Bacon, Crisp and Turner I What slate will be uble to' present throe men who’can approach these three great Georgians? 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* the recognised leader of the Democratic 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. lu this eounectlon \vc take tho I'.bony if making one other suggestion to the Democrats- or Georgia, and it is this Tne Hoa. Henry 0. Tamer, the present distinguished member fretu tbo - i-nth e-,'iignKs.onil district, who will be triumphantly re-elected to that high po sition. Is by common consent rvoognlxrd os tho ablest exponent and defender of the Southern Democratic position upon the great question of tsritt form. It must.be admitted that tlio lower house of congress proem* battlefield where that great Issue must bo met and determined. "The state of Georgia and the national Democratic party cannot now stfont to be deprived of Mr. Turner’s service* In this great struggle. On this high arena the battle must be fought and woo, aud tho Dem ocracy Of the' Mouth has a right to de mand that when tho great Issuo Is Joined Mr. Turner slisll bo present upon the floor ot the house to load tho Democratic foreop to final victory. Georg.a has another son admirably At the election whlcll occurs on Oc- tolier 3 tjie voters of this state will pass upon a proposed amendment to the con stitution Increasing tho number it su preme court Judges from three to five. It Is necessary for Its adoption thnt this, amendment receive a clear major ity of all the votes cost. On n forpier occasion It failed, not from the hostility of voter* lint through tlielHndlfferenee. A large proportion of citizens, not hav ing had the matter called especially to their attention, were undecided whether tlio membership of the court should be -Increased or not anil voted neither for 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. The innn who lltgntes should have a llunl.determination of his enso speedily after It reaches the supremo court and Is argued- there. The man who docs not lltlgnto but whose rights ns a citizen sod property holder are nt stake <s In terested in haring the law settled and decided by adjudications that nre not only speedy but full, exhaustive and permanent—adjudications that do not merely decide ono case, but. that decide principles, preserve consistency In de cisions find certainty In the lnw, and serve as guides to him who wishes to ktiow what tho law Is that he may ob serve It. 'To glvo a Judge more to do than ho can do well nml require him to do It In a limited time, as Is now tha ease with our supreme court Judges, Is a serins public Injury. The respect and a serious public Injury. The respect and supremo court of the United States Is due not only to the ability of the Judgps but to tlio unhurried nml thorough dis cussion accompanying those dec'slons. Tlio nine judges of thnt court meet reg ularly In their consultation room nnfl their decisions are the results of their combined wisdom and knowledge. When live, sensible lawyers meet and come to n conclusion regarding several different law questions and khese ques tions pro then divided up among tho live for each to write out the determi nation reached nml the rcasous therefor, nnd these written opinions arc then re viewed In another meeting of tlio five lawyers, the final decisions are certain ly reached sooner nnd are much more vnhialilo than If tho work had been dotib by ouly three men. This lmthotl of work Is substantially that adopted by courts composed of scverul Judges. Dio temporary question of who nre to Ml tho now offices should not nt ull affect tho ponnaueot question of cre ating tho offices.- The people can put good men Into the now offices as well as lute these now existing. tain date. In satisfying the claims of her cretltors, hut whether slto has the right to put these warrants In a form condemned by the laws of the United States and dangerous to the: Integrity of the currency issued from Washing ton. Just why the Mississippi officials adopted such a form for the wamiuts wo are unable to understand. That It is easy to misrepresent the ac tion of tho federal officials Is shown by s- dlstatch to'the Atlanta Constitu tion, lu which It Is hinted that the gov ernment's purpose Is to show that “nqt even a friend can lake a step that looks like an expansion of the currency with out feeling the mailed hand of the power which receives Its inspiration from the gold-rimmed East.” As the objection of the government Is solely to tho form of the warrants and nut to their character, this bint or suggestion Is misleading. The government Is prosecuting under the lnw which pro hibits the manufacture ot notes which might lie mistaken for its own, while the suggestion is that It Is prosecuting under tho 10 per cent, tax law or some ether intended to prevent the circula tion of notes other than Its own. We Tall to bw how any political advantage can lie gained or public service ren dered by this sort of misrepresentation.- but there Is possibly some gratification of malice felt agu.nst Cleveland and bis cabinet. 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. THE STROLLER.

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.
