We have received a eopv of Vol¬
ume 1,number 1 of the Middle Geor¬
gia Progress, a neat well-edited
eight page newspaper published in
Sandersville, Ga. To the new mem¬
bers of the brotherhood we extend
our best wishes and a hearty wel¬
come.
Mayor Cooper, of Atlanta, has
returned from Chicago. We don’t
know whether he accomplished his
purposes in reference to the fire de¬
partment or not. But we do know
he made a desperate and perhaps
unjust attempt to give prohibition
a black eye.
Secretary Manning’s resignation
has been accepted by President
Cleveland. The resignation will
take effect about the first of April
next. It is hard to guess just yet
who will he his successor, but As¬
sistant .Secretary Fairchild'seems to
be most generally and favorably
spoken of.
The candidacy of W, G. Raoul fof
a plncc on the United States Rail¬
road Commission is eliciting much
favorable comment from the news¬
papers. !Ve are opposed to Raoul.
For the reason, that since we have
got a chance for a little protection
against the unbridled railroad mo¬
nopolies, we do not think it would
he advisable to appoint men on
that commission who have so large¬
ly discriminated against certain
sections. In case such men arc
appointed the situation would be
rendered even worse than over.
The highest, the host, the most
permanent pleasures, are those
which are not sought, hut which
come from the faithful fulfillment
of life’s duties and obligations
Indeed, the search after pleasure in
any direction is always fruitless,
because it implies a condition of
mind to which enduring happiness
is a stranger. Selfishness and en¬
joyment may do well together for a
brief season, but the latter will
soon wither away under the scorch¬
ing influences of the former. It is
by recognizing and respecting the
qualifv of pleasure rather than its
quantity, its kind rather than its
dr wee, its source rather than itself,
that we learn to appreciate the
truth that the purest and most en¬
during happiness is hut the natural
effect of the wisest, worthiest, and
most r.oble life, and is always in¬
separable from it.—Columbus En¬
quirer.
THE VETOED PENSION BILL.
We are glad to see that the Pres¬
ident’s veto of what is called by
some the “dependent pension bill,”
and hv others the “paupers’ pen¬
sion bill,” is meeting with such
general approval outside of the cir¬
cle of those Republican politicians
who urged it as a means of promot¬
ing their individual interests. Even
many Republican journals applaud
the veto. Though the President
has heretofore vetoed a number of
individual pension bills, this is the
first big grab which he has refused
to sign. We hope that his action
in this case will put a stop to any
future bills for greatly extending
ihe already enormous pension svs
teni
It is true that the constitution of
the United States, as amended, au¬
thorizes “payment of pensions und
bounties tor services in suppressing
insurrection or rebellion,” and this
amendment t'ne Southern States
were required to accept and
as one of the conditions of their
“baconstruetien.” But this amend-
ment by no mDcns requires so vast
a pension system as the one now
in existence, much less its exten¬
sion. Certain! y it does not demand
its extention to the parents, “the
sisters, the cousins and the aunt- ,
of the soldiers. The pensions are
to he bestowed for “services render¬
ed,” not because the soldiers have
dependent parents or other rela¬
tives. The Southern Congressmen
have manifested their loyalty and
fidelity to the pledges of their peo¬
ple by voting for a pension system
already exceeding in its proportions
that of any other country in the
world, though it annually draws
many millions of dollars from
their own section to expend them
almost entirely in another section.
We trust that, having thus faithful¬
ly fulfilled their constitutional ob¬
ligations, they will, taking counsel
and confidence from President
Cleveland's brave stand for right
and justice, call a halt in this pen¬
sion legislation and prevent its fur¬
ther extension.—Atlanta Journal.
On Wednesday last Judge Van
Epps fined J. C. Beiser, who was
convicted of violating the prohibi¬
tion law in Fulton county. 1,000
dollars. During the delivery of his
sentence Judge Van Epps made use
of the following sound and strong
sentiments:
“The legislature did not propose
to exchange the devil for a witch,
and to set up a wholesale prostitu¬
tion by wines instead of wholesale
prostitution by whiskies, With
these clear convictions, I am dis¬
posed to put a penalty on this de¬
fendant, largely measured by the
third reason or motive, which gov¬
erns the imposition of penalties
for violation of criminal lawsto-wit;
as a salntory example to others.
The fine imposed in this instance
is a solemn warning to that class of
our follow citizens who, under the
guise of winerooms, have set up
barrooms for breeding winebibbers
under a fancied security that the
law affords to them this cover for
inflicting the same evils on the co¬
rn unity that the prohibition law was
intended to correct, A respectable
majority of the citizens of this coun¬
ty, have declared by their votes
that the work of drunkard-making
should stop in Fulton county. It
must stop. Unless the supreme
court shall decide my interpretation
gf the law unsound, it will stop.
Let the defendant pay $1,000, and
in default therof let him be put to
labor on the public works for the
space of one year.”
While we are in favor of giving
the working men of our country a
better showing, and while we de¬
nounce the hard-hearted and mer¬
ciless monopolies with all the pow¬
er that in us lies, stilt we can hut
endoise the following article from
the Atlanta Constitution :
“The results of the recent strike
in N ew York are worth thinking
over.
For two weeks or more thirty or
forty thousand freight handlers
and longshoremen have remained
idle, hoping to force their employ¬
ers to accept their terms.
As a matter of course the strikers
were defeated. They were defeated
at a loss of $12,000,000 to them¬
selves and the railroad and steam¬
ship companies.
Money talks. Tt talks when one
has it, and it howls and protests af¬
ter it is gone. The defeated strik¬
ers realize this. The millions that
they have wasted would have given
them support and comfort. Now,
the crest-fallen men are thankfully
returning to work, if they' have the
good luck to have it offered them,
but thousands will remain out with
no certainty of securing employ¬
ment.
But it’is the helpless women and
children who bear the heaviest bur¬
dens of these mad strikers. We
sympathize with the man who
works for insufficient wages, but
when he has others dependent upon
him he must utilize the bird in hand
and not make random excursions
into the bushes. No man who lives
by his daily wages can afford to
throw up a job until he has secured
another. It is nothing but rank fol¬
ly to quit work and swagger about
in'the hope «f getting bigger pay.”
