The railroads an liter own wont anemlee—their own Incoutex- uncles and car clearness are the things that cense tha public to antag onize them. The Georgian knows that tha South needs the railroads—that Its development Is dependant upon thorn, sad Tha Georgian haa not hesitated to exploit! through tu columns tho asnalblo words and aoM of President Finley aad others. But we tael only g supreme disgust for the methods they nae In thdr dealings with tha pahlle In aach eases as tha Brook- wood bridge disaster of Monday. The Georgian first called gttecttoa to the unaattzfaetory aad dan gerous condition of the bridge editorially In Its Issue ot February ». On February llth we printed a picture of It and asalo presented the dangers. Nothing was said or done, and on tha llth wa printed another picture and asked ler attention. Monday We brought the matter np for the fourth time. and. with an other picture, gave parte of remarks by a Southern official, who practi cally told ns wa had bast attend to our own business. Within four hours after The Georgian reached Its readers, the bridge gave way on tha At lanta alda. and an open chasm shout eight feat wide yawned over the tracks of the Southern railway thirty feat below. It was 7: SO o'clock In the erentdg and quite dark. There was no noise; the chasm could not be seen, and only for the tact that a negro man happened to ba mar there and gave tha warning, an automobile foil ot human freight, or pedestrians could have found death below, so far ae the railroad was cones reed. Now. you see wa happen to know that this wag more than an acci dent. aad we ahatt put tha blame wham ft bsleuge. It ao happens that on Monday, February U. 'the publisher of The Georgian called on Colonel C. la. Anderson, chairman of the board of coun ty commissioners, and asked hhn if. In addition to our calling this matter to the railroad's attention, ha could du scything toward getting action from the railroad company. Colonel Anderson naaure4.ua that the commission had done everything In Ita power to hare It attended to, except to place It In the bands of the county attorney, which would be 4|om at the next 1 meeting of the commission. Thia la. In Justice to the county commis sion. which tha suave Southern official says “Is making no kick.” Worae than nil, I* the trap that waa allowed to meMoe the public that patronise* the train* of the company- The fret trains ot the South ern railway coming from New York pass under this bridge aad In Mon day night's disaster hundreds at tons «f earth gave way and came within only a few feet ot the tracks, over which than* trains pus. end hundreds ot tone more are hanging by mere thread*.

CARTER IB A GOOD MAM, GOVBMMOR. The rumor that Governorclact Smith has Joalab Carter’s name writ ten on hie cuff te a memorandum seams to Justify Just a word from us —for two noons. If not more. Mr. Carter la almost tha dean of the newspaper profession in Atlanta. Thla make* his causa mm* Mr. Carter le a valuable and exceptionally well posted man—wa doubt If anybody In Georgia la batter posted as to every nook and corner of tha grand old state thnn he. Mr. Carter, though e newepaper man, has been too boneet to get rich, and we believe hie character Is such that no ambition nor poaltton could Induce him to do other than hfa duty to the eommonsrealth wa hope he will Iw glieu Ui sene.—— You know him, governor—he hu worked for you long and faithfully In the put. end we pledge you that be will nerve you with the name mo tives which The Georgian la glad to know will govaro your service of your fellow man In the office yon are about to take. U la probably uanaceaaary to direct the attention of pert paragraphere to the possibilities opened up by the g5 prise offer of a Gate City mao for the beat brochure on “llow one can spend four daya la Atlanta moat pleasantly." Frederick Ward* advises women to talk more and lonser. That fellow had about dropped out of sight, and It’s a pity he had not completely. If he la going to advocate that sort ot thing alt over the country. The Rhode Island senatorial dead lock ha* descended In the scale of “new* value." until It la now used as a "sandwich" for patent medicine reading notices. The average adult head has a dr cutnfsrence of twenty-two Inches. That was. however, before the Thaw trial Invented the “exaggerated ego.” The champion lady barber of the world shaved twenty-one men In an boar.

