EDITORIAL NOTES..
Editor Walsh, of Augusta, wants
Mr. Stephens’ Casey letter chucked in
the political waste basket.
The Stephens boom gradually dwin
dles down to the narrow coniines of
the Atlanta bosses, and the wail that
now issues daily from the Constitu
tion is piteous.

A rumor that W. A. Huff had cap
tured the Macon post office frightened
that town from centre to circumfer
ence the other day. The rumor turned
out to be a hoax.
The pension bill has finally been
put through the House under a sus
pension of the rules. It only takes
$100,000,000 from the treasury. Com
ment is unnecessary.
Where isJGovernor Colquitt? Noth
ing but one of his ministerial (?) tours
and that hallelujah lick and p-e-r-s-e-
e u-t-i-o-n whine of his will save the
State in the present crisis.
Joe Brown lias evidently been
squeezing the Atlanta Constitution
again, judging by the way it whines.
Behold this whining, weeping broth
er, and beware of bosses and syndi
cates.
The New York Financial anil
Commercial Chronicle says foreign
rice is being sold in that market for
shipment to Southern ports, a circum
stance, it remarks, almost, if not quite,
unprecedented.
People are willing that their pub
lic servants should earn their salaries;
but Congressmen will not make honest
men mad if they should vote to adjourn
even before they have appropriated
every dollar in the treasury.
The usual summer exodus to the
springs and mountains has begun, and
lots of Saratogas are being packed.
Few Albany people are likely to leave,
however. On the contrary, Albany
feels almost like setting up for a sum
mer-resort.
The Tariff Commission has been
packed as securely to obtain a report
in favor of protection as the Electoral
Commission was to steal the Presiden
cy for Hayes. But tlie people will de
cide the question Gnally to suit them
selves all the same.
The Atlanta Herald says “it is
getting to be pretty well understood
that if Mr. Stephens doesn’t give bond
to keep the peace and not interfere
with the Senatorial succession, he will
find the July convention a very un-
iafe body to tamper with.”
In 1875 the average expenditure of
each in an, woman and child in Eng
land for drink was $29. In 1881 this
had fallen to $16, and the effect was
seen in an immediate increase in the
deposits in savings banks. But yet
these deposits do not amount to 10 per
cent of the money spent.
Mb. Underwood, the Georgia mem
ber of the Tariff Commission, has ex
pressed his views on the subject of the
tariff. He favors a revenue derived
from customs duties sufficient to pay
tiia expenses of the government, and
this he says “involves the overthrow
of the internal revenue system.”
“The perpetuity of our institutions
depends upon a fair vote and an hon
est count, and, if need be, the entire
power of the government will be em
ployed to maintain the purity of the
ballot/’ shrieks a Northern Radical
paper. Ill 1876 the entire power of
the government, in Republican hands,
was employed to defeat “a fair vote
and an honest count” in Florida, Louis
ians and other Southern States that
might bo named. It seems to us that
the less the Radical organs of the
North have to say about the sanctity
of ‘‘the government” and the part it
takes in elections the Letter.
A Seventh District correspondent
of the Macon Telegraph wants to un
earth a lettir written by Mr. Stephens
to the young men of the Seventh Dis
trict, urging them to vote for Mr. Fel
ton. If the correspondent will get per
mission to look over the files of the
Cartersville Free Press he will find
it there. It is addressed to Mr. J. A.
Baker, of Cartersville, and did the In
dependents more good in that district
than any other campaign document
they disserain. • Another interest
ing piece of literature, just at this
time, would be the comments of the
Atlanta Constitution oa that letter.

| Ilia Own Life.
We- publish elsewhere an Atlanta
special to yesterday’s Macon Tele
graph that is of do small significance
in our State politics. While the state
ment made in this telegram with re
gard to the threatened bolt in the
Stephens ranks is news to us, it brings
no surprise. Nor are we surprised to
hear that the managing editor of the
Constitution has declared that he
will not abide by the action of the
convention unless it conforms to his
own wishes. Nothing more could
have been expected of him. This
same spirit of intolerance and bossism
controlled him -and his journal two
years ago, and resulted in a failure to
nominate a candidate in the Demo
cratic convention. And the people
will find that the very ring, syndicate,
unholy alliance—or whatever other
name may he given to it—of which the
Constitution is the organ, will cease
to respect the Democratic party organ
ization of the State the very moment
they fail to control it. And that day
is coming; mark the prediction.
have received similar inquiries from
other gentlemen, and I therefore re
spond to yours the more readily. It
is the right of the members of the
party to have all desired informa
tion from me concerning myself in
this connection. I have bceu during
my whole public life an unwavering
adherent of the Democratic party.
