though hattrrrd h_\ shot and shrll. it
is not disniiint Ird. nor lias it ont*r
st ruck its colors.
As the stioar stdirdiilr now stands
the trust is bountifully fed. hut the
revenue to the ooveruuirllt will he
diminished. I.ej'ishttion is in the
interest of the trust, not of the pen-
pie. Why delay until January to en
force this provision of the hill? hy
discriminate in favor of t his t iihralt ra
atnon^ monopolies? Hits the gov
ernment a surplus of revenue, that it
can afford to hestow' more wealth
upon the already well-tilled coffers ol

Keadthe following timely article
from the New York Witness and ob

Put there is perhaps no other im
portant product of which it can be
said with such emphasis that a pro
tective tariff on it is almost entirely
a tariff for the exclusive benefit of a
uioiiopolv as i- the case with refined
stioar. The t .lal cost of wa^cs lor
refinino |imi pounds ol -u^ar is iu-
sionilicant. and the difference be
tween tile wa^e cost here and the
wpoe cost in Europe is so s!h_dil as to
he scarcelv worth considerino.
How the 'll oar schedule of the
Senate tariff bill compares with that
of the McKinley tariff in t lie measure
of the protection which each affords

GEORGIA POLITICS.
Tile oubernatorial content in t.eor-
(jia has developed rapidly. Evans |
appeared at first in the lead, but
Atkinson soon showed that he pos
sessed unusual powers of endurance
and ability for oroani/ation. Now.
! Atkinson is ahead with a majority of
I 1(1 percent., and he shows that he
eau afford to be oeiicrous to the old
war horse, the hero of other days.
Me can, from his pinnacle, look down
patroni/inoly upon his competitor.
Hut let t he t idc of bat t le t urn. and
the forces once more be e.pially
matched, and the demaj'ooue will be
seen as when the contest opened.
Somethilijf else has developed. At
first, the leadin'' papers of the State
endeavored to direct public senti
ment, now public sentiment has been
the means of modifying newspaper
utterances. County after county
while assembled to select delegates
to the nominating convention, has
spoken with no uncertain sound, en-
dorsino the democratic platform,
lienee we now hear U ss of discon
tent and less oruwlim.' against I’resi-
dent Cleveland s administration.
'Fhe strife will soon be over in
Georgia, and this oreat State will
continue in the line of progress and
dcvelnpcinent.

SENATE INVESTIGATION.
Very proper is it that the Senate
investigating committee should be
searching and thorough in it' work.
It is to be commended for it' zeal and
for interpreting aright tin-sentiment
of the people. Each Senator is called
upon to answei ertaiu drau m l
tpieslions. If. in the drawing in
small fry are eaui'ht as well as larger
fish, there i> a lesson for all to learn.
And learnt in the school of adversili
make it all t he more im
pressive.
The Senator from Eastern North
Carolina has recently been on the
rack. Thouj'li clear in his own rec
ord. his son and private seerclarv
( icoroe. does not escape. 11 wasonlv
a "bueket shop, and tie,irv'e only
dipped a little. Ini' that little was
enough to worry an honored father
and statesman who knew nothin^ of
the the son - speeiilalions. It i*
rioht that even this be brought to
tin I i o h t. I .el the eommittee eoll-
tiuue to probe until every irrilat iny r
particle be removed and the wound
cleansed so as to be in a condition to
b heal'd.
DR. R. H. GRIFFITH.
I bis eood man b.-t' been summoned

his death was a eriishin'_' blow to his
main friends, who were rejoieino in
