to tho cause of (lie recent trouble and
is merely a repetition of what lias been
still In tile netVHpnper* finny times be
fore. The l'nllnnm men ainn-k In-cause
they were not receiving living wages
and the company lefused to restore
tlie rpte to pay which prevailed the
year before. The American Hallway
Union struck, acoonllOK to the leatl-
mony Of one of Its officem, because the
railway managers bad hpacuaced that
they would “back up” the Pullman
company, this uonoODcement I-oink
made in an Interview by one of them In
n newspaper. The oftteinls of the
American Railway Union conv'dercit
that tho railway managers were "luck
ing up” the Pullman company when
they refused to allow their trains
without the Pullman cam.
This part of Uiu testimony, ns we
bny« said, Is an old atory, and proliably
every newspaper reader has made up
Ids mind ns to the merits of the quarrel
between the men and their employers.
Hut there Is another phase of the in
quiry which Is more Interesting und
which deals with the opinions and de
sires of the men in regard to the mnn-
agement of railroads, Each witness is
asked by the. conmriHKluci what Is’his
opinion iu to the best remedy for rail
road labor troubles, and aluiust without
exception they reply that what they
want is government ownership of the
railroads. Asked the reason for this
preference, they do not discuss the
question from the standpoint of the
general public, hut strictly man their
own. The government, they say,
would tic it kind and patient master
and would pay good salaries. I.ook at
the hours of lulxir and the salaries of
postal clerks, they say, and compare
them with railroad employe*.
People In general cannot • e expected
to look nt (Tils question from the stand
point of the railroad employes. They
cunuot expect to get salaries from
gorenuncut-ownrd railroads, l-ut only
lo help pay those salaries out of their
earnings If the government decs not
succeed In making the reads i roillnhle.
And In view of the political [tower
hundreds of thousands of railroad em
ployes, If tho salaries were manifestly
extravagant, the general public Is In
telligent enough to know Unit it would
have n hunt time In bringing r.hout a
reduction to tho level of othor ptople’s
earnings. Tho power of n comparative
ly few men, bound firmly together and
spurred to ncttvlty l>y n common selfish

THE STROLLER.
Of the hundreds of'nilroad men irtto
visit Macon in the Interest ot their re-
speuUve raids there is not one who U
greeted more cordially cmvoo is more
welcome rn*n CApc. John J. Griffin,
the genii!i division freight agent of
vch.it waa formerly the Ea<t Tennessee,
and his thousands of friends ihrough-
uii. the stare 4re pleased to learn that
he wjs m/t lost in tnt recent Shuffle,
bdt is Mill in his old position, working
harder than ever before, If such a
thing Is possible.
It is Just us easy for Capt. Griffin to
get 'tne business of Macon 'merchant*
when it comes to competition as it is
for a'dui* tto swim. They know him
und have trusted aim tor years, and
feel assured when a shipment U turned
over to him that i: is to their advan
tage. Tlure their interests are his in
terests and that be will tote fair with
them. ,
Tne Stroller met Capt. Griffin on the
street yer.erday and asked him how
he flkod the new order of things, mean
ing, of course, the. Southern Kailway
Company.
"It** the best thing that has hap
pened to this court try in years," was
rhe Answer, "and you will soon begin
lo see<rhe good effects of It."
"is not the Southern Railway Com
pany too large a. corporation to be han
dled Judiciously?" tho Stroller asked.
"if you knew Mr. Spencer, who is at
the head of It, you would never oak
such a querfUon," answered the captain
positively. "He Is capable of band.ing
the railroad system of the country and
*hls superior doesn't exist. I feel safe In
making the assertion than he will so
perfeck the Immense system under his
control that It will excite the admira
tion of the railroad world. He Is a
builder-up and not a wrecker, and
then, too, he is to the manor bom and
knows wnait railroading 4n the South is.
It is no experiment with him. He
knows the condition# ot the country
a>o.l people and how to meet them, and
being a native of the South will do ev
erything to ulM ft up."
•Mi*. Spencer has proven to the peo
ple of Georgia that he knows a good
railroad man when he sees him by re
taining the ever popular and genial
Capt. Griflin in the freight service.

