The Survival of the Fittest.
\VAVNEH130UO, GA.. MAY 28. 1880.
It now seems to be definite
ly settled that our president will
cease to be a bachelor on tbe 2d of
J une.
tJ/T We regret to state that the
lion. Jefferson I)ayis, though im-
nroving, is still confined to his
house. Tbe Gordon boom was
enough to make the old statesman
sick.
Since the suspension of the
joint discussions, the excitement
lias passed oft' and the interest in
the contest has subsided to a great
extent. Now, that sober sense pre
vails, we have no doubt, that the
people will conclude that we need
a good, level headed man for gov
ernor and not a general. In this is
sue we publish several complimen
tary notices of the lion. J. J. Jones,
clipped from papers In differrent
parts of the state.
Oi l! PAPER.
The True Citizen is the only
paper edited and published In this
county. For this reason some of
our patrons Insist that we should be
neutral on all issues effecting the
public. There are two sides to
every question. The truth is best
attained by fair, honest, open and
candid discussion. To this end our
columns shall always be as free as
the air we breath to both sides, so
long as the c-Mcles are written in a
proper spi and present an argu
ment worthy of being heard. We
have decided convictions on all
measures of public policy, and as
journalists we shall never hesitate
to give our readers the benefit of
our views and that side which we
consider right the influence of our
paper. We shall always advocate
those principles which elevate the
morals of the people and the tone
of society, and support those meas
ures which best promote the social,
political and material interest of
tli(> country. We live in a world of
change, and as journalists it is a
duty which we owe ourselves, our
paper and our patrons to keep our
readers informed and to press such
measures as well as keep them on
the side of truth, genuine reform
and the progressive spirit of an age
of advancement.
Tim UAH.IIOAI) COMMISSION.
Two years ago it was contended
that unless the railroad commission
was abrogated, there never would
be any more roads constructed in
the state and those already in ex
istence would become bankrupt.
A vigorous and determined effort
was made in the last legislature to
repeal the law, but the legislators
were true to the people, and the
law stands. The roads have not
been bankrupted, and never before
in this state has there been such a
railroad boom. Theory was raised
only to frighten the people. It will
be a dark day for Georgia when the
present law is weakened. There is
more danger to this country from
the overshadowing power of great
corporations than from all other
evils combined. We are not hostile
to corporations, on the contrary we
believe they are of vast benefit to
the country. They should be foster
ed and protected, and at the same
time the laws should be so shaped
as to define and limit their powers
within proper bounds. Every can
didate for the legislature should be
pledged to support the law as it
now stands, lie member that the
price of liberty is eternal vigilance.
ures fairly and Impartially, always
being careful to give even “tbe
devil his due.” A paper that can
not, or will not report fairly the
occurrences at a public discussion,
how can its readers put faith in
anything else that emanates from
it? This is a serious matter, and
we call on our great dailies to give
it their best attention.
HON. J. .1. JONHS.
Ilelow we copy several very com
plimentary notices from some of
the leading weekly papers of the
state of the above named distin
guished gentleman, Burke’s choice
for governor, and wo endorse every
word said:
Madison MndlRonlnn,2lRt lust.
“The political editor of the Madi
sonian had the pleasure of being a
college mate of “Jenks,” and a
member of the same literary socie
ty with him, and know him well.
He takes pleasure in endorsing him
as a gentleman of great moral
worth, unswerving integrity, splen
did ability, and as true to democra
cy as the needle to the pole.”
Washington Gazette, 21st Inst.
“The Gazette congratulates the
good people of Burke on the resur
rection of the Hon. John Jenks
Jones. lie is a democrat of pure
blood, an upright, able man and
worthy of any honor his state can
bestow. He is too good a man to
stoop to the mean arts of the pro
fessional politician. We are glad
to read the eloquent praise of his
own home people in behalf of his
just claims to preferment.”

Mr. J. W. Umphries has invented

The Citizen has our deepest
sympathies in the loss of the editor-

ly aquainted with Mr. W. 1). Sulli

of that indomitable courage and
sterling manhood, and fidelity to
truth and justice, that enabled him
to be, as the immortal Garfield said,
“A man who dared to look the devil
in the face, and tell him was the
devil.” His death is a loss to our
best journalism, and the truths he
has spoken will remain to mature
and bring forth fruit to adorn his
crown of immortality.

PARTISAN NHHSl’APKItS.
It is tv matter of great regret to
see how extremely partisan our
leading daily newspapers are be
coming.
A newspaper should not only
furnish for its readers all the latest
news, giving a true and accurate
account of every occurrence of any
Interest transpiring, but it should
discuss fairly and truthfully all
matters in which the people are
interested. It should not be so
wedded to one man, or to one meas
ure, that it cannot seo any good
thing unless it comes out of their
Israel. Were it not so serious a
matter it would be laughable to
read tho daily accounts given by
our three leading dailies of tbe cam
paign speeches of our gubernatorial
candidates.
Their representatives seem to be
the most accurate reporters, and
yet each of them, though they see
and hear the same men, and the
same speech, and at the same time,
their accounts differ as widely
as the North from the South. Is it
possible that sensible, truthful men
can bo so prejudiced that they can
not describe what they see, or re
peat what they hear? These papers
while they may think that they are
furthering tho interests of their
candidates, and tiro helping them
to mystify and bamboozle tho peo
ple, wo can assuro them that they
are undermining their own Inter
ests and greatly lessening their in
fluence for good. Tho newspaper
should not only originate and set in
motion matters of interest and of
public good, hut it should he willing j
