Americus, Ga. t October 30, 1891 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 lanta Journal. 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.
