Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Nat
uralists have much to say of parasitic
plants and animals. The mistletoe is one
of the mott familiar instances of the form
ex class, and the hermit-crab is one of the
most notable examples of the latter class.
The mistletoe, instead of gathering its
nourishment from air and soil, draws its
^applies from theoak and chestnut. With
equal disinterestedness the hermit-crab,
instead of buildings own houses, utilizes
the cast-off shells ■ various mollusca. In
both cases there is, as scientists teach, a
rapid degeneration.
Parasitism is not, however, confined to
the vegetable and animal kingdoms.
There are frequent examples amongst the
lower%id higher human races. Kvery un
productive consumer, whether duke or
dead-beat, is a social parasite. Every
landlord or employer, who grinds
the poor, and, by one or another
crooked device, appropriates without just
compensation the blood and sweat of the
toiling millions, is none the less a parasite,
because of his plethoric money-bags.
Aggressive syndicates, land monopolies,
tax exempted capital, whether in bonds
or railways, all go to augment the burdens
of the bread-winners. They perpetuate
an evil which menaces the peace and pros
per; ty of the commonwealth. They arc
in no small measure responsible for the
growth of communism, and pave the way
for Pittsburg massacres and French revo-

while the sulphur smoke of battle still
floated In the air, this blighting curse of
parasitism was entailed on coming genera

augurated, with its periodical disbursement
of food and clothing. In many instat es
it was a well bestowed charity. Bnt in an
immense majority of cases it was dircctiv

internal improvements. An appeal to
precedent is allowable in the forum.
re decisis is a wise judicial maxim. Bat
the merest pettifogger knows that it is
out of place in the benate chamber. Ours
is in theory, and until these evil days
was in practice, a government of consti
tutional limitations. Besides, the analo-
S 7 which he proposes between approptla-
ons for educational purposes and river
and harbor appropriations, is fanciful and
far-fetebed.
SENATOR BROWN
is no mean disputant, and we have rarely
seen him at such manifest disadvantage os
when Bayard, of Delaware, exposed the
absurdity of this analogy. The Delaware
Senator admonished him, that os long ago
at 1820, the United States Supreme Court
ha«l affirmed the constitutionality of the
river and harbor appropriation, on the
ground that the Federal government had
the power to regulate commerce between
the States. This decision, he further re
marked, had been acquiesced in by all de
partments of the government for a half
centurv. It was like a third form bor at
Rugby having his Latin syntax corrected
by Thomas Arnold. But if there were no
constitutional obstacle to the bill, its
obvious ini|>olicy ought to insure its de
feat.
Such a line of policy as the disbursement
is really without precedent in the history
of the government. Many years
ago there was a surplus revenue accruing
from the sale of the public land. It was
proposed to distribute this fund, for
which the government had no present
need, not as a free gratully, but ns an in
definite loan. Some of our purest and
wisest statesmen resisted the measure, as
both unconstitutional and inexpedient.
South Carolina refused outright to receive
her quota. She was unwilling to lie subsi
dized, or, what was scarcely less incompat
ible with her dignity, to become a pen
sioner of the Federal treasury. It is a
burning shame that such manly independ
ence is no longer dreamed of in our polit
ical philosophy.
But its impolicy is more striking for an
other vital consideration. While we dis
tinctly recognize the evils of illiteracy
amongst the negroes, we are equally satis
fied that universal education is no
adequate remedy for universal suf
frage. “There is no political alchemy,”
as Huxley wisely observed, “by wh ch you
can extract golden conduct from leaden
instincts.” The negro’s intellectual ami
moral advancement is limited by the in
tellectual and moral capabilities of his
race. The law of conformity to type will
bring him to his |>ro|>er level, as certainly
as the law of gravitation orings a stoue to
the earth.
Negro suffrage, not less a crime than a
blunder, can only be corrected by such a
modification as the public welfare shall de
mand. Meanwhile, let us

