IVe have heard <ho objection made to the election of judge* by the people that ,u this way tito Judiciary would get Into politick. It la difficult to tin- tli rata ml, somet-tne*. that tills objec tion .« made seriously and In good f.uli by taon who prefer iho present method of electing Judges by the legislature. Those who do moke It eerloualy seem Ignorant of tbo faot that the Judloary fa Just a little in politico new. The Telegraph has long been of the oplnloa that the method of electing Judges provided for -n our oonstitutlon to About ttto worst possible. Every year we sco an Important part of the time of the leg-elaturo taken up with the election uf Judges, solicitor* and other officials. It la openly charged that few of those eleohong ate controlled by the merit of tho candidates, but that the trading of one candidate's strength for another's, In order to form combL.nat.ous or slates, la the rule In every legislature. The result hag beeu not a Utile scandal and much bsdfccl- iag. During tha last suite campaign tbo charge That a legislative ring had apportioned out the offices of the stain found many believers, and wo do not doubt did the Democratic party a groat deal of damage. Whether these charges are true • r not, tSo pivreut method of election drags the judiciary tnto.pol!- Cc* to an extent netcr before known nod lias no Advantage to corner mate for thl* misfortune. We iMpe the caucus uf Democrat} In the hvuiVature tonight will decide to dri away, oa far as possible, with the present method of electing Judges and scUrttora. It Is not easy for any login- latte* body to gtve up power, but tbe arils of tho present ayst am have mani fested themselves to strtugly th.t we hop# the legislature win not hesitate te ram the elections owe to' the people. To* mt-Jiod «s in prace.oe u many states of the Union. Its results «* good everywhere. Though ‘not a per fect tnt'hod. at Is perhaps at good ts nny that can he Censed. Theoretically, the appointment of Judges by the gov- srvw l* pcihapta the better method, but in practice certain drawbacks <K» A few days ago the Telegraph said that money ip more plentiful in the money centres of tfie world nod could be borrowed at a lower rate of in terest than was ever known before. The Jesup Sentinel does not deny tbe truth of this statement, but attempts to show that it Has no bearing on Ibe situation In this country, hy saying that money can be borrowed only on United States bends aa collateral, and the farmers tnd business men Have not bonds to be used in that way. The Telegraph, it say*, "knows that it can hardly borrow moaey on all the land In Georgia, if It had It at Ks command, from tbe national or any other bank. Whit other collateral has tbe farmer or boslnem man in Georgia to offer aa senility for some of this plenitude of money? Its being at these money cen ters, and not to be bad by the classes that need It to use in the ordinary pursuits of life, li one thing that Is the matter.” The business of banks to to lend money and it Is also tbe desire of men In possession of largo Mims of money to lend It and make it prod table, a bank 1* in bad. condition when entirely unable to lend money. Tills being the M*e, why fa (t that the banks will not lend money on land as security < *» it not because Uiey are afraid they will not get their money back? Can there bo any other possible reason? If money, then, oondnues to collect nt the money centres m the bands of men who are anxious to lend It, but who re fuse to lend at on lands, whose la the fault? Is It the fault of (lie bank. Which, though anxious to do business, cannot afford to take the risks in volved In lending nrai-y on lands? Is it the fault of tho landowners, or is It the fault of the leg.alatom who hare made our land laws? Wherever the fault may lie, the fact retnalas that lonu fa not regarded as a good security for bank loans, and that this discrimination against land baa grown out of expe rience. Time tmd time again it has been demonstrated that the bank wh.cli allows any considerable parti of Its funds to go out in loans on lands Is .n danger of being broken, because such loans cannot, be realized upon qulckiy enough m tnnjx of trouble. Instead of complaining against the Oaip.lfftfats and the banke for.keep.ng their money nt the money centres, where they can got Utile, for it, uud therefore are making very small prollts, the Sentinel should turn its attention to the defect* tn our laws which de prive our landowners of credit—that fa to say, which tuako their land una vailable td Them na a ba»s of m-dlt. Wo are aware that there is a feeling in tho minds of many men that prop erty In la nit is something more sacred than property In any other forms of wealth. As long aa this feeling ,i re booted In legislation nnd tho owners trattlV of And U miile more difficult to loose than tho owner’s tenure of other forms of properly, then land must pay the penalty at this advan tage.

