Dr. McCandless and Pure Food.
Whether the pure food bill passes or dies of neglect
upon this Anal dnv of legislative session. The Georgian
Is moved to an expression of admiration for the earn
estness, consecration and consistent energy with which
It has been advocated by Dr. J. M. McCandless, of this
city.
* As a private cltlxen. with no Interest at atake, with
no object In view, and with no purpose but to serve
his day and generation, according to his lights. Or. Mc
Candless has fought for (his bill In season and out of sea-
son. He has garnered Information, he has marshalled
facts, he has presented briefs and with his brain and
his hand and his energies he has given hts time nnd his
talents to a strong and legitimate effort to convince the
reason and the Interest of the legislature and of the
people of the necessity for this wholesome bill.
If It should triumph, why, of course, Its passage will
reflect directly uiion the eloquence of the advocates
upon the floor. There will he no less of reflection In
Its triumph u|mn the pit lent and persistent devotion of
•he brilliant chemist and cltlsen who was Its Inspiration.
And If It falls and goes down to wait Its time before an
other body of law-makers In the state, Dr. McCandlesa
can feel that he nt least has done his duty with a sin
gle mind and has spared no atom of his manifold equip
ment to carry bis convictions to a successful end.
i ond faro from the travelers to Coney Island,
up with their own Impudence-and greed, and their long
Immunity from punishment and regulation, they defy
the courts and trample upon the rights of the people—
and the people themselves.
An application has been made to forfeit the charter
of the company, and the whole Country would sympa
thise with such a movement. Nothing short of some
such radical action, It seems, will bring the Metropol
itan Moloch to Its senses. It would furnish s whole
some lesson to corporations all over the country' who
abase their franchises and over-ride the rights of the
l>eople.
Every lirge city has an Instance In point and we
ourselves would not have to go so very far from home
to And-one. , .
The Transcendent Question of Saxon
• Rule.
A Visit to Mars.
We know all about It now.
The president of the Society for Psychical Re
search, an organisation Instituted for the purpose of see
ing ghosts and explaining the whyness of the thus, has
just taken a little trip to Mara. This blood-red patron
planet of war la something like 141,000.000 miles away,but
a little thing like that did not disturb the adventurous
spirit of President Sackvllle I-eyson. who disrobed him
self of his flesh and started out on his aerial journey
without so much as a celestial Baedeker to guide him.
He simply projected his astral body Into space and
within forty minutes he was there and back, after an
exhaustive study of tho ethnic nnd commercial condi
tions on the planet, and was giving out his experiences
to the papers.
Ho tells us that there are two races of men up
there, one so tall that he did not reach to their knees,
while the other race Is so small that the tiny specimen
did not reach to the visitor's knees.
Just how far It Is between the knee-cap and the kibe
of Leysoti's astral shanks Is not stated.
Tho Martians, we are told, do not wear any clothes,
but are abundantly covered with hair. The larger
specimens have no nose, but have two eyes, one In each
temple. The smaller specimens have a single * 1 eye.
which, like tho curl of the celebrated little girl, was right
In the middle of the forehead. The little fellows have
web feet and glide along on the moss as If they were
skating. They live In boles In the ground, while the
big fellows make habitations of the rocks and seem to
be very happy.
It Is n matter of regret that he did not bring us
some dcflnlte data about the cminls which are, by com
mon consent, the most remarkable features of Mars. We
would like to know If they are owned and controlled by
the state, or by private capital, whether Chinese labor
was successfully employed In their construction, how
sanitation Is preserved and a few other facts which
might have been of value to our own canal commission.
But iierhaps we should be satlsfled. The president
of the Society for Psychical Research has given Us a
great deal of Information.
Among other things, this thing of eating Ice cream
and shrimp after 18 o'clock at night Is* bound to get In
Its work.
The B. R. T. Aggressions.
ft has been a long time since the American people
were treated to a more flagrant instance of the high
handed Insolence of corporate power thnn that dis
played by (he Brooklyn Rapid Transit Compi-iy on
Supday and Monday, when fully a thousand p.s - wre
bodily ejected from cabs running to Coney Ist-i q.Ijr
because. In pursuance of a decision of the con., n.iiidod
down by Justice Gsynor, they refused to pay it double
(are for a single trip between the metropolis and the
celebrated seaside resort.
