poor unfortunate requests me to tell
you that he had long been sufferer
with terrible blood taint, and securing
little if any relief from other treatment,

Ii will be remembered that the defense
in the star route cases have held among
other things that the Department Of JUS
tice. through its agents, Fall and Nelson
who certainly We're connected with the
department. attempted to bride Juror
Brown (cOlOred). In another criminal
trial OF last spring, known as the ''bancO
case" Juror Brown was equally con-
WINGED of the innocence of the accused,
and thereby secured disa agreement against
Il majority of the jury. The grand jury
of the district has now indicted the con-
scientiOus juror for selling his suffrage
in the bancO case for the somewhat mea-
gre sum of eight dollars, Nelson being in
dicted for giving him the money, which,
it is claimed, Fall brought on from New
York parties. Here are three of Colonel
IngersOlrs atlantis.

Colonel Stewart has sent home to Eng
land a detailed account of the False
Prophet of the Soudan, which completely
knocks on the head the pretensions that
he was mulattO barber, hailing from the
western part of Pennsylvania. Accord
ing to Col. Stewart he is an illiterate Dom
gOlian, who can barely re:ad.,.s.2,.GG write.
but who thoroughly studied the
MohammeGsan religion. He is head of an
order <of Dervishes and displays great
executive ability in uniting and govern
ing the quarrelsome tribes Of the SOudan.
His following, according to Col. Stewards
estimate, now reaches 33S, 900 tribesmen,
and the loss of life consequent upon the
instruction amounted TO about 1900
Egyptians and $4,000 rebels. 1t is prOba-
bic these numbers are greatly eXagger-
ated.

No Middle Ground.


1t is certainly far better that the DEM
Ocratic party as it now stands should be
split-and split across the middle, if need
be-by the tariff issue, for want of a
common adhesion among its members to
the principle of anti-protection, than
that 1t should be held together only by
the cement of a common greed of power
and patronage. The NeleS heartily con-
ours with the New York World that if
Democracy means anything more than
"a dislike of seeing Republicans in
office" it means the maintenance of
principles, one of which is the right of
every man freely to labor and freely to
exchange the products of his labor for
the objects of his desire, and that if those
who now call themselves Democrats can
not unite upon this principle in opposi-
ton to the whole system of protection, it
is time they should separate and array
themselves for or against protection UNI

Tic Georgia RAILROAD Case.

The main issue i'm the case OF the
Georgia Railroad versus the Raliroau
Commission, which arose out OF an aI-
plication last spring by the Georgia ian
road and Banking Company ana imam
NJ. Wadley, lessee, for an injunction 10
restrain the commissioners from enforcing
certain rates of freight as against the
Georgia Railroad, was a purely constitu-
tional one. growing out Of the terms Of the
charter of the Georgia Railroad.
Counsel for the company held That, as
its charter permitted a charge Of not more
than nifty cents per hundred pounds per
hundred miles and i've cents per mile pas
senger tariff. the Commission, although
authorized by the Legislature, had no
right 10 enforce lower rates for the ser
vices of the company. ON trial before
Judge Simmons, at Macon, the applea-
ton for an Injunction was refused, and on
appe.Ti 10 the Supreme Court that body,
by practically unanimous decision on
Tuesday affirmed the judgment OF the
court below.
Our views upon the wisdom OF justice
OF employing the services Of a Railroad
Commission. clothed with the powers OF
the body that now virtually controls
the railroads Of Georgia, have been so
plainly aud so repeatedly expressed, that
/ il is needless to advert to the subject
again.
/ The case Just decided, however, present
ed so square an issue as to the inviOla-
bility ofcOntracts that it is difficult, while
conceding the honesty and sincerity OF
the honorable court, to see how the recon
| cilability OF the acts creating the Commits
sion and the vested rights of the Georgia
Railroad Company could be so readily de-
/ termined. The case will, doubt
less, 20 to the Supreme Court of the
| United States for final adjudication
Whether the highest tribunal of the land
will agree with the Georgia courts as &c
the scope of the powers Of the Commits
| sion, remains to be seen, but Its final judg'
ment will be needed to determine the
/ question.
should that judgment be adverse tc
the appellant, there will be nothing left
but to accept the legality of the Commits
| sion and. its extraordinary powers, but
I until such Judgment is rendered, it is the
| right Of those who doubt the usefulness
of the Commission and the wisdom Of its
creation to trust to the calm reason of the
court Of final appeal for the justification
| or resolution Of such doubts.

The New York Court of Appeals has
given an interesting decision about the
right OF children TO play on the public
sidewalks. a little girl was jumping
rope, and in moving backward she fell
into an open area in the sidewalk. DAM
ages for her injuries were sought by suit
against the owner Of the property, and OBJ
tanned. On appeal, the verdict was sus-
tanned, and the owner must pay. The de-
PENDANT submitted that the child was
guilty Of contributOry negligence, and
also that playing on the sidewalk was not
a legitimate use Of it. The court decided
that one who passes along a sidewalk has
4 right to presume that it is safe, and
likewise that ''it is not unlawful. wrong
or negligent for children, on the sidewalk,
to play, The latter impression has pre-
vailed for many generations.
