Friends of theinternational copyright law
have another attack of depression. By the
adoption of an amendment the way is
opened for amendments without limit,
which may result disastrously for the bill.
This photographic amendment, as it is
called, according to a Washington dispatch,
provides that the law shall apply to charts,
engravings, musical compositions, litho-
graphs and photographs copyrighted in the
United States the same as to copyrighted
books-that is, that the work shall be exc
cuted in this country. Friends of the bill
opposed this amendment because its adop-
ton at this late day would send the bill to
conference, and cause it again to run the
gauntlet of another passage in the House.
But the photographers are well organized.
They had the opponents of the bill in the
Senate as nucleus to begin with, and, in
addition to these, they enlisted the sympa>
thies of such clever debaters as Frye, Hale,
Mcpherson, Ingalls, and Henderson, and in
this way gradually developed sufficient
strength to carry their point. Still the
copyright workers will continue the strug-
gle and may win. There is nothing like
persistence.

Gov. Northen and Mr. aould.

II
The majority of the Georgia members Of
congress. according to our dispatches, do
not approve of the reasons given by Gov.
| Northen for his refusal TO be present at a
reception in Atlanta in honor Of Mr.. Gould.
II they had known that the governors letter
to Mayor Hemphil was a private one they
would not have expressed any opinion at
all, probably, about the matter.
There was no reason why the governor
should have assisted in receiving Mr.. Gould
If he did not want to. If Mr.. Gould had
been in Atlanta in an official capacity the
case would have been different he was
there, however, simply as a private citizen,
looking after his own interests, and not the
interests of the people. The governor, there
fore. was under no obligation to show him
attention.
The governor would not have made pub
lie his reasons for not wishing to meet Mr.
Gould had not sensational stories relating TO
the matter been put into circulation. His
reasons, however, are such as be had
right to give if he was sincere, and there is
no ground for doubling his sincerity It
is true that his understanding Of Mr..
Gould's business methods may not be the
correct one. Most men in Mr.. Gould's
position are targets for the malice and envy
of those who are not successful in their
business undertakings, and it may be that
much that has been said about Mr.. Gould's
methods has every little foundation in
fact. But, whether it has or not,
there was no imperative reason why the
governo should go out of his way to show
him respect. Capitalists of more or
less prominence are visiting Atlanta all the
time. and the governor does not make
special effort to show them attention; and
there was no reason, therefore, why he
should have done anything to indicate that
he honored Mr.. Gould more than other bust
ness men who are not 30 rich.
1t is pretty safe to say that the governor
bad no intention &c make capital out of his
refusal to meet Mr.. Gould. He simply did
what he felt was right. And feeling as he
did he would not have been true to himself
If he had acted otherwise. But if he had
known that his letter containing his refusal
would have been male public he would not
have put anything in it that could have
been construed as offensive to Mr.. Gould.
Mr.. Gould and his friends have no occa-
sion to feel aggrieved, and it is probable do
not feel so. II Mr.. Gould is a straightfor-
ward business man, and is deeply interested
in Georgia's prosperity, he will be able in a
little while, with the interests he has in
Georgia railroads, to convince the governor
that the governors opinion of his business
methods is an incorrect one. No doubt the
governor, if convinced of his error, would
be prompt to repair any wrong he may
have done Mr.. Gould.

JUDGE speer's suspensions.

1t looks very much as if the subcommittee
OF congress which hos been investigating
the charges of Irregularities in the admins
tration of justice in the federal courts had
gone out of its way to make an attack upon
Judge Speer. In our Washington lis
patches yesterday it YVES stated that the
subcommittee in its report quoted United
States District Attorney Hill as saying that
Judge Speer had ian unrivaled recordn
for suspending sentences in cases of persons
convicted and releasing such persons from
custody.
In statement made by Judge Speer,
which is published in another column of
this issue, the reasons for the suspensions
with which he is charged are given, and
they are good reasons. II they had been
presented to the subcommittee of congress
that committee. doubtless, would not have
thought it necessary to mention Judge
Speer's name in its report.
Judge Speer was not the judge Of the dis
trict in which the suspensions complained
of occurred. He was acting for Judge Nc
Cay, who was too ill to discharge his official
duties. And because Judge McCay had
SSOAA
court for long time a great many men
| charged with offenses against the
internal revenue laws had been
confined in Jail for months.
The Jail was not an inviting one Its sani-
tary condition was bad and sickness pre-
vailed among the prisoners to an alarming
extent. Their Imprisonment through hot
summer was, therefore, asevere one. Indeed,
it was so severe that some of them died.
And their imprisonment was endured before
the question of their guilt had been deter
mi led.
1t seems, therefore, that in suspending
sentence in their cases Judge Speer was in
fiuenced by feeling that they had already
been punished enough. That he was not
influenced by any improper motive is shown
quite conclusively by the fact that there are
no charges Of irregularities in the admins
tration of justice in the district of which he
is judge.

Whether it is really true OF merely be-
cause there has been disturbance of the
friendly relations between Lecturer Stanley
and Manager Pond cannot be definitely
determined, but the manager absolutely
denies that Stanley is to give any of his
mementoes TO Gen. Booths Salvation Army
scheme. Not only that. but he laughs at
such an idea, and says that Stauley's
trophies would not amount to $4,000 in
value, much less the $4,000 named. That
doesn't finally settle the matter, however.

Without doubt Pittsburg is the only
city in the union where 'ladies drive
trucks" They are passing fair to look upon,
too, If the taste and statements of the Pitts
burg Dispatch are to be credited. 1t says
that "any early riser in Pittsburg may see
ladies driving the trucks, on the streets
leading to the markets, quite as skillfully as
men. There is no disgrace in it, either.
Many of the foundry girls and lady truck
drivers are educated and clever, and,
dressed up after their work, very fair to
look upon" New fad, that, for ladies.

There is travelling man in the south

Naturally enough be is mad clear through.
Writing to the MORNING NEWS from
Thomasville, here is the energetic way in
which he describes his experiences: "For
the good Of poor folks, sinners and fools,
please warn them against set of gentle
manipulating thieves going through
Georgia with loaded dice. They pulled my
leg for $50, and 1 have seen three other
fools who shared similar fate at the hands
OF the gang" That should teach the &C
quisitive not to monkey with the dice when
they have spots on them.

If Speculation Owenby's statements are
to be credited he was merely made scape-
goat for the sins of guilty congressman and
a very badly treated man generally. But
the Spartan virtue that he boasts of in re-

bad Nebraska congressman is certainly not
altogether compatible with the character
given him by his acquaintances.
