To the Public.
Recognizing the fact •that, both the daily
papers of Macon are of great value to the
community and arc equally entitled to sup
port of Its citizens, as well as to a divis
ion of such public patronage as is directed
by the people servants' I have decided to
- publish the legal advertisements emanat
ing from the sheriff's office of Bibb coun
ty m lxrth the Macon Telegraph and The
(Macon Evening News, beginning Febru
ary Ist, 1898. G. 8. Woatoott.
Sheriff Illbb County.
The Sheriffs' Advertising.
The News publishes above a card from
HherifT <l. S. Wcstcmt, which explains it
self. It means that all the legal adver
tisements emanating from the office of
sheriff of Illbb county will be published
in The News for a period of two years
beginning February Ist. 1898. The same
advertisements will also appear in the
Macon Toll graph, as hercofore, the sheriff
believing, «» he states, that both the daily
papers of Moeon are of great benefit to
the community, and are, 'therefore, en
titled to a division of the public patron
age.
It is only fair to state that the publica
tion of the sheriff's legal advertising In
The News, by his authority, constitutes
this i*aper a legal organ for the publica
tion of all advertisements of a legal na
ture, including administrators sales,
guardians and executors notices, applica
tions for charter, marshal’s sales, etc.
Those who are disposed to favor The
News with this class of patronage are
now free to do so, and the same will re
ceive the necessary attention and be fully
appreciated by the management.
The publication of the sheriff’s adver
tisements la The News will also give this
paper increased prestige and make it of
still greater Interest to the general pub
lic, hence the management confidently ex
pects an Increase in the circulation of the
paper.
The selection of The News by Sheriff
Westcott as a medium for the publication
of the legal advertisements emanating
from his office is entirely voluntary on
his i>art and will be paid for at the rate
demanded by The News.
Some Important Decisions.
A point repeatedly advanced by The
News relative to railroad freight and pas
senger tariffs, as regulated by commis
sions, is that the true basis for such rates
Is not what will allow the roads to pay
Interest on fixed charges, but what is a
reasonable earning on the real investment,
as represented by the cost of construction
and equipment and operating excuses.
We have repeatedly shown that ihe rail
roads of Georgia, in cases that, from time
to time, come before the commission in
variably raise the cry that they are not
earning a certain i>cr cent of their fixed
charges, and, as a consequence, the com
mission lias hesitated to reduce rates.
But we have alro shown that it is a part
of the policy of the modern railroad to so
pile up its fixed charges as to enable it to
—■ -**-•' make the very plea that is so successful
In all cas-s calling for a r»alJustmeu. of
rates. In other war la, by increasing their
bended indebtedness to ten times what it
should be, a railroad reduces its net earn
ings one-tenth, as shown by its books —
though the result to its owners is the same.
For instance, if the Central railroad ban
corn only 3 per cent, on a bonded indebt
edness of $50,000,000. the same road act
ually earns 30 per cent on its assessed
value, or about 15 per cent on its actual
value. It is evident that if tliu Central’s
books showed an actual earning of 15 per
cent the commission might be more dis
posed to reduce rates where they are
clearly shown to be excessive.
Our attention has been called to recent
important decisions which lay stress on
this point. One of these decisions is
“Steenersou vs. Railroad,” filed by the
supreme court of Minnesota, October 20th,
1597, and is a very exhaustive opinion by
a very able court, reviewing the whole
subject of the right of commissions or
boards, authorized by state Legislatures
to fix rates, and the proper basis for such
rates.
It is there held by a unanimous 'bench,
that the fixing of rates is a Legislative or
administrative act, not a judicial one,
and the courts cannot place themselves in
the shoe's of the Railroad Commission and
try de novo the question what are reason
able rates, but the court can only inter
vene if it appear that the rates are fixed
so low that it amounts to confiscation of
the property, by protecting Che earning
of any rtturn thereon. In passing on that
question the court says the test is not
Jjp ■whether the rates are high enough to pay
Interest on the fixed charges since that
■would be probably just to the public, be
cause most railroad corporations are
bonded and stocked far above their value.
