a certain amount of personal risk In pulling off one of
The General Assembly.
The members of the general assembly are arriving
on Srery train. On Wednesday the house and senate
will be called to order by their respective officers and
will settle down to business for the summer.
Death has made but few Invasions In the ranks of
the present body, and the old familiar faces are> with
us once again.
For the remainder of the aummer, speaking in gen
era] terms, the law making body of' the state will be
with us and will concentrate Its attention on u num
ber of measures of great Importance.
There was a great deal of unfinished business at
the adjournment of the legislature last summer, and
much of this consisted of measures which demsnd
prompt action.
Among these are the various bills providing for pure
elections. Hon. Boykin Wright's measure, amending
the election laws so as to prevent the buying and
selling of votes. Is one of the most Important of these
measures. Much has been said of this measure already,
but tho Importance of It cannot be exaggerated. Tho
people of ,the state are determined that the practice
of illegal voting, either In primary or regular elections,
shall cease, and they are heartily In favor of the most
rigorous provisions looking to that end.
The appropriation for the Jamestown exposition
Is also favored by the state at large. This will be one
of the most Important Industrial exhibits ever seen lp
(ho South, and It would be little short of a misfortune
If the great Empire State of the South were not repre
sented there next year when the gate* are thrown open
to tho world. We do not anticipate thst there will be
any serious opposition to the appropriation, and It should
he passed at the earliest possible moment In order that
Georgia's exhibit may be placed to the most advantage.
The bill by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, aimed at the lobby-
lxtH, providing that “legislative counsel or agents" shall
register with the clerk of the house, should become a
law. It Is a long step toward tho regulation of lobbying
and tho elimination of whatever Improper methods may
obtain In the practice.
The agitation In favor of pure food lcglalatlon has
stirred the whole country and gives a timely and em
phatic significance to the bill prohibiting the ndultera-
tion of food In the state of Georgia. This measure, also,
was Introduced by Mr. Wright, of Floyd, and will moot
with very general support
One ot the most Important ot all tho measures boforo
the house Is the bill providing that all railroads operating
In this state shall be Incorporated under tho general
laws of this state. The anomally ot having to deal with
great railroad systems which have no corporate status
under the laws ot the state Is an oversight whlcb should
not bo tolerated longer. The dlcuaslon last year revealed
tho fact thst while there was some opposition to tho
bill, tho people themselves were heartily in favor ot it,
and It should be among the very first measures to go
upon the statute books.
This, however. Is bardly secondary In Importance
tn the bill ot Mr. Alexander, proving that the state road
should be extended to the sea. Tbe time is rapidly ap
proaching when the present lease of the state road must
expire. Something must be done to provide for the
future, and there Is a atrong and earneat sentiment tn
favor of Mr- Alexander's plan. It will come In for a
goodly amount of discussion during tbe present session,
and It Is generally agreed that It la one of the moat vital
ipiestlona before the people of the state.
Thoso are, la fact, but a few of the most Impor
tant measures before the legislature at this time. The
general assembly Is composed of patriotic and Intslll-
gent men, second to none who have ever met here, and
the people expect a great deal from them. The pre
liminary work Incident to the reassembling will be over
In a day or so, and then ths members will come down
to hard work for the next fifty days.
We are confident that they will give a good account
of themselves.
these collisions, for tbe man who pulls the lever has Uf
Jump whllo tho engines are going at a high rate of speed
and there Is always a chance that be will break bis neck
which would bo almost as exciting as to see him gored
to deatb. Still there would not be so much of butchery
to make a Spanish holiday and we think, on the whole,
tbe morals of tbe spectators would not be quite so much
depravqd.
Tbe forthcoming event will be watched with great
interest and we heartily recommend It to the young king
of Spain and the rulers of the Spanish American repub
lics of high and low degree.
A Text from the Lunch Counter.
At one of Atlanta's leading restaurants on Monday,
fifty men were gathered around a circular table at tbe
hour of noon.
A gentleman of observant mind, having finished his
own dinner, quietly strolled around tho circle- to see
what his neighbors were eating. Only one man out of
the fifty had upon his plate a ptece of roost beef or any
Imported meat. The reat-wero confining themselves en
tirely to vegetables, soups, fish and chicken.
