Arthur Powell and Benja' min Hill, of the new court of appeals, The Georgian extends its felicitations upon the generous race and the gallant victory of the state election. The sections of the state are well represented In the register of the new Judges, one from the northeast, one from the capital city, and one from the wlregrasi region of the state. The bench Is distinctly strengthened by the character, experience and ability of the three Georgians who have been called to Judicial honors and responsibilities, and we trust that this vigorous addition to the machinery of the law may expedite the trial and decision of causes In a most marked and effective way. • The general sentiment teems to pame Judge Richard Russell aa the presiding Justice not only because of the remarkable majority by which he led the race, but by reason of hla nlno years' experience upon the bench of the superior court. This Is mere rumor, of course, at though the foundation teems to be substantial. But whatever the organization of the court It Is a matter of congratulation to the state that three young, vlgoroua and capable Juriata have been added to the equipment of our greatly overtaxed and overworked Judiciary. , * And so while we congratulate the new judges, we fe licitate with equal heartiness the state which Is to have the benefit of their brains and attainment The “Demagogy” of Hearst. dolph Hearst with demagogy, consider his recent atti tude toward McCarren. McCarren is the absolute boss of Brooklyn. He Is supposed to "hold the city In the hollow of his hand from the Democratic standpoint, which Is tW dominant standpoint of Its politics. After Mr. Hearst's nomination at Buffalo, McCar- ren made Immediate overtures for a working basis be tween them. Hearst refused to accept a tingle proposi tion which McCarren made. McCarren stated definitely that the refusal to accept his plan would cost the Hearst ticket 76,000 vote* In Brooklyn. Hearst's Immediate answer was to Ignore McCarren and to put In his Independent league for a majority of the elective offices of the Brooklyn bor ough. It was a distinct defiance of McCarren in the lines of his principles and the lines of his loyalty; and the question of 76,000 votes did not weigh against the greater question of-Hearst’s principles and his plant for their exe cution. What demagogue of your acquaintance would have been willing to snap hla Angers In the face of 76,000 votes to protect a principle or to carry out a plan which he had made for an honest government? This country Is going to know William Randolph Hearst better than It has ever done before. And when McCarren and his gangs are forgotten the next governor of New Tork will be remembered as one of •the cleanest and most effective reformers of modern Justice KingsbCry Talks. “I am heartily In favor of having the car tracks on Peachtree street, beyond Baker street, removed," said Justice Klngsbcry Saturday morning. "The re moval of all tracks on that portion of Peachtree street would materially enhance the value of prop erty there, nnd would dovelop It Into one of the three most beautiful thoroughfares In the United States." "I have lived on Peachtree street for the past 25 years, and long ago I discovered that having a street car track passing directly In front of your boms Is very undesirable. For the satisfaction of my own curiosity, I made an estimation one Sunday of the number of cars that passed my home, and found that approximately 1,200 clanging, rumbling cars swept only a few feet In front of my door during the day. “The cars on Peachtr&e street commence run ning at an early hour In the morntng, and continue to pass to and fro until after 12 o'clock at night. They are almost a never-ending nuisance and their removal would be welcome to me.” Now there Is not a bigger-hearted and more generous eltlxen In Atlanta than Justice Kingsbery. He would not deliberately do or say anything that smacked gf in difference to tha comfort of other people. And yet see how he has permitted blmself thought lessly to drift Into a purely selflah and aristocratic argu ment: "Remove the cars from Peachtree because there are some 1,200 rumbling, clanging cars passing my door every day up to midnight. They are a never-ending nuisance and their removal would be welcome to me." Tee, but how about the other fellow: How about the good people on Juniper and West Peachtree streets? They have ears and nerves and like to sleep and rest also. And It to the cars already running on Juniper and West Peachtree we add the volume of travel that used to run on Peachtree, don't you nk>poso that the 1,600 or 1,800 cars would be just as much of a nuisance to Juniper and West Peachtree? We know Justice Kingsbery too well to believe that he would, after reffectlon, base his approval of the Peach tree plan upon an argument so aristocratic aa this. It Is because of the many whose Interest, convenience and comfort are Involved in this matter that The Geor gian Is taking an Interest In it The Peachtree Car Tracks. If the majority of those who live on Peachtree street are opposed to the removal of the street car tracks from .that great thoroughfare. It la high time that they were making that fact evident to the city council and to the people. Those who ere In favor of this removal are particu larly active and appear to be especially coherent In their plans and purposes. The list of their namee has been published, and while In quality they represent many of the very best people on that thoroughfare, they are by no means a majority, and are therefore not strong enough numerically to control the situation. We have one or two communications 'from private citizens along