A DANGEROUS EXPERIMENT.
The Times-Recordek lias had occa
sion more than once to condemn as uu-
wise and injurious to the state, such
legislation as is now sought to be enact
ed in the Berner railroad bill.
This bill, representing the esserce of
$6.<x) i the prejudice against railroads, is now

* THE BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
From the Savannah Xe as we learn
that in that section of the state there is
a much better feeling in business circles
than there was a week or two ago. And
this feeling is becoming more apparent
every day. Indeed, the outlook through
out the country for a healthy revival of
trade and in enterprises of one kind and
port of Mr. Iierner’s own committee, to another, is extremely encouraging. Busi-
liicli its reference was made, to insure
such a report back to the house.
That this report was made only by a
vote of eight to seven, is regarded as
equivalent tt> a defeat of the measure.
In fact, foreseeing its defeat in its

through ,the legislature. It is now
sought to have the bill as modified be

that there is no danger in it.

The newspapers when live and earn
est help a town prodigiously—are, in
fact, the most important factors in build
ing up ami enriching a town. Live
newspapers and excellent hotels are ab
solutely essential if there shall be prog
ress and increase of inhabitants in a
town. Live towns understand that
perfectly.
Amiiekst College claims the honor of
having been the first institution iu the
country to make physical exercise a
compulsory part of the college course.
This it did in 1801, The United States
and confederate governments by their
conscription laws of about the same
date also made physical exercise in the
armies compulsory. Amherst shouldn’t
claim too much.
Since the Rev. Henry Watterson got
his prefix from the Sewanee University,
the edge of his orthodoxy seems to be
crumbling. Hear hint: “The making
of rain by the government will not be
altogether a blessing. It will do away
'with the goodly custom of praying for
rain. When men get everything they
want, they w ill never think to speak to
the Lord about it.”
The Brunswick Times is engaged in
teaching its readers the lesson that a
newspaper is responsible for no senti
ments that appear in its columns except
those that the paper expresses itself.
City politics appear ao be waxing
warm thereabouts; and the Times finds
occasion to say that it is the organ of
the whole people; and not of any clique
or wing.
The rain-compelling experiments of
Melbourne in Wyoming are not carried
on at the expense of the government, as
those at Dryenforth in Texas are. Mel
bourne’s experiments are cheap; Dryen
forth’s are costly. Dryenforth wants an
extra appropriation from congress to
continue his experiments; but he will
not bo any more successful as a treasury
compeller than he has been as a rain
compeller.
From Atlanta comes this bit of gossip
about a much-sold newspaper: “The
Tribune-of Rome, which, perhaps,
changes editors as often, or oftener than
any newspaper in the state, has at last
changed hands. Capt. John J. Seay has
sold the paper to Mr. Scantlin, who
comes from Lafayette, Ind., the old
homo of Orth Stein, and it is he who
gave Stein his recent newspaper public
ity. Mr. Seay is entirely out of the
paper.”
The nomination of Evan P. Howell a*
democratic candidate for governor of Georgia
is in range of probability. In fact, that is
the way the slate Is said to lie fixed.—Bruns
wick Times
And when that convention meets, it
will be found that L. F. Livingston’s
name will be on the slate and that ho
will be the next governor of Georgia,
unless the Alliance undergoes a radical
revolution iu sentiment towards their
present chief before that time. Look
out for Governor Livingston.
England has created a decided i
sation in European government circles
by seizing the post of Sigri, on the
Island of Mytelene, near the mouth of
the Dardanelles. The recent Darda
nelles incident has put John Bull ou his
mettle, and he don’t intend to stand ou
any ceremony in protecting his interests,
for his policy has always been to argue
with powder aud shell. England will
blurt' until lighting becomes necessary,
aud then she v ’ll light as long as the
next, not excluding the war-like Turk.
Look out for a racket in Europe before

