THE PHILOSOPHY OF DEFEAT.
I have lain In the dust with the vanquished
When my banner went down in despair*
And I thought In my woo that I never might know
The day of success, oh, how fair!
And yet, when the sun on the morrow
Shone forth with Its comforting light,
With a new-kindled zeal and a heart bravo and leal
I went forth again to the fight!
The world cannot judge me by motive,
Nor love me If thus I have failed:
But, behold 1 there’s an Eye that can see how I try,
And knows that I never have quailed 1
And I think of that glorious heaven.
And of Him who sits on its throne.
Who will chide not at all if we rise or we fall,
So long as right purpose is shown 1
Not for aye shall I plno In the shadow
Nor sulk in the gloom of defeat;
For the promise is sure to the hearts that endure,
All the more is the victory sweetl

Judge Hart and Rate-Making.
Mueon Telegraph.
When the McLendon case was up be
fore the legislative committee Judge
John C. Hart g;as called before the
committee, as he represented the State
and the Commission before the Inter
state Commerce Commission in the pro
test against raising the rates of freight
from Western points into Georgia, *
What Judge Hart had to say is of
interest now because of the candicncy
of men for positions as Railroad Com
missioner. One candidate is an At
lanta drummor, representing an Atlan
ta dry goods establishment. He de
clares for the Atlanta port rates.
To i qualify himself to represent the
Ceorgia Railroad Commission, Judge
Hart applied to .the Commission for in
formation in order to prepare himself
for the case before the Interstate Com
merce Commission?
Judge Hart testified: “It was an ex
ceedingly difficult question which we
had up for consideration—the question
of rate-making. I do not think it was
the purpose of Mr. McLlendon or any
member of the Commission not to ren
der services to counsel. I think.it was
lack of ability. And I didn’t mean any
reflection on the Commission. We were
dealing with something that takes time
and study to understand.”
Mr. McLendon, v after long research,
got up a .paper, obtaining the infor
mation from, the proper source, the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
“That paper,” says Judge Hart, "fur-
ished me by Mr. McLendon was all the
information I received from any mem
ber, except a little argument from
Judge Hillyer.”
Again, Judge Hart in his testimony
said: “I have never questioned the
Commission’s sincerity nor its integri
ty; I did, to somo extent, its lack of
knowledge of the case we had up, and
that means no reflection on tho Com
mission—simply a thing I did not under
stand, I am frank to confess, and I
haven’t yet seen a man since I have
been connected with the department
who professed to thoroughly under
stand rate-making. Rate-making is an
exceedingly difficult problem.”
Judge Hart, distinguished for ability,
confessed rate-making was a puzzle to
him. The Judge, eight years on the
bench, eight years Attorney-General of
the State, warns the people that rate
making is an exceedingly difficult and
intricate problem.
Yet, to men of lesser intellect and
experience—for instance, a member of
the Hoke Smith drummer club—it is all
so easy. In fact, The Journal printed
names of three hundred who are travel
ing over the State tolling how easy rate-
making is.
This shows that Judge Hart, when he
desired information bo as to represent
the State, made a blunder. He applied
to-.the wrong tribunal. He Bhould have
sought the “Atlanta 300.”
Then Judge Hart would have dis
covered that thd aspect of a question as
presented to the Commission should be
decided, not according to the law and
evidence submitted in each case, but ac
cording to one’s political promises or
personal interest.
The Port Rate Case.
Dublin Courlor-Dispnteh.
That Atlanta 1b making another des
perate effort to make an artificial poft
of herself—something nature refused
to do—is quite evident.
There are three Railroad Commis
sioners whose terms of office expire
this yenr. There is opposition to the
only two who are opposed to port rates
for Atlanta.
Atlanta for several years has been
trying to make a port of herself, and
she has never for one minute aban
doned the Bcheme. The wholesale mer
chants of that city are just as desirous
of securing a big'advantage over the'
other cities and towns of the State now
as ever before—perhaps more so.
If Atlanta should be given special
privileges by the Railroad Commission,
the other cities and towns of the State
would be handicapped in the race of
progress.
Savannah, Brunswick, Macon, Alba
ny, Milledgeville, Bainbridgo, Colum-
buB, Hawkinsville, Abbeville, Lumber
City, Dublin, and other river and port
points were given an advantage by na
ture over Atlanta, and that city has al
ways been envious.
Atlanta is a big city, and a progres
sive city. She is tho pride of Georgia, v
and all of us are desirous of seeing her
grow and expand. There is a limit,
however, beyond which the people are
not willing to go. They are not willing
that Atlanta shall become a half mil
lion city at the expense of Macon? Sa
vannah, Augusta, Columbus, Dublin,
qnd all the other cities and towns of
the State.
The gubernatorial situation is quiet,
but the Atlanta drummers are very ac
tive. They are daily distributing liter
ature against the re-election of Gov.
Brown, and one of theifi is a candidate
for Railroad Commissioner against Mr.
Gray.
The situation is sufficiently momen
tous for the citizens of Georgia outside
of Atlanta to look well to their ballots,
if they do not desire that city to be
come in reality all of Georgia, as' the
people of Atlanta have been wont to
claim for many years.

Louiflvllle TimoB.
A charming Louisville girl, tho daugh
ter of a minister in Louisville, has al
ways been famed for her habit of sav
ing things because they may come in
handy, and this summer •' he family was
telling a story on her winch she would
give a good deal to suppress. She had
been away at White Sulphur Springs,
and, being especi -Jly popular, had be
come the recipient of such a variety of
souvenirs that before corrung home she
sent one trunk ahepd in wnich she put
many of tho various trinkets for her
smaller brothers and sisters, and Borne
summer frocks which had become too
faded for wear. Her mother industri
ously unpacked the trunk lind finally,
when reaching the bottom, was trans
fixed to find several hundred poker
chips and about half a dozen decks of
cards. When her horrified father later
demanded an explanation, the daughter
quite innocently and unconsciously said:
“Why, father, they were left in thp
room I was occupying-by some former
occupants, and I just took them be
cause I thought they might come in
handy.”
And oven the minister smiled at her
explanation.

they did to me. For several years I was
a victim of kidney trouble. My back
ached terribly, and I was subject to
frequent attacks of dizziness. The kid
ney secretions were badly disordered;
in fact, my general health was much
run down. I took treatment at a min
eral spring, and tried many advertised
remedies, nut my condition failed to im
prove. About two years ago I chanced
to hoar of Doan’s Kidney Pills, and be
ing impressed in their favor, procured
a box. They promptly relieved me of
the trouble. A few weeks ago I felt a

In the garden adjoining St. George’B
chapel at Windsor Castle is a tree with
one of the strangest.of stories. Blighted
and stunted by lightning, it Btands to
recall one" of the tragedies of history.
It is a willow and grew from a cutting
taken from the tree above the grave of
Napoleon at St. Helena. For long it
flourished in its new position, But on
the day of the battle of Sedan, in
which the power of Napoleon III. was
crushed, a flash of lightning carried
away its chief branch. Still, in its
mutilated state it continued to grow
lustily enough until, years later, it was
smitten by another lightning stroke.
Careful comparison showed that the
second disaster synchronized exactly
with the death of the prince imperial,
son of Nanoleun III., at the hands of
