A MSMAOI Of ATZJUVTAZ POLITICAL ATMOMUMZ. Thera I* a threat in the political atmosphere of a renewal of tbe old acaodal* of the police department, which were ao long a blot and menace to the politics of Ufa beat and claaaeat political city of th* South. Atlanta baa bean fortunate above Its sister cities In 4b* Integrity, harmony and th* eminent respectability of its government The only thing in our history of time past which has smacked of tha star chamber and tha “machine" waa the scandal and wrangle of the old police commis sion In the days of its factions and bitterness. God forbid that we should have In Atlanta a return of en evil wblcb we bad thought to b* paralysed If hot eradicated. The police depart ment la one which, above all thing*, abould be held high end clear of politics and free from tha domlaatlon and designs of politicians. It Is necessary to the laat degree tbat the guardians of the life end property end order of our city should be cboeen without dependence upon any man or any faction of men. It la essential tbat the police department should be fra* and untouched by any obligation except Its civic duty sod the wel ter* of the people. Th* eltlsens of this twentieth eentufy city should rise promptly sud resolutely In delinks and determined rebellion against any effort to re establish the police department aa a political machine. We may be mis taken in the apprehension tbat thla I* about to be done, and we have no desire to do Injustice to any mao or any set of men. but we remember so keenly and so protestlngly tbe old regime In which tbe police factions bed Atlanta by tha throat In a feud aa fierce as that of the Capulets and the Montagues, that we are wilting to risk something of deliberation In the well meant and public spirited warning against any repetition of that old regime. We have to sty In this connection simply this: That tne press Is more than ever a representative of the people, that Its engine of warfare Is not persecution but publicity, and tbat so honest newspaper tbat feel* It* re sponsibility and loves the people It represents, can fail to do It* duly fear lessly and frankly la tbe exposure of any evil which threatens or which actually exists. We earnestly tout tbat tbe police department' of Atlanta may be conducted frankly and fairly In the clear open of public-observation and that no phase of our municipal govarnment should fear the direct and searching gaze of the people for whom It stands. DELPBTN DELMAS’ SECOND OPPORTUNITY. We have written once In these columns of a great opportunity which Delphln N. Delmaa, the California lawyer, fronted and well nigh realized at the national Democratic convention In 8L Louis. As It appears to us now, Delpbtn N. Dolmas fronts another oppor tunity of equal If not greater scope when he rises to make tha conclud- toy aneeeh fnr thn-dofandanl In tho trial of Harry Thaw. And the opportunity lies now not so much In the skillful ind plauaF ble defense which the eloquent attorney may make for his client upon the basis of the "unwritten law,” or upon the more or less tenable plea of emotional inaanlty. It la to be expected that the lawyer will exert bis skill and Impress his personality and his convlotlons upon the Jury', and that hit place among the advocatea of the great city with whom hence forth he hat ranked himself, will depend ppon the measure of his success In saving his client from the gallows, or upon the force of the eloquenco and argument which he displays In bla behalf. And there I* much which the trial baa developed to elicit a sympa thy and consideration which the public has not felt for Harry Thaw be fore. Whatever the previous character of this young man may have been, the evidence has established the fset thst bis Intentions were hon orable toward the Tittle woman he ha* made Ms wife—that he offered her not a dlahonorable relationship but a high and secure position ns the wad ded wife of a man who waa willing to glv* her hla name and his protec tion. And when Harry Thaw heard, aa the explanation of her refusal to marry him, the sorrowful story of her betrayal by Stanford White, hla subsequent attitude toward her cannot fail to command the rqppect. If not the sympathy of most men He covered with the mantle of a more than ordinary charity tire' corrupt and dishonorable love which had cast ahaae upon this mere child In her teens. He remembered her unfortunate girl hood which led her an easy victim to a seducer's wiles. And ho did not for ge! thst the ovll Impetus of an unnatural mother, and of n whirling and wicked environment rushed her Into a life which she did not seek and to which she unwillingly yielded, and fnr which her loyal lover pilled her and forgave her and sought with persistent and earnest effort to lift her up to a better level of womanhood aa bis wife. All these things the famous and eloquent lawyer from the Paclflo elope who has come to live In New York may touch with the eloquence of the advocate and the conviction of the man. But to the mind of thoughtful observers of this gruesome but none the less famous trial, the grand dramatic opportunity which Delphln N. Delmux fronts, la the opportunity to point the moral of the life of Stan ford White. No matter how much Jerome In hla relentless questions may blacken tile fame of Kvelyu Thaw: no matter how much of condemnation may- lie visited upon the previous life of her defendant husband; no matter what clrrumataocea may arine lo condemn the defendant lu the final tragedy which coat a human life—the reeding public of America hat been ■hocked aud startled beyond even the measure of tht*,scnsatlonal age by the disclosures of the life and practices of Stanford White. Measured by the evidence which It already In and awnrn to, thla waa the most monstrous and the most msgnlBcent libertine who has been uncovered In the century In which we live. Not the Dorglas of Italy were more scientific In murder, more skillful and more pitiless In In trigue. than this brilliant architect, by the testimony of hla victims, waa relentless and Irresistible In hla organized and well prepared search for the honor and the virtue of the young and unebrrupted girls of the great metropolis In which he lived. By nil the reeorda sworn to up to the present time, this man was a sybarite of debauchery. He was the most oriental and luxurious rake In hla subtle and splendid equipment for tbe ruin of women that New York lisa ever known, at least under the light of publicity. The man seems to have bad a very genius for female destruction. All the splendid talents which had advanced him so rapidly and sus tained him ao permanently among the brilliant architects of the greatest dty of the western continent—all the brilliant gifts of mind anil the ex-' qulslte charm of gculal manner with which nature had equipped him— ull the magnificence of hla personal appearance, and ill the aedurtlve elm queue* of a tongue that might have been set to noble and uplifting Ihiugs -seem to have been consecrated In their deepest force and Intenaity up on the one baneful purpose of the pursuit and destruction of the young women whose advent Into New York be eagerly watched and diligently followed. The description of his room or of hit several rooms with their sensual splendor of equipment and their urlentnl suggest Irenes* of love and lust —all the uses to which he put the flower* which l!od gave for the better ment of the tuonili amt purpose of the world—all tbe skill of hla archi tectural Itr^u and the defines* of his gifted tongue, seem to have been brought lu their Intensest and richest glow to the gratification of pas sions which meant the sacrifice of the one great gift which holds woman liuod nearest to the Aral mother and nearest to the heart of the world. There may be other men In New York, lu Pari*, and In 1 .ondon ns (Omiirehi-nslve and aa splendid lit their ~oep« of seduction and of lust. Hut we believe that the records will sitatalu ua In the aasertlnn that pub licity never yet In one oPRheee cities lias found ao arch, ao Infinite, so monstrous and so magnificent a libertine as Stanford White. And when Delphln V Delinas lias done hla duty In the summary ami marshalling of the points which look to the exculpation of Ills client and to the vindication of his ellent's wife, lie ought to render to the society of which he Is to become a part, end of that greater public which, through- out the United States, has followed the detail* of this remarkable trial, the compensating Justice of picturing this unparalleled and married seducer.- in ilie vivid color* III which he shows, and In |>oltiling tbe moral of his life lo the 30.000.000 or the lO.OOO.OOll or the e0.000.000 of people who are wait ing now to nail the concluding speech In Hie trial of Harry Thaw. Stanford White hn« 1.1,111: friend* III the rlty uf New York, ami by the eocy ta asnnl tbe Influence of tbe courts. I make no nttack on tbe gentle men of tbe board, but protest against tha evfdaaee they are among Urn grant and powerful. Setae of them may have been sympathisers with tbe undercurrent and the baser purpose of hla sensual and baneful life. Some of them, by their reeorda, wo thonld think bavo sever known th* shadowed aide of this brilliant architect whom they admire. But i whoever the*# friend* may be, however high and numerous, how- ovar strong tbe public opinion which the district attorney may evoke to whitewash the moral* of the min who had so many Mend*, the pablle of America looks to Delphln N. Delmaa, who atanda at laat In tho rsspon- aible position of opportunity and of duty, to paint this man aa he abould be painted, and to denounco him aa ho should be denounced to tho vindi cation of American manhood, to th* protection of American womanhood, and to tha satisfaction of tha outraged and indignant eon science of oar civilization. - , If Delphln N. Dalmaa began so superbly and failed somewhat sorrowful- ly to sustain himself In the national convention of gt. Louie, let him realize tbat he has a greater occasion and i larger opportunity here. Beginning aa tranquilly aa be may and proceeding aa carefully aad logically as b* can lit the marshalling of hl« evidence and In the presentation of his advo cate's plea, let him not forget that by reason of position and of the great and Incomparable audience to which he apeak*, that he ateDds also and above nil things aa the advocate her* of American honor, and its tbe repreaen- utlr* of tbe outraged decency of tha American republic*.

