THE GOVERNOR'S MENU AGE.
We pant tXl.OMST Aria neon'e uiee-
aige to the legisMiture this morning
and we tlunk our readera will timl ,n
H > or.denee of praadtwl w.sdom Jo
dculins with public affairs.
The first subject which els hue hU
nnenion i* the refeitn of our Judhxal
system, and tbe Totosraflb It parti cu-
kSy pleased because Governor Atkin,
eon take* up a m\atvr of Importance
aouneattd therewith to wb.oh the Tel-
egmph t*»* in the peet devoted much
arvetfon.
"*t cannot be denied,” he ears, "that
the rate of IntereBt pai d In Georgia Is
two or three tlrots briber than to some
otter etiuc* of the Eaton, hugely be
cause men who have money to invest
prefer to put It where colieantons are
more certain and where -tte courts can
be relied to bring their cases to a
prompt bearing. A dollar pa/1 as in
terest In Cexgs hi wocth «o the
money lender la New York, New Eng-
sand or Europe Just ns much as a dol
lar paid at interest in nay otter state.
Men do not bring their money here to
loan at as low (mternst rate as Co some
other states, because it Is not to their
advantage to do so. When our sure
ties ore safe and ujquesdonaWc and
our counts ooo promptly pass upon
tuses, money will bo as aheap in Geor
gia as to Notv York. As a penally lu-
(llclfd beoatuee this Is art true, oar peo
ple are paying in high ..liferent and ex
orbitant credit prices run enormous
tribute."
We think, nobody can dispute the
truth of stole proposltcm. The Tele
graph bos sought euruesiiy to impress
upon Its render* the fiidt tout the In
terest suite Os high or low as -the lender
Is uncertain or cerie-ln of securing the
retina of lf.s capital promptly and at
small expense in collection. It bus
been our idea Unit n change (n the land
laws was necessary to moke the Inter-'
cut rate On Georgia ns kw as in New
York, but ire bare no doulit that the
coveiuwr ils right to th.uUng that a re
form of ibe Judicial system wfich win
secure a prompt hearing of all eases
wflB do much In this direction. The
loss which the people of Georgia suf
fer every year In excessive interest
paid on money borrowed from abroad
and In excessive prices paid for goods
brought upon the market by tbe uso of
money eo boritowcd, will pay many
tomes over ithe expenses of the court*
of tho State. The governor could not
have hit upon a subject of mere prac
tical importance to. the people, and we
hope that the legislature will go to
work to atom the end tvU.ch he points
out and which Is eo desirable.
Tbe governor algo urges upon the
k&tauturo the necessity uf ballot re
form, while at tho sumo dime polntitog
oat tint ithe present Iw is mat with
out its merits. He believes that Its
chief fault is that it provides no ready
and prompt method by wh'ch the re
sults, of (flecttijons can be contented and
unlawful ballon excluded from the
count In arg.ng upon the leg.skutuno
tbo nocastltry of changing' our election
laws so os to provide a system where
to ‘Vmy unflalr or'fraudulent practices
mny easily he detected and effectively
proven ted," the governor voices tho po
litical sadtlmcnt which I* now strong
est In tho people of Georgia.
Tho keen interest wmeh Governor At-
kinuon has tong fett to tho edueuitton
question nuke* n maitural that he
thrmld devote a oouuderohle part of
his toetBigo to the common school sys
tem and'tho normal training school.
Ha reeo mm end a'if. or.s to respect to
them wth meet with poptfbr approval
and wa hope tho logleUturo wth see
fit to adopt them. The welfare, if not
the eafety, of the sttate depend* upon
the euooowfiil worktlng of our common
school system, and the success of that
system depends, to Its turn, largely
upon tho efficient worE done by the
normal schools. The common schools
tan never be wtou they ought t» bo
until to all of them iWaohems aro at
work thoroughly trained to their pro-
f'-s.i!on. Tb/i govei'uor wisely says
llvat “wo oarntot look to philanthro
pists, we cannot look to rich men, ter
the sustenance of our educational In-
sti tut!oos"—ard he ts refon-ing here to
tho duty which tho ma te owes to tho
Stats University. Thera has bean dis
played sumd'iinvs (u the* past on the
part of some legislator* what looked
like a Jealousy of th's grout toel.tu-
ttoo. But wi' ttilDk that every man
who takes tho trouble to study tho cd-
uo.ulon.il problem will come to tho
cencluston that the truest economy de
mands that tho university bo substan
tially supposed by Rio stato aud .ts
work encutuugvd to owy pos ble
way.
