Ot TOBER 1. 1885. Tin. Atlanta Journal is an honor to its management. .May its shadow never grow le^S. Mu. Sin. I.kwis takes charge of the Sparta Ishmaelite. It had an able editor before and will have another under pres ent management. These gallant young men are worthy of the grand old name, and every blast from their bugle tells ot honest independence and courageous effort. ViHi i inia Politics. —Mr. Mahone and John Wise, are confronted by formidable foes in Virginia, and it now looks as if Fitzhugh Lee will have an easy victory. But those who think to catch the übi quitious little politician “napping” will reckon without their host. For indomi table perseverance, pluck and hold fast energy, Senator Mahone is a trump. As regards the canard about Mr. K ‘ile v s ex-Jewish wife, we are told that the Fmperor of Austria appointe-d two ex-Jews, Dr. Olaker and i)r. Unger, members >t his Cabinet and another ex- Jew, Ceil. Krons, Covernor of Bohemia; hence he has no objection to an ex-Jew. —From the American Israelite. And so the trouble was not the Jewish wife--who had turned Catholic. The Keiley question promises as much mys tery as the “Mail of the Iron Mask.” New York Politics. —Both parties have nominated for governor in the State ol'New York. Gov. Hill, who succeed ed Gov. Cleveland on the latter’s elec tion to the Presidency, was made the standard bearer of the Democrats, and Mr. Ira Davenport is the republican nominee. The race promises to be close and exciting, especially since Mr. Ros well P. Flower declined to serve on Gov. Hill’s ticket as lieutenant-governor. The most serious outlook for the cotton crop of this year is threatened just now. Torrents of rain are falling continually. The bolls are near the ground, which arc now opening, and much of the lleeey staple will he Hooded—especially in low ground—and if it does not rot on the stalk will be irretrievably damaged as to color and quality. Unless dry weather comes to its relief there will be a* falling off in yield and price from these contin ued rains. It is a matter of pride to all Georgians that those demoralizing methods, known as “the commercial policy,” never was attached to the names of Howell Cobb, Ben Hill, Alex. Stephens, or Robert Toombs.—Albany News and Advertiser. Are you “certain sure,” as the chil dren say? Some of them, we arc satis lied, were not traders in politics, but it will tie well to wait awhile before you are qualified as to what is not yet reveal ed in regard to other prominent public men who have not been subjected to the ordeal of public criticism, in the light of facts and unimpeachable testimony. Ohio Politics, —Both parties have nominated in Ohio. Gov. Headley and .1 utlge Foraker are again opposing can didates. We opine Gov. Hoadley’s chances to be the best, especially since Senator Thurman is announced to speak for him. We sincerely wish President Cleveland had given the attention to Senator Thurman that his merits war rant. He was defeated for the Senate because he antagonized Jay Gould and Huntingdon in the Pacific railroad atfair, lmt it is a sad day for a republic when a man’s honesty is not lnmored In- Ills own party. We would be glad to know he could wave his bandanna in the Senate as long as he lives, for his name is a syn onym of honesty and incorruptibility. Tuk Atlanta correspondent of the Ma con Telegraph, under date of the 21th, nit., says: “Everybody is smiling to-day about the editorial In the Constitution favoring high license. It is well known that one of the owners of that paper is very much interested in the Kimball House. The Kimball House bar is run by the Kimball House Company. Pro hibition would close that bar. High li cense would not only keep it open but would run out all the little bars, and Kimball House whisky would be elevated to about twenty-five cents a drink, and might be very mean at that. In this way, you see, the milk in the coeoanut is neatly accounted for!” Where, oh, where is Dr. Munhall? Come back, Doctor, and recall your wandering sheep to the fold! Between the Capitol City Club and the Hi Kimball, there is mis sionary ground it will not do to neglect. Chattanooga Commercial: “The un dertaker’s bill for services rendered at ( Jen. Grant’s funeral is #14,152.75. Mr. Merritt says his charges were no greater than they would have been for like ser vices rendered to any one else. The car riage bill alone was #5,000. The bill has lH*en forwarded to the War Department and Congress will be asked to make the necessary appropriation *<> pay the bill.” And Congress will pay it. This ex pense recalls to mind a story related by a Methodist minister of Bartow county be fore the war. He was being entertair ed at the house of an old gentleman whose son expected to marry soon. The expect ed bridegroom was very full of his ap proaching marriage, and remarked: “ I could not think of paying the