and lusting benefit to the people of the
State than to enact a good, straight
forward collection law. Such a law
would remove tlie great barrier that
now' stands between the people of the
State and foreign capital, and would
not only make money easier to ob
tain, but would reduce the rate of in
terest.
It-ls the man of limited means who
has to borrow, and not the money
lender, who stands most in need of a
good, healthy collection law. The
man who has money to loan iu Geor
gia can, with the exercise of an abun
dance of caution, find reasonably safe
Investment for it at a high rate of In
terest. If he loans it at all he will,
uiue times out of ten-, exact usurious
interest, for the reason that, under the
operation of our detective anJ uncer
tain collection system, capital is timid
and the demands of the borrowing
class‘are^al ways in excess of tlie sup
ply of in ouey that the limited number
of lenuei£iiave on hand or are willing
to Invest in view of the uncertainties
and delays of the law.
A majority of the farmers and busi
ness men of Georgia are money bor
rowers. Any law that would have a
tendency to increase the supply of
money and reduce tlie rate of interest
would, therefore, be greatly to their
benefit. A good collection law would
accomplish this for them just as cer
tainly as cause produces effect. When
ever it became known that the laws of
the State required tlie payment of
just debts and made the debtor’s prop
erty liable for bis debts, then capital
w'ould come here for investment, and a
man could borrow money to the ex
tent of the value of liis property, at a
reasonable rate of interest.
Uuder our present system a man has
to be comparatively rich to have any
credit. The poor man who is compell
ed to borrow' not only has no credit,
but has no collateral. He may have a
house and lot or a farm, but this is
not good collateral to the extent of
anything like its value. It is bard to
foreclose a mortgage and sell property
under the existing law's of this State
whenever the debtor undertakes to
fight the claim or avail himself of the
law’s delay, first under one pretext and
tlieu another.
As has already been said, the bor
rowing or debtor class is largely In the
majority in this State. For this
sou legislation in tavor of this class
has been popular ever since the war.
But our Legislatures have made
mistake. The policy that has been
pursued has bad a tendency to op
press rather than benefit the debtor.
It has had tlie < fleet of shaking confi
dence and making capital timid. It
has deprived the man of small means
of all credit and conferred it upon
the man of wealth who does uot ueed
it.

The Bay State Club, tlie most im

New' England, eutertained a uumber
of distinguished gentlemen at their
annual dinuer in Boston on last Sat
urday afternoon. Chief among the
guests was Hon. J. G. Carlisle,
Speaker of the House of Representa
tives. President Taylor presided at
the banquet, and, in a brief speech,
introduced Mr. Carlisle, whose chief
virtue, lie said, was that he bad been
denounced by Senator Hoar. Mr.
Carlisle's speech was confined tnaiuly
to a discussion of the question of
States rights and the tendency to dan
gerously enlarge the powers of the
Federal Government. He concluded
his remarks with the following state
ment of true Democratic sentiment on
the tariff: “It is uot my purpose,
gentlemen, to discuss tlie revenue
question upon this occasion. It is too
large as yet to be presented fully iu
the time at my disposal, aud too im
portant a subject to be treated hastily,
It Is enough to say—and I say It In
conclusion—that iu my judgment the
government has no moral or legal
right to impose taxes upon its citizens
except for tlie purpose of raising re
venue to defray its necessary expen
ses and pay . its just debts. [Loud
cheering.] Whenever it goes beyond
this It disregards, in my opinion, the
plain purpose for which the power of
taxation was conferred npon it [loud
applause], and 1 believe'this is the
doctrine of an overwhelming ma
jority of the American citizens.”

State dinner guests have thought it an

that she did not move her gloves.

