In yesterday's paper the suggestion was made by Mr. Calder Willingham that out of the contributions of those who have received their education at Western, a memorial to Dr. Bass ebould be erected. Tbe snggestlon Is a happy one, though wo do not see that contribution* ebould necessarily be accepted only from the Wesleyan alumnae. Dr. Bum' work was primarily for file pupil* of his school, but in a broader sense It was for the generation In which hs lived and for hl» country. Few men have lived who hotter de serve s memorial. He wan not 1 great or a brilliant man in the ordinary sense of those terms, but nature gave him a strong and vigorous mind and bis merit lies In having devoted all the re sources at bis Intellect to the services of his fellow-men. A memorial to him will not serve to recall to ihe minds of men the brilliant deeds of n genius, but It will db something far more Import- election of elx aldermen on the 8th day of December next who will diligently aeck to control (he administration of uur dts government in ihe Interest and to th< honor of the entire community; who will have the city law* pertinently nnd impar tially enforced, and who will.

CAN VOTE FOR GOOD MEN. \frhat Is to bo gained by contention? Every citizen of Macon should ask him self this question when bo comes to oonalder tho ponding aldermuulo elect Hon. What ta to be lost by conten tion la co patent that no argument la necessary to show It. Every citizen will admit Hint during many years ono of tho chief drawbacks to tho prosper ity of our city has boon tho division, tho animosity, growing out of bitterly ootHestcd municipal oleotlons. It fol lows that every cltiien must admit that the olty has much to gala from amity and harmony. All nf tut know that tho olty govemmeut has uot for years had behind It tho solid support of tho people of tho olty, but that, ou the contrary, It has been antagonised by a large, influential nnd wealthy part of tbo community. All this being true, U follows that the citizen* of Macon should got together for the promotion if tho welfare of tlio olty, How can they do go. Oer- •aluly they ounuot If their is no uttort-tf nobody runs for alderman except thoso who voluntarily offer thorn selves or who nr* offered by cer tain la-tercets, Thorn ciutt- bn n con certed movement to put forward proper candidates, -for wnom all dtlxcns can conscientiously vote, lu order to accom plish such a result. The Good Gorarnmont Club repre sents such i) moveinon*. It has pm forward as candid itei gentlemen ef tho highest character, whoso devotion <0 tho public Interest nobody can doubt. But, it may bo stua by some, tho Good Government Club has no right to sty for whom wo shall vote, and we kno>\ men whom we consider better quail- fled. This su’kucnt of fact Is correct; the club has no right not possessed by every single citizen. H may bo uno, too, that there are mea In Macon who would make better ai-Jermiu than tl 0 gentlemen whose names /irv oa the ticket. But the oltlioaa who ratio tbls queetlon miss the reel point at issue. The club dove not arrogate to Itself the right to say who shall bo aldermen or who shall run for aldermen. It goes no farther than to euggjst thet cer.tln gentlemen are worthy by reason of their ta.gh character, de/otlua t > the city's in'erests and Intelligence to be aldermen. Who will deny that what tbe club *ays to trae; and on whit Other heals than that propnetd. by the club oon harmony, he ibiiowl? AH food dtxen* ran vote a ticket uoiver- that many other men are gifted, by single-hearted (levot'on, liy unllag glng energy, by faithfulness to high '.deals, by sacrificing himself, made bis life a wonderfully valuable one to hla on in try. Few men eon hope to rival the deeds of a geulus, They can only admire those deeds and wonder Riat thoy should lure been (o great, But every man •« capable of denying himself the pleasures of the world that ho may serve his people. All men would be Incited by such a memorial to do the best of which they are capable. They would be made to feel that a man In no way supremely down! by nature may win for himself Hie love, the respect, -the gratitude of tho people among whom he lives. A memorial to Dr. Bass would bo a memorial, uot greotnOM, but to tUe triumphs that plain gifts and courageous devotion to the welfare for others uiAy iwlu for a man. ELECTING JUDGES. Early this week tho legislature will oonalder the question of ebangiug the method of electing judges. Tho