Macon, Ga.
STILT. AMF.RICAN CITIZENS.
It is to be regretted that there lias
been Injected Into the gubernatorial
campaign an issue which is bound to
injure the state of Georgia, unle?s the
Democraic party administers a sharp
and unmistakable rebuke to those who
have brought it in «t the polls. It ts
the opposition to Northern men who
nave come among ua and tvho chooso
to uac their own Judgment In matters
political Just as though they were na
tive Georgians.
When we Invite Immigration to onr
state we do no with.the undertstatndlng
that those who come among ua for
feit none of their rights e.s American
citizens and we assure them that in
a Democratic primary, If they ate
Democrats, they arc at. liberty
to work tor and vote for any candi
date they see fit, without running
the risk of being (tingled out ns ob
ject* of ridicule, blackguardism or
slander.
If there was no sudh an under
standing, we should have a mighty
poor chance of getting . any people
here whose presence was at all de
sirable.
That man £s doing the state of Geor
gia a- poor service, who seeks to revive
those prejudices which wore perhaps
Justifiable Immediately following the
war, but which have no place in the
economy of the New South.
There Is a small class of political
demagogues in the North who seek to
gain and retain public office by a
wholesale abuse of the South and of
Southern people. This class ts hap
pily falling away every day, though
there ore a till a few representatives
of it in congress yet. The great mass
of Northern people are too busy solv
ing the problems of today to be
worked up over tho occurrence of thir
ty years ago, ami a man's birth place
has nothing to do. In the great dtltti of
that section, with bis reception among
tha pstAttl* 4A l«»W<e MM Jj» U « ysgg di-
lacn, attends to Kt own business well,
and meddles as little as possible with
that of bis neighbor, he lias sa good
a chance in New York for instance,
it he comes from Georgia, ns it he
comes from Maine. He can be Just
what be pleases In poHtics, nnd bis
right to do so is not questioned. In
fact, in s recent election in Now York
the Southern men In the metropolis
took part, practically as a body, and
exerted a telling influence on the re
sult.
Yet the opposing candidate brought
no false charges against them, tbe op
posing papers did not froth at the
month about It. It was recognised
that In making. New Yitrk their home
they bay forfeited none of their rights
as oittxens and bail a perfect right to
take part in any discussions and
between .10 end Oft, From other Geor
gia cities comes the same news of on
Increasing demand for low-price secu
rities.
This means that capital is beginning
to come out of retirement and ts going
imo aettre channels, and that means
prosperity nnd good times.
Another indication of improvement
Is the fact that many of the railroads
of the country which have been in the
bands of the courts are being reorgan
ized ami run by the owners. This
movement has not as yet reached the
.South, but there is every reason to be
lieve that tt will before very long, for
It is true beyond a doubt that the South
has stood this last panic better than
any other aeorion of the country and
capital will be bound to be attracted
here.
Tbe whole financial outlook is more
hopeful. Factories, furnace* and mills
are starting up all over the country,
and big gaps are being made in the
great army of the unemployed. We
may therefore confidently look for
ward to ah era of plenty aud prosper
ity >in the near future.
Two causes for the improved condi
tion of tiu.tirs may be stated. One is
that tiie financial world is convinced
than for three yours at least the silver
question is settled. There is no possi
ble danger that we will go from a gold
to a silver basis. The other la that the
Democratic party displays a full de
termination to push the passage of the
Wilson tariff Will through congress at
the earliest possible moment, nnd
while tt is true that the bill is not com
pletely satisfactory to anybody, tt will
enable manufacturers, Importers and
consumers to form their plans, know
ing What they have to expect.
SENATOR MORGAN'S POSITION.
Senator Morgan of Alabama made
an announcement tn the senate yes
terday which Senator HUI and his
friends might study with much profit.
Speaking of the tariff bill, he said;
“I propose, to voto for It with
out any amendment whatever
and if my friends on the other side
wjnt to delay action upon it, in the
line of filibustering, and if they noti
fy me of that, I will take occasion to
do as I have done before—sit np for
several nights consecutively to accom
modate them."
This Is the kind of talk which might
be expected from a stalwart like Sen
ator Morgan. There wu« some talk
which indicated that he would he at
moa a lukewarm supporter of the
bill, but tills utterance removes all
question of tills sort and gives the
New York senator fair notice that he
has nothing to expect from the South
ern contingent on whom he retted to
aid him in the scheme to prevent
tariff reform nnd a proper equaliza
tion of taxes.

