saved his
vote.
This matter of "pairs" In ballots is prob
ably not thoroughly understood throughout
the country, so that Mr.. Rlaine's explana-
ton left something 60 be desired by persons
not familiar with congressional practices.
In the Senate of the United States, accord
ing to the New York Herald. "the theory
aud practice of pairs is carried to a higher
state Of perfection than anywhere else in
the world" 1t was there. and in the House
of Representatives, that Mr.. Blaine acquired
the pairing habit. In the Senate. when a
senator wishes to go away, he goes to a
brother senator on the other side and ar
ranges with him privately to abstain from
voting on important political questions, and
to publicly announce, should the occasion
arise. that he is "paired" with the gentle
man from So-and-so, and If that gentleman
were present he would vote on such a side
and that he (the senator from So and so
would vote or the other. This keeps th'
record straight. aud does not affect the mail
issue.
Mr. Blaine's application of the system tx
general elections, however, is something
new, aud opens a field for speculation
Will the custom become popular3 There i

sary for each party to spend the day il

Chris Maeee's WORK in Alabama.

Chris Msgees WORK in Alabama.
When Chris Magee. the we'll re-
publican leader Of Pennsylvania, left Biz
mingham, Ala, a few days ago, he thought
he had fixed up an electoral ticket that
would take Alabama out Of the column OF
democratic states. The ticket is composed
OF republicans and Kolbites, each one Of
whom Is pledged to vote against Mr.. Cleve-
land. The convention that named the
ticket was composed of Kolhites aud re-
Dublcans. The Kolbites were mad because
Kolb had been defeated for governor, and
they were ready to indorse any scheme the
willy Magee proposed. Magee, it is said g,
promised the Kolbites all the money they
needed to enable Kolb to contest the cleo
ton OF Gov. Jones. When the convention
adjourned there were predictions that the
Alabama democracy would be defeated IN
November.
But a remarkable change in sentiment
has taken place among the Koluites. Ihey
have had time for a sober second thought
and they now see they were the victims OF
republican trick The consequence IS
they are dropping back into the ranks OF

republican President and helping to pass
force bill They know what force III
would mean in Alabama, aud they are not
ready for black rule.
The reports from Alabama are to the
effect that the democracy will have an old
time majority. Even the negroes cannot
be induced to regard Magees hybrid
electoral ticket with favor. They have an
idea that a large amount OF money is to be
sent into the state by the republican ma
tional committee. and that the white men
who are opposing the democrats are going
to get it all. Naturally, they are dissatis-
fed. They will vote the Magee ticket if
they are paid to do so, not otherwise.
Magee's Alabama mission will hardly bear
much fruit for the Republican party.
