Atlanta Constitution.
The.international development
of; the; color line in politics is one
of the interesting features of the
day, slightly touched upon by Mr.
Bryan- during his presidential can-
vass, and now protruding itself
into republican party councils.
The president, it is declared, is
oppcsed to legislation which would
antagonize the south in ‘the mat
ter of race feeling, the ostensible
cause being the hope to build up,
through the aid of southern busi
ness men, a respectable backbone
for republicanism here. The most
important part of the statement,
however, is that in which it is—
u —suggested that any action ta
ken with reference to the suffrage
of the south in advance of the
adoption of a definite policy in
the Philippines might throw some
embarrassment in the way of the
proper disposition of the citizen
ship rights. of the Filipinos, and,
moreover, it is felt that the gov
ernment has as much as it can
deal with now without getting in
to-a contention over domestic af
fairs.”
It is a singular coincidence that
the same wire should have brought
the announcement from Honolulu
that the royalist casdidate for del
egate to congress had been elect
ed, and that—.
“His campaign was an anti
white canvass, with promises on
the part of some of his campaign
workers that if he were elected
Queen Liliuokalani should be re
stored to the throne. The result
of the vote shows the native bit-
The Convicts Of Georgia.
The third annual-report of _ the
prison commission of Georgia to
the general assembly has been giv
en to the public and copies placed
upon the desks of the members of
both branches of the legislature.
The report gives a vast amount of.
interesting; information that will
be of great value-to the - members
of the legislature relating to the.
manner in which the felony con
victs of the state are handled, and
also the manner in which the state
farm is operated.
The following shows the num
ber of convicts for each offense.;

“The independent native party
carried the house of representa
tives by a large majority. In the
senate there will be seven repub
licans, eight independents and
one democrat. With the inde
pendents in control, a lively ses
sion is expected, as they are
against the ruling regime.
“It is likely as a result of the
election that congress will be ask
ed to establish some' limitations
upon the voting privilege. Many
of the whites want a property
qualification for voters. It is ar
gued that in voting upon a simple
color line many of the natives
have shown themselves urmtsfor
universal suffrage.”
The North Carolina restriction
is hence called for from an unex
pected source, and must soon be
come a recognized feature of re
publican policy in dealing with
the new peoples Avith whom we
have been thrown in contact.
Out of the long struggle there
will evolve -4bat truth which it
lias been impossible to suppress:
That inferiority must bend to su
periority. This is the emphatic
law of civilization.
- Marion Butler of North Caroli
na is already preparing to contest
the election of Mr. Simmons to
the United States Senate, not
withstanding Mr. Simmons Avill
not' be elected until next January.
He has, however, been “recom
mended” to the legislature by a
primary vote, which is equal to
an election. Butler will allege
fraud its the ground for . contest,
and he hopes to be -able to per-
suade the ' republican niajority in
the Senate to refuse to seat the
democrat.

The success of the new Philadel-
phia-Savannan steamship line has
been little short of- phenomenal.
Already there vis a demand for
more freight room, which the
company will speedily supply by
putting on another ship. The"
commerce between the two ports
gives good promise of becoming
much larger, “so. that still other
ships may have to be added to
the fleet. The' quick success of
this: enterprise shows what pub
licity, backed by merit, can ac
complish. To the Philadelphia
Record is due much -of the credit
for the-achievement.

“Accidents happen in the best-
regulated families” and “A miss
is as good as a mile” are familiar
sayings. Small things are produc
tive of amazing results sometimes.
Lately some fellow’s ingenixity
has demonstrated.that the war of
1812 was produced by -a pig get
ting its h^ad fast, in a fence in
Connecticut or Rhode Island. It
happened in this wise: In some
particular precincts a federalist
voter put off leaving home for the
polls till the last minute possible
for his reaching the voting place
in time. He was hurrying as fast
as his legs could carry him to ex
ercise the highest prerogative -of
an-American sovereign, when "he
heard one of his pigs squealing as
in great distress.
Now, it is a conceded fact
among us farmers that, there is no
more ear piercing or pleasure ban
ishing sound hr this noisy world
than that made by a pig squealing
because his adventurous head has
been caught in the crack of : a
fence, unless it be a Thomas cat-
developing his musical apparatus
at_midnight’s holy hour. So the
federalist, burning with wrath
against Thomas Jefferson and all
the democrats, stopped to rescue
his pig. This delayed him so that
he lost his vote. The democrat
ic candidate for the legislature
was elected by .one majority. The
legislature elected a democratic
United States senator; by on e ma
jority. Thn United States senate
declared war by one majority, all
the democrats voting for it. That
pesky pig made several pages of
glorious history.
