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.

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.

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.

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?

TO WORKINGMEN. ®S!J or K < * Telegraph; The phase as- 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.