Tele graph bus already expressed tho opin ion that a change should bo made. There to very citcuslvo popular dis content with the present method, which hat led to undeniable abuses. We think there is very little substan tial ground for tho frequently repeated assertion tlutt a ring exists for the dis tribution of publto offices from year to year; but It to true, and no man who has observed tho process of election In the legislature will deny It,' that there are combinations between the friends of candidates In the legislature to se cure success To use an old nnd well understood word, there Is "log rolling" of a very open and rtwundeta kind. Tho friends of ono candidate agree to vote for soother cnmlidate-frequently, no doubt, without regard to bis merits, if in return the frlenda of that candi date will vote for theirs. The result to that candidate* for judge and eollo- Itor are not voted for on their merits, but depend lor success upon the skill with which they or their managers can make combinations. The people hive come to tho pass where thoy will no longer bo patient of such proceedings. Tbcy expected tbo veto-of-every leg islator to be cost with oopaclentton* re gard for tho merit and atom of the candidate. Experience has shown them that this expectation 'can never he met, and they nre ready for a change of methods. They are demanding change without regard to the efficiency or the want nf It In the administration of tho courts. They do not expect tho legislature to pass upon that queetlon In making the change. It Is the method of ejection against which they protest—* method which they*regard at essentially corrupt nud tending to wards a deeper corruption. As to the new method which should be adopted, there Is room for difference of opinion. Tbe Telegraph believes that it would be bard to adopt a worse method than tho one now-in operation. We are inclined to belters that the best results should be expected If the governor were given tbe power to ap point tbe judges of the oourta and the solicitors The dignity of the guber natorial office would be enhanced, and the concentration of authority and re sponsibility upon the governor would make it bard few him to do other than the beet he could do iu (electing tho persons to occupy Judicial position*. The plan ha* worked elsewhere. Hut If this method to not adopted, tbe al ternative of having judges and solic itors elected by the people to uot to be rejected at bad. it to much better tfata election by the legislature, and this method alto t« worked well in other states. It da true that the beg garly setarle* paid to our Judge* would handicap the working of this plan. Men well qualified for the office would hesitate to Incur the expense abso lutely necessary In seeking it In an election before tbe people. It is more than portable, therefore, that tho office of Judge would be generally sought by a man who regarded It as n stepp: tin stone to another office of greater emol ument if not treater prominence. But even with this' objection, tbit rneihod to to be preferred to election by the legislature, with the accompanying pro cess of "log-rolling" that lias now de veloped almost Into a science. As a nutter at course, rery strong in fluence will be brought to boar to pre vent the change, but we nope the leg islature will show Itself strong enough end wise enough’ to iustot upon mak ing the change. It will bo noting, in doing to, strictly in accoM with poj tor wishes and will meet with euitu slastic approval. THE FOLLY OF COWARDICE. The figures of the election in Minn- ■eta seem to us particularly lustra- tlve. There ha* ’*ot been a stead; growth of Populism in Hint state, in spite at the fact that the Popti'Ht forces are led by *uo man of the great cat ability that tbe durty has so fa doreloped—or, rather, tho ablest iitr. whose adherence the party has *0 far gained. We mean, of course, igntitius Donnelly, who, whatever his c-cicn trlcltles, is a man of intellectual j«,net nnd capable of ag3re*iive lendo.ehlp. Fouoyeara ago the t'opudst rota of tea ■date, or, rather, the Farmers’ Alliance vote, was 118,000, against 88,000 for the Republican candidate and 8.1,000 tor tbe Democratic. In 1892 the Repub lican candidate received 100.000 votes, the Democratic candidate f 4,00fi and the Populist candidate 39,000. The figures this year are as follows; Re publican 141,000, Populist 81,000, Dem ocratic 53,000. Tbe meaning of these figures ebould be Interpreted In