The democrats OF Georgia have just
been scared almost out Of their wits by
fear Of another election for governor. yet
the democrats or Kentucky are said to be
working as hard as over they can for the
very purpose of bringing about an extra
election for governor. 1t is said that the
silverites in the legislature who voted for
Blackburn for senator in the last session
have about agreed among themselves to
vote for Bradley, the republican governor
for senator, in order that they may put
Blackburn up for governor at an extra
election Those people must be anxious
to put Blackburn away on so high a shelf
that he will never be able to crawl down.

OF course, Capt. Howell is eminently
satisfied with the outcome of the senatorial
caucus. There will now be no extra cleo

One Term Eor Gorernnr-

The bill introduced by Mr. Webb of
Cherokee, making the gubernatorial term
four years and the terms of members of
the general assembly four years is wor-
thy of very careful consideration. Mr..
Webb's bill also provides that the gov
ernor shall not be eligible for reelection.
and that the legislature shall meet bien-
nially.
We have altogether too many elections.
Besides costing the people great deal of
money, the elections greatly interfere
with business. One political campaign is
not much more than over before another
is begun. A very large part of the time
of the people is taken up with state poll
tics.
AT present, as oIr. Webb points out,
governor is almost invariably given a
second term. He has therefore two
terms, the second being an Endorsement of
his administration for his first term. If
a governor is to have two terms
of two years each, why not give
him four year term at once, and
save the trouble and expense of one cleo
four years and was ineligible for re-elec-
ton he would not be influenced in MAX
ing his appointments by the desire to put
into office men having political influence
in their respective localities rather than
men qualified to serve the people. He would
feel free to give his whole time to his
official duties. His aim would be to make
a good record rather than to serve the
party leaders who could help him get a
second term.
The legislature meets too often. A
fifty-days session once every two years
would be all the time necessary for maxi
ing such laws as the interests of the
people of the state demand. A great deal
of the time of the legislature is wasted.
1t is frittered away upon local bills, many
Of which are intended to benefit local po-
litical factions.
The present legislature has been in ses-
sion three weeks, and, beyond electing
! judges, solicitors general and United
States senator, what has 1t
done? Comparatively nothing. The
end of the session will soon
be reached, and the record of it will
show that only few local bills and the
appropriation bills have been passed. It
does not now look as IL anything would be
done towards solving the convict problem
or in settling any other matter of SUI
preme Importance to the whole state

and also the legislatures of other states.
but if there is a way for the people to
get better returns for their money there
ought to be no hesitation in adopting It.

1t is reported that Ellery NJ. Brayton
the republican boss and whip in South
Carolina, will endeavor to have the states
representation in congress reduced to ac-
cord with the vote cast in the recent cleo
ton. It is claimed that the new constitu-
ton OF the state DISTINGUISHES $4,000 ne
gro voters. There are about 10000 adult
male negroes In the state, and not more
than 1900 of them were able to vote in
the last election. Brayton will contend
that if these negroes are not to be per-
mitted to vote there is no ground upon
which TO send representatives to congress
for the proportion OF the claimed voting
population which they represent. To de-
prive the state Of congressional represen-
tatives for 1880 voters would reduce tho
states delegation from seven members to
three.

Georgia Democracy and Free Silver.
From the New York World Dem)

The official figures show that the vote
in Georgia fell from III, 666 cast for Cleve-
land and Harrison together in 1892 to
l5l3l cast for Bryan Mckinley and
Palmer AS the republican vote. GO19i
shows an increase of 11,SS6 over 1892 the
decrease is altogether in the democratic
vote. While Cleveland got 129. 1861 votes,
Bryan got only 1922. a decrease Of 5000
AS the normal democratic increase in
Georgia is about 10000 in four years the
democratic candidate for President ought
to have got at least 10000 votes At least
half the $1,000 populists must have voted
for Bryan. This makes the number of
actual democrats who voted for him
about 10000. II is, therefore. very con-
sentative estimate to put the democratic
detection from free silver in Georgia at
$1,000, or more than half the party
II one-third the democrats, who did not
vote at all, had voted for Mckinley the
state would have chosen sound money
electors. AS 1t was, more than half the
democratic party showed its disapprovaI

from the polls.

A BIC LABOR MOVEMENT,
Some of the Objects and Purposes
of the Late Union Con-
vention.
The Socialists Will Gladly Join the
New Workingmen'S
Party.

The preliminary work of the recent Ia
Dor union convention is still a theme of
conversation among the laboring classes.
The proposition for the laboring men to
enter politics as an organized body is such
radical departure from all previous
movements that it has caused much serious
thought and discussion. Those who have
always affiliated with the old parties look
with some question upon the policy OF
making such move, and this conserva-
tism may be manifest at the next meeting
of the convention.
There are few of the conservative ele-
ment who it is expected, will attempt to
call a halt in the course being pursued
One of these last evening stated that while
he was in favor of everything in the order
of reform and progress, he feared that
there would be those who would oppose
any further attempt to take labor unions
into politics. He said that it would be
difficult to take many men of many politi-
cal parties and join them In one party, and

CUSTOM-HOUSE SCANDAL
Moore Still Hunting Up Evidence
Against Interpreter
Williams.
w. w. Foote and Assistant District
Attorney Schlessinger Have
War of Words.

There were few developments in the
Custom-house scandal yesterday. Special
Agent Moore and staff are still hard at
work hunting up evidence against the ac-
cused interpreter, Richard Williams.
Moore and Collector Wise had a long
conference yesterday afternoon. 1t was
all over the Williams affair. Several wit
nesses gave testimony relative to Will
liams' connection with the landing of
Chinese girls at this port. There was
nothing more damaging against the in
terpreter than the stories that have already
been made public. Anyway, there is
general belief in Federal circles that Will
liams' official career, so far as the Custom
house is concerned, is at an end. Now that
he has been temporarily retired, pending
the consideration of the evidence in the
case by secretary Carlisle, there is little
hope that he will ever be restored to the
full confidence of the Government authori-
ties. The case is now virtually in the
hands of Special Agent Moore.
The case of Martin Moore came up be-
fore United States Commissioner Hea-
cock as was expected yesterday morning,
and went over for one week. The contin-
uance was at the request of the special
agent, who is anxious to have the case
brought before the Grand Jury for investi-
gatlon. he may also make the same effort
in connection with the Williams matter

sion in the office of the latter over the
Cleary case yesterday morning. The emf
nent attorney accused the Government
prosecutor with attempting to smother
the case SO that the defense would be un-
able to present its witnesses.
This insinuation the young attorney in
dignantly repudiated, and for little time
there was hot exchange of words Mr.
Schlessinger's friends, about the Federal
building entertain only the highest opin-
ion OF him as fair and impartial admin.
istrator OF justice, and consequently the
reflection cast upon him was widely dis
cussed among them.

simply as matter OF form:
This was objected TO. 1t was thought
that the simpler and more direct way
would be to require any persons making
charges 10 furnish two copies, one ior tne
council and one for DR.. Brown, and then
give him twenty-four hours, or any other
proper time, to answer them. The vii

The council then adjourned, notice be-

to hear charges would meet at once in DR..

waiting for some minutes. No one ap-
peared and they also adjourned.
In the leCture-room large part OF the
audience or congregation remained for
some time discussing the events of the
evening. DR.. Browns hand was shaken
many times by men and women.
Miss Overman was also greeted more or
less cordially by many as they passed.
She looked up courageously at councilmen

during the evening session, remained
until nearly the last, together with a

Brown was told that Mrs. French, over
