The editor of the Herald was one of
the few newspaper men of the State
Invited to accompany the Governor
and legislative committee that visited
Chicago and the World's Fair grounds
during the past week. .
The trip was a revelation to us. No
map who has not seen the prepara
tions that are being made at Chicago
for the great exhibit of the products
and meohnnlsm of the world, can have
anything like n correct idea of their
extent. Even tho wildest pictures of
the Imagination will not compare with
the real grounds and buildings when
they come to be seen.'
The purpose of this visit to Chicago
was to have the Governor and a repre
sentative number of the General As
sembly advised as to wluit the World’s
Fair promises to be. Tho delegation
was met by a committee from the di
rectory of the fair and oonduotod
through the grounds In carriages. An
entire day was speut in driving
through the grounds and Inspecting
the buildings, and yet only a small
part Of the great aggregation of im
provements could be seen. Enough
was seen, however, to satisfy every
visitor that the coming World’s Fair Is
to surpass anything and everything
ever before attempted in the world, In
tho way of an exhibition, and to in
spire each Georgian with an earnest
desire to see his State take her place in
the great display of produots and nat
ural resources.
It will bo a shame for Georgia, tho
Empire State of the South, to be left
out of this great world’s fair, and It Is
to be hoped that our Legislature can
and will see its way clear to making
such an apporprlatjon as will give the
State a creditable representation there.
The Herald will have more to say
upon this subject, whloh Is of so great
magnitude and Is exciting Buoh uni
versal attention and Interest through
out the world. Wo will, shortly, pre
sent our readers with a sketch descrip
tive of the work and the numerous at
tractions whloh the world’s greatest
fair will afford.
AflAISST WRECKING HAII.UO ADM
ilbaxv’s free school bill, which has
ised the Senate, is likely to become
’• before the end of the present
don of the General Assembly. Dis-
iters, however, will havo an oppor-
to express their opinion at the
ills, ns it will require a vote of the
ople before it enn he put into opera-
Jur life-saving service along the
ut is a grand thing. Out of 2,570
rsnns in peril on wrecked ships dur
st the past year, all but 70 were savod.
Such a record is a wonderful attesta
tion to the efficiency of modern life-
Mving methods, as well as to the he
roic efforts of tho brave men employed
in the service.
The present oondltfon of Georgia’s
—41.-a- I.—.twJ.4-,1-. -r—I- - 1
son which will not soon be forgottoh,
Within the past live years every rail
road In the State, with few exceptions,
has been Annnoially embnrassed, milk
ing neoessary Disappointment of a re
ceiver to adjust the business of the
rond.
It Is along the lino of progress to
note that these corporations are at last
receiving some protective legislation
at the hands of our law makers. The
Bacon bill which passed the House
yesterday makes it a felony for any In
dividual or individuals to attempt to
wreck a railroad, or to bring It to
financial disaster.
The tinanuial losses whloh roads
are sometimes made to hear through
designing men, often force them to
bankruptcy, nnd from the nature of
these corporations, suoli n failure is a
public calamity, us well as a loss to
the stockholders.
A little protective legislation can
do no harm. Tho common carriers are
public servants nnd they deserve pub-
llo protection. Tho public, too, hns full
power to prevent at tho same time any
Injustice towards the people on tho
part of these corporations; nnd when
they can proteot themselves nnd nt
the snmo time afford aid to the roads
through public leglslntlou it is nothing
but right nnd just that they should
do so.
