ANl REGULAI SCHEDULE?. Tht legislatures of three a tales have passed bills providing for » twocent rare on.al? tho railroads' within their border lines. The action of these states waa simultaneous. West Virginia, fowa and Missouri on February 13th formally committed themselves to thU policy. , And the stun railway commission of Texat has Just Issued orders requiring that ttslns shall make their schedules, barring unavoidable ac cidents. that ihey shall not wait longer than half an hour at connecting points foi delayed trains, and that they must atari their passenger trains from points of origin In accordance with adverflaed schedules, end con form lo these published schedules witbir. possible limits aa to arrival at and departure from the several stations on the line. It la perbnp* fortunate now that we shall he able to watch In other states the results of this experiment. lu the mailer of the 3c a mile rale, the objections heretofore urged have been that the volume of travel did not Justify thin low rate of fare. The Georgian has time and again pointed out that ( the railroads* have themselves destroyed this excuse by their emphatic and oft-repeated dec laration that (he volume of business. traffic, freight and pasaenger. la actu- alIp.creator than the line* can carry, and that ibis flood of business ha* liehd offered aa an excuse and Jnalifleatlon for Ibe delay In trains. Those who travel und observe wiib any degree of care will bear wiliest .lu the crowded state of the trains all over the country, and we do not find In our observation or In our reason any cauae fo apprehend that this reduction of fare will entail a serious disaster upon the rail- roads. If It did we would he Just enough to be willing lo see Ibe rale re established at. lu preaent figure. Ilul we will now. at leaat. have an oppor tunity to watch the matter In wholesome experiment In widely distant slates. For some years, the New York Central and other railway* in New York have had a Sc.fare and we have not noted the record of any finan cial disaster attendant upon this policy. We shall watch, however, Iowa. West Virginia and Missouri with much Interest In this connection and will be better able lo estimate the fairness of the law by the results of the experiment. The Tew txynralsalon la to be esiH'dally commended for taking hold of the matter of schedules. In one particular alone we feel that their Interference baa beeu Just and timely. There la no reason why a train load of passengers on the main line of a great railway should lose an hour of time and Imperil all their through connections by waiting for a delayed train on a branch line. Nor la there any reason which the common same public can sen out side the carriage of malls, why passengers an a through train should wait for a connection with the long-delayed schedules of some allied road. We believe that the Texaa commission has enacted a wise law. and we would be glad to see It Imitated by the body which presides over the luiereats of the people In our own railway system of Oeorgia. PRESIDENT FINLEY'S FINE SPEECH. , It isTinpossniTeTni' peupta who think rightly and fairly not to be Ini- pressed by the spirit with which President Finley, of the Southern Rail way. has assumed the very large and responsible duties of-his Important position. From the very first, the new executive head of (he South's greatest railway system has demonstrated a spirit of high consideration and of giwat respect for the people who have an Interest In the vast system over which he presides. Coming Into offlee under the shadow and sor row of a great tragedy, and with a record behind him of unblemished In tegrity In hla own department, President Finley has made evident from the beginning thnt he intends so far aa In him Ilea, to establish a better re lation between the railroads and the people of the South. And he la going about It in the right and proper way. Instead of holding hack In the shadow when public clamor arises against the corpo rations. and Instead of living, by Implication at leaat, tho Vanderbilt theory of "the public be damned," President Finley came frankly and fearlessly Into the public prints vrith n kindly, honest and manly statement address ed through the newspapers to the Southern people, giving- the raUrond aide of the unfortunate and unsatisfactory situation of transportation In the South. Frankly assuming responsibility for mistakes, frankly conceding thnt errors had been made, the new preeldent of the Southern railway gave through the newspapers with ev ident sincerity a statement which w«* meet Impreaelve, concerning hi* railway system, what U had already done, and what It waa now trying to do to relieve the complicated and trying conditions of traffle and travel. Coming from an ofllclal source this statement did much to quiet the Irritation and discontent of the business public end to Ineplre confidence tbnt no effort would be spared to relieve the situation as promptly a* en ergy and mean* could be applied to Iti correction. And now comen Preeldent Finley with another public utterance ad dressed primarily to the employees and representative* of his railway system In convention assembled and given to the press on Wednesday. There I* s ring of linearity mixed with the kindness and falrneia of these remarks which we feet sure will please (he people of Georgia and of the South. The Injunction to courtesy, to high consideration given by the president to bla subordinates, tho dl rectlon to treat even the Impatient and unreasonable patrons of the road with patience and courtesy and klndneaa. Is one which will do much to disarm the bitterness and antagonism which has- been carefully and diligently fostered and which still ex ists between the people ami the railroad corporations. The tone and temper of President Finley's remarks are worthy of the sttentlon of the public and will doubtless Inspire a reciprocal patience and consideration on the part of the people toward the railroads. There can be no doubt that one of the chief censes of division In the past baa been the Indifference, the apathy and too frequently the curt ness, amounting almost to rudeness, on the part of the railway officials toward the public. There never was a railway situation whose unpleasnniness could not have been molllfled by the evidence of consideration on the part of the railroad represantallves. In the case of a wreck the writer of this article has many a time seen the discontent and Irritation of passengers who did not know the cause of the delay molllfled and softened Into good humor and amiable acceptance by a polite conductor who did not hesitate to ex plain the c'uuse of Ibe delay, the probabilities of another start, and to ex press his regret for the discomfort of the passengers. On scores of occa sions we btve teen a revolution In feeling wrought by this simple policy of explanation and consideration. 