The Railroad Commlsalon Bill
As passed by the Senate has been
favorably reported to the House, and
will come up for consideration during
the present week. As the matter has
been exhaustively argued and the time
of the session glows short, it is to he
hoped that it may be brought to a vote
before another Sunday. 'While it has
been made plain that an overwhelming
popular sentiment favors the passage
of the pending bill, an active minority
can delay and harrass it by parlia
mentary tactics, and its opponents hope
thus to defeat it.
There are some considerations to he
addressed to the members of the lower
branch of the Assembly, which should
he thoughtfully received,
Bailroad legislation in this State is
but an experiment. That it has not
given general satisfaction is shown in
the effort to amend the present law.
The people have a right to change the
laws, and it is the duty of their repre
sentatives, regardless of their own pe
culiar views, to give voice to the wishes
of their constituencies.
The present commission law has
been shown to be unjust and oppressive
to a large property, in which all of the
people of the State are interested. In
stances of wrongs done have been es
tablished beyond question, and it has
also appeared that there was no ade
quate remedy for these wrongs in the
hands of the commission. The money
lost can never be returned to the cor
porations representing the losers.
As the dissatisfaction is great and
widespread with the present experi
ment, it will ho wise upon the part of
the representatives to make another
experiment.
This is a progressive age, and daily
experience shows the folly of theMedes
and Fenians, who enacted laws that
could never be changed. It should
never be sa ! d of Georgia that she re
fused to give to any of her citizens re
lief from laws that bore unequally and
unjustly upon persons or property.
If the present proposed experiment
shall not prove wise and satisfactory,
it is within the power of the coming
Legislature within a year to repeal it. It
stands in the fundamental law that
there shall he legislation as to rail
roads, but it does not describe with
particularity what this legislation shall
or that it shall not be subject to al
teration or amendment.
It is the duty of every representative
approach this question with the
stem impartiality of a judge. Some
may in times past have been annoyed
by the lack of civility of a railroad
employe not nnder the eye of his su
perior. Bat this does not warrant the
punishment of all railroads. Others
may have had cause to complain of un
just and nneqnal tariff on prodace.
It wonld bo wonderful if this great
and growing business could have been
conducted without such happenings.
But should these wrongs he visited by
rigorous enactment that hears equally
hard upon the innocent and the wrong
doer?
If these things have happened in the
past has not the pnnitory legislation of
tbo last five years taught the railroads
lesson from which they will profit?
Representatives must como np to this
issne as statesmen and not as partisan
politicians.
It has been the hope of all good men,
interested in the advancement of the
State, that tiffs question should not he
dragged down into the dirty arena of
politics. The example of a border
State, Tennessee, should giro warning
upon this point. But if it is to he
treated in a partisan spirit, the inevit
able consequenco will be, that political
lines will be drawn about it in future
State contests.
We state, as coming within our own
knowledge, that Mr. Wadley was har-
rassod by this fear, and that he always
sternly set his face against any such
suggestion.
The talk, for it cannot be designated
as argument,that the unanimity of the
press of the State on this issue is evi
dence of its purchase, is unworthy the
subject or theoccsilon.
This same press stood up in the dark
days of reconstruction and poverty for
the rights, the honor, and the respect
ability of Georgia, when.the oppressor
had millions, ready to be expended for
its desertion and debanchment.
The 6tote has absolute control of
this matter. The action of the repre
sentatives will show how for she is en-
titled to the motto, “Wisdom, justice
and moderation,” blazoned on her
shield.

