Prosperous Georgia Farmers.

In a conversation in Macon day or two
ago Mr.. J. o. Waddell, president of the
State Agricultural Association, is report
ed to have said, after a visit to several
sections of the state, that the "barns and
storehouses of the farmers abound with
food" In his opinion the average con-
dition of the farmers is better now than
at any other time since the civil war.
This is certainly a gratifying state of
affairs, and the farmers have reason to
be grateful. While the farmers of Eng
land, France and Germany are threatened
with the loss of their crops and stock on
account of the long drought, they have an
abundance for man and beast. The truth
is the farmers of Georgia and of other
southern states have been diversifying
their crops during the last two or three
years more than ever before, and con-
sequently their material condition has
been steadily improving. They have
given more attention to stock and food
crops and therefore have had to buy less
corn, hay and bacon. Many who were
accustomed to give their whole attention
TO what they called a '"money crop" and
to purchase their food supplies now pro-
duoe their own supplies. A large per
centage of them produce surplus of food
crops.
The farmers have also been more eco
nomical in the last year or two in their
purchases. They have cut off the Injuries
and contented themselves with necessa-
ries. The wisdom of their course is now
apparent. Free from burdensome debt
and having ample supplies together with
fair prospect of abundant fall crops,
they have reason to regard the future
with satisfaction.

Tt Was a Failure.

Notwithstanding the fact that Sunday
was a beautiful day in Chicago there were
comparatively few people at the fair. At
least 100, 900 visitors were expected The
paid admissions were about 81, 900 The
city is crowded with visitors, and why
there was not a crowd at the fair is one
of the things for which the managers
have no explanation. Even the Midway
Plaisancc, where there is always a crowd
when any considerable number is in at
tendance at the fair, had lonely and de-
serted appearance.
There were many thousands Of people
in the parks and at other resorts about
the city, showing that the people were
out seeking recreation. 1t was supposed
that Chicago people. especially were
extremely DESTROYS of having the fair
opened on Sundays The small atten-
dance last Sunday seems toindicate that
now that they have the privilege for
which they clamOred they don't care to
avail themselves of it.
However, the managers think there
will be a good crowd at the fair next
Sunday, and, the following Sundays.

T. is quite certain that if the President
thought The financial affairs Of the country
were ia o condition that needed prompt
legislation 10 prevent widespread financial
disaster he would not hesitate to call con-
gross together in either July or August. 1t
has been understood all along, and it is
understood now, that he proposes to call
congress in extra session Just as soon as
he thinks it wise to do so 1t would
be useless to have an extra session unless
it were certain that congress
would repeal the silver pur-
chase act. The President would
have called an extra session Immediately
after March 4, had henot been satisfied
that the prospect of a repeal Of the silver
purchase act was not organising And if
he were absolutely certain that a major
ity of the Senate and the House would
vote for the repeal of that act if congress
were convened, it is quite safe to say he
would not hesitate about calling an extra
session Immediately,
There is a pretty general belief that
majoritylof each,EIouse favor the repeal
of the act, but it is not certain they do.
The President could make no greater mis-
take than to call congress together to re-
peal that act before it is ready to 90 so. 1t
is to be presumed, therefore, that he
thinks the safer course is not to convene
congress unless the financial condition of
the country compels him to do so, before
September, hoping that, in the meantime,
public sentiment in favor of a sound cur
rency will become 50 strong that there
will be no difficulty in getting the silver
purchase act repealed.
The demand for the repeal of the act is
very strong, and is steadily growing
stronger, and there Is no reason to doubt
that the President is keeping himself well
informed as 10 what public sentiment in
respect to the act is. He will call CON
gress, together to repeal the act, without

Too many congressman, however, look
upon the patronage of their respective

them and they feel that they have
been wronged when the President does
not appoint their candidates.
1t is said that Senator Buffers letter
gives the President a great deal of salts
faction. He hopes that other congressman
will read it and be guided by it,
1t is only natural that congressman
should seek to have their friends appoint
ed to Offices. They want to reward those
who helped to elect them. Consequently
they do not always recommend fit men for
offices. They are more concerned about
getting places for those to whom they are
under obligations than to get good men
into the civil service. The president, the
success of whose administration depends
largely upon having the offices filled by
honest and capable men, seeks the best
men that can be obtained.

Death Of senator Stanford.

