The Chinese system of government
lacks entirely the progressive and uni
flying element of popular election. The
people have no voice in the choice OF
their rulers, and the rulers consider the
people as so many sheep to be fleeced
The officials are paid staryingly low
salaries, and many offices are openly
bought, Corruption and eytortiou may
therefore be said to be almost sane.

Of insurrection and the power Of guilds.

Return of Cent After Nine Years


Nine years ago Ed Gloss, an Auburn
confectioner, was working in an Auburn
shoe factory.
One day, just for curiosity, he took
cent from his pocket and cut the letters
"Goss" on it, and not long after used it
toward paying little bill which he
owed around the corner.
The other day some one came into his
store, and in the change handed him for
a pound of candy chips was the cent
with his name upon it, which had come
again into his possession after all these
years.
Who can tell through how many
hands the lettered cent passed in its nine
years circulation.-Aub (Mass.) Ga

THE OMAHA NOMINEES.

The Peoples Party through their
convention at Omaha have nominated
James B. Weaver, of Iowa. for Pres
ident of the United States, and James
G. Field of Virginia, as Vice Presi7
dent.
The platform contains the follow
ing plank:
We demand the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and gold at the
present legal ratio of 16 to l.
There are other planks In the plat>
form relating to banking, railroads,
government ownership of telegraph
lines and land holdings, but the sill
yer plank is just as the people of
Nevada would like to see it.
1t is just the sort of plank that
the Minneapoli and Chicago Con-
vention should have adopted, but
did not.
If silver bill is not passed during
the present session, and have the
signature of Harrison attached to it,
the State of Nevada will cast its
three electoral votes for Weaver and
Field.
While Weaver was in Congress,
he was for gold and silver as money
and never lost an opportunity of de-
nouncing the Infamous anti-silyer
legislation of rs.
He also insisted that the soldiers
should be paid in the same money as
the bond holders, as he held that the
man who risked his life for his coun-
try was as good as the man who risk
ed his money.

HARDY VETERANS.

Looking at the parade last Monday
one could not help being struck with
the bearing of the Veterans.
One is apt to associate the word
with men of grey locks and bent fig
ures, who are in the sunset of de-
Ginning years; charge on their
country or their relations.
But the Veterans who marched in
the parade seemed men of different
mould. They were in the prime of
life, walking with head erect and
step elastic. Some had the bearing
of athletes, and it was hard to realize
that these men had faced and almost
tasted death in a war that ended a
quarter of century ago.
Even those whose hair had been
bleached by hardship and exposure,
'Trod the ling, like buck in Spring,
And stood like lance at rest.
There are various reasons for this.
In the first place, toward the close of
the war, boys of sixteen with good
physical development, were accepted
for military service, and they would
not be much over 40 years of age
today.
Then most of the young men of
the war, after being mustered out,
sought the West. They were young
soldiers, full of animal spirits, ginger
and adventure. and the West offered
inducements to them not to be found
in the staid old States Of their child
hood
The old men drifted back home to
end their days in peace, and those of
younger, warmer blood followed the
sun.
This is why so many veterans, Z
are found on this Coast who are still
in the prime Of manhood, and phys
ically capable Of going through an
other war.
1t is also a fact that men who have
slept in the open air for years, eaten
hard fare and become Injured to the
life of camp and field, get hardened
and healthy, and if they have the
constitution to bear them through
the ordeal, carry the weight Of years
as lightly as an empty knapsack.