Tbo go vomer's rwommondvuion that
the millmry fotoe* of the ante be prop-'
wty eucouraged i* also lu line wvith
tho best Intcrvsts of tho state. In tho
last tuxdj» s the authority of the gov
ernment and the courts rests upon
force, and It (a r.xorrary to the con

THE BARING FAILURE’S LESSON.
When the Borings failed, four years
ago, with llalLUtOea of hundreds of
uidUons, xfae Bonk of England and
many of the groat private bunks of
London were compelled to aome to
the'r jAslsuuvta in order pq prevent a
sadden eriUstuse of the tost ceaumev-
ctsl fabric of England, and a coilapse,
arty is* *,V..Wi. til.- UWUIK'IW 1.1
other ottnous. The guarantocs of the I
Barings' debts, at they were coiled,
did not succeed In completely allay to?
the alarm caused by the failure, be
ginning with It, a wave of dxmntt
swept over the whole oommercial
world, wjih the onsequeuos of "tunl
times'' to almost evety conrarj*. It
was sold at the tine by nxuuy able
ilnanolors ahat the Hank ol England
and its coadjutors took great risks in
this transaction—gwojter thun were
Justaed by the farts of the eltu-
arjon. But they hare peraameuly and
firmly held to the course first adopted,
with the result that they tuavie reau.zeu
upon tho assets of the fulled firm to
a very large exemt, and It Is now re
ported that they tove eveuped all loss,
through -the ooCerateo upou these as
sets of enough money to meet ull tho
Barings’ deirts, leaving a comparatively
smoU 'romntotler. The butinge have
taken from the Bank of England tbe
balance of -their assets, and wi.ll begin
again the work of building up the
business so sadly wrecked in IMS!
Th * great failure, while It has in-
Acted enormous loss on the world,
causing depreuMton of business extend
ing over year*, has ne-vertheleso taught
a vuhhibie lesson in ihis-f-hat no man
can now full to see the dose totcvmlu-
gltog of the commercial interest* of
all oivlt.aed nations. It may b* that
to detail the interests of these dif
ferent nations are autsuficYstic, but
tho fact tbax their general Interest
is,the same cannot be disputed. A
sh'/ek to the confidence felt In the
soundupe* of Briitith turucoial insl/ltu-
tiloos was just ns percept ble In New
York and Melbourne, In Pans and St.
Petersburg, ns to London lssClf. The
money woritl Is otie, not because flnau
c.er* bmvie gone Iuto collusion with
etch other, bat becuuse tbe people of
nil countries trade with each other,
oretlit each other, nod are dependent
upon each 0-lher for the carrying on
each of his own business. Tit'.* fact
cunnot be safely lost s'glit of for n mo
ment by legislators who - are making
Li tv* which affeot the finances or tlie
currency of any one nation. In a cer
tain serse, they are legishutuig for all
n-ahlions, bocmise ahetr letjlstatou will
affect the business of nil. To say, be
cause ithls Is true, that tho nation
wdtloh ackuowledsfs tbe fUct of the
common taterest of its people with the
people of otter nation* is a slave, con
trolled by ford.gnera, is moiciy an at
tempt to exclto prejudice and blind tbe
eyes of men to tha vltully Important
truths of -the commcro'al situation.
JAPAN’S VICTORY.
At Port Arthur, which, has fallen
into the hands of tha Japanese, the
great northern docks and'arsenals ot
Ohltaa «re located. Ch.ua has other
arsenahi and docks, but they are on
fte southern coast, as far away from
the seat of war us the ports of Japan
itself. The capture of Poet Arthur by
the JapamEwe, therefore, with it* docks
and arsenals intact, and with Immense
•tores of provisions and tun.mm.ttoo,
reverses die advantages ot the sltua-
tOon ns they existed when the war be-
gan. It Is Jo-pao now which has a
base of supplies close at band and
Ohlmi which must go to a'distant port
to rcurin, repair and revlouul tbe vts-
•el* of her navy.
There seems to be a general opinion
that tbe fall of Port Arthur practically
puts on' end to the war-that ts to »ay,
that China must accept whatever terms
the Japanese are willing to acoanl. It
is reported tixit sho will demand an
lndcnin'ty of two huaffred million* of
dollars, the payment of tho ex
penses of the war, amounting to one
hundred and fifty million dollars, and
the surrender of the wliole Chinese
fleot. If she fails to dcmind also, the
oesslon of the island of Formosa, wh'ch
would give her command at short
range of tho greatest of the Chinese
ports oa tho southeastern coast. It will
be because she fears that even should
Ob'ns consent to the evasion, the lhi-
ropeup uattuons Intensted In tho pro
ttvvwttoii ot Cblneso .adependence will
not do *o. It '.s oven likely tha t iltese
nations will prevent toe surrender ot
die Ctineso flint. Should they uo so,
the blow to China wUl uovurtheless lie
a very severe one, m having to pay
out at short ooLoe three hundred and
fifty million dolLuN, or else permit the
ch'ef strategic points In tbe empire to
be held indefinitely by the -troops ot
the enemy.
