“Independents” and “Nondescripts.”
Mr. J. W. Jordan of No. 427 Piedmont avenue ad-
dressed The Georgian some time ago a polite Inquiry
as to the meaning In present day politic* of the words
"nondescript" and “Independent."
Mr. Jordan’* letter was delayed, much to our regret,
and reached our attention through another source. It
in not too late, however, to give to Mr. Jordan’s Inquiry
that polite and thoughtful attention which the writer and
the^ubject demand.
Mr. Jordan la entitled to a serious and respectful
answer, not oouehed In flippant frivolity, nor In rank
partisanship, but written with the desire to furnish
frank and honest information to a frank and honest In'
qulrer.
For the word "nondescript’’ we have not much to
say. "Non” mean* not, and "nondescript" means "not
crlbed." therefore we shall not attempt to describe
it other than to say that In the general acceptation a
nohdescrlpt In politic* I* one whose view* and align'
merits can neither be prophesied nor understood. The
term Is disrespectful and the Implication that It convey*
of apathy and Indifference adds nothing to the dignity
and repute of the object to which It la applied.
The word "Independent" Is a much higher and a
much nobler torm. Tho prefix "In'* In this connection
also means "not,’’ and "Independent” means "not de
pendent,” which means also free, but by no means
abandoned.
An Independent In politics. In the best and general
sense of the term, la one who la not willing for cabals
and caucuses and combinations to dictate either his
alignment or to prescribe the limit of his loyalty to tho
convictions which he entertains. An Independent may be
n better Democrat or a better Republican than a regular
caucus slave who blindly votes what the cliques and
caucuses declare It la his duty to vote. An Independent
Is a man who thinks for himself and acts for himself, and
in most cases the Independent In our present day politics
is that man who chooses to doclde for himself whether
organisations are true or untrue to the people and to the
principles which they profess to advocate
tuelr principles and platforms, and remember only the ! history” writing. He owes it to the world to make this
schemes of politicians or the distribution of sjiolls. It Is j retraction, but it Is he and he alone who will be bene-
not only the right, but the absolute duty of any brave filed by this tardy art of Justice. JofTcrson Davis’ mern-

both to party and to people.
We believe tn parties, and doubtless Mr. Jordan doe*
too, but we feel sure that Mr. Jordan. If he Is the honest
cltlxen we take him to be, will agree that no honest and
fearless cltlxen who believes in certain principles, and
has Joined hlmaelf to certain organisations'or parties to
establish them. Is bound to austaln these organizations
when they forget or betray the principles and policies
upon which they were founded. To let this spirit be
known In the way to bold political organizations to their
faith.
The name Independent Is growing In dignity and re
spect throughout the republic. It never had greater cur
rency and greater weight than it has today. It la the
spirit that is shedding the light ot publicity upon the rot
tenness and corruption of the age. It la tbe spirit that
la holding parties to a stern accountability for loyalty
and consistency to their professions, and it la tho only
spirit by which. In the midst of the seething and selfish
politic* of this age, the Integrity of parties can bo re
stored and the rights and liberties of the people be re
established.
If Mr. Jordan does not like this definition and will
give us bis reasons for dissent, we shall bo glad to dis
cuss tbe matter further and courteously with him.

Is to teach the youth of the rising generation something
of tho heroism and self-sacrifice of the Southern people
during the four yeara of bitter trial through which they
passed, and thus to Inspire them to heroic courage In

ever plunge us Into war again.