Nor is the test at what sum the road was
bought in at a foreclosure sale, nor vet
what was the original cost of build
ing the road, but the true and
just test is what would it cost
to rebuild the road today. On that
sum the corporation is entitled to earn a
reasonable interest, which considering the
fall in the rates of interest the court fixed
214 pc-' cent per year on portions of the
property and 5 per cent on other portions.
We have not space to copy here the pro
cess of reasoning by which the court ar
rived at their conclusion, upon the pre
cedents, but it is a very interesting opin
ion, and those desiring to read ... in full
will find it in the Northwest Reporter for
November 13 and 20, 1597. from which we
copy what we have quoted.
The Raleigh (N. C.) News and Observer,
which also comments on these decisions,
says:
“They have an especial Interest and
value in North Carolina, where we are
burdened with paying, of some roads, 15
to 20 per cent on the actual value of the
property and this would probably be really
30 per cent, or more, if the enormous sal
aries of railroad officials, lobbying ex
penses, sums spent in maintaining news
papers and other illegal expenses were
disallowed (as the courts hold should be
done) and the North Carolina roads were
also allowed a fair pro rata of the charges
made for carrying through business.
“This exorbitant burden of freight and
passenger rates in North Carolina, is
Crushing our factories, as well as our
farms. The factory men have organized
and shown up. not only the excessive
rates, but the discrimination against
North Carolina. Tho farmers are also
alive to their interests to this matter, and
by their votes will show that they are not
j willing tribute j>ayers to Pierpont Morgan
& Company.”
The Meaning of It
A nan Is not a revolutionist because he
reads the signs of the times aright. He :a
not an extremist and an anarchist because
he admits that certain evils oppress the
people and forces the inevitable resuit if
conditions are not properly adjusted.
Nor is The News a revolutionist because
it sees in the earnest demands of certain
labor leaders and in the mutterings of the
masses in a funnel-shaped cloud that
threatens the peace of this country. We are
Dot a revolutionist, nor an anarchist be
came we join our voice with theirs in an
earnest, conservative appeal for a remedy.
People would not listen to prophecies
of the flood, and ever since they have
closed their ears to warnings of impending
danger.
In this respect history will probably
attain repeat Itself. Men will continue to
grind their fellow men, syndicates will
continue to corner the bread of the world,
the few will continue to opress the many,
•and the centralization of power will con
tinue to grow more unbearable, until, at
last, the majority will rise, once more,
to throw off the yoke which has been
placed upon them contrary to all natural
laws and contrary to all the laws of God.
This is the meaning of certain gather
ings which we now see in our midst, and
which are repeated elsewhere almost daily,
in increased number and in increased
earnestness.
There is an awakening among the
masses, the toilers—the oppressed. Heav
en forbid that they may come to a full
realization of their wrongs before the
statesmanship of the country has antici
■pated them by wholesome legislation that
will provide a more temperate remedy
than that which they would apply if
driven, at last, to the necessity of doing
so.
Is History About to Report Itself.
The above question is asked by l>r.
Carlton, the able editor of the Athens
Banner, a man who writes thoughtfully
and conservatively on every topic that he
attempts to discuss.
in studying the history of nations and
taking note of those conditions which
have brought about such governmental
disturbance as to find its solution in revo
lution, there is nowhere to be found a
condition of affairs so strikingly similar
to that which obtains in our country at
this time, as were the public grievances
and oppressions which forced the French
people Into the great revolution of 1789.
In commenting on these conditions and
the causes therefor, Editor Carlton takes
the ‘position that it is the manifest pur
pose of the plutocratic powers of this
country, as did the nobility and clergy—
tho landlords—of France under the reign
of Louis XVI, to shape the ends of gov
ernment as to make of themselves a privi
leged and protected class, while the toil
ing, bread-earning masses shall be made
to bear tho burden of government, there
can no longer exist an intelligent doubt.
