This la one km Tbit step cannot fail to have an Important effget on : ialgn—and there at tbe future. Ruaslac deelgne on Persia have been one j leglanre to tbla Id o( the featnrea of the Far Eastern question for a long time, nnd England views them with a jealous eye. What the course of the people will he under the new order of things remains to be seen, but at present It la all novel and strange. pparati It Takes Two to Make a Quarrel. The current Issue of Harvle Jordan's Cotton Journal Is filled with several additional columns of persona) abuse of'thJ editor of The Georgian. We have neither the In* cllnaUon nor tbe purpose to reply. We are going to leave Mr. Jordan and bli underlings tho whole fiobr In this matter with foil freedom to ex ploit themselves to the length of their rope and to the limit of tbelr talents. We have no personal quarrel with Mr. Jordan, and If we Aid we have never believed that a newspaper was tbe avenue In which to exploit It. We bare been en gaged In a great and serloni work with good moUvas to purify tbe Southern Cotton Association by tbe exposure and rebuke of those wbo were engaged In Improper prao- tiers within its offlclal life. We have accomplished this righteous purpose without tnallce and without stooping to bitterness or abuse. The work has been done, the end In view accomplished and tbs effort abundantly 1 vin dicated In the results. Tbe committee of Investigation has found all that we charged to be true, and their con demnation retting with our exposure satisfies tbe only purpose which we set out .to effect. If It he neces sary to revive these matters for the refreshment of the executive committee In September, or for tbe informaUon of the annual meeting In May, we may perhapa rtiel It our doty to do so. Fbr the rest, Mr. Jordan and his underlings may criticise, abuse and storm to tfiulr hearts' content Noth ing they can sqy can Injure this paper or Its editor. We have no wish to Injure them. Mr. Jordan and the editor of this paper both occupy responsible positions In tbe upbuilding of the South—the one as a leader of public sentiment, as an advocate of good cause* and as tbe friend of every righteous movement looking to the glory of the South—tbe other as the chosen bead and repre sentative of a great Industrial and agricultural interest which used* and requires all tbe help and cooperation that an Interested people can give It. Under these circumstances we decline to quarrel per sonally with Mr. Jordan any further In thla matter. Our work Is done; our object Is accomplished, and for the rest we have no personal feelings at stake. It takes two U) make a quarrel, and It Mr. Jordan Is anxious to perpetuate this one, he will have to go be yond The Georgian office to find the second party to hit feud. It la our purpose now, at far as we may be able, to stand by tho Southern Cotton Association, to perfect Its life, to encourage its membership, to exploit Its decisions and to plead for Ita righteous and discreet policies of trade. So long as Mr. HarVIe Jordan remain* Its proa! dent we shall urge the members of the association to give him their hearty support, The Interest of the state and the welfare of this great material Interest transcends any Impulse upon our part to engage even under great provocation In a wordy In- terchange of bitterness and personalities. We have noth' Ins to fear; our conscience Is clean and clear and we nre beyond the reach of any bitterness or of any malice which any enemy can direct toward us. Moreover, we believe that the peoplo of Georgia will Indorse this spirit. For the truth of this assertion, we submit these paragraphs from the columns of The En quirer-Run of July (9th, whose aplrlt and comprehension touches very deeply our conscience and reaches our highest appreciation: "Under severe provocation Editor Graven, wb6*e peu can be ss caustic s* It Is usually Idnd, restrained the Im pulse to reply in hitter words to an onidanght ti|ion him- True, he wqs aided lu this by tho consclouHiiegn of Nit. . Mod motives and of the high esteem In which he Is held, but even these Influences sehlrrn contribute to such an ovldencs of self-control. "Apart entirely from the subject under discussion. It may b* aald that Editor Graves' utterances furnish au ample worthy of emulation. If In public and private lit* the Impulse to Indulge In bitter apeeeh, to say things that ara cruel and hard and which sting, should be re- pressed until soother day, so many of them would be left insald and fewer wounds there would be to leave scars." Another Constitutional Government. A more striking evidence of the growing popularity of representative government could not be found than tho fact that the shah of Persia has Just Issued a decree granting to bla people d national assembly aud a consti tutional form of government. In striking contrast with the insincerity of the exar, who has been liberal of his promises to his people, but niggardly In hit performance*, tho concessions made by the ruler of