Today's Constitution has a labored edi torial on tin* "Gro a ill of Our Railroads, In the course of which it attempts to show that the railroads of Georg.a are more heavily taxed tha nany otoher class of property. it even asserts that “no property la re turned for its full value, but the rail road:* are assessed at nearer t-eir full value tiian almost any other form.” It is difficult to believe that even a rail rod organ, su i as the Constitution is krto.n to b*-- though not owned outright and opt rati 1 by the railroads, as is one of its conleinporarie in thl3 state —could se riously a rt t *,,* t the railroails of Geor gia are too heavily taxed. And yet the Constitution wades through a labyrinth of figures to prove its contention, with the result that it furnishes absolute proof to the contrary. The Constitution shows that all rail road property in Georgia Is assessed this year at $42,288,457. It is sufficient to dis prove the Constitutions's contention, to state that the Central of Georgia Railroad alone is bonded for more than the assessed valuation of all of the railroads in the state. It Is evident, right here, that other rail roads are bonded far in excess of their real valuj which is true —or else they are a , . s. .1 for less than half their value —'Which is also true. The Constitution quotes figures from the comptroller general’s oftlce relative to railroad taxation. The News happens, also, to be in possession of figures from the comptroller's office, but they carry a far different meaning from what the Constitu tion would make believe. The Central of Georgia, for instance, pays taxes on $5,131,825 of property, and Is bonded for $50,000,000, or ten times Its assi- si d value. Does there appear to be any over-taxation in this instance? Th< Southern Railway pays taxes on $5.1 :t1,X25, and its property in Georgia carries an estimated bonded indebtedness of ovi r $10,000,000, or nearly eight times ■the assess -d value. Is there any evidence of over-taxation in the Southern’s case? The Georgia Southern and Florida is assisted for taxation at $1,555,350. The s.ntne property, which its owners tell the slate is worth only a million and a half dollars, is bondi d for four million dollars, with three million dollars of stock addi tional issued on the property. 'And this same property earns a 5 per cent dividend on a valuation of five and a half million dollars, or about 17 per rent in its assess ..v 1 •--- rwmi-iiln Southern and Florida appear to be overtaxed? But let’s Investigate the Georgia South ern’s case a little further. The comp troller’s books show that In 1894 the as m ssi d value of the road was $1,434,315. At that time the road was newly con structed: it ran through ipiue barrens from Macon to its Florida terminus; its earning pow r was nothing as compared ’with the present, and it mt»y be safely es timated that it: enhanced value is almost double what it was in 1804. And yet it is assessed today for only $58,035 more than In 1801. The Constitution contends, however, that “with the exception of cotton faeto rns, p i onsidcrablc class of property In the state has advanced in valuation with anything like the rapidity shown by the railroads in the last eighteen years.” Ikies the Georgia Southern prove it? Do the facts and figures, as taken from the comptroller general’s office, prove it as regards all the railroads of the state? It is almost amazing to think that any railroad organ could be bold enough to make a plea of overtaxation for the rail road-* It A* more to be believed that the railroads and th, o organs would prefer not to call public at tent on to the matter. Certain it is discussion will but lead to the inevitable conclusion that the rail roads of the state do not pay taxes on any thing like their real value. Or else 'they are bonded for eight or ten times as much as they should be, and are earning divi dends far in excess of what they are en titled to —as based upon valuation. Rut since the Constitution has seen fit to bring the matter to the surface, let. it proceed to defend its railroads against the grinding tax laws of Georgia. Let it, if it ■will, make it an issue in rhe gubernatorial race, in which, as usual, the Constitution and it*; candidate will atompt to play a conspicuous part. Will Mr. Candler, who is in a position to know the facts, endorse the Constitution’s utterances in behalf of the railroads? Tt is cuir humble opinion that the Con stitution. itself, will have cause to re gret that it ever stirred the question. Wo are even willing to predict that it will try to drop it, now that it is confronted with facts and figures that conclusively disprove its absurd contention. All the railroad organs in Georgia ean r.or make any sane man believe that the railroads are overtaxed, when i'heir own books show that they earn fair dividends on from eight to ten times their assessed valuation, and outrageous dividends on a fair valuation. We are surprised that no parapragher has yet thought to ask. what’s the matter with Hanna? Hanna Is Still Senator. The statement has been made that Hanna is no longer a member of the United States senate —that his appointive term expired on