In column of this morning
News and Advertiser will be found
a notice issued by the Central Railroad
and Banking Company withdrawing
all Inter-State rates. This action
rendered necessary by the Inter-State
Commerce Act, which goes into effect
in April, anil for the violation of
which a penalty is fixed on the rail
roads by the operation of tlie law.
The President will, doubtless, have
the commission formed before the law-
goes into effect, and that commission
will have tlie good sense to allow
tlie railroads to operate under their
old rates until time be had to effect au
understanding, thus averting what
threatens to be a public calamity.
It would result in a great public iu
convenience aud loss to dealers and
annoyance to consumers to have the
present transportation facilities long
disarranged. There is already con
siderable anxiety felt among large
shippers iu this section. The roads
refuse to make rates or enter engage
ments extending beyond the time for
the act to lake effect. Millinen are iu
a panicky state of feeling, aud water
melon planters are concerned to
verge of fright.
AU these fears cau be allayed. Tlie
commission, as soon as formed, will
result in a speedy adjustment of
all the mixed questions. If they
don’t they ought to be “hung without
benefit of clergy.”
The Amerlcau Grocer makes a cur
ious calculation as to what it costs to
smoke. Basing its calculation on rev
enue returns, it shows that this coun
try pays every year for cigars and
cigarettes $186,500,000, and $20,000,000
for tobacco smoked iu pipes. To this
it adds the cost ot chewing tobacco,
$50,000,000, bringing the eutire tobac
co blip of the couutry for the year up
to $256,500,000. The total loss from
fires In tlie United States last year wa?
$120,000,000, so that our tobacco costs
us more than twice as much as all our
fires, great conflagrations incircled.

erted :i more forceful influence upon
the events that led to the estrangement
aud ho*tile operations of tlie two sec
tions of this vast couutry, than did
Henry Ward Beecher and Harriet
Beecher Stowe. One fired the heart
of passion from the pulpit, tlie other
moulded tlie prejudice through fiction.
Yet they were mere instruments in
destiny of nations. The time was ripe
when in the wisdom of Providence a
devnieiv sanctioned aud established in-
stitutiou should be abolished, He
should exert it with a due regard for worked His wiil tliruughhiimauiu-
the long train of consequences which
it draws. The secular papers of the
land form the bone and flesh of the
whole body of the reading of the
masses, and the spirit that animates
it breathes its nature into their lives.
Farniiliarity with vice*disarms it of
its terrors and prepares the mind to
look with allow'&nceaud tolerance upon
its commission. The constant spectacu
lar drama of the criminal world as pre
sented dally through tlie medium of
our newspapers as a stage, so to speak,
has a demoralizing teudeucy, tlie ex
tent of Which is beyoud human com
pulation. The minds of the children
are familiar from their youth up with
the most revolting spectacles that
crime can devise.
There should be some protectiou of
fered to the public from the deluge of
criminal disclosures that threatens to
drowu the intioceuce of youth that
clothes it with its charms.
The only safeguard offered now Is
iu the character of editors. Is there
moral spiuality euough iu them to ex
tract tlie fangs of tlie serpent that
makes its daily .trail over tlie iiewiqm-
pers of the laud V Or will they con-
tinue to pander to a vitiated taste to tlie
cultivation of which they have con
tributed.
Mr. G>x>rge Pullman, iu speaking
of his elegant cars, gave an old truth
a new application. Says he, “I con
sider such cars educative to the masses;
to many a man or woman it is a look
at Oomfort and luxury that is their
ideal. They dress themselves better
to travel, behave more courteously in
a handsome vehicle thau iu a tasteless
and cheap oiie.” This is a truth uni
versally recognized, aud has its appli
cation to every class or grade of so
ciety. “Cleanliness is next to god-
liuess” is taught with the earliest in
structions given to childreu, and cleau
clothes have a most marked effect upon
child’s behavior; aud children never
outgrow the influence of good, clean
clothes. Men and women are but
growu up children, aud lio charac
teristic more clearly demonstrates it
than that. We have somewhere heard
that a man uever committed a crime
witii a cleau shirt on. This is, per-
haps an hyperbolic expression of this
same truth. Cleanliness is used as a
symbol of godliness. The Psalmist
says, “Create within meaclean heart.”
He who hath a cleau haud.” Aud
umiiy other Biblical expressions
show* what kindred ideas are cleau
and good. A neat man is a proud
inau, who abstains, as far as possible,
from anythiug that would “muddy
his hand or character. Outward stains
are not necessarily more than skin deep,
but one is apt to think that tbe outer
man is but the expression
of the inner. The dirt soils
iiiseperable to manual labor never im
press one with tlie idea of untidiness,
but they are in harmony with the
eternal fitucss of things. A tear of
dirt w ould be incompatible with labor,
aud the hicougruity of mau and con
dition would be ludicrous, and yet
there is a manner that impresses an
idea of neatness eveu iu the plowman
or the ditcher. Cleanliness is not only
possible with every condition of life,
but it ought to be regarded as a duty
due to ourselves and society. A godly
household usually has a neat home.

