PRETTY GOOD DOCTRINE.

The Peoples party in Georgia held a
State convention recently and adopted
a platform that is full of meat. 1t is a
repetition of the Alliance platform in
substance, and on that account we are
bound to thank the Georgia citizens
for what they have just done, though
it isn't new by any means.
THE PLATFORM.
"ResOLUed, That it is the sense of this
C)vention that the next National Con-
vention of the Peoples party should
adopt the following platform:
Il. The direct issue of all money by
the government; the abolition Of banks
of issue; no more bonds to be issued
except in refunding those of the gov
eminent now outstanding; silver and
gold to be coined upon equal terms at
a ratio of 16 to 1; the volume of cur
rency to be increased to not less than
$50 per capita.
-. Government revenues to be
raised by a graduated tax upon incomes
and by a tariff tax upon luxuries of
life, the ~necessaries of life to be placed
upon the free list, aud the internal
revenue system to be abolished.
IS. transportation being a means of
exchange and a public necessity, we
favor the government ownership of
railroads and canals; the telegraph
and the telephone, like the postofice,
being a necessity for the transmission
of news, we demand that they be run
as adjuncts of the ~postofice system,
but we favor the submission of the
laws carrying these principles into
effect to a popular vote of the people
of the United States, or of the respec-
tive States, and that they shall not be-
come operative until they shall receive
a ma of the votes cast at an cleo
ton held for the purpose of ascertain
ing the public will on these subjects,
each law to be voted on separately.
"a. Alien ownership CT land to be
prohibited; public lands to be granted
to corporations by the government,
and not owned by the said corpora.
tions in accordance with the grant, to
be forfeited and restored to the public
domain.
IS. United States Senators to be
elected by the direct vote of the
people.
"6. Church and State to be forever
kept separate, and no public funds to
be appropriated for any private or Sec
tional purposes; all subsidies to be pro
hibited.
"7. An honest election law to be en-
acted in each State to- the end that
each citizen qualified to vote shall
have the privilege of a free and private
ballot and the assurance of affair and
public count"

LET EN- DUMP.

The Griffin News looks at it in this
way: mo intelligent man complains
of the dumping of the silver of the
world into this country. Foreigners
are not in the dumping business, but
il foreign silver should come over here
and buy our wheat, cotton, pork, beef,
iron and steel it would not hurt us
much, would it7 If all the silver of

A VERY DESIRABLE CALENDER.

Calendars of all kinds and sizes her
aid the new year Many are to be
had for the asking-many without
asking-but to them as to other things
the rule might be applied that what
costs nothing is worth about what it
costs. The calendar we always vel
come has just reached Us. We refer
to the one published by n. w. Aver &
Son, Newspaper Advertising Agents,
Philadelphia. This issue seems if poss
IDLE even better than it's predecessors.
Handsome enough for the library, and
yet carefully adapted for everyday use,
it is naturally a great favOrite. The
firms well-known motto, keeping
Everlastingly At It Brings Success, "
appears this year IN a new and very
attractive form. The daily presence
of this inspiring motto is worth far
more than the price of any calendar.
The date figures are SO large and clear
that they a easily be seen across the
room. The reading matter on the flaps
will also possess interest to the pro
gressive. Those who have used this
calendar in other years will not be sur
prised to learn that the demand for it
is constantly increasing. Once intro
duced it becomes a welcome friend It's

OF

GENERAL HARRISON ON THE PRESIDENCY,
Ex-President Benjamin Harrison will
discuss 1.-The Presidential Office" very
comprehensively in his This Country
of Ours series, in the Forthcoming
February Ladies' Home Journal. He
will detail the provisions and methods
of electing a Chief Magistrate, and will
have much to say bearing upon the
eligibility of a President for re- election;
will give his views as to the length of
the Presidential term, and express
rather decided opinions relative to the
annoyance to which Presidents are sub
iected from Office seekers. The article
is practical, based upon experience and
observation, and is very timely. Gen.
Harrison believes that the fears lex
pressed by the trainers of our Consti
tution) that the power of the office is
such as to enable an ambitious incum
bent to secure an indefinite succession
of terms have never been realized. In
practice the popular opinion has limited
the eligibility of the President to one
re- election. But some of our leading
and most thoughtful public men have
challenged the wisdom of the four-year
term and have advocated six years.
usually accompanied with a prohibition
of g second term. And unless some
method IA be devised by which a less
considerable part of the four year term
must be given to hearing applicants
for Office and to making appointments,
it would be wise to give the President
by extending the time, a better chance
to show what he can do for the cOun
try. Tt must be admitted, also, that
ineligibility to a second term will give
pendence. 1t seems unlikely, however,
that any change in the Presidential
term will be made unless some unex-
pected event should stir into action a
thought that is now of a theoretical
rather than a practical cast"
