APROPos of the movement to convert
the battlefield of Chickamauga into ma
tional park to be under JOINT control of the
''blue' and the "gray,' it is said to
have the Endorsement of leading men of
both armies. The most eminent ex-
COnfederates now in public and private
life approve of this enterprise. They be-
Heve it will be productive of substantial
good; that it will be the means of cele-
brating, as it should be. American vaIor,
endurance, devotion to a common cause,
without regard to state or sectional lines,
and on n field made memorable by the
exhibition of American pluck and valor
for two bloody days, at the end of which
it was not certain if either side had
gained more than it had lost. The num-
bers were almost equal, so nearly so as
to make it a peculiarly fair test of pluck
and staying qualities. The combatants
we're practically purely American on both
sides; and if now they can join in the plan
proposed by the Chickamauga memo
rial association they Will give to the
world the grandest proof of seIf-control,

tons, and the real grandeur of our gov
eminent, yet recorded.

Liverpool and the Jute Trust.
Atlanta Constitution.


1t was to have been expected that the
Liverpool cotton exchange, or associa-
ton, would enter a demurrer to the use
of cotton bagging in covering the cotton
crop. Jute bagging and jute butts are
among the most important products OF
the British empire, and it is not TO be
supposed that the Liverpool or any other
British association of cotton buyers will
be hurry to indorse such a change in
cotton wrapping as that contemplated by
the Southern planters through their al
Iiances.
On the other hand, it is not to be sup
posed that the American exchanges are
going to be at all backward in their in
dorsement Of a wrapping which not only
meets all reasonable requirements, but
which enables the farmers of the cotton
states to break down an unjust and a
cruel monopoly.
The objections set forth by the Liverpool
exchange, or, rather, the questions
asked by that exchange, which were in
tended TO be in the nature of objections 4,
have been fully answered by the New
Orleans cotton exchange, and it is very
certain that all other objections will be
disposed of quite as effectually. All the
Southern exchanges have Endorsed the
cotton bagging as a marketable wrap
ping, the Southern alliances have in
dorsed it, and, as we remarked yester-
day, jute bagging must go.
The New York cotton exchange will act
with the farmers and the Southern eX-
changes, and will ADOPT resolutions set
ting forth in strong terms its approval of
the use of, cotton bagging as a wrapping
for cotton bales.
AS for the farmers, it will be seen that
they are in earnest about the matter, and
through the alliance are working in a
systematic way that means great deal
more than fulminations through the
newspapers. On this line we print else
where some interesting correspondence
between Hon. w. J. Northen of the ALI
ance and Mr.. W. N. MERCER of Augusta,
which will give some idea of the extent
and character of the movement in favor
of cotton bagging.
In addition to all that has been done,
the New Orleans cotton exchange, hav-
ing in view the welfare of the farmers
who are fighting the trusts, proposes that
q convention representing the CONNER
cIal interests of the cotton growing re-
giOn be held in that city on the 18th of
September. 1t is intended that the pro-
posed convention shall consider the
bagging question and agree upon a uni
form method of adjusting the tare diff
Guilty.
AS the Times Democrat says, such a
convention, composed of commercial
men who thoroughly understand the sit
uatIon, will afford the best and truest
solution of the veXatious tare problem.
The Liverpool cotton association has been
described as a very conservative and
slow moving body, but it viii move fast
enough when it comes to realize the. fact
that not only the cotton growers, but the
cotton buyers of this country are bent on
circumventing the jute trust.
In other words, it will require fewer
arguments than might be supposed to
convince the British people that jute
must 90

