Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1884-12-14

The Macon City Court bill which passed
the House Of Representatives Monday
last has been the occasion Of quite d sen
satlon, and what appears to be a mis-
understanding between a large number
Of the people Of Bib county, including
the City Council Of Macon and County
Commissioners On one side and Represen-
tstives Gustin, Harris and Bartlett On
the other. The bill, il seems, was adYer-
tised by title as required by law, and Was
supported By all three Of the Representa-
tiyes u the county. It appears, however,
that few u those interested in the matter
took the trouble 70 inform themselves
81 the provisions Of the bill. II
was reported in Macon that the bill con-
tanned some Objectionable features. and
on Monday last the Mayor aud the Chair
man Of the County Commissioners tele-
grspbed n Aessrs. Gustin. Harris and
Bartlett requesting that action On the bill
be delayed until il could be examined.
The Representatives decline 70 do this
On the ground that the bill had been duly
advertised and because il would be de-
ieated by delay. A good
deal Of surprise, if not excitement, was
Occasioned in Macon by the pushing Of
the bill U a passage under the cIrcum-
stances. IL is useless TO review the
charges and denominations and personal
features Of the affair. They were perhaps
uncalled for, and irritating On both sides.
The bill is now in the Senate where It
can BE- examined and amended
il necessary, without jeopardizing it by
delay, and all parties concerned can have
a chance 70 discuss IL and think over
what has been hastily said and done IN
der excitement or Misrepresentation. The
Macon people, who appear 70
be arrayed against the Rep
Tesentatiyes, are honest in their opinions,
and Messrs. Gustin, Harris and Bartlett
cannot be suspected Of any improper mo-
tiyes in pushing the bill through the
House while they had an opportunity 10
do so. The Representatives are good law
yers and men Of high character, and they
have made able and faithful Representa-
tiyes. The trouble is one that must soon
pass away, for Misunderstanding cannot
exist long between reasonable men. The
law in regard 10 advertising local bills
ought 10 be amended so that
those interested would be informed
Of the details Of the measures, but as
It is now, the people can get all the IN
formation they want by putting them
selves to a little trouble at the right
time. If the Macon authorities and
people had made the necessary inquiries
in time they would not have had the
misunderstanding with their Representa-
tives.
A meeting Of citizens was held Friday
night in Macon, and its action was con-
servatiye and digniied. Another meet
ing will be held tomorrow night in which
the Representatives will be heard from.

BOOK NOTICES.

TRUE, AND OTHER STORIES. By George Par
sons LathrOp. Funk & Wagn alls, 10 and y
Dey street, New York, publishers.
True" is a tale Of North Carolina life.
the scene being laid, for the most part,
near Pamlico Sound. 1t has the merit of
being thoroughly an American story,
though the basis for the plot is laid in the
separation Of two English lovers in the
early days Of American colonization, the
lady going with her father to the new
world, her lover being at the last moment
forced to remain in England, never again
TO rejOin his sweetheart. From this
separation and chance meeting, after 200
years, Of a descendant of the young Eng
lishman with representatives Of his
sweetheart's line, Mr.. Lathrop weaves a
tale Of uncommon interest, and of much
dramatic power. The other stories in the
volume, Maj: Barrington's Marriage"
bad Peppers" ''The Three Bridges"
and ''In Each Others Shoes" are good,
each in its own way, and afford a pleas
ant variety of excellent reading.
Ny LADY's CAsKET OF JEWELS FOR HER
ADORING. illustrated by Eleanor w. Tai
bot. Lee Shepard, publishers, Boston.
Nothing that mas been sent out the
present year, or perhaps any year, by the
book trade surpasses this work in its de-
sign and finish. The selections are fine
and appropriate, and the illustrations are
superb. 1t is difficult to describe the IL
Illustrations in a way that will do them
justice; they must be seen to be appfe-
ciated. They are done in colOrs. and are
IN the highest style of art. The book
would adoFn the table in any lady's bOur-

The bin which the committee, az

state Boards o. Health to look after Fed
eraI legislation. has presented 70 the Put
lie Health Committee d the House, shows
that TIE doctors have a Dretty strong con-
Victl0n that something ought 70 be done
70 keep cholera AMI other infectious and
CONTAGIOUS diseases cut u the country,
but that they Do not appear 70 have
very clear idea Of what they may reason-
ably expect fTcm Congress il aid Of their
health schemes.
There is no doubt very general feel
ing that il is not improbable that cholera
will reach cur shores within the next
twelve months, and the sentiment Of the

II is doubtful, however, whether either
Congress OF the country thinks that q
National Board Of Health, such as the
bill submitted TO the House Committee on
Public Health provides FOR, would Be Of
any great assistance in 4 Citing the
cboleraor any other dangerous disease.
The board would be large and, perhaps,
somewhat unwieldy. Il is not easy TO
zee how It could avoid interfering with
the Jurisdiction o. state boards Of health.
The present National Board Of Health at

much good Is, perhaps, an open question.
II became possessed with the idea that il
ought n exercise great deal more power,
and it attempted % gain il. A bill
70 enlarge its Jurisdiction and increase
its duties was the occasion Of a good deal
u discussion in Congress and by the
press. The opponents Of the board
finally triumphed and not only was the
additional jurisdiction asked for denied,
but the board lost much Of the impor-
lance IL already had by being refused an
appropriation necessary 70 carry On its
work. It lost its influence and sank into
comparative insignifcance.
In view u the treatment received by
the old National Board from Congress, It
is hardly probable that the friends Of the
proposed board have much 10 hope for.
The bill, doubtless, will be antagOnized
By the Marine Hospital Service, because
it aims n strip that service Of some Of its
influence and power. in the hands Of the
Public Health Committee, however, 1t
may be 50 changed that it VIII receive the
appreciation Of Congress. The feeling
that something ought 70 be done to meet