that line on this page today. But the point we wish to ascertain Is the sentiment of the majority of Peachtree residents whose wishes should prevail in this important matter. If the show of hands should demonstrate that the majority of tha Peachtree people are In favor ofjhe plans proposed by Capptaln Clayton and others, we are quite conAdent that their wishes ought to prevail. If, on the other hand, the majority la against the proposition, the plan ought to be discarded at one. We said on Friday that The Georgian had no Interest In the matter beyond the Interest of the majority, of those who were personally concerned and that we were willing to follow the majority In the mat ter. Our own Idea of the situation Is that the removal of the tracka would entail great Inconvenience upon the majority of the Peachtree residents and would practi cally close that great thoroughfare as a constant enjoy- ment to all those who are not able to enjoy the luxury of vehicles to carry them up and down Its length. We expressed the belief that Ave-sevenths of the people of Peachtree street were In the attitude to oppose this plan If they cared to do so. But as the matter stands now, the only parties that seem to be active are those In favor of the proposition, and unless the majority be stirs Itself an dorganlsea its expression. It will simply^ by apathy, permit the minority to express the Sentiment of the street and to control the disposition of the tracks. If the maojrlty Is opposed to the removal of the car tracks and will say so. The Georgian will help them to Aght But If the majority is indifferent or on the other side, It la certainly not The Georgian’s Inclination or duty to oppose a plan which seems to be acceptable to most of those who take pains to express themselves. Whatever Is done should be done quickly. If there Is going to be any opposition to the plan,- It ought to be organized and somebody should go to work to organize it. If it Is not done there will be nothing loft to conclude but that the proposition meets with universal favor. Meanwhile, here Is a remark which fairly expresses the opposition of those not personally Interested la the matter. One of the most charming ladles of Atlahta whose fortune' Is compressed within narrow limits, re marked on Saturday: “If the car tracks are removed from Peachtree, 1 shall take occasion to take a dally ride on the last week of their stay, for after that I do not expect to be able to hire a conveyance to rido on Peachtree more than once a year.” It la not often Chat The Chicago Chronicle Ands a good word to say for the South, but when It doea get straight in this direction It says something worthy of note. In a recent issue, The Chronicle ridicules the com parison of the negro lynching! In the South with the massacre of the Jews In Russia, and declares: “The offense committed by the negroes Is the most heinous and Insufferable conceivable and the Jews are killed simply because the murderers owe them money. There is also a great disparity In, point of numbers. The number of Jews killed In one day Is greater than the number of negroes lynched since the revolutionary war." It does not seem necessary to add anything to this pungent statement of fact Have We Lost the Love For Cattle. It Is not difficult to And an explanation of the ever- Increaslng popularity of Tho Southern Cutlvator with tho farming life of Georgia, when we read from .the pen of Bdltor Hunnlcutt such a pastoral plea as this which follows. It Is common sense expressed In beauty, and should weigh decisively In the farming plans of our Georgia folk. "The Bible tells us that one of the very Arst duties God Imposed upon Adam was to give names to the animals as He caused them to pass In a review be fore him. Abel, Adam's second and favorite son, was a shepherd. Noah had to build the ark large enough to accommodate two of every species of the animals. The Lord's favorite sacriAce was a lamb upon the al tar. Sheep Arat gave us our standard of money value.

The greatness of every tribe has been largely measured by their herds of cattle. No nation has risen to any high degree of merit, that did not pay special attention to the raising and breeding of stock. Today wo And the foremost nations lead ers In the cattle industry. England owes much of her greatness to the Shorthorns, Herefords, Southdown* and Berkshire*. F.ance is noted for her Percheron horses and Romboulette sheep. Germany for her draft horses and Coach stallions. Holland for her cows, Scotland for her Clydsdale horses, Aberdeen Angus cattle, and Cheviot sheep, and the Isle of Jersey, that gem of the sea, Is famed for her dairy queens. All our Northern and Western states are rich In blooded stock and every State la noted for some special line of stock breeding. Our poor, loae Southland has lost that close connection with animal breeding and has pinned her faith to a Aeecy staple grown upon a weed. Our ears have been closed to the kindly music of lowing cattle, that they might be Ailed with the din of politicians who have led us astray from the paths of successful agriculture with that misleading cry ‘‘of our being blessed with a God- given monopoly In growing cotton." So far have we strayed from the right paths, that whatever of a blessing our monopoly contained It has been turned Into a curse by our neglect to raise stock upon our farms. God Himself has put a curse upon any one- crop system of farming and no man or set of men can remove it. Man la declared to be the king of an imals, and for him to thrive aright or to rule well, be must dwell, surrounded with members of the In ferior animals, that they may satisfy his hunger, enrich his soil and