Not content with having just put upon the railroad commission the wholly un necessary additional burden of regulating express, telegraph and sleeping car com panies—the commission already having at much to do as they should do at the salaries received—the Ure-eating Berner of Monroe, whose ambition in life is to go down to history as the great railroad destroyer of the ago, is the author of a measure which, if passed, will put the railroads of the state almost entirely un der the authority of the commission. Tbo object of the hill is to give the railroad commission supervision over the sales, leases and contracts alfectin; railroads In the state, and to authorize itto Institute proceedings to set aside Illegal sales, leases and contracts, and to fix a penalty for violations. The hill also provides that before any railroad may make a contract or issuo bonds, they must be submitted to the railroad commission for approval, with out which such contracts or bonds shall bo void. There is now only ono more step to tako, and that is, cancel all charters of railroads In the state, soize their proper ty bodily, and Lave tho state operate them for tho benefit of the public. If Mr. Berner’s bill becomes a law, the state will virtually operate the roads through the commission, tho railroad officials will be merely clerks, and the stockholders of the railroads will be without any rights whatever. No greater outrage against the rights of property wae ever sought to be per petrated than la contained in thle bill, wbloh utterly ignores tbo fact that' rail roads are private property, bnllt and op erated by|corporatlone for profit, and the incidental accommodation of the pnbllo. It the object of this measure was not to wreck every railroad In Georgia, It would have been put in the shape of a bill for the atste to purchase and operate tho roads for the benefit of the whole peo ple, and thus relieve the stockholders of any lota or trouble in the matter.

While a few legislators recognize the fact that our aupreme court la the moat overworked and under paid body of men of their ability In the world, and there fore ahould have some relief In the way of an increase of their number, there are other legislators wbc want to in crease the already heavy burdens laid upon this tribunal. Such for instance la the measure of Mr. Lewis before the house to compel the aupreme court to hear cases on their merits,regardless of whether the highest ccfurt of appeals really baa,under the law any jurisdiction of the matter of nppeaL His bill guar antees the right of hearing In the ease of bills of exceptions. “Many of these hills are now dismissed by the aupreme court," said Mr. Lewis yesterday, "Without even givlng'tbem an Invest!- , gallon. This la not right. They ahould all bo given a hearing, and my bill pro vides that the aupreme court shall be re-, qulred to give all these bills a proper In vestigation. Tho matter la Important, and the evil ahould be remedied." If this ahould heooma a law (whloh of course it should not), the number of su preme judges would have to be increas ed to a dozen; and yet many of the men ■who would favor Mr. Lewis’ bill will vote against the proposition to Increase the number of judges. • , The Patriot announces that brick buildings are going up on the burnt dis trict in Buena Vista.

Waterman as the Georgia agent at Washington City, to attend to the details necessary to the refunding of the direct tax due the state. The appointment Is a good one, and the Interest of the state will not suffer In Mr. Waterman’s hands. THE GOOD OLD WAV. Editor Howell, who It will be remem bered held up the antl-prohlbltton wing of the Constitution’s staff In the memo rable prohibition campaign four years ago, does not take any stock In new fangled notions, that make innovations upon time-honored customs. His sentiments upon the question of the remedy for snake bites are pretty clearly indicated by the following: The new French cars for snake bites la s lotion mads of ons part of cbromlo sold dis solved in 100 psrts of water. It Is said to neu- trallss Ills effects of lbs poison, but many people will no doubt stick to tbe old-fash ioned southern intermit remedy. Ex-Sexatob Ingalls said In his ad- ■dress on Staten Island Saturday, that "alter ten years.of prohibition In Kan sas, there Is no town in that state where a man cannot get all the liquor he wants.” He said farther, that thereto no organised municipal corporation in Kansas that does not receive a large rev enue from finee on the liquor traffie, tbe entire exponses of bis town of Atchison being met "by n tax or fine or Uoense levied every nu>ntb on those who are known by the authorities to be engaged intheealeoHntoxioating liquors con trary to tow."

Hqttors are openly aad Avowedly sold,, the mat The result of tbe state election shows that tbe Alliance In Kentucky, as In other states, Is n mighty political power, and that it must not be Ignored by the politicians in their calculations. It to strong enough to put new men to the front when It chooses to do so, and ' its leaders have a rare way of not wasting their ammunition. The only Interest the Alliance, as a political organisation, had In the Kcntuoky election, was to put men In the legislature representing distinctly the farmer. This It has done.
