The Appeal to the Railroad Commission.
In our issue ol yesterday we pub
lished, without comment, an appeal,
signed by every railroad manager in
the State,to the Commission, askingan
increase of rates upon flour and grain.
This appeal Is accompanied by a table
showing the difference in tbe rates on
these articles under “Commissioners’
rates" in Georgia, and an one railroad
on each of eleven other States.
The fact la developed by this table
that the average charge in Georgia for
grain per 100 miles is 7 cents per 100
pounds, while in the other eleven
States the rates on grain rango from
to 37 cents. On flour in barrels
the Georgia rate is 15 cents per barrel
for 100 miles,while in the other eleven
States the rate ranges from 20)<j cents
74) j cents for the same setvice.
A significant feature in this case is
that in Ohio and Illinois, two great
grain and flour States, where the ton
nage on these articles is many times
greater than in Georgia, rates are about
one hundred per cent, higher than on
our Georgia roads. One of two things
must he true in reference to these dis
crepancies : either rates are very much
too high in the other eleven States, or
very far below what is just and reason
able in this State.
It may be that the Georgia .Railroad
Commission will assume, as did the
one man on the jury wlro could not
make the other eleven accept his con
clusions touching the case that had
been submitted to their decision, that
other States are simply contrary in ref
erence to freight rntes. It must, how
ever. strike every man ol intelligent and
unbiassed judgmont that whero the
weight of experience of eleven States
is against the rulings of our commis
sion, that tbe chances are at least
eleven to one that the commission of
Georgia, with all at its wisdom and ex
traordinary powers, has inflicted by its
arbitrary action the most cruel injustice
upon our railroad property.
This conclusion will he strengthened
by the array of facts submitted to the
commission in the summing up of the
managers, which accompanies their
appeal. It gains additional force from
the fact that these men of known in
tegrity and character are forced in tho
face of impending disaster to the great
interest they represent, to renew their
application for a change of rates.
What the commission will do
a matter that the future must de
termine. There can be no donbt
its duty in the premises.
Failure to perform this duty will add
another striking illustration of tits dan
gerous powers with which it has been
invested and emphasize the necessity
for their modification.
We have no apology to mako to the
Railroad Commission for the position
of this paper upon the law under which
It was formed and Is acting. The lsw
confers supreme power over sixty mil
lions of valuable, useful and in
dispensable property upon three
men who aro not responsi
ble to anybody for their
actions. Granting the purity ot pur
pose which has actuated the commia-
sionei s, no sensible man can doubt that
very damaging mistakes have been
made, and whether these were the re
sult of mistaken judgment or not, they
have come from the unwise grant of
power to the commission, and at bust
from sn abate of that power?
We do not object to a railroad com
mission, if Its powers are properly *d-
justed and restricted. Wc are opposed
to tbe present law, and think the Com
mission has abnsed the power It con
fers. If It cannot be modified so as to
famish security ta our railroad prop
erty, it ought to be forthwith repealed,
as is clearly evidenced by the case as
made np by the railroad managers of
the State.

Formality on the Mutual Plan.
Tbe new H. I. Kimball house, At
lanta, Ga., has bc-cn finished and will
be formally openedon the30th instant.
The formal opening will be a mutual
affair, and elaborate invitations to the
same hare been scattered throughout
the State. The happy recipient of one
of these invitations bee left hia copy- at
this office with the remark that the af
fair promised to he too rich for his hot
Southern blood.
The invitation to the formal opening
ofthenew H. I. Kimball house comes in
three chapters, accompanied by plana,
specifications and a diagram, together
with a bill of probable cost. It ie not
a serial, but is complete in one issue.
The diagram appears upon the card
which Invites the recipient to come np
on the 30th and bring hia ladies. From
tbe diagram we get an excellent Idea