Tho law make* It more difficult to oust bun from pos- «Vaslon of hla land, but for that rea son he fa less able to borrow money on the security of his laud. If llie Sentinel will persuade our legislature to eo change the laws that tonus made on lands can be as readily and quickly collcotcd as loans on rail road bond* or United State* bonds, then ovory man who owns land will be able to get *U tho money that he la able to sire landed security for, at a very low rato of interest.

Citizen. SHORT T ALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. I met a big. brainy, prominent lawyer on the street yesterday afternoon, and he surprised me by malting tbe unqual ified statement that Judges should be elected by tbe people. I had thought that the majority of lawyers stood Just the other way ota this point, but he says not. He also remarked that very few peo- 1 pie understood the provisions of the proposition ta elect Judges by the peo ple. Some supposed that H would make active poUtidens of the Judiciary but ft^will be not neOriy eo much eo as now, "A superior court judge to made a servant of the entire state, nstpanslhle to the entire state and elected by the entire stole. Just as Is intended, but not fulfilled, u nder the .present arrange ment." sold the lawyer. “It to a much mere difficult matter to prevent the su perior court Judge of today from being a politician than It would be under the new system. As he stands today , ho In embarrassed by paiKlcat Influences at home, more or less hampered by the threatening tafltietvoe'of the local bar, sod necessarily to a large extent an ac tive politician before the legislature, which body muat efaot him. “But under the new system he would be as much a part of the state adminis tration os the governor himself. Elect ed ait the same time, hla qualrfi cations would be considered In a like manner and he would be voted for by a con stituency far removed from local polit ical influences and which' It would be impossible to unfairly prejudice. “The new system contempla te* a rota- tation plan by .which no Judge will alt on tho bench more than one time in three veara. Trio proportion bears on the face of It a guarantee of equity and Just'oe which, to nay the least of It, would be dlfncutt to secure under any other system. It would, to tny mtnd. be *• '" 1 v •x.vutbKf to Influence or prejudice a bench so entirety unham pered. and I feel satisfied that if (leer- sta Joins the other thirty-eight states of the Unkm In the election of Judges by this system, she will 'have on able Judiciary, a' purer and. better one In every reaped."

Is thq question dork Bnqwt Morgan fired nt me w I hung over the Brown house desk yesterday afternoon. > “Perhaips it is becaifee he hasn't be come used to it and considers hla wife of as much Importance as himself; or else he has never registered with a wife before; or. maybe, he Just naturally likes to see,her name down that way In black and white.'' were some of the suggestion* I made. “But do they alt do it that pray?" I naked. "Every blessed one Of ,'em—unleis he ha* been there before. Look at thla couple here—Just married, sure s* fate. Well, tt doesn't out any lee in my busl- jeer, but Ufa curious. Isn't It?"

Hdglws ho* not been sick during the lot live years, and 1 presume that Mr. Waxelbuu.u knows well enouga that the state of Col.

No later khan thla very week they have secured a postponement of the cale upon the first application. The li brary has certainly not distinguished Itself tor gratitude by abusing Mr. Wilder when he ts unable to* carry tha claim any longer. A* the gentlemen who have indulged in so much “plain talk’’ are net dis posed to contribute one hundred and forty dollars apiece out of their pock ets, so Mr. Wilder la not disposed t do so, either. As to Mr. Waxelbaum's contention that tSe attorney's fee* are not Just and certain threats thjvt an attorney will be employed, we can only siy that our claim fa open to Inspection at an; time, and has been acknowledge, through the public press hy the pres ident' of the board of director* aa Just and honest claim, which ought t have been long since paid. We appro head, however, that Mr. Waxelbaum wla air bring tiny attorney's fees around bto own neck 1n fighting our cfatm.
