Here is a hit of information tliat may tie prolitahly ponder- 1 : The average life of tlie total abstainer is ‘>l years, while that of the drinker is only 35) , years. l>r. Kelton. of Bartow county, knows how to use invective. It may Is- said to his credit, however, that he docs not use it ex cept w hen he ims | a orat ion Now that Repooetitatives Keltou and Bimmons have diown the legislature anil their constituent, what they think of each other, it is to be hojied that they arc satis ftol. uiid tliut busineHs will he resmiied in the House. In some section;! of this country all men are equal lieforo the law only in theory. Money and influential friends not infr-i qiß'Utly cause some men to Is- superior to the law. The fact is a diagraeo to tliose chargiil with executing the law. There are signs that the hollows of ninny of tbe Republican organs in the North and tVeat need repairs. They were worked too bard while trying to manufacture political capital out of the veto of the pauper |*n •ion bill and the captured ilags episode. Col. Thomas Ochiltree, late of Texas, has talcn his red head intf) Wall street and is said to lie making “a pile o' money.” 001. Ochiltree is a striking illustration of the fai-t tliat a man who has isith cln-ek and brains is seldom in danger of ending his days in tin poor house. The BosDin |!ioe hare routed every opium joint In that city. It is not likely, however, that the Bouton police, or any other police, will Is- able In prevent the jrrivnte consump tion of opium. The evil has lioconvi almost •s gnat as tlie liquor evil, hut it npis-ars to be one with which the law cannot deal. A plain, '-ommon sense talk, brief and to tbe (Mint, is more effective in the I<eftfcda ture than the most fervent oratory. Tin* truth of thn wx, illustrated the other day wl.cn the- House was about to clef oat thn Mil to nrciUict terrapin. H<-prewrntaM vc? (lorfOV qtiic-ijy, but ikrongly, pointed out the ic .isors why the bill was a good one, and it ■a is. ed ujaoit uiin.-iimoualk I Tbe Hip Pocket Evil Twobilh- have been introduced into the I Legislature to increae. the punishment fer ca-rymg cooomilwJ One malt s 1 tbe offence a (doty, an i prt vide* that rl shall be punished by imj-m'jiUDeEt in tbe j [eriiter uary with hard iaixir for cot less ’han one nor more than five years Tbe other Ijiil anv-nifc tlie code so as to pr ri l ■ a til* of n-jt l-- that #tVA nor mope than ! el.ooo, and imprisonment in the county ja.i ' for ikS more than twelve months or in th-- I-niteptiary for not less than c>ne dot for ! more than four years. 111'- punishment yprovided by eitie-r bill is j quit.- severe, and if eitii-r bill idiould beame ala w and the law should be enforced the couoealed weapon evil would quickly di af>l>ear. Indeed it is jwoboble that if the existing law were enforced it would be found sufficient. There is no objeetkm to either (A the pending biil*. however I jet the hipdss-tct offense ice made as odious as pjssible. if it is made a felony jiablic s-utimrat will become so strong against it that no man who maie-s any pre tentions to respec-lability will constantly keep conooaledrfxmt his persfm a little gun or a dirk knife. The trouble is that while every rigbt thiriklng jr-i-son ne-ognizes the fact that tbc iwrryiugof oc?ns,-iled w.-ap-uik is a great evil, f-w have the'-ourage to openly con demn the practice Ev erybody admit* that the. law prohibiting the practice is a good one and should be enforced, but not one man in a thousand will help to enforce it. The great majority of men will help to arrest a thief or a home; burner, but they will not even give information w hich might lead to the arrest of one who violates the law of i carrying concealed w-sipon*. The reason i that jiubiie aesttitncvit condetniK the thief and bopse burner, but it tolerates th<- of fendvr who Iqgs concealed doacily weap-n* a!--ut with him. and yet tire dcjaiiv weap- c off under t dangwvn* to society. W lthiu • few day* two prominent m-n of this State have been made the victims of tb*- practice of carrying cxmcualod weapons, and. strangi.