‘Independents” and “Nondescripts.
Mr. J. \V. Jordan of No. 427 Piedmont avenue ad
ii ?*aed The Georgian some time ago a polite Inquiry
Hi to the meaning In present day politics of the words
■’•nondescript" and "Independent."
Mr. Jordan's letter was delayed, much to our regret,
n l reached our attention through another source. It
. 1» not too late, however, to give to Mr. Jordan's -Inquiry
aiiut polite and thoughtful attention which the writer and
ih* subject demand.
* Mr. Jordan Is entitled to a serious and respectful
i, wer, not couched In flippant frivolity, noi In rank
luirifsanshlp, but written with the desire to furnish
frank and honest Information to a frank and honest In
<1 ulrer.
For the word “nondescript" we have not much to
r. "Non" means not, and “noudeacrlpt" means "not
ri' seribed,” therefore wc shall not attempt to describe
it other than to say that In the general acceptation a
nondescript In politics Is one whose views and align
no nts can neither be prophesied nor understood. The
term Is disrespectful and the Implication that It conveys
of atwthy and Indifference adds nothing to tho dignity
m,d repute of the object to which It is applied.
The word "Independent" Is a much higher and a
much nobler term. The prolix "In” In this connection
l ire means "not," and "Independent” means "not de-
i•indent,” which means also free, but by no means
abandoned.
An Independent In politics. In the best and general
erase of the term. Is one who Is uot willing for cabals
end caucuses and combinations to dictate either his
alignment or to prescribe the limit of his loyalty to'the
convictions which he entertains. An Independent may be
a better Democrat or a better Republican than a regular
caucus slave who blindly votes what the dlqnes and
caucuses declare It la his duty to vote. An Independent
Ih a ninn who thlnksjor himself and acts for himself, and
In most cases the Independent In our present day politics
Ih Hint man who chooses to decide for himself whethor
on:imitations are true or untrue to the people and to-the
principle:’ which they profess to advocate.
A Democrat, for Instance, who by study and Inheri
tance han Imbibed nn Indestructible belief In the prln-
< iples of tho Democratic party as laid down by Thomas
.icffsrsos and Andrew Jackson, or a Republican who, by
tin r.ime process, has become a fixed believer In the
lfitrau which descended from Alexander Hamilton and
Aiuaham Lincoln to tho Republican party, may find upon
missions that selfish cliques and rings, covetous only of
ii’iver, and not of principle, seeking self preferment In
st' <1 of tho triumph of principles, reaching after per-
sm tl fame and proll' rather than the establishment of
th- great principles which concern popular rights and
lliii'i-ties, offend the horeaty and the Individuality of In-
dopondent men even through the ranks of tne separate
otgi nlxations to which they belong.
These men of proven loyalty to the great principles
of iH'iitical parties, and scorning the spurious loyalty
t>r spoils, sometimes find It necessary to rebuke the self
ishness’and corruption of the cliques and cabals of their
<>»n organisations, and to stand like brave men and
trur men far principle:. and great policies, rather than
for expediency and for selllsh men.
Such Independents deservo to be ranked among the
g:< ntest and the noblest figures of the political history
of this country.
Such a man was John C. Calhoun, the South's In-
coin [arable statesman, to whom principle was always
transcendent over men. and who followed consistently
the principle* of Ms creed, even If they led counter to
the schemes and organized treason of selfish representa
tives. If there Is any man In this garish age of selfish
iH.llilca who would Impugn the Integrity or the civic use-
fulneaa of John C. Calhoun because he was an Indepen-
tl. ni, the opportunity Is open to him here.
Alexander Stephens was such a man, when in the do-
fi'iras of his consistency and Integrity, be flung Into the
face of the ruling forces of the Eighth congressional
•listrfet of Georgia, the statement that he was able to
"note bis own skillet," and challenging faction to a telt
of strength from which It shrank, demonstrated aa he
iil« uya did that ho did not hesitate to dare the preju-
dii > i of a people whose dearest Interests he defended.
Such a man was William J. Bryan, who time and
strain In Nebraska followed his party principles when
It led against his party leaders, and who Uvea today
in the respect and confidence of the Democratic party
slKive all the tricksters and time-servers of the genera
tion about him.
It was men like these who In the stormy election 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 0.
Blaine, and re-enthroned by their Independent votes the
Democracy under the first administration of Grover
n. ietand, of New York.
r These were the men. who In the last election ex-
!•" toed their disapproval of the barter and sale of Dem-
o. -ratlc principles to mere expediency and the hope of
i .i. • ess ax represented by Alton Parker, and out of re-
i.’iko to the disloyalty of leaders, elected Theodore Roose-
x >-lt by over a million majority to the presidency of the
l nlted States.
We say to Mr. Jordan that parties are necessary for
i he triumph of principles In this republic. Without or-
x..nixed effort and cooperation, principles and policies
> Hiiuot be carried to success, and In the main we believe
Hat no light and trivial consideration should move men
1.. - operate themselves from their parties and the politi
cal organisations to which they belong.
But we do not hesitate on the other hand to express
1., o the view that the chief mission of parties Is to se-
|hare the triumph of principles, not to establish the sue-.
• • - of individuals or the distribution of spoils.
Parties were framed for this purpose. Political or-
<ra" cion* were created for this cause alone, aud when-
plilleal parties or political organisations forget
not only the right, but tbe absolute duty of any brave
and honest citizen who has nothing to fear, and nothing
to ask for himself In tbe selfish scramble, to stand by tbe
principles to which he committed bis loyalty and to re
buke the men whose apostasy to principle Is treasonable
both to party and to people.
We believe In parties, and doubtless Mr. Jordan does
too, but we feel sure that Mr. Jordan, If be Is tbe honest
citizen we take him to be, will agree that no honest and
tearless citizen who believes In certain principles, and
ha* joined himself to certain organisations or parties to
establish them. Is bound to sustain these organizations
when they forget or betray the principles and policies
upon which they were founded. To let this spirit be
known In the way to bold political organizations to their
faith.
Tbs name Independent I* growing In dignity aod re

