Free. it Ido THE RAILROAD COMMISSION LAW Savannah News. One of the most important meas ures that the Legislature, at its ses sion this month, xvill have to consid er that xvLich provide for certain modifications of the railroad commis sion law. The report which the Legislative committee xvill make, relative to the condition of the business of various railroads of the state, xvill have, doubtless, very great influence in determining the extent to which the railroad commission laxv shall he J modified, provided it recommends an) - modification at all. We assume, of course, that the re port, coming as it xvili, from some of the ablest members ot the Legisla i ture. who were selected because of j the confidence in their integrity and judgment, will be accepted as con j taining the facts, respecting the con dition of the railroads and their busi ness prospects, as near as they can he obtained. The Legislature at its last session hesitated, doubtless, to act because of its inability to get satisfactory in formation about the roads. The statements of tlie railroad mana gers and the railroad Commis sion were contradictory. Under the circumstances it was impossible tor the legislature to do otherwise than to appoint a committee of its own members to make a thorough investigation of everything that the legislature ought to know pertaining to the roads. The report no doubt will be full and complete. No part of it, prob ably, will be made public before it is presented to the legislature. If it alleges that the statements which have been published by the commis sion relative to the .affairs of the railroads strictly in accordance with the facts there will he no attempt, of course, to modify the railroad com mission law. If, however, the re port sustains the claims made by the railroad managers, it is only reason able to suppose that the law will he at once so changed as to give the railroads the relief the}’arc demand ing. There are two things that mem bers of the legislrture ought to keep clearly in mind. One is that there is no purpose to abolish the railroad commission, and the other is that those of the people of Georgia xvho are anxious to sec the state prosper do not want to see the railroads of the state ruined. While they want the people, xvho have dealings xvith Hie railroads, to he treated fairly, they are willing that the railroads shall have an opportunity to make a f.iir profit on their investments. It is expected that the report of t Be leg islative committee will slum' wheth er the people are being seated fairix : and xvhether the railroads are given a chance to prosper There is no oecßon for argument to show that railroads develop a country. have done much to make (Georgia what she is, and thex’ xv’i’f do much more. A great deal ■>('the railroad property of the sta-e is owned by Georgians, and a eery large part of it represent North ern' capital. It is safe to predict, perhaps, that while the railroad com mission is clothed with its present extraordinary powers neither Geor gians nor Northern Capitalists will put much money into new railroads in Georgia. The receipts of the _ lr o. i i; * l.,'ili,„x.l kavo filllcil | off largely, and its stock has suffered la marked decline. The reason*is said to he the remarkable rulings of the railroad commission. There is no reason why the rail roads which have done so much to make the state rich and great should now be dealt xvith as if they xvere a public enemy. If the report of the legislative committee shows that they are oppressed and are suffering from wrongs which can be remedied, it is expected that the legislature xvill not be slow in providing such remedies as appear to be necessary, Morsels of Knowledge.

The Outlook for Business in the South. The outlook for business in the south this fall is remarably goal, ! despite the general trade and indu;- triai depression throughout the coun try Even if there is no decided itto provement in business this fall else where, the south at least will, oxn think, be more prosperous than several years, provided, of coum, that no disaster befalls the growing crops, which at present give prom is. of xx’ondcrfully good yields, ft is everywhere admitted that the condi tion of the cotton crop has rarefy ever been better than it now is, and that unless it is seriously damaged’; the yield will not be less than 7,500,* ; 000 bales, and possibly considerably ! more. This, its ex r ery one xvill under-g stand, cannot be counted upon as 3 certainty, but so far advanced is the plant, and so excellent its conditions that a large yield is a reasonable ex pectation. The stock of cotton in,- in xvorld's markets is greatly redue-, ed, as compared xvith last year, and hence a very large crop may not', unduly depress prices. Moreover, ail the crop has been produced at al much lower cost than in former'! years, planters can better afford to sell at a smaller price than in other seasons. There is no doubt but that a cotton crop of 7,500,000 bales or over, xvould vastly stimulate trade and industrial interests in the south, and would largely assist in in-i creasing the prosperity ot ali South ern railroad and steamship lines. In addition to the fine cotton pros pects, there are good indications of an unusually big corn crop. The acreage in corn is large, and the condition of the growing plant re* markahly good. In fact, the sou f ( is now promised of corn, as ofeotte’ the largest crop ever product an d.