DO YOUR DUTY.
An appeal is being made to tbe
people of the South by the governors
of the various Southern states for
contributions for a fund to be used
for tbe support of the widow and
daughter of Jefferson Davis. To say
that such appeal is scarcely neces
sary is but to express what is actual
ly true of our Southern people. Many
times our people, actuated by love
such as has never before been given
by gratitude to greatness, have been
on the point of raising for the support
ot Mr. Davis a fund which by its
pricceliness should be a fit testimo’-
niai of our esteem; but each time
such a thing bas beeu mentioned,the
self-denying lips,now cold and silent
in death,have requested that no such
action be taken.
Jefferson Davis is gone now, how
ever, and, while we in sorrow weep
over our loss, let- us remember those
loved ones who were left unprovided
for,as a result of the devotion of their
| husbar.d and father to the Southern
cause.
What will Athens do?
When a Confederate Home was to
be built in Atlanta a year ago, Ath
ens gave of her substance over two
thousand dollars to that purpose,
more than -any other Georgia city
outside of Atlanta. Let us da as
well in this equally noble eaase, to
which oar attention is now called;
and when in the weeks to* come, we
shall see a sum amply adequate, pre
sented for the support of the family
of our dead hero,we shall rest serene
in the consciousness that we have
done our duty.
A NEEDED REFORM-
The Atlanta Constitution
tained a day or so ago an interview
with Mr. W. H. Turner, that shows
a most terrible and deplorable' state
of affairs with regard to'the prisons
of our State. Mr, Turner bas the
duty of carrying, from the county
jails tothe penitentiary, those con
victed of penitentiary offences ; and
with the rare opportunities which he
has had for observation, he tells a
story which is a blot upon the eivili
zaiion of the State. Mr. Turn« r
tells qf jails in our State, oh which
vermin crawl over the fldors and
over the unhappy prisoners, where
snakes drag their slimy, lengths over
tbe terrified forms of those awaiting
trial in the courts. He tells of jails
where the prisoners are allowed to
go for hours without water, and
where they can obtain this life-pre
serving fluid only by goiDg to the
grated windows and asking the
passers-by to take pity on their
burning thirst, and to bring them a
little wheiewitb they may relieve
their suffering. An instance is given
of a party who upon conviction was
told by his attorney that he could
get a new trial ; but he refused’
saying that he would prefer to go to
the peniteutiary, rather than spend
another month.in the county jail.
In mauy of the jails the 'lood, and
even the water-—the cheapest of all
God’s gifts—are foul beyond de
scription ; and men and women are
huddled on a common cell, without
regard to the laws of decency and of
the State. The sheriff or jailor, in
many cases, lives miles from the jail,
and before he can reach it, the pris
oners have been known to lose their
lives by fire, or to suffer horribly
from thirst or hunger. Filth and
pollution abound, and Ibe floors of
our county jails are often cess-pools
in which scurvy, revolting diseases
of every kind, and death in its most
horrible form, lurk for their victims.
Tbe whoie affair is too terrible for
contemplation.
NOT TO BE AVOIDED.
1 liere are indications at Washing
ton, says the Boston Herald, of a de
siie to put the tariff issue in the
background. The President, of
course, does not treat it with defin
iteness of committal. He avoids
doing this as regards all public mea»
sures of great importance where
courage of opinion is required. The
secretary of the treasury, who is less
timid in his treatment of points gen
erally, can find nothing more explicit
say concerning the tariff than
to
Eoough that a human being be
subjected to severe punishment,
when he has been proven guilty by
the courts, but when be is confined
in jail, awaiting trial, and when he
may thus be as innocent of the crime
charged as an unborn babe, it is re
volting, it is horrible, it is unpar
donable that he shonld be made to
undergo terrors and tortures such as
even the days of the Inquisition and
tbe Bastile would have been asbams
ed of. When* Dives lay suffer
ing in the depths of hell, be raised
his eyes to Lazaros, reclining in
heaven, and asked for a drop of wa
ter to cool his parched tongue ; and
this most terrible punishment, that
of thirst, which evfp hell itself re^
sorts to as an extreme penalty, the
Georgia jailer, by his carelessness
and criminal negligence, inflicts up
on tbe prisoners in bis charge. Just
tice is mighty, but it derives its
strength only from its twin sisters,
Wisdom and Moderation. When it
begins to lose these latter character*,
istics, it becon^ps but a shadow of its
former self.
We Tejoice that Clarke county has
a jail of which none of the above is
true. Let us hope, however, that
steps will be taken by out Legisla
ture, whereby penalties shall be at
tached to those whojare negligent in
the case of the prisoners in their
ckarge,.thus becoming criminal in
tbe highest degree. Let us have a
prison inspector appointed by tbe
State, whose duty it shall be to ex#
amine all tbe prisons of tbe State,
and to make changes, radical though
they may be, whenever it is neces
sary for tbe good of those so vitally
affected.
that protection to home industry
should be a governing consideration
in adjusting its amended details.
Very different kinds of taiiff maj'
be arranged under this rule. It does
not necessarily endorse the tariff
biil introduced into the Senate of
con- tbe last Congress ; while on the o.h
er hand there is nothing in it to in
form the country as lo the views of.
the secretary uppn the imporianl
features advocated by taiiff reform^
ers, such as the freeing of wool, iron,
lumber and salt, from the heavy tax
es which now are put upou them.
We find symptoms that the leading
men of the Republican party appre
ciate the rebuke that their tariff poll-
icy has received in the late elections.
They seem to have reached the con
clusion that the Senate bill, which
was supposed, when it was introdu
ced, to be a panacea for tariff trou
bles, will not now do. Beyond that