Not only were a thousand people thrown from the
cars, at the Imminent risk of life and limb, but oue
young girl waa actually killed as a direct result of this
treatment. Having been ejected from n car, although
the had paid the double fare, she was Immediately run
down and killed by a passing trolley on a bridge.
* No effort whatever was made by the company to
Identify and hand over to Justice the trainmen who
were responsible for the death of the girt. This conduct
was of a piece with the Impudence which the corpora
tion has shown throughout the entire light, and some
thing of the strength with which It has entrenched Itaelf
may be gathered from the fact that on the second day
at the disorders the police no longer pretended to make
• non-partisan effort to preserve the peace but opeuly
aided and abetted the railroad employees In throwing off
passengers who declined to pay a second fare.
The higher ofllclals of Ibe road make no show of re
pentance whatever. They blocked the roads with delay
ed trains and kopt hundreds of people from returning
home until the late hours of the night. They caused
trouble and Inconvenience of every kind, and when the
(acta were presented to them they went further than
Boss Tweed';, cynical query, "What are you going to do
about It?' and even intimated that they would make the
■ervfce leea satisfactory than it Is at present.
All this, be It understood, because the patrons of
the road were acting upon e decision of the court and
were refusing to pay a second fare.
It baa been shown that the subway, whose passen
ger* a* • rule travel for a long distance, makes a profit
on t cents fares, since the coat ta not more than 8 cents
each. It has been shown that the uniform fare of 5
cents for surface car travel makes a good net average
p.oflt, and that tbera la no excuse (or demanding a see.
There appears upon (hit page today a letter of un
usual Interest addressed to Mr. William Riley Boyd by
a distinguished and thoughtful physician of Norwich,
Conn., upon the absorbing ond vital question of the ne
gro and his relations to the white race In Die South
and In the country at large.
Mr. Boyd recently wrote a letter to The Indianapolis
News which has been widely commented upon through
out the country, and out of that contribution has grown
this correspondence with Dr. Mann, of Connecticut.
The letter of Dr. Mann Is broadly and deeply signifi
cant and we commend It to the careful consideration of
our readera today because of the light which It sheds
upon the aentlment and the sympathy of the Northern
people toward this vexed question of the negro In tho
Smith.
The comment of Dr. Mann Is upon an editorial which
recently appeared In The Georgian claiming that tho
real friend of tho negro and not his enemy, was that
ma.i who recognising his limitations and the hopeless
ness of his position under the-present environment, hu
manely sought to find for him another home and another
country In order that he mjght reach his full develop
ment both as a cltlsen and as a man.
To this theory Dr. Mann gives his full indorsement
and declares that he goes even farther than the editor
of The Georgian 'n his Indorsement of the principle In
volved. Dr. Mann states In underscored Italics that ho
agrees absolutely with the editor of The Georgian that
the beat thing for the negro as well ns for the white
man la that the relative Inferiority of the negro man
should be recognized definitely and clearly In every
relation of life.
Upon this - proposition The Georgian has based Its
whole attitude toward the negro at the preaent time. Tho
Georgian is uot a partisan In the present Georgia cam
paign nnd doeB not propose to he. The matter of per
sonalities has little to do with our attitude or our align
ment. We lake no stock In the abuse of the prominent
Georgians who are candidates before the people because
we are fully prepared to believe that each nnd everyone
of them In character, In record, and In capacity, Is equal
to the responsibility of serving Georgia and of making
n good nnd acceptable governor of. the state.
The things that concern thoughtful and Impartial
men, as we nre, are the great vltul issues'around which
this campaign la wrapped, and among those Issues The
Georgian has nlwnys recognised as the one- transcendent
and overwhelming question the prudent and atatesman-
likn consideration of tho negro and his relations to the
people of the South. It may be snld frankly that we rec
ognise as valid some of the objections to the methods of
disfranchisement proposed by statesmen upon the side
of complete disfranchisement In this campaign. We
have been Impreased by the objections that have been
urged and'are fully prepared to believe that there must
be a better way to handle this question and to legally
disfranchise nnd subordinate the negro In our general
civilisation and In our political life.