Persia have been btralghtforward and without delay. The proposed general assembly will consist ot repre sentatives from all classes ot the country except the very peasants, who, apparently, will have to watt for some time longer, but their Interests ought to be safe In the hands of the sympathiser* who are given seats In the delibera tive body. ■' The new assembly will meet In Teheran, and all civil and conatituttona! laws will originate In that general assembly. There has been practically no bloodshed and hardly anything which could be construed as a revolution. This breaking up of the old order of things and growth of the representative Idea of government is a striking illustration of the rapidity with which the world moves and the spread of the rule ot the* people as op posed to the theory of king-craft and autocracy. It Is a shattering of old romance to thlak of Persia a constitutional government. We are naturally In- cllned to associate It wltlr Darius and Cyrut. and Xerxes, and tbe magnificent despotisms which flourished under them until they were swept away by Alexander the Cr.at. In the popular mind It la the enchanted land ot the Arabian Night* and the benevolent rule of good Hurmin at Raschld. We think ot it In connection with Lnllah Rookh, tbe tulipcheeked, and the journey she made with the captivating Prince Feramorx. Indeed, until recent times |t has probably preserved more of the manners and customs of the ancient days than any country In tbe world, and It comes as a distinct shock to tho sentimentalist to think of it as a land with A Transcendent Issue of the Campaign.. It Is difficult In this whirl of ambitious and storm of personalities for an honest snd conscientious eltixen of Georgia to keep bis judgment and hta ballot In bal ance with his civic duty and his personal obligations to the state. And yet. It Is the honsst snd sincere desire of The Georgian to do this very thing. Abstracting ourselves then, from the malignant at mosphere of this unfortunate campaign, one thing ap pears to ns ss clearly a duty on the part of the peo ple of Georgia, to themselves snd to the future welfare of the state. Whatever else Is true or false. It Is unquestionably a fact established In the Judgment of all these Umes that It I* necessary tn every state and.in the republic at large to demonstrate here and now to the railroads and to the great corporations ot the oountry, the shining and es sential fact tbst (be people rule this country and that tbe people must continue to rule It Now there I* neither anarchy nor demagogy In this assertion. Tbe Georgian has been tranquil gild conserve Uve amid tbe Issues of this time. We have sought to ar ray no prejudice; we .have done no Injustice to any cause, or Interest; we hare been neither violent nor abusive, at though we have had abundant provocation to be so. And, we have striven to b* fair, to be Just and to be brood In our attitude toward all Interests and all pubile questions of this time. Tbe necessity to curb and to restrain tbs aggressions of tbe railroads and corporations Is as well recognised at this period ot our history as any public policy In gov ernment has ever been recognised at any period of our national history. U Is not a matter ot local prejudice; It I* not a matter of state conditions; nor Is It yet a spirit that grows out of any especial discrimination, or least of all, out ot any prejudice on tho part of people ot moder ate means toward the corporations ot colossal wealth. Tbe necessity to curb and restrain the railroads without In any possible way doing them any Injustice or any In jury, Is recognised In every section of our country. It lyt* been the battle cry and shibboleth of victory In Michigan, In ttylsconsln, In Missouri, as It Is In Georgia, and It has been an Issue ot such general recognition that It has made the great fight which has enlisted the cour age and the energy ot the brave president of the United States, and has been fought and won iu part In tbe illus trious forum of tbs American senate. So, that there can be no question of demagogy, of bitterness nor of untitnellness In tbe demand which Is being urged that the railroads should be taught thi pre eminence of the people In the affairs of this country, and that they should bo rebuked lu tlielr effort both to dominate legislation and to discriminate at times In their rates of freight and transportation against the commer cial life and the personal comfort of the American people. !nv, and his business Is to place negroes In sections of Sow York city which had hitherto remained nnlnvaded transcendent Issue of this cam- by them. An Instance In point was a large apartment three candidates who profess at-1 house on Ninety-eighth street, which this shrewd real es* Every honest man and every ■ tate man and "friend" of tbe negro race purchased. As loyal citizen of common tense can decide for himself soon as It became noised abroad that this houso was to what it the platform and which It the candidate that bo