There will he no less of reflection In Its triumph upon the patient and persistent devotion of the brilliant chemist and citizen who was its Inspiration.

But, puffed up with their own Impudence and greed, and their long Immunity from punishment gnd regulation, they defy the courts and trample upon the rights m the people— and the people themselves. An application has been made to forfeit the charter of the company, nnd the whole country would sympa thise with such a movement. Nothing short of some such radical action, It seems, will bring the Metropo! Itnn Moloch to Its senses. It would furnish a whole some lesson to coriioratlons all over the country who abuse their franchises and over-ride the rights of the people. Kvery large city has an instance In point and we ourselves would not have to go bo very far from home to And one. A Visit to Mars. We know all about It now.

This 'blood-red patron planet of war Is something like 141,000.000 miles away,but a little thing like that did not disturb the adventurous yplrlt of PresIdent'SackvIlle l.eyson. who disrobed him self of his flesh and started out on hls aerial Journey without so much ns a celestial llaedeker to guide hint. He simply projected Ills astral body Into space and within forty minutes he was there nnd back, after an exhaustive study of the ethnic and commercial condi tions on the planet, nnd was giving out hla experiences to tho papers. He tolls 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 Hint the tiny specimen did not reach to the visitor's knees. . Just how far It Is between the knee-cap nnd the kibe of Leyson'* astral shanks Is not stated. The Martians, we are told, do not wear any clothes, but are abundantly covered wllh hair. The larger specimens have no nose, but hnvo two eyes, one In each temple. The smaller specimens have a single eye, which, like the curl of the celebrated little girl, was right In tho middle of the forehead. The little fellows have . web feet and glide along on the moss as If they were skating. They live In holes In the ground, while the big fellows make habitations of the rocks and seem to be very happy.

It has been a long time since the American people were treated to a more flagrant Instaueo of the high banded Insolence of corporate power than that dis played by the Brooklyn Rapid Trnnsll Com-, i,- on Sunday and Monday, when fully a thousand pi v -re bodlljl ejected from cars running to Coney Is! ipiy because, in pursuance of a decision of the con. ...tnclod down by Justice Oaynor, they refused to pay a double fare for a single trip between the metropolis nnd the celebrated searlde resort. Not only were a thousand people thrown from the cars, at the Imminent risk of life and limit, hut one young girl was actually killed nu a direct result of this treatment. Having been ejected from a car, although she had paid the double fare, she was Imnledlately run Qown 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 wliu were resgionslhle for the death of the girl. This conduct wail 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 lias entrenched Itself may be gathered from the fact that on the second tiny of the disorders the police no longer pretended to make • son-partisan effort to preserve the peace hut openly sided and abetted the railroad employees In throwing off passengers who declined to pay a second fare. The higher officials of the road make no show of re pentance whatever. They blocked the roads with delay ed trains and kept hundreds of people from returning home until the late hours uf the night. They caused troufcle and Inconvenience of every kind, and when the facts 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 service leas satisfactory than It la at present. All this, he It understood, because the patrons of the road were acting upon a decision of the court and were refusing to pay a second fare. It has heon shown that the subway, whose passen gers as a rule travel tor a long dlstanre, makes a profit on 5 cents fans, Btnee the cost Is not more than 2 cents each, it has been shown that the uniform fare of 5 cents for surface car travel makea n good net average pioflt, end that there is no excuae for demanding a secs The Transcendent Question of Saxon Rule. There appears iiism this page today a letter of un- iiHtial fntereat addressed to Mr. William Riley Boyd by a distinguished and thoughtful physician of Norwich, Conn., upon the absorbing and vital question of tho ne gro and bis relations to thu white race In the South and In the country at large. Mr. Boyd recently wrote a letter to The Indianapolis Xuwb which has been widely commented upon through out the country, and out of that contribution lias grown this correspondence with Dr. Mann, of Connecticut. The letter of Dr. Mann Is broadly and deeply slgnlft cant and we commend ft to the careful