A MEMORIAL TO DK. BASS.
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. In ro far
«• our city charter provides, have the
city government co-operate with the
*t»t* authorities In detecting end proas-
cutlDK to conviction all violations of Mate
laws within tbe city limits. . Expressly

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

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

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

believe that women are likely to prove

ties.

WIH be:
1. The remoral dt that moral deform

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

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