The old next la III chosen, and no one mild more quickly deny the Idea Ini piled than Mrs. Mims, were ehe here.

To the Editor of Th* Georgian: Permit a constant reader of your val uable daily to edfSpIlmenl you upon your moir dlgcilmUiallng leader of February U on th* subject of th* union at the. Cumberland and the Northern Presbyterian churches. Your last paragraph strikes a chord whloli will ra-acho In many heart! and ought to pause the spirit of every sin cere Chrjltlan man to vlbrata In ap proval. It may be Interesting to you to not* that while you wore preparing your article 1 waa preaching In Valdosta •m the subject of Christian unity, when I said: "It la not the Infldel we have to fear nor the agnostic to dread; It la not convent materialism nor the wick edness of the unconverted which I* the principal obstacle to the progress of Christianity, but th* sorrowful, over- apparent fact of disunity among Chris tians of whom the Dlvln* Master ut tered Hla great princely prayer, that they may be one. as we are 'that the world may believe Hint Thou hast sent Me.' l.et the church** mlnimlie their differences and emphasis* their points of agreement: let them labor and pray mid move not for union, but for unity." . Wisely you eay "the more unions at 1 hurches there are the better." How we wish that the press of our day would enter upon a campaign for thla object! What vast possibilities ar* yours.

Captain Hobson Is making this sub ject the theme of many or Ills ad dresses.
