The second annual catalogue of the
Georgia Normal and Industrial college,
at Milledgeville, has just been issued
The college, it will be remem bered, is the
outcome of legislation enacted in the win
ter Of 1889 to supply the need of the state
for a model institution in which to
thoroughly fit her daughters for the prac-
teal affairs of life To particularize, the
purpose of the college is to prepare
Georgia girls to do intelligent work as
teachers, according to the best method
known to modern pedagogics; to earn
their own livelihood by the practice of
some one or another of those industrial
arts suitable for women to follow; to ex-
ert an uplifting and refining influence
upon family and society by means of
education; to become skillful in
in those domestic arts that lie at
the foundation Of all successful home
making. The school, to accomplish these
laudable objects, is divided into four
principal departments, the normal, the
industrial, the collegiate and the domes-
tic. These are sub-divided into minor
departments, and each principal and mi
nor department is under direction OF the
best available talent. That the college
was in demand, and was success from the
first, is attested by the fact that its first
session, which began on Sept. 30, 1891,
was attended by 80 young women, repre-
senting ninety-eight counties of the state.
The institution is one to be fostered by
the authorities and one in which the state
may take pride.

The Government and the Railroads.
10 would have been rather strange if
/ the populists had not determined 20 bring
before congress their scheme for giving the
government absolute control Of the rail
roads Of the country. According 20 our
dispatches yesterday, a bill to accomplish
that object win be introduced within the
next few days
As the populists point ont this scheme
it is likely TO meet with the approval Of
the holders Of the securities Of many of
the roads as well as of the railroad en-
ployes. There is no prospect, however,
that it will receive any par
ticular attention from congress.
Government ownership Of the railroads
does very well in a country that has a
monarchical form of government, because
there is no need for using the influence
and power of the roads to sustain the
party in power. But in this country the
placing of the roads in control of the gov
eminent would be almost if not quite,
equivalent to changing the form of the
government The party in Office with such
influence and power as the control of the
railroads and their hundreds of thousands
Of employees would give it could retain
control of the government indefinitely.
And party would be quick
to avail itself of the opportunity
to retain power, If the President were
strong and popular man he might be
elected more than twice, or even three
times. He would be in position to have
himself elected as many times as he de
sired. With such an army of govern
ment employees it would be possible for
the party in power to exercise a very
great influence in state as well as national
elections.
1t might be said that the employees
would be under the protection of the civil
service law, but it would be an easy mat
ter to repeal that law, or to evade it to
such an extent that the employees would
be anxious about their places, and would
be willing to aid the party in power rather
than risk being discharged.
The absolute control Of the railroads
by the government would tend towards
Capitalization. The national government
would reach out after additional power
and would get it. Eventually state gov
ernments would be so dwarfed that they
would amount to nothing practically, and
the national government would be of
overshadowing Importance.
This scheme to make the government
the owner of all the railroads is extreme
ly attractive to the populist. 1t was a
plank in their national platform last year,
and they still cling TO it as if they
thought it would bring their party into
prominence and popularity. Congress,
however, will hardly notice it. 1t is so
entirely impracticable that it is not enti-
tied to serious consideration.

view of the lynchings of colored men in

Two or three weeks agonews dispatches
from Raleigh, n. c., told of a small ex-
odus of colored families about to be made
to New York. An agent, a sleek tongued
white rascal had guaranteed" the
blacks splendid situations in New York
city at wages two or three times as great
as they could get in North Carolina. A
little later it was announced that num-
Der of the blacks had left to take the
''fat' jobs promised them. That was the
first chapter of the story. The second
chapter appeared in the New York papers
a day or two ago, and told how a number
of colored men from Forsyth and other
North Carolina counties We're walking

European physicians are discussing and
testing the efficacy of the carbonate of
gaiacol in the treatment of typhoid fever
1T is claimed by Nj. Holscher, of Null
helm" says the New York Herald, chat
in sixty cases of typhoid under his care
he employed the carbonate of gaiacol,
and that every patient recovered -
However, the opinion of the physicians
discussing the matter is that it will not
do to place too much faith in the remedy
at once. As to the nature of the drug
the Herald says: ''Gaiacol has an anti
septic action which certainly ought to
limit the raVages of the typhoid bacilli
on the intestines and to modify the dis
tressing symptoms of the fever in
favorable way. Combined with anti
thermic remedies the carbonate of gaia
col enables the physician, NJ Holscher
claims, to get along without the cold
bath in treating typhoid PATIENTS 1t is
to be hoped that the discussion and ex-
periments now going on will result in the
vindication Of gaiacol or the discovery of
something better to be used in typhoid
cases.
