The T*lep«ph can be found en eele at the Kimball House and the Pied mont Hotel In Atlanta. "BACK TO THE CONSTITUTION.” Mr. Henry Watterson Is not so sure now aa be was some time ago that the Democrat! ought <o nominate Bryan. T'lrst. Mr. Bryan continues to read out •f the party those who opposed free coinage In 1191; and eecond, there la a break between Bryan and HearsL The reason for bis continuing to cast out those who did not agree with him In IBM Is well understood it not en tirely appreciated by everybody. Tha reason tor the split with Heexat la stated as follow*: “William R. Hearst'a friend* say that the basis of his hostility to William J. Bryan was Mr. 'Bryan’s attitude In tile last Democratic na tional convention. For eight years, beginning In 18116. Mr. Hearst'* friends point out, ho loyally sup ported Bryan, but when In the con- venilon of 1904 Bryan was not a candidate tor the nomination and Hearst was, Bryan. Instead of helping Hearst, gave hie support to former United State* Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, who by no possibility could have carried off the nomination.” During a recent visit to Washington MERE NOISE. Both Bryan and Hearst advocates have found it expedient to tell the Southern Democrats that they were misled and betrayed by Northern ad visers three years ago. That Is why the Houston DsKj’ Post has felt moved to recall the fact that the belief In Judge Alton B. Parker’s availability and the movement for his nomination "started In the South." Says the Post: "As early as 1903 representatives of Southern newspapers went to Esopus to visit Judge Parker, and they persistently exploited his availability. It was shown that he was a Democrat of unflagging loy alty: that he had supported Mr. Bryan faithfu-lly in 1S96 and 1900 when so many other Northern Democrats of prominence had sulked in their tents: that he was elected to the New York Court of Appeals in the year that the State went Republican. The only form idable candidate In the field against Judge Parker was Mr. HearsL and Hearst’-? methods could not be tolerated by the Southern Democracy. The Immod esty of the Hearst campaign, the vulgar and lavish u?e of money In the scramble for delegates, the evi dences of corruption which crept out in the activity of certain men of questionable character, were all offensive to the Southern delegates, • nd were almost a unit for Judge Parker. It was felt that Judge Parker’s nomination would at least lift the Democratic campaign above the level of scandal, and so It did.” Whether Judge Parker was the best particular choice that a conservative Democracy could have made 13 a mat ter of opinion and Is not now the question. Whether he was or was not, his choice was a free and carefully considered one, and the taik of "be trayal” Is mere noise Industriously manufactured for political effecL The Philadelphia Ledger thinks !

"What," a*k« Mr. Watterson, "can Mr. Bryan mean by ‘a good organiza tion Democrat?’ Was not Judge Par ker ‘a good organization Democrat?’ Yet Mr. Bryan, himself, in advance of the national Democratic convention of 1904, went over the country sowing dragon's teeth across the pathway of one who, in spite of some differences of opinion, had loyally supported him In 1896. Just where 1* the line to be drawn If we are to split hairs over an dent history? Why not go back to 1860 and revive the Issues of that fate ful year? Free silver la at least as dead as African eiavery.” Continuing, Mr. Watterson says: "We want to see yet another na tional Democratic triumph. To that end we discounted all bygone dis agreements and accepted Mr. Bryan for our leader a year ago. We meant it. We mean It still. Does not Mr. Bryan owe something to the cauee of a leadership of which the unification of Democ racy la the first essential? Does he not owe something especially to the Democrats of the South, who 9iavo stood by him ao loyally? "With one voice the South say* ’no’ to the proposed Government ownership of the railways. With one voice It tmys ‘no’ to the Ini tiative and referendum. And with one voice It says. ■'Back to the Con stitution.’ Would Mr. Bryan turn sway from the South and all or,ar.ee of a Democratic victory short of a national cataclysm?” Discussing the report that Mr. Bryan has said that he did not particularly tcare for the Damocratlo nomination aext year, Mr. Watterson concludes: he does not crave the kingship, owever, ho may not be averse to play- Bg the role of Warwick," and, in that •vent, we can tell him. of a Democrat who, without entangling alliances with any of the money powers, yet without any antecedents which could drive away conservative Democrats, fills the specification made In Mr. Stealey’s Washington letter exactly: 'a good or ganization Democrat who supported the ticket In 1896;’ who, in oi • Judg ment, could still the discords and re store the harmonies, yea, fill the loose •alls of the Old Ship of Zion with hopeful gales, and perhaps prove an Abraham Lincoln to the lost sheep of the house of Jefferson and Jackson and Tllden. He does not live east of the Alleghanies, either, dor south of the Fntomao and the Ohio.” Some of the newspapers have been calling on Mr. Watterson to name hts man, but so far he has not done so. Meanwhile It has been announced by Mr. Hearst's faithful Ihmsen that he [Hearst] will run for President as the candidate of the Independence League of his creation, independent of any ac tion the Democratic party may take. If Henry Watterson will run. or any other Southern Democrat, The Tele graph will support him Independent of Bryan, Hearst or any Northern organ isation calling Itself by the name of Democracy, or any other name.

