BILL ARP’S LETTER.
And Why iho Pcoplo nnd iho Courts
So Diligently Pursue Them.
The Constitution intimateb thas this l>?ing
an off year in politics nnd no oleotiona to be
held and therefore no demaROffUts to ride, tho
anti-rail road hobby will be allow© l a butter
chance to ninko a living. Wo hope so, and we
hope that thiro in a healthy reaction going on
in tho public mind concerning thorn. Il ian
at range and hateful apccl ado to s:© how theso
great commercial inuus rios of tho atato are
hawed at and almost oruahed bv invidious
leghlation. Why 1« it that Biioh men as Thomas
and Fink and Green and Comer and Hanson
have to go before tho commission and ns tho
Constitution says, “bog for life?’’
Their freight rales reduced 4i per cent with
in twolve years and tboir not earnings fnrotd
down to nn average of 1 ss than 8 per omit, on
the c.ipilai stock, what duos it mean? Aro our
people unfriendly to railroads because of any
harm they have dono u-V Wo old pcoplo ro
member when tho Central and tho Georgia and
tho Stato roads were tho pride of tho fanners
and the merchants who lived along tho I n s,
atad it waH a rare tiling for a heavy damage
suit to ho brought against thorn. \Ve remem
ber when tho faro was 6 conts ft mi'c, and tho
freight rates doublo what they am now, there
was no persecution, no lawyers running in ho'
haste to tho wrecks to pet up cost s against
them, no strikes of engineers, no fat lures to
meet tho inteiest on their bonds or to pay tho
usual dividend of 8 per cent, per annum on
their ttock. Everything was peaceful and
prosperous then, and tho pcoplo were filoudly
and content. What is tho matter now? Major
Green says the Georgia railroad cannot, at nro. -
cut rates, earn more than 3 per cent and yet
tho lessee has to pay 11 por cent to tho stock
holders. Well, of course, tho stockholder is
not complaining, hut is this continual reduc
tion of tlm rates just to Iho railroads or 1 heir
losscos. What other industry or bu-i-
itcss is so hedged in and bridled
by unfriendly legislation? Who says
that tho gioat merchants of Atlanta and
Macon sell their goods too high and they rlittli
mako lower prices? Who limits the manufac
turer or tho fanners or tho m'n rsin tho prices
of their products? On wlmt prino'plo does flu*
discrimination against railro ids come in? Ho
they not servo all branches of industry nnd
oommoroi ? Could tho pcoplo got along with
out them? Have they not reduced tho cost of
living to us nil? Then what is the matter?
Why aro more than half tho roads in Georgia
in tho hands of receivers? llecoivors \> hoso
certificates aro bettor tlnti tho stock or the
bonds! Certificates that gradually undormiuo
tho stock and wipo out and then undermine tho
bonds and wine them out and finally a sale is
ordered by tho court and tho whole concern
passes into now hands nnd tho money it brought
is all consumed in tho .receiver's cortifloan s.
and the charges of tho courts and the lawyers’
fe<s. There aro ns many jobs and per
quisites and professional emn uments in tho
windup ns there were in tho Jtyan oaso that
took $50,000 for court expenses and left $87,-
000 for tho creditors.
Whenever a railroad or anythingelso falls in
to tho bauds of a receiver tho average creditor
may sing, “Farewell, vain world, i’m going
home.”
Tl oro aro many kinds of wreokors in this
world who watch uuil wait, for somo stranded
vessel to coine nslioro in a storm ho that they
may 10b tho dead and grab tho cargo, hut why
the stuto should holp to crush her own rail
roads is a mystery to in -. It is mortifying to
our sense of justioo ami the eternal fitness of
things to see snob honorablo and brainy gentle
men as thoso who represent our railroads down
almost on their knees before the railro id coin-
mission and “hogging for life.” Why, it hasn't
been many months since a poworful political
pjrt.v made a public declaration that it favored
tiio seizure of all tho railroads and thoir opera
tions by tho national government. Dema
gog! s started that, and soino of them rode into
office upon it, Tho tiino was when strikes and
boycott were unknown in tho south,
hut now most every department of labor 1ms
its organization for self-protection, just as
though all tho rout of mankind wore thoir ene-
mioH. Contracts are made and broken at their
pleasure and at their pleasure they “walk out”
and tho wheels of busino-s must slop until they
get moro concessions. We sou that one federal
judge up north Iioh had tho nerro to say to
them, '• ‘thus fur slialt thou go and no further.’
