“God made the country and man

at times forcibly reminded of that com
prehensive quotation when the artifi

tile evidences of weak

and cities designed-by man, the archi

The Chicago Tribune, one of the

It begins to appear that tlie forged
letter purporting to have been written
by Mr. Davis and published first iu the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, was merely a
shrewd Republican trick to briug out

Jay Gould, in an interview with a
reporter of the New York World said
that the execution of tlie interstate com
merce law . as proven beneficial to the
railroads. If there Is much more such
talk as this by railroad magnates there
will be au epidemic of the “dry grius”
In tlie country, and tlie same people
who demanded tlie interstate law will
howl for its repeal. There has arisen
in this couutrv during the last decade
a popular prejudice against railroads
or against the policy of the railroads
and the manner in which they are run.
Tlie interstate commerce law was born
of that prejudice, and the purpose of
many who urged its passage was not
so much a desire to benefit the com
mon people or the country at large as
to cripple the railroads, and when they
find they have failed in this they will
become dissatisfied and bowl more
Yociferonsly than before.

The city boy enjoys greater advan

to equip men for the successful dl*-
charge.of the active duties of a busy
life. They are taught aud encour
aged to make acquisitions of that
nowIdSge v which has relatively the
most value iu the practical careers of
life. But the effect seems to be like tlie
making of the brick thAS pile np to
form their houses; they all come out
about one size. The artificial is appa
rent; the methods employed seem to
raise all to one plane of mediocrity,
above which but few have tlie quali
ties and ability for rising. There is a
superficial acquaintance with many
subjects, a degree of polish common to
ah which enables them, like polished
surfaces, to reflect the light around
them, but an absence of inwanl
warmth of intellectual vigor.
The country boys are strikingly of
different patterns, and present the nat
ural phases of Individuality of charac
ter. The conditions of their lives
seem more favorable for tlie develop
ment of mental streugth, as the pure
air Is most conducive to bodily health.
The young men of a city, instead of
devoting their leisure to the cultiva
tion of their minds, dissipate their
natural mental vigor fu planuiu;
aud enjoying society pleasures. Tlie
youth of the country find hi their
very occupation a field of profitable
study iu observing the operation of
the laws of nature, the very purest
science. Their leisure is profitabty
employed in meditation, aud in the
study of the open book of nature, ex-
haustless in its.knowledge and its pleas
ing variety. To him tlie visible forms
of nature are leaves on which lessons
of wisdom and instruction are written
for the understanding of which he
possesses a Rosetta Stone; and all nat
ural sounds are voices for which he has
an interpretation.
The great mistake in tlie commonly
accepted idea of an education is the
placing of too much importance ou the
rapid acquisition of knowledge of
most relative value in practical life.
Dwarfed intellects frequently result
from methods of cramming the miud
with what is iutended to be of most
utility. The process of forcing early
maturity results in a dwarfed &}>ecies,
like the dwart species ot large plants
obtained by Chinese methods of suj>-
presslon.
The differeneoe does not exist in tlie
city and country boys in the hereditary
qualities of miml so much as in tlie
conditions of growth and methods of
development. The city life is districts
lug, and tlie' powers ot application are
expended in the pursuit of piessant
diversions that are in theraseves, when
excessively indulged, hurtful to tlie
mind. It is a lamentable fact, too,
that educational advantages are not
properly appreciated by tlie majority
of boys to whom they come so ea.-y
and as a matter of course. The few
distractions of the country life, the
favorable conditions of the home life
for intellectual and moral develop'
ment, the appreciation of educational
advantages whicli the surrouudings
inspire, all conspire to a steady mental
growth aud vigor. And while the
country youth riiay not begin a pro
fession with tlie ainotiut or variety of
information possessed by the city-
bred boy, yet he has a strong and sym
metrically developed mind, logical in
its methods of thought that iaad to

Fxtendim: l he City Limit
Tlie question of extending the city
limits is again to receive t
a’ion of the City Council. At the r
ular meeting of the City Fathers

