A Good Time to ".Turn Over a New
Leaf"
Albany Neirs and Advertiser


Now that a partial change has been
made in the Georgia Railroad Commits
sion by the retirement of Col. Barnett
and the appointment of Col. l.. n. Tram
nell as his successor, would it not be a
good time for the board to ''turn over a
new leaf" and see if they cannot bring
about better understanding and more
amicable state of feeling between the
railroads and the people of the State?
Strange as it may appear to some, the
breach between the people and the rail
roads, which led to the establishment of
the Commission, has been widening ever
since the latter assumed the charge of
its functions. During the session of the
Legislature this summer, two of the
Commissioners seemed to forget that
they were official arbitrator between the
railroads and the people, and constituted
themselves the defendants and appeared
as their own attorneys, before the Rail
road Committee of the General Assem-
bly,, whenever the latter granted hear
ing to the railroads or had any subject
affecting the railroads or the Commission
under consideration.
Thus these Commissioners, by meet
the railroads in every appeal that they
made to the Legislature, placed them
selves in the attitude of partisans.
Whatever might have been their mo-
tives, their conduct was such as to make
the railroad men fear them and regard
them as their enemies instead of arbitra-
tors or an impartial tribunal between the
interests of the railroads and those of the
common people.
All this was a mistake Not only was
it mistake as a matter of policy, but
it was in bad taste upon the part of
the Commissioners. 1t had bad effect
upon the railroad men, upon the one
hand, and upon the people on the other.
a better time than the present will never
be presented for the Commissioners to
change their policy when under the cross
fires of the railroads and the people, and
to make their resolves to administer JUS
tice in future even without the appear
ance of Partially.
There is no reason why the people and
the railroads of Georgia should not be
on the very best of terms, and why the
railroads. as well as the common peo-
pie, should not look to the Commission
with confidence for their rights The
railroads have done great deal for the
development of Georgia during the past
few years, and give promise, if not op-
pressed by unwise and prohibitOry law,
to accomplish much more in the same
direction, and in this great work their
interests are identified with those of the
people.

TIE TREASURY PORTFOLIO.-AN New
York dispatch says: 1.-THE President
rendered the Treasury portfolio first to
Senator Conkling, who declined it and
refused to withdraw his declination.
Chief Justice Folger was next consulted,
but lie decided to remain upon the bench,
where he has thirteen years left to serve
Tuesday it was rendered to Ex-Governor
E. d. Morgan, who will accept it if he
finds he can divest himself of his i'm
porting business, which makes him IN
eligible, he being one of the largest i'm
pOrters of tea and coffee in the country.
His business is conducted by firm of
which he is the controlling member, and
he proposes to put the firm into liquids-
ton and wind up its business. 1t was
held by Senator Edmunds, when Presi-
dent Grant appointed A. 7. Stewart Sec
rotary Of the Treasury, that he could not
then divest himself of his interest to re-
move the neligibility, but the interests
of Ex-Governor Morgan are not so great
as those of Stewart were"

The oldest brother of the late Presi.
dent Garfield lives away up in the north.
east corner of Ottawa county, Michigan.
He is poor farmer, so poor that when
his brother was shot he could not raise
the money to go to Washington to see
him. He is fifty-nine years old and his
name is Thomas. eWhen Mrs. Garfield,
his mother, was left widow with James,
a baby of eighteen months, Thomas used
to chop wood at two bits a cord, and
with his small earnings buy meal for the
family. He told reporter of the Chica-
90 Inter Ocean that he had to go two
miles and half for the meal and then
carry it home on his back. He always
believed in the future of his brother and
that James had all the brains Of the
family.

DEMOCRAT OF THE OLD SCHOOL.

Baron Won SchlOezer, the German Am
bassador, who arrived on Thursday in
the ship Herder, with the Won Steuben
representatives to the Yorktown celebra
ton, is the bearer of autograph letters
from the Emperor William and Bismarck,
addressed to Mrs. Garfield and Secretary
Blaine, conveying expressions of theiI
sorrow in President Garfeld's death and
their sympathy with the afflicted family
and nation. 1t is very unusuGi for such
letters to be sent by a special messenger,
and this course was especially chosen to
indicate the affectionate feeling enter
tanned by the German Emperor and his
counsellor for the American people.

ing up the question of marriages, espe-

minister's fee, $500; sexton $50; dresses

tive, the young men had better take

get married-'Don't."

SENATOR BECK IN THE IMPROVEMENT
OF THE WATER WAYs.-Senator Beck,
of Kentucky, in a letter notifying the
Executive Committee that his Senatorial
duties will prevent him attending the
Mississippi River Convention, to be held
at st. Louis, says: Il regard the i'm
provement of the Mississippi river from
st. Paul to the mouth, and of the great
tributaries of your great river as one OF
the most important questions now be
fore the country. Competing highways
will alone make cheap transportation pos
slble, and free water ways make railroad
combinations very difficult. l hope tc
be able to be heard on these questions
here next winter, as l cannot be with

A number of over prudish young
ladies in New York recently complained
that the policemen squeezed their arms
when assisting them across the crowded
streets. So now that it is against the
law for an officer to touch them in any
way, they have to scurry through car
riages and wagons the best way they
can, while the officer simply walks by
their side.

A package of bonds was recently re-
ceived at the Treasury from Chicago for
redemption, from which every number
had been cut. The Treasury officers
were puzzled to know what kind of a
trick had been attempted. The explana-
ton came Thursday. The owner of the
bonds was in New York and wrote to
his wife in Chicago, asking her to send
him the numbers of his bonds and send
the bonds themselves to the Treasury.
She complied literally by cutting out the
numbers from both bonds and coupons.
