frands in Georg,a.

National Waterman: The vote OF
Georgia in the recent election, if all
other evidence was wanting, would con-
wet the democracy of that state of tie
grossest frauds. IN 1881 the aggregate
vote of the state was las. 291-democrat-
ic, 1877; republican, 4S,604. In 1855
the vote was 40 ,S95--demOcratic, 100,-
430; republican, 40,446. The returns for
1892 places the vote OF the state at go
509-Cieyeland, rs, $50. Harfison. a.
$40; Weaver. II, 74l; Bidwell, $50. This
shows net gain of SO, GA in the voting
strength of that state since 1885, or an
increase of "a per cent. The entire vote
of the southern states for 1883 amount
Ell to 3.296,000. If all these states haze
increased their voting strength on the
same ratio as Georgia the vote of that
section has increased 2.l09,440 in four
years. Ii each voter represents five peo-
pie, which is the adopted rule, the
southern states have increased in popu-
iation l0, 547 200 during this same period.
To show the fraud nore plainly let it be
remembered that the poplatIon of the
United States, according to the census
of 1886, was 50.la5,7TS, The census of
1890 disclosed population of a2,0 400
In round numbers, or gain of l2,O00,-
GOO in ten years for the whole country.
But the returns from the south based
on the vote of Georgia show that this
section alone has gained over 10000 ,0GO
in the past four ysars, The evidence is
too plain for contradiction.

Ponrlists and Prohibition.

Topeka. Dec 1.-The State Tenn
perance Union last night adopted res
olutiOn In favor of state agents for the
sale of Intoxicating liquors. The reso-
luton was introduced by j. r. DetwIler,
chairman of the Populist central COM
mittee for the Fourth congressional
district, and is long step towards the
Populist idea of government control of
the liquor traffic. John A. Murray,
who introduced the present prohibitory
law, will frame bill to be presented to
the next legislature Incorporating the
state agency feature.
The fundamental idea in the bill is
the basis of the Peoples party doctrine
and the indications point clearly to its
adoption. The resolution framed by
Detwiler shows the PopuIist drift. 1t
reads:
Resolved. That It is the idea and intent of
the prohibitory law to cut off all profits in the
sale OF liquors and only to provide places for
the convenience of the people in obtaining
liquors under the excepted conditions named
in the law. Therefore we earnestly request
the coming Legislature orthe state to amend
the prohibitory law as to put tie sale of liquor
for the excepted purpose in the hands of
agents Of the state, who shall have no financial
profit from the sale, be they many or few.
The resolution was opposed by James
\. Troutman. The Rev. y. S. Embree
and Bernard Kelly, but the Popuists
carried the day and it was adopted by
vote Of - to 80 and committee con-
sisting Of Amanda NJ. Way, j. r. Det-
wiler, John y. Murray, L. o. Pickering
and Richard Wake was appointed to
draft a bill Incorporating the desired
feature.

The bloody" duel which has been
so anXiously expected for some days
between the two French duelists, NJ.
Clemenceau and NJ. Deroulede, in
which both gentlemen expressed their
earnest desire to drink pint or so of
the others gore, and nothing short of
that would satisfy their wounded
honor, has come off at last. If they
were very dry for blood they still re-
main so, as not a drop did either OF
them draw from his opponent in 3
rounds. The most serious thing con-
nected with the affair was Deroulede
fainting when the last shot was fired.

THE SWISS REPUBLIC,
Owns and Controls its Own Telephone
Lines.


The Swiss telephone system is con-
sidered the cheapest and best in Eu-
rope and is owned and managed by the
general government. 1t is under the
immediate control of the Department
of POSTS and Tolegraphs. The first tele-
phone in use there was at Zurich in 1880.
AT this time DR.. Ryf president of pri-
vate company, commencing under diff
culties with IA telephones. Now, IN
der government ownership of the tele-
phone system for six years, Zurich has
$500 telephones. The cost of operat
ing the telephone system by the govern
ment in 1888 was S195,95S. The earn
ings were 81 ,70l above expenses. Tele-
grams are received by the telephone Of
flee and delivered to the telegraph at
two cents each. AS many of the tele-
graph and telephone Offices are combine
ed, and as many OF the telegraph oper-
ators are also telephonists, the advan-
tages and the economy are very great.
The employees are better trained than
in private companies because their po-
sitiQpa are secured TO them, and there
is consequent natural pride in having
their service good. Government espon-
sibility, too. assures prompt action;and
it is universally acknowledged in
switzerland the management by the
state has resulted in economy ami per-
feet service.

