Joy is a partnership, Grief weeps alone; Many guests had Cana, Gethsemane had one. —Frederick Lawrence Knowles. “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.

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. are not Intended to embitter the sections which are once more living In peace and harmony, working out their common destiny In fraternal good will. Their purpose 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 the cause of all the ja-ople should a sinister fortune ever plunge us Into war again. After the accident King Alfonso exclaimed: “I thank God for having protected me and my family.” Hopeful! If the Atlanta team keeps up this epidemic of sue- s we will soon have something to brag about. The more the meat Is "doctored” the sicker the peo ple become. GEORGIANS IN GOTHAM. of Tbe baltlmor* Sun says the sweet girl graduate Is 'as sweet as her mother.” That’s about as strong as you could put It 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- « political parties or political organisation* forget Some of the methods employed by the beef trust In making "country sausage” would make a nice, clean link of "hot dog” far preferable. 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 youthful author was making hla first flights Into By Private Leased Wire.

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, 805, D.

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. W. B. BURROUGHS, »I.D. Brunswick, Os., May 18, 1808. Sundsy Obstrvsnce. 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 ally and criminally destroyed: another class are allowed to ply tholr trade, not only church-going .hours, but work their employees from early dawn to 10 p. m.

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.

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. H. JACKSON.H 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.
