GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
“Porteut, there It a proverb thou ahouldat read:
‘When flattercra meat, tha Otvll gote to dinner.’"
—Peter Pindar.
An Unprejudiced Review.
The Constitution and Tha Journal teem to be In
politics utterly hopeless and Irredeemable.
The Constitution Tuesday morning has twenty-nine
columns about Mr. Clark Howell and Mr. Hobo Smith In
a comparatively unimportant and sbsolntoly resultlets
debate at Albany. The Journal on Monday evening bad
upon the mere preliminary report, eleven columni, and
will doubtless have between fifteen and twenty this
afternoon. So that the equilibrium of space will dqubt-
less be squarely maintained between them.
But think of the apace: twenty-nine columns In one
paper, eleven In another and twenty perhaps this after
noon. wiii make an average of nearly sixty columns of
rending matter about the two candidate* wbosq wrangles
and quarrels have sUrred the state.
And think of the conflicting statements. The Copetl-
tutlon says Clark Howell “smashed" Hoke Smith. The
Journal says Hoke Smith “crushed'' Clark Uowoll. Both
smashed. Both crushed. Both annihilated. And yet both
continue to live and chirp. Whet widely conflleUog
statement*! Are both right? Impossible. Are both
false? How torrowful In newspapers of good ropute.
How can the public credit either of them any more on
subjects of Interest to themselves?
Will the reader remember that this campaign Is
nearly cloven months old? WIU the reader also remem
ber that this Is tbe fourth ronsecutlvo debate betwoen
these gentlemen, and that scarcely a new point has been
developed from first to last out of tbe stormy wrangle of
their passions and ambitions?
And tho worst of It Is that nobody except the parti
sans of either paper gives anything more than a mero
casual credence to anything that appeara In either
organ upon the great question of who Is going to be gov
ernor of Georgia and what principles are going to tri
umph in tho gubernatorial campaign.
The correspondent, Mr. Glass, whom we sent to Al
bany yesterday has been a resident of Georgia for only
threo weeks. He has been long accustomed to mix
with politics and public occasions In .Tennessee on tho
Nnshvllle and Memphis papors, and ho Is truly and ab
solutely Impartial betweon the relative claims of Mr.
Smith and Mr. Howell. Tho reports which ho sont and
brings back from Albany wo firmly bellovo to be as fair,
as Impartial and os absolutely correct as It Is possible
for nn Intelligent end honest man to make the record of
a public meeting.
Our readers can peruse It with perfect confidence
and can derive from It Just such Impression ns a fair
statement of the facts will make upon their minds. We
give the report as tbe report of tbo paper, which Is
confirmed by every Impartial description which wo hevo
had from personal and disinterested sources returning to
Atlanta-
The results of the four debates have not been sat
isfactory, although both of tbe candidates havo recently
given more attention than usual to tbe discussion of great
Issues of the campaign. We foel that the only way In
which such clashes of conviction can be of Interest to
tho voters would be to discuss these groat questions
which are vital to tbe people'* tntoraet without passion,
without prejudice and without the miserable Interjection
of personal abuse and vituperation on either aide.
As the campaign progresae* The Georgian will en
deavor more and more to give the facta as they are
between theae two striking figures of tho campaign. No
staff representative of this paper would color or misrepre
sent the facts In these political gatherings, and this Is the
beat guarantee to the people of Georgia that the fairest,
most accurate and moat trustworthy reports which they
will receive during the further progress of this cam
paign will be found In the columns of a free, fair and
fearless newspaper.
Meanwhile, let us all thank heaven and the better
angels of the state that the campaign has only etx
more weeks to run.
reached the conclusion that ho should run for tho ol
of governor on tho Lincoln Republlrsn ticket and he has
consented to do to.
There Is nothing new In this tendency of literary
men to enter political life and to make a distinguishing
mark In that lino of work. Both before end after his
achievements ns a statesman. M. Disraeli was a success
ful novelist, while Lord I.ytton was at least as highly
esteemed In parliament as he was In the boudoir where
his florid romsnees held undisputed popularity for so
many years. It Is to him that England Is'Indebted for
the acquisition of Vancouver's Island and for many other
stroke* of statesmanship.
