A GOOD MOVEMENT.
The Board of Education has acted
wisely in establishing a normal train
ing department in the public schools
in which all who desire to become
teachers in our schools may receive
thorough normal training. This de
partment will be under the supervis
ion of Supt. Bond, and will cost the
city nothing additional whatever.
Yet, it will fill a necessary want and
■will result in the accomplishment of
great good among the teachers. It
is a movement directed solely to the
good of our echeo’s and will cost
- neither the city nor the teachers de*
riving benefits from it one additional
dollar.

Georgia than the establishment and

In this city, deserves an appropria

but the results to be attained will be
great. It is false economy on the
part ol the Georgia law makers to
withhold an appropriation for this

Georgia that should have been made
long since. Our judges are too poor
ly paid and it has always been a
weak spot about the judicial system
of the state. We should have our
best jurists upon the bench ot
Georgia, and in fact the judges iu
Georgia are among the
best lawyers iu the state,
but it is not right to expect their
services for the small sum of money
now paid them. There is not a judge
upon the bench in Georgia today but
who could make much more money
in the practice, of his profession and
it is a wonder that the State is able
to retain in its service as many able
jurists as it does. The sum proposed
as the increased salary bv the bill is a
small enough one but that increase
is at least a move in the right direct
ion. Let the bill pass the General
Assembly and become a law. It will
improve the judicial system of the
Sta'e and will better compensates

vants.

THE WORK OF A CRANK,
xhe murder of Carter H. Harrison,
mayor of Chicago, by a crank named
Frendergast last Saturday night was
one of the most startling events of
the year. It fell like a thunderbolt
upon the great city that had honored
him with the distinguished position
of major five times, and a pall of
gloom settled over the entire city.
Mr. Harrison was the most popular
man in the great western metropolis
and had a stronger hold upon the
affections of his people tb an any man
in the city. His assassination bnt
the more strongly reveals the neces
sity of the law making some proviso
ion for the better handling of jnst
such men as Prendergast. Men of
of that stripe should net be allowed
to run at large, and it is only to be
regretted now that he was not incar
cerated by those who knew some
time Bince that he was angry at
mayor Harrison for not appointing
him city attorney. The affair is a
terrible ending for the Columbian
Exposition and one that must of
neoesaity be long remembered by our
people.
SENSATIONAL ARTICLES.
It would be interesting to know to
what degree the mind of the
murderous crank who slew Mayor
Carter Harrison was influenced by
the Chicago newspapers. During
the last municipal campaign Mr
Harrison was viciously assailed by
every daily newspaper in the.city,
with one Exception, and called a
crank, a rascal, a hypocrite, a dem-
agogoue, a friend of thieves, mur
derers and toughs, a usurer, and
almost] everything gelse that a poli
tician may be called by those who
oppose his election. The newspapers
did all of these things for
political effect*, they did
not mean to convey the idea that
Mr. Harrison was a lawless and alto
gether depraved character. But if
Pendergast is the weak-minded per
son he is reputed to be, would not
such publication tend to lower his re
gard for the life of the man so terri
bly assailed, and would it be more
than natural that he should think
the authorities would not deal harsh
ly with a man who took it upon him
self to remove such a Menace to law
and society as the papers pictured
the candidate for mayor to be? Sen
sational newspaper articles and pic
tures are undoubtedly responsible
for a great many crimes committed
by weakminded persons.—Savannah
News.
PROMISE OF SUFFERING.
The approach of winter brings
promise of Buffering to thousands on
the Cherokee strip, who staked every
thing on the race and lost. It is es
timated that 15,000 persons that
made the run into the strip did not
gel-any land. Most of this number
have gone away, but there ere hun
dreds of others who could not go, and
who, homeless, moneyless, and
friendless, are picking up a ecan’y
living for themselves and families
precariously. Many of these peep’e
are sick and without medical attend
ance, and the mortality among them
will be 'great, it is feared, unless
some external assistance be extended
to them. It has been possible for
them to exist through the warm
weather, but winter threatens them
frightfully.
That the strip opening was mis
managed is generally admitted, and
a congressional inquiry is l’kely
to be instituted. How much misery
in the new territory is due
to the misrepresentations and favor
itism shown to tooghs and soon-
era will perhaps be brought out in
the investigation. But whatever
may be the result of the inquiry, if
it takes place, there is no doubt that
a great many families are in a
destitute state, as a result of mis
conception, whoever is to blame for
it. There is nothing surprising in
distress in a newly settled country,
but that is no consolation to the peo
ple who are crying so deep irately,
for help -—Macon News.

