THE WEEKLY NEWS FOR AID
VERTISERS.

The attention Of advertisers is called 10 the
advantages offered to them in the SAVANNAH
WEEKLY NEWS. This we'll known paper con
sists OF y pages, containing 81 columns Of
printed matter, made up from the cream OF
the telegraphie and general news Of the daily
issues, and large amount Of Original matter.
1t also contains a carefully edited agricultu
TAI and farm department, and a weekly mar
ket report-especially adapted to its conshtu-
ency.
It is the favoritc business and family paper
OF the farmers, merchants and mechanics of
Southern and Eastern Georgia, and Of Florida.
The WEEKLY NEWS is carefully read in thou
sands OF homes, stores and workshops, and then
il passes from hand TO hand until it Is read
BY an entire nelghborhood. The character OF
he WEEKLY NEWS, and that Of the people
who read 1t. makes 1t a valuable medium in
which TO advertise. 1t reaches to a greater
extent than any other paper published in its
section the intelligent and thoughtful people
ofthe Southeast; people who have many wants
to satisfy, and The means with which to sup
DIV them. The merchants Of Savannah and
elsewhere will find no better paying invest
ment than an advertisement in the WEEKLY
NEWS. Estimates for advertising given on
application at the Counting Room.

The House to-day, doubtless, VIII re-
sumo consideration Of the bill to modify
the Railroad Commission law. The de-
bate, which on last Friday began TO eA-
cite a good deal Of feeling between the ad-
vOcates and opponents OF the measure
may continue several days. There Is a
possibility, however, that IL may be
brought to an end quite suddenly by some
arran cement that will give the bill good
many more votes than it needs to secure
its passage.
WHAT'S known as the Jenkins amend
ment, for instance, may be found to be
acceptable TO a much larger number of
the members who are opposed to the bill
as it came from the Senate than IL is now
known to be, and if the friends Of the bill
are still favorable to it, the bill, with this
amendment, may be passed without much
delay.
1t is probable that there are few mem
bers who would like to put themselves on
record, as they call 1t, against the bill,
butit they do not get chance TO follow
in the footsteps Of DR.. Felton, in his at
tempt to excite feeling Of hostility 10
the railroads, the time will come proba-
bly, when they will be glad that they were
deprived Of the chance.
Those who are opposed TO the bill, be-
cause they do not think the commission
has too much power ought to have no Sc
riOus objection to the jenkins amendment.
Ii doesn't put the railroads in much, II
any, better position, so far as their rela-
tions to the commission are concerned,
than they occupy now.
1t is true that it gives them the right TO
make their own rates, but the commission
has the power to change the rates on com
plant, and there is no appeal from its de-
cisioD. Under this amendment the COM
mission will have about as absolute con
disposed can do the railroads about as
much damage.
lfreports are true, the commission is very
much embittered against the railroads
by reason Of the attacks that have been
upon it during the discussion of the bill
TO take from it some of its power. 1t Is,
therefore, hardly qualified to exercise the
remarkable powers that TINS jenkins
amendment leaves il. 1t is almost i'm
possible for men, smarting under feel
ing that they have been criticised harsh
ly, to treat with absolute impartiality
those they hold responsible for this critl-
csm. However fair the commission may
be disposed to be, therefore, It will be
rather remarkable if it succeeds in being
fair.
There ought to be, as the bill now pro-
yides, the right to appeal from the com
mission to the courts, and if the right is
not granted by this Legislature, the time
will come soon when 1t Will be granted,
il not because 1t is IN accordance with the
demands Of Justice, at least because it is
required by the best interests Of the State.