( With abundant yields of these ♦ vo crops, the leading staples produ ed in the south, a year of great aeti’ ty in business may be counted it on with reasonable certainty. St* :ks of goods generally are very lo\x r , ti mers have for two years economi ed and put off'the purchase.of agr ;i --tural implements, the improve® ant. of their dwellings, and the part l*' of household goods, and hem L their crops are large, they w*' ’* liberal buyers, and as merelv* r, t s arc carrying light stocks tK v would have to replenish their -applies very early in the fall. Manufacturers have ax’oided the outlay of money for new machinery, whenever prac ticable, and they, too, under the stimulus of big crops nd better Bus iness, xvould be deposed to purchase more new an*-’ improved machinery. [,, ;},-organization of now industri af enterprises, there is even now a very decided difference in favor of this year, as compared xvith the same ti m e 1 ast yea r. During J nnoJ u 1 y and August, 1884, there xvas a great dearth ot nexv enterprises in the south, hut June, 1885, xvas a x*ery .active month, and the number ot new manufacturing and mining in dustries organized xvas very large, while July starts out well, and every indication points to considera ble activity in nexv enterprises dur ing July and August. The outlook for prosperous times in the south this fall is, taking all things into con sideration, x’ery satisfactory. INDIAN WRONGS. The Condition of Affairs as to Lands Ex posed. Gen. Edward M. McCook, cx Governor ot Colorado, has written a letter to Secretary Lamar, in which, after quoting from the Revised Statutes to shoxv that only the Uni ted States can make any contract with the Indians for the lease of their lands, he gives the names of nine persons or corporations who control nearly 10,000,000 acres of land in the Indian Territory, for which the rental is but one and txvo thirds cents per acre. He says these leases are clearly illegal and should not be permitted the countenance of an Administration pledged to set its face against corruption, collusion and wrong, but that the lessees should be immediately dispossessed, notwithstanding the fact that the leases had the tacit recognizance of the Department of the Interior under a former Administration. He con cludes as follow's: “The actual facts noxv are that, in stead of the Indians possessing and enjoying the benefits designed for them, their country is overrun xvith spectators and adventurers of every degree, xvho have despoiled them of their property and practically se questered their birthrights, destroy ing their opportunities of self sup port. and leaving them nothing for the future, xvhile keeping them de pendent for the present. These men, who, for the last three years, have enjoyed covert protection, and have boldly insisted upon official recogni tion of their claims, are in many in stances foreigners, xvho owe no alii eganee to this Government, and in all cases ex-ade every duty and obli gation xvhieh the laws impose upon American citizens.—This part of the Indian Country to xvhieh I have cttlled vour attention is a country where force reigns and rapine dwells, where unscrupulous men ask sup port of the Government and the army of the United States to protect them in violating and in ax’oiding any responsibility for their acts. These men are apparently represen tatives ot a great official and finan cial influence, and seem to have be hind them an autocratic element mysterious as it is powerful, xvhieh banishes from the fair land they now hold every American citizen who is not xvith them, or of them, as tres passers. Their representation to your department are not the prayers of the weak appealing tor protection, but the demands of the strong, who from a ripe experience, evidently be lieve that the future and the past xvill be the same.” THE EIGHTEENTH GEORGIA. To Hold a Reunion in Atlanta on the 22d of July. i Arrangements have been complet ed for a reunion of the old Eigh teenth Georgia regiment, to be had at Ponce de Leon springs on the 22nd of this month. Mr. Harry Krousc, the secretary of the surxdvors asso ciation, composed of members of this regiment has been zealously engaged for several years past in compiling a complete roll of the members of the regimont xxho are still living. The Eighteenth Georgia xvas made up of the following companies : The Gate City Guard, of Atlanta. The Nexvnan Guards. The Quitman Guards, of Forsyth. . The Dahlonegah Volunteers. The Oglethorpe Light Infantry, of Augusta. The Walker Light Infantry, ot Augusta. The Washington Rifles, ofSanders ville. The Southern liights Guards, of Perry. The Bainbridge Independents. The Southern Guards, of Colum bus. All of these companies except the two from Augusta, the Bainbridge independents and the Dahlonega ...lards have responded to Mr. Krouse’s request and sent rolls of their survivors. He hopes to secure the missing rolls at the coming re union. I The regiment xvent out into the iforvico under "Colonel J. N. Ramsey, who ilied since the war. O. A.

