"This election,” sufd Chairman Griggs and Vice Chairman Bowers, "proves one thing—that Is, that the tariff Is the issue on which tlfe Demo crats have a real chance of winning. Take the men who have been leaders In the present organisation of the house. In favor of standing pat—they have all had their troubles this election. Three of them ure defeated. Everywhere there is u remarkable result, such as the defeat of Lacey, of MeCleary, of Wadsworth, the near defeat of Watson, the election of Governor Cummins In Iowa and so on. There is only one common explanation. That Is the tar iff. It Is the issue on which the Dem ocrats have a chance.

Meeting of the Primary Union of Hunriay School Teacher* will be hehl Friday afternoon at 3:3ft o’clock ut Trinity The firm of the objection* to the blocking of fltreets by the Gate City Terminal Company, in the construction of a road bed for tho Atlanta, Birm ingham and Atlantic railway, ha* been filed with council and others Innumera ble arc due to be filed soon. The wilful and high-handed blocking of street*, practically shutting up num hers of house*, making others go blocks farther than Is now nocesary from the city to their home* and vice versa. Is arousing a storm of protest. Thursday morning the street com mittee of council met and went over the proposed route of the railroad In At lanta. This was brought about tho complaint of Dr. J. F. Greene, who owns several houses in Western Heights, near tho corner of Jett and Walnut streets. Dr. Greene made an Impaslsoned speech before the committee, at a spe cial meeting Wednesday afternoon. "The only time In my life," he said, that I was ever brought before the po lice recorder was W’hen I was summon ed for leaving some rubbish in the street*. 1 had put a lantern there, but the light w*ent out before morning. I was fined 13. Blocked the 8treets. "Yet here this railroad has blocked our street—closed It up. A temporary bridge, 35 feet high, has been erecteck across the street. They don't make any pretense at putting a light there. They haven’t even applied for a building per mit. "In the middle of the street, from one side to the other, they have plied up big, heavy logs. Jett street Is ruined !? fh*» rf*Hroe«l Is flowed to build a permanent bridge where it now has a temporary one, it will be ruined for all the time." "I went to Mr. Arkwright and asked him for some relief. He told me that a billy goat couldn't cross tho street anyhow. That may be *o, gentlemen, but It's the best we’ve got, and xve ought to be allowed to keep it.” Inspection Trip. With the committee that left the ter minal station at 10 o'cdock Thursday morning for an inspection of the pro posed route of the roud were City En gineer Wilson, Engineer McDonuld, of the Gate City Terminal Company, Pres ton Arkwright, president of the Ter minal Company, Secretary Cullllane, of the Terminal Company, Dr. Greene, other complainants ami a representa- ! tlve of The Georgian. Conditions were found Just as Dr. Greene had described them. On Jett street, where Walnut crosses, the tem porary trestle stretched across, making passage there at night extremely dan gerous. It was seen at a glance, If a permanent bridge was erected there there could be no possible egress or In gress, except by going a block to the rear and a block to the side of the homes and then backing up. A penftm living on Jett street would get of a Kennedy street car Just a halt block of his home then would be forced to walk a block in the rear of his home and then come back a Ijalf block. Lying In the utreet, logs were piled far, wide and high upon one another. The company bought the llrst two houses near the trestle, to uvold dam age *uits, hut those who live In the rear t ,f these houses have to go around or climb over. There are fully 15ft homes back of this trestle which would deprec’ate In value and usefulneHH if the present plans of the Gate City Terminal Com pany are carried out. Damage to Homo*. Just before reaching the corner of Jett avenue a rather Interesting Inci dent transpired. High upon a ridge, two little streets, Bush and Lambert, cross. "Sow, these streets," safd^he Termi nal Company engineer, "are hardly streets at all. 1 have planned that they be closed. I cun't see how any objection could be raised.” Councilman Glass, who had found several things which the company had done, to complain about, came near taking the engineer off his feet. You see right back yonder," he said, "those are my houses. You close up these streets, and how in the name of goodness are the people living there go. Ing to come to town and get back?” The party -moved on. When the company gets through •»*i rir^et. even I** b—* - , ' - quaIntnnccK would hardly recognize it. Mungum in going to be moved bodily —that Is, a large part of It. The com pany Is going to take charge of this street at Magnolia, divert It, and run It to West Hunter street, to connect with Elliott. What is now Mangutn will then ht* two streets. One part will re main Mungum. Whether the company or the city will name the part that f.i being taken care of by the road re mains to be seen. Even Mangum has gotten off mighty light beside what Rhodes is suffering. Rhodes has been completely closed up midway of Haynes apd Mungum. It is also planned to close up West' Hunter midway of Mangum and the Terminal station. Then those living near the Terminal station on tho west side will be bottled up on all sides. "Why," said President Arkwright, to a representative of The Georgian, "a rail rout I can’t be built into a city like Atlanta without some Inconvenience to the people—In fact, without consider able. One can’t expect It. "This Js an Immense undertaking. We are doing the best wo can. We have already bought more than 300 acres of land In the city. We are go ing to build three miles to meet the A., B. & A., from Howell Htutlon to Pe ters street. "Two miles of this will be In the,air.* You see, this will be un elevated rail way for Atlanta."
