THE GEORGIAN COMES TO
GEORGIA AS THE SUNSHINE
“Porteus, there Is a proverb thou shouldst read:
‘When flatterers meet, the Devil goes to dinner.’"
—Peter Pindar.
A Fair, Brave Editor.
Henry M. McIntosh, of The Albany Herald, Is said
to have presided fairly and Impartially over tho Albany
debate.
Of coarse be did. Who that knows him would have
expected him to do otherwise?
The brave old Scotchman who edits The Albany
Herald Is always on one aide or the other. He is a
frank,' brave partisan, bat he is above all things an hon
est man and a square one, and If be bad been twice as
eager In his partisanship of Clark Howell, he would still
havo been an eminently fitting man to do Impartial Jus
tice between Clark Howell and Hoke Smith.
There are men built after the pattern of Editor Mc
Intosh. whom the world does not understand. The world
Is made up of so many partisans, rank and violent, that
they And It difficult to understand a man who can carry
fairness along with hit preference*. The partisan*
would* have been delighted to have had Henry McIn
tosh follow bla own predilections and rule In favor of bis
candidate. There ere those who will criticise him for
being fair and attribute It to weakness and protest the
Integrity of his convictions, but men tike Henry McIn
tosh can always laugh to scorn the Idle complaints and
stings of those who aro themselves too mad with parti
sanship to recognize the truth or the merits of the other
aide,
Tho time wilt come when McIntosh and men like
him who demand the right to be fair and Just In their
discriminations wilt be vindicated In the Judgment and
admiration of their fellow men when noisy and unrea
sonably partisans with their hasty and heated derisions
havo passed from the memory of men.
Of course Henry McIntosh Is fair. He wa* not only
fair on the stage, but be waa fair In the columns of his
paper- He recognised the obligation upon him- as an
editor as fully aa be did hts obligation aa a presiding
officer. As a presiding officer. It was hi* duty tq be
passlonlesa and Judicially fair between both eldea who
had agreed upon him as the ruling officer of the day,
and he rose to the measure of this expectation.
Aa an editor conducting a great organ of public
opinion, pledged by hi* official position to tell the truth
to the people of both sides who patronise it, he did not
hostitato to give credit where credit was due, and real
ized that tho obligation of the editor, which waa his chief
vocation, transcended the obligation of tbo partisan,
which is his merely temporary assignment
We rejotco In the spirit (Ad In the example of a
man like Henry McIntosh. In him and In his type alone
Is tho commonwealth rich In that character and In that
justice which will establish the sound and durable
thlngs > of the fatnre.
And The Georgian congratulates Itself upon the fact
that many of the statements made by Henry McIntosh
In hta Albany Herald coincide exactly Vs to fact and
conclusion with those which were recently written In
the columns of this paper.
The pacific cltlsen* of "little ojd New York” tried
to lynch a negro In Herald square the other day. This
"southern outrage" business simply refuses to atay at
home.
Bernhardt’s Hawkeye Parentage
The “seven rival towns" through which good old
Homer begged hts bread at least waited until he was
dead and gone before they began to put In their claims
for the honor of being hie birthplace.
But that was merely Homer.
No such fate is to await the Divine 8arah, who was
eo recently in our midst. She has gone back to Paris,
with her—er—wherever she keepa It—full of money, and
she la not worrying very much aa to her antecedents or
where she was horn. Of course it has' been generally un
derstood for a long time that she wag horn In Paris In
1844, of Jewish parents, baptised In the Christian faith,
educated In a convent and made her debut at the Theater
Francats at the age of 18.
But all that was merely our Imperfect Information.
Mrs. Lucy King, who lives, moves and baa as much
of being a* one can expect out In Minneapolis, contends
that Sarah la her alater and waa born tn the little town
of Rochester, Iowa. Furthermore, abe gives It out that
Sarah ran away In order to join a company playing that
immortal drama. "Uncle Tom’s Cabin," tn which she
represented “Little Eva.”
There are few actresses on the American stage, at
least among those who confess to-forty seasons or more,
who did not begin their stage career by playing “Little
Eva.” In the early days tt was part of the tutelage of
the stage to play “Little Eva.” No actress could ever
hope to attain success unless at some period In ber ca
reer abe bad playpd “Little Eva.”. It was almost rs es
sential aa having a past or a full set of diamonds
But we had thought that the Divine Sarah would be
allowed to “just grow” without havlog to go through the
Little Eva process. We had Indulged the delusion that
abe poaaeeaed ao much that waa extraordinary that she
would be allowed to come In aa an exception.
Bnt Slater Lucy, of Minneapolis and Rochester, Iowa,
has Intervened and In the Interest.of the truth of history
haa given It out that Sarah was Just like all the rest
Sho ran away to play “Little Eva,” and then she went
further and married a man named Bernhardt—“eo that's
the way,” says Mrs. King, conclusively, “that she came