We learn that on yesterday tbe Cudabys shat down
a $600,000 meat plant In Louisville, Ky.
So It goes. The people are swift la these newspaper
days to know tbslr enemies and to know their dangers,
and swift to rebuke iniquity when it Is made dear.
Honesty la tbe best policy.” Old as the copy books runs
tbe proverb, and the desire to accumulate frequently
reaches the results of the dog with tbe bone, who snap
ping at the bone In the water lost the bone In his mouth,
We have no doubt but that the meat monsters of
this generation have lost more In a single season by the
exposure of their horrible and cruel dishonesty than
they have gained by the pracUce of their Infamies for
tbe last three years.
The result no man can know. It Is perhaps true
that In this generation at least there will not be as much
meat eaten as In tbe decade which has gone before. It
will take the mass of people a long time to get over the
Conception of poisoned meat or to whet their appeUtes
with the recollection of the monstrous Iniquity and un-
cleaoness Of the great flrmi that hare been accuatomed
to supply tbe tables ot the people with this element of
food,
ft will be curious to watch the result of a diminished
meat consumption upon tbe health and spirit ot this peo
ple. Japan has recently enlightened the world upon the
capacity for work and endurance which can be built out
of a fish and vegetable diet, and It may be possible that
the object lesson of Japan, followed so soon by tbe mon
strous object lesson of the meat villains. Is designed by
destiny to change In part tho diet, and perhaps tbe health
and endurance ot this great American generation. Who
can tell but tbat this horrible debauchery ot poisoned
meat which has been going on longer than any of us
can tell, may be In part the explanation of the germ dis
eases, the microbes ot cold, cholera and meningitis, and
the otbor multiplied diseases which have distinguished
this generation? And who can tell but that the large
Providence which moves In the affairs of men may have
bad a hand in all these exposures, so as to give a new
lease of life and health and strength to this chosen peo
ple, upon whose shoulders rests the hope of liberty and
progress ot the world?
This Is rather a large editorial to grow -out ot a
lunch counter text, but taller oaks In times past have
grown from smaller acorns than this, and while It would
not be safe for any man to predict that the American
people are drifting Into a raco of vegetarians In diet, It
Is reasonably sdfe to predict and certainly pleasant to
hope that It will bo a long time before we are such vora
cious moat eaters as we have been la tbe past.
A Substitute for Bull Fights.
Arrangements are being made for • unique sensaUon
by way of celebrating the Fourth of July up In the state
of New Jersey. An enterprising railroad man. who baa
always had a morbid love of railroad collisions, has de
cided to pull off one ot these frightful Impacts as a spec
tacle and la selling tickets for the performance.
It will be somewhat expensive, to be sure. Tbe two
slant engines which wilt be used for the head-on collision
have been purchased at a cost of $25,000, for while they
are somewhat old they are by no means out ot commis
sion, and are worth something more than they would
f-tch as old Iroa.
He has laid a track and engaged his engineers—
“young dare-devils," he advertises them to be—and will
have everything In readiness when the glorious Fourth
arrives.
Railroad men throughout' thst part of tbe eountry
are said to be very much Interested, as well as the public
lu general, so In spite of tbe enormous sum which be la
expending the Impresario will no donbt make quite a nest
sum.
This Is not the first time that such s stunt has been
i- lUsd off, to be sure. But heretofore. It Is contended, the
cuKinea have been so old and feeble that the collision
»as little better than a farce. This time It will be the
real thing, and the celebration of tbe Fourth of July up
that way will be a notable event.
The thought occurs to us that something of this kind
might be introduced In Bpnla and In Spanish American
countries as a substitute for the bull fight, which Is com
ing in for so much of the reprobation of mankind. That
ike bull fight is brutal and brutalising there can be no
doubt. K the public must have excitement why not give
It to them la tbe form of a combat between two looomo-
Colonel Charles E. Harman bas this day paid his
assessment aud formally announced for alderman, for
the Eighth ward of Atlanta.
It was our pleasure some months ago to comment
pleasantly upon the entrance of anotbor gentleman Into
the race to represont this ward, and we cannot, do loss
than say that Mr. Harman’s entrance adds a brightness
and flavor to the race In the Eighth which will be ap
preciated throughout the city.