1'pon this policy of courtesy and klnducts toward (he traveling pub- lie, the Northwestern and Burlington railroads in Hie West have built up a popularity which has brought them great tides of business and saved them no end of bitterness In their litigation. Ami so, we cannot fail to commend the spirit and the method by w hich President Finley Is seeking lo bring the Sum hern people Into a larger and kludlier consideration of the difficult? -* which surround the present railway situation, and we believe If Ibis altitude Is maintained and enlarged In material ways that the new executive of that great system will have Itnimoated ut least the beginning of an era which will do much lo heal the trouble between the people nod the corporations. A FOOLISH NEORO CONVENTION. The wiser element of the negro race bare counseled the abolition of the Equal Rights convention now lu session at Macon. I'ltder (list name, and at this time, such a convention ran do no good and has already done harm lu affurdltig an arena for the violent har- anguc of lllahop Turner, who Is evidently seeking notoriety- through In- cendlary radicalism. Only a few days ago The Georgian published a protest against this conventlur. by Edllor II. J. Davis, of The Atlanta ludepeirdeul. Editor lhrrls is growing fast In the confidence of the white South by hla whole some utterances, and his advance comment upon this foolish convention was so timely that wv are going to print It again llero Is what a wise negro says about these ftxdlah negroes: "Character nbd usefulness in men anti women arc not created by resolutions lo conventions It must come If It comes at all. by useful and helpful living ntuoug our neighbors lu Iho communities where we Hv« Kqua? rlghtr am? no other convention cau bring to us tire fuli enjoyment of oti.' manhood rights until we demon strain our worth ar men and citizen among our neighbors. It may be a bard Jol. under prevailing cundltlo.ru. In convince our neighbors thnt we art entlller? It lire tights and privileges we contend for; R matters not how bard lire las' Is, Hit burden of . proof Is upon our racial shoulders and we had as well address our selves to the work. The tlmo we spend at Macon and $>ther places resolutlog and complaining about conditions we cannot remedy could be more profitably spent In an hones', effort to establish ourselves In the hearts of ou.' neighbors. The only rtglu that win remain permanently with us. are those we earn by our faithfulness. While we dc not approve the animus behind the curtalUnent of our constitutions? rights, sometimes wo are almost of the Opinion that we are unfit for many of the cl vie tod political Immunities left as. Why pall one thousand negro men to Macon to resolute and make hot air speeches In February? Dr. White haa been In the Conven tion business In the state for 33 years, and nothing tangible stands to his credit along political llnea. Let us keep our mouths shut and work more. Let us stay at home and address our talents to the accumulation of wealth 'and character. Ninety-nine per cent of the negro leader* who meet lo these conventions are default ers on the tax books in their counties, yet.they asplre.to lead and ■bape citizenship." Such counsel at this from real negro leader* cannot he too often re petted to the ear and understanding of the negro mass. , We are almost sorry that true men and wise men* lllfe Governor Nortben and Dr. Ntmaally. should go out of their way to ftyend a conven tion called by such a name, and led-by agitator* of * question which can only be settled along the lines of the editorial which me qhote above. A FORECAST OF THE SOUTH'S ADVANCE. During 1W6 the wealth of the South increased tl.fQt.OOO tor every day of the year, Sundays Included, or e total of t34t0.00p,000'. The actual lacreaae In assessed value, gays The Manufacturers' Record, was yi.076.000.000, and this waa on the average to per oent of the true value. The unaxlng magnitude of this gain or I7.300.00tl a day Is strik ingly shown by the statement of The London Express, Which, bemoan ing the Inability of Great Britain to keep pace with America's growth, put the lacreaae In Great Britain's wealth at 17.000.000 a week. Contrast the South’s Increase of $7400,000 a day with. Great Britain's $7,000,000 a week and then think of the future. Great Britain, with comparatively few natural resources, dependent upon the outside world for nearly all Its foodstuffs, for much of Its Iron ore. for all of Its cotton and a large part of Its lumber, add with only 10.- 000 square mile* of coal, of which a large portion has been worked out. has 40,000,000 people crowded Into an area equal to that Of less than half of Texaa. On the other hand, look at the South, with the worlfl's cotton trade In Its absolute domination, with 62,000 equate miles of virgin coal Held*, with Iron ore sufficient to duplicate for years to come the; whole Iron and alee) trade of all Europe, with almost limitless soil capabilities already pro ducing over 300,000,000 bushels of grain a year and several hundred mil lion dollar*' worth of diversified farm products, able to produce foodstuffs for hundreds of millions, able to clothe the world, able to i do more manu facturing than that of the whole country today, with millions of available water power, 600.000 horse power for electrical transmission being already under development, and when you have catalogued these you have men tioned only a few of the South's strong points.