rency and greater weight than It has today. It Is the
spirit that Is sbedulng the light of publicity upon the rot
tenness and corruption of the age. It Is the spirit that

and consistency to their professions, and It Is tbe only
spirit by which. In the midst of the seething and selfish
politics of this age, tbe Integrity of parties can be re
stored and the rights and liberties of tbe people be re
established.
If Mr. Jordan does not like this definition and will
give us his reasons for dissent, we shall be glad to dis
cuss the matter further and courteously with him.

The Death of Senator Gorman.
The death of Arthur Pue Gorman removes from
the stage of public affairs one of the most conspicuous
figurep In tbo Democratic party.
For a quarter of a century, with the exception of
three years spent In private life, he has been a member
of tbe United States senate and has always been look
ed upon as one of the most vigorous and conspicuous
members of that august body.
Individually ho may well be regarded as a consplcu-
ous example of the self-made man. He began life a* a
page In the senate, when he was but It years of age,
and discharged the duties of (bat position until long after
he had attained his majority. After serving In the
upper and lower house of the Maryland legislature, he
was sent to the Federal senate In 1881, and for twenty-
five years continued as the leader of the Democratic
party In his native state.
Now that he has gone to. his last reward there
will no doubt be many conflicting opinions as to his
character and work. That he was a man of extraordinary
ability there can bo no question. Rut he was, after all,
a politician rather than a statesman, and be held, per-
haps, too strictly to the Idea that "only fools and dead
men never change their opinions." There was a cer
tain amount of Instability In his character which dis
counted all his better achievements.
Bpt he possessed a personal magnetism which made
for him warm and lasting friends, while his genius for
political organization wre universally recognised.
His death Is too recent for the world to see him In
the true perspective, perhaps, but his determined and
heroic opposition to the force bill In 1888 will long be
accepted as covering a multitude of sins. He made a
gallant stand In behalf of the rights of tho South at a
time when they seemed to be seriously Imperiled and
"bayonets behind the ballots" became almost an accom
pllshed fact.
His great abilities directed along the loftier lines
of statesmanship, Instead of the aria of the political boss,
would havo secured to him a more lasting fame, but
he was a man of many excellent qualities of mind and
heart, and his death Is sincerely mourned.

