AMERICUS, GA., JULY 12, 1900.
It’s still the dollar against patriotism.
The war in South African is gradual
ly cropping out in the papers again.
The July breezes in Americus are
equal to the best furnished at the sum
mer resort*.
There is the danger to the democracy
that Hanna may take in some of Ted
dy’s rope before the campaign gets
well on.
The battle will soon be on in Ken
tucky, The poor old State is to be
called on to endure another guberna
torial campaign.
Mr. Kipling’s latest story from South
Africa is not the thrillingly interesting
sort that would force a man to sit up
and read all night.
China, the Philippines, South Africa
and four months of a presidential cam
paign. What more could newspaper
readers ask for their money?
Mr. Hill has demonstarted that the
way to decline is to decline and stick
to it. Yet Teddy will go right ahead
regarding David as a trickster in poli
tics.
The secretary of agriculture says
that war with China means much loss
to the Southern cotton growers. Nev
ertheless the latter are willing that the
Chinese shall be effectively chastised
for wrongs done Americans.
The fact that the Kansas City plat
form does not refer to the civil service
has generally been overlooked by the
newspapers. It neither commends nor
condemns the merit system. The keen
edge of Adlai’s ax shows between the
lines —Macon Telegraph.
After all, it does not make much dif
ference about the Republican platform.
The Democratic platform is the issue.
The other platform will be lost sight of
in six weeks. The Democratic plat
form is so written that you are either
for it or against it.
While the expenditures last year for
the war and navy account decreased by
comparison with the preceding year of
1898-99, the pension disbursements
continued to increase. The greatest
and the most unjust burden which
this country bears is the present pen
sion list.
Fall River cotton mills have closed
for a month,throwing 20,000 people out
of work and docking them $450,000. A
telegram says that the one bright as
pect of the case is that most of the
mills will close down on alternate
weeks and by this arrangement the
help will be able to pull through with
out actual want in the great majority
of cases. A majority of the operatives
belong to labor unions, which have ac
cumulated large sums of money which
they can use to assist members in dis
tress. But what is the matter with
our “boundless prosperity?”—Augusta
Chronicle.
The spectacle of the diplomatie rep
rentatives of a half dozen of the great
est powers in the world shut up in
Pekin, or probably murdered, and
America absolutely unable to extend
a helping hand or even ascertain their
fate, is indeed calculated to send a
thrill of alarm and indignation through
all Christendom. What does the in
activity of the nations represented at
Taku mean? Has the defensive power
of the Chinese staggered and paralyzed
them? Is it only possibly to wait for
the ghastly details from Pekin? Is in
ternational jealousy responsible for
this bloody sacrifice at the Chinese
capital? Must humanity wait upon
selfish diplomacy?
GREAT COST OF STRIKES.
An investigating contemporary has
been getting up some figures in con
nection with recent strikes, and the
result is interesting, to sav the least
of it. The strike in Chicago, accord
ing to this authority, involved 50,000
laboring men in idleness, whose aver
age wages were $2 per day, showing
a loss of not less than SIOO,OOO a day to
the working men of that city. We do
not now call to nJind the exact dura
tion of the stike, but as it lasted for
weeks, it will be seen that an immense
amount of money was lost to the la
borers of the city.
The St. Louis strike shows an even
worse result, which is thus condensed
by a contemporary: •
Killed 13, injured 180, women strip
ped 3, loss to’strikers $320,000, loss to
company in fares $420,000, in other
ways $600,000, to business interests
$25,000,000, and to the city direct over
$300,000.
Some of these figures are doubtless
conjectural,but it is probable that they
are approximately correct, and will
serve to show the great loss which
the laboring men sutler by engaging in
strikes, which are usually indefensible
and almost invariably unsuccessful. If
nothing but the financial loss, which
usually falls heaviest on the strikers,
is taken into consideration,it is enough
to cause working men to hesitate long
before engaging in a strike, but the
money loss is not always the worst fea
ture of these affairs. Loss of life is one
of the unfortunate results, and a con
tempt for, and disregard of, law and
authority are in almost all cases en
gendered in the minds of the strikers
and they are the ones who suf
fer in the end. Facts and figures
are unanswerable, and they are almost
invariably against strikes and strikers.
STORY TOLD BY A DELEGATE.
Discussing Cuban affairs at the Phil
adelphia convention, one of the early
delegates told a story which illustrates
the attitude of the imperialists in the
Philippines, as well as in Cuba, says
the Salt Lake Herald.
A man who was crossing a covered
bridge one night came across a fellow
tied to a post and all but insensible.
“What are you doing here?” he ask
ed.
“Why, some robbers got me, tied me
to this post, took all the money I had,
•xcept S3O in my inside pocket, and
ran away,”
“Did you holler?”
“Yes, I hollered like thunder, but
nobody heard me.”
“Sure nobody heard you?”
“Yes.”
“And you can't get away.”
“No,l’m tied fast; I can’t get away.”
“Well,” said the man who was cross
ing the bridge, “if that’s thecasei
guess I'll take that S3O myself.”
And that is how these advocates of
imperialism and its golden opportuni
ties behave when they got into our
insular acquisitions. Whatever Al
phonso left McKinleyism takes.
The many friends of Hon. Shelby
Myrick, the brilliant young son of
Mrs. Marie Louise Myrick, are pleased
to learn that he has been re-appointed
referee in bankruptcy by Judge Speer.

Catarrh in almost every Instance starts with what f

Consumption cannot bo cured. New lungs cannot

except this final and always fatal one.
A CERTAIN CURE.
In an experience of twenty years, during winch
time I have treated many thousands of cases of all
forms of catarrh, I have never yet failed to effect a
radical and permanent cure. The method I employ
is one exclusively my own, and the remedies which I
use are prepared under my personal direction In my

Let me once mfire urge all catarrhal sufferers to
begin treatment at once, for a month of treatment
now is better than the three months later on.
I shall make for the next month a specially low fee
for the treatment of catarrli not complicated bv

BRIEF HAS BEEN RECEIVED.
Old Bonds Involve South Carolina In
Law Suit.
Columbia, July 11.—The brief of the
United States against the state has been
received by Attorney General Bellinger.
When the suit was first announced the
state officials did not exactly understand
what it was all about, but the brief ex
plains it.
It seems that in 1850 the state issued
bonds for the completion of the state
house and by some means $150,000 of
them came into the possession of the
federal government, and suit is now
made demanding the full face value of
the bonds with interest since 1850. The
total amount sued for will be about
$250,000.
