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: CUTTING: AFPAIR .A.T BEAL & OAKLEY’S We offer for the next 30 days at 1-2 Price. 1-2 Price!

Flonnc- for 5.00 The legislature lias been in session j nnd On through tl)0 entire stock. 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.
