Report of the Railroad Commission.
The Railroad Commission haa laid a
semi-annual report upon the desks oi
the members of tho Legislature. It is
intended to counteract any attempt to
modify the law under which the com
mission at present acta. The report
says:
Much dissatisfaction has been eiprcescd by
the railroad companlee ol the State in refer
ence to the powers conferred upon the com-
mission by tbe act of 1870. An aUempt will
be made at the approaching session of the
General As-embly, we teem, te have the list
■o amended at to mike It more consistent
with the views and wishes of tor railway cor
poration*. Tn view of this wc deem It not Im
proper to give expression to our optnlous
upon this vary Important subject, through the
medium of tbla report
While this is true, the commission
faile to tell the whole truth. There are
thousands of men in Georgia who are
not in any way interested or connected
with railroad corporations who think
the present law should bo modified.
They do not desire to destroy the com-
misaicn or to emasculate its powers,
but to equalise its authority and ac
tion. The commission makes a grave
mistake when it rushes into print to
defend its life and to display tbe unfair
temper of • special pleader, and the
ar guments and suggestions of the dema
gogue. The question involved is far
above State politics, and should be met
in the spirit of a chancellor disposed to
deal out equity, rather than that of a
court attempting to bold and defend its
jurisdiction. The commission is capa
ble oi doing a great good if it will ex
hibit a judicial temper, andean con
ceive the idea that it is not a criminal
arraigned at the bar, and being prose
cuted by the railroad corporations.
A great change haa come over
tho people of Georgia since
the formation of the commission, and a
very large portion of them desire that
the arbitrary powers granted to it shall
be to some extent modified. They do
not believe the commission infallible,
and in contests that have been made
before the courts, the Legislature and
the people, its temper has not always
been exhibited to advantage.
The fact stands that the com
mission oppressed the Savan
nah, Florida and Western rail
way for many months, and caused the
company to lose money by the imposi
tion of unjust rates. In the midst of a
legislative inquiry the commis
sion itself admitted this, and promised
to remedy the wrong. But how could
the railway recover the money lost or
the damage be repaired?
It waa claimed that the Central road
lost forty thousand dollars upon the
freights of commercial fertilizers alone,
by reason of the unfair and unjuat
rates of the commission. Yet neither
the commission or the State pays back
this money wrongfully taken from the
stockholders and owners of the road.
It is well known that upon some, it
not all the roads in the State, employes
are compelled to do double duty, and
in many cases are receiving one-half
the pay that should he given them for
the service rendered. The people are
not unmindful of these things. The re
sult lias been that a legislative
committee waa raised to inquire
into and to report upon the matter,
The commission seems desirous of dis
counting that report. If the power of
the commission bears unequally upon
the railroads of this State it should be
modified. This Legislature may not
have the wisdom and courage to do its
duty, but there are other Legislature!
to follow, and if a wrong exist* it will
be righted In time. This is a fact that
the commission may just os well recog
nise sooner at later.
The (uluro cannot possibly hold for
Georgia or any other State the miser
able politics with which she haa suffer
ed for years.
The people of Georgia are not leas
just, enlightened, or intelligent than
those of Tennessee, Alabama, Missis
sippi and South Carolina. Yet in all
of the States mentioned, a check has
been placed upon the growing power
and demands of railroad commissions,
The railroads in Georgia may be in
the condition Msumed bv the Railroad
Commiaaion. The men who manage
them, who do the herculean labor to
watch and control the Intricate details
of their business, differ from the com
mission.
If the roads in Georgia are in inch
fine condition, it is strange that other
