THE UNIVERSITY IN DANGER.
A bill has been introduced i n the Legis
lature by Mr. McGhee, of Murray, to
allow the State Horticultural Society to
elect four trustees of the University of
Georgia. The tendency of this bill is
dangerous to the University. .
1 be-board is already , too large. It is
so unwietdly ms to interfere with the
dispatch of business and the accomplish
ment of effective work. This, however,
is only an inconvenience. The danger
we apprehend is in adding to the board
men who are notin sympathy with ibw
University and its wants. The Horticul
tural Society as a society, is not interest
ed in the University of Georgia. Its
members may or may not be its
staunch friends. The success of the so
ciety in no way depends upon the man
agement of the Universiry, nor does the
University look upon the society as an
adjunct. Why then should it be repre
sented in the Board of Trustees? The
same may justly be said of the State
Agricultural Society, which has for some
years been “represented” in the board.
“Represented" is we suppose the proper
word to use, although no measure has yet
c >me before the board in which that so
ciety was especially interested, nor is
any likely to come up. It is true that
those trustees have criticized the dispo
sition of the Land Scrip Fund and have
been partisans of the branch, c-ueges,
but their society has no more interest in
these than the Bar of Georgia, or the
Knights of Labor. Tho act creating the
Technological Commission constitutes
the members of that Commission ex-
officio members of the Board of Trus
tees of University. Had the school been
located at Athens as an integral part of
the l T Diversity—which the orginal bill
contemplated—there would have been
no objr-MOn to this feature. But since j lols and costly buildings.
AN IMPORTANT CHARTER.
The contest over the charter of the
Georgia, Caroliea and Northern Railroad
Company, now before the Railroad Com
mittee in the Boose is one somewhat
similar to that which arose when the
East Tennessee Railroad sought admis
sion into Atlanta some yean ago over
the tracks of the Western and Atlantic
Railroad. The Legislature granted the
charter and then decided that the right
of way of a railroad could be condemned
just as private property could be con
demned, and that a railroad had no more
right to obstruct an entry- into a city
than a private property holder had. The
East Tennessee Railroad gained its char
ter with the right to nse two miles of the
State Road track, but found it expedient
to make their own entry. The present
road, which is the Athens, Elberton,
Chester and Abbeville route, asks the
same privilege and will donbtless be
given the same rights over a section of
the Georgia Railroad. The Legislature
cannot afford to obstruct the enterprise
of railroad building in this State, or to
discourage the entry of capital into
Georgia.
The Georgia, Carolina and Northern
Railroad is in the hands of men who
will build it provided they can secure
the right of way through private land
and Into the cities along Us route. Ter
minal facilities in Atlanta are very ne
cessary to the success of this line, end
we not see how the General Assembly
can refuse the franchise upon the terms
desired. When the State forty years
ago condemned the land of some private
citizen for the Georgia Railroad, it did
so by virtue of the right of putting pri
vate property to public use. Today
another railroad seeking to enter Atlanta
finds itself obstructed by valuable city
Rather than
Mr.. McGhee, of Murray, has intro
duced a hill allowing the State Horticul
tural Society to appoint four trustees of
the Stale University. That board is al
ready too large. If anything, it .should
be reduced, and the Governor or State
Legislature should appoint a hoard of
nine or a dozen regent.-, who shall give
its affairs practical attention.
I’l-.OE. Wki te has been before the Agri
cultural Committee in Atlanta, with Hon
L. F. Livingslon and others, and made
an argument in favor of the experimental
farm and sia.ion in Georgia. A hill has
been introduced in the House by Mr.
AicOhord, of Richmond, having in view
just this object. Wc trust this recom
mendation of Gov. McDcniel will be
amply carried out.
The picture of Clarko County politics
now given the people is about in its
usual setting. The failure to hold a pri
mary election for city and county officers
has borne its usual fruit. Day and
night furnish evidence that leaders
must be controlled, voters roust be cor
ailed and candidates must he bled. Feo-
plo of Clarke county and of Athens, how
long are these things to continue?
The bill introduced by Mr. DuBose, of
Wilkes, to regulate the appeal from State
to federal comts of foteign corporations
doing business in this S.ate, is an im
port* it one and should receive atten
tion. Mr. Dullose proposes to make
writs of error from Stale courts the sole
condition. This bill is far above the
average in importance.
another place has been chosen a major!
ty or all of that Commission might be
hostile to the University. They would
come into the hoard possibly not in sym
pathy with that body, and prejudiced in
javorof an institution which, if their ef
forts to build it up are successful, must
he a rival of the University for the pa-
tronogc of the State and for the appropria
tion of the Legislature. Wbat can he
expected of these gentlemen but that
where the interests of the Technologi
cal School are in question their influences
and their efforts will he thrown in its fa
vor? So far as the personnel of the pres
ent Copiroission is concerned, there is no
objection to be urged, but be it remem
bered that the General Board has no
power to fill vacancies.
Xo man ought to be a trustee of the
University of Georgia who is not heart
and soul for the University against every
other institution, and every other simi
lar interest.
We do rot know the object of Mr.
McGhee, and we desire to do him no in
justice—in the absence of any knowl
edge to the contrary, we take for granted
he is a friend—but there is a menace in
the bill. Let every University man in
the Legislature scan it closely before its
passage.
MORTE D'ARTHUR.
level its way, to public and private detri
ment. it now asks that a small portion of
the Georgia Railroad side track which
was built for public, not for private use,
be shared with it so that its ingress may
be facilitated. We trust the charter of
the Georgia, Carolina and Northern Rail
road will not be refused. The Georgia
Railroad cannot obstruct this grant by
declaring that their track is private prop
erty. If it were such the State would
never have allowed them to build it.
Since writing this article we learn that
the railroad committee has decided to
recommend the grant of the charter.
The report, as agreed upon, gives the
new road the right to condemn a side
track of any other railroad, to reach its
fre : ght or pasgenger depot The new
road will thus enter Atlanta on one of the
side tracks of the Georgia Railroad.
This gives terminal facilities to the new
railroad which are worth thousands of
dollars. We trust it will speedily be
constructed.
tationand the part far sway removed
where the hovels and-tenements of the
poor are huddled together in wretched
ness. This is wrong. The poor have to
learn that pity rather than envy ia what
the rich need from them, and the rich
have to learn that true and honest hearts
beat beneath rags.
“Anarchism is the protest sgainst ty
ranny, end that is out of place in this
country, where we have, despite all its
shortcomings, the greatest and grandest
government the world has ever seen.
Here the rich and poor can and do saeet
on one plane—it ia the iench were roots
the ballot-box. Then the question of
fit tore win be answered, truthfully and
quickly. It wilt speak in no uncertain
tones, saying that the land which God
put outdoors is free to every child of
nature. No man has a right to own more
land than be can use and no man who
want land to use ought to he deprived of
it. Why, I think if the air about ns could
bo bottled up we would have a Mg syndi
cate framing the great American air-bot
tling association and thousands would
die because they had not money eneugh
to pay for air to breathe. Thatis what
ia going on with the Icxd, and it must
stop, hut not by any rash means. When
a man preaches justice and advocates
robbery as a way to get it I suspect him.
I do not blame the rich for whit they
have, and would not take a pennyworth
from the richest of them except at stair
valuation, hut I would take it until every
man and woman born into the world had
a chance it live through his or her days
here in comfort and happiness.
“Great inventions were never intended
to pile to great fortunes and curia the la
borer. Ne, nor will strikes settle any
thing.. The first snccesful strikes will
be the last, for tho people will rise and
show that the grasp of the laborer tyrar
must be kept non the throat ef eapit 1
just as sure as the grinding heel of mo
nopoly mnst not be placed upon the
prostrate form of toiL I am an iadividu-
alist, and the majority has no tint to
crush my manhood out of me. When
we have a nation of homes, of these cen
tres where love reigns, where the race
is not for riches but for happiness, then
the geal will be reached and content pre-
vail. The unfair test of supply »nd de
mand will not he all, but the hired man
will be given a living compensation and
be a free man among freemen, the peer
of any of his fellow-citizens.”
THE WEEKLY MARKET. . r
The New'York market advanced
sharply at tho beginning of tho week to
which our local market quickly respond
ed, and prices advanced Jfc. To
ward the middle of the week the New
York and Liverpool markets both be
came easier, and prices declined slightly,
but market closed with a better feeling
at - quotations, which equal those
of thth i s h& $3ot reached during the
Week. The advance in prices caused
large sales and both compresses were
taxed to their utmost capacity. The
general feeling is that the present prices
will be maintained, and many well in
formed cotton men look for a still farther
advance.
One of the features of the week hero
have been the purchase of Urge lota of
cotton by well known Athena capitalists
who will hold presumably for an advance.
Stock on hand for the week 6,808 bales.