consideration of our readers today because of the light which It sheds upon the sentiment and the sympathy of the Northern people toward this vexed question of tho negro In tho South. The comment of Dr. Mann la upon an editorial which recently appeared In The Georgian claiming that the real friend of the negro and not hls enemy, was that man who recognizing hfs limitations and the hopeless ness of Ills position under the present environment, hu manely sought to And for him another, homo and nnother country in order that he might reach hls full develop ment both ns a citizen and as a man. To this theory Dr. Mnnn gives hla full Indorsement nnd declnrcs that he goos even farther than the editor of The Georgia i 'n hla indorsement of the principle In volved. Dr. Mann states In underscored Italics that he agreea absolutely with the editor of The Georgian that the beat thing for the negro as well ns for the white man Is that the relative Inferiority of the negro man should ho recognized definitely and clearly In every relation of life. ('poll this pro|H)sltlon The Georgian haH based Its whole attitude toward the negro at the present time. Tho Georgian Is not a partisan In the present Georgia cam paign and doen not proiwse to he. The' mutter of per sonalities has little to do with our attitude or our align ment. We take no slock In the abuse of the prominent Georgians who are candidates before the people because we ure fully prepared to believe that each nnd everyone of them In character, In record, and in capacity, 1% eqaal to the resiKmslblllty of serving Georgia nnd of mnking a good and acceptable governor of the stnte. Tho things that concern thoughtful and Impartial men. ns wo are, are the great vital Issues around which this campaign Is wrapped, and among these Issues Tho Georgian hns alwn.va recognized as the one trnnscendent nnd overwhelming question the prudent and statesman like consideration of the negro and hls relations to the people of the South. It inny he said frankly that we rec ognize as valid some of the objections to the methods of disfranchisement proposed by statesmen u|ion the sldo of complete disfranchisement In this cnmpntgn. We have been Impressed by tho objections that have been urgea nnd nre fully prepared to believe that there must he a better way to handle this question and to legally disfranchise and subordinate the negro in our general civilization nnd In our political life. IVe fully believe that with the wide nnd free dis cussion of this question, the minds of thoughtful men must have been and doubtless are Impressed by tho dtf- flculty nnd the complexity of this proposition, but we arc also fully prepared to believe that If tfie weight of this responsibility should rest U|ion any one of theso can didates for the high office of governor, the educatlvo value of this discussion would move the successful ctm dldate or the successful legislator to a duo and serious consideration of those apprehensions and to the wisest, most unprejudiced and most broad-minded search for bet ter methods to perfect and to complete the dlsfrnn chlsetuent and subordination of the negro race to tho Anglo Saxon people who hnvo 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 pnss without some definite nnd clear-cut announcement made In thunder tones at the ballot box Hint this Is a white man's government, a white man's country and that the white must rule It nnd will rule it to the end of time, and that this election carries this announcement In definite and legal form that the negro Is an inferior nnd that Hie white man Is the superior, nnd that the superior must nnd will rule and domlnntc the Inferior In society nnd In polities In tills republic. In the heat and plksslon of this furious canvass men have bad little tittle to give to this question and to Its perfect solution Hint line and deliberate consideration which Ita ImiMirtanre and Its dangers demand. We must confess that we ourselves have failed to reach any defi nite and final conclusion as to the best and most effec tive method of disfranchising the negro. But we have absolute confidence In the patriotism. In tho integrity, and in Hie Intelligence of Hie Anglo Saxon element that is snuggling for supremacy In this campaign, and we ex press the further and most profound nnd far-reaching confidence that when this election Is settled, If It be settled mam the lines of this policy, that the men who win and the friends who stand behind them, lawyers, legislators, statesmen, publicists nnd patriots, will unite with one arrord to put tills decision nf thu ballot box Into effect In the wisest, safest nnd 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 Ihls general proposition here and now carries encouragement of untold weight nnd force to the negro race In the prosecution of their laudable but dangerous ambition; that