These are but the first Illustrations that come to
mind In this connection, and a moment's reflection will
easily suggest dozens more. Churchill, at least, may
reasonably expect to be elected on tbe reform ticket
and there Is no reason why bs should not accomplish
something worth while a* chief executive of tho etate
of New Hampshire.
| The career of the scholar In politics will bo watched
with Increasing intsreat If ba should be elected.
Romancers As Statesmen.
When Job the patriarch expressed the pious wish
that his enemy would writ* a book he did not contem
plate that this would be the surest road to political ad
vancement and renown, for they did not manage things
so well in tha land of Us.
But this Is a different land and time, and It now
seems that as soon as a man makes a bit with a novel
the next step Is for his friends to gather around him
and nominate him for some political position.
Tbe author of “The Jungle" has attained a world
wide celebrity. He la looked upon as the logical antag
onist of the octopus. Consequently he has bean nomi
nated for congress from New Jersey on the Socialist
ticket and there are those who do not hesitate to urge
bint to enter the race lor the presidency.
If he were to attempt to carry out bla reforms with
in tbe ranks of the Democratic party there would be
t-ome likelihood of bla success, for he he* certainly set
the civilized world to thinking, but the moment he an
nounced himself as a Socialist he queered the gam* end
neutralized his power for good. ,
It Is very different with Winston Churchill, however.
He has been a member of the New Hampshire legisla
ture for the past two years and thus has had an oppor
tunity of learning a great deal about practical politics.
It Is a far cry from hla first novel, “The Celebrity,"
to anything like a problem novel, but In "Conliton” he Is
said to have utilised tbe Information gained In political
life (or the pnrpoee of drawing-an effective Indictment
agalnat railroad domination In the affaire of a state.
The Boston and Maine railroad la the particular of
fender for which Mr. Churchill haa been gunning, but It
aeemt to be accepted that tha abases complained of are
not peculiar to New Hampshire, and the Indications are
Chairman Taggart Should Resign.
It seems to be pretty well agreed that Hon. Thomas
Taggart can best serve his party by resigning his posi
tion as chairman of the Democratic executive committee.
The levity with which he scouts tha Idea finds no such
echo In the mind* of tho people of the country in
general.
It Is an undisputed fact that the French Lick
Springs resort has boon a synonym of gambling for a
long time and the place has been generally alluded to
as the Monte Carlo of America. Through tho Instru
mentality of tho attorney general and tbo governor of
the state of Indiana a recent raid was made on tbe
Casino and a large qu&nUty of gambling paraphernalia
wai captured- The Idea that Mr. Taggart did not know
that gambling was bring carried on Is sbsttrd In !•■
very face and no man who It clothed and In hie right
mind will believe It for ono moment
Tho proprietor of tbe building—since he claims that
he xya» nothing more—might hare mado almost any
kind of Qefonso and It would havo been more graceful
and more plauslblo than to maintain thnt he was Igno
rant of the fact that gambling was going on there.
Everybody knows that that was on* of the mainstays of
the resort It Is an Insult to the Intelligence of the
American people to ask them to boilers |n his Igno
rance.
There Is n general sentiment throughout the coun
try that Mr. Taggart should resign. Ha did not do his
party any good during the lost campaign. He wsb
held up to the world ss u gambler and a "sport" through
out tbo campaign, and to this was added the fact that ho
seemed much more Intent on hts own business than on
the eleoUon of the Democrat!? nominee. Ho was not
much of a general In tha political field.
To leave him In the tame position during another
contest would be deplorable Indeed. In a few months
there wilt be an election to choose members of the
Sixtieth congreee. This comes at n time whon the
whole country Is aroused on tbo subject of reform. A
wave of social and political and commercial morality
Is sweeping over the country and tbe pooplo are de
termined .that this ethical awakenlDg shall bear fruit
The Republican party le already In a position to reap
tho benofit of a great deal of this sentlmant, notwith
standing the fact that they have merely stolen Demo
cratic tbundor la putting Into execution tho reforms
which the Democrats have beea demanding so long.
