Georgia Populists Nominate a State Tick
ct and Affirm Their Principles.

Georgia PopuIists Nominate a State Tick
ct and Affirm Their Principles.
The Populists of Georgia met in At
lanta on the 18th inst, adopted plat
form and put out State ticket with
Judge James X. Hines, of Atlanta, for
Governor. The preamble of the plat
form says
I'VE, the Peoples party of the State
OF Georgia, believe in the principles of
government promulgated and expound-
ed by Thomas Jefferson, and we believe
in a resolute adherence to the princi-
pies laid down by the great Southern
Statesmen, who at the beginning of our
political history combatted the scheme
of the Eastern money power las out
lined by Alexander Hamilton, and who
predicted the ruin which would fall
upon this country when concentrated
wealth should dictate its legislation.
I'VE oppose as he did the perpetual
ton of the public debt and the policy
of issuing non-taXable interest bearing
bonds. whereby large portion of the
concentrated wealth of the land reaps
! harvest from the taxes of the unpriv
LEGGED.
I'VE oppose, as he did. the national
banks as being of deadly hostility to
the spirit of our republican institu-
tons.
"We believe, as he did, in the free
and unlimited coinage of silver and the
issue of treasury notes to increase the
volume of currency when the necessi-
ties of business demands more money.
Like him we believe in a progressive
| income tax to discourage the extensive
concentration of wealth and to compel
our selfish millionaires to contribute
to the support of the government which
protects them. Like him, we believe
that the life of this republic depends
upon the purity of elections and in
obedience to the Iill of the majority.
1--WE hereby renew our unqualified
Endorsement of the national platform
of the Peoples party, and we favor in
the State of Georgia the following re-
forms
The platform declares in favor of the
abolition Of the present State convict
system: furnishing primary school
books by the State; for the Australian
ballot law and against the acceptance
of free passes by the officials.
The platform contains no reference
to the government ownership of rail
ways and telegraphs.
The full ticket is as follows: Govern
or. James X. Hines: Secretary of State.
\. l.. Nance; Comptroller General, w.
+. Kemp; Attorney General, j. E. b.
Mahaffey; Treasurer, c.. NJ. Jones; Com.
missioner of Agriculture, James Bar
rett.

4 SENATE SCANDAL.
Grave Charges of Corruption Against
Democratic Members to bc In
yestigated

vestigated.
Senator Morgan. Democrat of Ala
bama, arose in the Senate last Thurs
day and said an article had appeared
in the Press, charging that enormous
profit would accrue to the sugar trust
10y the fixing of the date when the SUI
gar schedule would go into effect at
Jan. 1, which profit was estimated at
100000. 1t charged that this sched-
ule was exacted by the trust in fulfill
ment of pledges made to it during the
campaign of 1892. 1t also charged that
the Jones amendments were i'll the
hands of a firm of New York brokers
whose names were given, at the very
time when their existence was denied
by the chairman of the finance com
mittee and others. These charges were
made by f. J. Edwards, a well-known
newspaper man. who wrote over the
nom de plume of Holland. If there
was any truth in them, the public ought
to know it; if false, they constituted
libel of the grossest kind. On yester-
day New York paper, from its cor
respondent here, had printed a story
of an alleged attempt to bride United
States Senators, that had since been
confirmed by interview with one of the
Senators. Following these and other
remarks. resolutions for an investiga-
ton of these charges and others, intro
duced by Senator Lodge Republican
and amended by Senator Allen lPopu-
list, Senator Harris Democrat and
others, were adopted, as follows:
"Whereas, 1t has been stated in the
Sun, newspaper published in New
York. that brides have been offered to
certain Senators to induce them to vote
against the pending tariff bill; and
"Whereas, 1t has also been stated in
u signed article in the Press, a news
paper published in Philadelphia, that
the sugar schedule has been up as it
now stands in the proposed amend
ment in consideration of the large sum
of money paid for campaign purposes
of the Democratic party; therefore,
Resolved, That committee of five
Senators be appointed to investigate
these charges and to inquire further
whether any contributions have been
made by the Sugar Trust or any per
son connected Herewith to any politi-
cal party for campaign or election pur
poses. or to secure or defeat legislation;
and whether any Senator has been or
is specializing in what are known as
Sugar stocks during the consideration
of the tariff bill now before the Senate,
and with power to send for persons
and papers and to administer oaths.
"Resolved further, That said com
mittee be authorized to investigate and
report upon any charge or charges
which may be filed before it alleging
that the action of any Senator has been
corruptly or improperly influenced in
the consideration of said bill, or that
any attempt has been made to influence
legislation"

It's summary of local news is an espe-

BAD POLITICS LEADS TO BAD NOR
AIS AND RELIGION.

