One of the moat Important measures which will come up for consideration at the present session of the Gen eral Assembly Is a bill prohibiting speculation on mar gins in commodlUes for future delivery. Tbia Is a measure which will call for the most ma ture deliberation and the most persistent effort de manded by any bill before tbe legislative body. On the . no hand tbere Is no desire, and tbere should be no desire, to restrict or destroy legitimate transactions or tn invade tbe natural rights of commerce and Industry. At the same time tbere is an unalterable determi nation on the part of the people In general to wipe out, once and forever, the Iniquitous system of bucket-shop speculations which are s gamble, pure and simple, with no thought of an actual delivery of the commodities purchased on margins. A recent writer on the subject Informs us that thn name of "bucket-shop” originated In London about fifty years ago In tbe slums of tbe East End where the riff raff went about with their "buckete” collecting the swill from brrr-kcgs thrown out of the saloons, and that tho obscure haunts where these unholy gleaners assem bled to enjoy their revels were known as "bucket-shops." It Is not a very creditable origin for the name of a business which has become io generally established, but' according to nil Information of Its practices It seems eminently well bestowed. There Is n marked distinction between a legitimate exchange having membership on the great cotton, stock or produce exchanges of tbe large centers and these Ir responsible "bucket shops" which carry fraud on their very face. On the New York or New Orleans cotton exchange, for Instance, transactions of less than 100 bales are not allowed and It Is an absolute anil estab lished rule that all trade* must be for actual delivery. Tho inan who buys a thousand bales of cotton or a thou sand bushels of wheat for October delivery, must wbqn October arrives, accept and pay for that cotton or wheat There Is. of course, nothing to prevent him from selling tils wheat or cotton before the time of delfvery arrives. Tho friends and advocates of the legitimate exchanges say frankly that It Is thereby possible to gamble, even on the recognlzod exchangee, but they argue that It Is possible to gamble on practically every contingency of life, It a man Is so minded. They hold that the legitimate use of the future mar ket Is Indispensable to tbe operation of factories. A spinner, for Instance, receives an offer for so many bales of cotton goods today, to be delivered next Octo ber. He must begin at once to spin these goods. He goes on the exchange and buys enough cotton at tho prlco for October delivery, makes his estimate of the cost of the cloth on this boats and thereby Insures him self against any loss by fluctuation of the market when the time comee for the delivery of the good*. He has actually bought so many bales of cotton at a given price for October delivery to replace the cotton be has used in making up the cotton good* to be delivered tn Octo ber. It le contended that otherwise the work of spinning would be more of a speculation than prevails under tbe present system. There is no objection In any quarter to this legiti mate practice, and tbe friends of the legitimate ex changes'contend that It Is absolutely necessary to the conduct *of the eplanlng business. The concerns are as anxious as any one else to eliminate the bucket shops. In tbe first plsee It ts con tended that such bucket shopper* do not and could not bavi membership on tbe large exchangee, (t Is a known fact that no man who has ever bad any connection with 11 bucket shop can buy a seat on the large exchanges at any price. He Is a marked man from the time he on- tors the bucket shop business. He cannot legitimately get quotations from the exchanges, and consequently he reeorte to such practices as tapping the wires or se curing secret Information from some unworthy member of the big exchanges who has not yet been discovered and exposed. Theee bucket shops are known to manipulate their quotations In order to wipe out the margins of custom ers who would otherwise stand to make a profit* and this ts done In the most shameless manner by a system of "wash sales" which are nothing m6re than fictitious quotations during s fluctuating market so as to wipe out i ha margin of a speculator when quotations are alleged to fall below a point covered by the margins This Is hut one of the methods employed, while It Is s known fact that none of the contracts made are In tended to be executed, for the simple reason that the men who make them have no seat od the big exchanges. The customer Is simply betting with the members of the bucket shop—and It Is not necessary to say that the lat ter have all the advantage. The Georgian has no desire to do anything more than to present this question dearly before the people The whole country le justly aroused against the. bucket t-hops sad the state of Georgia owes It to Itself to enact legislation which will wipe them out forever. Hut the question naturally arises would It not be bet ter to begin, at least* by legislating only against what are known to be fraudulent and Illegal concerns before aiming a blow at one of the component peris of a ays- t<-m of legitimate business? Thera may he some at tendant evils even on the pert of tbe recognised ex- • h inges, but we should look at the matter from a prac tical point of view, consider the fact that It Is possible to gamble even on the most legitimate transactions, and thoa go ont after the known abases before disorganis ing the entire system of commerce. This distinction ts made by many of the most prom inent and substantial dtlsena of the state—men who are as anxious