Covington Star: About 160 wagon
loads of cotton seed were brought to
town on Saturday last, and most of
them were sold for 22)£ cents per
bushel. Mr. Cap. Coogler informed the
Star that he bought 40 loads of seed at
one time, ft was the biggest lot of
ootton seed we have ever seen brought
to town in one day. The amount paid
out for seed during the day is reported
to be about $2,600.
Columbus Eaquirer-Sun: The Con
federate dead at Clarkesville,. Tenn.,
now sleep under a new shaft of Ver
mont marble. It ought to make those
herees turn over in their graves. With
vast quarries of fine marble at home,
and with vast quarries near at hand in
North Georgia and Alabama, we can
not underttand why the .Monament
Association at Clarkesville should have
preferred New England marble for the
memorial shaft.
Savannah News: Ex^Speaker Reed,
of Maine, regards the literary education
of the negro as a matter of secondary
importance. He says what the negro
needs to be taught is how to work and
hoW to appreciate property interests
and the value of a stable government.
The more interesting thing about this
statement is that Mr. Beed made it in
Boston, where the prevailing opinion
is that the negro oonld the better work
ont his destiny if he were taught to ap
preciate Homer, Browning and Haw
thorne.
Macon Telegraph: “The plan is very
simple. It provides that when the
judge of any oircuit is informed that
the orime of rape has been committed
within the jurisdiction of his court he
shall at once call an extra term of the
circuit court to be held in the township
where the crime was committed. The
accused shall be immediately arrigned
for trial, and if convicted by a jury
legally empauneled from the citizens of
tbe township, the judge shall have the
power to order his instant execution by
the Sheriff. The acoused is to have tbe
benefit of counsel.
THE HOMICIDAL CRANK*
The number of murders committ
* cd by homicidal cranks constitutes
an appalling proportion of the crimes
of the day. In a few cases illustrious
victims fall by the hands of this
class of assassins. Two presidents
have been murdered by men of badly
regulated- minds acting under a
maniacal impulse.
Something should be done to pro»
tect individuals and society from
these dangerous men. There is no
snob thing as a harmless lunatic.
A man laboring nnder delusions is
liable at any time to feel the impulse
of a murderous delusion. The snici
dal mania is only a different form
-of the homicidal mania. In one case
the murderer destroys his own life
in the other case he destroys the
lives of others. It is simply a mad
desire to kill, and the maniac acting
under a homicinal impulse is sure to
seek some amiable, useful or. distin
guished man for his victim.
The class of cranks whose brood'
ing thoughts tend toward murder is
numerous. They are a menace to so
ciety. Pendergast had symptoms of
dangerous intentions.—Chicago Her-

REPEAL WINS.
There is no donbt now as to the
unconditional repeal of the Sherman
law. The Senate has passed the
Voorhees bill and it goes back to the
House for concurrence. The House
will concur in that action and it will
hen become a law by the affxiig
of the signature of the executive.
The fight of the people against
monometallism has been lost, bnt
Democracy still has this much con
solation in its defeat, that a majority
of the democratic Senators are on
record against the unconditional re
peal bill.
Nineteen Southern Senators voted
with the people, of which Georgia
claims one vote. Mr. Gordon flew
the track in his vote.
Whether any good will resalt from
the passage of the Voorhees bill re
mains to be seen, and whatever may
xesnlt, good or bad, should be laid
at the doors of the administration
and the forty-three Senators who
voted for the prsssge of the bill.
The fight for free coinage should go
bravely on without cessation. It is
a just cause and will eventually
win. It may sink on one vote but
it will rise in the end
The following is the vote on the
hill as it passed the senate: Those
voting in the affirmative were:
Aldrich, Brice, Caffery, Camden,
Carey, Cnllnm, Davis, Dixon, Dolph,
Faulkner, Frye, Gatlin ger, Gibson

Savannah News: Tha*- there ought
to be a state board of health there is no
doubt; but in creating such aboard,
care should be taken not to bring into
existence a power that .would be pro
ductive of more harm than good.
What is wanted is a board of health
with liberal powers and controlled by
broad-minded and level-headed men.
The danger of getting a board that, in
the hands of incompetent men, oould
be made an 'instrument of oppression
makes .the people hesitate to urge npon
the legislature the necessity of provid
ing for a state health board.
Macon News: It is to be hoped very
much that the subject of ballot reform

eral assembly at the present assembly
sufficiently to accomplish, tbe passage

such a law not only in Bibb oounty hut
throughout the State. Frauds at the
ballot box are the cry at every election,

of a law for honest elections and a true
count. The present legislature may

He was a very itdus rious man and
vas possessed of such amiable traits of
iharacter as to win for him the esteetn
f all who knew him.
In every question of public interest
where morals were involved Mr. Bliley
vas always on tbe right side, and gMe
vhat influence he posseted to tt»
building up of a strong public sent;",
nent favorable to morality and reli

For thirty years or more he h&d teen

This affliction caused him to pass the
nest of bis later years l.t constant h-
quish and pair, ami yet he was noted
for his kindheartedness and genial g od
humor. Ia this way he was enabltd to
illustrate the religion he possessed sod
to present it in its most attractive
form.
From a child Mr. Bailey had been