from a desire to win “([lory'" for tho

only tuiolher dcnum.Mr.itIon of tliu won

It is true that there has for rnnny

nmtlua Jnpnneso from their uclRhbors
of tlie mnlidnud 'o Mie west, nnd Is also
true tl>nt tlie Japanese tinve always
been a military people, but the spirit
now manifested h nevertheless very
different from what would have Peru
shown a concretion ago, Then Iho an
tipathy to tho (,'hlucsc whs pcrsoimt to
the Individual Japanese miller tlmn nn
tionnl, thoiiiih each Japanese felt It,
nnd tliu Japanese mUltnry pride con
tered In tho prowess of tho Individual
soldier rather ihan In the army. Then
Japan was tho only eoumry In which
Mm old foudnl system' still existed,
nearly Ui pcrfeculan, with the result
that It had n soldier class, no member
of which could betray any tack ot tho
qualities aud accomplishments of n sol
dier without' disgrace, but there w ns
ltttlo or no nat .inal pride. Now we
see the whole nation rushing to arms,
eager to fare nay danger or make any
sacrifice In order to gratify tho prldo ot
tiu: nation.
lYrhnps this feeling Is nil tho stron
ger In Ihe Japanese because they lmvo
no record of successful wars waged
against a forelgu enemy. The histories
ot the Western nnthms whose e'xlliiri-
Men they are Imitating Is largely nuide
up of the record »t aatlonnl wars. Jn>
pun's soldiers, or rather her warrior
class, luire found employment only in
the wars of her feudal Ionia with earli
other, or In rebellious ngatust tho cen

tion, new methods, new Ideals, the Jap
anese umy well tliluk their history
petty pud earnestly desire to raise It to
the dignity'of the Western examples
which they o^iulre nnd mltnlo.
The task which Japan has underta
ken, of humiliating .thlnn In war, ts a
great one. She Is vastly weaker in men
and wealth, but lias the udrantage of
better preparation. A recent pamphlet
issued by our own uavjr department
sliuws Mint she ran pat In iho ficKI an
army ot 300,000 UdriHighiy trained

fielent oflieent. China tins no equal mil
itary force, though slio can [Hit lu tlie

her ability to arm and feed them. In

tiuu even clumera if warning.

To Ihe Editor of tho Telegraph: I
notice two very decided changes In nn
article published In yesterday's Tele

give It an entirely different meaning
from that Intended. The changes are
the result of leaving out certain por-
tlonn of Mie original lu two places. I
cited the Intv of 181)1, ns Mie only law
on nominations, and said Mint it only
does so by legalizing the rules made by
Mie party Tun the government nnd
management of its selections of candi
dates for olllces. The sense Is des
troyed by leaving out so much.
Again, I refered to tho bumlmstry

tion of Mio chairman of tho executive
committee, and you hnve left out the
word chairman, which make the charge
of biiinbuHtry nnd cgotLsm apply to the

It should be. Denso do me the kind

In these places, Respectfully,

Henderson, August 18, 1804,
By the time the Telegraph Is read
this morning It may be tint one of
the tramps who attempted sn outrage
bn Miss Alary Ida Yates In the Warrior
district last Friday Is swinging from a
tree in the neighborhood of the field
where be attempted his crime.
-Last night about 11 o’clock several
gentlemen left the city with a man
answering the description of one of the
tramps, whh hud been captured by a
clUxen at the VIneville branch, for the
purpose of having him ldenUfied by
Allss Yates, and If he proved to be the
right man It Is needless to say he Is
now swinging from a limb with his
body full ot lead.
The man captured last night Is sup
pose to have negro blood In his veins
and Is said by some to be a son of
Jeff Long, -the tailor. This, however,
causes some doubt In the minds of some
as to his being the right party, ns
neither of the men described by Allss
Yates bad the appearance of being pf
mixed blood. The whole affair was
kept so quiet, however, that It was lm
possible to learn the full facts without
bedng Initiated, and the report that the
man arrested wus of mixed blood Is
only rumor, and may hxye been put out
for the purpose of throwing off suspi
cion as ta the true identity of the per
son under, arrest. But one thing Is cer
tain and that lx that a’ party of armed
men took a cwpttve to the Wiamor dis
trict for the purpose of haring Alins
Yates Identify him, and if he proves to
be the right party 11 ts nut hard to
guess what disposition will be made of
him. Today will probably bring full
developments of the whole affair.