It will Inevitably produce strife and friction In the Increased aggression of tho lower raee and that tho only safe thing to do, and the only wise Ihlng to do now, since the Issue Is Joined anil the question at a white heat of solution. Is to cx| ress In thunder tones at tho ballot box the ultimatum of the Caucasian race, nnd lo rely confidently upon the combined wisdom and pru dence of the men who mnke the laws for this state and for this section, to put this verdict into execution with skill snd discretion and a comprehensive regard for lib erty and for law. We stnte this proposition upon our honor with a high and sincere regard und symiaithy for the Inferior race Joined to the supreme Instinct of self-preservation which makea us consider the future Vnd the fortunes of the superior race. There le no Malice and no unklnd- nesa In us toward the aegro. The sooner hte status la settled and be la removed ae the'bone of contention from the factions of this Anglo Baxon republic, the sooner will he drift Into peace, prosperity and develop ment, and the sooner will the Anglo Baxon race react Into an attitude of justice, a lore of liberty and consti tutional law. There is wisdom enough, there Is conscience enough, and there Is Justice enough In these Southern states to deal Justly and honorably with this Inferior race when once we have written In Indisputable statutes the doc trine of white supremacy and of negro Inferiority. I^et 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 wisdom and the unbroken history of these Southern Saxons to do the right and the wisest thing for both raceB and for the great future of this great and storm-tried people. There Is no politics In this position. There Is no partisanship nnd no deceit. The editor of The Georgian has been the advocate of this policy for twenty years. Before the contentions of this personal controversy were brought forth, or time had formed a Hoke Smith, a Clark Howell, a Journal or a Constitution as Ita evangels, the editor of this paper, with a single motive and a clear conception, was sowing In the -West and in the Bast 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 1593 at the great Chau tauqua at Lexington, Ky., when we plead then In the exact language that we use today for the absolute, the evident and the Imperative neceaslty of establishing defi nitely and by statute the relative positions of these op- poslte and antagonistic races In the South. We pr«y God 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 tho spirit of patriot ism, the spirit of statesmanship and in the spirit of tear less truth. * , Growth and Progress of the New South Tudor tbl> bend will nppenr from time to tliue Informntlon lllnntrntfng the remnrknlile development of tbe South which deserves something more than pass* lug attention. The South Sells Engines to the East. Nothing: which we have yet encountered Illustrates more completely tho material growth and progress of the South than a recent article pub lished In "Advance.'* of Birmingham, showing how a home concern of that city I* manufacturing stationery engines and selling them to the East and West. It Is pointed out that thin would not be very remarkable If the engines were of some special type covered by patent*, but they are, on the contrary, Corliss engines, which have been a standard type ever since the centennial of 1876. Mr. John Sparrow, of “Advance," had an Interesting interview with W. I). Tynes, of tho Hardle-Tynes Company, which manufactures these en gines, and was told that the chief superiority of hls engines consisted in strength, weight and efficiency. Continuing he said: "No, we do not find that our comparatively long distance from the tho Northern and Eastern markets Is a drawback, nor are we conscious of uny 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 what they want, and they will, pay for it, no matter where it comes from. "Ye^g, our territory Is steadily widening. Some of our engines have gone Into South 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 of discourage ment, but there never was a time when we lost faith In ultimate results. “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 was a hard blow. We had been making a 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 Hashed appreciation—“and with some suggestions from us they gave us designs and patterns which embody the latest end most approved Ideas of engine construction as applied to those modifications of the Corliss to Which I referred when we began talking. Consequently we have a distinct advantage over our competitors who have not kept pace with the Improvements of more modern engineering construction. "And our machine shops ond foundry, as rebuilt, are the most 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 and the finished product in oqr Itfie of business* Quite