The number of births
may be in a larger ratio among the ne
groes, but the death rate b also larger.
The mortuary reports of this city will
show an average of three death* among
tlie uegroe* to one among the whites,
w'hile the population of tlie city b
very nearly evenly divided between
tlie two races. The marital
latiou is held sacred by but few
of the colored race, and disease
and crime multiply tlie death
rate that would obtaiu uuder a
more righteous system and ail observ
ance of ordinary sanitary regulations
and the fixed laws of nature. But tlie

himself of the vahie of UapU Hobbs'

Objected, and if every person iu tlie
community shall look to hb own inter

Yes, we are all more or less selfish. I
have had considerable to do with rail
roads; l have procured railroad char
ters from tlie Legislature,, con! ruled
them, organized them and conveyed
them to the company when formed..
Two of these roads are now running
to Albany. I kpent time and mouey
fii this connection for which 1 received
no other compensation thau that
which accrued to tlie whole communi
ty. But in all this 1 was selfish. J
had interests in the community which
would be beuefitted and therefore 1
labored, with g«H>d w ill to others and
gratification that every one should
share iu the common prosperity. 1
mention this to illustrate 1113- view ot
the proper -Iiolives which prompt, and
the duty of a citizen to l»imsc*f and
tlie community of which he i? a mem
ber, when opportunity offers.
I am gratified to observe that Pres
ident Jordan’s letter lias pidduced.a
marked favorable change in X. Y.
Z.’s opiuiou of ihe cluracler of the
men who are managers of the Cplum-
bus Souther., road. Instead of virtu
ally charging them with the Intention
of covering the road with Island 2d
mortgage bonds for more thau its value
ami thus render the stock worthier-.*,
lie now says “I have uaiight lo say of
tlie men who propose to inauage the
Columbus Southern, but they are not
ahead ol Robert II., llardawhy, now
dead, A. T. McIntyre or John A. Da
vis.” Very good: tieing tlie equals of
these men is a sufficient guarantee, to
people of this section that the road
will be well itiauaged and the sunk
Safe.
Again X. Y. Z. says, speaking ol
President Jordan: “Without reflect
ing un him or Ills management, ci'her
directly or indirectly, say that the
stock of liis road b not a gyod Invest-,
uieut, it will |»ay no dividends ami
will follow in a few years in tlie wake
of other roads recently built—the At
laniic & Gulf, tlie Macon & Bruns
wick, the South Georgia & Florida
aud the North & South are noticeable
examples.
There is no similarity lietwecn the
conditions of the raids mentioned by
X. Y. Z. ami tlie Columbus Southern.
All these roads were built tl»rougn
thinly settled secllousof country, with
little local trade and no connection
with other roads to bring trade over
the far distant sections of the Country,
and they coiis*ipiently failed to pay
expenses, were loaded w.ilh debt and
finally sold-. The contrast between the
condition of these roads autl the Co-
luiubu* Southern is .us wide as from
the East to the West. The Columbus
Southern will have a good load trade,
which, togctl-er with the business of
Columbus, should make it a good pay iug
stock. But when we look, t/eyoml to
the coal and iron trade of birming-
lintn, tlie large trade of Memphis and
on beyond to Kaunas City, forming a
line nearly 1,200 miles in length
through a comitry unsnriKissed for its
abundant and diversified productions,

Money Iu New York city has been
in very good supply below the legal
rate, aud tlie coutiuued large volume
of export*, favored by the low rate ol
luterest abroad, has caused a smart re
duction iu tlie rates of sterling ex-
chauge. Having reached the present
period without sending gold abroad,
tlie chances are now fair that New
Yorkers will uot have to make auy
shipmeut, but rather that they will im
port the precious metal. A few croak
ers have been predicting financial
stringency to occur as the result ol
treasury operations, but the argument?
ou which tbe fear Is based are Tar
fetched. There is no eud of money in
tlie treasury, aud as Treasurer Jordan
remarked tfce other day: “It is with-
iu tlie power of tlia secretary to plac*
it where it will do the most good to
Cite commercial community iu tlie
eveut of a threatened pinch iu the
market.”
