COTTON COMING IN that Colonel Livingston ooosiders the resolution harmless, and places still an v other interpretation upon it. Colonel Livingston has been my per sonal friend for a number of yean, and I have stood by him in times of adver sity, advell as prosperity, hot I frank ly say that be is not the proper person to interpret the Alliance resolution on the railroad question. If the legislature is in doubt as to the interpretation of the Al liance resolution, let them get the views of Everett, Ellington, Corpnt, Gilmore and others, the men who led the fight and bad the measure adopted. As for myself, I do not see how there could be any trouble in interpreting the Alli ance resolution, which reads: •‘That the State Alliance, in convention as sembled, do demand from the present general assembly some law which Im mediately and effectually enforces the provisions of the above paragraph of tfag constitution.” This resolution means that the people, speaking through the Alliance^ have declared that the West Point Terminal it viola- tine the taw, aad that the peCple de- THIS IS FUNNY.

September 5th, 1891. To the Editor of The Journal: . I aee through the columns of the press that the Judiciary committee of the bouse has given a hearing to prominent' railroad men, and paid at torneys of same, in opposition to the Berner bin. I have yet to learn qf any one appearing before the committee in advocacy of the measure, bat I have no doubt Mr. Berner will, at the proper time, appear and posh aside all neb weak and frivolous arguments need- by these railroad men, who admit that the legislature is authorised by the consti tution to pass the Berner bill, but claim it is expedient, as it would destroy the values of railroad property in Georgia. | It mhdi high time that this thread bare argument of railroad managers and attorneys should be done away with. When the railroad commission I was established by the state it was claimed that it would destroy the rail roads, and then again, before the inter state commerce act passed tin railroads of the United States employed the J5J r policemen were dragging Dr. \ j „ r y out of the drug store by *nd he was fighting for all lrtS worth.

One thing is certain, if this legislature does not bring the in dictment, the people will send one to Atlanta next year who will obey their oommandt. 1 see another bill has been introduced by Mr. Pope of Oglethorpe by request no the railroad question, known as the Livingston compromise measure. No doubt, Mr. Editor, at the proper time, yob will let the public know its purpo ses and drift. To my mind it bears the stamp of a railroad attorney’s office.

Several years ago the rail roads of Georgia claimed they would be ruined if ;they bad not the power of ap peal to the courts from the decision of the commission. I The three instances cited above should serve.to convince the legislature that railroad managers and attorneys can lay ho claim to being} prophets, «wi here we find them to-day, opposed to a hill which declares only that the courts *h*ll decide as whether the railroads have violated or not tbeir charters and | the organic law of the state. These railroads were perfectly wiltiag to go into courts when they wished the legis lature to pass an act by which they could appeal from the decision of the commissioners, as they well knew, by the passage of such an act, they could throttle the people, as the contest would be as a giant against a pigmy, but they A FAVORABLE REPORT Will be Given to the Berner BID.

This was decided tonight by the general Judi ciary committee by a veto of 8 to 7. •.Somelittle discussion was entered, into and Mr. Goodwin, of Fulton coun ty, offered a substitute which was re viewed as sort at compromise measure, and was defeated. The Bill reported is the substitute prepared by Mr. Berner and was the same as the original Bill, except that the penalty of forfeiture of charier was eliminated. This is one feature that has been strongly fought by the railroads. is being accomplished by Evangelist Tilman and his faithful co-workers. Cols. W. W. Stark and B. L* J.
