AX APPHAtL FOR HICT.P.
Tho Telegraph last uljfht received the
‘ following dispatch from cx-Govemor

Am will t>» aeon -by our tooat columns,
the railroads bare oomo to ttio «anlst-
unoe of Governor SortUeu ta this move
ment to relieve the suffering people of
(N'chrnska. It <s a movement that
ought to he successful ond ive tiollcvo
It ylll be.
During [oat years, when pestilence,
Worm or earthquake ban visited tho
ftouth, the people of (he North havo
tieea prompt and generous in their con
tributions for the aid of the sufferers.
There have been times, especially
•when yellow foyer epidemics prevailed,
Svhen svtlhout tlMt ftenerous help, tt Is
stlflloult to oeo how certain Southern
svmmnmltles could have escaped o mic
tions oven mom appall tug than tho pes-
tllenco—how tho poor of such commit-
Miles could have been saved from act.
hsl starvation, 'lltiero Is no question
how of repaying fheeo contributions.
That kind of service cannot t>o paid lor.
Tt has it* origin tn tho generous I in
put? m of ooUo nature*, and tho most
that thoso who hnvo licen brticflte.1 by
ttr manifestations can do Is to emulate
at every opportunity tho spirit from
Which It sprang.
Tho depression caused by tho panto
of last year lias left 'the Southern peo
ple jwor tn money. Tho soiling prices
■of tbelr products are the lowest on tvw-
»rd. But there t« an abundance of
these products, suit from that nbund-
•noo a sufficient altars to alleviate tho
Mistress of tho suffering farmers of Ne
braska should bo promptly fonvunlod
—not In payment of a debt, as wo have
•aid, but to show that wo are not des
titute of fho generous sentiments to
.which wo ourselrea appealed when wo
were In distress.
t WHY TfinY AUT1 8TU.RY1N0,
The Chicago Ileesld has a long report
tot tho condition of Ndbrakku farmers
In that pan of tho state where tho
crops have failed. Practically, tho
whole forming community is destitute.
l\a otUolul. describing tl\e cotklltlon of
Ute people and tho cause* which have
brought it about, says:
"The crops of tho last two years have
been total failures, and In nine years ws
have had hut three crops. Ws have good
(arming country In Perktea county, but
then ta no certainty of rain, and the hot
winds play havoc with the grain when it
comes up. Ws bars a. Ono class of In
dustrious farmers, who haws dons alj
inen could do to rmlie crops and live
within their Incomes hut few hovo any
thing today to show for tho labor of
gseis. Sines I have farmed In Perkins
county I have been obliged to work out
at something else every winter In order
to get money for next year's seed. I
have taught school and dug wells It Is
pretty hard to dig welts all winter to get
money to put In a crop which la almost
certain to prove a failure.
'The limit of our bond issue baring
t-»<n reachol w* are kit helpless for
fund. of any kind. Men and women
Sometimes drive tn here for twenty-Ovs
rules for relief which we are unable to
gut Farmers who hava llvsd In tha
county for years and who hare sunk tbelr
Capital here trying to raise crops come
’in, with tears In their eyes and ask
for food. Not a day passes but any way
from two to six people call at my houso
for help of isomo kind. Of course, I try
to give everyone sorno cf nhot I have,
hut I’m a poor man myeelf and my sup
ply cannot last forever. It la the same
with everyone In town. We have organ
ised the county for the distribution of
relief when ws get It
"There Is not a stream of water In Per
kins county nor a living spring. Wells
run from sixty to vjO feet, the majority
being from about 150 to 800 feet deep.
The soil, It watered! raise* good crops;
If not. It bakes Into a aolkl mass. Tbs
roads and much of the prairies resemble
asphalt, so hard packed and smooth are
they."
It lg difficult to understand why in.
tol'.lftent people have crowded Into such
a country, when the far superior lands
of the South were open to them. Here
they would not be subject to failures
of crops. They would know notblmt of
the scarcity of water that now compels
them to depend on costly irrigation, or
else foce the certainly that In about
two out of three yearn all their labor
on their farms will go for nothing. Nor
will they suffer here from tho vlcissl-
ludes of climatic that there make life
a struggle. Tho summers ore not so
hot, the winters net so cold. Tho truth
Is, the people who have settled in this
•eml-ar.d region of the Northwest
ought to leave It. Doubtless the lands
of that region will be needed at some
time, but that time outfit 1o be when
the better lands of the Hast and South
bavo been occupied. The proposition
to send these people train loads of com
and meat from the .South strikes as
more favorably with fuller considera
tion. They need tietp, in Ihe first place,
and ought to have tt, without any re
gard to tho business interests of tho
people who send them relief. But if in
affording them relief, In rescuing them
from cold and starvation with which
they arc threatened, the South can ad
vertise Its advantages of climate and
product ion, there Is no reason why it
should not do so.
oo soMffimriiNKi.