the day rhe General As sembly met. This is an error, declares the Telodo Blade. His appointment holds until his successor is elected by the legis -1 tr«. In ease the're should be a dead -1 • a. the precedent established by the l '">>'• ’ bs senate in former eases is th.. the sijt will be vacant after the sine die adjournment of the General Assembly. Prof. I. W. Andrews, of Marietta College, in his ’ Manual of the Constitution.” makes this definite statement: “When a vacancy is temporarily filled by executive appointment, the senator thus appointed 1 olds his t fi.oe till the close of the next succeeding term of h!s state legislature.” lie quotes Towle as authority for this dictum. Mr. Hanna is still United States senator, and will hold that position, under his appointment by Governor Bushnell, until an election by this legislature, or until it adjourns sine die without filling the place. In the latter case the place will remain vacant until the next General Assembly fills it. The governor has not the (lower to appoint where the legisla ture 'ails to elect. The United States senate has so decided in two or three oases—the most recent one being that of Oregon. Bad luck for the man she has married isn’t as crushing to a woman as good luck for the man she refused, declares the At chison Globe. Election of 1900. Mr. Henry Watterson, wrking on “The ! Political Outlook” In the Forum maga zine, suggests the possibility, even the i probability, of "a quadrilateral contest j ! for the Presidency, with candidates cor- ! I responding to Low and Tracy, George and i j Van Wyck.” I So far as the Democracy is concerned, the reasons loading him to such a fore- j [ cask are, in brief, his assumption that the ! | Bryanites will holt If they are not able to | control the National Democratic Convtn -1 tion, and that the “more conservative” ; Democrats, “led fey Tammany,” will holt | if they are outvoted by the Bryanites. ! Neither side, concludes Mr. Watterson, j can afford to be beaten and submit to the I I domination of the other in the party or j ganization. The New \ork Sun, which Is opposed to j everything Tbemocratic, takes issue with I Mr. \\ atterson and gives sensible reasons | for the prophecy that the issue in 1900 | will be, more than ever, between straight out Republicanism and straightout De mocracy, as party principles are now de fined. The Sun says: "No indication of any such irreconcila ble discord as Mr. Watterson predicts, however, can be discerned in the Demo cratic situation. The signs at present point rather toward harmony. The delegates r # ot P, .New 5 ork to the national convention of 1 mo are not likely to repeat the una vailing protest made against the great majority made in 1896, hut will rather de monstrate their regularity by assenting to its will with cordiality. No' bolt in case of the triumph of either Bryan ism or its opponents need be expected from Tamma- • ny -... e ew York organization may be! relifcd upon to remain scrupulously regular v\ hichever aide obtains the mastery in the convention. Nor does there appear at pres ent any indication in any state of the pos sibility of the election of a delegation which will holt a Bryanito platform. The indications throughout the Union are that the next National Democratic convention will be harmonious «n its declarations of policy and principles.” 1* rom which the Sun, very sensibly con cludes that the indications of the political situation as it is now, point to an even squarer fight bet ween Bryanism (as it is pleased to term Democracy; and the Re publican party in 1900 than we had in 1890. The “National Democrats” have already disappeared, says the Sun. They have no existence even as a faction, and rhe bottom has dropped out of their plat form, it says. The Sun further d eel-ares that Bryanism may undergo some slight Changes in its guise, but that there will be any essential transformation in it is suggested by nothing which has yet ap peared in the political situation since the election of 1896. AH of which is simply a frank, honest view of the situation by a newspaper that has already made its choice between De mocracy (Bryanism, he it is pleased to call it) and Republicanism. As the Sun forcibly points out, there is but one of two courses open to those who do not like the principles of the two old parties as now laid down—they must recant or with draw. The issue in 1890 will be as clear cut as now. There will be no equivoca tion, and it is idle for any man to hang onto the 'Republican party in the hope that it will take up bi-metallism or the Democratic party in the hope that it will desert—or to the “National” offshoot of the latter in the hope that it will cut any figure either way. The day is come when “he who is not for us is against us,” and forthcoming political battles, whether municipal, coun ty or state, must fee fought on those lines which will keep the main issue well to the front—as the chief test of party loy alty. Any man who is mot now willing ito measure up to the true standard, cannot be counted upon to do so in 1900, and he must, therefore, he regarded as a party enemy, and treated as such. The question as to when the Nineteenth Century ends and the Twentieth Century begins, is again agitating the minds of many people. 