THE MACON WEEKLY TELEGRAPH: TUESDAY, OCTOBER 6,1885 THE MASSACHUSETTS ECHO. SENATOR HOAR AT THE REPUBLI CAN CONVENTION. ji Repetition ot John Sherman's Ohio Speeches—The Wrong;* of tin* Negro - 3Iu*t 1» Itedressed—Platform Adopted—C.'amllilntcH. Springfield, Mass., September 30.—The Republican Shite convention made the fol lowing nominations; Governor Robinson van renominated for Governor, Oliver Ames for Lieutenant Governor, and Hon. Henry p pierce for secretary of state by accaum- tion. Hon. A. W. Beard, of Boston, was nominated for State Treasurer ami Receiver- General. Hon. Charles R. Ladd was re nominated for Auditor, ami Edgar L. Sher man for Attorney-General. All received a unanimous vote. Senator Hoar, who was permanent chair man, made a long address on the issues of the day, taking practically the same viewy of Southern questions as Senator Sherman, fit* denied that the Republican party or any person to whom it lmd given its confidence had any hatred for the South, or would seek to keep alive any sectional feeling, and sta ted that the better element at the South was already beginning to realize this. He said: Her people now gratefully acknowledge the noble clemency and magnanimity of Grant, but in all of it Grant wa* fully sustained and supported by the Kipublican party. We have l>een touched by the sympathy for the old warrior of the men whom he conquered* but la it too much to aay that the hand which ha* clasped that ot the dying Gnnt baa given and has taken too much honor ever thereafter to stuff a ballot-box or ahoot a voter? Spcuking of the administmtion of Presi dent Cleveland, Senator Hoar said: I would apeak with all personal kindness of the President 1 like some things his administration has done, especially* its firmness and courage in protecting the rights of tho Indians. In the uaiim of the whole manhood of the country I would call -upon the executive to suppress and punish with the strongest baud tho outrages, committed and threat ened. against inoffensive Chinese, and assure him that in such case he will have the fullest supimrt of the people of Massachusetts, without disUuction of 1 In speaking of the President's civil service policjfctlie speaker said: I do nut know what revised version some of our modern reforming friends may adopt, but I can scarcely think of a better illustration of the parable of the laborer who said. “1 go. air." and went not, than an administration which says, “civil service reform.should be in good faith carried out,” and makes Illggius, of Maryland, its appointment clerk. Tlie platform adopted demands the sus pension of the silver dollar coinage, the suppression of polygamy, indorses the civil service act, and continues as follow s: r great soldier and patriot, and as Republicans wo wish for a complete and perfect reconciliation between the sections. To have such a reconciliation the results of the war must be accepted everywhere in good faith. One result has not been accepted; the negro, enfranchised by the war, is largely de prived of his privileges as a voter. In certain States elections are a mockery, the returns are fraudulent and the voting is a farce. If we were to 1ms silent as to the crying evil, we should be false to all traditions and principles of our party, as well as to those of the American govern ment and American freedom. Against this great wrong. so dangerous and so un-American, and maintained by successive Dein ocratic majorities in the House of Representatives, we propose to agitate and to protest. We appeal again to public opinion, both North and Houth. We shall seek redress iu an aroused public con science and in proper legislation. We shall not be conteut until the wrong is crushed and Jnatico done. As one specific A WELL-ARMED THIEF. Desperate Attempt to Kill the Arresting Officers. Marietta, Ga..

It cre ated suspicion, and Marshal Stephens and Sheriff Coryell followed him to Atlanta and aiTested him there. From sympathy for his wrife, wrho was along, they turned him loose. He said he was going to Greenville, 8. C., hut they watched him, and he hoarded tho Georgia Pacific train. 'They followed, and when the train stopped at Simpson street, one man went in one end of tho car and one in the >ther. Mr. Ste- E liens found him first in the closet. When e opened the door the fellow drew' a pistol and pointed at Stephens's breast. It w'as only by quick work and many licks that he kept him from shooting him. Coryell ar rived and they disarmed the fellow. On the way to the station house, he drew a knife and attempted to cut them. He was relieved of that, and also of a razor which was found on him. He will he held in At lanta on the charge of assault until it can he found from whom the horse was stolen.