At the samo time It will do tbo party no good to have
at tho head of tho executive committee a man whoso
Monte Carlo has boon closed as a gambling resort after
enjoying an unsavory reputation for many years.
Whatever may be tbo fine distinction drawn as to
tbe person responsible for tbe gambling at Freoch Lick
Springs, tbe one fact remains that If Mr. Taggart wants
to servo hla party he can do It best by resigning at once.
The East Lake Improvements.
Tho people of Atlanta who bavo recently been to
East Leko can have little conception of the deop and
lasting debt which they owe to the Atlanta Athletic
Club.
A tew months ago the club bought several hundred
acres of this beautiful property and have oxpondad upon
It a generous sum of money, which Is bring constantly
addod to. and which will bo constantly reinforced for tho
next four or five yeprs. The metamorphosis wrought by
the teste, energy and liberality of the club has already-
given to this city tho finest country and athletic resort
In oil tho South, and one which has few superiors
throughout the country.
Heretofore our little sister of Birmingham has been
accustomed to vaunt her superiority over Atlanta In this
line, but hereafter Atlanta, thanka to the Athletic Club,
holda the pre-emtnonce In this line of development, and
bae bullded and la now perfecting an Institution which
will be an ornament and a restful, helpful and healthful
charm to all the people of this capital city of the South
With a lake for hosting, which le beautiful and am
ple for every demand, with the finest golf course In atl
the South, and with the finest set of tennis courts south
of Chicago or New York, the athletic feature of this club
Is built upon a foundation which offers unlimited possi
bilities for success and development In the future.
Ae the slow but steady process of beautifying goes
on year after year, as the trees grow larger on the av»
nues, and the gras* begins to grow green upon the
lawns, while the club house* are perfected In beauty
and convenience, this country annex to the Athletic
Club at Eaet Lake will make an ornament ot which ell
Atlanta may be proud, and In which Atlanta may be
happy.
Few Institution* In recent years have had a more
wholesome, more healthful and a happier Influence upon
the life and development of the young men of Atlanta
than the Athletic Club, and the building ot this splendid
addition at East Lake Is the crowning achievement and
glory of an Institution to which Atlanta le already deeply
and happily In debt.
THE FIRST CHARTER OF EAST POINT.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
In my story of John F. Bible, In The South Fulton
Enterprise of June JO, and which you epitomise in a re
cent Issue of your valuable paper, I say:
"The embryo city must have a charter and Just
as that charter was written. In his own handwriting,
by John F. Bible, U passed the Georgia legislature
and a new municipality was born.”
A correspondent disputes this, alleging that the
charter was written by Captain Conley. Kindly allow
me space In which to set the gentleman right. My state
ment as above Is In every particular correct. Some
three or four years after the charter waa granted. It
was proposed to ask the legislature tor a new charter
giving the young city greater powers. This charter was
written by Captain Conley, and superseded the charter
under which East Point was established as a city- My

GEORGIA'S INSURANCE BILL.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
Knowing the ability and the willingness with which
you always rally to the cause and Interest of the people,
and especially to that of the Emplror State of the South,
I ask permission through the columns of your valuable
paper to call attention to one of the most vital questions
of Importance now before the people of this state, pre
sented to them through the legislative body as represen
tatives of the whole state. Not only does this question
affect the present generation, but future ones.
I refer to the bill ss Introduced by Senator Foy, of
It Is the gambling
nt to retain and
it Is the gambling feature which brings the revenue.
As ono oiprewod It In the Kimball house lobby a
nlghta ago, "they hare the toat and they are going to
hold It until the milk goes dry.** The purpose of our
bill la to choke them off the teat and to stop the milk
from running.
No one can dispute that the gambling Is Immoral,
Illegal and contrary to public policy and should be sup
pressed. North Carolina tried a law In 1S87 In which
it was attempted to draw a distinction between so-called
legitimate and Illegitimate transactions and this law
waa Ineffective. In 1904 the legislature of North Caro
lina enacted a law which has prohibited future specula
tion In that state. The substitute bill now pending be

“EXCHANGES” AND “BUCKET SHOPS.”
