A Plea For Law And Order Always .
111 <1 isftiH-tug tin* firemen'ii
strike on the Georgia Komi it f<-w
tiny* ago Tin* Telegraph urged the
importance of a maintaining law
and order. It said that “the ob
ject of government wan to protect
1 in* weak” —not 111 unlawful acta,
nor acta of violence —hut to pro
tect them in the discharge of law
ful deeds; to protect them in the
freedom of individual action ho
long iih that freedom did not in
terfere with the lawful action and
Individual freedom o! others.
The Telegraph aaid further that,
the civil authnntiea “ahould ex
ert every possible effort to protect
peraona and property I rum injury
and alao to protect the strikers
from the forays of a criminal
class which dolawless acta in their
iiauies. The liremen live at the ter
minal points. Violent outbreaks
along the line of the Georgia Road
are not committed by them. The
engineer* cannot ho accused of a
want of human sympathy for the
liremen who attend them, no mat
ter what may possibly bo their in
dividual opinions as to the wis
dom of (lie strike, and yet those
same engineers are afraid to go
out on their runs. They are afraid
of personal violence —not com
mitted by the striking firemen—
but by a lawless class who have,
unsolicited, fastened themselves
to this contention like Hies to a
raw spot scarified by a surgeon’s
knife. These engineers call for
protect ion—railroad p r n p e r t, y ,
needs protection—the public, who
is the greatest sulVorer, demands
protection —protection against the
anarch}’ of this lawless class. The
strong arm of the State should
protect society against anarchy,
ami put the controversy back in
to the hands of the original con
testants —the railroad eonipany
and the firemen, and lot them
tight it on' <m peaceful, legitimate
lines. The tin men have a right to
strike; and they have the right to
resort to all lawful and peaceful
means to whip the light—the right
bv persuasion or other natural and
legal means, to keep others oil" the
job. liut no outside and vicious
element which resorts to violence
has any natural, legal or moral
right to imperil life and limb and
property."
I hose words have been approved
by thousands. The telegraph has
heard from turmers, laboring men.
professional men, from judges on
the bench, and from the strikers
themselves, and with one voice
the.V have said that lhe Telegraph
stated the case with judicial fair
ness and truth.
H is m order at all times, m all
cases, and under all eircuin-,
atances, to hold up Itefore the
people and for the people the j
beacon light of “Liberty" which
can be secured and maintained
only by the government of law
and the maintenance ot order;
and there can be no real govern
unlit ot law and maintenance ot
order which is not based on Jus
tice and 1 ruth, because justice
and truth are dominant principles
of the heart and lungs of society,
and society 1- made like the or
ganism of mao—with its heart for
one ministry, its lungs for an
other, its pancreas, its liver,
its hands and feet each for
another. If one of these organs
become di-oasd tie* whole body
is sick. Men. and groups of men.
are the component parts ot society
just as the several organs are the ,
component parts of the human
body. Hut the heart and lungs
and brain arc the dominant or
gans, holding the balance in !
in freedom and health by perfect
action and direction. These or
gans, t herefore, perform the gov- j
einmental functions in the Larger !
Man called society. Truth and
justice are their dominating prin
ciples—when in order. When dis- i
orders up pour the corrective of
Truth and Justice must be ap
plied, by every throb of the Heart,
by every inspiration of the Lungs
and every dictate of the ISrain. |
| There is no health without it. j
There is no freedom, no happiness
j without it.
These liremen and the railroad
company are alike a part of the or
ganism of society, and when a dis
turbance breaks out between them
I the whole of society is injured if
t ile correct ivo influencec of Truth
and Justice are not brought to bear
I by t he 1 leart and Lungs and Bruin ;
| that is the govermental influences, j
But if this influence is weak—if it '
stops to parley with temptation j
—if it. dickers —there is danger to j
the whole social organism—the j
wind" Larger man.
I
It is tlie duty, therefore of the j
government —the civil authori
ties—to preserve order; to de
mand the peace; lirst by procla
mation of a persuasivo character, j
and second by the stronger arm if!
necessary. But the second step j
may not be necessary if the first I
is taken. All men should be
warned promptly and in time t>>;
violate no law; all the State’s'
ollieers should be enjoined to pro- j
serve the peace. All the correct
ive and healing inllticnces from
the Head, Heart and Lungs of so
cietv, which is 'ho government,
should lie brought, to bear upon
the sore [daces in a body—a wise
Brain direct ion, a healthy Heart'
action, and a purifying Lung
movement ; all tor the common
good. But it will fail if tliero is
not the lundamontal motive-prin
ciple of Truth and Justice behind
! d.
Ol course, these suggestions are [
predicated upon the assumption
that there is no longer a prob
ability ol a settlement between
the contending parties on their!
own volition.
There must be peace and quiet
while the right and honefieient. i
corrective is being sought and ap
plied.— Macon Telegraph.
FIRE THREATENS BIG
LOSS IN AUGUSTA.
Yugusta, May -50. Fire broke:
Hit early to-night in the dry
goods store of Andrews Bros., on
Broad streel 's busiest block, and
before being quelled several thous-'
and dollars damage resulted,
j The loss cannot he estimated!
exactly to-night. However, the
damage is fully covered bv in
surance. defective wiring is said
to have been the cause of the tire,
t’liiol Reynolds and his men made
a brave tight and checked quickly
a fire which probably would have
resulted in disaster to the eutire
business section if it, had gained
much more headway.

nounce that the funeral service,

THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR—THURSDAY, JUNE X. 1000.
TAX COLLECTOR WOOD
MAKES A REPORT.
lii this issue of The Monitor
' will be seen a report from Tax
i Collector R. Newton Wood of
Montgomery County. The report
is perfectly clear, but for the
| benefit of thosu who may not un
derstand the matter, it may be
said that, no settlement, bad been
| made with Mr. Wood in time for
the examining committee to in
j elude this rep. »rt in the general
presentments as recently publish- *
. ed.
As explained in the introduc
tory to the report, the same is a
copy of that tendered the county
j commissioners, on which a set tle
ment was mat!.* with Mr. Wood
] May 4th, and he is desirous of
! having the information 111 the
report before the public before
! the next report of the book coin
: mitt.ee in the fall.
Possibly no tax collecting offi
cer in many years has giveivgreat
er satisfaction than Mr. Wood,
and it is with regret on the part
of many friends that his term of
office is finish..-<l. If there has ever
been any dissatisfaction as to his
administration of the affairs of
the office, the same has not come
|to our »*ai's. Mr. Wood is a good,
solid man, and us a county officer
has subserved the interests of our
people. His \v<»rk has been well
done, and in every way lie merits
the f nil confidence and esteem of
the people of Montgomery county.
