'' TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 19. m 1— • Moultrlo Is still menaced by blind tigers. • The Mncon News says: "Muck rak ing was nil right enough when It was Qonflned to politics, but when It hit the grub box, weak stomachs went all i the bad." Senator Gorman was not rated as a statesman, but In "practical politics,” which term means the politics that ''gets things” and "does things,” he was eminently successful, and ns a tender of men he had few equals In hie dny. ' bradstreet's reports fewer failures last month than In nny May for thlr- I ; teen years. The liabilities nro higher than In the same month of several pro- ceding years. But business Is on a larger soalo; assets and liabilities In- iS oreasc with the volume of trade. As j'. the returns of Insolvencies constitute ■ one of the best Indications of veal pros perity or an approaching depression i the small number of failures Is most lV reassuring. ' Hoke Smith and Clark Howell will fe meet In Joint debate In Atlanta next Friday night. Wo don't envy Atlantn •and the Democracy of Fulton county. It will be a rallying occasion for the * partisans of tlio two men, each at the hehd of what has become a feud. The |.V Joint debate will prove nothing. No converts will be made to oithor side. ' and the result will be only to arouse Into mure nctlvo Vehemence tho spirit of rivalry between the two factions 6pt-V‘ . and their respective newspapers. General Nelson A. Miles evidently regards the recent disclosures about the Chicago packing houses as a vin- dtcatlori of himself in the position ho took with reference to embalmed ' moats furnished to tho army during tho Spanifih-Amerlcan war. A press dispatch quotes Gen. Miles as saying | nt Kansas City yesterday: “The dls- •: closures about the tracking house pro ducts now being exploited are uo nows 3> to me. I knew it several years ago. 1 told what I knew tliea. Had tho mat ter’ been taken up at that time tlious- . andB of lives would have been saved. ' I believe 3,000 United States soldiers lost their lives because of adulterated, &'V Impure, poisoned meat. There Is no way of estimating the number of sol diers whose health was ruined by eat- i : ing impure food. I have a barrel of testimony on the subject In the way of Y affidavits which I collected when I K! made my Investigation seven years ago. The Investigating committee closed the case and refused to hear 2,000 witnesses whom I had ready. At ; that time I could have secured the testimony of 100,000 men that the canned beef sold to the army was lm- Imre, adulterated and unwholesome.” REGULAR TIME FOR STATE PRI MARY. Mr. J, M. Strickland, of Griffin, Is sending out a circular letter giving no tice that at the next state Democratic convention he will present a resolu tion to have, the convention fix a per manent date for a primary, JuBt as It is permanent |n the regular election. This proposition lookB good to us. At present the State Executive Com mittee Axes the date for the primary, and there Is Invariably a contest over tho date, some wanting an early pri mary and others wanting It late. And, no matter which faction wins In the committee, It Is charged with manipu lating the committee In the Interest of some particular candidate. Our Democratic primaries are our real elections In Georgia, the election of all elective officers being determined by them. Our primaries aro therefore more Important than our regular elec tions, the date of which Is permanent ly fixed by law. "Wiry, then, should we not have a regular dato fixed for tho more Important election? A regular date far our' state primar ies would got rid of a lot of contention every two years over tho selection of a date, and we bellove It would also have the effect of shortening the cam paigns. With tho oxlstlng lndefinlte- noss and uncertainty ns to the time tho primary will ho held, candidates are prono to "take tlmo by the forelock” and onnounce themselves a year or moro In advance. If It wore known In ndvnnco that the primary would not bo hold until, say, July or August, we be lieve It would have a restraining effect upon tho restlvo class of aspirants who, under tho present plan, are led by their ambition Into firing tho politi cal woods too soon. Tho fixing of a permanent, date for holding our state primary would, in our opinion, bo n decided Improvement In the present syBtom. ESTIMATING THE COST OF THE CANAL. At Inst the country hits beon given an authoritative stntemont of tho length of time required to build tho Pnnnma canal on the plan In favor with tho administration at Washing ton. Chairman Shonts has said It will take twelve years. Very well. But tho Philadelphia Record wants to know how this statement Is to be reconciled with the claim thnt tho cost of completing the work will not ex ceod $1-10,000,000. And the question which the Record rises to ask Is a poser. The appropriations for the canal for tho current year amount to over $20,- 000,000: and tho work Is not ovon In full blnst. It would bo fair to assume that when tho steam shovels and drodges get Into full swing tho annual appropriations will bo' oven larger. If $20,000,000 be a fnlr yearly nvornge, however, twelve years’ operations would cost over $300,000,000—more than twice tho sum estimated. SUICIDE. Except when a man Insists upon tak ing somebody else with him, and com mits murder In order to do It, suicide Is an individual affair, and, viewed from a selfish individual standpoint, it would soem that tho right to commit suicide Is not to bo questioned. But there are few things within the power of the Individual moro harmful to mankind than suicide. And tho moro conspicuous the individual and sensa tional Ills suicide, the more harmful and fnr-ronchlng the effect, especially upon the weak-minded and thoso with an abnormal weakness for notoriety. Suicide is bad from whatever stand point It may be considered. The effect upon the living Is great, and yet tills does not appear to bo considered by those wild determine to take their owh lives. The shock that Is given is hor rible and tlio example thnt Is set Is even worse. The example is tho exact opposite of the considerate, the self- sacrificing, the heroic. There ls„ in deed, nothing so unherolc ub suicide. THE PACKING HOUSE EVILS. Yesterday's Herald published the full text of the President’s special message dealing with the packing house abomination, bnt could not mako room for the Nelll-Roynolds re port which the President transmitted to the congress with his message. Following are some of the points brought out In the report: The stock yards are small, uncov- I ered, falsely paved and unsanitary In both good and bad weather. Cattle dying en route are thrown upon the platforms where the cars are unloaded. In most of the buildings the flooring Is of wood, and Is usuully soaked and slimy. All the buildings are Imperfectly lighted. Workers toll In a humid atmosphere heavy with the odors of rotten wood, decayed meats, and stinking refuse. In nearly ail cases wooden recepta cles are used and never cleaned. Sanitary conveniences for the help are Insufficient to protect their health, regardless of protecting meats from filth. New buildings have the same de fects as the older ones. Entire absence of cleanliness In handling meats used for food products. Moat scraps raked from the floors and utilized In canned and other com modities. After the slaughter house Is passed, thore Is no effort at government In spection. Government labels are j placed on canned goods when It Is Impossible for the Inspector to know what Is con tained therein. Condemned meats are dyed and util ized In ennned goods that bear gov ernment labels attesting to their pur ity. Labels are washed from old canned goods, sometimes their age number ing years, and the product sold as new under new labels. Young girls work In rooms where the floors are at all times wet, where there Is no ventilation, and the tem perature Is always ns low as 38 de grees Fahrenheit. THIS DATE IN HISTORY.
