MIR. Kemp and Others.

Comparatively little 10 heard from the
congressional candidates OF the Peoples
party in the southern part OF this state.
They don't appear to be making much Of an
impression even upon their own party. In
this district Mr.. Kemp is heard Of once in &
while. He was at Hinesville the other day
and addressed meeting. Col. Lester wai
also there and wanted to discuss political
issues with him. Mr.. Kemp was not in
favor OF joint discussion. It Is 10 be
presumed that he is not very well informed
with respect to public questions He has
read. doubtless, some Of the literature sent
out by Mscune and others from Washing
ton, and it Is probable that he retails as
much Of that to his audiences as he can
remember.
Mr.. Kemp is a very good sort Of a man,
but is he qualified to represent the First dis
trict In congressl What sort Of q record
would he make there in comparison with
the record that Col. Lester has made:
Wouldn't it be the hight Of folly to send
him to congress in place Of Col. Lesserf
This whole district, this entire state In

ested in the improvement Of Savannah mar
Dor. 1t Is important that the improvement
shall be completed at an early day as pos

money appropriated. II 81 100000 year

six feet of water in three years, but II only
$500, 900 year is appropriated IL VIII De
six years before Savannah will have a
26-foot channel TO the sea. Which Is the
| more likely TO get large appropriation,
| Col. Lester or Mr. Kempi The question
carries its own answer.
Col. Lester secured the $4,000, 600 that is
10 be applied to the harbor. That was a
notable achievement, and he is the man
who can get congress to appropriate it as
fast as it can be used to advantage. 1t is
doubtful IL Mr.. Kemp could reach the
sources of influence that control appropris-
tions. 10 Washington he would find it
difficult matter TO get outside OF his OBJ

Gratis, who have or will make their mark in

make the mistake of sending third party
men to congress from this state.

Chairman Taubeneck's ''big sensation, y
which be alleges be would be able TO create

create later, is not likely to be such a sensa-
ton as he imagines. He says "big deal"

deals in states that are not considered
doubtful II has been known for some time
that the republican national committee has
been dickerlng with the Peoples party in
several of the states, and that dollars were
the consideration offered for the Peoples
party's support So notorious have these
things become that the Peoples party has
leen frequently referred to as the ''repub~
ltcan annex" Taubeneck's sensation will
probably be the issuing Of instructions to
the Peoples party to vote with the repub-
licans And that would not be very SUR
prising. tn safe to say. however, that
any such instructions would be largely dis
reRard ed in the south. Southern white
men may wander from the democratic fold,
but they are not apt to wander into the
republican fold.

DiScOuraQinQ.

Sometimes young men are deferred from en-
tering upon matrimony by such incidents as the
following. which is of actual occurrence:
young man passing through a crowd in a
great dry goods store, says the oltth'S Com
Ddnion, found himself side by side with q timid-
looking little ma, aud exactly behind a lady.
A movement of the crowd forced the young
man to step upon the hem of the lsdys skirt.
She turned quickly around, with q furious
look and was evidently about to address some
fierce remark to him, when a change came over
her face suddenly.
20. beg your pardon, SIR" she said. II was
going to get very angry. You see | thought it
was my husband"
The timid little man smiled family; and the
young man said to rnself: "If wives get angry
so much more quickly with their husbands
than they do with other men, what is the use of
being nGsband?'

He Was Not Embarrassed.

Some Of the republican papers said that
II Senator Hill attempted to discuss the
tariff plank OF the demooratio platform in
his Brooklyn speech he would be greatly en-
barrassed. He did discuss it and he was not
in the least embarrassed. He devoted a
large part OF his speech 20 it. The Demo-
cratic party, he said, has always insisted,
and now insists. that there is no warrant in
the constitution for the imposition Of tariff
duties to aid private industries. Rspub-
lican protection does not oonstitutionaily
exist, but "is imposed upon the people by
fraud, false pretenses, evasion and gross
abuse of the taxing power" Senator Hill
declared he had read carefully all the argu-
ments Of the ablest advocates OF protection,
and that he bad been unable to discover
that they presented a single tenable ground
upon which protection, pure and simple, can
ooustitutionally be defended.
But tariff for revenue-the only kind Of
tariff that is constitutional-does not pro-
hibit incidental protection. 1t would be
impossible to impose a tariff that did not
afford some measure Of protection. I'VE
believe" said Senator Hill" in revenue
WIN AhCAuSutdA pIOLeCIlOn anu not IN pro-
lection with incidental revenue.n
The republican papers that have been
trying to make political capital by charg,
ing that the democratic platform commits
the Democratic party to absolute free trade
get very little satisfaction out Of Senator
J Hills speech. They knew, of course, that
in asserting that the Democratic party was
committed to absolute fres trade they we're
not honest, and they thought Senator Hill
might soy something that would give
them the opportunity to declare that he
''straddled" the tariff plank, His frank
and straightforward way of handling the
subject did not afford them the opportunity
they sought. They are now sueculating
about what Mr.. Cleveland will say in his
letter OF acceptance relative to tue tariff.
If they think be will hedge" they will be
as greatly disappointed as they were with
respect to Senator Hil's speech.

