X was confined to use in marking the
senatorial ticket. In many instances
in the Fourth the elector voted for
four, instead of for three representa-
tives.
The one-man observation-disclosures
was failure. Adams, the Kane
ohe teacfer, telephoned the result to
Wray Tay'o at 5 o'clock. The man
voted for four Representatives and his
vote doesn't count. tAnd that bad
vote cost 1927 said Captain King,
wearily. There were numerous in
quiries all day and in the evening
about this precinct. At one stage in
the compilation of the unofficial re-
turns it seemed that the One-man pre-
cinct would settle the contest between
Klemme and Winston in favor Of the
former This Waimanalo patriot says
that he will move to a pOpulous an
nexation neighborhood before the next
election. He says that this incident
embarrasses MIN.
Klemme's workers put forth their
greatest efforts at the Royal School,
Kapuaiwa building, Beretania school.
and Water Gate. The A. L. p. COM
mittee were surprised at his show of
strength at the Beretania school,
Water Gate, and Bell Tower. At the
Royal school the "People's Represen-
tative" had a big detail of his army
of boomers. The redoubtable Major
Wolters was on deck. Mr.. Blackburn,
OF Salvation Army fame, was very
much in evidence. Every Portuguese
who could be engaged was on the
staff. For wheeling, Klemme ran to
brakes, having several on the move
all day. The Central Committee had
it's volunteer workers at each precinct
and was prudent in back investments.
The number of vehicles allowed by
law was not required.
In the Fifth District the workers
were absent. There was no opposition
to the regular ticket. Naturally the
vote was very light. The inspectors
had to resort to all sorts of devices to
kill time. None of the committeeman
were enough interested in the Fifth to
visit any of the precincts. Even Jerry
Simonson was unable to get up an ar
gument. When its like that it Is
quiet.
There was not disturbance of any
sort during the day. The saloons were
closed and only very few drunken
men appeared on the streets. A num-
her of mercantile houses suspended
business. None of the offices in the
Government buildings were opened at
all. Even the Custom House was
closed and the water front was desert
ed. The movement was confined to
King, Fort, Hotel and Merchant
streets. The post office closed at IL
o'clock and the banks at noon. Every
precinct was well pOliced.

Told by a Retired Burglar.

Il spent one term in prison that never dis
turbed me IN the least" said retired bur
glar, to New York Sun writer, for the proof
against me was of such a nature that there
couldn't be any possibility of mistake about
1t; and then, distressing as II was to me l
couldn help admlr1ng the manner in which
l was caught.
Il had found my way in house to the nrin-
clp2l occupied chamber, and had SURVEYED
the room as well as could by the dim lght
that was burning without using my own
lamp. 1t was handsomely furnished room
and it give one comfortable feeling lust to
look into it..
Il got over to the bureau and set my lamp
down on top of it and got to work. The kew

little careless, but it made my work lust so
much easier. l turned that key as though If

ers in all well-constructed bureaus, opened
smooth and true.
I reached in at the right-hand corner.
where people generally keep their pocket
DOCKS, and almost the first thing my hand
touched was q silver purse. one of the kind
that people used to carry more than they do
now, wallet-shaped, opening on a hinge with
accOrdeOn-nke compartments inside and
shutting with snap. This pocketbook was
carved or EN- bOSSed on the sides, and it was
beautiful, knew and liked pretty things.
and sort OF held on to it with my hand still
IN the drawer, at the same time running nv

With that hand, moment later I picked up
slender silver bottle. and never regretted
anything so much in my life, for that bottle
was the other end of an electric battery, and
l couldn't let go.
I cried out; couldn't help it: but that
didn do any harm. for the instant touched
the bottle a bell began to ring loud enough to
wake anybody up, even if I hadn't made a

Crude Legislation.

Mr.. William Fl. Fleming, in communi-
cation to the Atlanta Constitution, rela-
tive TO the act Of December last. submit
ting to the vote of the people an amend
ment 70 the constitution providing for
summer sessions, takes the ground that
the adoption of the amendment would be
unwIse. The inference from what he says is
that the bill would not have been passed
had it been discussed in committee or in
the House. In this connection he says:
AS one OF the minority who voted
against that bill, it may not be amiss for
me to state, by way of explanation or ex-
cuse, (if excuse be needed of the the vote
OF the majority, that the bill was not dis
cusSed either in the committee or in the
House. 1t came up for passage toward
the close of the. session when there was
no time for discussion. I presume the
same cause prevented discussion in the
Senate"
1t seems rather strange that so impor-
tant a bill should have been rushed
through both Houses without discussion.
As a matter of fact, however, was there
not a great deal done by the legislature
of which few Of the members had any
knowledgeI It has been stated that bill
that would have practically ruined the
fertilizer industry of the state passed the
House and reached the Senate before any
considerable number of the members
of either House became aware of its
character, and the great majority would
not have known anything of it then had
not the fertilizer manufacturers called
their attention to it.
1t can hardly be said that the legisla-
ture had not time to attend to the duties
for which they were paid. How often
was it that there was not a quorum in
the House, or in Atlanta2 Other mat
ters than their legislative duties were
claiming the time of members.
In regard to the amendment providing
that the sessions of the legislature shall
be held in the summer MIR. Fleni-
ing says that there is no occa-
sion for it-that the constitution
gives 1.-The legislature the power to change
the time of meeting" That being the
case what did the legislature waste time
in passing bill authorizing an amend
ment, changing the time, to be submitted
to the people2 If it was desired to test
public sentiment in respect to the matter,
that could have been done without all the
fuss and feathers of constitutional
amendment.
Sometime ago the MORNING NEWS sug-
gested the advisability of exercising more
care in selecting candidates for the legis-
lature. Mr.. Fleming's communication
strengthens the conviction that the sug-
gestion was timely

To TRY It Again.

