TIE BATTLE or THE METALS.

Gold and silver will fight the great =
est battle in all of their coinage ex-
istence when the extra session Of con-
gress settles down to work, and only the
optimistic silver men gather much conf
dence out Of the conditions as they now
appear. That the Sherman law will be
entirely repealed is not likely, although
some strong efforts will be made to
bring that to pass.
It is hoped that congress will not per

There is little fun in a game with tile
champion who can plump the middle
man out nine times out Of ten, but there
is fun in chasing of taws about the yard,
in the isnominy OF becoming fat OF the
disaster Of being shot dead. In the
country it is school boys and youngsters

yard VINO enjoy games OF marbles.
In town the merchants and county of
ficials play marbles FIR hours on long

NJ. Thompson, the editor of the Peo-
ple's Journal, at Jacksonville, Fla, has
written to his paper of his visit to Wash
ington. Thompson is an applicant for a
consulship or minister to some country
not generally favored by white seekers,
and is strongly endorsed by leading citi-
zens of Florida and Georgia. In his let
ter he tells of his calls at the various de-
partments and on the president, and of
the conslderate manner in which he and
other representatives of his race are
treated by the democratic administration.
The following is an extract from his cor
respondence;
But of ali the cabinet officers who are

Young man who has never held Office be-
fore but who is gifted with great bust

This reason alone he has been somewhat
slow in making appointments. He said
recently that so far as the negro is con-
cerned he had already endeavored to
show many where their best interests lie,
and has been instrumental in wiping out
much of the color question ID Georgia

ment each present epublican employe

ways ready to welcome his colored
friends with a smile and some words OF
encouragement

Departments of the government, our re-
porter was gladly convinced that there
never were a better set Of gentlemen over
government matters before.

Robbing Peter to Paw Paul.

From the Cuthbert Liberal.
The Georgia railroad commission has
advanced freight rates on ali the rail
roads from Is to p percent This means,
of course, further cut into the limited
resources of Georgia farmers. No body
seems TO think that the rail roads might
economic. Farmers, merchants, and
all other classes have been forced to cut
down expenses. Laborers, clerks, book
keepels-all nave had to submit to a re-
ddction of wages. Bat the big officials
and little officials, conductors, engineers,
firemen, agents, trackmen, and other
rail road employees and bosses draw the
same salaries they drew a year and two
years ago. To pay these salaries al the
other classes are taxed extra by the
commission, this tax to come out of
their decreased earnings. We DO not
object to railroad employees beia- we'll
paid for their work, but other classes of
laborers ale as much entitled to good
wages as railroad laborers.
IN times of great depression, such as
we are now passing through, no one
class should be favored at the expense of
other classes. All should be made to
Gear the burden equally.

How Shall 1t Be Done?
From the Rome Tribune.


Judge w. NJ Reese, of Wilkes, in a
communication to the Washington
Gazette, advocates a return to the meth
cd of appointing judges and solicitors
general by the governor There is no
doubt that recent developments have put
the people to thinking seriously on this
line.
The time is coming when change will
be made. Whether the responsibility
snail be put upor the governor, or shall
be remanded to the people remains to be
seen, but a change from the present sys-
tenn is only question of time. For sew
eral sessions Of the legislature tho COM
binations have forced their candidates on
the people, very often fastening on a
circuit man not wa tied by the bar or
the people.
these log rolling methods in the legis
lature have not added to the dignity Of
the bench, and learning has sometimes
been forced to give place to audacity.

In California the prevailing stringency
in the money market has reached the far
mer, for in that state the growers of
wheat and fruit have been accustomed
to rely in harvest time upon advances
from the banks. These advances are
withheld this year even from the owners
of the large ranches, and in parts Of the
San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys
grain that shout be cut is standing and
will be lost for lack of the money requir-
ed for the payment of harvesters. The
fruit growers are said to be in worse
condition, because there is DO market.
The large canning factories are idle for
want of the advances usually made to
them at this seas on by the banks.
