Thu rumor that ooooecta Senator Albert J. Oesaridta with the Repub lican nomination for tha presidency, la both In lures ting and Important. ' Let us aay In tbe beginning ttmt If this country la to have another Republican president, The Georgian doe* not know any man In tbe list whom It would prefer to Ihe brlllsnt senator from tbe stats of Indiana. The editor of Tba Georgian enjoys an acquaintance with Senator Bev eridge of many years' deration. It begao In a speech by Senator Bever idge before Ibe Marquette Club of Chicago. In which he expreased seu- tlmeata ao broad, so catholic and so lofty In patriotism as to enlist an ad miration and* confidence which baa never bad cause to diminish In the brilliant and eventful years which have made lha subsequent public life of the pnslor from Indiana. Mr. Beveridge Is a typical American. He began at tbe bottom, and with physical and Intellectual purpose of the highest order, lie has worked himself up to a pbyijcal. Intellectual and moral manhood that Is apparently without a flaw. Certaluly no record in public life Is cleaner and better than his. Many years ago In the beginning of hla public career Albert Beveridge lost bis lieautlful and nobis wife who had been tha loving and loyal help- meet of his earlier struggles. lata plug at once to national and almost International repute In the American senate, the young statesman might at almost any time within these years have contracted a marriage that would bars, established him /1 In wealth. In family and In Influence In Hu republic. It la Infinitely to his \i credit that In loyalty to the wile of bla youth, ha haa remained resolutely single, and neither the arnlle* of tbe daughters of Croesus nor the oppor tunity of Ingratiating himself with the colossal “Intereau'' that hav4 am ply "rewarded" »o maity American statesmen, have ever Influenced him from hla career of probity and of consecration to public matters. He Is to day a poor man whose Income conalata of hla senatorial salary aud Ibe dil igent work or hla brilliant pen In the American periodicals and public mag- agltic*. No harder working mail lives In the senate today than he. No man whose politics! aud personal Integrity Is more above the suspicion of wrong doing. Moreovsr. he Is of an Independent spirit that has uixin more l ban one great occasion flung down the gauntlat to caucus tyranny aml to the dictate* of tho moneyed Interest*, and ha* defended manhood and patriotism In Ihe eloquent advocacy of freat cause* that aTe near to the people * heart*. If Albert Beveridge does uot have the almusl dare devil courage of Theodore Roosevelt, he la yat built along that resolute and definite pattern that ha* given him convictions and the unfailing courage or them. And what be has writ In tb* records of the aenate la not likely to ever bring to hint a blu«h of shame or a shadow of discredit before the iteople whom he has loyally and brilliantly served. I letter still. Senator Beveridge, of Indiana, la a catholic minded states man who ba* never stooped to sectional bitterness, and who haa not failed when Ihe occasion demanded It. to remember hi* loyalty to the whole country without regard to section or to previous division* among It* peo ple. If would lie Ulfflciilt to And In tb* Republican rank* a statesman more Irreproachable or more acceptable than this young, eloquent, enthu siastic and stainless publicist who In ao much In the public eye. Poor In IKicket. bin rich In energy, overflowing with zeal, magnlcently equipped In menial and physical stamina and attainment, and of the broadest spir it of American public life, he does Indeed offer to hie party as much or more than any statesman In Its rank*, of those winning, those satisfying, and thoso Inspiring qualities which make for -success In great political campaigns. In the noh-pariUan Interval which punctuates great presidential can vasses, H Is a genuine pleasure to be able from the standpoint of a well- founded and lung-tested friendship and observation, to pay a sincere and disinterested tribute to one who la as much a personal friend as a politi cal antagonist. Senator Beveridge has been a loyal Republican, but he baa leaned more and mon\ toward that progressive aud Democratic Re- pulillcanlam of which ihe President la a type, and whose scope and whose IHipular vision haa been ao marvelously enlarged by the eloquence of Bryan and the ceaseless and powerful advocacies of Hearst. With all lls heart. The Georgian trust* that some great Democrat may In commissioned by the people to restore tho government to Its con stitutions! and popular standards. But we do not hesitate to say that If the fortunes of the coming bat tle am to follow the Republican standards to victory, we do not know In all the ranks any leader whose triumph we could acclaim with more of sincerity end more of confidence than Ihe able, brilliant and widely pa triotic young aenatbr from Indiana.

