M. Pnsteur’a Treatment.
Some disappointment is felt tbit another
hydrophobia patient should have died upon
M. Pasteur’s bands, and there are those who
regard the fact as conclusive of the failure
of bis widely advertised cure or preventive.
The fact is, nothing has been proved con
clusively by or against M. l’astenr's system
as applied to hnman beings.
It is held by the best informed medical
men and admitted by the Frenchman him
self that the bite of a mad dog does not
necessarily produce hydrophobia; that the
result of such a bite depends upon the na
ture and condition of the victim.
No man can say that Pjistour’s treatment
has yet saved a life, nor can his treatment
be accepted a* a defense against the dread
malady until a long trial followed by uni
versally satisfactory results has been had.
Rut on the other hand, nothing has been
proven against the system. Tbo first vic
tim that died wns received about three
weeks after the bite was inflicted. Mr.
Pasteur’s treatment was given him merely
to afford him a chance of life, and the re
sult was foretold. The second patient just
dead, received his wound from a mad wolf,
and it is held that the virus used in Mr.
Pasteur’s labratory is graded to check the
virus of the mad dog only, and that the
poison from a wild animal afflicted with the
rabies is far more malignant. It mast not
be forgotten though, that out of hundreds
of persons threatened with hydrophobia,
who have been treated, the only ones that
died, did not come within the conditions
upon which Mr. Pasteur promises a cure.
Capital Alarmed.
The New York Journal of Commerce, in
a thoughtful article upon the present labor
troubles, advances the assertion that the
country is suffering gTeat loss, beyond the
burning of bridges, the killing of engines
and the interruption of commercial traffic.
It contends that the menacing attitude of
the strikers in every section of tbo country
has hail the effect to stop enterprises and to
lockup capital that would otkerwiso ho
actively engaged in industrial enterprises.
In support of this it refers to n case within
iU own knowledge of a firm that had re
futed to take a large contract for the build
ing of steamships, for fear that after under
taking the contract, which would have given
honest and remunerative employment to
thousands of laborers, the whole thing
might be brought to a stand-still by
strikers. This is only one instunce out of
many that might he mentioned, for it has
been truly said, "nothing is more timid tlmn
a million dollars, except two millions."
Tho bead of the Knights of Labor is
quoted as saying that nine out of t.e ten
strikes are unwarranted. These nine un
justifiable strikes are inflicting great hard
ships on many innocent people, among
them women and children who aro depend
ent upon the idlers for their daily bread.
The Macon and Covington ltailroat).
There seems to be an impression abroad,
notably in the territory of the Macon and
Covington railroad, that the city of Macon
opposes and is unfriendly to the enterprise.
Wt do not know who is responsible for this
impression, bnt we do know that it hss no
proper cause for existence. Macon is en
tirely friendly to the Macon and Coving
ton road, has treated it liberally, and only
insisted that the officers shall carry out their
written promises. All differences that ex
isted have been satisfactorily adjusted, and
the fete of the road is entirely within the
hands of its projectors.
accessory before and afttr the fact.
This is a mere brutum fulmen, and only
voices the opinion of a partisan majority.
The Senate ba*s no power to punish either
Mr. Cleveland or his Attorney-General.
But during the conrsp of the trial Mr.
Cleveland, if the cuticle all over his body be
not as thick as that of lm neck, lias been
terribly punished, not by Senator Edmunds
and his gang, but by Democratic Senators,
who one after the other have openly ar
raigned him l*eforo the country for tho un
paralleled folly of attempting to ruu a Dem
ocratic administration with Republican spies
and informers.
The speeches are all finished, and Mr.
Cleveland and the Mugwumps can pro
ceed to dress their wounds. Perhaps the
Senate may find opportunity to address
itself to the public business. The Repub
beans were utterly overthrown in the argu
ment. The administration was downed by
the facts.
What next ? If the Republican Senators
shall proceed to reject Mr. Cleveland’s ap
pointments, much good will be done. A
fow good men may suffer, but the public
service cannot suffer from the rejection of
many bad ones. Even with deception and
imposition Mr. Cleveland cannot find
nnother lot as bad within the ranks of the
Democratic and Mugwump parties.
If he shall withdraw the bad appoint
ments je has made, which aro unacted
upon, and demand the resignation of the
rascals he has put id, he will commend him
self to the Democrats and to tho country.
Rut the Republicans will go right along con
tinuing the had and weak men whom he
has picked out for "public trusts” in order
to sliamo and burden tho Democratic party.