There sre few brighter men In Georgia than Charles
E. Harman, and It may be added tbat there are few
more popular. Hts long connection with railroad af
fairs, his wide experience with men and with money,
and bis high character for intelligence and probity make
hts entrancs Into local polities a theme ot congratulation
to those who wish well to the government of Atlanta.
It goes without saying, that Mr. Harman will make
strong, brilliant race, and that the Interests of the city
will be essentially safe In his able and experienced
hands.
To the Virginians of Atlanta.
There la a case ot charity which appeals particularly
to yirglnUni ot Atlanta. It Involvea a Virginia girl—a
tale ot suffering, a drama or unaelfiah sacrifice, and a
tragedy which threatens to follow upon a tempted loyalty.
A paltry sum can straighten out a sorrowful tangle In a
young woman’s life and aet two young feet once more In
happy paths of usefulness and right. It la only a few
boura work that will be needed, and the Vlrgtnlana In
Georgia will find the Georgians In Georgia responsive In
cooperation. But what la done must be done Immedi
ately—before tomorrow's sunset.
Let those who are Interested apply to Mrs. J. B.
Wiley, ot the Flrat Baptist church, or to the head of Cir
cle No. 2 ot the King's Daughters.
The Russian Decay.
It Is a great pity tbat there waa a Portsmouth Peace
Conference.
It Is a pity that savage Russia la not now governed
by a wise Japanese mikado. Instead of a weak,'vacillat
ing, terror-strieken exar.
A nation that tolerates maisacrea, a nation that
cannot restrain Its rabbled millions, should be under
subjugation and a wise protectorate. Russia la far
from being a civilised nation.
The recreant officials ot the rotten government
look on while helpleat men, weak women and Innocent
children nre brutally slain-
The world stands aghast at the tales ot rapine and
blood that the cables bring from tbit wretched land.
A government that cannot protect Its children la
worse tbsn no government A nation tbat can. and
will not, enforce laws of peace and order, la a cowardly,
barbs roes nation, and It la ahame and disgrace thst tbe
world sits calmly by and permits tbe horrors to go on.
Ood does reign end the day must dawn when these
poor, harried Hebrews will not be driven from their
homes, when the cities and villages of darkest Russia
will no longer be lain ot beasts, and shambles of grief,
sorrow and despair.

BAPTIST MINISTERS
AREM, TORRE
RESOLUTIONS TO THAT EFFECT
ARE ANNOUNCED ON
TUESDAY.
Northen. president of the Business
Men's Gospel Union and the leader In
the movement that brought Dr. Torrey
to Atlanta, haa made hla any.
Governor Northen waxes warm In hi.
atat.ment. He says he hopes the con
troversy la over. He also say. that If
those who contributed to tbe fund for
the revival meetings aren't satisfied
with the results he will personally pay
back their contributions, end—
That those who didn’t contribute
anything to the meetings aro butting
Into whst doesn't concern them when
they critlclile.
Hls card follows:
It has been my purpose, at the proper
time, to make n public statement about
the unfortunate state Into which the
cpmmunlty has been precipitated be
cause of criticism upon the Torrey-
Alexander mission, alleged to have
been made by the Baptist ministers'
conference, held some days since.
I am candid to say, ■ when b read the
;published report, I was shocked, as was
the entire'community. Shocked, be
cause of the account given of the pro
ceedings of the conference and shocked
again, because of whnt seemed to be
the remarkable revulsion of opinion as
against what.had been the strong posl-
tlotT taken-by the conference up to that
It waa impossible for mil to reconcile
these two positions—so absolutely con
flicting, and I was deeply distressed.
Soon after reaching my office last
Tuesday morning Dr. Millard called me
over the 'phone to say thfe published
report was erroneous.
In the forenoon of the same day Dr.
White called at my office to say the
same thing, and he showed me the
card to be signed by several members
of -the conference, denying that the
public statement at all represented the
spirit or the sentiment of the meet
ing. Later, Dr. Ward called to con
firm this -view. I have a letter from
Dr. Briggs, from which I quote:
“The meetings were productive of
great good. Dr. Torrey Is a man of
God. All Atlanta, is under Isstlng ob
ligations to the Business Men's Gospel
Union for bringing these consecrated
witnesses to Atlanta.”
Othsr members of the conference
have expressed themselves In the city
jreaa through Interviews and peraonal-
y signed cards.