till bis lands, while he ministers to their every want and need with diligence and OUR PLATFORM-—The Georgian stands for Atlanta’s Owning its own gas and elec tric light plants, as it now owns its water works. Other cities do this and get gas as low as 60 cents, with a profit to the city. This should he done at once. The Georgian believes that if street rail ways can be operated successfully by European cities, as they are, there is no good reason why they can not be so operated here. But We do not believe this can be done now, and it may be some years be fore We are ready for so big an undertaking. Still Atlanta should set its face in that direction NOW I GOSSIP Nooks and Comers of American History By REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY. HOW.SIR HENRY CLINTON WAS SHECWMATED CAP7. HARRISON MAKES A SPIRITED REPLY TO MR. GEORGE W. WILLIAMS There was a time when Long Island Sound was full of whales and whaling companies were thick on both Shores of the Sound. For some time before the breaking out of the American Revolution the whales had slipped away to other wa ters, and, as a consequence, the whal ing companies were doing a poor busi ness. Notwithstanding this fact, however, the company organizations were, In many instances, retained, and at the t o nrotmHoo mines „e outbreak of hostilities between the col- ,f* * he ml " d * °* th ® P«>P ® To the Editor of The Georgian: Having published the second attack upon me by Mr. George W. Williams, of Laurens county, I presume you will afford me an opportunity to defend myself that my good name may not be besmirched by this man. The public has been given a mass of matter about the soldiers' home, growing out of a sensational Investiga tion of the management of the Institu tion, and many efforts have been made onles and the mother country there were little squads of men all along the shore who were ready at short notice for any kind of partisan service. It may be said In passing that Long Island, settled by the conservative Dutch and by the sons of English gen tlemen, was a regular neat of Tories, while Connecticut, of almost purely Puritan stock, was thoroughly demo cratic and patriotic. If space permitted it would be pos sible to Ml column after column with the thrilling encounters between the Tories on the south shore and the patriots on the north shore of Long Is- and Sound, but I will content myself with the story of how patriotic Captain David Hawley negotiated an exchange of prisoners. On Holland Hill, some 2 miles out from FalrAeld, Conn., there dwelt, In the spring of 1779, General G. S. Sti llman, one of the most prominent Whigs in thp section, and a great friend to the cause of liberty. Stillman was man enough to attract the especial attention of Washington and to receive from the great chieft ain’s own hand the commission of brigadier general, and at the time In question General SHIlman, at the head of his troops, was at the aforesaid Hol land Hill, with headquarters In his own fine mansion. Sir Henry Clinton thought It would be a Ane thing to capture the distin guished Whig and to parade him along the more public thoroughfares of New York in Irons. For the capture of Sllllman Sir Hen ry selected a man named Glover, a Tory refugee, who had once worked for the general, and knew him well. Leaving Floyd Neck, L. l„ In a whal ing boat, with eight other refugees, Glover succeeded in reaching Fairfield about midnight, and, surrounding the Sllllman mansion, captured the gen eral with but little difficulty. Negotiations were at once opened with the enemy for the exchange of their prisoner: but, to the chagrin of the patriots, the answer came back that the Americans had no one In their possession whom the British would consider an equivalent for the Illus trious Whig general. Then It was that the gentus of Cap tain David Hawley came into play. The captain remembered that there waa then living ut Fort Neck, a village In the town of Oyster Bay, L. I.; the Hon. Thomas Jones, a Justice of the supreme court of the province of Now York, and one of the stancheat royal ists In the land. He figured, with his good, hard, horse sense, that Jones might be considered the equivalent of Sllllman. With Captain Hawley, to think was to act, and. marshalling twenty-five of tho bravest of the whalers of Bridge port, ho set out for Stony Brook Creek, on tho Long Island shore, some 50 miles from their quarry. Arriving at the Jones mansion about 9 o'clock In the evening, they found his honor and a host of friends In the midst of a grand banquet. The revelry came to a sudden and most unceremonious closo, and within less than an hour after their arrival Hawley and his men were well on their way back with their distinguished prisoner, and InBlde of twenty-four hours the Honorable Thomas Jones, justice of the supreme court of Con neetlcut, was In durance vile on the Connecticut side of the sound "Here's your man," said Captain Hawley to the American authorities; "and I reckon he will prove to be big onough to swap off for our General Sll llman.” The captain’s Judgment proved to be true, and In a little while Jones was exchange for the general, and Sir Hen ry Clinton had nothing but his labor for his pains. MR. BRYAN'8 FUTURE. To the Editor of The Georgian: I do not claim to be* a politician, or to he wise In statecraft, but ns one of tho great main of the people who think for themselves, t desire fo offer a few thonglit. on the cnniildacy of non. William J. Itrjnn for tho presidency, nnd the evident Inten tion of the Democratic politicians to run him for the third tlnw for thnt high of fice. . No one dotthfs Mr. Bryan's Illness for the position, hut Is It wise to