Tlie Senate Kuilroad Bill.
Elsewhere in this issue will be found

of the railroad commission law, re

railroads. We publish it for the in

ions of the bill, as we read it, seem to
he perfectly fair to both railroads and
people.
It gives to railroads the right to
make their own schedule of rates,
which rates are to be just and reasona

cities of the State, and a copy is to be

One Season Why the Bailroads Are
Unpopular.
One reason why the railroads have
become so unpopular in Georgia, and
why some people have grown to re
gard railroads as enemies rather than
friends to the public generally is, that
railroad men are, as a rule, so pom
pous, crabbed and unaccommodating.
Pomposity, condescending manners
and curtness of speech have got to be
characteristics of railroad agents and
department officials especially, and
the same characteristics are also often,
though not so generally, found in the
conductors. Conductors are, as anile,
mechanically courteous, but it is not
so with the ticket agent, the freight

Does the House mean to take up tlie

Should the decision of the matter be
unsatisfactory to either party, an ap
peal is allowed the dissatisfied party to
the Superior Court, to be decided under
tlie regulations affecting equity cases
in said courts. Appeal from the Supe
rior Court to the Supreme Court will
lie as in other cases—except that cases
arising under this bill have precedence
of all other cases.
This amendatory bill seems to us to
be perfectly fair to all parties at inter
est, as it puts them on a footing of
equality before the law. Possibly,
under its operations—if It should be
come the law—Albany would be«able
to compel a recognition of her right to
the cheap rates to which she is entitled
by reason of being a competitive rail
road point. She has never been able
to win this recognition from either the
railroads or the Commission under tlie
law as at present constituted. If the
railroads should fall to give her the
benefit of competitive rates in making
their schedules, then an effort should
be made to enforce such “just aud
reasonable rates” by successive ap
peals until the right is gained. The
interests of Albany demand a change.
It seems utterly indefensible that
any class of property in Georgia
should be denied the right of appeal to
tlie courts. The fear that either party
would fail to get justice by such appeal
is not really a showing against tlie
right of appeal, but an attack on
the rectitude of the courts. {Such an
attack is not justified by the records
of the higher courts of this State.
Despised law.
It is stated that the Czar of Russia
has issued a ukase against duelling in
hl3 dominions. Tlie penalty for violat
ing this decree is bauisbment for life
to Siberia—the icy wilderness in which
tiie victims of Romanoff wrath drag
out a hopeless existence.
There is a law in Georgia against
sending or carrying a challenge, and
tlie penalty for violating it is disfran
chisement witli disability to hold office
iu the State, and liability to the pains
and penalties affixed to murder, in tlie
event of the slaying of an antagonist.
The imperial decree in Russia against
this murderous custom amounts to
something, in that semi-civilized
country, people challenge each other
to fight duels, and they are in dead
earnest about it. The combatants do
not go about the preliminaries in un
open and blustering way in order to
attract the attention of the authorities
and mutual fricuds, and tlieu retire to
some public place, to await the setting
on foot of measures to put a stop to
the intended conflict. “The code” in
Russia means blood; and every year
it leads to numbers of untimely deaths
in the broad dominions of the Czar.
But his decree will effectually banish
this relic of barbarism to more preten
tious countries. Strange as it may
seem, the laws, such as thej' are, are
more uniformly enforced in Russia
than in Georgia.
There isn’t as much need of a law
here as there is there, to repress mur
der according to “the code.” Duel
ling in Georgia partakes only of the
nature and characteristics of the
‘Lincoln rehearsal.” But even this
makes the foolish parties engaged iu
tlie farce amenable to the penalty for
sending or accepting a challenge. Is
the penalty ever enforced ? There isn’t
an instance on record, in the State, in
which the law has taken its course
against violators.
So it is evident that the proud State
of Georgia may learn something to its
credit, in the matter of enforcing law,
from the much abused methods of Al
exander of Russia. Let the law lie
enforced.
contend with them to say if it is not
well deserved. There are, of course,
some exceptions, but the exceptions
are so scarce as to make it very re
freshing to meet one of them. It is
really unpleasant to have to transact
business with some of them. Railroad
men ought to be as civil and courteous
as other people, aud it would not be
amiss if they were sometimes even ac
commodating. The News and Adver
tiser doesn’t charge the managing
officials of the railroads of the State,
who arc now desirous of bringing
about a better state of feeling
between the corporations they repre
sent and the people, for telling them
that they could make a long stride in
that direction by overhauling their
agents and department officers and
giving them to understand that they
must lie civil at all times and accoin
modating when they can. A railroad
agent can make his company popular
or unpopular In his community. If
he is as cross as a bear aud stands more
upon the dignity and authority of his
position than upon tlie established cus
toms of all men in other branches of
business his road will soon have but
few friends in his little dominion who
will be ready to speak up for it.
The Galvestou News states that
“conservative people” estimate tlie
present cotton crop of Texas at
1,306,000 bales. This would be the
largest crop ever made in the State.
Georgians crop will likely be in excess
of a million bales, though it will fall
below that of Texas.

