"Second-The division In the autono-
mist party makes its support unreliable
just when the government wants it to
be the corner-ston of the new regime.
-'Third-The ambiguous attitude of
the so-called Spanish party-the con-
stitutional union-make mischief, as its
prcffered support is conditional on the
government making no large extension
of the electoral franchise, as that would
deprive it of.the control of the munich
pal and provincil councils and the con-
sular assem- bly,.
"Fourth-The creating of local as
semblv with responsible executive is
exceedingly unpopular in Spain, and is
com mbated even by influential liberals

Impartial.
"Fifth-Military men share the opin-
ion of Generals Blanco and Parade that
rigid military occupation of the four
western provinces of Cuba and very rig
id operations in the two eastern prov
inces are indispensable to cpmplete paci-
6cation, and can produce results in few
months, if the United States stops en-
tirely sending expeditions and all other
assistance to the insurgents.

on top of the $40O, 900, 900 already spent
will force Spain to pledge the resources
of the penInsular revenue to raise money
to go the pace in Cuba.
'Hence the anxiety of the court and
the government to secure the good will
of the United States, which is shown in
the adoption of new colonial policy,
in making promises to settle the Ameri-
can claims after pacifcation, and hold
ing out a prospect of advantages for
American trade and American capital in
the West Indies.
''Views on these delicate matters are
being exchanged between the two gov

none of them will be placed officially on

Leading Kansas Populists have sent
Mr.. Donnelly the sad intelligence, that
Mrs Lease doesn't need any Decent
help, that she is electioneering in New
York on a big salary and is able to
wear silks and sstins and diamonds
and live at fashionable New York
city hotel" These Kansas Populists,
whose wives, probably don't wear satin
and diamonds, added that Mrs Lease
was able to minRle with the nabobs
she had for years denounced in the
choicest expletives at her command and
that, oh, unhappy woman, she seemed
not to dislike the COMMENCEMENT.
And so another doll is stuffed with
sawdust. Alas for too confiding Igna-
titus! Alas 70" misguided Mary Ellen!
Alas, too, for Kansas Populism whose
high priestess has mingled with the
enemy"
This is very contemplate to the last
degree. Mrs. Lease is not only poor,
but very poor; she is not lecturing on a
big salary in New York, but there in
hope that change of climate may bene-
fit her young daughter, who is exceed
ingly sick and in danger Of death. Mrs
Lea e, herself, writes us that her own
health is failing, and that she contem-
plates removing to the state of Wash
ington on account of the milder climate
When q lady is engaged to lecture
before large aud possib' y fashionable
audience she is expected to wear at
least decent apparel. The contempti-
BILE dog who is writing these letters
against her, would perhaps like to see
her appear on the stage of an opera
house; clad in straw hat and gunny
sack. His manly heart would then be
satisfied.
Why these people should pursue a
woman, and an able woman and poor
woman in this way, passes our compre-
hension. We hope such attacks will
simply be an incentive to Populists to
take hold and carry out the purpose for
which we started this fund.
For Gods sake let us have some char
ity for the unfortunate, especially
when they have been laboring for our
benefit. I. d.

Make the fight a home fight, as you
recently did in Morgan and Hancock

you, but you pitched the battle where
the ministers, church members and
politicians had to face the agonized
tears and heart pleadings of the wives
of unfortunate drunkards and the
mothers of hayward whiskey drinking
sons, and you are bound to win.

waged in the political fields while bar
rem of immediate success have made

Why longer permit the local politi
clans to use your sacred cause as a
hood-wink to conceal their designs as
well as their incompetency and unfit
ness for legislative duties, and this has
been done all over Georgia.

If Senator Turner will turn his valu-
able attention to the passage of an
amendment to the present Local option

every seven years instead of every two
years, as the law now prescribes, he
will, in my humble opinion perform a

