This is the season of the county and state fairs, and it is to be hoped that the old vicious and swindling devices have been ex cluded from the “amusements.” Uni SB so nethii g 01. an and whole some can be offered, better leave out this feature entirely. The races, as usually conducted, are little more than money-making frauds, but if honestly managed 'ns real speed contests they are en tirely unobjectionable. A desire to reform t be old abuses altogether has been manifest of late years, due to demands of disgusted and indignant farmers, and this spirit should prevail until our agricul tural fairs are what they were originally intended to lie. THK MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, OCT. 11. HK)6- THE SOUTH AND GOVERNMENT OWN ERSHIP. Being asked “why the South is not to be benefited by the public ownership of railroads as well as any other part of the count ry,” j The Baltimore Hun replies that it was never conceded that any part of the United States would be be nefited. “On the contrary,” says The Hun “it is believed that such l a revolution would result in a cea izutiou of power in the Federal Government that would be a nieu ! ace to every State in the t ruou, i For Government ownership of railroads means ultimately Gov-! eminent ownership of the States. Notwithstanding the extension of the Federal power in the last 40 ! years, the States still have some J rights upon which no encroach ment have been made. With the I Government at Washington coti | trolling railroad property valued variously at from $111,000,(XX),(XX) ! to $lo,000,(XX),000, and with an army of more than 1,(XU),000 rail road employes holding their posi tions by the favor of the Govern ment and upholding its policies in order that they might retain its favor and continue in Govern ment. employment, the people of | the United States would be con fronted with a most dangerous corn! ition.” That the Southern States, how ever, would be the chief sufferers, The Sill) shows as follows: While every state in tne Union would sutler from the centraliza tion of vast power in the national Government bv tlie Federal own ership ot railroads, the South, by reason of its race problem, would fare worse than any other part of the country. The “Jim-Crow” car system —or the separation of the i me 'H on railroad trains —would j probably be abolished, but this is comparatively a minor matter. Nearly every Southern State lias adopted a new constitution and enucted laws openly designed to keep its Government in the hands of the white people, regardless of negro majorities. There has been no -<-rious effort by the party in power to interfere with the South’s efforts to secure and maintain while supremacy. The right of the State to prescribe the qualifica tions of electors and to limit the electorate, subject to the provi smn of the Federal Constitution, lias not been denied. But with a Government in Washington so strong that it could carry out pro bably any policy and yet remain in power, it is probable that the South would soon be forced to re peal its election laws and admit t lie negro to suffrage with ut t lie qualifications which are now' re quired. F< ■!' centralization on such a colossal scale as is involved in the public owner-hip of rail roads would logically and surely lead to centralization in every other form and to the control of the Stut.l by the Federal Govern ment. If the race question should be reopened in all its phases in the South and all tliut has been gained by legislation should be lost, the Southern States would lie left in a grievous condition, their progress would tie halted, their development arrested. They would lapse into their former state of political turmol, and grave injury would be done to their material interests. There is no part of the United States which would suffer to the same ex tent as the South from Govern ment ownership of railroads and the ultimate establishment of a stupendous contralized power at Washington. This was the view of the matter taken by The Telegraph from the outset, and the fear was expressed that the South’s freedom .would be curtailed even by the results such Government control as is provided ill the rate bill. South ern men advocating Government ownership, with all it involves, is a strange spectacle. GO-FLY keeps flies off Horses and Cattle. Guaranteed by \V. H.
