IN FAVOR OF THE SALE.
Bill
Introduced in the Senate for the
Sale of the State Road.
Atlanta Constitution, 22d hist.
One of tin- most important bills of the
present session of tlie Legislature is
that of Senator Dean, introduced yes
terday, which provides for the sale of
the Western and Atlantic Railroad.
The bill is entitled “a bill to be enti
tled an act to authorize and direct the
sale of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, and to Specify the terms and man
ner of sale x>f the same, and for other
purposes.”
It reads as follows:
Whereas, the tine objects of pure re
publican Government are the protec
tion of tlje life, liberty and property of
the citizens, rather than conducting
business for pecuniary gain; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the
,State of Georgia declares “protection to
person and property the paramount du
ty of Government, and shall be impar
tial and complete;” and
Whereas, the Constitution of the
State of Georgia recognizes the right of
the people to free competition in busi
ness pursuits; and
Whereas, the owning of property by
the State which is used and operated
solely for the purposes of profit to the
State is inconsistent with the foregoing
principles and is calculated to reduce the
State from the high plane of pure gov
ernment to the level of business compe
tition with her citizens, thereby offer
ing temptation to use her sovereign
power to protect her pecuniary interests
at the sacrifice of her citizens, whose
welfare she should promote rather than
retard; and
Whereas, the control and manage
ment of such property by the State has
been and will continue to be a disturb
ing element in the conduct of affairs of
the State; and
Whereas, it is a bad business policy
to own property and refuse to sell the
same for an adequate price while ow
ing debts, the interest on which is
equal to or greater than the income de
rived from the property; and
Whereas, the Constitution of the
State of Georgia recognizes the propri
ety of selling the property of the State
for the purpose of paying the debts of
the State;
Therefore, be it enacted by the Gen
oral Assembly of the State of Georgia
and it is hereby enacted by authority
of the same, That the property owned
by the State of Georgia and known as the
Western and Atlantic Railroad proper
ty be sold upon the terms and in the
k manner hereinafter provided
Sec. 1. Be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, That his excel
lency, the Governor of the State of

sors in office, be, and they are hereby
constituted a Board of Commissioner
to conduct and consummate the sale of
said property, a majority of whom shall
constitute a quorum for the transac
tion of the business entrusted to them.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted by the
authority aforesaid, That said Board of
Commissioners are hereby authorized
and directed to advertise in ten
or more leading journals published
in the United States for bids and

mortgage bonds, shall be that upon a
failure of the purchaser or purchasers
to comply with any or all the terms of
the contract of sale, the State through
and in the name of the Governor shall
have the right to sell said bonds, or any

and shall report such propositions

returned to the State in that condition

Doubtless every dollar spent in bet
terments has returned two dollars to
the lessees. Every improvement made
has increased the public confidence m
the mad and brought it business. The
improvements also have made it possi
ble to d<> the business of the road at
less expense. The lessees, therefore,
were only consulting their own inter
ests when they spent money for better

they should now want pay for what
has already paid them so well.

better ca.-e for the lessees than he has

THE AUTHOR'S VIEWS.
A Constitution reporter saw Senator
Dean and asked the object and purpose
of the bill. Mr. Dean said the interest
on the present debt of tlie State, not
including school bonds, amounts to
§487,425 annually. Now the income
from the State road is $300,000 annually,
which leaves a difference of §187,425.
Now the interest on the minimum price,
$8,480,500 at 4} per cent, will be $381,-
622.50, being $81,622.50 more than the
State now gets from the road. This
large increase that will result from the
sale of the road, is, I think,’a very good
reason why the road should be sold.
Individuals endeavor to get as much
from their investments as they can, and
I do not see why the State should not
pursue a similar policy.
“In addition to this reason, should
the bill pass
next Gen- i Legislature
will not allow their claim.
Good Coffee Easy to Make.
Miss Corson, in a lecture, says: “It
is one of the simplest things in the
world to make a cup of coffee, and this
can easily be acconipJisned by applying
a little common sense. If you put boil
ing water oil coffee, and do not let it
boil, you have all tlie good qualities
preserved. One reason dyspeptics can
not drink coffee is because it is boiled.
I have made as good coffee in an old
tomato can as I have ever supped from
the finest French coffee urn. IVe
should take lessons in this matter from
the Turks and Arabians, who grind
their coffee to a fine powder. When the
coffee is ground as fine as possible, put
it in a little bag of unbleached muslin,
which should be tied tightly enough
to prevent the escape of the grounds.
If you use a cupful of unground coffee
you can make a cupful of strong, black
coffee. In making coffee many people
sacrifice flavor for strength. Bitterness