'Charles A. Dana made the following answer In the New York Sun a year ago, which ought to settle the mat ter: "Answered once more in the interest of domestic peace. The Nineteenth Cen tury win end ana tne 'i wenxietn century will begin at midnight between December 31, 1900, and January 1, 1901. The year 1900 will be the last year of the present century. The year 1901 will be the first year of the Twentieth Century. This is because there is no year 0. The first Cen tury began with the year 1, and conse quently includes the year 100 A. D. The Nineteenth Century, accordingly, includes the year 1900 A. D. “A small private dinner party was given in Philadelphia the other day which cost $3,500 for food, flowers and other fixtures, the host himself furnishing the plates, which were of solid gold. The ladies present wore about a million dollars worth of diamonds, and one fair and luxurious dame was enveloped in a crearh satin dress which was aotually trimmed with the sparklers. There’s richness for you.” —Macon Telegraph. And this richness is created, largely, at the expense of the South, fey the financial system which the Telegraph so zealously supports.—Colum bia (S. C.) State. At the San elec tions” held last week the following tickets were in the field: Charter Convention, Citizens’ Non-Partisan, United Labor, Citizens' Independent, Citizens’ Demo crat, Socialist Labor, People’s, Republi can. Democrat, and Citizens’ Republican. Only 35 per cent, of the voters availed themselves of their privilege in wading through this aggregation for a choice. Hon. Joe Terrell was a caller at The News office yesterday. He came upon us unawares and caught us unarmed, so we greeted him cordially and inquired anx iously about the health of our mutual friend, the governor. And we are now even willing to admit that Mr. Terrel! isn’t half as bad as he is painted. The Springfield Republican thinks M. A. Hanna’s scheme for re-election to the seriate apears to be as good as M. H. Han na's chance of getting the Indianapolis currency scheme through the present con gress. Rheumatism The pain caused by Rheumatism is intense anti almost unbearable. If a dagger was repeatedly driven into the body, the agony could not be greater. Rheumatism is a blood disease, and its cure can be accomplished only by purifying the blood. There --.Y is but one remedy that overcomes that cause Swift’s specific rKm € (S.S.S)isthe best and the only sure weapon to use in battling with the deadly microbes in the system. It purifies the blood, builds it up, gives it new life and strength, and drives out the disease { germs. It is a vegetable compound S that acts directly upon the blood. It j works from the inside and supplies the veins with life-giving red cor puscles. It is the only Real Blood Remedy made. Every sufferer from Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema or any other blood disease—no matter what name the doctors SdßgSb give it—should write Co., Atlanta. Ga.. for frwjgft k. free books about the NQ&r viO*' cure of all disorders of the blood. ! r fjgjH, POWDER Absolutely Pure That railroad conductor who introduced • a commercial traveler to the people of several Texas towns from the rear end of a Pullman as Mr. Bryan, just returned from Mexico and converted to the gold standard, ought to be fired p. d. q., thinks a free silver exchange. Senator Wolcott, no doubt, can have all the places for his frineds in Colorado that it is in the power of the president to be stow, provided he will let the administra tion down easy, when he addresses con gress the 15th of this month, says an ex change. A Missouri preacher recently delivered I a sermon on the following subject: “Do They Drink Whisky in Jupiter, Dance in Mar 3 and Play High-Five in Venus?” That depends on whether the plannets are inhabited or not, suggests an exchange. An English scholar has written a $2.50 book to prove that the Odyssey was writ ten by a woman. The name of the lady is not given, but suspicion points strongly •to Mrs. Dr. Walker as the author, says the Memphis Commercial-Appeal. SANTA TERESA Has Arrain Excited tiie Yaqui Indians to War ar.d Raid is Threatened. Hermosillo, Mex., Jan. 7. —Teresa Urrea, who is known throughout Northen Mex ico among the Indians and lower class of M. xieans as Santa Teresa, has again re turned to Mexico. The reports reaching here say that she is among the Yaqui Indians, exerting her wonderful influence to stir them up to go oi the war path against the peaceable settlers of the Vaqui river valley. About two hundred braves have allied themselves to her fanatic cause, and a raid is threat ened. A force of government troops have been ordered to the scene of the threatened trouble from Ures, i nthis state. Teresa Urrea is a beautiful Indian girl, and claims to be divinely inspired and to have the power of curing any and all bod ily ills by simply laying her hands on the afflicted persons. She has absolute con trol over the Indians and Mexicans of the lower class. A WORD FROM “OLD NEWTON.” Cheney’s Expectorant cured my son of spasmodic croup.
