No Southern man will put any obsta

ting himself or his children, hut lew
there are who rebelnot against a system
that makes them pay for the education
of the progeny of negroes, who either
loaf upon the highways all the year
round, or labor only when forced.
Here Is where the harness binds.
The number of idle negroes is simply
appalling. They block the sidewalks
in certain sections of the cities and
hang about cross-roads like flies around
a molasses drip. If the vagrant laws
of Georgia were rigidly enforced to

Tns lv-synnetajt: “Georgiaclaim, to
have no authority to spend a cent to be
represented at any ixpotltlon In the world!
Georgia Is like the men who thinks he can
run a businevs without advertising. She
will to left." Our contemporary ia wiae
and pern>pacorrect. But Georgia pasted
the law which now operates against her at
a time when there were more than one way
of getting left.
Take tbe whole State through and it
will be found that not ten per cent, of
of the negro population puts in six days
of honest work. The statement is not
made rashly but founded upon an in
timate acquaintance with'the race and
with the plantation system.
It ia in overlooking this fact that all
the negrophiliats of tho day stumble
blindly. Though we may have over
grown our foundations, st ill the ground
plan of society remains the same, and
its principles have not varied. The
burden of taxation upon each member
should be the same. h<s responsibilities
the same and his privileges the same
And just as clearly as one cannot lay
out his fund before it is in hand, neither
can society, nor the State, nor
the county justly expend taxes to edu
cate the children of a man who con
tributes nothing to the fund. He need
not, himself, be an actual contributor
of money to swell the fund. If he be
an honest day laborer in the fields he
does his part, for the sum of his pro
duction is ultimately taxed.
Society’s first duty to the negro, he
being a part of society,is, therefore, not
the gift of a free school education, but
the enforcement of a law that will make
him a self-supporter and a producer.
This is the prime duty that scciciy
owes to itself. The negrophilists
would have it that education is the
first, but the fallacy of the argument is
plain when it is shown that the rule
extended to all ranks would force the
people to secure knowledge before
bread. An ignorant population may
threaten society but a hungry popula
tion will destroy it.
When the negro population of Geor
gia is at work it will not be
difficult to secure education for the
children. A very small tax upon the
increase of wealth which must result
from steady labor will accomplish all
that can be desired.
erty shall he be forced to give in his tax
able property at $250,000, when really
he has but $175,0007 This is the ques
tion. We have been informed that in
this county the custom has been,
under such circumstances, to return
the lattersum.
Opposed to the view expressed by
the merchants is one upon which in all
probability the clause is predicated.
Whlieitis true that A, in the case above
cited may owe $75,000 upon his stock,
still is it not a fact that he really owns
the whole stock and uses it as capital
to transact business? And if A is not
taxed for tbe $75,000 be owes, bat
which is represented in his stock, who
is to pay tax upon it?
The question is a nice one and one
of much importance. It will, in all
probability, since attention has been
called to it, be thoroughly discussed
upon the floor of the House. The
Telegraph baa already advised the
passage of the bill, but if it can be im
proved upon, we shall be glad to see
the improvement made. Perhaps the
clause quoted may be worded bo as to
afford equity and justice all around.
Tui question ia, will the President gain
anything (or hlmtell, bla administration

A Dung- reus Prtnclola.
The principle laid down in the Ster
ling case is apt to work harm through
out tho South. Sterling was appointed
by Collector Hedden as weigher in the
New York customhouse for tbe district
of Brooklyn, vice Bacon removed. Ba
con is a Bepubllcan, Sterling a Demo
crat, and the office not a Presidential
one, t ut appertaining solely'to Collec
tor Hedden’s department. Yielding
to the pressure of Republicans and
Mugwumps, President Cleveland has
interposed and ordered the suspension
of Sterling. It is claimed that Bacon
was not rightfully deprived of office.
In Georgia to-day, every effort Is be
ing made by a certain class of politi
cians to build up personal strength
without regard to the welfare of tbe
country or the Democratic party. Just
such a principle as that established in
the Sterling case will give these men
the opportunity desired, by which they
may escape responsibility and gain the
BUDport ot the floating fragments of the
Republican party. It will be sufficient
answer, sufficient for the purpose in
view, for men in charge of Southern
offices who desire to retain Republicans
in the service, to allege a want of au
thority. Is the South, is Georgia to be
chested out ot the fruits of the victor,
won after a twenty years’ straggle?

