msde no attempt at display, but
presented the results of the action of
liiq Commission upon liis road con
cisely and and so clearly that all
could understand him, and which
demonstrated that the rates made
for the Savannah, Florida and Wes
tern Railway Company by the
Georgia Railroad Commission were
uot jatt aud reaaoliable, inasmuch
as uudor the Commission’s rates, for
the sixth months ending July 1st,
1S8L the road had earned only a net
income of a quarter of one per cent.
Four oi these months the road had
been operated under the Commis
sion’s rates and two months under
the rates fixed by the company.
The Commission’s rates went into
effect March 3d, 18SL The
earnings for March. April, May

March, April, May and June, 1880L
$314,181, an increase In 1881.~of$3k '

But how much of this was from
local freights? In 188Q the local

the company carried 1L518 tons ot
local merchandise, which at the
company’s rates nylfeldedr $37,00?
The same months In 1881 tho com-1 suiting

was a perfect skeleton until life was
given by the action of the Cctmmia-

should be complete as laws when

The rules aud regulations of . the

A .fool may be pious and reveren.-
tial, believe 1n creeds and religion*;
but the other sort Js quite likely to ;
be an atbesi-t. David undoubted-’
iy meant to write that: ibe damphool
“bath said there Is nor God.” He
generally believes himself equal to
anything—to commanding auaruiy,
writing a succcralul novel, building
railroads or running a newspaper-
He seldom, if ercr,takes advice, es
pecially from his wife. He b sfttlf-,
od to bnrsting witirself-satisfactiun.
Everything~he does and says could
not have been better done or said.
Ail that he owns or touches Is nidi
atsd with ths’gleams of tis own self-
sufficiency. His geese are always
swaus; his. horses, if lie’owns, them,
ueequaied for thi.'ir valiiabte'points;
his .'bouse could not beTuiproved.
His wife and children .are front the
fact of bearing his name snpcrlor t>
ait other men * wives and children.
His, property, because il tz his;projj-
ertv; has a value denied to every
thing adjacent to if. if lie jingles
and rhymes be lakes it for the finest
poetry j if he daubs, he thinks be is
an unrivaled artUt, In poetics he
is especially IndicrOns. He believes
that the populace areimpressed with
his greatness as deeply aa be Is him
self; and that they crave his services
and bis presence in.politicses inten
sely ms he does. He pretends he
could summon thousand* of voters
to the polls who are only waiting
for th* magic of his name to redeem
his party, even though in a desper
ate minority. HU postal ing before
the pablic as a great man is often as
indicronsasthc shadow pantomimes
which distort a human being into a
grotesques glint,simply by hispisi-
ing between a light and a sheet. So,
it you allow one of these .politicians,
the lamp of the press and a sheet of
newspaper, the image of himself,
which be contrives to throw up to
the public gaze, Is a magnified, bat
distorted, figare of the little man he
really is.
.It cannot' be denied, however,
that these men are supremely happy.
There is within them a perennial
string of self-conceit more assuring
to them than tbe consolations of re
ligion. It constantly overflows and
breaks out in a glow of'.counte
nance, an ear-splitting smile and a
chuckle and ripple of delight, like
an over-ripe pumpkin that -burst*
