The politician in Politics.

Politics IN Georgia IS getting lively, and
somewhat mixed. There is not only a
very wide difference Of opinion in the
democrats party on a great national is
sue. but in very many Of the counties
and cities there are chasms opening which
threaten 20 engulf the party. In some 10
calities the less a mans fealty 10 the true
principles Of democracy the better his
chance for success in getting into Office.
These asDirants. Of course. must claim
to belong 70 the democratic party. or
otherwise they would be showed under.
The practical democratic politician in
Georgia and other southern states for
that matter. has no politics worth speak
ing Of. He compromises with the re-
publicans. sides with the whisky men,
and buys the negroes with great prom
ises and little cash. He is for silver
in the country. and gold in the city;
he IS for a reform tariff among business
people and a protectionist when he talks
10 trades union people. He is an A. p.
A. or Catholic sympathizer, as the oc-
casion demands. He is a weak democrat
amongst the populists. and never says
anything against that party when he can
avoid it. The fact is. in the present
condition Of politics in the south, the
average democratic candidate accepts
every political creed, and only stops short
Of being an avowed republican, or an out
and out populist. We are speaking Of
democratic politicians not democratic
statesmen. Fortunately for the country.
there are still good percentage Of hon
est straightforward, able democrats in
Office who keep the party from going to
the bad. There is honor in being a
democrat of the Cleveland, Turner or
Carlisle stamp. and the people know how
to show their appreciation Of their in
tegrity and honesty of purpose by plac-
ing them IN the front rank of the party.

Ham of Georgia needs to look to his
laurels. A new descriptive word has been
added to the political vocabulary. A Buff
falo politician the other day. referring to
the candidacy of Gov. Morton, spoke Of
him as an "old goddlewoddle. who could
not hold up a baby carriage with a good.
healthy Irish woman behind it." The term
seems to mean a played-out, back-number
politician. who imagines that his popu-
larity and his pull are as great as they
ever We're. There are good many goddle-
woddles as well as snoieygosters an poll
dics this year.

The one-Cent "A VILE Rate.

In securing a 1-cent-a-mile rate from
all Georgia points outside fifty-miIe ra-
dius of Savannah, for the May military
festival, the association has accomplished
more toward the success of that occasion
than has been accomplished by any other
single movement it has made. 1t is the
people who live nearby that are coming
TO Savannah in numbers, aud with an in
ducement to visit the city at a minimum
cost an opportunity that it too infrequent-
" presented, the crowd must necessarily
be larger than has been the case on any
festival occasion in years. The one-cent
rate is a concession from the railroads
which should, and will. be appreciated
IL was due to the passenger agents of the
railroads centering here that it was Sc
cured But with this great forward step
Of securing low rates neither the associa-
ton nor the railroads will be content
They will publish in every corner Of the
state that the rate has been secured. and
that Savannah will offer during the week
an entertainment that will more than re-
pay all visitors.

In 1870. when silver coinage was free.
the average OF annual wages paid in this
country was SZss9a IN 1870. also when
silver coinage was free-the times 10 which
the silverites wish the country 10 revert
the average was SsO2oS. Ten years
later. after silver had been demon
euzed' seven years. the average OF annual
wages had bounded Up 10 1851. and in
lsa0 had sun further increased 10 $fl4.sg-
This is a most remarkable showing. in the
face Of the claim made by the free silver
advocates, that everything men have 10
sell has deprecated in value. while gold
has increased in value. There is not so
much OF anything else as OF labor in this
country that is in the market. II has
been claimed that the effect Of the opera
tions Of the present money system has
been TO depress the market for labor, and
to grind the laborer's face" The facts
as quoted above, gathered from official
statistics and announced by Mr.. Carroll
ID. Wright, the well known statistician,
50 TO show just the opposite. The wage
Garner not only receives more money for
his labor now than he has ever done be-
fore, but he gets more for his money.
In the years gone by his money had a fiuc-
tuating value. He did not know one day
What his dollar would be worth the next.
Now every dollar he receives is worth
100 cents. 1t is gold, or as good as gold,
and is worth its face value at home or
abroad
These wage earners, the people whose
average annual earnings have been in
creased from 1902 in 1870 TO $l44 in 1880. are
included among the people Congressman
Crisp referred TO in his Augusta speech
the other day as persons with fixed in
comes" The mechanic who earns his 81
a day wages is just as much a person
with fixed income" so long as he is at
work for a stated sum, as the banker who
clips coupons. Such persons, Congress
man Crisp admitted, might be hurt by
the enaeting Of the 16 to l idea into law.
Are the wage earners getting too much
money? Are they living too well? Has
the operation of system under which
every dollar of the money IS as good as
gold, made them too fat and saucy? They
get about one-third more in amount for
their work now than they got in 1870, and
each dollar will buy considerably more
than a dollar would buy then; is the
workingman having too good a time? 1t
would seem that some folks thought so,
from the assault that is being made upon
the wage Garner by the cheap money adj
=
the dollar half in two, for the benefit Of
the silver mine owners. 1t may be de-
pended upon that wage earners-"persons
with fixed income" as Mr.. Crisp calls
them-will not submit to any such thing.

why Mnter Pipes Burst.

