A murder, which may be held by BE-
levers in the theory to prove the heredita-
bility Of crime, was committed in Newark. N
J.. last Saturday. The murderer was a lad of
Is years, and robbery was his object. He
lay in wait for his victim and beat him on
the head with one of those ugly rough oak
sticks that are used on bales of hay. When
apprehended he confessed the crime, ex-
planned his motive and gave the details Of
the murder. The child came OF bad stock,
directly through his father and indirectly
through his mother. His father was known
as a hard character, and ended his career in
suicide three months ago. His mother
appears to be good. we'll meaning woman
but two of her brothers are notorious burg
lars, who are now in states prison through
her fundamentally. She testified against
them on their trial for the double purpose
of seeing justice done and having them put
where their pernicious influence would not
touch and contaminate her boy-the boy
who is now a murderer.

The Georgia Bar Association.

The next annual session of the Georgia
Bar Association, which will be held in Ma
con June 1, promises to be of unusual inter
est. The annual address will be delivered
by a distinguished st. Louis lawyer and
papers upon interesting subjects will be read
by leading lawyers Of this state.
That the association does a good work
there is no doubt The tendency Of it is to
elevate the profession. All lawyers of the
state in good standing can become members
Of 1t, and those who do become members of
It are pretty certain to be men of high
character and Of at least respectable legal
attainmenss. Only such men are admitted
to membership or are permitted to retain
their connection with it. The names of
nearly all the lawyers of the state OF the
highest class are on its roll.
The objects of the association are In the
highest degree commendable. Among them
are the elevation Of the practice and pro-
fession OF the law, the eradication Of dis
reputable methods and practices at the bar,
the reform of judicial methods and the &C
CELEBRATION of legislation that will hasten and
make sure the course Of justice. These are
worthy objects and should have the encour-
agement of the best and most capable men
of the legal profession.
AS Savannah is noted for the high stand

able to expect that she will be we'll repre-

The River and Harbor Bill.

| Representative Holman attacked the
river and hsrbor bill mainly for the reason
| that it makes the government liable fol-
| S26, 900 900 more than the amount of the
| appropriations which it carries. He is one
| of that class Of men who cannot get new
idea into their heads. His craftsmanship
! consists in cutting down appropriations
without any regard TO the needs OF the OBJ
jects for which they are made. If bill
approprlates 500, 200 for an object, be is
pretty certain TO make a motion that the
amount be reduced one-half. even though
it be clearly demonstrated that
the full amount is required
to accomplish the object for which the APP
preparation is made. He has made his
reputation by always insisting upon what
is called his cheese>psring policy.
1t is true that the river and harbor bill
authorizes the Secretary of War to make con-
tracts for a very large amount of work upon
public improvements for which 1t carries no
appropriations, but the money for these con-
tracts will not have to be paid this year,
and perhaps not next. And
it is easily demonstrated that the
contracts which the Secretary OF War is
authorized to make will save the govern
ment between Sl5, 900 and 0,00O.000,
besides permitting the improvements TO
which the contracts relate TO be carried
forward very much more rapidly than
under the present system Of providing for
public works
What reason, then, has Representative Hol-
man or Representative Breckenridge or auy
other congressman to try to make it appear
that the river and harbor committee has
reported bill that far exceeds
any previous one in the amount Of
appropriations that 1t carries! 1t looks
very much as il Representatives Holman
and Breckinridge either do not understand
the policy that has been adopted by the
river and harbor committee or that they de-
defeating the bill on the ground that it is
extravagant hey ond all precedent.
For several years the river and harbor
committee has been told by engineers In
charge of public works that the present sys-
tenn of making river and harbor appropria-
tions Is a most extravagant one, be-
cause it does not permit continuous work
on public improvements. The stopping of
work for a year, or even a few months,
causes heavy losses because the improve
ments, in their unfinished condition, are
damaged by storms and tides and the plants
suffer injury from disuse.
The present river and harbor committee,
after careful investigation, adopted the
policy of authorizing the Secretary
Of War TO make contracts for
carrying on continuously important public
works It ought to have been adopted
many years ago. II it had been, the gov
ernment would now have much more to
show for the money it has expended upon
public improvements. 1t is strange, there
fore, that there should be found men Of
Intelligence and Judgment opposed to it.
1t is generally to be hoped that congress
will not follow the lead OF Representative
Holman in this matter.

The Kodak as a Fish Liar.

Talk about all the lies told about fish and
fishing" said the friend of writer in the Pitts
burg Dispatch, who knows what he is talking
about, 'the biggest fish liar is the kodak. The
kodak is silent liar. but it gets there as usual:
he merely rings in the kodak to swear to it. III
you get the picture of a fisherman and his fish
you've got the combination. Just lie down
with your feet toward the camera and have a
photograph taken of yourself and you'll under
stand, Your feet will appear bigger and longer
than your body.
when the fish liar wants northumberland
he always does want 1.-THE hangs up his fish a
little to one side and in front of him The ko-
dak does the rest. I've seen 5-pound fish
look four feet long and like it ought to weigh at
least fifty pounds, all by the artistic accuracy
of the kodak. To make fish look large All
you have to do is to get 1t well in the foreground
Of The object with which the eye makes invol
mary comparison. o, l tell you, the kodak
knows its business when il goes fishing"

The action Of the railroad commission of
South Carolina in prohibiting Sunday ex-
cursions, is an injustice not only to people
in Columbia aud Charleston, but in this
city as we'll. There are thousands of work
ingmen iu the three cities who never have
an opportunity to take an outing except on

Two Tariff Trusts.

The New York Merchants Review says
that the recently formed Rice trust has adj
vanced the price of cleaned rice and re
duced that of the raw material. Thus the
duty of two cents a pound on cleaned rice
which is pretended to be q part of the sc
called farmers tariff" is used by trust
to squeeze the farmers themselves. and is
made to do them more harm than good.
The same thing has happened in regard
to cigarettes. Mckinley raised the duty
the old tariff to an ad valorem duty of II:
per cent, to figure equal to 1873 per cent
This also was for the farmer; but what has
happened? The American Tobacco com
pany, otherwise known as the Cigarette
trust, was organized in 1890, the great yea
of McKinleyism, with a capital of So, 1000,
900, and includes 95 per cent. of all tn,
cigarette manufacturers in the country
In the fall of 1891 prices were advanced tt
the dealers in cigarettes, and system
of rebates" was instituted which put
them under the power of the trust.
But worse than this, the trust has re
duced the price of tobacco as bought from
the farmer The particular kind of to
bacco used in making cigarettes, tina
known as bright leaf" is put on sale il
the large tobacco warehouses of Virgins
and North Carolina, and the agents of tn
trust, appearing at the daily sales ant
finding few bidders besides themselves, ge
the farmers "bright leaf" at about two
thirds of the former price.
And yet there is a duty of thirty -fiv
cents pound on leaf tobacco to protect
the farmer.

IT may be that Secretary Tracy can
explain satisfactorily the charges which
the New York Herald daily reiterates,
that the change in the armor of the new
war vessels was made at the request of
the firms that make the armor, and that
it will put several hundred thousands OF
dollars in the pockets of the aforesaid
firms, but the ugly fact remains, that
up to the present time he has not done
so, and to attempt to pooh-pooh charges
made by so responsible u journal as the
Herald will hardly go down with an
intelligent public. The charge of ia
voritism, not to call it by a worse name,
has been specifically made, and nothing
short of an answer just as specific will
satisfy the unprejudiced public. II
Secretary Tracy can prove the Herald to
be wrong, it is a duty he owes to the
administration, as well as to his own
good name, to do so at once.
