Not a Trader.

Mr. Tom Watson is not a trader. That
is evident, from his editorial in the last is
sue of his paper, on the populist confer
ence at Nashville. In the course of his
article he says: eve would really like to
know how populst principles ere to grow

other parties and then to the other; and
we especially hunger and thirst to know
how warfare on both the old parties is to

a few days ago a story was printed in
one OF the Atlanta papers 10 the effect
that Mr.. Yancy Carter had made a bar

their forces, and Mir. Carter was to be-
come governor and handle the state pat
ronage and Mr.. Buck was TO dispense the
federal patronage.
We don't know whether there was any
solid foundation for the story or not If
there was. Mr.. Carter undertook TO deliver

Toms HEROIC Rescue.

A man bearing the classic name of Tom
Jones has been for a long time the most
enthusiastic unofficial assistant which the
volunteer fire department of a little Mas
sachusetts town had. says "Harper's Ba-
Ear" He began his career in the ftre-op-
posing line by rescuing an aged citizen
from a burning building, and ever after
his speciality was saving something, eth
er property or life. The fact that the aged
citizen was the meanest man in town rath-
er worked against Toms receiving the
credit for his first rescue which was his
due, but this was gradually overlooked
by the better element, and Toms reputa-
ton grew.
a few years ago a fire broke out in the
dwelling of Gen. s., which was the
finest residence in the place 1t may be ex-
planned that though Tom had a very fair
experimental knowledge of a popular
brand Of state liquor. his information con-
corning wines was of the most rudiment-
airy character. 1t may be added, further,
that the general was believed locally al
ways TO have A fabulous stock of the
choicest vintages on hand, a condition OF
affairs, by the way, which caused many
a wagging of heads at villge tea parties
and similar functions.
on the occasion of the fire in the gen.
erals house the firemen promptly appear
ed. and Tom was one of the first to rush
into the building. The family being all
out, he turned his attention to the saw
ing of property With the flavor of a
strong connection Just absorbed at the vii
lage tavern still on his palate, he natur-
ally thought of the priceless wines, and
was soon seen emerging from the house
carrying something carefully wrapped In a
small rug. He bore il 10 a neighboring va
cant lot. put It down beside tree, and
proceeded 10 stand guard over Il. When
asked by friends why he did not return
TO the burning building and continue his
labors. he replied, in mysterious whisper:
" Ssh! Got a crate of the generals best
wine here. Dasn't leave IL for fear ii gets
broke or hooked. You bet the general
will thank me for saving 1t, and mebby
he'll give me a bottle"
So Tom stood over the bundle and guard
ed 1t as mother might guard her babe
TIL the fire was extnguished. He then
took Il up tenderly and approached the
general, who was on the outskirts of the
crowd, and was naturally somewhat ex-
cited. Two or three bosom friends of the
rescuer not unwilling TO share the posi-
bic bottle, trailed behind.
Excuse me, general" said Tom, "but I
knowed the store you sot by your fine
wines. so l just snatched up a few bot
ties and brought 'em out. Had to watch
'em close since, too, or some scalawag

The Good work. Of the wheel.

Certain cynical persons have asserted
that the young men Of the present day
are losing their gallantry; that they no
longer pay courteous attentions to the
opposite sex 10 the extent their fathers
did, and that they are becoming conspic-
uous for their absence at church. The
charge may be true as to certain sections
Of the country and it might have been
measurably correct with regard to this
section a few years ago. But the times
and the manner are changing. and the
The change. The bicycle built for two"
and the whirring wheel ridden solus are
bringing the sexes together and strength
ening the Drawn and brain of each. That
the wheel aids in the development of
sound minds as well as sound limbs and
lungs will probably not be questioned: and
1t is very well known that human nature
admres strength of brain and muscle in
a prospective partner for life. That Gu,
pid rides a wheel is clearly evidenced in
the activity in the matrimonial market
Numbers Of girls and young ladies' are
riding bicycles, and gallant escorts are al
ways at their sides. 1t is one of the
pleasant sights OF Savannah, OF a good
afternoon or evening, to see the numer-
Gus bellies and beaux in pairs. and trios,
and quartettes. spinning up and down the
finc roadways. They find real zest in
life, and their healthgiving exercise on
the wheel makes them think healthful
thoughts. The community of interest in
bicycling draws the sexes into closer ac,
quaintance with each other. with the re.
suit of engendering mutual admiratious
and lasting friendships. Now, the girls
are all church-goers. Especially do they
like to attend services in the evenings.
Hence many of those who ride with the
beauX in the afternoons and evenings OF
the week days induce the boys-indirecuy,
Of course-to so to church with them on
Sunday evenings. That is the trend OF
influences. The girls might advance the
good work OF getting the boys out to
church l. they would make It conditional
upon riding with them on secular days
that they should so 60 church with them
on the Sabbath. 10 they would do ;his.
there would be rush to an the pews.
and the delightful bicycle might be made
TO do good missionary work.

Mr. Watson hits the nail on the head
when he says that the average populist
has no principles but simply wants an
6liiee. He has been a little slow in finding
out what nearly everybody else with
reasonable amount Of judgment and per-
eeption discovered long ago. But there
Is some satisfaction in knowing that at
last Mr.. Watson himself has seen light.
There are no doubt some well-meaning
populists, who honestly believe the peo-
PIES party has a mission. In the south
some of them think that mission is to de-
feat the democratic party, while in the
north and west they think 1t is to defeat
the republican party. But if these honest
populists would dismiss their prejudices
and look matters squarely in the face,
they would see that there are
no principles involved, as neither
the peoples party nor its lead
ers have any. In some states, dur
ing the last campaign, the populists went
with the democrats and in others they
went with the republicans, while in North
Carolina they went with both. In that
state they voted the national ticket with
the republicans and the state ticket with
the democrats.
The North Carolina populists are merely
a type. The leaders are with very few ex-
ceptions, pretty much the same every
where They make charges against dem
ocrats and republicans which are so
preposterous that no sane person should
give them credence; yet they are ever
ready to sell out for the highest bid in
offices and patronage. They gather to-
gether the disconnected elements of par
ties, classes and colors, with promises of
benefits to be conferred if they are put
into office. These promises, it Is hardly
necessary to remark, are forgotten as
soon as the populist politician through
dickering and trading, finds himself safe
ly landed in office.
If Mr.. Watson and those of his ilk real
ly believe that their lives should be de-
voted to destroying the democratic party
the only organization which has ever
proved itself able to protect the masses
against the rapacity of the republican or
ganization-they should join the repubu-
can party and make a square, stand-up
fight. The democracy Of the nation will
give Mr.. Watson all Of the fighting he
wants if ne viii just get in line with the
republicans Indeed, 1t begins to appear
as if Mr.. Watson would have to do some
thing of the kind if he hopes to oppose
the democrats and be in the thick Of the
scrimmage of 1890. One of the hottest po-
Iiucal fights that this country has ever
seen will be waged at that time, and it
viii be between the democrats and the
republicans. The populists will not be
in it," literally speaking, unless It Is
somewhat in the guise Of camp followers
and seekers after pickings, as they were
in North Carolina in the recent campaign.
At the same time, it is not out of place
to observe that there is room in the dem
ocratic party for Mr.. Watson We do not
know precisely how ne would start about
getting back into the party, but we do
know that the democratic party before
now has forgiven political sinners and
taken them back into the fold.