- a* it may seem, those who --ar riel tlie deadly weajiom and uses! them were municipal officials. One of tbe vic tims '*m Mr Horn, of Atlanta, and the man who shot him is a councilman of one of the small towns of the State The Coroner's jury returned a verdict of "a-v-idental kill ing.” That was a rather remarkable ver dict. It is true that the shot that killed Mr. Horn tvas not fired at him. but there are two reasons why the firing of it was not excusable. One is that the antagonist of the mao who fired tlie shot was not a-nnsd. and tb-- other is that the carrying of a concealed weapon is a violation of the law. The public sentiment which permits human life to be held cheaply will hinder tbe law against carry ing concealed weapon* from being enforced, oven though the offense is made a felony. Wfiat is needed is a healthier public senti ment with respect to tbe taking of human life. When those who take human life without justifiable cause are made to pay the penalty of their crime it will not be a diftl ult matter to enforce tbe law against carrying concealed weapons. Indeed, there will not 1* much mod of such a law, be cause tbe practice of carrying deadly weapons will virtually cease. Virginia Democrats Inconsistent. Democratic convention* which jiass reso lutions approving President Cleveland's ad ministration, and then adopt a platform hos tile to the settled policy of his administra tion are rather inconsistent to say the least of it. TJie Virginia Democrats unanimously said that Mr. Cleveland’s administration was wise, conservative, honest and f.-arh-w, and then declared in favor of getting rid of the surplus in the Treasury by abolishing tlie internal revenue taxes, and not by re ducing the duties on imports. The President is in favor of retaining the tax on whisky and of reducing the tariff, and ha* said so in his messages to Congren. How, then, can the Virginia Democrats say, itliout any reservation whatever, that liis administration is wiser If they believe that it is wise in every respeet they cannot Ik ii-ve that the tax on whisky ought to l*- re j x-ak-d bef'iri; the taxes on the ncvessarii** of life are reduced, ami if they favor repeal ing the whisky tax In-fore reducing the tariff they cannot sincerely approve his tariff policy. It is a mistake to attempt to mislead the people because the attempt is pretty cer tain to is- a failure, and, Is-sides, it tend* to destroy confidence in tiie jiarty leader*. If the Democrats of any Htati- do not approve of tie- administration's tariff jiolicy, or its civil servic.- |K)licy, they ought not to give tlieir unqualified approval to the admin is tration. The Democratic platform rrs-ently adojitoil in-Ohio is in harmony with the ad ministration and the National Democratic jiarty. It is also consistent, liecause it not only commends Mr. Cleveland’s adminis tration, but it also approves its position on all (he great issues before the country. The Virginia Democrat* would have shown wisdom by following the example of the Ohio Democrats. Dan Talmage'* Sons are iv|xu-bsl in the New York Tribune a< saying that reports of the destruction of the riiv eiop on the Savannah river an* probably exaggerated, an<l sent out or encouragisl by sjas-u --latoi-s who have a quantity of old rice on their hand*. Dan Talmage's Son* si-em b> lx- anxious to ills crwlit the rejXMt* of tlie losses which lh<- rice planters will suffer. Instead of the reports being exaggerated the chances are that the losses will lie greater tliau have Iss-ii reportotl. The Stale Republican Committee of Vir ginia soenis to have but one object in view, that being the return of Mahone to the United States Senate. Everything else will lie subordinated to this object, to secure which desperate efforts will lx- made to gain control of the Legislature. The Demo crats arc not likely, however, to permit Malione to !• ratunieil to the Senate. They are hard at work and arc confident of giving the Republicans an overwhelming defeat. The Boston Adncrtitcr alludes to Col. W. C. Glenn, the author of the bill against the coeducation of the races in Georgia, as “Col. Glum.” Its reason for so alluding to him is the fact that a poem from his |x-n entitled "Rest" is decidedly gloomy. If the jidvnrtiner could behold Col. Glenn in the niidat of one of bis fiery orations before tlie lower ar-uw o t Uit (jenerati Assembly it w .-uki ea'-'Mj deride that he-Ls anything but gluqi. ■■ Stay- at the women at Sarutoga during tin- presoot kenaun rlnuig* the colorrd rib b>m about t heir pug dogs’ necks twice a day- These oro the women who tiuuk ohil dreu a nuisance. THE MORNING NEWS: FRIDAY. AUGUST 12. 