,ft cal laws hurtful in their natures and
application.
We think some distinction should
be made by the people between stock
jobbing syndicates aud honest railroad
managements w*blch do a legitimate
railroad business; and the latter
should not be hampered by reasou ol
the sins of the former. While rail
roads are in a sense the servants of the
people, they should not be worked in
chains.
The News and Advertiser is satis
fied that the protection of the people
can be compassed by laws directed at
such offences against honesty and fair
dealing without enacting unfriendly
laws general In their application to
all a railroads.
The press of the country owes it to
every relation it sustains to teach this
discrimination between wrong and
right, and encourage the enactment of
such law s as w ill recognize honest ndl-
road management, but restrain the
dishonest practices of stock jobbing
syndicates.
Georgia Is almost eutirely free from
the evils above detailed, and a recogni
tion of it by her people would inure
to their best permanent interest.
Politics certainly assumes funny
shapes, and Governor Smith’s sudden
summersault is not the only comical
feature of this canvass. A recent
change in tiie tactics of tiie Atlanta
Constitution is equally queer. After
it was discovered that the executive
committees of so many counties were
disregarding the suggestion of General
Gordon and pursuing their usual line
of actiou, and that the State Demo
cratic Executive Committee “left the
people of eacn county to determine for
themselves the manner of selecting
delegates,” aud that mass meetings
seemed to be the V>pular method, then
the Constitution adopted a new line of
warfare. All along It lias said Bacon
and his friends were afraid of prima
ries. In Its issue of Tuesday it says:
They are afraid of the delib
erate judgment of the people in tin-
court house meetings.” We are grati
fied, to know that the Constitution final
ly admits that the people can arrive at
a “deliberate judgment” Iu a mass
meeting. From Its former utterances
the conclusion was that the people
would not be .allowed a “deliberate
judgment” in a court house meeting,
but their voice would be throttled by
the artful legerdemaiu of *some imag
inary town clique. The admission that
the sense of. the people can be had,
even“deliberately,” in a mass meeting,
is a great concession on the part of the
Constitution. Perhaps it will now
to make war on the long estab
lished usages and practices of the par
ty, and before the campaign is over it
way-be candid enough to admit that
its plan of a uniform system of prima
ries throughout the whole State was an
impracticable suggestion.
There is much said abont Major
Campbell Wallace these days, and an
pt is made to prove that Gen. Gor-
Isa better friend of the Commis-
sion than Major Bacon because Major
Wallace favors Gen. Gordon for Gov
ernor. ^ We do not know that Individ
ual preferences mean much in this
campaign. Dr. Felton, the great de
fender of the Commission,' in the last
Legislature, favors Bacon, and is not
not afraid of him. Nor is it true that
Major Campbell Wallace is perfect in
|» te “fjnm&oent. What were his views in
regard to the “fraudulent bonds?”
Major Wallace advocated the compro
mise of those hoods. Mr. Wadley was
the only prominent railroader in Geor
gia who opposed payment. The Geor
gia bond question became a national
one. The whole Northern press (and
it was popular to be pleasing to the
North) advocated the payment of the
Illegal bonds. On this question bisto-
m I. W. Avery says: “Perhaps the
ngest speech made in favor of
throwing over the fraudnlont securi
ties was by the Hou. A. O. Bacon. His
portrayal of the Bullock Legislature
was a graphic picture, and his argu
ment against the bad bonds was mas-
ly *nd conclusive.”

We clip the following from the
Americus Becorder:
As there has been some dispute here
as to how Hon. A. O. Bacon stands
upon the question of maintaining the
present Railroad Commission law,
three of our citizens addressed him a
letter upou the subject.
Americus, Ga., May 22.1S8G.
Hon A. O. Bacon, Macon Ga.:
Dear Sir—Are you In favor of the
Railroad Com mission as now organ
ized, and will you sustain them in the
event of your election as Governor of
this State? Please answer.
• R. H. Slkdgk,
J. D. Shepherd,
L. B. Bos worth,
To this inquiry they received the
following reply:
Macon, Ga., May 26th, 1886.
B. H. Sledge, Americus, Ga.
My Dear Sir:—Yours of the 22»1;
signed by yourself and others, came
duly to hand. I have sent you a pajier
containing a letter from me ou the
Railroad Commission. I am in favor
of maintaining it with full unimpaired
powers, and if elected will sustain
them faithfully and earnestly. Yours,
very truly, A. O. Bacon.
Attorney-General Garland had
finally to succumb to the romantic sen
timents of the President, and - he did,
for tiie first time, appear in a swallow-
tai 1 at the President’s wedding. We
all recall- the funny entree of Senator
Brown in his “court costume”. The
weather was cold, and' fearing to wear
lighter material than was his dally cus
tom, the prudeut Sei ator ordered his
tailor to make the “dress” coat of
heavy heaver. This was done. As