Whols Mattsr Settled.
These facta coupled with the action
taken yesterday by the Baptist minis
ters, In conference assembled, plainly
and fully setting out their true posi
tion, should fully and satisfactorily
settle the whole matter In the minds of
all the people and bring us again to
dwell together, as Christians, In peace,
In harmony and In love.
It Is due. In’this connection,- that I
should How give even more fully tho
insltlon of the Baptist ministers' con-
'erence upon the coming Uf Dr. Torfey
to Atlanta.
When the Business Map’s, Gospel
Union was considering the possibility
of securing Dr. Torrey'*, services, Dr.
Broughton presented the,' master be
fore the Baptist ministers' conference,
stating that the Gospel Union had
such purpose and such plan In view.
The whole matter was freely discussed,
whereupon a resolution was adopted,
appointing a committee from the Bap
tist ministers' conference to co-operate
with the Business Men's Oospel Union
to the end named.
Dr. Millard was made chairman of
this committee. He at once communi
cated with me, announcing . that hls
committee wns ready to render the
Gospel Union all the help necessary to
secure the Torrey-Alexander mission
for Atlanta. With this committee, It
Is due to say. Dr. Broughton actively
co-operated and without the help given
by Dr. Broughton and the committee
from the Baptist ministers' conference
It It more than likely DC. Torrey could
not have been Induced to holjl hie mle-
every possible way with the proposed
mission:
“Resolved, That the Evangelical
Ministers' Association heartily sympa
thises with the movement of the Busi
ness Men's Gospel Union to secure
the services of Messrs. Torrey and
Alexander for evangelistic meetings In
this city during the month of May,
190«.”
"That, as a conference, we agree,
each pastor, for himself, as far as pos
sible, . to devote some portion of the
month of April to special services for
the awakening and revival of Chris
tiana and tho salvation of unbelievers
In order that the beat results may be
achieved by the Torrey-Alexander
meeting.” \
Surely all these things, now takep
Jointly, and In the beet of faith, are
more than sufficient to satisfy the peo
ple that the Baptist ministers of the
city have not been properly and fully
understood, and, therefore, the criti
cisms upon them have been wholly un
due. We should all hasten most lov
ingly and gladly to repair whatever In
jury may have been done to the cause
of Christ and to ministers who have
been to unduly censured.
Can we not now all come together
In the nama of the Most High God to
do Hls service In 'the “aWnkenlng and
reviving of - Christians and the salva
tion of -unbelievers. In Order that'the
best results may be achieved by the
Torrey-Alexander mission?"
The Governor Waxes Warm.
Before, this end can be fully reached,
It le necessary to notice at least one
criticism from among the many that
have been made directly upon the
plans of the Business Men's Gospel
Union. Tills one has come to us from
all kinds and classes of men, ministers,
laymen and unbelievers. It began
when Dr. Chapman waa with us. It
has continued, unabated, since that
day. It developed In greater force
when Dr. Torrey came. It has, finally,
been hurled at ua from the pulpit as
the statement of Rev. W. T. Hunnlcutt
of this city. He Is reported'as saying:
"The Torrey-Alexander revival serv
ices held here recently received 25,000
worth of advertising, and If It had not
been for this they would have failed.”
Mr. Hunnlcutt has Just informed me
that he was reported correctly In this
statement. As to the accuracy of the
statement I have nothing to say, but
leave to him for further Investigation.
This criticism has come to us in
many forme. If Mr. Hunnlcutt oon
tributed any money to the expenses of
the mission and is now not satisfied
with the results and will ao Inform me,
I will gladly return to him the amount.
I desire to make this statement even
broader. If there ie any man in At
lanta or elsewhere who put a dollar in
to the Chspman meetings or into the
Torrey Mission and now believes tho
investment did not pay. and will ao in
form me, he shall have hie money back
the instant he reports.
If Mr. Hunnlcutt or any of the scores
of people who aro talking like Mr.
Hunnlcutt did not contribute a dollar
to the expenses of tho Chapman moot
ings nor to the expenses of the Torrey
Mission, lot me toy, plainly, very plain
ly, it io none of their business what those
meetings cost and does not lie in thoir
mouth* to rush into tho press and cer
tainly not into the pulpits nor in tho
corridors of hotels to censure tho Gos
pel Union for being willing to put up
$5,000 or any other amount, to be used
legitimately, in tho salvation of men
and woman from t^e tortures of the
damned. We have not yet learned the
money value of a human soul.
