OCTOBER 22, 1885~ Tho Savannah Tlmos. We wish to gay to the .Savannah Times that tlie editorial in last week’s Courant denouncing its statement of a coalition lietween John E. Bryant and myself as a lie, was written, every word of it, by my self. W. 11. Felton. England is in the midst of a heated political canvass. Our sympathies are with Gladstone in this contest. When he dies the world is too poor in intellect and statesmanship to fill his place. W. 11. F. The Editress of the Courant is still quite .sick. She remains confined to her room and bed, tinder the care of her physician. She has not written an ar ticle for tills p’aper in two weeks. ' W. 11. F. G maxT., Scrviaand Bulgaria, as usual, are giving trouble in Europe. It is strange that these people cannot remem ber they are fallen. For the last thou sand years a man might have stood upon "the ruins of the Parthenon and ev claimed : ** ’Tift living Greece no more.” Servia and Bulgaria were once enti tled to admiration for their power and Christian freedom. But now they are the sport of both Turk and Christian. W. 11. F. Railroad Midwifery^ We clip the following news item from the Atlanta Constitution of Tuesday last: The construction of the Virgina and Carolina railway from Petersburg, Va., to Oxford, N. C., has been practically abandoned, and the many convicts who have been working on the line will be returned to the state prison at once. A large portion of the road has been graded, and the city of Petersburg will lose about $200,000 fiy tho abandonment, which re sults from rival railroad interests of the Virginia and North Carolina. - Tiie death of Mrs. Henry D. Capers, of Adairsville, removes from among the living one of the sweetest tempered and exemplary Christian women that adorned and made beautiful the pathway of life. This wifna seems very poor when one who made it so attractive to husband, children and friends, is laid away in the grave. Miss Mary 3L>hiis, the school girl, gave promise of all the noble quali ties, intellectual and• spiritual, which ri pened and matured in her after life. She was respected by her teachers, loved by her classmates, and honored by all good people for her gentle spirit, her prompt attention to every duty, her solicitude fertile happiness of others and her con fidence ami trust in Christ Jesus as a loving Savior. To the living her loss is irreparable; but she was ready to depart and lie with Christ. She rests from her labors. Her works will survive her. The tribute of tears and the benediction of bereaved hearts attest her worth. All who knew her will bless her memory and the beneficiaries of her charities will embalm her name. W. 11. F. Tha Marietta and North Coorgia Railroad. One of the unpardonable acts of the late General Assembly was the donation of over SBO,OOO to the Marietta and North Georgia railroad. The finance commit tee of the House, after mature investiga tion and full discussion, consented that tin* interest on the debt of the road to the State should be remitted for two years from the first of January, 1880, provided the road was completed to the North Carolina line in that time. This was regarded as a liberal compromise by the Committee. Wo supposed it was ac cepted by the friends and opponents of the donation as a compromise. But, lo and behold, by a sort of hocus-pocus to us unexplained and unexplainable, it re sulted in a full-fledged donation to that road of more than eighty thousand dol lars. This donation is in direct violation of the Constitution of the 'State and one that we suppose will not stand a moment when tested before the Supreme Court of Georgia. It was in his effort to defeat this outrage upon the Constitution of the State that Judge Harrell, of Webster, displayed his splendid capacity for legis lation and endeared himself to every lover of our constitutional safe-guards. By the way, it was during the last days of the Legislature, we learned to value and appreciate our present State Consti tution. It had seemed to us at an earlier day in the session to be an incubus upon the wise and rapid dispatch of legisla tive business. But we confess that when its safe-guards were seen in full exercise —its restraints and limitations in all their majesty and wisdom protecting the mon ey of the tax-payers —its sovereign pow er saying to corporations and mo nopolies “thus far and no further,” our objections gave peace to unfeigned ad miration for the wisdom and patriotism of the men who framed it. Let it re main as a monument more lasting than marble to the grand old Georgian who is {Missing away and who never worshipped but two objects on this earth—his wife |md his native State. W. n.

