President Roosevelt's recommendation

bills and a multitude of suggestions.

to some desolate spot where there was
no government and where, therefore,
they could enjoy their boasted Utopia
while the rest of the world would en

Nothing la said sa to how to catch
the anarchist In the first place, and no
particular spot is suggested, but It is
intimated that the government of civi

ATLANTA. Dec. 8.—For the past for
ty days the doing? of the Georgia legis
lature has engaged the attention of the
reading public, and so engrossed have
the newpgatherero been In giving re
ports of the utterances of those Georgia
solons on the Abstruse problems of state
that have confronted them that a very
useful—In fact the most useful and
necessary part of the legislative machi
nery has been overlooked.
Every legislature has good, bad and
Indifferent members, and the proceed
ings will be there to report every year
whether It is an exceptionally bright
and brainy body of men, or whether it
Is a mediocre assemblage. Without, as
the supreme court says, passing upon
the qucHtlon. which Is not under review,
we will proceed to the point at issue,
which is that no assemblage of men,
however brilliant and brainy, can ac
complish Ita work with any degree of
satisfaction without a good secretary.
In that the Georgia house of repre
sentatives is very fortunate, and Macon
should feel proud of her distinguished
citizen who so ably and acceptably Alls
that' position,
Hon. John T. noifeulllet has made a
model clerk of the house and has given
universal satisfaction. He Is popular
with every member of the house, cour
teou* and obliging, and keeps his books
and records and papers always In ap
ple-pie order. He has gathered about
him a corps of assistants that could not
be improved upon—bright, quick, active,
energetic—and the business of the
house, from the clerk's standpoint, has
moved along Rmoothly and evenly.
Mr. Bolfeulllet dropped into his posi
tion naturally, and from the first day
filled It like on old stager, and there

an attempt made to raise values to a
still hilgher level by means of various
deals, by encouraging easy money and
by other artifices best known to skilful
manipulators. Continued prosperity and
large railroad earnings have afforded a
strong basis for such a movement, nd
at the moment there are no signa of
pronounced weakness, except the un
satisfactory developments in Amal

unquestionably committed to the long
side of the market; they have stocks
to sell which the public are slow to buy
unless they see more certainty of prof
it than has been offered. Simple pros
perity, some think, has been amply dis
counted, and reliance is now often plac
ed upon the effects of deals which
promise to increase the dividend capac
ities of certain securities. As a result
the market Is strong only In spots, and

The thing la an easy and a* safe »n ro-
peatlnx or anjr of the kmnl»h method* of
swelling the Machine vote In Philadelphia
and other parts of tha stats. <
It should bo plain enough to every
scnslbla man of whatever section that
the restriction of the vote nmong lllit-
oratep Is highly desirable, nnd that,
tharefore, the "rebellion or crime"
clausa should bo either repealed or be
come a dead letter, as is now practi
cally tho case. Yet there Is a great huo
nnd cry because some of the Southern
states have taken steps to protect their
political Institutions from a denre mans
of Illiteracy, and on the very first day
of the present session of congress Hep-
resentatlve Moody of Massachusetts In
troduced a bill providing for an Inves
tigation aa to tho right of Louisiana to
representation In congress for negroes
disfranchised under the election law®
of that state.
It la true thnt In some of tho South-
ern states a discrimination Is made be
tween white and black Illiterates, but
nevertheless the federal law Is broken
In Massachusetts si well as In Louisi
ana, and If the latter must pay the pen
alty of reduced representation no must
tha former. Tha pro-negro Phlladelphli
Press admits this, saying that "If Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut or any oth
er Northern state have placed any re
etrlctlons on the exercise of the suf
frage which violate the terms of tho
fourteenth and fifteenth amendments
they must pay the penalty for that vio
lation."
It was generally understood thit
President McKinley waa opposed to a
reopening of the question. The position
of President Roosevelt la unknown, but
It will be revealed should Mr. Moody's
hill pass and he sent to him for ap
proval. The Republican papers that are
clamoring for congress to take up this
question are concerned with a good
deal more than the supposed welfare of
the negroes. They hope to see.the elec
toral vote of the Southern states so re
duced that the Republican party will
have everything In Ita own hand*. Thus
the Philadelphia Press estimates that
"forty testa In congress and aa many
votes In the electoral college are baaed
on the disfranchised negro vote."
It looks now ms If the effort will real
ly be made to reducq the representation
of those Southern Maten that have
adopted franchise restrictions. What
the result will be remain* to be teen.
Massachusetts may give back the vote
to her illiterates rather than see her
representation reduced, but It la doubt
ful If Louisiana or 8outh Carolina
would do so. The Baltimore Sup Is
probably very near the truth In taylng
that, though a few years since "such a
proposition would have created alarm
and bitternes In the Southern states,"
the people of this section now art
"more concerned About efficient and
economical administration of the nf-
fall 1 ! of their state* than they are about
predominance In national affairs. They
haw amended their constitutions, not
In Ignorance of the consequence* that
might follow the disfranchisement of
negroes, but with the determination to
have good local government, even If It
involved a loss of representation In con
frere and In the electoral college."

