SHORT TALKS WITH MANY PEOPLE. ‘‘I wank you to roast the city council for leaving our street In suen wretched cond'tlon," #*'.d oue of the mom eiurn.- Ing housewives nt tho lower end oi Second streot yesterday. “You have no idea of what we have to con tend with and have been contending with for the past month or so," she continued, "and we don't propose to remain silent any longer about It. Why. aside from tho street being almost impassible in Its unfinished condition, the gas p pe* are ail torn up and over half the time we are in the dark. Tho other night I hud a fow friends to supper with me, but Just ## we sat down to thy table the gas went out. I had been accustomed to using gas and d d not have n lamp tn the house, and there we were with the supper before us hut no light to eat it by, Not to be outdone, I wrote n note in Uhe dark and sent tt to a stove for some ciudlea. In the note I said, or thought I said, e x candles, but when the servant returned she only brought two.

Oh, Jt would take all day to tell you half the troubles we have, down our way." > "The nippototment of Professor Pol lock as state school • commissioner please# me very much," said Mr. Col der Wllhughum to mo yesterday. "It Is a good selection and is not only a high and well deserved comp.' mem to a very bright young man, but li is at khe same time d great oomptiuinu to Mercer.

Mr. Willingham further told me mat a meeting of the prudent'tl comm.ttee of Mercer University upas culled for tie morrow night, when the marcVr of the appointment and the action of Profes sor Pollock would qo doubt be dis cussed.

I wish to **y tn addition to tho re port that on the 23d mat.. Mr. Bn- ahinsky was ’ndlebd by the grand Jury aud on the 24th lust pleaded guilty to tho lodLoiroewt. Respectfully. J. U. Riley. Macon. Deo. t, ISOl. 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.
