DAILY ENQUIRER * SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 1. 188ft. | Tilt: llll.l Mill s AMI SOt’TIIKltM. I The F.sqcinfeu'Si's tliin morning puli- \ li- lies several articles concerning the OolumbuH aini Southern railroad, taken ! from newspapers printed in it section j where this road would lie greatly appro* ; dated. We gather from these articles that the people of southwest Georgia and in the several Florida communities through which tin; road would pass, if built in that direction, arc anxious for its construction, and are disposed to do what ESTABLISHED IN 1828. 58 YEARS OLD.

Tub trouble with Lord Chief Justice 'Coleridge seems to he Unit lie doesn’t sleep and eat with his judicial wig on. Action and speech—off the bench—can not always be in full keeping with pro fessional caution, or even paternal re serve. Actions for slander, brought by daughters against fathers, are happily rare among common men. Auout this time Mr. Blaine is wishing he had taken Mr. Edmunds by tlie hand, even if he gavo It a deadly squeeze. If true as reported, or anything like, he made a wretched exhibition of impotent spleen in the house of the dead presi dent. In fact he ought not to have gone there at ail unless in a penitential spirit and tolerant frame of mind. Alderman McQi'adb may enjoy the respite afforded by tire disagreement of the jury that first tried him, but if he believes in the doctrine that history re peats itself, his satisfaction will not last long. The first jury in the Tweed ease disagreed, but the second trial resulted in a conviction that brought a sentence of twelve years’ imprisonment, and he ultimately, died in Ludlow street jail. Virginia was lost to the democrats at the November election because more than 50,000 of them kept away from the polls. Was this because they were sure their party would get through without them, or becuuse they are dissatisfied at not enjoying us much “spoils” as they think should have come to the victors of 1884? There is a nice question for con sideration there. A sad case recently occurred in Ches ter, England, where a festive merchant traveler in Irving to kiss a pretty maid fell over a wash-tub and scratched his hand. In time inflammation set in and the young man died. After all this, the Accident Insuviinec Company was mean enough to set up successfully in defense to an action on the policy that notice of the "scratch” had not been served upon it within the required seven days. The moral of this is that the guy drummer I should not try t < kiss the pretty maids I at the hotels, or if he does and gets I scratched, he should serve notice at once ! on his insurance companies. In an able argument against the su preme eouit decision that federal citizen ship does not entitle women to vote, lion. Francis Minor,of St. Louis, reminds the readers of one of the December mag- mines that women voted in New Jersey until 1807 without challenge, and in stances the ease of the late Mrs. Cain- hack, who voted in the presidential elec tion of 1800. This lady, the mother of Hon. Win. K. Cumback, of Indiana, died only a few years ago, ar.d authorities are cited to show that in the contest between Jefferson and Adams site was only one of the many women voters in New Jer sey. It does not appear whether New Jersey was considered then, as now—a foreign slule. Tiik president’s position brifiy stated is tliis: When a mill), republican or democrat, becomes a part of the business organization of any administration lie is bound by every obligation of honor to assist within bis sphere in its successful operation. This obligation involves not only the proper performance of ollicial duty, but good faith and fidelity, which forbid active participation in partisan demonstrations conducted on the theory that the administration of the govern ment is not entitled to tlio confidence and respect of the people. In other words, the administration of the govern ment or of any department of the gov ernment is not to he trusted to those who aggressively and constantly endeavor to destroy the confidence of the people in tlie party responsible for such adminis tration. To govern successfully the sub ordinates must be thoroughly loyal to the administration in power. The presi dent believes that the people of this country will not require that tlie best re sults of administrative endeavor shall be reached with agencies disloyal to tlie ad- fninistration. seems to be true at Cuthbert, Bainbridge, Tallahassee and all intermediate sections. It is quite true that this route to Florida has much in it to commend it to those contemplating building a railroad. Florida is a country of wonderful de velopment. Only yesterday we read the statement that "the people' down there ship out everything they raise, and have to import everything they use. All Flori dians leave Florida in the summer, and the rest of the world comes to Florida in the winter, so that the railroads keep busy all tlie time.” Of course this is smartly overdrawn, yet it carries with it significance. The territory is wortli the seeking, and tlie assertion that those who win it must try conclusions with Mr. Plant, may pass for wluit it is worth. But notwithstanding the fact that this is one of tlie most in iting fields in all the country for railroad de velopment, it remains for tho people along the line of this contemplated road to determine whether or not it will be constructed. We violate no confidence by saying that we are in a position to know that the Columbus and Southern, tlie name by which tlie road will he called, will be built. Whether it will reach the sea board via Albany, or whether it will go by the way of Cuthbert, Bainbridge and on into Florida at Tallahassee, future developments must determine. The man at the head of tliis enterprise will not scheme to get bids for the location. Nor will those who sit quietly by and rest themselves in the contempla tion that they will have a road