fies on this text by asserting that the
Georgians twill break potato on the
Corinthian forehead Of Tom Watson l
They are even capable of scrambling
eggs in the ambrosial hair of General
Gordon himself" Supposing it to be so,
it remains the fact that this forcible
method of discussing political issues
is one of the characteristics of the
Solid South. A political interest which
finds its strength in the solidity fostered
by such methods is tainted as the rot
ten eggs clear up to the summit of the
edifice.
Yet it is remarkable example of politi-
cal blindness that General Weaver will
continue as candidate to serve the inter-
ests of the party whose strength lies in the
very intolerance of which he is victim.
The utmost expectations of success for
the Peoples party only comprise the hope
of throwing the election into the House
and making Democratic supremacy GER
tain. 1t might be supposed that General
Weaver after his experience would con-
ceive of no more important issue than that
this country shall not be governed by the
suppression of free discussion. Yet up to
this time no intention has developed on
his part of abandoning the position of ten
der to Democratic victory.
Yet such demonstration of the Demo-
cratic spirit in the South can hardly fail
to have some effect on his followers It Is
hardly possible that the ex-Republican
members of the Peoples party can now be
deluded into voting for Democratic su-
premacy by roundabout course.

JUDGES AND GERRYMANDERS.

Another gerrymander is likely to be
wiped out by the courts. The Wisconsin
decision yesterday, while not final, holds
that the Supreme Court has jurisdiction
and that the demurrer on which the Dem
ocratic cause was based is unfounded.
1t is legitimate Inference from this rul-
ing that if the Wisconsin apportionment
is proved to be unfair the court will va
cate it
In the series of decisions by which the
courts have asserted their right to ratify
the dishonesty of what is known as gerry
Wandering, there is an excellent illustra-
ton of partisan greed overreaching itself.
The Democrats when they gained the Leg
islature in various States found appor-
tionments which they were justly entitled
to correct. But in correcting the unfair
ness of Republican apportionments they
went so far beyond the vicious in
struction of their opponents that they
called down the interference of the courts.
If they had made reasonably fair appor-
tionments they could have preserved
them. But as they adopted the game of
grabbing everything they could without
regard to fairness they have provoked the
decisions which restore the old districts
and leave the partisan redistrictors much
worse off than if they had taken the honest
course.
Besides this illustration of natural
Justice, there is ground for satisfaction in
the establishment of a judicial check on
gerrymandering THE DISPATCH has
often shown that this is vice which is
nearly as bad in one party as in another.
1t is the outgrowth of the partisanship on
both sides which puts party interest above
public duty. With the knowledge that if
their work is not of character to stand
judicial scrutiny, the future redistrictors
will be obliged either to keep their work
within the bounds of fairness or to be sure
that they have got the judges before they
enact their gerrymanderS

A QUARANTINE OBJECT LESSON.

The last state of things at the New York
quarantine is a strong object lesson in
favor of a uniform quarantine under ma
tional control. We say this with a due
recognition of the fact that taking all
things under consideration the quarantine
at New York has registered practical
success. Up to the present time it has
served the grand object of keeping the
cholera out of the country in epidemic
form. That there have blunders and even
failures in caring for the quarantined peo-
pie may fairly be credited to the incom-
plete arrangements under which the work
was commenced and the haste with which
the service had to be organized. But with
full praise for the great fact that the quar-
antine has arrested the disease at our
gates and nearly stamped it out among
the infected, the necessity for more uni
form arrangements is shown when the
eminent heads of the quarantine service
fall to hurting vituperous language at
each other.
This IS the last result Of that divided
authority which has produced friction
ever since the work has been in operation.
DR.. Hamilton, in charge of the Govern
ment service, having criticised some of the
arrangements under the municipal service.
DR.. jenkins comes to the front with evil
dences of exacerbated temper His most
parliamentary expression concerning DR..
Hamilton's statements is that they are not
true; while the more ample way of reliev-
ing the feelings of the municipal Health
Officer is employed in declaring that one
of DR.. Hamilton's assertions is ga lie;"
that another is ''another lie," and that he
should not be so dishonest"
This is to be deplored for q double
reason. In the first place there is the

words to that intent.
Even if the result of 'heaving rocks at
him." which was produced in the case
reported by Truthful James, does not fol-
low at New York, it is plain that the
scientific authorities are transgressing
the proprietles. Moreover the leading
object of discovering and quarantining
The cholera is not to be subserved when
the divided power develops to the extent
of unparliamentary expressions in the
plain Anglo-Saxon.
We think that one result Of the cholera
campaign will be the establishment of a
uniform and well-equipped quarantine
service backed by the national authority
at every frontier.

WEAVER AND THE DEMOCRATS.

The experience of General Weaver In
Georgia is a proof that the old idea of
suppressing free political discussion by
mob law is still rife there. The spectacle
of a political candidate silenced by the
disorder of gangs is heightened by the
fact that women at his meetings were
made the targets for missiles. General
Weaver has been driven. to leave Georgia,
and thus presents a practical evidence
that the Solid South rests on the suppress
sion of free speech.
Two cotemporaries, the Birmingham
Age-HerGld and the Washington Post, pre-
sent plea in extenuation for this con-
duct The Southern paper says that the
Georgians treated Weaver precisely as
trey treat their own eminent politicians"
and that General Weaver was not the
first man to smell decayed hen fruit in
this campaign in Georgia He was merely
a victim of one of the customs of the
country" The Washington Post ampli-

FOUND IN THE FOREST.
Little Alice Czoja Turns Up Alive just as
the Search Was Abandoned.

