Colnuitt,s Onnosition.

There is an effort being made to defeat
Senator Colquitt's reelection. OF course,
it will not succeed. Mr.. Henry Grady has
good many friends throughout the state,
and they are making an opposition candi
date of him. Mr.. Grady may get some
votes, and it is quite a compliment to get
even one vote for United States senator.
Mr. Grady's friends are undoubtedly sin
cere. Mr.. Grady ought to be, and doubt
less is pleased, and Senator Colquitt's
chances for reelection are not in the least
jeopardized.
There IN ay be few who think that
Senator Colquitt can be beaten. They
don't know the people of this state. Georgia
is for tariff reform. She said so few days
ago by 10000 majority. Senator Colquitt
represents their views on the tariff, and
their representatives in the legislature
know it, Would their representatives, there
fore, dare to pass by Senator Colquitt and
elect man TO the United States Senate
who is not in sympathy with them on the
one great issue of the presidential cam
paigns
The outlook now is that tariff reform
will be the great issue of 1892. II Mr..
Grady wants to go to the Senate at some
future time, it will be advisable for him to
fall into line with his party on the tariff
issue at once.

Why is it that the city council does not
prevent the emptying Of the refuse matter
from the gas works into the river? This
refuse matter causes shoals, which obstruct
commerce.
The MORNING NEWS published an inter
view several days ago with the engineer in
charge of the harbor improvement, and he
stated emphatically that the refuse from the
gas works was a hindrance to navigation.
The refuse hardens on tie bottom of the
river, catches sand and other materials and
thus quickly forms a shoal.
Is it imperatively necessary that this re-
fuse should be turned into the river! If not,
why does not the council take steps to pre-
vent t from being empt:ed there. The
councils attention has been called to the
damage to the channel which this re-
fuse does, but somehow or other it fails to
see the necessity for protecting the channel.
1t would not be at all surprising if the
government were to refuse to dredge the
shoals caused by the gas works deposit. If
it should refuse, the city would have to bear
the expense of the dredging But why
should the city be put to an unnecessary
expense when the necessity for dredging
can be avoided by requiring the gas works
to deposit its refuse matte elsewherei

Ii is under stood of course that the sewer
age question is occupying the attention of
the city authorities, aud in tie absence. of
any definite information, there is considel-
able anxiety in the public mind to know
how soon plan for giving the city a system
of house drainage sewers is likely to be-
adopted. The authorities may be acting
with as much haste as the Importance of
the matter will permit, but if they propose
TO do anything at ali this winter, is it not
about time they were deciding upon plan?
The work of making the openings in the
soil for the sewer pipes ought to be going on
now. If it is not begun pretty soon, it can
not be accomplished before the weather
becomes too warm to permit the soil to be
disturbed with safety People are wonder
ilg what is being done, and whether any
thing is likely to be done this winter.
The authorities of course say that they
are Fastening matters as much as they can,
and perhaps they are. but have they not
wasted good deal of time that could have
been proftaby utilized since it became
apparent that the city ought to be provided
with a sewerage system this winter. Soon
after the fever appeared at Jacksonville
public sentiment was ripe for sewerage
system, and if the authorities had gone to
work then, energetically, it is probable that
a sewerage plan would have been adopted
by this time, and the work of putting down
sewer pipes begun.
1t will be quite while yet before it will
be possible to settle upon plan. There are
many who doubt the ACCESSIBILITY of adopt
ing tde Waring system. II is declared to
be very expensive, and it is asserted that
there are some objections TO it that it will
be difficult to overcome. The council will
hardly adopt any plan concerning which it
IS not thoroughly satisfied, and it can hardly
be satisfied until it has taken the opinion of
those who have some practical knowledge
of sanitary engineering There are at least
half dozen gentlemen in this city who know
something of engineering in connection with
sanitary matters, and who would make a
good board to decide upon a system of sew
erage. Why would it not be advisable to
| solicit their services when the authorities
are ready to adopt plan:
The chief anxiety now is TO have the work
begun as soon as possible. If the city is to
have system of sewers, the people want
| it before next summer

Oemler's OYSTER Bill.

DR.. Oemler's bill for the protection of the
oyster fisheries on the Georgia coast is a
very important measure, and should receive
very careful consideration from the legisla-
ture. As long as the oysters were taken
only to the extent of supplying the wants of
those living along the coast, there was no oc-
casiOn for making rules and regulations for
preventing the oyster beds from becoming
exhausted. The demand FOR oysters in the
great centers of population has be-
come so great, however, that there
is danger that oysters will become remark
ably scarce on the Georgia coast within a
very few years unless they are protected by
law. Many of the beds are already OK
hausted, and it is much more difficult now
to dredge boat load of oysters than it was
| a few years ago. The Georgia beds are
drawn upon to help supply the demands of
| the northern cities, and the number of men
who are engaged in the oyster business is
large and steadily increasing
DIR. Oemler's bill may or may not be the
one that should be passed, but no one who
is interested in preventing the oyster fish
cries from being destroyed can doubt that
| oyster fisheries of Maryland, Delaware and
other states are protected by wise laws and
if the Georgia legislature does its duty, it
will not hesitate to provide ample protec-
ton for those of Georgia.
Some of the oyster fishermen don't want
any legislation respecting oysters They
want to be free to catch oil they can at any
season of the year. They don't care appar-
emily, whether the oyster fisheries are in
danger of being destroyed or not. They
think only of the present. The future of the
fish erles doesn't concern them.
DR.. Oemler does not desire to interfere
with the rights of any one nor does he
seek any advantage for himself which
others may not enjoy. He only aims to
preserve the oyster fisheries and make them
yield as abundantly to future generations
as they do now. Indeed, if his ideas are
adopted, the fisheries Will soon increase their
yield.
The legislature should give DR.. OemIer a
careful hearing, and if his bill is not exactly
| what it ought to be, let it be amended: but
I the legislature will make grave mistake if
it does not erect barrier in the shape of
stringent laws against the destruction of
the oyster fisheries