changed by a long and dreary debate in the
Senate, which lias emphasized tho fact, that

declare that be has acked hiA deputise to work ac

Crenshaw takes, but think it is not right for him to

gainst another Democrat, and that they intend to
ee If the department at Washington does not agree
with them. One of the points made is that Collec
tor Crenshaw himself has been going about the
State with Mr. Bacon.
Collector Crenshaw denies emphatically
that there are any grounds for the com
plaints referred to. Rut the average citi
zens will be struck with such a complaint
coming from the friends of n candidate,
who Las industriously used the power and
influence of a judicial officer, to promote
his political ambition. The friends of ft
Judge, elected aud paid by the people of
Georgia to preside in the courts of a stated
circuit, and who travels about the State
notoriously in the interest of his own can
didacy, should have small measure of com
plaint against Collector Crenshaw, if tho
changes made can be substantiated by
competent proof.
There can be no difference in the respon
sibility for sncli conduct in a Federal or a
State officer.
Since an appeal has been made to tho
authorities at Washington, the people would
do well to keep a sharp eye upon other Fed
eral officers whose appointments have been
secured by designing politicians. "The
sauce for tho goose should be sauce for the
gander” in this matter. We have been ap
prised that a prominent politician of
this State declared in Washington
when there was a hitch in
the appointment of a certain
Federal officer, that if it failed the combi
nation would be ruined. That everything
had been fixed for the applicant and his
deputies to render important political
Civil Service Reform.
In another column we give place to the
majority and minority reports upon the hill
to repeal the civil service reform law. It
will bo seen that Mr. Clements, onu of onr
representatives, marches right up to this
issue in an admirable report. We hope he
may be able to get the whole matter before
tho House on a fair issue, so that there can
he no dodgiug. The people of Goorgia de
sire to know just where tneir representa
tives stand, and Mr. Clements can do a
great service by bringing them to a recorded
vote.
If tho matter can ho reach* d in no other
way, not a dollar should be appropriated to
support the Civil Service Commission. It
has been sufficiently tried to exhibit the
fact that it is a miserable sham and hum
bug, in spirit and in its practical applica
tion.
The Democratic Senators have been out

starve tho bustard of the Mugwump and
Raritan to death. Will Mr. Clements re-
servo all points of order on tho Legislative

Public Educatlou.
Eiaron Telf.guaph: After reading sn account of
the public meeting In Augusta iu reference to the
lllair bill—which seek* to appropriate a vast turn of
money to public education, the writer met with one
of the flne-rt educulufM la the State, whose ability is
not excelled by his philanthropy, and drew out the
following on the subject: “If that bill pauses and
the South understands she is to then discontinue
her own endeavor* iu the matter of educating hor
children, it w ill he tho most dbas*troun thing that
ha* ever happened, not excepting the civil war. It
will virtually pauperize the State of Georgia.**
‘ That's » slioug expression," remarked your
correspondent.
••No Htrouger than truthful,'* was the reply.
"H*e the effect of State education on the colored
youths of thin country! One of tho keepers of the
State penitentiary raid last year that 7u per cent, of
tho convicts were educated colored youths, who had
been convicted of forgery, and the various crimes
that result from their acquired ability to trick suc
cessfully those more Ignorant or confiding than
themselves.
••Lot any man of average judgment look over the
present condition of things ami answer as to the
benefits or profits that such promiscuous education
has conferred on the colored race? When the old
set of negroes, or more properly the generation who
were subjected to discipliue aud taught to labor,
have passed away, where will you finds capable
servant ora reliable farm hand?"
‘•But," said I, “Col. John M. Davidson In his
Augusta speech attributed that result to tho fact
“that so few are educated. Wheu a boy in a family
is educated bo becomes a prodigy—a curiosity-
ami very naturally is spoiled, but educate every
member of the family aud they would no longer
cease to be curiosities."
• Well,” laughed my old friend, “I should never

ston's declaration that the latter has author
ity to close a contract witli Atiuuta for the
permanent location there of the Society's

that the committee of which Colonel Liv
ingston is a member was appointed only to
receive propositions from such cities as would
make them and report the same to the semi
annual meeting of the Society, to be held
next August. This, it is to he hoped, will
toko some of the wind out of the self-
important president, whose ridiculous posi
tions and extmvagant talk hid fair to react
injuriously upon the Society itself. The
information that Colonel Livingston is not

