THE FIRST DOWNWARD STEP.
Frank L, Haralson, the Georgia
State Librarian, haa famished Allan
la’s regular daily sensation for Its
last three day*. The account of bia
difficulties with the pawnbroker Abe
Fry—forcibly carrying off a waich
from bis shop, which he told lbe
clerk be bat) traded a colt for. arrest
ed by Fry for. robbery, and then
“vindicating bis honor” by a ridica
Jons and futile attack on the tame
small Fry with a cowhide, and again
being broogbt into tbe police courts
—all (Less bate been folly related in
tbe Atlanta papers each day and
made tbe gossip of tbe quidnuncs
who are so numerous at tbe State
capital. That these episode# eboold ;
have been followed by a request from j
tbe Governor for Haralson's resigns
tion from bis State office. and then,
upon this being refused, by his sua
pension, was but natural and proper.
It was tbe more natural because it «
was simply tbe culmination of Haral
son's career for the past two or three
years, bringing other matters into
such notoriety that they could no
longer be passed over in silence and
indulgence.
Visitors to tbe State Library for
tbe past two or three years know
just bow often tbey have found the
L brarian in. and tbe knowledge is
not such as to burden their memory.
He bad always "just stepped out”
or “would be back in a minute;” but
tbe visitor might stay all day and
cot see him. “Tbe man" that Mr.
Haralson stepped out to see was pos
»bly not bard to find, but be stayed
with him too long Of course, of
Mr. Haralson's private habits the
Niws has nothing to say, except that
tbey should not have caused such a
complete neglect of bis public office
But there may life other papers and
other people less considerate.
With such a condition of affairs.
Governor Gordon performed an
obvious duty in appointing Capt.
John Milledge and W, R. Rankin
Jr., to examine into tbe affairs of
tbe State Library and report upon
tbe same.
Mr. Haralson has been State
Librarian for eight years. He was a
genial, pleasant and efficient officer
for tbe first two terms, and very
popular with everybody whom be
met. But in an evil boar be neglect
ed to pay bis newspaper subscription
and this neglect finally seems to
have grown into a determination not
to pay. He owes tbe Daily News
several years subscription, which be
refuses to pay. and be is doubtless
equally direiiet with any other
paper which be may take. It has
been our observation that when a
man has once taken tbe step of rob
bing a newspaper publisher of bis
hardly earned and just dues, any
thing else may be expected of him.
A lack of honesty and morality is at
onoe shown that can not end in any
thing else than the man becoming a
general dea 1 beat, though the end
is often worse and occasionally
\ comes upon the gahows.
Mr. Haralson may perhaps re
j t fieT€ himself, but he can not do it
until he pays his subscription

IS IT THE SAME OLD GAME 1
Senator Frye, of Maine, seem* to
be considerably encouraged just cow
over the prospects of the Hepubii
cans in Congress for presenting any
tariff reform legislation at tbis ses¬
sion. His hopes, it will be observed,
are based not upon tbe {lower of bis
own party to defeat such legislation,
but upon the re—enforce men t which
tbe Republicans have grown accus
tometi to expect ami to receive from
the Randall faction calling them¬
selves Democrats.
Being asked a tow days ago wbeth
er be thought the House would pass
the Mills bill, be answered: “They
may ©oil, but I think not now. I
think Randall is bolding back tbe
appropriations to kill tbe tariff bill.
There was danger of its passage a
little while back.'’
It must be confessed that things
begin to look as if Mr. Randall were
getting ready to play some of bia
old tricks again. If he is not—if be
is really not planning to oppose the
Mills bill with some of bis appro
priation bills, and honestly intends
to stand by those professions of good
faith and square dealing which were
so pronounced about tbe time the
speaker w s making up bis commit¬
tees— why it it that none of bis ap¬
propriation bills bare as yet been re¬
ported to (be House?
It is impossible to recall a time in
tbe history of the House wbea its ap¬
propriation bills were so far behind
as they are now. It was bad enough
in the Forty-ninth Congress, when
the Randall tactics of holding back
the work of tbe appropriation coni'
mitlee in order to block the way of
the tariff reform bill were shameless
ly employed. It is worse now than
it was then.
Wbat excuse is there for this state
of things: Wbat explanation is
there for it, unless it is the same old
game of the Pennsylvania subsidise
His committee has been relieved of
much nf its roost exacting work in
order that it might more expeditious
ly attend to what was left in its
hands, and that there might be no
shadow of reason for just such an
inJefensible delay , as the , prefer t one.
We notice that our esteemed R
publican-protection contemporary ‘
the , Jvew v , .. 1 ork , ~ Tnbure, .. is . devoting , .
n
a great deal cf its space and its real
to (he defense of Mr. Randall from
tbe suspicion of entertaining an in-
tention of resorting to any such tac
t.cs. and to deprecating any tendency
to criticise him for ike backward
state of tke appropriation bills. Is
not ihut a decidedly suggestive thing
in it«w? When was the Tribune
ever known to mts good word for a
Democrat unless by so doing it
thought it was saying two for a Re¬