The Death of Senator Gorman.
The death ot Arthur Puo Gorman removes, from
the stage of public affairs one of the most conspicuous
figure* In the Democratic party.
For a quarter of a century, with the exception ot
three yeara spent In private life, he has been a member
of the United States senate and haa always been look
ed upon as one of the most vigorous and conspicuous
members ot that august body.
Individually he may well be regarded as a conspicu
ous example of the self-made man. He began life as a
page In the senate, when he was but 13 yeara of age,
and discharged tbe duties of that position until long after
be had attained bla majority. After aervlng In tho
upper and lower house of the Maryland legislature, ho
was aent to the Federal senate In 1381, and for twenty-
five yeara continued aa the leader of the Democratic
party In his native state.
Now that he has gone to his last reward there
will no doubt be many conflicting opinions aa to his
character and work. That he was a man ot extraordinary
ability there can be no question. But he was, after all,
politician- rather than a statesman, and he held, per
haps, too strictly to tbe ides that "only fools and dead
men never change their opinions.” There was a cer
tain amount ot Instability In his' character which dis
counted all hla better achievements.
But he possessed a personal magnetism which made
for him warm and lasting friends, while his genius tor
A Democrat, for Instance, who by atudy and tnherl-1 political organisation wrs universally recognised.
IBs death la too recent tor the world to see him in
the true perspective, perhaps, but hla determined and
heroic opposition to the force bill In 1889 will long be
accepted as covering a multitude of alns. Ho made
gallant stand In behalf of the rights of the South at a
time when they seemed to be seriously Imperiled and
"bayonets behind the ballots" became almost an accom
plished fact.
HI* great abilities directed along the loftier line*
of atateimanahlp, Instead ot the art* ot the political bosa,
would have aecured to him a more lasting fame, but
he was a man ot many excellent qualities ot mind and
heart, and hla death it sincerely mourned.
tone* ha* Imbibed an Indestructible belief tn the prln
ciplea of tbe Democratic party aa laid down by Thomas
.li'fferaon and Andrew Jackson, or a Republican who, by
tho same process, has become a fixed believer In tho
Id*'** which descended from Alexander Hamilton and
Abraham Lincoln to the Republican party, may find upon
(•cr.-isloni that selfish cliques and rings, covetous only of
power, and not of principle, seeking self preferment In
stead of tho triumph of principles, reaching after per
sonal fame and profit rather than the establishment of
the great principles which concern popular rights and
Itbartiaa, offond the hoceaty and the Individuality ot In
dependent men oven through the ranks of tne separate
organizations to which they belong.
These men of proven loyalty to tho great principles
of political parties, and scorning the spurious loyalty
ot spoils, sometimes find It necessary to robuko tbe self
ishness and corruption of the cliques and cabals of their
own organisations, and to stand like bravo men and
true men for principle!, and great policies, rather than
for expediency and for selfish men.
8uch Independents deserve to be ranked among the
greatest and the noblest figures of the political history
of this country.
Such a man was John C. Calhoun, the South’s In
comparable alattunaa, to whom principle wae always
transcendent over men, and who followed consistently
the principles of his creed, even If they led counter to
the schemes and organized trcaaon of selfish representa
tives. If there Is any mao In this garish age of aelfish
I oh tics who would impugu the Integrity or the civic use
fulness of John C. Calhoun because be was un Indepen
dent. the opportunity Is open to him here.
Alexander Stephens was such a man, when In tho de
fense of his consistency and Integrity, be flung Into the
face of tho ruling forces of the Eighth congressional
district of Georgia, the statement that he was able to
"tote hla own skillet," apd challenging faction to a teat
of strength from which it shrank, demonstrated as he
always did that he did not hesitate to dare the preju
dices of a people whoee dearest Interests be defended.
Such a man was William J. Bryan, who time and
again In Nebraska followed hla party principles when
l( led against his party leaders, and who lives today
In the respect and confidence of tho Democratic ijarty
above all the tricksters and time-servers ot the genera
tion about him.
It waa men like these who In the atormy election of
IkM, rose above the claims of faction, and In the Interest
of patriotism and the public welfare, rebuked the Iniqui
ties of the Republican party as represented by James G.
Maine, and re-enthroned by their independent votes the
Democracy under the flrit administration of Grover
cu-reland, of New York. •
These were the men, who In the last election ex
pressed their disapproval of the barter and sale of Dem
ocratic principles to mere expediency and the hope ot
i-access as represented by Alton Parker, and out of re
buke to the disloyalty of leaders, elected Theodore Roose
velt by over a million majority to the presidency of the
United States.
We say to Mr. Jordan that parties are necessary for
the triumph of principles In this republic. Without or-
gaalsed effort and co-operation, principles and policies
cannot be carried to success, arn^ In tbe main we believe
that no light and trivial consideration should move men
14 separate themselves from their parties and the politi
cal organisations to which they belong.
But we do not hesitate on the other hand to express
the view that the chief mission of parties la to se-
tbe triumph of principle*, not to establlah the tuc-
of Individuals or ths distribution ot spoils
Parties were framed for thl* purpose. Political or-
i. -tlons were created for this cause alone, and when-

