After all it seems that Georgia is
not so wedaea to watermelons as
Democracy, as to make divorce an
impossibility.
The great effort of the Republican
party now seems to prevent the return
of business prosperity until after the
next Presidential election. They well
know that the revival of trade will
rob them of the only campaign cry
that is left them, namelv. that the
Democrats are responsible for the
stagnation that begai under a Re
publican administration, and while
the McKinley bill was yet in force.
There being no less than eleven
points of difference between France
and England connected with frontier
matters in dispute, they aie now posi
tively known to be at loggerheads and
to be making very ugly faces at each
other over one point in particular, it
is known as the Madagascar trouble.
France, it seems, claims certain rights
and privileges upon the island of
Madagascar, while England looks on
with jealous eye an.l claims that
France is getting entirely too acquisi
tive. At all events significant preparations
of warships are being made, according
to report, and if Johnny Bull ever
locks horns with France somebody is
going to get hurt before the war is
over with.
Candidate Hill's plan for making
the two wings of the New York Dem
ocracy flap together seems to have
partially succeeded. By the device of
offering to the Committee of Seventy
the name of John W. Goff for Mayor,
who they were sure would neither ac
cept the nomination nor be accepted
by the Republicans, the Grace-Cleve-land
State Democrats were furnished
with a pretext for withdrawing from
the anti-Tammany conference last
evening.
The conference adopted a ticket
headed by William L. Strong, Repub
lican, for Mayor, and John W. Goff,
Democrat, for Recorder, and the Re
publican Convention indorsed the
ticket. The State Democracy will
probably nominate William R. Grace,
who, at the dictation of Hill and Whit
ney, will be indorsed by the Tammany
organization.
This leaves only one recalcitrant
body of Democrats, the Sheppard fac
tion of Kings county to be harmonized,
and if they cannot be harmonized
otherwise it is possible that Hill may
withdraw and allow the State commit
tee to substitute the name of Judge
Gaynor in his place. The probabilities,
however, are that, having pulled the
State Democracy and the Tammany
organization in New York together,
he will remain - at the head of the
ticket and make the fight of his life
The Timet.
Mr. Eingerlj'a Acceptance.
On Saturday, September 27, at the
Lafayette Hotel, Philadelphia, the
Democratic State nominees were of
ficially informed, by Hon. W. U. Hen
sel, permanent chairman of tha late
Democratic State Convention, of their
respective nominations. All the nom
inees were present. Col. William M.
Singerly, the nominee for Governor,
spoke as follows:
On behalf ot my colleagues and for
myself, I beg to say that the honor
done us by the Democracy of Pennsyl
vania in naming ui their candidates
for the State ticket, and the kind
terms in which you have given us for
mal notice of their action, are duly
appreciated.
We accept the nominations and in
dorse the platform approved by the
convention. Tariff reform, honest
money, frugal, federal, state and muni
cipal government are aims worth fight
ing for. When we shall be able to
divorce politics from business so as to
let the people do their own banking,
trading, carrying and manufacturing,
precisely as we allow them to do their
own farming, without meddlesome dis
crimination for or against any special
interest, and only restricted by such
few general laws as are necessary for
the public safety and welfare there
will be a return of settled prosperity.
i he people can take care of them
selves. Legislation which promotes
capitalistic aggregations, syndicates,
trusts and political combinations for
the purpose of plunder, promotes
counter organizations of the plundered,
and disorganizes society. A resump
tion of simpler Jeffersonian methods,
in which nothing shall be undertaken
by the Government which may be ac
complished by individual exertion,
should be the basis of Democratic
effort To this end let us unitedly
strive. When the fathers, declared
the people were capable of self govern
ment they meant it in the strictest
sense of the phrase.
Our best efforts wi'.l be given to
make the campaign successful, and we
beseech you to give earnest attention
to general organization and special
organization in your individual districts.
It is upon this earnest and efficient
organization that the result depends,
The Democracy, deserve success for
their efforts, and you, gentlemen, can
make it so.
Manufactured Dullness.
