A Crank'S Work.


The scurrilous pamphlet attacking the
President, Secretary Whitney and ex- Mayor
Grace, of New York, which has been dis
tTibuted among the delegates at st. Louis
and scattered over the country, is doubtless
the work of a crank. No enemy of the
President, who was DESTROYS of doing him
an injury, would publish such charges, be-
cause, unSustained, they are calculated TO
Go him more good than harm. They are so
indecent, and so evidently devoid of truth,
that no one whose good opinion is worth
having, will give them a moments
serious consideration. They may
annoy the President, but that
will be the only bad effect they will have.
Thousands, however, who have never felt
very deep regard for him. because they
differ with him politically, or do not APP
prove Of some of his administrative acts,
will. after they have read this pamphlet,
feel a sympathy for him because of the out
rageous attacks it makes upon him, and will
become his warm friends and active sup
porters.
1t is impossible that the charges, if there
were any truth in them, could have been
kept secret until some one, who was afraid
to have his name known in connection with
them, made them public No man in the
country is so closely watched as the Presl-
dent. His private life, as well as his public
acts, is subjected to the most rigid scrutiny
Enemies III his own party, as well as in that
OF the opposition, are constantly on the look
cut for some word or deed of his that can
be used to his disadvantage
1t is doubtful if there can be found any
one in Washington, however, who knows of
anything in his conduct that is unworthy
of a Christian and a gentleman. His
domestic life appears to be, and no doubt
is, happy one. Every indication certainly
points that way. If there had been any
such scandal as this pamphlet hints at, it
would have been the subject of gossip in
the barrooms and hotels. and would have
found its way in some shape into the oppo-
sition newspapers.
In view of the fact that Gov. Hill is
mentioned in the pamphlet as an available
presidential candidate, he was asked
if he had any suspicion of its origin.
He Indignantly denied, of course, that he
knew of any one who was so lost to all
sense of decency and self-respect as to write
such pamphlet. He said that he had re-
ceived good many anonymous communi-
cations lately, some of which were of a
character to Justify the belief that q mali
cious crank was the writer of all Of them.
The author of the pamphlet attacking the
President says that he will sustain ON the
floor of the convention the charges he
makes. 1t is quite certain that he will not
He will never let his name be known, much
less attempt t prove his charges.

Georgia Bonds.

The state Of Georgia is asking bids for
bonds to an amount not to exceed 81, 900, 900.
The proceeds of them are to be applied to
debt maturing Jan. l, 1889 They pay A.
per cent. interest, and bids for them
viii be received until noon, July g.
They win be delivered Oct. l, next, and
100000 of them will mature each year.
beginning with 1898.
1here is no safer investment than these
bonds. they are as desirable as government
bonds. The financial condition of Georgia
Is excellent and she is steadily growing in
wealth and population. 1t is impossible
Tor her to increase her debt, because her
constitution prevents her from doing so,
and another constitutional provision
requires $1,000 annually to be raised by
taxation to be applied to the liquidation Of
her existing debt. This constitutional re-
qulrement is strictly complied with
Georgia'S debt is not large. In 1879 it was
$40, 344.50O, and at present it is only IS, 753,-
$50. From this statement it will be seen
that it is steadily decreasing, while the
ability of the state to pay it is steadily
increasing.
The resources of the state are enormous
For 1879 her taxable property, as digested
bv the comptroller, was 1924 959, 5S4, and
IN 1883 it was s34l, 504 ,921, an increase in
nine years of S106, 545, 373. The state owns
property enough to pay her entire debt
The State railroad, from Atlanta to Chatta-
nooga, belongs to her. It would readily
sell for sum sufficient to liquidate her out
standing bonds. The revenue derived from
it is sufficient to pay 81 per cent on all of
her interest-bcaring debt.
The bonds which the state is offering
ought to command a good premium. There
are no safer bonds, and it is doubtful if
there are any that are better secured
Doubtless a large pc, ton of them will be
purchased for investment by citizens of the
state, and it is certain that there will be a
strong demand for them at the money
centers of the country.

II Doesn't Look that Wav

The Charleston NeIUs and Courier assists
in circulating report that Mr.. H. B. Plant
is anxious to sell out his vast railroad and
steamship interests. Has this report some
foundation or did it originate in the busy
brain Of some of the railroad manipulators,
who would like to get hold of the splendid
properties of the Plant system for speculative
purposes. Nothing that Mr.. Plant has said
or is doing justiaes such a report He is
going right ahead developing his great rail-
way and steamship system with his accus-
toned energy and judgment, and his plans
reach years into the future. What evidence
is there that he wants to sell out and retire!
He is not broken in health, and he has not
lost his liking for busy life nor his ambi-
ton for handling great enterprises.
When the situation is reviewed carefully,
does it not look as if Mr. Plant were much
more likely to get control of other railroad
systems in the south than to dispose of his
ownl Only little while ago he purchased
a big interest in the West Point Terminal
some 10000 shares-and, as everybody
knows, the control of the Terminal
carries with it the control of the Richmond
and Danville and the East Tennessee, Vir-
gina and Georgia. At the election for
Terminal directors last Thursday a repre-
sentative of the Plant system was chosen
member of the new board, thus indicating
that Mr.. Plant and those with whom he is
acting have secured control of the roads in
the Terminal system. Does this look
as if Mr.. Plant were about to sell out and
retire9 Does it not look rather as if he
were mapping out some very interesting as
well as pretty big enterprises for the futures
That's about the way it looks in Wall
street, notwithstanding the report to the
contrary which the NeloS and Courier

The men who stand at the gates in the rail
road depots and take tickets have no feelings
They are hired for that reason. Yesterday a
motherly-looking old lady was waiting at the
Third street station for the train to come in
from Flint. She had asked the gatekeeper ten
or twelve times II the train would be sure to
come in and he had answered her each time
with curt ''yes'm," when she thought she'd
melt him. Going close up, she asked:

hand to take a ticket.

The Convention.

The National Democratic convention
meets to-day, and the indications are that
it will not be in session more than two
days. There is no reason now apparent why
it should. There are no signs of trouble
over the platform cropping out, and 1t looks
as if permanent organization would be
effected without unnecessary delay. The
temporary craftsmanship has been given to
California, and it is probable that Massa-
chusetts will get the permanent chair
manship. The nomination for President
will probably be made by reclamation, and
it begins to look as if the vice presidential
nomination would be made that way too.
Two days, under the circumstances, ought
to be all the time the convention needs to
accomplish the object for which it was
called.
