SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO PER YEAR The Laws are Not Enforced , In probing the frauds of the Su 'gar Tru.-t, it develojied tiiat falsie weights were not oniy used on the government, Imt also on ship own •ers. When an individual or eor jporation goes to stealing they are no inspectors of persons. If these millionaire robbers were treated like common criminals, and placed in penitentiary or chaingang, where they la-long these cases would lie less frequent. You let a sorry negro, or for that m atter a white man, without money or influence commit a crime, it. (matters not how trivial and they -will be very apt to suffer for same, Sint whemone of these high handed iwxbbers are caught stealing millions, they are not even arrested, but turn ed aloosc on tbe.ir own recognizance ■without even requiring them to give iihond. In rare instances as in the caise of Morse they sftlnetime get into the toils and after they are committed to prison, some thin .■skinner Governor will pardon them he fore they have served a third of their time. hook at the Cooper case. Old man, Cooper was tried by a jury of his peers, sentenced by the lower court, the ease was appended to the •highest tribunal in the State, and the superior court judge confirmed the decision of the lower court. 11c had the lest of talent to defend him, and in the. face of all the facts and (lie decision of the supreme court judge, Governor l’atterson is sued a pardon before he is even petitioned to do so. What is the matter with our country? It seems we have plenty of law, hut the law is not enforced. Judge Speer states, that there has .been between four and five hundred receipts issued to parties in Bibb county from the federal government for monej* paid for retail liquor lic enses, and in every instance the party obtaining the license has to make an affidavit that they were go ing to engage in the retail liquor business. The judge stated this was prima facie evidence against ev ery one of these people, An open and flagrant defiance of the law in this manner is out rageous, and there is something radically yrong somewhere When criminals can ruthlessly defy the iaw without be ing punished, our Initiated civiliz ation seems a faree.

PETTIT, T, P, A„ Macon, Ga, Religions intolerance is an awful thing, and when it is combined with race prejudice it knows no limit. Late dispatches from Berlin indicate that the expulsion of Jew ish families from Kiev is going on in the crudest manner. •••♦ It seems tlfht Eugene N. Foss, the newly elected democratic repre sentative from Massachusetts, a former republican and a leading manufacturer, will lie a factor in national politics. He is firing some hot shot into the “Stand Patters. "Rather queer that a lead ing manufacturer should he such a strung foe to protection; especially when we consider tie* fact that Mr. Fuss is a representative manufacturer in the steel and iron industry of New England and there is a 4o per cent tariff duty on these articles.
