'rillmanites'' as Lawmakers.

From Charleston News and Courier DEM.
The lawmakers in this state have shown
great carelessness IN their work in recent
years. two notable examples Of crude work on
their part being readily recalled. The first

the most important bill Of the session, was
framed so badly that it was for a time sup
posed that II would be necessary to call an
extra session Of the body. at an EXPENSE of
thousands OF dollars, to correct an error that
should not have escaped the attention OF a
capable enrolling clerk, but which was not
detected 10y any Of the scores of legislators
themselves The other instance was the
more recent and notorious one of the original
dlspensary act, the most revolutionary
measure In some respects ever passed by
legislature of the state, but which was gen

An eminent Italian anthropologist who
has been making scientific study of an
archists has reached the conclusion that
man is not an improvement upon the
monkey, but that the monkey is a degen-
crate man. Accepting this theory of a
retrograde instead of a progressive evolu-
ton, the stumbling block of a missing
link, which troubled Darwin, is probably
to be found in the anarchist. The typical
anarchist, we are told has cranial lines
very nearly approaching those of the
balloon, while it is pretty generally con-
coded fact that the morals of the baboon
and the anarchist closely resem BILE each
other The learned Italians reversal Of
the Darwinian theory will probably be a
fruitful theme of discussion, and it will
be interesting to know whether men will
take more kindly to the idea of their
progeny becoming monkeys than they
have taken to the idea that their progeni-
tors were monkeys.

The Silver Craze Limited.

The south is not so completely the vic
tim of the silver craze as the silverites
would have the country believe. If we
are not mistaken only one state demo-
cratic convention in the south has de-
clared for the free coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to /, and that was the North
Carolina convention. No doubt the state
democratic convention of South Carolina
will make similar declaration. In all
the other southern states that have held
convenC lions this year the declaration on
the financial question has been in favor of
sound money.
1t is easily understood why in North
Carolina and South Carolina the demo-
Gratis are in favor of the free coinage
of silver at the ratio of 16 to
1. 1t is not, there is good reason
to believe, because the thinking men of
the party in those states are satisfied
that free silver coinage would be a good
thing for the country, but because it is
thought that declaration in favor of
free silver coinage would tend to weaken
the populists. In North Carolina there is
a clean cut populist party, but in South
Carolina the Tillmanites represent the
populsts-that is, they accept nearly all
the populist doctrines, although they call
themselves democrats In the states in
which the democrats have no fear of the
populist party the democratic declara-
tions have been in favor of keeping the
currency sound.
The silverites thought they would cap
ture the state democratic convention in
Texas, but they were greatly mistaken.
The Texas democrats are Enthusiastically
and strongly in favor of sound money.
The high water mark of the silver
craze has been reached. The more the
people study the silver question the more
clearly they see that the free coinage of
silver would likely benefit no one except
the silver mine owners, and it would ben
eft them only so long as the silver dollar
could be kept on an equality with the
gold dollar.
The people are in favor of sound money,
and those of them who have given the
silver question careful consideration are
confident that silver currency would be-
come desbased currency very soon if the
minis should be opened to the free coin
age of silver and the price of silver
should remain as it is.
The democrats of Georgia are beginning
to understand the silver question pretty
thoroughly, and the free silver talk of
the populists will not make populist
converts of any considerable number of
them. Indeed, the populist party is
much more likely to lose some of its mem
bers on account of its position on silver
than gain converts from the democrats.

A Tame Campaign.

Judge Hines, the pODulist candidate for
| governor, does not appear to be arousing
{ a great deal of enthusiasm by his
| speeches. 1t may be that he does not be-
/ lieve in all the demands of the populists,
| and, hence. does not in his speeches con
vey the impression that they should have
the support Of the people. He accepted
the nominal ton with reluctance, and only
a little while before he was nominated
there was some doubt as TO whether he
had decided to sever his connection with
the Democratic party. 1t may be that he
is in doubt as TO whether he has not made
a mistake in casting his political fortunes
with the populists. If that is his mental
condition it is easy to understand why he
awakens no enthusiasm for the cause of
the populists in the localities ne visits.
Our Atlanta dispatches yesterday
threw out an intimation that the pro
found admiration which Judge Hines is
supposed TO have for Mr.. Watson is
on the wane-that, in fact, a GOODNESS be
tween the populist candidate for COVER
nor and the populist leader is not improb-
able 1t is limited that Judge Hines sus-
Watson's am bition to be elected to con
gress from the Tenth district. Mr.. Wat
son was nominated for congressman yes
terday, and it is but natural that he
should use every means at his command
to defeat his opponent, Mai Black. The
populist campaign may lack enthusiasm
and lag in other parts Of the state, but it
will hardly be permitted to do so in the
Tenth district. MIR Watson intends to
get back to congress if he can, and it
would not be surprising if, in order to
accomplish that object, he should neglect
the state campaign.
If reports are true there is one thing he
is doing that will not help him, and that
is organizing the blacks and making them
populist allies. BY adopting that policy
he will lose more votes Of the whites than
he will gain from the blacks. He cannot
organize the blacks as a part of the popu-
ulist party without making promises to
them, and no promises he can make to
them are likely to be acceptable to the
white populists. If the blacks were left
alone to vote as they please no fault could
be found with MIR. Watson if some Of
them should vote for him, but if left alone
the great majority of them would vote
with the democrats.
1t is evident that the state campaign of
the populists is not going smoothly. There
is believed to be dissatisfaction which is
likely to crop out at any time.

