AMENDING THE PLATFORM.

The Peoples party OF Georgia re-
pudiate that plank in the platform
of their party which provides thai
union soldiers shall receive the dit
ference between the deprecated
greenbacks in which they were paid
and gold. At Calhoun the Peoples
party of Gordon county repudiated
that plank of their platform. They
were appalled, at the prospect of the
public debt being increased a billion
Of dollars or more, part of which
the south would have to pay, with
out receiving any benefit from it
worth mentioning.
But do not these Gordon county
members OF the Peoples party know
that the reputation of the objec-
tionable plank amounts to nothing ?
If they accept the platform at all
they must accep. the whole of it. 1t
will not be changed simply because
they object to a part Of it. 1t was
made for the north-not for the
south, but the south is expected to
furnish the main part of the support
for it. The Objectionable plank was
putin the platform to catch the sol
der vote of the north, and the Peo-
pies party is pledged to sustain it.
Even if the Peoples party of the
state OF Georgia, with Senator Ell
lington at its head, should protest
against that plank it would still re-
main part of the platform.
But haye Georgians who are sup
porting the Peoples party given the
platform of that party careful con
sideration +? If they have not, they
should do so without unnecessary
delay. They might find other things
in it to which they cannot conscien-
tiousiy subscribe. For instance,
what do they think of the leaving
out of it all mention Of tariff reform?
Do they not know that this means
that the Peoples party is virtual
Endorsement of the republican doc
trine of protection? AS matter of
fact the platform was made by men
who were in hearty accord with the
Republican party, and who are yet
at heart. Are those
southern men, who have always been
democrats, ready to surrender their
life long political convictions at the
bidding of a lot of political adven-
turers who have lett the Republican
party because they were not permit
ted to control that party.

The Augusta Evening News re,
lates this domestic incident: Last
Thursday was the twenty>ffth an
niversary of an Augusta couples
marriage. On that morning the
husband, upon awakening, asked his
wife how they should celebrate their
silver wedding. The wife did not
suggest any particular observance of
the day. The husband then said.
shall we remarry or separate ?''
The wife said it was immaterial to
her either way, and what suited him
would satisfy her. He then said he
would just as leave part as not.
The wife acquiesced, and she pack
ed up her trappings and left the
house, and they have remained apart
ever since, and neither has sought
the other or proposed reunion or any
other sort of celebration.

WHEN THEY ARE Dearest.

It is not when your children are
with you, it is not when you see
and hear them, that they are most
to you; it is when the sad assemblage
is gone it is when the daisies have
resumed their growing again in the
place where the little form was laid:
it is when you have carried your
children out and said farewell. and
come home again, and day and night
are full of sweet memories: it is
when summer and winter are full OF
touches and suggestions of them: it
is when you cannot look up toward
heaven without thinking of yourself
and not think Of them; it is when
they have gone out of your arms.
and are living to you only by the
power of imagination, that they are
most to you. The Invisible children
are the realest children-the chill
dren that touch our hearts as no
hands of flesh ever could touch them.

WASHINGTON CITY,

Senator Sherman surprised a great
many people when he stated that
the committee on Foreign Relations
and after a close examination become
convinced that the present Chinese
exclusion laws would not expire I'M
till 1894, as it had generally been
accepted that the laws expired on
the 18th, Of next month. This con-
clusion of that committee resulted in
postponing indefinitely the debate
on the new Chinese exclusion bill,
which had been on the programme for
this week and several silver speeches
have been made, including rather

tative Hopkins, Of Illinois, providing
that the committee should first iifsd;
out whether the charges were true
by investigating for itself. When the
average Democrat goes in search of
party capital he leaves reason and
justice behind him.
The Senate proved that it can
transact business in a hurry when
there is occasion for it to do so. by
ratifying the new modus vivendi
with Great Britain after a debate of
only two hours.
Senator Chandler has introduced
a bill appropriating $4,000 for the
purchase of the marble bust of Gen.
Grant made by Franklin Simmons,
the celebrated American sculptor.
1t is fortunate for the welfare of
the people of this country that the
Republican Senate stands between
them and the desire of the Demo-
cratic House to cripple the various
branches of the Government SER
vice by cutting down the appropria-
tions below the amount necessary
for their efficient maintenance. A
striking instance of this disposition
on the part Of the democrats is the
Post Office appropriating bill, which
before being passed by the House
was reduced 100000 below the
estimates of Postmaster-G General
Wanamaker. Now if there was no
Republican Senate to see that
enough money was appropriated this
reduction would prevent the extern
sion in the direction of the postal
service during the next financial year,
as well as the establishment of the
proposed postoffice on the grounds
of the Worlds Fair. The republi-
cans know that the intelligent people
of this country want good postal
facilities, and they also know that
they can only be had by appropria-
ting the money to pay for them.
Opinions differ as to whether the
announced intended retirement of
Senator German from the democratic
national committee is made for the
the purpose of leaving him free to
fight for the democratic nomination
or other reasons.
Senator Morrill, who has been sick
for some time, this week resumes
his Senatorial duties.