The proposition voiced In the common council to dlalnter tha dead paupers fa Oakland Cemetery in order to put Oh tala fate that have at tained a commercial rahis. hi* In it something so gruesome and mon- atronn In Its material grand that tha moral sense of tha city revolt* against It. The Oeorglan In Its commant upon this plan does not know and done not with to know who I* It* author and promoter. We delire to be lm- personal In Ita consideration and Condemnation. And we slnoerely trait' that repentance or overwhelming defeat may be the history of this measure. In all ages the ashet ot the ‘dead have been sacred to the living. When the poor are dnnd their faults and Imperfection* are burled with them. When the awful majesty of death reu Ita real upon the brow and lip of our common humanity the clay that has been touched by the scep ter of tha King ot Terrors, assumes a dignity that U beyond the sneer and cavil of our mortal standards, and. whather tha dasd be wrapped In sa bles or In rags, the mortal that is In us grows reverent before the sign and symbol of the noverelgnty that roust some day overwhelm us all. Nor Is It always trua that povsrty Is the badga of ehame and the proof of worthlessness and Inertia. The history of the ague I* sprinkled with the record* of paupers who have passed from hunger to Immortality. While Chatterton starved In a garret end Durr eat boiled chestnut* In llerlln. and "the world'* great artist had not where to ley hie head, we cannot tfoat with scorn the poor—for they are oallad "God's poor.” "They never had a fair chance." It may ba many a time a coward's apology, but It la sometimes the epitome of a great cramped, tortured, watted life, that even aa a caged bird trie# Its wings against the wires, his beat out Its strong heart against the Iron ban of circumstance, and fell at last beaten and helpless but not disloyal to the creed* and pur poses that make men great. -. We do not know the name* or the history of the unfortunate poor who are burled In our Potter's field. Rut we know their kinsmen and their clansmen of today, and we know among tffem many who are not. worthy of the ignominy of being dragged from long made graves, to give placo to the greed end gain of living man. It may be thet among that Indeterminate host that Has in the outer lines of Oakland cemetery there are aom* who have done good deed* and fought good fights In days forever gont. It may lie that torn* of them somewhere In this great big world have homes that they have left, and hearts that they have never had a chance to bid farewell, who If they could only know would thank God for the opportunity to give thorn a tearful and a Christian burial. We do not know. Rut we do know that Atlanta has nothing In Ita generous history that would Indorse the despoiling of a poor man's peaceful grave, because a speculative eye saw tbe turning ot a sordid dollar from the soil that held It against the Judgment day. For who knows—If we should sit silent now, and suffer commerce to rape our Potter'* field—but that In some coming age, when the un checked mounter of this ruthless materialism shall reach tu growth, tha eye of the speculator may look too long and loo eagerly upon tha enhancing acres of all Oakland ami of Westrlew, and that the bone* of our ancestors and our own—the ashes of the heroes who wore the gray, and the ashes of the great men who have bullded the material mlre-- cle of thia vaat New South—mutt In turn be dug from their honored tombs and carted Indiscriminately to new and distant quarters In order that factories may hum and whistles may blow, and the dirty dollars flow in sordid streams across the counters of the grasping developers of an even more material day. God forbid that the helpless poor should be snatched in Incom plete and disjointed elements from our Potter'a field—half of them buried lu Oakland's charitable acres and half ot them carted across the city to n less valuable soil—to await In fragment! of bones and ashes the call of the last trump. And even tt the measure be withdrawn, the voices that speak for these times and thn community of souls should not fill to record the protest of our civilisation against the suggestion which sounds the deep est depth that our materiallam has reached. When tbe dry bones ahnll rattle In the resurrection, we do not want the sundered skeletons of our pour to rise up lu Judgment against, this city of churches and charities to condemu us. SECRET SESSIONS ARE OUT OF STYLE IN ATLAMTA. Chairman Roberta, of tbe police committee of council, end Alderman Qullllan, B member, both good fellows, were so -Itetre.wd because The Gaerglsn found fault with their secret session Ideas that they Just couldn’t contain themselves, aad relieved the pressure at Monday’s las sie* of council by saying all sorts of naughty things a bo about The Georgian. Realty, now. boys. It’s time you found out that afar chamber ***- eloea, though they work an right fa Tammany Hall. New York, and fa a few other smalt- towns, era not tbe thing In Atlanta, and the public won't stand for such business.

Edmund Bark* said that there wore three estates th parliament, but that In tho reporters' gallery there sat a fourth estate more Important far than tham all. Chairman Roberts rails at the reporter and the publisher of The Georgian—In fact, I* angry with every body on tho paper,’down to the “devil." But really, Mr. Roberts, w# will have to tall the dear people what la being don* behind those closed doors unless, by special dispen sation, you will ffiva tham a little information yourself, or Issue passes.to a select few.

WATER WORKS AND MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. The Georgian finds upon further Investigation that It has underrated, rather than exaggerated the splendid figure* ot the water department which so superbly vindicated the principle ot municipal ownership of pub- llo utilities. lu to* editorial of th* 13th instant, wa estimated toe net earning* of toe department annually at 1167,400 and tha value of toe water depart ment. costing $600,000 to the city, was In the neighborhood of $7,000,000. General Manager Woodward directs our attention to tbe fact that we hare omitted to give the department credit for publlo wa- ter serrio* $171,740.40 In addition to toe cash receipts of...» $(0,421.74 WUeh makes the total earnings or th* department tor lbOd $462,162.14 From which w* deduct the entire amount expended for operat ing the plant, tapping and all expenses other . than Invest- in Improvements and additions to to* system 41M.23t.15 Leaving the net annual profit $333,930.99 And this represents a valuation of 4 per cent on an Invaetmant of $8,000,000! If the city of Atlanta ever made a better trade than that. It le not of record, and tf our munlctpst financiers can show another Investment of 1600,000 that has grown in so abort a time to $6,000,000, they can cover themselves with glory. But toe opportunity for usefulness and economy Is not yet lost for our public servants. The legislature and the mayor which Inaugurates a system of electric lighting and power under municipal ownership will bo perpetuated In toe memories of their fellows. Manager Woodward and the water department have furnished an ob ject lesson in tha matter of municipal ownership whlch evqn a blind man can read. Now let our electric commission of the, council bestir themselves and make some history for themselves, some money for the city and save some money to the taxpayer*. "•HOOTING SMUT AT ATLANTA.” To th* Editor of The Georgian: In disposing of old papers this morn- Ing I noticed th*. above cpption on a scrap In which some writer wss de fending Atlanta against a charge that she waa on a level with Pltteburg In immorality. Having been employed In the city many years ago, and attended some of her great meetings later, and was nev er In contact with any except n high type ot morality, I wnx pleased with thn defence, although 1 do not profess the hlgheat type of piety. Within the next hour after eeclng that errap In defense of Atlanta's high average tn morality, your Issue of the 9th Inst, fell Into my hands, and 1 was daxed by easing a conspicuous an nouncement that Atlanta would patro nise Pittsburg by the public presenta tion of «he foulest tragedy ever aired In a court In this country! The lead ing character In tht* rotten affair lx the product of Pittsburg atmosphere!