built for them without any exertion on their part have their hopes realized. This was demonstrated in the Georgia Midland. Atlanta felt safe in the confidence that the road would be built to Atlanta, and that tho promise to Griffin was but a bluff and used as a purchase with which to prize Atlanta. But Gunby Jordan is not that kind of a man, and when the people of Griffin had complied with the demands made upon them, all the money in Georgia could not have influenced him to violate his promises. That the people of Columbus will fully do all that can reasonably be required of them there is every reason to believe. One gentleman, and he is not a capital ist, said to us yesterday that he had such faith in the enterprise that he was ready to start a subscription with $10,000 at any time. All the money needed to make the survey was raised by public subscription, and in thirty minutes. The citizens of Columbus know that we need the road, and have confidence enough in the city and in themselves to build it. The encouragement given nil along tlie line is reassuring, and tlie probabilities are that something tangible will grow out of it in a very short time. trust imposed in him by the election, i This is made necessary under the law. | Twenty days after the election is allowed the governor to count the vote and issue a proclamation d> daring who lias been elected. Thirty days are then given the congressmen-elect to accept or decline the election, and if it is not done within that time it becomes the duty of the gov ernor to declare a vacancy and to order a new election. An instance of this kind occurred in Georgia some years ago and a new election was ordered, while the successful candidate thought himself a full-fledged congressman. POl.iriCAI. POINTS. It is claimed that the figures in nearly every state show that tho greater part of tlie Increased prohibition vote this year was drawn from tlie democrats. Congress is soon to assemble, but people arc not excited about it. Things would move along just as well if the meeting of congress was a year oil' instead of two week*, Ex-Gov< rnor C. It. Davis, prominently men tioned for United States senator from Minnesota before the next legislature, lias lost tlie right of his left eye, and it is feared total blindness may ensue. Tlie Topeka Common wealth promises that within the next four mouths tlie Leavenwor li saloons and tlie Topeka drug stores shall alike be made to feel tlie weight of the law they are defying. Unless the offensive partisanship of the demo crats of the western district of Missouri is checked pretty soon they will he throwing up their hats with a hurrah for Cleveland. They have detected "tlie ring of true democracy” in the Stone letter. Tho mugwumps are encouraging Judge Gres ham to become a presidential candidate, with a great, white soul as his stock in trade. But tlie republicans don’t care for great, white souls. They want Blaine, and they are going to have him. President Cleveland is quite right when lie says that any man holding office under the ad ministration who makes political speeches abus ing the administration is unworthy of its confi dence and should go. The man who feels that the conduct of liis official superior iB Buch as must be denounced should be considered as filing his own notice to quit.

It is quite frequently the ouse humor will creep out in elections, us well ns in other tliintfs. The fourtli congressional dis trict is not an exception in tliis respect. One of the most humorous candidates of nil those competing for congressional honors in the state of Georgia was de veloped in the candidacy of lion. Jas. V. Cannic ael, of Coweta county. His humor was by no means checkered or hampered by liis defeat, and ho again “hobs up as serenely” as though lie knew nothing of reverses in elections. One of the humors of the late congressional elec tion is the fact that he has notified Hon. Thomas W. tirimes that he will contest the election. In a very lengthy and elaborate lotter to the congressman-elect from this district, Mr. Carmichael sots forth that lie will contest on tlie ground, briefly stated: First—That the tickets for the con gressman-elect were in one or two coun ties improperly printed. Second—That the elections in some of the counties were not held as the law provides. Third—That many voters in the dis trict were told that none but democrats would he allowed to vote. lie also states that there are other reasons which persuade him to believe that the congressman-elect was not fairly elected, and upon those various grounds, he proposes to enter a contest. The humor of the above is made all the more apparent when it is remem bered that Mr. Grimes received 315 votes more in Muscogee county alone than Mr. Carmichael received in the entire dis trict. Muscogee is not included in the list of counties that Mr. Carmichael al leges tickets were not properly printed, or among which elections were held in a manner not according to the provisions of law. Mr. Grimes’ vote in the district was "JlOfi, while Mr. Carmichael only re ceived 330. Only one congressman elect ed in tlie state received a higher vote, that being in tlie seventh, where Mr. Clements’ vote was 5043, though his vote over 1 >r. Felton was not as large as that of Mr. Grimes over Mr. Carmichael. Speaking of tho congressional election, Mr. Grimes ou yesterday notified Gov ernor Gordon of his acceptance of the To Cuticura Remedies 1 owe my health, my happiness and my life. A prominent New York druBxist asked me the other day, “Do you still use the Cuticura Remedies; you look to be in perfect health.” My reply was, “I do, and shall always. I have never known what sickness is since I commenced using the Cuticura Reme dies.” Sometimes I am laughed at by praising them to people not acquainted with their merits, but sooner or later they will come to their senses and believe the same as those that use them, os dozens have whom I have told.