Congress will reasseutble this week,
and we hope will he better prepared to
attend to the business which tho people
of the country expect tt to transact.
There Is really a very short programme
to go through with. The llrst Item on
It, of course. Is the appropriation bills.
In addition, there ts Utt'.o, except the re
form of tho currency, which the pcopto
expect congress to seriously consider.
But that reform, Including the provis
ion of a revenue targe enough to pay
tho expenses of the government, is
imperative, and the Democratic con-
grtas cannot escape It without doing tho
parly damage from which II wilt not
recover for many years. The situation
Is not so difficult that congress cannot
master It If the Domocratlo members
wilt only try to do so. If they are wil
ling that the government shall go on
Increasing /he public 'debt In a tune of
piucc, adding largely to the burden of
tho tax payers, when there Is not the
toast necessity of doing so, rather than
abandon die attempt io put the curren
cy system of Ihe country on a silver ba
sis, then there Is no hope for the party.
Tho people will know that, as at pres
ent organised, p |* incapable of govern
ing the country, aud will bo careful
never to giro It another opportunity to
do so. But If they sincerely desire to
relievo Uie distress of llie country and
to provide • currency system generally
acceptable to the people, then they cun
do so If they will only eonsent to quit
trying to accomplish the Impossible, for
the free coinage of stiver ts unposable
tn this connlry, under tho conditions
which now exist.
The present congress is, in a certain
sense, irratponsiWe. Most of Its mem
bers will retire to private life after the
4th of next QUtvb. But they should
not bo less patriotic because they havo
been rejected as representatives of tho
people. Indeed, they are In a position
to do exactly what their Judgment and
conscience dicta to In this currency
matter. Tho defeat last fall that makes
them Irresponsible also relieves them
of tha fear that If they do not Bhow
dcferenco for tho demagogic currency
plans which have been forced upon tho
attention of tho people, they will be de
feated. Tho worst that can happen to
them has already happened. If irre
sponsible, they are free to do right «s
moll as free to do wrong.
ITS UATEST DEVELOPMENT.
The national organ of tho People's
the financial ihoi •« of tbit party con
cisely when It sava thut tho circuit t ug
medium of tho uatlou “should lie equal
to Its aggregate wealth, and no more
nor lam. In order that each cuiico may
bo able to obtain the representative of
ratnc, equal In amount to his posses
sions. The basis of circulation should
bo 4ho actual values of the nation."
The tggn\gjle wealth of the country
is something like sixty-five billion dal-
Vm—about on thousand for each man,
woman ami child in tho country. This
ta somowhat In excess of tho $o0 per
capita rato demanded by tho AUinnco
and by the Omaha convention, but It
Will bo remembered that tfiat demand
was for <e minimum—“at least $50 per
capita," we believe, was tho form of
words employed. One thousand dollars
per capita, however, seem* now to bo
considered tho proper figure.

CARD FROM OOL. HARDEMAN.
To tho Editor of tho TYdegrsph: Per
mit me to make tho following state
ment In reference to tho occurrence
of Tuesday evening last in svbldi Jack
Hardeman was concerned, and which
Ins been given great publicity by the
city press. Tbit ho was disorderly,
arrested and sent to the city barracks
is roorttfyinflljr true. I cannot acquit
him of llm charge. Why Mr. Powers
Should have preferred the charge of ar
son (w crime that is not billable)
against him f will not say. On being
Informed by triejfhone of Jack's ar
rest, 1 at once sent my son Giles to
inquire Into tho fact* aud report to
mo. On smtemcnls made to Recorder
Freeman, ho required Jack to give a
bond In the sum cf $200 before he
would order Ills release. The amount
of this bond was uot satisfactory to
Mr. Powers, he stating that hi* loss
was double tha t sum, and lh.1t he would
sue out a warrant for arson. He Was
admonished by Chief Butner, who
was well Informed of all the foots, that
there was no ground for such a cliarge,
and advised him against such a slip.