for the suppression of the bucket shops es any cne else, end It seems but fair that this dlttlnctlon -hould be taken Into consideration by the fair-minded and donate members of the legislature who have this Bl " ‘ W'tr In hand. The Telegraph and Its Editor. A few days ago w-e quoted from Tho Macon Tele graph an outHide paragraph over which The* Telegraph hod written a sarcastic headline, and both headline and paragraph were in pursuance of a policy which The Tele graph has of late developed, to reflect upon the Democra cy and consistency of the editor of this paper. To this paragraph and headline we replied In kind. We took occasion to call attention to a most abuslVe article which The Telegraph had written two years ago about Sir. William J. Bryaty and we went so far as to suggest that this editorial might be seriously em barrassing to,so ardent a professor of Democracy as The Telegraph in case Mr. Bryan's present magnificent popu larity should crystall.ze Into a third nomination for the presidency. To this The Telegraph makes an elaborate and lengthy reply which seeks to cover Its defense upon many sins of omission and of commission. We quote one paragraph for the purpose of personal comment: » ‘ Every man that knows anything about the con duct of a dally newspaper must know that It re quires many pens and several scissors to make ns great a paper as The Telegraph, and that the edi tor-in-chief cannot drive them all. Of course The Telegraph as an organized. Incorporated Institution Is morally and legally responsible for all that appears In Its columns, nnd we wish In no way to escape any such responsibility; but ns Tho Georgian clinrgeB malice aforethought to the Individual head of this paper, whoso name le called, the fact that Mr. Pen dleton never sew the paragraph until The Georgian reproduced it, la stated here almply and solely to show that tho charge of mnllco against him hns no foundation. This Is stated, be It understood, to shirk no rasponslblllty. But, to save our life, wo can see no harm In the little headline. Nevertheless. If It Is offensive to Mr. Graves, wo cheerfully express our regret that It appeared In these columns. Wo will etato further that tho gentleman who wroto tho headline .has tho highest personal regard for Mr. Graves, and he had no thought of wounding him. It was Intended as a piece of good-natured raillery, and nothing more.” The Tolegraph la mistaken in the supposition that tbp editor of The Georgian waa either wounded or of fended by Its paragraph. Anger Is a luxury which no really great newspapor should Indulge. The newspaper Is impersonal. It la a public voice and not a private or gan. When Its Integrity Is assailed it should not respond In temper, but In tranquil refutation, and when It la nec essary to Impugn the reliability of the assailant that task should bo performed In evenness of spirit and In am plitude of fact The single paragraph and headline which appeared In The Telegraph was only an incidental and compara tively trivial expression of a policy which has been fre quently evident In that paper to reflect upon tho political attitude of the editor of The Georgian. We have been charged with fomenting, strife, with consorting with tho enemies of tbe party, and with being the author of two- thirds of tbe reforms now being agitated In the ranks of the Democracy. For this last allegation, which is partly true, we are under obligations which make It lm- possible for us to grow heated over tho Injustice of the earlier - charges. And so not In temper, but In amiable reprisal, we found It necessary to revive a little record of journalistic expression which we do not Intend to use maliciously, but shall only reserve to hold In check any disposition on the part of The Telegraph to grow excessively gay during -the progress of the national campaign. The .Telegraph 1* a great critic—and The Telegraph la likely to concede tho point without argument—but Tho Telegraph must learn to refrain from throwing stones while It Is either llvldg or boarding in a glass houso. 'We are not angry with The Telegraph. By no means. We entertain for Colonel Pendleton tbe same high regard and admiration we have always felt, and this no public or political controversy can destroy. But we would have the dear Colonel understand that when he seeks to cloud honest argument between us with critical personalities, that we have him, for this national campaign at least, distinctly on tho filp In the possession of an editorial whose responsibility he could not evade if he would (snd he has not tried) and that this editorial must make him modest In his arraignment of honest Democrats who do not think by rule or act by measure, but who believe In Democratic principles as old as the republic and as venerable aa the Democratic fa thers who wrote them. For the rest we speed to our esteemed contemporary the assurance of our unchanged fellowship snd regard. Shall Labor Enter Politics ? The Washington Post of June 21st has the following very Interesting presentation of fact and of opinion, which It would be^well for wise men In all parties to con sider, before the advent of the next presidential election. Says the Washington Post: Tbe failure of congress to take any action upon the antt-lnjunctlon bill and the smothering of the eight-hour bill, after s favorable report had been se cured from the committee, and other evidences of a hoetlle disposition on the part of certain ihembers of congress and political leaders, has caused a wide spread and serious discussion among labor leaden aa to the advlaablllty of labor entering politics and tak ing an active pari In political campaigns as a unit. These discussions culminated In a meeting