THAT BETTERMENT FEE.
The only thing brought up against
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson by Geu. Clement
A. Evans in the Joint debates be
tween these gentlemen, which had
the semblance of reason in tt, was that
he had done something very wrong,
If not absolutely illegal In accepting
a fee from the state for defending its
Interests in the Western and Atlantic
betterment cases, before the commis
sion appointed to determine the ques
tion.
The Telegraph printed several days
ago letters from Judge Clifford Ander
son and Judge John I. Hall, which
should have left no doubt in the mind
of any man no absolutely blinded by
prejudice, that the appointment of
Mr. Atkinson and bis acceptance was
perfectly right and proper. But the
editors of some of the Evans papers
and some of the euahusktstic support-
era of tbe general still maintain that
they are better constitutional lawyers
than Judge Anderson aud Judge Hall,
and that these gentlemen do not know
what they are talking almut.
We print in another column an Inter
view wih Governor Northen on this
question. He says very truthfully
that these criticisms of Mr. Atkinson'*
course apply with equal force to him
Mr. Atkinson is making a wonder
ful campaign. Hardly a day posset
but bn makes a telling speech to a
big crowd. Just, such a campaigner
as lie is, ts indeed to lend tbe fight
against she third Party.
From all sections of the state comes
the grand news that the farmers are
hard «t work and are preparing for a
money-making year. The Telegraph
wishes them all good crop* and high
prices.
TO BREAK DOWN PROSCRIPTION.
To the Editor of the Telegraph; The
utterances of an individual given ex
tended circulation through the press
and taken as representing the senti
ments of the entire community may
bring unlooked-for injury to a common
wealth.
Such may be the consequences Of
some recent public remarks of u candi
date for governor unless the impres
sions thereby conveyed nrc sought to
be corrected as fully and as extensive
ly as tile original remarks.
There are thousands of acres of good
land In Georgia uncultivated, Innumer
able water powers not utilised, many
Opportunities for sucoeesful manufac
ture lust need development. We can
not afford to build a Chinese wall
around our state end exclude all Immi
grants. all Westerners and Northern
ers. The sentiment of telf-sufficlency
and exclusion would be sadly out of
Join.*, with the times and contrary to tho
best interests or this state. Hew ab
surd It would bo for. say, tho groat
states of New York and California to
give out to tbe world that they wished
no immigrants, that the pepple of other
states would not be acceptable ue citi
zens of these states. Georgia has not
«..lf nmi iiinn a.n nmnnnA. *n reached, either In extent or population
self, and wn ho protwd* to awue r |or material development, a point where
make whatever Impressions they could
on party policy.
The Telegraph believes that the
same feeling exists in Georgia and
that tbe people of this grand old state
will give such a stinging rebuke
tbe attempt to revive sectional preju
dice as a mean* of catching votes,
that no man who seeks tbe suffrages
of the people will ever again dare to
make the attempt.
There is no difference In principle
between the man who wave* the
bloody shirt in tho North, ‘for the
sake of office, and tbe man who waves
the bloody shirt in the South In order
to achieve place. Both are anachro
nisms and It rests with the people to
convince them that they are dead and
have no place outside tho graveyard
pmiuiy mm I till/
Ho appointed Mr. Atkinson because
be was best titled by knowledge and
ability to do tho work which It was
necessary should be done. Ho paid
him much less, ho says, than his servi
ce* were worth. The result of the
ligation amply justifled tho appoint-
mint for every contention made by
the state was maintained. As to tbe
perfect legality of the transaction any
man Who is not convinced is not worth
convincing, while, ns the governor
points out, tt is absurd io say that
the stage Is debarred from employing
a professional man to do a special
piece of work for which he Is peculiar
ly fitted, simply because tic Uappens
to be a member of the legislature.
There was no more impropriety in
Mr. AUtibson's accepting that fee than
there was In Gen. Evans accepting
bis salary at minister of tbe gospet.
Both geodemen did their work and
»td It well. They were entitled
and got their pay.
GOOD TIMES COMING.
TO the close student of the financial
and commercial report* there are
many indications that the wont of
tbe hard times are over and that there
Is a gradual return of confidence
among moneyed men, which presages
well for a morn of prosperity.
In all the commercial and financial
center* there Is a distinctly better
feeling. Money which 1ms been either
lightly locked up In bank or safe de
posit Tanks, or which has been In
vested In only government or other
giU-edged securities. Is now aautloatly
reaching out for ‘more speculative
Mocks and bonds. This is almost in
variably the first sign of s general for
ward movement, for it proves that the
possessors of idle capital are convinced
that better times are ahead and that
there is no Vrugw a reason to fear
farther depression in ralaas.
This feeling is not ooallned to the
money centers, either; It reaches out
all through the country. Here In Ms
con we see signs of it. For Instance,
Macon and Northern bonds, which for
s year or mare Istve hung about 25,
with few sale*, have within a compar
atively short time Jumped to 42,
number of sales having been made at
or about the latter figure Then there

