Mb. Gbidy, while unbosoming himself
to a New York reporter, confessed that At
lanta had been hurt by prohibition, and
that Georgia was likely to be afflicted with
General Gordon for the next ten years.
It cannot be called poetic or retributive
justice, bnt it is a singular and horrible fact,
that as' the first volunteer attack upon the
reputation of Miss Little, the victim of
Moore, came from a man in llryau county,
before a week had passed a white girl of
that county had been violated and mutilated
by a negro brute. The brave men engaged
in blacking the character of Mamie Little
can turn their attention to the poor ruined
girl of Bryan county.
Iowa has turned up a weather prophet
who predicts a change in the weather
shortly. Professor Foster predicts that
one of the greatest storm periods of 188G
will begin on August 16th and continue till
the 2Gth, during which the great drought
will be completely broken by heavy rains,
hail and tornadoes and heavy gales; a trop
ical hurricane on the. southeast Atlantic
coast between the lGth and 20tb. These
storms will be general, nnd Iowa, Illinois,
New England States, Eastern Canada and
Labrador will be in the danger path; vivid
sun spots from the 18th to 24th; brilliant
aarorss on the 20th and 23d. I
A Crime and It* Expiation,
For several days past the people of this
city and the surrounding country have
been fearfully wrought np over the details
of an atrocious crime.
It is unnecessary to reprint them here,
as they have already appeared from time
to time in onr local columns. While
mast he a matter of profound regret to
all lovers of peaes and good order that
this crime has been expiated by sum
mary violence, it is due to our people to
record the fact that the provocation had
gone beyond the point of endurance.
It was enough to boil the blood of tfie
coolest citizen to know, that a stranger, a
young girl, an orphan and defenseless, had
been brutally outraged.
A citizens' meeting of large proportions
and of representative character had done
all that could be done to allay popular ex
citement. If there bad been a prompt ac
quiescence in the conclusions of this as
sembly by all classes of citizens, the due
eonrae of law might have been awaited even
by those who were skeptical as to its com
ing at the proper time and in the proper
shape.
One mob had been qnietedby the temper
ate speeches and cooler counsels of leading
citizens, when it was developed that a sys
tematic effort was being made to prepare a
defence of the brute whose life has been for
feited.
As nsnal in such cases, an attempt was
being made to smirch ihe character of tin
poor victim, whose life seemed to hang in a
balance'from her injuries.
Cowardly men can be found to retail sus
picions and scandals of any woman, who
Another “Solution.”
Among the many solutions of the South
ern problem furnished the press by politi
cal economists and statesmen of more or
less note throughout the country, is one
from Texas, which we find in the columns
of the Globe-Democrat The plan suggest
ed by this writer is expressed with rhetori
cal dash, bristles with historical allusions,
and is adorned with quotations from many
noted authors. Thirf is perhaps
the best that can be said of it,
unless perhaps we eredit him with
a tolerably fair statement of the situation.
It fails utterly in the remedy.
The plan suggested to rid the South of
the negro is colonization, and Mexico is
chosen, that portion selected lying npon
the Gnlf between the Rio Grande and the
Chagres river. We note this plan in par
ticular because there is all over the South
many people who have a dim idea that some
day in some way the negro will be taken
bodily from their midst and the country be
left to a blisafnl ropcse.
The correspondent argues that the country
would suit the negro and the negro the
country; that he is now occupying, laud
from which the Spaniard has been
driven, and it would be no sin to drive the
Spaniard or his assignees a little further.
So much for the morality of the plan. Now
as to tho South:
"The South had better loso her electoral
strength and let a few of her Congressmen
retire to privets life than remain as she late
to-day. If the North were wise, oa Bismarck
is wise, she would not rely solely upon blood
and iron as tho cements of national union.
A Committee of One Hundred.
The proposition to create a committee of
one hundred to look after the welfare of Bibb
county and the city of Macon, meetawith a
ready indorsement from law-abiding nnd
order-loving citizens of all classes. There
are a few who bitterly oppose the suggestion
and some who do not understand the plan
proposed.
The committee shonld be chosen by a
pablic meeting called for that purpose. It
is desired that this committee be cam
poBed of representative men. white nnd
black, from all classes, trades, pro
fessions and occupations in the county.
So crested the committee will be i
direct representation of the best public
opiuion and capable of valuable work in
the community It will be the duty and
province of this body’ to takecogDizanceof,
bring to the attention of the courts and
correct the evils that exist in
the county; to find out what laws are
needed to protect and uphold tho
peoole in the exercise of ail their rights,
and to enforce through the pressure of
public opinion the laws that now obtain.
This plan is not a new one, nnj is it at
all doubtful. It has been tried with
sucoess in many of the leadiDg
cities of the Union. It in effect
crystallizes the best public opinion and
makes it available as a weapon against er
ror and wrongdoing. There is not in it
suggestion to which any law-abiding per
son eon offer a reasonable objection,
The objections will come, and
The Hppakorehlp.
The friends of Colonel ilurgun Rawls, of
tho county of Effingham, propose to pre
sent liis name for the speakership of tho
next House. Colonel Bawls was in the
Georgia Legislature during the trying dayB
of reconstruction and did his duty.* This
is considered a crime now by certain parties
in certain quarters. Bat then tho Colonel
has had experience as a Congressman and
was deprived of his sent by a Republican
majority. And the Colonel fought and was
wounded in defending Atlanta. If the Con
federate boom has not petered out perhaps
this old soldier may be allowed to catch on.
We shall see what the "get even" deal and
dealers can do for Colonel Rawls.