of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor yesterday, and Representative William Ran- flolph Hearat, who. In his official capacity and through hts newspapers, has made himself a friend of labor, was Invited to attend and make hti views known. Mr. Hearat said last night: “1 spoke briefly be fore the committee, merely expressing vtewf that have already appeared In my newspapers. I be lieve that labor should go Into politics and make a demonstration of Its strength. It will not receive from either of the old parties tbe consideration It deserves until It has shown Its power at the polls. “The labor movement must disregard party ltnea more or less, and must use Its Influence to advance Us friends and expose Us enemies. To promote the principles It advocates, labor must elect m certain number of office holders who owe their first alle giance to the organised body of workers that elected them. “The labor people would probably achieve the most If they should elect a sufficient number of men to bold the balance of power .In congress, for Instance. “They would be In the position of the Irish mem bers of tbe house of commons, who do not have a majority, aod yet, holding the balance of power, suc ceed In securing the adoption of measures that serve thetr Interests best. "This Is the day of Independent thought and ac tion In politics. The words Democrat and Republl- can no longer define anything. There are corpora tion Democrats snd Jeffersonian Democrats. Tbere ara corporation Republicans snd Lincoln Republi cans. and the Jeffersonian Democrats and Lincoln Republicans ara more neerly alike than they are like the other wings of their respective parties. The battle must be fought according to principle, and not according to party names, and the same thing that 'applies to tbe laboring people applies to the people at large. . "There must be a distinct line drawn some where and In same way between thoce that stand for special privilege and those that stand for equal rights; between trust government snd popular gov ernment. Either It will com* about that on* of tbe old parties will stand for tbe trusts and tha other will stand for tha people—and tha battle wiu be fought out la that way. or else there will be a third party formed. ■ The people are determined to resume control of the government, and unless they ean rapture one Of the other parties they will start a new party. The labor movement is a phase of this general indepen dent movement, and the laboring people will serve their interests heat If they vote for their friends and the principles, and are not herded to the polls within party lines." While Mr. Hearst and President Gompers de clare tho meeting did not contemplate even remote ly any political alliances in ISOS, the other labor leaders were enthusiastic over the conference, and the observation was general that tho beginning of tho Federation’s advent jnto active politics would now he systematically made under experienced lead ership. Tbe wonder Is that the action suggested by Mr. Hearst has not been put Into effect a long time ngo. In time past the advent of labor into politics as a distinct organization haa been accompanied with some mistakes, and haa, therefore, met with aome degree of disaster at tho polls, but in this larger and more enlightened age. It cannot be denied that tbo Indifference of certain forms of capitalists which are themselves active and dominant in politics to the rights and Interests *bf la- boring classes, would seem to demand a reciprocal In terest on tho part ot tho laboring wen In public affairs and a counter organization to establish and protect the rights which are Imperiled by tho organizations about them. No man could dcprecato more thoroughly than we do any suggestion of class antagonism or of class legislation, but no fair and thinking man can read tje history of these eventful times about us without seeing a justifi cation for labor In entering upon politics In such organ ized and self-protecting system as will, at least, preserve the balanco between their Interests nnd tho interests of tho greater corporations. * Wellman’s Search for the Pole. Walter W’ellman sailed today for Tromsoe and from there will push on immediately to Spitsbergen. From the latter piacb he will sail lu bis large and well equipped balloon on one of the most perilous and yet one of the most promising expeditions in search of the North Foie ever made by any man. The fate' of Andree la still fresh In the minds of the reading public. That la, so much of his fate as has ever bccomo known. Sluco the day when he made his ascent In a mammoth balloon no word of him has over been directly received. It Is believed that he was killed by savage Esquimaux, who wfere frightened by his firing at reindeer being killed for food, but this la merely an hy pothesis. The truth of tbe matter. In tbo very nature ot things, will probably never be known. But the disaster which befell Andree and his party has not deterred the well-knoyn newspaper man from making this further attempt to reach the pole by means of a dirigible balloon. Ho has gone about his task In the most systematic manner. The science ot aerial navigation has reached a much higher degree of perfec tion than It had attained at the time Andree made his attempt, and Wellman has availed himself ot ail the new devices to Insure speed and safety. He apparently has calculated every possible contingency. The world will await with the keenest expectation the result ot his expedition. ,If he Is successful he will have accomplished a feat which has been tbe dream ot daring adventurers ever since a northwest passage to tho Indies first- dawned upon the Imagination of tho world. The northwest passage Itself