W. Jordan of No. 427 Piedmont avenue ad' dn'Miad The Georgian aome time ago a polite Inquiry as to the meaning In preaent day poUUca of the worda • nondescript" and "independent." Mr. Jordan's letter waa delayed, much to our regret, noil reached onr attention through another source. . la not too late, however, to give' to Mr: Jordan's Inquiry V ilint inllte and thoughtful attention which the writer and w tin- subject demand. Mr. Jordan la entitled to a serious and laspectful anawce. not couched In flippant frivolity, nor In rank I'HrdaaaaWp, but written with th« desire to furnish frank and honest Information to a frank and honest In quirer. For the word "nondescript" we have not much fo t-.iy. "Non" means not. and "nondescript'' means “not described," therefore we shall not attempt to describe H other than to say that In the general acceptation n nondescript in politics la one whose views and align nientg can neither be prophesied nor understood. The terra la disrespectful and the implication that It conteya of apathy and Indifference adds nothing to the dignity and repute of the object to which It la applied. The word "Independent" Is a much higher and a much nobler term. The prefix "In" In this connection ■1*o means “not." and “independent" means "not de- pendant," which means also free, but by no means abandoned. An Independent In politics. In the .best and general P' ' -e of the term. Is one who la not willing for cabala and cauouses and combinations to dictate either his alignment or to proscribe the limit of hla loyalty to tho convictions which he entertains. An independent may be a better Democrat or a better Republican than a regular muons slave who blindly votes what the cliques and murine* declare it Is his duty to vote. An Independent Is a man who thinks for himself and acts for himself, and In moat cases the Independent In our present day politics In that man who chooses to decide for himself whether orgunUatlana are true or untrue to the people and to the prlndpler which they profess to advocate. A Democrat, for Instance, who by study and Inhert (mire has Imbibed an Indeatructlblo belief In tho prln clplee of the Democratic party ae-lald down by Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson, or n Republican who, by tbr same process, has become a fixed believer In the Plena which descended from Alexander Hamilton and Abraham Lincoln lo the Republican party, may find upon ■x cnslons that selfish cliques and rings, covetous only of ixiwer, and not of principle, seeking self preferment In' "Parti of the triumph of principles, reaching after per- bibi.iI fame and profi' rather than the establishment of the groat principles which,concern popular rights and liberties, offend the horesty and the Individuality of In dependent men eren through the ranks of tne separata ■ orgiiniaatlons to which they belong. Thoso men of proven loyalty to the great principles of jK.litlral parties, and scorning the spurious loyalty of spoils, sometimes find It necessary to rebuke the self- lidtpesa and corruption of the cliques and cahalf of their own organisations, and to stand like brave men and true men for principle! and great policies, rather than for expediency and for selfish men. Such Independents deserve to be ranked among tho grentest and the noblest figures of $e political history of this country. Such a man waa John O. Calhoun, the South's in- comparable statesman, to whom priyplple was always transcendent over men, and who followed consistently the prtnclplea of his creed, even If they led counter to the schemes and organised treason of selflih repreaenta- tlves. If there la any man In this garish age of selfish potttles who would Impugn tbo Integrity or tho civic use fulness of John C. Calhoun because he was an Indepen dent, the opportunity la open to him hero. * 1 , Alexander Stephens waa such a man, when In the de- fenad of hla consistency and Integrity, he flung Into the face of the ruling forces of thg Eighth congressional district of Georgia, the- statement that ho wka able to • loir hla own aklllet," and challenging faction to a teat of strength from which It shrank, demonstrated as he always did that he did not hesitate to dare the preju dices of a people whose dearest Interests he defended. Such a man waa William J. Bryan, who time and again In Nebraska followed hla party principles when it led against hla party leaden, and who Uvea today in the respect and confidence of the Democratic party above all the trickatera and ftme-aervers of the genera tion about him. It waa men tyke these who In the stormy elecllop^of I'M. rose above the claims of faction, and in the Interest of patriotism and the public welfare, rebuked the Iniqui ties of the Republican party as represented by James G. Blaine, and reenthroned by their Independent votes the Democracy under the first admlnlstrattoa of ■ Orover Clc -land, of New York. * These were the men, who in the loot election ex pressed their disapproval or the barter and sale of Dem ocratic principles to mess expediency and the hope of Mjecesa as represented by Alton Parker, and out of re buke to the disloyalty of leaders, elected Theodore Rooso- 'elt by over a million majority to Uw presidency of the l ulled States. \\- ,ay to Mr.'Jordan that parties «*n necessary for ir,< i:i >mph of prtnclplea in this republic. Without or ganu.