THE CHIEF JUSTICE’S SPEECH.
After the preliminaries attending the
opening of the meeting Judge Bleckley
delivered his annual address, concluding
as follows:
‘‘Gentlemen of the Association—The
year of my presidency lias been dis
tinguished and rendered memorable by
♦be birth of a son, whom I have already
dedicated to the law. Thus, mindful of the
advice of Lord Bacon, I have done some
thing for the profession. I may
oe pardoned for contrasting my better
fortune with that of my illustrious rival,
President Cleveland, whose official off
spring is not of his own professional gen
der Considering our relative ages, it
seems noteworthy that the president of
the Georgia Bar Association has accom
plished more in one term than the Presi
dent of the United States has
accomplished in two. Desiring, how
ever, not to be ungenerous in my
triumph, I frankly say that my
paternal administration has not been ag
itated nor disturbed by the tariff, or sil
ver, or the Senate, or Dole, or any unfor
tunate queen, or by my unsteady footing
on the platform, or the unsteady footing
thereon of other people, or by any strenu
ous effort to lead or guide the democracy,
content the people, protect the mails,
keep interstate commerce in motion and
govern the country. That cares and vex
ations like these might lead to feminine
consequences in the presidential man
sion, whether at Washington or in
Atlanta, I am free to admit. And,
1 add with full sincerity, that under
all the circumstances Mr. Cleveland has
done remarks olv well. Besides, for my
own part, lam quite willing to wait on
him and see what he will do hereafter.
An executive magistrate of his magnitude
ought to have anew trial.”
After this it was nothing but natural
that the youthful Bleckley should be made
an honorary member of the Georgia Bar
Association by a rising vote. A number of
Interesting papers were read and dis
cussed, but tne important feature of the
day was the report of the committee on
jurisprudence and law reform, which
was received and accepted. The report
calls attention to the pending amendment
to increase the number of supreme court
Judges, and recommends that the conven
tion, which was unanimously for it, give
it the benefit of an indorsement. The re
port also recommended that the salary of
the chief justice be raised to $4,000, and
the associate justices to $3,500. The
cutting up of the state into
such a large number of circuits was
viewed by the committee with disfavor,
as it was doubted whether the efficiency
of the judicial administration has been
promoted by it. The number of judges
being thereby increased, was influential
in flxing small salaries, and in the opin
ion of the committee, a reduction from
twenty-three to fifteen, and the in
creasing of salaries of judges from
$2,000 to $3,000, would be a wise
reform, twenty-three judges at $2,000 sal
aries. amounting to $46,000, and fifteen at
$3,000, amounting to $45,000, thereby sav
ing SI,OOO to the state and securing, by
the increased salary, the best legal talent
in the state. A suggestion was offered
that the judges be removed as far as
possible from local influences, the sys
tem in North Carolina and other states
not assigning judges to particular
circuits, but requiring them to rotate on
the annual roster fixed by the governor,
having been found to work most satisfac
torily. This would inaugurate a reform j
in the matter of electing judges, inas- ;
much as if it were known that the judge
was to be a judge of the whole state and
assigned to a single circuit only for con
venience in motions and 'chamber
matters, the appointing powers
would use more discrimination,
bringine to the front the best
class of men and increased dignity ami
authority would be added to the office
The committee thought that of all the
methods the election of judges by the leg
islature the most objectionable, the ap
pointment by the governor, in
dorsed by the senate, being the best I
and the election by the people the i
next best method. A number of j
Important changes in the laws and in the
mode of practice are urged. The report
recommends the amendment of the law
In regard to the statement of the prisoner
in criminal trials; in case the prisoner
elect to become a witness in his own
favor, he should be subject to cross-ex
amination the same as any other witness.
The report, in stroug language, criti
cises the tendency to throw every protec
tion around the criminal or prisoner
while his victim is forgotten, and con
cludes by a section on the suhiect of
lynching. Lynching, it says, will stop
only when the people are given to under
stand that the courts have power to mete
out prompt and certain justice.