A RanId Change Of Opinion.

| According to an Ass )ciated Press report
| Gen. Weaver, at jacksonville on Monday
night, said: lowing to the great revolu-
ton in public sentiment am confident that
in November the Peoples party will have a
majority of the electoral Vote At Way
cross on Tuesday he said, if be was reported
| correctly, that Harrison could not be elected,
and that In mis- opinion the election would
be thrown into the House. According TO
what be said at Waycross he does not think
he will get majority or the electoral votes.
II the election is thrown into the House Mr.
Cleveland, will Of coure, be chosen Presi-
dent.
If Gen. Weaver was quoted. correctly at
both Jacksonville and Waycross his opinion
relative TO his own prospects for being
elected underwent a very great change in a
very short time.
The trouble with Gen. Weaver Is that he
is talking for effect. Not much
weight, therefore. is to be at
tached to what he says with re-
specs to the chances of the Peoples party
for success. The fact that comparatively
few people attend his meetings ought to
convince him that he hasn't a strong hold
upon the people. aud that the Peoples party
is not popular party. He talks about car
ryinE Arkansas. There was an election in
Arkansas a few days ago, and, although
he and Mrs. Lease had been making
campaign speeches throughout the state,
the democratic vote was many thou
sands greater than the vote of the Repub-
lican party and Peoples party
combined. At Jacksonville Gen.
Weaver spoke to very small
audience. and at Waycross he excited nc
enthusiasm and comparatively little atten-
ton was paid to him, Notwithstanding the
fact that his meeting there had been extern
sively advertised. Nowhere has Gen
Weaver been received with any show OF
enthusiasm except in the silver mining
states where there is a strong sentiment in
favor Of the free coinage of silver. These
facts ought to prevent Gen. Weaver from
making the ridiculous statements he is Civ
| ing to the press.
| He pretelds to think that Georgia will
| give the Peoples party a majority. He il
not well informed. The Peoples party will
be beaten anywhere from 10000 to 60, 0OC
| majority. That party will not carry q
single southern state. 1t is doubtful if il
will carry any state. Even the silver states
will refuse to throw away their electoral
votes on Gen. Weaver. Before the
time for voting comes nearly all
the voters of those states will be
! found in the ranks of one or the other
| of the great political parties. Thinking
people all over the country who have not
already made up their minds that the de.
mands of the Peoples party are impractica.
| BILE will do so within the next two weeks
If Gen. Weaver really thinks he is going
to get any considerable number OF electoral
votes he will be greatly disappointed man.

MY Mother,s Wedding atnr.

From the Philadelphia Times
remember when that circlet
Was heavy golden band,
And how chaStely rich it shone upon
Her plump and pretty hand,
AS boy aud man, we c. ten seen
Pure gems, serene and rare.
Clean brightly on the same dear hand,
So tender true and far.
Those jewels, like the fieeting joys
That come, and glow. and 20,
With all Fortunes transient gifts,
And many a weighing woe,
Have gone, as go oil friends and days,
With every hope and care;
But still the pla gold wedding ring
Shines true and faithful there.
Those dear old hands are trembling now
Beneath the weight of years,
And fragile, thin, has grown the band
That links her joys and tears;
But to loving, grateful son
There is no blessed thing,
In all the world so holy as
His mothers wedding ring.

The managers of the jefferson Davis
monument fund have determined upon
raising a very large fund to be expended
for a monument for the confederate chief
tain. A quarter of a million dollars is not
likely to be raised in month, or a year, or
maybe several years. However, the memory
that Is to be perpetuated in stone is worthy
OF any outlay, no matter how large, that
the southern people may make. 1t is to be
hoped that the fund will be raised In a
shorter time than was required to raise the
Grant monument fund and that it will be
attended with no such difficulties as were
experienced In the raising OF the Grant
fund,

The cessation Of the heavy rains Of the
past few days Is particularly gratifying to
rice planters all over the Savannah district.
Thousands upon thousands of bushels Of rice
on the straw is stacked in the fields, the
planters not having had time to put 1t under
cover, and continuance of the rains for
even a few days longer would have done q
vast amount Of damage. 1t is probable. as
it is. that lot Of the rice will be spoiled by
mow-burn and sprouting.