-'l effort and co-operation. principles and policies cannot be carried to success, and In the main we believe tbht no light and trivial consideration should move men n> separata themselves from theli ties and tbs politi cal organisations to which tbsy belong. Hut we do not hesitate on the other hand to express here the view that the chief mission of parties Is to se- i ure the triumph of principles, not to establish the cue- < e.s of individuals or the distribution of-spoils ’• irtles were framed for this purpose. Political or- itlons were created tor this cause alone, and when- political parties or political organisations forget principles to which he committed his loyalty and to re buke the men whose apostasy to principle Is treasonable bpth to party and to people. W| believe In parties, and doubtless Mr. Jordan does too, but we feel sure that Mr- Jordan. If he Js the honest citizen we take him to be, will agree that no honest and fearless citizen who believes In certain principles, and j has Joined himself to certain organizations or parties to < Btabllnh them. Is bound to sustain these organizations when they forgot dr betray the principles and. policies upon which they were founded. To let this spirit he J known In tho way to hold political organizations to their faith. . Tho name Independent is growing In dignity and re spect throughout the republic. It rtever had greater cur rency and greater weight than it has today. It Is the spirit that Is shedulng the light of publicity upon the rot tenness and corruption of the age. It Is tho spirit that Is bolding parties to. a stern accountability for loyalty and consistency to their professions, and It is the only spirit hy which, in the midst of the seething and selfish politics of tbls # age, the* integrity of parties cau he re stored and the‘righto and liberties of the people be re established, . If Mr. Jordan does not like this definition and will give *tis his reasons for dissent, we shall be glad to dls cuts the matter further and courteously with him. Occasions such as these, however, while keeping alive the recollection of the r!vi! conflict and its leaders, are not Intended to embitter the section* which are once more living In peace and harmony, working out their common destiny In fraternal good will. Their {jurpose is to teach the youth of the rising generation something of the heroism and self-sacrifice ol+the Southern people during the four years of bitter trial through which they passer!, and thus to Inspire them to heroic courage In the cause of all the people should a sinister fortune evei plunge us Into war again. After.the accident King Alfonso exclaimed: “I thank God for having protected me and my family.” Hopeful'.

The death of Arthur Pue Gorman removes from the stage of public affairs onu of the most conspicuous figures In the Democratic party. For, a quarter of a century, with tho exception of three years spent'In private life, be has been a member of the United States senate and has always been look ed upon as one of the most vigorous and conspicuous members of that august body. Individually he may well be regarded as a conspicu ous example of the self-made man. He began Ilfo as a page In the senate, when he was but 13 years of ago, and discharged the duties of that position until long after he had attained hi* majority. After serving In ths upper and lower bouse of the Maryland legislature, ho was sent to the Federal senate In 1881, and for twenty- five years continued' as the leader of tho Democraflc party In his native state. Now that he has gone to his last reward thoro will no doubt be many conflicting opinions as to tyls character and work. That he waa a man of extraordinary ability there can be no question. But ho was, after all, a politician rather than a statesman, and be held, per haps, too strictly to % tbe Idea that "only fools and dead men never change their opinions.” Thoro wns a cor tain amount of Instability In his character which dis counted all his better achievements. ' ■' But he possessed a personal magnetism which made for him warm and lasting friends, while his genius for political organisation wrs universally recognized. , His death Is too recent for tho world to see him In tho true perspective, perhaps, but his determined and heroic opposition to tho force hill la 1889 will long be accepted as covering a multitude of sins. He made a gallant stand In behalf of the rights of the South at a time when they seemed to bo seriously Imperiled and bayonets behind the ballots" became almost an accom plfshed fact. His great abilities directed along the loftier linos of statesmanship, Instead of tho arta of the political boss, would have secured to him n more tasting fame, but he wns a man of many excellent qualities of mind and heart, and his death Is sincerely mourned. .Some of the methods employed by the beef trust In nfnking "country snusago" would make a nice, clean link of "riot dog" far preferable.