The state Road Lease.

II is generally known that towards the
close of the session of the General As
sembIv of 81. and in the hurry of the I'M
pendinp adjournment, a resolution was
Dassed instructing the Governor in case
of certain events to institute proceedings
TO annul the lease of the Western and
Atlantic. or State Railroad. At the short
session of the present Legislature. reso-
luton was passed requiring the Governor
10 suspend all legal proceedings until the
approaching adjourned session. 1t Is TO De
hoDed that this resolution will be prompt
" acted upon as soon as the General AS
semblv convenes, and an end put to this
unnecessary litigation. To carry thls
matter further would involve great eX-
pense to the State, as the able Attorney
General will. doubtless, call to his aid the
best. which generally means the most eX-
pensive legal talent in the State.
There is scarcely possibility that the
State could succeed in breaking the lease.
1t has been ratified by the Legislature af-
ter full and exhaustive investigation,
and the State is in honor bound to stand
by its agreement. Moreover the state mas
not the moral right to annoy its citizens
and cause them to incur expense IN de-
Tending their established rights. II the
suit could possibly end in the setting aside
of the lease. it would be unfortunate Tor
the State. The railroad would be again
thrown into politics, and instead of turn
ing in a revenue of $4,000 per month,
about that much additional would have
to be wrung from the aXpayers to satisfy
the army of relatives and friends of the
politicians of the State who would set
tie upon the road. The old story, so famil-
lar in the history Of the State, would be
repeated. The masses are satisfied with
the present arrangement.
The Western and Atlantic is in the
hands of skillfuI managers, and is on good
terms with the entire railroad system.
With the vigorous competition of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Rail-
road, so kindly fOstered by the General
Assembly, it is very doubtful whether the
State Railroad could make dividends OF
pay rent in new hands. Eleven and a
half years of the lease have expired, and
only eight and a half remain. The rental
has been paid promptly up to date. Be-
| sides this hundreds of thousands of dollars
| have been spent in re-railing the road,
building new bridges, new depOts, pur-
| chasing new engines and an immense
equipment. Surely the State has ample
security for the future.
We think that the majority of the people
of the State will agree with us that il
is unwise, if not undignified, in the SOW
ereign power to disturb an arrangement
made years ago and which has worked
so well. We trust that the Legislature
will act at once on this subject and de-
eide to leave well enough alone. 1t will
be a waste of time and money to set on
| foot any further investigation.

Truck Farm Produce on our ocean
Sfna m : hinS

In a recent article we published an es-
innate of the truck farm produce forward
ed bv the Savannah, Florida and Western
Railway. up to the last of May of the
present year, and we now present,
through the courtesy of Gen. G, NJ. Sorrel,
General Agent, an accurate statement OF
shipments North from this point, via
Ocean Steamship Company, to the Both OF
June. The statement is accompanied, 1t
will be seen, by the shipments through
the Ocean Steamship Company during
the same period last year, enabling the
reader to compare the transactions Of the
company in this line during the years 1887
and 1888. The figures show slight fall
ing off from last years shipments of the
local produce, but remarkable gain OF
more than three fold in the through
freights, affording additional evidence OF
the great impetus given to truck farming
in the interior. Large as these figures,
are, however, they do not even approx
mate the amount of business IN this line
transacted through this city, the Southern
Express Company, as before stated, trans
porting by far the largest proportion OF
the northward bound produce of the truck
farms.

Anent the tariff Editor WattersOn re-
marks: SIN the United States we have
free trade between ourselves, and no one
is fool enough to suggest that we aban-
don It. Our foreign commerce is ham,
pered BY the restrictions of the tariff. The
nresent law is neither just nor consistent.
What the people have to determine is,
whether it shall be revised according to
the ideas which are traditional in the
Democratic party, or whether the work
shall be intrusted to the Republicans, who
believe in protection, in restriction, and
who would attempt to perpetuate the
system at any cost. Therefore, we say at
this time it is matter oflittle importance
how each man expresses his opinion con-
corning the subject. Democrats are I'll
going in one direction: how far they viii
20 together only time can decide"

Referring to Mr.. Carl Schurz's severe
criticism upon the star route verdict, Mr..
Hugh Hastings says that ''if Mr.. Schurz
went before a jury to have Mr.. George
Julian's charges tried, it is quite safe to
say that a verdict of mot guilty would
not be rendered. If we assume for the
moment that the charges against Brady
and Dorsey are true. the government lost
S2,OOO,OOO. The charges against Mr..
Schurz, which are backed by the strongest
and the clearest evidence, show that by
his acts the country lost scores of mil
lions" How well these Republicans I'M
derstand each other!

