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.

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. flted by this tardy act of Justice.

The Baltimore' Sun says the sweet girl graduate Is “as sweet as her mother." That's about as strong as you could put It . 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.

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.

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.

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.

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. W. B. BURROUGHS.

They are not tho class who rever ence the Sabbath; they are not tho 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 efits.

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.

H. H. JACKSON. 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* para laws to be enacted that will ea st)!* quick trials and speedy exteu tlon*. The Increase of various courts and court expenses and cases piling up In lower courts and supreme court and Increase of court Judges only Increase crime, knowing If punished It will be years beforehand and varioue chances of escape, aa witnesses file out and 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 the pain from hla aching body.