^ Jefferson Davis’ Birtbday. Sunday wbb the 98th nnnlvcrsary.of the birth of Jef- fqrsoo Davis and throughout the Southern states appro priate ceremonies are being held In honor of his memocy. At,the state capitol Hon. Hooper Alexander deliver cd an address on the life and character of the great chieftain which was marked by the eloquence and forco which always characterise his uttorsnccs, and a number of crosses of honor were delivered to deserving vete rans by the Daughters of the Confederacy. There Is no man In the civil or military history of the Confederacy who holds a warmer place In the hearts of the Southern people than Jefferson Davis. It has never been contended that In well rounded character and Intellectual force he was the equal of Robert E. Lee. This stainless knight of the civil war stands out -In the memory of the people of eve-y country as so perfect lit every aspect of hi* nature that even at this period after his death ha appeara to belong more to the paladins of Godfrey end Richard or to the Round Tatde companions of Arthur rather-than to the history of modern times or ths heroes of recent conflicts. But a peculiar pathos attaches to the life and suf ferings of Jefferaon Davis. That be, too, was a high- minded patriot who dedicated the best efforts of his mind and heart to the cau8e of the Confederacy there can be no doubt. Hut over and beyond this ht linger* In the recollec tion of the people a« V- 3 Incarnation of the "storm- cradjed nation that fell," snd In the persecutions to which he was subjected he was In *a large measure a vicarious sacrifice for the whole 8oulh. both civil and military. ^ ^ It would have bean enough for a man of his deli cate sensibilities that he should be taunted as s traitor when, as all the unbiased world realizes today, he was but contending for a theory of government which had. found foUowera North and South ever since the founds-’ tIon of the republic. But the persecution did pot stop at any such ab straction as taunts and sneers. . . v It win always remain aa a blot, upon the civiliza tion of our common country that an old man. bowed with the weight of years and sorrow*. should hare been manacled by the upstart Miles. History Is cpmlng to do him justice as time goes by. la a recent encyclo pedia, published by one of the largest Onus In the North, and general In tta circulation, we read that he was "sub jected to ty>e needle** degradation of manacles." and the beat thought throughout the North fully realises that fact now. It matters but little whether Theodore Roosevelt to the feeble end fast falling widow of the dead chieftain for the strictures passed apod him while the youthfur author was making his first flight, into H.V Private Leased wire.

Editor The Georgian: The attitude of the “Goddess of Jus tice" Is represented as that of bllnd- -of indiscrimination toward the Individual or corporation of Individual*. No Reasonable person will deny the equltaoleness of such construction.

Imploring God to hold In terrible responsibility that nationality, '.hat stated and that city w hose law -makers and courts of Justice "pervert" their functions by "special privileges*' and partial administration. And then I said to myself: “Our na tional life I* fast drifting Into an un written but sadly destructive nobility, which poisoned and killed the Roman, as well as every other government that has Internally brought on Its own de struction.” If the inamnThn-bllnd element, the nobility element, that can lobby the making and administration of laws to suit their own aggrandizement, con venience and indulgence, had never existed In this world, what a higher record of history would have been w rit ten. They are not the class who rever ence the Sabbath; they are not the class who love Justice and mercy: they are not the class, as The, Georgian tersely pointed out recently,-who help ‘'struggling enterprise*/' but they nre the class who love to reap all the ben efit*. \ conclusion: Tho element ot true manhood that still exist* in our na tion should see to It that the millions of employees, the hilples* little new* bsy* not r excepted, shall have their righteous freedom and rest on Sun day. Wage slavery on the Sabbath discounts the chattel slavery of the week that follows It. We should see to It that neither the expression of our statutory laws nor their interpretation or administration shall concede any rights or privileges to the better-to-do or wealthy not Vouch-safed to those without property —the violations of the rich class must not be simply winked at while there Is punishment for the humble and grind ing for “the faces of the poor.” ■ Very respectfully, J.

