Joe HJH Hall fought hard against
%r the disfranchisement bill, but he
managed to rally but fifteen votes to
his support. The House doubtless
thought that in helping Joe in the
anti-pass legislation it had done
enough for the statesman from Bibb.
There Is no doubt, too, that the public
, generally favors the disfranchisement
of the negroes to as great an extent as
is possible tinder the Constitution, j
There 1b no possibility of the defeat I ;
of disfranchisement when it goes be- I ;
fore the voters at large. * i
sentiment was against them.
The backbone of the strike of the telegraphers is broken. There Is
no doubt of that. The Associated Press is handling its service almost as
effectively as before the walk out of its operators, in the large cities the i
two telegraph companies are rapidly catching up. In a few days there
will be a flood of strikers pouring back for their old places. Some will *
* ’ i
get them, some will not. But their Union will have received a blow that
f (
it will not get over in a long time. j
As far as can be ascertained from the newspapers throughout the I
country the public sentiment of the public was against the strikers. With- *
out public sentiment in its favor no great strike, in all probability, can 1
l
ever be won.
Two things conspired to bring the public sentiment against the
operators. One wap the precipitateness of their demands. Take the Associa
ted Press operators, for instance. They made demands that required to
be on by directors scattered throughout the country, and gave two
hours in which they could come to a decision, a sheer physical impossibility.
Their strike was apparently a mere piece of wantonness.
Then the commercial operators failed to abide by their own organization
rules. There was no order for a strike, but a series of local strikes,
arising from causes that might have been successfully arbitrated. None
of the differences-appeared to have been insuperable and necessitating a
resort to the strike as the last weapon in the hands of labor.
If the strikers had proceeded differently the sympathy of that public
might have been, probably would have been, aroused in their behalf. The
general public not look with any too kindly an eye on the telegraph
They are 't’teg'Sed in the general estimation almost in the same
clasß as the Standard Oil Compapv. It would not have been a very difficult,
proposition to have aroused the public sympathy. But the public sense
of decency was outraged by certain features of the strike, more than ail
by the peremptory tone of the Associated Press operators who had previously
never presented a single grievance for redress.
As a general proposition the mass of people in this country are willing
to side with labor at any and ail times in any reasonable demands it may
make. But unreasonable demands are apt to awaken public opposition,
and unreasonable actions always do.
If the telegraphers had just grievances, and It is not unlikely that
they have some, they adopted a very poor course to secure their redress.
Their leaders would doubtless have preferred arbitration to a strike, and
if allowed to have a free hand would doubtless have won something for
their Union. But the rank and file took the bit in their mouths and as a
result another telegraphers strike seems doomed to ingnominous defeat.
There is a lesson in this. Precipitate action is always likely to injure
any cause, no matter how just. Public sentiment should be sedulously
cultivated. And any such injustice as that perpetrated on the Associated
Press should be avoided. Out of such experiences as this, though, labor
Unions will derive benefit. The Unions are here to stay, to grow more
influential and more powerful, but more and more they will come to Insist
on arbitration of alldifferences by intelligent, unbiased outsiders, and the
costly, dangerous and usually fruitless strike will be abandoned as a
weapon save in the most extreme cases. Labor Unions have accomplished
■ much for the betterment of the condition of working men, they are doubtless
1 destined to accomplish still more, but the strength they have accumulated
should be used with discretion, with due regard to public as well as private
. interests.

STATE PRESS COMMENTS.
(Athens Banner.)
There is a bill before the legisla
ture creating the office of state aud
itor; some of the newspapers are not
only advocating its passage, but are
advocating several assistants for the
department. We are opposed to the
measure, especially so, since it has
become apparent that the object of
the office is to provide positions for
many who are seeking fat jobs at the
expense of the state.
(Macon News.)
A Denver man says he has kissqd
his wife 40,000 times in twenty years.
He either loves her or has her badly

(Columbus Ledger.)
The legislators are happy; after
spending the summer scrapping over
men and measures they will adjourn
Saturday night until next summer
when the same program will again
be carried out.
(Sava nnull I’ress.)
!
The placing of an enormous bur
den upon the railroads is equivalent
to putting an insuperable obstacle in
their development. The people pf
Georgia do not want cheap rates as
much as they want fair rates. They
do not care for good accommodations
and schedules at the expense of the
railroad companies. The spirit of
fair play, so highly developed, in our
people, is opposed to senseless at
tacks and uncalled-for harassing.
And particularly is gratuitous per
secution deplorable when it is accom
panied with a prospect of great and
material stagnation.
(Augusta Clirouicle.)
No object should be put in the way
of prohibition. It should have a fair
trial, on all hands. Meanwhile, if
any body can solve the paradox pre
sented by the rustic sage and phi
lospher of Edgefield, let him come to
the front. All rational men know
that temperance is infinitely better
than intemperance; but what may be
called the intemperance of temper
ance, is in its last analysis, fanat
ically developed, “the falsehood of
extremes.”

M. 0.0. TREATMENT
Even if mercury and potash could cure Contagious Blood Poison the
condition in which these strong minerals leave the system would make the
“cure worse than the disease.” But they cannot cure the vile disorder;
they can only cover up the symptoms for awhile or mask the disease in
the system, but as soon as the treatment is left off the hideous symptoms
return. Mercury and potash eat out the delicate lining of the stomach and
bowels, produce chronic dyspepsia by drying up the gastric juices, cause the
teeth to decay, and often completely break down the constitution, and where
they are used in large quantities, the bones become affected, while the
disease for which one has so long taken this destructive treatment has
not been cured. Contagious Blood Poison is a disease it will not do to trifle
with. It is a vile, dangerous and destructive disorder. When the blood
becomes infected with its virus the mouth and throat ulcerate, hair and eye
brows come out, glands in the neck and groin swell, copper-colored spots
appear on the flesh, and in severe cases sores break out on the body, the
finger nails drop off and the sufferer is diseased from head to foot. S. S. S.
is the only known antidote for Contagious Blood Poison—tlie one remedy
that is able to get to the root of the disease and force out every particle of
the poison so that there are never any signs of its return. It is purely
vegetable, made entirely from roots, herbs and barks of known curative
value. Instead of leaving bad after-effects as some medicines do, S. S. S.
tones up every part of the system and puts every part of the body in perfect
health. It will also remove any lingering effects of former mineral treatment
while eradicating the poison from the circulation. S ecial book on the home
