The Butler-Tillman Contest.

! II is not apparent that either Senator
Butler or Gov. Tillman is getting any
benefit from the joint debate in which
/ they are engaged. They are opposing
candidates for the high Office of United
States senator. and each is seeking to get
a majority of the legislature favorable to
himself
When the debate opened at the begin
ming of this week each of them declared
that he would like to have a discussion
free from personalities, and there was a
hope that the joint discussion would be
full, free and fair presentation of the
issues which divide them. That hope has
been abandoned. The debate has
become almost a purely personal
one. and very few outside of those
who are interested partisans of one side or
the other, and who find satisfaction in the
elimination and recrimination INDUCED in
and the epithets which each hurls at the
other, care to attend the meetings. There
is nothing to be learned from the speeches,
and the people find it more profitable and
safer to remain at home. 1t is regrettable
that the debate is not conducted upon
higher plane. The charges that Senator
Butler makes against Gov. Tillman will
not increase the senator's popularity, and
the assertions of Gov. Tillman in respect
to Senator Butler will not help the cause
of the governor. Each is expected, how
ever. to be as aggressive as the-other, and
each is doing his utmost to make the peo-
pie think he is the drawer man. There is
scarcely any effort TO enlighten the peo-
pie on public questions.
The sooner the Joint debate is stopped
the better it will be for the state. If it
is continued the hostility of the factions
to each other will become intensified, and
lives of inoffensive people may be sacri-
feed. The debate is serving no good pur-
pose. What then is the use of continuing
it,
It would be much better from every
point of view for each contestant to con-
duct an independent campaign Under
that arrangement the audiences would
not be much, if any, smaller than
they are now. Indeed, the peo-
pie might turn out more freely
because they would have no fear of a Sc
rious disturbance, aud would expect to
hear something else than personalities.
The campaign in which Senator Butler
and Gov. Tillman is engaged is very i'm
portant one for the politicians in South
Carolina. 1t seems to be agreed that if
the Butler faction is victorious that fac
ton will regain the ascendency in the
state and will hold it for many years,
On the other hand if Gov Tillman is sue
cessful his faction will likely dominate
the politics of the state for the next quar-
ter of century, The meetings thus far
indicate that the governor has lost none
of his popularity and that legislature
will be chosen that will make him sena-
tor.

Too Much of a Quorum.

Probably the latest and best story on
Thomas b. Reed had it's origin a few evenings
ago at a seance, when party of statesmen
were engaged in solving the mysteries of
straight tiushes, full houses. pairs ETC., says
the Chicago Tribune At last there came
show of strength between the Maine congress
man and d pretty lucky opponent, and after
several raises" it seemed the part of
prudence for Mr. Reed to cali the last bet
made.
What have you?" he drawled in most UNI
mlstakable poker parlance, at the same time
exposing full hand with aces at the top.
-Four of kind" was the answer. Two
pair of kings"
Evidently a sufficient number, q" replied
the man from Maine whose mind had drifted
back to his quorum counting experiences in
congress. There was an outburst of laugh
ter at this point and Mr.. Reed proceeded to
SETTLE
1t must be understood that when point is
made in the House that a quorum has not
voted on any question. the SPEAKER proceeds
to count the members present to determine
whether or not business can proceed. Usu
ally after the result of this count the form
ula, according to parliamentary law, is
for the presiding officer to announce: "Ev'
identity sufficient number of gentlemen
are in attendance to constitute a quorum"
There was evidently too much of a quorum
In the poker hand which Mr.. Reed paid to
look at.

The central's Reorganization.