Tbe Ronme-ian Rebellion.
Tbe province of Roumelia, which a
few days since by the almost unani
mous action of its inhabitants cut loose
from Turkey and annexed itself to Bul
garia, was one of the Porte’s most val
uable tributaries. Financially speak
ing,it was worth about one million dol
lars per year.
This province was detached in 1878
by the treaty ot Berlin, except in point
of tribute, and had a government of its
own. It has now become a part of
Bulgaria by its own and the action of
the Bulgarian Prince, who is notably
guided by Russia and Austria.
It is argued that this step, so far un
accompanied by bloodshed, will dis
turb the peace of Europe; that to
maintain his prestige, or what •lit
is left of it, tbe Porte
must treat the occurrence as rebellion
and restore tbe former position of af
fairs by force of arms. Indeed the
Roumeiians are bo thoroughly con
vinced of this that they have burned
connecting bridges, destroyed telegraph
wires and occupied the strategic points
on the Turkish frontier. They will un
doubtedly have the backing ol Bulgaria
and the sympathy of Russia and Aus
tria. 'Who will pat the Sick Man on
the shoulder?
Aotive measures are being mads to in
duce tbe Lrglalature of Georgia to modify
tbe railroad law of tbat State. Tbe modi
fications proposed seem to be reasonable
and urgently iiemanded In tbe interest ol

State of tbe South baa had a commission
rloibtd with (xtraordlnery, not to iay
despotic powers, and tbe experience has
been wbat uitgbt have bean expected ua-
d,r the circumstances. Having absolute
control over rates, these taller bave been
“regulated”—tbat is, reduced—rid tbe rail-
rondi find tbelr income furiously dimin
ished, wlib tbe not inviting prospect be
fore tberu ot a still larger dtmlnatlon at
any time the comraisiion think It incum
bent upon them to order a further reduc
tion of rater,
There appears to be good evidence that
tbe commissioners bave teen very arbi
trary tu tbe exercise ot tbe large posers
held by them. Rates bave been changed
solely on theit own Judgment, without con-
suiting rallrotd managers or giving them
any previous notice. Brunches bave been
treated the same as It tbey were main
stems, aud were not dependent upon local
business alone t i mass them self-
sustaining. Uniform tariffs bave
been fixed, applying to all
roads alike, regardless of location or
natural adv-n'agoa. Though the commis
sion assumed ait this work, it dors not ap
pear tbat they bad any apeolal fitness for
the teak, and certainly tbey conld not be
familiar with the circumstances of each
particular case Moreover, no definite
right of appeal from Uifir so ion was given
tbe railroads and the commission baa even
contended tbat tbe courts were powerless to
grant redress. To make matters worse,
heavy penalties bsve been established for
any Infraction of the rules or regulations
ot tbe board.
It Is nnt strange that the railroads should
seek relief from sucb a state ot affairs, ft
may occasion surprise, though, tbat Intel-
I’g-nt public senilment should be no less
Impressed with tbe necessity ot a change.
One ot the leading papers in tbe State,
which wse a staunch advocate ot tbe orig
inal law creatfog tbe commission, la now
strongly In favor of soms modification ol
tbat law, so as to resirict and limit the
powers of the board. Tbe Governor ot the
mate, in bts message to tbe Legislature,
last November, took pronounced grou d
in tbs same direction, and urged the Ltgti
lature to provide some means of
appeal to tbe courts from
tbe commissioners’ order;. Indeed, the
commtwtunera themselves were in fa
vor of granting ep, eat to the railroads as
late as 1884, and it was upon a suggeatlon
to tbat tiled conlalmd in their eeml-an-
nual report that the Governor bared bis
recommendatloua. Perhaps they still bold
to the same opinion, but some of tbeir
later actions and utterances, as reported,
seem to be strangtly at variance with tbat
view, loiitly, a committee ot tbe State