Probably one OF the greatest disappoini-
mcnts suffered by TIE projectors OF the new
railways IN this country was when they be-
came convinced that the country on their
lines did not attract settlers.
The country - favored with a climate which
makes Out- of-door work plcasurable all the
year around; the land Is often very fertile,
and has every advantage over the North
western States aud erritories Of the United
States. toward which European Immigrants
are rushing by the tens OF Thousands.
In those cold northern regions tho winters
are extremely rigorous, the springs are cold
and back ware. and the summers short and
very hot. But land rs cheap and abundant,
and the lAndiess European--lrishman Nor
wcgian. German, Dane and Swode-has his
heart set upon becoming an owner Of land
somewhsrom the western hemisphere.
These Immigrants w1l not come ~ Mexico
till land may DO had az loN rates. They know
shat the land OF Mexico n owned IN huge
tracts hy n rev people. indeed 10 has been
stated hy Mexican authority that the land Of
tie country D. m the bands of 5000 fam lies -
that is, some 80 0eo cut Of 10000 90 people own
the soil. II does not require amy pruiundity
Of vision TO discern that the monopoly Of the
soil is the cause VI the backward state OF The
country.

Gen. Butler has qualified his charge
that nine out OF every ten laboring men
would sell their vote for 81 each. He SAYS
be meant that: "Nino out Of ten laboring
men I'm my State sold their votes at 81
apiece. But that was with reference 10
those who had their poll tax paid-that Is
to say, nine out of ten whose poll taxes
were paid voted for the man who paid the
taxes for them. This is one OF the demon
alzng results Of our tax qualification. IL
was that which bad in my mind when /
was deseanting upon the labor vote being
made effective as matter OF principle. /
used the term two dollars as the usual
equivalent Of the tax" The explanation
is rather disingenious. Should the Gen
eral be candidate again in Massachu-
sets he would probably not be able TO get
many votes from any class Of citizens for
less than $2.l0 each

We dwell together, you and |,
The same in outward seeming
AS when we fret, in year gone by,
Saw Hymen's torches cleaning,
No open jar, no passing strife,
DIsturbs our level Courses,
Bnt yet we feel the springs of life
Are poisoned at their sources.
The courteous smile, the pleasant speech,
When others gather near us;
The lengthening silence. each with each,
When none are by to hear us;
The furtive watch and covert sneer,
Sharp jests IN earnest spoken;
All these have meaning full and clear,
Though peace may seem unbrokens
Our idols lie amid the dust
In thousand fragments shattered,
And faith and quiet, truth and trust,
FOrevermore are scattered.
So day by day, unheard, unseen,
Still grows the barrier stronger;
A sOmbre shadow sweeps between,
And love is ours no longer.

And part our lives asunder.

The Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad Grab.

The Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad Grab.
The passage by the House of the resolu-
ton to authorize a compromise of the
claims Of the State against the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad, as amended by
the Senate, was rather unexpected by those
who were opposed to the resolution in it's
amended shape. The MORNING NEWS
took occasion to express its opposition to
such settlement as the road wanted, and
as it succeeded in getting. The resolution,
that passed both Houses, virtually gives
the road about 100000 of the peoples
money, for which they receive no con-
sIderatiOn. These are about the facts:
Some time ago syndicate bought the road,
which was then in operation to Canton,
Ga, and completed it, with convict labor
contributed by the State, to Ellijay. With
the same labor the road was graded from
the latter place to the North Carolina
line, distance of % miles. To complete
the railroad, which is narrow gauge, it
will cost $4,000. The syndicate who
bought the road on speculation and who
have issued $500, 200 worth of bonds upon
it, asked the people of Georgia
to give them S66,OO0 and interest,
$4,000 OF the capital stock, $1,000 of
first mortgage bonds and So, 900 in second
mortgage bOnds-nearly 100000 in all
and their representatives granted the
request. They certainly had no legal nor
equitable right to it. The money will
only go to increase their already hand
some profits.
This scheme for despoiling the people
was in the first Instance squelched by the
House committee. Indeed a favorable re-
! port, even upon bill simply granting the
| Marietta and North Georgia Railroad
i further time to pay its indebtedness TO
/ the State, was only secured after a good
| deal of hard work. In this emascu-
lated shape it passed the House.
| The Senate, however, reinstated all the
bad features in the bill and passed it,.
| The managers Of this bill displayed
great shrewdness in all their manguvres.
They finally succeeded in getting IL
through the House, apparently without
much trouble. IL would be interesting TO
know what arguments were used TO Sc
cure such a remarkable change in the sen
timent Of the House with regard TO the
| bill between the two occasions when II
was before that body.