has been found within the past twelve mouths, hut It was found to lio far south of the pole, and the groat desideratum which was tho outgrowth of this search for It, viz., tho attainment ot the pole itself. Is yet one of the unaccomplished labors of explorers. The bones ot thousands of men lie whiten ing on the frozen wastes of the arctlo regions, grim tes timony to their daring and resolution in a desporato un dertaking, but the advancement of science has cleared away so many mysteries and accomplished so. much that was seemingly Impossible that It is not by any means Improbable thpt Wellman may succeed. Tho civilised world will look on with anxious expec tation and thousands of good wishes follow the daring aeronaut on hla perilous Journey. CARD FROM JUDGE HINES. To the Editor of The Georgian: In the card of Captain Yancy Carter, which appeared in your pa|>er of the 26th Instant, he misstates the facts so far as I am concerned. I did hot'inake the statement attributed to me in this article, to the effect that Mr. Wat* son conferred with "nobody—none of the leaders, cer tainly not me," and that "I tried to get him to tell me what he was going to say in his speech and he refused." . It would have been impossible for me' to know that Mr. Watson conferred with "nobody—none of the lead ers;" and I could not and did not make such statement, for I make It a point not to make statements which I do not know to be truo. * Nor did I make the silly statement that I tried to get Mr. Watson to tell me what ho was going to say in hla speech and he refused. In my office, in the presence of several gentlemen, of whom Captain Carter wna one, the question came up, if I knew beforehand that Mr. Watson was going to make the statement In hla Atlanta speech, that it ttye Democrats were in earnest about tho fear of negro dom ination and wanted to put the negro out of politics, he would join them; and I replied that I did not I fur ther stated that there was no conference of the leaders of the Populist party on the subject of the disfranchise ment of the negro, so far as I knew.. Mr.' Watson’s views on this subject word well known. I was not surprised at hla statemont. Mr. Wat son's position la this, as I understand It, that he had com municated hla views to the leaders of hla party, and his views on tills subject were well known; that no dissent was expressed; that hla statement on negro disfranchise- ment in his Atlanta speech was met with uproarious and hearty applause and approval; and that the approvers and applaudera of his statement should stand by him in carrying out hla pledge on this subject. I acquit my friend. Carter, of any Intention to mis- quoto me, but he made a careless reporter. JAMES K. HINES. Atlanta, Juno 28. CARD FROM AN EX-CONFEDERATE. To the Editor of The Georgihn: Thorugh the kindness of my son, of tho Birmingham and Atlantic railroad, I am made a subscriber to your much esteemed papor. I see In a copy one day last week that three young ladles of Agnes Scott Institute are rep resented as being in Asheville, N. C„ at a Y. M. C. A. meeting, marching with a banner and singing "March ing Through Georgia.” Is this not a mistake of your correspondent? Is It possible that three Southern young ladles would sing in public n song which glorifies tho incendiary Sherman and hla bummers for destroying the property of their fathers and Insulting their mothers and grandmothers? Or perhaps they were Northern young ladles attending that Institute. But would It not be questionable taste even In them to sing this song In a Southern town? What a contrast to the dear little girl In LoulBvlIIe who refused to sing It and even put her fingers In her ears to prevent hearing It and is now an honorary member of several United Confederate Veteran camps. AN OLD CONFED. St Charles, S. C., June 23. “A CREDIT TO ALL NEWSPAPERDOM." (Brooklyn, N. Y., Standard Union) Tho Atlanta Georgian, John Temple Gravea' new pa per, seems to be a success from the start, and It has been running only a little over a month. Mr. Graves Is an advocate of high Ideals aod boldly declares for Inde pendence in politics. Tho columns of The Georgian are free from the sort of literature that has lately disgraced the pages nf Ills contemporaries and which was supposed to belong to a past era of journalism, that ot the wild and woolly West. Mr. Graves Is, or was. a candidate for the nomination by his fellow citizens to the United States senate, but there is no sign ot tho pcrsonnl abuse of any rival candidate, such as Is raging between the doted candidates, both in control of an "organ," who are seek ing the gubernatorial nomination. Mr. Graves is evidently doing his best to * 1 elevate tho tone of Georgia Journalism, nnd It was high time. His paper deserves to succeed, for It Is a credit to all nowspaperdom. It' appears to be getting its full share of the ’’sinews of war” for a newspaper, tho patronage of the business men of its town, and that means a great deal. It Is well made up, typographically and otherwise, and makes a neat appearance, barring tho big cartoons, but-that Is a common fault of tho day in newspaperdom. INTANGIBLE. Tomorrow Is a wonderful something to come; As yesterday’s a wonderful something to go; t Though coming, nnd going, they stay in one place; Though constantly standing they’re still in the race; Today ts a thing pretty constant nt hand; Ho leavcB in tho night, but to take tho samo stand; Tonight Is his lady, who In mourning ho dresses; For she has a husband half dead, she confesses; 'TIs thus all tho days and the nights hasten by; For yesterday's dead; and tomorrow’ll soon die; Today or tonight Is the time to consume; As yesterday’s gone, and tomorrow can’t come. . —a. m.