New York is the hugest of ail Amer
ican cities, and the proportions of the
machinery of its municipal government
almost makes your head swim to con

governments of many foreign countries
and the expense is simply appalling.
The commissioner of public works alone

overwhelming point against the IJerner
bill that the constitutional convention
pecifically refused to authorize just
such legislation as this bill embodies,
on the ground that it would “be pro
ductive of litigation and blackmail.”
But apart from the obvious useless
ness of this measure, there stands forth
a powerful argument against all such
methods: and The Times-Recorder
urges the people aud the legislature to
carefully consider it; it is, that this con
tinued and unnecessary agitation affects
injuriously the market value of all
Georgia securities; thus rendering tuo
development of the state by railroads
difficult, if not impossible. But for her
development by these railroads the past
fifteen years, Georgia would be to-day a
howling wilderness; and yet this very
bill means in plain English the financial
destruction of every railroad company in
Georgia.
If the Berner bill should by any mis
fortune become a law, not a railroad in
Geoigia could raise a dollar in the North
or Europe to build, equip, improve or
devolope their property» Capital would
steer clear of any state whose laws “en-
oourage litigation and blackmail” against
railroads.
The people of Southwestern Georgia
have little personal interest in any of
those lines whose charters or leases are
to he directly affected by this bill; and
hence The Times-Recordek can fairly
oppose such measures as pernicious, on
the high ground that the people of Geor
gia at large are made to suffer loss by
reasou of such anarchical attacks ou
railway property.
The securities in which the people of
this section are mostly interested, are
Southwestern railroad stock, and the
bonds and stocks of the Savannah,
Americus & Montgomery Railroad Com
pany and the Americus Investment Com
pany, none of which are affected, ex
cept sympathetically, by the attack on
the the leases and consolidations of the
lines constituting the Richmond Termi
nal Company. Very few of our people
have any interest in the affairs of this
company, only in so far as what affects
it, affects Southern development gener
ally and Georgia development in par
ticular.
Yet everybody here knows that the
proposed action of the Legislature since
July has materially depressed the securi
ties of the Southwestern railroad, the
Savannah, Americus & Montgomery rail
road aud the Americus Investment Com
pany, not because they can be affected
by anything the Legislature can do; but
because the investing public North and
in Europe feel a big llnaucial disgust to
wards investments in any state that will
even tolerate the serious discussion of
such radical measures as are now pend
ing; aud capitalists, classing every sort
of securities iu Georgia iu one common
category will avoid thorn all as they
would a pestilence.
It is true that the financial stringency
prevailing since last October is the cause
of a portion of the shrinkage in Georgia
securities; but it cannot be denied that
what has been said iu the Legislature
has done as much more towards this de
pression. Witness the fact that 5. A A'
M. bonds and Southwestern stock drop
ped about ten pet cent, simultaneously
with the adoption of the “investigation”
resolutions by the Legislature.
The people of Sumter. Dooly, Wilcox,
Stewart, Webster and other adjacent
counties have too much at stake in the
past and future development of this sec
tion to remain quiet, and without pro
test. nerrait a few demagogues in the
legislature to lead Georgia to destruc
tion, on the pretense that the state
must be saved by the “crushing of mo
nopoly”—a bugaboo existing chiefly in
the vote-craving minds of a few embryo
statesmen in the legislature, w ho would
put a receiver iu charge of every rail
road in the state for a seat in congress.
In the interest of the people of Geor
gia The Timks-Rkcohdkk calls upou the
legislators to defeat this useless and
dangerous assault upon the railway
property of the state, believing in the
light of experience, that the railroad
commission has ample power to stop
all encroachments of monopoly; and if
it is ever found that such is not the
case, then is the time to confer ad
ditional power.
Let it be remembered that “sufficient
unto the day is the evil thereof.”
ness men speak more hopefully of the
future and make contracts with greater
confidence. They act as if they felt that
a period of great business prosperity was
at hand.
And there are good reasons for this
condition of affairs. In the west an ex
traordinarily large wheat crop has just
been harvested aud, owing to crop fail
ures in Europe, good prices are being
obtained for it. In the south the cotton*
crop will be a good one, notwithstanding
the damage it has suffered in local
ities, and the prospect is that it
will command better prices as the
season advances. There has been an ad
vance of a cent a pound in cotton since
the opening of the season’, and a still
further advance in the very near future
is probable. It is true that there was a
little falling off in the price yesterday,
owing to the favorable report of the
condition of the crop sent out by the
agricultural department, but the market
it is safe to say, will soon regain its firm
ness.
All of these things help to make those
who are engaged in business bolder in
their undertakings, and causes the
strong boxes in which money has been
hoarded to be unlocked. Money is now
abundant in New York and it will soon
be much easier to get in all the other
cities and towns of the country. With
plenty of money in circulation, there
will be unusual activity in trade and in
the promotion of industrial enterprises.
In this immediate locality the general
sentiment seems to be that the present
season will be a prosperous one. The
rice crop promises to be larger, and the
indications are that it will be harvested
in excellent condition. Cotton is a little
backward, but the receipts will soon be
enormous, and will put a good deal of
money into circulation. Both the whole
sale and the retail merchants recognize
a marked improvement in trade, and are
anticipating a very prosperous season.
And in the interior towns a better
condition of affairs Is noticeable. The
merchants feel that money is circulating
much more freely, and consequently
they are encouraged to be more liberal
in their purchases. What has been
needed for months more than anything
else is confidence, and that now’ seems to
be in a fair way of being fully restored
With confidence will come money, and
with money unusual activity in all de
partments of business and industry

