a
MMIIAOK AND CHARACTER.
Every one, whatever be his condition
or occupation, desires, with at least some
•degree of earnestness, to use his own
language well and effectively. The art
■of speaking, though not set apart among
what are called the fine arts, is pre-emi
nently the art of all men, and is cer-
ainly as capable of becoming as truly
fine as any other. Many of the efforts to
make it so, however, begin at the wrong
•end. As Mr. Ruskin well expresses it,
"“The chief vices of education have arisen
from the one great fallacy of supposing
■that noble language is a communicable
trick of grammar and accent, instead of
simply the careful expression of right
thought.”
Certainly he that would speak well
•must observe the rules of grammar and
rhetoric, must avoid slang and exaggera
tion, must study the meaning of words
and learn to use them and to emphasize
them with discrimination and judgment.
There is, however, something deeper
than all this, out of which it must grow
if there is to ho any real growth in our
language or improvement in our speech.
If language is the expression of thought,
then the speaker must see to it that he
has thought to express. The vacant
mind and the frivolous character may
indulge in many words and continual
talk, hut, can never originate flue lan
guage, for the very first elements are
lacking. What is not worth thinking or
feeling can only clothe itself in language
not worth hearing.
All the qualities which arc attributed
to excellent speech will be found to have
their roots in excellent character. Men
admire its clearness and accuracy; they
come from a love of the truth and a
'■desire to convey it exactly. They value
its vigor and raciness, which flow from
the active and vigorous mind. They
delight in its intensity and tenderness,
which are the natural outpouring of in
tense and tender feelings. The cheap
imitations of these excellences, even
when aided by proficiency in the study
of language and expertness in its use,
can never communicate the same impres
sions or convey the same • ideas, bike
•counterfeit coin, they lack the ring of
4die true metal.
Indeed, the one primary necessity of
all fine language is sincerity, bet a man
utter what he honestly thinks or earn
estly feels, and at once his diction be
comes simple, clear and even pure. The
very effort to say exactly what he ineai s
educates and re tines his speech. On the
other hand if he be not sure of what he
means or feels, if he tries to accommo
date himself to what he supposes is ex
pected of him, or if he more deliberately
aims to convey a false impression, his
.language will be confused and obscure.
YU honor to those who are lifting our*
language into high rank which it has al
ways deserved, but not always occupied,
an systems of education. Only let it
never be suffered to stand instead of
that which it is its chief glory to represent.
Let it be distinctly understood that truth
.and fidelity must underlie all language
worthy to be spoken, that there must be
no mimicking of thought or pretense of
feeling, or attempt to cover the absence
■of either by fluency of words, however
polished or mellifluous they may be.
Only let this foundation be laid deep and
firm, and no. superstructure of learning
or art can bo too costly or beautiful. All
study of language, from the simplest ele
ments of grammar to the formation of
the purest style, if built on this basis,
will ennoble and purify the speech of the
rising generation.
Those, also, who have hut little time
or opportunity for such study may
always dignify and improve their lan
guage by guarding and elevating their
moral sentiments. It is not difficult to
trace the close resemblance between the
language and the character of a nation;
but a nation is composed of individuals,
and in each one, however humble or
obscure, noble thoughts and tender feel
ings will utter themselves in noble and
tender words. If it is true that “out of
abundance of the heart the mouth spenk-
eth," then it is also true that every effort
to purify and sweeten the heart, to
strengthen and invigorate the mind, and
to put fidelity and energy into the life (
will also exalt and dignify the speech
and make its influence a blessing to all
who hear it.
TIIE I.AHOH (QUESTION.
YVe publish the first of a series of ar
ticles this morning on the subject of the
laboring man and his rights under the
laws of this state. This will he reviewed
from various standpoints bv one of the
most practical and most prominent busi
ness men of this city, and a man
thoroughly conversant with the law even
to the minutest details, it is need
less fur us to sav to those who read- the
article this morning that the subsequent
ones will be looked forward to with
much interest.
We are having in the various and ever
changing phases and present energies of
l be labor movement, new proofs of the
little wisdom with which the affairs of
this world are ordered and managed.
There is no question that it is wise to al
ways be on the alert for any emergency,
and the country has recently passed
through some of the greatest trials in its
history. Whether the result came from
over production, because of prolific ma
chinery, or from under consumption, be
cause of insufficient means to buy, em
ployment bad got so slack in some places
and trades, and wages so low, that it re
quired the most strenuous exertion to
make what was earned in some lines of
labor go far enough to provide for the in
dispensable needs of the workers
anil their families. This is
less conspicuous in our country than
among any other commercial and indus
trial people; and the pressure is not so
severe at this moment as it was a few
months ago, for we have entered upon a
season of revived activity, unless it is
neutralized by the numerous strikes.