which Alderman Stephens ischairm

bUity and advisability of au extension,

these signs are fast materializing, and
population and perhaps make tlie rah- wliTiTevelop Important factois in the
ble vote large enough to place the
control of the city government in the
hands of that element. Tills was not
the only objection to the proposed ex
tension that was urged by those who
opposed it, Imt it appeared to be the
leading and controling one.
The News and Advertiser did not
share this Apprehension at that time,
and it does not now. We might ex
tend the city limits a*l over Dougher
ty county without having anything
to dread, so far as the Negro vote
and population may be concerned.
This is a white man’s country. The
white people know it; the Negroes
know it—everybody knows it, and it
wi'I be so to the end of time.
Our present city limits are just what
they were nearly fifty years ago—one
mile square. There is a large popula
tion and thousands of dollars worth of
property bordering these limits and
enjoying ail the privileges of the city
aud its institutions, without contribut
ing one dollar toward defraying tlie
expense of the city government.
Take, for instance, the Ice Factory,
one of tlie most prouiineut manufactur
ing enterprises in the city. It is, so
far as its business is concerned, an in
stitution of the city; yel it is located
just outside the city limits and is,
therefore, exempt from city taxes.
Anu so of all property ou the north
side of Society street, except Col. Tilt'
residence, which was incorporated
into the city limits by special act of
tlie Legislature. Col. Tift’s artesian
well and other improvements contig
uous to bis residence lot are uot in
side the limits. We point out these
improvements not for tlie purpose of
uutkiug personal application of them,
nor in any mean or unfriendly
spirit whatever, but merely to giv
force to the assertion we hav
made—that there is a large population
and thousands of dollars worth of prop
erty enjoying the privileges of the
city and its institutions without paying
anything towards maintaining the city
government.
The city govcruinetit, at the present
rate of taxation, is falling short everj-
year—there being an annual defici
ency between her income from taxes
and ail other sources aud her increns-
ingexpense of government. This de
ficiency could be covered, without in
creasing tlie present low rate ot taxa
tion, by extending the city limits so as
to take in the population and proiterty
on tlie Northern, Western and South
ern suburbs.
Aud then there are other considera
tions which seem to demand an exten
sion of the city limits. Albany is
growing, and her growtli promises to
receive new impetus at no distant day
The outlook has never been brighter,
aud the indications for a boom have
never been so assuring as now. But
even if the city’s growth for the next
ten years should lie at the same rate
that has marked the advance of the
last ten years, the necessity of extend
ing the limits nmst lie apparent.
The Condition of the Brunswick a d
Western Railroad.
The anuual report of the Railroad
Commission of Georgia to the Gover
nor touches, among other matters of
great moment to the State, the present
unsafe condition of the track of the
Brunswick and Western Railroad, it
says:
Numerous complaints have come to us of
the condition of the track, rolling stock and
equipments ot the Brunswick and Western
Railroad It is represented that tlie track is
utterly unsafe, the rails much worn, the roll
ing stock, both passenger and freight, wholly
insufficient, and the rolling stock, as well as
every other portion of its equipment, entirely
incapable of meeting the ordinary demands
for accomodation by the public.
AU that we can do in the premises is to rail
your excellency's attention to this matter, i.
to every door of I order that such steps may be taken as in your
success', the plodding genius of appli- precticnlile end P~P«r to com-

The Atlanta Constitution, in its ef
forts to fortify a position that is uuteu-
able, falls Into a paradox. It saj6:
The free-traders are in favor of perpetu
ating this infamous Russian system of inter
nal revenue because they think it wiU give
them an txcuse for adding largely to the free
list, a policy that would give British tu;
facturers an opportunity to crush our t
industries, and drive onr manufacturers
our wage earners out of business.”
Opposed diametrically to that asser
tion of the need of protection to Amer
ican industries, In the same article, it
says:
The vast bulk of our three greatest in
dustries—iron and steel, cotton and wool—are
sold as cheap in this coantry as they are in
free-trade England. Iu other wortls, the pro
tective policy has stimulated home competi
tion in commodities of tlie highest necessity.’
Ni.-w, oue or the other of these asser
tions must be incorrect. It can not be
that if the products of our mills are
sold as cheaply in tills country as the
product of English mills iu England
that tlie manufacturers need the pro
tection that is extended to them, for
English manufacturers could not com
pete with them in American markets.
It is uot the object of the tariff to
reduce the Government’s revenues.
The controlling idea that fouud expres
sion in tariff legislation was to raise
revenue for the expenses of the Gov
ernment economically admiuistered.
The protective policy is now the dom
inant idea, and the journals that ad
vocate it openly and without shame
proclaim that if the tariff is reduceil
tlie Government revenues will be in-
cieased. - The Government does not
ueeti the tax, but the protected mo
nopolists do. The people must be
taxed, and it is better to tax them for
the benefit of the manufacturer than
tlie Government. Tlie conclusion of
the whole matter is, that through pro
tection the farmers of the United
States are forced, by prohibitory tariff
duties, to buy at exhorbltant prices
home-made articles. Now, if protec
tionists can show wherein that ben
efits the farmer, we will acknowl
edge that the logic of facts Is Irration
al, and that truth is a liar.

