ELECTION BY PEOPLE i Os Judges And Solicitors Gen eral is B:uii r. This mornings Constitution says: “As soon ns the Hopkins bill, providing tor the election of judges and solicitors of the snpe riui court by the people, reaches i the bouse Representative Little, jof Muscogee, will present a B uh- I stitute that is backed by the dem ocratic leaders of the state. “ lhe Hopkius bill is believed to be drawn on lines that area trifle too undemocratic, and the substitute, while incorporating lhe main idea, so amends the measure as to leave the judiciary of the state in the hands of the democratic party. “It is likely that a caucus of the democrats of the house will be called in the next day or two, and that positive and united actions will be tak n. This v. ill array the populists and the republicans on the one side and the democrats on the other and in such a contest the issue is not involved in very much doubt.” Ou this grave question Gov- Atkinson is quoted in the follow ins forceful and et-aight from the shoulder language. ‘•There is no absolutely satis factory way of selecting judges and solictors. Ihe history of the state shows that there has been in the method of selecting them a constant change passing around the circle from apoiutment by the governor to election by the people aud back again to appointment by the governor. Every man who has had exper ience in political life knows that the longer any one system is ad hered to the more objectionable it b< comes, because of the growth of improper and questionabe method which increase as the sys ern grows older. “ There is no question now that tbe people of Georgi i have grown tired of the present system and are earnestly in favor of a change this is no reflaction upon the character or ability of those men who have been successful under this system for in my opinion tbe judiciary of will compare favorably with that of any of our Aster states and in all probabili ty nearly lhe same men would be successful ui-der any system adopted. Conceding this to be true however the fact that the methods now it vogue in election before the general assembly are many of them of so improper a character as to invito just criti cism impairs the influence and useful Less of the ablest and pur est of our solicitors general aud ndicial oftl 'ers. ‘•While primarily T would be iu favor of appointment by the gov ernor of the judiciary and letting the people hold the governor re sponsible for his selections in ever’-’ inetanoe, I do not believe it possible to s.-cure this change, and, L preference to continuing our present system, I earnestly favor so amending our constitution that judges and solicitors may be elect ed by the people of tbe state.l do not share in the fear of those whe apprehend that the worst element will dominate in these elections. The conservative m n of moral force and unselfish pat io'ism will he able in every ins anceto dicta e tbe election and secure the ser vice of proper men.

JUDGES AR3 STATE OFFICERS. “ The Judges have authority to act in the state, and, when called upon in conformity to law anywhere within the bounds of the state, his judgement and de crees are just as binding as they are in the particular circuit to which he may be assigned lam, therefore, decidedly c f the opin ion that not only partly welfare, but public good demand that these officers should ba elected by vote of the people on the general state ticket. It would be extremely unfortunate for any party having control of the state.administration | to have judges and solicitors in some of the judicial sircuits who are unfriendly to that administra tion . They could, in many re spects, cripple and embarrass it While it would be best to elect these officers on the general stale ticket, as heretofore stated. I think it would be entirely prop er for the people of each judi cial circuit, who are most di rectly .interested, interested, and who best known the qualifications of the respective candidates, to nominate the candidates, to be voted for in the contest. The fact that these aomiu ss were to to be submitted to the vote of the peop'e of the entire state would,of itself, inspire each party to put forward its purest ablest men presented to the state by th'ir party from other judical circuits. advices Holding a caucus. “1 he beet method of disposing of all propositions for a change of lhe state constitution is tc sub mit it to a party caucus and let all abide by the result of its de liberatois.

Turn bull, who claims to be an account ant, and Wi liam E. L. Ford Gould, who has been known as a Wall street speculator. The name of Aturo Baldasano v T pete, Spanish Consul general, having been mentioned ir. connec tion with the scheme to extort the sum of $4.500 from Senor Teixeira, a subpoena was issued for his at tendance at the examination in the case of Gould and Turnbull, which has been set down for Tues day.
