BACK or The FORCE BILL.

In a recent issue of the Atlanta Con-
stitution was reproduced notable edi-
torial from the columns of the National
Democrat, in which the true inwardness
of the republican force bill scheme is
clearly and Enthusiastically revealed. The
Constitution says:
In the editorial Editor Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, one of Mr.. Harri-
sons closest friends, and his late minis
ter to Russia, is quoted as end HrSing the
force bill because he hopes to see it de-
moralize southern industry to such an
extent as to rid northern interests of dan
gerOus competition. In fact, Editor
Smith very frankly says that if the dem
ocrats had never regained control of the
south, northern capital would not have
embarked in the development of south
ern coal and iron. The competition of
this region is now SO severely felt in
Penns ylvania that the editor of The
Press boldly says: 'The surest and
speediest way to put stop to this COM
petition from men who are our political
enemies, as well as our commercial ri
walls, is to carry through and enforce the
Lodge election law"
This is -blooded and bad enough,
but this iunscrupulouS partisan goes on
to say: ''And if we can once more get
them into the condition they were in be-
tore 1870 we won't hear any more about
cheap iron and cheap cotton goods from
the south. They will have other things
to think about"
1t is evident that Editor Smith has
learned thing or two during his So
iourn in Russia. He picked up some of
the tyrannical methods of that country,
and now coolly proposes to put the south
under the bayonet, smite her industries
and throw her into a condition of an
archy simply as matter of business.

SOLICITOR j. M. GRIGGS.

The first term of Solicitor j. M. Griggs
is now nearing close, and his successor
will be elected by the Legislature on the
31st. inst.
Solicitor GriggS is a candidate for re-
election, and if able and efficient perfor-
nance of duty is reason for continuing
in position a faithful and competent Off
cial he should again be chosen as prose-
cutting attorney for this circuit, and that
unanimously.
The bar of the circuit seem to recOg-
nize the fact that his services nave been
uncommon since they have uni ed i'll
recommendation to the legislature, and
have done this almost unanimously and
without break. THE News has been
privileged to look on papers carrying
these endorsements. More than that. he
is unanimously endorsed by the judge,
clerks and sheriff in the circuit except in
Clay county, the home of his opponent,
and IN fact the petition which he will pre-
sent to the Legislature will embrace the
name of nearly every man surrounding
the courts and all their officers. Those
who know him in his official life praise
him.
1t remains to be seen whether the leg
islature will strike down an officer who
has proven himself so capable and
worthy. 1t remains to be seen, we say,
whether Mr.. Grigg's record in office is to
be a matter of no concern to the mem
bers of the legislature, and whether an
intelligent and faithful discharge of duty
shall not figure in his favor.
THE News assumes that a member of
the legislature cannot escape the duty of
voting for Mr.. Griggs. 1t does seem
that nothing else is left for him to do.
THE last heard from Weaver was in a
recent speech in Iowa, where he had the
frankness to inform his home people
that Georgia had no monopoly in the egg
business He declared that in Kansas
the people had egged Congressman Otis,
and had also egged drummer whose Of
tense was that he looked like Otis.
THE Chattahoochee Valley Exposition

to his children.
Grover Cleveland recognizes the sor-
rowful estate upon which his opponent
has fallen. and like true and sympa-
thetic antagonist he declined to reap the
supposed advantage which would have
been given him by attending the exer-
cises in the absence of the stricken
President. Who will say now that
knightliEess is dead, or deny that
proved embodiment OF it is found IN
Grover Cleveland?
In this broad land there are thousands
of saddened men who have travelled the
the darkened way that stretches out
ahead of the President; and though
they may be his political opponents their

sentiment of the good democratic lead

BETWEEN Cleveland, Harrison and
Weaver, and Russell and Hand, true
Georgians cannot hesitate. The record
is soon to be made. How will you cast
your ballot?
Mr.. A. G.. MOORE, late third party
candidate for representative in Baker
county, has come back, as he says, ''to
the good old democratic party that has
stood the test of generations"
THE third party organ in cambridge
certainly deserves third party support

DEMOCRATS have one more battle to

MRS. LEASE is advising people to vote
for Harrison, as Weaver stands no show

The Railway Commission met yesterday
morning, all members Of the board present
Commissioner Beckman submitted COM
paratiVe table showing the passenger rates
on the railroads of Illinois as compared with
these charged in California. The table
was fled for the information Of the board.
Mr.. Beckman finds that passenger rates are
lower in California than in Illinois. He
also submitted report Of his recent trip TO
Washington as a delegate TO the convention
of Railway Commissioners. A resolution
was adopted making a slight reduction in
the passenger rates on the Oroville branch
of the Southern Pacific.
The routine business being concluded, the
Commissioners made haste 70 adjourn. Inc
reason Of this hasty move was obvious.
Traffic Manager Leeds was present, and
the above action was taken in order TO shut
him off in what he had 10 say, After ad-
jOurnment Rea engaged The traffic man In
conversation, in the course Of which some
very warm words were exchanged.

Mr.. Leeds replied that there was no neces-
sity for such forcible language, when
Litchfeld came to the rescue OF his col
league.
''What do you mean," said Mr.. Leeds.
"When you talk of impeaching the members
OF this commission. You cannot imDeach
honest men, and do you dare to say that We
are dishonest? We have had about enough
Of your abuse, and for one will stand it no
longer. Beckman may take your attacks
good-naturedly, but | confess that | am
very much hurt. If you want TO imDeach

and see where you will land"
Leeds replied that be bad a right to his
own opinion in the matter, and should eX-
press il whenever he chose to do So
you had better be prepared TO back your
opinion then" said Rea.

"Y on are ready to draw your salary"
chimed in Litchfeld, 'fOr defaming honest
men. Every body can see your little game.

A Contest Opened Over the Estate o
william Cuuniff.


william Cuuniff.
John Cunniff Of Oakland has opposed the
petition of Mary Cunniff for letters Oh the
estate Of his son, William Cunnif, and for
grounds denies that she is the widow or
was the wife, and declares his son never
was married 10 her. Thus Judge CUffey
will have another opportunity to construe
the law on marriage.
Cunnif was dealer in livestock, and
upon death, on the 23d ult., left $4,000 IN
bank and some personal property. His
reputed widow applied for letters, which
the father now contests, declaring that he
aud his wife are the only heirs. Mrs. Clara
Foltz appears for the petitioning widow
and says she was called to Cuuniff's bedside
to draw his Will, but found him 50 weak
that she deemed IL advisable not to cause
him too much excitement
He was being nursed BIZ the little woman
who says she is his widow, and Mrs. FOltZ
ascertained they had never been married
because Mrs. COnniff' was a grass widow,
and his religion would not permit Of their
union. She asked him whether Mary was
his wife and he answered that she was,
and at the same time placed his arm around
her neck ana drew her toward his breast.
The alleged widow was dive waitress, but
has convinced her attorney that she was
a good AMI faithful wife and loved her
husband.