I presume it goes .without' saying
that my candidacy will be submitted
to the decision of the State conven
tion of the party, and that I will cer
tainly abide its judgment, fairly
made. I have no reason to antici
pate, and do not anticipate, that it
will he made in any other way.
It is due to myself to state that,
while I hold to the light of each
member of the party to aspire to its
favors, still there may be circnm-
stjnees when this individual right
is with propriety surrendered)
There are meu in the State, whom,
by reason of their age and distin
guished position, 1 would not vol
untarily antagonize; blit when a po
sition of candidacy has been assum
ed by me months before any an
nouncemeut or hint of an opposing
candidacy by any of this class of
venerable and distinguished citizens,
Ihe Biihseqnent announcement of
such candidacy on their pari, creates
an anlagonism for which i am in no
wise responsible—an antagonism
not created or sought by me, but
which on the contrary has been
thrust upon me, without the least
recognition of any slight considera
tion of such priority on my part,
and with evident disregard of, and
indifference to it.
Party association is the voluntary
act of the citizen, and must of neces
sity be based upon the full recogni-
lion of the perfect equality of all its
members. It is the equal right of
each member to aspire to the prefer
ment of the party without waiting
first to obtain the open or implied
assent of any other member who
may assume directly or indirectly to
grant or withhold his sanction. It
is the correlative eqnal right or each
member to determine for himself,
according to his own best judgment,
who are the proper persons to re
ceive his support for such prefer
ment of the party, without the di
rection or implied dictation of other
■nemherB of the party, who may as
sume to shape its policy and to regu
late and prescribe the bestowraent
ot its favors.
Republican government is espe
cially designed to take power away
from the few and confide it to the
many. Political parties uuder our
form of government mnst, withiu
their legitimate sphere, bold this de
sign as a fundamental principle.
Political parties necessarily control
governments. It has ever been so
both iu this country and in those of
Europe that contain any element of
popular government. ' Those de
ceive themselves, and dujie -others,
who dream of-a government that
shall ignore the influence and con
trol of political parties. Such par-
lies flourish and fall, and for the
time the dividing lines may be con
fused and indistinguishable, hut
the universal experience is that new
parties immediately arise upon the
ruins. If, therefore, political parties
control governments, the control of
such political parties by one man,
or a small number combined togeth
er, is directly subversive of this
fundamental principle of republican
government, which places power in
the hands of the many and denies it
to the favored or grasping few". The
most daugerous and extreme power
known to free government _ is that
found in the hands of an individual,
or cabal, who succeed in subordinat
ing the masses of the political partv
administering the government, and
who use the power of the party, thus
given by these masses, to decree the
performance of their individual de
signs. It is destructive of the prin
ciples of free government; it is a
practical operation of the worst fea
tures of despotic -government; it is
ignobly surrendering to one man or
a cabal a royal power, while deny
ing to them the dignity and respon
sibility of the kingly office.
It matters not that the men thns
seeking control may be good men
or wise men. It is not the purpose
or the interest of our people to con
centrate all the good or all the wis
dom in the favored few, but on the
contrary it is that they should be dif
fused among the masses; and for
one, I am not ready to take the pow
er and responsibility of government
from the people of all degrees to
whom it of right belongs, and, in
fact, or in effect, place the royal pur
ple upon any man or set of men, I
care not how wise and how good he
or they may be.
Nor does it avail that the intent to
dictate and control is disclaimed. If,
for any reason the power exist in an
individual, or a few combined indi
viduals, to exercise an undue ar.d
disproportioned influence in the se
lection of an officer amounting al
most to the decision of the choice to
be made, and such power is exercis
ed, the practical effect npon the lib
erty of choice by the members of the
party is the same, as if such power
was exercised with the most despot
ic and tyrannical intent.' Power
begets power; power draws to it
self other power, and before this
combined power individual strength
avails bnt little and fears to brave
it. Aspirants for office hesitatingly
wait its approval, and expectants of
future favors cower before its slight
est menace. It is assumed that the
masses will snbmitto its detrees,
and when a decision has been reach
ed by the combined Ipowersjin anti
cipation ofsncb submission, it is con
fidently announced that the, people
faTor the decision, when no' oppor
tunity has been had to ascertain
their will. With each submission
the party practically loses its free
dom. With proper resistance such
power will be destroyed, as were
burst asunder the cords that boimd
the sleeping giant.
