Give Us the Juvenile Courts. The adoption by the lower hottae of the general as sembly of the Child Labor bill lends additional Interest and Importance to the pending measure establishing Ju venllo courts and probation offleera throughout the state. This bill, which was drawn up by Mr. James L. An demon of this city, has been prepared after carefully studying probation work throughout the country, and embodies all the best features that experts could sug gest. Under the provision of this hill, children under 16 yearn of ago are not In any way or under any circuit stances to be herded with adult criminals, snd every safeguard Is to be thrown around them to protect them from contaminating Influences of every kind. Where dependent or delinquent children are found steps will be taken to bring them before the court of ordinary, which, by the provisions of this bill, becomes a Juvenile court, trad they aro to be placed In charge of probation officera, duly appointed for the respective coun ties. Those juvenile courts wilt Jisvo largo discretionary powers and will act upon Jhe ancient maxim of law that the state stands In the place of tho parent where such lMtronts are either dead or not qualified to exercise prop er parental care. One notable foature of this measure Is a provision that parents, guardians or any others who by neglect or encouragement are responsible for the delinquencies of children, shall be severely punished. Boys and girls of tender years are to bo rescued by the orderly process of the law from vicious environments and placed In suit able institutions of protection and education, and those who should hare been responsible for their proper educa tion are to be punished as for a misdemeanor. This Is no new and untried experiment. The juve nile court Idea Is spreading rapidly over the ontlre coun try and now exists In forty cities scattered throughout twenty-two states. It Is maintained In Canada, In Eng land and In Australia, aud wherever the idea has been carHcd out. It has been found to work satisfactorily. It Is shown that the Juvenile court methods are saner, more scientific, more humane and more Christian than the Inexorable and undlscrlmlnatlng system of the law as It now exists. Such great cities as New York, Chicago, Baltimore and Denver haye operated these courts for such length of time that they have passed far beyond the experimental stage. Judgo Ben B. Lindsey, of Denver, who Is one of the leading spirits In the general movement, declares that the Juvenile court methods have already saved the state of Colorado 1500,000. He testifies that this plan rescues from a career of crime 06 per cent of the children with whom It dealt. It Is only Just that a share of the responsibility for Juvenile delinquents should be thrown upon the negli gent parent or guardian, and It is this feature of the present bill which particularly commends It Tho prlndplo of suspended sentence, that Is, a sen tence of court not carried oat except under a second de linquency, Is a strong Incentive to children without par ent or guardian to behave better In the future. It is sn anomaly, and Indeed a miserable shame, that children ot tender years should be contaminated with the presence of hardened criminals, where, Instead of amending their lives, they really become apt pupils In the more expert knowledge of crime. Under the provisions ot this bill there will be no such contact or contamination, from the lint peccadillo ot the wayward child until he Is Anal ly reformed or else, showing signs of hopeless doprsvity, is turned over to the sterner hands of the law, but he will be segregated from the professional criminal whoso influence necessarily would bo tojxmflrm whatever ten dencies toward wrong doing might be latent In his na ture. This measure carries forward the work ot reform in behalf of the children of Ocorgta which the Child La bor hill has begun, and we fool sure that It will commend itself to the approval of the good people ot the state. The news comes thst Mr. Rockefeller Is practicing with the bow and arrow. That was about all he needed for the part ot Robin Hood. The Railroad Changes. The announcement that Mr. Brooks Morgan haa re signed his position as assistant general passenger agent, with offices In Atlanta, and that his resignation will pos sibly entail the transfer-of. Mr. J. C. Beam to St. Louis: will carry general regret to the people of Atlanta and to this section of the state. Mr. Morgan and Mr. Beam have been located in Atlanta for ao many years thst they were looked upon as fixtures In the local railroad world and It will be difficult to realise that their familiar faces are to disappear from the old haunts. It Is definitely announced that Mr. Morgan will re sign. but will remain la Atlanta as a member of one of the largest manufacturing concerns In the state. White bis friends In railroad circles will greatly miss him. It Is a source of