Let the People Say.

VINO objects to a Senator
ial primary to test the wishes
OF the whole Democratic par
ty? Who il afraid of the
people? Why can't the
Democrats of North Carroll
M do as the Democrats Q!
Illinois and other States
have done? Why can't the
Legislature trust the people
# their own counties. Bnt
they say it has not been cn,.
tomnry. let me tell those
I that it will be Gust tOmarv in
Il few Years to elect the Spna
tors directly by the people
Again one paper is absurd
enough 10 argue that it il;
unconstitutional. Who pro-
posed anything bnt an unof-
fetal test box to get ut the
will of the Democratic pnrtv
in case it carl'lrs the lrgi%ln
ture? just az well argue
hat Governor Carr is nOi
Governor, because Il Demo,
cratic convention reelected
him before the people elected
him.
But they do not stop to
look ut the advantages OF
the primary. What "A full
vote it will bring out! What
union and strength it. viii
give rs! Every time Rich
ard Dole. our candidate for
the legislature. is asked who
he is for for Senator, he will
say, IL will vote for the man
whom a majority of the
Democrats OF my county say,
as shown hy tha primary on
the day of election" THIS
will avoid much strife and
save thosuands Of votes to
the ticket.
But one thing had just as
well be understood. Should
IA small element in the party
prevent the people having u
chance to express their pre-
ference, tell them the candi-
dates for the Legislature will
be surely called out" They
will have 20 say who they
ore, for for Senator. How
many ballots will they vote
for him, or will they stick to
him as long as he is in the
field? Will they pay their
fare to Raleigh? How do
they stand on the silver ques
ton? Do they take the
Southern view of taat plank
in the Chicago pla tform :? Did
they approve OF the uncondi-
tional repeal of the Sherman
act? Aud many more such
Questions.
As the immortal Vance
said, the party is immortal,
and the people are with it.
Let US then trust the people,
and try not to strife their
will. and II greater victory
chan we. have yet achieved
will await us in November

IN Washington several years
ago that will probably make
them mo,e careful in the
future about believing every
statement they see in the
newspapers cfthe class which
make a practice of printing
the sensa ton first and as
certaining i t s truthfulness
afterwards. A newspaper Of
this class had Il story to the
effect that the President
would gladly issde another
$4,000, 900, of bonds if he
were certain they could e
placed without trouble.
These two bankers filed with
patriotism and a desire to
profitably invest the money
Of their customers came at
once to Washington ana
went to the White House,
where they proceeded to sur
prise President Cleveland by
offering to take that entire
bond issue. Mr.. Cleveland
assured them that there was
not the slightest foundation
for the bond issue story; that
the administration had not
contemplated a n Y further
issue of bonds and that there
was no reason in anything
now known to expect that
there would be any necessity
for the question to he consid-
cred at any time in the fu-
ture. Surely that ought to

matter, but all the same
that bond issue story will
continue to be printed in one
form or another, AZ it has
been from time to time. by
those who know it's fnlsity.
Senator HaIris's program
me has so often been upset
and changed by circumstan,
ces over which he had NO con
troll that he deserves great
credit for not having lost
heart entirely before now. 1t
is his present intention if the
final vote on the tariff bill be
rot reached on Tuesday to
compel the Senate to hold IA

From our Regular Correspondent.
Chairman Wilson, of the

nittee, is on hand, apparent

health, ready to take charge
Of the tariff bill as suon az it
gets hack to the House. Like
the skillful commander he
has shown himself to be Mr.
Wilson declines to publicly
express his own opinion CT
the Senate amendments to
the bill or to say what he
thinks will be the result of
conference on those amend
nentS. Whatever position

the part of the House, who
will. of course, be headed by
Charm an Wilson, will be tie

Gratis of the House, with
whom Mr.. Wilson has been
in almost constant consult
alton since his return to
Washington. The one prom
inent Democrat who h a s
been entirely left out of these
consultations is president
Cleveland. and he has been
left out in accordance with
his own wishes. He does not
wish to have it said that he
took sides with either tAr
House or Senate in what
may be quickly settled friend
y controversy or may devel--
Ion into a bitter wrauule.
However, no one who Is at
all familiar with President
Clevelnnd's public ltterancts,
not to mention his private
cOn nversations, ON the tariff
question, can have any doubl
as to which of the two-.he
original Wilson bill or the
amended Senate bill-he pre-
fers. There are good reasons
for the belief that the Demo-
Gratis Of the House will stand
up for the original Wilson
bill, and it can be set down
as certain that the protec-
tiGn amendment of the Sen
ate will never be accepted in
their present shape. There
is no longer any talk Of even
an attempt being made to
have the House agree to all
of the Senate amendments in
bulk. There never. was any
foundation for such talk, be-
yond the inlaginations of
some people who would like
to see the matter disposed OF
in that way.

Mr.. Watson DECLINED.

