What Is the Third Party ooinsq


The Peoples party in this state is not
very active at present. and there are no signs
that it viii be very active in the future.
The few meetings Its members are holding
are not very enthusiastic. and the attend
ance is not encouragingly large
The truth is that when the Peoples party
leaders failed to get control of the alliance
they became discouraged. They know they
cannot make much Of a show without the
alliance, and the alliance is not going into
the Peoples party.
When the Peoples party began to organ
ize great maay alhancemen regarded it
with favor. They did not understand its
platform, and were led to believe that it
would assist them in improving their ma
tertal condition. They have since given the
platform some attention, and the most of
them are thoroughly satisfied that it con-
talns nothing that is particularly commend
able from their point Of view.
And they have given some attention to
the men who are at the head of the Peoples
party. They are surprised to find no one
who commands their confidence. They have
heard some of the stump speakers of that
parry huu lucy are uOb pleaS6Q. several
of these speakers have delivered addresses in
South Georgia, The Impression they made
was not favorable. They expected to find
men who were not informed with respect to
public questions aud who could be easily in
fiuenced by demagogic arguments. They
were disappointed. They discovered that
the farmers were intelligent and we'll
posted with regard to the issues of the day.
Naturally they aroused very little enthu-
siasm and met with very poor success
The Peoples party is losing what little
foothold it had in Georgia. Unless its lead
ers can get a boom for it by some means
they have not yet tried it will not make
much of a showing in the election. 1t
would not be regretted if it should peter
out entirely.
There is talk, of course. of making nomi-
nations for all the offices, from constable to
governor. 1t is easy enough to make nomi-
nations, but it is not so easy to elect the
nominees.

"Dearie's" Innocent Prattle

An exceedingly pretty and graceful young
woman and little girl of perhaps years of
age boarded fremont street electric car yes
terday afternoon, says the Boston Herald, and
the car being nearly empty, walked up to the
forward end and took seat where the young
miss could watch the motorman twist and I'M
twist the brake and turn and off the electric
current. She watched him with the deepest in
terest for a long time, and when the car started
without the aid of horses or any visible signs of
power she became deeply perplexed, Mamma, ~
she said, what makes this car go?n "This is
an electric, dearie. Electricity makes it go -
Mamma" said the little miss after a long
silence, I'VE learn more n more every day
don't WEI" Yes, dearie.' mamma answered,
with faraway look in her eyes "Did you
pass that bad quarter on the conductor?' dearie
queried after that individual had just gone by,
collecting the fares. Every person in the car
heard her and tried not to smile. Papa said if
the conductor wouldn't take it you could pass it
in the contribution box next Sunday. Could
you do that, mammal Mamma signaled the
conductor just then. AS they were getting off
dearle was telling mamma that those three red
haired women were awfully homely, and when
the car started off again the red haired women
blushed even redder than their hair, and a
strange, undefnable constraint pervaded the
car until the last red-haired woman had got off
which was some where near the end of the

If. in the near future. Savannah is not
city inhabited by acrobats solely, 1t will
not be the fault of several agencies that
may be seen in operation on the streets any
day. The man or the woman who would
live here must be quick of sight, nimble of
limb and prepared to turn a back somer-
sault in the twinkling of an eye to get out of
the way of something that would take of an
arm. fracture a skull or break leg. Elec-
trio cars rush through parks and across the
principal streets at a dangerous rate OF
speed, careless bicycle riders dash along the
asphalt pavement and around corners with
the utmost unconcern for the safety of other
peoples legs; rocks and brickbats fly hurt
ling through the air from the hand of the
mischievous small boy, and the deadly
banana skin lies in wait on the sidewalk on
the alert to humble the pedestrian who
would walk with his eyes elsewhere than on
the next spot he would step upon. Alto
gether people who walk have hard time
of it to get about and preserve whole bones,
aud il things do not speedily get better it
may be necessary to petition city council to
build elevated sidewalks, say about the
hight of 5ssory building.

The action of U. s. Grant Post, G. A. R.,
of Brooklyn, in inviting Col Charles Mar
shall, an ex-confederate army officer, to de-
liver an Grafton at the tomb of Gen. Grant
during the Memorial day exercises, is to be
commended. 1t was graceful act, illus
trating the spirit Of brotherhood that now
exists among men who, by force of circum-
stances, were once enemies. And Col.
Marshall's acceptance was a graceful act.
If the practice of inviting union veterans to
speak at confederate memorial exercises,
and confederate veterans to speak at union
memorial exercises were made general,
much of the bitterness brought over from
the past would be speedily wiped out.

A "Conspicuously High" Boy.

H. G. Du Val encountered a very polite
railroad conductor while travelling in France
last year, says the New York sun, but he
thought there was a tinge of sarcasm in the
Frenchman's polite tones. Mr. Du Walls 10
year-old son was with him. and, inasmuch as
the rules Of the road on which he was travelling
provided that children under 10 years OF age
should be carried for half far, Mr.. Du Val
bought half fare ticket for his boy He was
not quite sure whether the boy was a little over
or a little under 10 years of age, but he knew
that there was not much difference either way
Master Du Val. however, is very tall for his age
-"conspcuously high for boy of TO-" as his
father puts it. When the French conductor
took up the tickets he glanced at the lad and
with a puzzled look, turned to Mr.. Du Val
Under 10'" queried the conductor with marked
DO iteneSs. Mr.. Du Val nodded affirmatively
Without betraying any sign of incredulity the
Frenchmrn took another good look at the boy
ami remarked deferentially to Mr.. Du Val:
