A RIGHT MOVE.

The legislature has a bill before
it to change the law OF electing
judges and solicitors bv the general
assembly and give the Governor the
power to appoint these officers, sub
ject to the confirmation of the SEN
etc. This is move in the right
direction. The Governor already
has the power to appoint judges and
solicitors of city courts and the ex.
cellent appointments made in every
instance evinces the wisdom of the
plan. We believe the judgment OF
the Governor is equal to the duty
and that he would select and ap.
point the best, purest and most ca
pablo men to these Offices. It would
save time and expense and remove
the political "log rolling" for these
places in the legislature, where
many man is voted for by
the members of the legislature on
the consideration that ''you vote for
my man an6 will vote for yours
regardless of merit, ability or cor.
rect habits. The Governor would
ascertain all these facts before max
ing an appointment. He would be
Jealous of his reputation and the
cleanness of his administration and
could not afford to put an objection
able man in Office that couldn't fill
it creditably, acceptably and ably.
A man who occupies either one Of
the important offices of Judge and
Solicitor should be of the strictest
integrity, have thorough knowl-
edge of the law, courage to admin
lister it impairtially and Of the
utmost sobriety, otherwise the law
will be feebly and limpingly
enforced, and society will suffer for
want of adequate protection. Let
the Legislature give the governor
the appointing power for the filling
of these offices aud the result will
prove the wisdom OF the change.

BISHOP BECKWITH DEAD.

Right Rev. Bishop John w.
Beckwith is dead. He died at his
home in Atlanta on last Sunday
morning just as the sun cast its first
rays of light over the land. He had
an abscess on his face aud several
operations had been perfol med. 1t
was thought h. was getting better.
Saturday he was stricken with pa
ralysis,and it was evident that death
would speedily ensue.
Truly great man in Israel has
fallen. The Episcopal Church has
lost one CT it's grandest men. He
was pillar Of strength and strong
fortress of defense. He was truly a
consecatied Christian, whose great
heart loved humanity. The amount
of good he has done in the world is
incalcula0le. AS an orator he was
without a peer. There was an i'm
pressiveness of speech and elo-
quence of delivery that captivated
and enthused his hearers. His death
is public calamity, and will be a
source of mourning and sorrow
throughout the land.
He was born at Raleigh, N. c.,
on February 9th, 1881 and was SO
years old at the time of his death.

Last Thursday, while attempting
to put the belt on the Sucker" at
Henderson's gin at Adairsville,
James Moreland got his hand caught
between the belt and pulley, and
come very near losing his hand, but
by little forethought saved him
self. He cried out to the engineer
to stop, but he did not hear him,
and when he found out that the
engine would not be stopped, he
managed to get his knife out Of his
pocket and opened it with his teeth,
and then cut the belt. Nothing but
the presence of mind saved his arm
and probably his life.

A special from Atlanta to the
Athens Banner says: "Commiss.
sioner Nesbitt is the first state
house officer to get to work, and be-
gin to drop off extravagances in his
department. Mr.. Nesbitt began re-
ducing the fees of guano inspectors
from $1,000 to $1,000. They are
only engaged about three months in
the year and the salary fixed by the
commissioner is liberal enough. He
would have reduced their pay still
lower, was it in his power, for 5000
per month or 5000 year would be
generous pay. Another reform that
MIR. Nesbirt will inaugurate is to
curtail the fees of oil inspectors.
The inspector in Atlanta receives
$4,000 year for about three months
service, and all the other unreason-
able salaries. The commissioner is
anxious to have the legislature pass
bill permitting him to make new
appointments and fix salaries in.
stead of paying fees, in which event
he will be able to save the state
nearly half the expenses of his de-
partment. The present oil inspec-
tors have been appointed for four
years, but bill has already been
introduced to give the commissioner
power to select new officers.

THE CREED OF DEMOCRACY.

Hon. Don Dickinson, at the Thur
man banquet. speaking of the de-
mocracy of the future. said:
We believe in the intelligence
and honesty of American people.
We believe that the sole end of
legislation should be the greatest
good to the greatest number.
We believe that the management
of all domestic affairs should be left
to the states and in home rule in
the subordinate government within
the states.
We believe that there is no sover-
eighty except Elm the people, and
that the general government should
keep its hands of the elective fran
chise.
We believe that there is no power
in the legislative branch of the gen.
eral government except such has
been, or shall be, expressly delega-
ted to the congress by the constitu-
ton.
We believe the power to tax cannot
be delegated to favored individuals
or classes, and that no public treas
ure or;public domain should be gran
ted sway in subsidies or bounties.
With the faith, and because Of
this faith, the democratic party does
not die, but survives defeat, con-
tumely and even the penalty oil
grave mistakes.
The greathonest masses of repub-
lican party are coming to believe,
as they reflect on the cause OF its
survival, that the democratic party
will not and should not die.