Twenty Years After.

On the anniversary of the 10th
milestone of their welded life, DR..
p. NJ. Bartlett and his estimable
wife received the congratulations Of
about twenty invited guests at their
beautiful home, "Hcarts.ease," on
the night of the 18th of April.
1t was rare sight As the Dr., in
the full strength of his vigorous
manhood, entered the parlor, lead
ing by the hand his.lovely wife and
taking their station in the. centre Of
the room repeated the beautiful Ger.
emony, by which they had plighted
their troth twenty years before and
pledged anew the vows they had
taken. Hearty and fervent were
The congratulations shOwered on
the happy couple. They were also
the recipients of many handsome
presents.
! Felicitous remarks were made by
DIR. Boardman. Rev. F. E. Moore, 10.
Burger and w. T. :Parham. DR..
Bartlett was particularly happy in
his response. He has the faculty
of saying the right thing in the right
place, in the social circle or the pull
pit. The remarks of the gentlemen
mentioned above, were all very
good, and it would be invidiOus to
make distinctions, but the words of
Mr.. W. II. Parham deserve more
than a passing notice. He utterly
astounded the assembled guests, by
his flights of eloquence. Onr jolly
friend did himself proud and but
for a timely interruption might
have continued on indefinitely.
Love was his theme, and he touch
ed it with master hand.
On entering the dining room, with
its handsomely decorated table,
loaded with all the dainties for
which the fair hostess is so famous,
the guests seated themselves, and
did full justice to the feast of good
things spread before them.
Rare and lovely flowers dotted
the board, while numerous, richly
colored wax candles shed brilliant
radiance over all. The writer new
er sat down to a more beautiful ia.

After leaving the dining room
Mrs. Bartlett charmingly rendered
some beautiful music, performed as
only she can perform. One never
seems to tire of her playing. 1t is
enc continuous strain of enchant.
ing sounds.
AS time for leave-taking came
one by one bid goodnight to the
genial DIR. and his lovely lady, and
expressions were heartfelt that an.
other twenty years may roll on in
their welded life, as free from cares
and sadness as those left behind.

umhiqritsps question. Indeed this
istse esfts d:+a late Conference
Of one of our Christian churches.
Is such a statement paradox?
A Prohibitionist, according to the
present common acceptance OF the
term, is one who believes in, and,
favors the prohibition of the liquor
traffic by proper legal enactment,
and the reasons assigned for their
advocacy Of such policy, by chris
tians and mOralists, are, that the
liz or traffic sends 10000 persons to
drunkards' graves every year, that
its influence in demoralizing and
debauching the living millions is
far greater than that of any other
evil agency; and that the per cent.
of increase in its destructionof hu-
man life, and its demoralizing ef.
fects upon society is alarmingly on
the increase, hence, the public wei.
fare demanding it, they favor the
suppression of the traffic.
But, these are the same reasons
why the Party Pr0hibitionists form
and combine to VOTE for the pr0hi-
bition of the traffic. Yes, they say,
but we are opposed to mixing up
Church and State affairs, and hence
are not party prohibitionists.
Will these good people allow one,
who knows by experience, to sug-
gest that perhaps, on account of a
strong party bias, they are making
an improper use of this time hon
ored dogma to deceive themselves
and others. Americans have al
ways regarded the objection of mix.
ing affairs of Church and State as
properly directed agalnt an "Estab.
lished Church," and never agar st a
proposition to place the policy of the
government in harmony with NOR
al and Christian principles. On the
other hand, the boosted harmony of
the policy and institutions of our
government with the teachings and
principles of Christianity have been
regarded especially by all Christians
as the only surety for the stability
and perpetuity of government since
our fathers founded it in prayer, up.
on the principles.
But admitting, for arguments
sake, that the dogma of keeping
separate the affairs of Church and
State in which these good people
apply it and understand it is the
correct policy, is not their position
still paradoxical? and are they moi
taken in their own net?
Refusing to become party Prohi.
bitionists, they, by the same act, be-
come or remain either party Re.
publicans or party Democrats.
Did not the Conference which de.
clared that eve are Prohibition

same act, that it was a Democratic
party church? For candor compel:
