How a Monster Crushes the l‘oor lVople.
To-day the pending railroad bill will face
its fate in the Georgia Legislature. It is to
bo hoped that the representatives of the
people will perform their duty with dignily
and in good conscience. Every Georgian is
interested in the result of a victory for tho
measure, and must suffer from its defeat.
It is no contest between rival parties for the
supremacy of n policy, but the people of
Georgia ask their representatives to do the
best for tbe general welfare and advance
ment. Tbe argument on the question
is exhausted. Let us hope that
tbe voice of the demagogue lias been
silenced. In place of being soulless mon
sters to crush out the substance and heart
of the people, railroads are just the opposite,
Let us take an illustration. The Baltimore
and Ohio railroad is one of the great com
panies of the country.^What would Balti
more he without it? What would be tbe
condition of the territory it covers, if the
scream of its locomotives should be silenced
and the roar of the wheels he hushed?
This great road has established a technolo
gical school for the children of its em
ployes, in which they nre educated
in all of the details connected
withthe road audits machinery, Upon
graduation, they are furnished with employ
ment, nt good wages. It has gone a step
further, and a long step. It has established
n free circulating library, chosen with
special reference to the taste and needs of
tho employes, and containing scientific
books suitable to tbe requirements of engin
eers, master mechanics, etc., tho library also
furnishing, nt large discount from current
rates, text books nndj stationery if desired.
Bemling-rooms are established nt several of
tho principal stations, well lighted and
heated, and furnished with periodicals, in
which the employes may assemble for study
or social intercourse. Savings hanks, the
depositories of which nre stationed
nt short intervals of twenty miles
along the road for the convenience of
employes, where they may innke deposits
on which they are paid a libend interest,
besides being allowed a participation in
profits, have besides a special feature which
is called the building department, by which
loans are mnde to employes nt moderate in
terest to help them in buildftig houses and
making homes for themselves. In connec
tion with this the operative* have further
more the benefit of the company's regular
legal counsel in searching titles and convey
ances at greatly reduced rates. They are,
moreover, allowed to purchase building
materials at large discount through the
eonqiany's contracts with wholesale dealers,
and have, besides, reduced rates of trans
portation for the some.
Snch are some of the principal features of
a remarkable system, a system which, but
that it has been tried and proved, might
seem utopian. As it is, we reud without
Rnrprise that, whereas, like other large
companies, the Baltimore and Ohio formerly
expended large sums in settlement of their
numerous claim for dnmngcH for injuries,
etc., since 1881) has not hnd a dozen suits
of the kind.
What are the results of this? Dr. Bar
nard, who hns examined into the mntter,
says:
Through the system of medical examination of
applicants, through the improved aaultary condi
tion of ita ahopa, through the runaldcmtlon and
care and compensation of employes when disable
ment necesaltatea cessation front labor, and through