Senator Stanford had been a conspiou-
Gus figure in California for thir5y-fve
years. He was prominently identified
with her politics and her business inter
ests. In one way and another he did as
much to advance her growth as any
other one of her citizens.
The foundation of his great fortune was
laid in the building of the Central Pacific
railroad. He was president of the Cen
tral Pacific company, and superin tended
the construction of the road over the
mountains, building $50 miles in 293 days
He was man of strong common sense
and an iron will. Although he was gov
ernor of California and senator from that
state, and was mentioned as a candidate
for the presidency, he did nothing in
craftsmanship that win cause his name
to be remembered. His monument IS the
Central Pacific railroad, and it will be an
enduring one.
Much of mis- great fortune has been de-
voted to educational purposes. The col
lege he established in California and en-
dowed munifcently, is one of the most
complete educational institutions in the
country. Heleaves no children, and it is
probable that a large part of his estate
win go to the college and charitable insti'
buttons.

SAFETY IN A FAST STEAMER.
Such Vessels as the Campenia Must
of Necessity Be Strong.
From the Saturday Review.

From the Saturday Review.
A ship that can make.a;yoyage to New
York and back in fortnight will earn
fifty two freights in The year, instead of
twenty six of the boats of twenty years
ago. The crew costs no more, If the coal
does, and the earnings are double. But
there is vet another view OF the matter
The late sir William PearCe, who began
these fast boats by the building of the
Arizona, and whose successors at Fair
field have built the Campaniu, once since
asked a friend, whose imagination reeied
at the idea of a twenty-five knot boat,
whether he would not prefer to 90 down
in fast boat in preference to meeting an
ignominious death in an ocean tramp
The humor of the sentiment lies in the
fact that it is the ocean tramp that al
ways goes down in the case of a collision,
and 1t is the fast boat that sends the tramp
down. Parliamentary humanitarians
should see TO this. Surely their reckless
ingenuity is equal to the discovery of some
way of preventing people from choosing
their mode of drowning. Those who
know most about boats know that the safe
boat is the fast boat, because the fast
boat must of necessity be strong The
fast and strong boat never waits for the
waves to hustle and buffet it; it goes
through them. Once ina while, it is true
an equinox may contriye a gale that will
trouble even the Campania but a wave
requires time TO gather itself together
and spend its strength, and a fast boat of
the right build does not wait There are
of course, test fairweather boats, des igned
to make record passages in sunshine
which do so, but which founder in the
trough of the sea when the waves roll
high. These are the Atlantic impostors
and wise men avoid them

An Argument Against Lxnoh Law

In a dispatch in the MORNING News
yesterday from Milan, Tenn, it was
stated that the mob, which was supposed
to have lynched Lee Bennett at Gleason,
had hanged Jim Harris, an innocent man
The man that the mob intended to hang
is in Jail in Dresden.
Will any action be taken against the
men who killed Harris2 1t is safe to say
there will not. An innocent man was
murdered and no effort will be made to
enforce the law against those who killed
him. Even the most rampant advocates
of lynch law must, in the lynching of this
innocent man, find the strongest kind of an
argument against lynch law.
The lynching of a man who is guilty of
a crime for which death is the punish
ment, although the gravest kind of an
offense, is tolerated in some communities
by public sentiment, but the lynching of
an innocent man, although mistake was
made, ought not to be tolerated
But as long as lynching is tolerated just
such mistakes as the one at Gleason are
likely to occur. The only way to prevent
such mistakes is to put stop to lynchings
It is better that half dozen guilty men
should escape punishment for their CRIMES
than that one innocent man should be put
to death.
But guilty men would not escape pun
ishment if there were no lynchings. They
would be dealt with according to law,
and would be made to suffer the penalty
which the law provides. Those who hold
a different view lack confidence in the
ability and integrity of courts and
juries. If courts and juries fail to do
their duty it is because the people them
selves are lacking in the moral tone and
are Indifferent as to whether or not the
laws are enforced. Wherever there is a
strong public sentiment against crime
there criminals stand little or no chance
of escaping punishment by the courts.

The Atlanta Herald thus bowails the
degeneracy of the times in Atlanta:
"Yelrs ago a man who went from corner
to corner gossiping about women carried
his life in his hands. The street gossip
was very rare. Now he is to be seen in
every town, and ne plies his vocation
with no thought of evil consequences to
himse.1. Men were very, very
careful Now womans name is passed
from lip to lip, and whole communities
discuss her in clubs and other public
places. Il is direful piece of business
at best, but if the woman is innocent it is
simply horrible" The effect is very well
stated now the cause of that effect
what is it, 1t can hardly be the natura
result of the abolition of duelling, as would
seem to be suggested by the Herald.
Might not the fault be traced to sensation
alism, of a kind tending to lower the
standard Of morals in public prints? 1t is
in the province and is the duty of the
Herald to combat that tendency to un-
wholesome sensationalism, if it thinks the
suggestion pertinent.