officiating minister less than #*>o for his services.” The pastor stroked his chin and felt good over the prospective fee, when the old gentleman, with the utmost sang froid said, “ Pray God, son, that you don’t have to marry often at that lick.” So we think a few such funerals will satisfy the nation. UK.If SCHOOL IS CHINA . “THE ISHMAELITE axd cocrant. “Will liie papers above named and j from which we quoted two weeks ago t consider some facts and see how their comments in the papers ot the 10th and 17th, inst., respectively, agree with them, j In China there has never been a Christian >. high school for girls. In Georgia,there are now more than a dozen female col leges. China has over 300,000,000 of people—nearly all heathen—the women practically imprisoned slaves. Georgia has not 2,000,000 people—nominally Christian, and the women enjoy all the liberty and blessedness of Christian homes. Miss Laura llaj'good wants to establish one high school tor girls in China. The Anglo-Chinese University does not admit girls. Shall we wait till ever}' rural district in Georgia has a high school before we aid Miss Ilaygood to establish one high school for the missions in China?” —Wesleyan Advocate. We are glad to be offered an opportu nity to make a very respectiul reply, to a civil inquiry. We are bound to the editorial staff of the Advocate by more than common ties of friendship, and we are always prepared to endorse them in every good word and work; but we sub mit that they misapprehend the point in controversy between us. We do not op pose schools lor Chinese girls. VV e are entirely willing that Miss Ilaygood should have a high school in Shanghai. We are ns anxious to see China redeem ed from darkness to light as any Metho dist In Georgia. We make issue on none of these things, nor do we feel obliged to defend our selves from what we never attacked. We did protest against expending $25,- 000 on one school house, a kind ot col lege, especially as the women in China are hardly qualified for the first grade ol a primary school. The church is now in debt, deeply involved—much of it grow ing out of the building of the Anglo- Chinese University. We thought (and think still) we could do better than to hurry-skurry all over Georgia to raise $25,000 to build another college, even if it was intended as a compliment more than a necessity, while this debt was al ready pushing the church. The treasurer of the missionary fund published an alarming exhibit in the Wesleyan Advo cate last week. The church owes to-day one hundred and twenty thousand dol lars, much of it pledged to the building of the Anglo-Chinese University. This is now due, besides the large assessment for the prosent year. The treasurer states that the prudent financiers on the board begged for less haste, less waste of money, but they were overruled by the hot-heads. We only begged for less waste of mon ey, especially when the church has such a large sum to meet at home, and the people are so needy themselves. Fine colleges and line churches are very grat ifying to us all, but like all other luxu ries, they should wait until we can af ford them. A woman in a fine silk frock with her toes sticking out of her shoes, ts a poor show, and if she went in debt for the frock when she was not able to buy a pair of shoes with cash, she is either insane or beneath contempt. Plain clothes, plain houses, plain food, suit people in debt and who are trying to work out, and we protest that fine col leges in China should wait until we pay the people we are now indebted to, and especially should we see to it that nobody suffers at home before we lavish luxuries abroad, even after our debts are paid. Whenever wc foster vanity at the ex pense of judgment we are bound to come to grief. It will be useless to state it, perhaps, but it is a fact that this year’s good crop will hardly pay for the supplies of the last three years of loss and failures We should meet the obligations that we have assumed—we should pay the people who have trusted us—then wo should try to clothe and feed those dependent on us for the coming year. We should then try to help the ignorant poor and destitute in our midst. We should try to supply our missionaries abroad with needful funds to make them comfortable, and after these things are done, if there is $25,000 in Georgia to lavish on a fine school house in China, send it over. We “want” to do many things for philan thropy and religion, but the “want” of a China high school building is only a drop in the bucket compared to the solid actual wants of suffering, perishing humanity, around and about us. GEN. TOO MBS' CRITIC A L ILLNESS. The dispatches tell us Gen. Toombs is very low and that the end is nigh. lie has lived to a good old age, and the time will necessarily be short even if he pass es away within the limit allowed to aged men. When he dies, which may occur