The Truth of History.
Thursday’s Constitution contained a
long article from a Tennessean de
fending President Andrew Johnson
from the ridiculous charge that Gen
eral Grant stood between his fury and
the paroled Confederates, during the
former’s term in office. The people of
the South have but little reason, if
any, for respecting' tlie memory of
Andy Johnson; but the defence in
question doesn’t seem to be needed.
Tlie mere fact that the Jacobinical
Republicans tried to remove Jolinsou
from office by impeachment, while
they selected Graut as tlieir clioseu
leader, is sufficient to settle tlie ques
tion as to which of tlie two men they
looked upon as tlie peculiar friend of
tlie Confederates.
Romance makes very nice reading,
beyond question; but when one seeks
to carry it to the extreme of represent
ing Graut as standing, in heroic atti
tude, between Johnson’s vengeance
and a fallen foe it is too much. The
impeachment proceedings and Grant’s
nomination forbid such romantic
trifling with the truth of history.
The Southern papers that wept over
the bier of General Grant, witli a view
to winning tlie confidence and esteem
of the Northern people aud “restoring
the union” in fact as well as in name,
will see from John Sherman’s speech
at Mt. Gilead, Ohio, that tlieir tears
and entreaties were all wasted. The
News and Advertiser told them, at
the time, that it was a silly invest
ment. There is no way in which the
Northern musses can be placated ex
cept by base renegadism. The good
will of no people is worth having, if it
mus* come at tlie sacrifice of honest
convictions and manly self-respect.
Let the weepers consider this fact.
The factories of the United States
are limited almost entirely to the mar
kets of this country. As a conse
quence, when run on full time, they
can in six months meet the demands
for a full year’s supply of goods, as
leading manufacturers, themselves,
have testified. This fact forces one of
two conclusions: The manufacturers
must either find a foreign market for
half of their productions, or else num
bers of them must go out of the busi
ness. In other words, tariff restric
tions on trade witli other countries
must be vastly modified, or manufac
turing in the country will go back
ward. This is a plain case.
The absurdity of the gush about “the
burial of sectionalism and the bloody
sliirt in the grave of Grant” is again
illusirated by the bitter and revenge
ful resolutions of the Iowa Republican
convention. It is all right. We want
to see even tlie gushers of tlie South
convinced that they gain nothing but
contempt by playing tlie spaniel game
in the face of the whole country. The
good will of Northern Republicans
can be won only by embracing politi
cal baseness and, for one, we don’t
want it. Their ill will, at the price
they put upon it, is an honorable and
gratifying possession.
The Republican candidate for Gov
ernor of Ohio repeats the silly false
hood that the electoral power of the
South was increased by forty votes by
the enfranchisement of the negroes.
The South had representation in the
electoral college on two-thirds ol the
negro population before the war; and
so it is evident to all honest aud sensi
ble men that the increase resulting
from the enfranchisement was only
one-tliird of what Foraker represents
it to be. Republican statesmen are
intentional frauds, and Foraker seems
to be something worse.
Bismarck is the national bully of
Europe. Kings, Queens and Cabinets
are all afraid of him. If he thinks the
terror of his name as potent on this
side of the Atlantic as on his side of it
just let him go ahead with the Cuban
business. Germany’s head was com
pletely turned by the overthrow of
France, and slie has started out on a
career of universal robbery and op
pression. She needs to be taught the
folly of this course and the United
States is able to give iier the lesson
when necessary.
A Chicago paper lias published a
dispatch from Liucoln, Nebraska,
“announcing that a man in that place
has discovered that the existence of a
human soul can be demonstated by
igicroscopic tests, aud that the soul
has the shape, diuieusious and other
characteristics pertainiug to the human
body.” This was intended to bd start
ling, we suppose, but it isn’t. Really,
it is the most natural thing in the
world that it should require the use of
a powerful microscope to reveal tlie ex
istence of a soul in the average mail in
Nebraska. Nothing better could be
expected iu a State that is hopelessly
Republican. Try to startle us in some
other way.
It is now stated that Bismarck has
his eyes on Cuba, and that he iutends
soon to have the German flag flying
over Moro Castle. This may or may
not be nonsense. The United States
is perfectly willing to leave Spain in
the possession of Cuba, but it would
raise very serious objections to the
forcible acquisition of the Queen of the
Antilles by Germany or any other
power. In tlie South, al least, it
wouldn’t lack much of being consider
ed a cause of war.
The belief that General Gordon is
still alive still prevails among military
men in England and a party is beiqg
organized to search for him in the
equatorial regions. The belief is un
reasonable, and tlie search for him
will be as fruitless as that for the
North Pole. But the purpose Is a
commendable one, for all that.
Sunday’s Atlanta Constitution con
tained a long and interesting inter
view with Jefferson Davis, the greatest
of living Southern meu. It maybe re
marked that Mr. Davis doesn’t devote
any of his time to General Toombs.
He is vastly superior to his enemies.
The comparison between him and
Geueral Toombs, as suggested by the
interviews witli them, is not credita
ble to the latter. Jefferson Davis is a
representative Southern man, and it
will be a shameless day when the
South fails to honor him.
Sam Cox and the Sultan of Turkey
have gotten together at last and had a
jolly time of it. Old Big Breeches
made Sam a preseut of a set of Turkish
jewelry which he probably filched
from some one of his many wives.
Gallant Samuel will of course return it
on the first opportunity. There is
nothing little about Sunset Cox.
Our wide-awake contemporary, the
A igusta Chronicle makes the fo low
ing remark: “Col. Tom Howard says
the best sheep on the earth are bred in
Southwest Georgia, also the most tooth
some beeves. But the poor white and
black men of the pine woods love their
dogs more than sheep.”
Col. R. Bachia commanded the
S7th N. Y. Regiment, during the war.
He and his command were captured
by the 21st Georgia Regiment. Now
the sou of Col. Bachia is advertising
for his father’s sword,which was taken
on the occasion, and has addressed a let
ter to Governor McDaniel on the sub
ject.
The Senate granted its temperance
committee “temporary leave of ab
sence,” the other day. It is to be
hoped that the members did not “go
out to see a man,” as fellows at the
theater are said to do, between the
acts.
A Weak Champion.
In Mr. Samuel Noble’s desperation
over the baneful results of the “theory
of free trade” on the South, he takes
the position that it not only keeps out
immigrants but causes an inability to
retain even the “natural increase” of
population. “Talk about a ‘bureau of
immigration,’” says he, “why,
we don’t retain the natural increase of
our own population.”
This the utterance of the great
Southern apostle of protection! It
shows how little regard such writers
have for troublesome facts. It is
notorious. that, according to the .last
census, the per centage of increase of
population was greater in the South
than in New England, where the
“theory of free trade” doesn’t seem to
have worked any damage according to
this new light in economic matters.
To come down to figures, Alabama’s
population increased, between 1870
a-id 1880, more than 26^ per cent.
The population of Georgia increased
during the same rime more than 30 per
cent. The average increase for the
whole South was more than 43 per
cent. And yet the readers of Dixie are
asked to believe that “we don’t retain
the natural increase of 4>ur own popu
lation and this dire fact is attribut
ed to the potency of the “theory of
free trade,” said to prevail among onr
leaders!
Our Augusta contemporary was
right in calling that a “remarkable”
contribution to current economic
literature. It is utterly unreliable in
its statements of facts, and its conclu
sions are unworthy of serious consider
ation. Surely protection ean find a
better champion than Mr. Samuel
Noble.
Food adulteration lias gone to such
an extreme in the United States as to
excite the apprehension of thoughtful
people, and to suggest the most
stringent State and Federal laws for
the extirpation of the evil. The
righteous soul of Commissioner of
Agriculture Coleman is properly stir-
red-up in the matter. Hanging would
not be too severe punishment for food
adulteration, in consideration of the
fearful consequences of such villainy.