18R7. A Remarkable Statemer*- Ttiat was a r*ditrkLle Meamt mad a day or two ago Vv a Justice of tbe Peace u a rejxrterof tlie M -fexixt. Nrwa. He said that the pri-vaience of crime in Savan nah we* to son-- ertesit due V< the fart that Justices were not paid to run down crimi nal * H-- aiso said tlia* ttx- Jaat/O-s knew o f tin ve* in rh* city lialde to fiuniKhment. of gambling b.ux—- runnmg in full l.iast. and of other criminal* an i offenses. C- ertinu mg, be soi-] that there was always more or less danger of bodily harm to an officer wV| -, att- mpted to arrest criminal*, and that no officer would take tbe risk of making tbe attempt when be knew lie would not get a cent for it. He concluded hi* astcxii-gung statement by saving that if tbe county would make some provisos for paying tbe Juatioes be would guarantee that in six month* tbe citizens of Savannah would 1* perfectly safe in going to sleep with every door aivi window in their bfu*e* wide open. The !aw under which Justices of the Peace are elected or apfA'inte*! provide* for their compensation. It also clearly defines their duties. When they take the oath of office they pledge thernxe’ve* to faithfully execute trie trust committed to them, and there U no reservation because of possible dissatisfaction with the compensation they are to rtxxdve. Justme* of the Pea'-e have juri-diction as conservators an'l preaervers of the public jx-aee They are required to issue warrant* for the aiqirebension of any jersons charged on oath with violating any section of the jx-nai code, or who are officially known to t horn a* criminals. Th'-ir jurisdiction over crimes and criminals extends throughout their fvmiitie*. If it tx- true that there are Justices in Sr vannab who know of thieves, gamblers and others engaged in vhdating the laws, and yet do not have them apprehended, they foil to discharge their duty and. therefore, violate their oath. They are not excusable because tbe the county makes no sjecia] provision for paying tb-m. It i* their plain duty to have wueh [x-rsons apjiretiended. Fror.-i the interview in question it would apjiear that there are Justice* in Kavannab who regard their offices merely a* the mean* of making money. In effect their position is this; We know where a thief who de serve* punishment may tie found. Although it is our duty a* officers of the law to aiipre tecid him in order that he may be properly dealt with, yet, because we may not obtain the fees we think we should have, we will not direct his arrest. It i* difficult to believe that there are any such Justices in Savannah, but tbe statement made to the reporter of the Morxixo News warrants a thorough imjuiry by the next grand jury into the way the Justices offices are managed. Open the Streets The value of the property is increasing in that portion of the city between Anderson street and the land purchased by the city from the Dillon etate. For some rea*on or other, however, tlie city authorities have done very little toward opening the street* through this jortion. It is true that the weather has Ixx-n -uch during the greater part of this summer that there has been very little disjosition on the part of any body to make any more exertion than was absolutely necessary, but it is apparent that plan* for the winter’s work ought to be de cided ujsiu. Several property holders, in conferences with the committee which has charge of the work of lav ing out the new addition, have displayed a very litx-ral spirit. Indeed, they •■ould hardly be experted to make greater concessions than those they have expressed a willingness to make. Perhaps the committee is waiting for other property holders to come forward! with offers of similar concessions. Unless human nature is different in this cit y from what it is elsewhere the committee is simply losing valuable time. If it expects toai complish anything in the way of completing their work of oix-ning the streets, so that building may begin in go**l earnest in the a 1 lition early in the fall, they should at once make an earnest effort to reconcile all interests. There is no difficulty in the way of get ting the lan<l for the streets that cannot be easily oveieome. The city has land of its own. which will lie readily accepted for land that is needed for streets. Let the working members of the Council, those who stay here through the summer, take hold of this matter with energy and <’.e' —mination, aid settle it lx-fore fall begins Th'-re ir no r< a son why inifKirtiuit public interests shouhl con-.e to a standstill liecause a few members of tlie Council are watching