before this paper goes to press, Georgia will have lost a true and patriotic son, who never failed her in an hour of need, and to whom her honor and good name were ever dear. lie was rash and impulsive sometimes, erred through excess of feeling, but his mistakes were patriotic mistakes. He never traded on her poverty or misfor tunes to till his pocket or to lower her standard in the eyes of the world. He was so jealous of her honor that he de spised traitors and commercial politicians with a contempt that was overwhelming and a disgust that was withering. We shall never see his like again. Afflicted with some weaknesses that injured both body and mind, he had, nevertheless, gifts that any man, living or dead, might have coveted, and his patriotic honesty is unquestioned and unquestionable. Among the most sterling newspapers in Georgia is the Brunswick Herald. It is fearless and honest. Thousands of children die under the age of live years. Why ? Physicians at tribute it to various causes, and have a vocabulary of infantile diseases too num erous to mention. Worms! Worms! Shriner’s Indian Vermifuge wiltkitypChem and restore the child.

The black smith receives more for one day’s labor, th in a cotton-chopper, because it requires more skili to lay a plough than to hoe a row of cotton. The inspection of gumo is very simple. ! It requires no skill. The inspector has a sampler, which he sticks into a sack ot i guano aud draws out of the sack about one tablespoontul and empties into a pint bottle. He pierces enough sacks with his sampler to fill his bottle, which he corks up, numbers it, keeps a record of the number and sends the bottle to the State chemist for analysis. He thus in spects the several brands of guano put upon the market. What skill is required for this? The labor is very light and the time occupied very small. There are six men employed by the Commissioner of Agriculture at salaries from $1,200 to $1,500 per year. There are perquisites besides that enable some of the inspectors to realize $3,000. The work is or can be done in three months; the skill required is such as is possessed by clerks that labor from Christmas to Christmas on salaries of three or four hundred and farmers that do not realize SIOO for a year’s labor. Such are the services performed and such are the salaries paid. Who pay the sa'aries? The burdened farmers of Geor gia, as they use the guano. About $lO,- 000 is paid by the farmer of Georgia an nually for the inspection of fertilizers by the direction of the Commissioners of- Agriculture. The State chemist makes the analysis. This requires skill and is meagerly paid for. The inspection requires but little skill and is paid too much for the labor. Ought this to be so? Every inspector is a skillfull manipulator of county politics, or the son of a skillful wire-worker. The older inspectors are not business men in other respects, which one may suppose from the manner in which they managed their own affairs. Ido not suspect them of wanting in skill to inspect, but Ido object as a farmer and tax payer to pay so much for work that might be done for one thousand dollars as efficiently as it is done. The Commissioner of Agriculture can have it done for one thousand dollars, and save nine thousand dollars to the tax payers of Georgia. If we have to pay the ten thousand in taxes, pray let it goto some public enter prise in which all the State is benefitted — not do pay the henchmen of the agricul tural bureau.—Alfred S. Franklin in Telegraph and Messenger. If these things are true, it is high time something was done for the relief of the farmers. This tax comes solely out of that class, und it is a heavy one, when you consider how many taxes they are forced to pay besides. I t really looks to us as if the farmers of Georgia have no showing in public affairs. With lawyers to make the laws, providing a law to suit every particular case that promises a fat fee, there is no end to the crooks and turns that catch the unwary, to get their money. The fanner is not exempt from a single regular tax, and yet a3 a class they are liable to this special tax, every cent of which comes out of their hard work. Let anybody take a circuit of five miles around us here, go into the hum ble homes that are a scene of daily toil from the first day of January to the last day of December, and watch the heavy, hard licks it takes to make “buckle and tongue” meet; and these uncalled for extra taxes would provoke a saint. Why not allow this money to stay in the pock ets of those who literally dug it out of the earth ? The whole tendency of the age drifts towards consolidation of capital and the impoverishment of labor. We see no remedy unless the farmers unite for self-protection. It has been the rule in Georgia, to raise the bloody shirt and cry “nigger," whenever anybody tried to afford relief in a national