We fully believe that with the wide and free dis
cussion of this question, tho minds of thoughtful men
must havo been and doubtless are Impreased by the dif
ficulty and the rompleslty of this proposition, but we aro
also fully prepared to believe that If the weight of thta
responsibility should rest upon any one of these can
didates for the high office of governor, the educative
value of this discussion would move the successful can
didate or the atKcesafjil legislator to a due and serious
consideration of these apprehensions and to the wisest
most unprejudiced and most broad-minded search for bet
ter methods to perfect and to complete the disfran
chisement nnd subordination of the negro race to tho
Anglo Baxon people who havo made and ruled this con
tinent
Now with this much said we desire to say that we
deem It a matter of supreme and overshadowing Impor
tance that this election should not pass without some
definite and clear-cut announcement made In thunder
tones at the ballot box that this Is a white man’s
government, n white mnn's country and that the white
race must rule It and will rule It to the end of time, and
that this election curries this announcement In dcflnlte
and legal form thnt the negro Is an Inferior and that
the white man Is the superior, and that the superior must
and will rule and dominate tho Inferior In society and
In politics In this republic.
In.the heat and passion of this furious canvass men
have had little time to give to this question and to Its
perfect solution that tine and deliberate consideration
which Its Importance and Its dangers demand. We must
confess that we ourselves hnve failed to reach any defi
nite and final conclusion ns to the best and most effec
tive method of disfranchising the negro. .But we have
absolute confidence In tho patriotism. In the Integrity
and In the Intelligence of the Anglo 8axon clement thnt
Is struggling for supremacy In this campaign, nnd we ex-
presa the further and most profound nnd fsr-rer.chlng
confidence that when this election Is settled, If It be
settled upon the lines of this policy, thut the men who
win ond the friends who stand behind them, lawyers,
legislators, statesmen, publicists and patriots, will unite
with one accord to put this decision of the ballot box
Into effect In the wisest, safoat and most conservative
way which will stand the tests of the courts and the
trials of the coming years.
Meanwhile, let us remember that a defeat of this
general proposition here and now carries encouragement
of untold weight slid force to the negro race In the
prosecution of their Inudable but dangerous ambition;
that It will Inevitably prodneo strife and friction In the
Increased aggression of the lower race and that the
only safe thing to do. and the only wise thing to do
now, since the Issue la Joined and (he question at a
white heat of solution. Is to ex| rest In thunder tones at
the ballot box the ultimatum at the Caucasian race, and
to rely confidently upon the combined wisdom tnd pru
dence of the men who make the laws for this stale and
for this aectlon. to put this verdict Into execution with
skill and discretion and a comprehensive regard tor lib
erty and for law.
Wc slate this proposition u|wu our honor with a
high aud sincere regard and sympathy far the Inferior
raco Joined to the supreme InBtlnct <
which makeR us consider the future
of the superior race. There Is no malice and no unkind-
ness In us toward the negro. The sooner bis status Is
settled and be la removed as the bone of contention
from the factions of this Anglo Saxon republic, the
sooner will he drift Into peace, prosperity and develop
ment, and the sooner will the Anglo Baxon race react
Into an attltpde of Justice, a love of liberty and consti
tutional law.'
There is wisdom snongh, there Is conscience enough,
and there Is justice enough inf these Southern states to
deal Justly and honorably with this Inferior race when
once we have written In Indisputable statutes the doc
trine of while supremacy and of negro Inferiority.
Let us announce to the world and to our own people
by our coming ballots what we Intend to do, and then
let us rely upon an unfailing wladom and the unbroken
history of these Southern Saxons to do the right and the
wisest thing for both races and for the great future of
this great and storm-tried people. '
There Is no pollflcs In this position. Then Is no
partisanship and no deceit. The editor of Tho Georgian
years.
lf-preservatltMi i has been tho advocate of this policy for t
the fortunes | Before the contentions.of this personal controversy were
brought forth, or time had formed a Itoke Smith, a Clark
Howell, a Journal or a Constitution as Its evafigels. the
editor of this paper, with a single motive and a clear
conception, was sowing In the West and In the East and
In the militant North the seeds of that great doctrine
of Saxon rule whose fruits are evident In the liberal and
progressive letter of Dr. Mann, of Connecticut.