the festive maidens in their natty bathing suit at Northern seaside places of pleasure, or sam pling mint juleps at mountain resort*. The Groat Railway Accident. Our dispatches this morning eontain the details of the most horrible and disastrous railway accident that ever occurred, jx-r haps, in this or any other country. The number of the dead is over 100 and of the injured over too. An excursion train, car rying nearly 1,000 passengers, rushing along a! tlie rate of a mile a minute, ran upon n huming bridge and, in a moment, was dashed to destruction with its load of living freight. In our dispatches an effort is made to give some idea of the horrors of the scene, hut they so far sur|jassed any thing of the kind ever witnessed or imagined that no |xn could do justice to them. The accident occurred oa the Toledo, Peoria nn<l Western railway, tlins- miles from Chat worth, in Illinoix.' Thcfe have lx*en many railway accidents within the last few years in which many were kill.*! and wounded, and in which there were sick oiling and heartrending scones, tut this one in Illinois surpasses all of them. It ha* flllixl many homes with mourning and ninny hearts with sorrow. Tho Legislature of Kentucky is safely Democratic. There are seven Republicans in the Senate, all the other im-fAbers being Democrats. In the House there are twenty six Repulilcans, two niemlx-r of the Labor Union, ono Prohibitionist and seventy iH-nnx-nit*. The Republicans will have to give up the hope of having a ni- inlx-r of their |irty represent Kentucky in the United States Senate.

An Old-Time Southern Orator. Ben: Parley Pome in t)ve Boston Budget. William C*. Preston, of South Carolina, was the most finished orator that I have ever heard. Feeble in frame, and suffering under an affec tion of his lungs, his voice, weak at first, would gradually become stronger as be proceeded, ano rawing with tis subject from one lairs: of elo quence to another, still higher and higher, he enchained and fascinated kis vast audumoes by his plowing and fervid eloquence. I remember on one occasion, when he was called on to speak at a Whig convention. be was at first almost mmww, except to those immedi ately around him Someone. eager to catch his glowing wort*, then inconsiderately asked him to raise liia voice allttie higher: then the mighty spirit of oratory burst the shackles which re strained it as he exclaimed. “Would to God my voice could be heard to tbs uttermost confines of the Republic: it is nay voice, my friends, not my heart, that fails me." Torrents of the noblest eloquence flowed from his Inspired tongue. Watched with the moot anxious so lie ituoe by hi l * a- trative auditory, they several times begged him to forbear. “One word more,** and th*- light ning flash es of his genius but pre ceeded the thundering of his eloquence: would space permit, I would despair of conveying an idea of this soul-stirring t riumph of mind over matter. He concluded by an appeal hi heaven for the preservation of the American Union. Like Her Elders. From the Bast on Transcript. A story of the rising generation: In one*of the suburban towns there is a young lady—quite a young lady she is. too— whose somewhat boyish aspect and innocently masculine tastes have won for her the soubriquet of Tommy. Not long ago >be gave a little party to the children of the neighborhood. and in pre paring for the event her mother, in order to get at an idea of the sort of young people her daugh ter would like to have attend, told her to pre pare a list of those she wished to invite. Tommy went to work with ze*=t and in a short time finished a pretty long list. “There, mamma.' 4 said she. with an air of conclusiveness, “there's every single one that I want to come.'' Her mother took the document and read it with an astonishment winch increased as her eye approached the end of the list. Tommy had only one girl s name on the whole list “Why. Tommy." her mother exclaimed, “do you want none but boys to come to your party what are you thinking off" “Well, mamma.” said Tommy, “you know girls aren't any fun ’** “But w ould your boys have any fun if there weren't any girls?" “Weren't anv girls? Why there'll be Kitty Bickerstaff and me, and that ought to be girls enough!" Her mother, however, insisted upon the nomi nation of a full quota of pins: but in order to it she bad to niak*- inquiries herself. Tommy's information was deficient. Mickey Free’s Explanation.