Savannah was not troubled by bursting
water pipes last winter for the reason
that there was no weather cold enough to
freeze the water in the pipes. There is
weather almost every winter, however,
cold enough, and some winters
there is pretty general bursting
of pipes. Such a condition of af-
fairs brings about a water famine
almost. and also imposes a very heavy
expense upon house owners.
A gentleman from Pennsylvania, visit
ing here. hearing that the people
of the city suffered from bursted
water pipes whenever there was a spell
of very cold weather. was greatly sur
prised that they should be troubled in
such way. In his town in Pennsylvania
the bursting of water pipe is al
most unknown. He said that some of the
water pipes in his factory are above
ground. The water in them freezes so
hard that hot stones have to be used to
melt the ice, but the pipes never burst,
even in the very coolest weather. The
conclusion he reached was that the water
pipes put into houses in this city are very
thin, and the material in them is of in
ferior quality.
Inquiry of plumbers of this city con-
firms this view. Water pipes of standard
thickness and quality, such as are used
in northern cities. are not used here. II
they were Savannah wouldn't be troubled
with bursted water pipes.
A Savannah plumber says that the rea-
son a better quality of water pipes is not
used here is that competition is so close
that in order to get any work the use OF
cheap material is necessary.
Those who are willing to pay
for good water pipes need not
be annoyed by bursted pipes
They Will find the better pipes
much cheaper and great deal more sat
isfaetory in the long run than the cheaper
ones. The first cost would be somewhat
greater, but the saving in expense for re.
pairs would much more than overbalanct
the extra cost, and the risk of a water
famine would be avoided. There are q
few house owners in the city who had the
good Judgment to put first-class water
pipes into their houses and they are never
annoyed by bursted pipes. No amount OF
competition can prevent man from put
ting the best of everything into his house
1t is simply a question of cost.

blue is a HoOdOO.

Wear that blue costume? Well, guess

blue quartette in the march has gone
through. OF course, there may be nothing
The sixteen girls taking part in the
march are divided into quartettes, one
wearing pink, nnother yellow, third
white and the remaining four girls dressed
in blue. Well, a few weeks ago one of
the blue girls got into trouble and was
arrested at Terrace Garden for borrowing
watch without first obtaining permission
OF the owner. Everybody connected with
the theater was much shocked A couple
OF nights later another member of the blue
quarlette suddenly was taken sick Just
before the march went on and had to
be carried to the hospital in an ambu-
lance. At this second occurrence the girls
began to whisper that the blue costumes
brought hard luck, and when the very next
night third member of the quartette
came within an ace of having her left eye
put out by a sword carried by the leader
of the march, being accidentally jabbed
in her face just above the eyebalL an
open revolt followed, and it was with great
difficulty we could get girls to wear the

How Is Thiss

II would be interesting to have Mr.. Crisp
state his position clearly on the silver
question. He talks so much at random
that it is doubtful if even his most ardent
admirers could tell exactly what his views
on that question are. In his speech at
Albany he is reported to have said:
These men who oppose silver dwell
upon 16 to l. The ratio is not the question.
We say restore the conditions prior to 20.
Try it and see If free coinage doesn't re-
store the value of the silver bullion TO that
Of gold" IN this connection Mr.. Crisp is
also reported as having said that the dem
ocratic party always favored silver and
that the populists had stolen their silver
plank.
The populist silver plank is 16 to l, and
yet Mr.. Crisp says the ratio is not the
question. If it is not the question what
does he mean by saying the populsts have
stolen the silver plank of the democrats?
Again, if the populists pilfered their sill
yer plank from the democrats, what dem
ocratic platform did they steal it from?
There is no 16 to 1 plank in the last ma
tlOAhi uelhuCIdllC pldllOIllls Ut any oAueI
democratic platform, as far as we know.
But the funny feature in Mr.. Crisp's sill
yer talk is the belief he expresses that
if our minis were opened to the free coin
age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 the
bullion in silver dollar would have the
same commercial value as the bullion in
a gold dollar. He has no reasons for think
ing SO, apparently. because he gives none
that are satisfactory He simply says
try it and see If it wouldn't Mr..
Crisp glibly advises the country to try an
experiment that would bring wreck and
ruin-would wreck all enterprises and
ruin all business-in order to test the
question whether or not belief he holds
is correct-a belief for which he doesn't
give any satisfactory reason. And he
doesn't even show that if his belief should
prove to be correct the country would be
benefited in the least. Mr.. Crisp's be-
liefs may do for people who want to be
amused and not convinced, but when he
addresses thoughtful audiences he should
put more reason and less nonsense in his
speeches.

The democratic executive committee Of
Putnam county ordered a senatorial prl-
mary in June "in obedience to the order
of the state committee" The state COM
mittee made no such order At the
meeting of the state committee, however,
it was resolved that "a copy OF these reso-
lutions," embodying the actions of the
committee. "be sent to the chairman of
every county democratic executive COM
mfttee" Was the order contained in that
resolution complied with? If it was, it
is passing strange that the Putnam coun-
ty committee took action "in obedience"
to orders that were never given. If it
was not, why was it not?
1t appears that there is con-
siderable under the surface in this
June primary business. especially in so
far as regards the senatorship. A sufi-
cient number of counties, however. have
repudiated the June senatorial primary to
make the whole thing farce. And
great many more of them are going to
repudiate it.

After travelling around in a circle, Mr.
Crisp once more comes to the point reached
by the Augusta Chronicle some months
ago, that free coinage at l6 to l would
be only an experiment, and if that expert
ment should be found disastrous. some
thing else could be tried. In this matter,
however, the people want no experiment
ing. They have had too much of that
kind OF thing already.