way, but, thank the Lord, the Yankees have found that ensanguined garment a failure for the first time since the war, and the South will find It out also, when the next deal is made. Common sense should take the place of sectional tomfoolery, and it be hooves the people to sec that they have justice. A CAT IN TEE MEAL TUB. Some days ago Mr. Kingsberry, an at torney for the Savannah, Florida and Western Railroad Company, wrote a let ter to the Greensboro Herald, authoriz ing said editor to publish favorable com ments for the railroad bill, as against the Commission, and the said attorney then proposed to pay or “remit,” if the arti cles were favorable. Now, we •would like to know whose money he uses to pay or “remit” with? If the Herald editor had tilled one col umn—two or three columns —with “fa vorable” comments, was it likely to be a cheap bargain for Mr. Ivingsberry’s employees? Who is trying to bribe? Alas! Alas!! The sly attorney proposed to take the Herald editor up into a high place and show him something, and that something was money—so much printing for so much bribe. Money was to be used with the Herald to prejudice the public against the Railroad Commission, and to favor a railroad encroachment bill. Yet the Constitution of Georgia is fierce , upon men who thus seek to control pub lic opinion, and in our opinion if the law had been enforced as it deserves to be, we would now see fewer “favorable” comments in the newspapers than we do. This is not the first time public opinion in Georgia has been manufactured to or der —and paid for by railroad money. In the year 1872 many thousands were spent to influence legislation and public opinion. The sums were set down and the editors named—-to their everlasting shame and confusion. That such things should be done, and such money offered, indicate a very low standard of public morals. It really looks as if the “trail of the serpent is over it all.” Aside from the lack of pa triotism —from the low instincts that would make a newspaper editor thus be tray his constituency—there is the get ting of money under false pretenses, which all honest people would shun like a leper's touch. A newspaper that makes filthy mer chandize of its good name is unworthy of success or of decent respect. Too much credit cannot be bestowed on the Herald, which had the nerve to face not only a bribe, but the patriotism to put its contemporaries on notice of the “ cat in the meal tub.” Fruit I’owder at Curry’s. THE BA ILROA I) BILL. Before this week closes —aye, perhaps before The Courant reaches you—it will be settled whether the present Legis lature intends to subject the labor of this country to corporations and if the people are to be left helpless at the mercy of railroad syndicates, or whether railroads are to be made amenable to justice and fair dealing. The State gave the rail roads such advantages in right of way and charters that they have driven out every public conveyance but their cars. They were granted these privileges un der the stipulation that they give the pro ducers and the travelling public fair and honorable treatment. This they did not do. Georgia, by a constitutional act, re quired them to lower these rates, and they have continued to make fortunes while the present depression is driving the producers into poverty, and the bulk of this class of citizens now live on mortgaged farms, and scuffle for an ex istence. The railroads have filled the Legisla ture with men who are seeking promo tion at the hands of wealth and corpora ted power, and we wait to see if these men elected under the promise to deal justly by the laboring class shall forge chains of slavery for us and our chil dren. We are now compelled to pay transportation rates that not only afford a handsome income to railroad magnates, but which pay* a tremendous profit to be re-inKSttfedt Compare this condition of things with the producing class. Hon. A. 11. Steph ens never said a truer tiling than that “Georgia grows poorer every day”—and the railroads are growing richer hourly. It would be well for legislators to re member that the people are not fools. There will be a day of reckoning. May a merciful Father protect our homes, our industries, our future existence from the spoliators and their minions! AUTUMN. The summer is passed and gone. The chill breath of winter is felt around and about us. The year 1885, with its roll of crimes, losses, failures —as ivell as it hopes, pleasures and successes is drop ping behind in the march of time, and with three more short months its record will be signed, sealed and delivered to the Great Auditor of accounts —for the judgment. As we write —propped up in a sick bed—after a sharp, short struggle for life and health, the melancholy wind is sway ing the branches of the trees, sighing and sobbing as it heralds the speedy coming of an easterly storm, that even now casts its