To our imperfect vision the outlook for the Democratic party is not as promising aowe wish it was. It was with the greatest difficulty that the country succeeded in electing Grover Cleveland to the Presidency. Only one thing saved him and the party from an inglorious defeat, and that was the ex ceptionally bad nomination made by the Republicans. Many’ honest and patri otic Republicans becoming disgusted with the growing corruption of their party leaders and the seeming determi nation of those leaders to sacrifice every principle efgood government, that they | might blindly support the incorporated and organized wealth of the country, re solved to throw off the obligation of par ty fealty and vote for the Democratic nominee. They did so, and elected Cleveland to the Presidency. The question now presents itself, have these mugwumps, as they are facetious ly called, been retained in the party ? Have they been adopted into the Demo cratic family ? Our information is, the last one has returned to the Republican party, and will hereafter support its nominations for the Presidency. lias the party been so strengthened and enlarged that its future success is made certain without the assistance of dissatisfied Republicans? Have we, as a party, made other and more permanent conquests? Have we even solidified the original ranks of the Democracy? Are all “family’differences” reconciled? Are we united? Are we as strong to-day as when Grover Cleveland was made Pres ident? Look at Ohio. A Democrat ic Governor “stepping flown and oni” to give place fo a Republican. Why ? Be cause incorporated wealth, organized monopolies through their agents, Hunt ington and Gold 1, have demanded that Allan G. Thurman, who defeated their pet scheme of robbery and plunder, shall remain in obscure banishment. If Judge Thurman had been in President Cleve land’s cabinet, or had been tendered the Highest office in the gift of the adminis tration, as he so richly merited, we verily believe that Hoadley instead of Foraker would be the Governor-elect of Ohio to day. But no, the Democratic party in Ohio must be managed and manipulated in the interest of tho Standard Oil Compa ny and of the Pacific Railroad monopoly, while the grandest old statesman and pa triot of the Union is punished for his bold advocacy of truth and honesty in the United States Senate. Whenever the people in doubtful States are called upon to decide between parties equally given to corrupt practices, and equally pledged to the support of organized wealth, they will generally give it to the Republican party. In New York the signs are not en couraging. Men whose political and official complications in the past make them more or less distasteful to those who, in casting their votes, demand clean hands and a pure record, have been brought forward by the Democratic leaders and made the exponent’s of Dem ocratic principles. We hope for success in New York, but we fear failure awaits the “party of the people” fh that State, because in some measure the people have been forgotten in a desperate effort by the politicians to achieve a mere party success. In all the States divisions and feuds are cropping out or smoldering in the Democratic party. They differ upon the tariff, upon silver coinage, upon civil service reform, and upon a dozen other minor questions of policy. There seems to be no master hand to allay differences, to unite and harmonize conflicting in terests and opinions. We again ask, what is the outlook for the Democratic party? “Watchman, what of the night?” Of course, we are united in Georgia, be cause eveiyone in Georgia has learned to obey without question the mandates of the “governing board” of politicians w’ho control our State. If the people elect to office a man sup posed to be indemnified with the people, he soon becomes a willing servant of the “governing board” and peace reigns in Warsaw. W. IT. F. Character. Tiire is nothing more valuable than a good character. There is nothing which strengthens in “life’sbattles,” in adverse or favoring fortunes like a character which is impregnable to every shaft. It is a fortress, a tower of defense in which and behind which the possessor is shel tered in every storm. What is charac ter ? It is something we do not inherit from our parents or even from a long line of worthy progenitors. It is not the product of circumstances. It is not the outgrowth of wealth—of education or of influential friends. These, it is true, may be material out of which the plastic hand of the moulder can find much to aid and strengthen him in his work of forming character. The finest characters sometimes sparkle from un der and through the most forbidding cir cumstances —in poverty’s vale. Birth and station can never make character. A distinguished writer has said “a good character is in a’l cases the fruit of per sonal exertion. It is the result of one’s own endeavors.” Men build character just as they erect the palaces or hovels in which they