Jefferson Davis' Birthday.
Sunday waa the 98th anniversary ot the_ birth of Jef
ferson Davis and throughout the Southern state* appro
priate ceremonies are being held In honor of his memory.
At the state capital Hon. Hooper Alexander deliver
ed an addresa on tb* life and character of the great
chieftain which waa marked by the eloquence and force
which always characterize hla utterance*, and a number
of croeaee of honor were delivered to deserving veto-
rana by the Daughters of the Confederacy.
There I* no roan in the civil or military history ot
the Confederacy who holds a warmer place In the hearts
of tb* Southern people than Jefferson Davit. It has
never been contended that In well rounded character and
Intellectual force he waa the equal of Robert E. bat.
This stainless knight of the civil war stands out In the
memory of the people of every country as so perfect In
every aspect of his nature that even at this period after
hla death he appears to belong more to the paladins of
Godfrey and Richard or to the Round Table companions
ot Arthur rather than to the history of modern times or
the heroes ot recent conflicts.
But-a peculiar pathos attache* to the life and suf
ferings of Jefforson Davis. That he. too, waa a high-
minded patriot who dedicated the best efforts of his
mind and heart to the cause of the Confederacy there
can be no doubt.
But over and beyond this he lingers In the recollec
tion of the people as tka Incarnation of the “storm-
cradled nation that fell.” and In the persecution! to
which he was subjected he was In a large measure a
vicarious sacrifice for the whole South, both civil and
military.
It would have been enough for a man of his deli
cate sensibilities that be should be taunted as a traitor
when, aa all the unbiased world realises today, he was
but contending for a theory ot government which had
found followers North and South ever since the founda
tion ot the republic.
But the peroecutkm did not stop at any auch ab
straction aa taunts and sneers. .»
It will always remain aa a blot upon the civilisa
tion or our common country that an old man, bowed
with the weight of yeera and sorrow*, should have
been manacled by tbe upetart Miles. History It coming
to do him Justice aa time goee by. In a recent encyclo
pedia. published by one of the largest firms In the North,
and general in Ita circulation, wa read that he waa ‘‘sub
jected to the ncedlees degradation of manacles,” and the
best thought throughout the North fully realises that fact
now.
It matters but little whether Theodore Roosevelt
apologises to the feeble cod fast falling widow ot tha
dead chieftain for the strictures passed upon him while

The Mecklenburg Declsration.
Editor The Atlantn Georgian:
thank you for your kind letter Just
received. Your very valuable dally I
read with much Interest and great ben
efit. Nothing more can be said In Ha
praise than haa been said. I hav*
bound coplea of The Savannah Geor
gian for 1128 and 1839 complete In
two volumes.
Sunday, May 20, was the one hun
dred and thirty-first anniversary of
the Mecklenburg Declaration of In
dependence. What thoughts arise at
the mention of this name. Our city
has many uaeful and valuable men
who claim the Old North State as
their nativity, and I exhibited on Sun
day, May 20, the fac simile copy ot
the orixlnal document. What a lofty
pride should fill the minds of the de
scendants ot thesa signers. What
bravs heads and hearts and hands they
possessed. I can almost picture their
tope*, their fears, their aufferings, and
how we all rejoice In the triumph
which crowned their weary labors, and
gavs us a lofty rank amidst the em
pires of the world. This document,
with the original agreement made by
Eteklel Alexander, chairman of a
committee to make contracts for ball
and cannon, near Charlotte, In 1778,
ona of the original signers, I will have
on exhibition In the educational de-
mrtment of the state fair In October,

waa not her first act of re
bellion against oppression. As early
aa 1877, the northern part of Carolina
reslated the tax on tobacco. Georgia
territory waa .embraced In Carolina
that time.. The tax waa two-pea
pence
on each pound sold to any one who did
not ship to tha mother country-. This
unconstitutional tax upon American
subjects was misted by John Culpep
per and hi* friends, who seised Miller,
the collector, and took all the mon*y*
received In hla office and used It to
preserve the peace, etc., of hie llt-
cla atata of Albemarle. Maasachu-
setsa, Maryland and Virginia clam-
orad loudly that thay should also ba
relieved of taxation, but were compell
ed to pay. Culpepper went to Eng
land In tha Interest ot hla people; was
arrested and Jailed, but never tried.
He was a man or ability, and rich tn
argument. With the assistance of Lord
Shnftsbury, he was discharged without
any punishment. This occurred a half
century before Carolina waa divided
Into two states, and a century before
the general American revolution.
All honor to the Old North State.