Even more oppressive and defiantly an
tagonistic to the rights, the liberties, and
the protective prosperity of the people,
than was true of the privileged classes of
France, has become the concentrated, com
bined capital of this country, he says.
Continuing Editor Carlton truly says:
“With no apparent hopefulness of an
early relief to that oppression, want and
distress, which as an inevitable and con
tinuing result of this abnormal and un-
Democratic condition of affairs, has be
come hraodcast throughout the land, the
question must naturally arise with every
intelligent, thinking American, yea, and
even with the most conservative states
men, how long will a suffering and out
raged people endure the evils and wrongs
of oppressive government?
“When we contemplate the unmistaka
ble similarity between the existing griev
ances of the American people and those
which forced the French, through revolu
tion, to throw off the yoke of oppression in
1789, we may not most rationally appre
hend a like resistance on the pare, of our
toiling, struggling masses, who, at the
hands of government, are now burdened
and gound down beyond further or longer
endurance? n
“Yes, the issues are momentous, the
question of relief has assumed a most im
portant. and serious aspect, the people are
distrustful, restive and disquieted to a
degree never before experienced in tho
history of our country, the signs of the
times are alarming, the slumbering pow
ers of a spirited and resistful American
ism, and which have been patient and
long-suffering through a love of our
Democratic institutions, are fast losing
their patience and submissiveness, the
rumbling of the, perhaps not far distant,
volcanic explosion may be hcaixl In the
complaints of the reduced and striking
wage-earners throughout the length and
breadth of our land, and now, with
thoughtful people arises the most perti
nent and anxious inquiry, is tho history
of the French revolution of 1789 about to
repeat itself here in our Republican
America?”
Increase the Force,
The News has had the satisfaction of
hearing its editorial calling for an increase
in the police force almost generally ap
proved. It Is evident to everyone that the
present force is entirely too small for the
town, and is, therefore, practically of no
value outside of the business portion of
the city. The residence section, as shown
by The News, has only one policeman for
about one square mile of territory, and,
of course, this is equivalent to no protec
tion at all.
It would not cost the city a great deal
to add six or eight new men to 'the force,
and it is generally conceded that the same
amount of money could not be spent to a
better advantage.
While we are talking to our suburban
neighbors about “annexation” and the
benefits of police protection, we should,
at least, try to provide a force sufficient
in size to prevent acts of highway rob
bery in thickly settled localities—else
they might think it safer to remain as
they are.
Mayor Price could do nothing that
would be more generally approved than
by bringing this matter to the attention
of council tonight.
The Criminal Record.
Following up its statistical summary of
the lynching® of last year and the causes
leading to them, the Chicago Tribune
gives some interesting figures on suicides,
homicides and other forms of crime in
1897.
There were 6,600 suicides during the
year. The causes, so far as ascertained,
for these self murders were: Despondency.
2.580; insanity. 467: liquor. 270; ill health,
356; domestic infelicity, 301; disappointed
love, 271; business losses, 124, and un
known. 1,928.
The homicides of 1597 number 9,520, the
lightest record of any year since 1893. The
causes of these crimes were as follows:
Quarrels 4.638
Unknown 2.655
Jealousy ’ , 376
Liquor 51S
By highwaymen 387
Infanticide 321
Resisting arrest 195
Highwaymen killed 128
Insanity 93
Self defense 97
Strikes 49
Outrages 42
Riots 21
Forgeries, embezzlements,andotherforms
of stealing account for losses to the total
of $11,245,054. Lasses of life by accident
are reported as follows: Two thousand two
hundred and forty-six on the ocean;
65 on inland waters; 2,764 by railway ac
cidents, and 9,115 from various forms of
mishap.

Friday contained fiften columns of names
of pensioners receiving annually from $540

one third cf one per cent of the number
on the rolls. The anual expen liturc rep
