SETTLEMENT IMPOSSIBLE.
Miners Union Handicapped.by the Ac
ton of Cert ain Operators.

At the Cleveland, Ohio, session OF the
miners convention, President Mcbride OF the
miners union, asked the operators and spec
tators to retire In order that the miners
might hold conference. This was done and
and meeting lasting an hour was held.
At its conclusion President Mcbride offered
resolution reciting that whereas large
number OF operators who had refused to at.
tended the conference had refused the
hand OF peace which had been ex-
tended to them, the miners believed that
any settlement arrived at in the absence OF
those operators would only add to and accen.
tuate the miserable condition Of the miners,
and that it was impossible to make any set
tlement with the operators who had met
them here.
While appreciating the efforts OF the oper-
ators who had attended the conference to
reach n settlement. the miners asked their
cooperation iu bringing peaceable pressure
TO bear upon the operators to induce them to
agree to terms with the miners.
These resolutions were offered to the con-
ference as expressing the views OF the miners
and the conference then adjourned sine die

THE WAR RACKET IN GEORGIA,

Mr.. Editor-It seems that a young
man named Atkinson has run WAR
RACKET candidate named Evans
Gen. Evans, of course,l off the
stump in the race for the Democra-
tic nomination for Governor in
Georgia. Evans worked the s'rack-
ct with great effect at first, and it
sounded almost as if Gen. Gordon
had risen from the politically dead.
Atkinson also used the following
language in favor of silver:
"He does not tell you when he
wants toe coinage of silver under
these conditions to begin. | tell you
when | want it to begin. Now. We
should begin at the present ratio,
and if, after silver is given its proper
place as d money metal, it is found
that the present ratio is not such as
will preserve the parity, then it can
be changed. | favor the free and
unlimited coinage of gold and silver
now. From the days that the crown.
ed heads of Europe struck down sill.
yer the people have suffered. The
national platform announces two
plans for free coinage-one by inter
national agreement, the other by
legislation. The first plan is too re
mote, and, therefore, we should pro
ceed, by legislation, to coin gold ant
81 yer as primary money of final pay
ment. This will increase the circu
lation. Silver coinage is not to b.
favored as theory, but as thin,
We need right now. 1t is time enough
to talk of ratio when the necessit
actually arises"
Evans there fled from his "Euro
pean arbitration" p atform and go
on Atkinson's platform Then the,
had no issue but their war records
Atkinson's war racket was condemn
ed even by his own party-you ca
imagine what the people would d
for such a candidate. Hard time
or the Third party or Tom Watso
or all these together have compeIle'
the 'cracker" Democrats TO put 0
pretend to put olive" issue int
their campaign. Live issues vii
soon bury all dead politicians. Th
people have pretty generally foun
out that the war racket Is used fo
the sole purpose of obscuring liv
issues. The game being discovere
a new trick must be invented.

resolutions:
The Populist party Of Martin Co.

an expression of opinion as 10 why
the party was and is public neces-
sity and what it proposes To do if
given an opportunity.
sit is necessity because it repre-
sents discomfort with existing condi-
tlons and while many of the RENE
dies 1t proposes for the evils it points
out may be crudely conceived, still
the evils themselves are actual and
the need of IA remedy is great.
The party has it's origin in the
connection that existing conditions
unduly tayors class at the expense
of the masses which is true. The
party is protest against plutocracy
and such protest Is justified. Ii
makes demand for ian equal chance
for all men and the demand is lust.
1t is necessity because it is the
only party that has or will educate
the people to discard the evils Of sec
tlonallsm and prejudice which evils
if left alone, will eventually DESTROY
our Republic. 1t darts TO fight the
money power entrenched at the Ma
tlon's capital aud champions the
cause of the producer aud labor.
And we point with pride to the
fact that our representatives in the
33rd Congress have won encomiums
even from their politicals enemies
for consistency along party lines and
persistent aggresslveness in the inter
est of their constituencies.
With these expressions of opinion
which we ask an enlightened public
to carefully consider, We do there

A CARD FROM MIR. HOCUTT.

Editor News and Observer:
| see IN your weekly paper COM
munlcated under emphatic resolu-
| tions, that at the June meeting. 1892,
of the board of magistrates of John
Ston county, | was nominated for
county commissioner, and that my
democracy had been questioned.
That is mistake. My democracy
had not been questioned then nor has
it been questioned since. No man
who knows me doubts my democracy.
| My unwillingness to be handled and
made tool of by any political ma
| chine was proven in 1890, and that
is the trouble with them. They say
| Iocutt informed them he was a
democrat. am one, and they know
it, if they know the meaning Of
democracy. | non-alIiliated myself
with the democratic party, because
it has been led astray, and continues
to be led by class of men who be-
long to no party except the goldbug
party. And these men have done
everything in their power to enrich
the few by the labor of the many.
| The communication states "only
about eight votes were cast against
the resolutions, and those by friends
and relatives who did not wish to see
| llOcutt Inundated. That is false
hood. ! had but one relative in the
board. Why did it not tell the
whole truth by stating exactly how
many voted for the resolutions, how
many voted against and how many
refused to vote at all q! 1t also states
that Hocutt was informed that if he
would resign, the gentleman offering
the resolutions would not propose
their adoption. That is another
positive falsehood. 1t states one
truth, however, "Hocutt still holds
on, and | shall continue to hold Oh
until my time is out (unless it thur
ders). | have too much democrat
in me to be led about By a LITTLE
handful of magistrates. Ny under
standing when | was elected COUNTY
commissioner was to serve the whole
people of Johnston county regardless
Of politics or party, and no man cal
: truthfully say that | have not dOnt
!, that thing. The communication ais
says that, 'Ethe said Hocutt almos
: Immediately after the election viii
fully betrayed the trust which tn
: board of magistrates reposed in hin
t by joining the third party" Now
wish to know what trust | have be
trayed. If | have betrayed Oh,

s of these resolutions, because there /