My son Giles added his entreaty, and
pledged tils wont that it Powers would
not takq any action that night but
■wait until tho next day, that I would
do what was right and adjust all
lossea satisfactorily that Mr. Powers
bad sustained. To all 4Ms Powers
turned a deaf ear, ami swore out the
warrant for arson. Had he listened to
the entreaties and the pledge of my
son, that pledge would have been by
me religiously redeemed. After spurn
ing the entreaty of Giles ond heaping
all the odium possible upon me, the
next morning powers started to my
office, when 1 refused to have anything
to say to him. In regard to the charge
of malicious mischief, l havo this to
say, that when tho case iwas before Re
corder Freenwn, Powers Stated that he
had the names of the gentleman and
tally who were present at the time and
by whom he expected to sustain this
charge. Upon being asked to give
their names, he flatly declined. Ob
taining through others the names of
these parties, Mr. George S. Jones
called upon them and ascertained di
rectly from one'of them, the other be
ing absent, that this matter had beeu
discussed and they were both of the
opinion, and bad so stated, that it was
an accident and unlntentionaL'on the
part of Jack. The rccordor/nml the
officer making tho arrest only dis
charged tbelr duty In this matter, and
1 have no complaint, ‘
For the kindly consideration shown
me by Ihe correspondent of the Atlanta
Constitution, 1 here express my thank
fulness anil appreciation, and to all
(and they are many) who have ex
tended me tbelr sympathies .-I return
heartfelt thanks.
Isaac Hardeman.

To tho Editor of the Telegraph: It
does seem that the people of ^tnev'ille
are very quiet under comUtloua which
threaten ho make a pestilence Ju ilia:
beautiful and populous suburb. I say
beautiful, for perhaps lliero Is nowhere
In all the length and breadth of Gear-
gin a more dceirnblo and attractive to-
ofltlly for homes than the famous ridge
slretelilng towards the northwest,
drained by the natural slopes to the
river and smaller water courses which
flow Into the Oemulgee, and Itathed tn
the oaone laden breezes of in.rtme tleor-
gtai ■ This elevated plateau catty In the
history of thla section of thnsttte was'
selootcd for residential nnflatmiAfhan
purposes. For a long time R was oc
cupied by wealthy families who were
enabled to maintain Imposing homes,
with spacious grounds. To a certain
extent, this is no longer true. Many
of the old families havo been scattered
by death, or otherwise, many of ihc-
tougo (vokllnu have been cut up Into
amal! lota anil nunferous now residences
have been erected thereon. The village
ts prosperous, for tho white population
of Vlneville has about quadrupled, I
should nay, ta the last six years. Tlteae
conditions nro doubtless known to all,
but It win be presently aeon that the
advantages of Vlneville for tv place of
residence ore by no menus secure. It
la. perhaps, not generally known that
Vinevtlla la wholly without any aysfem
of sewerage, sanitary or otherwise.
Each family this attempted to supply
this alarming necessity of the village
In lla own way, and the result has been
almost as many different attempts at
sewers as there are dwolllugs., With
rare oxoeptlons, perhaps only then m
roses where tho tola are very 1 large,
these devices ore exceedingly Insuffi
cient, and with threatening results not
only to tho health of the famlUesttsIng
them, but to their neighbors nnd the
community. Take, for instance, the
cluster of handsome dwellings in the
neighborhood opposite 'Mrs. Clisby's
park. Borne of tho gentlemen who
own thuae reeldotoxw, I am informed,
have conducted fife sewage from their
houses Into tho earth with tho hope
that tho absorbent properties of the
soil WIU take up the noxious qualities.
Others, although tho dwellings are
otoser together, use sinks oren' more
objectionable, and disquieting to re
late, vet oilier*, tt » albied, have con
ducted their sewage of every charac
ter into certain wells once famous for
their unfailing supply of pure wnter,
and so the Infective matter, In all like-
llhood, v.fl permeate flic underground
streams which supply tho wxti>r to al
most every family of tho village. If
this la tnie, could anything be more
threatening to the health and the lives
of the people? Tho writer Is informed
by an official charged with 6uch mat
ters, wiv-i has made a ponsonal exami
nation, that tn Vlnevlllo one gentleman
connects his soli pipes with a thirty-
foot well, another with an eigateeu-foot
well, atlH another with s weU the depth
of which could not be ascertained.
There are, besides, MtsQgsg covered
sinks, merely pits cut Into tho porous
SOIL \Vhtie tt is not posflble always
to teU tacar the subterranean veins an.1
water course* flow, yet In view of the
level character of tills plateau, the
chances are very great that every well
tn Vkwtls will bo poisoned by these
connections, ami the chances arc even
stronger that such deadly diseases as
typhoid fever in all of its forms, diph-
thorla ami the like, will in a abort time
produce death and dismay in what ore
now, and have been, many of the hap
piest and most delightful suburban
homo* In the siuie.