The appointment of Dr. Curryminia-
ter Spain ia by far the beat yet made
by Mr. Cleveland's administration. Mr.
Curry ia a Georgian by birth, but represent
ed Alabama in the Congress of the United
States and that of tbe Confederacy. He is
a scholarly man with large experience as a
publicUt and preacher, and of courtly
manne-ra.
Hia removal front the country just now
will be plcnannt and instructive to him and
advantageous to the public service.
Furthermore, this will remove a moat pow
erful and'nctive supporter of the idea that
it ia tbe duty of the government to educate
ovorybody.'regardleag of race or previous
condition.
Mr. Curry has aired his views ar.d his vo
cabulary in Georgia on thia subject.
The first time was at the period when
Railroad Commissioner Barnett hnd issued
his report suggesting that the commission
should open a school of bookkeeping, aud
should be endowed by tbe Legislature with
tho powers of tax collectors and assessors.
In his address to the Georgia Legislature
Mr. Curry pronounced this document “the
finest State paper of the nineteenth cen
tury.”
No wonder that the commission has been
grasping and aggressive from that da,, to
this, and that the people have bad to fight
inch by inch to wrest buck tbe power un
wisely granted to it.
"Juts'," as he is familiarly called, did not
mean what he said, but be was making an
educational speech for Gns Orr, an old
classmate, and desired to give Sant Barnett,
another old friend, a little taffy. The turn
ing of thnt rhetorical and complimentary
period has cost Georgia money enough to
give every negro in the State* a finished
education.
However, Mr. Curry is n brave, learned
and honest man, who bears his yenrs well,
and will reflect great credit upon this
country at one of the oldest courts in Eu
rope.
DespitAhe ravings nnd railings of John
Sherman nnd Senator Hoar, it looks as
though the country is reconciled when
snch an appointment can be made.
The .School of Technology*
The action of the Senate on yesterday, in
passing tbe House bill for the establishment
of a school of technology, will be gratefully
received by tlio people, nnd will advance the
credit of Georgia ns an enterprising State.
The eloquence of Senntor Carlton, togeth
er with his personal and official influence,
hnd well-nigh created n fatal delay, for it
hnd become nn assured fnct thnt this meas
ure would be adopted sooner or later.
This is only the initial step. It cannot
be expected that a fully equipped school
will be at once thrown open to tho yonth of
the State, but everyone now must
unite to remove tbe difficulties
tho way. Thcro should be no bickering,
quarreling or combining as to a site. In
tbis selection the interests of the school it
self shonld be considered ns above the
clnims of any locality. In the meantime
tbe Legislature should be cougratuluted
thnt it has made a mark for itself that will
become more nnd more conspicuous with
years.
"Toninlis aud Hunker Hill."
General Bobert Toombs will die wttliont having
called tho roll of bis slaves at the foot of Hunker
Hill monument.
But he has lived to see Bunker Hill ideas domi
nate this eimntry. and convert hts own Gcoruta luto
the Empire State of the South.—Boston Kecord.
Toombs never Raid he would call his slave-
roll at the foot of Bunker Hill monument;
nor has he “lived to see Bunker Hill ideas
dominate this country and convert his own
Georgia into theEmpireStateof the South.”
Georgia won the Empire State of the South
long before the war; and a* for the Bunker
Hill ideas—well, baked beans so far is more
of an experiment in this section than a
dominating fashion.
What Toombs did say was, that the Bos
ton people were the only people who ever
erected a monument to their defeat.
Information is wanted iu New York by
James C. Jewett, of No. 27 William street,
of Michael Murphy aud his wife or their
heirs. Murphy and his wife were passen
gers on board the ship Adriatic, of tbe
Morgan line, which, leaving Loudon for
New Y'ork in lBtifl, was captured by tlio Con
federate cruiser TaUabassee. Murpltv was
a carpenter, and he or bis heirs have money
coming to them.
The New Orleans Picayune is alarmed nt
the deterioration of cotton seed, for the de
mands of oil mills and the carelessness of
plant ere. It says: “Hence we urge upon
our friends in the country to select their
seed, with a view to ita yield, staple aud
hardihood, aud not take ut hap-hazard ns
seems to be the case at present—and we
again ask the country press to take tip the
matter and agitate it.”
The public will be pleased to learn that
the sudden faint of J ustice Bbindford on
tbe Supreme bench was not nt all serious.
He was overcome by a large dose of quinine
taken to relieve a cold. The Justice has
acquired uew sanitary notions since going
to Atlanta. AVe recall that in the better
days of tbe commonwealth, he
resorted with success to the homely but
efficacious remedy— n pill composed of tar
and brown sugar. Adulterated qniuine only
assists the mephitic athmosphere of the
Georgia cnpitol.
Speaking of appropriations, tlie Philadel
phia Times says: “Instead of dealing fairly
and frankly with Congress, ns the law in
tends nnd good sense would suggest, the
bends of departments ltnve asked for much
greater sums than the service needed or
than could be safely nutl economically
tised.” Tbis is true. A Republican cabinet
officer once told the writer that it was a
custom to give n Democratic House a wide
margin for cutting down. There is danger
thnt reform and economy may be curried
too far. Tbe country is very large and is
still growing, nnd it takes much cash to rnu
it squarely and fairly,
A telegram front Buffalo, N. Y. describes
an ingenious invention of n physician
whereby n sufferer has been restored to
health nnd tlie use of his faculties: “An old
physician of that place who hull lost his
windpipe nnd larynx by cancer now brenthes
freely through a silver tube which Dr. Ros
well Park inserted in his throat. He is
over K0 yenrs of age and the disense had de
prived him of windpipe, larynx nnd the
power of speech. He is now able to nrtieu-
latc sufficiently well to bo easily under
stood. His tone of voice, however, is
always tho same, as it is produced by a reed
which is fixed in tlio end of the silver wind
pipe. It required six weckR of experiment
ing for the Burgeon to nchieve this result
nnd to fit the tube exactly to its place."