occupied by negroes, the people In the neighborhood will best execute this duty which he owes to himself, to bis children and to tbe state. Tho Hon Frank Longley, Jr., of Troup. Is the firm friend snd advocate of his friend and fellow citizen, tbe Hon. Frank Harwell, of Troup, for one of the seata In tbe new court of appeals established by the legislature. Colonel l-ongley believes that Colonel Harwell Is capable, popular, welt equipped and crystally honest, and he Is giv ing his cordial support to Troup's candidate for this re sponsible place. Let Us Have the Truth About the Soldiers’ Home. There has been too much smoke coming from tho consideration of the Soldiers' Home to permit the legisla ture or Interested people to halt In tbe Investigation until the presence or absencq of fire Is discovered. For a long time rumors have been coming to Tbe Georgian from this great charity of the (tate—rumors which we have been loath to believe and equally loath to handle. But at tbe preeent time these'chargee have been put In such definite form and shape, and so bravely assumed by members of the state legislature that there can be no honorable exit from this discussion short of a full, fearless and complete Investigation. Mr. Williams, oCLauren*. made a brave speech upon this question on Monday In the house- The definiteness, boldness end evident sincerity of the representative from Laurens deeply Impressed the house, and as reported Impressed the state, and stamp Mr. Williams as a direct and courageous statesman,' not afratd to, assume a re sponsibility and yet ready at all times to sustain his con tentions with the evidence from reliable sources. We are very glad that such a man as Representative Wil liams has taken a personal lead In this matter and we shall watch the results with keen Interest and record them without hesitation. It Georgia has glorified Its own gratitude and Its own loyalty to Immortal memories by this splendid benefi cence to the old heroes of our lost cause. It would be Indeed a poor and grudging charity to deny to these our noble beneficiaries the real bounty ot the state, and It would be a deeper shame It negligence or indifference on the part of tbe state permitted Georgia's bounty to be prostltntcd by mismanagement or to be Insulted by cruelty and unklndnest lu Its administration. Once moro we assert that the matter has gone too far now not to be carried to Ita full and definite conclu sion, and we trust that without any other consideration than the vindication of the spirit and tbe motive which moved thla splendid charity, the legislative committee will hew to the line and 1st tbe chips fall where they will. No Social Equality for Them.. The evidences sre accumulating every day that the pretended sympathy for tbe negro In the North It the hollowest of empty shtmt, snd that he Is not accepted on anything like equality by the people of that section The very universality of this spirit add Its recognl- | any more than he Is In the Sonth. . At least one man realises this and apparently he Is profiting by IL He It going at the matter In the most coldblooded and systematic manner, and It Is said that he has cleared up something like 110,noo on a recent deal. He la the head of the Afro-American Realty Compn- tion.ls the best and most Incontrovertible argument to the voters of Georgia that when this question Is brought face to face with our ballots and with our brains. It be comes our high and unmistakable clVlc duty to register at tbe polls such a veriHct ai will best establish the su premacy of the people and tbe subordination ot the cor porations. It does not matter to The Georgian nnder what can- dldate this may be done or In what shape the lesson may be taught. But it doea matter to The Georgian as a citi- sen and a public voice that this great lesson should be taUgbt now while It Is possible to teach It welf—-while the people have yet la their hands the power, tbe co herency. and the co-operattve courage to administer the lesson. Neither Tho Georgian nor the people nor those wbo represent the people, desire along any lines nor In any letter ot legislation, to be unjuat toward the railroad* and tho corporations, to restrain their liberty, or to crip ple tlielr prosperity. Recognising In full the splendid In flueiice ot these Institutions In the development of the country, we give them our high regard and pledge them our fair and generous consideration In every act of legis lation upon which we may be allowed to speak. But we do kuow and we do declare that the spirit ot selfish eg' greaslon, the spirit of indifference, and the spirit ot monop oly which have expresaed the policy of the railroad* and the corporation* for the last ten or twenty years absolute ly demands that when the Issue between the people and selfish plutocracy la Joined, that the people must win or that tbe people will sink Into deeper slavery aud become completely subservient to tbe corporate will. Georgia simply cannot afford to do leaa In this elec