The Savannah Netos thinks there Is
nothing deeper dowu iu this canvass
than iMir^oiiallsm, which is merely a
surface disturbance. Perhaps so. But
great fights within the party—shocks
like that of 1831), and repeated iu this
campaign—do not leave matters as
they fouud them. 'Forces courinually
at work %o create division and disturb
party unity finally prevail. Those
who threatened to make this campaign
like that of 1880 probably took the vie\y
of the Xeies, that personal fights iu tiie
party, howsoever bitter, did no injury
so long as great principles are not in
volved. But parties divide and go to
pieces over individuals as often as over
principles.
The West gives indications of a de
sire to put a stop to so much foreign
immigration. The Western journal
calls for a change in the immigration
law’s. This couutry has received “all
sorts’ * from •»broad. It has been not only
au asylum for the oppressed, but the
refuge oi the law breaker, the socialist,
the dynamiter, the murderer, in short
for the vicious as well as the good, of
other countries. The conduct of the
Chicago socialists has aroused public
sentiment on this question.
The Atlanta Constitution has much
to say about the Clarke county mass
meeting, which -was regularly called
aud due notice given. The meeting,
Phi, was hehl during court week when
the opportunity is good for a respect
able turn out. Called early, before tiie
excitement began, t.ie turn out was
not very large. But we have never
seen any complaint made by the Dt>m-
ocrats of Clarke. If Clarke county is
satisfied why should others care or in
terfere?
The Savannah Xews says: * We
may be permitted to remark, however,
that there can hardly he any great dif
ference between Gen. Gordon and Maj.
Bacon relative to the Railroad Comis
sion law, since Dr. Felton aud ex-Gov.
Smith, two champions of the law, are
arrayed against each other, one for
Gen. Gordon aud the other for Maj.
Bacon; or can it be that there are
things iu this campaign that we know
uot of? -
The wires announce the death of
John Kelly-. At one tune John Kelly
was regarded a* a disturber by the
Georgia people. But events have vin
dicated him. He was a true man and
a gennine Democrat. He must have
been a man of wonderful executive
skill to have remained so long the

right, and that bis object was to heal
adiseasedlimb of the body politic. Is
all the State how likewise diseased ?
If so, when did it become so? Is it
trhe that onr party system is honey
combed with corruption, and that
court house ringsters have control of
the whole party machinery,
are attempting to stifle the voice
of the people ? The very suggestion is
an absurdity.
Allow that the Seventh district was
physician,
Does that prove that all Georgia is dis
eased now, and must be similarly
treated? Dr. Felton cried out Wolf!
Wolf! and seceded and ran independ
ent. The remedy of the new physi
cians seems to be to cry oat, WolfI
Wolf! all along the line within the
party, and to frighten the unthinking
and the unwary into the belief that
“court house rings,” county “execu
tive committees” and “tow;n cliques”
have banded together to deprive the
masses of their political rights. Why
tliis wholesale charge? Does such a
state of affairs exist? Is the whole
party diseased? None know bet er
than those who make it the falsity of
such a charge.
Talk about “infamous” practices in