Since the xvar its stirx’i vors have had only txvo reunions. One was at Nexv Holland txvo years ago, and the other at Sullivan’s is land last year. Both these reunions xvere xvell attended, and proved ex ceedingly pleasant. It is expected that the meeting to be held in At lanta on the 22nd will be larger and more interesting than either of the others. The reunion xvill be held at Ponce de Leon springs, xvhere the day will he spent m a variety of entertain ments. Brief speeches, memorials, anecdotes, a grand dinner, a general mingling ot the x'etcrans xvill supply comfort and joy for the souls and bodies of all xvho come. It is sin cerely* hoped by the local committee that all survivors xvho can come to Atlanta oti the 22nd xxdll do so. It is thought that fully two hundred xvill he here. The sons of survivors and the sons of those xvho fell in the regiment are invited to be present. Don’t “Don’t” Too Much. Life for some people is one per pctual “don’t.” Our sympathies were recently enlisted for Freddie, a little felloxv of five, xvho had been kept within doors during a long s.ortn. Ilis mother, a gentle woman, sit quietly sewing, as she chatted x'ith a friend. “Don’t do that, Fred die,” she said, as the child’s whip liandle beat a light tattoo on the car pet. A block castle rose—and fell with a crash. “Don't make n noise, Freddie.” The boy turned to the .undoxv, the restless fingers making vague pictures on the damp pane. “Don’t mark the xvindow, Freddie,” interposed the mother; and “don’t ao into the hall,” she added, as he opened the door to escape. The “don’ts” continued at brief interx-als. At length the small one, seating himself with a pathetically 7 resigned air, remained perfectly still for about a minute. Then, xvith a long-drawn sigh, he asked: “Mama, is there any thing I can do?” There is no surer wa}* to check confidential intercourse between pa rent and child, and to retard the de velopment of his best faculties, than to create an atmosphere of blame about him. He will grow unhappy and discouraged, if not disobedient and reckless. Far better let some childish wrong-doings pass unre proved, than to make your boy feel that he never quite pleases you. Wise commendation will not foster vanity or self-consciousness. A lov ing word, an appreciative smile, any sympathetic recognition of real ef fort is generally more helpful than many reproofs for failures. Cheek ex’ll propensities by developing good ones, rather than by waging a fierce, direct xvar of extermination. The result of such training may not be soon apparent, but in tbe end your child’s character xvill be broader and stronger. Wait for the moral nature to groxv, and be patient, as God is patient xvith His children.— Vermont Baptist. The Spontaneous Combustion of Hay. Chico Chronicle. A recent discovery made by one of our farmers may furnish a clue to many of the supposed incendiary fires that consumes barns throughout the country. While removing hay from his barn he was amazed to dis cox-er a large spot xvhere the straxv xvas thoroughly charred, showing that a fire had been started and be come smothered for lack of air. The fact that the burned spot xvas loca ted in the midst of the hay precluded the idea that it had been kindled by human agency. Spontaneous combustion was the only tenable theory and it is supposed to have been caused by placing new hay upon the crop of the previous year. The United States oxvns $43,000,- 000,000 xvorth ol property. THE MORMANS MAD. The conduct of the Mormons at Salt Lake City on July 4 with re spect to the American flag, and the tone of their journals since that time in defending their conduct on that occasion, indicate that they arc beginning to see that it will be use less for them to continue the fight tor polygamy. They are mad, and hence are acting foolishly. If they felt that they could defeat the efforts that are now being made to punish polygamists, as they have defeated other efforts for years, they would not pursue the suicidal course which they began on July 4. The Edmunds law has been en forced much more vigorously since the democratic party came into poxver than ever before, and the conviction of a number of polyga mists lately has struck terror into the hearts of the Morman leaders. Ever since the interview which the Mormon delegation had with the President tne Mormons have realized that they have no reason to hope for leniency from this administration. The polygamists ought to be shown no favors. They have out raged the laws of the land and of decency long enough. President Cleveland’s administration xvill take its place in history as one of the great administrations if it shall suc ceed in destroying polygamy. That the Mormons realize that a crisis in their affairs