After noting that this was "so pal
pably and. undeniably true that no
answer was attempted." the Kansas
City Post goes on to ,«ny:
"It would be hard to find In the en
tire North a man so Intensely partisan
In his Republicanism as to assert that
In case a Southern Democrat were!
elected President there would he the I
slightest danger of scandal or dishon
esty In the public service. Even the
Northern papers concede the absolute
honesty and high conception of public
duty of the Southerner when In office,
nnd all the world knows his ability to
handle questions of great pith and mo
ment In the realms of diplomacy and
upon the Intonted field.”
JEFFERSON DAVI6 AND HIS
CRITICS.
The Boston Transcript. speaking
tot itself and the typical Northern
sentiment, doubtless. Is not ready to
forgive or regard President Jefferson
Davis, of the Southern Confederacy,
with charity. The Transcript says:
"The people, of the North and
West, while time ha* softened
the nsporitlea that slavery and
the Civil War engendered, have
hy no means come to regard Jef
ferson Davis with the same
forgiving appreciation they be
stow upon Lee. To them there
is little* or nothing to admire 1n
Jefferson Davis, and a great deal 1
yet remaining to be forgiven.”
The Transcript next undertakes to
express the sentiment of the' South
toward Mr. Davis. It says:
"In the South, to judge from
the burden of countless reminis
cences, nnd the estimates of him
expressed In confidential mo
ments by representative South
erners. the regard for Davis, sym
bolized by the memorial, is that
of the hend rather than the
heart. Towa-ds him there may
be felt esteem but not that
warm, chelshlng love, which
follows the memory of Lee. To
tho pride of a section that leads
It to honor the chiefs of a cause,
which it would never seek to- re
vive must be attributed the
Southern demonstration In honor
of Jefferson Davis.”
The Transcript, in its ignorant par
tially Informed way. would Judge of
the sentiment of the South for the
chief of its fallen cause from the Ig
noble carping few who stoop or
would stoop to vent spleen or disap
pointment on the most prominent
target exposed to attack. The abuse
heaped on President Davis by those
who disagreed with him on his own
side during the War Between the
Stntos. was not n circumstance to the
anathemas poured out on the
head of Abraham Lincoln by his ene
mies nt tho North, pending the vary
ing fortunes of that tremendous con
flict, and by the same token the name
of Lincoln, during the war and for
some years after It. was the most bit
terly assailed and hated in the South
of all tho Northern leaders. If the
North had been defeated in the final
outcome the complaints In the South
against Davis would have been a
zephyr compared with the storm of
contunteij that would have broken
on Lincoln's head, and with some
show of Justice, because while Jef
ferson Davis merely obeyed the de
lates and responded to the will of
hls people In all that he dkl. Lincoln
pushed on the conflict, in contempt
of the conciliatory sentiment of tho
North and precipitated that section
Into It largely in violence to the pop-
ula - will In some if not the larger
portion of the Northern States. One
thing cannot he taken from the South
an.I that is she voduntnrily entered
: : - :!: • wc.r of secession and she has
-hir 'd over ’be results even
of crime in which he made of "assas- have had some bouts with him our
selves, but we believe that there Is a
great deal worth thinking about in hls
suggestion. It will be as effective as
any plan yet suggested, and it will be
more honest and constitutional than
some of those proposed. His bill will
have for its purpose the disfranchise
ment of all voters who are in default
for the space of three years in the pay
ment of taxes. It will be In the shape
of an amendment to the Constitution
of the State of Georgia and will pro
vide that all persons who are In default
for as much as three years in the pay
ment of taxes shall be disfranchised.
The bill will provide for the estab
lishment of a court in each county of
the State, which court shall have the
right and power to restore to any per
son who has been disfranchised the
right to vote upon his submitting proof
to the tribunal to which he applies for
the restoration of his right of suffrage
that he possesses the following quali
fications:
1. That he must show that he has
been a resident and citizen of the
State of Georgia for a period of twelve
months next before hls application for
the removal of his disabilities has been
filed.
2. That he has also been a citizen
of the county in which such applica
tion has been made, for the space of
twelve months.
3. That he has not been convicted
of any crime, the punishment of which
would subject him to imprisonment in
the penitentiary, unless he has been
pardoned.
4. That he is a person of good moral
character.
5. That he has a fixed place of
abode, and has had for twelve months
in said county.
6. That he has been regularly em
ployed during that time.
