In the South Atlantic group of states,
the largest amount of railroad construc-
, flon was done last year. Tills group is
composed of Virginia, West Virginia,
North Caroline, South Carolina, Georgia
and Florida
Marshall Wilder, the humorist,
says ho has been “freeing his mind of
jokes” for many years. Now, if Mar
shall were only as kind to the public as
to his mind, how nice it would be!—At

Tub stout movement toward free sil
ver in this country is having an effect in
Europe. The feeling in favor of biinet-
alism on an international standard la
growing. A movement has already been
Inanguiated looking toward an agree
ment between the principal foreign coun
tries and the United States, the recep
tion of the movement among the former
being reported as quite encouragibg to
the friends oi silver.
Congressman Mills of Texas has
captured tho people of Massachusetts
with bis powerful speeches on the tariff
question, and thousands llock to hear
him, and judging from the accounts of
the meetiugs published in the lioston
papers ho is making many converts
among the Republicans. The Herald
for instance says that Mr. Mills is such a
master of his subject, and his facts and
figures so convincing that the Republi
can orators on the stump do not attempt
to answer Ills arguments because of their
inability to do so —The Daily State.
Balmacetia and Boulanger each left an
aged mother. It appears that each man
wrote a letter the day before ho commit
ted sulcido addressod to bis mother
which said simply: * I go on a long
journey.” This duplication of last ma
ternal messages was not the only resem
blance in their feverish careers or their
sclf-intlicted deaths. It already appears,
too, that the cause that each man pro
fessed to hold dear has survived Id each
country. The Boulangists seem to have
revived since the death of tho man that
gave their party its name, and the new
Chilian "elections” have resulted in the
choice of a Liberal (Balmnceda’s party)
Senate.
Gov. Fleming of Florida, Is likely to
feel sorry that, at the bidding of tho ring
of politicians headed by Chipley, of
Pensacola, he attempted to prevent Sen
ator Call from taking the seat to which
he was legally elected by the Legislature
of the State. A short time ago he ap
pointed a gentleman named Davidson to
Mr. Call’s seat In the United States Sen
ate, hut the Secretary of State refused to
sign or Issue the commission of the Gov
ernor on the ground that Call was legal
ly elected and that he had already algned
the record of the joint proceedings of
the Legislature. Governor Fleming then
-called on the Attorney-Gcnoral of the
State to mandamus the Secretary of
State, and compel him to sign the com
mission, and the former officer declined
to obey the order on the ground that any
-effort to deprive Senator Call of his seat
would be unlawful. Senator Pasco baa
the doeument showing the joint pro
ceedings of the Llgislature, properly
signed by the officers of that body, at
well as the Secretary of State, and he
will present It to the Senate as soon as
-Congress meats, and the general Im
pression is Senator Call will be seated
without delay as hit brother senators
have interested themselves In his case
And gathered all the facts eoaoerning it.
EDISON’S LATEST.
Verily, this is w sge of progression
and this country la the birthplace of
scientific achievements which reduce
seeming impossibilities to the common
place. -
Thomas A. Edison, who has perhaps
done more towards aidingoivillzatlon by
his wonderful adaptation of electricity
to the every day needs of humanity, and
for which his naue will shine In after
years through a halo of glory surround
ing now no character in history, has
completed a motor which will revolu
tionize transportation to a degree almost
undreamed of. This creation of the
moat powerful brain of the present age
fa to supersede the present railway loco
motive, and with twice the now attaina
ble speed, combine a freedom from
■moke, dust and danger.
The railroad magnates of the country
have pronounced upon it, and without
exception recognize the fact that only a
short while can elapse ere it shall have
relegated the motive power now used to
the place occupied by the old style stage
eoaoh.
Without a donbt Edison is the great
est and most beneficiary genius the
world has ever seen, and if his life is ex
tended to man’s allotted span on earth
there Is no snrmleing tho wonders with
which be w ill yet furnish mankind.
A CHEAT monopoly.
There may be question in some minds
sa to the^approprlateness of the above
term when applied to the Western-Union
Telegraph Company, but a glance at the
earnings of tills gigantic corporation for
the past year will convince the most
skeptical that it Is well applied.
Its Importance cannot be calculated
and its resources are almost unbounded
and while the fajt that It has become a
vital necessity to the commercial inter
ests of the country lessens in a great
measure the usual objections pertaining
to powerful monopolies, yet It can be
cousidered in no other light.