can airord to come to s standstill,
and if the need tor development la
greater in Georgia than the states
mentioned, then the greater would be
tbe folly of adopting a policy of ex
clusion.
Fortunately, Georgia is not out of
Joint WUh the times on this line. There
has been by our people great effort to
induce immigration, especially from the
North and West Our owp city has
now In operation an advertising nnd
Information bureau whose very object
is to put before the outside world tbe
advantages Of Macon and this section
to the homo seeker, the mechanic and
the farmer, the manufacturer end cap
italist. Two years ago there Was a con
vention oomposed of delegates from all
the Southern state*, inclusive) of Geor
gia. which met In a Southern city to
consider how beat to Induct immigra
tion to the Southern states.
I think It oafs to say, therefore, that
Georg!* wants sH the Immigration it
can get, the Only qualliicuilon being
that they shall devote thetr energies to
the upbuilding of our state. To all
immigrants or home seekers of this
class tbe sentiment of our people will
five cordial welcome, without regard
o which of the two candidates they
may prefer to support for governor.
Very respectfully.
Hugh V. Washington.
Mtcon, April U. ISM.
If tbe resolutions adopted Tuesday
by the Democratic caucus is carried
into effect at an early date it will do
more than any other one thing to a!
lay the silver craze in the South.
Our people feel acutely the need of
more money and they have been
tangbt by the advocates of the sin
gle silver standard that they can get
It by means of tbe free coinage of
•'.Ivor. That hies Is In tbeir beads
and no amount of argument can con
vince them that tt Is not so.
The only remedy possible is to rc-
more the cause which leads them to
desire free silver coinage, that is, give
them an ample supply of currency
with which to do bus',nee*, tn some
other way. .
This can be accomplished thorough
ly and rapidly by the repeal of this
tax on state bank Issues in a proper
and Democratic way.
A man may be a good Democrat and
not favor an Income tax, for the Dem
ocratic party in national convention
baa not passed on this questiou. bat
no good Democrat can oppose the re
peal ot tbe tax on slate bank issues.
On tMs point tbe platform is dear and
explicit It Is .an article of party
faith and must be accepted by repre
sentative members of the party.
There may bo some differences of
opinion os to whether or not the re
peal should be condition! or nncondi
tlouaL We ore rather inclined to tbe
opinion that* no conditions should be
attached to the repealing act. This
matter can be attended to properly by
the Mates and it is good Democratic
doctrine thwt there should be as little
interference by tbe Federal snrern-
mem with affairs which properly be
long to She outre as possible. TUa
matter is not, however, of vital im
portance. If ft Is necessary to get tbe
repealing act speedily through con
gress. to provide for some measure of

Atlanta. April 12.—(Special.)—Gover
nor Northen today gave the Telegraph
an Interesting review on the subject of
that *1,000 fee paid Mr. Atkinson in
Hi* Western and AtUotio bc-Unuient
case, which Gen. Evans has criticised so
frequently In his campaign speeches.
"I do not want to be put in the posi
tion of taking either side in the guber
natorial campaign," said the governor.
In reply to the Telegraph's inquiry,
"but If tt was wrong for Mr. Atkinson
to receive the fee it was wrong tor me
to pay it. Any reflection or criticism
passed upon him on account of it is a
refleotion and criticism on my conduct
also. It Is a matter ot simple Justice
that the facts be given to the public,
let the responsibility rest where it
may."
Governor Northen had read the tet
ters of Judge John I. Hall and Judge
Clifford Anderson upon the right of Mr.
Atkinson to accept the fee, which Ap
peared In the Telegraph some days ago.
and hts interview was a fall confirma
tion ot all the statements they con
tained.
“When I entered upon the discharge
of my executive duties," continued the
governor, "we were tUen just In the
midst of the Western and Atlantic lea3e
question. The betterment claim was
under dtscusslon In -the legislature. It
involved a large amount of money to
tho state and promised almost Inter
minable discussion. It was apparent
that there would be 175 different cpln-
ions in the house and 44 different opin
ions In the senate. To evade this end
less discussion, after conference with
leading members of both branches of
the general assembly I advised the ap
pointment of a commission to settle tho
whole question of betterments. It was
a great responsibility to uftdcrtake, but
this seemed tho beat plan and I was
witting to accept it. In appointing the
commission, which I behove has never
beer, criticised for an instant, I deter
mined not to select a man who had
ever had *nj» connection with the Wes
tern and Atlantic lease question. The
commission was tb be tile court nnd I
wanted it to be perfectly- Impartial and
disinterested. But when-it cume to
tile selection of counsel to defend the
state's interests I had to reverse my
line and select men who were thor
oughly acquainted with nil tho various
facts and circumstances relating to the
lease end betterment question. I did
not want to entrust the interests of the

case.

