PENDLETON, President and Manager. C. R. PENDLETON LOUIS PENDLETON ..... Editon A HBSPECTABLB “ HOWL. " When th* representative of the Unk ing employes of th* telephone company In New Orleani went to the mayor of that city and demanded that the dlf ferencca between tta* company and its employers be submitted to arbitration, or he would "not he reaponalble for consequence*.” ha received, accordluf to the Tlmes-Democrot, a very curt an swer. Mayor McIJacken declared that it was not his affair. "The matter,” said he, "Ilea between ths telephone company of this city and Its own employes. I hsva nothing whatever to do with their dif ferences. I trust that they may soon be settled In a manner satisfactory to all concerned. But my duty Is clearly to protect life and property, to prevent violence and to enforce the law. And right hero I want to say to you, Mr. Xxwkman, that. If thla lawleaaneaa con tlnuee, 1 ehull hold you personally re aponsible. It Is absurd and an Insult to my Intelligence fo aay to me that you know nothing of what la golug on, and that you are not In sympathy with It.” The Naw York Bun flnda "an Impress ive and Instructive difference" between the above conception of official duty and that of Governor Btone of Pennsyl vanla. The New Orleana official "up held the law by refusing to tolerate the violation," while Governor Btone trayed It by dickering with and lend ing his countenance to lawleaaneaa.' The Bun applauds the acting mayor of New Orleana: "Nor did any howl for arbitration and for a 'settlement' of the strike, so that every one might have coat—we mean telephone aervlce—shake his ssnse of duty." This is all vary well so far ms the po sition of ths acting mayor of New Or leans In the telephone strike Is con cerned. It Is the proper position for governing officials to take under ordi nary circumstances. The censure of Governor Blon* Is also deserved. But It Is well for the Bun to remember that In view of the threatened coal famine on the approach of winter the cost strike was not an ordinary case, and that the "howl for arbitration" was very exteneive and came from very re- apectable quarter*. Indeed, the preel dent of th* United Statee may be said to hava Joined In this "howl." eince It we* through hie earnest and active endeavors that arbitration waa.brouaht about. Tht prlnclpla on which the may or of Naw Orleana acted la aound, but there are times when pressure from the outside may be demanded. BRITISH VIEW OF AMERICAN TRADE Commenting on the effect of the ex treme prosperity ih the United States, upon conditions In-Europe and In Brit ish colonies, the British Trade Journal says: "Bo long as business actively lasts In North America there Is little probability of a fall In the price of meat and other foodstuffs. The con sumers of Europe are complaining of ths Increased prices resulting from these altered conditions. Nearly all classes of cereals and of meat and other provisions, which used to be re ceived In Incresslng quantities from the United Htates, have been raised In vslus. and consumers arc beginning to ask whether the British colonies and South American countries cannot come to their assistance. There la every en couragement. therefore, for the cattle and wheat growers of Australasia, Can ada and of th* river Platte to extend their production and to obtain a share of th* higher prices now prevailing In the markets of Europe. Europe under present circumstances Is abls to take all that those countries can eend, whether tn tfie shape of live cattle or frosen meat, as well aa In cereals and cotton. The last-named commodity Is the source of much anxiety to the Lan- csnthlre cotton manufacturer, who flnda that ha Is almost entirely depend ent upon the United States for this In dispensable commodity. He Is, there fore, anxious to buy from other coun trice and to encourage the growth and development of the cotton trade In South America. This Is a condition of things which haa not existed for more than a generation, and It opens up a vista of prosperity for our colonies and for South American countries which until now was supposed to belong only to the North American republic." OF INTEREST TO COTTON GROWERS The Scientific American reports that a new industry has recently been started In Germany which offers con siderable prospects and poselbllltlea, L *., the wood-pulp or cellulose tissues made by the Patentsplnnerel Actlen- gesellechaft at Altdamm near Stettin. The spinning of wood-pulp or cellulose Is ths patsnted invention of Gustav Turk, manager of the cellulose works at Walsun on the Rhine, and the well known Inventor. Dr. Carl Kellner, of Vienna, It It Is taken Into considera tion that th* process Itself la consider ably cheaper than the usunl method ot making yarn; that even the shortest animal or vegetable fibers can thereby be easily spun Into yarn, and that the price of th* beet quality of wood-pulp Is only about one-third of that of ordi nary cotton, the advantages and possi bilities ot this process are evident. Doubtless yarn mad* according to thle process will In the future replace to a considerable extent woolen, linen, cot ton and especially Jute yarns, partic ularly In th* cheaper grades df tlsauea, and for such tissues where pliability and handsome color ere of main Im portance. AN TO WEALTH IN CHUNKS. Mlsa Marie CorelU ivis unhorsed In her tilt with th* editor of th* Gentle- -woman, but she has had tints to re mount hsr charger and adjust hsr lanes, for now with a war whoop, a cloud ot dust snd a great clatter she come* fiercely at Morgan and Carnegie as type# of th* "vulgar" . American millionaire.

