Ion, that he never saw, was the act
Of q woman he never spoke 10 or
even saw near enough 70 know
whether she was old or young. It
was out In q California canyon on q
hot summers afternoon and he was
driving slowly up steep mountain
road. On one side was a wall Of
rock and on the other the precipice
fell of into a valley perhaps half a
mile wlde Across this valley was
another road just Ike the one be
was travelling, steep, winding aud
precipitous, and so narrow that
no teams could pass except In
carefully prepared spots. On this
other road, going slowly up, just
Us he was, he saw another Wag-
on, the horses driven by o woman,
who was alone. AS the two wagons
crawled slowly up, suddenly the
man heard sharp, quick sound that
somehow startled him. lie turned

could only sit, frozen with horror
and with eyes glued 10 the opposite
hill, awaiting the end The woman
had stopped her team and sat Rs u
petrihed. It was impossible TO turn
around or even TO turn out.
Suddenly, 10 his unutterable
amaEement, the watcher saw the
woman deliberately rise In her seat,
raise her arm aud fire. There was q

simultaneously the outer Of the two
frenzied horses stumbled. fell and
pitched headlong, dragging his COM

All this had passed In q fash, the

"One Of the oldest of the English
writers upon the common law says
all law is based upon reason, and

flooded, and suits would be without

fraud is at the other end of the line
"The Assistant Attorney General
of the United States, who has charge
OF the legal msttei& relating to the

held that the publisher of a news

Scription price of newspaper which
is not legally due, accompanied by a
threat TO enforce these 80 called laws
in case of refusal to pay. Aud the
scheme of writing dunning letters

fraud the people by the pretense that

Vice Presidential Nominee of the
Peoples Parity

Peoples Party
While the wild tumult ragged in
the St. Louis convention last night
and his name was being oheered to
the echo, Hon. Thomas +. Watson
quietly slept amid the country peace
surrounding his pretty farm home in
the outskirts of Thomson. Mr.. Wat
son has the wholesome habits of the
farm and the placid Indifference of
Dick Bland. He heard the news at
the telegraph office in the afternoon
and went to his home for a nights
rest. He was not dull enough to
fail to perceive that he was squarely
in the track of the Vice Presidential
lightning. He said nothing. In
fact, the atmosphere was already
elecric with prophecy, but 1t did no,
distur bthe calm of the Honorable
Thomas Z. Watson. He has lived
in the hotbed of contest for too many
years to allow the conflict to pe-!urb
him, even when the lightning is turned
his way. So, it was chat he did not
spoil the rest of the staid operator at
Thomson last night. That operator
goes to his rest at s o'clock, and not
oven the making of Presidents and
Vice Presidents interferes with his
habits of years. He shut out, the
noisy clicking of the outside world at
his accustomed hour, blew out the
lamps and went home. He had a
sort OF feeling that when he Dame
down this ing at 7 o'clock, and
found time to get word with At
lanta,h would learn that his brilliant
fellow townsman had been named for
Vice President at st. Louis. But, in
the msantim Crest for the night.
Thus it was that last night Thomas
Z. Watson was out off from communi-
cation with the teeming world, and
slept; slept while the delegates at
St. Louis Numbered; slept while the
reward of years was coming to him
in the nature of tumultuous cheers;
slept while the men who mentioned
his name were being carried around
the hall on the shoulders of yelling
and applauding delegates; slept while
the noise echoing hall at st. Louis
was laundering tribute to his popu-
larity. He will learn of his nomina-
ton today. The Constitution tried
in vain to reach him last night. A
little after o'clock an operator spent
many a half hour trying to rouse the
operator at Thomson. His indus
trlous efforts were fruitless. Opera.
tors all along the line broke in with
the information that Thomson always
closed at s O'Clock. A message was
fired around by Augusta in the hope
that the operator might be caught
from that end. But that operator
was asleep. Tom Watson had not
deemed it of enough Importance to
keep the fellow awake. Eight o'clock
is bed time in Thomson, and some
thing of vast Importance must be in
the air to keep q citizen up later than
that hour of night. There is no more
vivid figure in Georgis public life
than Thomas E. Watson. He has
carried into his public career the gifts
of thought, of orstory, of earnest
ness and simplicity. lie first attract.
ed public attention through his ability
as a speaker. He is eloquent. He
can clothe a thought in the most
poetic words. Ia never fails to stir
up his hearers. There is a silver
ring to his words that always causes

Bryan and Watson.
PATRIOTISM AGAINST MONEY.

III bh s~AAN~ W GNoOHs
PATRIOTISM AGAINST MONEY.
The next campaign will be con.
Quoted on the basis of patriotism
against money-soul against gold.
It will be Bryan and Watson
against Mckinley and Hobart,
Mr.. sewall will decline. He will
g obliged to decline in answer to
tbs demand of the people. lie cam
not be regarded as true friend to
the silver movement, if he fails to de.
cline.
In the Chicago convention the
heart of the people was dominant
when the Democrats nominated
Bryan. The convention was drunk
with enthusiasm or something else
when it presented Sewall.for second
place.
AT st. Louis the heart vi the peo-
pie dominated the entire convention
n It's selection of Presidential
ticket.
Bryan and Watson both sprang
from the hearts of the people, and,
together they will eleotrify the ma
ton with their oratorical fervor, and
we hazard nothing when we say,that
Nebraska will have no advantage
over Georgia in forensic display.
Mr.. Sewall must decline. The
SUCCESS of silver demands it. The
impoverishment of the people cry
out aloud for it. Watson is in sym
pathy with every demand made at
Chicago. sewall is not. Let US
play honest with the people. The
idea of nominating a national bank
president on platform that repudi-
ates the national banking system, is
inconsistent with every requirement
of common honesty.
Watson is in accord with every
principle of the Chicago platform.
he says so, and he means what he
says, for he is patriot, who breathes
with the respiration of the toiling
masses.
In Nebraska, there are more Popu-
lists than Democrats-les of either
than Republicans. The same oondi-
ton exists in Kansas and other West.
ern states. Mr.. Bryan knows that
he has no chance of carrying any
Western state without Populistic aid.
Every sane man knows that, without
fusion, Democracy and silver is doom,
ed to everlasting defeat in Tennessee
and North Carolina.
Why not combine? Why not
make our wish good By bringing the
Populists back into the Democratic
partyF This can only to done on
the basis of fairness It will not do
for the Democrats to eat apple dumpl-
ing,whlle we give crow pie to the Pop
ulists. TheCommercial does not favor
such courtesy. It believes in that
whole-souled Southern and Western
hospitality, which recognizes that
there is nothing too good for the in
vited guest.
We wouldn't give Tom Watson
for the whole state of Maine--for
there is no more chance of electing
Democratic candidate in Maine, than
there is for the Democracy of the
union taking wings and flying in 3
solid body to heaven.
Give US Bryan and Watson. That
makes the issue square, and will save
the people from financial eualave-
