I hat Commission.
The News has been handled the follow
ing interesting communication, which
throws some new light on the railroad
commission bill, about iwhich there has
been so much discussion. The comtnunea
tiion clearly vindicates the position taken
by Colonel Candler and shows where Air.
Berner stood at that time.
<lt is addressed to '.Mr. .1. T. Williams, of
Jones county, and Is as follows:
Eatonton, 'May 18th, 1898.
Mr. J. T. Williams-
Dear Sir: Yours of the 10th Inst making
inquiry concerning the railroad coinmis
eion bill which was before the general as
semblj in lss.>. to hand. The article pub
lished in the Eatonton 'Messenger to which
you refer, was written, I understand by a
citizen of this place. I never saw it prior
to its publication. My recollection of tint
bill referred to is this:
It originated in the senate and passed
that branch of the legislature. It contain
ed what to me was a very objectionable
feature, in that it provided for an appeal
from the action of the commission in fix
ing rates to a jury.
W hile this looked fair, I thought that
the practical effect would be to very much
impair, if not destroy, the usefulness of
the commission. It would have had no ul
timate or final power in fixing rates. The
bill, as stated, came to the house with the
objectionable appeal privision. Its pas
sage was recommended by a majority of
the railroad committee, there being a mi
nority report signed by Mr. Berner and
others. When the bill was read a third
lime for the purpose of being put upon its
passage, 1 immediately obtained the floor,
and offered an amendment striking out
«11 that portion of the bill providing for an
appeal. This amendment brought about
quite a prolonged debate. lasting through «
portion of several days. On a vote ‘being
had the amendment received eighty-odd
votes, a majority of those voting, and was
thereby adopted as part of the bill. The
bill as amended, when put upon its .pas
sage, also received eighty-odd votes, but it
failed to get eighty-eight votes, or a con
stitutional majority of the whole house of
175 members. The bill as passed by the sen
ate contained theobjectinable appeal pro
vision and was never voted on at all in the
house. A minority of the house, including'
(Mr. Berner, voted against the amendment
and also against the bill as amended.
Very truly. W. T. Jenkins.
The most complete election returns will
be displayed by The News next Monday
night.

The Hawaiian government is making a
strong bid for annexation by its refusal to
proclaim neutrality as between the United
States and Spain.

Is This the Trouble?
A local story in today’s News brings to
the attention of our city authorities a most
vital question in connection with the pres
ent health of the city, which—for the
truth cannot be disguised—is not the best.
It is asserted on the very .best authority,
based on a careful analysis, that the
trouble is not, as generally supposed, with
the city’s water supply. While the water
now being served the people is not all that
could be desired, expert testimony, from
an impartial source, goes to show that it
is not actually unhealthful, and. therefore,
is not responsible for the epidemic of
fevers and other ills that now afflict our
people.
VS hat then is the cause? On this point
The News prints an opinion from an
equally reliable source going to snow that
the city’s sewer system has faulty features
which alone are responsible lor so much
sickness. .And, without expressing a posi
tive opinion, pending a thorough investi
gation of the matter, we must confess that
the reasons given seem entirely plausible
in view of the facts.
In a word, it is asserted that the sewer
openings, which seem to be peculiar only
to the ‘Macon sewerage system, are the
real cause of the city’s unhealthfulness. It
is staled that such openings are to be
found in few- other systems, and are not
considered safe from a modern sanitary
standpoint. The News learns that there
was much opposition to these openings at
the time the sewers were built, and that
the contractors themselves suggested the
danger thereof, —though, of course, they
carried out the work in accordance with
the specifications—but were overruled by
the supervising engineer.
Whatever may be the facts in the case,
the matter should be investigated. It is
of too am ion* « nature to be settled by the
unsupported opinion of one or a few men.
If the sewer system is faulty the people
should know it. it the sewer openings are
a menace to the health and lives of our
citizens they should be done away with.
Expert testimony should be had at once.
In ‘behalf of the citizens of Macon, whose
lives are at stake, The News appeals to
council to take the matter under imme
diate and serious consideration.
If it be true that the sewer openings are
responsible for so much sickness in Ma
con, the matter should be remedied at
once. The thing to do is to find out.
It Goes.
