form ts not Impossible. The much-
in Iked-of “Baltimore plan" we do not
mnrd «s entirely acceptable, because
It has a provis os making the govern
ment Cable for the payment of bank
notes. We think that this admits a
wrong principle. The government may
provide for close superv slon of the cur
rency issued by banks and may by Its
taw* make every holder of notes as se
cure as possible, ten there 1* no reason
whatever why ibe zovcrniAut should
hold Itself llaWe for 1hf j^yinMu nt

tlmoro plan forms A good lew s on
whieti to discuss the reform which Is
necessary. iTechaps imeodmems <o it
wit make It acceptable to ihc majority
of Democrats. It oseta/nly has m/my
merits. If enacted Into law, wo see no
reason why it would not ecu hie the
country to provide Itself with all the
currency, and good currency; needed
In d-Ang Ms bus.nau.. ?
During the short term which liegan
in December, 1892, tbe Heed emigres*
d-ld much to round out and c-miplots
the policy of Its party. The result# »f
that aesteon wore hardly less loportnnt
than those of the hmg session which
preceded It. Mr. Reed allowed liim>elf
capable of driving through the house
any bill upon which the party emeus
bad daedal favorably. The minority
wa# not. able to obvtruoti or delay.
With Ibis precedent before th"in rhe
Democrats can see that If they can
make up their mind* to accomidWi re-

MINORITY REPORT.
Not being able to agree to the ma
jority report in the rule* brought
aga nst M. R. Freeman, recorder of the
city of Macon, for neglect of duty, 1
ileem It my duty to make the following
minority report;:
Tt)e recorder was r.ght tn lining 1.
Baohlnsk. for selling l.quor on Sunday.
But It seems to me that it waa ihe duty
ot the recorder to report the fact of
the tr.'al ami the result to council, so
that such stops m ght be taken a* were
necessary to carry into effect tho oid.-
ssneo tn regard to tell.ug liquor* on
Sunday. The ordinance* of the city
are silent as to who shall report to
couocT the foots oi conviction* of sell
ing liquor Oh Sunday, and yet some
one must do It, or the tew amounts to
nothing. It council t* not informed
that tbe law has been violated, no 11-
eeuM* can be revoked. It s the duty
of the reoordef k© hear all these cases.
He becomes more Intimately acquaint
ed with she .foots cf these oases than
any other offlctel of the city. He is
the jutl-clal offloer of the c ty who must
see that vlobtWo* of the city law* aro
punished. A parr of the punishment
for selling liquor on Sunday s rel oca
tion ot -the Acme of the one selling,
and it seems rcasmMMe that the re
corder should cause council to bo In
formed of the rlotatons oi this law,
that she proper punishment may be in-
doted. In view of the fact that the
orvBnanoes of .the city make no provis
ion for the aformatino of council, tt is
respectfully recommended that some
ordinance he passed which shall make
it the duty of some otHcer ot the dry
to report to oouned convictions for sell
ing whisky ap Sunday.
In regard .to that part of the resolu
tion which refer* to the du:y ot the
reoorder to tend over offenders against
the state law lo the oourt having juris
diction to try the same, t am flrinly
oonvnccd itlwt It wa* the duty of the
recorder to bind over Mid I- llashlnsk'.
for his appearance at the city or supe
rior cohrt to answer to tha offense of
keeping open n tippl Dg nouse oh Sun
day. The evidence before the recorder,
nn<l which he adults In Ibis investiga
tion. is that Basbinsk: sold whsky to
more than one person In his bar-room
in the city of Slacon on the 14th day
of October, 1894. which was Sunday.
To show that the charges against Ba-
thinsk. avere, to the mind of the recor
der, well founded, It * only neee.uary
to say that the recorder Sued BashlnsK!
5100. Keeping open a rippling house
on Sunday is a violation of tho state
law.