LYNCHING IN GEORGIA—A COR
RECTION.
From the London Spectator of July
28, 1824.
To the Editor of the Spectator: In
rhe Spectator of June IS you use very
strong ntords In denunciation of a bru
tal lynching anil skinning of a negro,
saJd 10 have been committed in the
suns of Georgia, which would have
been emlilcntly fitting nnd upproprUt
if It had been true. Out as it la not
race, and *mly fiction, othel words
equally siront'Vnlgtw be used which
would -have been as unpleasant to yob
as yours huve been to ua. - t
On reading your article (reaflved on
July 6) I’at once sent a copy of it to
■the executive head'of tail) sane, Gov
ernor W. J. Northern ,taking it 'he had'
heard of such on occurrence, .us It had
not come ;o my knowledge, tan*-1 have
nia Teply. ln<tMa he says he Vccelved
u clipping of a PhlkulclphU pafcer con-,
tabling a telegram from London about
a aensatioiul affair which was supposed
to have taken place 1n riercefcounty,
Georgia. Immediately he telegraphed
to the sheriff of that county for par
ticulars. who replied tiuit the story was
devoid of day trirai. Governor Northen
also wrote to one ot the best known
business men In southern Ceorgla, re
siding at Mlacksheur. the county si
ot Ph-rcc, requesting him to make _
personul and thorough investigation
and ascertain If there wus a vestige
of truth 1n the story. Ills report was
emphatic lhat It wus .1 pure notion and
twit no such crime avis ever commit
ted In -the county; no part of tne hor
rible dstdka-hns uny basis of fact, and
the whole of the report la absolutely
untrue.
A almlkir story was recently on rec
ord as having occurred In a Western
state, birt this also was denied by the
governor ot that state nnd denounced
*3 a canard. . 4
Credulity appears to be epidemic la
England irt present and the law of
supply und demand In full operation.
TWa la proved by the success .of the
Id* Me.la crusade, and the unmlataka-
b e evidence we have that any coiwra-
dlcilon of her false a rale menus wUl not
be even considered. Your article about
lynching which was to hind about two
weeks sgo was cvtdemly based upon
this orate of feeling, and your usually
calm smd considerate judgment of men
and -rhtnga was certainly under eclipse.
The woman rolled In a barrel stuck
full ofn-alio, and the lynohlng of wo
men Slid children, are exactly on a par
with this Georg.* skinning. And on
suoh absurd stories as these you have
berated u< as ironic than Turks and
pagana, and called on the Nora to
««>• Tophet of territorial
Inferiority <0 keep company with the
polygamous sinners of Ua*. From this
dread fate, however, we would Inform
you wo *re for the prescut safe, as
such u disposition of sovereign states
ts nog provided for in our constitution
Governor Northen closes his letter
ihus: I am thoroughly disgusted wrist
the course of these English papers. I
son trow satisfied that they do not woolt
- la t, Uut ^ » n> > 1 not think
I shall trouble myself about their state-
meats furrher."
With this conclusion I am competed
to agree, and that tUl you know this
tknunern,people better, or think It is
to your interest u> believe them; we
will Dave to submit to the mUrenre-
eeomtteM Wtg Political or eecuSSi

A BATTLE IMMINENT.
Chinese and Japanese Troops Concen-

London, Ang. 20.—Tho earl ot Kim
berly, secretary, of state for foreign nf-
fuirs, has ordered tho customs nutliorl-
Ucs at Glasgow to soizo tho warship
Islam, which Is being fitted out there
for either China or Jnpau. Tills order
was Issued under tho foreign enlistment
uct, as was also tho order of Inst 8at-

pedo catcher, build at iho Elstvlck
1 works for China.
Tho Globe Mils afternoon applauds
the government for acting wlMi vigor
In preventing a violation of the enlist
ment act, saying: “It is plain that It
docs not Intend 10 allow another Ala
bama to be fitted out. we were very
sore about the Alabama Uecislonf yet
there Is no doubt iliat It was, In prin
ciple, perfectly right.”
The Globe’s commendation was
caused by tho order of the custom of
ficers at New castle to seize, under tlie
foreign onltstmont net, n torpedo
cnteJier, built by tba Elstvlck works for
China and detain It until condemned
or released by process of law.

Tho veto message sent by President

to be second lieutenant lu the artillery,
to bo placed immediately ui>oa iho re

Messrs. Ahlrlch and Chandler, In du

These speeches had been prepared with

they might reply, and Inasmuch ta thi
Democrats hud been given eveiy 00
portunlty to speak during the loig de
