1T is really strange that some Georgia
democrats insist upon taking their politl-
cal instructions from Tom Watson and
his party. Watson has already had his
populistic followers to adopt a state plat
form. before the holding of the national
populist convention. 1t seems to be the
idea in some quarters that the democrats
ought to follow suit. and make a state
platform before the national platform has
been formulated. The populist party is
the only party that has Endorsed the Is to
idea in national platform, yet there
are democrats in this state who would
force upon the democracy of Georgia the
populist idea, before the national democ-
racy has declared its policy. Is the DEM
ocrate party in Georgia lacking in brains,
that it must tag along, holding to Tom
Watson's coat-tails?

No Reason for n Change.
From the Macon Telegraph Dem.)

In every presidential year for a gen
GRAFTON Georgia democrats have had a
separate convention for the selection of
delegates to the national convention They
have felt that state and national issues
should not be complicated with each other
There is no good reason why they should
be deprived at this time of their right
to express themselves fully upon national
issues, and the time is an especially in
appropriate one for attempting to deprive
them of that privilege. Party ties set
more lightly upon men than ever before,
and no democrat should be given the
slightest excuse for disputing the verdict
rendered by the convention on the cur
rency question.

rhe Davis Monroc Doctrine.

The impression is growing in congress
and throughout the country that 1t would
be well to let the Monroe doctrine rest
where the President in his Venezuela mes
sage placed It, This is the position the
Morning News took the day after the
resolution of Senator Davis defining the
Monroe doctrine was reported from the
committee on foreign relations.
There are several reasons why It
wouldn't be advisable for congress to de-
clare what the Monroe doctrine is, one
of them being that to do so might place
upon the United States responsibilities
they do not care to assume.
The doctrine as 1t now exists can be
made to serve our purposes much better
than if there were a clearly defined declar-
alton of it. If a case should arise in con-
nection with any one of the South Ameri-
can republics which seemed to threaten
our welfare or safety, we would have an
excuse for interfering and defending our
interests. but we would be under no OBJ
legation to interfere even though the South
American states involved should ask us
to do so. If, however, we adopt such a
declaration of the Monroe doctrine as the
Davis resolution Is we might find our
selves mixed up in all the squabbles which
the South American states have with
European powers
The President and Secretary Olney I'M
doubtedly studied the situation very care
fully before the President issued his Ven
ezuelan message, and it is probable that
congress will come to the conclusion that
the wiser course is to let the Monroe doc
trine rest upon the Presidents declaration

BY the Poet Laureate.

MT EDWARD Clarence Stedman selected
the following. from among the poems of
Alfred Austin the new poet laureate, to
be published in his victorian Anthol-
ogy."
GRAVE-DIGGER'S SONG.
The crab. the bullace, and the sloe,
They burgeon in the Spring;
And, when the west wind melts the snow
The redstarts build and sing
But Deaths at work in rind and root
+ And loves the green buds best;
And when the pairing music's mute
He spares the empty nest.
Death! DEATH
Death is master Of lord and clown,
Close the coffin, and hammer it down.
When nuts are brown and seer without,
And white and plump within,
And juicy gourds are passd about
And triclxle down the chin:
When comes the reaper with his scythe,
And reaps and nothing leaves,
oh. then it is that Death is blithe, i'
And supS among the sheaYes.
Death! Death!
Lower the coffin and slip the cord
Death is master of clown and lord.
When logs about the house are stack'd
And next years hose is knit,
And tales are told and jokes are crack d,
And faggots blaze and spit,
Death sits down in the ingle-nook,
Sits down and doth not speak;
But he puts his arm round the maid that's
warm,
And she tingles in the cheek.
DEATH DEATH
Death is master of lord and clown;
Shovel the clay in, tread 1t down

