A convention of the leading ne

on many of their race. The speeches

which occasioned lyuchiugeand pro

the legislature to pass'laws to briug

punished.

The Legislature, now in session at
the State Capital, has displayed com
mendable zeal in promptly getting
down to work; and the taxpayers
have reason for congratulation at
the earnest spirit thus far displayed
by their representatives. The mem
bers seemed to be moved by a com
mon purpose to put in every move
rnent of time in good honest work,
and to do that work in a business
like manner, A good beginning baa
been made.
If the same promptness and die-
patch is persevered in, the session of
1893 will deserve to be distinguished
in history for having successfully ac
complished, within the limitation
fixed by law, great and lasting good
for the State ; and the press and
people of Georgia will not be slow
to award the full meed of praise to
honest and efficient public service.
The second day of the session wit
nessed the passage of one bill by the
Senate, and of several by the House,
and the introduction of many new
bills in both branches—some of them
being of the highest importance.
These measures, far-reaching in their
• fleets, should be deliberately con
sidered, honestly debated, and diss
posed of with tlie patriotic purpose
of subserviog the interests of the
people. Deliberation is not dallying.
Discussion is not buncombe talk for
tlie benefit of the galleries. Hasty
legislation is the pandora’s box from
which springs unnumbered public
Ills. The mistake made by many
previous Legislatures has been in
unnecessary delay in the beginning,
aud then of rushing measures
through at the heal of the session,
whSn members had neither time or
inclination to give these measures
sufficient Study. This mistake the
present Legislature seems determined
to avoid, with results beneficial to
State’s interests, and satisfactory to
the people. Wo therefore cheerfully
accord to our legislators tlie praisei
so we'l merited, for an excellent be
ginning.
Some of the measures which will
receive a large share of attention
are worthy of notice. The bill of
Mr. Clay, President of the Senate,
making It obligatory upon the judges
to order that all executions shall be
private, is in the interest of botli pub.
lie order aud public virtue, and it
ought to pass by a unanimous yote
of both houses. We are surprised
that anv such law should be neces
sary. It is a matter for wonderment
that there can be found in Georgia
any Judge who will suffer a public
execution.
Tlie other bills of Mr. Clay look to
improvement in school law, and the
better administtation of the public
schools. That there are glaring de
fects in the law is aniyersally no
cepted, and if Mr. Clay’s bills will
remove existing evils, their passage
will be hailed with joy by teachers
and people.
A House bill which will attract
attention and evoke a great deal of
discussion is that of Representative
Osborne, of Cliatbuin, providing for
the purchase by the State, through
a constitutional amendment, of the
main stem of tlie Central railroad.
This bill will demand the closest
study and the most careful delibera
tion.
It is altogether likely this Legis
lature will provide for the quarterly
payment of teachers’ salaries. There
is a strong public sentiment, in favor
of this act of tardy justice to a
faithful aud long-suffering class of
public servants. The State’s treat
ment, of her public school teachers
in this regard is a crying shame.
I ji-1 Knees are known of teachers be.
ing forced to puv 60 per cent discount
iu order to realize on tlie scrip in
which 'liey are paid. This is horri
ble. 11 should never h«ve been pos
sible. Let this Legislature forever
remove this stain from our fair State.
ASSASSINATED.
Carter Harrison^ Miyyor of Chicago,
Foully Murdered.
Last Saturday uightabont 8 o'clock
Carter Harrison. Mayor of Chicago,
was shot to death in his own home
by a crank.
Carter Harrison wasone oftbe most
conspicuous figures in public life in
this cooutry. He was serving his
fifth term as mayor of Chicago. He
was recently el- cted on the demo
cratic ticket by 50,000 majority with
every paper in that city against him.
He w&o nearly 69 years of age but re
tained apparently all the physical and
intellectual vigor that enabled him
become the foremost man in the
greatest of our western olties.
The following account of the assas*
sination of Mayor Harrison is gather
ed from a dispatch to the Macon
News:
THE STORY IN DETAIL.
.Atlanta, Ga„ Oct. 38.—Mayor Car
ter Harrison was assassinated to
night in his own home by a crank
named Eugene Patrick Prendergast.
The assassin is a paper carrier
who says that his only reason for the
murder is that the mayor had prom
ised to make him city attorney and
failed to do it.
At 8:25 o'clock a smooth faced man
rang the door bell of the Mayor Har
rison's home on South Ashland bou
levard. Mary Hanson, a domestic
opened tlie door. The man asked if
the mayor was in and said he would
like to see him. The servant admit
ted caller.
Mr. Harrison who had. been lying
down, started out to the hall as he
beard his name meutioued.
THE FATAL SHOT.
H j s caller advanced ten feet down
the ball and without a word began
firing. He fired three times, the
third striking Mayor Harrison. The
bullet hit just above his heart. He
walked back to the dining room and
fell on tlie floor of the pantry.
The assassin turned aud walked
out. Tlie mayor's son, twenty-five
years old, ran down tlie stairs at the
sound of the shots and hurried to his
father. Mr. Harrison’s coachman
rau into the rear of the hall as the
murderer was passing out the door.
The coachman had a pistol and tir
ed twice at the assassin.
Tile mayor bled rapidly.
To his son and frieDds w ho stood by
him lie said that he was shot through
the heart and would die%oou. While
speaking he became unconscious aud
died before tlie doctor arrived.
While the police were* looking for
the man aud pickiug up su-picious
characters, the very man himself
walked into the Desplaiues street
police station with a pistol in his
baud. He was trembling aud ashy
pale. “1 did it,” he said, “lie prom
ised to make me corporation counsel
and broke hts word.”
When it became known that he
was at the station house, a great
crowd assembled in front.
The officers ieariog the mob would
break iu. quietly slipped Premier
g&at out the back way and hurried
him to the dungeon under the city
hall.
TWELVEJAJORITY.
Mr. Voorhees Will Get His Bill
Through Tomorrow.
THE HOUSE wilUCT PROMPTLY:
Then the Work of the Extra Session
Will Be Over.
Washington, October 28.—(Special
to Constitution.)—Tlie final vote on
the bill repealing the purchasing
clause of tlie Sherman act will be
taken in t lie senate at 2 o’clock Mon
day.
The bill will pa s b\ eleven or
twelve majority.
Senator Yoorliees gave notice this
afternoon that he would ask for a
final vote at that hour.
There was no objection. Nearlyall
the am--udments were voted upon
this til tomoon and voted down. One
or two are to lie voted upon Monday,
but tlie principal portion of the ses
sion from 11 to 2 o’clock will be de
voted to speech-making. The senate
did not adjourn this afternoon, but
again reces- il until Monday. Thus
I lie present session is still the legisla
tive session of last Tuesday week,
there having beeu no adjournment of
tlie senate since that time.
