Tbe passage Into the hands or a receiver of Tbe Atlanta Kawa to aa
event which calls for considerate and iiot unkindly comment, at our
hgbda. . ~ / 0,*:
We 'Would be lead than bo neat if we did not say bat there to not
- room for tbrde afternoon papers In Atlanta, and (bat from tbe beginning
we have indwn this fget, We have realised from the flrat that one
of tbe three would Call to prosper, and wa have bullded with all our
might from tbe earl teat Issue to make Tbe Oeorgtaa eo good and clean
and great a newspaper that lu merits would survive all competition
If we bave done Ibis, It Is • matter of grateful happiness to na. but
It offers no temptation tot an unworthy rejoicing orer tbe mister-
tunes of a lass successful neighbor.
Any clilxea of Atlanta,baa a perfect right to establish a ancoesifnl
newspaper In Atlanta If he desires to do so. and can make It succeed.
It ta e natural and laudable Investment of tba money of a successful
business man and however keenly we bave mat such men In competition
we hare never bad any feeling leas than friendly toward tbe moneyed
Interacts represented In Tba Kawa.
And for tbe rest we extend to tba publishers lo tbla hour tbs aa
aurauoa of our kindliest consideration, and our beat wishes for the fu
ture.
Mr. Charles Daniel, tbe manager of The News, has been a diligent
and tireless worker. He baa put hla blood and bis brain Into its strug
gles for nearly flva yaara. Perhaps of all who bars been connected with
that paper he will suffer tbe keenest pang inlte emparressment. Whatever
the personal relations between Indlriduala. tba Impersonal editorial “wa"
cannot fell to feel for him tbe bumu consideration of sympathy for a
strong man who suffers a bitter disappointment. Mr. Daniel la a
mao of conspicuous and comprabsnatve ability and no single failure
should permanently bait hla success. i
For tba capable and faithful staff of Tba News reportorlal, business
and mechanical, wbo have dona auch diligent and effective work for
year*, we have tba slnewreet sympathy and tba heartiest good wishes
that they may each and all land on their teat In some other Held or use
fulness
After all keeq rivalries are measured, tbe newspaper rank Is at last
and should be a fraternity. In wblcjh competition, however strenuous,
should End a resting place, and in which tangents of endeavor, however
.varying, should 'Hud some epbere of common union and good will.
A STREAK OF POISON I
One of the obstacles wblcb Southern men working for tbe better
ment of the races have to combat la tha reckless and venomoua character
of the negro newspapers published In H)e Northern and Western capi
tals and sent Southward for wholesale distribution and demoralisation
among tbe negroes of tbe South.
These papers are literally criminal In Ihe falsehood, tbe abuse end
In the venomous appeals which they make tft tbe prejudice and passion
of tbe negro. They ara incendiary In tba hlg|ieit degree, and If a while
roan should write them anywhere he would doubtless be arrested by the
oOelala, and would certainly be thoroughly denounced by every reputable
uewepaper In tba republic.
And yet these newspapers bearing tbelr message of bitterness and
arson and murder are being distributed week by week, lo many cases grat
uitously, among tbe rank and Die of tbe uneducated and undisciplined ne
groes of the 8outb. The city pf Chicago to au especially foul nest
f joqrnallsm. .Tbgra:drg~Ha , te~urT5tir ueffo nCWspApers -
publlsbed there whoee names need not lie mentioned, but whoee Issues
should be forbidden by law'to come Ihto the South for tbe Incendiary doc-
trines that they teach. One of them In particular we bave In mind
which both lo cartoon and In red and murderous suggestion, would be
Ilka a biasing torch flung Into a magazine. If tbe Inflammable element of
tbe negro race was not held in check In tbe South.
Now there are people In the South wbo are making an earnest and
conscientious effort to solve this great question along high and generous
lines of consideration for tbe Inferior race, and there are men who are
working knee deep In prejudice and almost overwhelmed with skeptical
distrust, to better If imsslble tbe conditions and relations of tbe races.
We point these men unhesitatingly to tbla as one of tbe Influences
lhit are mocking and destroying their best endeavors. They can never
.auccaeiLlu building mi that feeling of. cunfldepcs and good will on the
part of 'the‘nCgfo toward tbe white man wblcb they are seeking to es
tablish until they put a stop to thtaeeaaeleaa stream of malignant false
hood and Incendiary appeal which cornea through the malla.
We are prepared to believe that tbe leading negroes of the South
In pulpit and In press and In school room should co-operate and doubtless
will cooperate with the beat element of tbe Southern race In demand
ing the closing of tbe malla to-lbe Incendiary aud murderous publica
tions to which w# allude. —
We direct tbla matter carerully and earnestly to the attention of
the Civic league and the Gospel Union. and.suggest ta them to taka 1m-
mediate steps In the postal department and In auch legislation as may
be necessary to reinforce It. to cut off this stream of poison that la
flowing from tbe black sanctums of tbe North and West Into tba homes
of the Southern negro.
, has already done great service In many ways to our people, and we .bold
blm heartily and extend him an ever ready welcome to tbe metropolis of
Dixie. ! s
Mr. Page, however, to not ooe wblt fairer And nlore helpful iban Ur.
Baker, than whom no more absolutely tranquil and absolutely unbiased
"chlel baa aver came amang us takln' notes and ‘faith' to print em.” Mr.
Baker comes to study tba race question for bla great periodical, and be
eoimas with a mind entirely clear of any previous Impression, ready to re
ceive and record tbe actual facta as they ara actually presented to blm.
He bee workeo with marvelous detail of rasesreb end Investigation, and
baa accumulated and digested a stock of laformatlon about tha trans
cendent question and Its recant flaree eruption which mint make blm
heaceforward one of the authorities in Northern sanctums upon all the
phases of H. •
The South has nothing to fear from tha truth In such bands aa
these. Wa bars our glories of development and our grappling problems
<11 together. Wa have not been' always right or at every crisis Infallible;
but wa hare been always honeat, and we have done In most Instances
what any brave and honest people on earth would have done. When tbe
gun powder element of our population has precipitated an dxploelon. we
hare been swift and almost unanimous with our great conservative major
ity to restore the reign of taw.
We cannot expect to agree with and we surely cannot expect every
body to agree with us. We shall doubtless differ with Mime things which
will be written by each of these noted Journalists.
But we bave every confidence that the burden of the stories which
they tell In thetr different lines will be wholesome.' and helpful, and
that they will contain many observations from Ihe viewpoint of disinter
ested distance, which will be profitable to Ua to read. •
We wish these thoughtful observers a pleasant ami profitable stay In
Atlanta.
“IN TEXAS, DOWN fiY THE RIO GRANDE.”
Speaking of Brownsville, Tex., and Ita sudden leap Into tbo limelight
through the "shooting up" Incident and the subsequent discharge by
President Roosevelt of tbe negro troops Implicated In tbe affair. Collier's
for February 2. says:
“Brownsville Is most assuredly ‘on the map ' In Texas the dis
missal of tha ealorod troops has not created half the stir that It baa In
Wasblogton. While tbe president tends messages to congress and In
vestigating officers lo Brownsville In rapid succession; while Foraker
flashes and Tillman howls, tbe people down on Ihe Klo Grande are calling
our attention to their new prosperity. -They note the changes since a
certain epic waa written by a soldier gt old Fori Brown. This poem do
scribed the methods of the prlnoa of this world, who tired of hla abode,
and determined lo start another, on this earth. Uoing down on the Rio
Grande, he ^
V f
began to put thorns on all of Ihe trees,
And mixed up tb« sand with millions of fleas.
And scattered tannuilai along all tha roads.
Put spikes on the cactus and horns on the toads.'
“This libel on a great and good state has been lung In cow camps
from San Antonio to Helena. Tbe old apology for Texas—that the state
merely tacked water and good society—and the moth-ridden retort that
tbe abode of evil souls doth tack no more, are never heard by the modern
Texan. One explanation of the riot 1a almost as good aa another In
Texas. The rhymester bad hla own suggestion:
/
" 'The red pepper grows on the banks of the brook.
Tbe Mexicans use It In all that they cook.
‘T'v# a hell on the Inalde as wi-U as the out!'”
“The modern Texan can afford to smile at such past flippancy.
Whether H be Bailey, Brownsville, railway regulation, or the Galveston
plan of city government that brings his state Into the light, he knows
that Texas la Intereetyig. alert and studious of contemporary life."

