The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1894-08-08

views the matter from a partisan stand
point.
THE Calhoun Courier says the second
district democrats have now an excellent
chance of lettering their representation
in congress by electing man who is
capable of becoming great statesman.
Will they do it, or will they blindly fol-
low the so-called "precedent' and re-
elect man whose present friends will
no doubt knife him for their own person
al benefit two years from now?
CorToN picking has begun in earnest
in Texas. There will be enough cotton
grown west of the Mississippi, this year,
taken in connection with the surplus
from last years crop, to supply the de-
mapd. The cotton grown east of the
Mississippi will be about that much in
excess of the requirements of the facto-
ries. The price is going to be small.
DR.. H. II. CARLTON, of Athens, has be-
come a candidate for the United States
senate. A meeting CT his friends was
held in Atlanta, and in response to their
action DR.. Carlton has consented to-
make the race. He will offer as the
'anti-ring' candidate, charging that
there is a combination on the senator
ship.
THE NEWS never calls man liar
We don't do it because it is not good fun
nor good manners. 1t is distinctly coarse
and vulgar. But we are tempted to do
it sometimes. We are tempted to point
out whole passle of liars in the second
district, gigantic, stupendous liars, liars
until the imagination weakens and falls.
IN the light of the campaign of two
years ago, and the outrageous, contempt
ible and unfounded reports that are now
being circulated about Judge Query, it
is refreshing to hear the Russell crew
cry out against SANDER Some of them
are adopts in that line, and can give les
sons every day in the year.
ANGER is causing those senatorial
in South Carolina to strain
politeness to point where frag ments
may fly at any moment. Possibly po-
likeness was never subjected to such
strain before. But they are treating the
English grammar with even more bar
barrie cruelty.
@THE state convention did right in
passing a resolution for the election of
delegates IN every county on the same
day. The experiences of the recent
campaign gave rise to general criticism.
The new plan will make great improve
ment on the old method.
WHEN the royal Hawaiian commission
entered Washington there was no visible
demonstration of greeting. Apparently
all of the brass bands of the city were off
on a toot or vacation, and tie govern
ment officials seemed too busy to go
down to the station.
WE pause in the midst Of the campaign
to say that there could have been no ex-
cuse for Bill Spence's card in last weeks
Calhoun Courier. 1t hurt the gentleman
that was quoted by THE NEWS very much
to think that Bill would offer his test
mony in rebuttal.
E.LET congress resign" is the way dis
gusted Boston people put it. Probably
nobody would attempt to prevent con-
gress from resigning. But the trouble
is, congress does not dosire to resign so
long as the sugar trust remains liberal.
WITH Oriental suavity Japan apollo
gized to England for the sinking of the
transport carrying the British flag. New
ertheless, the ship is destroyed and the
soldiers and sailors are dead. Apologies
are not very difficult to construct.
FINALLY the Kelley commonwealers
have Abandoned he idea of shaping ma
tional legislation and come down to an
humble request of the district authori-
ties to send them home on freight car