to be called Bernhardt"
There are circumstantial stories of how Bernhardt
made a clandestine visit to the little lows town of her
birth and brought away some souvenirs from her parents'
graves, when she waa over here last, and how she
drove by Mrs. King’s house—just bow tbe daughter of Mr-
Mr. Charlton’s Address on Oglethorpe.
The members of tbe general assembly and tbe people
of Atlanta have a treat In store for them this evening
when Hon. W. O- Chariton, of Savannah, will deliver
address In the hall of the house on the subject of Jamea
Edward Oglethorpe, founder of tbe colony of Georgia.
Mr. Charlton la one of th* most gifted and eloquent
member* of the Savnnnah bar. Hn la essentially a schol
ar. . He haa taken all knowledge for his province and
the exquisite culture which characterizes him flnds
happy expression In his polished and persuaslvd oratory.
In bis native city he ranks among the most charming
and effective orators, and Is called upon on public occa
sions of every, kind.
Hff haa been a tower of strength In supporting tbe
movement to erect some suitable memorial to General
Oglethorpe. Under the auspices of the Daughters of tho
Revolution a persistent effort has boon made to erect
such a monument to the memory of the founder of the
Georgia colony. The sum of $10,000 has already been
raised, but $15,000 more la necessary to carry out tbe
design now proposed and this sum the assembly la asked
to appropriate.
The man and tho occasion meet when Mr. Charlton
appear* before such an audlenco as that which will as
semble this evening to discuss tbe life and times of Ogle
thorpe. The founder of Georgia was one of the most re
markable men of bis time. Tho ninety years of his
life were epent amidst scenes which It falls to the lot
of but few men to wltneai—all of which be saw and
great part of which he was. In letters he was the lntl
mate associate of Dr. Johnson. In war he was th* com
panion of Prince Bngene- And when the death of
friend In debtors' prison first turned his attention to the
Injustice and abuse of that Infamous syitcm, ho devoted
himself to the amelioration of their condition with the
aeal and determination which marked everything he did.
From the day when he landed in Georgia,-In 1733, with
a handful of colonists, until he resigned his position to
return home and straighten out hla personal affairs,
which had become Involved largely through loans be had
made In behalf of the colony, he was Wio xealous and
devoted friend of Georgia, her guardian and friend in
peace and war.
Aa a soldier, a philanthropist and an administrator
he had no superior If Indeed he had an equal among
the colonisers of the thirteen original states.
And yet.we are strangely deficient In any suitable
memorial to hla name and fame. Tbl* -prolonged neglect
has become our shame and reproach and It Is high time
that something were dope to make amends for this long
oversight.
The devoted women who have the matter In charge
have not spared themselves In railing the funds collected
thus far, but now the time baa arrived when the state,
through the general assembly, should do Its part, and It
Is to Impress this fact upon the members and upon the
cltlxena In general that Mr. Charlton will speak thla eve
ning.
It will be an Intellectual treat to hear him and we
feel sure that be will have the large audience he so eml
nently deserves.
Mr. Rockefeller may, decide to reduce hla own sen
tence to transportation. .
An Atlanta Magazine.
For reasons both personal and general. The Georgian
finds much pleasure In the evidences of substantial
growth and prosperity on the part of The Altruist Maga-
line. t
The Altruist la a quiet magatlne of philanthropy and
sociological endeavor established a little over two year*
ago, with Mr. W. Woods White as editor-tn-chlef and Mr.
J. D. Cleaton as managing editor.
Without pretense and without garish exploitation
thla little periodical haa won Its way steadily and slowly
by the merit of Its motives, the consistency of It* meth
ods, and tbe loftiness of its principles of life and advo
cacy. At this time The Altruist has reached a self-sus
taining basis, and the very truthful gentlemen who con
trol It make the statement that It la growing steadily at
the rate of two hundred subscribers a month.
This Is not a sensational growth, but.it la a steady
evidence of Increasing support and confidence, and of
tbe steady development of the noble aod altruistic sen
timent which the raagaxlne pleads In Jta monthly tsauos.
There la no end of Individuality In this periodical
and no man ever reads it without an uplift to hts
philanthropy, hla religion and hla patriotism.
Because wo know that the state and our present
day society cannot fall to be benefited and bettered by
the continued life and Increasing prosperity of this high
toned periodical. The Georgian unhesitatingly wishes It
an ever-Increasing list of subscriber* and a life contin
ued beyond the generation In which we live.

He la welcome to tho city which haa received ao rich

state which he represents. He Is welcome a* the evangel
of a great enterprise which la designed to revive th*
ancient memories of our republic and the modern glo

tell my wife what other people say, and
if they use profanity I repeat the words
to my wife.”