HAVE THE TEN RAILROADS DONE IT?
Tba Uoorgtan Is not In the business of defending the railroads.
And. on the other hand, we are not In the buslneu of wantonly run
ning them down.
When they do wrong we criticise than) with unfailing promptness and
all Ihe vigor at our command.
For ibis we have from time to time Incurred their displeasure and
will doubtless do ao again.
When they do right we commend them, and we do not Intend either
now or In the future to unjustly defame them or to charge them with
things which tbay do not do.
It Is stated In our morning contemporary of Thursday that the recent
action of ten railroads In Increasing the freight rale on Boutbern Irod 25
per cent will prove a serious blow to the Iron manufacturing induitry here
In Atlanta and all over the state and the Booth, and that this apparently
uncalled for Increase In the rate on pig Iron will prove the worst blow tbe
Iron manufacturing Induitry In the Mouth baa recalrad In years Upon
this statement our morning cootemimrary calls tor vigorous action and
suggests an Immediate appeal of tbe matter to tha courts.
To thta loud eotaplatnl our afternoon contemporary of the same
day Joins a vociferous aecond and vlea with Ita morning neighbor In dou
ble-barreled protest.
If tbe facts maotloned by our contemporaries were correct we would
feel that they lustlfled a serious protest and conaldtratlon.
But svery dictate of Justice and prudance would suggest that a great
newspaper should be sure of Its facts before It proceeds to alarm ilia pub
lic or to condemn the agent.
The Georgian has taken some pains in Investigate Ihto matter and
we have It upon tbe authority of the highest representative In Atlanta
of the freight department of tha South's greatest railroad, that there la
not one word of truth lu Ihe statement of tn advance of the rates on
pig Iron to Atlanta or any other Bout hern point.
In vie* of this distinct statement, which to dsflnltely aud authorita
tively made, we would suggest to our contemporaries hereafter to make
their own Investigations, and unleaa they override the spedfle statement
of a definite ofllclal. that It would be well lo go out at once to quiet the
alarm they have created and Ihe prejudice they byre arotised.

New York. Feb. \.—"I am here to

Hotel Navarre.
O’Mars, who was once the famous
chief of police of Pittsburg, to now at

labllehlng the defense of Thaw. Hi
came from Pittsburg tots Wednesday

believed that the district attorney will
watch every movement made by
O'Mara.
“There to no eecret about my being

The Pennsylvania railroad has a new
testing plant In Altoona, an interesting
feature of which to an apparatus for
testing locomotives running at full
speed Indoors. Visitors at this plant
can thus get locomotives running at
full speed without traveling an inch,
with apparatus for keeping an exact
record of tbelr pulling power, fuel con.
aemptlon and avery other element of
efficiency and economy.
Although tho plant was built at great
expense, officials of the motive power
deportment are confident that as a re
sult of the careful study now mud#
possible the road will reap advantages
far greater than the cost of the venture.
Data obtained Includes the amotmt
of coal burned for the whole locomo

any given length of time, the wrelglit
of the cinders and (parks that go up
