TOM WATSON'S VIOLIN.
Used to Play for Country Dances
Down in Georgia.

Atlanta, Sept 12.-Few people are
aware that in his own county Thomas
E. Watson has a widespread reputation
as a fiddler. He has played the violin
ever since his oldest friends can re-
member. Even when he first came to
Thomson a penniless young man, that
old, well-loved fiddle came with him.
lawyer he would appeal to the old VIC
lin, and as he drew the bow across the
strings the instrument seemed to speak
to him of home and old acquaintance
and of better days.
Nor has he fOrsaken the instrument
since entering the political field His
children have inherited q talent for
music from him. His daughter per-
forms well on the piano while his son
plays the bass vioI and guitar. And
when the evening shades are falling he
loves to gather with his family in the
Darior and take his lifetime friend
from it's case and play the old familiar
airs to the accompaniment of his chill
dren on their instruments.
Some Is years ago, when he was more
frivolous than he is now, he used to
play at parties and dances. On such
occasions he was in great demand and
many q rural beauty has tripped the
light fantastic to the sound Of Tom
-Watson's famous fiddle. Imagine if
you can the Populist candidate for the
vice presidency of the United States
standing at the end of a hall in a couu-
fashioned breakdown keeping time on
the floor with his foot and calling the
numbers in a stentorian voice while
the rustic lads and lassies swing around
the room and you have Tom Watson
as he appeared Is years ago.

1t comes with bad grace for Mr.. Wat
son, a southern PopuIist, to come up to
Kansas and instruct Kansas Populists
in their duty. What has Georgia, Wat
sons home, been doing while Kansas
was electing a Populist United States
senator, a Populist governor, Populist
congressman and Populist presidential
electors?
Through all the years since 1890 the
Popuhsts of the west have been making
frantic appeals to the south to stand
by them in their fight against pluto
cracy'' but the south has gone right
ahead rolling up the customary Demo-
cratic majority. Even Watson's own
state of Georgia has done no better
than the rest and Watson himself was
elected as a Democrat to the only term
he served in congress. After he was
elected he turned Populist and he
hasn't done anything since"
The southerners have been prolific
in promises all the while but they have
at the recent state election the PopuIist
vote which was never large, fell Off
about one-half. In view of these facts,
what can the self-lauding Mr.. Watson
offer to the Kansas contingent in re-
turn for sacrificing a possibility of
eleoting a state ticket. a United States
senator and some congressman in order
that he may have a few more votes for
an office which he does not hope to get.

by Sherman and Carlisle on the silver
question and points out the incongruity
Of their positions now as compared with
that Of 10 years ago. This Is the first
friendly voice we have heard from west
ern Pennsylvania and it is encouraging
inasmuch as IL shows that thinking men
Of that section Of the east are getting
their eyes opened on the financial ques-
tions of the day. The silver cause is
growing in the east and here In he west
we should not be found wanting in any
particular AS regards this question. Let
MS be true to our convictions and not
allow ourselves to be led away from the
main issue by designing politicians who
are more interested in their own advan-
cement than they are In the wclkre Of

AT the convention OF coal miners ut
Columbus Ohio, resolution favoring
the tree aud unlimited coinage OF silver
at the ratio of 10 10 | was passed. The
plttsburg hroniclc|Felcgraph raises a
great howl at the action OF the miners
and among other things says: "The only
plenty free silver could bring To the
wage-earncr would be precisely similar
to that which would be obtained by rx-
changing dollar gold piece for SO pen
nies. The man who gave up the gold
piece would have 81 times as man,
pieces OF coin, but he would have little
more than half AS much money In his
pockets. That would be prrcb sely the
situation OF the wagc-earner with free
silver coinage The wealthy speculntor
could protect himself from loss and
make money out OF the violent huctua-
tions OF value. The wage-earner would
be heavy loser Now II the surmisc
OF the Chronicle Telegraph is correct
that in the event Of free coinage the
wage-earncr would be AZ cents loser ON
every dollar that might come into his
post ssion. while "the wealthy specu-
lntor could protect himself aud make
money out Of the violent fluctuations OF
value, why is 1t that almost to a man
the wealthy spectators are violent mon
ometalisis and are ready to spare moth
ing to defeat the enactment of such leg
isation, AS would according to the
Pitisburg paper give them an oppor-
tunlty to make money out Of evident
fluctuations of value" Does the paper
above referred to pretend to say that the
the wealthy Spectator has experienced
a change OF heart aud has at last decid-
ed TO forego the opportunity OF doubl-
ing his own capital in order TO allow the
poor laboring man chance to double

1t all came about in this way: For

Amanda Newell, both of this city,
have been sweathearts, or they had
been up to six weeks ago. Then the
fair Miss Amanda decided to discard
her slower true" for a new face. So
she left for Rock Hill, S. G., and there
she found another beau. He was not
so handsome as VIII, perhaps, and
again, not quite so kind.
At any rate Miss Amanda decided
that it would be well to ride life's
roaring, billowy sea In the boat with
her new-found lover. Arrangements
were made and everything was in
readiness for the marriage last Sum
day.
Among the invitations sent out was
one addressed to "Mr. VIII Fry, Sails

there he sought the girl that had left
him behind, and so glowing were the
pictures he painted of LIES sorrows
and joys (chiefy Of the latter, as a
matter of course) that she yielded to
his opportunities.
And thus it came to pass that Will
Fry wooed a girl and lost her; but
wooed again and won her. And this
