I The F.sqcinfeu'Si's tliin morning puli-
\ li- lies several articles concerning the
OolumbuH aini Southern railroad, taken
! from newspapers printed in it section
j where this road would lie greatly appro*
; dated. We gather from these articles
that the people of southwest Georgia and
in the several Florida communities
through which tin; road would pass, if
built in that direction, arc anxious for its
construction, and are disposed to do what

Tub trouble with Lord Chief Justice
'Coleridge seems to he Unit lie doesn’t
sleep and eat with his judicial wig on.
Action and speech—off the bench—can
not always be in full keeping with pro
fessional caution, or even paternal re
serve. Actions for slander, brought by
daughters against fathers, are happily
rare among common men.
Auout this time Mr. Blaine is wishing
he had taken Mr. Edmunds by tlie hand,
even if he gavo It a deadly squeeze. If
true as reported, or anything like, he
made a wretched exhibition of impotent
spleen in the house of the dead presi
dent. In fact he ought not to have gone
there at ail unless in a penitential spirit
and tolerant frame of mind.
Alderman McQi'adb may enjoy the
respite afforded by tire disagreement of
the jury that first tried him, but if he
believes in the doctrine that history re
peats itself, his satisfaction will not last
long. The first jury in the Tweed ease
disagreed, but the second trial resulted
in a conviction that brought a sentence
of twelve years’ imprisonment, and he
ultimately, died in Ludlow street jail.
Virginia was lost to the democrats at
the November election because more
than 50,000 of them kept away from the
polls. Was this because they were sure
their party would get through without
them, or becuuse they are dissatisfied at
not enjoying us much “spoils” as they
think should have come to the victors of
1884? There is a nice question for con
sideration there.
A sad case recently occurred in Ches
ter, England, where a festive merchant
traveler in Irving to kiss a pretty maid
fell over a wash-tub and scratched his
hand. In time inflammation set in and
the young man died. After all this, the
Accident Insuviinec Company was mean
enough to set up successfully in defense
to an action on the policy that notice of
the "scratch” had not been served upon
it within the required seven days. The
moral of this is that the guy drummer I
should not try t < kiss the pretty maids I
at the hotels, or if he does and gets I
scratched, he should serve notice at once !
on his insurance companies.
In an able argument against the su
preme eouit decision that federal citizen
ship does not entitle women to vote,
lion. Francis Minor,of St. Louis, reminds
the readers of one of the December mag-
mines that women voted in New Jersey
until 1807 without challenge, and in
stances the ease of the late Mrs. Cain-
hack, who voted in the presidential elec
tion of 1800. This lady, the mother of
Hon. Win. K. Cumback, of Indiana, died
only a few years ago, ar.d authorities are
cited to show that in the contest between
Jefferson and Adams site was only one
of the many women voters in New Jer
sey. It does not appear whether New
Jersey was considered then, as now—a
foreign slule.
Tiik president’s position brifiy stated
is tliis: When a mill), republican or
democrat, becomes a part of the business
organization of any administration lie is
bound by every obligation of honor to
assist within bis sphere in its successful
operation. This obligation involves not
only the proper performance of ollicial
duty, but good faith and fidelity, which
forbid active participation in partisan
demonstrations conducted on the theory
that the administration of the govern
ment is not entitled to tlio confidence
and respect of the people. In other
words, the administration of the govern
ment or of any department of the gov
ernment is not to he trusted to those who
aggressively and constantly endeavor to
destroy the confidence of the people in
tlie party responsible for such adminis
tration. To govern successfully the sub
ordinates must be thoroughly loyal to
the administration in power. The presi
dent believes that the people of this
country will not require that tlie best re
sults of administrative endeavor shall be
reached with agencies disloyal to tlie ad-
fninistration.
seems to be true at Cuthbert, Bainbridge,
Tallahassee and all intermediate sections.
It is quite true that this route to
Florida has much in it to commend it to
those contemplating building a railroad.
Florida is a country of wonderful de
velopment. Only yesterday we read the
statement that "the people' down there
ship out everything they raise, and have
to import everything they use. All Flori
dians leave Florida in the summer, and
the rest of the world comes to Florida in
the winter, so that the railroads keep
busy all tlie time.” Of course this is
smartly overdrawn, yet it carries with it
significance. The territory is wortli the
seeking, and tlie assertion that those
who win it must try conclusions with
Mr. Plant, may pass for wluit
it is worth. But notwithstanding the
fact that this is one of tlie most in iting
fields in all the country for railroad de
velopment, it remains for tho people
along the line of this contemplated road
to determine whether or not it will be
constructed.
We violate no confidence by saying
that we are in a position to know that
the Columbus and Southern, tlie name
by which tlie road will he called, will be
built. Whether it will reach the sea
board via Albany, or whether it will go
by the way of Cuthbert, Bainbridge and
on into Florida at Tallahassee, future
developments must determine. The
man at the head of tliis enterprise will
not scheme to get bids for the
location. Nor will those who sit quietly
by and rest themselves in the contempla
tion that they will have a road built for
them without any exertion on their part
have their hopes realized. This was
demonstrated in the Georgia Midland.
Atlanta felt safe in the confidence that
the road would be built to Atlanta, and
that tho promise to Griffin was but a
bluff and used as a purchase with which
to prize Atlanta. But Gunby Jordan is
not that kind of a man, and when the
people of Griffin had complied with the
demands made upon them, all the money
in Georgia could not have influenced
him to violate his promises.
That the people of Columbus will fully
do all that can reasonably be required of
them there is every reason to believe.
One gentleman, and he is not a capital
ist, said to us yesterday that he had such
faith in the enterprise that he was ready
to start a subscription with $10,000 at
any time. All the money needed to
make the survey was raised by public
subscription, and in thirty minutes. The
citizens of Columbus know that we need
the road, and have confidence enough in
the city and in themselves to build it.
The encouragement given nil along tlie
line is reassuring, and tlie probabilities
are that something tangible will grow
out of it in a very short time.
trust imposed in him by the election, i
This is made necessary under the law. |
Twenty days after the election is allowed
the governor to count the vote and issue
a proclamation d> daring who lias been
elected. Thirty days are then given the
congressmen-elect to accept or decline
the election, and if it is not done within
that time it becomes the duty of the gov
ernor to declare a vacancy and to order
a new election. An instance of this kind
occurred in Georgia some years ago and
a new election was ordered, while the
successful candidate thought himself a
full-fledged congressman.
POl.iriCAI. POINTS.
It is claimed that the figures in nearly every
state show that tho greater part of tlie Increased
prohibition vote this year was drawn from tlie
democrats.
Congress is soon to assemble, but people arc
not excited about it. Things would move along
just as well if the meeting of congress was a year
oil' instead of two week*,
Ex-Gov< rnor C. It. Davis, prominently men
tioned for United States senator from Minnesota
before the next legislature, lias lost tlie right of
his left eye, and it is feared total blindness may
ensue.
Tlie Topeka Common wealth promises that
within the next four mouths tlie Leavenwor li
saloons and tlie Topeka drug stores shall alike
be made to feel tlie weight of the law they are
defying.
Unless the offensive partisanship of the demo
crats of the western district of Missouri is
checked pretty soon they will he throwing up
their hats with a hurrah for Cleveland. They
have detected "tlie ring of true democracy” in
the Stone letter.
Tho mugwumps are encouraging Judge Gres
ham to become a presidential candidate, with a
great, white soul as his stock in trade. But tlie
republicans don’t care for great, white souls.
They want Blaine, and they are going to have
him.
President Cleveland is quite right when lie
says that any man holding office under the ad
ministration who makes political speeches abus
ing the administration is unworthy of its confi
dence and should go. The man who feels that
the conduct of liis official superior iB Buch as
must be denounced should be considered as filing
his own notice to quit.