A very largo crowd left here to-night on the 6:26 train to attend the Republican meeting at Alexandria. Among the passen gers were John 8. Wise, the Republican candidate for Governor of Virginia, who was to address the meeting, and John Am bler Smith, a claim agent of this city and formerly memlier of Congress from the Richmond district. For some time jpast there has been a hitter feeling between these two gentlemen. They occupied adjoin ing seats in tho smoking-car. When about two miles from Alexandria they became involved in a wrangle in which Smith called hint a liar He had no sooner uttered the word thnn he received n stinging blow in the month from Wise, that drew blood and knocked him down. Wise followed np the attack, bnt the crowd interfered and stopped the row. When Alexandria was reached Wise went to Armory Hall, where the meeting waa being held.

Y„ October 1.—The em ployee of the Union Stove Works, of this city, who have been ont on a strike for a week, bain returned to work at the old terms. The strike was for a restoration of the 16 per cent, reduction which was marie s few months ago. Tlie proprietors, at a conference with the strikers, demonstrated to them that they cookl not afford to restore the old wages. Wr, the undersigned. member* of tlie committee on railroads, to which waa referred Senate bill No 14, proposing amendment* to the railroad eommia «ion law, being flrmljr convinced that thcjtfl ahould uot paaa, beg leave to submit the follovSg report: v We consider the bill unconstitutional. ^practica ble Ut itr. provision*, expensive in ita operation*, and dangerous to the rights grnranteed the people in tlie fundamental law of the Htate. The hill, in substance, take* from the commiaaion tlie power to make just and reasonable rate*, and give* it to the railroad*; any i>eriion, town, city or corporation affected by tho rate* may make com plaint in writing fo tho couiinistdon, distinctly net ting forth the objections to the rate* claimed to be unjust and unreasonable, and stating the rate claiiyed to \te just and reasonable; if the control*- ■loner*, upon a hearing of the caae made by tho pleadings, shall adjudge the rate unjust and un- reasonable, they shall fix a Just rate; from thin de rision an appeal may be had to a Jury, and from it* verdict to the Hupreme Court; pending the appeal, the rate of the comraiMtionem shall pre vail: the final judgment shall be n precedent to the court*, and no more appeals shall be allowed lu similar cases. Iu our opinion the bill violates the constitution and ita spirit, which it la made our highest and su preme obligation to obey. First, because iu the creation of an appeal it confers upon the court* the power to fix the rates, and tints transfers from the legislative to the judicial department of the govern ment a power the posaession aud exercise of which is in unmistakable language conferred upon tlie General Assembly. Secondly, because it gives to the railroads the power to make their own rates, and supersede* the authority of the Geueral Assembly, now lodged in the commission as ita agent, to inter fere therewith, except upon complaint The second section of articlen 4th of the consti tution declares: “The power and authority of regu lating railrord freight* and iswxenger tariffs, pre venting unjust discriminations and requiring reas onable and just rates of freight aud passenger tar iffs are hereby confined to the General Assembly, whose duty it shall bo to pass laws from time to time to regulate freight* and passenger tariffs, to prohibit unjust discrimination ou the various rail road* iu this htate. and to prohibit said roads from charging other than just aud n*a*onabp» rates and enforce the name by adequate penalties." The pow er to declare what is just and reasonable is confer red ou the Geueral Assembly. It ia beyoud the pow er of words to delegate it more clearly. It defies criticism. This provision of the bill is also sternly confront ed by paragraph VI, section 1. Article 1st of tho same instrument, which declares: The legislative, judicial aud executive power* shall forever remain separate aud distiuct, and uo person discharging the dtitiea of one shall at the same time exercise the functions of cither of the other,*|excopt as herein provided. The hill proposes to confer a power, a duty, de clared by the Constitution to l»e legislative upou the judicial department of the Htate. To this argument we beg leave to add tho weight of authority. !u the Tilley case, where the Rail road Commission law was tested to the uttermost. Justice Woods construed these two section^ hi ther, and in reference to section second, art. h, uses the following language: “Uow delegation of power to declare what is just aud reasonable could tie and explicit it is difficult not conferred on the courts; the railroad companies have no part or lot in the decision of the question, but the constitution declares “It is hereby con ferred on the General Assembly." That court and our own Hupreme Court, in cases made to test this very law. have sustained the constitutionality aud wisdom of the act of October 14th, 1M7V, creating the commission and delegating to it this power. Therefore, to authorize the