The hill to make judges of the Supe
rior and Supreme Courts ineligible to
other offices during their_ terms or two
years thereafter, was repot ted adversely
by the committee of general judiciary
and lost. The hill in that shape was im
practicable. At the same time, a hard
sentiment in the state is crystalling
against candidates who juggle in politics
from the bench in the name of the law.
The control of the Central railroad by
any Northern syndicate would be very
unfortunate. As near as can he, the
Georgia Central is a home institution and
is managed in the interest of the people
of Georgia. It is an ally of Georgia
cities and a developer of Georgia com
merce. A control of this system by a
foreign corporation means speculation,
discrimination and possibly extortion.
As to the managers who put at the head
of the system, we regard Capt. Raoul
as the equal of any man who lias been
mentioned fer the place.
The legislative contest in Mercer coun
ty* Now Jersey, turns upon'the counting
of one ballot, hearing the names of both
the Republican and Democratic candi
date, the former bciug printed and the
tatter written. The name of the Repub
lican candidate is not erased, but remains
legible in print. It seems clear that it
was the intention of the voter wba cast
the ballot to scratch the Republican and
' vote for the Democrat, and in such a
manner the intention of the voter ought
to govern. Governor Abbott and United
States Senator Jewell are both deeply
interested in this matter. Neither one
is sure which will be elected to the Sen
ate this winter and the success of either
may depend on one vote in the Legis
lature.
When the Chicago Convention in 18G0
had retired Gen. Grant, overcome Sena
tor Conkling and scattered the Stalwart
republicans by nominating Gen. Garfield
for the Presidency, that body crct shout
for a nominee for the second place on
the ticket, and selected Chester A. Ar
thur.
lie was a devoted follower of Conk-
ling, and was one of the 006 who went
down with the old guard which fought
for the third term. He was astalwartof
the stalwarts, and as deputy collector
of customs in New York had been re
moved by Secretary Sherman in 1878,
along with Collector Cornell for incora-
petency. He was little more than a
ward politician in New York, but was a
manager of elections who had more than
once done his party good service. He
was a club man, a high liver and soci
ally stood well among the worldly peo-
pl.) of the city.
The tragedy which elected Chester A.
Arthur to the Presidency, sobered him
with resposibility. The ward manager
and state politician became the calm con
servative character which gave the coun
try a respectable and efficient govern*
ment at a trying time for the incumbent
and h>s party. Old associations were
dropped, old habits discarded, and the
man who had not been an acceptable
port collector became a good Chief Mag
istrate of the Nation.
President Arthur's health gaTe way
under his trying social and official rou
tine in the White House. He was emi
nently a social character, lived high and
entertained elegantly. His table and
wardrobe were the only objects of criti
cism during his administration, and his
midnight hours told upon his health.
His official duties were never interferred
with, but no man, even of his physique,
could stand the double strain. He has
been a wreck since he left tho White
House. His graceful attentions to Pres
ide^ Cleveland at the inauguration were
in keeping with the general instincts of
the man.
Ex-President Arthur's sudden death
in New York of apoplexy yesterday,
closes the career or a man who had
greatness thrust upon upon him and who
filled an important ctisis in American
history respectably, if not conspicuously.
The professors at Andover Theolog
ical Seminary in New York go several
lengths ahead of Dr. Woodrow. Pro
fessors Smyth, Tucker, Harris, Church