Republican institutions, properly
administered, are strongly eoudu-
civffto the growth of character and
the development of intellect. II is
the theory of such institutions that a
man’s advancement depends upon-
a candidate made by the assumed
leadcrof Ihe party; the road to office
will not lie through tho domain of
honorable emulation for superior
fitness, but only through the favor
of those who assume to dispense the
hoiiors of the party. ’Then will the
young tacit, and the mann er men of
the Democratic parly of Georgia,
those whose unfaltering fidelity lo
their' people and their party
redeemed the State from the
ilcspoilers, and who, iu a de
cade of untiring labor, have
raised the State to her present
point of political and financial
prosperity, these men, wiio deserve
well of their party and who have
right to aspire with Confidence to
the offices in the various depart
ment of the Stale, these men must
either surrender all reasonable hope
of official preferment, or “crook ihe
pregnant hinges of the knee that
thrift may fo.low fawning.’’ I be
lieve it is honorable for one to as
pire iu a legitimate way to office
1 beliove that, in a party of equals,
it is the right of any member to pre
fer his claim for the consideration
of the party, and that it is the right
of the party to consider all claims so
preferred, upon the merits of the
candidates for their favor, without
having their judgment and the ex
pression »f their preference ham
pered and forestalled by the virtual
dictation of those whom circuit)
stances may make for the time the
loaders of the pari}’. The leaders
of a parlv undoubtedly have a right
to participate iu making the selee
lion of those who are lo he honored
By it; but such participation should
be as members, amljuot as command
ers of the party .Jin this capacity alone
can their support be legitimately
sought, and in this capacity alone
should their influence be allowed.
I believe the office of goveruoi is
the highest honor that the people of
the State can confer on one of their
fellow-citizens. There are other of
ficers of larger emolument, the pro
per discharge ol the duties of which
is less exacting and laborious,, but
there is no other office withiu the
gift of the people invested with such
high and solemn responsibilities af
fecting the material social and poli
tical welfare of the State. In pro
portion to the height of the honor
thus conferred should be the depth
of the appreciation of him who re
ceives it; and according to the mag
nitude of Ihe responsibilities of the
office, in the same measure should
be tile profound realization of the
obligation imposed to devote all of
liis energies, and to give his undi
vided lime aud attention to the earn
est discharge of its grave, varied
and complicated duties.. It is not an
office of ornament, but of practical
duties; it isnotonc of ease, but of
assiduous labor; and he who asks it
at the bauds of the people should do
so with the full knowledge that of
right lie should be held Iq the most
rigid observance of all- the obliga
tions and duties of this high and
solemn trust.
I am, sir, yours very truly,
A. O. Bacon.
CADET FINLEY’S SUICIDE.
Captain Ramsay Declared Moral
ly Responsible for file Sad Event.
An Annapolis special says: “There
is strong feeling among the cadets
over the suicide of Cadet Finley, of
Ohio. Finley belonged to the class
of’SO, and was just finishing up his
final examinations. The subjects
included in this exami
nation arc naval tactics, sea
manship, gunnery, theory of na
vigation, practical navigation aud
French. Cadet Finley was subject
to fits of despondency, aud threaten
ed more than once previously lo
take his life, being fearful that lie
would,not be able lo pass the severe
examination, and dreading the con
sequent disgrace. When he readi
ed Annapolis, after the cruise, he
did very well with the examination
till he reached the subject of gun
nery, in which he has been badly
deficient He was engaged to he mar
ried and was very much afraid of
having to return to his borne and
sweetheart in Bucyrus, Ohio, with
out being a full-fleedged naval offi
cer. The following accouut of this
tragic incident, whicli differs mate
rially from the “official’’ statement
telegraphed from here on Tuesday,
was given by one of Finley’s class
mates, a young gentleman who has
just finished the examinations with
credit to himself and who wonld
scorn to give any but what he con
sidered an absolutely truthful ac
count. ‘Our class strongly believe.’
said this cadet, ‘that Captain Ram
say is morally responsible for poor
Finley’s death. The final examina
tions this year have been unusually
severe—much harder than they have
ever been known before. Finley
was always fearful of the ordeal, but
we did all we could to cheer him
up. Gnnnery was too much for him,
and he threw up that subject entire
ly and took a zero. This disconrag-
ed him greatly, 'and in one of his
bad moods he sat down and wrote
his resignation and sent it to the Su
perintendent. He told me afterward
that after he had sent the resignation
he received letters from home that
cheered him np and gave him new
heart. Under this inspiration he
went to Captain Ramsay and asked
leave to withdraw his resignation.
Captain Ramsay replied, be told me,
that he might withdraw his resig
nation, bnt that he would in that
case_give him a zero in one or more
of his studies and recommend his
dismissal from the academy. Finley
then told him, of conrse, that he
would let the resignation stand.’’

