The DISTRICT COMMITTEE.

THE News publishes elsewhere re-
port of the proceedings of the district
executive committee at Albany Satur-
day. The committee was dominat-
ed by the single gold standard
element, and they sat upon every
move of the minority with
a regularity and a unanimity that
showed they were determined to take
every advantage afforded them by their
superior numbers to promote their own
interests regardless of how it affected
the party. The good of the party
seems to have been a minor considera-
ton.
More than one mistake was made Sat
urday, but it is not our purpose, now.
to complain or to find fault. THE
News, in common with the other advo-
Gates of the restoration of silver as a
money metal, who compose the larger
part of the democrats of the second
district, accepts the edict that has gone
forth from majority of these repre-
sentatives of the party. The oppo-
nents of gold monometalIism now
know what they will have do and the
time in which they will have to do 1T,
and the only effect will be to increase
their determination, renew their ener-
gies and spur them on to greater ac-
tiyity, making certain victory more
certain. The cause of bimetallism is

MIR. CRISP AND TIE PRIMARIES.

The Atlanta Journal, with few
other disgruntled so-called democrat
ic papers, would have the public be-
lieye that Hon. Charles F. Crisp is
wholly responsible for the primaries
called for the 9th of June. No unfair
er judgment could be rendered.
There has been in the public mind
for years an idea that senator's, judges
and solicitors should be elected by the
direct vote of the people. This idea
had so fayOrably gained ground that a
bill making United States senators
elective by the popular vote was intro
duced into the United States congress
and reported, by the committee to
which it was referred, with the recon-
mendation that it be passed. Having
a desire and a laudabIe ambition to
represent Georgia in the United
States senate, Charles F. Crisp, the
foremost democrat of the south, almost
the first democrat OF the nation, wish
ing to know if the people of Georgia
favored his candidacy, asked the state
executive committee to appoint some
date upon which the people could ex.
press their choice for senator. He sug-
gested no time, but simply expressed a
desire to know the will of the people,
hoping by this means to elevate the.
election of senator above political
jugglery and demagogy, believing that
Georgians still hold to the idea of
"vox pOpuli, yox Del" But for this
frankness, this honesty with the honest
voters of Georgia, he has brought down
pom his otherwise honored and
brilliant career the anathemas of those
who differ with him in his financial
views, and who would annihilate the
democratic party of the country rather
than fail in their effort to force the
gold standard with all its concomitant
evils upon us. For this it is asserted
that Crisp desires "snap" Judgment.
The date appointed for general pri-
mary in the state was not of Mr..
Crisp's choosing, but the selection was
made by the state executive commit
tee, the only power known to THE
News for making such appointments.
Can any man give a reason why the
time and manner of expressing the
will of the people is not as fair to Mr..
duBignOn, or any other aspirant, as to
Mr.. Crisp! Some county committees,
truculent to those in authority and
willing to throttle the voice of the
people, have refused to be obedient to
the mandates of the state committee,
and have thus brought confusion and
discord where harmony should have
prevailed. And those newspapers that
oppose the time would destroy every
bulwark of democracy. They raise a
hypOcritical cry and cant for harmony,
but they want harmony only on the CON
dition that they can force the opinions
and policies of those they serve upon
the people,
No unfairer methods to prejudice
public opinion against ar honest, up
right and conscientious citizen were
ever used than those now being en-
ployed against Charles F. Crisp. They
are unworthy the heads and hearts that
advocate them.

OFFENSIVE PARTlSANS.
Canadian OfhoiaIs Bounced for Per.
niciOus Activity.

Washington, Oct 1.-THE action Of the
Canadian government in Diminishing three
cranslators attached to the reporting corps
the house, on account Of their offensive
craftsmanship during the election that re-
ulted IN the defeat of Sir Charles Upper,
mas been considerably talked of In local Of
fetal circles, in view of the reports that
certain ~oficeholders were likely to feel the
weight OF the presidents displcasure as a
.-esult Of their activity IN the present po-
Iit.cal strife. Reports and copies Of the de-
bate received from Ottawa show that the
Laurier administrator has simply fol-
Uwed precedent IN It's action, the coascr-
yat.ye government IN 1883 having dismissed
three liberal transiaCors for Interference
IN the election. and in supporting this ac-
ton the house decided that tine transla ;ors
are IN the same position as all c,v.l SER
wants and should expect TO pay the PEN
atty for taking part in politics. 1t IS a
peculiar fact hat the three men just DIS
missed at Ottawa were appointed III lSsS
to the vacancies oocasioned by the GUST
ing of as many offensive partisans at that
time. The Canadian authorities have fur
n,shed a valuable pointer to the advocates
Of a strict Interpretation Of civil service
rules, and one that Is likely TO have It's
effect under similar conditions IN this
country.

Dorian Gray glanced at the picture, and
suddenly an uncomfortable feeling of hatred
for Basil Hallward came over him. The
mad passions Of u hunted animal stirred
within him, and he loathed the man who

glanced wildly around. Something glim-
mered on the top of the painted chest that

what 1t was. 1t was a knife that he had
brought up, some days before, to cut a piece
