Hon Par walsh. Mistake.

Ex-senator Pat walsh is a very clever
nan. He can gel rsgether more stats
tics. give betier expression to them and
make them 90 better service in establish
ing a reputation for profound knowledge
than any dther man IN Georgia But as
the late Coy 13roTn once remarked. in
speaking ofsnother ex-United States sen
ator. he lacks Judgement. His idea Of
the conditions OF politics in Georgia Is
based apparently Upon the belief that poll
itics in other parts OF the state is as rot
ten as it is in the Tenth congressional
district II looks very much as II he
thinks he sees political preferment In 60
ing with the pOpulists and those demo-
Gratis who are so near the populists il
sympathy that they couldn't draw the
line clearly between democracy and pop
ulism.
Mr.. Walsh is making a mistake. The
populists have no use for a democrat.
be he ever so wayward. There are too
many political hacks among the populists
who are hungry for Office to permit of
an opening. for a democrat where they
have control II the populists should get
into a position that would give them the
balance of power they wouldn't use their
power for the benefit Of democrat. There
are too many rusty backs among them
who have been disgruntled and in oppo-
sition for years because they have not
been made the benehciarIes Of the re-
wards the party has had to distribute.
who would insist upon having every place
In the gift Of their party.
Every democratic politician who has po-
ntical association with the populis;s is
either on the road TO his political death,
or sooner or later will find himself strand
ed In the camp of the political enemies
Of his party. There are no bitterer enc
mics Of the Democratic party than the
leaders of the populists. They have
proven themselves to be such in Alabama
ard Tennessee. The chairman of tho
mixed convention a Griffin will live to see
the mistake he was led into by what IS
likely to be construed to be his desire
to get back to Washington. As straight
out democrat he has been honored by
democrats of Georgia, and from them
alone cal he reasonably hope for pollti-
cal preferment

From Judge

From Judge.
The prisoner was young; his soft brown
eyes
Few more than twenty summers had
held,
His lips-the best of Cupid's handiwork-
AS soon as seen all thoughts of guilt
dispelled.
He stood before the judge severe
And answered in, a sweet voice clear,
That won the hearts of all to hear.
Young man. you're here to answer to a
charge
OF theft Your doom to be pronounced
But at the girls request-the plaintiff
I ask the question: Have you any
thing to SayE - 81.
These last words caused little stir;
The boy cast one fond glance a her
Then sadly answered: Guilty, sir!''
Confessed! Nc person there was tranquil
now.
Three stolen kisses!" doth the judge
announce,
Three rtolen kisses! On the guilty
wretch
The plaintiff shall herself the fate pro-
nOunce."
Her cheek with pretty crimson burned
And thus the lad his sentence learned
THE stolen property must be re-
turned"

south Georgia Not In 1t.

South Georgia was not represented in
the mongrel convention at Griffin to any
considerable extent, and 1t is greatly to
its credit that it wasn't. South Georgia
is the prosperous and conservative part
of the Empire state of the south, and its
people, true to the principles of the party
that has made the state what it is, do
not get any Of the rewards of party feal-
ty, but they are true to themselves and to
the principles OF the democracy.
The Democratic party has never made
a declaration in favor of the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at the ratio of
16 to /, and 1t is not likely it ever will.
The only party that has ever made such
a declaration is the Populist party. The
Griffin convention made such a declara-
ton, and the declaration gives unbounded
joy to the populists. 1t is reasonable that
it should give them 10Y. 1t is a conces-
sion to them that encourages them to per-
sist in their errors. South Georgia demo
Gratis have the satisfaction Of knowing
they have given no encouragement to
the populist silver doctrine.

He KNEW nd CouIdn,t BE New York

Walter Talbert of Memphis, a promi-
nent real estate operator, was In the city
not long ago, says the New York Tribune.
In speaking about New York generally,
out story that he once heard, but which
he had never believed until he came to
New York himself He said:
when l was younger, 1 used to take a
great deal of interest in military matters,
and, in fact, / have several medals won in
competitive drills. l was SO fond of the
militia and regular army that l used to
cultivate the acquaintance of army Of
ficers in order 10 get data.
Now you know that the life of an Of
ficer in the regular army Is pretty rigid
one l happened to be in Washington and
was around the Ebbitt house, which Is
army and navy headquarters, when the
clerk told me this story.
1T seems that young officer had come
to Washington for a visit. 1t was his first
furlough since he was assigned to COM
mand. He was New York boy original
ly, and his first few hours of freedom were
too good to be trihed with, and he pro-
ceeded to get gloriously drunk. He hard
ly knew how ne got into the Ebbitt house.
and for the first two days he had a big
time The third day he partly sobered
up, and when he began to think, II struck
him suddenly that he didn't know where
he was. While still in a slightly befud-
died condition he approached the clerk and
said, with a dramatic attempt at secrecy:
"'What town is this?
The clerk thought he was being made
fun of. and said: Where do you think
you are?
Blessed, If I know was the hopeless
answer. Then the clerk saw that the fell
low really was lost, and said: Where do
you remember being last"
in New York, replied the officer.
"'How do you know that you're not
there now?
1.-The young officer run his hand down in
his pocket and pulled out, in an uncertain
manner. a handful of money. Then he
said refiectively: L have had a couple of
carriage rides, several bottles of wine,
and lot of other things, and l have got
this much left. No, this isn't New York.
Then the clerk told him where he was"

1t would be a mistake to suppose for
moment that Messrs. Horn and Harvey,
at Chicago, are discussing the money
question for the purpose of settling it.
They have entered into an agreement 10
talk so many words each, and to talk
so many hours. What they say will be-
or has been. copyrighted, and will be pub
.ished in pamphlet form for the benefit
of the debaters. The debate is, therefore
n money-making venture, purely and sim
ply. Their contract with each other calls
for 10000 words in the debate, and thew
ere into 1t for the purpose of
p.ling up these words TO be put
on sale later Each will be careful not
to knock the other out before the end of
the fight is reached according to pro-
sramme, and then the fight will probably
be called a draw.

commerce as they once were. Brick
stones, iron and steel as building mate
rails have made an inroad into the field
of usefulness Of the nail. At the same
time, we find the nail upon his mettle

A Typical silver Meeting.
From Rockdale (Ga.) Banner Dem.)

When Col. L. F. Livingston spoke at De
catur last Monday there were Just AZ per
sons present, fifteen of whom were demo-
ing eight democrats retired. TW'enty-one
populists and seven democrats organized
the "Silver League of DeKalb County,"
and appointed IS delegates, 10 democrats
and II populists for the Griffin conven-
ton Twelve of the former were appointed
without their knowledge or consent. What
kind of movement is this 16 to l independ-
ent coinage anyhow? No system of educa-
ton can hold very long public opinion right

In Richmond county about as many We're
chosen. In jefferson county thirteen were

ter was taken, from five to thirty del
gates were named. II, taking the Chroni-

average of five delegates TO the county

tons from Fulton, spalding. Richmond

We do not believe Grand Master Work
man Sovereign can carry out his boycott
against national bank notes. Theoretical
ly. a man may be opposed to that kind
of currency. but when it comes to the test
we do not believe there is a sane man in
this country who would refuse 10 accept
a national bank note rendered in payment
Of a debt or his weekly wages. At this
time, national bank notes are as good as
gold, and may be exchanged for gold or
silver at the option Of the owner. Bank
notes are very good money, and the peo-
pie of this country will not affect the
habit Of refusing good money just to
please the whims Of an agitator.