EDUCATIONAL DILL OF SENATOR BLAIR.
If this were an isolated measure, it might
he treated with some forbearance. Bu
such a conception argues an exceeding
narrow view of the drift
of the scheme it inaugurates
and an utter misapprehension of the in
tent of its principal advocates. Proper-
|y understood, it is the smallest part of an
Mministrativc policy, as well defined
the American system of Mr. Clay. It
means centralism, and, as a logical se
quence, Ctcoorism. It leads totlio paternal
government of Bismarck, which is only
sustained by the memories of tiadowa and
Sedan, the personal qualities of Kaiser
Wilhelm, and a military establishment
which is an incubus on German industries
and a perpetual menace te neighboring
nationalities. It Is at best a purblind
statesmanship or a willful betrayal of pub
lic liberty. This a strong statement, and
yet we are reddy for its vindication.
Let us for the present consider
the matter apart from its obvious relations
to other issues of the tariff— the reckless
squandering of the public domain
and the wasteful extravagance of river
and liarbor appropriations, the pension
list, all of which are a convenient pretext
for oppressive taxation. An exorbitant
internal revenue system has put one hun
dred millions of surplus revenue in the
Federal treasury. Instead of applying
thin money to the extinguishment of our
national debt, it is gravely proposed to
divert It from this legitimate channel and
disburse it to the fitates for educational
purposes on the basis of illiteracy. On its

On the Way--Speculation,
1 (FECIAL CORRESPONDENCE. I
Atlanta, May 15.—The convention of
chemists met in the Senate chamber at the
capitol at 10 o’clock this morning and or
ganized by calling to the chair Commis
sioner Henderson, with Dr. Dabney, State
chemist of North Carolina, acting as secre
tary.
The purpose of the conventfon is to agree
upon a uniform method of determining
the analysis and value of fertilizers. Upon
the question, who shall be privileged to
vote on propositions looking to that result,
Dr. .Shephard, of Charleston, moved that
only official chemists be allowed to vote.
This motion created a lively discussion,
and did not seem to meet the views of the
‘unofficial” chemists present, who consti
tute a maiority of the convention. The
motion was voted down.
The convention proceeded at once to the
discussion of matters pertaining to the
special business of the meeting. It is by
no means certain that they will accom
plish a definite and satisfactory result, but
it is to be hoped they will.
There are some of the oldest chemists of
the country present, and the result of their
work, whatever it may be. will be of con
siderable importance to the public.
PAINE, ROWLAND A CO.
I sent you last night the report that the
Georgia Stock and Produce Exchange, of
Atlanta, had closed doors and suspended
business temporarily. The report is con
firmed. Mr.Tains, senior member of the
firm, informs your correspondent that the
•us|»cnsion is only tenijiorary, and not due
to any financial embarrassment. He states
that the tronble is a difference with one of
their customers, who claims that they owe
him an amount which they deny and re
fuse to pay. An application has been
made to put the concern in the hands of a
receiver, and a hearing will be had to-mor
row. Mr. Paine claims tiiat the exchange
will come out all right and be able to re
sume business immediately.
JUDICIAL ASPIRANTS.
Congressional politics in the Fifth con
tinue a kind of fifteen puzzle, which no
'•an yet solve, except, of course, the
several candidates. They are the only
ones who are in no sort of doubt as to the
result, and each can name the wiuning
man with surprising promptness.
I find in nearly every discussion touch
ing the Congressional race some reference
is made to Judge Stewart. It is under
stood now, I believe, that he iv
not n candidate for Congress,
but a veiy strong impression
prevails that he is looking to higher judi
cial honors, and will 1* a candidate before
the next Legislature for the Supreme
Bench to succeed Judge Blnndford. whose
term will expire. Judge Blandford will
probably desire re-election, nml will be
hard to retire. A contest between Judge
Stewart and Judge Blaudford would stir
the waters.
It is also talked as a strong probability
that Col. Boynton will bo pressed for the
j udgeship ot the Flint circuit, to succeed
. l udge Stewart.
ON THE WAY.
Architect Edbrooko telegraphs from
Chicago that nil the duplicate plans for
the new canitol arc now on their way to
Atlanta, lie will probably not come c>n
until the bids are opened, July loth.
ENECULATIOX.
There Is a great deal more speculation
■ the exchanges here than is generally
supitosed. The same feverish
desire to .gain wealth by the abort
cut that prevails elsewhere pre
vails here. 1 do not pretend to say
that this species of gambling is on the in.
rrease in Atlanta, but it appears to be in
full awing. There are a great many who
make only an occasional ventu.v. but there
is a large class who make it a business
and may be seen almost any hour watch-
that bank and absolute confidence in its
solvency, and there is great sympathy for
them, the largest depositor of that
class, I have heard of, is
a widow, who had on deposit
drawing a small interest, $5,500. Quite a
number, I understand, were hysterical
upon bearing the news of the failure.

he will round up all right. If lie should

Atlanta.
The other banks have decided to co

become necessary, although they do not
believe the situation demands it as yet.