Rut the privation has existed for a long
time, because of the slack work and in
adequate earnings of many trades and
industries, and the uneasiness and dis
satisfaction and restiveness have existed
at the same time. While we have had
periods like this in some respects before,
we have never bad one just like the
present, where the grievances were so
palpable or where the organization for
the purpose of seeking and asserting
remedies and redress were so calculated
to challenge attention. Vet the laws of
tins country show a partiality to the
laboring classes that is shown to no other
class on the face of the globe. Our corre
spondent shows this very clearly in the
article we publish this morning, and we
do not hesitate to Bay that there is no
man in the state who can challenge the
facts as he states them.
RELATION OE INSANITY TO SIN.
A writer for the London Saturday Re
view presents an old proposition in a new
light in discussing the relation of insani
ty to sin. Though in recent yeais less
legal respect lias been shown for the
theory of temporary insanity in the de
fense of criminals than was for a time the
abuse, there is yet a considerable reliance
placed upon that line of defense when
the crime is particularly atrocious and
wanton. That old Scotch physiologist,
Andrew Ooombees, expressed the opinion
that a large proportion of the people with
whom we come into daily contact, and
whom we suspect of no mental derange
ment, are really to some degree diseased
in mind and liable to sudden develop-
mtnt of insanity. This by no means
comforting theory is happily dependent
upon so many conditions not liable to
happen that we need entertain no anx
iety because of its truth, nor would its
practical proof weaken the proposition
of the writer for the Review that abnor
mal wickedness dees not necessarily war
rant a presumption of madness.
The present state of science is not such
that we can infallibly determine Banitv
or insanity through the external symp
toms or characteristics of an individual,
whatever the private opinion may be.
But it is a general disposition, as the
writer referred to points out, to offer t<>
excuse any heinous act or gross miscon
duct in persons in whom we arc closely
interested by implying that they are not
wholly sound of mind ; and it is the ex
porienee of every judge before whom
such eases have come that all sorts o;
anecdotes are told to prove the lunacy 01
eccentricity of mind precedent to the acts'
under investigation. In our courts for
the trial of insane causes these bits of
gossip, these stories of odd behavior, are
often quite sufficient to secure the com
mittal of the Subject to an asylum with
out any graver evidence; and by that
process the mitigation of punishment for
crimes determined before higher courts
lias frequently been effected. But with
the proposition that wickedness, errati
oism, or a concentration of all vices, does
not necessarily imply that a man is mad,
goes the further proposition that a per
son not wholly sound in mind may be
fully responsible for a crime committed
or a wrong done.
THE WAY IT IS DONE IN COLOUR US.
The Enquirer-Sun has before this said
that if the entire Midland subscription
made by Columbus was efficient in secur
ing the road, and then lost as an invest
rneut, it would still be the best paying
stock our people ever held. We repeat
that; because the very acts which made
that subscription possible, have given
new life and inspired great confidence in
our people. The town is a unit iD any
thing calculated to foster its interets in
the smallest degree. We feel equal to
any emergency, and have confidence in
our unity and strength. This paper has
pointed out to our citizens the loss they
were sustaining in not building a road
south of us. The Enquirer-Sun went
farther than this, and told ’
foorces, (and who lo put at
helm if we wished to accom
plish i(H construction. It is a satisfaction
to know the suggestions were literally
acted upon. On Friday before last a re
quest was made for twenty-five of our
leading citizens to meet in the in
terest of this road. On Saturday the
meeting was held. In ten minutes the
explanations of the objects of the meet
ing was made, and the books opened for
subscriptionsSto make surveys, estimates
and profiles. Every man present put
his name down promptly. In thirty
minutes the meeting had adjourned. No
flourish of trumpets, no pleading, no pru-
viofls understanding, no talk. It was a
business meeting.
Yesterday—just one week after—the
corps lmd not only been organized and
the money for their pay put in bank, but
about seven miles of the survey made.
This is but the outgrowth of the
feeling long ago instilled' in
to our .people by their own action. Suc
cess brings with it confidence, confidence
begets success. There was never a brighter
future before us, nor a people more en
titled to such a future.
The way our people get at these things
is in such strange contrast with the way
it is often done, that we shall be excused
for the present recital. We prefer the
Columbus way. It .seems to have an
efficacy about it that is refreshing. We
only hope the towns and the people
along the line of this proposed road will
catch the same spirit, and then its suc
cess is certain.
AIR. CARMICHAEL’S COMPLAINT.
At Talbotton on Friday night Mr. J. A'.
Carmichael made another speech. In it
ho stated that the Enquirer-Bun reporter
committed an outrage on him in the re
port made of his speech in Columbus on
Thursday evening. The Enquirer-Sun
reporter reproduced the speech word for
word, as scores are willing to testify.
