An Interesting Campaign.

The political campaign in this state
promises to be an interesting and lively
one. The democratic meetings yesterday,in
widely separated parts of the state, were
| addressed by some Of the most prominent
/ leaders Of the Democratic party. Those
/ leaders and other distinguished speakers
/ will be on the stump from now until the
/ election. The people of every county will
have chance 10 hear why the democrats
should be continued in control of the
state and national governments, and the
reasons will be convincing ones.
1t will be made apparent that the OPP
ponents Of the Democratic party have no
satisfactory reasons TO offer why the con-
fdence Of the people should be with
drawn from that party, or why other prin-
ciples and policies would bring greater
prosperity to the country. II will be
shown that the Democratic party has ad-
ministered the trust conhded to it faith
fully, and that il is now, as it has always
been, the party of the people
The democrats are alive to the impor-
lance of the state campaign, and there are
many indications to justify the belief
that it is their purpose to administer a
death blow to the populists. From all
parts Of the state come reports of prepar-
atoms for great democratic meetings,
showing that an unusual effort is being
made to bring out big democratic vote.
Democrats who have not for years taken
an active part in politics are this year
talking politics to their neighbors and
acquaintance and doing what they can
to get every democrat in their immediate
localities interested in the campaign
Work of this kind will have its effect
The speakers this year are well worth
hearing. Some of them who have only
a local reputation are making themselves.
known throughout the state. They are
rendering excellent service, and, in con-
junction with such men as Turner, Bacon,
Gordon, Garrard, Lester, Walsh, Crisp,
Smith and others, will arouse enthusiasm
for the democracy such as has not been
witnessed in Georgia for many year.
1t is noticeable that the people are be-
ginning to understand that only few of
the populist speakers comprehend the
questions which they attempt to discuss,
and that those who do understand them
lack sincerity. The people are quick to
discover demagogue, and they are pretty
certain that there are demagogues rep
resenting the populist cause.
What Georgia needs is a democratic
majority in October so large as to make it
certain that she will continue under
democratic rule. That being settled
home-seekers who are looking toward
the south will not hesitate to come to
Georgia, because since the democrats
have had control of her affairs she has
prOspered greatly.

Commanders and engineers Of steam
vessels are required by law to take out
licenses, which are issued by certain au-
thorities after the applicants have passed
satisfactory examination as to techni-
cal, moral and mental qualifications. 1t
seems to be the idea of both Mr.. Debs
and the General Managers Association Of
Chicago that the same, or similar, ere
quirements should be applied to the con-
ductors and engineers of railway trains.
The law requiring that marine COM
manders ana engineers shall be licensed
is justified by the fact that the safety of
the lives Of passengers and of the vessels
demands that the men in charge shall be
reliable and skillful in their line Of bust.
ness. Itneeds no argument to show that
thorough qualification is as necessary 10
the preservation Of life and property on a
railway train as on a steamboat. But the
question is, would the license system
secure only frst-class men for the train
serTice3 1t is believed that the train men
under the present system would show up
about as well as the steamboat men, in so
far as reliability and competence is con-
cerned. :.

TIE Cotton mills Strike.
From the New York Post nndN


None Of the manufacturers as far as we
have seen, asserts that the tariff has any
thing to do with the strike. 1t would be too

AlduCh stated in open Senate, prepared
their own tariff To day s Wool and Cotton
Reporter says that III, reason for the pro-
posed reduction in wages lis probably not TO
lie found IN the adoption of the new tariff
rates on cotton What the real reason is
appears pretty mysterious to the Re
porter II it is simply tenn
Iorary restriction of production the
manufacturers are after, it thinks the
better ana honester way would be to give
that reason frankly fer the shut down, and
not allege the necessity OF lowering wages. A
letter from our own correspondent in New
Bedford. published elsewhere, gives q com
prehensive statement OF both sides Of the

tlves. With the tariff so plainly removed as
an element in the controversy between men
and masters, Its settlement ought TO be pos
sl0le without any partisan bias and strictly as
q matter of business. ...

A Washington correspondent has dis.
covered a curious question of ethics in
the Senate, which, il is presumed, will
have bearing upon the passage Of ~pop.
gun" tariff bills during the second session
OF congress. A certain number Of gentle.
men, it is alleged, entered into a combine
TO protect the interests Of each other in
the tariff bill IL was a case OF You
tickle me and I'll tickle you" and tho
blll was finally passed as they wanted it.
Now, some Of the gentlemen hold, the
contract has expired by limitation and
they are relieved from their obligation to
defend and protect each others interests.
They promised to pass certain tariff
schedules, but they did not agree TO keep
them passed. They assisted to put duties
on sugar, coal. iron ore and barbed wire.
but they did not pledge themselves to
keep those duties there for year, or a
month, or week, or a day.

Honest Men For omoe.

