THE SUPREME COURT AMEND
MENT.
"It Is to be hoped that those of Mr.
Crisp's friends who are continually urslrg
him to enter tha rue* for the United
States senate will quit nnnoylng him on
that line. Mr. Crlnp In right now In tho
place for him. Ilia immediate colleagues
could III nfford to part with him. tin I*

forces In the house, and the only-man
there. It Ires been frequently enld, In whoso
Judgment, Integrity and ability all fse-
ttlona live unUnfltgi* confidence. Ko
Wiclile an Influence In the house that no
other Democrat can, and to.his aid alone,
nil will rally, as ban been nhown n> many
a perilous moment. Sir. Crisp hknstlf
rcougnlsea that In the lowar house ho
can accompilnh most for tho party and
so stated In hla letter to Governor Nor-
then, declining the appointment as the
Inte Senator Colquitt's successor. But In
the face of all this there are thoeo who
are insisting, even thin late In the rSce,
thnt lie enter for tlio United Slates ssn-
ntorslilp. while many more wish to look
upon him an a dsrk home In cose of the
deadlock, which they are praying for, will
come about.
"The Inlereate of national Democracy
demanded that the distinguished repre
sentative of the Third congreanonsl dis
trict of Osorgla continue to represent bln
constituents In the office ho now doe*.
W* may want-Crisp In the senate hereaf
ter, but at present tho place for him le
elsewhere."
The allow editorial from our neigh
bor In 'Pulnakl county, tho Hawkins
vlllo Dispatch anil News, will moot the
cordial indorsement nml approval of
nil thinking men throughout tho slate.
It la also HiguJtU'iiut from the fact that
our good friend, Col. John TV Water
man, its editor, It also the cohlidontlnl
private secretary of Judge Crisp. Ills
declaration, therefore, that Speaker
Crisp, of whom nil Gcorgiam. are Justly
proud, himself desires to remttlu In tho
houso of representatives, must ho taken
as auttiorluit'.ve. Wo are extremely
gratified to know that Judge Crisp
himself feels that his truo Held for use
fulness, is in lho national, house of rap-
rosentdtivos. Wd tire confident that tho
next house will bo Democratic by o
good majority. Judge Crip will, of
oourse, lu that event, be tlio next
npcaker. Ho Is above all others, how
ever emlarilt, recognised ns the ono
man who Is tho real leader of tho Dent-
ooratlo majority In that body. He pe
culiarly possesses the faculty of bar
moulting tlio contending factious of tho
party, and while firm as a rock where
patty principles are nt stake, he pos
sesses the rjfe power of bringing to
gether hi harmonious nml united ac
tion tlio apparently discordant elcmenls
of h'.s owu party. Wo repeat, therefore,
thnt not only the people of Georgia, but
the Democratic party of the. ent.re
Union, are to bo congratulated upon tlio
fact that Judge Crisp has decided to
tcmaln as tho Dmiocndlo leader of tbo
national house of representhtlvos.

occasion It failed, not from the hostility

A large proportion of citizens, not hav

their attention, were undecided whether
tlio membership of the court should be

Bor against the amendment. There Is
some danger that It may mee.t with a
similar fate this time for the same rea
son, and wo therefore think tho Savan
nah News makes a wise suggestion
when It says thnt tho Democratic com
mittee should request campaign speak
ers to discuss tho matter before the peo
ple. We publish elsewhere this morn
ing it statement showing the increase
In the business of the court during re
cent years and a comparison of the
nmoiint of thnt business .with that In
the courts of other states of about the
same population and wealth as Geor
gia. We think this showing ought to
convince voters that an increase lu the
number of tho Judges Is absolutely nec
essary, In the general Interest.
Tlio question concerns every citizen.

That It is easy to misrepresent the ac

THE PUBLIC LIBRARY.
During tho Inst few days several
communications have appeared in the
Telegraph, In which tho writers advo
cated the turning over to the ^toaid of
education of the property ot the Public
Library and the administration of the
affairs of thnt useful institution hereaf
ter by the board. At last night's meet
ing of tho hoard a committee was ap
pointed to confer with the director* of
thu library, and tlio proposed plan will
no doubt tie carefully investigated, with
n view to reaching the decision required
by tho public Interest.
As our correspondents have shown,
thu plan Is not a new or untried one.
It Is lit operation in many of the cities
of the North-and works successfully.
ID those olties tho fact Is rocogu.zed
that n public library ,s an eUlelcut If
not nn Indispensable part of the educa
tional system, and it is therefore not
left to the casual aid of the generous
or to take its chances of support mu
contributing members, but is set ou
firm basis nnd Its utmost capacity far
good fully developed. It Is shown by the
statements uf our correspondents who
have examined into the matter that the
board of education can take over the
Public Library and run it a linos: with
out expense, to Itself. In fact, about
the ouly additional expense would be
In the purchase uf new books, and this
at course would bo always within the
discretion of the board.
Wo hopo tne couun,tteo from the
hoard will enter upon thu consideration
of this plnu with a friendly disposition
"toward it. The iuflucnco (if tbo library
Is ttulversally acknowledged. It has
done much for tlio good of tho com
munity in tho past nnd ought to do
more In the future. Its existence ought
n >t to depend upon the efforts of a few
men. working without remuneration lu
Its behalf. If forced to so depend, the
time may come when the library will
not find friends Who will sacrifice them
selves ami then the community will
lose Its benefits. Tlio qucqtkm Is not
such a one as arises In trade. It is
notnlng more than whether oiJ not the
publlo will bo benefited by putting the
library lu a position to largely- Increase
its Influence. If tlio board of educa
tion can put it In such a position with
out unduly lucraislng its own burdens,
we think It should do so.

