A GOVERNORS MALIGNITY.
As Illustrated by the Courts of Geor
gia's Executive.

GAS EXECUTIVE.
Memphis appeal Dem.)
Georgia has a Governor who has given
10 the country one of the most sublime
exhibitions of gall on record.
This able Chief Executive is one Of the
most violent opponents of expansion in
abe country. In this respect he rivals
Honorable Joe Bailey, who is in mortal
terror lest Uncle Sam should get his toes
wet in venturing beyond high water mark.
He is opposed to the war in the Philip
pines, and considers Aguinaldo a second
George Washington. He is opposed TO
the authorized increase In the army, op'
posed to the enlistment of soldiers, OPP
posed to sending any more recruits to
General Otis.
In spite of this, when the President
called for volunteers for the regular army
and declined to appeal to the various
States for troops, Governor Gambler be-
came wrathy. He denounced the de-
parture from past practices as outrageous,
and he insisted that he should at least
have the right of naming the officers.
This modern Sam'l. of Posen is mir
acle of audacityy Had the President
called upon him TO furnish certain troops
he would have refused to comply, but
now that the President is securing all the
troops he wants, Governor Gambler wants
to take hand and give his friends soft
places in an army to which he objects
and in a service which he deems unholy
and infamous. Great is Governor Cand
Pier.

WE are glad that President Mckinley
has given General Wheeler command in
the Philippines. Glad because he is a
brave and capable soldler,glad that, though
a Southern Democrat, he has shown him
self more patriot than partisan, and glad
because the General will be grati6ed in
his eager wish 10 do battle again under

an organized effort will be made to GUST
Senator James x. Jones as chairman of

successor. Senator Martin can run his

but when he undertakes to run national

DEMOCRATIC FRAUD.

We hear it frequently denied that any
frauds are praeticed or unfairness shown
by the Democratic election officers in the
Ninth Congressional District. For the
enlightenment of those who deny it we
publish below fac simile of the official
ballot which was prepared by the Demo
cratic electoral board of Scott county for
the recent election for county officers in

HARMONY AND UNITY.

We hardly suppose there is any Kepuo-
lican in Virginia, who would not be de-
liphted to see the electoral vote Of the
State Given in 1900 to the candidate of our
party for the Presidency. To many 1t may
appear to be hoping against hope, even to
indulge in such All idea. Such a result,
however, is not impossible. With the
present election law out ofthe way 1t would
be sure to come; and even with the unfair
election law to contend against Republican
success in Virginia is not impossible. In
1896 1876, OOJ Republican votes were cast
in the State for Mckinley. There is no
doubt but that for wholesale frauds prac-
ticed by tue Democratic machine the cleo
toral vote Of the State would have been
given to Mckinley. Since 1896 the Presi-
dent has been growing in popularity IN
Virgin, aand the people have become more
deeply impressed with the correctness OF
Republican principles. Not only are these
things true, but there has been constant
increasing disgust among honest Demo
Gratis for the methods that the Democratic
machine has been using to keep control.
Those methods have not only been employ
ed against Republicans but also against
Democrat. who did not own allegiance to
he ring that control their party. 1t is no
unusual thing to hear Democrats express
ing their contempt for and disapproval Of
the Martin machine.
Everything is ripe and ready for the he
pubicans to make tremendous and per-
haps successful fight in Virginia in l9GO.
Organism is on the decline, the demand
for honest elections is increasing, the bene-
fits of protection and sound money are
becoming more apparent even to tie dull
est minds, and there is only one serious
draw back 10 Republican prospects in the
State. That trouble is the lack Of l&r-
monv and unity in the ranks Of the party.
This unfortunate condition has been pro-
duced by the scramble for place and the de-
sire TO control Federal patronage. 1t be-
gan Immediately after the election Of Nc
Kinlcy, among those who claimed to be
the leaders, and who seemed indifferent
TO future party success, if they could only
secure control Of the patronage. The re-
suit was disastrous rupture in the party,
which has beer very discouraging to the
rank and file. This condition should be
rectifed, and the leadership be taught
that there are higher aims for the party
than securing places of honor and profit
for its leaders. The test of party fealty
should be something higher than the Sc.
curing of Office. Amongst the masses of
the party there is an earnest desire for
party success. The men who vote believe
sincerely in Republican principles. They
are eager to see them win. Will not the
leaders pay some Difference to the wishes
of the voters, and show more conserva-
tive and compromising spirit? 1t is none
too early to begin preparations for party
harmony and unity. If they can be OBJ
tanned, with the changes that have taken
place in the minds of Democrats to assist,
there is no reason why Virginia cannot be
carried for Mckinley in 1900.

