JUDGE FOItT'K RESIGNATION.
The, announcement of Judge Fort’s
resignation which was made in Atlanta
Saturday, was not unexpected, although
he docs not assume the duties of bis new-
office for two months yet. This is done
so that the Legislature may settle the
question of his successor as early as
practicable; and the election of the new
judgejis expected to take place this
week.
It is now believed that Col. Fisli of
Oglethorpe will have no opposition for
the place
Owing to Judge Fort's prominent con
nection witli tlie legislation that created
tho Railroad Commission, and the large
acquaintance witli transportation ques
tions brought about by his preparation
of the bills that substantially became
the commission law, the people of Geor
gia will have their expectations raised
quito high as to the rank tliat Judge Fort
will occupy upon the Board, for though
Ids special branch is the law, he has
spent much time since his appointment
last December in a most thorough study
of railroad questions In general; and it is
not too much to Bay that, while he will
not suffer in comparison witli his eminent
legal predecessors in tho special field
where ids functions will chiefly lie, lie
will rank along with the very best men
who have filled seats on that Board in
the fields of technical railroad knowl
edge and general affairs.
Judge Fort will recognize that the peo
ple by common consent regard him as
the Moses that led them out of the £gypt
of railroad bondage, and that therefore
more will be expected of him than a
man of less -conspicuous antecedents;
and he has made up his mind that the
people shall not bo disappointed in the
work be will do upon teh bord.
It is ti Ue that at present the powers of
our commission are limited, owing to
the extension of most of our railways
into several states where the Georgia
commissioners have no jurisdiction; but
as there seems to be little doubt that the
present legislature will inerease tliolr
powers, tho field for good work in be
half of both the railroads pud the people
may bo well worthy the attention of our
most distinguished statesmen, lawyers good organ, when the portals are wide
and men of affairs. j open to you at all times to come-up to

The Increase of the consumption of
alcohol In France Is exciting the alarm
of French publla men anxious for.the fu

They are deserting the light wines
which they have always consumed In
Urge quantities, but which left them

AN UNPREJUDICED TRIBUTE.
The Boston Herald, the leading jour
nal of Now England, and a newspaper
that rises above narrow-minded parti
sanship and sectional hatred, pays the
following worthy tribnto to the South.
Speaking of the proposed monumont to
Jefferson Davis, the Horald takes occa
sion to say;
"Thoro Is a noblo liberality about tho
Southern people that commands general
admiration. When they do a thing their
ambition U to do it well, and they seo.n
to have. In common with all races of tho
warm countries, an Instinctive percep
tion of and respect for art. Their lately
expressed determination to raise a monu
ment to Jefferson Davis Is accompanied
by thoir Intention of fixing the cost at
(1,000,0.70. Such an expenditure seoms
large, but It will be found that placing
the outUy on a generous basis U the
only way to secure the highest artistic
results, and a result that la alone com
patible with work of a unique oharacter
and enduring naturo. There la another
lesson that these ardent Southerners
also teach us, and that is tho loyalty to
the memory of those men whom they
doomed to have served then). What s
reproof to the North If a monument to
Jefferson Davis should be In place before
the memory of Grant Is befitlingly com
memorated. But already these earnest
people have put ut> five statutes to Lee,
Johnston and Jackson. What secret
have they of stirring laggard natures or
quickening somnolent gratitude? we
might ask.”
' A PERTINENT QUESTION.
Last year the country had an income
of (60,000,000 from the sugar imported,
the rate of duty being two cents a
pound. The last congress made sugar
free, and offered a bounty of two cents
per pound for every pound produced in
the United States. It Is required that
tliu applications for the bounty should
be iu by the first of July, the beginning
of the fiscal year.
Applications enough have bcon filed
to require about (13,000,000 to pay the
bounty. This makes a difference of
(73,000,000 In the incomo of the country
for the present fiscal year, and If the su
gar raisers Increase their production as
rapidly next year at they did last, with
in the next four or five years the coun
try will have to pay to the sugar raisers
(73,000,000 as a bounty.
Why is it that the man who raises su
gar should receive a bounty, while the
one who raises cotton or tobacco or
wheat or corn pays a tax?
b it a more exalted business? Is the
sugar planter entitled to more benefits
than any other farmer?
Hera Is a question that the Democrats
should keep before the people of the
country.

FAIR PLAY FOR EVERYBODY. /
The position for a newspapep to
occupy In Its community, and , Ads is
especially true where there Is only one,
is that its columns be opciyto everybody
upon all sides of all questions of public
concern, so that people can air their
views, attack one thing or defend an
other with all the freedom consistent
with good mariners, and tho amenities of
journalism. If a paper advocates edito
rially a certain view (and a paper advo
cates any question in no other way), that
does not close the door to a reply from
any one of different views; on the con
trary, a properly conducted journal
should invite argument and discussion
from Its opponents.
For example, The Tihes-Recobueh
la not the organ of certain people who
may express in its columns their own
opinions on finance, politics or religion
its columns aro open to all; and the ed
itor will advocate or oppose the theories
advanced just as he may think best.
The expression of editorial opini >n by
this paper, and the publication of tho
opinions of other people, with or with
out comment, must not bo construed as
excluding views to tho contrary, If pre
sentod in proper language; for the news
paper of a community should be the
vchiclo for tho expression of tho views
of all classes of its people, who feel dis
posed to come beforo tho public.
The Times-Recohdeb is moved tc
state this fact, that should bo under
stood by everybody, for the reason that
some people who differ with The Timf.s-
Recokdkh upon some public Issues
claim that they have no “organ," and
cannot have their side properly present
ed, or got a “square deal.”
To all such The Times-Recordek
would say that whether they write in
advocacy of, or In opposition to views
expressed by the editor or by corres
pondents, shall reach the public through
these coldmns, with the utmost impar
tiallty and fairness of treatment.
If you have a theory to advocate, or a
humbug to oppose, come along up to the
sanctum, with your manuscript; and
don't sulk and kick around the street
corners behind the back of the great and

THE COTTON OUTLOOK.
Returns for the month of June to the
department of agriculture, show a slight
improvement on the condition of the
cotton crop.
Favorable weather during the month
throughout the whole cotton belt has
made the general average for the whole
bolt advance three points, standing
at 88.6.
The crop is universally late and is
somewhat grassy, but the farmers aro
getting a move ou things now. In Tox-
the outlook is brighter than in any
other southern state, and it Is farther
advanced than in any other section.
The worms have not gotten In any of
their work oxcept in two counties, both
of whleh are in Texas,
The crop will be a very late one, and
will depend largely upon good weather
stretched over a long season.
It can hardly bo expected that as
large a crop of cotton will bo marketed
this year as last year. There will be a
large decrease In tho number of bales
put upon the market.
This will be more to the benefit of the
farmer, however, as It will In all proba
bility keep prices at a higher mark than
they were during tho last season.
The farmers had bad weather daring
the early part of the season, but they
are making up for lost time now.
