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. SEWEKS lYMl VIXEVJLLE.

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. ■Macon, Dec. 20, 1 Sill. A, VISmiUUR’9 NERDS. 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;?