The Macon Telegraph puts forth a char
acteristic editorial today apologizing to
itself for being called a liar by Colonel
Candler, and incidentally attempts to
justify its article which called forth froffi
Colonel Candler such an emphatic and de
served reply.
The Telegraph twists the entire matter
around so as to make it appear that the
article as published was substantially cor
rect, and that Colonel Candler misrepre
sented the case when he called the Tele
graph a liar.
We do not believe Colonel Candler needs
any help to make good his assertions,
especially when they are so clearly in the
range of possibilities as they always are
when he characterizes the Telegraph in the
manner of his Griffin speech. But, just
the same, it is not out of place to call at
tention to the real point at issue, and to
see wherein the Telegraph has failed to
lie on Colonel Candler, or wherein Colonel
Candler has done the Telegraph an injus
tice in saying it lied.
The Telegraph stated very calmly and
deliberately that Colonel Mark Hardin and
Mr. Phil Cook, candidates for the Demo
cratic nomination for secretary of state,
are indignant over the scheme launched
by some of Colonel Candler’s friends to
place at least one county in Georgia in
position to be used advantageously in a
trade, if opportunity arises in the conven
tion.
The cause of their alleged complaint, ac
cording to the Telegraph, was that tickets
had been- issued in Forsyth county, in the
northeastern portion of the state, with the
name of Hon. .William Clifton, the present
secretary, instead of the names of Colonel
Hardin and Mr. Cook.
The Telegraph further stated that this
alleged trick in an acknowledged Candler
county, prompts the opposition to wonder
if the Candler forces are not preparing for
a deadlock in the convention.
If the article had any meaning at all,
it was intended as a reflection on Colonel
Candler’s campaign methods. Indeed, no
one will believe that it would have been
published at all except for such a pur
pose. Therefore it constituted a definite
and serious charge against Colonel Cand
ler and his campaign managers, and as
such was, no doubt, intended by the Tele
graph. which, throughout this campaign—
while deceitfully professing neutrality—
has eagerly published everything of a
nature unfavorable to Colonel Candler,
supplemented by malicious editorial com
ment thereon; but never a word in his
favor or even fairly just to him.
Naturally enough. ■ the Telegraph’s
charge called for a reply from Colonel
Candler, and this was promptly forth
coming in the following style, according
to the Telegraph’s own account:
“Going further, he said that the Tele
graph had never been Democratic save in
name and he hurled at its head the epi
thet of “ gratuitous liar.” Reading a spe
cial from Atlanta in the Issue of this
morning as regards Colonel 'Mark
[Hardin and 'Mr. Phil Cook being in
the city and their indignation over a
scheme launched in. Forsyth county in re
gard to bogus tickets, or rather tickets
with the name of Hon. William Clifton on
them instead of either of the two other
gentlemen, he said it was a wilful lie.”
Now. the Telegraph purposely, and. no
doubt maliciously, charged Col. Candler or
his friends with a form of trickery—'with
doing a certain thing for which, as all the
facts show, they were in no sense respon
sible. Colonel Candler flatly denied the
allegations and “denounced the alligator."
Investigation showed that the Telegraph’s
charge was unfounded, except in so far
as it related to the inadvertent act of a
getlemen whose oversight could be
given no such construction as the Tele
graph placed upon it.
The manly thing, the decent thing, the
honest thing, therefore, for the Telegraph
to do was to apologize to Colonel Candler
for having made such an unjust charge.
But who would expect either of these
things from such a source? What did it
do? Why. as was expected, it attempted
to justify its action, and snarled at Colo
nel Candler for calling a spade a spade. It
complained at his “gift of expletive." and
even went so far as to say, in answer to
Colonel Candler’s caustic characteriza
tion. “gratuitous liar.” that it had “no
gift in that direction—no taste for that
sort of thing”—a habit it was probably
cured of only a short time ago, for the
Telegraph. It will be remembered, estab
lished a temporary reputation as being
prompt to call almost anyone a liar who
dared to teH the truth on it.
But so familiar is the Telegraph with the
term “liar” that it accepts the epithet
complacently when applied to itself: there
fore it pursues the unique policy of argu
ing with Colonel Candler the justice of his
latest attempts at expletive, while, at the
same time, trying to justify itself through
a circumstance which in no way affects
the point at issue.