To tho Editor of The Georgian:
I havo read your two editorials In defense of local
exchHUges. Will you please explain to me I lie difference
between losing a thousand dollars In a bucket ohop and
.losing a thousand dollara on the so-called exchanges?
Do you deny that It Ib a fact that these so-called ex
changes will allow any person regardless of his occupa
tion iind regardless of IiIh purpose In buying to specu
late through theao exchanges provided that he will put
ill) the margin? Do you or the no-called exchanges con
tend that because tho exchanges will not recelvo frac
tional orders that It will lessen the gambling on futures
because a contract with an exchanga requires more mon
ey than Is required In a bucket shop? Don't you know
that this can be evaded by pooling arrangements be
tween several parties who desire to Hpeciilnte and will
do so In the name of one person? How can you probibit
bucket shops without prohibiting so culled exchanges?
If a bill should be passed requiring that every corpora
tion, firm or individual engaging In tho business of deal
ing In futures should bo required to have a certificate
of membership on some legitimate exchange, who Is to
determine which exchange Is legitimate am! which Is Il
legitimate? Ib there any prohibition ngnltiBt the form
ing of other exchanges? Is It truo that the New Or
leans exchange and the New York exchange are the only
oxchangeB that can exist? The bucket shops can easily
get together and form an exchange upon the floors of
which purchases and sales can ho made under tho samo
rules and regulations required upon the New York and
Now Orleans exchanges. Such has been done already in
the organization of tho Consolidated Stock Exchange of
Philadelphia. Metropolitan Stock Exchange of Boston,
National Board of Trade of Kansas City. Mo., National
Cotton Exchange of Memphis and Superior Board of
Trade. Superior, WIs. If such a bill was framed nlmlng
exclusively at so-called bucket shops It would not run
out the bucket shops or the exchanges either. It would
Just simply mean that all of them would run on ns they
do now, because the bucket shops can organize ex
changes and havo membership on them tho same as the
so-called legitimate exchanges now have membership.
All ot this opposition la not for tbe benefit or the
farmers, tbo business men and producers of thla country,
hut this opposition Is being carried on by tho so-called
exchanges and bucket shops, the purpose ot Which Is to
prevent any bill which is drastic enough to prevent the
tbe people of Georgia than to pass the bill as Introduced
by Senator Foy. I am sorry to say, but the state of
Georgia has not kept pace with other states 1n the protec
tion of her citizens by having and enforcing strict life
Insurance laws; In my opinion there should be created
separate state life Insurance department, presided
over by a state official whose duty would be to recom
mend proper Insurance laws, see that same were en
forced, and that no life Insurance company be allowed
to do business In Georgia except that company organised
and operated upon honest and scientific life Insurance
principles.
I do not make the suggestion of creating tbe life
Insurance department with any political Interest In view.
I have chosen life Insurance (the sale of It) as my pro
fession. I have not now, nr ever did havo any political
aspirations, neither have I any friend In view to recom
mend to fill the position as suggested to he created.
Thanking yen in advance far nn; prominence you
may give this letter, or Its purpose, I am yours sincerely,
B. W. TORRANCE. .
This Idea Is advanced to uphold prosent social and
economical conditions.
If this Is true, and It doubtless Is, then present so
cial and Industrial conditions are not natural or are op
posed to nature.
The only law which does and can exist. Is natural
law, and like the laws of tho Modes ami Persians n-v
er changes.
Natural law treats all mankind alike. It treats the
king and hts slave alike. Upon no other grounds can
the Democratic slogan of "Equal rights to all and apo
dal privileges to none," exist.
This Democratic slognn, unless It applies to both
king and slave alike, la not sincere.
To apply to those alike It must abolish tho name and
tho calling alike. All men ent, tlrlnk, wear clothes and
dwell In houses In obedience to tbs natural law of self
preservation. The possession, then, of these things la
after the iaw of natural right. To deprive mankind of
these things Is to make the natural right to these things
the property right of those who withhold them from their
fellows.
