Why a Protectorate.? The effort to make capital out of the action of Commissioner Blount in re moving the United Slates marines from the city of Honolulu back on board their ship, and putting an end to the warlike occupation of the island by American troops, !>»■ calling it a lack of patriotism to haul down the American flag where it had once been hoisted, is very strained. The day when might makes right Ims passed away among Christian nations, and if it was found that there was no longer any need lor the presence of soldiers on the island, or possibily that their occupation of the city and state buildings was never jus tified. then it was a braver ami more magnanimous act on the part of this great nation to den) justly by this little government than to have held it. in sub jection simplv because we had the power to do so. It takes a brave man tn dare to do right under all circumstances, and though his conduct may be criticised nt the by the thoughtless or the vic ious, the true courage of his course will bo manifest in the long run. As with the individual, so with nations. If investiga tion by the chosen representative of this government has found that there was no justification for the state of things existing on the island, then this great nation has done a noble thing in receding from its false position and ac cording its full rights to this helpless little government in the midst of the sea. And there lire reasons for believing that Minister Stevens acted with undue baste and without adequate authority in placing the island under the American Hag and arms. True the occupancy was peaceful, but this was so simply be cause the native government was pow erless to cope with so great a power. Queen Liliuokalani protested against it. nml dechired she yielded to superior force. It is claimed that it was to pro tect the Provisional government and the property of American citizens on the is land, from destruction by the natives, but there is grave reason to believe that the demands for annexation of the island by the I’nited States came not so much from the natives of the island as from interested Americans having property interests there. But be that as it. mav. and admit that the steps which have been taken up to date were all justifiable and proper, and that there is a real desire on the part of the people for annexation to this country, does it not nt once appear that it would lie much more seemly Io have this petition for annexation come voluntarily from a people acting under their own government, than from a peo ple powerless to defend themselves and overshadowed and overawed by Ameri can meu-of-war and American soldiets.' If the people want annexation, the Uniled States cannot do better than to let them say so while not. under duress: and if it has been found that they do not, the United States can afford to deni as fairly by this liclplesss people as by the strongest of notion?. Under any circumstances it is cleftr that in the peaceful state of things ex isting on the island there is no longot a demand for the presence of soldiers in the city, and Commissioner Blount is doubtless pursuing the policy which was determined on before his departure in ordering them hack to the ships in the event such was found Io be the cave. The preposition to annex the islands be- I fore the close of President Harrison’s ’administration of an ox parte showing I was manifestly improper, and the sen ate acted properly' in delaying the mat ter. In pursuing the question further this government will bo aloe to :|ct vih full knowledge of the facts, and the courage ami magnanimity of the action already taken is the highest evidence that it will do what is right. Wisdom of Maturer Mnrrinpes It is said to be n statistical fact that there nre fewer early marriages than ’ formerly ami that the tendency is to wards a riper age on‘the part of both men and women before embarking in matrimony. 1 In England it is est’mntijl that only 21 young mon'out of 1,(X)0 marry between the ages of 20 and 25, while 138 out of 1,090 marry between 30 and 3.> years, 1 17 between 35 and -10 years, and 122 between 40 and -15 years of ago. The i Bureau of Vital statistics of Michigan I shows that, while in IS7O of the males i marrying 37.77 per cent, were between i 21 and 25 years of Oige ami 29.46 per cent. were between 25 and oO years, ir i 1890 the per cent of the males of the former age hid sunk to 35.45 and the ; per cent, of the males of the latter age had risen to 111.57. The same tendency with still greater force is seen among I fmaales. In 1870 36.50 per cent, mao ■ ried between 15 and 20 years of age ana ■ .37.45 per cent, between 20 and 25 years, i but in 1890 only 31.24 per cent, married j between the former ages, while 41.15 I per eent. married between the latter J ages. Seventeen years of marriage srat ! istics kept in the Province of Ontario, ■ Canada, show that, the percentage or • men marrying between 20 and 25 years hs declined from 39 l» 33. while the per centage of men marrying between 30 and 35 years has increased from 11 to . 