We register no change, we record no new Idea. We
write no change of front, but we simply stand now upon
the position which we assumed In 1893 at the great Chau
tauqua at Islington, Ky.. when we plead then In the
exact language that we use today for the absolute, the
evident and the Imperative necessity of establishing defi
nitely and by statute the relative positions of these op
posite and antagonistic races In the South.
. We pray Ood that the people of Georgia, unbllnded
by faction and unvexed by prejudice, keeping their eyes
firmly fixed upon the great future of our people and our
children, will settle this question In the spirit of patriot
ism. the spirit of statesmanship and In the aplrit of fear-
leas troth.

Growth and Progress of the New South
Rader this head'will appear from time to tils* Information Ulnstrstlm the
remarkable development of Us South which daterres somethin* mors than pass
ing attention.
The South Sells Engines to the East.
Nothing which we. have yet encountered IJluzt rates'more completely
the material growth and progress of the South than a recent article pub-
IIshed In "Advance," of Birmingham, ehowlng how a home concern of that
cltyfjs manufacturing stationery englnee and belling them to the East and
West. It Is pointed out that this would not be very remarkable If the
engines were of some special type covered by patents, but they are, on the
contrary, Corl|en engines, which have been a standard type ever since the
centennial of 1874.
Mr. John Sparrow, of "Advance/* had an Interesting Interview with
W. D. Tynes, of the Hardle-Tynee Company, which manufactures these en
gines, and was told that the chief superiority of hts engines consisted in
strength- weight and efficiency. Continuing he eald:
"No, we do not find that our comparatively long distance from the
the Northern and Eastern markets Is,a drawback, nor are we conscious of
shy prejudice against us on account of .our Southern location. Eastern
and Western people are keenly practical, and they have their share of the
American spirit of fair play. They know wflat they want, and they will
pay for It, no matter where It comes from.
“Yes, our territory In steadily widening. Some of our engines have
gone Into Bouth American countries, and we have established a connec
tion In Japan, which promises well."
"The road has not always been smooth?" I said.
"Oh, no," replied Mr. Tynes, "we have had our*periods bf discourage
ment. but there never was a time when we lost faith In ultimate result*.
"The fire was a good thing for us. I might say It was the turning
point. Several years ago we were burned out, you know—total loss, plant,
patterns, everything. It wee a hard blow. We had been making s good
engine, as we thought, and were booked away ahead. There was nothing
to do but to start over. So we determined to get the best talent In .the
engineering profession to be had.”
(Ah, I thought, this Is the key to the business—the genius which
snatches victory from defeat and turns disaster Into success.)
"We employed experts of high repute." continued Mr. Tynes, smiling—
my eye must have dashed appreciation—"and with some suggestions from
us they gave us designs and patterns wfilch embody the latest and most
approved Ideas of engine construction as applied to those modlflcstlone,of
the Corliss to which I referred when we began talking. Consequently we
have s distinct advantage over our competitors who have not kept pace
with the Improvements of more modern engineering construction.
"And our machine shops anil foundry, as rebuilt, are the mest perfectly
adapted to their requirements of any In this country. There are plants
which may contain more brick and mortar, but none makes a better show
ing architecturally, or Is better equipped for the handling of raw materials
nnd the finished product In,our line of business. ' quite frequently our plant'
Is Inspected by. machinists nnd founders In other .portions of the country
who wish to duplicate It In whole or In part. We let them copy the .plans
If they ask for that privilege. It's all for the good of the trade."
'•Are you a Southern man?' t asked.
"Both Mr. Hsrdle and myself are Southern men, but neither of ua re
gards that as a handicap," he said humorously. "I see no reaeon why
Southern men should not succeed as manufacturers."
“The civil war proved that the men of the South were as Ingenious
and fertile.In resources as the so-called Yankees,” I suggested. .
"Probably you are correct," eald Mr. Tynes. thoughtfully. "Now let us
look over the plant."
MR. JORDAN HA8 FULL
POWER TO ACT.
THE NORTH WITH THE
80UTH ON THE NEGRO
Mr. William Riley Boyd, Atlanta. Ga.