Mu. Cleveland, if little Ben Hill is to
be credited, has given evidence of super
human industry. Mr. Hill, talking with a
Constitution man about Bill Newman’s ap
pointment, says; "The President hoa had
full opportunity to consider the applica
tion of each one of the candidates.” Now,
as Judge McCay only died during the clos
ing days of a busy session of Congress,
when every moment of Mr. Cleveland's
time was engrossed with public business,
and os candidates, by pei^pn and petition,
developed in large numbers from day to
day, it will be sseu that the President mast
be a worker from Workersville. The ap
pointment fell just where we said it would
fall.

Senator Beck wilt he accepted without

stances. He says that ho does not believe
any man with ordinary intelligence can
question for odb moment the oggrostiveneea
of the priscut administration in battling
with all public questions, be they foreign
or domestic. He stated emphatically that
thoro is no ground for donbting the courago
of tho State Department in dealing with the

is inclined to think that the Scorettry or
State has, if anything,'been too aggressive
in the Mexican matter. He says that the

to repeal the law which renders an Ameri

utterances in the United States. It is a had

disposed of the Railroad Commission. The
Union says; "The signal victory was in
defeat of the minority report on the ques
tion of controlling the railroads. This has
been a long, hanl fight. It commenced
several years ago, nnd, like ail unnecessary
outbursts of passion, it bul to run its
course. At last, and after years of free dis
cussion, a Urge convention voted-two to
one to abandon the whole question. The
friends of a Railroad Commission aban
doned all hope of getting a commission, hut
made an earnest appeal by their ablest lead
er to decUre in favor of regulating the rail
roads by law. This was voted down two to
one upon the ground that nu:h special leg
islation was not necessary. This hoa al
ways been the law and such a declaration
could do no good and might do harm."

The New York BUr publishes an Id-
(tractive table ahowiog the condition of the
different industrial occupations and trades
ia that city at the present time. Nearly 11
trades are included in the list, which give
the hoare of labor, the rate of wages, the
number of laborers out on strikes and the
general state of trade. The showing,
the jrhole, is decidedly encouraging,
appears that in most cases the workers have
reasonable lengths of service, the average
being between nine and ten hours, with
fair wages, and that in nearly every
s'ance the trade is reported as "good,
"fair," or "brisk.” Only five trades in the
whole list are classed as “dnU.” Among
these are the ahirtmakers, ahoemakee and
tkilors, whose dull season this naturally
The only trades that can complain of long
hoars are the bekerm, barbers, beer wagon
drivers, hone cir drivers and conductors,
shoe salesmen, waiters and tea and grocery
clerks. The wegee vary from five dollars a
week, paid to jute workers, shirt-makers
and silk weavers, to four dollars a day,
which stone-cutters, bricklayers, carvers,
cement masons, encaustic tile-layers, fresco
painters, paper-hangers, plasterers and
coopers receive. Folly half of the different
classes of laborers are paid at a rate exceed
ing two dollars a day, and in not more than
tweoty out of the ooe hundred and fifty
trade* ia the deity wages Ices than a dollar

only one tnJe—the dgar-makers. In that