You may breik your own contract hut you shall
not interfere with other roads nor intimidate
thoir workmon. Commerce must go on.”
Why this pursuit of railroads by the people,
tho courts, tho Juries, tho legislature? Why
theHO fit quont and enormous verdicts for dam
ages? A few days ago there were four men
blown up and killed at a lime quarry near hero.
There was a premature explosion because of a
defect in iho fuso, or tho cap or something,
or maybo from carelessness of the work men.
Will their kindred sue for damages? No. hut
if they had been killed on a train that Boomed
to ho safe, and thoro was a broken rail ora bo it
broken, or a tap lod, or something
elso wrong that human foresight could
not discover, tho legal wreckers would
ho on hand us soon as tho cor
oner, and in duo time the courthoim: walls
would echo with tho same old tearful heart
rending speeoli that pictures to tho jury “tho
criminal recklessness of theso monsters of
power that come thundering down the rails.”
Not long ago an Atlanta Jury gave
$800 damages to an engineer hecau-o
ho sprained his ankle in slipping
down from the lcoomotive tint he ran.
Tilt step had gotten loose and turned with him
as ho descended. Last year tire Western and
Atlantic railroad sotUod with a negro woman
for tho death of her husband. 8ho had Jived
with him for sixteen years and was the mother
of Ids children,but another woman bos brought
suit because she “was his just wife and ho took
and left her.” Anything is sufficient for a
case against a railroad. When will this pros
ecution he stopped or ho mitigated? What
I ieculiar or exclusive rights or pr
lavo railroads or other corporations
other people havo not got? There was a time
when common carriers had some exclusive
privileges, hut now—am body can transport
freighter passengers, anybody can Lm Id a rail
road anywhere and can encroach npon another
road and take part of Its right of way. John
Anderson k»epa good horses and carriage a and
sends tho drummers to and fro, but if his team
should ho frightened und Hpill iho drummer in
the road and break his leg.is the drummer going
to sue John Anderson? No! Where does tho
difference coino in? both Anderson and tho
railroads uso all foresight and all tho diligence
they can. if any difference should ho made by
the law, it should be made in favor of the r&il-
roads, for the public can’t possibly get along
without them, if a stock law is right to pro
tect farmers and save fencing, how much moro
is it right to protect tho lives of passengers on
a train from being derailed and killed by reas
on of emtio on the track. John Andeison
should drive around tho cow hut tho cow
should keep ofY the railroad. 'J his is common
senso and common justice. Tho wonder of it
all ia that anybody would tako stock in a Geor
gia railroad, considering tho limitations and
persecutions that surround them. The won
der is that some of them do not throw up tho
sponge and surrender their chai tern, ami this
thing will happen some of these dajs. Then
waat atjowi mere would oe among tlio people
along the line. Just imagine it. Tho cars
stopped running. No riding to Atlanta or Au
gusta or Macon. Everybody penned up at
home. Havo to hire a hers© and buggy
and pay 10 cents a nii’e and lose two whole
Jays to go thirty miles. Oh, my country,
from such a calamity mav tho good Lord de

A nori'Eii aim a won lmd an interest
ing mutual surprise party to themselves
in tlio hills near Helena, Montana, a few
days ago. The hunter, arrayed in i
heavy wolf-skin overcoat, fur side out
ward, was examining some traps sot th<
previous night. He was stooping ovei
one, rearranging the bait, when there
was the sound of a fierce growl and ;
heavy weight fell suddenly on his back,
bearing him to the. ground, so that he
barely missed being caught in his own
trap. He managed to shake himscll
free, and recovering his feet found facing
him a full-grown buffalo wolf. Th<
wolf seemed quite as much surprised ai
the hunter, and they looked at each
other for some seconds before the fight,
which ended in the death of the wolf,
begau. The brute evidently was fooled
by the overcoat and the hunter’s stoop
ing position, and mistook him fot
another wolf.
Among tlio Laos, a people inhabiting
a district of Siam, the chewing of a prep
aration ended “moing” is almost uni
versal, the practice being especially
esteemed by those whoso labor brings
great bodily fatigue. Recent inquiry
shows that this delicacy is prepared from
the Assam tea plant of commerce.
