An IninnitOns SYafem.


On three separate occasions the members
Of the general assembly of Georgia have
united in demanding the repeal Of the inter-
nal revenue system at the hands Of congress,
and there can be no doubt that these reiter-
ated appeals were based, not only on a
knowledge that the system is undemocratic
and un-American in its operations and re-
suits, but on the fact that it Is opposed to
the sense of justice that ought to reside in
the breast Of every intelligent citizen.
The system, as it now exists, is the inven-
ton of the republican party, and is infa-
nous in all its parts. 1t has been demon
strated that under its operations there is an
increased revenue going into the treasury
every year, and an increased revenue means
increased production, and increased produc-
ton means increased consumption. This
increase is mainly in the matter Of whisky.
The Illicit distiller is caught and run into
Jail, but the licensed distiler carries on his
business right in front of the public and in
the local option counties If he is big
enough and important enough he becomes
an honorary member Of the whisky ring,
and he appears to have more substantial ar
THE CONSTITUTION has frequently shown
how unjust and iniquitous the operations Of
the law have become, but nothing it has
ever said In that direction can compete with
the evidence that comes to us from Green
Vile, South Carolina. The facts were EN-
bodied in special telegram from Charles
ton, printed in yesterday edition, but they
will bear recapitulation here.
1t is stated that over five hundred wit
nesses, summoned to testify in cases under
the internal revenue laws, are in attendance
on the United States court at Grecnvlle,
and their condition ia described as pitlable
in the extreme The large majority of
these witnesses, including the grand jurors,
are without means Of subsistence. They
have no money and no credit, and they can
not procure lodging, The foreman Of the
grand jury stated to the judge, that neither
lie nor his colleagues had tasted food for
twenty-four hours.
Our special telegram describes the situa-
ton as appalling. The jail Is crowded with
witnesses, who seek refuge there rather
than starye, and the others are living out on
the by-ways begging or stealing. But this
is not all. The witnesses are poor men who
have been carried hundreds of miles from
their homes in order to testify to the viola
ton of an unjust and unnecessary law.
The most of them have families TO provide
or and crops to take care Of. Living in
the mountains and far away from available
markets, they are poverty stricken, and
when they are forced away from home to
give evidence, either for or against the gov
eminent, they suffer themselves, their fami-
lies suffer and their crops suffer; and all for
the purpose of adding to the surplus that al
ready exists IN the treasury.
This is one of the results of the inlqui-
tous internal revenue system.

MARSHALL P. w ILDER, the American hui
morist, had good time on his recent visit to
England. AT swell reception one night he
told a pleasant stranger that he felt perfectly
at home with him, but that if he was a lord he
would not know how to address him Or what
to say. The stranger laughed heartily and
soon moved off Then the lady of the house
came up and asked Mr.. Wilder what he had
said that had amused the duke Of Teck so
much. The American replied that he did not
know the duke, and had not spoken to him.
Imagine his surprise when he was informed
that the pleasant stranger was the dukel

few OF our contemporaries express the
opinion that one chief justice and two as
sociate justices are able to run the supreme
court without the assistance of the two ad-
ditional associate justices provided for by
the constitutional amendment to be voted
on at our next election.
This view will not be shared by the law
yers and litigants whose cases are every
year delayed by the press of business in the
supreme court. Undoubtedly the three
judges are oyerworked The work since
the war has been SO difficult to get through
with that judge after judge has either re-
signed or died.
1t is a mistaken economy to leave the
highest court of the state only half
equipped for the discharge of its duties
The fact that we have an able bench has
nothing to do with the question. 1t is sim
ply an impossibility for three men to dis
pose of the vast amount of business coming
before them every term with the expedition
that is demanded by the parties interested
With two additional judges the court will
be able to get through its crowded docket
without being utterly worn out and eX-
hausted; and the judges will bring to their
tasks freshness and vigor not to be ex-
pected under the present system.
When our people look into the matter we
feel satisfied that they will vote for the new
constitutional amendment.

A Cool Touch.

There was touch of September in the
weather last week-the chilly mornings, the
half sultry moons, and the refreshing night
breezes. The birds were not singing as
early as they used to do, and the rooster
that found cold and belated worm in the
grass as he few down from his perch, devel-
oped some hoarseness in his voice when he
called his various and several wives to join
him in the feast. The hoarseness, however,
had no effect on his appetite-rather the
airishness had sharpened it-for when the
various and several wives accepted the invi-
tation, the rooster made haste TO swallow
the worm in the interests of equity; and
then, as if to crown the achievement with
special graciousness, dropped his wing, car
acoled around, and made beautiful cour-
tesy to one and all.
1t was to be observed, too, that the small
birds, instead of putting on an overcoat, as
they ought to have done, protected them
selves by ruiiling their feathers. This was
the best they could do, but perhaps it was
sufficient.
The cool winds show that the backbone
of the summer is broken, and for that we
are all thankful-not that it has been hot
summer in these parts, for it is never as hot
here as it is further north-but quick and
thrifty fall will enable the refugees from
Florida to return to their homes and to their
business.
AS to the other aspects of the season, we
may say that May-pops are ripe, and that
cockle-burrs are rapidly maturiIg-two sure
signs that the summer is over. Let us hope
that these signs hold good

election is infinitely more important to Englishmen
than their internal politics just at this juno
ture, and they should observe every phase Of the
campaign closely and undeTstandingly. 1t is from
this point Of view that the copous dispatches TO the
Sunday Times are cabled The result Of the Ameri-
can election Will help 10 decide many important is
sues in Great Britain.
The effort to make republican campaign
material out OF this viii amount to nothing
No one doubts that the Times expresses the
opinion of the whole English people in the
above, nor should anyone care what they
think about our campaign.
The people of this country are conduct
ing purely American campaign, and if it
pleases or displeases England, it should be
Of no concern to us. If the people of the
United States in satisfying themselves, in
cidentally please England, no harm is done,
nor would there be if offense was given. 1t
would be very poor policy for us to lay down
the broad proposition that we should do
nothing that pleased England.
Oar interests are Of sufficient magnitude
to require our attention, and, after we are
convinced that we have gotten our affairs in
shape, it is time enough to turn to others
for their opinion of the work.

and it seems to be the proper thing to do.
A few years ago, however, such propo-
sition as this would have precipitated a
heated discussion on the subject OF state
rights. Why should the citizens OF the
whole country be taxed to quarantine GER
tain cities in the state of Georgia? This
question arises at once, and it brings up the
old subject about which thousands OF vol
umes have been written, and which has
created considerable confusion in the minds
of men.
The south used to be foremost in this
business of discussing state rights, but we
observe that the principle is conveniently
tucked under the bed when there is any
money to be saved by the operation
BY all means let the general government
pay for quarantining Georgia cities.

Another popularity Of the country is the
proverbial dishonesty of the tradesmen, about
which a great deal has been said by English
writer's While the commercial conditions
are steadily improving, and are not so bad as
represented by English authors, who are
more or less inspired by the national preju'
dice, one trades in Russia with great deal
Of caution. The ordinary merchant always
asks a greater price than he expects the Gus.
toner to pay, particularly if he is stranger
and unfamiliar with the value Of the article.
The native, or resident, knows what the
article sought should cost, and "beats down"
the salesman accordingly The tourist who
does not attempt to do so makes a mistake
and pays heavy tax upon his ignorance.
OF late the principal merchants on the Nevs6
Prospect and other fashionable streets, have
attempted reform in this particular, mark
their goods in plain figures, and hang sign
reading prices fxedn in their windows,
Their example will soon, it is hoped, extend
into all branches Of the commercial commu

teaches that honesty is the best policy.