The populists Of this state are not yet
satisfied that the people Of Georgia have
no use for them, their party or their priu-
ciples They were overwhelmingly de-
feated at the last state election-defeated
so badly, in fact, that they can hardly be
said 70 have been in the gubernatorial
contest-but their leaders are so anxious
for notoriety that they have decided to
make another trial Of their strength next
fall
They know they have no chance for
electing a state ticket They cannot poll
as many votes as they did for their last
state ticket. The more that is learned Of
their party and its principles
the less strength will the party have. It
isn't a matter of much consequence
whether Mr.. Peek or Mr.. Ellington leads
their ticket. The squabble between these
two gentlemen for the honor of the place
may afford amusement, but the nomina-
tion Of either of them would cause no I'M
-easiness in the democratic ranks.
Mr. Watson, it seems, is shrewd enough
TO see that he would lead a forlorn hope if
he should accept the gubernatOrial nomi-
nation, and that he hasn't a ghost of a
chance of getting the United States sena-
torship Therefore, according to our At
lanta dispatches, he will attempt to sue
coed Maj. Black in congress. 1t
will be only an attempt. Mr.
Watson is much less of a political factor
than he was when he was last a con
gressional candidate. When he ran
against Maj. Black he was on the crest Of
the wave Of his political fortunes. He
will never again attract so much attention
unless he parts company with his populist
friends.
The only effect of a populist state
ticket will be to stimulate the democrats
to greater activity. The democratic
majority will be about as big as the en-
tire democratic vote would be if the Dem
ocratic party had no opposition. Let the
populists do their best. They will not
make any inroads upon the democratic
hosts of the Empire state of the south.

Railroad Disasters.

The shocking railroad disaster that oc-
Cured on the Lackawanna railroad, near
the bridge over the Hackensack river,
last Monday, an account of which was
published in our dispatches Tuesday, was
not an unavoidable one, and neither was
the disaster that occurred to the Rich
mond and Danville train yesterday, near
Chester, S. c., unavoidable. Neither dis
aster would have occurred if ordinary
care had been exercised.
In the case of the Lackawanna disaster
the South Orange express was following
the Dover express, and was only few
minutes behind it. A thick fog prevailed.
The Dover express stopped at the Hack
ensack bridge in order to be sure that the
draw of the bridge was in place. A flag
man was sent back to warn the South
Orange express, but he had gone but
few steps when he heard the train ap-
preaching. He ran to the Dover
express to warn the passengers of their
danger, but before they could get out
of the rear car the South Orange express
crushed into the Dover express, killing
fourteen people and wounding many
others.
Had the conductor of the South Orange
express exercised ordinary caution he
would not have run his train so rapidly in
the dense fog that prevailed, knowing
that the Dover express was only three
minutes ahead of him and might meet
with an accident that would delay it. In
clear weather such caution would not be
necessary, because it would have been
possible to see the forward train in time
J to prevent a collision. And if the road
had been equipped with the block system
there would have been no disaster. This
one disaster will cost the Lackawanna
company more than it would TO equip the
entire road with the block system. The
road, being an extremely prosperous one,
has no excuse for not providing itself
with every means for the protection of its
passengers.
The disaster on the Richmond and
Danville road was due, according to our
dispatches, to a neglect of orders. The
place where the disaster occurred is a
railroad crossing, and the regulations re-
quire that trains shall stop at the cross
ings. 1T is alleged that the engineer of
the Georgia and Carolina Northern dis
regarded this regulation. When his train
reached the crossing it was running at a
high rate of speed, and struck a sleeper
of the Richmond and Dauville train that
was passing over the crossing.
The majority of the railroad disasters
are due TO neglect of orders OF
lack of judgment of those in charge
of trains. There is no excuse
for either of the foregoing disasters
Lack of Judgment caused one of them and
a disobedience of orders the other. 1t is
/ impossible, of course, to get safe men fol-
all the positions of responsibility on rail
roads, but is there as great care exercised
in choosing men for the responsible
| places in the train service as there should
| bel Is it not too often the case that en-.
| gineers and conductors are chosen with.
! utinquiry as to whether they are men OF
| quick intelligence and good Judgment?
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-01-18

The official report of the geological sur
vey of Georgia, covering the ''paleozoic
group" which consists of the ten counties
of Polk, Floyd, Barlow, Gordon, Murray,
Whitfield, Catoosa, Chattooga, Walker
and Dade, has been published, by author
ity of the general assembly. The report,
compiled by J. w. Spencer, state geolo-
gist, forms a volume of more than 400
pages. 1t is illustrated, and some of the
pictures are as interesting to lovers of
scenic beauty as to scientists. For in
stance, the views of Lookout mountain
and Shinbone ridge, in Floyd county,
would grace a sumer hotel folder-and the
compilers of summer hotel folders are~not
to be sneezed at as judges of the beautiful
In nature; at the same time, the pictures
are TO illustrate where certain character
istics of the silurian system may be found
and studied. Nothing can possibly be
dryer to the average reader than chap
ter on ores and rocks. But to metallurgists
and mineralogists few things are more
interesting; and to thegeneraI prosperity
ofthestate few things are more important,
for it is through the study Of these things
by scientists that capitalists are brought
to develop iron, and other mines. There
fore the publication of the report on the
paleozoic group, the subject being consid-
cred from the scientific and the economic
standpoint, is a matter Of importance to
Georgia.