ABLE PAPERS BT ABLE MEN.
Papers on the judicial system of the
state were read by Judges Turnbull of
Rome. Sweat of Waycross. and Bower of
Bainbridge. Judge Turnbull's paper was
a criticism of the abuses of Judicial dis
cretion. while Judge Sweat devoted him
self to showing the necessity of additional
judges on the supreme bench In
discussing this, Judge Lumpkin of the
supreme court said that he was of the
opinion that there was among the Geor
gia lawyers a practical unanimity in favor
of the proposed constitutional amend
ments to add two judges to the
supreme bench, and he said that
some missionary work could be
done among the people who did
not realize the necessity for the addition
of two judges and a resolution was there
upon passed providing for a committee to j
circulate an address to the people urging
! them to vote for the proposed amendment
, to the constitution.
Hon. W. H Fleming of Augusta' made
a report on the action of the legislature in
providing for a recodification of the laws
j of the slate, and the appointment of ifon.
Clifford Anderson. Judge John L. Hop
; kins and Hon. J. R. I-amar to do this im
portant work.
One of the most interesting and instruc
tive papers of the day was read by Hon.
W. O. Glenn on the practical uses for the
study of the Roman civil law.
The association discussed the admission
of applicants to membership at the bar,
the sentiment prevailing being that the
: examination of applicants, as now con
ducted, was practically noexamination at
all.
Judge W. R Hammond favored an ex
amining board in every judicial circuit.
Col. N. J. Hammond introduced a resolu
tion, which passed, providing for a com
mittee to secure the passage of a bill to
establish a state examining board.
Mr. I-eaken of Savannah read a very
humorous paper, prepared by Mr. Chari
ton of Savannah, on federal legislation.
To-morrow's session will close the work
of the convention. To-night the bar as
sociation was banqueted at the Kimball
house by the local association.
BEFORE THE BATTLE.
Gathering of the Clans and Workers
to Prepare for the Convention.
Atlanta. Ga., July 81.—Hon. W. Y. At
kinson came up from Newnan this morn
ing and has established himself in his
headquarters at the Kimball House until
afjer the convention. He and his chief
advisers kept open house in their rooms
all day, and will be on their feet from now
on, receiving the delegations as they ar
rive. Tho fact that there will
be no contest does not seem to change the
scenes that usually take place as the
Georgia democrats gather in their state
Convention. Everything is lively, with
the prospect of one of the biggest con
ventions on record.
Among to-day's arrivals was Hon. W.
H. Fleming of Augusta, who will be a
candidate for speaker of the next House
of Representatives. As the entries now
stand Mr. Fleming will have for opponents
Hon. Mark Hodge of Rulaski, who also
came in to-day, and Hon. John T.
Boifeuillet of Bibb. The odds are on
Fleming’s success.
Judge Gober and Hon. Henry R.
Goetchins of Columbus, candidates for a
place on the supreme bench, are also on
the ground, as well as a number of other
candidates who take the opportunity to
do missionary work.
Col. W. H. Clifton of Mclntosh county,
candidate for secretary of state, has been
here since yesterday. Hon. Allan D.
Candler claims to have enough votes
pledged to give him the nomination, but
Col. Clifton disputed this with emphasis,
and confidently expects to win out when
the vote is taken in the convention. Col.
Bill Harris of Worth, secretary
of the Senate, and with the
secretaryship of the convention
pre-empted, came in to-day. Hon. James
M. Dupree of Macon county and Judge
Crovatt of Brunswick, are also on deck.
Solicitor General Brantley is also here,
with Hon. S. G. McLendon of Thomas
ville, Capt. Hamp Smith of Valdosta and
Judge Sweat of Waycross. The contest
for the temporary chairmanship assumed
a rather interesting aspect to-day.
