In e exercise ,of the rights, privileges J duties that spring from that prin *ile lies the cure for th? legislative i\ judicial evils now often so keenly felt. A Case In Point. As a case in point I here quote a paragraph from the legal notes of the New York Sun: The recent decision of the Supreme court of Michigan hold tIle act of legislature unconsti 'tufrolfi!' which assumed to authorize the city 'ot T iS troit to acquire and oper¬ ate street rail’R ac * 8 ' s merely an en¬ forcement constitution-which of thati’/’ovlsion of the Michigan prohibits the state from being a larty to or in ' »sted in any work o. internal im¬ minent or from engag n S * n carry p on such work. The part simply that this operates to’wevent the «♦ e from empowering a "dty to do \ . -.-m y it authorize the it cannot opinion: the do itself. city “If the of V lfdslature irfrolt e quote to 1 ?•* into the proposed arranvement, muiicipal .ij authorize any other .j do so, and by concert of V'tion ctween the- various municipal' ans 68 may cover the state with opened nf ..pid transit, owned and the municipalities. This would' 11 ' the state to do, by means of age 1 ' ciea called into being by Itself, wHf THE RECORD. DEVOTED TO THE INTEREST OF JOHNSON COUNTY AND MIDDLE GEORGIA. WRIGHTSVILLE. GA.. THURSDAY 5 AUGUST 24. 1899. it cannot itself do and what the consti¬ tution forbids its doing.”' It is a mts lepresentation to declare that the court is opposed to the municipal ownership of street railroads, The court has done nothing more than to show that the constitution, which is the highest law cf the state, forbids such owner¬ ship. If the people of Michigan want to change their constitution in this re¬ spect there is nothing to prevent them. Without discussing whether the Su¬ preme court of Michigan might not, if it had been so disposed, have found just as good argument for upholding instead of pulling down the law in question, the editor of the note .quoted happily condenses the -matter .that have discussed last ,week;'.«n$.in. the sentence: “If. the peopll constitution of-'Mich) gan want to change- their there is nothing to prevent them.” What the people want, ,so it is just, they can obtain, provided they set about it in the right way. Anglo-Saxon Socialism. 'r Under above heading I And the fol lowing paragraphs in the Cleveland (O.) Leader, which also bear direct¬ ly on the principles of law, to meet new needs: “It is about time to re¬ vise the beliefs commonly held by the American people regarding the tendency of various nationalities to¬ ward socialism. In recent elections in this country the avowed socialists have shown more strength in New England cities like Haverhill, New Britain, New Haven, Bridgeport and Lynn than they have manifested any¬ where in the west, where the foreign elements of the population are many and powerful. The native Americans have been more inclined to vote that way than the Germans of Wisconsin or the Scandinavians of Minnesota. This is in harmony with the extreme¬ ly radical self-governing British col¬ onies of Australasia, where the popu¬ lation is almost wholly of British ori¬ gin. The state ownership of railroads, telegraphs and telephones is practical¬ ly universal. Some of the colonies in¬ sure their citizens against death, oth¬ ers pension them in old age. Many loan money to settlers at low rates of interest. All, in various ways, go far beyond anything ever known in the United States in the direction of pa¬ ternalism and state control of affairs left to individuals in this country. These Anglo-Saxon communities are outdoing any of the continental pow-' ers of Europe in their socialistic ex¬ periments. In the light of such facts it is only fair to cease looking upon socialism as an outgrowth of the feebleness or wrong-hcadedness of the Germans, the French, the Italians or any other non-English-speaking na¬ tionalities. It is in the tendencies of the age rather than in the blood, or beliefs of any one part of the human family.” An American Triumph. American locomotive designers and builders have every reason to feel proud of the Vonderful triumph they have won.' American locomotives lead the world. Here is a short dispatch from Philadelphia that tells the tale: “The Baldwin locomotive works have just received an order for thirteen consolidation engines for the - state railways of Finland. These locomo¬ tives are to be ready- for delivery by Jan. 1, 1900. The steamship Puritan is taking forty engines for the Chinese and Eastern railway, and thirty-one more are to be built and ready for shipment by the beginning of next year. Ten locomotives for the French States railway, the first American en¬ gines ever imported to France, are be¬ ing loaded on the steamship Panama, which will sail for Bordeaux In a few days. The second lot of ten engines for the Midland railway. England, will leave New York in a few days on the steamship Crelg Earn. Note«i. The Wabash railroad has raised the wages of all employes on its eastern division, which includes all