This unnatural property right of the few In the nat
ural right of all Is the bone' ot contention betweeu those
who own this right In small degree, and those who own
It In a larger measure. In other words, present political
parties who are or have. beer. In power, are simply par
ties of those who claim to own tbe natural right of alt
men to food, clothing and shelter. Those wlm are dis
possessed of these natural rights urn not parties to these
political deals, or stockholders In these political parties
any more than the paper upon which Is printed the gov
ernment function of money. Is money. The paper stands
for tho laborer or slave, nud the printing or wording
thereon stands for those who own the natural rights ot
the laborers or slaves. Tbe laborer Is a slave, simply
because he worships tbe printing or stamping, which ho
does not understand. Instead of the paper which he does
understand- The printing or stamping Is all thero Is
ot capitalism, and the blank paper Is all there Is of labor
under the present functions of government.
One may prevent his fellow roan from enjoying nat
ural law, but they cannot thus destroy the natural law,
or deprive the other of the natural right to the I- .
natural law. This Democratic slogan of “equal rights to
all" to be effectual or of use, should read “equal rights
of all to tha use of their natural rights."
A man, a mule, the earth, tho air, the water, the seed
and the mm make a crop of wheat Is this crop after
natural law or human opinion? Or after natural right
or human edict? To whom does this whent belong, and
by what right Is there any ownership? If man’s opinion
can perpetually obstruct or stop the operation of natur
al right can ho not perpetually obstruct or stop the op
eration of divine right?
Which candidate for governor of Georgia stands for
the natural rights ot tho man and the mule In making
the crop of wheat? Feudalism was abolished, chattel
slavery was abolished, why not wage slavery? Is not
John D. Rockefeller sound In denying the natural right
of any but his own? W. A. JOHNSON.

NEW YORK COMMERCIAL
COMMENTS EDITORIALLY
ON TORREY-ALEXANDER
Under the caption. "An Ags of Cant,"
The New York Commercial has the fol
lowing odltorlal comment on the Tor-
rey and Alexander system of revlvole:
We or* tiring fa a striking age from
whatever napri 1 cm-iblered tin age .if
decadent creeds and changing stand-
aids Th- historian of the fuliitc, In
summing up tha snllent characteristics
of tho present Inhabitants of the United
States, will no doubt classify them as
the moat restlessly progic-t.iv,- pi-
tbe greatest road, etty and empire
builders that this world has known,
and an essentially practical race. On
the other hand, th* amazing facility
with which so Intelllgont a pooplo sub
mits to being exploited by any religious
fakir or thaumsturgltt that Just hap
pens along will not escape criticism
from the Orsents or Gibbons of future
ogee.
It was refreshing to And the esteemed
Public Ledger not long ago rejoicing,
apparently, In certain strange discover
ies and tidings ot gnat Joy that hod
been brought to the good people of
Philadelphia by a Doctor Torrey and a
Mr. Alexander, Itinerant "evangelists"
or "missionaries,” or "revivalists." For,
while Philadelphia may possibly lack
some of the briskness of New York
and other large dries, yet surely the
marvels alleged to har* occurred under
Tlberiue Caesar should have reached
that fair dty by this rime. They were
etale news even when Constantine, led
by Ms Empress Helena, promulgated
an official religion tor the Western
Roman empire, only sixteen centuries
ago, and since that rime these wonders
have certainly been exhaustively dis
cussed In all thetr possible bearings on
human society as well as the proved
Interpolations In the few passages of
contemporary writers which refer to
them. Yet, notwithstanding the deduc
tions (so contemptuous for certain
forms of primitive beliefs) arrived at
by masters of tha human Intellect—
such men os John Stuart Mill, Spencer,
Darwin, Huxley—at the present mo
ment, to onr discredit be It sold among
English-speaking races, the .profeselon
of "Howling Dervish" for which Ignor
ance le a good qualification, le one of
the most Immediately profitable that
even a get-rich-quick schemer can turn
his attention to. *
The good news that Philadelphia wag
asleep and needed reviving reached the
ears of Doctor Torrey and those of the
similarly Inspired Mr. Alexander at an
opportune moment, and they very laud
ably hastened to Introduce salvation to
the city of brotherly love. A much
wider field of effort hoe presented Itself
In France. And what may not have
been tost to the French population by
tbe absence of these reverend gentle
men at this precise Juncture? The
government and legislators of that
country have been engaged for a year
or more In a rough-and-tumble fight
with "the church"
was a precious opportunity for our re
vivalists, either as umpires or. better
stllL participants In tha fray. In tha
nhai-ncr c,f tiny nu ll rham|ilnns "Un
church" over there has been worsted,
and the principal French newspapers,
with few exceptions, nro congratulating
t!u- K -v.-rnnu-nt opoa Ita Vjctsry.
