The speeches Of Senator Sherman and
Judge Foraker in Ohio are exciting a
great deal Of comment, not because they
contain anything new or specially inter-
esting, but because their evident purpose
is to arouse sectional feeling. Senator
Sherman is a Candida te for reelection to
the Senate, and also a candidate for the
Presidency. Judge Foraker is a candi-
date for Governor. Their party has moth
ing TO present to the people that is calcu-
lated TO arouse their enthusiasm or to call
out a large party vote.
They are IN great danger of defeat, be-
cause they have no reasons to give why
their party should DO supported. They
have, therefore, adopted the old tactics of
the Republican parry, and are devoting a
good share Of their time to making mis-
statements respecting political matters in
the South.
IL they we're called on TO prove their
statements that the negroes are not per
mitted to vote, and that they are whipped,
bulldozed and driven away from the polls,
they would be forced to admit that they
have no facts.
Judge Foraker ventured to particular
lie and pointed out this county as one
Of the places where the negroes were pre-
vented from voting. 1t was unfortunate
for him that he departed from general
statements. 1t was easy to shOw-and
the MORNING NEWS did show-that his
assertions relative to Chatham county
were without foundation.
If he desired he could easily have
found out the truth with regard to the
treatment of the colOred voters in this
county. The truth, however, is not what
he wants because it would not serve his
purpose. He says that he does not want
to excite sectional feeling. Why, then,
does he pursue a curse that must neces-
sarily arouse feeling Of that kind? OF
course he is insincege. His purpose is to
arouse sectional feeling. What other pur.
pose could he ave by making statements
rejecting ~unjustly on the Southern people
that are without Foundation?
The South is willing that the truth
should be known, but will not silently
submit to Misrepresentation. II the SLAM
ders of Senator Sherman and Judge Fora
ker were confined to the localities where
they are uttered, little harm would be
done. But they are not. They are scat
tered broadcast over the country and are
believed by very many ~well-meanIng peo-
pie.
There is some satisfaction in the
thought, however. that such ISLANDERS are
not so generally believed as they once
wpre. It ia certainly time that mfsren
resentation in the South should cease. A
few demagogues ought not be allowed to
excite feelings Of hostility between the
North and the South when no cause for
hostility exists.

senator nrown,s InterNiew.

Senator Brown, in an interview which
we publish this morning, discusses the
Railroad Commission question thoroughly
and exbausuyely. He makes it very
clear that the railroad companies do not
want the commission abolished. They
only want its powers limited so that they
shall have a word to say about the man
agement Of their WI property.
The commission now has such absolute
power that IL can rum all the roads in the
State in n year, if it is so disposed. Of
course IL is not disposed to do anything OF
that kind, but, through its Ignorance Of
the business of the roads and their actual
financial condition, it NAV. in its eager
ness TO curry favor with the people, do
DAMAGE that il has no intention 81 doing
Indeed, the railroad companies say that
the commission Is gradually driving them
towards bankruptcy.
Senator Brown lie regarded as one Of
the shrewdcst men in the state. lie is
not apt to hold on to an investment that
promises to turn out badly. lie says that
a few years ago he held a large amount of
Georgia railroad stocks. The amount
that he has now is not large, anG why2
Because, as he says himself, he saw that
the commission was going to make rail-
road stocks in Georgia a rather bad in
vestment, and he got rid Of his as soon as
be conveniently could. Time has shown
the wisdom of his action.
Does anybody suppose that when Geor-
gia capitalists refuse to invest money in
vuf1raaTa ~ Gpnvpfa FOwofy, nonffa1fufG
are going to invest in them? OF course
not. A few days ago we published the
fact that there were several projected
railroads in Georgia, and that the lines Of
these roads passed through a very large
number of counties. How long Will il be
before these roads are built if the present
extraordinary powers Of the commits
sion are not limited? VIII they
ever be built? Who is there who
will furnish the money to build them?
They are roads that would pay, Of course,
under the right sort Of management, but
they would never pay under the manage
ment Of the commission. Every capitalist
knows that, and cannot be convinced
to the contrary. Counties that would
grow rapidly in wealth and population, if
they had transportation facilities that
would enable them to market their prod
ucts quickly and cheaply, are condemned,
by a condition of affairs that prevents de-
%velopment and progress, to remain, as it
we're, at a stand still.
Members of the Legislature who have
not given this Railroad Commission ques-
ton careful consideration ought to do 30
before voting upon the bill to amend the
railroad commission law. They can
hardly fail to be convinced that the inter-
ests of the entire State require that the
law should be modified as proposed.

The Most Successful Political Boss.

Speaking of political "bosses," Mr.. Parnell
seems 10 be the most effective and successful
one Of this generation. The politics Of three
quarters of ireland are now subject TO his d.
rect personal control. and there may be
enough doubtful constituencies IN England TO
enable him TO defeat the Liberals by throwing
the weight of the Irish vote on the COnseIva-
tive side. Mr.. Psrneil'r career has been q
stormy one and ne has made his share OF

The Hohoken TRAGEDY.

There appears to be a good deal of SYM
pathy for the Hoboken druggist, Am
ende, who made the mistake which re-
suited in the death of two beautiful young
Urls. 1t is probable, however, that if he
had not attempted to take his own life
there would not have been any sympa-
tbetic expressions in his behalf. But he
might as well be dead. 1t is believed that
ne will be a maniac for the remainder OF
bis life.
In every State there are laws which
provide for the infection Of severe penal
ties on druggists who MAKE a fatal mis-
take, and there is no question but that they
ought TO be enforced. The purpose Of en-
forcing them is not so much to infict pun
ishment on those making mistakes as to
make druggists generally more careful.
Doubtless Amende's mind was occu-
cupied with something else than the pre-
scription when he put up morphine for
q~uinine. tie was a irst-class man in his
profession, and could not possibly have
made such a mistake il he had had his
Wits about him.
This case shows how very easy it is for
a druggist to destroy life while it is his
purpose to assist in preserving it. There
certainly ought TO be greater precautions
taken to guard against administering poi
son to a person by mistake. A druggist
may ask, what greater precautions can be
taken than are now observed? 1t would
be difficult, of course, to answer this ques-
ton unless the whole matter were thor
oughly investigated, and 1t might not be
possible to answer IL then.
There IS n thing that can be said. 1t
is that no one should be given a certi6-
cate to ill prescriptions who is absent
minded. whose wits often go w%ool-gather-
ing, or who hasn't a very clear apprecIa-
ton of the great responsibility resting
upon him. The druggist, Amende, was
often thinking of matters foreign to his
business when compromising prescrip
lions, and II is not TO be wondered at.
therefore, that he gave the wrong drug.
especially when the drug he intended Il
give and the one he did give occupied y
place on the shelf 50 close together.
