I There is no abatement in the interest man ifested by the people for free and fair elections, as evidenced by the large attendance at the meetings of the Citizens’ Club, and it is to be hoped that this will be characteristic of the chib until after the first election under the amended laws, which the organization stands pledged to sustain. The next meeting of the Citizens’ Club will be held at Turner hall on Monday evening, and every member who can possibly attend should make it a point to be there. The enemies of honest elections; the par tisans of factional candidates; the members of mgs that have fattened upon the people are active and a'ert, and are neither willing to let go their hold upon the public teat »jJl l ,'?. l . l L. a - st J_. !rß J e nor t 0 aliandon ,heir the wishes of the people by bribery and doctered returns. It is therefore essential tlitit those who oppose such reprehensible methods should be even more vigilant and leave no honorable thing undone to clean out, root and branch.all vestige of the abuses which have prostituted past elections in this county. Under the strong tegis of the Citizens' Club this reform can be effected. Let its members neglect no meetings. They are the camping grounds on the march forward to scatter the enemy’s lines. Every well-attended meeting is a post taken from the enemy. The last meeting was one that sent consternation into the enemy's camp, stampeded it and di vided its counsels. Let next Monday night’s rally of the club be as enthusiastic as that of two weeks ago. If congressman were paid by the piece for their woik, they couldn't pay their board. I "J v— .w RESENT THE SLANDER. Il there is any branch of the popular gov ernment in Georgia that shbnld be secure from the malignant shafts of slander, it is the judi ciary. Heretofore the breath of suspicion has not attached to it. It has been lifted above the discord of party strife; its skirts « have not been draggled in the stagnated pool ot politics; its ermine has been unsullied by the taint of partisan pollution. How humiliating it is that a reflection against the dignity of the judiciary of Georgia should come from the lips of a Georgian who is asking Georgians to elevate him to the gubernatorial chair. The grat uitous slander that has gone forth outside of the state’as well as permeated every part of Georgia deserves not only imme diate censure and protest, but ultimate and vigorous rebuke. No man who would asperse the high character and honor of the bench deserves the confidence, much less the moral support of Georgians. Nothing but the most profound contempt can e felt for a man who will, in the hope that he may gain votes, attack the very bulwark < f the state’s honor and the people’s shield. After Uncle Sam gets through investigating the Carnegie armor frauds the latter may not have such a pudding on his plate. The movement to erect a building at At anta, to be known as "the house of the Smith family," is a novel one, but if it is to be on a scale commensurate with the importance of the Smiths all over the country, Hoke Smith included, and if it is to be large enough to accommodate all the Smiths, big and little, old and young, there will be no room within the corporate limits. It will have to be erected in the country, and then Atlanta can annex it. The judiciary ot Georgia is the peer of that of any state in the union. It is above suspi cion. The effort of Evans or any of his fol lowing to smirch it with the taint of collusion with politicians will be resented at the home of every member of the judiciary of the state. • FABLES FOR THE INFANT CLASS. V. It was the distinguishing characteristics of a . thriving and populous city in a rich province, of which it was the capital, not only to be very proud of its commercial and industrial progress, a most commendable trait indeed, but whal is less commendable its vanity out ran temperate pride until its principal men be came so blinded that they could see nothing but their own greatness, and if they essayed to look beyond the confines of their hill begirt metropolis such an aureole of brightness and grandeur surrounded the city, mirage though it was, it confirmed them in the de lusive belief that there was nothing to be de sired elsewhere. As a result of this idolatry they counselled together to have both the members of the House of Lords taken from their city, and also the governor of the province, for who could live in the rural districts, the less metropolitan cities, or in the provincial towns I and come up to the full measure of greatness 1 by comparison with the ponderous statesmen j and gigantic intellects of the capital. Now the common people of the province i were much pleased with the wealth and prog ress of the chief city and capital, and for 1 awhile paid little haed to the extravagant boastings of its leading men, recognizing that a great deal of booming was necessary to keep it in advance of the more conservative and ■ solid cities of the province, but when it came I to permitting a tew boasters to parcel out all the high stations to themselves the people de , tided that it was a monotonous programpie and would have to be slightly modified, ahd , I shall tell you how it came about, that the slate was broken, to use a latter-day phrase. , The heavy-weight politicians of the capital had selected one of their number to be nom ’ inated by the province, and although the leading papers of the capital, the Morning Boaster and the Evening Bazoo, were at • sword's points, they both came to the sup port of the capital city candidate, and the boom they gave him and the numerous, counties of the province they asserted he would carry with a wild rush, was calcu lated to have dissuaded an outsider from at tempting to stem the tide, but the people of the prov'nee paid little heed to the