they have not advanced.
Legislation on the subject of the
silver currency and on that of the
elections in the southern states is in
the mean time brought into-a promi
nence which, in the opening of Con-
giess, seems at least to be interded
to place the tariff in the background.
We doubt if it succeeds. These are
subjects to be considered, and they
have their ow;n importance. The
country is likely to take a considera
ble interest in them, and it is alto
gether desirable that they shall be
intelligently discussed and acted up
on. But they cannot push the tariff
question out of sight. They cannot
make it of minor importance. It is
tbe previous question in thisjrespect.
It is the question which has been
longest neglected in legislation. It
he question that most closely af
fects the business of the country—
the general welfare of the people.
This includes not only the men who
control the production and conduct
the exchanges of the land, but those
also who labor in the work-shops
and on the farms of our nation are
those to whom it appeals.
The tariff must be settled, in tbe
first place, because the tariff is over
taxation. The history of the world
doe3 not afford an instance of a peo
ple gratuitously overtaxed as ours
have been. They have been, and
they are, taxed to raise money that
neither the government nor any one
else wants to use—money which leg
islators have to exercise ingenuity
to waste, or, worse, to appropriate for
mischievous purposes. The tariff
must be changed to dispose of this
surplus. The President finds this
so plain that he ventures to commit
himself upon that point. He pro
poses to get rid of it by going into
the internal revenue. He will posi
tively have tobacco relieved of taxa
tion, and perhaps he will have a por
tion of the tax on spirits removed.
But beyond these there is still the
revenue from customs. No one bas
the hardihood to say that in dealing
with the surplus only the internal
revenue is to be drawa upon.
Aside from this, the tariff question
has reached a stage in which it has
become more than a question of
disposing of „the surplus revenue.
In that point of view the tariff should
have been changed long ago. But,
as the present tariff has continued
to operate, it has become more bur
densome with each yfcar. Always
oppressive to the people generally, it
has, of late, been found to bear with
peculiar heaviness upon a class whom
it was ostensibly framed to aid. Tbe
manufacturers of the land them
selves have suffered from it. The
essence of protection is, of course,
partiality. There may be a reasona
ble partiality, which will chiefly pro
tect the American manufacturers
against foreign competition, or there
may be another kind of partiality
which kills the business of one class
of Americans by affording undue
protection to tbe business of another
kind of Americans. All extreme
protective tariffs are sure to have
this latter effect, first or last. The
present extreme protective tariff has
at length reached a point at which
tlie American manufacturers against
whom it discriminates can endure its
effects no longer. The tariff ques
tion will not down until their claims
are considered.
The attention of the people gen~
eraily has been drawn to the tariff ia
the last two years as it ha3 not been
for a full generation. Their interest
in it has been increasing with every
month during* that period. In the
study they have thus given to it,they
have had an education which is of
the highest value. Its effect is
shown in the groat change of public
opinion that has been wrought dur—
ing that time. All this cannot be
set aside at the fiat of politicians
who find it an inconvenient or em
barrassing issue for their own pur
poses. It must go on to its legiti
mate end, which is the reform of the
tariff bn the liberal principles of
modern enlightenment in political
economy, and in accordance with tbe
reasonable claims both of tlie bnsi*
□ess and the labor of the country.
The silver question is not one in
which there is any wrong in which
any portion of the people are suffer
ing. Ibe national election move
ment is chiefly a political Behemc.
But.the tariff* is a vital present issue.
It is an issue for which the people
have been preparing for years, and
which they^are in a temper to insist
sfcall be settled. The politicians
will do well to heed the people’s at
titude with regard to it.
LET IT BE RAISED.
There can be no doubt now, bat
that there will be a monument raised
to the memory of Jefferson Davis in
tbe South. The fund has already,
been started, and is increasing in.
wonderful proportions each day*
There is no telling what city will
claim the monument, but flfibm the
present outlook it would seem that
Atlanta wilL lay a just claim to it.
This city has brought upon itself a
great deal of applause for the prompt
manner in which it took up the
fund, and the liberality it is showing
in the furtherance of that fund.
But wherever it is placet!, let the
mbirtiment be laised. It will stand
not only in memory of Mr. Davis*
but of the Lost Cause, of which he
was chosen leader, and for which he
suffered mneh.
We have no doubt but that the ne
cessary amount to raise a monument
to the memory of Mr. Davis, could
be raised easily in almost every
arge city in tbe Southern States,
and this we would like to see acconi-
plished. The press has pledged its
support tothe work, and will further
the effort to raise the fund as far as
its power goes.
Let the people of Georgia do their
part of the work. Let subscriptions
be opened all over the State, and let
the people of the South raise a shaft
that will in some way represent their
love for the grand old man.
THE DAVIS FUND.
The Boston Herald has the foU
lowing to say with regard to the
fund that is being raised in the
South for the support of Mr. Davis’
family :

down South for the relief of the family of Jefi
Davis, who, it appears, have been left in rath

handsome figure ia*a very short spice of time
This is scarcely to be wondered at, considerini;
the chivalrous feeling that warms tbe bear’s of
the people of the South,and if the fund shou?d
be locreaa d by subscriptions fiom the North

Northern editor to a Northern people
without prejudice.