has been reached there can be but little doubt. It is said that in very many instances the polygamists hax-e sent their polygamous wives away to distant parts of the territory under assumed names in order to avoid being pros ecuted. They have a pretty clear idea of their danger. H’L in ftnotLor tlial in significant and is attracting atten tion. It is that Joseph Smith, a son of the founder of Mormonism, is preaching in Salt Lake city to large congregations. He does not, as is well knoxv, belie\ r e in polygamy, and his father did not behex*c in it. Polygamy was introduced by Brig ham Young, and the polygamists are known as Brigamites, while the Mor mons who do not believe polygamy are known as Josephites. At one time there xvere a dozen sects among the Mormons. Noxv there are only these two. It is alleged by Joseph Smith that the Mormons of the Brigamite sect hax-e not increased within the last four years, xvhile the Josephites have multiplied rapidly and have grown prosperous. It is hardly probably that the ill feeling at Salt Lake, between the Gentiles and Mormons, on account of the flag incident xvill show itself in anything more than threats, but if there should be a resort to arms it is pretty certain that the government would utilize the opportunity to make it clear to the Mormons that polygamy in Utah has had its day. Kiss Mother. A father talking to his careless daughter, said: “I want to speak to you of your mother. It may be that you have noticed a careworn look upon her face lately it has not been brought there by any act of yours, still it is your duty to chase it away. I want you to get up to-morrow morning and get breakfast, and when your mother begins to express her surprise go right up and kiss her on the mouth. You cant imagine how it will brighten up her dear face. Be sides, you owe her a kiss or two. Away back when you were little, she kissed you, when no one else was tempted by your fever-tainted breath and swolen face. You were not so attractive then as now. And through those childish years of sun shine and shadows, she was always ready to cure by the magic of a mother’s kiss, the tittle dirty, chub by hands whenever they were injur ed in their first skirmishes with this rough, cold world. And then the midnight kisses with which they routed so many bad dreams as she leaned over your restless pillow, have all been on interest these long years. Of course she is not so pret ty and kissable as you are, but if you had done your share of the work during the past ten years, the con trast would not be so marked. Her face has more wrinkles than yours— tar more—and yet if } r ou were sick that face would appear more beauti ful than any angel’s as it hovered over you, watching every opportuni ty to minister to your comfort; and every one of those wrinkles would appear as bright wavelets of sun shine chasing each other over her dear face. She will leave you some one of these days. These burdens, if not lifted from her shoulders, will break her down. Those rough, hard hands that did so many unnec essary things for you, will be cross ed upon her lifeless breast. Those neglected lips that gave you your first baby kiss, will be closed forever, and those tired eyes will have open ed in eternity, and then you will appreciate your mother; but it will be too late.”—Ex.

NUMBER 25. The Planets in July. Providence Journal. July is one of the finest months of the year for the study of the stars. Venus is evening star, coming to the front once more, and winning her legitimate place at the head of the planetary roll. Venus sot on the Ist about a quar ter after 8 o’clock in the evening; on the 31st she sets about 8 o'clock. Mercury is evening star, his course lying ner that of Venus during the month. Mercury set on the Ist soon after half past 7 o'clock in the cx*ening; on the 31st he sets about 8 o’clock? Jupiter is evening star, and di vides the honors of the July even ing sky with Venus. Jupiter set ou the Ist soon after 10 o clock in the morning; on the 31st he sets at twenty-one minutes after 8 o’clock. Uranus is evening star, no has completed his passago sex*en years through the constellation Leo, and has entered the constelation Virgo. Neptune is morning star, and leads the trio of planets that precede the sun and shine as morning stars. Saturn is morning star. Before the month closes he will be a con spicuous object, rising a few minutes before 2 o’clock. Mars is morning star. There are no changes during the month in |the classification of the planets as morn ing and evening stars. Venus, Mer cury, Jupiter and Uranus are on the east side of the sun, and shine as evening stars. Saturn, Mars and Neptume are on the west side of the sun, and play their parts as morning stars.