courts to declare what is just and reasonable is to do wh%t is expressly for bidden by the constitution. The same argument and authority sustain the second objection. To give to the railroad* this power i* to take it from the General Assembly, where it wa* absolutely and irrevocably lodged. To give it to the railroad* is to place it in the very hands where the maker* of the consti tution found it, from which they designed to take it, to which they never desigued it should be re turned. To prohibit, as this bill does, any interfer ence by the General Assembly, or its agents, with the rates, except upon complaint, la to erect a bar rier between the rates and the exercise of the power coufered upon the General Assembly. To do this is to defeat the letter and the spirit of the constitution, whose purpose it waa to confer on the Ocneral As sembly, for the protection of the people, this power over the rates, absolutely, unconditionally, inde pendent of any complaint, petition or appeal. Believing this to be the proper construction of the constitution, under our sol< •mu obligation to obey it. we feel compelled to protest against the ■■■■ of this bill. The object of the constitution waa to protect the people from evils and oppression by conferring on the General Assembly a constant, continnou* and “from time to time" supervision and control of the rates. Tho bill proposes to protect the people from un just rates by allowing an appeal to the commission aud thence to the courts. One or two result* must attend the practical operation of the law. The large class of consumers on whom the burden always falls will either make complaint, or submit to the iuen-ase of rates. The ■mallncM of tho amount extorted from each individ ual will not authorize the employment of counsel or the loas of time incideut to litigation. But If the people, in the energy of despair, should resolve to contest the justness and reaaonablenesa of the rates fixed by the roads, it Is fair to prewume from the dissatisfaction manifested by the roads with the rates fixed by the commissioners, that their will be a]>pral* from their decisions. It is legitimate to ask who will represent the citizens before the courts? Who will present the proof to rebut the evidence peculiarly in the posse—ion of the railroads touching the rates? Who will make out for the citizen his case, necessarily complicated, the de termination of a single rate Involving a considera tion of all the various elements entering into the operations of a railroad? (Competent and skilled counsel must be employed to insure an intelligent presentation of his caae, the expense of which will often exceed gn-ativ the amount involved, and most frequently work a denial of justice. In addition to this expense of the individual. Incurred in the as sertion of his rights, any and all court expenses in cident to an adjudication of these appeals roust be Isirne by the county treasury^, po which the railroads contribute nothing by taxation. But if. on the other hand, the people submit, they will practically occupy the same position they did before the creation of the commission—the rates fixed by the roads, the amount extorted too small to authorize litigation, but tho aggregate thus levied upon the people amounting to immense sums. In our opinion the cumbersome machinery of the bill will aid the railroads iu tho collection of the rates fixed by them, however nnjnst and unreason- aide. Ho that either of the two result*—the expense incurred in the assertion of bis right* in the first in stance, or the submission and payment of the rate in the last instance—will defeat the object of the law. which waa to protect the people afainet lose from unjust and unreasonable rate*. We call special attention to the following provi sion: “Provided, that when an application ha* been made to the courts, and the caae ha* been decided by the Hupcrior Court then the did To j in such case shall be regarded a* a precedent by the court* of this Htate, and no appeal shall be allowed on similar cases to the courts." If by error of Judg ment collusion or otherwise, the rate is fixed so as to oppress the people, the citizen ia prohibited by the terms of the bill from ever setting aside this Judgment, but the same inures to the perpetual benefit of the railroads. It is a precedent to the courts and estops the citizen. But if the rate adjudged by the courts does not meet the approval of the railroads under the terms of the bill, authorizing the “rail road companies from time to time, and aa often as circumstances may require," to "change and revise said schedules," they have it in their power, being made the judge* of the sufficiency of the circum stances, to nullify the results obtained by the citi zen after protracted and costly litigation, and evade the Judgment of the court by a simple change of schedules, which is the exercise of a discretion con ferred upon them by the bill. Against this glaring and dangerous privilege in favor of the railroads and against the citizen, we en ter our solemn and earnest protest For these and other reasons, after a careful con sideration of the whole matter, we deem the pro posed legislation unwise, dangerous, unconstitu tional.