My Dear Sir; Yours of Tuesday
last rnine duly. I am much pleased
with your letter and should thoroughly
enjoy meeting you and discussing thl*
subject at our leisure. We might not
agree In ell points, but would be wise
enough to respect each other's opin
ions. I feel about Anderaonvllle very
much as 1 do about the Black Hole of
Calcutta—that both havo been dis
cussed enough. Let us drop the sub
ject and forget It. That does not mean
that 1 shall forget It and the people
of the South keep pushing It to the
front again. Let us both forget It and
have pence on that subject.
There are some large question! for
the world to solve still staring us In
the face nnd neither you nor I are too
old to lend our Influence and advice to
the oncoming generation toward solv
ing them. The question of the per
petuation of the union nnd Its cost
have gone Into history. It will require
a welt until about the year 195» be
fore an unprejudiced, accurate history
of that cltll war, which shall do Jus
tlce to both sldds. can be written. I
General I-ee could have written his own
memoirs, as did General Grant, the
two,would have been a wonderful old
to "tome future historian. Grant’s Is
singularly correct as far as It goes and
so would General Lee's, as was uleo
General Gordon's.
You sent me a pamphlet of selec
tions for schools for anniversary of
General Lee's birth, which I hnve read
with great Interest, and say amen to
every sentiment therein expressed.
But of all your correspondence end In
closures the most Interesting Is the
editorial from The Atlanta Georgian,
"Prlend, Not Enemy to the Negro."
There Is n question worth the pro-
foundest study, sympathy and states
manship of the future, in the main I
agree with that editorial, and for year*
have advocated leaving the negro to
Inhabitants of the several states In
which he Is found for treatment os
each several states shall decide. The
orst blunder ever committed by the
United States within my remembrance
wns what Is known as the "carpet bag
government" Immediately following the
war. If Lincoln had lived thnt never
would have happened because wiser
counsels would have prevailed. If the
negro could tie comparatively equally
distributed among the whole forty-live
or forty-six states the question of hts
rest status would be much quicker de
cided. The majority of the native
whites of the North cannot yet be
mnde to acknowledge that "the best
thing far the negro as well as the white
man it that the relative inferiority of
the negro man should be recognized
definitely and clearly in every relation
s life,” or they are not ready to nc-
nowledge It. They are backward, like
the Presbyterian church In renting Its
creed to correspond with present civ
ilisation.
The movers and formers of public
opinion here North are getting ready to
Indorse that underlined sentence from
the editorial In question.
That editorial, as a whole, so well
conforms to my own freely expressed
opinions, that there Is little room for
discussion between you and I. It Is
very well written: very well put.
I go a little further In believing that
within n thousand or two years tho
negro will be a thing of the past, or
the customs of the earth will take on
some entirely new phase hardly yet
dreamed of. Life Is s very funny prop
osition or a very serious one, as one
happens or chooses to look out upon It.
I believe the Great Spirit that gov
erns the universe Is doing the best
possible with the material He has In
hand, and that finally perfection will
result. It Is up to us to help Him In
every possible manner to the extent of
our ability and knowledge, nnd not be
finding fault with our neighbor for not
doing hts work just as we feel like dic
tating sometimes. With best wishes.
Yours,
T. H. MANN.

(The Progressive Parmer, Raleigh,
N. C.)
If we may Judge the temper of the
farmers of the South by that of those
In North and Bouth Carolina, Mr. Rich
ard Cheatham, secretary of the South
em Cotton Association, Is going to
prove a millstone about the neck of
the organization until his resignation
Is received and accepted—Inetanter.
“We are not going to be led by con
fessed gamblers," was the undertone
at the South Carolina Farmers' Inst!
