EDITORIAL NOTES
—Docs “Protection” protect ? The
question is ably answered on our first
P«ge-
—Perbam is talking about making a
corral for candidates for Congrcss-at-
large. Ah, Paris, would you be so
crael.
—Atlanta has only four cases ofsmall
pox. This enterprising city will have
her share of everything that comes
along.
—The Republican papers rejoice in
the fact that Jesse James, the outlaw,
Sympathized with the Democratic party.
Well, if go, Jes was a better man than
we took him for.
— The .free hash lifters of the Gcor-
gia press are to meet in Augusta on the
10th of May. we presume the boys
will not adjourn without nominating
Pat Walsh for Governor.
—The “black and tan” of Georgia
politics are to have a conference in
Macon soon. It will be manipulated
by disciples of Felton, Longstreet and
Co., and the colored man’s showing
will only be be apparent through a
treble-power microscope.
—Judge Thomas J. Simmons, of the
Macon circuit, would make a splendid
Governor, and we would like exceed
ingly well to get a chance to vote for
him. If the syndicate should favor
him it will be the best thing they have
done in many a day.
—We are glad to be aHe to an
nounce that at least one of the Cutbbert
papers has not forgotten that there is
such a railroad as the B. C. & C. The
Appeal talks as if it will be built soon.
Wake up, Sawteil, and let’s put this
* road right through to Columbus.
—Henry Grady is of the opinion
that Senator Brown will have to retire
from public life on account of his in
creasing ill health. We hope Uncle
Joey will be spared to serve his time
out. He is a shrewd and cunning old
fox, and lienee a good match for the
Radical prinoes of rascality who infest
the Senate. They ncvcA get away with
Joseph, who is a handjt man for the
Democrats to have around.*
MR- TURNER S SPEECH.
On our first page we lay before the
readers of The Democrat the speech
ofour Congressman. Hon. H. G. Turner,
on the question of the appointment, by
the President of the United States, of a
Tariff Commission to revise and regu
late the national taxes. As was expect
ed Mr. Turner opposed the establish
ment of such • concern, and with his
clear beaded common sense and logic
exposed the fraud which it concealed.
In the speech under consideration our
Representative took eccason to place
himself squarely in favor of a tariff lor
revenue only, and against, what is
known as “Protection.” In this posi
tion we are willing to rise or fall with
him, and we feel certain that the great
majority of the entire country endorses
him.
Mr. Turner, as the readers of The
Democrat know, is a man of great
ability. He has a massive brain, a
sublime mind, aDd a quick and splendid
intelligence. The proud record he
made in the Georgia Legislatuie should
have givon him the highest political
position long ago, and would have done
so, but the utter absence of that ele
ment known as “brass” in the man’s
character forbade his entering the wild
hunts for office, some of which have
disgraced the history of our State.
Mr. Turner, however, has a grand
conception of Duty. In this he resem
bles our immortal Lee. Unselfish, but
daring and accomplishing everything
wheu Duty commands—such' a man is
SOME PRESS OPINIONS ABOUT
RAILROADS IN WHICH BAIN-
BRIDGE IS INTERESTED.
Wc submit the following editorial
opinions from our brethren of the press
without comment, for the reason that
they arc explicit, sensible and tel! their
own story :
‘Bainbridge First, Last and all the
Time.”
Waycrosa Reporter.
Brother Bussell of The Baixbridge
Democrat, is out in a strong and time
ly editorial on the Chattahoochee ex
tension. He is right, and we are with
him. The road should by all means go
from Bainbridge. And we hope and
trust that the last'survey—or the one
being made now. will settle the question
in favor of Bainbridge. We are for
Bainbridge first, last and all the time.
“Should be Sorry to Have Her Cut
Off.”
Quitman Free Press.
lu conversation with a gentleman
yesterday we learn that it is possible
that our sister town, Bainbridge, may
be left out and the extension of the S.
F. k W. be commenced from some point
further east. We never had an idea of
such g thing in earnest, nor do we now
believe that such injustice will be done
Bainbridge has always been a warm
friend of the S. F. k W., and, if we
remember correctly, spent much money
in building the extension to that point
from Thomasville. Wc should be sorry
indeed to have her cut off. We do not
think, however, that our friends over
there need give themselves any uneasi
ness. It would not be policy in the
management of the S. F. & W, to start
ftQm any other point, and we have
heard Mr. Haines express himself some
what on this subject.
“With the Georgia System from Bain-
bndge to Columbus.”
Tallahassee Floridian.