14 This tendency has been the subject of i diesussion among statisticians and some I extreme theorists have argued that the human race would finally become cx tinct because of the increasing delay in i contracting marriage. The Philadelphia ■ Press, however, finds in the statistics ' gathered by a German investigator, rea son to believe taat the race is better off j for delaying the age at which marriage takes place as the offspring of maturer parents is less liable to ea»ly death and hereditary infirmities, For ten years this German investigator made it a f rac- 1 • THE AUGUSTA CHRONICLE, APRIt 19, 1893, lice, whenever the death of a child was registered. to inquire th • nge of thb parents at the time the child was born and to note whether the cause was hered itary or due to some disease <,mtraet< a after birth. In this way about 30,000 cases were recorded. and the conclusions drawn, which eeern to be sustained by the facts, are of a highly interesting character. The figures prove, says the Press, at least for the neighborhood In which the investigation wns made, that children born of mothers under 20 years of nge arc much more subject to disease amt dip in double the proportion from con sumption and treble the proportion from atrophy of children born of mothers over the ago of 20. Where the father was under 25 years the result of th ■ health of the child seems to have been about the same ns where the mother was un der 20. The most healthful children, it was found, were born to parents whore the father wns between 30 and 10 yearn of age and the mother between 30 and 35 years. With the facts before him tlie German investigator constricted the following table showing tjio pocentage ol deaths from hereditary causes among ’children bom to parents of different nge combinations: Per cent, of Denths Among Ago of i’afliers.

In the individual case the experience of others or the advice of the wisest will do little good. AYhen two young people become enamored of each other and decide to marry they care nothing for stntistics. The younger they are the less they will be governed by pre cedence or experience, but it is possible by the gradual teaching of the nations to teach the mass of mankind, and it is probable that people nre constantly looking more rationally and scientifically upon till the relations of life. There is little reason fur doubting the wisdom (f the assertion of tbe scientist who de clared that “the world would be better off if one-third less children were born, if it resulted in the other two-thirds be ing more healthful and better trained ■ nd reared." f -• Ex-Senator Joseph E. Brown. We cordially add our own to the con gratulations which are being extended to ex-Senator Joseph E. Brow'n on the attaining of his seventy-second year in improved health. Though' ho has re tired from the cares and bustle of active life. Senator Brown keeps abreast of the moving tide of public affairs, and his Hear insight into men and affairs is Doubtless as lie looks on the busy scene and reads of the great questions which are pressing for ward for solution, he occasionally longs Mr ;'i' legislative halls and political, hustings wherein ho was wont to wield | ■in intiuenee second to none, brom the I line lie entered the state senate in 1849 i he became a public figure, and a factor ! f controlling intiuenee in Georgia affairs, and as the war governor of Georgia attained national prominence from the boldness and independence of his utterances and acts in matters of state. He was one of the shredest debaters and most successful of poli ticians, and few mon ever held greater sway in their state. His career in the United States Senate was ia keeping with the ability displayed in other fields, and had he not voluntarily retired because of failing health he cutld have held the senatorship as long he pleased. We hope that his declining years shall be tilled with contentment and peace, and made happy by the con sciousness of a long life of service to his state, and by the love and venera tion of his interesting family and the sincere regard of his fellow-citizens. The Car Coupler Aot. One of the least and most praise-1 worthy acts of the late Congress was 1 the passage of the car-coupler act, which ! declares that within the next five years all the railroads in the country shall equip the ears with automatic couplers and power brakes. AVhen the great number of men who are killed and maimed every year while coupling cars is considered, the wonder that this legislation in the interest of humanity was not accomplished before i The principal features of the act art | embraced in the first three sections. ■ The first refers to power brakes and is : ■ as follows: From and after the Ist of January, i 1898. it shall be unlawful for any com mon carrier engaged in interstate com- ■ meree by railroad to use on its line any : locomotive engine in moving interstate i traffic not equipped with a power driv. ' ing wheel brake and appliances for oper i atiiig the train-break system, or to run any train in such traffic after said ; date that has not a sufficient number of i cars in it so equipped with power or ! traan-brakes that the engineer or lo<x> | ■ motive drawing such train can control ; ■ ns speed without requirag brakemen to ’ j use tin 1 common hum! brake for that purpose. The second deals with the automatic coupler and is as follows: Secs 2.