In our own land we appear alow Ini
realising that cant end superstition
are tbe deadliest enemies of human
progress. Has education not sufficient!
ly advanced among ue to render Horn
Ohosters, Dowletsm, spook worship and
other such religious masquerades Im
possible? What renders such beliefs
possible In the first Instance? There
lies the crux ot the problem. Thirty
yeare ago, when France, still trembling
after her tremendous defeat by Ger
many, was being reorganized by such
pure patriots as Qambetta and M.
[Thiers. Paul Bart, then minister of
K Mbllc Instruction, sddresssd tbe chain-
■ r of deputies to the following effect:
"It le not our domestic discords. It Is
not England, nor even the trained Ger
man legions that constitute the great-
lest menace to Frenchmen and the
prosperity of France, still bleeding from
[her wounds, bus the man In black.*"
IHIs memorable words have borne fruit
But aa to tha vultures who, under a
clerical gnrb and under all kinds of
denominations, are allowed to Impose
on the credulity of the British or
American public without restraint such
ss these were not tolerated In France,
Germany or Bwltterland at any period,
but were amenable to tha law as rogues
or Impostors. The French minister waa
|referring only to the orthodox regular
French clergy, good enough for the
feudal ages of Europe, but now deemed
I mischievous, reactionary and a breeder
of debasing superstitions.
Ie there no lesson that odr cultivated
and more thoughtful class of citizens
can derive from this great French na
tional movenffnt? For such tt Is. Are
the “shepherds" and "tub-thumpers,"
the types ao well portrayed by Charles
I Dickens, forever to ba encolirsged and
go unrebuked by the press of this coun
try? We must decline to believe that
Philadelphia waa asleep and needed
awakening by Doctor Torrey and Mr.
Alexander. The Reverend Doctor Case,
chairman of the “mission." announced
that the total expense of "the revival"
reached 140,000. Th# profits were nbt
stated. In this kind of business they
Inever are, nor their disposal. On a
rough calculation tt cost about 86 a
head to convert a Philadelphian. In
Atlanta, the next "stand" for the two
worthies. It no doubt cost much more.

TRIBUTE TO THE GEORGIAN.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I was glad whsn The Georgian waa
launched, and, commencing with the
first number, I am a subscriber aa long
aa It le run by such a man as John
Tsmple Graves. It Is a splendid paper
and Just such a dally as every true
Georgian should and will be proud of.
It haa but one possible fault, and that
la tha restrictive word "Atlanta” to lta
Leave off the word "Atlanta"
and 1st "Tha Georgian" be the name.
We people down here In Carroll
formed a large Hoke Bmlth Club on tbe
first Tuesday. It will soon have a ma
jority of the white voters of tht coun

ere of this county are Smith men. We
are very proud of Hon. Hoke Smith
and Intend to elect him In spite of the
many low down efforts being made to
Injure him. The lowest we have seen
le the picture of the negroes appoint
ed by the Cleveland administration,
sent out by tbe Clark Howell crowd to
injure Smith. That Is enough to die-
guat every Democrat who voted for
Cleveland. It comes with very bad
grace from Mr. Howell now, who failed
to oppose the appointments, in his great
paper at the rime; but seemed then, if
not to approve, at least not to openly,
like a man, oppose tbe appointments.
Howell now blatantly soya he "wmild
die rather than Injure the Democratic
party.” and yet he It little enough to
throw this Insult at every white man
who voted for the only Democratic
president whom we have had since the
war. Thla picture has turned a few
that would have been for Howell
against him.