roads in the country have been sub
jected to such disasters. A late report
stye:
The present rear has foreclosed fifteen cor
porations with twelve hundred miles ot rail
road and neatly one hundred millions of stock
and bond*, and thirty odd other computes
with over six theusud miles ot rstitoad and
nenrly four hundred millions of securities, art
In tha hudi of receiver*.
The people of Georgia do not desire
to incarcerate Governor Smith, Major
Wallace and Colonel Trammell. They
have no idea of mulcting them in dam
age*. They are willing that these
gentlemen shall continue to devote ■
small portion of their time to looking
after railroad rates, lmt they desire that
the Legislature of the State ihalldo
justice to the men interested in millions
worth of important property, and to the
other thousands of men, women and
children whose daily support it depen
dent upon the success of the* enter
prises.
beria, many fail and become diacour-
aged. Editor Fortune thinks "the
poor colored people" should go to
Mexico. Many ot them will do eo pro-
ided Editor Fortune and others of tho
well-to-do colored people will become
the pioneers of the movement. Fred.
IKuiglaa, who is more than half white,
uns a white wife and is quite old,
detiree the negro to bang on
to the white man. He think* it
the only safe tiling (or the negro.
Bishop Turner on the contrary desires
the negro to go to Africa, baild up a
government aud reap the rich rewards
tiiat labor and intelligence may give
them. Editor Fortune desires aotno of
them to go to Mexico, where land Is
cheap and there are no social preju
dices.
The negro will not go anywhere of
his own accord in any considerable
force. There must lie something pow
erful to attract him in front or an irre
sistible force to move him from the
in Boone, from 10 to 16; in Keokuk,
from 20 to 37; in Lyons, from 39
to -11; in Davenport, from 130 to
ISO; in Burlington, from 08
to 109; in Ottumwe, from 22 to 110; in
Coumil Bluffs, from 50 to 75; in Cedar
Rapids, from 40 to 50. The conclusion
warranted by the answers to these in
quiries is that in the country and in of tbe report Is tha greatness of tbe corn-
many towns prohibition baa been suc
cessful, but in larger towns the amount
of liquor sold ia probably greater than
before, and the number of arrests for
drunkenness is not less. Municipal
revenue, meanwhile, has been so les
sened by the loss of license fees that
ten cities have increased their tax levy
and fifteen more have impending finan
cial difficulty."
The idea of moving the negro is al-
always mot with suggestions as to the
mpossibility of transportation. Ho
will need no transportables beyond his
legs to reach Mexico. There ia no moro
wildness in the idea that he will evacu
ate the Southern States, in time, titan
there was in the proposition of Chief
Justice Chase, just after tbe war, that
tbe v bite people should be driven from
the South, and the land turned over to
the negroes.
Editor Fortune is an intelligent ne
gro. He lives in a community
where there are other intelligent and
wealthy negroes. He is' just tho man
to start a Mexican emigration scheme,
if he really believes what be says. The
leaders of the negroes, black and white,
have been misleading them tor ttiese
twenty years and more. It is time that
the right road was found.
One tiling as regards the negro may
be considered ns settled. Wlrenever it
becomes the interest of the white
race to make him get out of
the way it will be done
and done quickly. The weaker always
goes down before tho stronger. The
Indians were brave, self supporting,
and had a language of their own. But
the white man has driven the Indian
away, and will in time doatroy him.
The experiment of Liberia is not a suc
cess. Tho same money and effort
spent in Mexico might produce vastly
different results.
GeO'Sln Politics.
Judge Loclirane has been a trifle dil
atory in his semi-weekly interview as
to the political situation, but haa let
down his milk to a stripper of the New
York Tribune.
We quote him as follows :
-I am just back from Geortla and a tour ol
tba South. There Is no political question un
der agitation tn Geortla ol any moment The
people there are discussing the next governor-
ship a little, bnt It la ol no earthlr moment to

