“Peevish Legislation."
We are not often able to acre* with
the Atlanta Constltutlonln its opinions
blit wa do oot hesitate to commend so
•ntich of an editorial, in Us Issue of
yesterday, as follows:
The newspapers of Maoon ere making
a great deal of noise about railroad
consolidation—„nv complaining that the
city hen been "botllod up" by one sys
tem, and the olher arguing to the con-
drary.
In the lively agitation which has
characterised the dleeutalnn of thn
question, the city of Macon la so far
the only sufferer; and If the parlies to
the controversy could be Induced to
carry their contention before a irlbunnl
of final settlement rather than by tight-
tng the battle through the columns of
the newspapers, tt would be much, bet
ter for all concerned.
The question Involved being a legal
and not a legislative one. It would aoem
tbat the place to settle It would t» In
the courts. It Is claimed on the one
aide that one company haa absorbed
tho several lines entering Macon, and
that such consolidation ta contrary to
law. The question Is. therefore, strictly
one for judicial determination. The
railroads have either violated the law—
or they have not. If they have, the
courts will so decide; and If, on the
other hand, after Judicial Investigation,
It ta found that tho situation In which
the railroads entering Macon And
themselves Is not violative of the law,
decision *wlll be rendered accordingly.
Bat tbe only way to reach direct set
tlement of the question Is through the
courts, and the sooner a Anal decision
Is rendsrsd the better It will be for
the people end the railroads.
If. ten years ego, appeal had been
made to tbe courts Instead of to the
legislature, the question would have
been disposed of before this; but one
teal stature after another ha* waited
time and money In endeavoring to solve
a problem which was no part of tho
work of the teglalature, and which be
longed properly to the courts.
The sort of agitation now going on
In Macon is calculated to do more
harm than good. It tends to excite urn
reasonable prejudice against corpora-
lions that have become to be absolutely
essential to the commercial existence of
the communities which they reach.
To herrass railroad or other corpora
tion* by ine»n* ot peevish legislation,
or to Invent what might be termed
retaliatory scheme* of reprisal, It
►imply to hurt and cripple the vast
public tntereeta. communal and Indi
vidual. that are bound up In these tinea.
We mean, cf course, that ih# relations
which the railroad* be*r to the people
nnd th» people to the railroads are too
vast and too far-renchlng to bo oettled
or disposed of by measures tbat ere
the result of iegialatloa baaed M
blind prejudice.
The Telegraph haa participated In the
discussion only by way of protest
against the folly or It. Unquestionably
tho right course to pursue, for any
party who has a grievance. Is to seek
tho courts and other tribunals which
have jurisdiction under the law. The
Telegraph haa instated that this ta the
only way to remedy any trouble that
may exist, but It ha* been unable to
discover that the parties engaged in the
agitation have any proof of non-com
ptlance with the law by the railroad*.
Aa the Constitution says, "the sort ol
agllatlon now going on In Macon la
calculated to do more harm than good
and especially to Macon. The Tele
graph welcome* any aid it may be
vouchsafed from any quarter In It* cf
fort to allay the spirit of hostility to
corporations. OcoiglA haa been moat
hcrtously hurt, not only by “peevlah
legislation," but also by the blather
skites. bushwhackers and barrators
who foment litigation against railroad
and other corporate enterprises for the
mere purpose of making fees. The Con
stitution's suggestions are timely and
directly In lino with thoss we have
made. The law provides remedies for til
wrongs. It Is the Anarchist, the de
structive. the eand-lottcr who seeks to
InAime public prejudice, to tear up
and to destroy, to array claaa against
class, to exclts the poor against the
rich and to promote the mobocracy tn
order tbat he may thrive In the ton-
fusion. The right to do tu tint si tn
Georgia has already been too much
curtailed, and we need legislation
tho way et repeal, and mure court de-
clalous conserving the right ot prop
erty. Satinets men need help and not
hindrance. Tbe Atlanta Constitution,
for once. Is pretty nearly right, and tt
I- regrettable that It has not always
talked in this wholesome strain. It la
a timely rebuke to the malcontents and
rulechlcf-mskers. not only of Macon,
but of other communities In Georgia-
“Tho Minority Rebuked,"
Under this caption the Memphis
Commercial-Appeal says:
What the Hon. llrnton McMIllln has
been longing for, and what the Hon.
David A. De Amtond haa been long
ing tor. haa come to pass, and the Hat
ley and antl-Batley forcea have lined
up and concluded a trial ot strength.
The Insurgents have been liberal In
their clalnta that tbe Democrat* In
congress did not approve of Mr. Hat-
Icy'* leadership, and would turn hint
down the Aret opportunity th*r pre
sented Itself. We were told that only
a few member* were following Bailey,
and that they were doing this for self
ish purposes, with a view to recuring
eligible committee appointments
through Mr. Bailey's tmluence. but
that tbe great body ot the Democratic
congressmen were reedy to reptadlate
Bailey, and would take the tret oppor
tunity of doing so. Kvery effort was
mad* to reach a teat vote, and tbe re
calcitrant dissident* threatened hold
ing another caucus for the purpose of
ousting tbe young Texan leader. But.
strange to relate, when the vote was
counted Bailer eras sustained nnd tbe
dlaaldenu were defeated. Tho majori
ty that put Bailey forth aa a leader,
and who agreed uuh Mm In hla poli
cies. came to his rescue when the test
. vote *u hid. an t the vaunted forcca
ot tho opposition were repudiated. The
contest v.us a cl»,ec „l. C, tnd Ballej e
majority could not have been smaller,
liut It was a vindication, neverthele-a,
ami a surprising vindication, consider
ing the clslms made by hie enemies.
The be whiskered Populist* and the
scarcely le*s windy fualonlet* Joined
the Insubordinate minority of the Dem
ocrat* to a men, being naturally anx
ious to see the rent In the party gar