There is no balm in remorse, if that
be the mental [state of the Jacobins
who perpetrated the crime against hon
orable and intelligent citizenship. If
the feeling be—as it more likely is—
one merely of chagrin at the defeat of
the purpose to have the persons, the
property and the rights of the white
people of the South dominated by
black barbarians, it illustrates the
truth that villainy is punished even in
this world. With increased political
power and intelligence in the lead, the
South is disposed to enjoy the discom
fiture of the political Jacobins of the
North.
It would be well for the friends of
the local option bill, in the various
counties of the State, to inquire of
their Representatives the meaning of
tlie strange and protracted sleep of
tiiat measure in the House. If the
bill is where it can be reached it should
be called up aud passed, so that the
vexed question may be kept out of
State politics next year. Too much
time has been spent on this measure to
justify its loss through the inertness of
its friends, to say nothing of the folly
of remanding tlie whole subject back
to chaos and uncertainty.
Dynamite explosions are becoming
alarmingly frequent throughout the
North. Tlie line of demarcation be
tween liberty aud license in that sec

The socialistic clement is rapidly ou
the increase, and disorder and violence
threaten a harvest of woes in the
nigh future. This state of affairs will
be the natural outcome of Republican
methods since the war. In trying to
enthrone ignorance and communism in
the South the barriers against social
ism in tlie North have been hopelessly
impaired.
The Devil seems to be loose iu this
country. Papers that publish such
things are full of accounts of murders,
suicides, and multitudinous barbari
ties and debaucheries, in which men of
previously good reputations often play
the part of chief villain. The man
that maintains his integrity, as did
Job, in the midst of all this wreck of
character aud honest purpose will do
well. It will be well for every man to
look to his defences, if there is to be
any stay from universal defection.
The Augusta Chronicle is trying to
discover why it is that professional

think, from the fact that they are un

haggard. The fellow that contracts to
be funny, at so much a day, simply
pays the penalty for unnaturalness,
aud the sentence is written on his woe
begone face.

The bill of Senator Brown to put