launching of the boom, because, like so many other booms characteristic of the citv, they could see it was inflated to the bursting point, and that as soon as it got outside of the atmosphere of tlie place it would explode into fragments so small that there wouldn't be even a little boomlet left of it. And this proved to be the fate of the boom. Meantime the Morning ■ Boaster began to question the influence of the Evening Bazoo in promoting the boom, while the Bazoo on the other hand kept prodding the Boaster for a lack of sincerity and for permitting the peo ple's caiuiatakt to have an occasional decent mention irrnTLUiumns. To add to tha perturbation of the capital ring, its candidate had been induced to meet the people’s candidate in joint debate, and the result had not been at all satisfactory to the editor of the Morning Boaster who, to the intense disgust of the Evening Bazoo, had charge of the canvass for the capital candidate. As a result the latter was withdrawn from his unpleasant position and permitted to go pretty much wherever he pleased. This did not mend matters, however, for once given an opportunity to make speeches where the people's candidate was not pres ent to correct him, he fell into the old capi tal habit of making a great many wild charges that he couldn't substantiate and of saying a great many things which he bad better left unsaid, for jvhile such things didn’t count for much at the capital the people of the province had still clung to the good old way of making no charges reflecting upon the integrity and honor of their public servants that was not suscept ible of proof, and they had little patience with those who departed from the rule. But the capital candidate who borrowed this recklessness of speech naturally enough ' from his environment was not conscious of having done more than to be loyal to the prevailing custom of his city until in one of his pyrotechnic flights of fancy he announced that the judi ciary of the province had conspired with a political ring to elect the people’s candidate. This was the last straw that broke the camel’s back, and so angered the people of the province that they lost all patience, and many who were inclined before that time to have voted for tne capital candidate because he had served creditably in the wars for the province, were provoked and abandoned him, for they were very proud of their judi ciary, as the judges of the province kept aloof from political gatherings and up to that time no campaign had been so prosti tuted as to reflect upon the judiciary of the province which was sans pere sans reproche. I need not tell you, children, what was the result, for you must have anticipated it. The people’s candidate was overwhelmingly elected and he had hardly taken his seat at : the capitol before the Morning Boaster and the Evening Bazoo, which had up to this time been charging each other with the cause of t ie defeat of their candidate, both came out the day after the inauguration and claimed the new governor as a citizen of the capital and one of their elect. But as the people of the province were quite satisfied with the re sult they could only smile at this new proof that the capital citv had away of claiming everything, and claiming it with confidence. moral. In sending out a boom care should be ex ercised that the volume of gas be not too great nor tJrffi&HK flight. - H appears Crisp is a “ biger man ” Reed on the floor 'QBbWwMBBI only and least while at all. CHATHAM’S DISGRACE. T This paper has on several occasions called attention to the inhuman treatment accorded the convicts on the county chain-gang, both a* to quarters, food and whipping, and ap pealed to the county commissioners to reme dy the condition ot the unfortunates whose crimes or poverty landed them in the striped brigade. Some of those in authority claimed the re ; ports were grossly exaggerated, but the pre sentments of the city court grand jury yes terday afternoon indorse every word publish ed by The'Daily Dispatch on this subject. "The labor,” says the jurors, " requires wholesome food in order that they may have sufficient strength to do it. No green vege tables are furnished the convicts; they get nothing but. dried P eas - * * • ‘‘The convicts and their beds are filthy, and there seems to be no regulations for en forcing cleanliness. If one-fourth of the convicts desired to wash themselves after the day's work it could not be done without tak ing up a good part of the night. The bed tick ?nd the contents, which was once rice ’ straw, are in a very filthy condition.” ♦ * ♦ “We incline to the belief,” say the grand jurors, “that better care is taken of the state con victs under the rules laid down by the state, ’ than our own convicts receive whose fenish ' ment is for misdemeanors, while those of the . ‘ state are punished for worse crimes in the ' calendar,” 1 In view-of these statements from the grand jurors our county commissioners can no longer ' shield themselves behind the claim that news -1 paper reports about the convict camps are ex ' aggerated. They must institute a reform, and see that the convicts are treated like human 1 beings. Under existing circumstances a term in the Siberian mines would be delightful in ! comparison with a term on Chatham county's 1 chain-gang. The institution, in its present 1 1 shape, is a disgrace to civilization, a blot upon our county and state.

Is there any reason why a member of con gress absent without leave should receive pay during his absence? Tom Reed seemed to think so, but Speaker Crisp was sustained in his position that it was a matter for the ser geant-at-arms of the House to look after and to inquire ot a member with reference to his absence in making up the pay roll. » The Atlanta Journal reproduced a back number agricultural article from the pen of Gen.