It developed that the Atkinson dele
gates, that is. the leaders who are sup
posed to manage things, are unalterabiv
opposed to Mr. T. R. R. Cobb for that po
sition, though perfectly willing
to honor an Evans man if they
can name him. They want Judge
Boynton of Griffin, and will doubtless
elect him. If it oecomes apparent that
the Evans’ delegates will support Cobb,
leading Atkinson men here to-day, said
they would put in an Atkinson man to
defeat him, making it a clear cut fight be
tween Evans and Atkinson delegates.
This feeling was brought about largely by
some intemperate and indiscreet talk by
Evans Tnen, who have been going about
saying no ex-confederate soldier would
disgrace himself by presiding
over Bill Atkinson's convention of
court house politicians. This riled Mr.
Atkinson's leaders. They have nothing
but good feeling personally for Mr. Cobb,
but they want an old soldier like Boyn
ton, or somebody of unassailable dignity
and influence to accept the compliment to
Gen, Evans. If the Evans delegates are
not disposed to grant them this, they say
they will not take any Evans man at all.
PREPARING FOR THE BALLY.
Distinguished Gentlemen Invited to
Atlanta to Address the Throngs.
Atlanta, Ga , July 31.—Hon. Henry G.
Turner, Hon. A. O. Bacon, Hon. Louis
Garrard and Hon. James H. Blount have
been invited to make short addresses
here, at tho big democratic rally to be

vention.
Speaker Crisp to-day telegraphed that
he could not leave Washington on account
of the tariff legislation, and, therefore,
can not be present to take a part in the
big rally.

THE MORNING NEWS: WEDNESDAY. AUGUST 1, 1894
WILL HAVE TO GET IP EARLY
Star-Gazers Will Have to Turn Out
Early to See the Sights.
The August Heavens Filled With
Beauty Just Before Daybreak—The
Late Out May Catch a Glimpse of
Them if He Is Sober, but the Level-
Headed Chap Will Get the Best
Show.
The evening skies during this month
are crowded with objects of interest
among the fixed stars, but the observer
must rise before the dawn if he would
catch the beauties of the larger planets.
Mercury will attain its greatest western
elongation on the Sth, at which time the
planet may be seen at daybreak strug
gling through the dense atmosphere of
the eastern horizon. Its position will not
be favorable, however, for observation
this month.
The early riser will observe two very
hright stars well up in the east at day
break, and close enough together to form
a most conspicuous and beautiful pair.
The lower one is Venus, and the upjier
one is Jupiter. Venus is now approach
ing its superior conjunction, and hence
rapidly receding from us.
MARS.
Mars is morning star also, and it may
be seen on the meridian about 4:30
o'clock. It shines with a ruddy light by
which it may be easily distinguished. It
is getting into a more favorable position
for observation every day, and in October
we will be able to see it when nearest to
us.
JUPITER.
This gigantic world is morning star,
and may be seen very near Venus shining
with a dazzing white light. This pianet,
whenever visible, is very interesting. A
small telescope will easily reveal its
moons and bells, although its distance at
this time places it at some disadvantage.
SATURN.
In the southwest at dark two bright
stars may be seen midway to the zenith.
The more westerly one is Saturn and the
other Spica, the brightest fixed star in
Virgo. Saturn is receding from us now,
but the telescope will show its rings and
moons with considerable clearness.
URANUS AND NEPTUNE.
Uranus is in the Constellation Libra,
only two or three degrees west of Alpha
of that group. It cannot easily be seen by
the naked eye, but a small opera glass
will reveal it clearly as a star of the sixth
or seventh magnitude shining with a
greenish light. On a very dark night it
may be seen with the naked eye, espe
cially by oblique vision, that is, by not
looking directly at it, for it is a curious
but well known fact that faint ob.ects
may be seen best by looking a little to one
sido of them. Neptune is not visible now.
THE CONSTELLATIONS AND THE FIXED
STARS.
