A POPULIST SCHEME.
As Usual 1t Calls For billions
From The People

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Since the close of
the silver convention, Mr.. George L.
Washburn, OF Boston, Mass, G. airman
of the eastern division, national commit
tee, peoples party, and other prominent
populists of the west have been i'll daily
consultation with leading government
officials, bankers, capitalists and railroad
men of the west devising gigantic rail-
scheme of government ownership which
road they think will afford financial relief
to the country and make at once nissue
of two OF the pet planks of their plat
form.
The plan proposed is, that the nation
al government shall issue bonds tor all
legal and Just indebtedness being gov
erned by the same tenure and contract
which now exist. The amount is esti-
mated to be about two-thirds of the
value of the railroads, and an issuance
of legal tender treasury notes, or silver
certificates for the remaining one-t third.
1t is claimed that this issuance of treas
ury notes would afford immediate fuan-
cial relief and inaugurate a period of
prosperity unparalleled in the history of
the world.

For some time a revival has bccen GO

ligious feeling was at its height, some
unknown persons bombarded the church
with stones, breaking the window pancs
and coming near injuring the worshipers.
The meeting stopped abruptly and the
people sailed out on the warpath deter,

but the latter had shown clean pairs o

Mr.. Jones from Mr.. w. M. Adams
that his business was in such shape

was practiced in Goshen district of
Ebert county last January-how de-
termined we are, I say, that they
shall be driven out, by and through
the education of the common people,
and their places filed by men who
have nobler ambitions, men who are
prompted by purer motives than
that of trying to deceive and mis-
lead an honest people.
Oh, little did the big-whiskered
Governor think that far down the
crowded aisles of that crowded hall
sat one whose ''face has been tanned
too soon and whose hands have been
hardened too soon," who did not
care to swallow his hash just as he
had served 1t.
Yes, Billy, there are too many
such societies in our community as
the HTom Watson Liberal Club" and
the "Fork Creek Commoner" for
you to attempt to mislead man
from the rural districts.
God pity the Governor who does
not know what we call paternalism.
If Billy will attend some of our
societies in Goshen district, some of
our twelve-year- old school boys will
tell him what kind of paternalism
we howl about. They will tell him
that after he and his father, together
with his mother and his sister, the
highest, the grandest, the noblest,
the purest type of womanhood that
the world has ever known, that after
they toll from Christmas to Christ
mas and their almost every earning
turned over by law to class of PEG
pie "whose only claim to distinction
is that they have inherited legacy
of luxury and lien on laziness," and
when he asks for a law to protect
him from this greedy grasp of
money-gods, they tell him it is I'M
constitutional. The school boy says
that this is paternalism. But through
your long whiskers it may look like
patrlOtlsm. Goa speed the Day Wnen
our people will be sufficiently edu-
Gated to see that If plutocracy seated
upon European thrones continues to
dictate the policy of American gov
eminent at Washington, that the
common people, Americas pride,
will be wiped out and only two
classes left-paupers and million
aires, both dangerous to a republican
government, both foreign TO repub-
lican government-and when the
day comes that all the people are as
earnestly seeking after the truth as
whiskered Billy will have to stop his
tours or change his tune.

Maryland" Mr.. Randall, of Balti
more, is to have a good position as
soon as the United States Senate
meets.-N6lo York Press.
James r. Randall, though native
of Maryland, was an editor in Au.
gusta, Ga, in 1861, when he COM
posed the well-known rebel war
song, some verses of which are as
follows:
The despots heel is on thy shore,
Maryland
His touch is at thy temple door,
Maryland,
Avenge the patriotic gore
That tlecked the streets of Baltimore,
And be the battle queen of yOre,
Maryland. my Maryland!
Dear mother, burst the tyrant's chain,
Maryland
Virginia should not call in vain,
Maryland
She meets her sisters on the plain,
sic semper - It's the proud refrain
That battles minions back amain,
Maryland
Arise in majesty again,
Maryland, my Maryland!
l hear the distant thunder hum,

Maryland
She is not dead, nor deaf, nor dumb:
Huzza she spurns the Northern scum
She breathes! She barns She'll come f!
She'll come
Maryland, my Maryland!
That was pretty lurid, even for the
redhot times of 1861. And now to
think that the author of these heroic
lines has taken back all that he said
about "gore," 'the tyrant" aud
"minlons" and is willing to accept a
comfortable office and emoluments
from "the Northern scumw How
he must have cooled dOwnl

ELECTED SURE.