—That on and after the Ist day of January, 1898, it shall be no lawful for nay such common carrier to haul or permit to be hatfhsl or tfsod on its lines any car used in moving interr .state traffic not equipped with couplers coupling automatically by impact, and which can be coupled without the ne cessity of men going between the ends of the cars. The third pnovidea that any road which has complied with the foregoing sections in equipping its trains may lawfully refuse to receive from connect ing lines cars which are not thus equip ped. Section four provides for (he plac ing of secure grab irons or handholds on the sides ami ends of each car by tbe Ist of July, 1895. Section five author izes the American Railway Associntiop to designate the standard height of i brawbars for freight cars, and subse quent sections provide for penalties etc. This is a very important piece of leg islation, and though five vears have been allowed for carrying it into effect, so at not to work a hardship on the railroads, yet its passage moans a great deal for humanity, and five years is a short Dofiod in the life of a nation. The passage of this act alone is enough tc save a session of Congress from whole sale condemnation. Treat Them With Silence. A good many papers in Georgia are just now engaged in pointing out to cer tain other papers the mistake they make in holding, out overtures to the third oartv leaders to come back to the Dem ocratic fold. They deprecate the impor tunce that is thus ascribed to these wan derers from the Democratic fold, or de serters from the faith of the fathers, and then proceed to pounce upon them as dangerous demagogues and enemies of the public welfare. Now. so far as results are concerned, the papers which are thus criticizing the unquestionably mistaken policy of the first, papers are guilty of equal indiscre tion in further airing the matter. To tlie third party leader agitation is life. He had just as soon be abused as praised, probably a little rather, for the latter gives him a chance to air his grievances before his followers, and tell them what he is endurinjf for their sake. If he bnd two papers, one containing a complimentary notice of him. and tlie other abusing him like a pickpocket, he would lie certain to ?cad from the latter, and esteem it as much more valuable for him. among his followers. I hir advice to tie- Democratic papers of Georgia is to let the would be Third party leaders of Georgia severely alone. They do not merit prtii-e, they glory in abuse, but they sicken on silence. Treat 'hem as though they were dead men: never mentioning their names, unless it be in some proper news item in which they are eoncerned as individuals, and not (is politicians. In such items, do not refer to them as Mr. Blank, “the prominent Third party leader," but sim ply as Mr. Blank. A Mr. Blank of this kind who has been a subscriber of The Chronicle for years. | and who was appreciative as long as we fought him, squealed promptly ; when his name was omitted from our ; columns. He would have been delighted if we had reprinted the abuse of him i from other papers, or had daily as i sanlted him ourselves, but the iron en i tered his soul when he discovered that his name was never mentioned, and be fore long name the revenge of small men who consider themselves aggrieved by a newspaper.—“ Stop my paper.” There could not have been a more patent acknowledgment of the fact that the medicine was working, and there can be no doubt that ignoring them com pletely will be the bitterest pill that can be administered to Third party leaders. We suggest, therefore, that the papers which are now abusing certain defunct i statesmen, and writing editorials about other ill-advised publications of recent . date, try the policy of silence, and do nothing to aid malcontents in keeping before the public which is their chiefest ! delight. The Central Railroad. The interest in the Central Railroad litigation is widespread, but the legal steps whU’h have been taken are so com plicated to the mind of the layman that the average reader is already out of his | depth, and finds it impossible to under ; stand the new and differing phases of I the ease which are constantly appear j ing ih the newspapers. In order to make future steps in the litigation more in telligible to the general reader, and the past more simple, the Chronicle attempts this morning a review and summing up of the case in simple language, free from legal technicalities. The Central Railroad was brought intc court, first, on a suit brought by Mrs. I Rowena Clark before Judge Speer ask , ing the appointment of a receiver. It was J also claimed that a foreign corporation J had control of the majority of the stock of ’ the Central, ami the purpose of the suit i was to prevent that corporation from voting this stock so as to elect officers of the road who might be inimical to the interests of the minority stockhold ■! ers. On this suit which was heard by 1 both Judge Speer and Judge Pardee, - Judge