ACCORDING to Poor's Manual the number Of
miles of railway constructed in Texas during the
year 1857 was 1O71. IS; in 1883, 23O.SO. Here is
remarkable falling off. Can those newspapers
which have not been subsidized by the corpora
tons explain the reason for it?-[ Houston Post.
According to the same authority Mis-
souri, constru cted 564 miles in 1887 and
259 miles in 1888; Kansas, 225l miles in
1887 and SCI miles in 1888, and Georgia,
232 miles in 1887 and 43O miles in 1888.
Now, will some newspaper, subsidized or
not subsidized, explain the reasons for
the falling off in the states named, ex-
cept Georgia. All these states, except
Texas, have railroad commissions. Do
the figures show that commission regu-
lation has aught to do with construction?
If SO, why does Georgia build more with
a commission and Texas less without q
commission

the identity of interest between people
and roads will benefit Texas, aud what
ever plan or regulation is adopted must
be selected with view to this common
interest, or it will result disastrOusly to
both. 1t is nothing to the purpose OF
regulation that the people become I'M
duly excited politically or that the roads
may discriminate; Texas cannot prosper
without the roads, and the roads cannot
prosper without Texas. The roads are
here, and the people are anxious to have
more roads; and in dealing with the roads
through legislation the people should
never forget that they are dealing with
themselves, since the roads enter into
the everyday financial, industrial and
business life of the people. Neither
roads nor people can do aught to benefit
jury to themselves. What is best, there
fore, for both, without regard to what
either has done or may wish to do that is
ill-considered, unwise or unjust, should
be the aim of all men who honestly labor
for the public good without expectation
of financial or political reward.
The appointment of a railroad COM
mission under the whip and spur
of an agitation directed to political ends
and the qualification of political ambl-
tions, would be a calamity to Texas.
The appointment of a committee to in
vestigate the question and report to the
people as a basis for action would be
wise. But if that may not be done be-
cause of the delay, as urged by the Bel
ton paper, then the appointment of a
commission upon which both people and
roads Gf such distinction be I'M
avoidable) are represented might be
the best thing possible for both.
Certainly no one desires to regulate
the roads regardless of the identity
of interest between them and the
people, and since so little is known
of the details of the railroad bust
ness by men outside the service
of the roads, if the purpose be to
regulate the roads and not to cripple or
destroy them, why should not the
roads have a representative in the COM
mission? Compose commission as the
state may, the members of it must either
act arbitrarily or after conference with
or protest from the roads, and since there
is g common interest and should be a
common justice, why not permit the
roads to select one representative
on the commission, and the state to have
two or four representatives as the
commission may consist of three or five
members. A commission of three mem
bers, one selected by the roads, one by
the legislature in joint session and one by
the governor, or commission made up
in any other manner that allowed the
roads representation would not only con-
duce to intelligent action, but might
prove to be the very best possible solution
of a question that, left open, is ever q
temptation to the demagogue, and al
ways subject to the fluctuations of pop

THE Republicans in convention assem-
bled at Norfolk put Gen. Malone in the
lead. Before his nomination as governor
he was very positive in the expression of
his confidence in his ability to carry the
state for that party. The wise man says
time and chance happeneth to them
all. Malone seems TO think the times
are ripe. The chance is his, but the Vir-
GINA of Jefferson viii be apt to show this
vaunter that boasting issyain; nomina-
ton and election are not synonyms.

Interstate Alliance.
Montgomery Advertiser

The resolutions adopted by the Inter-
state farmers association were sensible
and conservative. They contained no
buncombe, no threats. and no foolish
talk about letting the years work rot in
the fields. They advised the farmers to
buy cotton bagging, wherever it could
be done. and III this they were emineptly
wise. When that supply fails the next
best thing to do is TO buy some other sort
of covering. The farmers, as a rule, are
too sensible TO spend their money and
time and then see the result OF their

JUDGE COOLEY, chairman of the inter

opinion that the railroads are working
injury TO their business by ignoring the
long and short haul clause of the law.
He declares such action to be a violation
of the law, and that by so dong the rail-
roads invite unreasonable competition,
thus Iessening their revenue. He admits
that the law needs revision, but believes
revision will strengthen, rather than
modify the Objectionable provisions.