lines in In¬ diana, Michigan and Ohio. Baltimore, Md., labor unions are ag-. Rating the formation of a labor lyce um—a lyceum distinctly industrial in its character, broad in its scope, ele¬ vating in principle and having for its foundation the uplifting of labor and the general bettermenfof humanity in general. The annual convention of the Na¬ tional Letter Carriers’ association will be held in Scranton, Pa., commencing Monday, Sept. 4 (Labor day). The op¬ ening will be preceded by a parade ol about five thousand men, to be re¬ viewed by President McKinley and Postmaster General Smith. The Amalgamated Society of- Rail way Servants, England, has just issu¬ ed Its annual report. It embraces all grades of workers on train or track, and has over 54,000 members and near¬ ly a billion dollars in reserve. The membership and funds have doubled it the last nine years. The Elastic Goring Weavers' Amalga¬ mated association has the smallest membership of any affiliated with th< American Federation of Labor, its membership being less than 350. it is nevertheless one of the strongest finan¬ cially owing to the members paying higher dues than are paid in any othei union. VOLUNTEERS THINK. AND THE ADMINISTRATION IS “SHAKING" THEM. Tho Unholy War for Enslaving a Teoplo, That of Bight Ought to Ho Free, Can Not He -Trusted to Intelligent Soldiers — Hired Men in Demand. When the great American nation said that Spanish oppression should stop in Cuba and declared war to eii £orce its demands the hands of the pr'egident were upheld by a united -people. Volunteers pressed forward by thousands from every state. Most of those volunteers were from the host blood of the nation. The North aud tlie South vied with each other In sending their best and bravest, sons to tilts holy war for humanity. After the war for freedom was over the pres¬ ident inaugurated a new war for the purpose of enslaving a free people. He did not call on the states for vol¬ unteers in the war of conquest. He didn't like the volunteers very much. They could think as'well as fight. He asked for an increase of the regular army and he is now filling up its ranks. A New York paper tells the kind of men he is getting. Just lis¬ ten: ‘During the recruiting last week at New York one of the news paper reporters went through the crowd at the Third avenue office. The men who came,’ he says, ‘impressed the outsider as a needy lot who had tried everything to earn a living be¬ fore they came to the shelter of the army. They ranged in age from the minimum to the mlxinnim allowed by the army regulations and walked about as if they had at last found a refuge from the uncertainty of New York work.’ Those who were accepted gave evidence of feeling great relief. There was no more need of care and anxiety for the morrow. The government would feed and clothe them and take care of them when sick, and the work provided would offer at least a diver¬ sion from the ordinary and promised some little adventure. Yes, as one man put it, the army was a refuge for the poor devil who had fared badly in the civil battle of life.” And here is what the Chicago Tribune, a life-long Republican paper, says of the enlistments: “The men who are crowding the Chicago recruit¬ ing office number but few real patriots among their ranks. In general, these men, army officers say, are not enlist¬ ing because their country needs them, nor because the flag is being flred upon nor because the army #alls them. The extra effort to recruit men has merely increased the production of the or¬ dinary output of peace times and drawn in the lovers of adventure who are out of employment, with an oc¬ casional drop of aggressive patriotism intermingled... .The majority of them are out of work and realize that it will not be long before winter sets in.” These men are only facing pestilence to escape starvation. • Compare them with Funsten’s gallant fighters or Stotsenburg’s heroic men. But then by careful training they may make pretty good killing machines, and as most of them have no friends to inquire into their treatment or mourn their death. they will not give the administration nearly as much trouble as did the intel Ugent volunteers now seeking their homes. They have no great states be¬ hind them with millions of earnest and loving men and women to demand for them justice and fair treatment. Yes, Mr. President, you may not get as good soldiers, but you will reduce criticism to a minimum. Besides that, you are also redeeming your promise to fur¬ nish employment to idle men; employ¬ ment in killing and being killed, and if the war lasts long enough you may be able to furnish work for every man ’.hat wants it. A Job Lot of Jewels. Secretary Alger has made mistakes, but when the books are posted and the record made up his management or the war department will not stand lowest in the list of those things that liawe given the administration prestige the republican party strength for future contestn.