The cotton mil) operatives of Augusta an about to pay dearly for their (mistake hi failing to maintain an organization for their own protection. Many of their owu number were the bitterest in denouncing ct.< chortu of certain lalxir leaders to or ganize a union in that city, and thus it is <he mill people of Augusta find themselves today without any established organiza tion that can act for them in the matter of wage reduction which has so disturbed them within the past few days. We do not refer to thia mater to urge the claim® of the operatives or to preju dice th< iiossition of the mills, for we are not fully informed as to the conditions existing among the Augusta cotton mills and therefore know nothing as to the ne cessity for this sweeping cut In iwagee. We merely call attention to the helpless condition of the Augusta operatives to demonstrate how much better off every laboring man is who belongs to and faith fully support* his union. The one who is apathetic in his unionism, or who refuses to maintain some sort of organization for Ids own protection and that of his brother laborer certainly falls to comprehend the conditions under which he is living. He fails to understand what organized labor jhas done and is still doing for the wage sarners of the country. He may be doing well enough himself for the time /being, and it is this, probably, that makes him Indifferent, but if he Is a student of those problems which should interest him as a laboring man he must have learned what unionism has done for labor as a whole, even if It may have done nothing for him directly -though there are few laboring ,linen In this country /who have not 'been Iwncfltt, <1 in a large measure Indirectly by the whohs-orne Influences of trades unions, wtu t lier closely or remotely located. In the first place they have raised the average of wages in almost every branch of trade; while, at the same time, pro moting efficiency and skill. They have se cure! for their members absolute personal Independence; and without them the con dition of our working people. In the largo centers at least, would be closely akin to slavery. Political and perhaps religious liberty would bo unknown among this clas« of people, but for the protecting arm of unionism. View it’ as you may you Will bA forced to the conclusion that the trades union ba« been the salvation of the laboring man. «is well as a benefit to the employer, first In promoting efficiency and reliability and next in affording easy means of fixing or adjusting wage scales and other mat ters coming up where large bodies of men nre employed. As a (bußlnees proposition, therefore, the labor union is desirable. It Hhould bo desired by the employer as well as by the employe, and It usually is. ex cept where the employer desires to treat Ids men unfairly, er as slaves. As a matter of right and political economy there is as much reason why la boring people should not organize for their own protection as there Is why men should organize fraternal orders. Cer tainly laboring men have as much right to tlx a scale of wages for their labor as the manufacturers have to meet and fix a price for the product of that lalbor. It ts wlf protection In both Instances, and where each act within reason is a benefit to tie gained by all concerned. The Proper Plan for Relief. I,L is enough that the practice of "tax dodging” should Inflict an injuctlce on our most cot;s< icntlous eitlzens; but It Is mak ing this glaring eveil doubly harm 1 d «’>< n you go so far as to deprive Gt' • s I drefl of a portion of the meagre idncatiun now accorded them in order chat uie prac tice may continue. For the life of us we cannot see how (any man .who has the interests of his e»tate at heart can favor a reduction of the (school appropriation when there is abun dant evidence on every hand of gross viola tions of the tax law, and abundant reason to believe that this wrong can be corrected without any great trouble. it seems to us a mere question of "tax Reform;” whether or not our law makers are willing that the masses shall struggle cilong under the present system, (relieving them merely by taking .their children out of school) or whether they have the cour age to adopt a system that will practically double the revenue from taxes, without raising the rate —and allow the .present school and pension appropriations to re main as they are. There can be no doubt of the fact that more than enough property escapes tax ation in Georgia altogether than is neces sary to make up the present deficit, even at a lower rate. The proof is available and some of It is sufficient to send some people in Georgia to jail on a charge of perjury, if those charged with the enforce ment of the tax laws would but do their duty. These latter claim, it te true, that the present machinery for enforcing a fair and XuU return of property Is not sufficient. If this is true, they are in part excusable, tout the Legislature cannot be excused for allowing such a "condition to continue. There is no doubt of the fact that