The facts, as adm'tted by the recor
der, in this Investigation, make a con
clusive case of keupihg open s tippling
house on the Sabbath day. Keeping
open a tippling house for a single mo
ment, for any purpose, ou the Sabin til
day, is n violation of law; ond yet the
fuels, as ndui.tted >u this case, show
that not only d d Basb'nskl have hi*
house open, but admitted three differ
ent parties ihrough ihe rear door and
sold them whisky. There can be no
escape fro-’ the conamvlon that Ba-
shTnskl knowingly viola ted the law of
the state, ns well a* tho c'ty. Then,
did It become the duty of the recorder
to hind him over for trial by the city
or superior court? The general law ot
tho state provides that any "mayor,
recorder or other proper officer, presid-
hg In any municlp.il court In this stale
(Stall have authority to blhtl over, or
commit to jail, offenders cga'.nst any
criminal law of this state, whenever in
the oourae of an 'uvesiigallon before
such officer a proper case therefor shall
be made out by tbe evidence." This
is the general law of the state, and it
is binding upon the recerler of the city
of Macon. It will baldly do to say
that Gi's law merely g.ves the authori
ty to the recorder to bind over, and
leaves discretionary with him as to
what course he shall pursue, because
when « court is olothed with authority
to perform certain fuaei'ous, It be-
comes'the duty of the court to perform
those functions when tile ease avisos
To Illustrate this, the courts of our
country are not required to enforce or
der. to compel obedience to their Judg
ments, orders, etc., but they are given
the power to do these thlugs. Yet no
one will say that any court does its
duty that does not enforce and compel
obed'ence to its mandates. The char
ter ol the city does not provide that
the reoorder shall hold any court, hut
merely gives him the power to do so.
Yet the recorder would not refuse to
hold court, or to line an offender, be
cause roe matier Is In his discretion.
In adit Hon to the general law regard
ing recorders quoted above, section tel
of the charter of the city says that "be
(Uie recorder! shall be, to all lntemts
and purposes, a Justice of the peace. *o
far *s to enable h m to Issue warrants
for offense# committed within ihe cor
porate l.mit# of said city, wh ch war
rants may be cxeouted by any member
of tbe police force of the c'ty. and to
commit the offenders to the Jail of the
county of Bibb, or admit them to ball,
in bailable cases, for the.r appearance
ot the next terra of n oourt of compe
tent Jurisdiction to be held In and lor
satd county.” This section of the city
charter makes the recorder, lu effeot,
a Justice of the peace, and our law re
quires Justices of the peace, aa well ns
others holding oomtn'tment trials, to
tend offenders over when they "have
sufficient reason to suspect the dafedd-
nnts’ guilt. In (hi# rosy there was al>-
aoluta proof of the •icfendont’s guTt-
It Is not the office of tbe recorder to as
certain tvhat motives actuate a man tn
making a case against a criminal, hut
mercOy to ascertain the faots of the
rose, and if they so warm-t bind hhi
over for his appearance at ihe proper
court. That court can then fteterm.no
what punishment should be Indeed,
and whether or not the case is one of
perscchton.
For these reasons, I am forced to con
clude that the recorder has been guilty
of neglect of duty, although It wtis no
doubt uninteoTTonoL J. B. U.ley.
Overparticular,
Cleanliness Is a virtue; but, like other
virtues. It may be carried to a vicious ex
cess Ro It happenud with an old fisher
man In Nartle, Devon, who made itono of
the chief code of his life to keep hi* boat
Immaculate.
On ono occasion a gentleman bad hired
him to tako himself and a young Indy out
for an afternoon’s fishing. Tho boat could
not bo brought near euough to tho ehoro
for them to etep In, so tho old sailor re
moved his shoos and slocking*, and tak
ing tho young lady tn hts arm* wa* about
to deposit heron board when ho caught
sight of soma mud on her prt tty pair of
boots.
Instantly ho stooped and dipped both
her feet up to tho ankles In tho eca, pad
dling them back and forward to rumovo
the mud, In spit* of tho protests of tho
owner. Hts only remark as he finally put
her on board was:
