The san Francisco Chronicle says and
proves that the Thurman Edmunds law,
which was intended to force the Pacific
roads to make a sinking fund with which
to pay of their debts to the people of the
United States, is a dead law. 1t says:
The law was designed TO reduce the
debt, so that at the maturity Of the bonds
the principal and interest would not much
exceed the sinking fund, but it is seen
that under it the debt has increased at the
steady rate of 81, S97 900 a year. The bonds
will not mature for fourteen years. In
these fourteen years the debt will have in
creased by SGT, Dos, 900. The total debt will
then stand as follows:

The officers ofthe revenue cutters Of the
marine service, in the ten years beginning
with 1861 and ending with 1870, examined
H., 9sS vessels, and during the ten years
ending in 1881, boarded and examined 2S3.-
S9S vessels. This increase of work was
not accompanied by corresponding in
crease ofexpense to the government, since
the revenue service in 1868 cost $, 49,
GGl 81, and for the year ending June 80,
1852, only cost $s46, 423 "a. During the
last six years the revenue cutters render
ed assistance to 67S imperiled vessels, with
carg0es valued at SIG, Isl ,542 80, and saved
The lives Of 642 human beings. Admiral
Billy Chandler thinks the work Of the
revenue marine would be dsne better
under his supervision, but the country
thus far las failed 70 agree with him.

Ii is said that before the vote was taken
on the conference report on the tariff bill
there was rather a lively spat between
Abram ;. Hewitt and Mr.. Randall in one
Of the Democratic cloak rooms. A per-
son who said he heard part of the COLO
guy reports that Mr.. Randall declared
that EATER fighting for the Democratic
party in the House for twenty years he
did not propose to be dictated to and tu-
tOred by a man who has been there only
One-fOurth Of that time;' and that Mr..
Hewitt retOrted that, as Speaker Of the
House, Mr.. Randall had defeated tariff
revision by packing the Ways and Means
COmmittee''-so something he would never
do again. for he would ''meet his Water
loo in the next Democratic caucus to
nominate a candidate for Speaker"

He died as he would probably have
chosen had he been permitted to choose
his time-at the head Ofhis people, in full
fillment of a great mandate. The day Of
his vital value to his State and his cOun-
try had, happily, long since passed; but
none the less his disappearance from the
political activities of Georgia will be a
loss to be sensibly felt for long time to
come. Possessing none of the attractions
of Senator Hill, as man or orator, Mr.. Ste
phens was still man widely recognized
as a safe and necessary factor in the con-
ciliatOry and rehabilitatory processes
which Georgia perhaps, more than any
other Southern commonwealth, has seti

Columbus inquirer Sun.
Were his many noble deeds and COM
mendable virtues to be recorded, it would
fill volumes. His heart was with his
country, and his mind and hands were
vigorous and industrious in promoting
what he deemed its best interests. He
lived not to himself but for others. Truly
a great man has fallen, and with uncOv-
cred heads the people of Georgia pour out
their tears as they gaze upon the body
which lies in state at the capitOl-sO cold
and now forever silent.

The death of Alexander H. Stephens re-
moves one of the leading figures of the
COnfederacy. Perhaps no civilian who in
the autumn of 1860 and the early months
of 1861 cast his vote for secession was in
tellectually superior to Mr.. Stephens.
In private life Mr.. Stephens bore an envi-
able reputation, while i'll public he was
the most important man sent by the South
to Congress since Calhoun.
Washington Post
The old Georgia COmmoner was rugged
ly honest, and possessed the qualities
that win and retain friendship. Consid-
ering how frail a tenement his soul was
lodged in, and how slight was his appar-
ent hold on life, his career is one of the
strangest in our annals.
Washington ID. CO. Republicans.
He inherited the Gaelic taste for meta
physics and music, and led remarkably
consistent life as a Christian. He was an

death is national loss.
PhiLGdelphia Times.
No man in Georgia would be so sim
cerely lamented as Alexander II. Ste
phens, and the whole country will cherish
his memory with the prOfoundest respect.

Mcrchants' License.

Attorney General Lea has sent the
following letter to Comptroller Pickard
as to the application Of the law to au-
thorizc county court clerks to issue H.
censc quarterly. AS will be seen from
the letter, the Attorney General decides
merchants licenses are not included un-
der the late act of the Legislature:
NuShrile, Tnn., March 26, 1881
Hon. +. p. Pickard, Comptroller
Dear Sir; The law which requires mer-
chants to give bond and return at the
end Of the year the largest amount of
stock on hand during the year, is not
repealed by the act passed March 3,
1888, entitled an act to authorize clerks
Of county courts to issue license for the
exercise Of any privilege in this State,
by the quarter as well as by the year
The amount of license to be paid by the
cannot he definitely ascertain
ed until his return to the clerks at the
end OF the year. The act does not APP
ply to mcrchants--it onl y applies to the
exercise of II privilege, the amount of
which is fixed and determined by law.
Respectfully,
b. j. LEA,
Attorney.Gen'l.
In pursuance of the above opinion
the Comptroller addressed the follow.
ing letter of instructions to county court
clerks:

Life Insurance Companies


From the American Register]
The press of the country has never
discussed the life insurance problem
The life companies were products of
vigorous advertising. The press was
thus suborned or silenced but ncwspa.

not wiser if people would invest proceeds
of toll in farms and homes, rather than
in life assurance; and especially are

And yet lotteries are interdicted, and

cent and deluded victims. Legislation
shuts the door in the face of lotteries,
and protects the people from their
wrongs. and yet permits these greater
outrages and holder robbers to carry off
the hard earnings Of the poor and
needy. Let our legislators take hold of
these soullcss corporations and drive
them from the State. The money the
South has poured into their Unsuitable
maws since the war would have stocked
and run every waste plantation within
her broad domain. The pltiful sum
which the State derives from them is no
equivalent of the incalculable wrongs
they inaict. Drive them out and pro.
tect the people. The whole system up.
on which they operate is delusion and
n fraud.