The Embsrrnsaed Administration.
It is quite manifest that the country
does not entirely share the supreme
personal confidence of Mr. Cleveland
that he will speedily and satisfactorily
reform the office holding portion of the
government. Many people are restive
under the delay, and the administra
tion is beginning to wince under com
ments that very thinly disguise com
plaints.
The job before Mr. Cleveland is a
very large and difficult one. It is alto
gether likely that he himself is willing
to admit that it grows larger as be ap
proaches It more closely. In the lim
ited time at his command he really has
not had opportunity to address him
self to the most serious part of the
work. There is an apprehension that
he may commence at the wrong end.
The South lias complained thafthe
has been the greatest sufferer from Ig
norant, dishonest and incompetent
officials and had government. The
complaint is true or false; it is just or
unjust. If the South has been exag
gerating her troubles, if tho Republi
can officials have been proper and
faithful servants, then Mr. Cleveland
will not interfere with them. He has
repeatedly declared that such officials
were safe, and his cabinet officers have
reiterated his declarations. If a case
is to be made ont against
each office-holder in the
South by written charges,
containing specifications as to offen
sive partisanship and the accused is to
be granted a hearing, then fonr years
will not be sufficient to determine one-
tenth of the cases. There should be
some safer and speedier method of pro
cedure.
But Mr. Cleveland la confronted with
another grave difficulty. We allude to
the situation in Georgia, and oar hon
est people hold that the Augean
stables are deeper with muck
In this Btate than any other. The peo-
plo of the Southern Slates will not ad
mit this, bnt will contend that their
burden is the greater and more griev
ous. But if the peculiar difficulty
which exists in Georgia, may be found
elsewhere, we are not aware ot It. If
Mr. Cleveland should attempt to make
chengesln offices in tills State, at the
end of a term, or tor canse, he may be
brought face to face with this difficul
ty-
What will he do when a Republican
office-holder whom he wishes to re
move brings up indorsements of
the two Senators and their hench
men, to the effect that he is a member
of the gang, that he has always helped
them with money, vote* and influence,
and that he has received assurances
that he would bo undisturbed ? What
will be the action of Mr. Cleveland,
when Rryant and Wilson, Locke, Dar
nell, Wade and others allege that they
have been faithful members of the
coalition in Georgia, and have kept
their money and clothes along with
Brawn and Colquitt? Will ho rontove
men who have had fat pieces under
these Republicans, end who are allies
of the crowd that assnmes to control
Georgia politics and patronage?
It Colqnitt has been allowed to
dicker and trade with Republicans in
the departments, right under Mr.
Cleveland’s nose, in order to unload
some of bis responsibilities upon the
politic, will the trades and understand
ings in Georgia be made good by the
administration? These are the ques
tions that are interesting decent and
honest Georgians. If Mr. Cleveland
does not intend to clean ont our stall
in the Angean stable, there will be no
complaint at his deliberation or even
delay.
The specifications (or the formal open
ing of tbe new II. I. Kimball House
are aptly expressed In a circular letter
which the recipient signs and addressee
to the managers, and in which be is
made to state that the invitation is “ac
cepted with thanks.” To this 1* at
tache. I a blank form on the order of an
application for money orders, In which
is to be stated the style of tickets want
ed, for whom, and the sex of "whom.”
Tbe age, weight and previous condi
tion need not be described.
The formal opening of the new II. I.
Kimball House is to be on tbe mutual
plan. The managers get up the open
ing end the guests pay for it
The plana are elaborate and should
be carefully studied, or the participant

Con. Lawton's Cate
Has been decided in so far as tbit ad

at hand, bat it is to the effect that •
pardon tripes ont the offense. This is
law and common sense. The contrary
opinion would permit the Republicans,
when In power, to continually pile up
lresh barriers against Southern men.
There will be a foes made over the
matter when tbe Senate meets again,
of course, but Mr. Cleveland
hie administration will have
to fight the Senate and tbe Republi
can party sooner or later, and It can
well afford to meet them on this issue.
In the meantime General Lawton will,
be sent to St. Petersburg, and the idea
is prevalent that this will cause much
more sorrow and disappointment
among certain politicians in Georgia
than elsewhere.