views of the fir-t mentioned are briefly
these: He holds, first, that the Bible is
not the “only perfect rule of faith and
practice; second, that Christ in his days
of humiliation was finite, being limited in
all his attributes, capacities and attain
ments, in other words, was not “God in

or capacity to repent without the know!

The trouble between Dr. McCosh, of
Princeton College, and Dr. Homes, of
Cambridge has been settled. The former
took umbrage at some of Dr. Holmes’
verses read at the Harvard celebration,
and jerking on his ulster left the banquet
hall. Dr. Holmes has subsequently
printed his verses to show thst they re
ferred to the trouble at Andover and not
to Princeton. Dr. McCosh is slightly ap
peased, hut still declares that it was
Harvard's evident intention to snub
Princeton by withholding all her hon
orary degrees from all of Princeton's
professors.
The investigation of the bribery charge*
has been going on this week before the
joint legislative commtitee in Atlanta.
The testimony of J. A. Biianer who
made the affidavit seems to have been
discredited. The drift of the defendants
questioning in te show that Mr. Harrison
was known to be a targe owner in the
Marietta Company; that Gen. Phillips
the attorney of the company employed
to ui ge the change from oolitic limestone
to Georgia marble in a legitimate way;
that he did so openly; that the Governor
and everybody else knew his business;
that it was open and above board, and
there was no secret in it.