We have, under the law, no supervision of
the physical coudition of railways, aud we
think it would be unwise to devolve such duty
on the Commission. While in some States
such powers and duty are exercised by the
railroad Commissions under the laws of those
States, it is not believed that that service can
be efficiently performed by such agencies.
It will be utterly impracticable iora

Au investigation into the powers of
tlie Governor in the piemiscs, suggest
ed by the Commission calling upon
his excellency 10 take such steps as in
his judgment are practicable and
proper to compel a performance of the
duties of the Brunswick and Western
towards tlie public contemplated by
its charter, leads us to doubt that any
such authority is vested in the Gover
nor. It is possible that the Legisla
ture could revoke the charter of the
corporation for uot complying witli its
plainly implied contract 10 keep the
road iu such condition as to lusnre the
safe transportation of freight and pas
sengers.
Tlie next Legislature should provide
against future trouble of this kiud it
is imperative that the*public highways
or tills State should be In a safe condi
tion, aud every danger should be elim
inated from public travel tliat Is pos
sible to remove. Tlie State owes its
first duty to the protection of the life
of its citizens, and it is a crime against,
the public for a corporation to wautouly
endanger the lives entrusted to it lor
safe transportation.
The accidents on the Brunswick &
Western have not been of a serious
character, and the News and Adver
tiser knows notiiing of the coudition
of its roadway, except through com
mon report, but the fact that “com

Southwestern railroad is to be pushed

the work. Another cotton compress
is to be put up in Albany right away,
and there are good reasons for believ
ing that this enterprise will be closely

will induce a liberal rate on cotton

From a source which the News and

one In position to know what Is being
done with reference to the Columbus
Southern railroad, it is learned that
there Is no longer any doubt about the
road's being built. Active operations
will be commenced at an early day,
and would, doubtless, be on the way
now but for the fact tliat Col. Gunby
Jordan, who went to New Yo fc to

however, and expects to be able to
mature his plans without much further
delay.
The Georgia Midland people realize
that they must have an outlet from
Columbus to the sea, aud this they
will seek in tlie Columbus Southern.
They are in earnest about it, ami are
going to take hold.
Tlie News and Advertiser has
never been over-sanguine about the
Columbus Southern, but It has advices
now which seem to remove all doubt
about Its being built.
The Atlanta Coustitu ion of Satur
day tells how the passengers on tlie
Georgia Railroad fast train were
treated to quite a rare sensation on
Friday:. “Just after leaving Atlan
ta, when Conductor Harris went
through tlie train takiug up tickets,
before the first station Was reaclie*I, he
uoticed two well dressed Negroes oc
cupying seats in the first-class white
coach. He approached them, and re
quested them to go into the ear pro
vided lor persons of their race, which
is, indeed, a first-class car. They in
formed him that they hailed from
Boston and had no Idea of so doiug.
Mr. Harris again asked them to change
cars, telling them if they did not do
so trouble would be caused by it.
They again refused, when two gentle
men passengers ad vised them to vacate.
Their advice was, however, not takeu.
A man sitting near them said nothing,
but when the fii&t telegraph statiou
was reached lie telegraphed the fact*,
to Conyers, aud asked that a parly
meet tlie train and dispose of the Ne
groes. When the traiu reached there
it was boarded by a dozen men, all
armed with pistols, who in less time
than it takes to cell it had the car
cleared of Negroes. They did not even
wait to be told to vacate, but just as
soou as they caught sight of the
drawu pistols they left iu a mu for the
Negro coach. The passengers were
uot again troubled by them, aud it Is
hardly probable tliat they will again
attempt to ride iu a first-class w hite

it. ”
voting, tfie old-time conductor, wi h
his air of general proprietorship, which
created the impression on rustics that
he owned the whole “concern,” tlie
jealousy with which he guarded tl e
prerogatives of his office, the style
writlrwhich lie was wont to disport
hi ni sei r iu his too many leisure hours,
are all held in strong contrast to the
present unobtrusive, industrious set of
tlie new school of conductors. One
reform after another crowded out the
old-thuers, and thelawof the survivial
of tlie fittest scored another victory.
Tlie old set were the products of
the methods employed and were orna
ments to their positions with Its then
requirements, and the slow schedules
•>f their trains were compensated in
the fast methods of their lives. The
inverse ratio seems to obtain between
the schedule of a train and the rate at
which-a conductor goes; the faster the
schedule the more sedate the conduct
or, ami vice versa.
Tlie old conductors could not
accommodate themselves to tlie
changed order, and one by one
they were set aside for yonnger
men in whose mental veins flowed.tlie
blood of the new life. Many of the
old one*, who were feted aud spoiled
by the appreciative public, after losing
their “jobs” eked out a miserable ex
istence and died in poverty and dis
grace. The managements should have
been more grateful for past sei
and retired them ooan easy position
with a salary that would have placed
them beyond the chilling blight of
paiimy.
Others freed from the confinement
of the exacting duties of their posi
tion tumid hi tlie active world a broad
er field for the exercise of their shrewd
intellects, aud found profitable em
ployment iu other pursuits. But the
mass had grown only to the measure of
thei r positions, and knew nothing else,
aud by reason of tiieir uusymmetrical
development were incapacitated to suc
cessfully engage in any vocation of
life. V» hat a sad speetacle these super
auuated conductors presented. They
stood an unacronism, representing
the ideas aud methods of thirty years
ago, and looked on the bustling scenes
with a dazed expression as though
they were so many Rip Vau Winkles.
Iu biddit.g them goodbye it is with a
tinge or sad ness,for we remember with
what awe their august presence in
spired our youthful mind, and we can
not but reflect on “how are the mighty
fallen.”
Railroads have been great civili
zers aud che steam engine« has