We don’t know how Colonel Candler
feels about it. but. so far. we have failed
to discover one single reason why Colonel
Candler should in any wav modify the
language used by him at Griffin with refer
ence to the Telegraph. Indeed, we are of
the opinion that the general public will
not object to it on general principles.
Therefore, we are led to infer that it still

Who is a Democrat?
The Atlanta Journal of yesterday gives
its leading editorial the above pertinent
heading. “Who is a 'Democrat?” asks the
Journal. Or, to put another way, “What is
a Democrat?' ' It will be generally admit
ted, we think, that the Journal is sadly in
need of information on this point. We
have known all along that the Journal was
not quite clear as to who and what a Dem
ocrat is. Had it been otherwise it would
have had the honesty, perhaps, to make no
professions as to its own standing in the
party.
But, to answer the Journal’s question,
William Jennings Bryan, whom the Jour
nal has slandered and belittled in season
and out, is a Democrat, while' Grover
Cleveland, whom the Journal has bootlick
ed and applauded day after day, is a mug
wump of mugwumps. Therefore, those
newspapers which have stood by the for
mer are Democratic, while the Journal,
which has persistently opposed* the Demo
cratic leader and his principles, is un
•Democratic in all that the term implies.
To put it another way, a Democrat is
one who endorses his party’s platform and
stands by his party’s candidates. Those
who refuse to accept the'Democratic plat
form and who oppose the pasty’s candi
dates are not Democrats.
This is a simple rule, hut will, we be
lieve, hold good in every case. It certainly
applies with force to the Journal, the Ma
con Telegraph and a few other sore-head,
disgruntled paper:} in the South. Let the
Journal think of it, and it may easily find
the answer to its questions—“ Who is a
Democrat?” “What is a Democrat?”
The New York Sun has discovered that
the office of the New York Evening Post
is honeycombed with Spanish spies.
A Tribute to the Ringsters.
“Who are the ringsters?” asks the Rome
Tribune. Who, indeed? Any information
offered the Tribune on this point would
be like carrying coals to Newcastle. The
Tribune’s long and .intimate acquaintance
and connection with the most disreputable
gang of ringsters that ever dominated the
politics of this state not only places it in
a position to know positively who the ring
sters are, but where they are “at,” how
that the people have rebelled against their
rule and are determined to throw them
off next 'Monday.
And as a ringster the Tribune deserves
to rank with the worst of them: for it has
been the hand organ of their chief for th®
past several years. And to make its of
fense worse it has dared to steal the cloak
of political reform to serve the ringsters'
in. For weeks and months the Tribune
has been crying, “stop thief.” while all the
time shielding the real “ringsters” behind
its saintly garments. As a political Phari
see the Tribune is several steps ahead of
anything in the procession.
If a race war breaks out in Charleston,
thinks the 'Memphis Commercial-Appeal,
it must be attributed to the following edi-’
torial paragraph from the News and
Courier of that city: “We rise to remind
Messrs. Sampson and Schley and their
brave comrades that in this crisis in our
naval affairs America expects every man
to Deweys Deweyty.”
A Kansas scientist has just published a
thrilling romance entitled “The Behavior
of Kinoplasm and Nucleolus in the Divis
ion of the Pollen Mother Cells of Asclep
ias Cornute.” We confess that it is a dif
ficult matter to differ with the gentleman
on the theory advanced.
The Republicans are going to make a.
desperate effort to capture Tennessee this
year, and some rather sensational devel
opments may be looked for, declares the
Knoxville Tribune. Perhaps the Tribune
really meant criminal developments.
The Augusta Herald claims to have met
a man the other day who had no sugges
tions for the capture of Cervera. He was
deaf and dumb and had been so all his
life.
All this here talk about Admnrable Ser
verer’s being 'bottle'd up in Virago de Cuba
makes us tired, gently remarks an ex
change.
Cervera no doubt feels that those con
gratulations tendered him for entering
Santiago harbor were a little premature.
Someone suggests that the Washington
baseball team this season is apparently
managed by a board of strategy.
The News has arranged for a special
magic latern display of election returns
and war news for next 'Monday night.
Come around next 'Monday night and
read The News’ election returns and war
buletins.
Gentlemen of council, investigate those
sewer openings. The people’s lives are in
volved.

Day and Decoration Day get together.