Editor The Georgian:
The attitude of the "Goddess ot Jus
tice” Is represented as that of blind-
-of Indiscrimination toward tho
Individual or corporation of Individuals.
No reasonable person will deny tbo
equitableness of such Construction. To
ths extent that a people depart from
this sound basis, from this fundamental
principle, to that degree they provoke
their national downfalL
In a particular sovereign state, a
component part ot a boasted republic,
their statutory laws were so written
that the cltlxenshlp of said state ware
satisfied. One class of cttlsens were al
lowed to run their business every hour
through the whole twenty-four of tho
sacred Sabbath day. working their em
ployees tho same as any other day,
carrying passengers, mall, etc. An
other class of cltlaans wore allowed to
publish and clrculats thousands sad
scores of thousands of newspapers—
circulate them, not only through the
malls, but through the Innocent, un
sophisticated hands of poverty-en
slaved boys, whose Sunday conscience
and Sabbath reverence la thus tragic

only church-going .hours, but work
their employees from early dawn to 10

If the mammon-blind element, the
nobility element, that can lobby the
making and administration of laws
to suit their own aggrandizement, con
venience and Indulgence, had never
existed In this world, what a higher
record of history would have been writ
ten. They are not the class who.rever
ence the Sabbath: they are not the
class who love Justlro nnd mercy; they
arc not the class, as The Georgian
tersely pointed out recently, who help
"struggling enterprises," but they are
the class who love to reap all the ben
efits.
In conclusion: The element of true
manhood that still exists In our na-

of employees, the hripless little nuwx

righteous freedom and rest on Sun

discounts tho chattel slavery of the
week that follows It.
Ws should see to it that neither the
expression of our statutory laws nor
their Interpretation or administration
shall conceds any rights or privileges
to the better-to-do or wealthy not
vouch-safed to those without property
—the violations of the rich class must
not be simply winked at while there is
punishment for the humble and grind

Editor The Georgian:
It Is summer time, with hot weather,
decayed fruits and bad sanitary condl-
dltlons that usually cause alarm when
numerous deaths and a large amount
of sickness before effort Is made
to check It Would you not confer a
great favor by requesting the people all
over the state, and especially the In
habitants of tho various towns to see
to It at once that all sanitary condi
tions Br* complied with oiid rlglldly
enforced from now until frost. Every
town should have n hoard of health
gulilod by advice of one or more physi
cians to prevent sickness. Every well
that drinking wnter Is used from should
be ventilated ot the top and all the
water drawn out and mud, etc., taken
out at least every sixty os ninety days
to prevent fever, etc. Every pond of
stagnant water ought to have kerosene
oil poured Into It more or less In-pro
portion to Its else, and If In danger of
giving away from a big downpour of
rains during the summer the dam
should be strengthened now or the wa
ter allowed to run out, for tbe giving
Iway of dams and water running out In
summer, leaving the mud and muck ex
posed to hot sun causes a death-breed
ing miasma to be strenuously avoided.