Mr.. Moorfeld Storey of Boston, who
read the annual address before the
American Bar Association at Saratoga on
Wednesday, made some points that COM
mend themselves to thoughtful people.
One point that he presented strongly is
the danger that threatens the republic
through bribery and corruption of men in
Office.
1t is Of the highest Importance that
there shall be implicit confidence in leg
islators who make the laws, in the judges
who administer them and in the officials
who execute them. The people will obey
the laws willingly if they are satisfied
that they are made for their good
and are being fairly and impartially exc
cuted. Instances of municipal corruption,
like those which have been brought late
ly to public notice in New York and
New Orleans, make the people restless
and distrustful.
They are not easily convinced that
their public servants are dishonest, how
ever much they may talk, but such as
sertions as that 1.-The sugar trust has con-
gress by the throat" which appeared
so frequently in the republican news
papers recently, are calculated to shake
their confidence in them. However, the
people are patient and wait for proofs.
They do not readily accept as true what
partisan newspapers say.
No doubt the frequent lynchings are
due to a loss of confidence in the courts.
not loss of confidence in the integrity of
the judges anc prosecuting officers, but a
doubt of their willingness to be prompt in
the enforcement of the laws for the pro.
lection Of society.
The people in selecting their represen.
tatives for the legislature and for con.
gress should be careful to choose only
honest and capable men, and they should
see to it that those selected to administer
the laws are men who realize the impor
lance of what is best for society.
Much is said about corruption in high
! places, but there is much less corruption
now than there used to be. The standard
of morals among public men is becoming
higher. There is, however, great room
for improvement.

Upon the authority of DIR. Cyrus A. Ed
son of the New York board of health, DR..
koch's latest discovery is an absolute
and infallibe cure for diphthoria, if APP
piled within thirty-six hours after infec-
ton. DIR. Biggs, the bacteriologist of the
board, has just returned from Berlin.
where he went to study the new remedy.
DR.. Biggs confirms all Of the enthusiastic
reports concerning the discovery which
have made their way to this country.
DR. Edison will endeavor TO have the New
York authorities establish plant for the
production of this iufallible specific.
which otherwise would be too costly to
be within the means Of the poor. Dr..
Edison asserts confidently that with the
new remedy in the hands of the health
department it would save next year the
lives of 1880 people in New York city.
1t is very rarely the case that such con-
sentative men as DR.. Edison and Prof.
Biggs give their unqualified Endorsement
TO any new treatment, hence IL is prob
able that the secret Of diphtheria has, in
deed, been mastered Consumption may
be the next terror Of humanity to be sub
dued by the physician. ,

The Massachusetts state board Of arbi-
tration, which is at work to the end of
settling the strike of the cloth mill oper-
atiyes, has no power to enforce any con
clusion it may reach. 1t can only suggest
terms, and it is left for the principals to
the difficulty to say whether or not they
will accept the suggestions. 1t will be
interesting to watch the progress of the
arbitration boards work and note what
effect its investigations and conclusions
have upon the outcome.

The breaking Of the deadlock in the
Third district Of Texas, and the defeat Of
Buck hilgore for denomination, leaves
still three deadlocks in Texas congress

The trouble with all Of the conventions is
that they are working under the rule
that requires a two.thirds ma GRITTY.
That ule, by the way, is falling into dis

and expense as any rule ever adopted in

The Valdosta Times reports that Con-
gresham Turner was too unwell on Sat.
urday to fiji one of his appointments to
speak. The reaction from the long and
hard strain to which he has been sub.
iected is now telling on him. Mir Turner
was one of the hardest workers for tariff
reform on the ways and means commit
tee, and his efforts were not relaxed while
the tariff bill was in conference com.
mittee. II is hoped that a few days of
rest will 'pick him up" and that he will
be able TO Ill the engagements made for
him by the ate campaign committee.

And Failure Makes Them Populists.

Oficeseeking seems to be a mania with
scme people in a great many instances
they do not appear o.care TO what particular
office they aspire. just so it is an office. they
and when defeated for one nee aspire to an
other wholly different and requiring entirely
different sort of a man to I'LL it. some OF
this class OF people take the long chances and
run for two or more offices at the same time.
Once is what they want and they are salts
fed they are eXayty htted to hold anything
from government office to a city alderman
and the average voter finds that at every
election he is being asked to vote for the same
man for some sort OF ONCE.

And in the park ride with you.
Through picture shows with you roam.
With you shop and dance and dine;

And yet so near and yet so far,

How charming, and how very dear"

Or lend my voice u tender tone;

kiss your hands, your lips your eyes;
For absence grants ME all the rights
Your presence evermore denies.

Savannah is not sorely disappointed be-
cause the rumor that department of the
south Of the army was to be established
with headquarters here, turns out TO be
unfounded. If the war department will
only brush up Fort Pulaski bit and send
a garrison with a military band attach
ment down there by or before next sum
mer, Savannah will forgive everything.
