SIGN THE TREATY.


United States and Great Britain
was ended by treaty signed Dec
"a, 1914, at Ghent, and the battle
OF New Orleans was fought after
the treaty.
| There was time in the nego.
tlations when Messrs. CLAY. Bay.
ard and Gallatin thought they
would have to come home and re-.
port failure. The British Gov
ernment, through her commission
ers, would not yield the point as
to the right of search for British
sailors on American vessels. Mr.,
Clay wanted to insist on having
that clause in the treaty, as the
war was fought on that issue prin-
cipally.
Hon. William FL. Crawford. of
Georgia, was at the time MiIi lister
to France, and Mr.. Clay wrote or
sent a messenger to him for his
advice in the matter.
Mr.. Crawford said: "Sign the
treaty without that clause0make
no issue upon it,
The treaty was signed, and Mr..
Clay. meeting Mr.. Crawford in
Washington year or two after
that, he said to him: "Mr. Craw-
ford, what were your reasons for
not making an issue on the right
OF search, for 1 know you must
have had some reasons for vour
suggestions?"
"Mr. Clay, we were not strong
enough to demand that clause.
though we fought on that issue.
We are growing as nation; we
must have a good navy, and pret-
ty soon we will be so strong that
tho British Government will not
dare to search our vessels. Our
strength will make them cautious"
There was policy and states
manship happily combined, and
Mr.. Crawfords predictions be,
came facts.
DUKE, L WILL WALK WITH YOU.
Hon. William H. Crawford rep
resented the United States as
Minister to France during a part
of the time Napoleon Bonaparte
was Emperor and Louis XVII
King. After the battle of Water
loo Louis returned to France, and
was reseated on the throne.
On one occasion he gave a state
dinner, and, as is Well known, men
and women on such occasions are
seated according to their rank.
Royalty first, then Dukes, Earls,
Lords, etc. On the occasion re-
ferred to the Duke of Wellington
was present, and his high rank
(none present being of his rank, J
he was alone. The others had
their superior and equals, and
went in pairs to the dining room.
Mr.. Crawford, who did not
speak ffench, ana perhaps not
thinking of court etiquette, and
seeing the Duke of Wellington
walking alone, walked up to him
and pleasantly said: "Your Grace,
I will walk with you," and taking
his arm, the rest stared at him,
asking, who is that man with the
| Duke?
But Mr.. Crawford, massive in
frame, standing over six feet, and
nodoubt the equal of any there in
intellect, was not the least embar-
rassed.
It is said that the first time Ma
poleon saw him he was struck with
his appearance, and remarked:
''There is great man." Mr.. .Craw-
ford was plain and simple in his
manners, and never put on any
airs of dignity OF superiority.

FRog TIME. TO ETERNITY.
Suicide Of a Methodist Minister
a-@ Stone Mountain. #
atlanta Journal 9th inst.

| Atlanta Journal 9th inst. 9A-'@
From Mr.. Oliver Winning ham
of Stone Mountain, we learn til,
particulars of a very sad affair, oc.
curing in that quiet little towr
last night sg
Rev. M. d. Turner, the Metho-
dist preacher in charge at Law
renceville, reached the town at |
o'clock and took up quarters at
the Railroad Hotel. Nothing un-
usual was noticed about him. Last
night, however, the occupants of
the hotel were aroused BY louds
screams of "Murder--self mur-
der" coming from the room occu-
pied by. Rev. Mr.. Turner. Upon re-
pairing to the room he was found
to be in the most violent parox-
ysms of pain. AS he writhed and
twisted he cried, "hold me-" 1t
was suspected that perhaps some
one had entered the room and in.
ficted a fatal blow upon him.
Hearing remarks Of this kind, he,
as the paroxysms lassened in in
tensity, observed, 'Look behind
the glass and you will see the
cause"
A bottle was found behind the
glass, labeled "Strychnine," emp
ty. DR.. G. L. Summey was sent
for and made every effort to save
the unfortunate man, but the
deadly drug had done its work,
and he died withina short time.
He was conscious enough to tell
them to telegraph to his father,
leading citizen of Putnam county.
He left u note stating in effect
that the cause of his action was
best known to himself, and that
his wife was Ill no manner the
cause OF it.
Soon after his death two citizens
of Lawrenceville came there after
him. He had not been to break
fast that morning, and his wife
finding out that he had gone toward
Stone Mountain, feeling alarmed
about him pursuade1 these gen.
tlemen to go after him. SO far as
our informant could learn he had
not eaten anything that day. 1t
is thought that he was suffering
under mental alteration.
Mr.. Turner was about twenty
eight years of age and had been
in the ministry for four or five
years. In December lasthe mar
ried Miss Anna Pierce, daughter
of Rev. j. L. Pierce. She is
niece of the late Bishop Pierce,
and is lady of culture and rale
amiability of character. His re-
mains were still at Stone Noun
tain this morning, awaiting direc-
tions from his family as to the
place of interment.
The affair cast deep gloom
over the town of Stone Mountain,
and many hearts in the State will
60 out in sympathy to the be-
reaved wife and stricken family

CALL A HALT.