These fact* are not mentioned for
tho purpose of giving offense to any
one, Irat merely to awaken the people
of Vlneville to a sense of their danger.
The difficulties In the proper disposition
of sewage in Vlnevlllo nre very great.
No doubt these objoeivoncble sewers
were lapgely unavoidable, and no re
flection Is intended on any one. It has
long been settled, however, that con
tamination of toe water supply of a
people ta one of tho moat fruitful
sources of pestilence, nnd while wo do
not always know how nature baa di
rected the “waters under the earth,”
reason teaches us to believe that there
must l>e intimate connections with all
of the subterranean streams which
havo for eo many years afforded a plen
tiful and refreshing supply of water to
the people of VlnevSle. Nor do I writ©
merely to call attention to the danger,
but also to suggest the remedy. The
imperfect and dangerous instances of
sewerage referred to and all other sim
ilar expedients would, no doubt, be at
once abandoned by Vlneville people, If
those who constructed them could do
»•>. IVhat, then, is tho true policy of
Vlneville? I take the liberty to sug
gest that a meeting be called and steps
taken to raise <t fund, and if need be
pledge property for that purpose, to
pay a fair share of tho coat of the main
sewer leading down the Vinevllle
branch Into ihe river, and also to con-
slruct sewers through Vlneville as far
as 1t may bo practicable tlo carry off
tho sewage from the village. Macon
'.a now having Its' system of sanitary
sewers rapidly completed. The con
tractors are here with all the plant nec
essary to do this work. No doubt they
would ovntract with Vlneville upon
fair and liberal terms. It would he to
their interest to do so. The time ta op
portune to obtain sowers fr this beau
tiful section, which is a strong ally, If
It shall not some day be incorporated,
with tho city. _ . .
Vlneville must act and. act nt once.
The writer has tile assurance of some
of the most prominent public-spirited
gentlemen in Macon that there will he
no refusal on the part of the city to co
operate with suburban residents who
spend their lives pnd conduct their bus
iness la intimate association with the
people of Macon. It a easily recognized
that many of tho residents of Vlneville
contribute largely to the prosperity of
Macon by their work, their trade and
tiheir presence near the city. Hnguenlu
Heights is also vitally interested to a
similar, If not to an equal extent. Let
tho meeting, I again “
witliin ti few days, anti lot a committee
be appointed of the elder men of Vlne-
Tllle and Huguonin Ilrights to confer
•with the aldermen of Macon, and let
a fair and equitable plan of mutual
benefit to tooth communities be adopt
ed. The delay Is not only dongerous,
but the danger ta, In all l.Uelthood, irre
parable. Aquar.ua.
SHORT TA.LKS
. WITH MANY PEOPLE.
"I .have a $20 goldplece here,” said
Mr. W. C. Turpin as he threw n big
yellow coin down on my dtmk, that
somebody gave to one of the young
men Betting fireworks aF Christmas
for a dollar. I thaye waited for some
body to roll for it, or at least to ad
vertise for it, but as no one has
claimed It I 'have a susgi-stlon to make.
Suppose, mow, we make this the nu
cleus for a. good dinner for the poor
on New Year's dtuy. When I say a
good dinner I mean an elegant dinner,
as good as anybody has—It will b: a
trait to. the poor. I feel satisfied that
we can get the VoOunteem’ armory
for the purpose, and that we can rosily
raise enough for the dinner by getting
contributions of both money nnd food.
There are hundreds of ladles in the
city who will cheerfully contribute
cakes, pies, joules and the like, while
Che men can contribute money for such
things as -the ladles do not cook. Other
cities have a grand charity dinner
once each yew, and Macon, with h-:r
great liberality should do so, too. For
the past several yrors I havo wanted
Macon to give a big dinner to the poor,
but have hesitated to start. Now. how
ever, I think with tills $?0 as a nu-
eleus we can get the dlnn r up by
Now Year's day. Ail money contri
butions can be sent to the Telegraph
oltia; between now and the first of
January, ond all food contributions
sent to the armory on New Year’s
morning,"
Mr. Turpin's suggestion Is a good one,
and the Telegraph will acknowledge
alt contributions loft at tho business
office for Mi® dinner. Such a dinn?r
would ho n godsend to the poor, nnd
would delight them beyond measure.
Mr. Turpin hits offered hi* services tn
superintending srrwig.'mjnts, nnd no
man Is better luted or more capable
Of getting up an elegant feast at email
expense. Whttt say the peorfl;?