7. That he is either in possession of
property sufficient far hls support, or
he has by his labor earned a sufficient
amount for his support during that
time.
8. That he has paid all of his taxes.
Mr. Hall will also propose an
amendment to the registration laws of
the State so as to make it a crime for
any person to pay another’s taxes for
the purpose of allowing such person lo
register, and which will also make it a
criminal offenso for the tax collector
of any county to permit such person
to pay another’s taxes for the purpose
of placing his name upon tho registra
tion list.
Mr. Hall believes that a bill upon
the above lines will forever secure
white supremacy in Georgia and this
bill will, within the Constitution of
the United States, practically eliminate
the negro vote in Georgia. The bill,
Mr. Hall claims, will disfranchise that
large element of ignorant negro' voters
by law; and It will not permit the reg
istrars or election managers to deter
mine the qualifications of the voters
at the time he offers to register or to
vote.
In connection with the above bill he
will advocate the passage of a bill in
troduced at the last session of the Leg
islature by Mr. "Wooten, of Wilkes,
which bill makes the payment of poll
tax voluntary, and prohibits the col
lection of the same by fi. fa. and levy
upon the property of the taxpayer. He
thinks this bill will again be introduced
by Mr. Wooten, and if it should not
be he will himself introduce It.
It takes something more than a cas
ual glance to get at the meat in this
proposition, bqt upon close inspection
and study It will be found that it has
merit. The voluntary payment of poll
taxes, we are told, was an idea ad
vanced some years ago by Bob Toombs.
At any rate, Mr. Hall’s suggestion
will not be put aside by the sneers of
those who want to cut through the
Constitution of the United States to
accomplish an end which may be ob
tained without such a hazardous un
dertaking.

vinatlon a trade- and of murder a

sassinations and murders were wreaked
on men with whom the Federation
wax at war Is circumstantial evidence
and perhaps moral—though not legal—
proof of the sympathy and support if
not connection <of the unions with
them. If this connection and active
agency of tho unions should be legally
established it will prove a severe re
flection on unionism unless unionism
should positively and emphatically go
on record as repudiating and disowning
any voluntary connection with men
who would In the name of honest labor
make of "assassination a trade and of
murder a menns of livelihood.” The
traditional and Immemorial dignity
and rectitude of labor is at stake. That
Orchard and his associates and acces
sories literally lived up to this descrip
tion of their vocation can only be real
ized—but will be realized—by any
one who reads Orchard's unconsciously
business-like method of setting forth
hls exploits and the mechanical details
and contrivances by which he brought
about the sudden precipitation into
eternity and destruction of individuals
or numbers of them a3 the case might
be. The featuro of De Foe’s great
work of fiction is the ingenuity and de
tail with which the shipwrecked hero,
Robinson Crusoe, on his desolate and
uninhabited island, sets to work to
contrive ways and means of creating
the comforts and Implements enjoyed
by men in a state of society. Orchard
apparently forgets himself in the ab
sorbing pride and interest he takes in
explaining the inventions and plans he
pursued to entrap and bring down his
human quarry. The result In respect
to the amount of bloodshed and num
ber of people that were killed or who
escaped was a matter of entire indiffer
ence, the concern being as to whether
the plan as conceived worked out or
missed fire. We have space only for
one story in illustration of this re
markable criminal’s manner of think
ing and speaking. Of the fixing up of
a bomb and blowing-up of Bradley,
after having failed to poison him by
putting strychnine in the milk loft at
hls door Orchard said:
“I took some pieces of thin board off
a box and put ends—put one end in
this bomb, this gas pipe—and filled it
full of this powder and then put an
end in the other end, a wooden end. I
cut a hole out of the top of the pipe
and bent the lead back and bored some
holes through that with a knife and
fastened a bottle of sulphuric acid into
that and put some giant caps down
into this hole in the powder, put some
chloride of potash and sugar on to
them and took a little screw eye and
put Into the cork of the bottle, took a
cord and fastened it onto Mr. Bradley’s
door In the'morning, so that when”
"Do you know the date on which
you fastened this bomb on Bradley’s
door?"
“No, sir; I don’t remember the ex
act date."
“It was somewhere about the middle
of November, 1904.”