This may be a good reason this year, or It
may not; we cannot presume to decide that
question. But It Is a tact patent to ell ttaouaht-
lul people tbit tho opening oi such schools
as go by the name of technical schools wonld
bool great advantage to the South in affording
its young men an opportunity to acquire at
home the education that will specially fit them
for useful activity in developing the resources
of that region and taking the lead in the great
ladnitilal enterprise* which are now being
undertaken.
It there were anywhere In the Booth an In
stitution like the Miuacbusetts Insti
tute of Technology, or the Columbia
School of Mining, or the Worcester
School of Mechanic Arts, It would ho a
very profitable investment ol money tor tho
general prosperity. It Is encouraging to see
that tho matter of establishing snch a school
Is under consideration in the Georgia Legisla
ture The more It Is delisted the more feasi
ble end necessary it will appear, and It Is to
be hoped that the time is not far dietant when
public spirit snd private liberality will join
hands to forward the scheme.
Savannah expended a million dollars In the
erection of new bnlldlngs during the basinets
year which ended September 1. Were the
architect* trained In Georgia who
planned those buildings? Were the
contractors who did tho work,
and the skilled mechanics employed In their
conitructton, men who obtained their experi
ence and technical knowledge In Georgia? If
every men employed in the application of this
million dollars was born and trslnod in Geor
gia, and the Legislature of Georgia was willing
10 refer to these men the qneitlon whether or
not money should be appropriated to open a
State achool of technology, It Is probsble that
a large majority wonld decide In favor of do
ing It promptly.
In 1880 Georgia produced from hot mines
preclom metals worth over 180,(WO, coal worth
?i!0,000, Iron ore worth 8120,000 and other
minerals worth |120.0'.0. From her
quarries were produced abont 870,-
(00 worth of stone. The people of the
State regard then figures as only a fslnt In
dex of Whit will soma day ha produced from
their mines, and, In fact, there Is already a
large Increase. In the seme census year
Georgia employed 36,167 persons In manufac
turing, mechanical trades and mining. How
many of the engineers and master workmen
among then obtained their technical trWalnc
at home? If the mines and manufactnrea of
Georgia are to grow rapidly, the young men
of the State, snd not those from other locali
ties, ought to be tho ones foremost In the
work of development.
In 1807 Georgia had 1548 miles of railway
within her limits. To-day she has ovor twice
this mileage. How much of this newly built
rotd was surveyed and contracted for by men
trained in Georgia schools? All through Geor
gia brl dges are being bnUt, agricultural Impl*'

Notwithstanding that the Georgia Ltgisla-
tora think their State Is too poor to now pro-
vide technical training for lti youth, the State
la not indifferent to education. In 1873 the to
tal number ot enrolled pupils in Georgia com
mon achools was 63,010. In 1883 It waa 287,000,
and in ISM about 300,000. The entire public

It is to be hoped that the Legislature
will not consider a motion to adjonra
before taking np and patting upon its
final passage the biU establishing
State technological institute. Georgia
•houid make at least a beginning this
year in this line. It is not to be ex
pected that a vast college, thor
oughly equipped, can be leg
islated into existence at once.
Let the Legislature but place
the matter in shape, and it will be
found that the pressure of the growing
generation, as it strives for advance
ment in the mechanical arts, will de
velop a system suited to the necessi
ties of the State. Let ns have a be-
ginning.
At this late day arguments in snpport
of mechanical schools wonld seem out
of place. The (abject has been ex
panded and discussed until their util
ity is everywhere admitted. In Geor
gia the sole argnment wielded
against them is based
finance. The claim is made that the
State is too poor to appropriate money
for an industrial school. Thla Is
mere matter of opinion. The man who

