What a record tnis congress. republic
can congress. IS making. II IS q record
that. in the national campaign. wiz weigh
down the republican party like a mill
stone attached to.the neck Of a drowning
man.
Soon after congress met the President
il a special message. called its atten-
ton TO the necessity for legislation for the
RELIEF OF the treasury. The republican
leaders made a great show Of readiness
TO respond TO that appeal So eager. ap-
parently. wers they to respond to It that
congress took no holiday recess. The
country was treated to an exhibition Of
zeal that has been rarely. If ever. equaled.
The purpose was TO lead the country to
believe that the needs Of the treasury
were going 10 be attended to Immediately.
Wha- was needed. as the President
pointed out. was not more money. but
declaration that would restore confidence
in the purpose to maintain the soundness
of the currency and authority TO issue
a bond bearing a lower rate of interest
than per cent.
What has congress accomplished. after
having been in session three months?
Nothing. absolutely nothing.
The House passed a bill authorizing a
3 per cent coin bond. but made no declar-
alton as to the purpose of the government
TO protect the integrity of the currency.
and it passed tariff bill-a bill that was
not needed. but which the republicans
thought would help their party in the
campaign. What has become of these
bills2 The Senate passed a free silver
coinage bill a substitute for the bond
bill, and yesterday practically killed the
tariff bill by refusing to take it up for
consideration. The free silver coinage
substitute for the bond bill went back
to the House, where it was defeated by
an overwhelming majority. and that is
about the last that will be heard Of it,
Congress has labored three months ana
brought forth nothing.
Congress does not intend to do any
thing. 1t is not in a condition to legls>
late for the welfare of the country. Moth
ing is thought of except politics. Every
congressman IS figuring for a reelection,
and both parties are planning for the
approaching presidential campaign. The
good of the country is matter of minor
consideration. And for such a congress
the people are taxed millions of dollars.

i the Governor n Candidates

We are not in Gov. Atkinson's confidence
but it looks TO us as II the report
that De has decided 10 be a candidate Tor
the Senate is premature. What advantage
would IL ne 10 him at this time. If he had
reached such a decision. TO let the fact be
knowne For his purposes IL would be time
enough 10 announce his candidacy just
prior 10 the holding Of county and district
conventions for the naming Of candidates
for the TWO branches Of the legislature.
Such conventions viii not be held for sew
eral months.
If the governor should decide 10 be a
candidate for the Senate ne would inter
fere greatly with the plans Of several as
pirants for office. They assume that he
would depend wholly upon sHverites for
support. He is regarded as being a silver
tie. but il is not definitely known whether
or not he is a silverite Of the extreme sort
But it doesn't make any difference wheth-
er ne is or not. the line between the sill
verites ana those who favor sound money
will be so strictly drawn in the campaign
Of this year that there will be no middle
ground on which to stand. Those who are
not squarely for sound money will be class
cd as being against it.
While the candidacy Of Gov. Atkinson
would not interfere materially with that
of Mr.. duBigron or Mr.. Hoke Smith. the
secretary of the interior il would lessen
Mr.. Crisp's prospects for success greatly.
Popular as Mr.. Crisp is. on account Of his
long and distinguished services in con-
gress, it is doubtful if he would stand as
good a chance for getting the senatorship
as the governor would. The governor has
the reputation of being a hrst-class or
anizer and. besides, he is In touch with the
politicians in every county in the state. In
a senatorial race. therefore, running on the
free silver coinage side Of the financial is
sue, he would have a decided advantage
of Mr.. Crisp-an advantage that would go
a long way towards off-setting the latter's
popularity.
His ability as an organizer. and his ac-
quaintance with local politicians would not
be of so much advantage to him in con-
test with Mr.. duBignon and Mr.. Smith. be-
cause they would be opposed TO him on the
silver issue. Sound money men are pretty
certain to be sent to the legislature from
counties in which the sound money sentl-
ment predominates, Notwithstanding the
efforts that will be made to impose free
coinage candidates upon sound money con-
stituencies.
1t is all a matter of speculation, how
ever, as to whether the governor will be a
candidate for the Senate 1t would not be
surprising If he should not make up his
or not until he had more reliable assur-
ances than he has yet as to what his
chances for success would be.

Vice President Stevenson sat in the Sen
ate restaurant eating squash pie and milk.
At the table with him sat Senator Gordon
eating a milk stew. Somebody came along
and saw them. and said Stevenson would
be a good man for President, and Gordon
a good man for Vice President. The ques-
ton arises. suppose it had been Senator
Gordon who was eating the squash pie,
and the Vice President who was absorbing
the milk stew: would the suggestion for
the ticket have been Gordon and Steven
son, instead of Stevenson and Gordon?
What is there in squash pie and milk that
makes it a more statesmanlike dish than
a milk stew?

Republican Party and silver.
From the New York Times (Dem).

We invite attention to the fact that the
New York Tribune has within a day or
two given great prominence in its col
umns by the use of large type and triple
headlines, to such plank" as the silver
senators have in mind, a resolution ''re-
hitting all questions of finance, currency
and coinage to the people of the congress
districts for determination" and "pledg-
ing the nominees of this convention not
to interpose the executive veto, or the
power and patronage of the executive
office, to defeat any legislation with re-
spect to coinage that may be supported
by majority of the republican represent
atives and senator's in congress-" The
proposition is, in other words. that the
convention shall avoid the currency issue
and shall bind it's nominees not to veto
a free silver bill We advise those who
are watching this contest in the republi-
can party TO keep an eye on this resolu>
ton, and upon the character of the sup
port, given to Mr.. Mckinley. As for the
pending tariff bill. the republican silver
senators will continue to oppose ii. Their
power to oppose it effectively is their stock
in trade.

CURRENT COMMENT.
Questionable Authority.
From the Macon Telegraph DEM,

FTOm inc MdCUiI ItIF5I dIH NDJIIIJ
The Atlanta Constitution is authority
for the statement that President Cleve-
land contemplates calling an extra ses-
sion of congress should the regular ses-
sion adjourn without taking action on
the financial question. Any announce
ment in the Constitution as to the inten-
lions of the President can be taken with
a very considerable grain of salt.
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-02-26

The New York Evening Post prints a
long review of Maj. NcKinley's silver rec
ord. from which it concludes that he "has
been the worst sort of demagogue on
the silver question, and that he is more
responsible than any other man for the
surrender which the republican party has
made to the silver spectators" In that
case the free silverites of the south and
west ought to lean TO .he nomination OF
Mckinley. If he is a real all-wool-aad-a-
yard-wide silver demagosUe. as well as
high tariff apostle, he is about the man
TO suit some Of the free silver shouters
Of Georgia.