tion than to win with Its ballots the fight ot the people for the rights of the people against the selfishness ot these vast combinations of |>owcr. To win now Is to e» tobllsh Justice nnd popular liberty. To lose,now la to endanger both for ourselves and for our children. It the people should win gm. a real repreaentatlve of the people abould be seated In the chair of state. The Georgian pledget Itself with all Its might and main to protest and to dispute every effort on tbe part of that or any other public servant to be unjust or unfair toward these great Institutions which are entitled to the care and tho protection of the atate. But The Georgian knows now and here, and every honest man In Georgia who thinks snd swj, will In dorse the statement, that with the Issue joined ns It has been joined and Is joined today, the people should win nnd simply must win this fight for the safety and the protection of the people and of the railroads as well. In the years to come. And to, we aptieat frankly and sincerely, with abso lute Indifference to any single personality In this cam paign or to any tingle candidate In Ibis race—we appeal earnestly and fervently to Hie common sente and the pa triotism ot Georgia to rise In the might of that ballot wbleh Is the expression of a free man's conscience, and to write In the result of ttfte primaries the sovereignty of Ihe people and the subordination ot special Interests to tbe general good. We appeal to every cltlxen to put behind him tbe special pleas ot candidates and the dashing fallacies of ambitions and to aet hit dvlc eyes dearly and reso lutely upon tho central proposition that Ihe people sre fighting In Georgia as they have fonght tn other atate* and as they are fighting now In Washington to establish beyond all doubt or question that tbe principle of the greatest good of tho greatest number must be recognised, both by the government and the Institution! which flour ish under it. that the railroads must be just In their a legislature and a constitution and un electoral system. But the leaven of republicanism has been at work I rales, fair in their tnffle, and must not seek through there as elsewhere. Tbe people have been struggling personal lobbies and political 'agencies to dominate the became greatly alarmed. No love and fraternity with the negro race for them. They had lived thus far without being disturbed by nezroes In the neighborhood, and they were not going to stand for a change If It could be prevented. There was do way to enjoin the new tenants, for the properly had been bought and paid for. There was noth ing to do but to buy the property, so after a hurried con sultation on the part of the property owners and old- time tenants, tbe deal was made and tbe head of the Afro- American Realty Company was richer by something like 110.000. It was a novel Idea. It worked well. He knew very well that he could bank on the distaste of tbe average New Yorker for negroes as neighbors nnd he played tho game on that theory. He knew that the only way for them to prevent this unsavory proximity was for them to buy him out, and they did so. It was rather an effective object lesson In the real sentiments of the people of New York when they are willing to cough up (10,000 to keep tho color lino clearly and distinctly drawn and It silences a great deal of the hypocritical flubdub Indulged In by negro sympathizers nt the NoTth. The Tendency Toward Tariff Revision. The efforts of the administration to hold tbe Repub lican party to u "stand pat" policy on the question of tbe tariff are becoming more and more hopeless every day. While It Is true that the platform adopted by the Re publican* of Iowa was not very radically In favor of tariff revision. It Is pointed out that Governor Cummins' per sonality and bis Individual opinions, coupled with bis triumphant renomtnatlon, are more significant than any platform, and that he Is an earnest tariff reformer Is un- dlsputed^ The Springfield Republican recalls his vigorous as sertion last fall that "all the graft ot all the Insurance companlei from the beginning cannot equal one-fifth the amount of «£ICh the people are robbed every year by excessive tariffs." So staunch a Republican paper as The New York Tribune Indorses the demand of the Republicans ot the middle west tor tariff revision, and finally Tbe Outlook, for tho present week, summarizing the opinions ot the press and people, expresses the conviction that “It ts In creasingly evident that those who believe in a protective system will tefore long have to chpose between a system gradually modified In the direction of a freer trade by the Republican party, and a system of tariff for revenue only brought'in by the political victory ot the. Democratic Party." This ts an Impartial authority, and makes it certain that the country la drifting gradually but Inevitably to ward tariff revision and toward the time-honored prlncl-- pies of the Democratic party. Among the candidates for a place on tbe new rail road commission to be elected by the people; Is Colonel J. E. Mercer, of The Fitzgerald Enterprise, and while The Georgian Is not In the habit ot committing Itself In advance to any one candidate tor this responsible and Important post, we do not hesitate to lay that our esteem ed contemporary Is one ot the llvest, bravest and most honest public men In Georgia and would grace any posi tion ot trust or responsibility to which be might be called.