gloom and shadow over the landscape. Nature is beautiful under the soft rays of an October sun—but she is inexpressibly sad when gray clouds flit over the sky, and the wind whistles and moans as it hurries past. It was a wise man who said, “All things with which we deal, preach to us. What is a farm but a mute gospel? The chaff', the winds, the rains, blight and insects, woods and* plants,” etc. What a sermon this year’s ups and downs have been! From the first fur row itv the spring until the yellow corn is sheltered from the snows of winter! And oh! what a year of struggle in the toiling marts of life! Could we be transported to an elevation that would command a faithful insight into the homes and hearts of all about us; could we watch the struggles, the hopeless ef forts, the brave endurance, and the resig nation that would rear its modest head among weeds of noxious growth; how we would crave the boon of rest, sweet rest! If Heaven should be only Rest, how sweet the thought! If with advan cing years and increasing infirmities the soul can rest in the promise of the Father, the autumnal rays of life will be the brightest, softest, most comforting gleams that have irradiated its existence from the cradle to the grave. ATLANTA LETTER. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 29, 1885. It is not my daughter that I am still harping on but it is the bill to curtail the powers of the Railroad Commission. The railroad men have blocked action on it as much as possible, to gain time to catch their breath and win more votes. Not only are the merits of the bill used as arguments. Recognized and well known lobbyists have been on the floor of the House daily ever since the bill came from the Senate. Members of the House whose influence is enlisted in behalf of the bill, have also been very active in missionary work among their fellow members. One member tells me that on Sunday a railroad man visited him in his room and remained three hours, arguing in behalf of the bill and making strong personal appeals for the member’s influ ence. He assures me that in all his life he never, never was appealed to so strongly on personal grounds. Other means resorted to by the railroads is to get up petitions in the counties whose representatives are opposed to the bill, calling on the hostile members to obey the will of their constituents, which is that the bill be passed. lam told that in several instances the person getting up a petition received compensation for his ser vices per capita for the signers thereof. THE RAILROAD COMMITTEE Held a meeting last night. There were absent Turner of Troup, Robbe, Teasly, Lewis of Hancock, Mason, Cason, Har rell of Decatur, Word and McCants. On motion of Mr. Gustin of Bibb, the com mittee was instructed to report the bill back to the House with recommendation that it do pass, by the following vote : Yeas—Gordon, Bartlett, Dart, Simms, Langston, Abbott, McLendon, Turner of Floyd, Backsdale, Miller, Gustin, Ray, Russell.—l3. Nays —Hawks, Everett, Clay, Arn heim, Berner, Eason, Butt, Stewart, Lafley.—9. The chairman, Mr. Tate, who is op posed to the bill, did not vt>te. Mr. Ab bott, of Fulton, gave notice to the com mittee that although he had opposed a similar bill ottered earlier in the session by Mr. Harris of Bibb, he voted for a favorable report of the bill without any obligation to vote for the bill. He want ed the bill before the House as soon as possible that it might be fully discussed. I hear that Mr. Abbott will vote against the bill. Mr. Russell, of Clark, served notice on the eommitteec that he also re served the right to vote against the bill. There were two pairs absent: Mr. Wood for, with Mr. Ilarrell of Decatur against the favorable report; and Mr. Teasley for, with Mr. Turner of Troup, against, the report. Mr. Teasly occupies a very unusual position. He is entirely op posed to the bill. Ilis vote for a favora ble report of the bill, was given to ac commodate certain friends, lie does not hesitate, however, to openly declare his opposition to the bill. A STAR CHAMBER PROrOSAL. Just before the committee was called to order Mr. Gordon of Chatham, chair man pro. tern., called the only reporter present, and said to him: “I am sorry, sir, but I must tell you that you will have to retire when busi ness is begun.” The reporter replied: “No sir, I shall not leave. There are several here who are not members of the committee,” ‘‘Yes, but you are a reporter. The Constitution reporter was in here just now. I told him he could not remain and he left. You’ll have to go, too.” “But I won’t.” “Very well, then, you will compel me to pass a resolution excluding you, and I don’t want to do that; it will hurt your feelings to have to leave by request of the committee.” “Well, I cannot help what you may do about the matter. lam going to stay here unless I am put out by the com mittee.” At 