Bldnay Lanier and HI* Monument.
Recently we quoted in these columns
a sentiment from Dr. Lipscomb that
will bear repetition: “To neglect our
men of genius is to neglect ourselves,
and to help build them up is one way,
and a very good way, to build up our
dear South.” This springs to mind
again in connection with the move
ment to build here in his native city,
under the blue skies and in view of the
hills he lo72d zo well, a monument to
the poet, philosopher, humanitarian
and white-souled gentleman, Sidney
Lanier.
The movement is worthy of the day
and hour. By his life, by his works,
by bis manhood, Sidney Lanier has
honored the people from whom he
sprang more than they can ever hope
to honor him. They can bnt exempli
fy on brass and stone the qualities up
on which he relied, and jnstify his
high faith in humanity.
Literature owes much to this dead
singer. His work was thorough as far
as the brief compass of his years al
lowed him to advance. When he
touched the immortal harp and
spun his melodies, no false note
marred tbe strains, no discord broke
tbe silvery flow. And through each
melody ran a purpose, pure as the song
itself, reaching out into all the haunts
of humanity. His songs were of na
ture, and he sang them where the poor,
who stand nearest Nature’s heart,might
hear and be comforted by them. Her
melodies he brought to ear, aDd sound
ed thorn upon strings that translated
in a wonderful symphony. In tender-
est sympathy, he invoked her bean-
ties.
Itch no-tongued tree
That, spring by spring, doth nobler be.
And dumbly and most wistfully

Above men's oft unheeding heads,
And bit big blessing downward sheds.

Lichens on stones and mats on eaves.
Grasses and grains In ranks and sheaves;
Broad trended ferns and keen-leaved canes.
And briery mazes bounding lanes.
And marsh-plant,, thlraty-cnpped for rslns,
And milky stems and sugary veins;
For every tong armed women vine
That round a piteous tree doth twine.
The poor, the suffering, innocence,
and they who stand—

“That pressure tightens evermore, 1
had in Sidney Lanier a defender, an
interpreter, a friend whoso sympathies
were unbounded and love unwavering.
Fair is this poet’s fame. But not
alone as poet does he dwell in the
knowledge of hia people. His criti
cisms, his essays, his compilations are
polished gems of literary work
record as a soldier is as spotless as the
pages of bis thought. Under the skies
of Virginia, with the foe at bis front,
and disease beside him to prevent
escape, be fought his dauntless battles.
And when the oppressed spirit unbent
Itself in qnieter hours—when its visor
was lowered and guard down—no Bound
of complainings, no murmur of discon
tent came forth. Upon that flute whose
voice he alone could tempt to inch far
flights of melody, he breathed his
prayer, and unseen wings bora
away beyond even human yearn
ings, leaving us the sounding echoes
These vocal poems most die. They,
of all Lanier’s works, must perish
for no man can release them from
the memory of the living and bid them
speak again. Bat if there lives an ear
attuned as his, sometimes at early
mom or In the watches of the night,
may be laid near Natnre’s heart, there
to catch tbe fragments of these word
less songs; may hear the blackbirds
tho marshes,
—''Tree sounds, rustling ot pine cooes,
Wlnd-slghtngs, doves' mslodtona moans.
And nighl’a unearthly undertones. 1
Sometime may hear in the grand
rush of melody—
"A velvet date-note tall down pleasantly,
and sail—
At 11 a petal from a wild rose blown
Had nattered down upon that pool ot tone.”
But tho flute song will come no more.
The artist-soul has passed. His prayer
is hushed.
There is one element in Sidney La
nier's works not dwelt upon by the crit
ics. It seems to hare escaped unno
ticed. And yet it ie tbe surface into
which the wonderful traceries ere
drawn, the silver and gold hammered,
and upon which tbe bright gems of hie
thought flesh their subtle lights cease
lessly. Behind ell his dreaming, bis
melody, hia fancy, Ida ecstasy, is a
practical mind. Ilia philosophy Is
sound, his hamanitarlanism broad
and practical, and hia sympathy pur
poseful. We do not recall averieof
hia not founded uponadefenaible base.
No man ever wrote a atralghter warn
ing than Is contained la the lines ad
dressed in “Cora” to the Georgia
farmer:
"Look thou, substantial spirit ot content,
Across this little vale, thy continent.