He Is a good second to Mr. Bolfeulllet

blanket to say that It would be hard to
excel this pair in the entire state.

after deciding thnt the old Coffee road,

then wnnted the line between Berrien

naturally protested and again by agree

upon a line. The comml,loners were to

ATLANTA, Dec. I.—According
Bcpresentstlve McLennon of Telfair,
the Jury commissioners In several of
the counties of the state are using their
oflflcei for political purposes and that
In this way they are hampering the
business of the courts.
This statement was made by Mr. Me
Lennon on the floor of the hop so yes
terday In dtacusslng his bill to allow
the superior court Judges of the state
to remove Jury commie,loners with or
without canoe at will.
Bepresentatlve McLennon said that
very often In many of the counties
these Jury commissioners will fill the
Jury box up with the names of relatives
snd political henchmen, and very often
they are antagonistic to the Judges
themselves, snd hamper them greatly
In their duties.

had a recovery and activity during the
last two months which has been no
tably absent. The pu^lid has wisely kept
aloof from extensive commitments on
the long side, confllnlng Its activities
to quick trading; and this Is likely to
be the safe course for some time
come, or until natural Influence* once
more assert their away.
The situation In some respects Is
very remarkable. Never before were
stocks so highly concentrated; and the
steadying power resulting from this
process Is highly Insignificant. Appoi
rently tho powers In control are able to
hold the market Impregnable against
all ordinary assaults; and while this
situation lasts Judgment must be di
rected accordingly. At the same time
stocks must be directed,Accordingly. At
the same time stocks are being slowly
scattered, and the large sums of money
seeking Investment may enable the
market leaders to successfully lighten
sufficiently long; as some are bold
enough to believe It will. But the busi
ness situation Is spotty. Great activity
la apparent In the iron trade where the
physical revolution In railroad stand
ards Is causing nn abnormal demand
for Iron. There Is also great prosperity
In the coal trade, and an active de
mand at profitable rrtces for many ar
ticles of food and clothing. Prices for
these aro the highest In ten years, and
people aro spending vastly more on
luxuries and commodities appealing to
aesthetic tastes than usual. Economy
Is the exception and extravagance the
rule, and how long this will continue
no one knows. There arc signs of re
action which only the blind will not sec
and they demand caution. Wo will soon
begin to visibly see the effect of the
corn crop failure nnd the consequent
loss of freight to lines traversing tho
corn belt. Aa a result prices of cattle
feed have risen abnormally. Another
blow is the shrinkage In the cotton
crop, which must adversely affect lm
portant sections of the South.
High prices and scarcity are not con
nt Odds duclve to continuous prosperity In ;ptte
of a delusion to the contrary which
some people entertain. Still another
unfavorable feature has been the de
clines In our exports- which, though
perhaps not permanent. Indicate a ces
sation of the excessive trade balances
which have been a fruitful source of
self-congratulation. Our exports of
copper declined about 123.000,000 during
the first ten months of foot and our
exports of Iron mnnufacturea showed
Joss of 124,000,000 In the same period.
Such factors an these cannot be Ignored.
They are signs of our being at or near
the top, and common prudence dictates
caution In transactions entering Into
the future.
