Can you not trust the Republican
party to deal with trusts?
Republican statesmanship has met
and settled all the great questions
since the civil war.
First-Reconstructio
Second-Resumption
Third-Tariff on protective lines.
Fourth-The Money Standard.
And who would go back and change
the Republican solution Of either of
those questions? The great industrf-
ous. intelligent enterprising American
people. when Republican laws gave
them opportunities to build up their
country unhamoered by cheap foreign
competition, have far more than
doubled the wealth OF their country
in 20 years, even when their growing
prosperity was checked by q few
years of mis-legislation and malad-
ministration. by the men who now ask
to be trusted again With legislative
opportunities

RECORD ON HOMESTEAD LAW
For 20 Years its Grand Work Has
Gone Forward.

For 20 Years its Grand Work Has
Gone Forward.
Among the many things Repub-
licans can take pride In recalling. no
one Of them has perhaps resulted in
greater good to the country than the
homestead law.
Its history will be interesting to re-
call briefly: The first Republican con-
gress was elected in the last of Buch-
anan's administration. Galusha A.
Grow (still a Republican member Of
congress at large from Pennsylvania)
introduced q homestead bill. which
passed q Republican house and went
to q Democratic senate, which it pass
ed by help Of two grand Democratic
senators. Stephen A. Douglass and
Andrew johnson, but Buchanan We
toed it
The next congress. when Lincoln
was president. the homestead bill
passed. and Lincoln signed it
Under that purely Republican law.
there have been over $1,000 900 acres
taken up; more land than in New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Maryland, and all New England, ex-
cept Maine. Think Of the American
homes that means.
And the good work keeps up. In
the year ending June 80, 1902, there
were over 10000 homestead entries. a
greater number than ever made in
any year: and the irrigation laws. fav-
ored by Roosevelt. will make availa-
BILE millions of acres more for further
free homes.

A UNITED STATES
ARMY SANITARIUM
To Be Established in the Black
Hills.
The Healing Waters at Hot Spring,
Expected to Restore Quickly
the Health Of Sick and
Exhausted Troopers.

Congress has authorized the estab-
lishment of Q Ssnitarium for disabled
soldiers at Hot Springs, S. D., the
famed health resort of the Black Hills,
and the Board of Managers has selected
Q site for the purpose, bordering on the
main street Of the town, and including
two of the best known springs. Its
official name will be The Battle Noun
tain Sanitarium.
The Board of Survey went into the
question Of climate, water, ETC., in .
most scientific and thorough manner
and has declared unquali6edly in favor
of the great South Dakota resort as be-
ing wonderfully we'll adapted for the
Governments purposes.
These springs are not q recent dis.
covery the Indians having known their
healing qualities for almost 300 years
In fact the Sioux about the year A. d.
1917 fought q great battle here with the
tribe then in possession and drove them
out, TO hold possession Of the healing
waters from that day to the time, ir
1877, they ceded the land so the U. s.
Government. It is this great fight o.
three centuries ago that gives the name
TO the mountain near the springs, and
to the Governments new hospital snc
resting place for troops.
The material development of the
Black Hills region; and the Sanitariuu
| project is of much interest to the Chi
cago & North Western Railway which
has direct line from Chicago to Ho
Springs, Deadwood and Lead.

The Free Traders Warming Up Again,
and the Need 10 Urgent to Get Out
Every Vote Against Them.
Very few are the days now until the
decision by the American people upon
their next congress. Will they elect
members pledged to protection and
prosperity, or put in Grover Cleve-
lands tariff reformers and Tom John
sons free traders and single taxersf
Overwhelming would be the major
tiles for protection and prosperity.
should all who get the good of the
Republican policies get out to the
polls and vote for them. Nothing can
defeat them but negligence. Every
man knows for himself whether or not
the times are not better all over the
country than they were before McKin-
ley came In. No man who shares in
the good that McKinleyism brought
with it should fail to give his vote to
sustain the policies that Mckinley ad-
vocated. Every promise that McKin-
ley made has been more than made
good, but most Of 1t can be undone
this year. as 1t was ten years ago by
fooling around for "a change"
Everything depends, first Of all,
most Of all. and last Of all upon the
votes that will be cast. All the stay
at homes In Ohio will amount to moth
ing. and far worse than nothing. They
'may defeat the existing conditions,
and turn back the clock to the Grover
Cleveland hard times. Could these
who thus neglect their duty suffer by
themselves they ought to get the full
benefit Of their own failure to do what
citizenship requires of them. Unfor-
tunately every absentee vote among
Republicans. or protectionists. ON the
4th Of November will help along the
tariff reform free traders. That crowd
are warming up again In the last lew
weeks In a way that ought to warn
every supporter Of protection and pros
psrity to be on hand with his own
vote. and all the rest he can get to-
Igether.
Some may smile over Grover Cleve-
lands temperance from his political
Igrave to tell all Democrats to get out
to vote for tariff reform again, but
1T means that he thinks that there is
another chance to revive that wreck
and ruin policy. That Cleveland
should write to Tammany Hall is a
sign Of the times. not to be mistaken
It fits right in with Tom Johnson'e
talk In Ohio in favor of free trade

ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION.

The unconstitutional Constitution
al" Convention has come and gone -
until May 90, 1902.
No one seems to breathe a greater
sigh of relief than the Democrats them
selves. From the time that the men,
bers refused to take the oath of office
down TO the time when the gavel fell
upon the passage of the last section of
one the most infamous election laws ev-
er placed upon the statute books of any
state, its work was open to suspicion.
The purpose for which the body was
called was in itself unconstitutional.
White men paraded from one section of
the state, declaring that it was the pur-
pose to disfranchise as many Negroes as
possible and no white man. The under
standing clause was adopted for the pur-
pose of accomplishing this result, while
the sons of Confederate veterans were
also an additional feature to make it
doably sure.

The accident. It appears. was large
ly due TO the fact that the flyer, bound
to New York. was over an hour late.
The painters who were killed were
working on the east-bound track, while
another. Joseph S. Dunn, was working
on the west-bound track, painting the
dividing fence. Just before the flyer
doomed in sight a coal train bound
west passed through the station. Dunn
jumped TO the platform out Of it's way,
but Clark and White, being on the
other side of the fence, continued their

Blue Line train was upon them.
They had no chance to escape. and
in a second they were ground against

30 yards. Right at the end OF the
fence is the road crossing, and here
the colored man passed around the
rear end of the coal train, directly in
front of the flyer. His body few

ell, editorially referring to our article
afhrms the truthfulness of the MANY
charges made in the PLANET against the
ruling majority in this church.
We noticed in the earlier stages of the
controversy that our distinguished
friend DR.. ]. e. Jones took active part
In the proceedings aud was in accord
with those denominated by Bro. Mitch.
ell as the majority. Our knowledge of
DIR. Jones led US TO believe that the ma.
Jorlty was probably in the right, but of
TINS we are no ways sure, and since this
church dispute has been given to the
whole vide world, whether rightfully OF
not, we will at this time express no
OPINION, 1t seems necessary for pastor
johnson and the church TO give to the
public outside of Richmond such a state
ment of the facts as will at least give an
opportunity for impartial Judgment af
ter hearing both sides. The Georgia
/ BAPTIST does not make this suggestion
because of its approval of parading the
business of any individual church ex-
| cept through properly constituted chan.
nels, but simply that the fair name of a
grand old church should not be tarnish.

OF course, DIR. Jones, DIR. johnson.
nor the church are under the slightest
obligation TO pay any attention to what
we say. Should either care TO speak, the
GEORGIA BAPTIST would gladly publish
statement of facts, with all ridicule,
reflection upon character, motive OF
abusive language left out. But for the
deep modification which we feel in this
/ matter we would refrain from what we
have said.
WE also agree to publish such state.

of the persons referred to or the church

claimed himself grossly incompetent
and a party to the murder.
When an officer arrests a prisoner he
is responsible for that prisoners safety.
If he cannot protect him, he has no
right to disarm the prisoner and thus
deny to him the right and opportunity
to protect himself.
This is common sense as much as it is
law. 1t is all very well for man to
argue that we must submit TO the law,
but he must be equally as emphatic in
proclaiming that the law must protect
the man who submits TO it.
Far better would it have been for JAS.
CARTER to have sacrificed his life in an
effort to save it than TO be taken out dur
ing the Silly hours of the night, with his
hands behind him and launched into
eternity by lot of towards who are un-
fit TO be executed on a scaffold.
What will be done about this ? We
have Governor, who hassmade every
effort to prevent these outbreaks of law
lessness, but IN the county of Amherst,
we evidently have officials who condone
the crime.

er may plead Ignorance, but he has a
olew. He is certainly too much of a
coward to have charge of Jail. 1t
would be more in keeping to place him
on the country road where prisoners are

He is too poor speciman of humani-
ity TO linger longer around a jail upon
this earth.