Engineers engaged in an experiment
al survey of a line of road from Gaines
ville to Tallahassee, crossing the
Suwannee at Old Town and passin
through Lafayette, Taylor and Jefferson
counties, were in the city last week.
They consisted of Mr. B. A. Coachman
and Colonel C. F. Ilopkins, and were
accompanied by Captain H. T. Blocker,
surveyor. The enterprise is undertaken
by the Disston Land Company and
others, who give notice in another
column of an organization looking to a
railroad starting from the Georgia line
in Gadsden and terminating on the St
Johns river in Duval county. This is
a new movement in the way of improve
ment, and one that strikes us as sen
sible and promising. It will certainly
enlist the ardent hopes for its successful
prosecution of the people of the several
counties through which it proposes to
pass. A road from the Georgia line
in Gadsden to the St. Johns river
would mean a connection with the
Georgia system from Bainbridge to
Columbus and thence with Alabama
and the West, thus giving to East
and Florida almost a direct line to mar
kets which are now only reached by a
round-about and expensive way.
“As Fast as Money and Energy Can
do the Work ”
Cuthbcrt Appeal.
Many of our citizens have been look
ing anxiously aud hopefully for the
time to come when work would begin
on the B. & A. or the B C. & C, rail
roads. All have had hope they, or one
of them, would be built, and we are
delighted to announce that day is
breaking on the latter line, and before
the best of summer i upon us we ex
pect to see active operations begun, and
the road built^l.rough from Bainbridge,
via Cutbbert and Columbus to Rome as
last as money and energy can do the
work.
A dispatch from Jacksonville, Fla.
elated Saturday last says that a Talla
hassee special to the Times says : The
surveying party which lias been sur-
vcying a route from Jacksonville to
Tallahassee arrived Wednesday. The
road is to be extended northward tc
Columbus Ga., to be built by a corn-
difference in the cost of grading the
liuc, the S. F. & W, wou'd start the
extension from Climax, instead of Bain
bridge. This would prove very disas
trous to the town and people of our
neighboring city, and we hope the ru
mor is Unfounded. Of course Mr.
Plant and the owners of the S. F. & W.
know their own business, but it occurs
to us that it would not be good policy
to switch off a town like Bainbridge
frem their main line, to save a lew
thousand dollars. The people of Bain
bridge and Decatur county, together
with the other towns and counties
along the line in South Georgia, have
always given the road a generous sup
port. Unless there are insuperable
barriers in the way. Bainbridge should
not be left out in the cold. It is the
object of the management, no doubt, to
foster and build up all the towns alon
the line. The people of Thomasville
and Thomas county, would regret, very-
much to learn that the management
had irievocably decided to give Bain-
biidge the go by. They are our neigh
bors and friends, and while we are
resolutely engaged in building up our
own town, we have the inclination—
and take the time—to put iu a word
fir our Bainbridge friends.—Thomts-
ville, though frequently charged with
being selfish, is not so. She is ever
read*- to raise her voice for the good of
any town in South Georgia. And in
this instance, though it would result in
making Bainbridge a greater rival than
she has been in the past, she raises her
voice and asks that no injustice be done
her neighbors ; but that she be given
a living chance in the grand onward and
upward movement now sweeping the
country-
F L BABBIT.
—Thomasville Times, Quitman Free
Press, A aldosta Times and Waycross
Reporter, we thank you. •
—If the so-called “Independent move
ment” in Georgia was headed by any
body except disappointed office seekers,
it would doubtless take better with the
people. While these howling derna
gogues held office they were rampant
Democrats and Republicans; but now
that the flesh-pots are without their
reach, they yell for “Independentism”
and “Reform.” The Devil might as
well go to preaching reform.
The speech of Hon. 11. G. Turner
was not “with held for revision,” as is
so often the case with Congressional
speeches, but printed in the proceed
ings of the House, and it is truly a fine
effort. He shows up the iniquities of
the. present tariff clearly and forcibly,
and then lie pays his respects to the
proposed tariff commission in a way
that must convince all fair-mioded men
of the folly and imprudence of such a
step. There was more in the speech
for the length of it than any speech we
ever read in the Record. It shows
that our representative will in time take
as good a stand in Congress as lie did
imtiie Representative halls of his own
state.— Thomasville Enterprise.

this great tariff question was sprung —
when Congress seriously thought of
waiving its rights to regulate the rev

then Mr. Turner obeyed the call of
Duty, and the masterly arguuieut which
adorns the first page of The Democrat
this week, was the result.
1 his speech, brief as it is, gives in a
nutshell the entire questioo. While it
shows the iniquities of a tariff for pro-
tection, it points out the good of a
tariff for revenue; and then in argu
