Congressman Rixey ot Virginia has
Introduced a bill into Congress to
open the doors of national soldiers’
bomsf to ex-Confederates on equal
terms wilh union men. The New
Orleans Picayune says: “It ought to
be noticed that Congressman Rixey
was not a confederate soldier, not be

in the tremendous struggle of 1861-

The Louisville Courier-Journal
makea the following comment, which
is applicable in Georgia as well as in
Kentucky: “The cotton growers of
Louisiana are being urged by the di*>
roctor o! the agricultural bureau to
tobacco instead of cotton, as the
cultivation even of the common kinds
qsed for chewing aud smoking ia alleg
oto be very profitable. Kentucky
«bo. are so highly dissatisfied
With the prices they are receiving now

“Gen. Garcia," aays the Washington
correspondent of the Chicago Record,
“had an aged colored servant who was
born a slave upon his father’s planta
tion and was brought up with him
from childhood. The old negro had
followed him in all his ware, and had
shared his prison cells, and sat beside
the bed when the general breathed his
last. Every lime his master groaned
he would groan also; and the death
which came to the one will not let the
other linger much longer, The faith
ful servant does not care to live now.
His interest in life is gone, and no one
would be surprised if he died of grief
within a short time. ’

Those Spaniards who were furlbeet
< away from the scenes of the fighting
are still in a fine frenzy of anger with
the Americans. In Granada they are
stoning the statute of Columbus for
having discovered the terrible and
hateful country which we inhabit, aud
in Cadia and Algiers they are refusing
to accept American gold for purchases
in the shops because the coins bear the
despised eagle Meantime those sur
viving Spaniards who were in or near
the firing lines on land, or on ships
which met Dewey and Schley, and
alter having been vanquished were fed,
clothed and nursed by the victors,
have nothing save praise to say of the
Americans. The point of view induces
the opinion.—Savannah News.
. The Nashville American can see no
silver lining to the cloud that bangs
I over the democratic party. “In a na
tional sense," it says “the party is bad
ly disorganised and drifting like the
derelict at sea. The tremendous- and
costly fight which the party made io
1896, and which was lost by a scratch,
• taxed its vitality to the utmost, and
thia, followed by the defeats sustained
In the election last month, have dis
couraged hundreds of thousands of the
moot loyal members. Ahead these men
see nothing but darkness and repeated
defeats, and naturally there is growing
desire among them to see something
one which will again make the party
a forceful and dominant factor in
shaping the politics of the govern
ment.”

Things Left Undone.
After a session of fifty days the
Georgia Legislature has adjourned
without disposing pl the two most im
portant matters before I:—ballot reform
and the tax problem.
Almost every member hsd so many
things of a minor nature to put
through that matters of a general na
ture. though p! more Importance than
all the others combined had lo.be
ignored almost entire'y I is tsue a
commission was sent to Tennessee to
investigate the workings of the ballot
system in vogue in that state, which
is virtually the Australian system, but
beyond receiving tbe report of this
committee the Legislature did nothing.
It is also true that a commission to
Investigate ftod suggest the best plan
for tax reform has been authorised, but
this is barely morcjjwn an acknowl
edgement of the need for reform, says
the Macon News
So far as these two most important
problems are concerned, they are ns
far from a solution as ever; and yet
noth could and should have been dis
posed of during the first two weeks of
the session For the only correct so
lution bl>6fh problems have ahea-'y
been suggested time and again by men
as competent to speak »• tbe- commit
tees that have reported aod are yet to
report on the subjects.
The whole trouble lies io the fact
that every member goes to Atlanta
with some little special hobby of his
own—a bill to do ibis or undo thab
and so on, and he has no mind nor
heart for anything else until he bas
brought bis own matter to the attend
tion of the .legislature. A desire to
please some exacting constituent or
an ambition to make a new law all his
own causes almost every legislator to
trot forward at each session with one
or more special bills, all of which have
to be acted upon, regardless of how
ma ty matters of vital public impor
tance have to be put aside from day to
day. And if the legislature met twice
as often as it does, there would be just
as many of these bills at each session.
Every member would be bent on mak
ing a litHe history.
It is a great pity that a special ses
sion of the legislature cannot be called
to settle the ballot and tax reform
problems, and do nothing else. This
is about our only chance to have the
more important matters attended to.