The Atlanta Post-Appeal ot Fri
day contained the distressing news
of the'suicide of Pi-ofl \Yin. Land,
of that cify, iiv.his laboratory, near
midnight,. Thursday. He-, was . Otic
of the most eminent chemists in the
United States, ail'd his fuiiie at one
lime extended into Europe. - He wire
a victim of ' the.-'dreadful-opium
habit, which has been draggin gddnp
down for some years. The account
in'Hie Post-Appeal is mosf horrible,
and for its peculiarity tve copy the
details of the means resorted to by
thepc-orman:
A shuddering spectacle confront
ed the searchers in the prostrate and
blood-besmeared body of Prof. Land
Ihe crimson tide o£*whose live hat],
ebbed away- and loft its mortal bark
stranded on the shore of eternity. He
was reclining oii his back on a pallet,
near the window, attired in his
night clothing, and had a small piece
of carpeting spread over his lower
limbs. His right arm, iu the hand
of which was grasped flic fatal tvea
p»n that had signalled his desperate
end, rested upon his breast, with the
muzzle of the pistol pointing to his
throat. Behind the right ear a tin}-
!)<>!:-, from which the blood and brains
filtered sluggishly, told its own mute
slnry of the tragedy.
But that was not all: A blood
stained blade was discovered on the
tl nor close beside the dead body, and
search for its work found the artery
in the left arm severed ; and if this
were not enough, a couple of grad
uate glasses were discovered near
by. which had possibly contained the
suicide’s usual dose ol that slowly
fatal drug—morphine—and the im
pression was made at once that at
least two methods, either of which
would have proved fatal, had been
adopted to end life.
The account of the Post-Appeal is
concluded by the following informa
tion :
From Dr. J. S. Pemberton, of Pem
berton, Iverson & Co,, on Wail street,
is gathered the- most authentic ac
count of the suicide’s early life and
struggles, aifdlnsearly triumphs in
the science to which he became a de
voted slave. Dr. Pemberton says
that he came to him in Columbus in
1858, a poor young man with no
trade and no means of gaining a
support. He wa3 given a position
in the drag store, and was so studi
ous and attentive as to attract the
notice of his employer and enlist his
encouragement. In his researches
into the mysteries oi the hooks he
was given to read, he developed an
inclination and a genius, fur chemis
try, seeing which lie was supplied
with such, books and. apparatus as
his advance in the Science required,
and so rapidly did lie .acquiro a
.knowledge of its mysteries; and so
entirely was he engrossed in it that
in 1862 he was deemed competent to
Lake charge of a department iii’the
Government Laboratory in’ Colum
bia, S. C., where he remained natil
the close of the .war. , Returning
then to Columbus,-he' again eiitei-cd
the drug establishment of Dr. Pem
berton, who, recognizing his ability,
built a laboratory for him. In 1SG9
Dr. Pdfciberton moved to Atlanta
bringing his protege with him, and
built the laboratory in which lie last
night brought about his tragic cud
So great was his confidence in the
voting student that Dr. Pemberton
turned over the laboratory to him,
giving him his own time in which to
pay for it. His reputation extend
ing aud he being made State Chem
ist his analytical business came to
him from all quarters and he was
kept constantly employed. He made
thousands, of dollars, out of which,
remembering his patron, - lie paid
every dollar for the laboratory and
called it his own. It was his idol,
and its fascinations lured him iu the
end to destruction, (or he would he
confined within its walls days and
nights, eating irregularly sleeping
irregularly, scarcely everi' breathing
a breath of fresh pure air.
Physically delicate by nature the
strain of years, of study and experi
ment told upon him, and in 1874 he
resorted to the nse of . morphine to
sooth the pains of his patient and la
borious devotion to his work made
him heir to. A victim to the drug
he attempted to take his life about
two years and a-half agoby an over
dose of an opium antidote which he
had been nsing in the hope
of curiDg himself of tho habit
Failing in the attempt, . about
six months J after he - in
formed his friends that he was go
ing to New York, and' nothing was
heard of him .for sometimes, until
the American representative at Lon
don sent word to Gov. Colquitt of
his presence there and it was learn
ed that he had taken passage for
London, and on the way there at
tempted to cut his throat. Ho was
taken to a hospital for the insane
until his wife went over and brought
him home. Since then he appeared
to improve, and only night before
last Dr. Pemberton saw him, when he
of his prospects. A slave to opium,
however, his business gradually
dropped off, and in his rude pallet
on the musty floor in the chemically
fame poisoned room, with night-
wandering vermin, tlienoiseless com
panions of his solitude, he passed
bis dismal night away in fretful
dreams of happier days and-of a val-
nable lost through tlie Upas-like
hold of a faithful bibit.
He leaves a lovely wife and two
bright little children, havinginarri-
a daughter of Mr. Melson, of Jones