There has never been a more strik
ing Illustration »f tho superiority' ot
oivtllred over eaml-ttartxmo methuls
than in the conduct of this war. Tho
sinnll otul Isolated Japanese empire
has wen a tremendous victory ever on
enemy ten times as powerful, for tho
Angie rosAtau Gut she hud adepted'otv-
Xxed methods and her enemy had not.
Bio result is likely to be the operant
of China Itself to riiu’ipuau and Amur-
knu infiuonecs, and from tb-vt opening
up vust cciisequences may follow.
A Gemuu mOintty critic says that
two zuv.il doAu-s In the Mediterra
nean would cart Eogtind trade
amouuflng to five hundred millions of
drtiutw a yeur. PrebaMy more than
two defeats would be neoc sssry, but
the ftaot UisK Brlt'sh commercial su
premacy depends to a large measure
upon B-rlisb nival supremacy is a faot
recognised not only by this German
Critic butt by the British government
aud people. The to why tho scheme
to add fifty or eeverty-five vessels to
toe navy, n.1 a cost of one hundred
miUioas of dollars or more is voted by
pirliiciKit about once errety five years
without any serious c-ppjaltlon.

ABSOIDTE0 PURE
keeper? -What creater claim baa th®
liquor traflic on a railroad man than on
a -banker? By what right does the bar
room lay claim to the support of the
man who wears bis overaCJs? Some of
the purest men in Macon earn their
daily -bread by manual toll; they lit
erally eat their bread in the sweat of
their brows. Why should their toil and
their lack of wealth give tbe barroom
a prior claim on their votes? They are
not slaves of -the liquor truffle; their
families are as dear to -them and the
future of their children as much a
sacred trust as those'of the richest in
the land. They sure as much entitled to
the resoect of their fellow cltixens.
Then why this assumption and rtalm
that they are opposed to an impartial
administration of the -laws. The claim
I* unreasonable: the claim is false.
The workingman has no Interest in
the barroom or the liquor traffic, ana,
far from being their natural ally. Is
most interested in having good gov
ernment and lnrpartfcai administration.
What has a lax and partial city gov
ernment done for the -workingman in
th* last ten years? What Improvements
have been put around his home? Whu-t
burden has been lifted, from his weary
shoulders? In what way has all tte
favors accorded tte barrooms brought
ease, comfort or happiness to the
workingman's -home? Does the fact
that a liquor dealer is aKowed to vio
late thA -law add to the security of
the home or family of the working
man? M a workingman is arraigned for
drunkenness, ts his sentence made
lighter or his ability to pay his fine
increased by tho fact that the barroom
where ha got -his liquor is allowed to
violate tha law? Are his wages In
creased or his hour* of toll made Short
er by Illegal liquor traffic? How does
the barroom and the lax .° r .. : ba rH ®J
administration of tow benefit the man
who labors with his hands. The la
boring man is -wronged most of all.

n»r« tS J n J >y „ tJ '®„t ,on(,1 ng city elections
sttentlon to some rather odd
condttlons among civilized people.
First. As soon as the standard of
£«<« government is raised, and men
are put for office whoso only pledge
i. tt *y » U1 “mr out their oath
of office without fear, favor or affec
tion, the cry Is raised that the tairc
rooms end whisky buslnees are In
danger. Is it true, ae thus confessed by
suoh a cry, that barrooms and the
whisky trade are the natural enemies
of good government? Do the men en
gaged In these trades oppose on Impar
tial administration of the law? Do they
expect and desire favors not extended
to the balance of the community? Why
do they consider a declaration of hon
est. Impartial administration as an at-
tacK upon their business. The law
throws certain police regulations
around the sale of whisky, the sate
of gunpowder, of certain drugs and
flood supplies. When a man engages in
any of these trades it Is assumed that
he Intends to violate no fa-w. IWIn,
then, should a whisky dealer object to
an Impartial administration more than
the dealer ia gunpoy-der, drugs or pro
visions? There must bo sumo cause.
Gun It be that long continued violation*
of law and breaches of morality have
led these -men to Imagine that they
have a vested right In such violations
and that the chief profits of their trade
arise from auon Illegal and immoral
conduct?