the light of the atti tude of all three parties on the lead ing question of the campaign—the silver question. Tbe Republican platform was almost meaningless, but tho Republican can- date for governor and tho Republican newspapers stood squarely for honest money. The Democratic platform vied with that of tho Populist* In demand ing free oftnage at the Id to 1 ratio. Tho result to that, for the first time in several years, the Republican candi date received a majority of tbe whole vote oast and the Democratic and Pop ulist parties exchanged, places as to relative Importance. Tho Democratic vote was almost the same as that of the Populists Iff 1800, and the Popu- IMs almost that of tho DomoCnits' of tbar year. Thus we see that In Minnesota, ns elsewhere, tho a (Tempt made by the Democrats to beat the Populists by sur rendering to them has utterly filled. That policy has had tho effect of driv ing nltra-conservativo Democrats out of the party Into the Republican ranks, and of convincing extreme free Silver Democrats that tho place for them Is In tho Populist ranks. Tljls ytm tj\c perfectly natural result of such? 4] taken policy. The result will be tho tnme every time and everywhere that that policy to adopted, if it Is WTcfeiy adopted by the Democratic party, tho final result will bo n new alignment of the people on this issue between the Populists nnd Republicans. Sal vation for the Democratic party lies In sticking close to Its principles. In treating this question honestly and bravely; in telling the people that It favors bi-metallism und at the sarno time telling them that bimetallism can not be obtained by the means proposed liy tho Populist party. This Is.a per fectly safe poAtlou. Wherever ' the party has adopted It, tt has -bbhl It* strength. • v- -. « NOT REALLY A NATION! The condition In which China finds herself at a time when aho must fight against n powerful forclga enemy to perhaps beet illustrated by tbe state ment of Mr. BJornseu. an offices of tbe Chinese customs service, .0 the effect that the -mass of the Chinese do not know that tbo war with Japan to go ing on. It (a hard tor people living In a civ Uized country to realise th.v difficulties of such a position. They luv-o become *0 accustomed to tho effect* of easy methods of transportation that they have no conception -if bow very great these effects are. If tt he trae, ss stated, that though a desperate w-ir hat been going oa tor months, by which tho very existence of tbe nation is threatened, a majority of tho Chinese people do uot know that their govern ment to In danger, it Is plain that all other kinds of information mint be ex ceedingly slow In working their way among tho jveople. A rare In China, the average Chinaman, we mean, in a long life can learn less than an Amer ican or European boy mint pick up in few months of the mitoi which effect the Ilf* of the world oatsldi his own Immediate circle. A nation so circumstanced i* really u-i nation at all, in the modern souse. Thi people are not hound together. Their knowl edge to not common; their interests are not common, and there is no possi ble way by which they era act to gether In promoting their Interests cr in defending themselves. They are a mob instead of a nation—as helpless as mobs usually are when opposed by dis ciplined forces. If war were to be declared by the United States against » foreign power, or vice versa, -within a few ,uours tbat fact would be known to the mass of tbe people. Within a few days, at the outside, It would be known to every Individual In the country. -Tbit com mon knowledge would moke It psesl- ble for the people to tblnk together, to feel together, and to act together. Tho power of the whole ittlon woud bo available, Instead of merely the power of the few people la Immediate contact with the enemy. In the whole vast empire of China, In which lives near a third of tbo pop ulation ef the world, there to one little railroad, and perhaps not one good highway ef the kind known in this country and Europe. The roads are little better than paths, not available for the use of wheeled vehicles, and traveled only by men on foot. As long ns this coudltlon continues to exist the Chinese will be at tbe mercy of Japan or any other nation which has acquired the art at using disciplined forces. Her hundred* of millions ef people will avail her little In defense and her expenditure of money will be nearly all wasted. It Is perhaps for tunate for the world that