It will be a long time before tho Republi can party again fools the negro. The negro of to-day ia far more suspicious than grate ful. Moreover, he considers his duty to wards the party more than settled. Butler M a iione, the rowdy son of Vir ginia’s little Republican candidate for the Kenatorship, paid a fine of $50 on Saturday last for assaulting an officer. He seems to be a representative Virginia scalawag. Ocb Legislative report of yesterday morn ing, has not been surpassed, by any similar ■work of the kind, in onr knowledge of Georgia journalism. The Telegraph keeps faith with its thousands of appreciative pat rons and readers. The nations of Enrope ought to stndy tho principle of the “no-fence law-." There is no more need for large standing armies than there is for standing fences, and as fences impoverish neighborhood so armies impoverish nations, The Rome Bnlletin mnkes this neat hit: “A fashion editor makes the startling an nouncement that ‘low-neck dreases will be dropped at the opera this Reason.' That's what aome of the old ladies feared would happen last season." Ir Mr. Cleveland desires to promote good government and real reform he will piny Democrat in Georgia before those immacu late statesmen and unselfish patriots Alfred Colquitt and Joseph Brown need the fedend patronage to use in the next guber natorial campaign. We fl id this in the Boston Record: “An other floody Outrage at the South! A Black Man Shot Down in Cold Blood! Arouse, Freemen! But hold on. The shooter is a Republican. The victim was a colored Democrat. On the whole, let ns consider State issues for a few momenta.” “It is better for the Republican party that Ex-Governor Moses shonld be in Mas- aachusetts State Prison than in the execu tive chair of South Carolina,” says the Providence Journal. Whereupon tho Bos ton Record remarks that “it ia better, too for the chair.” Well mnybe it is also bettor for Moses himself. 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 prompt payment of aufilclenUy large death In. alliance, the etandard of the service baa been per ceptibly raised, and it la aecuring a much more cfitcleut and deatrable claaa of labor, ahtlled and unskilled, and has. In some pieces, drawn tho best material from competitive worka and holda Ita force with lose difficulty and It la the bond of cloaar friendly relationship between employer end employe, and haa fostered a feeling that tbe Interests of both are Identical. It haa done away with all preteat fur joining organizations inimical to labor aa well aa with all Justification fur seeking 'charitable assist, ance from the company or from fellow employees. It Is the almost unanimous testimony of the rail road company's officlsls that It would now lie most difficult. If not Impoasthle, to inaugurate a general general strike among the members of tho aaeoci- Bath the Spriugtiolcl Republican: “They •ay in Georgia and Virginia that there ia no power that can force a State to pay its debta. Thia ia good law, but it ia not a fnll statement. There ia no power that can nuke moneyed men invent with any com' monwealth that will not pay iU debta.' And there eeema to be no power thnt can moke aome Northern editora undenttund that Georgia haa paid her debta and haa more credit than ahe poaaiblv can need. Ie reply to Senator Hoar'* statement, •'Throughout eixteen of our thirty-eight Stutea no man con hold an office, great or amall, who atood by hia country in ita time of peril,” the Boa ton Herald any*: “Throughout all of the thirty-eight States, under Republican rule, no Democrat who atood by hia country in ita time of peril, aa hnndreda of thounand* of them did, with the ahleat genemla in the army among them, could get an office, great or email. Thia waa the wider and more unjust pro scription, and Senator Hoar helped to en force it.” It begins to look as though the Utah jail* will contain more saint* than sinners. A Salt Lake apecial says of a late trial: Edward Brain was convicted to-day of unlawful euhabltatlon. The testimony showed that he drove away bta first wlfs when she grew old, separated from the others, who got divorcee from him, and now claimed a yonng Danish woman for hia wife After tbe verdict waa tendered be delivered a aer. moo to the court, claiming to know that the letter day gospel Is true; that his covenants with his wives wen by divine revelation.

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." Personal appeal to the managers of the company for pecuniary assistance in behalf of unfortunate employes on now nnknown In this service, sml this relief from solicitation has reacted favorably upon the morale of the force by inducing Independ- once and contentment Beeldee tbe many advan tages accruing to the company from tbe savings and building features, ts the Important one of converting a migratory force into a permanent one, which Is gradually locating Itself at pointe where tbe company's Interests will be subserved and protected. 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 farther obligation* tn Its behalf, which If capital ised* would amount to over a half million dollars, aud la contemplating attll further donattoua. Who did this good work? A great rail road. Who are the beneficiaries? The em plo.ves, and these are the people of Mary land, nnd other States the poor people, who 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 of hlv labor, and that not in advance. 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 armed himself with an army bayonet and declares thnt he will “stab" tbe railroad bill to dentb. As the bill is unarmed nt present, will not tbe Colonel hold on until it can step out and shoulder one of Joe Brown's war pikes? The Philadelphia Press says thnt Fitz- hngh Lee was nominated boenuso he was tho nephew of his uncle. Well, what of it? Bob Lincoln served as Secretary of War be cause ho was tho son of his father. Why can’t Fitz profit by family prestige, added to his personal merits? Breaking up opium joints kept l>y Chi nese is the work of police in Northom cities just now. The Legislature should not ad journ until it breaks up that one iu Atlanta into which the three Chiuamen inveigled tho good little hoy on n Sunday, according to the “special correspondent.” "Our Grover” cannot possibly get a sec ond term. Even if the Mugwumps were willing, he has committed nn unpardonable sin, not in fishing on a Sunday or playing penockle with Col. Dan Lnmont, but he has refused to kiss a gal baby. No politician can become n statesman who does not kiss all the babies he can lay his hands on. hardly corner Bed. the finest Maine has a man with the solemn name of Coffin. He is a boniface, and advertises his inn after this fashion: "The original and only Third-elnss Hotel iu Maine—where everything fails to snit—tough Beefsteak, dirty rooms, useless Servants, debilitated Coffee. This House, of world-wide bad reputation, is owued, occupied and pre sided over by the laziest man in the State. Satisfaction not guaranteed; no moneyre- funded. Dilupitated Stable in connection. Everything warranted strictly shoddy.” 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. People living in pine forests' are said to have immunity from climatic and conta gions diseases, and singers have found their influence beneficial to the voice. So says the Medical World. 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 aa a reward for their 1-art tn the work of remedying Injilattce by fraud tn the count of ls7fi. A Republi can Supreme Conn amended the civil rights act, sc that the protection of citizens waa left to the Htatee, every one of which at the South baa lieen Demo cratic, save Virginia for a single term, since that year. And the last lie publican President stalwart though he was, never so much as alluded to tbe Southern question, or lifted hia Auger to tnterfera with local self-government In that acetiou during his entire term. if the condition of the South and tha relations of the race* have Improved during the laat eight yean, as nobody will deny Is the case. It cannot be cred ited to "Republican rule.” The claim that tbe hlacka have done the greater part of the labor Is, in the main, correct; bnt if they were oppressed, maltreated and deprived of their rlghta, aa the lie- publicans assume that they have been, U la mani fest that no snch crops would have lioen produced.