—Chicago Inter- Ocean. The Chicago brother is eminently correct. Alger will not be at the bot¬ tom when the republican .party begins to. reckon up Its Jewels. Here are some of its jewels: Repudiation of pledges made at St. Louis in reference to bi¬ metallism and civil service reform; criminal aggression in the Philippines, benevolent assimilation with the bay¬ onet and the sword; a wicked tariff passed for the benefit of trusts, em¬ balmed beef, horse doctors for sur¬ geons, cattle pens for transports^ push¬ ing volunteers to the front after their terms of service had expired, favoring the regular army by keeping it ’idle at Manila, refusal to make Cuba free after congress had solemnly guaran¬ teed its Independence, the voluntary purchase of a foreign war at an ex¬ travagant price, denial of the Declara¬ tion of Independence, retiring General Eagan on full pay after he had been convicted by court martial, holding up the order of court which putlished Captain Carter for robbing the gov eminent of a million and a half and keeping him In the army on full pay, buying transports at four prices to. enrich the president's brother, and othei^ favored contractors, and sinking one of them to keep the fraud from being exposed, camps established to enrich railroads and encourage yellow fever, censorship of mails and tele¬ graph, to the end that the people 6hould be deceived; an attempt to de¬ stroy our greatest military leader by indirect charges and cowardly inuen do, blackening the reputation of a gallant naval hero to benefit a favor¬ ite who never captured a ship or fired a shot, conducting for two and a half years a general jail delivery for the benefit of convicted bankers. These are only a few of “the things that have given the administration prestige and the Republican party strength for fu¬ ture contests,” and who will dare to say that the late secretary has not stood very close to his chief in weav¬ ing this beautiful web of immortal glory? Official Duty vs. the Political Canvass. It is really too bad to send Adjutant General Barry to San Francisco to fix up Governor Poynter's fences with the returning volunteers just at a time when Barry’s boom for the congres¬ sional nomination in the Sixth district was enjoying a good growth.—Omaha See. The above article is characteristic of modern republicanism. The editor of the Bee cannot understand how public duty can rise above personal interest or how any man can abandon his own canvass for office in order to serve his country. General Barry does not go to San Francisco on a political mission. He goes as a representative of the state to officially attend to the reception and discharge of one of the most -gallant regiments that ever bore the American flag to a glorious vic¬ tory. It is his duty to be there in¬ stead of grabbing for delegates in the Sixth congressional district. We do not know who is to be Congressman Greene’s successor, nor do we care, so that he is a good man. It is none of our funeral, but if Patrick Barry is a candidate he will not lose votes because he is attending to the wants of our brave citizen soldiery. Why didin’t you say something about Gov¬ ernor Poynter who is also going to meet the returning heroes? You and your kind have for months tried to blacken his reputation with tlie Ne¬ braska soldiers, because he would not sign his name to a base lie passed by a Republican legislature. He does not indorse lying resc'utions, but when he thinks he can help the soldiers of Ne¬ braska he hastens to their relief and he takes with him a thousand dollars of the people’s money and will spend it for their benefit. Governor Poynter and General Barry will meet our re¬ turning soldiers at the Golden Gate and will give them a warm and cor¬ dial welcome home. In the meantime the political canvass will have to wait until all calls of patriotism are at¬ tended to.—Nonconformist. No Time for Evasion. It is stated that the republicans of the United States senate committee on the currency cannot agree upon the proposition that congress shall make a formal declaration of the gold stand¬ ard. It is understood that a majority of them are in favor of such a declara¬ tion, but one or two dissent. There Is, therefore, reason to apprehend that In respect to this very important matter there will be division among • repub¬ licans in congress which may result in no action being had. This would be distinctly disappointing to the sound money sentiment of the country and we think would, prove embarrassing to the republican party, since it would be used by the opponents of the gold standard as evidence that the party is not honestly and sincerely in favor of that standard.