ment as wide as possible. If they can
secure a permanent split in the Dem
ocratic ranks, of coArae they will *h-
ttorb that side which Is nearest to
their way of thinking. Mr. Halley's re
buke wa* well delivered and equally
well merited. The pitiable spectacle
that Is presented to the country-on ac
count of personal ambitions and un
worthy Jealousies, and carrying on a
war among themselves, should be re
moved. If congressmen cannot re
spect party usages and political prece
dents and get together in a solid ar
ray. they need not expect the Democ
racy to follow them into tho disorder
they are breeding. The i>etty ambi
tion* and feverish' envy of would-be
leader* must not be permitted to come
In and disorganize the party. It la
hoped. *nd very earnestly hoped, that
the turbulent minority of the Demo
crat! In congress will now see tbe error
of their way and cease further bicker
ings.
What la said In the foregoing Is true
enough, but the fact that "Baltey'a
majority could not have been smaller"
Is poor encouragement for those who
want to see a compact minority par
ty standing In the fere battling for
principle as they understand It That
tho party in the house, and In the sen
ate as welt, ts torn Into vrarrlqg fac
tions is painfully evident The whole
troublo ts traceable to tbe Arst great
crime committed against tho party of
Jefferson at Chicago last year. The
seed* of discord were sown there.
Allens were permitted, by loose and
e.oropromlslng dickers tn the party pri
maries, to como in and march away
with the party banners. They cast lots
for the sub-banners, and each tittle
faction got one, and hinging it to the
hreese marched ■ away, on Its own
hook. Hut they cared not for the prin
ciples for whloh tho party ensigns
stood, and they cast them aside. They
wanted votes and not principles—men,
not measures. The men, it was bc-
Jlved, would follow the stolen banners
tike dumlf driven cattle, and many did,
but not enough to suit their purposes.
Several of these sub-standard bear
ers have turned up tn congress, and
each Is trying to form tho line behind
himself, and each suspects and as
saults tho other. 8o we have It.
Failure of tho Treaty.
It 1* ju«t as well tbat «he arbitration
treaty failed of ntlAoatlon by the
United States senate. It bad been so
amended and emasculated that If it had
been sent to Great Britain it would have
probably been rejected tiy that govern
ment. -w* are spared that humiliation.
Thu* doe* a treat project, worthy ot
Christian civilization, come 4o naught.
It was estopped by a baud of political
pettifogger* who have Utile In common
wlrti tho true aspiration* of the Ameri
can people. All the world deplores the
failure of the measure which wa* to
make so much for humanity and which
wa* -to enhance the preeliga of tho Amer
ican gorermnent a* the foremost among
tbe right-feeding powers of the earth.
But tho United Staten senate (a not'
what it was. Swaattbucklca and tide-
waiter*. chiriaUuts and reactionists Bit
many of the aeata that were once graced
by men of noble mind* and noble pur
poses^ . They awe. In great' measures
merely opportunities to parade tbrir pet
ty blgotrir*. being wholly Incapable of
meeliug tbe rcqiftremcat* of a high end
catholic statesmanship. Tbe d ditto
over the treaty and most ol the amend
ment* proposed and adopted plainly evi
denced the degeneracy of the eenato and
revealed to tt* people tbat they have
bestowed the senatorial mantle upon too
many am ail-beer politician*.
It will be many a long day before tho
United State* wlU l>e asked to cater Into
tn arbitration treaty with any other
great power. The eenato may now pro
ceed to pau resolutions In favor of the
policy, hut such resolution* will only bo
regarded with derision by other nations.
The reopto of America have every can#*
to feel chagrined that their own senate
baa fulled to maintain the standard of
the national purpose.
Specie* of Communism. * 1
Tire Covington Enterprise, ono of oux
levelheaded Georgia exchanges, Indulges
in the following sensible remarks:
Uvery now and then a petition And* it*
way to the rallcid counMoner* ask
ing a reduction of freight rote* on Arst
one artkde and then w another. The
latent petition of rhit kind act* for a
wholesale horlznnl-al reduction of 33 1-3
per cut of freight rate* on ell tbe nit
ron 1* ,< Hie suite, or course such a
sweeping redaction would mean bank
ruptcy amt ruin to all tbe railroad*, and
wilt not ho made. Jn speaking of this
petition the Allmny Herald said that the
proposition evidently comm front an ex
treme clement which la Incapable of rec-
ognUtlog the fact that railroads have any
right*. These extreml*)* sewn to over
look the fact tbat railroad* are property
and tbat they are entitled to property
right* under the laws of the state. It is
« sperlet ot communism which would. In
the last analysis of he tendency, pull
down til great enterprises, both corpor
ate and pertoaaf, to the common herd
level.
The,Enterprise repeats what It baa
said before, tbat right end justice de-
ntanda that the railroad* be allowed to
make at least a reasonable profit on rite
money Invested. lAgielatton and peti
tion* to tower freight and peaeenger rate*
have frightened many people from In
vesting a dollar in ratlroea enterprtpre,
wbea. if given a fair chance,* no safer 4n-
w.. intent could be made than owning
railroad boo.)* and murk*. There haa
been enough restriction*. regulations and
fr ■ ghi reduction* on the railroads In
this -teikand they outfit to he let alone
for a pP. and given an opportunity to
make o*Vtd a small profit on the large
amount -J money Invested in thee* ben
eficial end necessary enterprise*.
These word* are sensible and true.
It may be *a!4 further, it Is time tbe
tune arts made, so that the people who
have nuncy In raHroed atoekn and bond*
and those who are employed by them
should know where they stand. If these
properties, these tuean* of support, ere to
be wrecked it -Is time they knew it end
were preparing for the crarh.
The populist* htvfi been ridiculed for
adrocatlng government ownership ft
railroad*. but their policy i* more honest
than the i<an* of the wrecker*. They
propo#* that those who have their money
Invested la railroads of the country shall
have their money refunded to them.