Notwithstanding the undeserved pro
tection it has received from both par
ties in the past and the special favors
still granted it by Democracy, the
Sugar Trust has soured so lately that
it has thrown 7,000 men out of em-
Dlovment for Dolitieal effort If it
were not for the danger of bankruptcy
many otner specially protected indus
tries from Maine to California
do the same, because of the danger
aneaa 01 tnem. Wherever, like the
sugar industry, they can easily afford
to close up for a few months preceding
the election, they will be very apt to
do so. Now just watch them. If
they cannot have special favors with
Democracy they are very apt to be
come Republicans, no matter whether
their monopolies are carried on in the
norm or in tne south. What they
Want and what thev are hrmnrl tn Vi-iv
and just as long as the deluded people
...Ml ti r. r .
win auow 11, is special governmental
favor and consequent monopoly in
their particular lines of trade or manu
facture. The Sugar Trust can well afford to
dismiss its employees to the very last
man if by the distress thus engendered
they can helf the friends of high pro
tection and high sugar bounties back
into power. The same may be truth
fullv said of everv othr Whlu rm.
tected industry in this country. Not
withstanding their great wealth and
consequent arrogance there is danger
of the curtailment of their dividends
in case of Democratic success, and
universal distress is fir preferable with
them. And no doubt it will be stronger
than their weak political argument ;
hence let us look for dullness of busi
ness so far as the hish nrotertinnisr
can make it dull for political effect.
Effect of the Foreign War How Predicted.
China's sudden and rude await pnintr
from stolid conceit and complacent
aonfidence may have important and
larreacning results not only in the em
pire itself, but in the future history nf
the world. What the fierce kindlini?
of the war spirit would mean in a
country with a population numbered
by hundreds of millions must of course
ae icit largely to conjecture Boston

The Chinese, both officials and nm.
pie, are thoroughly demoralized, and
it is improbable that they would be
able to offer effectual resistance to the
Japanese troops. Invasion would, in
all probability, be followed by the
overthrow of the worthless Chinese
dynasty and & disintegration of the
empire. Baltimore American.

Mr. Buckalcw is hard at work in
the other counties of this congression
al district making speeches every day.
Columbia county can cive him a ma
jority of 2500 this year, and the in
dications are that it will do so. But
e-'cry Democrat tnusi work from now
until election day, and not one voter
must stay at home on November 6th.
The Republicans will see that they
poll every man in their party, and we
must De equally as alert. Democratic
meetings have been arranged throuch
out the county by Chairman Chris
nian, and an excellent corps of speak
ers have been secured, among those
wno win discuss the issues are Col. J.
G. Freeze, who has done longer con
tinuous service on the stump fir the
uemocratic party than most any other
man in the State. W. H. Snyder, W.
H. Rhawn, A. L, Fritz, Fred Ikeler,
E. M. Tewksbury, T. B. Hanly, R.
G. F. Kshinka, C. A. Small, and
others. There should be a large at
tendance at every meeting, in order
that every voter may understand the
political issues of the day and see the
necessity for a big majority in this
county.
Special Protection Against Healthy
Competition.
While McKinley himself is quoted
as saying " no one ever claimed that
piotective tariffs were intended to
increase wages," upon the other hand
his friends and followers are already
trying to make votes by saying, " it
will be perfectly fair to reduce wages
to exactly the extent to which hi?h
protection has raised them." Con
sidering the numerous strikes during
the prevalence of the McKinley law,
they of themselves seem rather to con
firm the quoted remark of McKinley
than to indorse or justify the contem
plated reduction of wages no matter
whether it be doae for political effect,
or for the further enrichment of
manufacturers already too rich and
saucy for anything. Since they will
not proteet the labor in wages upon
which they have grown so arrogant,
why further impose upon the masses
for their particular benefit and further
enrichment. When our protected in
dustries presume to say just what
they will have from Congress in shape
of laws, and just what they will not
have from employees who ask a liberal
share of their handsome profits, we
can see no evil in doing by them as
they have uniformly done by their
employees, namely, reduce their earn
ines by curtailing somewhat the spe
cial favorsjiitherto shown them. We
would do this not so much to retali
ate upon the few rich manufacturers
(who are no doubt Fpecially benefitted
by high protection), as to be fair and
equitable with the unprotected mass
of consumers who suffer by monopo
lies and are correspondingly benefitt
ed by healthy corapetition'in all the
commodities of life.
The naked truth, still fresh in the
mind of the laborer from Maine to
California, is that there was nothing
but reductions of wages (and strikes
in consequence) from start to finish
under the McKinley law ; and if, as
McKinley says, no one ever claimed
the protective tariffs were intended to
increase the laborer's wages," pecuni
ary interest has the laborer in high
protection ? Though McKinley did
not say so the fact is quite apparent
that somebody else than the laborer
must bs benefitted, and greatly bene
fitted, by high protection. And it it
is statesmanlike and patriotic that
these special benefits shall be continu
ed to manufacturers ( now out of. their
swad'Jling clothes and quite able to
escape the poor house ) then we
should all vote to continue special
favors to a special few ; but taking
what seems to us the more rational,
equitable, and patriotic view of it, our
first care should be for the masses
who are generally left to care for
themselves as best they can even
though promised equitable laws by
stump speakers before election. Let
" the greatest good to the greatest
number " be the watchward and po
litical parties must obey if they would
win at the polls.