dwell. Carlyle says “From the same material one man builds palaces, another hovels, another villas; bricks and mortar are mortar and bricks until the architect can make them something else.” So each and every man is the ar chitect of his character. Nature and a merciful Providence have placed at their command the materials out of which lie may construct a character which will be his honor in life and his crown of glory in death. Character is not made in a day or in a year. It is the habits—prac tices—purposes—principles of a life-time. A man’s character t ,-day is the aggrega tion of all the a jiital, moral and reli gious principles '. hieh have guided and controlled himln the past. It is the ac cumulation—tue sum-total of individual actions up tt the present hour. Charac ter does ni spring up like Jonah’s gourd in a night Vine —it grows slowly; it hardens as it jglbvr s; it becomes like the sturdy oak which has been growing and hardening for many years—the floods and the winds make no impression upon it. Every day’s history brings its accretions to individual character. At night character is stronger or weaker — more attractive or more repulsive than when the day’s work was commenced. Truth, honor, honesty, purity, integrity, charity—indeed all the noble attributes of a noble manhood have been deepened or shallowed by each day’s history. There are so many who seem to think that one day’s repentance and reforma tion can reconstruct in the estimation of men a wasted life —can varnish and make beautiful the cracked and disfigured pic ture of the past. Let the young man re member lie is building character; that one worm-eaten piece of timber—that one unhardened brick—that one flaw in the decoration may spoil the symmetry and beauty of the edifice. Let him remem ber that his work is the work of a life time. That it is only when “he turns his eyes to the wall” and life is behind him—the cap-stone of character is raised and placed in position. Then men say confidently “It is finished.” W. 11. F. The Railroads’ Threats. In plain English, if the Railroad Commission shall pursue the same course in the future as has marked it in the past, the issue will become immediately prominent in the politics of the State. And who can doubt the result? If ono road, belonging to the State, has controlled to a great degree tho politics of the State lor the past twenty years, and ha* made one man a political autocrat, it is easily understood that the com bined roads could hold Georgia at their mercy. They could make and unmake laws and commis sions, and robo and disrobe Senators. Once in power ami they might not stop with the propo sition of Commissioner Barnett to ego into tlie book-keeping and tax laying and collecting business, but they would absolutely control Legislatures and legislation, and dictate tlie policy of the State. The picture is not over drawn, and it should furnish food for 'serious thought to every Georgian. Enforce this com mission law hut another year in the same spirit as the last, and the issue is upon us. In view of this fact, cold and solid, a grave responsibility rests upon the Railroad Commission. We wish every citizen of Georgia could read the above extract, from an editorial in the Macon Telegraph, of last Sunday. The Telegraph has been the consistent organ of the railroads all the time. It has opposed the Railroad Com mission from the beginning. It is not a little Kingsberry sheet bought with tliirty-acven and a half cents. It is not a recent convert full of new born zeal like some of the great organs of the State, It is an old-time servant of the railroad syndicates of Georgia. If is the “elder son” who has been at home all the time, while tlie liitle spendthrift prodigals are just now returning in search of Kings berry bread. It speaks by authority. It knows whereof it speaks. If other writers and speakers in the State had asserted that the people of Georgia were “held at the mercy of the combined roads in the State,” then they would have been denounced as dema gogues, as communists, as disturbers of the public peace. If other newspapers had made the threat that unless the Com mission hereafter did just as the rail roads desired them to do, then the rail roads in this State “would make and un make laws and Commissions and robe and disrobe Senators,” then such news papers would have been denounced as “incendiary sheets,” arraying the rich against the poor. In the above extract we have the deliberate threat that the Commission, that is, the people of Geor gia, must bow servilely and unmurmur ingiy to the autocracy of the roads or the combined roads will “control abso lutely Legislat ares and legislation and dictate the policy of the State.” We know the power of these combin ed roads. We believed from the outset that consolidation meant with the roads, interference with the executive, legisla tive and judicial departments of our State by attempted bribery, and every corrupting agency known to and