Prof. Felix Adler delivered in New York
the other day lecture upon the Safe
guards Of Marriage" which embodied
what is undoubtedly the correct idea with
regard to the matter, and which is worthy
of reproduction in summarized form. The
right idea of marriage, he said, cannot
extirpate the evils of matrimony. but it
has an influence in mitigating those evils
and making married life what It should
be. Marriage either makes or mars the
life. Yet it Is often entered into with
absolute recklessness. The average period
of acquaintance before marriage in the
tenement districts of the larger cities is
four weeks. In even the middle classes
there is too little of prenuptial acquaint-
ance. The parlor conversation is not like
ly to give man or woman comprehen-
sive insight into the character of the per-
son with whom the remainder of life is
to be spent. If all of the married life was
to be spent in the parlor, that kind of &C
quaintance might suffice. But there must
come disappointments, adversely and sor-
row. veil is drawn over the character
which is not removed until after mar
riage, and then the removing of it is too
often accompanied with bitter disappoint-
ment. 1t is too late then to remedy de-
fects. The disappointments are reflected
in the divorce courts. Statistics show that
the greatest number of petitions for di-
vorce occur in the second or third year
after marriage. At that time the charm
and novelty of marriage have worn off.
The "love at first sight" has proved to be
only an outburst of the flame of passion,
the parlor manners have proved made
quate to the trials of life as hard reality,
the bargain and sale of mercenary mar
riages has imposed bonds that have be-
come unbearable.
There is. however, a reliable compass
by which to navigate the sea of matri-
mony. That compass is the human heart,
with the magnetic influence of love. Love
is founded on admiration and apprecia-
tion-admiration for the form and per-
sonal graces, and appreciation for the
mental and moral qualities. Admiration
is the foundation: marriage is the super
structure. Marriage cannot be the union
of the perfect man and the perfect wo-
man, because none is perfect. The per-
son who waits for a perfect companion
had better go at once to a monastry or a
convent. But love will smooth the rough
places in life's pathway, and hide many
blemishes of disposition. Love is not
alone for the young. 1t is for all ages,
and especially the aged. Every one should
seek to grow more lovely in the sight of
husband or wife as the years go by, and
should not forget the commonest forms
of courtesy in home life. Husbands and
wives should continue to be lovers al
ways, and ever tenderly considerate of
each other. The principal safeguard to a
continuance of love is to cultivate the
mind.

The Tree and Park Commission.

If the tree and park commission intend
to plant many trees this year they haven't
much time to waste. The time for tree
planting this spring will soon be past and
if nothing is done one year practically
will be lost. We understand of course
that the commission cannot do a great
deal until it settles upon some definite
plan of action. and reaches a conclusion
as to the kind of trees that should be
planted. Sun. there are places along the
streets and in the squares, and particular
ly in the park extension which should be
filled with trees this spring, if possible.
The commission should have more latt-
tude in the matter of expenses than they
appear to have. If they are to run to the
council every time they desire to remove
or plant a tree TO find out whether or not
money will be appropriated for the purpose
they will soon get tired of their work and
neglect it.
All of the commissioners appear to be
well qualified for their duties and anxious
to meet public expectations. An amount
sufficient to carry on their work should
therefore be put to their credit to be used
without constant consultation with coun-
Gil. If they should be extravaganza, or fail
to produce satisfactory results, it would
be time enough for council to have a string
attached to all moneys intended for beau
tifying the streets and parks.

Hon. H. D. Money, who has been elected
to the Senate from Mississippi, will not
take his seat until 1899 The reason he
was elected so long ahead Of the time Of
the beginning of the term is that under
the new constitution of the state the Mis-
sissippi the legislature will meet only once
every four years. The next session Of the
legislature will be held in 1899.

ing to pitch which will most greatly add
to the illusion. Nearly everybody in the
United States has seen the picture of a
small Cupid with the bow and arrow in
the act of shooting at an unseen heart.
The picture was admired from ono end Of
the country to the other. The original of
1t Is Miss Ida Mule as she appeared In ono
OF David Henderson's extravaganzas.
Like Julia Marlowe and many another
person who has since risen to fame in the
theatrical world, Ida Mule began her
stage career in the comic opera "Pins-
fore" In which she essayed the role of Jo-
sephine That was In Boston, where the
family lived. Her father, an excellent
musician, had intended that his daughter
should be concert singer, and SO strong
ly did he disapprove Of her effort in the
direction OF singing soubrette work that
no frankly informed her that he hoped and
expected that she would mako failure at
her first appearance. The reverse, how
ever, proved to be the case, and from that
day to this Ida Mules services have been
constantly In demand, and whatever rest
the little woman has taken has been as the
result of the advice Of a physician and not
because of any lack Of opportunity. AS
during all these years Miss Mule has been
In receipt of very large salary, she Is
now we'll provided with the goods of this
world, and besides largo bank account
owns fine estate in Mount Vernon, N.
Y, where her parents reside and keep
house for the little artistic when she Is
resting during the summer.
OF the 10 Mule children, several have
taken to the stage, and one of the girls is
an artist whose paintings have attracted
favorable attention from some Of tho most
competent critics In the country. She Is
being educated at the expense of her gen.
erous sister Ida.
1t is said that Ida Mule has played be-
fore more people than any soubretto now
prominently before the public. This Is ex-
planned by the fact that she has been con-
stantly at work and almost always with
companies which attracted largo audiences
as rule. The statement Is very probably
correct, and 1t is as greatly responsible for
the remarkable popularity of the little
singer as Is her unquestioned ability.
