The People's Party in Georgia.


There does not appear to be as much ems
thusiasm for the Peoples party in this
state as there was few weeks ago. 1t
looks as if the bottom had dropped out OF
the Peoples party movement. About
the time that Col. Livingston came
from Washington to have a joint
discussion with Mr.. c. C. Post, the
chairman Of the state committee of the
Peoples party, there was a great deal OF
activity among the leaders Of that
party. They addressed political meet
iugs and sent stirring appeals 10
the people OF nearly every county. The
suballiances in some of the counties were in
state OF unrest. They did not know
whether to indorse the Peoples party or not.
A few did indorse the st. Louis platform,
and a considerable number OF alliancemen
announced that they had cast their fortunes
with that party.
For some reason or other Post, Peek g,
Ellington and others prominent in the Peo-
pies party movement have been silent
recently. They appear to have found out
that the prospect of the Peoples party car
rying Georgia, and thus breaking the back
bone of the solid south, is not quite as prom
Using as they thought It was.
The truth is the farmers have had ex-
planned to them some of the things cons
corning which they were In doubt They
thought the free coinage Of silver would be
of immense benefit and the most of them
now know it would not better their mate
rial condition. and they also believed that
ha - W UractIHahla
and they wanted it, or something better.
Now they are far from sure that that
scheme, or anything like It. would make
them more prosperous.
Post, Peek, Ellington and their lieuten-
ants have failed to create a favorable i'm
preston. They have made no converts re-
Gently, and most Of those who we're inclined
to leave the Democratic party for the new
political faith have about come to the CON-
clusion that the wiser thing for them to
do is TO stick to the Democratic party. The
soldier plank in the st. Louis platform
started a doubt IN their minds as to whether
the men who are at the head Of the Peo>
ple's party movement are as friendly to
southern interests as they pretended to be.
There are, of course, a good many men
who still hope that the Peoples party will
get strong foothold in the state, and the
number Of them may be sufficiently large
TO send delegates to the Omaha convention.
but the hope of an uprising all over the
state in behalf of the Peoples party has
about disappeared. It is doubtful IL any
body would now predict that the Peoples
party will carry a single county in Noyem-

Not an gxtrayagaut Bill.

The New York papers had virtually
nothing to say about the appropriations
which congress is making until the river
and harbor bill was taken up, and then
they began a most alarming outcry against
extravagant use Of the public money
These papers know nothing about the river
and barber bill They haven't studied
it and are not. therefore, In position to tell
their readers whether or not its different
items are based upon che demands of COM
MERGE.
All they care to know is that the bill is In
the interest Of sections of the country other
than New York. That fact is sufficient to
arouse their opposition to it. In their view
river and hsrbor improvements that do not
benefit New York are not needed, and
money spent for them is wasted.
1t is strange that they have had nothing
to say about the hundreds of millions of
dollars appropriated for objects other than
the rivers and harhors. The river aud
barber bill carries only about $21 900, 600
That is a very small amount in comparison
with the amount appropriated for pensions.
Why do not the New York papers oppose
the granting Of any more pensions' The
reason is that a very large percentage of the
money distributed in pensions is spent in
New York city. The amount of money
that is appropriated annually for pensions
is more than seven times as great as that
for rivers and harbors.
And the section of the country that gets
the most Of the river and harbor appropria
ton has to pay very large share Of the tax
needed to provide the $3.50, 900. 900 that goes
to pensioners Unless the south's rivers and
harbors are improved SO that her commerce
can grow she will have very little money to
help the country to bear tho constantly in
creasing pension burden.
The New York papers pretend that in
opposing the river and harbor bill they are
influenced by the very best OF motives.
The only apparent motive, however, is to
prevent the waterways and harbors from
being 80 improved that they will draw bus
mess away from New York.
The purpose Of the New York papers in
attacking the river and harbor bill year
after year is SO clear that it is not TO be
wondered at that congress pays very little
attention to their attacks. The bill is the
most popular Of all the bills appropriating
money because its benefits reach directly
and Indirectly nearly all classes of the peo-
pie, and. besides, it distributes money in
! localities not reached by money distributed
| by other appropriation bills. No doubt II
contains appropriations for improvements
that are not absolutely necessary
| but the amount of such appro.
| prlations is not large. II thC
New York papers will turn their atten tior
to other appropriation bills they will fine
much more to condemn than in the rivel
and harbor bill But it is hardly probable
they viii do that. as their object is not Sc
much to prevent extravaganza expenditure
as to check the improvements that are no
for the benefit of New York.

in chains, to restrain him from gratifying
his homicidal mania. When Hamilton was

pugilists struck the other blow on the nose
that brought the blood. The sight OF 1t.

wild. Drawing knife he plunged it into

blood as IL flowed from the wound. Before
he could be arrested he killed a second man
and sucked his blood. Ever since he hos

Congressman Blount Congratulated.

W
Congratulation is due Representative Blount
OF Georgia upon notable victory for true
democratic principles achieved by him the
other day. The House committee on foreign
affairs reported favorably the diplomatic bill in
which was an appropriation of $4,000 to de-
fray the cost of surveys for an intercontinental
railway. Mr. Blount had fought this appropri-
alton single handed in the committee. but it was
incorporated in the report despite his protest.
and. despite the customary sneers from Reed and
the republicans, carried his point. The appro-
priation was struck out and the principle es-
tsblished that the building Of a railway into
Central America may be left TO private enter
prise. 1t is TO be regretted that so many demo-
cratic members of the foreign affairs commit
tee should have given their support to an
approximation so clearly in violation of the fun
damentals OF democracy, The United States
went into the railroad business once and the
balance on the wrong side Of the ledger is

In pursuit of feathered game,
And betimes he CHANGED to see

Eros. chuckling at the blunder,
Gayly scampered here and there.

Went the fowler in dismay,
And confided his disaster
With that curious bird that day;

Heard of him? Aha, most truly"
Quoth the master with smile;
And thou. too, shall know him duly.
Thou art young, but blde awhile;
And old Eros will not fly
From thy presence by and by.
For when thou art somewhat older
That same Eros thou didst see,
More familiar grown and holder,

Mark my word, he comes to stay"

And the flute of dear old Pan.
And the Tyre that Hermes plays.

Coolly plotted to undo me
With his songs of tender Joy;
And my pedantry o'erthrown,
Eager was to employ

Counting all things else for naught,
Love and always love again.