within the reach of immense organized wealth. But we never expected to see the day when the freemen of Georgia would be publicly threatened with slavery and serfdom unless they yielded to the auto cratic demands of these roads. We are the friends of railroads —wo desire their prosperity and their multiplication. But alas, the day! when railroad Zarisra wields the lash over the backs of men who were “born free.” These roads here say to all Georgians the Commis sion must be their slave or they will make it and all State Legislatures their slaves by the omnipotence of their organized wealth. Be it so. They have challenged the contest. They have uttered and pub lished the threat. Labor and productive industry on one side and gold on the other. May God protect the weak and defend the right! W. H. F. Cardinal McCloskey. Cardinal John McCloskey is dead—he was born in New York in ISIO. He was distinguished for learning and personal piety*. By his own individual efforts he ascended gradually from the lowest to the highest position in the powerful church of which he was a member. He seems to have been an exception to the old adage, “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” With in a radius of possibly two hundred miles of the spot where he was born, John McCloskey labored and struggled until the “scarlet hat and purple mantle” to gether with the title of “Eminence,” told all the world that he was a member of the “Sacred College,” an elector of the Pope, and himself eligible to the pa pal office. This was certainly sufficient to gratify the ambition of the American boy, who'started life with nothing hut a splendid intellect, educated and cultur ed, thoi'onghly consecrated to his church and with untiring, flaming zeal, for its prosperity. We are glad the war be tween Protestism and Catholicism is over. For centuries it disgraced the world and drenched all Europe in blood. Like all religious wars and controver sies, it had neither sense, reason or Christianity for its guide and counsellor. Like infuriated beasts fresh from the jungles of Africa they thirsted for blood. In our disgast when reading the story of these wars we have been unable to decide which was the most untamed ' tiger,” Catholic or Protestant. Of course, the Catholics were numerically the strong est, and for that reason, maybe the pre ponderance of blood is on their side. But what is it? Is it the spelling-book? Is it the schoolhouse ? Is it the printing press ? Is it steam ? Is it the steamship ? Is it the locomotive ? Is it the sulky plow ? Is it McCormick’s reaping ma chine? Is it evolution? Or is it the grace of God? Be it what it may! Be it all these named factors and others un named, God be praised, religious wars and sectarian struggles have received their “death blow’, In this world ! God be praised that in this happy and free government every man worships his Creator according to the dictates of his own conscience—none to molest or make afraid! All nations have caught the spirit of religious and political toleration and intolerance is only the local outcrop ping of some individual, of some neigh borhood, or of some nation distinguished for ignorance or illiteracy. There is no greater enemy to tlie world’s prosperity than the religious and sectarian bigot. How the world’s progress has been re tarded ! How Christianity has been darkened and its glorious pathway bar ricaded by bigotry! But the “Star of Bethlehem” is moving towards its ze nith and it then must shine upon a com mon brotherhood of humanity. W. H. F. THE MARIETTA AND NORTH GEOR GIA RAILROAD. Atlanta, October 17. —The amount of litigation and legislation in which the Marietta and North Georgia railroad has figured prominently indicate that it has been an elephant—a kind of Jumbo to the State. Jumbo finally yielded up the ghost, but this elephant is still on hand. The State has in tho past done much for this road but the late Legislature in its eagerness and haste to aid tlie Northern capitalists who are now building it flank ed and violated the constitution, in the opinon of sound lawyers, and ignored the well settled policy of the State in order to make a donation of over SSS,OOO to the enterprise. While much of the work of the Legislature is open to severe critic ism and is deserving of condemnation, this piece of legislation seems to have de liberately gone beyond all bounds and ought not to he allowed to stand. The attention of tlie burdened tax payers of Georgia is invited to this piece of busi ness transacted by a body which has hardly a parallel in the history ot our legislation. lam informed that the at tention of the Supreme Court will be called to it at the proper time. In the infancy of the enterprise the State loaned the company a large sum of money— about $50,000, and SIO,OOO worth of iron rails. The company secured the State by issuing mortgage bonds covering the amount, and tlie State generously agreed that if the road should be completed by January Ist, 