Price to be Paid For a Soul.
God pity the times upon which w*
have fallon If we are to be held In
check and first determine the price to
paid for. a soul.
At the meeting of the Baptist Min
Isters* conference, held Monday morn
Ing, at which the differences of certain
members of that body and
Clarke, Jr., a Constitution reporter,
wefe discussed,- the following resolu
tions were passed: ,.<
"In vl$w ot the accounts of the pro
ceedlnga of the last session ot this con
ference, published In The Atlanta Con
stltutlon ot June 10, be It
Resolved 1. That the utterances
therein reported as having been made
by one or two of the members of this
conference were the expressions of their
own invldlduai opinion, and this con
terence In no way put Itself upon rec
ord as agreeing or disagreeing with
said brethren.
"Resolved 2. That there was no sug
gestion Intended, or step taken toward
preventing the return of Dr. Torrey to
the city of Atlanta, and no committee
proposed or appointed for that purpose.
One member of this conference, in the
exercise of hls personal libsrty. quietly
stated that If It were left to him per
sonally, he would not Invite Dr. Torrey
to return next year. Some preaent ap
proved of this sentiment, others did
not. The brother referred to, however,
added that he believed In the gospe'
which Dr. Torrey preached.
w "Resolved 3. That the atatement
made by one of the brethren relative to
'tainted money' was not used by him
with reference to the Torrey-Alexander
mission, but was suggested as an ob
jection that was liable to be urged by
objectors .against all union evangelistic
efforts as such.
"Resolved 4. That as this conference
took no official action upon the subject
of the Torrey-Alexander meeting last
-Monday, It here and now officially
states that it Is of the opinion that
eald meetings were a great Meaning to
the city of Atlanta; that It regards
Messrs. Torrey and Alexander as men
of God, powerful In the Scriptures, and
greatly used of the Holy Spirit, and
that It has taken no notion contrary to
the resolutions unanimously adopted
May 28, which are hereto appended.
'They are as follows:
"Resolved by th£ Baptist ministers'
conference of Atlanta, Thnt they thank
God for eendlng Messrs. Torrey and
Alexander to the city of Atlanta, and
for the great blessing that haa already
come to the people of our city through
their labors: and, second, tbat we as
sure these brethren, and the Business
Men's Gospel Union, ot our heartiest
sympathy and pledge our earnest co
operation.' ”
In A statement made Monday night.
Mr. Clarke corrected certain parts of
hls story on the meeting ot the Baptist
ministers. He said:
"During the executive session It de
veloped that there were four matters of
fact In regard to the meeting concern
ing which 1 had been mistaken and
which I cheerfully desire to correct.
"No motion was passed to Indorse
Dr. Landrum’s speech: no motion was
made or passed to oppose Dr. .Torrey's
return: the reference to the taint of
money greed was not used by Dr. White
with reference to thtf Torrey meeting,
but with reference to the general de
feet of great union evangelistic meet
Ings. Dr. White did not say that the
Methodists would Join the Baptists In
opposing Dr. Torrey's return, but re
ferred to the fact that he believed they
would co-operate In a general evangel
istic movement along the lines he had
outlined.'.'
When asked If the matter had been
closed, Dr. John E. White said:
“The differences between the mlnla-
tors' association and Mr. Clarke have
been eettled. Mr. Clarke said volun
tarily that he had made misstatements
In four particulars. With this admit
ted, there Is nothing more to be said."
HANDSOME CHURCH
WAS DEDICATED
slon here.
Baptists Took Initiative.
It muot now be quite apparent to all
the people that the Baptist ministers
took the Initiative, through Dr. Brough
ton, and the mtnleters’ committee, In
bringing Dr, Torrey to Atlanta.
Quite as Important as this statement
Now, brethren, let this matter be set
tled forever and aye. If any person
does not want to take part with ua
we will certainly not object, but we
will be absolutely unmoved by the
opinions of men who set a money value
on a human soul.
Let us bfc done with such things, and
"let us follow after things which make
for peace and things whereby we may
edify one another."
