A QUESTIONABLY. POLICY.
Tbe wisdom of the policy which the
legislature has been pursuing for several
years in dealing with the railroads of.
the state is- questionable. Mr.ch of tbo
legislation which has been proposed,and
some of that which baa bee a enacted,
has been of a character to suggest the
idea that they are regarded as inimical
and eve a. dangerous to the interests of
the publie. The Central railroad, which
was bsiit by Georgia money, and v until
a few years ago, owned by people living
in the state, passod into the control of a
syndicate of rich New Yorkers.
There is no daubt that in some re
spects it would lave been better for the
people had the control of it remained
with residents of the state. As a purely
state institution the people were proud
of it. Those who directed its affairs
aimed to mrdte it a great faotor in the
development of the resources of the state
and they bad the bearty support of the
stockholders. Ami the Central is not
the only one of the roads of the state
which has felt the effects of the hurtful
policy of the legislature All of them
have been discouraged to a greater or
less extent by it. They have been
forced to abandon projected improve
ments, to reduce their expenditures to
the n.Ullonesl tituitn .tuu to »Uut! Oii tho
defensive. The feeling between them
ami the people has become strained,
and, being treated as enemies, they are
beginning to act as enemie:

of developing tap building up the South,
and Georgia in particular, his last move
upon the chess-board of railway strategy
has just been developed, and that is the
making of Atlanta the great head cen
tre of the Terminal system of railways
that now covers a half dozen Southern
states.
With a fund of technical railroad
knowledge and information little short
of the miraculous, with the self-confi
dence b?rn of genius, with the power of
controlling men and events like a Napo
leon, he has hut just begun a career,
the brilliancy of which, though largely
obscured heretofore by tlio public prej
udice existing against railroad monopo
lies, is just now beginning to dawn upon
the peoplo of
strength,
.VboVC mill beyond all thoughts of
'personal power or gain, tlicro is deep
seated in the breast of Pat Calhoun the
determination to make the railroad sya-
tem of the South the agency of Its ma
terial development to a degree that
shall astonish the civilized world, and
• shall enable the South, by virtue of its
prosperity, wealth and power, to reas-
r sumo the controlling position It held in
-antebellum days In the affairs of this
government.
To the all-grasping mind of Pat Cal
houn, the combination of all these rail
ways Into ons Is a necessity, because
thus alone can he control them as one
oomblned thunderbolt to shatter the
competition of the north and west, with
wbioh bs designs to contend.
He will marshal the powers of the con
solidated railways of the South, and
wield them with a power and force
that will astonish all who witness bis
achievements.
Those who know him, know that
nothing Is too vast for him to under
take, and few things are to him Impos
sible of accomplishment.
Assuming as be now does at Atlanta
the second place In this great aystem,
under the nominal leaderahlp of bis
strongest friend and most ardent ad
mirer, John H. Inman, he becomes in
feet, as he has heretofore been largely
In effect, the autocratlo wlelder of a
power that has In It greater possibilities
for the good of the South, than all other
agencies combined.
There Is In this concentration of power
also groat possibilities of evil; and those
who do not know Pat Calhoun, and who
judgo him by the company he Is In,
Gould, Thomas, Brice, Wilson, Norton,
fear that he may not bo able to control
at all, or may be led away from his pur
poses by the Influence of Mammon, or
the superior genius of hit less scrupu
lous compeers. But those who possess
a proper Insight Into bis true character,
who know that his intogiilyls superior
only to hls genius and determination,
are confident that he will sustain fully
the high Ideal of practical statesmanship
he has laid out for himself, ami will
make a record In the material develop
ment of the South in hls chosen field,
that will surpass that of oven bis illus
trious grandfather In the arena of
politics.
Those who know the wonderful
capacity of this youug man, will bo
wufully disappointed if ho docs not be
come insido tlio next five years, one of
the most noted figures In American
affairs.
sow join Judge Crisp's supporters.
The question of the speakership is
therefore about as well settled as any
event can be, some months ahead of the
actual occurrence.
The same power that has pushed Judgo
Crisp to the front, not only among the
Georgia and the Southern Congressmen
but among the very foremost statosmen
of both partios in tiie nation, marks
him as the man who will he called upon
by the State of Georgia indue time to go
up higher.
The record that Speaker Crisp will
make in the chair will not be second to
that of Carlisle or Iiandall, or Biaino;
and ere lie shall have served out his
coming term in tiie House, conditions
the South in ail ||s will be ripe for his advancement to the
chair in the Senate that has been filled
by Bon Hill, Joseph E. Brown, Gordon
and Colquitt in years past.