present r- twice-defeated candidate to the people of the United Ktatee for their suffragei Are there no other men of hralna nnd character In the Democratic parly? To again nom inate Mr. Bryan would he a confession that he waa the only one worthy of this honor. There la nothing that auereeds like ■ucceea, and, as a presidential candidate, Mr. Bryan haa not been a tureens, but a fallnre-twlce a failure, lie la it chronic candidate, and aueh men are not popular. Men do not like to continually vote for the same man. anil thousand* of them have grown gray voting for Mr. Itryaa: mill they are tired of Tt and they want a new candidate. „ There Is tto evidence whatever that the people desire Mr. Ilrysu now more than In 1896 and 1900, and. In my humble opin ion. It would In- tho extreme of folly to again nominate hint. It Is a win man who learns the leaaona of the past, w 111 the Democratic leadera forget the paat. and again butt their hcada agatnat the rock of failure? 1 ho|ie not. There are many wise and true men In against the home—trustees and offi cials employed by them. Charges were made of mismanage- ment and abuse of the Inmates. A resolution was adopted by the general assembly and a committee was ap pointed to make Investigation, and re port to the next general assembly. The committee assemhled and spent five or six days taking testimony and examining Into the affairs of the home. A report was made and pub lished. This report did not reAect seriously upon the trustees or any of the present officers. Some suggestions and recommendations were made to the trustees, and some complaint made about turning disorderly men away without means to support themselves, etc. Since the adjournment of the com mittee. Mr. Williams continues to keep up "the fight,” as he terms it, and In making threats about what he will do when he comes back to the general as sembly. He has misrepresented me In.these articles and drawn me into a newspa per controversy very distasteful to myself. But no man has ever assailed me In any way at any time without hearing from me In my own defense. Mr. Williams persists In charging me rlth having "bitterly denounced the Inmates of the home,” and that I called them a “lot of old bums and hood- luma." I have admlted that I have denounc ed la strong and emphatic terms, with all the earnestness I could command, the disgraceful misconduct of a lot of habitual drunkards who have been sent to the home, and who have repeatedly violated the rulea against drunkenness and disorderly conduct In the home. Some of these men after many mild reprimands and cautions have been suspended for different periods, gen erally for thirty days, when their conduct demanded such suspension. Not a single old. decrepit man among them that I ever heard of or saw. I have sanctioned the action of the trus tees In making and enforcing these ruler against these drunken, boisterous Inmates, because the law-abiding, quiet, old men In the home deserved to be protected against the abuse and misconduct of these dissipated Inmates. I have felt perfectly Indignant when I have heard how some of the rowdies have abused, cursed and threatened their roommates who chided them or Complained of their conduct. The original rules never anticipated any such conduct and when the trus tees found the necessity for It more stringent rules were adopted to sup press the evil. It has been nearly ac complished by turning out some of the moat disorderly ones and enforcing the rules against them all. I have characterized these Incorrigi ble whisky drinker* as "a lot of old bums,” and so they have been, and the truth of all I say can be easily estab lished by the testimony of those who know all about the home for the post three years. This drunkenness has been reported by the surgeons, by the superintend ents, by the' president of the board, and by the Investigating committees. It cannot be denied that whisky lias been the curse of the Institution. I have said nil .this and many other things on the same line. I have felt that these men were ungrateful, and that there was no excuse whatever for this misconduct. Mr. Williams and other members of the Investigating committee heard me denounce these rowdy Inmates, as I have stated, because I made no secret of my condemnation of this class. Now, Mr. Williams, for purposes of his own, has charged me with charac terizing all the Inmates In the home, or as he sftys, "tho inmates of the home" with being "old bums,” etc. I have never spoken 111 of these hon orable old men. I have befriended scores of them time and time again. I have worked hard to render this place of refuge for their declining years a quiet, orderly, delightful i lace. I have in very many ways helped to make all their surroundings pleasant. I do not Intend to allow Mr. Williams or any one else to hold me up to public scorn as a man who would harm by word or deed these old heroes. Many of them are my personal friends, and of ten thank me for my attentions to them and my efforts to supply their wants. This man Williams, whose middle name I am glad to know Is not "Washington," as I had been led to be lieve, grows very angry when his own contemptible conduct is exposed and when I stated that his demand for ho tel bills was turned down as being un authorized by his own resolutions. He says: "I call the captain's attention to my name which Is correctly signed to this article so that he will not be surprised If In the future he finds me usurping the prerogative of his patron saint, Ananias." I have thus much to say in conclu sion: The above quoted sentence Is i malicious slander and the man who Applies it to me Is a contemptible liar. W. H. HARRISON.