frequently our plant Is Inspected by machinists and 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?" I asked. “Both Mr. Hardle and myself are Southern men, but neither of us re gards that ns a handicap,” he said humorously. “I see no reason why Southern men should not succeed as manufacturers." "The civil war proved that the men of the South were as Ingenious nnd fertile In resources as the so-called Yankees,” I suggested. "Probably you are correct," said Mr. Tynes, thoughtfully. “Now let us look over the plant.” THE NORTH WITH THE 80UTH ON THE NEGRO Mr. William Riley Boyd, Atlanta, Gn. My Denr Sir: Yours of Tuesday last cninc duly. I am much pleased with your letter and should thoroughly enjoy meeting you and discussing this subject at our leisure. We might not agree In all points, but \yould be wise enough to respect each other's opin ions. I feel about Andersonvllle very much as 1 do about the Black Hole of Calcutta—that both have been dis cussed enough. I>t us drop the sub ject nnd forget It. That does not mean that I shall forget It and the people of the South keep pushing It to the front again. Let us both forget It and have peace on that subject, There tome large questions for the world to solve still staring us in the face and neither you nor I nre too old to lend our Influence und advice to the oncoming generation toward solv ing them. The question of the per petuation of the union and its cost have gone Inti) history. It will require a wait until about the year 1950 be fore an unprejudiced, accurate history of that civil war, which shall do Jus tice to both sides, can be written. If General Lee could have written hls own memoirs, as did General Grant, the two would have been a wonderful aid to some future historian. Grant’s Is singularly correct as far as It goes ami so would General I^ee's, us was also General Gordon's. You sent me a pamphlet of selec-i lions for schools for anniversary of General Lee’s birth, which I have read with great Interest, nnd say amen to every sentiment therein expressed. But of all your correspondence and In- closures the most Ihterestlng is the editorial from The Atlanta Georgian, "Friend, Not Enemy to the Negro.” There is a question worth the pro- foundest study, sympathy and states manship of the future. In the main I agree with that editorial, and for y have advocated leaving the negro to inhabitants of the several states In which he Is found for treatment as each several states shall decide. The worst blunder ever committed by the United States within my remembrance was what is known as the "carpet bag government’’ Immediately following the If Lincoln had lived that never would have happened because wiser counsels would have prevailed. If the negro could be comparatively equally dlstiibuteil among the whole forty-five >r forty-six states the question of his real status would he much qutekar de rided. The majority the native whites of the North cannot yet be made to acknowledge that "the bast thing for tho nogro at well at tho white That editorial, as a whole, so ' conforms to my own freely expressed opinions, that there Js little room for discussion between you and I. It U very well written; very well put. I gn a little further In believing that within a thousand or two years the negro will be a thing of the past, or the customs of the earth will take on some entirely new phaso hnrdly yet dreamed of. Life Is a 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, and pot he finding fault with our neighbor for not doing hls work Just ns we fed like dic tating sometimes.

When Mneneims, In the Mhnkespenre play, opined that Antony must leave Cleopatra (ever; he will not; can not wither her i; Infinite variety.” man is that the relative inferiority of the negro man should bo rtcognized definitely and clearly in every relation in life,” or they are not ready to ac knowledge It. They are backward, like the Presbyterian church In revising Its reed to correspond with present civ ilisation. The movers and formers of public pinion here North are getting ready to Indorse that underlined sentence from the editorial In question. Cnhappily, nowadays we hear too often that men have left women by whom for merly they were fiiHrlnntod. hut It Is still true of every woman, as It was of Cleo patra. that her variety Is infinite. And the Itest part of It Is that It Is al ways so totally uiiexp4M*t«M|. No matter how long and intliiiafely yon may have known a woman, yon eaii never predict what she will do In any given set of clreiitnatuiico*. There was Mrs. Itidiert Langley, of At lanta. for example, hottert had lived with her for severs! years, and yet he did not have the remotest Idea of what was In store for him when, upon hls return to hls bonrd- log house the other evening, he negleeted to liestow the customary marital salute upon her.

