THE PREACHER IN POLITICS.
Legislators Don't Want the Prayers of
Ministers Who Voted for Wright

Legislators Don't Want the Prayers of
Ministers Who Voted for Wright.
The preacher figured in politics in a
small way in the organization of the
Georgia legislature. A number of min
listers applied tor the position of chap
lain of the house. The matter of Sc
lecting or recommending a chaplain was
referred to a committee, and it was when
this committee met that the poliCics of
the preachers was brought into question
The names of the ministers applying for
the job of praying for the legislature
were Rev. j. L. D. Hillyer, Rev. Mr..
Bowden, Rev. F. 5. Hudson, Rev. Mr..
Fakes and Rev. D. w. Gwinn, of Allan
ia, and Rev. Casper Wright, of Eatonton.
From the Atlanta Journals report of
what was done by the legislature on
Thursday it is learned that 1.-THE com
mittee was under the impression that
most, if not all, of the candidates. except
Mr.. Wright, voted for Seaborn Wright
in the recent election, and as they were
anxious to reward faithful minister
who had stuck to the party they recon-
mended Mr.. Wright, and he will proba-
bly, be the next chaplain of the house,

WHERE REFORM IS NEEDED.

1t is the idea of this paper that rad
ical reform is needed in Georgia's pen
sion laws. There is neither sense snor
Justice in putting all widows Of soldiers
and all manned soldiers on the same
footing. Hundreds receive pensions
who are in no wise in need Of them
and ought not to have them. The
banker worth his hundreds of thous-
aRds and the prosperous business man
receive annually the same amount as
paupers with similar wounds. A wild
ow living in brown stone front draws
her 800 per annum with the same reg
ularity as one in a howell without a
crust of bread in her cupboard.
Let the whole business be repealed,
and then let the Legislature pass law
granting pensions to those, and only
those, who need them. Let those who
are able to support themselves do so.
Georgia protests against the federal
methods of granting pensions, and yet
she does business after the same sort.
To say nothing of the soldiers draw
ing pensions there are nearly 5000
widows already on the roll and proba-
bly, more to be added. TO grant these
500 a year takes half million dollars.
Many of them ought to have the 500
and more too, but others Of them do
not need it, and it is all waste Of pub
lie money as we'll as an imposition up
on struggling taxpayers to grant it.

FORAKER AND M'KINLEY.

There are some palpable political
tricks that cannot longer deceive the
intelligent public and should be drop
ped. One of these is just now being
tried on Major Mckinley. As is we'll
known, there has been an old rivalry
between Foraker and Mckinley in
Ohio. 1t may have been intense at
one time. Mckinley is the pride of
his state, that is of the citizens at large.
He is not a politician. Foraker is a
politician and a magnetic one and has
a strong political following but not a
stronger popular following in Ohio.
than Major Mckinley. Foraker and
Mckinley, either by a square-Out deal,
which is not likely, or a tacit agree
ment. which is probable, have patched
up their differences. Foraker has
been sent to the United States senate.
His friend, Bushnell, Foraker man.
has been placed in the gubernatorial
chair. Both these men appear TO be
satisfied and have declared, and en-
forced their declarations with innum-
cradle reiteraIions, that they are for
Mckinley for president.
But now comes the Democratic pa
perS with cOck-and-bull stories about
Il quarrel between the Mckinley and
Foraker hosts. 1t is charged that
Foraker is getting ready to throw down
Mckinley at ST. Louis and form n COM
bination which will give the nomina-
ton for the vice presidency to him
self. \ conservative and hiGh-claSs

both with the politicians and the peo-
pie than John Sherman. He is deeply
sincere and honest. and even those poll
ticianS in Ohio who are not with him
respect him too much To prove Ueach-
erouS to him. Such a man who can
demand such respect is unusual in poll
ties, it is true, but in this respect Nc
kinley is an unusual figure in politics.
However that is not to the point. The
Democratic papers do not believe the
stuff they are printing. They are pub
fishing it with the hope of creating dis

But A BLUFF.