A CASE OF RAILROAD BAD JUDGMENT OR INCON- SIDERATION. We submit to the after reflection of our reform railway administra tion* a case which come* to ua from a traveler Just arrived In Atlanta. A few day* ago this gentleman, then In Jacksonville, Fla., wishing to come to Ailanta. went lo tho local ticket offlee. purchased a ticket, and wa* told that there were two trains leaving Jacksonville at night, one at 7:4b and Ihe other at 9:10. aud was kindly advised by tbe local agent to take the P:lb train because It was made up In Jacksonville, because Its KChedylv time was nearly always made, because Its convtnlences were just as great as those of tlis other train, and because It* hour of arrival In Ailanta was more convenient than the other. Acting upon this very considerate Information, our traveler take* the triilu leaving Jacksonville at 8:10 |i. m. lie board* that train under the clearly Implied contract that It would make Its schedule time to Atlanta, barring aay accident lo that train or to Its engine, and barring any obstruction on the track «» route. The train starts on time and proceeds smoothly and beautifully on It* way. It Is making Its schedule perfectly, reaching every station on time, and giving every promise of landing Its passengers In AUauta at tho appointed hour. Suddenly about 30 mile* north of Jesup the train cornea to a sudden *tnp. As the stop Is prolonged beyond the usual limit accorded to small stallou*. thoso passengers who are awake look out nf the windows, and some In ihe sleeper* draw thetr curtains to see tha causa of the delay. These people are astonished to note that Ibe engtu* from their train go ing smoothly and perfectly on lu appointed way. Is detached and coupled on to a train standing on an adjoining track which It subsequently dis covered to lie Ihe tra'lti that left Jacksonlvlle al 7:4b p. tu. The engine of (his train list given out and I* scarcely able In make more than IB or lb miles sii hour. Consequently at this point the 7:4S train I* halted to nwalt the arrival of the train which left Jacksonville at 8:10, and this sec ond train carrying perhaps an equal number nf passengers, many of them sleeping car passengers In two coaches, is hailed. It* head Is cut off and jmt mi the bwly of the other train, which, with this good enghx'.' tiiiw goes rejoicing on Its way, while Ihefeld wheexy exhausted engine which has given out. Is attached to tho train on time which thereafter becomes a derelict and creeps at a snail's pace toward Macon, arriving there four hours behind time and at Atlauta about three hours and forty-five nitu- J utes late It nisi lie added Incidentally that every man on this outraged and re tarded train routes Into Atlanta with a sense of wroug and of tudlgoant protest against Hie railroad management which had, of Its own accord. kii angled its progress at a way station In order to expedite the progress of another train. Now be II understood that this train leaving Jacksonville st 8:10'had left there under the clearly Implied contract that It would make Its sched ule (line barring any accidents to the train or obstruction of the road. Let li lie understood that this train vunnlug on thsae condition*, without any accident to engine or cars and without any obstruction of the road, and without any fault of Its own. I* halted and practically killed at a way sta tion In order that It* perfectly moving locomotive power should be trans ferred to another train that had fallen late. Now the queallon Is. was It right either In law- nr In equity to violate the cum rant under which the passenger* of th* 8:10 train bought their tickets and begun thslr Journey? * Would not equity and Juatice both demand that a train that bad been unfortunate should bear Its own misfortune and await Ita own remedy, and that Its passeugvr* should suffer the results of tbe unavoidable ac cident which had delayed them, instead of visiting all Ihe misfortunes of the Erst train upon an equal number or lunocent passengers In Ihe aee- iiud and fortunate trslu? Moreover, having perpe'isted I hie. which was most unquestionable Injustice, and JuetlfvIhk It under the plea of through service, would It out have beeu an Imperative obligation that the railroad officials at whose command this Injustice was worked, should start up a new- engine from Its aupplj at Jesup and start It uut Immediately to the relief of the triiu ; whose schedules had been voluntarily destroyed by the offlclala, or. In case the engine* at Jasup were not available, would It not have been also equal ly Imperative for the train dlapatchtr* or the matter of transportation to allr up at Macon, where there wen undoubtedly available engines, a new locomotive and to start It down to meat and relltve tbe mlatnated train and at least to dlmlnlab Ha daisy In reaching Ita terminal point? Aa a consequence of th* other policy, instead of