The Bankers at Atlanta

The one truly practical. sensible speech,
based on philosophical truth and exper-
fence, made at the Atlanta convention of
American Bankers, was the reply of Mr..
w. P. st John, President of the Mercantile
National Bank of New York, to the windy
balderdash statistics have come to be the
butt for wit and the laughing stock of the
sensible people of the country The
FiHa1eiey gives but synopsis of Mr.. St
Johns admirable address, an argument
unanswered and unanswerable, in favor
of opening the minis of the United States
to the free coinage of silver, while col
umns are devoted to the rubbish OF Mr..
Atkinson, and other members of the
Association, who either did not clearly
comprehend what they were trying to drive
at, or their naked facts are so revolving to
the American people that they feared to
plainly say what they meant. We would
like to see Mr.. St John Secretary of the
Treasury term i'll place of the cats
paws that have so long mismanaged that
department of our government.
One of the windy speakers was Hon"
George N. Aldridse, whose speech was
called ''sound money address. 1t is
the 'al6redest' harangue ever put into
print. Mr.. Aldridge must not only have
tried his audience but worn them out
with the endless rot he Palmed off on
them for "sonnd money" If it were
possible to persuade thepeople to read such
balderdash they would soon be cured of
goldbugism. The bankers big Atlanta
convention failed to excite ripple of
interest and was as flat as their 'sound
money! literature.

Mr.. EDITOR Il see in some of the county
papers, that petition is being circulated in North
East, to be sent to the Governor, praying for the
release of Cordes, who was tried at the last term
of court and sent to the House of Correction for
nine months. Now it seems to me that the tenn
perance people of the county ought to get up a
counter petition, praying that Cordes may be
compelled to serve ont every minute of his time.
During the eight years that Cecil county was
under the prohibitory law, formerly. it is we'll
known fact that this Cordes openly violated it,
but because he was possessed of some property
and influence he was allowed to violate the law
without let or hindrance. He of course thought
he could do the same thing now as formerly.
1t is urged in some quarters that Veasey who
also resides in North East was equally guilty
with Cordes, but as the former was a Democrat he
was allowed to have his case continued until
after the election.
Now what the temperance people who voted for
the law should see to, is, that Cordes remains in
the House of Correction until the last minute of
his sentence expires, and that Veasey be speedily
sent to keep him company. Both are old offenders
and openly boosted last year that they would defy
the local option law lift carried at the polls

The Liquor Prosecutions-The Prohi.
bitiOnistS Heard from i'm the Case.

Some of us have been looking on with interes
at the new developments and maneuvers of the
leaders in the present political contest for supre
macy in the county and State, and we are il
about the same fix as the Cleveland Democrats il
Cecil with no paper of general circulation to give
us hearing before the people without asking the
| favor of the JOURNAL.
| The Wing gives an account of liquor prosecu
tions at the last term of court that looks yer,
| plausible and may be in the main correct, but il
stops shorts OF making promises either expressed
| or implied that the Republican party, as such
will prove an impartial champion of the law
because isright ifintrusted with its enforcement
The Prohibitionists of this county have worked
waited and listened in vain for any word of ap
prevail OF the law by any convention or person in
authority in that party authorized to speak for it
and they have labored in vain to secure any
pledge or utterance from any of its candidates that
would in any way identify them with the side Oh
the people on this question, which in this county
is not the saloon side.
But with the well known attitude of their party
outside the county it is not to be wondered at
that they do not and dare not stand for right,
because it is right but prefer TO play fast and loose
with this, as with every other issue involving any
moral question, and never base political action
upon any higher ground than expediency.
1t Is not too late now for the candidates for
District Attorney to publicly declare their own
purposes, and il this position that demands the
services of thoroughly non partisan officer they
should not now allow their hands to be tied and
mouths gagged by party.usage.
No self-respecting and honorable man should
fear to make a record on this issue. Without such
an avowal there is no safe course but for every
Prohibitionist in this county to decline to make
any choice for that office.
SIXTH DISTRICT PRoHIBITIoNIsT.
The two weak points lin the Prohibi.
ton party are-it cannot command a
sufficient vote to give it a balance of
power influence, and being a distinct
political party cannot in consequence
exert non-partisan influence. 1t falls
shot lin the first and is estopped in the
latter. On account of the demoralized
political condition the party will likely
get some more votes i'll the county this
fall than formerly but not enough to in
dictate that it will ever reach command
ing position as factor in party politics
on its present lines. There is right s0a,
as we'll as right principle involved, and
the Prohibition party don't appear to
have thus far hit upon the right way

Henchman from Perryvie who knows everybody
and also knows how they vote-when let alone
An orchestra discoursed enlivening music. One
of the candidates made short rambling speech,
and as the "Order' is composed of men of every
shade ofpolitical belief, the speaker had to be
very careful not to touch upon any of the living
| questions of the hour
When the candidate had finished lady was
introduced who read essay, in which she
touched upon great many topics without going
very far into any. If she had only have had time
to go off by herself and gather her wits together
she might have done better young woman
finished up the literary seance by reciting love
poem This ended, the orchestra struck up a