TfiK Timks-Ukcordeii bcliovcs that
upon tbo expiration of Senator Colquitt’s
term, when the time shall have arrived
for him to retire to private Ilfs, laden
with the fullest meed of Senatorial hon
or that Georgia has ever beatowod upon
any of her Illustrious sons, Judge Crisp
will, at the voice of command from the
people of Georgia, step, without serious
contest, from the speaker’s chair to the
Senate ohamber.
Mark well this prediction, for It is in
keeping with the eternal fitness of
things tbst It should be so.
Col. Lmsoarox's expressed willing
ness to “take tlio sub-treasury Mil or
something better," must he construed
in a literal, and not la Ite bruadaet sense.
The Elder is said never to deal In the
“double entendre.”
TBS ALLIANCE CAMPAIGN
The big Alliance rally has come and
gone, and the impression left upon our
people Is a moat favorable one.
There was little third party doctrine,
except by ImplIcaUon; and none of the
speakers were extreme, exoept Congress
man Simpson on railway monopolies,
and he quaUfled hls remarks by saying
that he spoke of Kansas affairs more
especially.
The notable feature of the speaking,
and of Cot Livingston's speech In par
ticular, was the conservative spirit that
pervaded hls utterances. While he spoke
in no uncertain strain, in advocacy of
the sub-treasury bill, tho Ocala platform
and other Alllaneo measures, he reasoned
rather to convince, than threatened, In
order to control; and hls Invitation for
everybody to help the Alliance bring
about the trial of the merits of the sub-
treasury bill or something better, is cer
tainly fair and open.
He Is not wedded to any particular
theory; be Is willing to help the poople
of the country, regardless of section or
party, do something for the public re
lief.
It is very gratifying to note that Col,
Livingston indulged in little of that
detuagogtilc species of oratory so com
mon on such occasions among politi
cians; and if the campaign ;>( tho Al- 1
lianc will lw conducted elscwbero and |
by other leaders as conservatively a,id
sensibly as was dono by C done! Living-1
stun in Amoricua yesterday, tho enemie*
of vho Alliance movement will bo de
prived of much of their thunder.
Col, Livingston eridccily rcc-'gnizes
the responsibility that rests on him by
virtue of his leadership, and under the
conditions of ti e unguided attempts to
legislate in new fields where no land
marks indicate the safer course; and Is
willing to take counsel with the leaders
of other elements, to tbo end that tile
combined wU-lom of all may evolve
some good out of the preaeut chaos of
evils with which tho country is afflicted.
Much g-iod will no doubt lie -accom
plished by the speeches of yesterday, it
in no other way at least in the matter of
letting the general outside public know
what the true doctrinee and purposes
of the Alliance ore, os given forth by ite
reoogulred leaders.
only three or four days, and yet a num
her of resolutions and bills, hostile to
the railroads, have been introduced
Tho indications arc that much of the
time of the session will bo taken up with
measures Intended to restrict tiie rail
roads in various ways. Some legislation
ofthiskindis undoubtedly needed, be
cause the roads, feeling that they are
not being dealt with fairly and justly,
have been evading tne regulations adopt
ed for their control. And perhaps they
have been encroaching upon the rights
of the people in a way that is irritating
and exasperating, but is not some exouse
for their doing so to bo found in the
illiberal policy of the state with regard
to them? If the legislature should bo
guided by a spirit of fairness and justice
in legislating upon matters pertaining to
them, would not the peoplo be the
gainers in the long run?
What the roads complain of is that the
legislature, influenced by all sorts of
complaints, enacts restrictive laws with
out knowing the full effect of Buch laws.
The roads are virtually refused a hear
ing, because little credit is given to
what they say. Tlio members of the
legislature, anxious lo be popular with
their constituents, favor what tliclr con
stituents demand without careful in
quiry as to whothor the demands in all
cases are just or not. Naturally the
roads, in self-defonse, are driven into a
position of hostility.
Would It not be the part of wisdom for
the legislature to deal with the railroads
as if they were friends rather than as if
they wore enemies ? They should bo
granted nothing excopt what they should
have, but they should be glvon all they
are entitled to. And tho effort to find
out what they are entltlod to should be a
careful and conscientious one. They
should have striot justice, nothing more
and nothing leu, bat they are entitled
to justice.—Savannah News.