South U bound to be tall, fled whatever ho
may do. It hu been said that tbe end of hti

party. The theory ot tble predic

Thia is interesting so far as it goea,
but it lacks tbe prescience of the amia
ble and ubiquitous Judge. He ia alto
gether suggestive. Perhaps the time
haa not yet arrived for him to show Ida

hint that the "business side of relig

The Judge is ominously silent as re

It may not be forgotten that the Steph

blessing of the Judge.
GEORGIA RAILROAD COMMISSION.
A» XFFOETTO FBEVEKT THE RESTBItTION Of
IT* POWERS—A SUMMARY OP TBE VIEWS Of
TBE COMMISSION,
Teleobapb Bcsiao, 17J4 Psacbtbee BE.,
Atlanta, July 17,1885.
The Georgia Railroad Commission sub
mitted to the Legls'atnre this morning its
eleventh semi-annas! report. The burden
mission end the Insolence of rsllrosdi In
Tn* Vl-sln'a Republicans.
Heretofore Malione and his followers
have fought as Readjusters. He him
self has claimed to be a Democrat,
while he acted with the Republican
party, and was largely enabled to suc
ceed by the aid given him by that
party. This masquerading must now
cease. Ti e contest in Virginia, no
matter how it may he waged or may
result, will hare the effect to mobilize
Republican party in that State.
The men who follow Malione in this
campaign, may not be expected to re
new their allegiance to the Democratic
party again, in any considerable num
bers. John S. Wise, just nominated
for Governor, may be regarded as a
Republican in full faith and fellowship.
He is energetic and audacious, and
while not inheriting much of his fath
er’s ability, has all of his crankiness.
He is young and ambitious, and will
make a very close and thorough canvass
of the State. Some people, even Vir
ginians, consider the result as doubtful.
The canvass maybe considered the
initial move for a permanent division
in Southern politics, and a disintegra
tion of the Democratic party as now
constituted. The eiectionof Mr. Cleve
land and the enforcement of new poli
cies, has had the effect to loosen the
rigor of partv linee, and this will be
moro or less felt throughout the entire
South.
The spectacle of respectable while
Virginia Democrats-following Johnny
Wise into the Republican camp, will
not be lost upon ambitious and restless
young men elsewhere. •
Gen. Fitz-Hugh Lee should be able
io defeat Johnny Wise, and it is con
sidered as beyond question that he will
be the nominee of the Democratic con
vention.
deiiring to have their powers curtailed.
They enter into a lengthy and labored ar
gument to ehow the value of the commis
sion to the State, that under It railroad
corporations have proipered, and nobody
dissatisfied except the prople who own
railroad property. However, the most
prominent feature of the report,
Indicating that the matter la
resting lomewbat heavily on the minds of
the commission, is the argument that the
powers of tbe ;commluioo are, and ought
10 be ubsolnte, and It would be dangerous
to permit tn tppetl from its dsclsiona.
The following le the summary of the
views of the commission aa set out in tbe
report:
1. Tne constitution of tha State confers
power aud authority to regulate freight
and passenger tariffs and of preventing an-
jast discrimination on the variont rail
roads of this State upon the legislative de
partment of tbe government alone.
2. Authority to exercise these powers
cannot, tinder the oonetltutlou, be
conferred by appeal or otherwise
npOLfthe judiciary departments.
3. That in tbe very nature of judicial
proceedings tbe courts could not so frame
their judgments at thereby to discharge
the duty of regulating freight end patten-
eontempletrd elsewhere in the Sonth. This
committee, after a most carehtl investiga
tion. made an elsborate report to tbe Les-
tsUtare, etrongly favoring the school
This report and the subsequent effort to
ptit the measure created a great deal of
dlscruslon In Georgia and throughout the
South. The report was basinets Tike docu
ment, end contained accurate estimates of
the cost of buildings, the necessary equip
ments, etc., of such a school as was pro*
posed by the bill.
After the •djonrnment of the Hodse thlf
morning, your correspondent sought out
Mr. Harris and asked hfs views as to the

whole heart la in the meaaure. and that he

Said Mr. Harrla: "While our own Leg.
Islature refused to appropriate the money
necessary to establish a school of tech
nology, the agitation of the question end
the published result! of the investigation
made by our committee led to the estab
lishment ot such schools in Texas, Alaba
ma and North Carolina, and probably in
otcer Southern States. At the urgent re
quest of the authorities of the Btstes men

4. That any law conferring such power
and authority upon the oonrts would, In
eflect, be a delegation ol the power and
authority entrusted to the Gefiernl Assem
bly alone, and, in effect, would be an ap
plication ot loch powers and autnority of
the Legislators.
5. Tnat any each legislative act causing
snch power and authority to be exercised
by the railrosds themselves would be a
renunciation by tbe legislature of powers
and duties made by the constitution pecu-
Hat to itself, and virtually would be a re
fusal on the part of tbe General Assembly
to carry into effect by appropriate legisla
tion a provision of tbe tandamental law.
0. Tne existence ot the commiaaion law
with its present provisions has not been
njnrious to the Interest ot either the pub-
c or the railroad companies In this Slate.
7. The exercise of their powers by the
commissioners has not damaged the rail

y*ry little opposition to the bill on its mer
its. To meet tbe objections to its passage
on the score of the financial leatnre ol it,
the bill will probably be *0 amended et to
take effect January 1, 1887, *t which time
the treaanry will be in moch better condi
tion, owing to the largo saving from the
decrease of the interest on the pnblio debt,
m well as a probable healthier condition ol
business, and an expected increase ot the
taxable values of property In the State.

opinion that It the views of the commie-

roade In Georgia an gone. He pronounced
the legal argument set up by tnem in de-
fense of the commission, Its powers, etc.,
weak and unworthy <>( the gentlemen who
signed the report. The po-ition taken by
Senator Falligant In this matter,
positive and manly, ia an aeanrance
that the rights ot tbs great railroad corpo
rations In Georgia wul not anfler at tbe
hands of the Senate committee on rail
roads. Thia committee, to which tbe re
port cf the railroad commieilon baa been
referred, will bays an opportunity of rent
ing tbe commission from the untenable
position taken by them, and the Indica
tions are that they will do to. They will
accomplish great good It they succeed tn
making the fingers of the commission re

railroad interests of this State.
