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.

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.