Worlds Fair Notes,

Tue American flag now floats from
the Administration building at Jackson
Park to signify that the Worlds Fair
buildings and grounds are in the pos
session of the United States govern
ment. President Morton accepted
them on behalf of the government on
Dedication day, but actual possession
was not taken until Director General
Davis, the chief government Worlds
Fair official, moved into his offices in
the Administration building. The
raising of the stars and stripes signaled
that event.
All of the Worlds Fair Offices, except
two or three, are now removed to Jack
son Park, and those will soon follow.
For nearly two years the offices have
been in the Hand-McAally building in
the center of the city. Now, however
the work of preparation of the great
Fair has reached stage requiring it
to be carried on in the buildings which
are to contain the exhibits. All of
these buildings are now practically
finished and ready for the installation
of exhibits. Most of the work remain
ing TO be done on the buildings is of a
decorative nature and can be carried
on and completed without interfering
with the placing of exhibits,

that they are not as much hurt as
alarmist advocates Of McEin!eyism

In Pennsylvania the Carnegie works

ing the situation:

The international monetary con-
ference is acknowledged failure before
it opens. Gladotone's administration
is opposed to 5imetailism and will not
agree to any international coinage ratio.
THIS will send Mr.. Iarrison's subter-
fuge ON silver coinage in the soup.
1t will ever be thus while the United
States talters in its course on money
before the money kings of Europe and
defers to their wishes. Their wish is
gold for money and nothing else
This means very high priced money
and low priced labor.
1t means an enormous increase of
the burden on debtors and a cor
responding enrichment of the creditor
class.
1t means depression and low prices.
1t means the wide-spreading of
extreme poverty and the greater con-
centratiOn of wealth.
1t means plutocracy instead of a
Democracy.
1t means monopoly and injustice
instead of equality and right,
1t means every evil of bad govern
ment instead of the blessings of good
government.
With the international conference
scheme to shield their gold basis IN the
United States failure, what is Mr..
Harrison going to DO next? 1t must be
remembered that the Republican plan,
as foreshadowed by Senator Sherman,
and the Democratic plan, too. is to re-
peal the present Sherman silver coinage
act of 1860. This will carry the nation
back to the Infamous act of 1873,

about month later his father-in-law,

Immigration Not An Unmixed Evil.

While readily admitting that in point
OF numbers we are receiving much
more immigration than we need, yet
we cannot close our eyes to the fact
that it is extremely difficult, if not i'm
possible, to devise plan of restriction,
the practical execution of which would
not in large measure exclude the de-
sirabIe immigration together with the
undesirable. The enactment of such
plans into laws would inevitably re-
suit in conspiracy of very important
and powerful interests to eyade them.
For the san reason the enactment of
such laws will turn out to be politically
impracticable. The probability is that
we shall have to make the best of the
law as it stands, excluding paupers.
idiots. criminals, and SO on, perhaps to
strengthen it by judicial amendments,
keeping in view the limits of existing
possibilities, and to employ every
means afforded by our political and
social institutions to lead the OBJ
StreperOus foreign elements upon the
pain OF good citizenship. This task
will, especially as regards the second
generation, appear far less hopeless
than it now seems if taken in hand.
In the mean time we should deprecate
the extravagant notion at present en-
tertained by many well-meaning people
that all the ills of our political and
social condition are owing to the influx
of ignorant and deprayed persons from
abroad. Those who take this ground
wholly misconceiye the origin and
nature OF many existing evils. and will
be apt to overlook necessities or reform
and improvement which lie in an entire
ly different direction.-From Harper's