ENGLISH PHARISEES.
It strikes us that tho governors of
our Southern states arc paying more at-'
tentlou than they deserve to tlio little
bind of English Pharisee!, who propose
to reform tho morals of rills country.
They ore a thoroughly contemptible
lot, without knowledge of tho condi
tions that exist here. Incapable of
learning nnd strong only In thoir con
viction of their own superior virtue. A
committee of them roaming arnuud
these states might make itself a nui
sance of a mild sort, but one which are
think our people should regard with
contemptuous tolerance. Wo don't sec
why tho British nation should bo held
responsible for the action ot these Phar
isee*, nor why their doings should bo
regarded as Important or signiffcant
enough to excite anybody's anger. The
facts in the case which they come to
investigate are known to all men. Ne
groes arc lynched In the South gener
ally because ot a brutal offense against
women, but occasionally because ot
other crimes. In the first ease, publlo
opinion sustains the act ot tho lyncher*
while deprecating the, necessity of such
uu set. In ithc tyher. It does not and
desires In every raM that the lynchers
shall be punished. In neither ease do
the lynchen arl in conjunction or with
the tolerance of the lawful authority.
If this committee of English Pharisees
thinks It can bring about a reform It Is
very much mistaken. Possibly by ex
citing national CBlmoslty by import!
nent Interference Itjuuy make lynch
ing* more frequent, though wc would
'bo sorry If this should be the result ot
Its mission.

LAYING A CORNERSTONE.
WATER POWER AND ELECTRICITY
To 'the Editor of the Telegraph: The
papers Inform us that a constitutional
convention has been lattely sitting In
Albany. N. Y.. to consider the status of
rights of water power already granted
to rixnpanlea for tho purpose of gen
erating electricity, etc.. In view of a
proposed diversion ot the Niagara river
fr more extended operation in -the Same
direction. It le etuted that those nl-
reutly granted hzve secured cheap
cower, not bnly to Buffalo and other
near place* but Indeed to the whole
of New York state.
The capacity of this enormous natural
force la estimated at nearly 6,000,0«-
horse power. In a well regulated plant
one-horse power, generated by steam,
crate for t*n-houi>daya about $10 a year;
but with the amount at command *t
Niagara Falls that can be reduced to
$15. or even less. The Niagara Falla
Company has recently completed a tun
nel coating $3,000,000; this with a similar
one on the Canadian side will develop
an aggregate ot 600.00O-horse power, and
It U»iit-;d by experts that the new Bleer
trie force to be generated there will be
at least one-third Cheaper than steam
power.
Jn view of the prospect this opens up
It is Interesting and suggestive lb hear
what Mr. Ferris, the great -wheel man.
thinks of It. He says: "The condition
which will determine ihe relative ex
pansion of towns and cities In the next
decade Is the presenoe of water power.
Any city or town ot thla country which
has a waterfall within an available dis
tance ha* ao to speak..* Rbld mine.
Water power means the minimum of
cheapness In the generation «f electric
power. You can eislly oee. therefore,
that any city which poweases this ad
vantage must take the lead over any
city which has not. Buffalo, for exam
ple. will absolutely double Its paulaUon
within Hve or ten years, because there
ihe capacity of the water power Is to
all Intent* and purposes limitless."
One mty be pardoned, therefore. In
calling attention to the fact that uur
own dtly can claim to po»-e«s this con
dition for growth and exp.tnelon In an
eminent degree. tVe have long talked
about the fine water power on our river
Ocmulgee. and glowing pictures have
bran minted of the lines of factories
some fine day to adorn her banks, but
R has always been with a sort of rc«r-
vatlon about Its limit* as It was net
quite oo imposing as aome other loca
tions could boast. The new fence of
electricity, bowever, removes any pos
sible mlsxtvlng. os this makes our water
power sooty sufficient for Its genera
tion to meet our root extravagant re
quirement* Without debating the facts
In figures which have often been sta'ed
In the past, and d*»non»ir..-te the practi-
cxbllltv and extent of this, at present,
dormant force, tt may be sold in good
faith thnt this Is a subject sarpwtag
all bthere to engage the earnest, ener
getic thought and effort of our citizen*
and should not be allowed to remain m
abeyance If we wish to hold and nu '
tain the position which belongs to
ot right in the galaxy of cities In this
The Duke of York Makes a Speech at
Liverpool.
London, Sopt. 10.—'Die Duke of York
today laid tho cornerstone of tlio new
Liverpool . postotttoe. Ho spoke at
somo length on tho recent Improvement
of England's mercantile murine. Tho
record passage of five days and cltfit
hours and thirty-eight minutes from
Sandy Hook, he said, remained to the
credit of tho Engfish ships, equipped
with English machinery and manned
and commanded by Englishmen. The
nation was justly proud of the splendid
English fleet, which would prove such
a valuable auxiliary to tho navy In t-me
of war.
He congratulated Liverpool \npon
maintaining its place as ono of tho' fin
est centers of foreign trade. The mag
nificent harbor* wharves and docks
were due to the wisdom and foresight
of Liverpool's citizens. If these cltl-
seos should work In the future with the
spirit they had shown In the past, they
could not fall to retain the' trade they
had gained.
An engrossed address nnd a silver
service were presented to the Duke and
Duchess of York. Tho streets nre dec
orated elaborately. Every appearance
of tlio duko and duchess during their
ehort v.slt has been the signal for an
enthusiastic demonstration.
MADE ANOTHER BIG DEAL.
Now York, Sept. 10.—It Is reported
that Drcxel, Morgan & Co. havo pur
chased the minority holdings of the
Cincinnati extension bonds, which con
trol tho Cincinnati Southern and Ala
bama Great Southern.
