When the general assembly convenes
next week the democratic members will
find themselves confronted by larger
opposition than they have faced for a
long time. Nearly oue-fourth Of the mem
bership-if the House Of Representatives
is made up Of populists and republicans.
1t is quite probable that the populists
and republicans will act together. voting
solidly against the democrats. Their in
terests are mutual hence they will stand
~ each other through thick AMI thin.
And in the event of democratic factionaI
dtffe rences going into the legislature tire
opposition would hold the balarce of
power and use it as a stick with which to
crack democratic heads.
The only manner Of averting 50 unfort-
innate and so unseemIy an occurrence is
for the democrats to settle their differ
ences before they 90 into the general as
senbly, hence the Gemand for caucus
II is pretty we'll understood that the OPP
position will caucus and perfect thcir
pans of operation, and it would sh w
lack Of appreciation of the situation If
the democrats were to go into the light
less well prepared.
+ is gratifying to note. from our At
lanta dispatches, that the sentiment in
favor of caucus IS strong and growing,
ara that Chairman Clay and other party
managers are awake to the iinI, rtance Of
presenting an unbroken democratic front
in the general assembly. Their active
work for the caucus will make the hold
ing of it practically assured.
The opposition to the caucus, it will be
borne in mind, has come from an element
in the party that has done as much
harm to the party cause as any opposing
influence in the state campaign. That
element has given support to populism
in more ways than one, and probably
thought to still further give comfort and
aid to Tom Watson's party by forcing
democratic fractional contests into the
legislature and permitting the popuIist
members to dictate the terms upon which
they would permit elections That plot
will be squelched.
And when the democratic members go
into caucus, they should be careful that
in their actions they make no concessions
to the populists. 1t is a mistaken idea
to think the populists should be coroili-
ated, They are the bitter enemies Of
the Democratic party, and any concession
the democrats might make would be
taken by he populists as an Offering
from craven opponent who had been
beaten.
If the Democratic party of Georgia has
principles worth fighting for, it is time
they were being put to the front and
bold stand made upon them. The caucus
should be satisfied that every candidate It
indOrses measures up to the standard set
by the democratic platform just as it
reads, and that no candidate has been
preaching political heresies for the pur-
pose Of catering to the new school of
politics.

A Strika Prauantive.
From the Philadelphia Ledger dnd).

A plan by which il is alleged the friction
between railroad managers and their en-
ployes win be reduced and strikes avoided
He has prepared bill, to be introduced
at the next session of congress, requiring
certain railroad employees to be licensed
by the government and imposing penalties
If those not having licenses are employed.
There are provisions also for the settle
ment OF disputes. The proposed legisla-

CURRENT COMMENT.
Legislation in Politics.

Controller Eckels said in his address be
fore the bankers convention at Baltimore
that the currency, being a purely business
question, should be taken out of politics.
He argues for taking it out of politics be-
cause 1t has nothing to do with filing the
Offices" Mr.. Eckels and the muEwumps
would, between them, take everything out
of politics and allow the people to pro-
nounce on no subject The currency will
belong to politics as long as it belongs to
Legislators So will the tariff, and so viii
many other questions which affect trade
and finance, No way has been found to
get such questions out Of politics except
by settling them, and they can never be
settled until they are settled right.

The salary of "A senator is not larger than

Mckinley and the Sugar Bountv,

According to our dispatches of yester-
day, Gov. Mckinley has given up the idea
of making speeches in Louisville and
Nashville, but hopes to speak in New Or
leans tonight. 1t is to be hoped that
nothing will occur to prevent his speaking
to the sugar planters in the Crescent city
The country at large is anxious to hear
from the apostle of high protection on
'he subject of bounties.
VIII he advocate the restoration of a
bounty to the sugar planters? lie must
do so if he is consistent, for Mckinley is
the man who put sugar on the free list,
as far as any one man could do it, And
if he should advocate the bounty would
his party be bound by anything that he
might say? Republican leaders in va
rious sections of the country are repudi-
ating his assertions on the stump that the
Mckinley law is now an issue of the re-
publican party, or that it will be an issue
in 1896. Henry Cabot Lodge said in a
speech in Cambridge, Mass, on Monday
night, that I'VE ought to give the present
tariff a fair chance for trial" Thomas
b. Reed said in a speech at Ann Arbor,
Mich, on last Wednesday night: 'If the
republicans should be successful this fall
nothing further would be done with the
tariff until after 1895" Mr.. Reed went
on to apologize for the Mckinley bill,
saying that it was not the idea of the Re
publican party, but OF the radical pro-
tectionists of the cast, who got control OF
the committee on ways and means by buy
ing off Gear of Iowa with free sugar.
If McKinley's tariff utterances are re-
pudiated by his party friends, what rea-
son is there to think they would subscribe
to his sugar bounty promises, in case he
should make such promises?