"Yes. Sir.” ‘iZtjjhier
“How did you do it?” '■ ■
"1 took a little screw eye the night
before and fastened it In the door
where he .entered his residence close
to the bottom, and I had this little
cord and the screw fastened into the
cork of the bottle with the acid In and
took It the next morning and wrapped
it up into a parcel and laid it up
against this door and put the cork
I had a loop already fixed in the cord
nnd hooked it over this one I had in the
door, so that when the door opened it
would pul! this cork out of this bottle
and let the acid on the caps and ex
plode them. 7 laid a mat that was lay
ing in front of the door over this bomb
when I put it there and tb rowed a
newspaper over the cord like."
What time in the morning was
this?”
"It was somewhere about 8 o’clock,
maybe a little after 8.”
STICK TO THE RECORD.
The Macon Telegraph never for
gets nor forgives. It reminds its
readers that Mr. Bryan "took up
the free silver Issue where the Re
publicans laid It down and rode it
through two campaign after it was
a dead issue.” Yet that was not
quite as bad, after all, as Mr. Par
ker incorporating a gold plank in
the Democratic platform after the
issue had been dropped four years
later.—Griffin News.
Oa tho contrary Bryan, who was on
the platform committee, fought all
night long, at St. Louis, and finally
succeeded in defeating a simple plat
form declaration to -the effect that the
silver question was of the past. -There
was no gold plank Incorporated in the
Democratic platform. Parker simply
declared that it must be understood, if
he ran, that he was opposed to re
opening that question.
The Marietta Journal takes this view
of it:
The Macon Telegraph never for
gets nor forgives. It reminds its
readers that Mr. Bryan "took up
the free silver issue where the Re
publicans laid it down and rode it
through two campaigns after it
was a dead issue.” That’s as old
as the day dreams of an opium
smoker. Give us something new
about Bryan.
Our two critics do not agree.
It would be difficult to give “sortie
thing new about Bryan” unless we had
new Bryan. His Government own
ership of railroads scheme is not new.
He voted for that proposition in 1892
when he voted for old Weaver.
"What did you do after this was
done?”
"I took a street car and went down
town.”
’ Do you know what the result was?”
"When Mr. Bradley opened the door
It blowed the front out of the house
or shattered it all to pieces and blowed
h:m out in the street somewhere.”

THE. COTTON RUT,
Noting the fact that on returning
from a visit to the South after the war
Horace Greeley said that "the only
work he saw being done was by ne
groes who were fighting grass to raise
cotton to buy hay at the North,” the
Charleston News and Courier declares:
"We are going through the same
motion today. More than forty-
years after the close of war and
after the emancipation of the negro
nearly every pound of hay sold in
this market is raised in the North
and West. It is worth from $25 to
J2S a ton. ‘Better hay can be grown
■n our owe lands and sold at a fair
profit at half the price. Yet we are
so lazy, or indifferent, or incompe
tent that we persist in following
the example of the old-timers who
appear to have had a rooted aver
sion to the cultivation of every
crop except the cotton crop.”
i
I lf our Charleston contemporary
means to speak for the South as a
i whole, its language is exaggerated. It
j Is true, however, that throughout this
j section the hay crop is much too small, I
j and rw> doubt in many parts of the j
Southern States it is neglected almost !
Altogether.
TARIFF INIQUITIES.
our time Democrats are by no
means the only critics of the exces
sive tariff schedules. There are honest
believers in protection as a means of
encouraging industries who repudiate
a system of special privileges by which
monopolies are built up under Govern
ment sanction. The position of the
honest protectionist is made very clear
in an article in the North American
Review on "National Tendencies and
the Constitution” by Mr. William iB.
Rowe, who says:
“The greatest source of discontent,
even among the majority of our citi
zens who believe thoroughly in the
principle and system of protection,
is the exsiting tariff. Their com
plaint is a just one, for. where
protection for several important
industries long ago ceased to
he necessary, there have been built up
in the name of the protective tariff,
special privileges on which great capi
talists have fattened, under the very*
eyes, and at the sore expense, of our
citizens as domestic consumers. When,
in the ordinary course of business, and
as a matter of daily routine, the domes
tic manufacturer regularly sells his pro
duct In foreign markets for a sum sub
stantially less than his price to the
home consumer, under similar circum
stances and conditions, in order to
maintain the high-tariff price in the
home markets, originally established
and acquiesced in a generation ago for
the benefit of infant industries, it is
high time that something be done, since
the difference between these prices,
plus freight and other items, represents
the voluntary contributions of our cit
izens to the already overgrown surplus
capital of the manufacturer. That
method of using wealth has become an
abuse which the American electorate,
now well informed on the situation,
will no longer tolerate. Let the pro
tective tariff, as a system, stand, by
all means: but let the Republican par
ty remove these abuses. Let an end
be made of these shocking special priv
ileges, which are p'ainly. day by day,
adding to the wealth of tho few. The
people are watching and waiting. If
one agency refuses to act, another will
be made to act.”