tute last week, and from Georgia t
similar cry was heard. Mr. Harvle
Jordan, who acted so promptly In the
case of Vice President Peters Isst
year. Is not expected to trifle with this
far more serloua offence of a higher
and more trusted official of the associa
tion. And the hypocrisy of Mr. Cheat
ham makes hts primary offenct even
more Insupportable. The chief owner
of The Cotton Journal, that paper has
been carrying on a campaign against
cotton gambling and bucket shops,
whereupon a cotton gambler Is quoted
as saying to Cheatham; "Why do you
let your paper do this? Don't you
know It Is hurting us?" to which this
"friend of the cottoQ growers" wlnk-
Ingly replied: “Oh, well, that's Just to
fool the farmers, you know. And they
are biting, too, to beat the bsnd: why,
just this morning our stack of sub
scriptions received la eight Inches
high!" It was Mr. Cheatham's own
sllckness which enabled him to catch
up with the other cotfon gamblers In
the department of agriculture last
year. There's nothing plainer than that
the Cotton Association must be freed
from hit Influence If It Is to continue
to command that confidence of South
ern cotton growers to which Its pre
vious good Work would entitle It. Air,
Jordan should act
Since The Progressive Farmer seeks
for Information tt Is our duty to say to
him that under the constitution of'the
Cotton Growers’ Association Mr. Har
ris Jordan has abundant power to take
Anal action at any time In the case of
Mr. Cheatham, his secretary. If he
does not act. It Is because he does not
choose to exercise his constitutional
authority.—Ed. Georgian.
Biennial Elections,' But Perennial
Politics.
To the Editor of The Georgthn:
We have biennial elections In Geor
gia. That Is ti> say, the'governor holds
office for two years. Reformers favor
biennial elections—less politics, you
know. .
But listen, ye ardent reformers who
would reform man from the outside,
and who think that laws can change
men aaireadlly as men can change laws
—listen:
We have biennia! elections, but we
have perennial politics. In those lucky
states that have annual elections a
campaign can not well last more that!
one year. But. since our present cam
paign for governor began, this unfor
tunate state has made nearly one and
a half revolutions around the sun. It
aetually began before Governor Ter
rell waa Inducted Into office.
It seems to me that the chief prob
lem In >hts state Is not how to take
the black man out of politics, b(it how
to take the politics out of the white
man.

By Privet* tossed Wire.
New York, Au*. 15.—The last lime
I saw Joaquin Miller, the “poet of the
Sierras," was In his nest among the
hills—"The Heights"—about ten miles
out of San Francisco. He wore high-
top boots, burksklii breeches with a
fringe down the sides, a brown velvet
Jacket and a red silk cap.
This morning Joaquin Miller eat on
the veranda of a Saratoga cottage la
the same red silk cap, with the same
flowing white beard and hair, but In a
spotless, natty and modern gray suil
Ills eyes had the same kindly, shrewd
twinkle as he looked me over and
tried to recall meeting me. He said;
"1 came- here for the quiet and to
begin life all over again. I lost all
the plates of my books, all my auto-
graphs of my beloved friend*—Walter
Whitman and Tennyson among the rest
—that I had taken to the Bohemian
Club for safe-keeping—everythin* of
mine and Ihe books given to me—but
I will start In again and grow with the
new and more magnificent San Fran
cisco. You know, we were a place
where the Insane and sick used to
come—where people came when they
wanted to commit suicide, and wh»r»
the rapid pace of living never slowed
down.
"All that Is gone now. There Is no
more high tension, no more Insane, no
more Invalids and nsver u suicide. Mar

"Was martial law disagreeable, or
did you feel It was a protection?"
"It was grand. Little Funston was
a wonder In his management, nnd tvas
relieved from command only when he
was worn out.' It waa rather hard
sometimes - that people were not al
lowed to go Into their own houses, hut
the soldiers had no way of discrimi
nating between owners and looters,
and had to carry out orders.”
t naked him about Saratoga nnd
what he thought of, the ever return
ing convulsions about gambling. The
mildly shrewd look came Into his eyes
again and he evaded * direct answer
by saying:
"Nothing can Impels beautiful, rest
ful Saratoga. I have been coming here
for forty years. It always Is the same,
only , that the trees have grown larger
and the town more like a glorious
park.
"Races—the race—oh, yes, of course,
the races. Well, why not? They dis
turb the quiet some and make the
streets rattle with carriages and make
the hotels congested and the songs of
the birds are lost In the noise, nnd
fashion gets In before all else, but the
races belong to the horses. Yes. I
think 1 will go to the races."
Then Joaquin Miller took off his red
silk cap and put on a broad-brimmed
soft black hat and walked with me
down to Ihe corner. He will stay In
Saratoga for a long rest, working a*
