NANCY is HARD TO BEAT.
A Few Comparisons for Rivals to the
CentraPs Flyer

Somebody sent Chief Clerk D. II. Blythe
wood, of the Central Railroad passenger
department, a clipping from a Brunswick
paper yesterday containing tho following
statement:
Il met jolly Supervisor W. II. Osborne,
of the Brunswick and Western, the man
who bears the proud distinction of keep
ing up the best road-bed in the south,
and makes it easy for trains to skip
along at the rate of fifty miles an hour
without thought of doing anything TO
brag on, but it is a truth that any Of the
Brunswick and Western passenger trains
ont run the famous Nancy Hanks, and
people along the line would not be
startled at a seventy mile schedule. 1t
may be well said that anything on the
Brunswick and Western goes"
This irritated Mr., Bythewood a little
and he proceeded to get up the following
comparison:
The fastest train on Brunswick and
Western railroad leaves Brunswick 20
P. m. and arrives at Albany (170 miles, at
40 a. m. Time hours and so minutes
The Nancy Hanks leaves Savannah at
a. m, and arrives at Macon, Q9l miles )
at II n. m, time hours, and at Atlanta,
goa miles,) at AS p. m. Time 6 hours
and IS minutes.
The Nancy Hanks makes 204 miles in
minutes less time than the Brunswick
and Western train makes 10 miles.

years, against her husband, Plutarch

number of years ago, and who is we'll

Mrs. TimaYenis charges her husband
with dCsertion. In her bill for divorce
she alleges that it is burden 10 her to

and prays for the custody of their three
children
The husband who is charged with de-
serti0n has won Els spurs in literature,
and is classed among the eminent author
tiles on philology in this country De-
spite his learning it appears his inteIi-
gence has not been tempered with love,
and the treatment of his wife has not
been in keeping with the promises made
at the altar. The sympathy of the COM

OF getting on or of vessels, and passen-

Extortinr Evidence.

Not long ago an English magistrate ut
tered singing rehuke to the police au
thorities for extracting from prisoners
taken into custody, admissions that were
used against them when brought into
court. He acclaimed against this GUS
tom, which he said was growing among
the police, and he ruled that such testi-
nony as was based on those admissions
was not competent in evidence.
Therein is a striking difference between
the English and French systems of jur-
prudence. In France such admissions
are not only valid as evidence, but pris-
oners are interrogated by the courts and by
the public prosecutors SO that everything
bearing upon the question of their guilt
may be elected That may seem proper
viewed from the standpoint of the tri-
bunal established to detect and punish
crime.
But the great principle on which the
Englisis and American procedure is
founded, is that the accused is presumed
to be innocent until his guilt is estab-
lished and that he shall not be required
to criminate himself.
There is little difference between re-
quiring defendant to testify as to his
own case in court, and extorting from
him admissions in private that may be
used against him in court. There is too
much OF the latter in this country. Very
often prisoners are pumped by the
officers who had them in charge and led
on to make admissions that are used to
their injury when on trial. That is con-
trary to the spirit of the principle we
have quoted and ought not to be en-
couraged.
Voluntary admissions by prisoner
and voluntary testimony by defendant
are different, of course. 1t is only the
practice of extorti.g confessions and
trapping prisoners into such admissions
that we object to, and we think the
English Justice was right in his rebuke
and righteous in his ruling.

Republican papers are deScanting on
the blessings of s'free sugar. They
claim that taking the duty off sugar saved
the people of the United States $50, 900, coo
year. They are warning the country
against the expected restoration of the
duty by 8 Democratic Congress, and fore
shadowing the great calamity that will
result. Their sympathy for the poor who
will have this great burden re-imposed
upon them is truly pathetic, and enough
to bring tears from the eyes OF sugar
beet.
Now if placing sugar on the free list
was really such a boon to the buyers,
why will not placing some other articles
of common consumption on the free list
add to the great popular benefits enjoyed
from that source? If free sugar saves the
country SO much, why would not free
wool be an additional saving?
Suppose it is true, which we do no t
admit, that free wool would lower the
profits Of the sheep industry, should not
the benefit of the whole country be
studied rather than the interest of few
people comparatively, whose business is
very lucrative? 1t is poor rule that will
only work one way, and miserable pol
icy that is only good as to one article.
But let US look little closer at this
free sugar boast of the Republicans which
is standing contradiction OF their own
theory of protection. Refined sugar is
still taxed half cent pound. That is
the kind that enters into common con-
sumption. The tax was taken oil raw
sugar for the benefit of the sugar trust.
1t gave them free raw material. They
saved on it two cents pound and lowered
tine price on granulated or refined sugar
one cent a pound. Who gained the
great result?
When the sugar bounty is taken into
consideration, costing the country about
s12 900, 600 per aunum, and the alleged
benefits to the public in the reduction O.

In Small Business.

On Memorial Day Governor MCKINLEY,
when addressing an assembly at Indian
apolis, stated that the soldiers who
fought for the Union did not enter the
service with s'the hope of spoil,'' which
no doubt was in the majority of instances
entirely true. But he added: '"There is
a sentiment abroad in the land that that
glorious army was gotten together and
equipped for the sole purpose of securing
pensions. 1 have no patience with such
a sentiment.
The gentleman might have spared
himself his Impotence and the
utterance of such buncombe.
There is no such sentiment
abroad or at home in the land. He was
attempting a fling ct the pension reforms
which have commenced, and which have
been called for as much by the real heroes
of the civil war as by any of the poll
ticlans who see their necessity.
That glorious army was not ''gotten
together and equipped for the sole pur-
pose of securing pensions,' nor was it
organized that frauds and dead beats and
dishonest claim agents might take advan-
tage of the patriotism of the true defend
ers OF their country, to rob the nation
and make the pension list in some re-
spects roll of dishonor. There is no one
accusing the soldiers who fought and
bIed in the war with enlisting for pen
sion, or of doing anything dishonorable
since the war in presenting their just
claims for services.

if free raw materials are beneficial to the
country in one line of industry they
would probably be beneficial in others.
Also that tariff reform if necessary and
good in one instance is likely to be good
as to others. And it is not very con-
sistent to oppose what is called Stree

same time boast of its astonishing benefits
in one particular.