England gave the world to under
stand that she greatly diSapproyed
JameSOn'S attempt to massacre the
peaceful people of the Transvaal. Mr.
Joseph Chamberlain was quite vehe-
ment in his indignant protests and was
prompt in summOning the hero of the
expedition home for punishment as
soon as the expedition had failed and
his hero a prisoner. Now, however,
that Jameson is safe on British soil,
the law officers of the crown claim that
they are unable TO find any olfense in
the English law on which he can be
tried either civilly or criminalIy.
That conclusion is characteristic.
Jameson made a failure of his free
bOoting expedition. That condemned
him in the opinion of Englishmen who
think that a land-grabbing scheme is
all right if it wins. The government
made a great bluff about Furnishing
him. Now it pretendS that there is
no legal charge on which he can be
tried. There will probably be an in
veStigatiOn, several gowned judges will
look very wise, the matter will drift
along for a few weeks. and then Jane
son will be released with a suggestion
that the next time he sets out 10 grab
he grab it.

with Dewsbury in this sort of produc-
ton, and we are glad of ii. 1t is true
that under the pressure Of the new
tariff, some Of our producers have
recently attempted a competition in
this pernicious line of manufactures.
but it is ludicrously futile. Suscess,
however. in such an attempt would be
disgrace. The attempt is itself Il
dishonor, which is only mitigated by its
failure.
This, then, is the "cheap goods" that
the Democrats promised the people as
the result of their tariff experiment
along the line of modified free trade
Such cheap goods" means poor goods
and poorer men. 1t means lower
wages abroad and no wages at home
This odious tariff policy is premium
upon foreign dishonesty. and a tempta-
ton to an equally deSpicable imitation
among our own producers. No higher
compliment could be paid 10 the Re
publican tariff system than TO say that
under it such cheap goods" was not
liable to get a footing in the American
markets.

| concede that a newspaper cannot play
the personal role Of the individual.
The newspaper must speak the mind
of the many, reflect the convictions Of
the majority, or by just SO much fail
of the commentator of the great body
of the people who are for measures
rather than men. Unfortunately party
leaders and party policies do not al
ways conform TO party principles. The
hope OF this nation, of its people, politi
cally and materially, is in the Repub-
lican party, in the principles laid down
in its national platform, not in its in
dividual aspirants to office, which as
pirants in local contests, twist, add to,
and subtract from the fundamental
doctrines of the party to that extent
that the national party is not only
embarrassed but sometimes defeated.
With laws and president conforming
TO the principles Of the national Re
publican party, individual freedom and
material prosperity are as sure as that
the rising of a summers sun will warm
and fructify. If Governor Morrill, of
Kansas, or the Republican governor Of
any other state, pursues policy which
tends TO distract his party he thereby,
just so far. jeopardizes the success of
the principles laid down in the Repub-
lican national platform, which would,
in being successful, conserve the polid-
cal and material interests Of the people
and the country as a whole.
The Eagles independence in matters
of party pOlity, and Of official surveil-
ance or patronage, does not mean that
it is unmindful of underlying princi-
piles, or that it does not hold itself
amenable to them, but on the contrary,
that it is bound to hold to its Repub
lican convictions despite that policy,
whatsoever, involving the chances of
a local candidate, or even the political !
fortunes Of an aspirant TO guberna- |
tOrial honors.

A SOUND SILVER BANKER.

William p. st. John, the president of
the Mercantile National Bank of New
York City, one Of the greatest and
most solid banks in the country, is a
free silver man. He has confronted
every national gathering of bankers for
years with silver propositions, which
the gOldbug members have only
answered by lodging them with ST
lence. The Eagle is in receipt of n
circular from President st. John in
which he offers to bid on the forth
coming issue of bonds for anyone wish
ing to invest. He proposes to furnish
such bidder with the necessary gold
and not to draw it from the treasury.
There is patriotism for you, and the
act of 4 man which proves that he
means what he says. All he asks for
doing the work and managing the bids
and supplying the gold is commits
sion of "A Of 1 per cent on the amount
of the bonds he thus secures, just
enough to cover the time and expense.
Those who would Ike some of the
issue as a permanent investment and
who haven't the gold can place their
business in the hands of st. John, as
sured that it will be all right.
