The same Old Georgia Platform.

In considering the various propositions
or platforms which are adopted here,
there. and everywhere through the
country, We ought. first OF all. to consi-
der their practicability. Ii IL unstatesman-
nike for statesmen to pass resolutions
which they know the people cannot be
induced to indorse. Let us look at the
question in the light Of the Georgia plat
form as this platform was redrafted or
readopted on Wednesday last by the Con-
gressional District Convention which nom'
mated Hon. J. G. G. Black for re-elec-
ton 10 the House of Representatives
That district convention declared as fol-
lows; First, for the immediate repeal OF
the l0-per-cent. tax on the circulating
notes OF State banks. Second, for an IN
come tax that will cause the rich 10 Dear
their just proportion Of the burdens OF
the government. Third. for tarin Tor
revenue only. so adjusted as TO relieve
the necessities of life from taxation. and
place the taxes upon luxuries as far as
possible And fourth and last, for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF 10
to /, and demand that this last law shali
be enacted without waiting upon the
slow process of international agreement.
Is that practical platform? Is II not
rather a platform which invites antago-
nism? ]. The present Congress refused
to repeal the tax upon the issues OF state
banks. Is Il not certain that the next
Congress would do the same II onered
the opportunity? 2. We have no obJec-
ton to a constitutional income-tax, but
we know that no such tax will be levied
by the next Congress. 3. Such tarlH
as Is above described would be good
one; but IL is not a practical measure
just now. The people DO not wish TO have
the tariff disturbed at present. L. As to
the free-coinage proposition. it would be
Overwhelmingly defeated in the next con-
gress There is but one path that leads
10 a solution of the silver problem, ana
that path leads along the line of inter
national free-coinage. But Georgia
friends style this the slow process Of
international agreement" But this slow
process is. we repeat. the only process
that will lead the country and the world
TO the adoption of real free coinage.

Mr.. NorrisOn's Letter.

In DENYING that he could tell all about
a third term. Mr.. Morrison. of Illinois,
a supposed aspirant to the presidency
Of the United States. wrote the following
as part of an elegant epistle. 1t was
addressed to the New York Morning
Journal:
1.-THE Journal as il submits 1t may pos
sibly be as to some Of its suggestions, -
in fact. flying too high or missing the
mark in supposing that | can tell all
about the third-term matter or That
know or can tell anything about II. Nor
had IL occurred 10 me that any or the
gentlemen named in the article OF yes
terday in connection with the presl-
dency. other than Senator Hill and eH-
Secretary Whitney, might be the Demo
cratic candidate In 1896. Further your
paper good-naturedly but erroneousiy'
falls In with, or takes for granted
some recent press reports 90 the erect
that had spoken harshly or suspiciously
respecting Senator Hill. The fact Is l
have neither questioned his motives nor
said any ungraciOus thing Of him. nor
spoken Of him otherwise than with re-
spect and consideration. Respectfully
vours W. r. MORRISON"

that Mr.. Cleveland might be presi-

The Right Road.

Our Petersburg correspondent says in
his Wednesdays letter that as far as
he has been able 10 learn, after talk
ing with leading Democrats OF that city
and section. 1t is the sentiment, almost
unanimously expressed. that in the fall
campaign national questions should be
rgidly excluded. and only State issues
considered. lie adds that on the question
of free silver there is a very divided
opinion, but on the question of an hon
est administration Of the State Govern
ment, and the election Of an honest and
competent Legislature. there is no d.
vision of opinion.
Just so. The Democrats Of Virginia
ought not now 10 begin fight amongst
themselves nor encourage any Democrat
so TO do. In 1885 they may strip for the
encounter. and lay on as many blows as
may be necessary. But let us preserve
the peace for the present. No man can
tell what a year may bring forth.

1t has transpired that the person who
was so badly taken in lately by London
sharpers was not newspaper-man, as
first reported, but a journalist. 1t was
the old story of meeting two elegant
strangers, one Of whom claimed 10 be an
American. enjoying their hospitality in the
form Of champagne and other refreshing
drinks. and finally becoming so intimate
with them as TO confde his money. watch
and chain to them. His acquaintance i'm
medately had a pressing engagement
elsewhere, and the American soon awoke
10 the fact that the confidence game had
been played upon himself.

that SO far as his observations in that
country extended. the people of England
did not take much interest in the silver
question. We do not know that he alluded

the remark under consideration; but
whether he did or not, II is certain that
he has had no opportunity 10 form an
intelligent opinion as to whether blmetal-
lsm is or is not increasing in popularity

said nothing upon which either mono