According to these entertaining news
mediums, the equipment for Capt.
Howell's new venture haa already been
purchased,'and developments may be
expected any day.
Where will the captain get his staff?
There will be no trouble on that score.
■When he call* tor workers nearly every
man In the big Constitution building
will rush to his support.
It remain* to be seen whether these
rumor* will materialize or not.
Atlanta wants a new custom house,
and Livingston will do hla best to get
It tor her.
The etateaman from Newton knows
very well that hla opponents are pre
paring to make It hot for him next
year, and be wiu strain every nerve to
win favor with the Fulton county Demo
crats. He recognizes the fact that Ful
ton la a danger centre, a* la also the
county of Rockdale. Nowhere In the
district la there more bitter opposition
to him than exist* among the Rock
dale voter*. Col. Bill Peek Uvea tn that
county, and he will fight him to (he
very last. The leading prfacbera, law
yer* and merchant* of Conyers have
been against him tor twenty-five years,
and they will vote tor anybody to de
feat him. ,
Ot course ths Atlanta politicians are
in touch with their friend* In Rockdale,
andl they arc at work at this early day
to get the two counties together.
The friends of Mr. Clark Howetl In
tended at the proper time to bring him
forward, but It ts now generally admit
ted tbat It will be wiser for him to

Mr. Thomas R. R. Cobb Is vigorous
ly denying his rumored congressional
candidacy, but some of hla Intimates
have mapped out a programme tor him.
They eay. that Tom will be hand!
capped by no oM political antagonisms.
Ho 1* bright, handsome, enthusiastic
and eloquent. Then he Is atf eclectic In
politics. He le an Independent, with a
platform composed of Democratic. Re
publican and Populist planks. With his
ardor and dash, this young man would
capture all the women nnd get Into the
good graces of the masses at once.
Hla candidacy, however, depends up
on a contingency. He will be tn the
race if Livingston gets tbe nomination,
but If the Democrats nominate a
stronger man he will watt.
Gome of the newspapers up thl* way
are saying pleasant things about the
prospective gubernatorial condldate*
from the lower part of the state. All
this ts meaningless poppycock. North
Georgia want* everything In sight, and
when the time domes she will clamor
tor the governorship.
Will McKinley zeleot one city In a
Southern Democratic state and give It
a couple of foreign mlestona, several im
portant consulship* and other tempt
ing plum*? Some people here think
that Atlanta will be thus favored, but
they will find themselves mistaken.
There are hundreds of able men In
other Southern cities who have ren
dered valuable aid to Mr. McKinley,
and I they will hardly be ignored to ad
vance the interests of some of the new
converts here.

about a man named Knight who died,
and bis friends Inscribed on hla tomb

"Ha. ha!” laughed Wallace Rhodes
of the postofflce; "that's a good one.
but It would hardly do for me. "Good

“Cross Rhodes might fill the bill,"