much satisfaction that he Is to remain here, snd he will receive s hearty welcome In the new Une ot work he has undertaken. That he will make a success ot his venture goes without saying, for the same qualities of mind and heart which have carried him for ward In the railroad world will stand him In excellent stead In whatever he may undertake. It would be a matter of the deepest regret If Atlanta should lose Mr. Beam. He Is one of the most efficient snd popular members of the cinder colony snd numbers his devoted friends by the hundreds. While bis trans fer would be In the nature of s deserved promotion, the general regret would be none the less keen, aud the community would look forward to his return with undi minished pleasure Local Meat Investigation. The action of council In appointing a special com mittee to look Into the matter of meat Inspection In the city, and to Investigate the slaughter bouses which fur nish this commodity for consumption to the people of Atlanta, will meet with the general Indorsement ot the people. This Is a matter of vital Importance to the citizens of Atlanta. That there bsve been at least s few In stances of flagrant violations of sanitary taws has been made evident hy data furnished by The Oeorgian, and It may well be assumed that if this has been true la a few special Instances there have been other cases which have not come to light The whole country has been aroused by the recent packing hoose disclosures,and even after all the fuss and feathers la over It still remains certain that thfere wasee condition which called for the most proppt and drastic reforms. The agitation set on foot by the Chicago disclosures extended to the smaller plants scat tered throughout the.country and It was discovered that so far from Chicago being the sole offender there were other Instances differing only In degree from them. All this has set the Intelligent portion of the country to thinking. There Is no occasion to become hysterical over the matter, but revelations right here!. In and around Atlanta go to show that this Investigation timely and necessary. If It should develop that diseased cattle are butchered and sold to the people of this city, prompt and efficient steps should be taken to end It be fore the conditions become any worse. We cannot claim to be experts on the subject, of course, but If It should develop that It is necessary to organise a central abattoir In the city, where the work of preparing meat for market can be kept under direct supervision by the city authorities and alt cattle can be Inspected before they are killed, by all means let this be done. The members of council can depend upon It that the people In general will stand squarely behind them In any steps they may take Ao Insure pure and whole some meats and all other commodities, and the present official Investigation comes In response to a definite and emphatic public sentiment. It matters not who may be affected by the Inves tigation. The life and health of the community Is of paramount Importance. The present Investigation should therefore be of the most far-reaching and search ing character. It Is one of the most vital questions of the hour. Governor Terrell’s “Mistake.” “You meet In the midst ot continued and In creasing prosperity," said Governor Terrell In his message to the legislature ot Georgia. “Material blessings have abounded during the past year. Im mense crops spd good prices have rowarded the tiller of the soil. Opportunities for labor and good wages have rejoiced the heart ot the workingmen. Fewer mortgages have been given and more money hss been deposited by the farmer In the banks than this generation has ever before known, and on every hand appear evidences that the people are happy and contented.” Strange that the governor of the Empire State of the South should have failed to learn from Demo- cta u ° journals In the North that tho country Is go ing straight to the dogs, that prosperity Is only In seeming and not In reality and that the only way of escape Is by sending-our money abroad to buy things on a cheaper basis than American workmen produce them. True, that means the stoppage of- work and wages for hundreds of thousands, but a little thing like that never touches tho argument of the free trader. According to Democratic notions there was nev er so huge a case of self-doceptlon as the United States presents today. Tho entire country reports such a tide of prosperity as the world has not known from the day ot the first Adam In Eden to the last Adnm In Buffalo. Buying and selling and getting gain go on Into figures of Value counting up Into scores of billions and the banks are bursting with the accumulations of Industry. But It Is all a hollow mockery to those who harp day by day on the rise In prices as an absorbent of all galne, and who Insist that the only real Increase la In paper credits liable any day to go the good old Democratic way of de struction. , Call on aomo of your Democratic friends In news paper offices In tho North, Governor Terrell, and let thorn hereafter write ypur messages to save you from the absurd mistake of supposing thst we are a happy and contented people enjoying a prosperity thst makes a new high record In world history.