Why Not a Union Depot ?

Savannah has enough railroads which
have headquarters within her limits to
have union depot. Jacksonville is to
have such depot, and Atlanta has reason
to expect that she will also. The plans
have all been prepared for the Jackson
vile depot, and Mr.. Spencer of the
Southern Railway said the other day that
he was considering the question of a
union depot at Atlanta.
Three great railroad systems now have
terminals at Savannah. They are the
Georgia Central, the Savannah, Florida
and Western, and the Florida Central and
Peninsular. 1t is expected that the Savan-
nah, Americas and Montgomery will be
built into Savannah before the end of the
year, thus giving Savannah the benefit of
four great roads.
A union depot would be helpful to Sa-
vannah in many ways. 1t would help to
advertise her and it would be great ac-
commodation to her citizens.
No better time than the present could
be chosen for undertaking such an enter
prise. The Central is about to be reor-
gained, the Savannah, Florida and
Western is without depot only
the shed of one constructed-the Florida
Central and Penlnsular is without a
home, and the Savannah, Americas and
Montgomery is now getting ready to build
into the city.
Our enterprising citizens should take
hold of this matter at once and push it to
success. There is reason to think they
would find the railroad authorities favor
able to such an undertaking.

That folks got taking me for him
And each one for the other.
1t puzzled all our kith and kin,

For one of US was born a twin

Before our names were fixed,
AS we were being washed by nurse
We got completely mixed.
And thus. you see, by fate's decree,
Or, rather, nurses within,
My brother John got christened me
And got christened him.

Our footsteps when a. school,
And l was always getting fiogged
When John turned out the fool
put this question fruitlessly

To prove that you were your"

For somehow my intended bride
Became my brothers wife.

Absurd mistakes went on,
And when l died my neighbors came
And buried brother John.

As small thing as a punctuation mark
may sometimes make the greatest kind of
a difference, not only in the meaning of a
sentence, but in dollars and cents. After
the Mckinley tariff bill mad been passed
and signed, it was found that parenthe-
sis had been misplaced in the confection-
cry schedule, and that the effect was to
change entirely the rate which
the trainers of the bill intended
to make upon certain kinds of candy.
And some difficulty was experienced in
getting the error corrected. tits alleged
that certain somewhat similar errors
have been discovered in the punctuation
of the new tariff bill A semicolon in the
place where a colon should henullife5 the
25 per cent duty on cut diamonds and the
10 per cent. duty on uncut diamonds, and
places the stones on-the free list, so it is
held by certain writers Another error
OF precisely the same sort occurs in the
seed schedule, making all seeds free. OF
course it was not intended that either dia-
monds or seeds, except a few kinds of
seeds, should be admitted free, and the
paragraphs will be corrected to say pre-
cisely what they mean, and mean pre-
cisely what they say.

A new bacillus scare is agitatirg Eu-
rope A Russian doctor, in a learned
argument, asserts that cholera is trans
mltted by handshaking probably to as
great an extent as by any other agency.
So much has been said on the subject and
so strong have been the arguments that in
certain cities on the Caspian sea anti
handshaking societies have been organ
lied for the purpose of preventing the ex-
change of bacilli by contact. Members of
the SIC cites wear a button so that they
may be recognized as anti-handshakers
and spared the necessity of Notifying a
friend by refusing to shake hands. Hand
shaking Is a timehonored and almost
universal manner of greeting; kissing is
an ancient manner Of expressing strong
affection, and the use of a single cup at

been instituted by the Saviour. Yet the
scientists, with their idol-smashing the
cries tell US that each is dangerous. And
the scientists may be right.

They declare that it is worth little to the peo-
pie and that many OF the provisions are
wrong in principle What, then, have Judge
Hines, Mr.. Watson and their lieutenants to
say of the popultsts in congress who voted for

The march Of cholera in the east APP
pears to be unchecked. 1t is raging with
great violence in Russia, and TO a lesser
degree in Austria-Hungary. A number
OF the countries in Europe are being more
or less afflicted with the scourge. In
Vienna on two days Of last week there
were 253 new cases, and in Galicia there
were l6l deaths. The disease is spread
ing in Amsterdam, it has broken ont in
Rotterdam, and even in England one or
two cases Of "cholorine" have been re-
ported. In Paris also there have been
cases Of "cholerine." In case the disease
becomes prevalent in Europe there is
danger that this country will be affected.
II is fortunately the fact, however that
at each American seaport through which
cholera would be likely to enter there is
an efficient quarantine service, and all of
the seacoast cities are reported TO be in
very good sanitary condition. In so far
NJ the southern cities are concerned, they

1t was the pleasure of the voters
of the Tenth congressional district to
heap SAP negative votes upon Mr.. Tom
Watson in the last election. That was
an increase of something more that 500
democratic votes over the majority that
Watson received when he was elected
and when it was alleged that he was a
democrat. The democrats of the Tenth
should be able in the forthcoming election
to do as well in the way of an increase
as they did before, and make Mai
Blacks majority 5000 or more.
