A FAMOUS VICTORY

Tuesday was a great day for Philadelphia
and also for the reform movement in politics
which is gaining strength in other places be-
sides Philadelphia. 1t was very rainy day.
but that did not make any difference to the
voters who had determined to strike an effec-
tive blow at the ring which has so long ruled
and plundered the city.
The campaign has been vigorous one and
an extraordinary interest has been felt in IL
wholly at a single point-the control of mu,
nicipal affairs by a ring represented by the
Gas Trust-and was differed on the reform
side by the Citizens Committee of One Hun
bred, which made thorough and effective
canvass of the voters and did everything in
its power to bring them out. Its efforts
were rewarded by large vote, and the signal
defeat of the ring, all of whose important
candidates, except the notorious Squire Nc
Mullin, were beaten. The candidates put
forward by the Committee of One Hundred
were apparently selected without much re-
gard to their politics. Many of them were
Democrats. The election was unusually or
derby and the returns came in early after the
polls closed this being the result, according
to the remark of a Committee of One Hun
dred man, of 1.-The gang not waiting to cook
things up, tear off stickers and fix the tally
sheets to suit the man that had the most
cash."
Naturally there is much joy in Philadelphia
over this complete and significant victory.
The Philadelphia North american congratu-
lates its readers upon the evidence that a
large majority of the voters of the city are
determined that the municipal administration
shall be lifted out of the rut of machine poll
tics It also says: "They have risen in their
might, to quote the orator of the stump, and
the consequence has been such a puri-
fcation of the Council chamber as
must have a highly beneficial influence
upon the public affairs of the community.
Injustice has in some instances been done
Republican nominees with a respectable
record behind them, having failed to receive
the endorsement of the committee, have been
rejected to make room for men no better
than themselves. This is to be regretted.
the voters, who have just shewn themselves
a power, have not stopped to pick and
choose. They have hewn to the line, and,
though as a consequence individuals may
have been wronged, the public is gamer.
There are many who will regard yesterdays
work as deathblow to the Republican
ganization. 1t is nothing of the kind. The
victory has been won by the votes of men
who are as good Republicans now as ever
they were, and who will support their party
whenever it commands their confidence"
Such piece of work as that done by the
good citizens of Philadelphia on Tuesday is
very encouraging to those who are hoping
and working for the defeat of political rings
elsewhere. It shows what the people can do

General Gordon's q uiekIy Gained Riches

From the Atlanta (Gs-l Constitutional
So much has been Published about the late
transactions of General Gordon and his
brothers and Governor Co1qui.t in the rail-
road business that we might as well pat the
public straight on the matter. We write
from the words of one who knows: 1t VIII
be remembered that we stated some time ago
that these gentlemen had cleared 81 200. 600
by their transactions of less than year. Last
Saturday Messrs. Walter S. Gordon and Eu-
gene c. Gordon sold block OF a quarter Of
million of their stock in the Richmond and
Danville Extension company at l65, and re-
allied, in actual cash, trife over S10o, 900
each. Governor Colquitt and General Cor
don have not sold any of their stock, and it
has advanced to $50 since Messrs. w 5. and
E. G. Gordon sold These latter gentle
men still have an interest in the Rich
mond and Danvills Extension. but
have invested largely outside. They bought,
last month, the Stanbury cotton factory at
Carrolton, Miss, which was built and
stocked at cost Of $21o, 200. Il is under
stood that they bought it at much less than
these figures for cash. The Gordons and
Gov Colquitt still hold theiT stock in the
Belmont coal mine. 1t is said that~Gsn.
Gordon could sell his-seeuTities in the Rick-
mond and Danville Extension company at
present figures for considerably over quar-
ter of O million cash profit. He and his
friends are interested in another railroad
projected from some point in Illinois to No
bile, Ala They are investing heavily in
southern enterprises Besides those noted,
Gov. Colquitt and other gentlemen have or
ganized company for the manufacture of
commercial fertilizers. 1t viii probably have
headquarters at Nashville, Tenn. We are
sure all Georgians will be gratifed to know
that these gentlemen have already realized in
actual profits enough to relieve them of ev-
cry embarrassment and make them more
than independent for.the rest of their lives
yet untouched.

The disposition shown by some members
of the United States Senate to treat Indians
fairly does not please all the Senators. When
Senator Dawes day or two ago presented
petition with hundred thousand names
signed to it in favor of keeping the treaties
made with the Indian tribes in good faith,
the education of the Indians and giving them
clear titles to land in severalty, the petition
was at once attacked by Senator Plumb of
Kansas manifestation of siekly sentiment
tality. One of the Washington correspond
ents writes that. it is getting SO that anyone
who in the Senate ventures to say anything
favorable to treating the Indians as if they
were persons having any natural rights or
entitled to have the protection of the law, to
be educated and brought within the pale of
citizenship, may expect to be assailed by the
representatives of the frontier States, many
of whom, like Mr.. Plumb, do not hesitate to
state their belief that the destiny. of the In
dian race is determination, IN very much the
same temper as northern men who yentured,
thirty years ago, to express the opinion that
the negroes held in slavery were human be-
ings having rights which the law ought to re-
gard, were assailed. Then all who differed
from the views of the upholders of the insti-
tuition of slavery were contemptuously brand
ed 'sickIy sentimentalists." The only Prac-
teal men were those who believed slavery
was the necessary condition of the colored
race. Now a certain class of Senators and
representatives hold that the only practical
men are those who think the necessary con-
dition of the Indian race is ignorance, bar
barism and homelessness

The Ontario Legislature is considering a

fathers the bill, is man of decided Chris