Witness this passage from tha dispatches of May 15, relating to the examination of the eleventh tales man: Clarence S. Darrow, for the de fense, objected to the question, and Senator Borah sharply replied. “After the Immense latitude that tho defense has taken In regard to McPartland. Taft and Roosevelt. I did not think that they would stick on any technicality at this late day.” "We d'd not ask as to the effect of McPartland's testimony,” said Darrow and Richardson together. "If Roosevelt is to be brought here to testify we might have something more to say,” went on Richardson. "Roosevelt can take care of him self wherever he Is,” retortod Borah. "Well, I don’t know about that,” said Darrow. Judge Wood directed counsel to proceed with the case, but Darrow, who was standing, took format exception to the remarks of Borah. "I will be glad to eliminate Rooseve’t It you will,” replied Bo rah. "He was brought into the case by the defense.” "He camp In himself,” said Rich ardson. "Ho Is 2 009 miles away and he Writes letters.” “He was brongbtjn by his own butting in.” added Darrow. The judge overruled the objec tion to the question, the talesman saving that he did not have any Mas or opinion in the matter, the defense noting an exception, and the Incident dosed.

The other never wanders from his mother's side. been made this year for a reunion are those of 1856 and 1876. Each of these classes has a livlne alumnus who is an ex-Governor, to-wit: Henry D. Mc Daniel, of the class of 1858. formerly Governor of Georgia, and William D’. Jelks, of the class of 1878. who has just retired from the Gubernatorial chair of Alabama. At the class tree exorcises in 1876 the class prophet pre dated that Jelks would be Governor of Alabama. It la a coincidence that both McDaniel and Jelks succeeded to he Governorship on the death of in cumbents of the office. Gov. Alexan der H. Stephens died in. 1883, and Mc Daniel was chosen to fill the unexpired term, and at Its expiration was elect ed for a full term of two years. Jelks was President of the Alabama Senate (the only political office he had held up to that time) when the Governor of his State died, and Jelks became the executive, filling the unexplred term, and then was elected for a regular term. By profession Jelks Is a Journa list. Of Gov. McDaniel's class of 1S56 at Mercer, there are eight living mem bers. Of these eight. four live In Georgia, namely: Mlrabeau Bonaparte Lafayette Binlon. preacher; James G. Cain, lawyer: Thomas A. Seals, preacher: Henry D. McDaniel, law yer.

Jenk- + Ins ever saw It. He may have carried J off the State's money with him for pro- tection.but not the great seal of State.” There seems to be a little confusion in the minds of many people about this seal question. As I understand IL there were two seals—one ot the ex ecutive office (the Governor's office), and the great seal of State of which the Secretary of State Is the custodian, and which stave in his office. When Gov. Jenkins was depased.he left Geor gia. carrying the seal of the executive department, and about four hundred thousand dollars of money, and sundry Important papers, all of which he safe ly protected for the true people of Georgia, and in time the seal and ex ecutive documents were returned to the custody of the Democratic Govern or, James M. Smith. The money - had been properly used In the payment of the public debt. In August. 1872. Hon. J. B. Cumming Introduced a resolution in the Legislature, which was passed, authorizing Governor Smith to have made a gold fac-simlle of the State seal which ex-Gov. Jenkins had taken away and protected, and to bear this Inscription: "Presented to Charles J. Jenkins by the State of Georgia. In Arduls Fldelis. “The presentation was duly made. It was a fitting testimon ial of the State's gratitude. Gov. Jenk ins wrote a patriotic reply.

NOTES FROM THE LABOR WORLD, The executive board of the Brick layers’ International Union has decided to have the question of affiliation with the American Federation of Labor sub mitted to subordinate unions for a ref erendum vote about the latter part of June. An appeal for higher pay for the pat tern makers on the Isthmus of Pana ma and those employed in the navy yards of the United States, has been made to President Roosevelt by James L. Gernon of Brooklyn, vice-president of the Pattern Makers' League of North America. The sliding scale proposition, pro viding for a wage advance of about 10 per cenL has been accepted by the unions representing the 30,000 textile workers In the- Fall River mills. The Increase will go into effect May 27.