Greater Demand For Cotton Seed Oil Ths recent session of the Cotton seed crushers In Atlanta, which »'U one of the inoet notable conventions held In thle city during the preeent summer, lends timely Interest to the following article from The New York Commercial. The newspaper In question snye that If a suggestion put forth by a Southerner Is acted upon by the cotton oil Interests of the country, there Is likely to be soon a greatly Increased demand for cotton oil, which would be certain to have a far.reachlnv Influence on cotton oil prices for home and export shipment. The suggestion just put forward I* that the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' Association should Inaugurate a movement for the sale of cottonseed to the general public In line with the methods In use by the Standard Oil Company, In the sale of Its Il luminating end lubricating oils.. It Is proposed. In other words, that cot ton oil tanks, on wheels should be sent throughout the country with a view to selling cotton oil from door to door, not etmply at a substitute for lard, but on Its own merits as a culinary gresse. "It hat been demonstrated,” e*ys the advocate of this Idea, "that re fined cotton oil not only meets all requirements In thle respect, but Is actually superior to lard In thle connection. The people should be made acquainted With cottop oil. A cotton all tank wagon, with liquid measur ing facilities, could dispose of the oil at the rate of IK cents per quart. Take (he negro portion ot the population of the South. They use great t quantities of lard, all the time. The Idea I* to visit every habitation, without regard to color or nationality. In this way, just ae toon as the people realise the value of refined cotton nil, a home market could be ob tained for innat, if not all, of the cotton oil manufactured in the a South and Southwest, and at paying prices, regardless of expert needs. "It might be well to assume some sort of preliminary step In the way of advertising prior to actually taking the field In the manner sug gested. Printed circulars, newspaper advertising, snd possibly * series o( lecture* at food exhibition*, a* well se In great cities, carried on syste matically might expedite matters. If we are to piece cotton oil where It rightly belongs, something on the lines euggeeted must be done. Individ ual effort la vain. "The hope of success In such a movement la strong when undertaken by s powerful organisation such as the Interstate Cottonseed Crushers' As sociation. An Individual crusher or refiner would hardly make a break tn thle direction on hie own responsibility. Concerted action In the matter of educating Ihe people of the United Statee to the value of cotton oil ss an edible product le Imperative. It gives fair qromlee of euceess. The needs of the trade demand II, and I trust that ways snd mesne will be un earthed lo put the suggestion Into effect." LANDING TOE FISII. Jack Spotte was s nice fellow, and he had barrel* of money; at lesat his father had. Tom King wan a nice fel low, too, and he had barrele of money, or hi* father hnd. Ethel thought n lot of each of them, and *he nu a* nice as she could be to both, but somehow or other neither Jeck nor Tom would come to the point where one dlecuaaea the residential merits of Jersey or Long Island. The summer was slipping by without the sign of a proposal, and Ethel began to grow unhappy. So one evening she wrote two letters—abort letters, but full of meaning. One ran: “Dear Tom—I promised to give you my reply tonight. I am sorry to hurt you—but, Tom, I love another. I may ns well tell you It's that adorable, ath letic boy you've seen me with several time*. Jack Spotte. I shall always en deavor to be a true sister to you. "ETHEL." Then Ethel wrote another letter, worded just the same, except that it began "Dear Jack," and referred to Tom King as the Adorable athlete. Then she took the letters out to the postnftlce, carelessly getting Tom's let ter Into the envelope addressed to Jack and Jack's letter, of course. Into Tom King's envelope. Next morning Jack Spotte opened hi* mall. "That chick King proposed to Eth el!" he cried. "And she loves me! There may be time." Tom King opened his letter: "That scrub or a twn-8potte!" he cried. “Proposed to Ethel, indeed! And she loves me! There may be time." Ethel had Just accepted the panting Jack Spotte when Tom King buret breathlessly Into the room. Too late," she murmured sweetly, “And to think, dear," said Jack, af ter Tom had gone “to the devil," ns be had bitterly announced his desti nation.