This is only one of many signs that
Republicans as well as Democrats are
under the present iniquitous system.
The opportunity to make tariff reform
a paying issue is more inviting than it
has been for years, but unfortunately
Bryan, who is the party’s dictator,
doesn’t seem to be able to warm up
except in connection with the policies
already advocated by Roosevelt, thus
convincing the independent voters that
no change of administration Is neces
sary.
Caught on
the Wing
By JOHN T. BOIFEUILLET. *
If from that realm where the rain-
how never fades the soul of Sidney
Lanier looked down upon the banquet
scene last Thursday evening in At
lanta—on the occasion of the celebra
tion In honor of Governor Terrell—it
no doubt rejoiced to witness the up
lifting and impressive effect made
upon all present by Dr. John E.
White’s beautiful and touching recita
tion of the "Song of the Chattahoo
chee.” It may be remarked in pass
ing that water was the only beverage
sponding to tho sentiment. "The
sponding to t he ' sentiment. "The
Southern Gentleman.” Dr. White stat
ed that the last time he attended a
banquet in the room where he then
was an out of town guest, on drinking
a glass of water, asked him. "Where
do you get your water supply?" Dr.
White replied. “From the Chattahoo
chee river." Whereupon the guest ex
claimed: "Then give me another
glass of it, for it is my consecration
water!” As If to further consecrate
the water of the stream that rises in
the spring near Unicoi gap and, danc
ing down the mountain side, rambles
in virgin purity and grace from the
bosom of the lovely Nacoocbee, the
queen of glens, thence
"Out of the hills of Habersham.
Down the valleys of Hall.”
Dr. White recited Lanier's exquisite
lyric in accents so tender that the
chords Of every heart were touched.
The melodious tones of his voice were
in perfect harmony with the music
that flows with the "Song of the Chat
tahoochee.” A death like silence per-
4-aded the large banquet hall as these
words fell,, soft as the fleece of de
scending snows, from the lips of the
holy man of God:
MACON TROUNCES HAUGHTY JAYS
BY TAKING WHIRLWIND CONTEST
Locals Drove Jack Lee to

"All down the hills of Habersham,
All through the valleys of Hall,
The rushes cried Abide, abide.
The willful waterweeds held me .thrall.
The laving laurel turned my tide,
Tho ferns and the fondling grass said
Staj',
The dewberrs’ dipped for to work delas’.
And the little reeds sighed Abide,
abide.
Here in the hills of Habersham,
Here in the valleys of Hail.”
"Abide, abide.” were spoken with
great tenderness—being a true echo of
the earnestness and pathos of the ap
peal of "the rushes” and “the little
reeds.” With rapt attention the ban
queters followed him through the song,
and under the magical melody of his
voice they could see the Chattahoochee
dashing over the rocks and wearin
away their rough surfaces "until the
hidden jewels show the bright side of
the harriers overcome.”
. "And oft in the hills of Habersham.
And oft in the valleys of Hall.
The white quartz shone, and the
smooth brook-stone
Did bar me of passage with friendly
brawl,
And many a luminous Jewel lone
—Crystals clear or a—cloud with mist.
Ruby, garnet and amethyst—
Made lures with the lights of stream
ing stone
In the clefts of the hills of Haber
sham.
In the beds of the valleys of Hall.”
The eyes of all were fixed in steady
gaze upon the speaker as he com
menced the last verse:
"But oh. not the hills of Habersham,
And oh, not the valleys of Hall
Avail: I am fain for to water the plain.
Downward the voices of Duty call—
Downdard. to toil and be mixed with
the main,
The dry fields burn, and the mills are
to turn,
And a myriad flowers mortally yearn.
And the lordly main from beyond the
plain • . -
Calls o’er the hills of Habersham,
Calls through the valleys of Hall.”
As Dr. White concluded the lines -he
raised a glass of Chattahoochee water
to his lips, and proposed that the
three hundred banqueters rise and
drink to the health and happiness of
Georgia’s Governor. AH were instantly
upon their feet, .and with smiles and
gladness responded to Dr, White’s sug
gestion.