Everywhere ths monster "Is devouring everything In Its deadly trip, which, If It It per mitted to hold, would mean mischief and lose of prestige to our country, though no doubt It might create re joicing In America." Mr. Carnegie, it seems. Is less terrifying hut more con temptible, he being "a poor human biped," full of "ostentation and swag ger." Even his libraries Irritate Mlsa CorelU, perhaps because they have been placed within the reach of too many common people. At any rat* ehe says they are atrawn "all over the surface of the country as If they were so many lollipops thrown out of a schoolboy’* satchel,'' and th* "masaea" whom they are exoected to benefit hear of Mr. Carnegie's doings “with mingled wonder and derision." But Miss Corelli'* moat Important utterances are aa follow*: "One* wraith could net purchase *n entrance Into society: now tt Is the only Pess-ker.

But. alas, thla Mlsa CorelU of th* rosy hair la not true to her Ideals. It Is only a few days since she pounced fiercely soon the editor ot th* Gentle- woman for omitting to mention her name among those present at a func tion Including royalty and a few de- fpisc Last year a chair In Chinese was ea- tsbllehed at Columbia University, New York.

Augusta Herald; The present legisla ture eeema Inclined to think that the former bodies made no laws, Judging from the number of bills Introduce I so far. Rochelle New Era: If the legislature would past a law requiring every man to vote In his his own precinct, it would be doing a great act—for Wilcox county at least. Waycroaa Herald: The convict lease system Is to be again Investigated by the legislature. Let the convict be put on the public roads—that's what the Herald says. Quitman Free Press: The people of Savannah believe in living well and a Chatham representative haa already In troduced a blil for the protection of the summer duck. Rockmart State: The coal strike has been settled, and the Georgia legisla ture la In session. If that don't mean prosperity—and. the full dinner pall— what doei It mean? Maron County C'ltlten: We are ex pecting some good laws from the pres ent legislature, though we etlll Insist that every other year la often enough for that body to meet. Elberton Btat: The legislature would do well to pass a law requiring children attending the public schools to attend regularly unless detained by sickness or for some urgent cause. Oconee Enterprlae: There is no bet ter way to break an editor from the hahlt at giving advice to the legisla ture than to let him break Into that au gust body and servo a term. Pelham Journal: Now If the legisla ture will Just spare u* the time and let that dog law question alone, we will be filled with gratitude and with admi ration for their far-eightednete. Cuthbcrt Leader: It now appears that the convict question, the Australian ballot system and the uniform text book matter will be live Issues at the present session of the legislature. ■ Athena Banner: If the members I the general assembly take care of the work before them they will have little time to consider the great quantity ot newspaper advice that Is being offered free. Warrenton Clipper: As usual, the legislature Is flooded with new bills. One fellow la to hard pressed for a bill that he wants the tale of seed cotton between September I and December 1 to be lllegiLHM^^^^H Marietta Journal: If the legislature re stricts pensions to Indigent Confederate veterans and to widows, it will do what Is right. A veteran with good property- ought not to be willing to tax others to add to his Amerleus Times-RecorJer: Between the Atlanta depot bill and the numer ous city charters presented by opposing factions of Atlanta's citizens the Cap liul city will consume a very large por. tlon of ths present session of the legis lature. Telfair Enterprise: The Enterprise believes with the strongest kind of be lle! that the legislature of Georgia should pass a bill doing away with the present circuit method of superior courts and making the Judges and so ncltora rotate all over the state. Newnan News: About the first dls pute raised In the legislature was about the Atlanta carshed. If the state will house Its legislators at its terminal sta tion they will not be long about seeing that something betides talk and Inves tigating committees are necessary. Walton Tribune: There 1* no reason why the Georgia legislature ; should not enact the Australian ballot law. The white people of the state, as a rule, favor this law; and the legislature wilt be unfaithful to the duty It owes the people If It falls to enact tbit measure. Darien Gazette: Tills state should have n suitable exhibit at the World's Fair. St. Louis, and we therefore hope that th* legislature will make tn appro priation aultable for thla purpose. This will be a big card for old Georgia, and we hope ehe will make the most of It. Albnny Herald: Let the legislature pees Mr. Stovall's bill, by all means, and then the people of the balance of the state will see whether th* officers ot the law and the grand juries of Chat ham county will do their duty and bri bery In Democratic primaries In Savan nah Is stopped.