In the statement of the year’s busi
ness, closing June 30th, of the present
year, there Is shown a previous surplus
of over ten millions of dollars. To this
vast sum must be added an amount of
gross revenues approximating twenty
three millions, from which total is de
ducted sixteen and one-half millions for
tunning expenses, leaving from availa
ble profits the enormous figures of near
ly seventeen millions. Of this there
was applied five and one-half millions to
the payments of dividends, Interest on
outstanding bonds and to the sinking
fund. This leaves as a not surplusfrom
the year's opeiations over eleven mi',
lions of dollars.
And this appalling aggregation of fig
ures after a year of genoral cutling in
rates on commercial messages.
The word “monopoly,” In its general
sense, does not apply to this corporation
as to the Standard Oil Company or to
tho Louisiana State Lottery, Inasmuch
as the Western Union well supplies a
great (Sliblio necessity and at rates not
ruinoilt to its patrons.
And Vtt from the fact that it has
reached an eminence of wealth and pros
perity which renders It well-nigh invin-
eible and which enables it to easily gob
ble would-be competitors, places it
among that too common class of modern
(and especially American) enterprises,
which through force of combined and
almost unlimited capital are able to
throttle competition.
But taken into consideration with this
faet must be that uf the good service
which its veiy wealth enables it to give
to the people, and which a small con
cern would find impossible. Even
though it quickly freezes out anything
like opposition and every year is quietly
adding millions to its already overflow
ing coffers, tho people could ill do with
out it, as the service is being constantly
improved and every now Invention
which proves helpful to its facilities is
promptly secured and used for the bene
fit of the public.
TIIE ROAD CONGRESS.
It is expected that the road congress,
which convened in Atlanta yesterday,
will do a great deal towards arousing,
throughout the state, a stronger senti
ment in behalf of better roads. In the
matter of roads Georgia is not perhaps
much, if any, behind many of the other
states, but for that reason it does not
follow that her people bavo a valid ex
cuse for the almost impassible roads in
nearly every part of the state. If the
farmers could bo made to realize bow
greatly their farms would be enhanced
in value, and how much they would save
In repairs to harness and wagoni and in
horseflesh by good roads, they would
pay their road tax much more willingly
and assist In working the loads without
grumbling
In the November Forum Mr. Isaac B.
Pottor of New York baa an interesting
article on country roads. In his opinion
the oost to the former of carting bit pro
duce over the “roughened streak of soil”
that is called a highway has much to do
with the existing agricultural depression.
There is a good deal of foundation for
this opinion of Mr. Potter. It Is worthy
of notice that the farmers in localities
where the roads are good are, as a rule,
contented. They are prosperous, their
homes are comfortable and their sur
roundings are attractive.
Communities that want to become
prosperous before Improving their roads
make a mistake. Bad roads prevent
them from becoming prosperous. Good
roads would aid them In becoming so.—
Savannah News.
THE TROUBLE WITH CHILI.
The accounts thus far received from
Chill relative to the brawl In wbleh our
sailors were so roughly handled indicate
very plainly that the government at
Washington is in no position to ask for
redress. The doctrine laid down in he
case of the Sicilians who were lynched
in New Orleans comes back to settle the
Chilian case against us; and the fact that
the Sicilians were brigands aud robbers
while our sailors in Valparaiso were pre
sumably honest men has no bearing on
the matter, if the sailors were injured
by a mob and not under tho authority of
the government we have no ground of
complaint, provided the government
proceeds against the offenders in accord
ance with Its own laws.
This is very poor redress. The prose
cution of the ringleaders may be a farce
just as the prosecution of the New Or
leans mob is likely to be. But the gov
ernment at Washington will be power
less to interfere if there is only the de
cent form of an attempt to arrest and
punish the offenders. Even though they
should all be acquitted by a venal or
prejudiced jury there will be no remedy.
The most unfortunate thing about the
affair is that it indicates a distinctly un
friendly feeling on the part of the Chil
ians for the American people when the
feeling here has been from the first one
of sympathy with the cause which re
cently triumphed. Why this is so is by
uo means clear; but there is strong
ground for believing that it is due in
some way to the misrepresentation of
this country during the revolution in
Chili. The real history of our diplo
matic representation at Santiago during
that eventful struggle has not yet been
told; but It has very certainly left in the
minds of the successful party a bitter
ness against the American jioople which
encourages the popular belief that our
sailors may be attacked and outraged
without much interference on the part of
the Chilian government. It is not nec
essary in such cases that there should bo
any open proclamation of hostility or
even of 111 feeling. The fact that such a
feeling exists among the leaders com
municates itself in hundreds of subtle
ways to the least intelligent of a people
just as it did to the Valparaiso mob.
The misfortune just now is ours, hut
in the end it must be Chili's, if the mis
understanding on which this ill-feeling
is founded is not removed The now
government cannot afford to lose the
friendship of the government or the peo
ple of the United States.
If people would take the advice of W.
C. Russell, the druggist, they never