react on the poor" farmer
In view of this double levy of
county taxes there is disposition,
principally among small property
holders, to refuse to pay the seven
teen cents levy of the County Fiscal
Court. This is the wrong course to
pursue, as large property holders,
who can afford to consult attorneys,
know, since it can only result in
penalties, costs and litigation. The
proper course is to pay the tax,
preserve the receipt, together with
city tax receipts for the past four
years, and await the result of the
suit as to the validity of the tax. If
the tax is sustained you save trouble
and expense; if not, it must be re-
funded, and the tax receipts are
necessary to substantiate the claim
for taxes wrongfully paid and or
dered refunded.

ENUNCIATE CLEARLY.

In these hustling, busting days
clearness of enunciation and direct
ness of speech are absolutely neces
sary to the well-being and comfort
of the community at large. So
many of both sexes, especially
among the young, speak in such a
rapid manner they do not have time
to pronounce distinctly, and in con-
sequence they slur their words or
drop the last syllable and make a
perfect tumble of what was intended
to be pretty speech.
More attention should be given
in the schools to distinct pronuncia-
ton, for it is a decided advantage
in business, and the opposite is a
decided nuisance in society as well.
In commercial life how many tin es
is one called to the phone only to
find at the other end some one
whom it is almost impossible to
understand, and who, perceiving
what is wrong, makes matters worse
by raising his voice until those near
him think he is trying to awaken
the dead.
A soft, we'll modulated voice is a
perpetual JOY to its owner and a
constant pleasure to its listeners.
In singing it is even worse than
speaking. Frequently really fine
song rendered by a singer of taste
with an excellent voice is married
simply because the words are a
tumble of sounds. In this connec-
ton it was noted at the music festi-
val last spring one of the artists in
responding to an encore sang sim
pie little love song, but it was rem
dered doubly pleasing by his enun-
eating every word so distinctly that
it could be heard in all parts of the
house.
To have a nation of clear-spoken
people the education must begin
with the children, and this should
not be confined to the school-room.
However much the teachers may
labor and exert themselves, their
efforts will meet with failure unless
they are supplemented at home by
the parents.

COUNTY DOUBLE TAX.

That the people of Louisville are
being doubly taxed for county pur
poses this year no one, except the
County Fiscal Court possibly, will
deny. AS we intimated, the ques
ton has got into court, as it is not
likely that people who paid tax in
January would willingly pay the
same tax again in September. S.
o. Newman, real estate agent, has
sued the city to stop further pay
ment by the city of county expenses
and to compel the city to refund to
the taxpayers all taxes for county
purposes collected by the city for
the years 1896, 1897, 1898 and
1899, claiming that under the re-
cent decision of the Court of Ap-
peals the levy and collection of such
taxes by the city were illegal, and
as taxes can only be expended for
the purpose for which they were
levied the money must be refunded
by the city to the taxpayers. The
amount named in Mr.. Newman's
suit is nominal, being the sum paid
by him to the city in taxes for
county purposes for four years, but
the issue involves all the taxes for
county purposes paid to the city for
four years, aggregating about $780,
600. About $4,000 of this has
been paid out by the city for county
purposes. If Mr.. Newman wins his
suit the county will be burdened
with this deficit, for if the city mas
to refund TO the taxpayers, it is the
city's only recourse to compel the
county to refund it. Thus do the
schemes of the rural statesman to
"equalize" taxes to the poor"
farmer by heaping them on the
cities and towns coinplicate public
affairs, cause litigation and finally

A VOICE.


