Candidates for the Legislature.

l
The selection Of candidates for the legis-
lature is the most important thing the dem
ocratio voters Of this county will have to do
tomorrow. 1t 10 not a matter of so much
consequence who are chosen as delegates to
the state, congressional ana senatorial con-
ventions, so long as the delegates are good
democrats, because it is pretty well under
stood whom the different conventions will
nominate, but it is of the highest impor-
lance that candidates for the legislature
who are capable aud in every respect wor
thy shall be selected.
The MORNING NEWS has already pointed
out that Chatham county, being one Of the
leading counties in wealth and population,
should be represented In the legislature by
men who are able not only to take care Of
her interests, but also TO see that only such
laws are enacted as will tend TO advance
the prosperity Of the whole state. 1t is in
the power OF the legislature to greatly re-
tard, as it is to promote. the states
progress. General laws that are made
to suit particular locality or a class are al
ways obstructive. They alarm capital and
check immigration. The threatening atti-
tude OF the last legislature toward railroads
has already done the state so immense
amount Of damage without benehtlng any
body.
On the other hand wise and liberal legis-
lation inspires confidence and encourages
the establishment Of enterprises and the de-
velopment of the states resources. People
who have money to invest or to loan regard
.gAk. o.. 49, L..
terest is dealt with fairly, justly and hber-
ally.
No other county is more deeply interested
than this in having legislature composed
Of men Of intelligence, good Judgment and
good business qualifications. Savannahs
commercial Importance is growing rapidly
and will grow still more rapidly as the
work on her 26-foot channel to the sea
progresses, and she is profoundly concerned
not only with respect to the legislation that
relates to her own immediate affairs, but
also TO that which has bearing upon
the general welfare of the state. Bearing
this in mind, her citizens at the primary to-
morrow should make every effort to choose
as candidate for the legislature men who
are fully capable Of caring for her interests
There has been a little talk of independ-
ent candidates for the legislature, and this
talk may become more aggressive if the
candidates selected at the primary do not
meet with general approval. Those, how
ever. who are talking Of independent can
didates ought to make their influence felt
In the primary. To do nothing but
find fault with those who
are active in the primary is not the way to
get the right kind of men for legislators.
If all OF those who are interested in Sa-
vannsh, and feel the responsibility which
rests upon them as citizens, will do their
whole duty at the primary, fearlessly and
with the determination to have the county
oreditably represented in the legislature,
there will be no room for independent can
didates.

A Travelling Court.

Down at Stonington, Conn, an enterprislng
Justice of the peace has had himself appointed
also "dog officer" which In Connecticut legal
terminology means the officer whose duty it is
to collect the dog tax. says the Buffalo Courier
The penalty for failing to pay the tax is 81 fine
or thirty days in jail, or both. The Stonlngtou
officer has adopted peculiar method to facil-
itate Justice. Every morning q carriage starts
out; it is the court room GA wheels. There are
in It the grand juror. the constable aud the dog
Officer and justice of the peace. A call is made
upon one of the unforJunates. He is sum
moned to appear at the carriage the writ is
served and the case is tried. Result, the de-
PENDANT is fined 81 and costs, amounting to
about SIS. OF this amount the grand juror re-
ceives So. the constable 81 and the dog officer
g. In addition to this each man collects 10
cents per mile for travelling expenses If the
defendant makes vigorous protest, he is bound
over to q future session OF the court; but the
result is invariably the same.

More violence at Homestead.

| The shooting Of Mr.. Frick, the manager
Of the Carnegie Steel Association, an &C
count Of which is contained in our dis
patches this morning. is another phase OF
the violence that has marked the differences
between the association and its workmen.
| The attempt to assassinate Mr.. Frick will
not help the cause OF the workmen. 1t
will make the association more determined
not TO employ organized labor, and it will
| have the effect Of creating strong public
sentiment against the striking workmen.
! While it does not appear that the strikers
are responsible for the shooting Of Mr..
Frick, it will be charged to their account,
whether justly or not, and it will strengthen
the authorities 10 their purpose to prosecute
those Of the strikers who attacked the
Pinkerton men or who may be charged with
any other crime in connection with the
Homestead troubles.
The American people are disposed to SYM
pathize with workmen in their struggles
with capitalists, but they do not counte-
nance violence Of any kind. Juries will
convict striking workmen who resort to Vio-
lence to force capitalists to comply with
the anarchists in Chicago who endeavored
to terrorize the authorities with dynamite.
The law must be upheld at all hazards.
II capitalists Cypress workmen they must
be restrained by law and workmen in try
ing TO force compliance with their demands
must not overstep the bounds Of the law.
Without respect for the law organized So
ciety would be impossible and civilization
would be turned backward IL is as much
to the interest of workmen as to capitalists
that violence should be prevented and the
law respected, because without law the vast
and varied enterprises upon which work
men depend for a living would cease to
exist.
The conflict betwe the Homestead
workmen aud the Pinkerton men was d1-
plorsble and the shooting OF Mr.. Frick Is
deplorable. That Mr.. Frick is foe Of or
gained labor may be true, and it may be
true that he has no sympathy with the
toiling thousands who have helped TO make
him and others of the Carnegie association
millionaireS, but IL 1t is true that he is hard
and grasping taskmaster that Is no excuse
for violence.
4nere Is as YET no lnulcatlon OF what the
outcome Of the Homestead troubles will be.
1t Is pretty certain that the state troops will
remain at Homestead until a settlement is
reached. 1t is not improbable that the
strike will gradually extend its limits until
many more thousands will he out of en-
ployment and many great industries
crippled or paralyzed. 1t is TO be hoped.
however, that suoh will not be the case,
not only because it will have q depressing
effect upon business, but. especially because
1t will bring suffering into the homes OF
Thousands Of the poor. But it looks as If
the strike would be a great and long one.
The Carnegie association will make no
compromise with organized labor, and or
ganized workmen are determined to retain
their organizations.

