THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER: FRIDAY, Sc PTEMBaR 11. 1885.
THE TELEGRAPH & MESSENGER.
Daily and Weekly.
Light Has Dawned.
It ie indeed gratifying to see through
out the State so many evidences of a
return to reason on the part of the peo
ple and press in their treatment of the
railroad question. The Atlanta Con
stitution says:
The Constitution has been from first to last
the friend of the Railroad Commission. We
argued for It before It was established, and
defended It when It had few dtfenders. We
were never more earnestly tha friends of the
commission than now. We believe it Is more
necessary now than ever. The wisdom of Its
conception has been proved, and the useful*
ness of Us administration established beyond
doubt. To put it briefly, we are for the use of
the commission, but against Its abuse.
We are forced to the conclusion that Its
powers are too absolute. As It stands, It Is a

seems incredible that such an argument
could have been seriously advanced. To
what does It tend? This: the machinery

people can be J eopardlied, or tbe uroful power
of tbe commission abridged, by tbe compro
mise measure now before the Legislature.
We take It for granted the purpose of all
concerned la to do what la best for tbe State.
That ceitalnly la all we desire. There Is no
speclallnterest and no special theory, tbe
triumph of which could compensate ua for
injury done to tbe State at large. As matters
now Hand, we believe tbe commission does
work Injury to the Slate. We believe It can be
amended ao as to avoid this, without really
weakening Its abundant power for good. Wo
■bould, therefore, be glad to see It amended.
Aa for tbe rest, the constitution will bo found
defending tbe railroad commission whenever,
opinion, Its real usefulness la attacked,
or any of ita powere threatened, the exercise
ot wblcb docs not threaten larger lntercata of
the commonwealth.
The present attitude of the railroad
bill is thus described. The House pass
ed a hill giving roads a chance to be
heard before rates were made. This
the Senate has amended by giving the
right to make rates to the roads them
selves, and providing for appeals that
can be quickly heard and decided.
This is sc evidently fair and right
that it has met with a ready indorse
ment on all hands. The Conyers
Weekly after commending it adds:
We are not opposed to a commission clothed
with reasonsble power to regale'e all wrooga
and let rlgbt abuses, bnt we are opposed to
anything even bordering on complete dicta-
torahlp. It Is against the spirit of our consti
tution and tbe will and weltare of our people.
It has already worked great Injury to our
railroad interests, and stopped upon tho very
boundary tinea ol onr Elate millions of dollars

proven a political boomerang, and has
floored the Republican party.
It has been plain to observant per
sons for years past that the Republi
cans would, sooner or later, move to
deprive the negro of the ballot.
John Sherman announces that the
time has come to inaugurate this cru
sade. His plan is not altogether plain’
but his desire is unconcealed. He de
mands that the political power repre
sented by the negro vote shall be de
stroyed.

A M-. del Railway Commluior.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: How
did members of the Oeor^ia legislature
or anybody else, get it in o their heads
that a runway commission could be
useful without arbitrary or ‘•uDlimTeil ’
power? More than half the Sraies of the
U.ion have railway commissions, atd
Georgia and Alabama are the only excep*
tioDS to tte rule of constituting them ad
visory bodies or boards of arbitration.
Alabama adopted the Gtorgia system*
so that Georgia stands alone among the
States in creating the great breach in oar
constitutional rights of property. Oteof
the earliest boards created was that of
Massachusetts, with no such power as tbat
g iven to the Georgia comajUsion, audit
as proved itself a model of railway com*
nds'ions. It has encountered all and
more than the dillicnltlea of oar com*
rnbsion, and we have its records,
with the testimony of numerous eminent
observers in Georgia and otn^r Slate#,that
it bus never failed in a sirgle instance to
adjust satisfactorily to all parties tliecaaes
brought before it. Are nut Georgians ss
able .md temperate os the men c f Mas?n-
chnsttts? if they can manage their rail
roads without stripping the citizen of his
rights and w itbout scotching tbe wheels of
all public enterprise, why cannot we do the
*arne? If we have not the Draper and sa
gacity, we could at least follow their exam-
pie. It is not likely that our railroada are
more difficult to manage than those of
M isaachusetts. nor that they are less use
ful and valuable.
Bat it now appears from the opinion of
tho Supreme Coart, some may say, that

high commission with plenary powers so
far as railroada are concerned, aobject to
no limitation or control.
II it was tbe intention of tbe Lrclelatcre
ta invest it with such piwera (which it
conld not do under the constlluti in), that
bod? should now mats it plain by ahowinj?
its intention; but if it waa not, and tbe
statute has bten raiacouatrued by the com
mission, then It la equally important that it
ihctfid speedily remove the ambiguity cf a
statute which has placed the commission
and the8tate in io anacuo ona a position.
If tbe State waa laboring under the throes
of revolution, discord and anarchy, brought
on by the giindin^ power of the railroada
to grab all property, the people could not
call for a committee of pub ic safety with
more dictatorial conscquer.ce and" power
than that now assumed by the esmmia*
aim.
Why the necessity of this, in time of
peace, and as the commission says, of
prosperity? The railroads are not in re
bellion ; why aconrge them with revolution
ary measures? Bur, even if they deserve
harsh treatment, other interests of the
State at least, ahouUi be Allowed to escape.