Little Alice Czoja Turns Up Alive Just as
the Search Was Abandoned.
HAzLEroN, Sept. N.-ISpeciol. l-After all
hopes of finding Alice Czoja alive were
iven up, and the search for her body in the
mountains was about abandoned, she turns
up unexpectedly alive and we'll. Shortly
after midnight, whom an Hungarian miner
was returning home after a long tramp
through the mountains, he was startled by
faint cry on tho edge of the woods near
Ebervale. After listening short time he
was sure he heard a child sobbing, and
darted off in that direction.
The noise he made seemed to have fright
ened the child, as no more sobbing was
heard, and the man was about leaving the
SPOT when he espied almost beneath his feet
the childish form huddled closely under
log. He picked her up in his arms and
started OF on a run for the Czoja house,
miles away. The mother on beholding her
lost darling was so overjoyed, she swooned
and had to be carried to her room. The JOY
GUS news was quickly spread throughout the
village and general jubilee was held. To
day the Hungarian miners, with whom
Alice had always been favorite, took time
to leave their work and join in the celebra-
tion of the recovery of their little pet. The
little one is well and happy and none the
worse after her five days siege in the
mountains.

with sympathy and regret we will gladly
state what we know of that body.
The Commission was last heard of at
Chicago struggling with the task of trying
to make law-breaking railroad officials
produce the evidence of their offenses.
That was not very long ago; and at that
time it presented the case which the
gods are said to view with interest
of good men struggling against ad
verse odds. At present, as the
Reoieso very strongly asserts, the Commis-
sion is not giving any very good demon
stration of its right to exist. But there
are large number of reasons for that,
some of which are not its fault In that
class is the leading one that it is. matched
against the corporate powers at too great
odds. The offense which the Interstate
commerce law tried to curb having been
illegal from the first, we had the spectacle
presented of five men set to the task of
bringing into subsection class of respec-
table law-breakers whose powers may be
expressed in its capitalization of S10,0O0,-
OOO, 900. 1t was only question of time
until those inveterate offenders should
discover that they could defy the inter-
State commerce statute with little more
difficulty than attended the violation of
common or State laws before 1t was
passed.
1t is true that the Commission has aided
this discovery by the manifestation of
its opinion that it was at liberty to refrain
from enforcing one section of the law and
to construe others out of existence. 1t
did the latter with the famous long-and-
short-haul class for a time, and
1t has steadily declined to
take any action against violators
of the section against pooling. With that
predisposition it is not strange that it
should fight shy of the Reading deal,
although in its decision in the Coke case it
laid bare the basis of the extortion on
which the anthracite combination bases its
existence, and was confronted with a
peculiarly impressive example of the
corporate powers which defy its findings.
But while the Commission may not have
demonstrated itself very powerfully,
people who are willing to fight for their
rights may get some comfort from the fact
that the courts are open to them. If rail-
road corporations will obey neither the
Commission nor the courts the question is
whether the people cannot adopt more
stringent measures

GREAT MAP OF THE WORLD.
A Geographical Scheme In Which An
Leading Nations Are to Take Part.


A Geographical Scheme In Which An
Leading Nations Are to Take Part.
New York SUM-
At the Geographical Congress in Berne q
year ago Prof. Penck proposed the publica-
tion of map OF the entire world on q
uniform scale of in l,0OO, 900, or about l6
statute miles to the inch, the various nations
to take part in the production of the map.
The proposition was favorably entertained,
and committee was appointed to take
steps for its realization. The Uographers
Of various nations, on the whore, have re-
ceived the idea with favor, and there seems
to be no doubt that the map will be pro-
duced.
Each sheet of the map up to 600 N. lat.
will embrace 80 in each direction. The more
northern sheets Will embrace 100 Of longf-
tude. The representation OF the whole
earth, including the sea, will require 93S of
these sheets while the land alone may be
shown on 769 sheets. It is proposed to give
great attention to physical and political
features. DR.. Ravenstefn, the English map
maker, says the rivers will be in blue and
the hills in brown. Contour lines will be
drawn at elevations OF 100, 900, 800 and 200
meters, and the areas inclosed by them are
to be tinted.
1t is expected that sheets which deal with
countries already geographically surveyed
will be engraved on copper. The remaining
sheets will probably be autographed. The
Greenwich meridian will be accepted for
the entire map, ana all attitudes are to be
marked in meters. The official spelling Of
all countries using the Latin alphabet is to
be retained. Other alphabets are to be
translfterated in accordance with a system
to be agreed upon, while names in unwritten
languages will be spelled phonetically. 1t Is
estimated that the cost of an edition of l, 900
copies of this map, showing only the land
surface, will be $957. .l90 and as the sale of the
first edition at shtllings sheet would pro-
duce only S47S, ,595. the deficit would have to
be made up by the Governments concerned
or by liberal private patrons.
Prof. Ravenstein says he sees nothing
Utopian In the scheme. Difficulties may
arise as to the spelling of the names and the
Introduction of the meter. but the essential
thing, to his mind, is the production of .
map on a uniform scale.

The Tourist Tries the Guide.

The Intelligent tourist has great deal of
fun with the guides and the guidebooks; the
formers pen and tongue are never tired of
telling how unreliable and perfunctorily
stupid the latter are. What the guides
think of the tourists is not so often chron-
icled- wonder what the canny old Scotch
man who was expounding the wonders of
the Lachine Rapids to a party of Pittsburg-
ers this summer thought of one of them.
The old guide had explained that while it
was possible for vessels and RATS to go
down the rapids, nothing ever tried to come
up but assembled by the canals.
"Do the RATS come back by the canals 2"
asked a sane and lully developed man.
The guide only looked q reply, and it came
dangerously near profanity even then.