While the question of amending the
discipline, SO as to exclude church
members who sign liquor petitions,
was I'D at the General Conference of
the NJ. e. Church in Memphis, d broth
er got the floor made speech
against it saying he thought the mem
bers ought to be allowed the privilege
where two saloonists are seeking Ii
cense, of choosing between them and
giving their support to the better one.
We are glad TO note the sentiment was
received with a storm of disappPoYal,
and Bishop Haygood, who was presid-
ing, said it was the first time he ever
heard Kisses in a Methodist Confer
ence. But after all, it is not strange
that the Reverend brother should
have advanced such pernicious idea.
Preachers and other Christians have
beensacting out that principle i'll pol
itics SO long-running around, as it
were. for excuses to support one or the
other of the old whisky parties as the
lesser of two evils-it is not TO be won
dered at that the sentiment has at last
found voice in the church and even in
so great body of good men as the
General Conference.
'Abhor that which is evil; cleave to
that which is good"
Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1894-05-22

In the opinion of Col. w. L. Nugent,
Mr.. Cleveland should not be censured
for appointing Republicans to office.
Referring to the Gresham appoint
ment he is quoted by the Picayune cor
respondent as saying:
''Mr. Cleveland wanted Secretary
of State who agreed thoroughly with
him in the general policy he intended
to adopt and was in hearty sympathy
with tariff reform, the restriction of
taxation. the establishment of a stable
currency, the repeal of the odious fed
eral election laws, and, to use vulga-
risn,, the making of all kinds of dollars
of equal value. With all this he must
have a man of high intellect and posi-
ton, scholarly, sagacious, independent
and conservative"
The only logical deduction to be
drawn from Mr. Cleveland's action and
this statement is that no such man
could be found in the ranks of the
Democratic party and hence an eS-
cabinet officer of the Republican per
suasion gets the plum. Is Cleveland
then a Democrat or Radical?-Peo-
pies Messenger.

Not Our Brother Boone who was Struck
by this "SockdolIager.'
Editor Boone, of the Baptist Chron-
icle, in very nervous editorial on the
proposition to organize a Southern B.
Y. p. u, winds and wobbles under the
weight of his terrible apprehensions.
In his windings he goes for our poll
tics with such surmises as one would
expect when the mind is ver-strained.
Be calm, Brother Boone. Things are
not so bad with US as you may in your
nightmare suppose. The political
party with which we affiliate may
not be perfect-we do not think it is
but it bears one high distinctions it is
the only party in America with con-
science, courage and decency enough
to denounce the saloon with all it's be-
longings. We do not vote with a
whisky party, a party pledged against
our principles, and carrying on the
business against which every denomi-
nation in America has resolved and
protested The saloons do not run by
our vote, but against it. Can you say
as much, Brother Boone? No; you
can't, beloved. Now, brother, you run
a good paper. We like the way you
tell your brother that he can't serve
God and the devil too, by helping
the saloon, can't he turn round and
tell you that you can't serve
God and the devil too, by vot-
ing for party pledged to support
the saloon, and that does license and
uphold the saloon? Brother, the sa-
loon owes its existence to men just
like you are. Whenever Christian
men quit supporting whisky parties
the liquor traffic will be doomed, and
not before. We are waiting for you
and your sort to make up your mind
whether you will serve God or whisky
on election day. Think it all over,
brother; pray over it, and determine
not to go with the multitude to do evil
any more, and may God help you.-

AS to the Wilson Bill, it has been so
patched to suit the protectionists, SO
padded to suit the trusts, 50 twisted to

the Wilson bill, as amended by his
Democratic colleagues: Running

LET JUSTICE BE DONE.