— Buffalo News. No Democratic newspaper, either North or South, believe* that the country 1* "going to (he dogs." On the contrary, we are willing to concede that we are enjoying a period of unprecedented prosperity. But the difficulty Is that the trusts and combines, created and nurtured by Republican protection, are get ting the llon'a share ot this prosperity. When commod ities are shipped'abroad and sold at a smaller price than they are sold In the open markets of this country, and Infant" Industries, which have arrived at a lustlhood so great that they lay hold upon Jhe very machinery of the government, are still coddled and pap-fed by a parental government, It Is high time for the Democrats to rise In protest, both North and South Sir Alfred Harmsworth recently made the droll re mark that England was "too stupid" to organise trusts and combines. She Is content to run along with a sys tem of free trade which makes such combine* practically Impossible. She even repudiates any such entering wedge as Mr. Chamberlain's preferential tariff for the beneflt of the British colonies. Poor "stupid" old England) There were giants In the days when the present eco nomic policy of Great Britain was framed, and the Eng lishman ot today knows It full well. He Is content to let well enough alone. But aside from all this, the Democratic newspapers. North and 8outh, have been-protesting, not that the country was going to the bow-wows, but that fraud and corruption stalked In high places under the protection of the vast combinations of capital which a high tariff has made possible. It was against this fraud and cor ruptlon that the Democrats have been protesting, and If It will do The Buffalo News any good to know It, the Democrats will continue to protest and to sgttate Until the work ot reform has gone all along the line. We are grateful for the tardy legislation which hss been enseted by the first session of the Fifty-ninth con gress. We are grateful for the prosecutions which have driven the trust* to cover. This latter could have been done under laws which have Misted ever since the 8herman anti-trust set. If the Republican party had seriously desired to do so. It wss only an aroused public sentiment, brought about by Democratic teachings snd Democratic agitations. In platforms and on the stump, which hss brought us thus far out ot the wilderness, snd notwithstanding the fact thst the G. O. P.

DesMoInes, Iowa. July 18.—The mar riage of Min* Grace Howe McKinley, niece of the Into President William Mc Kinley, to Captain Grayson Vlllsrd Heidt. of the Eleventh cavalry, will be solemnised at Fort DesMolnes this evening. The marriage will be the culmination <of a romance, which tells the story of a young girl's renunciation of a social career as practical mistress of the white house. In order that she might become a school teacher. While a student at Mount Holyoke College, Miss McKinley visited the white house. Her uncle, President McKinley, urged her to remain and share the social responsi bilities of the family. . Miss McKinley remained one year, after which her ambition to prepare for a teacher's life took her back to school, where she graduated. During her year at Washington Mies McKin ley met Captain Heidt. When Mies McKinley's brother, Captain James Mc Kinley, was ordered to the Philippines, she Insisted upon going and there en ter the ranks of the Island teachers. Meanwhile Captain Heidt had also been transferred to the Philippines. Beneath tbe tropical trees of the Philippine Islands the young people met again and the troth was plighted to be solemnised later on back In their native land. Captain Heidt Is a graduate of West Point, class of 1880. The wedding tonight will be a bril liant affair. The ceremony will be per formed by the Rev. Dr. Johir Heidt, the groom's father, of Atlanta, Go. SOUTH’S GROWTH AND PROGRESS TT CONDITIONS IN SOUTHERN COTTON MILLS From Tho Bouton Herald.

T* are Important In an economical tense, account of their bearing on the relative cost of manufacturing cotton doth at the North and the South, and In a humanitarian souse, especially on account of the em ployment of child labor. After corefully resiling the whole report of Mlu Reeks, the Impression made Is that her purpose Is to be truthful and fair, and that she has b«*en st mueh pains to nscortsln the pre cise conditions. prevailing In tbe Southern cotton factories. Her report does not con firm tbe extreme stories that have been used as general facts In tbe heated dis cussions thst havo been had before legis lative committees snd other bodies consid ering the matters.