"The Confeder acy was very much In need of a rail way locomotive In order to operate its supply system. It was In 1SC4. and It had not the means to buy an engine, so the alternative arose, steal one. A band of one hundred men were select ed from Lee’s army and placed under the command of a big six-foot-four Georgian, who had been foreman of a stone quarry, and was more or le>-'s skilled In the use of derricks, eto. He took his men up into Maryland and thev tore up a section of the Baltimore and Ohio Railway tracks, flagged the next train, and with nothing on earth save plenty of rope, those hundred m°n carried the locomotive fifty-two miles over hills, across streams, through boes and woods, until they flee under eleven Governors. He was serving in this position when Gov. Jenkins was deposed and Gen. Thom as H. Ruger.of the United States army was apolnted to act as Governor. The Cyclopedia of Georgia says. "Ruger requested Colonel Barnett to remain as Secretary of State, to which he con sented. with the provise that he be not required to affix his official signature to any document, nor to attach the Impression of the great seal of State. Notwithstanding this provise Ruger shortly afterward ordered him to stamp a Certain document with the eal.

Discussing the tide of Immigration flowing .from Europe to the United States at the rate of about a million a year, the Washington Post says: Our growth has been wonderful and rapid. It might have been more healthy. The next census will show more than 100.000.000 under our flag In North America. Much of It we could weil spare. The oak is of slow growth; but we have grown like the vine. The tradl- t'onal conservatitsm of the Anglo- Saxon has given place to the mad progress of what they call "Americanism.” Would It not have been better had we saved our farms for our own sons and daughters? Would It not have been better If Pittsburg had made money less readily? If Chicago had been buKded more substan tially?

Since the recognition of the right of laborers to organize for mutual pro tection. by the adoption of the Ens- l'?h statute of 1S24 (St. 5 Geo. IV c. 95) there has been a continuous strug gle for supremaoy between empim-er and employe, and while legislative bodies in the United States and the other civilized countries have made commendable efforts In recent year.? to establish an equitahie relationship between them, the lack of uniformity of the statutes and deoislons on the sublect nenders it one of the most un spoiled branches of the law. For much valuable Information in th's connection we are indebted to Judge Alton B. Parker'? treatise on "Labor Union.?.” published In the Cyclopedia of Law and Procedure which not onlv trace.? the legal his tory of organized labor from its in ception, but also clearly analyzes the law of this subject as it i? now rec ognized by tie courts throughout the country. It appears that the prosecution of united laborers dates hack to 1721 (24 Cyc. 817) when the "Journeyman Tail ors” of Cambridge were found guilty of conspiracy among themselves to raise, their wages, and upon which occasion tho court held that while it was the privilege of an Individual to demand that his wages be increased. If several met for fhe same purpose, it was illegal nnd tho m-mhers of the union who had organized to raise wages were guilty of conspiracy. From that time this harsh rule was recognized as the law'of England un til the act of 1*24 above referred to. was passed, which, as amended in 1S25 bv 6 Geo. IV. c. 129. repoaled all prior statutes so far as they prohibited tho organization of laborers for their mu tual advantage. Enplieh Rule Followed Here. - The old English rule was followed In the United States during the early part of the nineteenth century, and the com bination of workmen to raise their wages and prevent the employment of non-union men was held In several cases to constitute a criminal conspir acy. New York, Philadelphia and PIttshurg were at that period the hot beds of trade unionism and a number of bitterly contested eases are report ed which resulted unfavorably tn the cause of unionism. Notable among these was the ca?e of the Journeyman Gardwainers, Y.ates Sel Cas. (N. Y.) 114. tried In 1S09 at New York ettv. when it was held that a bndv of enrd- wsiners were guilty of forming them selves into an “unlawful club and com bination” and of adopting "unlnwful bv’aws. rules and order? among them selves and thereby governing them selves and other workmen In their art.” and “not being content to wo?k at the usual rate and prices for which they and other workmen and Journeymen were wont and accustomed to work, falsely and fraudulently conspired un- jurtly and onnrpssively to augment the waves of themse’ves and the other workmen, and unju?tly to exact and extort groat sums of mon-v for t^oir Judge TV.