The following conversation be-
tween a Populist and South Caro-
lima Democrat was overheard on the
streets of Atlanta the other day:
Populist-You don't believe Judge
Black really beat Colonel Watson,
do you?
S. G. DEM certainly do. A
lot of us South Carolina Democrats
went over to Augusta the day of cleo
ton for that very business, and we
elected him sure.\
AS the Populist walked off by
stander remarked:
"You ought not to have said that.
He will go off and repeat what you
have said"
II can't help it, replied the Caro-
linlan. cit is all true. We did go
over into Georgia to vote for Black,
and we did vote for him and elected
him."
We understand the Carolinian is
now employed as a teacher, and he
will doubtless train the youthful
Georgians in the methods of con-
Quoting a fair election--and voting
their man in.

Shot to Death.

PIEDRAs NEGRAs, Mexico, May 29'
"A few days ago Don Luis Cara
vanges, Of the Bank of Durango,
started to visit a ranch owned by
him 400 miles from Durango. 1t was
in the possession Of squatters, and
Caravanges had often attempted to
make them pay rent. His trip was
for the purpose of enforcing pay
ment. The squatters learned of
this and decided on the death Of
Don Luis, drawing lots as to who
should commit the murder. -Four
men were selected, and they am
pushed and assassinated Caravanges
and his servant.
When word of the crime reached
Durango the governor telegraphed to
the captain of the Rangers at Ia
pona, and he proceeded with Oody
of picked men to the scene OF the
tragedy. There he learned the par
ticulars of the plot and the names of
the conspirators. They were arrested
without difficulty. Sixteen of the
twenty-five have been summarily
shot to death. The others, who con-
fessed, may be spared.

Echoes from the Eighth.

Your correspondent heard Gov.
Northen's address to the people Of
Ebert county at Elberton, May 20,
and, oh, how his heart did 60 out in
sympathy for "those little sons and
daughters whose faces were tanned
too soon by the summer sun, and
whose hands were hardened too soon
by constant contact with the pillow
or the hoes" how he did lament the
fact that Georgia is retrograding
intellectually" how he did score the
parents for "howling paternalism
when they are taxed to educate the
children of Georgia p "Oh," said
he, "God pity the man, who will
allow his child to grow up in illit-
eracyw "Oh," said he, chow it
should stir your dull and sluggard
wills when you realize that you hold
in your hands the destiny of an i'm
mortality" He said that the pa
rents are to blame wholly for this
state of illiteracy.
But [ beg leave to tell the Gov
ernor that the parents are not to
blame, in the light in which he
wished it to appear that they were.
1t is not their close fstedness that is
to blame. If to blame at all, it is by
putting Cleveland Democrats in
otfice-men bent on perpetuating our
internal monetary system-a system
which, like so many little streams, is
draining Georgia and all the pro-
ducing nation of It's wealth and run
ming it into the Golfers of the idle
and aff1uent.
Oh, how our "dull and sluggard
wills have been aroused" and how
determined we are that our children
shall enjoy a common school educa-
ton! How determined we are that
man who pity father as well as son,
and both more than they do the
gold-bug Of Wall street, shall be in
trusted with the destiny of this ma
ton. How determined we are that
the men who have rode into the
holy sanctuary of our government
on Democratic side-saddle, men who
profess Christianity and practice
deVII-anity, men who ignore the voice
of the people, men who treat Justice
with a profound contempt, men who
hug to their hearts such injustice as

THE DEAD CHIEFTAIN,

The respectful and general partlci-
patton of the people Of Atlanta in the
ceremonies attendant on the recep-
ton of the remains of ex-President
Jefferson Davis, shows just appre-
cation of the trials and services of
the dead chieftain. The procession
to the Capitol was through streets
lined with people, and the remains
lying in state were viewed by a very
large proportion of the people. The
attentions to Miss Winnie Davis
would have been an ovation had the
circumstances permitted.

A BOGUS ARISTOCRAT.

Sidney Lascelles, alias Lord Beres-
ford, is now a lumber checker in the
convict camp of the Gress Lum-
Der Company, Cramer, Ga. He
found that on coming to this coun-
try that live lords were a fad rich
Americans were wont to indulge at
any expense. So he improvised
himself into title, and thus secured
unlimited credit. This credit he
abused, and now enters the service
of convict lessee of the State of
Georgia. 1t is predicted that if he
behaves himself he will fare about as
we'll as lumber checkers usually do

HE u J1o ERFE'
1t is Rapidly Reaching Its Lowest
Point.

~WAsHINGToN, May 29.-To-day
the Treasury Department was mott
fed that 100000 in gold had been
withdrawn at New York for expor-
tation. After business hours dis
patch was also received stating that
about 81, 100000 more Of gold would
be demanded by the middle of the
week. These figures do not, of
course, show yet on the Treasury
books, but an unofficial estimate
based on them places the gold re-
serve at $91, 764,000. AS the Treas
ury is receiving no offers of gold it
is, therefore, very probable that the
next official statement, which will be
issued on the 1st proximo, will show
the gold reserve at the lowest figure
to which it has declined since the
resumption of the special payments.
Since January 1, $60,000,000 in
gold has been exported to Europe.
Most of this gold was taken from
the United States Treasury and
practically all that is now being ex-
ported comes from the same source.
In that time the Treasury Depart
ment has sustained net loss of
$25, 354,243, the net total gold in
the Treasury on January l, 1898,
having been $121, 266,662, while to-
day it is only 1876, 912,419. The gold
holdings within the five months Of
this year have at times fuctuated,
but since the first of May the gold
has been nearly always below the
limit of the reserve Of $100,000,000.

