SUICIDE CLUB.

That an occasional poor wretch
should find life S burdens more than he
can bear is not so remarkable, but when
in any community there can be found
enough persons of unsound mind and
dead to love of life, to organize a society
for the encouragement of suicide, then
the thing becomes interesting. Such So
cieties are becoming rather common
Even Georgi city boasts one such,
which, with blood curdling oaths, binds
its members to die by their own hands.
What on earth these poor creatures
want to kill themselves for is not clear.
The community is willing for them to
live, and if the community can stand it
they certainly ought. 1t may be that
realizing how utterly worthless they are,
and not being wholly lost to all sense of
duty to the public, they have decided to
rid the community of their presence.
But W lile they are at this they should
remember the burial expenses, and to
save this should wait for some high wa
ter in the river and then, with a hun
dred pound weight to each heel, quietly
take their departure, and leave their
room tor more sensible people who have
better understanding of life and its re-
sponsibilities.
What fun person can get out of his
own funeral we confess we are unable
TO see. It's much nicer to be pall-bear-
er, and if these would-be heroes would
sit down and think over the advantages
of acting in this latter capacity, the num-
Der of sui ides would grow less, even if
the lunatic ASYLUM had to be enlarged.

tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken

The third party platform says, Gown

roads, transportation, etc., etc." On top
of this comes Illinois and instructs he1
delegates to Omaha to urge that the

ed to urge that the government should
not only furnish school buildings and
teachers, but provide the school children
with books, food and clothing. The
next thing, says the Montezuma Rec
ord they will demand the government
to take possession of the farms, store
mills and shops and furnish the people

government to furnish nurses for the

visit their neighbors, fragrant havanas,
choice wines and champagnes for the

THE REPU5LI CAN WAY or DOING IT.

The traffic in the votes If the South
ern delegates at Minneapolis is said by
the ne wspaper correspondents to have
been disgraceful. Before the adjourn
ment the Philadelphia Record published
the following editorial comment on the
occurrence
1t must be rather CALLING to the pride
of heightened Republicans to recognize
that the nomination of candidate for
the Presidency at Minneapolis is now
hanging on the purchased votes of color
ed delegations from Alabama, Arkansas,
Mississippi and Louisiana. Republican
orators and organs are loud in their de-
nunciations of the insolent political rule
of Southern Democrats, and in order to
restrain this domination, as they call it,
they are again proposing the passage of
Force Bill by Congress. But if all
that has been charged against the South
ern Democrats has been as true as it is
false, it would by no means have been
as deplorable as what is now to be wit
messed at Minneapolis in the threatened
control of the Republican nomination for
the Presidency by a horde of ignorant
and purchasable delegates from the
South. 1t is the uniform testimony of
impartial correspondents on the spot
that never before in the Republican Ma
ton Convention has the traffic in these
votes been so open and scandalous. Yet
it has been proposed to put not only the
South, but the whole county under the
control of this political element through
the agency OF a Force Bill.

WE notice that correspondent of the
Worth County Local, who is strong
advocate of pure Democracy, takes the
position that, to say the least of it, the
mass meeting held in that county at
which delegates to all the conventions
were elected, was conservative and in
telligent body of men. The mere fact that
Colonel Bill Harris was elected chairman
of that meeting, and also chairman of
the county executive committee, should
settle the fact in all unprecedented minds
that the meeting was Democratic. Colo
mel Harris is regarded at home and
abroad as standard of pare Democracy.
He has served for thirty years as secre-
tary of the Georgia Senate, and will,
without question, be reelected. We
notice that the people from all parts of
the State speak of him in the most COM
plimentary terms.

average percentage Of increase Of per
capita wealth for the decade ending in
1890 was 100 per cent more than that Of
New England or the central west.
We are drawing capital and we are
making capital.
Ten years ago we had 220 national
banks; now we have 800.
The percentage of the increase of our
foreign exports is about five times the
combined gain at the other parts of the
country.
A few days ago we showed by reliable
statistics that we nave fewer failures,
with smaller liabilities, in the south than
in other sections. We showed too that
in development and p oduction our prog
ress had been phenomenal, and that
the growth of our diversified manufac-
lures made total during the past five
years of over 1900 new industries.
Now, take this fact-since 1888 our
assessed property has increased $780,
100000 in value, according to the reports
for 1890!
When a section can accomplish SO
much in twenty-seven years-starting
with only battlefelds and ruins for as
sets-the outlook ought to be bright.
1t is bright, and growing brighter. L
we make the fight on the right line we
can smash the republican party this yen
and, even if we fail, it will take a bigger
man than Benjamin Harrison to block
our onward march. Look at it as you
will, the rising south is now in posi-
ton to hold her own and seize her share
of fortunes gifts.