T. Loruev. W. M. Hawke* W. U. Butt, J. A. HirWAKT, Willi. l'amrox, Chicaoo, October 1.—Tho New York gi- nnta went down before the proweH* of the Chicago chib again today. .While there were errora committed, they.Were ehared very evenly by both clubs, nnd the defeat of the visitor* wiui more complete than the two preceding. Their famous bntamen made only two Lita daring the game, and for a total of only three base*, while the Chicagoea batted Welch for a total of ten buses. The ChicogoK made their dis play of batting atrength in tlie ninth inning, when the acore atood 4 to 3 in their favor, with New York, however, to follow them nt the hat. The Chicagoa piled fonr run* up, deciding the conteat beyond pemdventure. During the progreas of this inning the audi ence, which had been kept, up to thia time, in a state of feveriah doubt, on Dalrymple making a clean drive into right Hold, ena bling two men to crosa the home plate, broke into thnnderou* cheering, the conta gion apparently reaching to every one pres- ent nave the immediate anpportera of the New York nine, and even some of theae appeared to catch the infection. It caused the playing to cease torn moment, Mature men tnrew their hats in the air nnd shook hands and fell into tlie arms of per sons unknown to them. Some one ran up the championship pennant fur 1885. nnd there was another scene of cboering. It seemed for the first time to affect the steady nerve* of the New York fielders, who hrnl shown themselves throughout, ns did their antagonists, impervious to any of tho in fluences which surrounded them. A study of tho score shows that in to-day's game the visitors were defeated nt all points, nnd on neither side wns a unestion raised oa to any of the decision* of the umpire. Tlie attendance, notwithstanding the extraordi nary day, waa ten thouaand. Roth ninea were heartily cheered na they appeared on the ground*, nnd every good play throngh- ont the gnmo was applauded. Chicago lost the toss and was sent to tho hat. The first three bntamen hit the hall, hnt were fielded out. For New York O'Ronrke waa given ilia base on balls, but tho next man at the hat went out on flies to outfield, and the third man, Gillespie, waa caught out by Anson. In the second inning Anson wont to the hi t for Chicago and went ont on a fly to O Rourko. l'fcffer mnde a base hit. Will- inmson struck ont. Rnrna reached first on a fumble by Ward anil stole second. Me- Cormick hit tho ball to Gerhard, who miss ed it, letting l’feffcr nnd Burns score. The nest mnn went out nt first.

A newspaper paragraph on professional wine tasters wo* shown to editor B. F Clay ton, formerly of the Wine and Fruit Grower, with the request that lie would tell something of their qualifications. Ho said: "There nre no profe*sionnl wine tasters in this country. Hero every dealer is his own taster. In France there are wine called brokers, who regularly test the wino in the cellars there, nnd classify them according to their qnalitics. Tlie dictum of these gentlemen is the law of the "But although there is no elsss here who haYe gnch an occupation, or even an occu pation allied to that of the gentlemen who ■it around tables down town, and look at and smell of tea in little cups, there are good expert judges of wine among tlie dealers. To become an expert a man must add years of expericace to n naturally fine sense of smell nnd taste. He must'also he able to see well. There is o certain rontine through which ex pert* pass in tasting wines, but u knowledge of the routine will not make a man an ex pert by any means. "When a list of wines is to he submitted to a denier he will usually select thin glass goblets to hold the samples. It is asserted by some that the taste of the wine variea with the thickness of the ; ’ . Dm glam should be perfectly pure aud tho lines of the goblet parallel. In a goblet it is impos sible for the color of the stand on which tho goblet is placed to affect the color of the wine. The French use a silver sancer in testing the color of wine. In using the goblet we hold it before a can dle in a dark room to determine the brightness of the wine. Good wine of the proper age is called candle bright. If tho wine is clndy or druggy it ia ont of condition, but mnv he clarified. Then the goblet of wine is held between tlie eyo nnd the window in dnylight to determine the degree of color, whether it is faint or deep, nnd also the quality of the color. Thus pure port wine, when held up to tho light, shows a bronze red color. If it bo pink it indicates bad grapea or fnscine, or ndnl- tcrants of somo kind. If claret show a blno color, or the color of blackberry juice, ob jection is mnde to it. There is ono kind of grape, tho Lenoir, that makes a very excel lent claret except for this bluish color. "Having found the color all right, the ex pert next smells of the wine. It is impos sible to describe the pecnliar aromas of dif ferent wines, hut by many comparison* tho nose becomes so well educated that Homo become* *o well educated that some experts can toll very nearly the age of the wino submitted to them, tho kind of grapes from which it was made, nnd whether it is a pure sample of one kind of wine or one wine blended with another. "Last at nil the expert takes a sip of tho wine, retains it a moment in his mouth to get the first Itaste, nnd then ejecta it and holds his month ojien for n moment to get the after-taste, or what i» technically called the ‘farewell.’ Tho farewell taste i* the crucial teat. Wine may be bright, it may have the right quantity of color, it may liave the smell desired, it mny even have a rich, luscious taste when taken in the month, and yet tho farewell be un pleasant Wines mny be doctored until tho ordinary purchaser may think ho hns an an cient brand of the purest vintage, hnt they hnve never yet been blended or dragged so nicely that the expert cannot tell that they are not pure, nor does an inferior wino ox- ist that cannot he properly classified by nn expert."