The address which conveys the greet
ing of the George campaign committee
to the tabor organizations of the United
States is a forcible, logical and temperate
document. Its freedom from inflamma
tory language and reliance upon the pow
er of the ballot says, the New York Star,
are in themselves evidences of the merit
of the American system, which places in
the hands of. communities and of men of
common interests the power to right their
own wrongs and vindicate their own
rights.
The pint of agitation laid down in
the address is as follows:
“Tho work which we ask you lo under
take is in preliminary stationary stages,
mainly educational. Wc wish to see
formed all over the country open associ
ations or dubs, which, by means of re
unions, lectures, debates, the dissemina
tion of literature and the comparison of
opinions, shall prepare the way for such
a political union as will result in the for
mation of a national party powerful
enough to rewrite the taws and carry
into execution the popular will.”
Thc Savannah News asks the perti
nent question: “But why was the Tin
Plate Association so anxious to defeat
Mr. Morrison? Because, it ta alleged, it
proposes to appeal to the next Congress
to increase the tax on imported tin plates
in order that it may largely increase its
profits, and Mr. Morrison would have
been an insurmountable obstacle to tho
-cess of its scheme.' When it ta ur

Nsw York, November 15.—The Free
Thinkers and Secular Unionists closed
their congress of the past week at Chick-
ering. Hall last evening. Colonel Inger-
soll wis down for a lay sermon, but there
was a lady, too, who had something to say,
and he gallantly accorded her first place.
Miss Gardner wanted to protest—tnd did
it, too, in msny a sharply turned sen
tence—against the power which the
church bad over women. “The Bible,”
she protested, “regarded woman aa a
thing of man’s lowest uses, and if all that
the Bible says about women were
gathered together it would make a hook
fit for the vest pocket in size, but unfit;
because of its indecency, to go through
the United States mails. The woman
filled with the teachings of the church
was the mother of sons who feared
ghosts, who worshiped things that were
not and failed to make the best uses of
the thousand opportunities about them.
As men flung off these thralls the day of
women's complete freedom or equality
grew near.” Col. IngenoU was intro
duced after the chairman had announced
that the union had decided upon keeping
up a regular Sunday evening meeting in
this city, to open next week at No, 18
Lafeyette place. The nextof Mr. Inger-
soil’s talk, as he described it, was in the
grandest prayer ever uttered by nun, to
be found in the grandest tragedy ever
written, “Kink Lear.” It was when the de
mented old Kin gprayed tor those out in
the storm and for those who had not felt
the smile of fortune. There was something
altogether wrongs thought CoL Inget-
soll, when there was so much poverty
and so much wealth concentrated in sep
arate hands.
“No man can own five mfiliona of dol-
tars—the dollars own him,” said the
speaker. “H3 becomes the key to the safe
in which the shining pile is hoarded. He
is np in the morning early to see that his
fortune is safe, and he stays up late at
night to see that no one gathers it io. He
loses his fixend,his horpe becomes asafe
deposit vault and be- is misenblo in his
surroundings. What would yon think of

The result of the calculation on toe
orbit of the comet recently discovered
by Professor Barnard was announced
from the Dudley observatory last week.
It should he remembered that this celes
tial wanderer is not the one whose iden
tity with Davis’ comet was pointed out
several days ago; hut it is a brighter one,
visible just before sunrise. It is be
lieved to be making its first to our sys
tem, as no comet like it has been recorded
for centuries past

tions. The comet ta at present 200,000,-
000 miles from the earth and is growing
ipidly brighter. It is already half as
bright again as it was at discovery, six
days ago, and by the middle of Decem
ber will be twenty-two times ss bright

An Appeal for Cluveriua.
In the course of s few days Governor
Lee will be requested to examine the
case of Cluverius. A strong appeal will
be made to him to commute the death
sentence to imprisonment for life.
To feel the public pulse the Rich
mond Dispatch has interviewed at ran
dom one hundred citizens. Of this num
ber seventy favor commutation and thir
ty are emphatically of the opinion thst the
prisoner should hang. It ia a significant
tact that the tadiea, who are generally
found on the side of mercy, are in this
ingtsnoe almost solidly arrayed against
Cluverius. They believe thst if he did
not kill Lillian Madison, he blasted her
life and is responsible for her death. So
they want him hanged on general prin-
cip es, as it were.
Those who favor commutation declare
that the evidence did not make out the
charge of murder. They believe that
Cluverius was with Miss Madison on the
fatal night, and their theory is that the
girl quarreled with her companion,
threatened suicide, and was violently re
strained by him, but succeeded in break
ing away and throwing herself into the
reservoir. Then Cluverius fled, and his
sense of guilty responsibility has since
kept his lips sealed.
The appeal for mercy will he made in
a way that will test Governor Lee’s judg
ment and firmness to the utmost For
tunately he is not deficient in these qual
ities.