Mr. Carmichael lias declared that a ver
batim report of his own speech is an out
rage on him, and he ought to know. The
Enquirer-Sun is not prepared to differ
with him on that point. Mr. Carmichael
is a gentleman who deserves to be treated
well by the regular democracy, as he
goes around. He isn’t doing the regular
democracy any harm nor is he injuring
any other concern except Doris'
circus, whose receipts are con-
siderablyy diminished when it
strikes a town in which the Coweta can-
iidate lias been exhibiting. Mr. Car
michael complained in his Talbotton
peech, on Friday night, that the report
of his Columbus speech was garbled,
One or two paragraphs of his speech de
livered in Columbus were omitted in the
report, it is true; but not for the purpose
of garbling the speech or misrepresent
ing the speaker, but because of a United
States statute prohibiting the sending
of such matter through the mails. This
fact the reporter magnanimously omitted
to mention in his report. But as the
Coweta candidate is kicking over the
nhission he has the reason for it now.
There’s nothing like “rendering a rea
son,” and we trust the Coweta candidate
is satisfied.
gent, road hands to be of e certain age, and mili
tary and special sendee In quelling mobs and
enforcing laws, is required generally of all who
are able to bear arms. All taxation must be
uniform upon the same class of subjects, and in
proportion to its value upon all property subject
to be taxed. No property ia now exempted, nor
can the legislature exempt any held or used for
prlvoto or corporate profit or Income. The man
owning but <50 worth of property can only be
taxed la proportion to its value, whilst the man
or corporation of every kind is taxed in the same
way. If any tax is levied upon the man himself
— as a poll tax—then It cannot exceed <1 and must
be levied only for educational purposes.
In making the poll tax equal the manhood of
each person Is considered, and a3 every man
stands equally before the law, so he should pay
an equal lax upon hisAianhood. But whenever
such a tax is levied it must be for the purpose of
educating the children of all who reside in the
town, city or county where it is raised.
Thus we see that there is a perfect equality .both
in Ihe enjoyment of public rights and in bearing
of public burdens. From the highest office tothe
lowest none are excluded because of poverty or
condition in lift, and upon the other hand every
man is liable to serve the state as a juror and a
soldier, and to pay the same rate Af taxatiou.
Nor are these provisions liable to a change. They
are a part of the constitution ol the state and can
only be changed by the people themselves.

LABOR UNDER THE LAW.
1'lie Rlirhts of tllr Laboring Mon Under the
Laws of fleorgla—Its Strong I'rotecting Arm Is
Thrown Around Him.
NUMntSU. i.
Ma. Editor: It has occurred to me that at
this particular juncture it would be very appro
priate as well as interesting to the public to ex-
unine and ascertain how far the constitution
and laws of Get rgia have gone in protecting the
rights of the laboring man as such. Complaint
•s made and no doubt honestly made,that whilst
capital 13 fully protected both in its accumula
tion and preservation, the laborer has been neg
lected. Hence, it is argued that being left to
lake cave of himself, he is forced to form combi
nations and organize societies for the purpose of
influencing the law-makers and compelling them
to recognize and foster his interests as well as
that of capital. I fully admit that the life, the
liberty and the happiness of man is of more
value to the state than the security of property.
Capital belongs to man and is only an incident
,o his condition. Unless he is protected in his
person and in his liberties, property is but of lit
tle value. Hence, the first duty of
•he state is to protect the person
of its citizens, and this protection should be im
partial and complete. A man’s rights must be
ascertained by looking into his couflilion in
society, and thus finding out what he needs. If
lie is a laboring man, tiieu he needs to be pro
tected in his work and in his wages. If he has
no property, or only a small amount, then he is
not greatly Interested in the lawsprotccting prop
erty or granting exemption from levy anil sale
T.i assure a man that the law exempts $1600 in
real and personal property from the reach of his
creditors, does him but little good if his entire
possessions do not amount to $100. Such a man
wants protection in his wages, either to secure
him in the payment or in the enjoyment of the
fruits of his tact. So of the mechanic—he wants a
lien upon the property he makes or repairs, and a
speedy remedy to collect what he earns. Laws
should be made not only to suit the abstra-t
rights, but to apply to each particular class. In
this way only will protection be complete.
Before going into the question as to what has
been done for the laboring man as a class, let us
first enquire whether any discrimination has
been made against him, and in favor of property,
because government is instituted for the good
of the whole, and every citizen should have
equal rights and bear equal burdens. The prom
inent rights of a citizen are the right to vote and
hold office. The constitution provides that
“every male citizen 21 years of age who has paid
his taxes and resided for a given length of time
in the state and county, shall be deemed an elec
tor,” and every elector is qualified to hold any
office or position either of honor or profit. There
is absolutely no property qualification required.
So far has this provision been extended by tbe
courts that it Is now settled in this state that the
poorest man may not only hold the highest pub
lic office, but he may be appointed executor, truS'
tee or assignee, and thus have control of any
amount of property. Insolvencyis not sufficient to
remove him from his trust or even to require him
to give bond. It must be shown also that from
his conduct or habits the fluid would not be safe
in his hands.
The principal burdens imposed upon citizens
are those of jury and road duty, military and
civil service and the payment of taxes.
In all these no distinction is made in respect
to nmnortv.
jurors are required to be upright and intelli-
