The Atlanta Constitution and a few-indi
-viduals who-train with Henry Grady and
Tat Walsh are tuning-to work up proteG
-tion sentiment on the strength of the
-snubbing which the Democrats gave Walsh
.at the recent state convention. This is the
thinnest and flimsiest trick that the great
•daily has ever been concerned in. They
; are trying to make Pat Walsh a martyr,
and cast contempt upon the noble gentle¬
men who represented their party in the
The Democratic administration will in
.due time be enabled to reduce the surplus
and to restore to the .country the use of
.this immense sum now looked up in the
.treasury. (Reduction of taxation that will
^prevent the accumulation of so large a -sur¬
plus is also sure to come. It may be
delayed by the Republican obstructionists,
(but it will come in good time. The pros¬
pect for asuccessful application of blemo
.cratic principles in the management.of the
fiscal affairs of the government is fell of
-encouragement and should cheer the heart
,of ev ery true Democrat an the land.
Railroad building was so «nusually
active in this .country last year that it was
.thought that the present year would show
ja falling off. The figures for the first three
months of Jb8«8, however, show the mim
"iber of miles of new track laid to have been
56 miles greater than for the corresponding
period of 1-887. The number of miles laid
.of new road was 109€, most of whicn, of
course, was in the south, the summer and
early fall .being the qnly time when the
north and west can day track. Georgia
leads the list with 113 miles, Texas comes
.second with 112, Kentucky follows with
72, Louisiana <60. Tennessee 50. Alabama
48, North (Carolina 19, South Carolina and
Florida 15 each, West Virginia 10 .and
'Virginia 6.
Up in the mountains an Maine there is
A railroad forty miles long—whose tracks
{ire laid about a foot apart. Although the
coaches are six feet wide, not an accident
lias ever occurred on the line, and the road
serves alt purposes that could he accom¬
plished by a broad guage railway. The
writer has for yeans ciotended that all
branch roads or feedeis should be built in
size according to the amount of business to
be conducted, aud this instance is one more
proof that our piea is good, If one should
have to carry fifty or -a hundred pounds of
freight ten miles each day, he would not
use four mules and a cumbersome vehicle.
That would be silly. On this .same plan
ive contend that blanch roads should be

tin oureditorialilast we4k^en accormt«of
.personal ifriendsbfp and sympathy ‘for
Hon. Pat Walsh, we deprecated the refusal
of the late:State.conventiontto send him to
‘■St. Louis. ‘Our-superabundant generosity
>is our only excuse for commgvto his defense.
He is our personal friend, a brother editor,
and. for the itime our -sentiment got the
i better of us.
We do not see that the convention, or
'the great majority of the party, under
whose instructions the convention acted,
owes the protection clement any explana¬
tion for its refusing to choose a delegation
who was notiin harmouy with them. It
is enough to say, that they refused for
reasons good to them, and on dhis the
Madisouian plants itself deliberately and
firmly
The conduct oi the protectionists, since
the convention, -has been so unbecoming,
notito say impudent, that we feel called
upon to withdraw our sympathy, feeling
that it is.undeserved because misused.
We are squarely for tariff reform,
because we believe the interests of the
people of this section demand it; we
endorse President: Cleveland fully on his
tariff .views; we sustain Senator Colquitt,
because, by his firm stand on this ques¬
tion, he has made ibis re-election indispen¬
sable.; .and we are against all papers and
parties iwho are endeavoring to hamper
either. “.Injustice to Pat Walsh" is only
another name for protection, and when
this issue is presented to the democracy of
Georgia they will attend to it in the same
way that they fixed the delegates to the
late State convention. The party has
declared for tariff reform and “will fight
it out qu that line if it takes all
summer.”— Madisonian.
(In speakiqg of the surplus an exchange
says that there is now in the Federal treas¬
ury nearly 5455,000,000. This immense
sum has been collected largely de itaxes on
the necessaries of life and on raw material
used by American manufactories. If these
$155,000,000 .bad remained in the pockets
of the people dfum which they have been
needlessly and wantonly taken business
would be in a much more active and pros¬
perous conditiou than that which exists at
present; the workingman would have
many dollars which he lacks and the capi¬
talist would (have more money to extend
his operations.

Today the citizens of our neighbor village
.will celebrate the advent of the Atlanta &
Flantda railroad. Preparations on .a large
scale have been made, and several distin¬
guished guests invited. Governor Gordon,
Hon, J. M. Smith, Senator Norwood, Hon.'
N. J. Hammond and Judge Trippe have
b een asked to be present
As the village of Cuiloden is in sight of
the .Crawford county line, and as many of
the best citizens of the place were raised in
old Crawford, it is not strange that many
of our people feel interested and have
assisted "largely in getting it up. Quite a
number of our citizens will attend.
Cuiloden is noted for its refined and cul¬
tured society, its genial and hospitable
citizeris ; but there was one obstacle which
kept back its growth ;— Cuiloden had no
shipping advantages, and the place com¬
pelled to remain a quiet little hamlet.
But cow she is preparing to blossom into
a busy little trading point. Cuiloden lacks
not for enterprising spirits, and we bespeak
for .that town progress in all business
interests.
A -negro was arrested at Vienna last
week who had a novel way of collecting
debts. Another negro owed him $4.80
and would not pay him. Therefore the
creditor went to his debtor’s house while
the latter was away and took a shotgun,
rwo pairs of pants would and a vest, which he
said he thought about pay the debt,
and absconded with them He has been
informed that it is a very handy way of
doing the thing, but not exactly legal.