Editor The Georgian: It Is summer time, with hot weather, decayed fruits and bad sanitary condi- dltlons that usually cause alarm when mim»rous deaths and a large amount of sickness before effort Is made to check It. Would you not confer a great favor by requesting the people all over the state, and.especially the In habitants of tho various towns to see to It at once that all sanitary condi tion* are compiled with gnd rfglldly enforced from now until frost. Ijjvery town should have a board of health guided by advice of one or more physi cian* to prevent sickness. Every well that drinking water Is used from should be ventilated at the top and all the water drawn out and mud, etc., taken out at least every sixty or ninety days to prevent fever, etc. Every pond of stagnant water ought to have kerosene oil poured Into It more or less in pro portion to Its size, and If In danger of giving away from a big ^downpour of rains during the summer the dam should be strengthened now or the wa ter allowed to run out, for the giving way of dams and water running out In summer, leaving (he mud and muck ex posed* to hot sun causes a death-breed ing mfazma to be strenuously avoided H. H. JACKSON. Simplify the Laws. Editor The Georgian: Much has been said regarding the de lay of the courts as an excuse for lynch and mob law. The courts are powerless aa the laws now exist and the legislative power Is Alone to blame. The legislators meet and pass numer ous laws each time and the various technicalities are taken advantage of by the lawyer* whenever n case Is car ried into the courts. The numerous laws are a menace to Justice and n burden of expenso that Is Increased to an alarming extent. The lawmakers should repeal and modify the laws of every character and simplify them and then the courts will not be delayed and Justice can be given, criminals punish ed and expenses cut In all departments. This would affect the attorneys, for the longer they can keen a cane In first one court and another and relatives and friends of criminals can put up money tho more they get, while the state Is put to more expense for prose cuting. Yet, the public Is always con demning the courts and feel Justified In taking the law In hand, and, In so do ing. cautfe trouble* and a growing ten dency to disregard law. If the laws were simple and easily understood by criminals beforehand, freed from num erou* technicalities and speedy trials were not had and quick punishment, then there would be less cause and ex cuse. Less law, better law: less court expense to taxpayers Is In big demand and on this line It Is hoped the rtey session of the Georgia legislature will set an example to the Southern states. If not the entire country, and If this can’t be done. let them frame a law electing a body of aged, experienced law yers, such, for example, ns Judge Hop kins, Hlllyer and other well known at torneys In the state, whose reputation Is Well known, and by reason of the honorable positions and services to the people In the pest, their chances for observing the need* of the times, pre pare laws to be enacted that will en able quick trials an*! speedy exeeu tions. The Increase of various courts and court expenses and cases piling up In lower courts and supreme court and Increase of court judge* only Increase rime, knowing If punished It will be ttor* beforehand and various chances of escape, a* witnesses die out and facts are forgotten. Decrease and sim plify law or a big Increase of mob and lynch law will result. This Is the only solution of the present grave question which affects every citizen, male and female, white and black, for worse conditions than those which are now at hand H. M. JACKSON. GO.

And It 1* good to know that the mother's loving heart das richly repaid for her efforts. At the age of 19 Bayard Taylor be gan his travels and writings. From the beginning he was successful A few years later he married Mary Agnew, the sweetheart of his boyhodd. But, alas; the sweet companionnhip did not last long. Mary, “the pale sweet flower,” lmd consumption, and soon passed Into another life. Under the shadow of this great sorrow the poet wrote some of his most beauti ful poems. And who can read "The Winter Sol stice" or “Autumnal Vespers*' without feeling a response to the heart-beats In these exquisite poems. * “The light is dying out o*er all the land, And In my heart the light Is dying. She My life's beat life, 1* fading silently From earth, from me, and from tho dreams wo planned Since first love led ua with hlz beam ing hand From hope to hope, yet kept his crown In store. The light I* dying out o'er nil the land: To rpo it comes no more.” *T never knew the autumnal eves could wear. With all their pomp, so drear a hue of death; I never knew their still and solemn breath* Could rob the breaking heart of strength to bear. Feeding the blind submission of de spair. Yet peace, sad soull reproach and pity shine Suffused through tears; bend thou in prayer. Rebued by Love divine.'* Later Jie wrote “The Phantom” and "The Mystery,” two beautiful poems that hold the sadness of earth blended with the sweet faith of heaven. From ■The Mystery” we get these lines: "But thou had*t gone,—gone from the dreary land, Gone from the storms let loose on every' hill, Lured by the sweet persuasion of a hand • Which leads thee somewhere in the distance still. 9 • • • • • 'Where e’er thou art, I know thou wearest yet # The same bewildering beauty, sanc- Ufltd By calmer Joys, and touched with Boft regret % * For him who seeks, but cannot reach thy side.” After the death of bis wife, Taylor again began his travels. And it 1* said "pen In hand he traveled and wrote.” He delivered course after course of lectures in the brief nightly pauses of his long winter Journeys; he wrote novels, he wrote editorials, criticisms, letters and miscellaneous article* for the magazines and newspapers. "He tolled as few men hove tolled at any profession or for any end." In ”A’ Wayside Dream,” the poet takes the render Into the silence of his heart, and tells him something of the thoughts a that come to him while he Journeys* far from the homo of his boyhood. It was In Florence, 186L when he was recovering from a fever that he wn-ic “(’tisa (Suldl Windows.” In this old paluco Mrs. Browning had lived while In Florence, and It warms one’s heart to read his tender appreciation of this great woman, whose spirit he fancied hovered near him and banished the pain from his aching body.