In this connection it is a curious fact
that tho black squaws have largely dis

full power and usefulness with idlers

SMITH'S VRROR
A South Carolina Ctrl Weds the Con
comned Slayer of Her Uncle.
A Columbia special says: A romantic
marriage took place in the jail of Chester-
field yeeterday. At the recent term of
court for tbat couoty, James Hnnter, a
fine-looking and well-to-do young white
termer, was tried and convie'edo! man
slaughter for the killing o( George W.
Evans, a neighbor, and sentenced to
four years at hard labor In tbe peniten
tiary. Tbe homicide occurred about
e sesr ago. Hunter end Evens bad a
difficulty several j ears ago, bnt tbey w<-re
apparently on good terms witb each other.
Just previous to tbe fatal encounter on
tbat day, however, in consequence ot an
Insnltliigremsrk by Hunter, Evans knock
ed him down and punished blm. Altai
being taken off ot bim and while Evans
waa leaving the U-ld, with hit mother's
arms around blm, Hunter ran up to Evans
and dlacha-gsd tbe oootenta of bie pistol
into bis body, causing almost instant
death.
The killing was also wltnesied by Miss
Dora Evaoa, apr.tiy young lady, eighteen
years old, a niece ot tbe elaln man and tbe
affianced bride ol the slayer. Not lor one
Instant, however, during ell bts trouble did
the love ot Mies Dorn fur be promhed hue-
bend waver. Night before last, some time
after Sbe iff King aud bla household bad
retired for tna night, tbey were
aroused by a loud knocking on
the outer door of tbe jail. Tbe
sheriff dr»sied sad went out, and, to his
astonl'bmrnt, found that bis visitor was
Miss Dora Evnna, who had fled from bar
borne, twenty-five miles distant, and bad
ridden unattended tbrongu a drenching
rain for tba panose, as sbe boldly an.
nounced, ot marrying bar lover before be
went to tbe penitentiary.
Sheritl King furnish-.d Miss Evans witb
comfortable room for tbe night.
Early the next morning a m'.nUtar
was summoned, aod In tbe jail
hall at 8 o’clock tbe Interesting cere
mony waa performed In the pretence
ot about twenty-five spectators—court offl
cere, lawyers and jurymen. A substantial
breakfast followed, alter wblcb the newly-
married coop's exchanged sflrctlooaie
adieu. Tba bride returned to tbe borne ot
her parents, and the groom wse handcuffed
by tne guard, taken oa bierd the train
and started off on bit journey to the penl
Unitary at Columbia.
How Mrs. Smith Accommodated Her Hus
band Acting Tramp.
Detroit Free Press.
There were bait a dozen ol them holding
down zz many chairs In a suburban drug
store the other evenirg. when the talk
changed to tramps, thieves and burglars,
and Smith aald:
“Well, now bnt I'd like to try an experi
ment. 1 am a little ekittiah about these
desperadoes, and Mra. Smith knowa it and
takes advantage to brag abont her own
courage. She rays she'd just like to find a
tramp on the donratep who refused to dust
when she ord-red him to.”
"Weill" asked one.
“Weil, soppoee one of you rig up and go
to the front door and drmt'd something
to eat, and be mighty Impudent about it?

qoaailon, and not by prejudice or political
considerations. Vary likely tba meraanact-
nient of a provision giving inch remedy,
will serve to change tbe situation, and the
oourts may only Infrequently be called
upon for tbeir aid. Wa are aware tbat tba
commissioners raise the extraordinary
claim tbat tba Legislature exhausted its
constitutions! powers In pairing the act
creeling tht board, aud that tbe making ot
ell (uture changes and regulations wee
conferred upon them and Uitlr eucceaiors
in office by an Irrevocable power ol attor
ney; but wa imagtna tbat tbia will
not M a bar to tbe paltage of amende-
lawi. nor to their ex-cutlon either.
»n of IU unnecessary and extra judi
cial Innctiona, we think tba commission
could and would do mors than tt baa been
doing. Contemporary hiatory sbowa tbat
Stats comtniu.ooa, endowed with merely
advisory tnnctlone, are beet for tbe State,
beat for tbe railroads, and beat for tbe
ccmmanlty. Tue admonitions of commlt-
•tone to constituted. It well grounded, are
•are to be heeded by tba railroads. And
it not heeded tba commission can easily
report to tbe Legislature whet amend
ments of exletiof taw era neceeiary (ogive
them effect. In tbla way tba public gala
all tha benefits tbat a commission can con
fer without tnvitir g soy of tbe abates tbat
unlimited and unrestricted control per

On their own ecoonnt, therefore, ae In
the Interest of justice to the railroad, wa
tbtok tbat tue amendments proposed
should find favor witb tha Georgia legisla
tor!. It la too lata in tbe day to org* tbat
railroad propei ty ta aa much entitled to pro
tection as any other clast of property, and
tbat capital will not venture Into a district

several yeura now, capitalists have been