You may sing of the that bloom in their pride
Like the last smile of day at the still eventide,
But ask but gift from this world cold and WIDE
To hold and to cherish till life shall depart
Here's a health to the shamrock, ashore,
The flower of dear Erin, beloved evermore
Far the foam
Where her sad exles roam
Sure an it calls us home
Home to her heart.
Ere the light of her glory had faded away
And the traitors had risen her faith to beray,
Its smile answered back to the smile of the day
Alas, that those bright hours should ever depart
Here's health to the shamrock, ashore
The flower of dear Erin, beloved
Flown is her dream of power
Yet from this darling flower
She calls us hour by hour
Home to her heart.
When the heart of mother was bowed down. 1 ween
When she wept slave where she regned queen
Her tears softly fell on the leaves frail and green
AS she watched her sad exiles in shackles depart
Here's health to the shamrock ashore,
The flower of dear Erin, beloved
Voice of the long ago.
Well do we love thee so,
Speak to u.s. call us-oh-
Home to her heart.
When the bowed down the tyrant's nod
When the blood of her martyrs like rain her sod
The shamrock all that left by God,
And il vailed with its green leaves deaths mercess dart
Here's health to the shamrock, ashore
The flower of dear Erin, beloved
Her wrongs should redress,
Her heroes should bless
Call to us from it-yes
Back to her heart.
And oh, when weary of le's sad wayfaring,
Of the cares that Cypress and the past all bearing
Let turn toward the silence still loyalty wearing
The badge we have a dare in the mart
Here's health to the shamrock, ashore
The flower OF dear Erin, beloved
With this sweet blossom pressed
Close to the puseless breast,
Oh, twill be heaven
At home on her heart.

MILITARISM VS.. SYMPATHY.

MILfTARISM VS.. SYMPATHY.
Military discipline is an iron rule,
recognizing no extenuation, pallia-
ton or mercy; absolute, stern, cal
lous, infexible, yielding nothing,
and when this is exemplified by
court-martial the civilian is horror
stricken, moved to pity for the vic
tim and indignation against his
judges-but, unless the higher au-
thority disapproves the finding or
mitigates the sentence of the court
martial, its decree is carried out,
for military discipline must be main
tanned. This is true in every coun-
try--in civilized nations the forms
of law and trial are observed and
the accused given a chance to es-
tablish his innocence; among bar
barians the accused is summarily
executed. Military discipline, un-
like the civil law, places the burden
of proof on the accused to disprove
the charges; doubts, indiscretion,
intent, excavations, all of which
in a civil trial are favorable to the
accused, have no bearing in court
martial, which rarely acquits, and
when it does it's verdict is some
times the forerunner of another
court-martial for the accuser, whose
charges must have been proven ut
terly groundless or absolutely false.
A court-martial can not return a
compromise verdict, or acquit be-
cause of doubt, extenuation or any
other ground than proof; and if the
accused be guilty, even in the slight
est degree, the court can only SO de-
eide, fix the penalty, and make such
recommendations to the superior Of
ficers as they deem proper, and it
rests with the higher power to re-
view the case, consider excluded
testimony, extenuating circum-
stances and pleas of the accused,
and either approve the verdict and
sentence wholly or in part, modify
or set it aside. This is the mode of
procedure in the United States and
most of the European countries.
Of course, every one sympathizes
with the accused who has to pass
such an ordeal, and if the verdict be
against him the sympathy is mani
fest and indignation outspoken, as
was observed in regard to the Drey-
fus case in the past week. Every
one sympathizes with the man and
his family, even those who approve
the verdict and the court which con-
victed him, as attested by their rec
ommendation--that in view of ex-
tenuating circumstances he be not
degrated from his rank-which prac-
tically means pardon, since a SOL
der is never punished as a felon,
being always first degraded and ex-
PEELED from the army before the
execution of the punishment in such
cases. Though in the published
testimony there was nothing to
prove guilt, neither did the defense
refute all the charges, and no one
but the court knows the nature of
the secret evidence presented; yet.
when viewed in the rigid light of
military discipline, which circum-
