 ing the Musters Himself This
 Year.
 The annual muster and inspection of the National Guard now being made is being conducted personally by Adjutant General Embler.

This year there have been no complaints whatever, and thus far the companies have turned out with surprisingly large ranks. At WIlliman- tic Thursday night every man in Com- pany B turned out, one man having made the trip from New York in order to be present.

The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1890-09-23

The wisdom of Balfour's action in having
Dillon, O'Brien and other Irish leaders ar
rested just as they were about to start for
this country has not yet appeared. 1t is
understood that Balfour's action is likely
to cause discussions in the cabinet. Indeed,
it is said that several of the mini sters have
expressed in strong terms their disapproval
of the arrests.
Balfour does not appear to have had any
cause for bis action. The charges against
the accused leaders are based upon speeches
made several months ago, and it is proba-
BILE that no notice of these speeches would
have been taken had it not been that Dill
Ion, O'Brien and the others were about to
come to this country to seek assistance for
the Irish cause
1t would have been a much wiser plan for
Balfour to have busted himself in providing
relief for the thousands in Ireland who are
on the verge of starvation. By such a
course he would have done more to weaken
the cause of the Irish leaders than by the
course he has taken. What he has done
will cause irritation and Indignation and
arouse a spirit of resistance.
Recent statistics published by the govern
ment show that Ireland is in deplorable
condition. The population is decreasing
and pauperism is increasing. In a popula-
ton of less than 100000 there are 39o, 697
persons in the workhouse and nearly
10000 receiving outdoor relief. A
country having over half a million
paupers in a population of less than $780,
600 is pretty badly off. And the outlook
for the approaching winter is gloomy in
deed. A very large percentage of the peo-
pie depend wholly upon the potato crop for
food, and that crop is almost a total failure.
Already the cry of distress is heard. 1t is a
pity Balfour didn't adopt a policy that
would have tended to ameliorate the condi-
ton of the Irish people instead of one cal
culated to exasperare them.

Middle Georgia and Atlantic,

Mr.. Machsn, who Is the president aud
chief promoter Of the Middle Georgia and
Atlantic railroad, and the capitalists who are
proposing 70 assist him in building it, were
given a very hearty reception II this city
yesterday, and there Is every reason 10
believe that they were imposed very
favorably. They could hardly have
been impressed otherwise. IheTe IS

A very light vo;e vii se paiicd, doubtless,

senator have opposition
Wien joint debate between Mr.. Nor
wood and Gov Gordon was among the pos
sibilitisS. II was thought that the latter part
q the campaign would be enlivened by a
few speeches that would excite attention
throughout the state. There is no probable
iiy q JOINT debate between them now,

Gordon having decided that Mr.. Norwood's
letter does not require q reply.
Gov. Gordon. however. is making some
telling speeches, and it is quite apparent
that his popularity is as great as it ever
was. Wherever be goes he is greeted with
enthusiastic cheers, and if the legislature
voices the sentiments of the people he will
have very little opposition for senator.
The fact is that while Gov. Gordon may
not have been very successful in his private
business enterprises. he has been wonderfully
as a public servant. He was a great
soldier, and he has made one of the best
governors the state has ever had. The peo-
pie, while they may regret that he has not
been more fortunate in his business ven
lures, know that he has the ability TO serve
them, because they have tried him. He has
been faithful to them in war and peace, and
has proved himself equal to every public
trust confided to him. This is the explana-
ton of their enthusiastic Endorsement of
him for senator.

It Is Not Just.

So far as can be ascertained the most i'm
Fortunate clamor for that proposed Farm
ers' Government Loan Accommodation
Fund comes from Kansas and thereabout,
where they have all sorts of crotchety
notions at alarmiugly frequent intervals,
despite the theory that prohibition prevails
DER the lanl.
What chimerical and visionary scheme
it is, to be sure; still not wholly devoid of
that method which sometimes appears in
various forms of madness. Undoubtedly it
would be quite snug arrangement for the
impecunious farmer. That is obvious. But
how about the mechanic and the merchant?
Let us see: Some years ago this great and
muni6cent government gave that land to
those self-same farmers. In the
mutations of money lending it is well
known that fully half the borrowers
fail to repay; consequently they forfeit to
the lender the security pledged. Does
Uncle Sam need any more land9 Hardly.
He has not yet been able to get rid of all he
has to give dtCGy. Still, in the very prob
able event of a forfeiture, the government
would be compelled to take the land and

Then we should witness the rather ABSURD
spectacle of a trustee loaning trust funds
upon commodity he had previously giuem
away. But the proposition has a much
more practical aspect and application.
Why should the government favor farmers
above other citizens. or promote farming
more than other industriesi
If Farmer John Smith is to have a loan TO
provision and seed his farm for the years crop
why shouldn't Cobbler William Jones have
accommodation sufficient to buy stock of
leather; or Uncle Jasper Johnsing get a
a little 'sistance bout" laying in a supply of
whitewash to finish a job. All are tax.
payers and voters. Would you, Mr..
Farmer, consider it the proper thing for the
government to loan funds (made up from
taxes paid in by YOU to the merchants of
this country for the ostensible purpose of
promoting commercee Or loan to the
clergy for the purpose of diffusing christian
itya Or to blacksmiths and saloonists to
disseminate horseshoes and ruml
Very likely you would vigorously object
in either case. Still, any of these interests
have as much claim upon your taxes as you
have upon theirs. And no interest has any
right to be sustained at the expense of an
other. Hence the need for tariff reform.