The question as to whether
money is taxable presents itself for
consideration every time tax returns
are In .onter. Banks and bankers are
not generally posted on the question,
aud some return all monies on hand
ou tlie flrst of April, and some think
tliat no currency Is returnable. This
question is determined by the Uufted
States statutes and by a decision of
tlie United States Supreme Court,
which settles that coiu, national bank
notes and nil other curreucy.except the
obligations of the United States Gov
ernment, are taxable. Gold notes aud
silver certificates are taxable, as they
represent that much coin. If a bank
should have all of Its currency Iu
greenbacks ou the first of April, then
the money on hand would not have to
be returned for taxation. Editors
usually are uot troubled much witli
questions of this character.

The Southern people look with more
concern than U manifest ou tlie trials
and - misfortunes of V irginia. The}*
love every line fu the history of that
noble State, the mother of Presidents
and uursery of statesmen, ami her
preseut unhappy condition of great
financial embarrassment appeals
strongly to their sympathy. Especi
ally Is till* true when It is remembered
tliat she was the great battlefield of
'ie war of secession, and her soil, be
dewed with the blood of Southern
chivalry, now holds in it* loving’ em
brace the buried form* of untold South
ern heroes. War in its most malig
nant mood and with its most destruc
tive purpose swept over and over
again her fertile valleys that smiled
in generous repose to the happy hus
bandman’s honest touch. Besides tin
hundreds upon hundreds of million-
of treasure expended and lost through
her devotion to the Lost Cause, she
poured out the blood of her sons aud
tears of her daughter* as libations to
liberty ’s cause. Southern people can
not cease to regard Virginia as au ob
ject of grateful remembrance. They
love her for tlie dangers through whicn
e lias passed, and mourn with her
luisfortuue, as they share the pride
in the glory of her past. The Southern
man who recently suggested tl
Southern sympathy and love for Vir
ginia should materialize in aid to help
relieve her of the burden of debt, is a
patriot, and his plan is worthy of all
acceptation by Southern men.

The Charleston News and Courier
calls attention to the fact that when a
contest between Philip D. Armour,
the manufacturer of hog products, and
the Colton Seed Oil Trust seemed
imminent a few months ago, be ad-
initt <1 tiint lie used enormous quanti
ties of cotton s««h] oil In the manufact
ure of lar.l. It afterward became
known that other manufactnrers of
lard used this oil as an adulterant.
Oue result of a dissemination of these
fact* is the enactment by -the Massa
chusetts legislature of a law forbid
ding the manufacture or sale of adul
terated lard In that State. But
the bill was not passed without
opiKfeitioti. The House amended it so
that while the sale In the State would
be prohibited the manufacture of the
adulterated goods for sale elsewhere
would lie allowed. The Senate in
sisted upon tlie origiual bill, and by
tlie argument* of certain locai dealers
in pure Ian) tlie Influence of tbe adul
terator* wa* overcome in tbe House.
Tlie State ot Illinois has several laws
by which the adulteration of lard is
clearly -fvrltklden, and the penalties
provided are heavy. Bat no one seem*
to have thought that these laws shonld
be enforced iu Chicago.
We get tills from a Washington tele
gram to the Louisville Courier-Jour
nal of Wednesday: “It is said by
some of tlie Southern Democrats that
the Georgia Congressional delegation
are now figuring to get ex-Coiigress-
man Hammond, of that State, into the
I n.-rior Department as the successor
of Secretary Lamar in the event that
the latter goes upon tlie Supreme
Bench. A reporter was Informed by a
Southern Democrat to-day tliat the
Georgians, who unanimously recom-
meded Mr. Hammond for tlie Supreme
bench, having become satisfied tliat
Mr. Lamar will get tliat appointment,
are now uianceuvreing to put Mr.
Hammond In the Secretarr’s present
place when tlie latter shall have va
