We do u1t tank Chairman Clay Is en-
titled 10 any credit for his letter tn which
he takes The position that IL would not be
advisable 10 have democrats choose a
senatorial candidate az the June primary
II he had written such a letter Immediate
~ after the meeting Of 1he state execu-
tive committee. when il became APPARENT
that IL was the purpose Of the sfverite
leaders 10 do their utmost 20 have the
question OF a senatorial candidate acted
upon atethat primary. he would have
won the reputation OF being far-sighted
politician But he took no steps 10 check
The folly Of the silver monome-allists IN
m i became apparent 10 about everybody
else that the senatorial primary scheme
wasn't going 70 be a success. and. Il
persisted in, would probably open the
door 20 q victory for the allied repu5li-
can and poQulist forces.
The fact that the popullsts IN Georgia
are so strong is due wholly TO those dem
ocratic leaders and papers that az frst
curried favor with the farmers alliance
when thzt organization became p0ll-i-
cal IN its character. and Afterwards help
81 70 build Up the populist party by advo-
eating the free coinage OF silver. Had
these papers and politicians stood firmly
for avowed democratic principles there
wouldn't be any need nov 10 apprehead
danger from the populists. or q combila-
ton Of republicans and Populists.
The folly has been committed. however.
and the thing TO do now is 10 adopt a
course Of action that would put the dem
oerauc party in fighting trim and bring
out a fun democratic vote
Chairman Clay has written one letter
which Will have a good effect. though, as
We have already said. he is entitled 10
no credit for IL. Now let him write an
other-a letter expressing the
opinion that in the platform
which the state convention VIII
adopt the only declaration on the money
question should be one to the effect that
the democracy OF Georgia will abide by
the financial plank Of the platform that
viii be adopted by the national democratic
convention. II Chairman Clay will write
a letter OF that kind he will receive more
credit for il than he has received, or will
receive. for his letter relative TO the sena-
torial primary. and at the same time he
VIII have the satisfaction Of knowing that
he has taken a long step towards prepar-
ing his party for fighting a victorious bat
tie In October.

Mr.. Mark Hanna, Mr.. McKinley's man
ager, says that Plat and Quay are 1.-THE
merest political babies" If so they are
noisy ones. They make more fuss in the
political world than any half dozen politi-
clans that Mr.. Hanna can name. Besides
Mr.. Plat says that before the St. Louis
convention has spoken Mr.. Hanna will find
out that he and Mr.. Quay are not pig
mics. Such an exchange of compliments
must make all three OF these gentlemen
feel that they occupy mighty big space
in the eve Of the public.

Taxation of Inheritance.
From Springfield (AIass.) Republican Nnd.)

Iowa is the latest state to adopt the
succession tax. Its new law imposes 3 per
cent. on all collateral inheritances above
$1,000. Accompanied by a tax on direct in
herItances this would be q more unob-
1ectionable measure. But IL is not so ac-
companied and this amounts 10 an act TO
discourage collateral requests, as for
charity and education and to encourage
the concentra of wealth in the fam
lily. Such seems to be a proper view of a
collateral Inheritance tax standing alone.
Those states which originally adopted the
tax have since as a rule been coupling a
direct succession tax with II.

paper says the nickname was given him
because in 1851 he wrote a series OF

There appears 10 be a disposition on the
part Of certain daily papers to pervert the
meaning OF the word news. They are
nominally newspapers. but it Is a modicum
OF real news. which may be depended upon.
that finds its way into their columns. Ap-
parently the editors Of these papers regard
as news only matters OF the most sensa-
tional nature. murders. suicides. lynch
ings. arson, train wrecking, burglaries,
and the like. and especially matters in
volving scandals Of a social and personal
nature. A little politics is run in also. But
a good deal OF it is based on nothing. and
IS designed. not TO help people to formgcor-
rect political ideas. but 70 advance the pa
per's sales The Sunday editions are filled
with pictures and stories Of freaks and
horrors. all catering to the abnormal tastes
Of their readers. one paper Of the kind
sends a woman reporter 10 spend night
in a crematory in company with dead bod
les, another has reporter ride on the
horns OF a bull and describe the sensation
and another reporter. a woman, breaks
into the dissecting room and prints a de-
scription Of how a cadaver is handled on
table. These are but suggestions of the
horrors. But they are sufficient to show
the class Of reading matter that is being
served up by such so-ealled newspapers.
This country is great and busy. Its mil
lions OF honest, hard working people are
each day making an abundance OF legiti-
mate news. Natural resources are being
developed in all parts of the country: mills
are being built mines developed. forests
brought to market in merchandise shape,
lands brought under cultivation; educa-
ton, secular and religious, Is being won
derfully promoted. and civilization is NOV
ing upon and towards higher planes. Such
matters are seldom if ever touched upon
by the highly sensational papers. There
remains, and will remain, in the mind OF
the lower classes a tendency to retrogres-
sion. liking for the sensational and sala-
cious; and upon these the publications of
the class referred 10 will prey. There is
no law under which such publications can
be dealt with. They keep just within the
limit Of the law as regards indecent publ
cations, although by suggestion it is often
violated. The only protection against
them is TO shut them out of ones house.
1t is pleasure to be able TO state that
the number Of such papers is small. and
the proportion to the whole number insig-
nificant. The great majority of the daily
| 6and weekly papers are honest, clean and
sincere. They realize that they are under
a great responsibility as public educators,
and labor faithfully 10 discharge their du-
tage TO their readers. They are builders.
The others are blood suckers and destroy
ers.