Opening a political campj#gu with a
kissing bee by way of invoking popular
sympathy for the wife thus placed upon
exhibition is certainly rather a peculiar
proceeding. But that performance on
the part of Candidate Fassett evidently
shows that he intends to conduct his
campaign for the governorship of New
York largely upon the public sympathy
for his wife and mother evoked by their
heroic fortitude in allowing him to kiss
them ou a public political platform.
That sort of sentimental hippodroming
may for a time divert attention from the
construction of the platform. But it is
not a permanent diversion. Doubtless
Candidate Fasset was somewhat prompt
ed to that domestic device by the furore
that Mr. Cleveland’s marriage created
and the attention it attracted to his
young wife. But political ambition
scarcely justifies a man in trading upon
his affection for his family or placing
them on exhibition to attract votes.
The Ohio Republicans a short time
ago started a story to the effect that
Senator Brice of that state was the
owner of the coal mines at Coal Creek,
Tenn., in which convict labor was em
ployed and where the strike of the
miners recently occurred. The lie was
invented as a matter of course for the
purpose of prejudicing the working
classes of Ohio against the Democratic
party in the coining state election, but
Senator Brice has exploded it by making
a very blunt statement to the effect that
ho has not a penny invested iu tho coal
mines of Tennessee. It appears that
the Republicans have commenced lying
quite early in the campaign, and it is a
very tair indication of what the Demo
crats are to expect from them.

dream that they can make this a govern
ment of farmers—a government o f a
class?
The idea is the essence of lunacy and
political suicide, as far as the south is
concerned.
But if the object is, to place this land
under the domination of the Republican
party, and this section under the rule of
ignorant and incompetent blacks, then
the disruption of the Democratic party
by Alliancemen, or others, can be easily
understood.
But this is not possible. The idea
cannot be entertained for a moment that
men who stood with Lee and Jackson,
and Bartow and Cook, and an army of
fallen Democratic chieftains, can now be
in a league with Republican political
tricksters to undermine the Democracy
of the Solid South.
That is the charge against the Third
party agitators in the South—that they
are in league with the common enemy
of the South, the Republican party of
the North. That is the question of the
hour. Is this charge true?
In answer, The Times-Recordeh can
say with emphasis, We don’t believe it.
And when the time comes we are satis
fied that every true son of the South will
be found solidly marching in the Demo
cratic column, and giving the lie to the

The Associated Press gives some very
interesting facts concerning the opera

very thoroughly upsets the claims of the
Republican leaders that the new tariff
bill has had the effect of increasing the
import trade of the country. It also
shows that'certain grades of cotton
cloths, carpets and other articles can be
manufactured in this country even more
cheaply than iu England, and if this is
true, what sense is there in placing a
p inhibitory tariff on these articles, un
less it is to enrich the home manufac
turers by taxing the people. The whole
investigation of the workings of the
McKinley tariff iu Europe show beyond
the shadow of a doubt that it is a tariff
framed in the interest of the plutocratic
classes of this country and that it is op
pressive to the vast body of the people
who are compelled to pay two prices for