this condi tion of affairs docs exist. Chinese civ ilization to of a very low type. But if Chinese power wove in proportion to the population and wealth of the empire, that civilisation would be im posed on a large part of the world, and perhaps would not lie without ef fect even In Europe and the United States. The result of tho overwhelm ing defeat which Japan lias appirently suffered may be tbe gradual adoption of western methods. If so, then it la to be hoped that with that adoption will come the gradual elevation of Chi nese Ideals, so that when tho time comes that China can exercise -a power outside her bouodnecs somewhat -u proportion to her litem strength, her influence wlQ not tend to degrade tho world, as It would now If It cottld'bo exercised. COL. LEVBRBTTS REMOVAL. Wo print elsewhere this morning n statement by Col Frank Levewtt of the cireumstanoes under which he was removed from fils office at United States marshal. Wo think It trill cre ate upon the public mind the impres sion that be hss not bean fairly treated. It seems to u* that so titthiul a Dem ocrat and good a man as Col, Loverett was entitled to a hearing by a.Demo cratic administration before being dis missed from office in 11 manner that Is a severe reflection upop. him TberO are few more popular men than Frank Leverett. For years he has been ono of the must active und Influential nun in the Democratic'party In this state. Before and niter bis appointment to office he was among tho boldest, most consistent defenders of the adminis tration against Its anomies, at-d we hope that ho will yet bo accorded a hearing and bo vindicat'd by tbo de partment of justice. TITo fact that be has the sympathy nnl support of the judge of the court Is a circumstance that ought to oounl for nroofi in his favor. WOMAN’S RIGHT TO VOTE. Hon. Walter B. HIU Expresses Hts Views on the Subject. In «. recent Issue of the Woman's Column, published In Boston, the fol lowing from Hon. Walter B. Hill of tie city eppeered: 1 do not -think (that women have the right not to vote. Theft- right to vote to undebutttbto. No rational argument has been or can be advanced against it. Ever since toe twortd accepted the Ideu that government and taxation Imply -repreaeirtsillon the case for wo man suffrage—so fir on tt depends on rtgiht—(has -been completely made out. The sole question. -Therefore, which remains for »ny difference of opinion Is this: "Are there valid and sufficient reasons for exempting -women from the exercise of thle right? Or. Is not the exercise of Chat right n duty which the -general welfare demands that wo men, <u well as men. should perform? This le the shape .which the discus sion has lately assumed—especially In the great state of Now York, whore the question !o to the front, t fti.ve liven my opinion on the point by say- tig above that I do not think women have a right not -to vote. Women un doubtedly huivo n great many duties already; nnd I oan well understand the fMlkW which prompts ntiuy of them to say chut they do not desire tbe ad dition to their dutlea of the exercise of citizenship, but I think that the benefits to the whole community which -will result from the assump tion of This dirty by women will be groat that the community cannot .rd to forfeit these benefits. For 1 believe that women are likely to prove M superior to men In The discharge of the duties of cltlxeuemp as They nre In the performance of many other du ties. Borne -if the -benefits -which will fol low. directly or Indirectly, from en dowing -women iwteh equal suffrage WIH be: 1. The remoral dt that moral deform ity <of our rivHIzarioo. tne double stand ard of virtue. 3. The removal of that grettt Injustice unequal compensation to women tor work of the some value as that done by men. ,3. The aboHUon of that grout In iquity—the partnership of tho govern ment. through tho license system, with the-curse and crime of the liquor traf fic; and -the portnersotp oetween mu nicipal government and vice which now exists tn all our largo cities. 4. Elevation of the standards of pub lic life. If women were voters in Ken tucky -the nation would have been spared the Insult of Breckinridge's candidacy. Ax to an the fears which come good men have as to the effect upon wo men themselves us being voter*, it lx enough to aey that all choee apprehen sions (the disruption of family life, etc.) were arrayed years ago agutnst the education of -women, and the dread ed evils never arrived!