Pardee put the road and its assets i into the hands of the thirteen directors : as temporary receivers who were l trol its affairs until the election of new I directors which was near at hand. : In answer to this suit of Rowena Clarke i the Central Railroad directors had de- clared that the Central was solvent.' but when the new directors were, elected it was found by them that it wax not, and they then made application before Judge Speer for the appointment of a receiver to protect the rights of credi tors and preserve the integrity of the system, claiming that the entire assets of the Central Railroad and Banking Company were a trust fund for its creditors. Whereupon, Judge Speer placed not only the Central railroad and its assets, but all of its connecting lines in the hands of President Comer as re ceiver for the whole system. These separate lines it is claimed, were thus for the first time brought before the court, and a receiver was thus appointed for them, although it is claimed they were solvent and not- in default. Tbe next step was a' creditor’s suit by the Farmers' Loan and Trust Company to foreclose the tripartite mortgage b»4d by it as trustee on the main line from Savannah to Atlanta, and on the Southwestern Railroad to secure $5,000,- 000 bonds. Tins was the first creditor's suit, and in response to this Judge Speer took the movers in it by surprise b/ up pointing Mr. Comer receiver also in this suit, though he was the representative of the owners of tlie property and Presi dent of the Central Railroad and Bunk ing Company and was thus made, against tbeir will, the representative of the creditors al<o. The Attorneys in this case placed on file their protest against the appointment. The next step was the bringing of sep arate suits by tbe various roads which had been placed in the bands of Receiv er Comer as “assets of the Central.’ they claiming that tlie original suit of Rowena Clarke had not involved them, but only the Central railroad itself, ana the latter ease, of the Central Railroad and Banking Company under which Judge Speer had placed the whole system in the hands of receiver Comer, being de pendent on the former Clarke suit for jurisdiction in the United Suites Court, could not go beyond the property invol ved in the original suit. Again they claitqed Hint the fact that the Central railroad owned a majority of their stock did not authorize the court to, pl.-iee the roads thein-<4ves in tin* hands of the receiver as assets of the Central but simply the stock. For example, if the King Mill in Augusta owned stock in the Georgia railroad—a majority of the sftock we will suppose—aad the King Mill should be put in the hands of a receiver, this stock would go into the receiver’s hands as nart of the miiT? assets, but that would not put the Geor gia railroad itself in the hands of the receiver also. Yet, it is claimed, this is what the Central Railroad did under its bill against its creditors. The bond holders >f these several lines cannot now look to the Central to pay the in terest on their bonds, for Receiver Comer has defaulted in every case when the interest fell due, even though, they ehar-'e, he had the money in hand with which he could have paid, had he seen fit. It was to his interest as receiver of the Central to keep in hand all tlie funds he had. and to further the reorgan ization scheme in ayy wav in his power But these separate roads while not an tagonizing the reorganization, claim that Receiver Comer in his official capacity is not an impartial officer, being the re presentative of the Central, and they therefore ask the appointment of sepa rate receivers for these several lines, to represent them, as their interests and that of the Central are opposed to each other. Tn speaking of these branch lines, as their position towards tbe Central re ceiver is tbe same, we have grouped theln in seating their ease, but these suits are brought separately and inde pendently by each—the Bort Royal and Augusta was first, and was brought by the State of South Carolina to break the lease of the Central and open up I’ort Royal harbor in that state. Tlie Bort Royal & M estern Carolina suit was brought by the bondholders of the Au gusta and Knoxville railroad, Receiver Comer having defaulted in the payment of their interests, eparate suits were also brought by the Montgomery and Eu fala, the Mobile and Girard, and tbe Sav annah and Western. The position of these lines is that Receiver Comer can not properly .represent their interests and the Central’s at the same time, and they want- individual receivers to look out for their interests in the reorganiza tion, or in any other plan that may be adopted, and in the interim, to keep sep arate accounts so as to form a fund to pay the interest due them. This situation up to the time of the atmeanuice of Mr. Crawford be fore Judge Pardee in Savannah the other day. and his sensational arraign ment of Judge Sneer: and this brings us to look for a moment at_ the Richmond Terminal end of the ease, the owners of the 44,W0 | shares of disfranchised stock in the Central. It will be remembered that there are two reorcanization schemes on