COUNTRY SCHOOLS.

| In looking over our county, and
in fact we might say over the entire
state, there is painful restitution
as to our country schools.
Marietta, Acwcrth, perhaps some
other points in the county, have
good and regular schools all the
year. But many communities, and
some of the villages have no school
at all, unless it be three months
pubic school in a year.
1t is shame that parents take SO
little interest in the education of
their children.
| refer not now to higher collegi-
ate education, which if the privilege
Of only a few, hut to the training
which can be had in the high school.
The boy or girl who is pushed in
the high school until they obtain
thorough knowledge of the funda-
mentals, such as reading, spelling,
writing, grammar, arithmatic, &c..
has laid foundation upon which
they can build afterward by home
study if SO desired, or they are pre-
pared for ordinary business pursuits.
1t is like putting out the eyes of our
children to suffer them to remain in
Ignorance as to these things. They
will be cramped through life.
Is it not serious reproach to
any community to not provide them
selves with comfortable school hous-
es, and reliable schools? TO lean
on the state alone for the little sick
ly allowance, this mode for public
education is stupid and inexcusabIe.
Appropriate what the state does for
you, but do not be content to stop
there. See that the school is run at
least nine months in the year. And
where it is possible keep the scholar
in school with regularity.
The way to have good competent
teachers is to sustain them literally,
Not only sustain them financially,
but by concert of action, and in
matters of discipline do not stop the
boy or girl from school for frivolous
reasons.
If you do, you will break down
the school and ruin the child.
Discipline is getting too slack at
home as we'll as in the school. Let
the child learn early that he must
be subject to the 'powers that be. y
While we are thus bene6tting our
children, we are making the com
munity in which we live more at
tractive and holding out an incen-
tive to those who seek new homes to
live among US.
| 1t ought not to be necessary for
those who live in the country to
leave their homes, in order to get
school advantages by moving to
towns.
There ought to be a good school
in reach of every home.
How are these things to be attain
ed? 1t will take some money, but
it is the best investment that can
be made. Better than a cotton
factory or an alliance store. Better
than government warehouse to
store cotton in. O.! that the ALI.
ance would take hold of this and
push it as they have some other mat
tiers.
1t will require concert of action.
Let liberal and level headed men be
made trustees of these schools. Let
cranks and croakers retire to the
rear. Let our present system Of
public schools aid be altogether
abolished or the term at least dou.
bled.
Let leaders of thought in politics
in school conventions, in the press
and in the pulpit, stir the conscience
of the people as to this subject
here is field for revolution and
improvement, and it will come.

Gen. Miles Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1,-Major General
Nelson A. Miles, commanding the division
of the Pacific, has submitted to the adult
ant general his report.
General Miles says that the holding of
dlscontented and dsafected Indian tribes
on the San Carlos reservation, especially
along the ella river, which is unsuted to
them and often unhealthy, will always be
source Of danger and disturbance. AS
several OF the military posts and reserva-
tions in the department of Arizona have
been abandoned, the general recommends
that they be at once occupied by Indians,
or converted into industrial schools,
and that the Mojave, Tonti and
Yuma Indians be removed there
at once from the sickly Gila val
ley. The San Carlos Indians now
along the San Carlos river and the White
mountains should be located on a sutti
cient part of the reservation, and the re-
mainder of the reserve thrown open to
such use as can be made of it by citizens.
The tribes would be more easily con-
trolled when separated, and especially in
such region as they are now compelled
to occupy.
la conclusion Gen. Miles recommends
that sites for coast defenses be secured
without delay; that gun foundry be es-
tablished on the Pacific coast, and that
one-fourth of the appropriation required
for coast defense be made every year for
the next four years.

proposed line direct across country to
Albuquerque, N. NJ. This will give the
Santa Fe an air line from Kansas City to
Albuquerque, via southern Kansas, saw
ing between $50 to 200 miles over the
route via La Junta.
Boston. There is well founded rumor
that the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific
raj way is to reach Trinidad, Colo, in a
few months, in direct air line from the
east, through Kansas.
This road has just purchased a large
body of the finest coal lands surround
ing Trinidad, and is reaching out after
the enormous coal trade developing
there.
Boston. -- The Sinaloa & Duran
60 railroad comes to the front again,
through the organization by Mr.. f. d.
Adams, of New York, of an English COM
pany with e23l 900 capital stock, to be
issued at the rate of 1000 per mile and
subject to mortgage of $50 200 per mile,
of which 9l08, l40 stock is issued to take
over the Sinaloa & Durango Railroad com
pany, limited. The English company
offers to pay $40, $50 in its stock at par to
the Sinaloa & Durango company, and al
ready 80 per cent Of the subscribers have
deposited their receipts in accepting the
offer. This is Mexican Pacific coast
railroad, and it is believed to have sunk
what it cost, and considerable more.
Boston was heavily interested in it.
Topeka, Kas.-A stockholders meet
ins OF the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe
railroad was held yesterday. Only two
stockholders were present, and they held
the proxies Of a majority of the absentees.
The meeting was held to consider the
recent purchase of the Colorado Midland.
The purchase was ratified. The meeting
then adjourned.
A gentleman supposed to be posted in
the affairs Of the company said to-day.
"The stories current of dissatisfaction
in the Atchison board over the purchase
OF the Colorado Midland road are well
based, but the differences we're not so
serious but that the deal was approved,
which it might not have been quite so
unanimously if the representatives OF the
company who mad. the trade without
consulting some of their associates had
not committed the company to the under
taking There are indications that $40
per share cash was paid on the stock
before the proposition was submitted to
the board of directors. The manner in
which this trade was carried out indicates
the concentrated form OF the roads man