1t is impossible yet to draw any con-
| illusions as 10 whether or not the reorgan-
ization of the Cen cral railroad system on
! the plan that is now being prepared will
| be hostile to Savannah's interests. There
are those who are expressing the opinion
! that it win be hostile. On what do they
base their opinionl On the interview
with Capt. Howell, which appeared in
| the MORNING News yesterday There is
nothing in that interview which iusti-
ies any such an opinion.
The statement is made by Capt. Howell
that Drexel, Morgan & Co. announced
that they would not sanction and support
any scheme of reorganization that does
not have the approval of Receivers Conner
and Hayes. We do not believe that Mr..
Conner will approve any scheme of reor-
ganization that is injurious to Savannah's
interests. He is anxious to have the
Central railroad system reorganized, but
he is not so anxious as to be willing to
have it so reorganized that Savannah
would be injured.
1t is apparent that it would be about
impossible for the holders of South
western stock to reoganize the Central
unless Drexel, Morgan & Co. should con-
sent. That powerful financial institution
has just succeeded in recognizing the
Richmond Terminal properties, and it is
to have absolute control of those
properties for five years. One of
the assets of the Richmond Terminal,
now the Southern railway, is a majority of
the stock of the Central. Is il likely that
Drexel, Morgan & Co. would permit the
Central to be so recognized. as to make
that stock yalueless2 Their aim will
doubtless be to make that stock valuable
Assuming such to be the case, every
possible means will be employed to in
crease the gross and net earnings
of the Central. Savannah cannot be hurt
by such policyas that uOn the contral Y,
she would be benefited.
1t is intimated in Capt. Howell's inter-
view that the Central will be run as an
individual property There is no indica-
tion as yet that it will be consolidated with
the Southern railway. If run as an indi-
vidual property Savannah will still be the
headquarters of the system, and all the
offices will be here.
of the Southern railway and the Central
will be controlled by one policy that will
be beneficial to all of them. There will
be no cutting of rates, no rebates, and the
services of the army of solicitors that
now burdens the roads will be dispensed
with. A policy of that kind will be help
full to all the roads, and will increase
their net earnings
OF course nothing definite as to the
policy that will control the Central when
recognized can now be stated, but it is
certain that nothing has yet cropped out
that justifes a fear that Savannah is 60
ing to fare badly when reorganization is
effected. Savannah cannot control the
reorganization in her interest. She can
only hope that the recognized road will
not be controlled by a policy hostile to
her welfare.

The interesting social announcement is
made that Mr. c. H Cramp, the head of
the great Cramp shipbuilding firm of
Philadelphia, and Mrs. Madeline Tasker
Polk, of Washington, originally of North
Carolina, are engaged to be married. Mr..
Cramp is about 90 years old, and has been
married twice, each of his wives dying at
an early age. Mrs. Polk, who is the di-
vorced wife of Mr.. A. c. Buell., of Phila-
delphia, with her maiden name restored
by the courts, is a member of the famous
North Carolina family that gave Leonidas
Polk, bishop and soldier, to the southern
confederacy. The marriage is to take
place in October

Time for Work.

1t has been apparent for several weeks
that MIR. Atkinson viii get majority of
the delegates to the state democratic
convention, and, hence, will secure the
the gubernatorial nomination. He has
shown himself to be a much ADLER poll
teal manager than Gen Evans, and has
outgeneraled him at almost every point
The question of the nomination being
practically settled, no time should be lost
in thoroughly organizing the party for the
campaign. There is no doubt, of course
that the democratic ticket will be elected,
but it is a matter of the greatest i'm
portance that it should be elected by the
old time majority. 1t should be given
relatively larger majority than the last
state ticket received, in order that the
populists may be convinced that they are
only wasting their time in trying to get
control of the state.
We do not believe that either Judge
Hines or Mr.. Watson entertains the be-
lief that the Populist party has a chance
of electing its ticket. Nevertheless they
are going to make as lively a cam
paign as they can, with the hope
of electing a considerable number of the
members of the legislature, and for the
purpose of putting their party in as good
a position as possible for the national
campaign in 1896.
There is no good reason why the state
executive committee should wait until
after the meeting of the state convention
to organize for campaign purposes. 1t
should set the party machinery in motion
at once. A great deal can be done toward
arousing enthusiasm in the ranks of the
democracy before the ticket is named.
There is one thing to which attention
should be given at once, and that is the
nominating of men Of influence and ability
In the different counties for the legisla-
ture. In a number of counties the candi-
dates have already been decided upon.
In the great majority of them, however,
the people have not made up their minds
as TO whom they want to represent them.
Some very important matters will come
before the legislature. Legislation of a
reform kind is expected and desired The
most capable men available, therefore,
should be nominated. In the few counties
ia which the populists are strong it
would be folly to permit them TO nomi-
nate men superior to the democratic
nominees. That would be giving them
an advantage that would be of great ben
eft to them. The democrats must not be
content with accepting men who seek
legislative honors They must nominate
men who are able not only to render the
state efficient service, but who will be
credit to their party.