The Cincinnati Enquirer (Dem). says
of the Scott law decision: ''FrOm pres
ent means Of information it appears that
public opinion is not uniform on either
side of the line dividing the political par
ties. 1t will be observed, though, that
sturdy Republicans who do the hard hit
ting for their side in a campaign-the
men who are Jealous in their PARTISAN
ship, either from dOctrinal reasons or
from hope of future personal reward-are
in line with the court, and manifest salts
faction at the decision. There can be no
doubt as to the course the Republican
leaders intend to pursue on the question
of taxing the liquor traffic. The law will,
of course, be acquiesced in now by all
concerned. Some will comply only
through grim necessity, but we feel that
a majority will be moved in the matter by
the spirit which governs the law abiding
citizen. There will be much discussion
as to the merits of the law, and the effec
of the decision on the politics of the year
can be better estimated a few days or
weeks hence"

There are few Americans, North or South,
who do not cherish a secret or acknowl-
edge an Open admiration for the character
if not the convictions of the late Robert E.
Lee. He was the HavelOck of the South,
a brave soldier and a Christian gentle
man. The scene yesterday at the unveil-
ing of his statue in the now historical but
usually peaceful town of Lexington, Va,
was impressive in the extreme. Lee was
the idol of the South, and the handsome
mausOleum, with its beautiful statue, will
form a shrine around which will gather
coming generations. The ceremonies were
of an impressive and dignified character,

The Political Outlook.

Whether or not a third party may arise
10y 1884 sufficiently strong to render nuga-
tory the results of the Presidential cleo
ton and thus necessitate a choice by the
Democratic majority in the House of
Representatives, the ''grand old party"
recognizes such a possibility, and is re-
solved to strain every nerve to prevent
its occurrence. Republican statesmen
and organs of prominence make no
secret of the fact that the Democrats
have all the advantages, and that the
''grand old party to succeed in 1884,
must work as it has never worked before.
The revolt against the Republican bosses
in New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indi-
ana, Michigan and Wisconsin last fall
convinced the party that their old
leaders must be discarded, or else
must become more subdued. Ar
thurs regime has been marked by moth
ing that could promise to work to the adj
vantage of the ''grand old party" and
criticism of his administration at the
hands OF the Republican organs is even
harsher than that OfDemOcratic journals.
1t is a bitter commentary that the man
who carried the pivotal States in the
memorable Garfield-Hancock race has
only recently escaped a felOn's doom,
and his escape meets with cOndign de-
nunciation by the most Stalwart journals.
Umdeniable cases of corruption have
cropped out in several other departments
of the government. Could party's fail
ure be more conclusively presented!
Arthur's administration has afforded
the stalwarts no reason for hope, no
ground for enthusiasm. The Democrats
have, on the contrary, increased their
vantage in New York and Pennsylvania.
Governors Cleveland and PattisOn have
inaugurated notable reforms in their
States.
Buffers election in Massachusetts has
not hurt the Democracy, and he stands
fair chance for reelection. The Republic
cans boast that they will carry Ohio, but
the fact that they must do so or give up
the struggle of 1884 deprives their conf
dance of much of the value that it other
wise would possess. Malone is supreme
in the party's councils in Nir-
ginia. but he is costly in
ycstment that does not take we'll else
where, and whatever he may gain in the
Old Dominion will be offset with losses to
the party outside of the limits of Yir-
ginia Altogether, the ''grand old par
ty'sr prospects anywhere are anything
but cheerful, for Iowa, the erstwhile Re
publican Gibraltar, is anything but GER
tam.