the Legislature has the power to correct the evil. Then .why inflict a further injury upon the state by shortening the school term’ Why talk about a reduction of petty sala ries? Why this cry of retrenchment? Bet ter put a stop to the fraud that makes re trenchment seem necessary. Better get at the root of the evil. And we aM know where to find it. It is too much to ask the proud, progres sive state of Georgia to take a step back ward merely because some people insist on paying taxes on one-tenth or one fourth of their possessions. Georgia can not possibly be benefltted by the retrench ments that have been proposed. She can not fail to be benefltted by compelling every citizen to make a fair return of his taxable property. In this way the rate can be materially lowered, th? present rate of progress maintained and the total revenue considerably increased. This, it seems to us, is the only course that can appeal to "the sound business judgment, common sense and fair-mindedness of our legislators. “Tax Reform” and not “Re freuehmeni" is the proper plan for relief. A Few Suggestions, We fear that able body of financiers and statesmen who have gone off to themselves and evolved a plan for retrenchment in the administration of state affairs, adopt ed a pass word and a trade mark, etc., have overlooked a few things in their eagerness to get a whack at the munifi cent salaries of state bouse porters and other public officials iwho are managing to live within their incomes. * So far as we know, they have not left anyone off the list whose salary appears to be in excess of what an economical tnan can live on, provided his .wife takes In sewing or his daughter works out, “but we fear that in their haste they have failed to discover where and how the state might actually make a profit on these public ser vants. That the plan proposed will reduce them all to a basis of strict economy in their private affairs we have no doubt. The idea is that they can learn to live on less, or else work the grocer for it, and the state will be the saver by just that much. So far so good;.but why not go further? Why pot, for instance, farm them out during the off seasons? From Governor Candler down, .why not make them put in their spare time at something else? At torney General Terrell could do a staving good law business in Atlanta, in. addition to bis state house duties, and he ought to be made to bring in four or five thousand dollars extra every year; especially if he should break into some receivership case, in which event he might enable the state to wipe out the entire deficit at once. Commissioner of Agriculture Stevens has not been commissioner Jong enough to have forgotten, how to farm, so he would be a handy man to run a big plantation for the state. We are satisfied he could make the state 110,000 the first year, on a fifty mule farm. And why not put School Commis sioner Glenn to teaching night schools or something of that sort. He is an able edu cator and could easily bring the state a revenue in this way. Oh, there are lots of ways to save the state from Actual bankruptcy If we but go about it. But we fear this thing of merely requiring public officials to work for the honor there is in it, and feed themselves, is not sufficient. The thing is to make them profitable at the same time. • We have mentioned only a few of the overpaid officials, because we do not know the peculiar qualifications of the others, but we suspect that State Librarian Brown could easily add a few honest pennies to the state’s coffers by running a news stand in connection with the state library, while Douglas Glessner could take in plain serv ing or do other things not incompatible with the dignity of a confirmed bachelor. As for the purse-proud clerks in the vari ous departments, they might find other jobs and learn to do the state’s work at night or on Sundays, while the portersand other colored functionaries in the state’s service might be required to mow lawns on commission work as waiters for their board, in order that the state may hire them for the /price of their washing. We merely suggest these things in the hope of aiding and abetting in this effort at reducing taxation. We would not be willing to rent out the state house for a tourist’s hotel, but we realize that taxes must be reduced, and wherever we find a (public official who is making a living /we are willing to throw him down and take it away from him—in the interests, of course, of lower taxes and reform. We don’t know how much the tax rate will be lowered by this sort of thing, if at all, but it is on the line of retrenchment and re form—and we know our constituents. And if this isn’t enough .we are willing to make every man pay the state for the privilege of holding office. Anything to stop the expense and appease the dear people. Preserve Order at the Outset. If reports that have already been re ceived by The News Are true —and we have no reason to doubt them—it is in or der to ma kb a suggestion that may pre vent future trouble In this