If we may Judge the temper of the farmers of the South by that of those in North and South Carolina, Mr. Rich ard Cheatham, secretary of the South ern Cotton Association, Is going to prove a millstone about the neck of the organisation until hls resignation Is received and accepted—Instanter. “We are not going to* be led by con fessed gamblers," was the undertone at the South Carolina Ferment* Insti tute last week, and from Georgia a similar cry was heard. Mr. Ilarvle Jordan,Vwho acted so promptly in the case of Vice President Peters last year, is not expected to trifle with this far more serious offence of a higher and more trusted official of the associa tion. And the hypocrisy of Mr. Cheat ham makes hls primary offence 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 yhlch this “friend of the cotton growers" wink- Ingly replied: “Oh, well, that's Just to fpol the farmers, you know. And they are biting, too, to beat the band: why, Just this morning our stack of sub scriptions received Is eight Inches high!" It was Mr. Cheatham' slickness which enabled him to catch with the other cotton gamblers in the department of agriculture last year. There's nothing plainer than that the Cotton Association .must be freed from hls 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. Mr. Jordan should act. Since The Progressive Farmer seeks for Information It is our duty to say to him that under the constitution of the Cotton Growers’ Association Mr. Har- vle Jordan has abundant power to take final action at any time In the case of Mr. Cheatham, hls secretary. If he does not act, It Is because he does not choose to exercise hls constitutional authority.—Ed. Georgian. Biennial Elections, But Perennial Polities. To the Editor of The Georgian: We have biennial elections in Geor gia. That Is to 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 as readily as men can change laws —listen: We have biennial elections, but we have perennial politics. In those lucky states that have annual elections a campaign can not well last more than one year. But, since our present cam paign for governor began, this unfor tunate state hns made nearly one and r half revolutions around the sun. It actually began before Governor Ter rell was Inducted into office.

WHEN THE TA8K 18 DONE. By Private leased Wire. New York, Aug. 15.—The last time I saw Joaquin Miller, the - poet of th« Sierras," was In hls nest among the hills—"The Heights”—about ten miles out of San Francisco. He wore high- top . boots, buckskin breeches with * fringe down the sides, a brown velvet jacket and a red silk rap. This morning Joaquin Miller sat on the veranda of a Saratoga cottage in the same red silk cap, with the same flowing white beard and hair, but In a spotless, natty and modern gray nun. Hls eyes had the same kindly, shrewd twinkle as he looked me over and tried to recall meeting me. He said: “I came here for the quiet and to begin life all over again. I lost all the plates of my boeks, all my auto graphs of my beloved friends—Walter Whitman and Tennyson among the rest —that I had taken to the Bohemian Club for safe-keeping—everything of mine and the books given to me—but I will start in again and grow with the new and more magnificent 8an 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 where the rapid pace of living never slowed down. "All that |B gone now. There Is no more high tension, no mors Insane, no more Invalids and never a suicide. Mar tial law enforced the drinking of water and .people had to sleep In the open air and everybody Is well and young nnd ambitious." "Was martial law disagreeable, or did you feel It was a protection?" "It was grand. Little Funston was a wonder In hls management, und was relieved from command only when he was worn out. It was rather hard aometimes that people were not al lowed to go Into their own houses, hut the soldiers hnd no wuy of discrimi nating between owners and looters, and had to enrry out orders.” I asked him about Saratoga and what he thqught of the ever return ing convulsions about gambling. The mildly shrewd look came Into hls eyes again and he evaded a direct answer by saying: "Nothing can Impair beautiful, rest ful Saratoga. I have been coming here for forty years. It always Is the same, only that tbe 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 nnd mnke the streets rattle with carriages and make the hotels congealed and the songs of the birds are loat In the noise, and fashion gets In before all else, hut tho races belong to thtf horses. Yes, I think I will go to the races." Then Joaquin Miller took off hls red silk cap and nut on » broad-brimmed soft blnck hat and walked with me down to the corner. He will stay in Saratoga for a long rest, working as he feels Inclined. Professor Willis, of Newport, who modestly styles himself "the world's S reatest palmist and clairvoyant," told Ira.
