finds from the records that the SO model

In his speechmaking tours of the country
Senator Tnlman is following precisely the
same tactics that he employed so success
fully in South Carolina. He is appealing
to every prejudice and inhaming igno-
rance wherever it is possible. The object
IS plain. Tillman means to make himself
the presidential candidate of some party;
probably not this year, but if not then GER
tainly four years hence. The statement
may seem absurd as a serious proposition
But it is true. His lieutenants know of his
ambition and are working to further it,
His success in South Carolina shows how
indefatgable a worker and how success
full an organizer he is. 1t matters not that
ne works in mud; the votes count on cleo
ton day.

This Is Democracy.

The Presidents message, vetoing
the Rivers and Harbors bill, was as
follows:
IF this bill becomes law, the
obligations which will be imposed
on the government together with
the appropriations made for i'm
mediate expenditure on account of
rivers and harbors, will amount to
about eighty millions of dollars.
"Nor is this all. The bill directs
numerous surveys and examina-
tions which contemplate new work
and further contracts and which
portend largely increased expendi-
lures and obligations.
"There is no ground to hope that
in the. face of persistent and grow
ing demands the aggregate of APP
preparations for the smaller schemes
rot covered by contracts will be re-
duced or even remain stationary.
"For the Fiscal year ending June
so, 1898, such appropriations, to-
gether with the installments on
contracts, which will fall due in
that year, can hardly be less than
thirty millions of dollars; and it
may reasonably be apprehended
that the prevalent tendency to-
ward increased. expenditures of
of this sort, and the concealment

Matthews personally is a mighty

Isaac Newton Anderson, who had
been a sufferer with lung trouble
for many years, quietly closed his
eyes in death on last Saturday,
May 30th, at about 5 o'clock p. IN.
Funeral services were held by Ed
er Il. F. Parker at the home Sun
day at O'Clock p. M, after which
the remains were followed to their
last resting place by large crowd
of friends and relatives and laid to
rest by the side of his brother and
parents, who preceded him years
ago, in the Conyers grave yard.
Newton Anderson was raised in the
vicinity in which he died, in Bath
Co., Ky. He was IS years of age
lacking two months, and a twin
brother of JnO. s. Anderson, of
this place. lie lived a single life
until he was about AZ years old,
when he was welded to Miss Mar
tina Garrard. OF this union were
born two children, who, with their
mother, survive him. He made a
confession of his faith in the fall
of 1894 and since that time has
lived in accordance with the same.
AT the very hour of death, a few
moments before he died, he was
asked by his brother George if he
recognized that he was very dan
gerOusly sick. His answer was
that he did and was ready to go.
This should be a great consolation
to the bereaved, who have the SYM
pathy of this community in their
sorrow.

ain view of the obligation i'm
posed upon me by the constitution,
IT seems to me quite clear that |
only discharge II duty to our pco-
pie when interpose my disapproy-
al Of the Legislation proposed.
MANY of the objects for which
it appropriates public money are
lot related to the public welfare,
and many of them are palpably for
the benefit If the limited localities
or in aid of individual interests.
"On the face of the bin it APP
pears that not few of these al
legged improvements have been So
improvidently planned and prose
cutcd that after an unwIse eXpen-
diture of millions of dollars, new
experiments for their accomplish
ment have been entered upon.
"Whatever il was of doubtful pro-
priety may have escaped obserya-
ton, or may have been tolerated in
previous executive approvals of
similar bills, am convinced that
the bill now under consideration
opens the way to insidious and in
creasing abuses, and is in itself so
extravagant as to be especially I'M
suited to these times of depressed
business and resulting disappoint-
ment in government revenue.
This consideration is emphasized
by the prospect that the public
treasury will be confronted with
other appropriations made at the
present session Of Congress amount
ing to more than $500, 100000.
individual economy and care
full expenditure are sterling virtues
which lead to thrift and comfort.
Economy and the exaction of clear
justification for the appropriation
of public moneys by the servants
of the people are not only virtues,
but solemn obligations.
ITO the extent that the appro-
priations contained in this bill
are instigated by private interests
and promote local or individual
projects, their allowance cannot
fail to stimulate a vicious paternal-
ism and encourage a sentiment
among our people, already too pre-
valent, that their attachment to
our government may properly rest
upon the hope and expectation of
direct and especial favors, and that
the extent to which they are real
lied may furnish an estimate of
the value of governmental care.
Il believe no greater danger con-
fronts us as a nation than the I'M
happy decadence among our people
of genuine and trustworthy love and
affection for our government as the
embodiment of the highest and
best aspirations of humanity and
not as the giver of gifts, and be-
cause its mission is the enforce
ment of exact justice and not the
allowance of unfair favoritism.
Il hope l may be permitted to
suggest Mt a time when the issue
of government bonds to maintain
the credit and financial standing
of country is the subject of crit
icism, that the contracts provided
for in this bill would create obi
cations of the United States
amounting TO sixty-two millions of
dollars, no less binding than its
bonds for that sum.