In brief, the beet poeelble testimony of the good
attained lies In tbe fact that on the results of twe
years' trial of the plan such a conservative corpora
tion aa the Baltimore end Ohio company undertook

Who did this good work? A great rail
road. Who are the beneficiaries? The em
plo.ves, and these are the people of Mary

have to work tiny by day for a living.
Conld tbis rood have accomplished this
great and good work if it hail lieen saddled
with a railroad commission of unlimited
powers to embarrass its workings and to cut
down ita rates ?
But n little while since, nnd this road be
gan to reach for trado and travel toward
New York. When it approached Uhilad
phut it was met with the spirit that has
been displayed by Dr. Felton and
hia followers in the Georgia Legislature,
but good counsels and good sense prevailed,
and noon tbe public will enjoy the results of
competition. Georgia is very far
behind Maryland and Pennsylvania,
as far behind as her railroads
are behind the Baltimore ami Ohio, but
the day may come, it will come, when the
example of this road will be foUowed. But
it will never come until the narrow and
little spirit ia cruahad out of the Georgia
Legislature, aud until the State shall en
courage rather than oppress the great en
terprise upon which her future growth
and power depend.
Tbe earth owes a man exactly the value

business at that. So one by one thiH ring
of duelists came to the conclusion that ou
account of their wives and children it would
not be proper for them to resort to tlie
code any longer, until, as Mr. McCarty says
in his card to-day, “the lady superintendent
of a female institute is a dangerous charac
ter compared with even the chief of the
gang." A distinguished Democrat of Vir
ginia, brought up iu recognition of tlio
'code," but who abandoned it two decodes
since, said this evening that Mr. McCarty
deserved public praise for tho breaking up
of tlie brng and bluff tactics by which these
carpet knighta of the Mnhone faction hod
bulldozed a whole State."
It appears that Colonel Adderton lias

A New Industry.
Messrs. N. R. Winsbip nnd E. D. Scho
field left last night for ,New York city, to
purchase machines and stock, and make ar
rangements for opening np a new industry
in Macon. They propose, ns soon as possi
ble, to begin the mnnufactnre hero of cheap
clothing for the Southern market. Begin
ning with twenty-five nr thirty machines
and nn equal number of hands, they will in
crease force and equipments os their suc
cess demands.
This branch of business has hitherto lieen
given over almost entirely to Northern
houses. Vast quantities of readymsde
clothing nre nnnnnlly sold in the Southern
States nnd fortnu s made in the business.
There is no reason why two snch energetic
aud experienced young business men shonld
not build up here in this line a valuable
trade. Macon needs just such manufac
tures to give employment to the idle and
ndtl character nnd stability to the city. The
Telegraph wishes abundant success to the
new firm.

Disceshing the statement thnt the South's
prosperity began under Republican rnle, the
Boston Herald says:
The restoration of peace sml prosperity at the
South bettan with the end of Republican rule in that
section, in 1H77. Before that time political, social
and Industrial chaos prevailed there. Tbe negroes
were the dujies of Republican adventurers, and fre.
quently the vlctlma of lawlesa violence at the bands
of ruffianly whltea. Enterprise was paralyzed by tbe
disorder and lack of confidence which prevailed.
With tbe downfall of carpet-bag government*, which
occurred when President Hayes carried out the pel*
Icy Inaugurated by GnuL of withdrawing the Fed
eral bayonets, matters began to mend, and they
have continued to Improve ever since. The only
''Republican rule" left in the South was the admin
istration of the federal offices by the tools appointed

Injilattce by fraud tn the count of ls7fi. A Republi

if the condition of the South and tha relations of