The letter in which Mr.. Thomas E
Watson declined the challenge of Mr..
Joseph S. James TO a Joint debate and MIR.
James reply to that letter make quite in
teresting reading. The letters show
pretty clearly what the character of the
debate would have been had the challenge
been accepted.
The feeling between the two men makes
it certain that the debate would not have
been confined to political subjects. 1t
would have consisted of charges and
counter charges of a personal nature, and
in all probability would have resulted in
a seJ-to something like that between Cor
bett and Mitchell at Jacksonville
The trouble between Mr. Watson and
Mr.. James, as gathered from the cor
respondence, grows out of the fact that IN
one of his speeches Mr.. James read from
the Dalton Economist edited by Mr. L.
P. Barnes, who says he is a populist, a
list of charges against Mr.. Watson.
Mr.. Watson says the charges are not
true, and he finds fault with Mr. James
for making use of them after Mr. Watson
said they were not true. Mr.. James does
not assert they are true, but thinks Mr..
Watson ought to have attacked the author
of them rather than the man who re-
peated them.
From the foregoing it looks as if
Mr.. Barnes is the chief cause of the un-
pleasantness between Mr.. Watson and
Mr.. James. Mr. Barnes appears TO be
having all the fun while Mr. Watson and
Mr.. James are having all the trouble. If
MIR. Watson should turn his editorial
guns against Mr.. Barnes there
would be more fun, and MIR. James might
have a chance for little enjoyment MIR.
Watson and Mr.. Barnes being populists a
war of words between them might result
in revealing some populistic secrets,
which would give additional life to the
rampaign

Northsn,s Immigration sehsm >.

Gov Northen is especially qualified for
the work Of inducing immigrants 10
come to Georgia, which he will under
take as soon as his term as gov
ernor is ended. Indeed. it would
be difficult to find another man
so well qualified. He is pro-
foundly interested in Georgia, and he
knows the state thoroughly. The bureau
which it is proposed to establish at At
lanta. and of which he will be the chief,
will undoubtedly be of the greatest bene-
fiji to the state. II will have ample means
at its command, the railroads having
agreed TO give it such financial support as
it needs. In fact, the managers Of the
railroads will be its directors, and the
railroads Will render the immigration
mo vement all the aid they can.
The bureau will distribute information
respecting Georgia's soil. climate, pro-
ducts and resources throughout the other
states, and at the same time will be pre-
pared to point out where lands can be OBJ
tained, and the prices at which they can
be had.
Gov. Northeu has studied this immi-
grafton ques Jon thoroughly, and he I'M
derstands the sort of induce nents that
must be held out to get the kind of immi
grants that are wanted. No doubt he will
encourage the formation of colonies, be-
lieving that new corners will quickly
make their new surroundings satisfac-
tory, and in every respect pleasant.
This is the first really practical attempt
that has ever been made TO bring immi-
grants to Georgia. There have been other
attempts but they were so covered up
with speeches of those anxious to see
themselves in print that nothing ever
came of them. This scheme of Gov.
Aorthen's will be launched without any
flourish of trumpets or sky-scraping
speeches. 1t is simple bust
ness undertaking, the success Of which
viii depend largely upon the wisdom of its
management.
We feel sure that all progressive
Georgians will sympathise with this work
of Gov. NorLhen, will wish him success,
and will aid him in every way they can.

Democracy in South Georgia.

Hon. w. Y. Atkinson is reported in our
Atlanta dispatches as saying to Chair
man Clay, at the democratic headquar-
tiers in Atlanta, on Tuesday morning, that
he is particularly well satisfied with the
outlook for big democratic majority in
South Georgia. In the course of his con
versation he said:
we are going to have a bigger major
ity than ever before from South Georgia.
have visited Triton, bonneville, Doug
las, in Coffee county, and Valdosta, and
at every place the democrats are thor
oughly aroused to the Importance of big
ma GRITTY. South Georgia, which has al
ways been the banner democratic section
of the stale, is going to eclipse her pre-
vious efforts at the October election"
There are good reasons for expecting a
big democratic majority in South Geor-
gia. The people of The south and south
east counties get pure democracy from
their newspapers and stump speakers.
They are not confused by being told that
populistic demands are democratic doc
trines. They know what populism is and
what democracy is, and consequently
populism doesn't flourish.
MIR. Atkinson is right in thinking that
the democratic ticket will get big ma
ioriuy in South Georgia. and we feel sure
that when he was in this section he did
not find democrats clamoring for popu-
istic silver policy that would inevitably
lead to a debased currency South
Georgia democrats are not hostile
to silver, but they don't want
silver policy that would degrade our
silver dollars to the level of the silver
dollars Of Mexico. They are sound
money democrats, and they know that
the Democratic party is for sound money.
If the other sections Of the state do as
well as South Georgia the populist party
will be beaten by a greater ma. ority than
it was two years ago