After dilating somewhat at
upon the question of State bonds and
referring to the action taken by the
Georgia Legislature in regard to tjiem
the Chicago Inter Ocean says: ’
Hut (iooi'Kts Is nut a ono • idea State. The
Democratic conception of pmaresB,ns illustrat
ed ut Atlanta, is twofold. Thu unchaining of
thu furious catamount does.not carry, oat fnllV
the Democratic idea of progress. To this
is added a ci net insult to the Confederate vet
erans. It will lie reincnitiercd that the crown
ing act of the late Mr. Urndy’s life was to raise
9 llKMMO to provide a homo for Confederate snl-
diers who had no homes and tvould otherwise
havo to goto the pool-house. Everybody seemed
to think it was a wise and coinmendablo as well
as charitable tiling to do. Tile gift was turned
over to Ucorgla. or, rntlier. offered to the State,
with no thought of any hesitation In Its ac
ceptance. Rut. ns a matter of inct, tho Legis
lature of Georgia daily refuses to accopt tho
gift. It would involve tho cost of maintenance.
Illinois uud many other States have gone to the
oxpensu of building such homes for the r old
soldiers, ns well as maintaining them.
In its aspirations to take a hand in
every Issue that comes beforo a people,
whether State or national, our able
contemporary again signalizes its
Ignorance In regard to facts, or Its
ability in misconstruing them.
The .Herald has always advocated
the acceptance and maintenance of
the Soldiers’ home by the State, and
the majority of Georgia’s people have
always favored suoh action. There
are times when, on certain questions
representatives do not conform to the
wishes of their constituents and we
believe It was so with the last Legis
lature. But the present Assembly haB
taken no action whatever in regard to
the bill ns the Inter Ocean seems to in
fer, except In the committee room
whero It was reported to the House
with the recommendation that it pass.
Many members of .he present House
were elcoted upon this Issue, and the
chances are that It will have quite a
large majority in that body.
Agnln, the home is not looked upon
ns wholly a oharltlble Institution.
There are none of Georgia’s old sol
diers .who have not been amply pro
vided for, The Soldiers’ Home Is nn
Institutions Intended for such veter
ans who have no homes of their own,
in lieu of the pensions they receive—a
plnce where they oan spend in oomfort
their reclining years. There is many a
veteran soldier in Georgia, who, while
byno means In destitute clraumstanaes;
will be glad to see the doors of the
home thrown open, where he may be
given the care and attention necessary
In Intter years, and they will soon see
it done.
', Georgia Is not a one-idea State,
our World’s Fnir zealot would do
welfto proAt by Georgia’s example.
Notice IS hereby given that on the first day of

too muon politics.
There Is no doubt but that every two
years Georgians get their till of poll;
tics, and In presidential years it is
doubly harassing.
First comes a State election, then the
national elections, and then municipal
and county elections galore, following
fast one upon the other. The average
eltizen gets weary of too much of suoh
business, and the consequence is that
a largo per aentnge of the suffrage is
never exeroised.
The evil could be remedied to some
extent at least by combining the State
and National eleotlons In Presidential
years, nnd the effect would be to bring
out the largest possible number of
voters and get at the expressions of
public opinion to a better advan
tage.
There is no doubt but the average
Gcorglnn is burdened with too much
polltios.
Opposition to Speaker Crisp for a

Truly, President Hnrrison’s lot, dur
ing tho past year, hns been a sad one.
The death of Dr. Seott, the venerable
fatlier-in-law of the President, is now
added to tho bereavements which he
has experienced during his residence
in the White House.
An unusually large number of his
officials and wives of officials ltayc died
during the pnst four years; hut of sad
ness, the President seems to have had
more than Ills share. It may seem out
of plnce to speak in the same sentence
of bereavement by death ami defeat in
the race for offloe, yet the Intter must
be classed as his misfortune, and a
greater one when so closely connected
with the former in point of time.
It is a wonder that the death of those
so near to him, together with the ad
verse decision of the greatest of hu
man tribunals staring him in the face,
did not cause his prostration. But he
is a man of strong mind and able to
bear up under the adversity of mis
fortune and bereavement.
While all cannot join in sympathy
over hts public misfortune, his be
reavements have touched the oherds of
a nation’s heart. In their sympathy,
party principles are forgotten, and a
fellow-feeling goes forth for the man
whose heart is bowed down with grief.