CAPT. BILL sTARNEs.

CAPT. BILL sTARNEs.
Among the thousands of Atlantese
who have journeyed to Washington
City since Cleveland came in is Capt.
Bill Starncs.
When he got back he was chock
full of talk. He hardly hit the
grit in Atlanta when his mouth began
to go like a runaway mule, Of
course the Atlanta Journal caught it
all. 1t is there for the purpose.
Here's the way Starnes talks
"Oh, caught on to thing or two
while was in Washington. | am
one man that didn't 60 there to get
office. | was on private business. |
nosed around a good deal and got on
the inside of a few things"
Observe the modest candor of
this kind of talk. It's refreshing,
He confesses to nosing around, and
he elegantly claims that he got on
the inside of few things.
How many things got on the in
side of Starnes, we must be content
with guessing.
He says: 81 visited all the de-
partments of Government. met
politicians from all parts of the
Union. And let me tell you right
now, Hoke Smith is the greatest
man in the Cabinet. On all sides
you can hear people talking about
him, etc. The people of Georgia
ought to feel proud, etc. I actually
felt proud when [ told people was
from the same State" as the great
and only Hoke.
1t will be noticed that the pro-
noun 81" plays big part in Starnes'
talk, but he is willing to concede for
the sake of argument) that Smith is
the biggest man Of the two.
1t must have been a touching
sight to have seen Starnes meander-
ing around Washington (after hav-
ing gotten on the outside of few
things), stopping people on the streets
and in hotel Hobbies to announce:
"Gentlemen, you may not believe
it; perhaps | don't look the part;
but I am from the same State as
Hoke Smith and Possumphat."
Captain Starnes continued his talk
by saying that he had made every
careful look into the situation" and
that Renfroe would get the Mar
shalship.
The situation must have been I'M
usually dark on the inside at the time
Starnes took his every careful look"
because Renfroe did not get it.
A red-headed rooster named Dun
ap got it. Says he is going to keep
it, too! These red-headed men are
terrors when you get 'em started.
If Starnes is as far off the track
about the alleged excitement prevail
ing in Washington over Smiths
greatness as he was about Renfroe
and the Marshalship, he had better
stay in Atlanta and get on the out
side of a few broken doses Of salts.
He needs cooling down.

THE CRAZY QUILT,
Here's pleasant paragraph from
one of the Democratic papers:

Here's pleasant paragraph from
one of the Democratic papers:
Senator Stanford had a pleasant
call at the White House a few days
ago. He had not previously met
Mr.. Cleveland, and called to pay his
respects. The President recognized
him at once, and said some comph-
mentary thing to him about the Stan
ford University and the Senator's
Identification with the development
of the Pacific coast
SWELL" said the Senator, as he &C
knowledged the Presidents compG-
ments, 81 simply called to pay my
respects, and not to ask any office"
"That may be-" replied the Presi-
dent, "but / want to say that / know
Of no one whose advice or sagges-
ton would more willingly follow
than your own"
Now, let it be remembered, that
Stanford is a stalwart Republican,
and we can appreciate the good I'M
derstanding which Cleveland seeks
to establish with him. When Dem
ocratic President goes out of his way
to seek Republican advice it is
enough to put even Bill Arp to
thinking. Cleveland is now Mill
ionaire and a President. A few
years ago he was common Sheriff
who was glad to earn the ifty-dollar
fee for hanging felon. Stanford is
a Millionaire and Senator. A few
years ago he had nothing.
How did he get his millions -?
Stole them from the Pacific Rail-
road.
How did Cleveland get his?
BY being let into the deals of Wall
Street Corporations and gold-bugs
who now control his policy.
No wonder he and Stanford feel
friendly.

NEGROES IN OFFICE.

The Atlanta Constitution says that
islanders, the colored man who did
such fine work against Watson" is
to have a Government place.
All right.
We can stand it if Rev. Cad John
son, Rev. Tom Gadsen, Noah John
son, Jackson Showers, and the bal
ance of the colored Republicans of
the Tenth can.
The Republicans are having a
good time, in various spots and cor
ners. With Gresham in the Cabinet,
taking financial advice from John
Sherman, we don't see why Landers
should not be in the mail service.
At the same time it is 'leetle'
tough on the white Democrats of the
county, none of whom have been
provided for and who said last sum-
mer that the danger of our move
ment was that the negroes would get
office.
