AN ABSURD REPORT FROM THE
BUILDING INSPECTOR.


There viii, we imagine, be very few to
accept the theory of the building inspector
that the crumbling of piers in the George
block, on Second and Main streets, is a
delayed effect Of the earthquake" of two
months ago. As everybody knows the
so-called earthquake was q mere tremor,
so slight in fact that nine people out of
ten first learned of it by the newspapers
on the morning following. The vibration
was not greater than that experienced a
dozen times week upon the firing of
cannon from steamships in the harbor.
There was nothing like the .shake-ups"
common at San Francisco. 1t is absurd
to declare that the damage to the George
block could have resulted from this cause,
especially since the testimony of the lessee
goes to show that he examined the build
ing carefully after the 'sshock" and found
everything sound as usual. The damage
is due .uuQuestionably to the piling OF an
immense weight upon structure too light
to support it-either this, or the quality of
the material 10 at fault. This is a natural
and the only rational cause of the trouble.
Surely, If the earthquake were responsible
for this, it would have left its mark on
other buildings; but it did not. Not even
so much - . pane of glass was cracked
anywhere else-nor in the George block
for that matter. To charge this damage
up against an earthquake so slight that
few felt 1t, and 50 long past as to have
been almost forgotten, is simply to avoid
telling the truth that might expose the
culpability of the building inspector at the
expense Of the reputation of the city.

This II : restored, harmonious and In
destructible Union, " said Mayor Ciapp. Of
Memphis, Tenn. in his address Of well
come to President Harrison the other day.
Which be supplemented with the assur-
snce that II was his intention. and the in
tention Of those for whom he assumed to
speak, to b ssjust and law-abiding," linn
tied only by the paramount necessity for
maintaining their social purity" their
prestige, . and their supremacy
About the same time, in the adjoining
state and the next great city to the SOUTH
ward, was presented IN object lesson vivid
y illustrative Of the true import of these
remarks. At that time, in the neighbor-
ing city Of vicksburg. Mississippi. har-
mony, justice and the law-abiding spirit
were being exempiided In . manner by no
means complimentary, but rather in
manner grossly insulting to the parsonage
to whom Mayor Clapp was addressing
these remarks.
A few weeks before President Harrison
had appointed one Hill, resident and
taxpayer Of Vicksburg, citizen and q
native Of the United States. man Of fair
education, good morals and in every re-
spect OF good reputation, to be postmaster
at vicksburg. He has but one character
istic which Il Objectionable TO = portion of
this harmonious. just and law-abiding
community. He u not exactly black, but
his complexion is q few shades darker than
the true Caucasian tint.
Hence, according to dispatch of almost
even date with that which conveyed
Mayor Clapp's oratory. ''there is much
excitement in vicksburg over the colored
Postmaster Hin. He is at Jack
son, and there Is talk of danger TO him if
he goes to Vicksburg." On the same day
an interview with this refugee appointee
of the president was reported from Jack
son. He was very temperate and digni-
fed. He declared that he had no desire
to thrust himself upon the people of
Vicksburg against their protest. but be-
heved that many of the best citizens there
were disposed to accept the situation and
submit to the assumption of the Office to
which he had been appointed. He fur
ther declared that he had no desire to call
on the federal government for protection,
and expressed q hope that nothing of the
kind would be necessary.
But a. yet he has not returned to his
homo in Vicksburg, nor is it probable that
he would be safe in doing 50. The distri-
button Of vicksburg's mails, no matter
how faithfully and efficiently performed,
If done by citizen in the slightest degree
of color, would utterly defeat that 'spara-
mount aim" to which the ssintention to be
just and law-abiding" must ever be held
in subsection, and "social purity" "our
civilization" and Caucasian prestige
and supremacy" would be completely sub
verted.
If these are the conditions for which
hundreds Of thousands Of lives were sacri-
fced and billions Of treasure expended in
order to restore the Union and make it
indestructible, the restoration and indie
structibility are hardly worth Dragging
about These arc not signs of harmony,
love Of justice and law-abiding spirit
upon which the President Of the republic
may be congratulated.

The Atlanta Consultation of April IA re.
ports that two girls from the country, aged
fifteen and eighteen, were at the station
house, waiting to be sent to a convict
camp for term of six months for INSIDE
meanors. A boy, driven by hunger, aged
thirteen years, was sent to Jail tor stealing
three potatoes. but was saved from fur.
Their punishment by the interposition of a
humane citizen who went his bond, and
supplied him with food and clothing. An
other girl, seventeen years old, was Sent
fenced 10 the ehaim-gaas for eight months
for violating the prohibition laws Of
Habersham county. A boy. only ten years
old, who was sent to Jail and was awaiting
a decision whether he should be sent to a
reformatory or otherwise disposed of,
was caught in the act of robbing q post
office box. 1--WE have merely mentioned
few cases, says the Constellation, in report
ing the cases, land have no desire to give
q full list. !"
For one city not over populous and fairly
prosperous this would seem enough. and
the lack of inclination to enlarge upon ii
may be readily credited. Perhaps" says
that paper, these children, now that the
people know their situation, will find
friends and mercy" And then il iu-
dulges in these reflections: NO matter
how humanely our chain-gangs and con-
Wet camps are conducted, they are bad
places for girls and boys. When We take
. starving boy or q simple country girl
and send them to convict camp, we may
be administering justice. but il is semi
barbarous justice. 1t is not the justice Of
. Christian and civilized people"
While it may be admitted that crime
cannot be tolerated and criminals allowed