Bayard Taylor first saw the light In
Cheater county. Pa., In the year 182
It Is said that his mother, with lov
ing Intuition, felt the longings of her
gifted boy, and, In order to give him
freedom from toll and time to read his
books, she let him tend the buby mem
bers of the family. And It Is good to
know that the mother’s loving heart
was richly repaid for her efforts.
At the age of 19 Bayard Taylor be
gan hla travels and writings. From the
beginning he was successful.
A few years loter he married Mary
Agnew, the sweetheart of his boyhood.
But, Bios; the sweet companionship
did not last long. Mar}’, "the pale
sweet flower," hod consumption, and
soon passed Into another life. Under
the shadow of this great sorrow the
poet wrote some of his most beauti
ful poems.
And who can read "The Winter Sol
stice” or "Autumnal Vespers" without
feeling a response to the heart-beats
In these exquisite poems.
“The light Is dying out o’er all the
land.
And In my heart tho light Is dying. She
My life’s best life, is fading silently
From earth, from me, and from ths
dreams we planned
Since first lore led us with hts beam
ing hand
From hope to hope, yet kept his
crown In store.
The light Ib dying out o’er all the land:
To' mo It comes no more.”
*1 never knew the autumnal eves could
wear,
With all their pomp, so drear a hue of
death;
I never knew their still and solemn
breath
Could rob the breaking heart of
strength to bear,
Feeding the blind submission of de
spair.
Yet peace, sad soul! reproach and pity
shine
Suffused through tears; bend thou In
prayer,
Rebued by love divine.”
Later he wrote "The Phantom” and
■The Mystery,” two beautiful poems
that hold the sadness of earth blended
with tho sweet faith of heaven. From
•The Mystery" we get these lines:
"But thou hadst gone,—gone from the
dreary land.
Gone from the storms let loose on
every hill, ,
Lured by the iweet persuasion of a
hand
Which leads thee somewhere In the
distance etIU.
Simplify the Lawe.
Editor The Georgian: H I
Much has been said regarding the de-
lay of the courts as an excuse for
lynch and mob law. The courts arel
powerless ns the laws now exist and
the legislative power Is Slone to blame.
The legislators meet and pass numer
ous laws each time and the various
technicalities are taken advantage of
by the lawyers whenever a case Is car
ried Into the courts. Ths numerous
laws are a menace to Justice and a
burden of expense that Is Increased to
an alarming extent. The lawmakers
should repeal and modify the laws of
every character and simplify them and
then the court* will not be delayed and
Justlrs ran be given, criminal* punish
ed and expenses cut In all departments.
This would affect the attorneys, for the
longer they can keep a case In first,
one court and, another and relatives
and friends of criminals can put up
money the more they get, while the
state Is put to more expense for prose
cuting. Yet, the public ta always con
demning the courts end feel justified In
taking the lew In hand, and. In so do
ing, cause trouble and a' growing ten
dency to disregard law. If the laws
W’ere simple and easily understood by
criminals beforehand,sfreed from .num
erous technicalities and speedy trials
were not had and quirk punishment,
then there would be lets cause and ex
cuse. Less law, better law; leas court
expense to taxpayer* I* In big demand
and on this line It Is hoped the next
session of the Georgia legislature will
set an example to the Southern states,
If not the entire conntry, and If this
Ican't be done, let them frame s lew
electing s body of aged, experienced law
yers, such, for example, as Judge Hop
kins, Hlllyer and other well known at-,
tomeys In the state, whose reputation
■Where e’er thou art, I know thou
wearest yet
The same bewildering beauty, sanc
tified
By calmer Joys, and touched with soft
regret
For him who seeks, but cannot
reach thy side.”
After the death of hts wife, Taylor
again began his travels. And It Is sold
’’pen In hand he traveled and wrote.”
He delivered course after counts of
lectures In the brief nightly pauses of
hla ton* winter Journeys; he wrote
novels, he wrote editorials, criticisms,
letter* and miscellaneous articles for
the magazines and newspapers. "He
tolled a* few men have tolled at any
profession or for any end."
In "A Wayside Dream," the poet
takes the reader Into tho silence of hie
heart, and telle him something of the
thoughts that come to him while he
Journey* far from the home of hie
boyhood.
It wa* In Florence, 1867, when he
waa recovering from s fever that h*
wrote "Casa Guldl Windows” In this
old palace Mrs. Browning had lived
while In Florence, and It warms one’s
heart to read his tender appreciation of
this great woman, whose spirit he
fancied hovered near him and banished
the pain from his aching body.

peals to us In all his moods. Some of
his poems, "The Bedonln Song,” for
Instance, Is full of spirit find fire.
Then In “Artlculo Mortlo” he gives us
the sob of fi broken and bleeding heart,
and that most solemn thing, forgive
ness In death. To him the gift of song
was a thing divine—something to be
used only for a noble and beautiful
purpose. His life was a perfect blend