The Lust Resort of Employers.
Journal of Commerce.
No ipner on earth can compel a man to
ptibliiX a newspaper, run a rolling mill, or
work a coal mine at his loss or against his
wishes. It is fortunate that there is some
where a point beyond which trade unions
and legislatures are powerless. A man cm
die but once, and no human agency can
persecute him beyond this life. A man can
risk all hia property if lie pleases on the
issue r f aa encounter with strikers. It is
not often necessary to play a stake so high
and desperate. But if one boldly faces auch
a hazard he has i t least the satisfaction of
knowing that the game is closed. His an-
ta“<*nist cannot touch him further. A ship
building company tho other day refused a
$'2*25,OtMl contract for constructing two
steamers for the Hoboken Land Improve
ment Association on the express ground
that it is dangerous to undertake new and
expensive work at a time when strikes are
raging all over the country.
The long-headed shipbuilders know the
stuff of which trade unions are made. They
are perfectly well aware that if they should
assume a contract for building two first-
class ferry boats for $225,000, tho bare an
nouncement of that fact would cause the
trade unions to resolve to "jump” on them,
in the expressive language of strikers. The
leaders of those bodies would simply wait
until the work was well advanced. The
men in the shipyard would he quiet and ap
parently contented. The employers would
congratulate themselves on having such ex
cellent hands, and would take pleasure and
pride, we may suppose, in being able to
give steady work and good wages to ho many
men these hard times. Suddenly, like
thunderbolt out of a clear sky, would
come a demand tor fewer hours per day
at the same or increased wages, or for the
discharge of some favorite aud trusted fore
man who had been with the shipbuilding
company for twenty years. Or the com
pany might be called on to restore to place
and pay some man who had been discharged
for drunkenness and wns still in good and
regular standing with the Knights of Labor.
Or a strike might be threatened if the com
pany continued to employ more than one
apprentice to one hundred men, or did not
turn off a Hungarian or an Italian against
whom all the other men had bitter race
prejudices. Or the trouble might arise from
the fact that the company bought some of
its supplies from a firm which had incurred
the tkadlv enmity of the Knights and was
boycotted. In that case all the faithful
members of the Brotherhood must not han
dle, or in any way use, any implements or
articles produced by the firm under bun.
There are still other conditions under
which strikes may be sprung upon peaceable
employers. But those we have mentioned
are the kinds most likely to occur—when an
employer has been rash enough to take a
$225,(XK) contract and expose himself front
and rear to the assaults of labor unions.
Ami it ia not the strikers alone with whom
the unfortunate man has to deal. If news
papers are published in his town or villa;
the chances are ten to oue that to retain
their subscribers among this class they will
sympathize with the strikers in everything
they do short of actual robbery, arson or
murder. Besides mere personal, there are
also political consideration®. The editor®
are partisan politicians and are afraid of
offending the trade unions, which nre a
great power on election days. Or else they
aro trying desperately to increase the sales
of their papers, and find it more profitable
to sell 100 extra copies to the strikers than
one to the mnn who is struck.
And this is not all. The local officials—-
specially if they are of the alderman stripe
—may be counted almost to a man on the
Hide of the winkers. Just when the em
ployer is in the thickest of his troubles these
aldennen will pass resolutions declaring
that eight hours ought to he a day’s work
and iustcud of $2.50 a day’s wages; that
pauper labor ought not to bo introduced in
the United Kates, even in the form of n
single Hungarian, Italian or Chinese, etc.
Nor is the end yet. If— to crown all the
otlior misfortunes—tho State Legislature is
iu session, some demagogue will not miss
the glorious opportunity to flatter the
Knights And make friends and supporters of
them, lie will offer a resolution vindicat
ing the "rights of labor” to do nil it pro
poses. This may or may not bo adopted.
That is of no consequence. The whole ob
ject is gained by a reference to a committee
• to which the other demagogues of ull
parties gladly consent. There the resolu
tion may rest, with other trash, unless, in
deed, it is the genu of nn investigating com
mittee which subsequently travels all over
the State at an expense of thousands of
dollars to the taxpayers, and carrying terror
to employers wherever it goes. With such
odds against him it is no wonder that a uiau
declines contracts, since the effect of
accepting them would only be to precipitate
strikes which might bo rnnous to the best
planned enterprise*.
Where one instance--lik6 that of the ship
building company in question -is publicly
announced, there nre hnndreds of similar
cases never heard of outside of the parties
directly interested. At this moment there
are probably business ventures to the ex
tent of many millions of dollars which are
postponed indefinitely became the natural
risks involved in them have hceu vastly aug
mented bv the spring strikes. This Is one
way in which tne folly of tbe Knights of
Labor recoils upon themselves. It is also
a way which commands itself strongly to
employers who lack the nerve and resources
to contend against wanton strikers. In de
fault of better means it is not to bo
despised.

Wsshixotox, March 28.—The unfinished
business in tbe Senate for the morninghour
is Senator Logon's bill to increase the
efficiency of the army. At 2 o’clock to
morrow Senator Platt will call np the bill
to admit Washington Territory to the
family of States. Next to the two measures
mentioned the inter-sale commerce bill aud
the bankruptcy bill are booked for con
sideration. Senator Wilson will continue
hia watch for nn opportunity to try the
passage of the Dt-sMoines river settlers bill
over the President's veto.
In the llonse the friends of the educa
tion bill will seek sn open issue with its
opponents.
Sir. Willis will report the new education
bill under the coll of States oml move its
reference to some other than the education
committee. This committee lus nndeft-
nitriy pigeon-holed the Senate bill and all
similar measures now before it, and its
members are expected to resist any effort to
take this subject from its jurisdiction. The
result to-morrow is looked forward to oh a
test of the strength of the measure in tbe
House.
Of the fourteen regular appropriation
bills three have passed the House, namely,
the pension, the urgent deficiency and the
Indian bills.
The committee on ways and means will
probably call np lor consideration during
the turning hour this week tbe bill relating
to the eatabusbment of export tobacco fac
tories. The committee on hanking and
currency will endeavor to perfect and se
cure consideration for some measure to
guard against a contraction of the currency.