Calling the Cows.

Herman Rave in the Philadelphia Press
1 don't know why, I don't know how,
But surely twas no harm at all
To stop minute at the pillow
And lsten to her milking call:
"Co--Boss-Coi"
1t sounded so.
Across the yellow tassled corn!
Surely, the man was never born
Who would not leave his team and come
To help her drive the cattle home.
The old folk lived across the hill,
But, surely, was no harm at all
To kiss her; while the fields we're still
list'ning to her milking call:
"Co-BoSs-Co!''
1t sounded so.

The squirrel bent the leaves apart
To see us two a-walking down
Toward the sleepy little town.

But, surely, twas no harm at all;
The stars were in the summer sky,
Before the cattle reached their stall

The moon from of his great white shield,
Has tossed it back into the field,
And still the whispering echoes come
And follow me, a-valklng home.

1t would be interesting to know how
much better satisfied those dissatisfied
democrats" of Augusta feel, after their
meeting for the purpose of getting salts
faction. The meeting appears to have
done but little except to meet and to ad-
democrats" to do under existing condi-
tons would be to drop personal desires
and ambitions and work for the unity of
the party. The election of a democratic
governor by an overwhelming majority is
the imperative duty of the party, and to
assist the party to that end is the imper-
alive duty of every democrat.

The Private Right of Silence.

The supreme court OF Georgia has made H.
self a public benefactor. II has declared in
favor OF The general private right OF 81
lence," affirming that this is guaranteed by
the constitution, and that IL cannot be taken
away b. legislation. In an age thus given
over TO talk with human talking machines In
all the places OF pride and power, II was an
act OF no little courage for a court to lift up
potential voice in favor OF the constitutional
right OF silence. Such an utterance Is as re-

senatorial debate as the shadow OF great

Pullman's Paternalism a Failure.

Aside from the direct issues involved,
the strike of the employees sof the
Pullman Car Company offers an in
structive object lesson on the inehicacy Of
paternalism It will be borne in mind
that Mr.. George M. Pullman, an amateur
philosopher, as well as a practical bust
ness man, set out some years ago to
establish the ideal relations between
capital and labor. He built city about
his car works not far from Chicago, and
called it Pullman. He went in to make
Pullman 1.-The model industrial city,"
and the model city, has since been fire.
quently and industriously doomed in the
public prints.
Mr.. Pullman owned all of the houses,
all of the stores, all of the
streets; owned the water works,
the lighting plant and everything
else, including the town hall and
the jail. 1t was his theory that all of
these things being under one management
and that management being identical
with the one operating the industries of
the city, affairs could and would be made
TO run along with very little, if any, fric-
| tion. The men were to be provided with
everything they might need-for pay, of
course-and MIR. Pullman and his com
pany were to watch over them with
fatherly solicitude.
But in spite of MIR. Pullman's tender
paternahsm. the scheme wouldn't work
The men saw their wages going lower and
lower, until they reached a point below a
decent living rate. This is asserted as
fact by the Times and other Chicago pa
pers. Meanwhile the rent charges for
Mr.. Pullman's houses continued as high
as ever, fuel cost as much as be-
fore, the water rent was not reduced and
there was no scaling down of prices at Mr..
PuIlman's stores so the workmen re-
solved that something must be done
They tried several expedients to remedy
the state of affairs, but none was success
full, so they went on strike. Now, the
strike was one great evil that Mr.. Pull
man sought to abolish by the institution
of his model city, And here came the
strike, right when the strong points of
the system should have made themselves
manifest-when times were hard and
money scarce.
The merits Of the strike, considered in
themselves, do not change the fact that
this is an instance in which paternalism
has proved itself a failure.