—Omaha Bee. If your party is “honestly and sin¬ cerely in favor of the gold standard,” why did it lie to the people so shame¬ fully at St. Louis? Your party has never yet declared in favor of that standard. On the contrary you asked the nations of the world to help you let go of as much of that standard as you already had. If you are honestly in favor of the single standard you obtained a million votes in 1896 under false pretenses. You elected your pres¬ ident by promising the people bimetal ism. No national convention has ever withdrawn that sacred declaration. The great republican party is as much pledged to bimetalism as is any of the other parties, the-only difference being that you will take It when England gives permission,.whili we propose to have it without the aid or consent of any other nation on earth. Prefer the Latter. At present there seems to be no way of protecting the public and restoring to the people their government, ex¬ cept by having the government own the railroads. As between having the corporations own the government or having the government own the cor poration, the American people wili prefer the latter.—National Watch¬ man. Pennsylvania’s silk Industry amounts 12.000,000 annually, an increase of per cent since 1895. RAPIDS-SHOOTING. There are Indians aud Indians. It is no uucommon thing to hear the re¬ mark: “You may educate the Indian you may bring him up in your own home, but you can never make him anything but a lazy brute.” There is ’one class of Indians in the oountry at least who can earn an honest and hard-won livelihood. Many people who know that the level of Lake Superior is twenty-five feet higher than that of the St. Mary’s river do not stop to think what that means to the lumber and iron ore shipping which must pass from Su¬ perior to the lower lakes. The result is, of course, a mile or more of rush¬ ing, roaring rapids, ■ through which no ship could pass with safety. To do away with this difficulty the wonderful canal and locks at Sault Ste. Marie have beqn built by the government. There the great freight¬ ers and passenger sliips ride into the lock where the water is of the same level as in the St. Mary’s river below, ure tied up with gates closed behind them, aud then the man at the ma¬ chinery on the locks touches a lever and the water begins to boil up in a seething mass through valves in the bottom. There is no end to the roar until the water in the lock has reached the level of Superior. Then the ship rides easily out through the open gates at the other eud of the lock. But the locks are the work of recent times. Before, long before, they ex¬ isted, the Indians used to search a channel through the dangerous rapids for their frail bark canoes. The summer tourist to-day scarcely reaches the “Soo” and stands on the lock to see the first ship pass through before lie is assailed by a swarthy, much-burned individual in poorly matched garments, who says: ‘‘Want to shoot the rapids, sir ?" The pros¬ pects of such a venture seem a little precarious to a strangor, but when the old gray-haired'Indian comes up and assures him that he has been doing that these fifty years aud can ‘‘do it good" now he yields. ' He follows the two Indians.to the shore, where they draw out a deep, roomy canoe, not of the ancient birchbark, and place him so low in it that barely his head and shoulders are above the edge. Now comes the excitement ! Draw¬ ing two twelve-foot hickory poles, the Indians steer the canoe between the rocks upstream by means of mighty shoves. There seems often no way of escaping a huge rock but looms up directly ahead, but just in time the hickory poles bend with a strong push and the boat is out in the foam again. Foam ! Foam ! Mountains of foam on every side ! Not waves, hut just seething, boiling waters. And the rooks fairly whiz by as the light craft whirls down the channel. Apparent¬ ly nothing can be seen ol the rocks from a distance, yet the Indians know where they are by some means, and, taking up their paddles, by a skillful stroke turn the boat aside. The old Indian stands in the stern and talks constantly in mixed Chippewa aud Canadian-French to his son in the bow, who, stripped to the waist, makes his great muscles obey the slightest order from his father. Would you not think a dollar more than earned by all that effort '! Y'et the stoical Indians work away for this small Lire all summer, live in a shanty on the wharf and save enough to live on during the winter. A Very Sanitary IIon».-, Japan has long rejoiced In earth¬ quake proof houses, and now we hear of an abode in Yokohama which pos¬ sesses the unique distinction of being microbe proof. A writer in Cham¬ bers's Journal says It is supposed to have been erected by an eminent Ger¬ man bacteriologist, who hopes by its aid to avoid all the ills to which hu¬ man flesh is heir so fur as they are (lue to zymotic causes. The house is built of glass bricks, so that there Is no need for windoivs, and the doors when closed ate perfectly air tight. Ventilation is brought about by air being forced into the building through cotton wool filters, and in case this treatment does not rob It of ail its bacteria, the air is further driven against glycerine-coated plutes of glass. Of course when the door of this strange domicile is opened to admit visitors armies of nlr-bome microbes must come in too; but the sunlight which plays around the rooms will soon kill off these.