8 o’clock Mr. Gordon took the chair, no said that the committee’s proceedings were always private, and as there was a reporter present, he would have to re quest him, in the name of the committee, to retire. Mr. Clay of Cobb, jumped to his feet and said that he did not want to smother the proceedings of the committee. The bill before it was one of public interest. The people ought to know what the com mittee did. For himself lie opposed star chamber proceedings. Mr. Arnheitn, of Dougherty, said that the last meeting of the committee, when the railroad commission bill was up, was not secret. Every one who wished came to the room. Mr. Clay, of Cobh, moved that the press be admitted. Mr. Bartlett, of Bibb, said he had no objection to the individual presence of the reporter in the room, but it was a rule to regard committees’ proceedings so secret as not to be spoken of in the House even. Mr. Gustin, of Bibb, also objected to the presence of reporters, but if Mr. Clay’s motion prevailed, tho reporter who was present ought to promise to give the report to the other reporters. The motion was put to the House. It was carried without a dissenting voice; but there were several who did not vote at all. When the meeting was about over, Mr. Gordon moved that inasmuch as the press had been admitted, the chairman Instruct or request the reporters to confino their reports to only such proceedings as were before the committee officially. Mr. Clay said he did not suppose it made any difference whether the report ers were instructed what to report or not, but for himself he opposed the motion to be passed by that committee. Mr. Gordon did not press his motion, but he personally appealed to the report ers to coniine their reports to what was ollicially before the committee. THE BILL IN THE HOUSE. The bill was reported to the House this afternoon. Mr. Hawks gave notice that there would be filed a minority report to morrow morning. This report is being drawn up by a half dozen of the brightest young men in the House. I wish I could get it in The Courant this week, but it will be impossible. It will be a bigger bombshell than the friends of the bill dream of. From what I have heard I am safe in saying there will be points raised in that document that will throw new light on the whole subject. Dr. Felton moved to make the bill the order of the day for Thursday of this week. Mr. Gordon, however, was anxious to press matters, and so he opposed the mo tion. Mr. Eason seconded Dr. Felton’s mo tion because the minority report will not be ready until to-morrow, and it can not be printed before Thursday. Mr. Gustin, of Ilibb, opposed the mo tion. Dr. Felton said that he must insist up on his motion because lie desired that this bill should be fully considered. lie re plied to those who objected that the de bate would run into Saturday, unless ta ken up Wednesday and gotten through with Friday, and that Saturday there is generally but a bare quorum in the House, that he would not fear that every one would be present. He would rather see all other bills fail, and all legislation wiped out than that this iniquitous bill should pass. After several amendments, which wero voted down, the Doctor’s motion pre valed. The bill will therefore lie in or der for debate Thursday. VALUED POLICY BILL. Mr. Calvin’s valued policy bill is the special order for Thursday. It has been subject to much opposition. lam frank to say, however, that my own private opinion is that the bill will not pass. A BARTOW BILL PASSED. The bill providing justices’court hous es in every militia district in Bartow county passed. By the time The Cou rant is issued, the bill will likely be signed by the Governor. FINAL ADJOURNMENT. The House has passed a joint resolu ti6n, prepared by a joint committee of the Senate and House, that the General Assembly adjourn sine die on October 10th. In my judgment the business now ready for final action, cannot be com pleted bv that date. To adjourn with many bills that have been in process of legislative labor for several months, just ready to pass, will be a foolish waste of the time and money already spent. The work already cut out should be comple ted before adjournment. DR. ARMSTRONG. It is reliably reported that Dr. Arm strong will have to stand a regular canon ical investigation into his recent conduct in Cincinnati. His vestry has thorough ly acquitted the Doctor, and he now seeks the vindication of this ecclesiasti cal examination. NOTES. Atlanta is growing restive under the approaching prohibition election in No vember. The real issue is between the Kimball House and the temperance peo ple. It some one would whisper to O. A. Bacon that he is “appearing in public” too much just now tor a gubernatorial candidate, he would do the gentleman a kindness. Politicians, like star actors, need managers. Usury is a common practice in Atlanta.