Sidney Lanier, the singer, is dead,
but the "Song of the Chattahoochee”
may never die.
"Out of the hills of Habersham,
Down the valleys of Hall,
I hurry amain to reach the plain,
Run the rapid and leap the fall,
Split at the rock and together again,
Accept my bed. or narrow or wide.
And flee from folly on every side
With a lover’s pain to attain the plain
Far from the hills of Habersham,
Far from the valleys of Hall.”
Macon 4, Jacksonville 3,
Yesterday’s game was copped by the
locals after a strenous fighl by the
opposing team. From the lime that
Evans flew out to Houston in the first
Inning until Schan. the last man up in
the ninth, fouled out to Llpe. the game
was in doubt and r.ot until then did
either team let up their going.
Both teams proved its. ability to
stick In the pinches and though sev
eral times it seemed as If one team
would do a stunt, just as many times
fine plays cut off their chances.
Quinn was on the firing line for the
locals and though he pitched well for
three innings, things became so uncer
tain that Harley was substituted to
make sure the contest.
Macon began scoring In the first
round when Murdoch waited for four
bad ones, was sacrificed to second by
Lipe. went to third on Houston’s out.
Evans to Mullaney. and crossed the
plate when George Stinson landed on
the ball for a clean hit over short.
In the third Quinn had a brief Inter
val of uncertainty, tjut the Scouts took
advantage of this and wont the locals
one better. Schan was hit by a pitch
ed ball. Lee bunted to Quinn and
Schan was thrown out at second.
Evans struck out, Bierkotte waited for
a free pass, Viola did likewise, and
Mullaney drew his second hit, scoring
Lee and Bierkotte. Viola being thrown
out at third by Murdoch.
In the fourth, however, the locals
tied the score when "Big” Fred
Wohlleben lifted one over left field
fence which allowed him to go the en
tire four bases without stopping.
Fepe followed with a hit. but Harnish
struck out. Quinn grounded to short
and Bierkotte made it a double. So
far so good, but that wasn’t all. In
the next inning the locals cinched the
score when they tallied twice.
In this inning Murdoch led off with
a single past short, was again sacri
ficed to second by Llpe. and trotted
home on Houston's three bagger to
center field. Stinson was out pitcher
to first, but Evans miseued on Rho-
ton’s grounder and Houston came
home. In the sixth the last run was
scored when Lewis singled, and wait
ed for Burt td hft, and then went ail
the way round the bases, when
"Danny” drew a two bagger.

Very strong testimony against the
negro soldiers continue* to be pre
sented before the Senate military com
mittee. Gen. William Crozier has
shown by experiment that guns can be
cleaned in from one to three minutes
and even in the dark, thus disposing of
the plea'that the clean guns of the
negroes proved their innocence. In-
I spector General Garlington testifies
I that the negroes cast suspicion on
| themselves by becoming "wooden-
J faced” and silent as soon as an inves-
j tlgatlon was begun. Another civilian
to swear to actually seeing the negroes
‘ during the shooting is Mrs. Emma ,
j Leahy, manager of the Leahy House at j
: Brownsville. She says she counted :
sixteen negro soldiers and saw two cf I
I them very plainly, one black and the !
; other a "yellow nigger with spots on j
! his face."
I ' i
William J. Bryan lays little stress \
on the tariff revision issue but is !
mightily impressed with the necessi- '
ty of waging war on the trusts. He I
would be another President who .
would tease the octopus to the point j
of running amuck, but who would de
cline to hit him a vital or crippling
blow. I
The expert Dr. Wiley announces
the dictum that It is a disgrace for
a man to die young. It is a disgrace
that few people voluntarily invite at
all events.
Governor Hughes led the New York
stnimal to water and actually made
.Aim drink.
The Haywood trial now in progress
at Boise. Idaho, has suggested to a
correspondent to ask me to publish
a list of the notable assassinations in
history. I am unable to give the
complete roll but will mention as
many as possible.

Watterson Calls a Halt.
From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
Come, boys, time's up! Enough Is
enough, whilst too much Is a surfpit!
Break away for a little from the "dark
horse” and forget the “big mustache"
You have had lots of fun. So have we.
Ancient history is barred from daily
Journalism.
"How do you feel this evening, Ju
lius?”
"I feel high.”
"Hotv high?”
"Shanghai!”
Now we'll havp the overture from
‘The Merry War.” and after that the
pleasing ballad, "Teddy’s pant* grin
«oon fit Billy!”