Jefferson Davis* Birthday.
Sunday waa the 88th anniversary of the birth of Jef
ferson Darla and throughout the Southern states appro
priate ceremonies are being held In honor of hla memory.
At the state capltol Hon. Hooper Alexander deliver
ed an address on the life and character of the great
chieftain which waa marked by the eloquence and force
which always characterise his utterances, and a number
of croeaea of honor were delivered to deserving vete
rans by tbe Daughter* of tbe Confederacy.
There la no man In tha civil or military history of
the Confederacy who holds a warmer place in th* hearts
of the Southern people than Jefferson Davta. 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 stand* out In tha
memory of the people of eve-y country aa so perfect In
every aspect of his nature that oven at this period after
his death he appears to belong more to the paladins of
Godfrey and Richard or to the Round Table companion*
of Arthur rather than to the history of modern times or
the heroes of recent conflicts. •
Rut a peculiar pathos attaches to the life and auf-
feringa of Jefferson Davis. That he, too, was a high-
minded patriot who dedicated the beat efforts of hit
mind and heart to the cause of the Confederacy there
can be no doubt.
Rut over and beyond this he linger* In the recollec
tion of the people ss Li Incarnation of the “storm-
cradled nation that fell,” and In the pereecutlona to
which he was subjected he wss In a large measure a
vicarious sacrifice for the whole South, both civil snd
military.
It would have been enough for a man of hla deli
cate sensibilities that be should be taunted ea a traitor
when, as all the unblaeed world realises today, he was
but contending for a theory of government which had
found followers North and 8outh ever since the founda
tion of the republic.
But the persecution did not stop at any snch ab
straction aa taunts and sneers.
It wilt always remain ss a blot upon the civilisa
tion of our common country that an oM man, bowed
with the weight of years and sorrows, should have
been manacled by the upetart Miles. History Is coming
to do him justice a* time goes by. In a recent encyclo
pedia. published by one of the largest firms In th* North,
end general In Its circulation, we read that ha waa “sub
jected to the needless degradation of manacles," and the
best thought throughout the North fully realises that fact
now.

The Mecklenburg Declaration.
Editor The Atlanta Georgian:
thank you for your kind letter Just
received. Your very valuable dally I
read with much Interest and great ben
eflt. Nothing more can be said In Its
praise than han been said. I have
bound copies of The Savannah Geor
gian for 1828 and 1829 complete la
two volume*.
Sunday, May 20, was the one hun
dred and thirty-first anniversary of
th* Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence. What thoughts arise at
the mention of this name. Our city
has many useful and valuable men
who claim the Old North State as
their nativity, and I exhibited on Sun
day, May 20, the fac simile copy of
the original document. Wbat a lofty
pride should flit the minds of the de
scendants of these signers. Whet
brave heads and hsarts and hands they
possessed. I can almost picture their
hopes, their fears, their sufferings, and
how we all rejoice In the triumph
which crowned their weary labors, and
gave us a lofty rank amidst the em
plros of the world. This document,
with the original .agreement made by
Eseklel Alexander, chairman of a
committee to make contracts for ball
and cannon, near Charlotte, In 1771,
one of the original signers, 1 will have
on exhibition In the educational de
partment of the state fair In October,
1808, D. V. Tbe autographs of these
signers are eagerly sought by relic
hunters, but thsy are very scarce.

territory was embraced In Carolina at
that time. The tax was two-penc*
on each pound sold to any on* who did
not ship to the mother country. This
unconstitutional tax upon American
■ubjects was resisted by John Culpep
per and his friends, who seised Miller,
the collector, and took alt the moneys
received In his office and used It to
preserve the peace, etc, of hie lit-
tla state of Albemarle. Massachu-
sets*, Maryland and Virginia clam
ored loudly that they shpuld also b*
relieved of taxation, but ware compell
ed to pay. Culpepper wsnt to Eng
land In the Interest of hla people; was
arrested and Jailed, but never tried.
He was a man of ability, and rich In
argument. With the assistance of Lord
Bhaftsbury. he was discharged without
any punishment. Thle occurred a half
century before Carolina was divided
Into two statee, and a century before
the general American revolution.
All honor to the Old North State.

If the mammon-blind 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 thle world, what a higher
record of history would have been writ
ten. They are not tho class who rever

clasi who love justice and mercy; they
are not tho class, as Th* Georgian
tersely pointed out recently, who help
"struggling enterprises," but they are
the class who lore to reap all the ben

In conclusion: The element of true

tlon should see to It that the millions
of employes*,.th* helpless little news

righteous freedom and rest on Sun

We should se* to It that neither the

their Interpretation or administration
shall concede any rights or privileges
to the botter-to-do or wealthy not

—the violations ot tha rich class must
not bo simply winked at while there is

Editor The Georgian:
It Is summit time, with hot weather,
decayed fruits and bad sanitary condl-
dltlons that usually cause alarm when
numerous deaths and a large amount
of sickness before effort ie 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 the various towns to see
to H at ones that all sanitary condi
tions are compiled with gnd rfgtldly
enforced from now until froet. Every
town should have a board of health
guided by advice of one or more physi-
clans-to prevent sickness. Every well
that drinking water la 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 prevsnt fever, etc. Every pond of
stagnant water ought to have kerosene
oil poured Into It more nr less tn pro
portion to Its size, and If In danger of
giving sway 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 ot dams and water running out tn
summer, leaving the mud and muck ex-
meed to hot sun causes a dsath-breed-
ng miasma to b* strenuously avoided.