Yon old deserted Georgian bill
Betas to the sun h's aged crest.
And aeamv breast,
By restless-hearted children left to die
Cntended there beneath the heedless sky,
At hetbetona folk expose tbelr old to die.
This old hill, whose owner ran to
cotton olene—“tamed every field into
a gambler’s hell” end "soiled to rain

than—
"There's more la the aw then there is In

If that onr eyee might sometimes etc
Men, maids In purity.”
And is it (alee that

And wooed they nobler, won they nobler

The works ot Sidney Lanier ore foil
ot troth, beauty,'melody and justice. To
these will bis monument, it erected,

Yet ever plerceet downward In tbe mould
And keepest bold
Upon the reverend end steadfast earth
That gave thee birth.
Yea, standcst smiling In thy very grave,
Serene and brave,
With unremitting breath.
Inhaling life from death,
Thine epitaph, writ fair In frnltags eloquent,
Thy living self, tby monument,”
8o stood the poet. So stands his
work.
Thess boa been a
monumental display
Mr. Cleveland's Dilemma.
As the mugwumps secured Mr.
Cleveland's nomination and claim to
have done much towards his election,
is not strange that in the division of
the offices so far they have been
liberally rewarded.
The trouble with the deserters is
that it is always more costly to feed
them alter they have left their flag
than to fight them when serving un
der it.
The present attitude of these foragers
may account for the delay of the ad
ministration in proceeding to reform
the government with a firm hand. The
Massachusetts mugwumps have had a
meeting and hare laid down tho law to
Mr. Cleveland as follows:
We deem this a fit occasion for expressing
our belief that tbe reasons which prevent the
removal of officers -during the terms for which
they are appointed on partisan grounds and
for the pnrpose of patting In their places those
who ere In political accord with the appoint
ing power’ apply with equal fores against ap
pointments lor political reasons when the
terms of inch officers expire, and we earnest
ly hope that the precedent established In the
cue ot Mr. Pearson will govern all similar
cues, and that merit and competency will be
recognised bv tbe reappointment of all compe
tent end faithful officers who have notueed
their official poaltton for partisan purposes.
These fellows want the earth and the
riches thereof and will go back to the
old camp if not supplied with all tho
rations they demand. On the contra
ry, the New York mugwumps are too
sharp to display voraciousness at pres
ent. Speaking for these, the New York
Times says:
Moreover, taking the great body ot the ser
vice with what is notoriously the history ot
the Republican party, and tbe kind and de-
of partisan service exacted from
ofilce-holdere, U may fairly
doubted whether a pretty thorough
change, If made deliberately and care
fully, with a rceolnte desire to get the best
men atulaablc from the oppoette party, would
not, on tbe whole, be a good thing. The ser-
vlce Ie not now and bu oot for a generation
been on a business huts. If the President
lhall undertake to fill vacancies u they occur
with really competent men he will have a
bard time of It, bat so far u he eneeeeda It
will be no service to reform to criticise him
be cause the competent men are Democrat!.
This is meant to be license for Mr.
Cleveland to torn out all the Blaine
office-holders. The insincerity of tbe
Times may be read between the lines
in this:
The qnestlon in regard to the eligibility ol
Mr. Lawton, named u minister to Rnssla, Is
a delicate one. The Attorney-General bu
given to the President hit opinion enctalnlog
Lawlon'e right to hold office, and it
would be Interesting to learn the specific
rounds of th'e opinion. It le not, of count,
known In detail wbat the poaltlon ol the va-
rlone Senalore waa noon tbe matter, bnt Mr.
Edmnnde Is reported to have argued strongly
egelnst the confirmation of Mr. Lawton.
Should tbe Preeldent act upon the opinion of
the Attorney-General the whole queetlon
may corns np again at the opening of the next
session of Congress.
If Mr. Cleveland’s nerves are not
very deeply set and his hide isnot very
tough, this mutt humiliate him. This
it a threat to him, to let Gen. Lawton
alone,or he will be punished by Senator
Edmunds. Mr. Cleveland has asked
and received the opinion of the
law officer of the government.
This opinion makes hia duty plain.
Mr. Edmnndt is a cold, sour old man,
whoaa abilities are, to a great extent,
emasculated by his implacable enmity
to all Southern men. Mr. Edmunds,
