THE convict question, which has per~

lanta the past few days, will soon be no
question at ALL By careful perusal of
the testimony published it appears that
the convicts of Georgia are not so badly
treated as some of the tender-hearted
placemen,would have us believe, and that
their lot in life is not so very much
worse than the laborer whom necessity,
rather than the law, compels to continue
at hard work.

STAND FIRM.

The Albany Herald counsels the BIZ
metallists of the second district in the
following wise, truthful and timely
words:
If the democrats of the second con-
gressional district who favor the "free
and Unlimited coinage of silver at the
ratio of 16 to ~ stand together and don't
commit some fool blunder that would be
equivalent to political suicide, there is no
more chance for the goldbugs to elect the
next congressman from this district than
there would be for them to dam Flint
river and stop it's flow with a rope of
sand. The friends of free silver coinage
of this district need not be driven to the
expedieney OF taking a straddler, either.
They can nominate and elect man who
occupies no middle ground on the money
question if they only stand firm and re-
fuse to let the enemy divide them into
factions. That the sentiment of the loyal
dem 'crats of this district is Overwhelm~
ingly in favor Of the restoration of silver
to it's place as one of the standard money
metals of this country there is no doubt,
and nothing but laundering stupidity on
the part of the majority will make ii
possible Tor any man who favors the
single gold standard policy of the pres
ent administration to procure the demo,
cratic nomination of the district. Let
the friends Of silver stand firm and make
no compromising promises or alliances.

"a Revolutionary Movement Alarms the

New YORK, Dee. "A special cable
dispatch to the Herald from Buenos
Ayres says:
The Herald's correspondent in Mon
tevideo, Uruguay, telegraphs that the
government is now thoroughly
alarmed at the momentum which
the revolutionary movement has
obtained. 1t has been learned
that the departments in the
northwestern part OF Uruguay
Salto, Paysendu and Artjgas, will soon
declare in favor of the rebellion. and
that the leaders delegated by the peo-
pie Of those departments will rcnde2-
vous with their forces at Concordia, in
Entire Rios Argentina, just across the
river Uruguay.
At this point there are many per-
sons, including not only Uuruguayans,
but citizens of Argentina, who are in
sympathy with the revolt.
No further encounters have occurred
in Uruguay, and it is believed that the
insurgents are awaiting the new in
vasion from the Argentine frontier be-
fore again risking a battle.

Christmas Greeting
to You
One and All.

We take it for granted that your
hearts are in the right place this year,
lust as they always have been in the
past, and that you feel the same gener-
GUS desire to remember those you love
with appropriate and desira BILE Christ
mas gifts this season, as heretofore.
We know that in nearly every individ-
ual instance there is one obstacle that
seems to bar the way to gift making,
and that is the scarcity of money. Inc
times of late have been undenlably
hard, and few, if any, have escaped the
i'll effects of this unfortunate condl-
ton, therefore, the situation with you
is like this: You feel the same old de-
sire to make your relatives and frlends
appropriate gifts; the feeling is just as
strong as ever, but the means at your
command seem to fall short of the
needs of the occasion. That is why we
wish to make our Holiday Announce
ment, this year, particularly a talk to
your pocket books.
We are going to be the peoples SAN
ia Claus, this season, just as far as the
inexorable laws of business will per-
nit, by selling you Christmas gifts OF
all kinds at the lowest scale of prices
kno wn to the trade. We are going to
make your money far-reaching and
profitable in the exchange Tor Chrlst-
mas gifts. What though your dollars
are few--we will make them go farther
than every before. We want you to
come in and see how little it takes to
secure suitable and appropriate gifts
for those you desire to remember.
For weeks past we have laborei IN
dustriously to prepare for the Holiday
Trade, and our store is now fairly
shining with beautiful array OF
Christmas Gifts. We are strong in the
belief that every Holiday shopper who
visits our store will be sure to find lr-
resistibe attractions among our great
variety of pretty and appropriate gifts.
Special pains and much careful consid-
Grafton was expended to make the col
lection of Christmas Goods one which
should include something really desir-
able for every individual, from the
Youngest to the oldest. We have made
it a point to have great variety in goods
of all prices, ranging from the merest
trihe upwards, in order that you may
make good selections at any price you
may feel able to pay. Having thus
smoothed the way for all classes of
buyers by grading and asserting our
stock in such q way as to meet the
needs of those who have little as we'll
as those who have much to spend, and
having marked all our goods at the
lowest possible figures, we feel that
we deserve your patronage.
Hoping TO see every reader at our
store at an early day, we remain.