Tha Misrepresented South.
In tho course of a leader on the Now
York election the Charleston News and
Courier Bays:
It hu not been practicable In th* South, or,
at all events, It has not bcon tho rule of lato
years, to selact Senators and Conireanaen
with sn eye to their opinions on oconomlo
question*. The endeavor hu bean to Mitel
men who wonld brine out tho full party
itrenith and be tare to bo elected, whatever
their opinions abont the enmney, civil ser
vice reform, the tariff and the Uke. It so hap
pens that tho Sonth la frequently mis
represented In Conans*, and l
Uevt it to b* misrepresented on the sub
ject of th* enrreney, and occulonally on tho
subject of olvtl service reform. Th* South
ern people are not spoilsman, nor art they
revolutionists, and, nnleu the political ma
chine la stronier than w* consider It, th* pnb-
Ho man who era willing to dtbau tho cur
rency, and who place their names on tha roll
of pantry politicians, and who fight against
tha revision ol tho tariff, will have a hard
tlmaofltwhsn the nominations nr* to
made next year. And If the machine, In split
ot the public will, shall grind oat the
tong men, some way will be found
break lha machine.
While we cannot gubscribe to this
expression in its entirety, we are frank
to confess that there is mnch of truth
in it.
Upon economic questions tho Sonth
has been greatly misrepresented,
stronger instance can be adduced than
the folly of Southern Representatives
joining in a free trade crusade in the
interests of the whisky ring. Bat this
is past Tariff revision will not take
any each shape in the future.
The straggle in the Sonth has been
to keep up white supremacy—^we mean
in its fullest and broadest sense.
The ballot was debased by being con
ferred upon the negro, snd as .natural
consequence the representative has
been debased. It has given opportun
ity for some small and scheming poli
ticians to rath to the front, because
they could control the negro vote, and
others bave been tolerated from fear
they wonld throw this vote against
the best interests of the white people.
The South hu sent few business men
to Congres*> and in this respect baa
suffered in comparison with the North,
and in the results ot legislation. There
are very few men at the South, aspir
ing to leadership, who are np, so to
speak, on economic questions. Fi
nance, beyond salaries and perqui
sites, is a sealed book to them. Their
ideas of a tariff come from the discus
sions of olden times, when the South,
a (lave country, opposed the tariff, be-
catuc New England abolitionists fa
vored it.
These conditions ore changed, bat
the Southern representative is un
changed. Now and then one bee thu
courage and intelligence to move for
ward, as is fittingly illustrated in the
cases of Senators Boiler, ot Sooth Car
olina, and Pugh, of Alabama.

Our Federal Judge*.
The letter of our Atlanta correspon
dent in regard to the return of Judge
McCay to the bench of the United
States District Court represents, no
doubt, the best professional sentiment
the capital, and shonld give the
people serious concern. When Judge
McCay was forced by mental and phys
ical disability to retire from the bench,
then for the first time were the people
the State informed that he had been
incapacitated for many months. Why
the fact was so studiously and success
fully concealed it is not important now
inquire.
The people are interested, alone, in
hts present condition. Clearly, it must
be far from satisfactory. After Judge
McOay’s retirement, we have heard of
him at times, as in an asylum, under
medical surveillance, and always in a
mental condition, such as to cause his
friends serious alarm. At no time has
an authoritative statement been made
public as to the recovery of his mental
balance. Newspaper reports have
treated of his physical health. This
may bo perfect, in connection with a
wrecked intellect. It is the working of
the mind that largely aids in wearing
down the physical constitution. It
to be presumed that Judge
McCay is not in condition to
resume the exercise of judicial func
tions with safety to the people. When
at himself he was a kindly man and a
fair lawyer, though given to crotchety
lines of thought. If ho had fully re
covered his mental powers, the first
indication of the fact wonld have been
his active effort to havo the Yarbrough
boys released from the penitentiary,
where they are suffering nnder hfs sen
tence for an offense of which they are
not guilty. In the absence of any
action of this kind apon the
part of Judge McCay, it is
bo presumed that his past
judicial career Is a blank to him. Un
fortunately it has not been a blank to
the people of Georgia. How to pre
vent his return to the bench, jost now,
is not clear. When Congress shall
meet that body can tako some action
in the premises. He does not intimate
any desire or intention to resign, and
shonld he do so while nnder mental
aberration such a resignation wonld be
held as worthless.
Tho politicians who,knowing his con
dition,kept himon the bench,may have
farther use for him in the same posi
tion. He can be made to keep the
seat warm, while the tricks are being
fixed for a successor.
Surely Georgia has reaped a terrible
harvest from the management of her
politicians, so far as the Federal judi
ciary is concerned.
The two judges who sit in the Cir
cuit Coart are aliens and partisans,
while one of the District judges has
been bereft of reason, and the other
was born without conscience. Timo
snd the continued success of good men
and methods can only promise relief
from this deplorable condition.

While it is claimed that New York is
a Democratic State, her Senatorial rep

the only Democratic Senator daring

conclusive. The Legislature shonld be
of a complexion to assure a Democratic
