Good Time to Make Terms,

AIbany (N. " Argus.
 Governor Cummins of Iowa, while train- ing with Horace Boies. borrowed from the Democratic platform some life and genuine notions of tariff reform, which he put Into words and embodied in the so: called Iowa idea," that there should be modihcaoons of every tariff plank which
 shelters monopoly" But the Governor of Iowa has fallen. He has surrendered to the stand patters'' and become a busted broncho." The eve of the pres idential election is just the time for a sincere reformer to make this stand. At that time the politicians in power will give him something, if not all he asks, to get rid of him and keep him quiet.

fuddled over a statement made by an Atlanta merchant, and printed in The News, that Atlanta is just thirty-six hours behind New York in style" The Post can't understand how an Atlanta paper can by any possibility admit that Georgia's Capital City Is behind any thing or anybody. In fact. The Post seems to think that Atlanta. at least in her own estimation. Is fully two weeks ahead of all creation. We. too. are surprised that all the Atlanta newspapers have not hatly repud1ated the merchants deolara- ton.

THEY ARE EVERYWHERE.

The money-lending shark is not con- fined to any one State, for we note that some of our Georgia contemporaries are put them out of business. The Columbus Enquirer-Sun tells in a recent issue of Ia poor woman of Atlanta who about the middle of February last, borrowed SIS from one of these sharks and she de- clares that she has been paying 5.6O a month on the debt since that time. Just how much remains to be paid is not stated but. according to her statement, she has already paid the principal and the interest several times over:"
 This state of affairs is not confined to Atlanta or Georgia. We have known men in Montgomery who paid ten per cent month for borrowed money, giv- ing security which made 1t impossible for the lender to lose the principal of his debt We have heard of other cases where furniture, sewing machines, etc., have been bought on the installment plan and after the purchaser has more than paid the debt, principal and interest. the prop erty has been forcibly taken back and no allowance made for it.
 There really seems no law which will suppress these shylocks. In Alabama, as in other States. there are plain laws against usury. but they appear to be without effect. We agree with our Columbus contemporary that the people ought to be protected from these sharxs, but the way to do 1t has not been found.

The fact that an Oklahoma preacher has been suspended from his ministry for kissing a young lady. brings up the ques- ton of when? Even a minister may kiss a female child without harm He may kiss girl. we may admit. but must not kiss a young vlady. Then the question is. when does the girl become a young lady and so get beyond the kissable limit2 We don't know that the question was discussed before suspending the minister, but it would have been quite appropos.

Revival of Subsidy Talk.

Reports from washington intimate that another and more desperate effort Is to be made to revive and pass some sort of ship subsidy bill. The plea that Ameri- can goods must be carried in American bottoms Is being revamped and worked for vastly more than 1t is worth. The subsidy crowd persists in turning a blind eye toward the facts in the case and hopes by so doing to induce the country to follow its example

Get Them Talked About.

GreenVllle Advocate.
 That suit instituted by the Indians out West for thousands of acres of land taken by the commission from them. will get the Indians talked about in the papers, but will serve no other purpose. The suit will amount to nothing and the stealing will go on pace. Public office is no long CT @ public trust, put graft by winch the office holder is in n measure given the right to steal until his pockets are full. This is the Republican politics and to stand well with the administration you must go all the gaitS.

Alabama's Anti-Boycott Law.

Chattanooga Times.
 The Alabama Legislature took a for ward movement in passing an anti-boy- cott and anti-black list law. The wonder Is not that such @ law was necessary. but that the politicians of the Legislature had the nerve to tackle. The labor agi- tators and the credit men," however. daren't boycott or black list the mem- bers because of the penalty. We have little hope for any such law in Tennessee until our Legislatures are quadrenniaI af- fairs as they are in Alabama.