In the north Ursa Major is west of
Polaris, and Cassiopeia east. Along the
ecliptie Capricornus is just rising, Sagit
tarius is well up, Scorpio on the meridian,
Libra past, Virgo lower still and Leo on
the western horizon. The bright red
star in the south at dark is Autares in
the heart of the Scorpion. At midnight
on Aug. 9 the moon will pass almost over
this star, occulting it indeed to observers
in the southern hemisphere. The out
lines of Scorpio may be easily traced,
as it bears some resemblance to the
well known stinging scorpion. In the
east, midway to the zenith Altair in the
Eagle may be seen as a star of the first
magnitude, between two other fainter
stars. Near by is the diamord shaped
group known as Job’s Coffin. Stretching
entirely across the heavens, from north
east to southwest, is the Milky Way, that
marvel of sublimity and beauty, which
challenges the admiration and wonder of
all. It is composed of stars and nebulas,
crowded together in rich profusion, and
he has missed the rarest treat whose soul
has not walked “along this broad and
ample road, whose dust is gold and pave
ment stars.” Otis Ashmore.
AFFAIRS AT CHICAGO.
More Troops Racalled—No Reception
to Mr. Debs on His Return.
Chicago, July 31—As a result of a con
ference between Mayor Hopkins and Vice
President Wickes of the Pullman com
pany, Adit. Gen. Orendorff and Assitant
Adjt. Gen. Bayles, held to-day, it was de
cided to call home eight of the twelve
companiesof state militia composing the
First regiment, now doing duty between
Fordham and Riverdale. Three of the
four companies which remain will bo sta
tioned at Pullman. This will leaveabout
100 soldiers in charge of the town. Mr.
Wickes does not expect any trouble. The
announcement was made to-day at the
meeting of the American Railway Union
strike committee that there would be no
parade of workingmen on the occasion of
the return of President Debs.
Secretary Keliher received a telegram
from him saying he would arrive in Chi
cago to-morrow morning. Arrangements
were begun to tender to him a trades
union reception and have a big parade,
but permission to use the streets for the
latter purpose was refused them by the
mayor.
A committee only will receive him at
the depot. He comes to attend the dele
gates convention, which begins next
Thursday morning at Uhlich hall to
take some action in regard to prolonging
the strike officially or declaring it "off.
Theconstitution will probably be changed
so as to admit any workingman to mem
bership in the American Railway Union.
NORTH DAKOTA “DRYS.”
A Prohibition Convention Controlled
by Populists.
Fargo, N. D., July 31— The prohibition
state convention to day swarmed with
populists, sufficient in number to control
the convention and indorse their ticket.
About iOO gathered from all parts of the
state but the central committee required
all participants to sign a pledge to support
the principles and candidates for the pro
hibition party, both state and national,
and only seventeen qualified.
They indorsed the republican candi
dates for judge of the supreme court, gov
ernor and superintendent of public in
struction The populists put up candi
dates for lieutenant governor, treasurer,
attorney general, nominated Stevenson
and Cameron for railway commissioners,
and nominated the following indepet,dent
candidates: S. S. Ellis, member of con
gress: T. F How. secretary of state; £>.
Carle ton, auditor; E. A. Taylor, commis
sioner of insurance; F. M. Arthur, com
missionerof agricullnre; E. F. Saunders,

WHEAT FED TO SWINE.
Unexpected State of Affairs Among
Indiana Farmers.
Indianapolis, Ind.. July 31 —The farm
ers of Indiana, for the first time in the
history of the state, are feeding thetr
wheat to their pigs and selling their
corn. Wheat brings 43 cents ser bushel
when delivered at the country stations
and corn sells readily at from 45 to 47
cents, The farmers say that one bushel
of wheat contains as much nutriment as
two bushels of corn, and as hogs are
bringing good prices, and corn is higher
than wheat, it is economy to feed the lat
ter and sell their corn.