Thx Savannah Morning Xeies ob
jects editorially to the importation of
Gen. Lee’s saddle to Georgia for Gen.
Gordon’s use in this campaign. Iu the
Virginia campaign party lines were
drawn, and the saddle helped to rescue
the State from Republican rule. But
the News says ours is a contest within
the party, and simply a fight over the
candidates, and the introduction of the
saddle will only embitter factions
within our own party. For our part,
we think the introduction of the sad
dle as an aid to Gen. Gordon is far
objectionable than the ferocious at
tacks which have been made against
the usages and practices of the party
which have prevailed ever since its or
ganization after the war. This cry of
fraud, of throttling tiie voice of the
people, all of which is, in the main,
without foundation, thus destroying
the confidence of the people in the only
organization we have, is a blow, wheth
er designed or not, which strikes at
the very root of organized democracy.
'fire people of Georgia have been
fully satisfied with the management
of the State road under Gov. Brown
It has been preserved as an indepen
dent trunk line. It was at one time in
danger of being gobbled up and stript
of its independency as a trunk line by
the Louisville and Nashville, which
bought up so many lease shares. This
may have been the advice of their
General-Adviser.” Gov. Brown
thwarted the attempt by forming an
alliance with the Central road, it is
very important into whose hands the
road falls, for in these matters, as iu
many others, the Governor has a wide
discretion.
On decoration day Gen. Grant’s
tomb, at Riverside Park, was a com
mon rallying place. It will be the ft?-
neral^Mecca of the North. Floral fcrib-
butes from many States, and even from
Mexico, ponred in throughout the day.
The decoration of this tomb was made
an event. There was great pomp and
ceremony. Roscoe Conkling was
there, and Gen. Logan was the orator
of the day. Minute guns from the
warships anchored under the bluff
fired their salutes. Upou the platform
were Gens. Sheridan, Schofield and
Sickles. It was a great day at River
side Park.
The action of the officials of Snmter
county, taking fright at the charge of
“ringsters,” and coming out in a card
declaring themselves no part or lot of
the Imaginary ring, bat genuine
friends of the people, while very
amusing, yet teaches something.
Other counties are as free from the
charge as Sumter. Perhaps no county

properly analyzed how foolish is this
charge of organized frand ? Read what

For Southern farmers the ontlook is

Then, too, the Democrats will have

The visit of ex-President Davis to
Alabama and Georgia, the object of
which was so noble, so soul-inspiring,
and In design so harmless, will be vile

never meant.
The ever vigilant Republicans will
make much capital out of what is called
“the revival of the war spirit of the
South,” occasioned by a turn given to
Mr. Davis’s visit, which, while simply
local in its application and effect, will
impose upon the party a national res-

Something, however, may tarn up.

Dr. John H. Vincent, in the Forum,
most truthfully says: “To teach hon
estly is to be a student, and that nnder
most favorableconditions; for to teach,
one must know*; must kuow more than
he expects to teach; must know liow
so to ‘put’ knowledge as to bring other
minds into a receptive aud active state
towards knowledge; and must him
self feel that inspiration which comes
from contact between eager minds—
mimls eager to kuow and minds eager
to quicken aud communicate. ,
The result of the battle on Tuesday
was* a victory for Gordon. Elections
were held by primaries and mass
meetings. Fraud Is only report
ed from one couuty, that is,
Carroll. The mass meeting had
been coded to elect an executive com
mittee and to agree upon the time and
holding the election. The
meeting went to work icstauter
and elected Gordon delegates.
The Constitution is now attackin
Dr. Felton for his iudepeudeutism
yeais ago. If -there existed “little
court house rings and cliques,” which
stifled the voice of the people as the
Constitution now declares did exist, aud
still exists all over Georgia, then Dr.
Felton was right. To use a favorite
expression of the Constitution, “There
is nothing like giving tiie people a
hearing!”
It is said that the Vermont Republi
cans are about to skotcb Senator Kd-
munds’s presidential aspirations by
having the Republican State Conven
tion endorse Edmunds for Senator
upon the understanding thathe w ill not
permit his name to go before tiie next
Presidential Convention. Blaine is
still at work. ‘

A few words to the farmers of this section is, we deem, necessary from us at this time, and
ai- the season draws nigh we wi'l have mote to say upon this subject. We have leased the old
-ims-Iiurtt Warehouse, lately occupied- by Wight, Davis ft Co., and propose doing a
STKICTLV WAKKHOIAE IS l.M NESS. A warehouse where every planter con-
troll* hi* own totton, either selling the same himself, or having it sold by us, FREE OF
CH.tKGE, having only to pay for weighing and storage after first month. Onr bnsiness
will l»e in the strictest sense of the term, WAREHOEnEBEN, and we will have no “side
issues'* to conflict in any way with the faithful discharge of the same. Our aim will be to
serve the Planter to the very best of our ability, making ev ry “edge cut” where we can so as
to serve him evonon icatly with '‘Live and Let Live” ever in view.
In con “In? ion we invite a trial, fueling assured that we-wil! please you, one and all.