having one tralu. which was the first train, reach Atlanta late, the road bad v two trains reaching Atlanta from three to four hours late. Twj sets of passenger* were thoroughly disgruntled and annoyed, on* set by tb* Irritation of an unavoidable accident, and thu other set positively Indignant and outraged by tbe apparent Injustice wfilch had strangled a train moving properly and aucoeasfully, In tbe interest of another train which had been delayed under Ihe limitation* prescribed In the Implied contract. It Is perfectly certain that Incidents like these do as much to enrage tbe public toward the transportation lines as any other form or Injustice or Irregularity which their management may practice, and It la oat of Just such Incidents aa Ibeae that dsvalopa the spirit of prejudice and III will which has done In tbe past and Is doing now, so much to handicap tho later and more laudable efforts of coproratluns to serve the public Justly and acceptably. The Grady Ho*pit*l Trustees. There I* a goad deal more than ap pears upon tbe surface In the agitation by Alderman Curtis for a change In the manner nf electing the trustees of the Grady hospital. It la very far front the purpose of The Georgian to Indulge In any criti cism of any Individual In connection wth the Grady hospital. Tbe Institu tion I* a public one, high, noble and benefleent In Ita purpose and In Ita alms, and I* very near to tha heart of Atlanta. That there have been rritiefama of Its management In recent years, nl one who reads tbe pnblle prints ean fall to remember. That many errors either of neglect or of prejudice In Its management should be corrected, no public spirited citizen will for a moment protest. And the fact that there has been so much of comment aud of criticism within tbia time seema to make at least a definite line of poli cy wholesome and desirable. Agita tion la the Invaluable hand maiden of lirngreas, and when things appear to grow either apathetic or stagnant, nothing la better than a revolution to bring about a new deal and to give things a fresh start from a primary basis. ( There le no especial objtctlon to hav ing two or three of the Grady truateaa from a single ward, provided they are good men: and under tbe present sys tem there are four men from one of the ward* of tbe city and three from another ward. While there may be some objection to electing these trus tee* by wards. It Is quit* probable that for • .time, at least, the experiment la worth trying to elect tbe trustees In thla way so that cltlsana of different wards In the city can carry their pro test* to the If especial representative*. More than this, tbe htblt of putting Into position men who are already loaded with public hooora and respon sibilities, frequently results In trus tees whd have neither time nor Incli nation to gtv* to directing tha affair* of the hospital. And so, since the ordinance la pi ed, we trust that the experiment may be given a fair trial, and that lha may or will not see lit to veto or Imped* the revolution In tb* affaire of thla noble and Indispensable Institution. QUIETING AN APPREHEN SION*—The Warrenton New* es says to calm the apprehension of Mr. Martin V. Calvin that Mr. Wataon may lead the Farmers' Un ion Into partisan politics. In this connection Tbe News says: “Mr. Wataon will never lead the Union Into partisan politics, and our can did opinion la that th* men who compose the Farmers' Union have killed partisan politics so dead In the state of Georgia that all the engine belli, gonga and steam whittles on every locomotive In the state couldn't summon enough mourners to hold a constable's election.” This Is strongly put, but If any part of It Is true. It la enough to add rejoicing to tbs optimism of thoughtful citizens In this ad vancing day. A BOLD, STRIKING PROTEST AGAINST R. R.

It seema that rail roads have n total disregard for law or life. For Instance: The new road, belonging to the L. A N.. between Car- tersvllle and Knoxville, Is unsafe and all kinds of freight trains ure run over It on Hunday. I was a railway conductor for twen ty-one years, was never In a wreck In my life. I really don't know how one feels when thus endangered. There Is no possible excuse for hav- Ing them. I lay It down as a broad fact, without fear «»» any kind of con tradiction. that when a wreck occurs on any railroad, some person or persons are to blame for it. one night In 1801 f left Hlrmlnghsm.

Mr. Editor, slay ing people as the railroads are doing Is murder, pure end simple. Death and destruction are tn Just such orders as 1 received at Parrish. For the last twen ty days I huve been employed by an Atlanta man. a man who stands high financially, socially, who holds Impor tant positions In your municipal gov ernment. a professor of religion, a Hun day school superintendent, to aaslst In building a railroad for him out of Greenville. 8.