A young man who suffers from the embar-
raising affection Of stammering entered one Of
the modest beaneries Of Park Row the other
evening TO get a lunch, says the New York Re-
cOrder. Ne chose the place, not 30 much be-
cause Of its attractions, nor because it
handy, but rather because he disiked to 90

were no vacant tables. and he was obliged to
sit down to one already occupied by another
young man.

why Cholera is Spreading.

Cholera is spreading in Russia because
there is almost a total lack of sanitary regu-
lations in the towns, and because cholera in
fected fugitives are carrying the dreaded
disease into districts where it does not ex-
ist The railroads are the means by which
it is being spread People from cholera in
fected towns are permitted to go where
they please.
Russian paper describes the scene at
railroad station in one of the cholera in
fected districts as follows: 1.-THE Baku rails
road station is filed with a tumultuous
crowd of fugitives. When the doors are
opened the crowd rushes to the platform
and overcrowds the trains Many sit on
the floor rather than be left behind. The
stencil Of the atmosphere is suffocae-
ing Prudent passengers sprinkle their own
and their neighbors' clothes with carbolio
acid. A doctor looks at the tongues and
feels the pulse Of the passengers Every
body protests that he or she is in perfect
health. The train then starts. Often,
within few minutes, a passenger is taken
i'll with cholera. The inmates Of the pa
TENTS compartments at once become panic
stricken. The patient is removed, and the
place where he sat is sprinked with car
bolic acid. and the passengers Immediately
refill their places. A similar scene occurs
frequently. At each station the same per-
tunctory examination is made"

hat They Want.

It is clear now what the Peoples party
wants. Il doesn't care rap for any plank
Of its platform except that one which
calls for the issue of paper money by the
government aud the loaning of it to the
people at the rate Of per cent. per annnm.
In other words. the basis on which the
Peoples party rests is the greenback doc
trine which Gen. Weaver championed a
few years ago, and which was so emphati-
cally repudiated by the people.
The MORNING NEWS has all along said
that the Peoples party was not
particularly interested In the free
coinage of silver. That party knows
very well that free silver coinage would
not increase the volume of currency more
rapidly than it is being increased under the
existing law requiring the government to
purchase a certain amount OF silver each
month. Those papers. therefore, that are
demanding free silver coinage with the
hope Of satisfying those who are looking
toward the Peoples party are accomplish
ing nothing. They may think they are at
tracing the attention Of the whole world.
II they do they are getting some satisfaction
out of their work, but it is certain they are
not interesting those who are inclined toward
the third party.
The Peoples party doesn't want state
banks. 1t wouldn't be satisfied if a state
bank were established at every crossing of
the roads in every county. Its nominee
for governor In this state has given his
opinion Of the state banks, and it is safe TO
say that it is the opinion Of every other
Peoples party leader.
Neither is the Peoples party particularly
interested in the tariff aud the force bill.
None Of these things appeal strongly to
1t. More money, and money at a very
low rate of interest, are the sum and sub
stance Of IT'S demands, and as the cam
paign progresses this will become more and
more apparent.
The fiat money craze was knocked out
once and it will be knocked out again. 1t
is not approved by the common sense OF
the people. The government cannot create
wealth. 1t caunot make the people rich by
simply setting its printing presses going.
The more the people think about this the
more clearly they will see it is so. and the
more emphatically will they sit upon the
Peoples party in November

Knsore Knew What They wantec

Congressman Kilgore according 20 Kate
Fields Wdshinaton, recently obtained leave to
address the House and was granted an hour by
the speaker pro tenn. The officers attention
was diverted from the Texan at the outset, how
ever, and at first the usual hum Of conversation
and the hustle OF private business that one hears
during most speeches were distinctly audible.
But the presiding officer was soon impressed by
remarkable silence and. on gancing sharply
at the gentleman who had the floor, discovered
the latter "sa wing the air with his arms and
performing all the gestures in the most com
plete oratorical text book, while the House
looked on with amusement His lips opened
and shut as il yards of Congressional Recprd
copy were issuing from between them. Mr..
Kilgore was extremely animated, but it didn't
amount to much, for not sound was heard.
What is the matter, Mr., Kilgorc, demanded
the speaker. 4 told the gentleman from Texas
be could rave an hour TO address the House on
this measure Il know it, Mr.. Speaker smiled
Kilgore, but thought the House would prefer
a pantomime speech and it wouldn't disturb
their conve sation.' The speaker had to impair
his dignity with smile; but evidently KiIgore
knew best what the House appreciated, for
when the vote was taken there was not a single
dissent"

No Knowing How a Boy WIN rura Out.

Ex-Gov. Crittenden and Senator George G.
Vest were sitting in front Of the Midland hotel
Sunday night talking over the old days at Cen
ter College, Danville. KY, from which institu-
ton both OF them were graduated, says the
Kansas City Times. They spoke of the many
young men who had gone forth from the uni

them in politics.

said the governor, land had a talk with old
Prof. Beatty. l asked him who was the most

said. One Of these was remark bic in his
school life. 1 thought him marvel and ex-

in the land. The other was very ordinary
boy in school and did not look for much from
him. The latter boy was John O. Breckinridge,