It is quite frequently the ouse humor will
creep out in elections, us well ns in other
tliintfs. The fourtli congressional dis
trict is not an exception in tliis respect.
One of the most humorous candidates of
nil those competing for congressional
honors in the state of Georgia was de
veloped in the candidacy of lion. Jas. V.
Cannic ael, of Coweta county. His
humor was by no means checkered or
hampered by liis defeat, and ho again
“hobs up as serenely” as though lie knew
nothing of reverses in elections. One of
the humors of the late congressional elec
tion is the fact that he has notified Hon.
Thomas W. tirimes that he will contest
the election. In a very lengthy and
elaborate lotter to the congressman-elect
from this district, Mr. Carmichael sots
forth that lie will contest on tlie ground,
briefly stated:
First—That the tickets for the con
gressman-elect were in one or two coun
ties improperly printed.
Second—That the elections in some of
the counties were not held as the law
provides.
Third—That many voters in the dis
trict were told that none but democrats
would he allowed to vote.
lie also states that there are other
reasons which persuade him to believe
that the congressman-elect was not fairly
elected, and upon those various grounds,
he proposes to enter a contest.
The humor of the above is made all
the more apparent when it is remem
bered that Mr. Grimes received 315 votes
more in Muscogee county alone than Mr.
Carmichael received in the entire dis
trict. Muscogee is not included in the
list of counties that Mr. Carmichael al
leges tickets were not properly printed,
or among which elections were held in
a manner not according to the provisions
of law. Mr. Grimes’ vote in the district
was "JlOfi, while Mr. Carmichael only re
ceived 330. Only one congressman elect
ed in tlie state received a higher vote,
that being in tlie seventh, where Mr.
Clements’ vote was 5043, though his vote
over 1 >r. Felton was not as large as that
of Mr. Grimes over Mr. Carmichael.
Speaking of tho congressional election,
Mr. Grimes ou yesterday notified Gov
ernor Gordon of his acceptance of the

since I commenced using the Cuticura Reme
