DEAD AGAIN!
Atlanta Constitution.
lleN ing.

The burial of the silver question goes
merrily on. There has hardly been Il
day during the past three years that we
have not been told by the esteemed
gold organs of the East and their cuck-
COS in other parts of the country that
''silver is dead" Every turn i'll the af
fairs of the government, foreign or do
mestic, and every event that can be
construed as having any political bear
ing whatsoever, has been hailed as an
other evidence Of the Great Fact-the
death of silver. That the issue, with
the lusty vigor of youth, persisted in
kicking out of its ready-made, goldplat-
ed coffin. made no difference with the
esteemed doctors charged with editing
the Wall street newspapers. They had
said it was dead, and dead it must be,
if they had to keep on killing it every
day.

The Democrats of Caldwell will have
an able representative in Hon. Samuel
l. Patterson, who has been named foe the
House. He is farmer of Legislative eX-
perience, capacity of high order, and a
man of lofty integrity. Caldwell is one
of the few counties that has never elected
anybody but Democrat to represent
her in the House, and it always sends
men of ability and character.

Just after Dcwcy's great victory on
the LIST Of May, when the national in
tONication magnilcd its results and led
our people TO believe that we had con
qucrcd the earth. General IIolc was in
tcryieWcd in Raleigh and gave out n
very sound and SngaciOus statement of
what the new turn in affairs should
cause us finally to do. He said we
should seize Porto Rico in place of the
indemnity which Spain was unable to
pay, free Cuba under proper safeguards
and retain only coaling stations in the
Philippines and Ladrones. After three
months and n half of war, with all its
marvellous happenings. General Hoke's
wise views are precisely those which
conservative Americans now held
and which the President is said to hold
We heard Il prominent Democrat say
II couple of months ago that he thought
it would be better for us to he whipped
by Spain than that our heads should he
so turned by an easy victory that we
would embrace a policy Of conquest
and distant dominion. Like Genera
Hoke, this gentleman had no objection
to the acquisition of the West Indian
islands at our doors. That was no more
than an extension of the policy which
added Florida, Louisiana, the territory
wrestcd from Mexico. and Alaska. 1t
is the embodiment of our country in the
politics of Europe and Asia, which the
acquisition and government Of such an
extensive territory in Asia as the Philip
pines would entail, which conservatives
object to.

BETRAYAL OF PRINCIPLE PAYS, BUT

A. S. w. sends the Progressive Far
mer ten cents with which to buy water
melon and treat Zeke Bilkins for some
thing in his column that pleased him.
The negroes and Republicans have been
so pleased with his advocacy of policies
that have strengthened the gold standard
and negroized the State, that they pay
Zeke 50 a day, and give him an office
adjoining one in which Jim Young has
his desk. Think of the profit and glory
of it! Advocacy of negro rule and fu-
sion with the gold party is paying BUSH
ness with those editors who obtained
their circulation by denouncing the gold
standard and preaching reform, both of
which positions they have abandoned to
get offices at the hands OF the negro and
the gold party.
The men who advocate silver and re-
form and act in political concert with
Republicans and negroes are taking as
their motto the words of Lowell in the
'Bgelow Papers"
ITS not by princerpuls ner men
My onward course is sted'ied;
| scents what pays the best
And goes fer it bald-headed."
And it pays well. There are conspicu-
Gus examples of how well such betrayal
has paid. Men who formerly labored
and toiled in poverty are now riding in
carriages and living in ease. They have
forgotten the toilers upon whose backs
and upon the betrayal of whose cause
they have come into big salaries and light
work. As they recline in their soft
bcrths, they despise the honest men who
trusted them and denounce all their OPP
ponents as corporation tools" and gold
bugs They are swimming on bubbles
which will soon burst, and then they
will fall as Lucifer fell-never to rise
again.
1t pays for a time to betray those who
have trusted an editor or politician
for little while. But history is full
of instances showing that the rewards
of sin are transient, and that there comes
day Oh reckoning. III VIII ne more Ter

JUDGE HOBSON'S POLITICS.

There has been inquiry as to the poll
tics of Judge Hobson, recently appoint
ed postmaster at Greensboro, Ala. A
correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton answers the inquiry by saying that
Judge HObson had no idea Of receiving
the appointment until he read it in the
papers, and adds
1.-The term of the present postmaster
expired several months ago. and real
hot fight has been made by the Republf-
cans for the office. Ad Winds, n negro,
had received the Endorsement of the
Vaughn machine. but the appointment
would have been Objectionable to the
white people of the city. and as the white
Republican candidate had recently C<ed

Hobson was probate judge of this coun

but when defeated for the Democratic
nomination six years ago, ne poltcd ana
