The resolutions adopted by the business
men of Atlanta, Ca, against the federal
election bill contain this remarkable para
graph:
Whereas, The South under the constitution
and laws of the land is entitled TO the same rights
of local self government and home rule enjoyed
by any other section OF the country; therefore, as
loyal citizens Of the Union, standing by the con.
stution Of our forefathers, We do earnestly enter
our most solemn protest against the passage of
the force bill now before the Senate.
The concentrated misrepresentation con-
aimed within this paragraph could hardly
be excelled. The Republican party does not
deny to the South the rights of local self
government; and there is nothing in the
federal election which interferes in any way
with the local self government of the South.
The elections Of congressman are not local
but national elections. They are established
as such by the constitution and by the de-
cisions Of tie Supreme court of the United
States. Nothing is clearer than the right of
the United States to regulate the election of
congressman.
What the people Of Atlanta designate as
"home rule" is the right of white man in
Georgia to have twice as much voice in the
election of congressman as white man in
Maine or Massachusetts,; and then for that
congressman to go to Washington and vote
for free trade, State sovereignty or any other
doctrines that are distasteful to the mass
OF the people of Maine and Massachusetts.
"Home Rule" means the rule of your
neighbors In the sense in which the At
lanta resolution uses it.

Then, too, the rapid changing from horse
cars to electrics makes 1t necessary to put
men on the new cars to ''drive" them before
they have fairly learned the business. AS a
consequence they lose their heads in an
emergency and do just the wrong thing.
There will be accidents, of course, until the
motor men learn their business in all its de-
tails and until the public learns to take no
undue liberties with the cars. But it seems
as If the West End company lis not fur
thering its own best interests in refusing In
formation concerning the accidents. as they
have begun to do. The electric car is COM

they may be guarded against.

THE pARTITIONING OF AFRICA.

The plan of settlement between England
and Germany in Africa which was published
Yesterday appears to be authentic, based as 1t
is upon Lord Salsburys dispatches and the
official Berlin Reichsanzeiger." While agree
ing largely with the plan published last week
by 1.-THE st. James's Gazette,' it is much more
comprehensive than the latter and IN some I'M
portant particulars far less favorable to Eng
land. Some of its provisions indeed, bld 1air
10 arouse a storm of indignant protests in Eng
land and may seriously affect LORD SALISBURY
political prestige, unless, as IS by no means
improbable that astute diplomat shall yet
bring forward a strong trump card which ne
has not vet shown. There ae some portions
of the published plan sufficiently indetcrminate
to admit of such thing; and there are I'M
portant matters yet to be settled in Africa
that are not even mentioned in 1t.
According 10 this plan, the boundary line be-
tween the English and German possessions
runs as described last week, from the Congo
State along the first parallel of south latitude
70 the eastern shore of Victoria Lake, and
thence southeast to the coast at Wanga IN
about four degrees south latitude. All Ger
man claims north of this abandoned IN
favor of England including With and the en-
tire coast from With to and around Cape
Guardafui to Bunder Ghasin on the Gulf Of
Aden-a stretch of nearly 1000 miles. Ger
MANY also appears to have renowned in Eng
lands favor any claims it may have had upon

far. all is well for England; and the same may
be said of the terms made at the south OF the
German territory, where England retains the
Stevenson road, and where that road, Lake
Tanganyka and Lake Nyassa mark the south
ern limits of German possessions, giving Eng
land a free hand around Lake Moero, Lake
Bangweolo, and clear down to Matabeleland
and the territory of the British South African
Company.
But now comes the rub or the first part OF
it. From Mount Mfumbiro southwark to Lake
Tanganyka, the German territory abuts dI-
rectly upon the Congo State, thus forming an
alien barrier clear across the continent be-
tween the British East African Company at
the north and the British South African Com
pany and the Cape Colony at the south And
this is something that will be vigorously OBJ
iected TO in England. What has been wanted
is to get actual possession of continuous strip
of territory from the Soudan to the valley of
the Zambesi by way of the lakes, between the

TRIEMPU1N DEMOCRACY.

A story comes from Sundancc, Wis. which is
perhaps, the most pathetic thing which has found
it's way into the press for months. The account
first reached the public through the columns of
The Chicago Tribune but its simple pathos is
making for it n place in the newspapers through
out the land The Tribune has already given
space to ii once but cannot refrain from printing
it again 1t is an extract from letter received
by Laird & Whiting prominent periodical dealers
of Chicago, from leading Democrat in Sun
dance, and runs as follows:
Please send me 100 Autographs OF Cleveland and
Thurman's cabinet. 1 have some OF the old pictures
Of cleveland and Hendricks, and their Cabinet but
have not 80 far seen any Of Cleveland and Thurmans
Cabinet. de- not know what they viii cost, but send
them by expires, G. O. d. at once We want them
10 whOop up the campaign Whch VIII begin WIN us
about the Isl Of August.
We can scarcely conceive of a man so hardened
that he could read this without emotion. Think
for a moment Of the feelings of this sturdy up
holder of the principles of Democracy when, sitting
on n Goldfish crate in his store, he reads Laird x
Writings reply and the whole truth Is borne in
unon him Consider for moment his varied
emotions as he pcruses the leter-how, at the
first reading he rejects the base insinuation that
Cleveland and Thurman were not elected; how, at
the second reading, horrible suspicion begins to
rise within him how hope leaves him utterly at
the third reading and the sheet drops from his
across the street and asks the justice of the peace
ii he has heard anything about it! There are heavy
hearts to-day in Sundance, Wis. Would it not be
a graceful thing for Mr.. Cleveland to write one
of his well-knOwn personal letters TO his Badger
State supporter, expressing sympathy for him and
giving him the returns?
The case would not be so bad were not the
writer so evidently in earnest. Send me 100
Autographs he says. This is a large number for
n small place like Sundance, and shows that he
is not afraid 20 spend his money. Il have some
of the old pictures OF Cleveland and Hendricks
and their Cabinet" he continues, but he is not
the man 10 get behind the times ike that. These
will not do-thcy have had their day. Il have
not SO far seen any of Cleveland and Thurman's
Cabinet still he knows that such things must
be in existence and he is going 10 have them, Tor

ART MIST Be FREE.

The Republican party is pledged by the pat
form on which President Harrison and the pres
cnt majority Of the House were elected to carry
ont tho policy Of reducing the surplus revenues
and preserving the protective character OF the
tariff. That is the broad principle on which
tho Mckinley bill was framed. The excmp-
ton Of Statuary and paintings in oil ana water
colors from duty illustrates both phases of this
policy. The duty of 80 per cent was taken
off in order to lessen the Governments sur
plus revenues. Art was made free because the
tax was not in any sense protective one nut
one levied for revenue only. That duty has
meyer been of the slightest advantage 10 Amcr-
can artists. II cannot be justified on any other
ground than extreme and urgent need OF reve-