eral ait the time, and In conferring with
him about the ca*e. he being the state s
leading counsel, I suggested that Judge
Hall and Mr. Atkinson would be the
proper men to assist him. It ta proper
a. *i ilia* v.-•’« tlissa ran.
Gen. C. A. Evans served in the
Georgia leblaisture in 1859-40. At that
time the state was not divided into sen
atorial districts. Each county had a
senator and the general was the sen
ator from Stewart county. War and
secession loomed up prominently in
the legislature, but still there were
some exciting state Issues.
One among them was the bank ques
tion. In the panic of 1857 the legln-
lature had authorized the banks to sus
pend specie payments. In 1858 they re
sumed, but In 1859 wanted to suspend
again and the legislature passed a
bill authorizing the suspension. Gov
ernor Brown vetoed the bill. H«.
pointed out that the panic was over
and the state was once more prosper
ous, and insisted that the banks should
be made to live up to their charters,
but the senate over-rode the veto.
Senator Evans voted tor tho bill-and
against the veto.
The repeal of the usury laws was
also an issue. It canie up at both ses
sions and both times Senator Evans
voted to abolish the laws against us
ury.
Another exciting question was the
Choice case. Choice was a worthless
fellow who had killed a man named
Wood in Atlanta. • Webb was a consta-
rtable, and In the performance ot hts
duty had served a process on Choice
for a debt of *10. Choice wah very in
dignant and the.next day, being in-
fiamed with liquor, met Webh.on the
street and shot him down. As the poor
man fell he cried; "Don’t shoot!" but
saying, “damned if I don't kill you
anyhow,” Choice fired again. Ben Hill
defended Choice and set up the then
novel, but now exploded, defense of
moral Insanity. Tbe Jury promptly
found Choice guilty of murder and the
court sentenced him to be hanged. The
case went to the supreme court, which
scouted the idea of moral Insanity,
and left tbe murderer to his fate.
Then Choice's friends appealed to the
legislature, which at' that time had, or
claimed to have, the pardoning power,
and by a slender majority it passed
a bill to pardon him.
OoVernor Brown vetoed the bill in a
powerful state paper. He pointed out
that Webb was an officer of tile law
and had been killed for doing hts duty.
Ho declared it a most atrocious murder;
quoted tile divine edict against murder
ers. and eald the curse of God would
rest upon the state which disobeyed tt.
Instead of letting the matter rest here,
an unaccountable desire to antagonise
the governor seized upon the general
assembly, and tn Its infatuation

MORE SPONTANEOUS BPONTANIETY
Oen. Evans' Boomers Must Have Mag

From the Georgia Cracker.
Gen. Evans, when he erst met the
Coweta Boanerges on the stump, declared
that ht was guilty of cross disrespect
to tbe will of the people in becoming a
candidate against him. because th* peo
ple had called him spontaneously from
all ever the state, and that he was not
seeking tbe gratification or any personal
ambition, but had only yielded to this
universal demand.
in view of this, It seems real tunny
bow much low squatting, heavy lifting
and loud grunting It taxes to keep up
this spontaneous uprising. The "ava

seemed
crime.
An effort was made to pass the bill
over the veto, but fatted. Then the leg
islature took the extraordinary course
of resolving that the governor had no
right tb voto the bill. They declared it
a law without his approval and ordered
the secretary ot state to (Ue it In Ills
office. The governor vetoed this reso
lution also, but tt was repsssed over his
veto. Then the legislature abandoned
its first MU to pardon Choice and passed
another which pardoned Itlm, but put
him in the Insane asylum.
The governor vetoed this bill also,
but it was rooaased over tbe veto. In
this long fight Senator Evans voted
steadily against the governor and In
taVor of pardoning Choice.
A bill to abolish trial by Jury and a
voto to repeal all laws appropriating

tional purposes are among the Incidents
of the senator's legislative career.
The great issues of that day. however,
were secession and impending wsr. A
bill was brought in to raise a force of
10,000 volunteers, which dented the pri
vate soldiers any voice in the selection
of their officers. Benator Poole of Hall,
who seemed with prophetic vision- to
look forward and see what a glbrious
historical character the Confederate pri
vate would become, moved thst the In
fantry privates should be allowed to

voted down.