John Tempt* Graves, Atlanta, Os. My Dear Mr. Graves; Please let-me tell you how completely soul- satlsfylng The Georgian Is to one who has been plodding In a newspaper way for about eighteen years. It so fully fills my Ideals of what the June, IMS. -newspaper should be that I find myself reading, 're-reading ■ snd carefully analysing it every day It ts published. Next to my family, 1 take more Interest In the handling of news then anything-els* In this world. And so The Georgian nestles close to my heart. Your staff haa gone right to the core of the thing, and they ara ao ably supported by the mechanical departments that the result Is re markable In the newspaper history of our country. Many years I have been an enthualaatlc admirer of the Chicago newspapers. 1 have thought that the paper* of the Western city handled their news In th* most admirable manner of any newspaper* on earth. Since the beginning of The Georgian I have said repeatedly to my young men that your newspaper Is the best exponent of newspaperdom In this country. _ , . . I sincerely hop* that th* people of Georgia are ahowlng a material ap preciation of what you are doing, and I know that the man you have about you are respite: tbe greatest measure of satisfaction In the dally execution of their fin t Una*. It was in my hsari to write you these things, snd I had to get It out. The day will come, soon I hope, when I will be able to see you In person and congratulate you with more cordiality than I have been able to do here.

In regard to Judge McWhorter's let ter, recently published In reply to Hon. Hoke Smith, I have this to say.- I was passing through Athena on my way to a speaking appointment, and stopped at the Commercial hotel an hour or two, waiting for th* train. No on# in Athena, ns far as I know, knew In advance of my passing through the city at that time. I met Mr. Hugh Rowe, editor of The Athens Banner, who came to my room and read over to me Judge McWhor ter 1 * letter. After hearing the letter read, I asked Mr. Rowe to request Judge McWhorter to leave out of his letter all reference to me, ss I did not wish to become connected with any B irsonsl controversy existing between on. Hoke Smith and Judge McWhor- At this time I did not espect to ■** Judge McWhorter. However, be fore I left. Judge McWhorter came to my room. I made the some statement to Judge McWhorter, which I had road* to Mr. Rows, snd requested him to leave out of his letter all reference to m* for th* reason already stated. Judge McWhorter, upon reflection, said he believed I was right and he would do aa Pretty soon, I left for my train. I did not see Hon. Clark Howell or have any communication with him In any manner whatever. Did not know Judge McWhorter had Vrltten any such letter until It was read to me by Mr. Rowe. _ In passing through Athens, the meeting of Mr. Row* the reading of Judge McWhorter’s letter to me, and meeting Judge McWhorter was an occidental and wholly unexpected to me. I «m sure I had no desire to do Hon. Hoke Smith or nny one else any In justice and did not directly, or Indi rectly, remotely or otherwise, help any one to Sx up a letter abusing him, or referring to him In any manner. All I wish to say or to write In reference to Hon. Hoke Smith, or any one else, I wlU say myself and write over my own signature. I am running my own campaign and wlU be glad to have the help of all those who Indorse my platform. The public will not fall to see that the effort to distort the facts and lug me into a controversy existing be tween the Hon. Hoke Smith and Hon. Clark Howell, on the one part, or Hon. Hoke Smith and Judge McWhorter on tbe other part, doee me great In justice. JAR M. SMITH. Smlthonla. Ga.. June 27, 1206.