Hammond delivered the annual address as president ot the Bar Association. Ills subject was: "la There a Growing Dijposition or Ten dency to Disregard or Evade the Law 7” in taking up the thread ot hi* die- course, Mr. Hammond dealt with the moral law and the written taw. He gave considerable attention to the monopolistic tendencies of the tlmi and the necessities In many casea i violation of the law to further the In tereat of the trusts; he dealt with the extension of 'graft,'' the recent coin ing'of which word, be said, was slg- nitlcant; he referred to tlie secret con tributing of money by corporation* Into the coffer* of political campaign com mltteei: he called' attention to the ex t*tenco In many state* of gambling houses, pool rooms and other unlawful trades, allowed because of the pay ment of protection money: he brought out strongly Um uaa of fore* by Indl vlduals or combination* from labor or ganlzatlons to compel other workmen to strike, anil tlirratn of boycott made by such organizations; he also took up the matter of lynch law. Undine ■ I as cure for It, nnd declaring there wa such thing a* delay of Jhe law. this part of hi* address lie spoke at length on tbe relation of tbe press to lynchlngs, deploring the complaisant alleged attitude of many newspapers In not vigorously opposing, editorially and In news columns, violation of the law by mobs. One of the reasons for this, he attributed to be due to sensational lam. In conclusion, Mr. Hammond took up a theme that bears pertinently on the present political campaign In the state. He speke concerning the attitude of many In this state toward the tour teenth and fifteenth amendments to the Federal constitution. He said: A« to th* Constitution. Recently 1 read In one of the dally newspaper* what purported to be an Interview with a member of congress from Georgia. Because something In the article loema to furnish a forceful Illustration of the subject under con slderatlon. I cannot refrain from re ferring to It "He Is quoted as saying: ‘Is It not known that Alexander 11. Stephens. In many respect* the South’s bravest and wisest statesman, did not hesitate to tell the Joint committee on reconstruc tion that In his Judgment these Iniqui tous amendments, th* fourteenth and fifteenth, were not binding on the hon or and conscience of the states of th* South, because they had been literally pinned to the constitution by Federal bayonets? Is It not known that Rob ert Toombs, the master mind of that convention (speaking of th* Georgia constitutional convention of 1877), cursed these amendments conslstently and persistently up to his dying day, and almost with his dying breath? 1 “It Is unnecessary to take Issue with any one who say* that the great Toombs took so violent' a position against the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments of tHe constitution of the United States. Whether he or Mr. Stephens said or felt, as has been charged, I do not know. That ques tion I am not considering. I do know that Mr. Toombs was the chairman ot th* committee on final revision of the Georgia constitutional convention of 1877. and that he reported, and finally voted, for the adoption of that consti tution, and . that that constitution In article 12, section 1, paragraph 1, de clares: ■"The laws of general operation In this state are, first, aa the supreme law, the constitution of the United States, the taws of the United States In pursuance thereof, and all the treat ies made under authority of ttta United State*.’ Stephens 1 Viewpoint. "That constitution, then and now, In. eluded th* fourteenth and fifteenth amendments. With him. It mattered not how much he may have questioned the wisdom and Justice of these amend menta. he declared them part and par cel of- th* supreme law of the land; and, If It be true that to his dying day ha ■ cursed these two amendments, 1 dare assert, and not wlthctat Investiga tion, that never In hie life did he, In speech or print, call upon or encourage the people of hie state to disregard any part of that constitution, as he understood It, nor admit thst any con dition or excuse was sufficient Justifi cation for th* people of his state to disregard, svada, or dodge It Least and last of all. would he nave thought that a member of congress would ever utter words of such encouragement ro the people of his state, and Justify himself by alluding to his name. It may be that Mr. Stephens, before the reconstruction committee, used the language quoted. If he did, having read every wrord ot hie published evi dence before that committee. I have been unable to find IL Had I desired to place a jewel In the crown of that great and wonderful man. It seems to me a brighter and more precious gem could have been selected, and father than recall to tlie minda of the people ot ht* state and country hta alleged words of disparagement of the supreme law of the land, I would have revived In their memories these patriotic words of hta: it alt of our people are blasted; If th* republic ta to go down, let ua be found to the last moment standing on th* deck with the constitution of the United States waving ovar our head*.’ Law* Should Prevail, “There are, no doubt, many laws un satisfactory* to many ot us; there are no doubt restrictions In the constitu tion of this state, and ot the United States, that many of ua would like to' change, but ao long aa those laws stand, they are the taws of this state, and they are the law of the land.