AS q political party
A FINE we have not eaten
much public pie from
KEGORO- the State counter.
Got a few sheriffs
and other county officers few repre-
sentatives and a handful of senator's
that's all.
But we have by organization and
persistent fighting, done more for the
state in the six years of our existence
than the Democratic party did in
thirty years.
We have forced the Democratic Gov
ernor to make the Banks pay interest
on the States deposits.
We have made illegal voting SO dis
reputable that even Augusta lin the
10th District) is ashamed, and wants a
better and more efficient law than
Fleming's Registration Law, which we
compelled to be enacted.
We have made election frauds so
repugnaut that the present legislature
will adopt our Australian ballot sys-
tenn, or something like it,
We have hammered at the corrupt
method of electing Judges until the
people have changed the Constitution
so far as it applies to the election of
Supreme Court Judges.
We have made the convict lease
question so Internally hot that the
Governor has ordered all the misde-
meanor convicts to be returned from
private chain gangs to the counties
where they were convicted
We have made the School Book ques
ton a prominent feature for legislation
at the present session.
We have exposed extravaganza in
the management of public trusts, and
caused the appointment of the Blalock
Investigating Committee, which has
made a voluminous report to the Gov
rnor, in which grave errors are said
to exist in some of the departments.
Of course we did not have the nu-
merical strength in the general assem-
bly, to control legislation, but would
the Democratic party have inaugurated
these reforms if we had not been in
existence as political party ready to
enact them if the did not.
We may never elect Populist Gov
ernor and State House officers, and
thereby gain access to the pie counter,
and feast at the public crib, but SO
long as we hold our organization and
be true to our platform promises, we
will leaven the lump and if the politi-
cal party in power don't heed the
leaven the people will heave them out
and us in.
The most insignificant member of the
Populist party, by his fealty to its
principles, has done more for his state
than hundreds of Democrats who have
worn her honors.
If you are a patriot and love your
state stand by your colors. If you are
a pie hunting-ofice seeker, take your
clearance papers and walk out. Don't
be a Benedict Arnold or Marion Butler.

but for the life of US we can't see or

University should expect the Legisla-
ture to annually pick the pockets OF
the unprotected tax payer and give the
pickings to their alma mater.
What has the University done or
what is it doing to educate the young

done and is not now doingP They all
turn out fine lawyers, doctors and
preachers, and occasionally a farmer
or mechanic. If there is any marked
difference of superiority in the general
output of these educational machines,
which renders the University product
more valna BILE to the State than the
product of Mercer or Emory, the
friends of the University should hasten
to point it out. The over burdened tax
payer is gnorant of any such superb
ority and needs enlightenment of brain

annun without State add while it costs

And now legislative and state honors
are about easy. Mercer and Emory
have got about as many alumni in po-

AAO VI AC1V "a Oi1T
CHANGE the Bush Bill by Rne
lower house of the
TACFiCS- General Assembly in
'95; the defeat OF Hon.
Seab Wright (the Anti-barroom Prohi-
bition champion) in the Gubernatorial
contest of '96 and the recent defeat of
Mr. Turner's Anti barroom and Prohi-
ZION bills by the upper house of the
General Assembly two weeks ago is in
dicative of one of two things:-opposi-
ton of the people to a change from To-
cal option to State control, or deca-
dence of morality in our Representa-
tives Electors and Senators.
1t was the votes of Democratic Rep
resentatives which defeated it in the
lower house in 'e5; it was the votes of
church members and preachers which
defeated it in the general election of
'96, and it was the votes of Populist and
Republican Senator'S which defeated it
in the Senate the other day. Therefore,
its defeat cannot be charged against
either political party. The Populists
like the preachers and church mem bers,
having voluntarily assumed the posi-
ton of God father gives more signifi-
canoe to the votes of it's Senators than
attaches to the votes of Democratic or
Repu blican Senators, and will naturally
excite genuine surprise and cause much
adverse criticism.
am inclined, however, to the belief
that a majority of the people of the
State are sufficiently satisfied with the
Local option law as to fear jeopardy in
making a change. This satisfaction is
born of the good results obtained under
that law-the liquor traffic having been
driven out of 1902 counties of the State,
leaving only IS counties exempt frorn
Anti barroom legislation. This belief
was intensified into a potent fact by
the defeat of Hon, Seab Wright, who
gallantly and fearlessly carried the
Anti barroom banner into every sec
ton of the State during the last Guber-
material camp ,ign. That election con-
yinced me that there are ministers pro-
fessedly serving God who would &C.
lively carouse with the devil, if
branded Democracy, in preference to
aiding the cause of their Master if i'll
the aiding their Democratic friends
would lose an Office.
While 1 do not intend to palliate or
excuse the strange votes of my politi-
cal Senators which defeated the bill in
the Senate, l contend that every ad-
verse criticism of their votes falls with
equal, if not greater justice upon the
ministers and church members who
voted against Hon. Seab Wright in the
General election. If honesty of moral
convictions has departed from the pull
pit it is reas enable to expect it to take
fight in all departments of life-the
Georgia Assembly included.
The defeat of this christian measure
at the General election and by the
General Assem- oily does not mean the
death of the Prohibition cause. Its
friends may have been over Jealous in
their desire to free the state from the
liquor curse, and rs the blacksmith
some times does, struck hot iron in the
wrong pace; but the forge is handy
and coal plentiful. Learn wisdom from
defeat and experience and concentrate
your energies to the Local option field.