foot, and while Hollins & Co., are try ing to reorganize the Central, Drexel. Morgan & Co., are attempting the reor ganization of the Terminal. In the Ter minal reorganization it is proposed to j float a collateral trust bond secured by : the securities of various other companies i held by tb«» terminal, and one of these is ; the (44,000 shares) majority stock of the Central railroad. Tn order to establish the vallie of these collateral trust bonds it. will be necessary to give a value to the securities on which they are based, in cluding the Central common stock; and to make this Central stock an available asset. Mr. Crawford has attacked the Central receivership, and is trying to put the system back into the hands of the stockholders, claiming th;:t it is sol- vent. and the stockholders will be able to raise all neceasarv funds for the opera tion of the line. Mr. Crawford's attack on the lease is based on the recently published agreement between Hollis & Co., the Mercantile Trust Company of New York and the receiver of the Cen trad railroad, which was ratified by a decree of the court, and under which agreement it is charged Hollins & Co., have their debt put ahead of debts of other creditors, and on the failure of the Central railroad to nav the $5,000,- (XX) louat on July 1, 1893, Hollins & Co., are authorized to nut nn for sale all se curities in their charge as collateral, and buy them uv themselves at private sale. Mr. Crav.ford further claims that the original Clarke suit under which the directors were named ns temporary re ceivers hud served its entire purpose when the election of the new directors took place without the majority stock being allowed to vote, and wns no longer in force. Therefore it could not be used as a basis for the subsequent litigation which has followed m a dependent suit, and which was brouehr into the case new property not included in the original decree which placed the Central railroad and its assets in the hands of the direc tors as temnomrv receivers. The out come of it all will bu awaited with in terest. The attack on the ruling of Judge Speer bv Attorney Crawford is the talk of the hour among lawyers, and we publish this morning an interview with Judge Sneer relative to it. What Judge Pardee’s rulina will be on the case made bv Mr. Crawford and his asso ciates remains tn !»• «oen. As we have understood it. this is the ease up to date, in a nutshell, stripped of all legal tech nicalities. and told in the language of a lavman. The Man from Boston. The Chronicle publishes this morning n letter from The Boston Globe on the “Curios from the South,” in which the writer accepts as authoritative concern ing the negro the views and statements of a negro hack driver who believes that George Washington signed the emanci pation proclamation. Tbe letter is in teresting from several standpoints, hut especially from sources to which the writer looks for information concerning the negro. One of the many thousand ne groes who enjoy the advantage of public school education would have told him that the white people did not endeavor to keep their black brother in dense ignorance and an investigation would have revealed tlie fact that tbe negro has the usual per cent, enrolled in schools free to all, supported, like, all public charges by the property of the state, and it is not necessary to state that the white people pay a far greater propor tion of the tax. If the writer from Bos ton will leave his prejudices at home he might find information in the South both interesting and valuable. The Late George I. Se ey. The death of George I. Seney last week in New York closed a career that was conspicuous for philanthrophy, piety and business sagacity. It is stated by one familiar with his charities that his gifts would aggregate two million dol lars, and this out of a fortune that was never estimated at more than twice that amount. To Wesleyan University, alone he gave a quarter of a million dollars; to the Wesleyan Female Seminary in Macon Georgia he gave $125,000; to the Methodist hospital at Brooklyn he gave $410,000; to tile Long Island His torical Society he gave SIOO,OOO, and i north and south he bestowed hi s' bounty with generous hand. Indeed his liber ality to southern institutions was criti cised by r northern people of narrow i unnds and sectional prejudices. His i liberality was specially bestowed in. Georgia, and Athens and Oxford treas ure his memory as well as Macon. All of these institutions have had appropri ate memorial exercises, and at Wesley an his birthday has been made an am* niversary for special observance, and will be known as Seney Day. Though not a recipient of his bounty, Augusta shared in the admiration which was felt for him all over Georgia and) the appreciation of his generosity to Georgia institutions. This was the home of his maternal grandfather. Sena tor Few of Georgia. His charity was; bestowed with care, and with a view to doing permanent good. He was a man of fine sense, refined culture and a-sthet tic temperm&nent. He was a lover of art and one of its intelligent patrons. The world is better for his living and 1 poorer in his death.