18SG, no interest should be exacted. Subsequently, to further aid the company, the State loaned them the use of 250 convicts free of all charge for the term of three years. Penitentiary companies No. 2 ant* 3 after considerable litigation secured them. It was asserted that tlie railroad company had the ser vice of the convicts as granted them by the State, but they set up a claim against the State nevertheless for their loss. They appealed to the last Legislature to extend in which the road was to be completed, asked to be released not only from the interest, but from the principal of the bonds as well. Asa busi ness proposition the Legislature might well have entertained the proposition to extend the time for the completion of the road and release them from the payment at accrued interest, and would no doubt have been gratefully accepted by the company as generous treatment at the hands of the State. But the proposition to cancel the bonds outright and relieve the company from all obligation was rather astounding. It is more astound ing that it should have received the in dorsement of the Legislature and the ap proval of the Governor. The resolution as adopted provides that if the company shall complete the road from Ellijay to the North Carolina line in twenty months from January Ist, 188 G, building an average of one and half miles per month, and shall file with the Secretary of State an agreement to release the State from all claims equitable and otherwise against the State, then the State shall credit the company on its bonds at the rate of $2,000 for each one and a half miles completed and when the road is so finished shall cancel the bonds and discharge the mortgage. It was strongly urged against this pro ceeding that the Marietta and North Georgia railroad had no claim against the State and that it had already had the service of the convicts for the full time stipulated as adjudged by the Supreme Court in the ease of Penitentiary Com panies 2 and 3 vs. John W. Nelms, prin cipal keeper, and their rights fully in vestigated and adjudicated.—(7l Ga. R., p. 352.) Further, that the only claim the road could have would be for the time in which it was deprived of the convicts. Even if they had been deprived of the whole number of convicts for the term of three years, the estimated hire would not exceed SIO,OOO. The resolution gives them nearly SBO,OOO in excess of that sum. This appropriation, as it is in the nature of an appropriation, must there fore be considered a donation to the rail road and is a direct violation of article 7, section IG, paragraph 1, of the constitu tion, which says: “The General As sembly shall not by vote, resolution, or order, grant any donation or gratuity in favor of any person, corporation of asso ciation.” That is the law and the high est we have and whatever may be the individual views of members as to the propriety or policy of granting State aid to railroads, they must be bound by the constitutional provisions. The very last bill introduced in the House, No. 993, by Mr. Harrell, of Web ster, showed that there was still left a sense of the wrong put upon the tax payers aud disposition to wipe it from the records. It was “a bill to be entitled an act to repeal, annul and de clare null and void and of no effect a re- FOR THE HOLIDAYS!

MOTHER’S FRIEND! i This invaluable preparation! is truly a triumph of scien tific skill, and no more ines timable benefit was ever be , stowed on the mothers of the ' world. ffs-yy** It not only shortens the time of labor and lessens the intensity of pain, but, I better than nil, it greatly di l minislies the danger to life to both mother and child, and leaves the mother in a condition highly favorable to speedy recovery, and far less j liable to Hooding, convul sions, and other alarming !symptoms incident to linger ing and painful labor. Its j truly wonderful efficacy in phis respect entires tlie Mother's Friend to bo ranked as one of the life saving appliances given to the world by the discoveries of modern science. From the nature of the case, it will of course be un derstood that we cannot publish certificates concern ing this Remedy without wounding the delicacy of the writers. Yet we have hun • dreds of such testimonials, on file, and no mother who. lies once used it will ever again lie without it in her time of trouble. No More Terror ! No More Pain ! No More Danger ! to Hotter or Chili THE DREAD OF Motherhood Transformed to HOPE AND JOY I Safety and Ease TO Sufiering Woman. A prominent physician lately remarl. ■ proprietor that, if it were admissable to makci public the letters we receive, the Mother’s Friend would outsell anything on tlie market. I most earnestly entreat every female expect ing to be confined to use Mother's Friend. Coupled with this entreaty I will add thatduring along obstetrical practice (forty-four years) I have never known it to fail to produce a safe and quick delivery. 11. J. HOLMES, M, I>., Atlanta, Ga.