city. Grave fears have already been expressed as to the possible conduct of the negro soldiers who are to be encamped here for a time, but The /News, for one, has been inclined to discourage these fears, because it felt that the officers in. charge could be relied on to maintain 'good order and discipline. But it may be just as well that our own citizens endeavor to co-operate to this enr, especially at the outset, when, by re porting cases of disorder on the part of soldiers (white, as well ae black), ttie im pression will be pointedly conveyed that anything like misconduct or rowdyism will not be tolerated in’ this community. This suggestion is intended particularly for street car conductors and motormen, kvhO owe it to the public and to the com panies employing them to preserve order on their cars, a thing which, we regret to say, has not been done In several in stances. A few infractions of the kind we have In mind will inevitably lead to worse forms of disorder, and, sooner or later, harsh measures will be necessary to en force good behavior on the part of those who have already been allowed too much license. Better hold a firm rein at the out set than to run the risk of more serious trouble later on. And in this effort our citizens, irrespective of color or calling, should willingly co-operate. Inconsistent. /A majority of our free-trade, anti-ex pansionist Democratic contemporaries are woefully inconsistent,in their arguments against the annexation of the Spanish is lands, it being their contention that the products of these Islands, being admitted free of duty, as would be required under our constitution, would cause the ruin of our sugar and tobacco raisers. While the point is undoubtedly well taken, is it not nn-Democrstic to admit that free trade will hurt anybody? The question is do you want to see the news of the day before night, or can you wait until tomorrow? If you want it on the day it happens you must subscribe to The News. The process by which Platt will trans form Teddy Roosevelt from an ardent re former into a machine politician is well worth watching. New York is to be congratulated. She is soon to have telephone connection with Atlanta. And to think that Van Wyck gave up a $14,000 job, too. Macon's wholesale trade is not should be. Why? CA.B T O H. X A. .

LANE, General Manager. pm &akii<o POWDER Absolutely Pure OFFICERS ASSIGNED ; Merritt to the East and Shafter to Command Pacific. By Associated Press. New York, Nov. 15—>A special to the Tribune from Washington says; General Merritt will resume command of the department of the East, with head quarters at Governor's Island, when he returns from Europe, and General Shafter will go to San Francisco to command the department of the Pacific, which he re linquished when the war began and he was ordered to New Orleans and eventually to Tampa and Cuba. These assignements are to be made whether hostilities are resumed or not, as both of the officers concerned are satisfied to make way and give younger men an opportunity for active service in the field if occasion requires. General Shafter will reach the retiring age of 64 years on Oc tober 16. 1899, and it Is likely his wish to end the military career in his adopted home on the Pacific slope will be respect ed. In fact, as much was promised to him when he took command at Governor’s Is land. General Merritt can advance no further in rank before his retirement, on June 16, 1900, as his immediate superior, General • Miles, still has five years to serve. .

There are thou -•* sands of men who are recklessly risking their lives while they go about their common every-day avoca tions. They over-work, they do not take sufficient time from business or labor to eat or or rest, or to care for their health. Outraged nature throws ont danger signals, to which they pay no heed. They suffer from bilious or nervous disorders, from sick headache, giddiness, drowsiness, cold chills, flushings of heat, shortness of breath, blotches on tfye skin, loss of ap petite, uncomfortable sensations in the stomach after meals, loss of sleep, lassi tude and trembling sensations. These are the advance symptoms of serious and fatal maladies. All disorders of this nature are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It restores the lost appetite, gives sound and refreshing sleep, makes the digestion per fect, the liver active. It purifies the blood and makes it rich with the life-giving ele ments of the food. It is the great blood maker and flesh-builder. It makes the body active and the brain keen. It is the best ' of nerve tonics. Thousands have testified •to its merits. No honest dealer will urge upon you a substitute for the little extra profit it may afford. The man or woman who neglects consti pation is gathering in the system a store of disorders that will culminate in some serious and possibly fatal malady. Dr. Pierce’s Pleasant Pellets are a safe, sure, i speedy and permanent cure for constipa tion. One little “ Pellet” is a gentle laxa tive, and two a mild cathartic.