4 sensible View of the Hemingway Case.
The theory of Col. Hemingway's
friends is. that some scoundrel got pos
session of the safe combination and
robbed the treasury months before he
turned over the office to his successor.
And there are clever men who believe
the story, although they know that
Hemingway was in debt when he went
into office. and in less than ten years
he was reputed to be worth 100000.
All this was attained on a 81 100 salary,
while his family lived in $4,000 style.
These facts seem to have no weight in
forming a judgment, but intelligent
people banking upon their supposed
knowledge of their old friends charac-
ter scout the idea of criminal negii-
gence or direct dishonesty and pin
their faith to this most absurd theory.
Now, let us investigate the subject
moment. The State Treasurer'S books
show he received 5315,G12. 10 of the PEG
pies money which he never accounted
for. The Auditors books agree with
those of the treasurer, thus verifying
the correctness of the account Hem
ingway kept against himself. The peo
pie lost every dollar of the money, and
now we are asked to believe he did not
take it himself. his assistants, who also
had access to the vault did not take it,
but that ali unknown somebody, in
some unknown manner. got hold of the
combination and looted the treasury.
If this was done and the Treasurer, or
his asst stants knew nothing about it,
we must conclude that the real thief
was most careful and considerate in
diyidual, to leave the money which was
used every day in the transactions or
the business of the office thousands
of dollars in amount and go rummag
ing around in the hooks and corners
of the treasury vault to find that which
was put away "in the original packages
untouched" in order that the officials
would not discover their loss at once.
Does any body actually believe any
such stuff?
The most plausible theory is that
Hemingway loaned some of this money
to boon companions, who were unable
to replace it. and thus the first hole
was made in the treasury. After this
he used some of the money In specula-
ton to recoup himself and the specu-
lation went against him. If he did not
know as is claimed that he was short
with his accounts, why his inOrdinate
desire to hold the place when he had
been there a years, and could have
stepped into the Governors mansion
if everything was o. K. i'll the treasury?
Why those signs and that eart-break
ing dependency when defeated for
denomination? Why was settlement
made with his successor by piece meals,
and why was it six weeks after he went
out of office before the exposure came?
There is not enough truth in the claim
to justify an argument
Personally. this writer has no feeling
other than sympathy for the eX-otficial
and his family, and were it not for the
fact that less influential criminals are
punished more severely for smaller Of
lenses, we would not object to his be-
ing pardoned for the oifense commit
ted, but our love of justice and con-
tempt for false pretenses would not
permit us to sign the petition in oircu-
lation.-People'S Messenger.

We Can DO 1t.

Your young steers will go to market
after awhile as fine beeves if you do
justice, and the money that they bring
will supply many need. Talk about
taxes If the average farmer in our
country would set aside calf every
year as the agent to pay the taxes, a.
the Irish tenant sets aside pig las the
gentlemen what pays the riDt," we
would never have any tax sales in this
country and never realize that taxes
were a burden. In fact we raise cattle
for less money than it costs in any 9TH
er portion Of North America. and get
more clear profit out of them than any
thing else on the farm pays, and can
make good money out of them at al
most any time when offered in good
condition. -AbCrdecn ETdmjHcr.

REDUCED RAILROAD RATES
To the State Prohibition Convention
June 9th.

To the State Prohibition Convention,
June 9th.
Notice is hereby given that all the
principal railroads of the State have
agreed to convey delegates to and from
the State Prohibition Convention in
Jackson, Miss, on Wednesday, June
9th, for one and one third fare for the
round trip, on the certificate plan.
Delegates will pay full fare to jackson
from the starting point. obtaining a
certificate from the ticket agent certi-
flying to that fact; and on having this
certificate countersigned by the secre-
tary of the convention, the ticket
agent at jackson will sell return
ticket for one-third the regular fare.
Delegates travelling over two lines OF
road should provide themselves with
a certificate for each line.
In order to secure the benefit of
this reduced rate over the Illinois Cen
trail there must be 100 or more dele
gates and visitors in attendance
upon the convention; therefore it is
hoped there will be an effort by the
friends of Prohibition in every coun-
ty to have the attendance of delegates
and visitors as large as possible. There
is no limit placed by the Executive
Committee ON the number of dele
gates who may go to represent any
county. Tickets are good to return for
three days after adjournment of con-
yention. w. H. PATTON,