The country should aid General Grant.
His splendid services ale not to be eclipsed
by his misfortunes Very rarely is great
warrior good financier. Weowe General
Grant debt the weakness of his old age
cannot obIiterate. But let us be honest
with Vanderbilt The papers which are
denouncing him as a Shylock should look
at the facts. Grant came to him on the
very eve of the failure of Ward & Grant
and asked the personal loan of $4,000
for a few hours He assured Vanderbilt
that it was mere matter Of form, and
that he was solvent. He was handed the
money without hesitation, and gave
check dated two days in advance for the
repayment Next day Grant & Ward
failed, and the $4,000 went, not to the
aid of General Grant, but was swallowed
up in the rascally transactions of Ward,
whose dupe the General was-no man
doubling the honesty of the old hero,
whose integrity is without blot. The
thing ran on for months, and clamorous
creditors took steps to seize the Generals
effects. To prevent this, and give time for
redemption, and so place them that the
General might not be stripped of them,
Vanderbilt attached the goods. Then he
turned about and threw off cool 100000
of the debt, and there the matter stands.
Had the money gone into General Grants
pocket, Vanderbilt asserts that he would
never have sued But who shall blame
him for feeling sore at seeing his loan
swooped down upon by the trick-rascal
Ward? We may have no admiration or
special regard for Vanderbilt, but have we
reason to hate him because he possessed
the ability to aid General Grant, and did
it without taking a single farthing of value
as security, and because he now offers one
third of the whole sum as his contribution
TO lift the debt? It is admitted that Van
derbilt's suit was brought at the instance
of General Grants friends, to keep less
generous creditors from putting his house
hold goods under the hammer Let the
press which is so not to denomce Wander
bilt As a pound-of-fesh money lender, be
honest enough to look at the facts as they
are, and without reproaches that can in no
wise benefit the unfortunate old General,
now descending the shadowy side of the
hill. Let a grateful country rescue Cen
eral Grant from himself, and make peace
ful and restful the last days of the grand
old warrior, whose courage, GOODNESS and
indomitable determination preserved US a
Nation, and forever set the seal of ar IL
dissoluble Union of sovereign States.

fairly well-treated one subject, and evolved
some valuable fact regarding one industrial
branch. it would have had the commenda-
tion of the Legislature As it is, it is no
excuse to complain that the scheme of the
Bureau is enormously vast and the labor
prodigious. The history Of such Bureaus
elsewhere told us that long ago. MIR. Nlmmo
could have enlightened Mr.. Enos on that
point. or indeed any well-posted newspaper
man. As it is, the report before us Is
mass Of rubbish. In the name of common
blushing it is to be hoped the Legislature
will stay the hand Of Mr.. Enos, to prevent
him sending this claptrap volume to other
States to be laughed at Now we are very
far from Directing to the Bureau itself.
The scheme Of it can be made of great
usefulness to the people of the State. The
purpose of its creation was a high one
though by no means present necessity.
Nor are we prepared to say that Mr.. Enos
may not make very good sta,istician in
time-there is no telling what time will
do; but certain it is no Commissioner ever
before managed to burn so much powder
and get so little game. Labor interests
have not been benefited one iota by the
fusilade, nor have the people received such
a report of two years labor as they had
ample reason to expect. The Bureau must
not fail. 1t must be made effective, and
the purpose aimed at must be attained
We want labor statistics, but we do not
want so much painful labor in their deliv'
cry, and certainly desire healthier chic
than this frst-born.

THE RAILROAD REPORT.

stitute their own commentary. They
show that upon the Central Pacific Rail
road the lowest rate of fare per mile for

one and sixty-six and two-thirds hun
dredths cents. Ferry single fare). one
and five hurdredths cents. Ferry (com-

gers on roads operated by this company,
two and sixty-fye hundredths cents.
Average rate Of fare per mile received
from local passengers on roads operated by
this company, not including ferry or sea
son tickets, three and forty-two hundredths
cents. Average rate of fare per mile re-
ceived from passengers to and from other
roads, two and twenty-eight hundredths
cents. Average rate of fare per mile per
season-ticket passengers, reckoning one
round trip per day to each ticket, none
Average rate of fare per mile for all pas
sengers, two and scyenty-three hundredths
cents.
This is under what is known as the
Humphreys schedule, establishing the
maximums at four and six cents. The
Commission point out that the operation
of the schedule does by the diferential
rate-graduation of rates to service-sub-
stantially what is done by classification of
roads in Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina
and Wisconsin, in all Of which, by legisla-
ton, rates range from three to four cents
per mile, and in neither of which are there
any such constant factors of cost in con-
struction and operation as Mojaye deserts
or Nevada and Tchachapi mountains.
The Commissioners add: " Upon this
exhibit of diversified and average pas
scnger rates, rcconsidered and tested by
the conditions of service, it is now, as it
was on the 10Th day of August, 1888 the
deliberate judgement of this Commission
that the maximums established conform to
the right rule of decision and are Just and
reasonable"