Simplify the Law*.
Editor The Georgian.’
Much hgs been said regarding the de.
lay of the courts aa an excuse for
lynch and mob law. The courts are
powerless aa the laws now exist and
the legislative power la alone to blame.
The legislators meet and pass numer
ous laws each time and the varlons
technicalities are taken advantage of
by the lawyers whenever a case I* car
ried Into the courts. The numerous
laws are a menace to Justice and a
burden of expense that Is Increased to
in alarming extent. Th* lawmakers
should repeal and modify the taws 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 sit departments.
This would offset the attorneys, for the
longer they can keep n case In tint
on* court and another and relatives
and friend* of criminals can put up
money th* mors thsy get, while the
state It put to more expense for pros*-
curing. Yet, the public It always con
demning the court* and feci justified In
taking th* law In hand, and. In to do
ing. cauS* trouble and a growing ten
dency to disregard law. If the law*
were simple and easily understood by
criminals beforehand, freed from num
erous tschnlcnlttles and speedy trials
were not had and quick punlehment,
then there would be lees cause and ex
cuse. Leas law, better law; less court
expense to taxpayers Is In big demand
and nn this line It ta hoped the next
session of th* Georgia legislature will
set an example to th* Southern states.
If not the entire country, and If this
can't be done, let them frame n law
electing a body of aged, experienced law
yers. such, for example, aa Judge Hop-
tins, Hlltyer and other well known at
torneys In the Mate, whose reputation
la well known, and by reason of the
honorable positions and services to the
people In the past, their chances for
observing ths needs of tbe times, pr*

Bayard Taylor first saw the light In
Chester county. Pa.. In the year 1825.
It I* said that his mother, with lov
ing Intuition, felt the longings of Iter
gifted boy, and, In order to give him
freedom from toll and rime to read his
books, she let him tend the baby mem
here of the family. And It Is good to
know that the mother 1 * loving heart
waa richly repaid for her efforts.
At the age of 19 Bayard Taylor be
gan hie travels and writings. From the
beginning he waa successful.
A few years lator he married Mary
Agnew, the sweetheart of hie boyhood.
But, alas; the sweet companionship
d*d not lost long. Mary, "the pate
sweet flower," had consumption, and
soon passed Into another life. Under
the shadow of this great sorrow th*
poet wrote some ot hie most beauti
ful poems.
And who esn rend "The Winter Sol
stice" or "Autumnal Vespers" without
feeling a response to the heart-beats
In these exquisite poems.
"The light ta dying out o'er all the
land,
And In my heart the light Is dying. 8he
My liters best life, Is fading silently
From earth, from me, and from the
dreams we planned
Since first love led U( with his beam-
Ing hand
From hop* to hope, yet kept his
crown In store.
The light Is dying out o’er all the land:
To me It comes no more."
"I never knew the autumdal eves could
wear.
With all thslr 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 soul! reproach and pity
shine
Suffused through tears; bend thou In
prayer,
Rebued by Love divine."
later he wrote "The Phantom” and
’•The Mystery,” two beautiful poems
that hold the eadnees of earth blended
with the sweet faith of heaven. From
The Mystery" we get thee* lines:
'But thou hadst 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 tn the
distance still.
■Where e’er thou art, I know thou
wearest yet
The same bewildering beauty, sanc
tified
By calmer Joys, and touched with soft
regret
For him who seeks, but cannot
reach thy side."
After the death ot his wife, Taylor
again began hla travels. And It Is said
3 ten In hand he traveled and wrote.”
e delivered course after course of
lectures In the brief nightly pauses of
hie long winter Journeys; no wrote
novels, ne wrote editorials, criticisms,
letters and miscellaneous artlclss for
th* magailnes and newspapers. "He
tolled ns few men have tolled at any
profession or for any end.”
In "A Wayside Dream," the poet
takes ths reader Into tbe silence of hie
heart, and tell* him something of tha
thoughts that coma to him while he
Journeys far from the home of his
boyhood.
It was In Florence, 1817, when he
wax recovering from a fever that hs
wrote "Caaa Guldl Windows." In this
old palace 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