The people who seem most alarmed
hbout their money are those who tot by
the failure of the Citizens' Bank. One gen
tleman, remembering his experience on
that occasion, drew his balance oat of one
of the banks, was paid a large part of it in
specie, and had to hire a darky to help
carry it to his office, where he deiiosited
the precious burden in his safe, lie feels
better.
Among other speculations, it Is reported
that James held several thousand shares
of Memphis and Charleston, which lost
him $25 per share.
These are times when people who have
no money feel perfectly easy, and con tern,
plate with some degree of serenity the
troubles of wealth.
RESUMED.
Paine, Rowland & Co., proprietors of
the Georgia Stock and Produce Exchange
of whom I have already written you, will
resume business to morrow. They were
closed upon an application made
by Phelan, proprietor *
another bucket shop to pi
them in the bauds of a receiver. T|_
hearing was bad before Judge Hammond
today and derided in favor of Paine, Row
land Ik Co. The latter will file a suit for
damages against Phelan for $50,000.
Mr. Rowland informed me to night that
his house is perfectly solid, and will re
sume business to-morrow with a stronger
hacking than ever. There has been no ap
prehension among dealers with the house,
who seem to have every confidence in the
concern.
Johu II. James states that while he does
not know his exact status lie will pay 100
cents in the dollar. His liabilites. in the
absence of any official statement, are
ptoced anywhere from $300,000 to $000,000.

Washington, May 13.—The Republican
Congressional committee and such mem
bers of the Republican national committee
are in the city, held an important meet
ing to-night to discuss a very set ious ob
stacle which has arisen in the way ot their
campaign work, and which is likely to
cause a reorganization of the entire ma
chinery of the Republican party through
out the whole United States.
In the civil service law which was passed
last year, since any Coqgressional or na
tionnl election has been held, there is a
section (No. 11) providing “that no Senator
or Representative or territorial delegate
of Congress, or any officer or em
ploye of either House, and no ex
ecutive, judicial, military or naval officer
of the United States, and no clerk
or employe of any department of the gov
ernment of the United States shall directly
or indirectly solicit receive or in any man
ner bo concerned in soliciting ami receiv
ing any assessment, subscription or con
tribution for any political purpose what
ever from any emcer. clerk or employe of
the United State* or from any person re
ceiving compensation from any monevs
derived front the treasury of the United
States.”
Section 14 of the same act la a repetition
of the foregoing, but applies only to Con
gressmen who are prohibited from receiv
ing money or any valuable thing from any
olllccr or employe of the government.
Section 15 makes the pena'lr for the
violation of these sections 45.000 fine and
Imprisonment in the penitentiary for five
years.
Mr. Edward McPherson, secretary of the
Congressional committee, baa just dlscov-
eretT this provision of the civil service law,
the significance of which does not apjwar
to have been realized when it was under
debate in Congress; and the matter was
submitted to the national and Congression
al committees to-night, which, after dis
cussion, decided that Federal office-hold
ers who are members of campaign com
mittees should at once resign to save them-
•elves from the penitentiary.
The Congressional committee is com

AMONG TON BANKS.
While there has been a slight tendency
to-day with certain classes of people to
draw money out of the banks, the general
tone la good. That is to say. all the
other banka are sound, and
with good management there

States himself, to aid in the work of the
coming campain, Senator Hawley can be
made to head a procession of about tldrtv
of ids colleagues to the penitentiary anil
remain behind the bare for three years.
The law Is construed by the members of
the committee to include themselves, and
prohibits them offering to or accepting
contributions from each other. The com-
Imittee U regarded as responsible for the
acts of its agents under the clause ‘'direct-1
Iv or indirectly,” and General Hawley H

{McPhersonreceives a contribution from
the President, from Use < hief Justice, from
any porter in the New York custom house
or any carrier in tho postal service.
Thus the committee is ''paralyzed." It
cannot receive financial assistance from
any man who receives compensation in
any form from the government, while the
National committee is in the same fix.
The law also applies to U dural officia's who
are mend ten of State, county, or township
l>olitical organization*. There is scarcely
a county in the United States in which 1
there is not a postmaster serving as a
member of a political committee, and if
another postmaster should subscrita a
dollar to the expenses of the campaign he
would be liable to a five-thousand dollar
tine and imprisonment.
This law applies to the use of money
•'for any political purpose whatever," anil
includes conventions, torchlight proces
sions, the printing of posters or the hiring
of brass bands, not only after the nomina-
■tion of candidates or delegates, but before
the bolding of conventions.
It will be seen that the law is very sweep
ing and arbitrary, and that ail political
committee* must henceforth be composed