Second. Whenever the barrooms de
sire to oppose anything Why Is It that
they turn to the negro and toe work
ingman and almost demand their sup
port isa a matter of right or owner
ship? The claim on roe mass uf ne
groes Is p: rtially expbddsd in the fact
ofthel- ignorance, their etonded sense
bf raorahty and toe ease wtto which
they are led. But tola cannot apply to
the more Intelligent earn prosperous
negroes; those who have a property
lnTcicst In toe community and have
homes and families to rear, sustain
and protect. But hoiv ore w* to explain
this claim or assumption of the liquor
dealers, that every man who labors
with Ida hands la their natu.-al ally?
What more claim have the barrooms
on a street car driver than oa a store-
lnto conversation. When they discov
ered Who the wae one of tte party
asked how he felt In such -grave and
reverened company. "I feel,” said Mr.
Gilbert, "like a lion In a den of Dan
iels.’’—The Argonaut.
“Gome, ’William, give something,"
said'the deacon. “Can't do It. desk,
said BUI. -'Why not? Isn’t the cause a
good one?” "Yes, guod ’nough, but I
sln’t able to give nothing.” ’Tooh!
pooh! I know better. You must give
me a better reason than that.” "Well.
I owe too much money.” “Well, but
William, you owe God a. larger debt
than any one else." "That's true, but
he ain’t a-oushln' me tike the rest of
my creditors.”—EiSKShge.
FROUDE'S .HISTORIES.
Comparison of His Work With That
of His Predlceeaor. Freeman.
It Is'impossible not to compare with
Mr. Froude bis great predecessor m the
reglus professorship of history at Ox
ford. Mr. Freeman belonged, it is
Obvious, to a very different type of
mankind. Without any particular mer
its of style, except those which are
associated with conscientious industry.
Mr. Freeman used to work at hie facts
as a scientific man works at his data
In his Mboracory. He was essentially
the same kind of -writer as tte present
bishop of Oxford, and hi* record, of
the Norman invasion my be usefully
compared with Dr. Stubbs extremely
valuable ‘"Characters." So great was
the likeness between these two stu
dents that tbe late Professor Thoiold
Rogers, in the days before he was
a member of parliament, and when he
used to cultivate a certain literary
skill In satires and epigrams, de
scribed tho two historians "on alter
nate tubs, while StubbB would butter
Freeman «nrt Freeman butter Stubbs.
There are two conaplcuoue deflects
however, to which the scientific meth
od of writing history ts especially lia
ble. in the first price, we often lose
the sense of proportion between fact*,
all of which by this treatment lie-
come apparently equally valuable.. In
forming a sllentlflc induction one var-
tcular Instance la, of course, as nec
essary and Important as another. Yet.
after all. the conclusion Is tha: which
we desire to know, and to occupy us
wlto the slow chains of Argument and
the careful weighing of evidence Is apt
to confuse us as to the main deduc
tion. which it is the business of the
writer to enforce. A mas* of detail
Is not only irritating, but often delu
sive: it wastes over a number of un
related facts that mental energy which
is requited for the adequate comnre-
hertkm of the -whole. Something of
this effect la produced by Mr. Free
man’s magnificently serious and erib-
ger of the scientific method of writing
history. Its predominant mernit Is to be
right. If once we catch our author
tripping—and. after all, we were taught
la the Eton Latin grammar. It is only
human to err—pur confidence Is much
more' seriously shaken than It would
be by a dramatic or Journalistic his
torian. Now, to take only one in
stance, there seems to be still some
grave controversy as to whether Mr.
Freeman’s treatment of that which we
will call the battle of Hastings, dc- -
spite the doubtless scientific accuracy
of the title, “Senlac," is wholly right
with regard to Harold's methods of
defense. Waa the palisade behind
which he wished his archers to re
main, a structure made ot wooden
bcam3, cr was it merely the close ar
ray of -warriors protected by their
shields? Those who are familiar with
recent discussion* know -with whau
energy the point has been argued, but
we are more concerned with the men
tal -effect of the controversy itself.
If a man who claims to be absolutely
accurate is found making mistakes,
or if he states as a matter of dogmatic
certainty -what is discovered to be.
after all, by no -means uncon tested
or clear, then the loss at confidence
in scientific history is much greater
than in any other form. We may be
lieve, tor instance, that much ot
Froude’s “English In Ireland” is mis
leading, and yet it its essential value
remains unimpaired. But If Freeman
be not scientifically exact, we are ant
to ask what Is the use of this extra
ordinary accumulation of da-ta. from lit
erary dustbins. Be this as it may,
there is, as we began saying, one as-
peot, in reference to which the fame
of "the deceased reglus professor of
history is secure. He was a great
writer in English, nnd, to a.’nation
proud of its literature, his style re
mains an abiding) paseSsdon.
