DETERMINED.

The Democratic party is not
wrecked and it not likely to be. 1t
has weathered many a political
storm like that of Nov. 6, and, in all
probability, it will weather many
more. The Democratic party is the
party of the people and is loved by
them. Its principles promise tho
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der, and it will therefore continue
to be enc of the great parties of the
country. 1t makes mistakes and
Their the people punish in by taking
the control of the government from
it for awhile, shut they do not lose
confidence in it. If defeat meant
destruction it would nave ceased to
exist long ago. On last Tuesday it
received only temporary set back.
Two years hence it may win glori>
Gus victory. In 1890 and 1892 the
Republican party suffered bad de.
feats. Its leaders did not regard it
as wrecked. They gathered their
forces, waited for favorable oppor-
tunity and are again on the topmost
wave of prosperity. And so it will
be with the Democratic party. The
sharp edge Of disappointment will
soon wear off and operations for
the next contest will be begun. In
that contest the Democratic party
is just as likely to be victorious as
not. The Democratic party is not
dead, or wrecked, or disheartened.
1t is alive and vigorous and will be
heard from at the proper time in
way that will make its adkerents
rejoice. Savannah News.

Populism was born in Kansas--
that hot bed Of Republicanism. 1t
had a mission to perform, and that
was the breaking Of the solid South.
This has been accomplished. and
Kansas has gone back into the ranks
of the Republicans, Is there any
use or any sense in the people of
the South fighting each other, when
the North and West stand as solid
phalanx to oppose them?

Fifty thousand women of Chicago
registered for the election. Eight
thousand of them voted. Five thous>
onds of those who voted are proba-
bly, so much disgusted-so says a
Chicago paper that they will never
vote again. Four thousand OF the
voters voted the way they didn't
want to, ard the other 1000 are
probably not satisfied yet that they
voted right. The "silk stocking"
element registered with a great
flutter and many giggles. But
when the time to vote came they
quailed and staid at home.

CONVICT LABOR.
Hon. II. n. Holland Intro
duCeS a Bill
TO HAVE CONVICT GOODS LABELED,
He Is Bitterly Opposed to COnvicts
Competing with Free Labor and
Gripping Honest Industry.

One of the most important bills
yet introduced in the house is that
Of Hon. R. N. Holland, the dis
tinguishedyoung representative from
Cobb county, it being can act to
protect free labor, regulate the in
PRODUCTION and sale of convict-made
goods in the state of Georgia, to re-
quire goods, wares and merchandise
made by convict labor to be stamp
ed, branded or labeled, to require
all dealers in such goods to give
bond and be licensed, to provide
penalties for the violation thereof,
and for other purposes
This bill, as the caption indicates,
is introduced by Mr.. Holland, it's
author, for the purpose Of protecting
the free labor of Georgia. While,
OF course, the vested rights Of the
convict lessees of the state cannot
be disturbed, the provisions of the
bill stipulate that after the expira
ton of tie present lease then it shall
also apply to all goods, wares or
merchandise manufactured in this
state.
MIR. Holland is bitterly opposed
to convict labor being allowed to
compete with free labor. He in
sists that it Is not right for the state
to allow the criminals of Georgia or
of other states to come in competi-
ton with honest laborers, who, as
law-abiding citizens, are striving to
make living for their wives and
children. He thinks the convicts
should oe placed to work on the
public roads of the state, or in some
other occupation where there is no
competition with free labor.
"Already," said he, "a large num-
Der of the northern and eastern
states have enacted stringent laws
on this line, fully protecting the
free laborers within their own bor-
ders. In this way the southern
states, especially Georgia, have been
made the dumping ground OF con>
vict.made goods. Many of these
goods are poorly made, are Of a
shoddy character and made of in
terior materials.
"ln the great convict manutactor-
les of the north, east and west the
price of labor is only nominal. The
policy Of the managers of these in
stitutions has been to crash out the
free laborer of the south and also
the tree-labor manufacturers by
temporarily eliminating the cost of
labor, and placing cut throat prices
upon their productions. In this
way they drive out honest competi>
tors, aud after they have succeeded
in their designs they return to their
former high prices and virtually
make monopoly. 1t is high time
for our people to tecome thoroughly
aroused to the gravity Of the situa>
ton and stop this unjust and ini>
quitous proceeding.
"The enactment of this bill would
be a protection on this line. On
the other hand, the competition that
naturally arises between free labor
manufactures throughout the coun.
try will always insure reasonable
prices for the goods manufactured
by them. Atlanta Constitution.

A leading cotton mill man from
Columbus, said at Atlanta Satur>
day: "Cotton is certainly going to
bring better price. Buyers are
loading up on the staple. 1t is the
belief with we'll informed cotton
men that it will increase in price
until it reaches cents. The shrewd
buyers are laying in a large supply
for the anticipated advance in
prices. The farmers who are able
to hold their cotton, ought to do
So"