proceeds of sale under the Constitution
will be required to be applied to tlie
liquidation of the State debt. But with
the greater portion of the State debt thus
provided for, there will he no necessity
for raising more than $100,000 annually
from the people by taxation. These
figures to me show conclusively that
the best interest of the State will be
served by selling tlie road, and thus rid
herself of all her railroad property,
quitting the commercial line she has so
long been engaged in, and hereafter
confining herself solely to the task of |
governing the people wisely and well.
“Ample time exists in which to sell
the road. There is no necessity for
hurry, and no reason why any one’s in
terest should be injured by undue haste.
If this Assembly does not provide for
the disposition of the road, the next
Legislature will have time to complete
it, as the lease does not expire before
December 27th, 1890.
“I am in favor of making an earnest
effort to effect the sale of the road for
the most advantageous price. This ef
fort is necessary to he made, and either
this or the next Legislature will have
to accomplish it. Why not let this one
have a chance at it?”

Raising the Hat.
New York Times.
The number of men who do not take
off their hats in elevators, theaters, lob
bies, etc., in the presence of ladies ap
pears to be increasing. A business man
says that this is because people are be
coming more practical and less senti
mental: Men, he says, do not fancy
sacrificing their good looks for the sake
of gallantry, and that’s what they
would do nine time's out of ten should
they doff in a hurry. They would re
veal a mussed-up head of hair, or, in
these days of baldness, a shining pate.
So, by keeping on his cephalic covering
he doesn’t have to grasp either horn of
the dilemma. And then another fact
that weighs heavily, too, is the presence
of women everywhere now, in all the
busy places where once women w’ere
never seen. In shop, factory, store,
they are employed to such an extent
that it is difficult to .give to the sex
that chivalrous attention which once
was accorded them because of the in
frequency of their public appearance.

The Claim for Betterments.
Savannah News.
The claim of the lessees of the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad for com
pensation for betterments very natur
ally creates some surprise. The im
pression has prevailed that at tlie ex
piration of the lease the road, just as it
is, with its equipment, would pass into
the possession of the State, and, that
too, free from any claim of the lessees.
The letter of President Brown lias de
stroyed this impression, and it now ap
pears that the lessees expect to be
paid for all the improvements, they
have made, and for all the rolling stock
they have purchased beyond what is
necessary to leave the road with about
the same amount of rolling stock it had
when they came into possession of it.
The impression gained from the lease
is that the lessees are to be allowed
nothing for betterments. All that is
said in that document on that point is
that the lessees shall return the road to
the State in as good condition as they
The Check was Forthcoming.
When the Rev. Charles Deems, of the
Church of the Redeemer in New York
City, wanted money to pay off a debt
on the building he called on Commo
dore Vanderbilt.
‘Are you going to preach what I want
to hear?” asked the old man sternly.
‘I shall try to preach acceptably,”
answered the clergyman, in an evasive
manner.
But no sooner had he said the words
than all the manhood within him rose
in revolt and the spirit of John Knox
seemed calling him to account.
‘I shall preach the Gospel as I be
lieve and understand it, and if you have
any special sins I shall be most likely
to preach against them.”
“Humph!” said the Commodore, and
ended the interview.
The next day he sent Air. Deems a
check for $50,000 for not being afraid to
do his duty.

Well, when the lessees took the road
did they not expect to renew the rolling
stock, build new bridges and make such
other improvements as their business
demanded? Why did they expend so
much on betterments? Clearly because
it paid them to do so. They have not
spent a dollar that they w’ere not abso