DECREASED ACREAGE.
The Convention at New Orleans Now
at Work

MEMPHIS, Jan. a-That the cotton
farmers Of the south are terribly In earnest
in their endeavor to solve the serious
problem Of over~producIion Of the heecy
staple was eyIaced by the enthusiastic
meeting Of the delegates to the convention
Of the Mississippi Valley Cotton Growers
Association, which was called 10 order In
the Young Mems Hebrew hall this morning
by Ira q. Holloway, president Of the sssO-
citation. About 600 dele Estes from the cot
ton-grOwing states OF Tennessee, Arkansas.
Mississippi, Alabama and North Carolina
were present. Prominent among the other
spectators were Gov. James Z. Eagle Of
Arkansas, J. V. Buchanan of Tennessee
and john NJ. Allen Of Mississippi.
The COMMITTEES on organization and order
OF business reported in favor Of making the
temporary organization permanent, with
Ira u. Holloway OF Mississippi chairman.
The committee also recommended that the
debate be confined 10 reduction Of the acre
age Of cotton and diversification Of crops
for home consumption; also that
the convention should be known
as the convention of the cotton growers Of
the south. The report was adopted.
COMMISSIONER GOoDwIR's PAPER.
Col J. r. Goodwin, commissioner Of
agriculture for the state Of Tennessee, read
carefully prepared paper. It was then
shown that in former years the surplus at
the end OF the season ranged from 900 In
the hands OF the producer 60 236 900 bales
in 1890 and 1891. Taking lesson from
these figures the paper showed the enormous
sums spent for food crops which could as
we'll be raised at home. 1t claimed,
incredible as it NAV appear, that many
were so wedded 10 the cotton industry as
to buy everything consumed but water and
air, and suggested 20 per cent as the reduo-
tion in acreage. Col. GOodwin's paper was
received with applause, and Col. Hector d.
Lane followed with a powerful argument
on the same lines.
Col. Stone OF Mississippi moved that all
papers be referred to the committee on
resolutions, TO be incorporated in a memo.
rial to the people. This was adopted.
A paper from the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange was read and referred TO the pro-
per committee.
Gov. Eagle was called on and Arkansas
governor made e strong talk, forcibly i'm
pressing upon the convention the necessity
of reduction in acreage and the need for
immediate action.

sYLVANIA's ELECTION.
b N. Williamson Defeats Henry a
McCsn for Mayor.

B. II. Williamson Defeats Henry q
McCsn for Mayor.
SYLvANIA, GA, Jan. S.-A very exciting
election was held In Sylvsnia yesterday.
1t was the day for selecting the municipal
officers for the new year, and from the
early morning the political atmosphere was
charged with intense excitement. The
ticket which had been discussed for the last
few days was headed by the name Of Henry
N. Mccall for mayor, gentleman who has
taken an active interest in the affairs of the
town for the last several years and was re-
equity appointed to the position Of health
officer.
10 was not known that there would be
any opposition to this ticket until late
Wednesday night. when the widest political
rumors began to spread. Early Thursday
morning men were rushing up and down
the streets bhtton-holing voters aud carry
ing them TO the pools It was soon dis
covered that an opposition ticket was in the
field, and from that time until the polls
closed at night such exciting scenes were
never witnessed In our little village before
Men on horseback rode at lightning speed
into the suburbs to gather up the voters
for their side. Sick men were braced up
and borne to the ballot-box to deposit
their votes. Wild cheers rent the air as
to be upon one side or the other The man
ayers were kept busy trying TO keep the
voters at bay and make them come to the
polls in a regular line, while the hungry
clerks wrote with cramped and wearied
fingers and longed for the last voter to
come.
But the widest scenes were reserved for
the afternoon when the counting COM
menced. Mr.. Mccall was borne into the
court house upon the shoulders of his admir-
ing constituents, and in q short address said
IN stirring accents that whether elected or
defeated he wanted them all TO combine
and work together hermOniously for the
good of Sylvania. He was for Sylvania, he
said, first, last and all the time.
For a while the two tickets ran
neck and neck together, but when the
last snowy ballot was counted it was found
that the Mccall ticket was berten by two
votes, and b. Nj. Williamson, prominent
and highly respected citizen was elected.
The following ticket was chosen for coun-
cilmen P. A. Mock, w. F. Britt, }. Il,
Huu, T. E. Smith and Henry A. Waters.

The street was blockaded and for q while
the scene was one Of pande-
monium. Failing by persuasion

procured as expeditiously as possible, but

NO CONFERENCE YET.
The strikers have not he'd an interview
with any of the officers of the lines involved
and seem not to care to try and effect
peaceable settlement Of the difficulty. It Is
doubtful If the railway company would
listen 70 "a suggestion looking toward a
compromise They say they have
applications for the situations by the hun
dred but as yet their men have not shown
up for work. The federation Of trades and
all union organized labor may take up the
cause Of the strikers. In that event there
would be some 5000 men involved. The
talk tonight is to this effect.
