The Seven Stages of a Railroad.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
I. At first the incorporators,
Striving and pushing for chartered
right,
To enforce the doctrine right means
might,
II. Then the wealthy syndicates,
With their glowing bits OF facts and
fancy.
Sounding like tales of necromancy.
III. And then the bankers,
Seeking to sell the bonds, solid as rock.
Keeping themselves the freely watered
stock;
This for the lambs-investment good as
brand-new lamp, better than those
OF old!
". Then the car trusts
Mortgages on wheels,
F'orecloscd so readily without appeals!
V. And then the receivers
No coupons now to pay
All debts deferred until some other day:
voting trust, protecting all the stock
That grewSome bears are sure to try to
knock.
VI. The sixth stage shifts
Into the reorganization plan
Where all the wreckers Join in one great
band,
Where innocent experience, dearly
bought,
Is daily learned by some-by others
taught
VII. The last scene of all, in this eventful
mystery.
Two streaks Of rust--a mortgage and-a
history.

Gov. Tillman is probably keeping up
his palmetto trade mark fight in the fed

When informed the other day of the ad-
verse decision of the court of appeals he
is reported to have observed, "Well, we
will fight this thing into the United
States supreme court, and give those fell

US" The matter, as our dispatches
stated yesterday, has been carried to the
supreme court; and the tax payers of
the state must pay for the governors

The Chicago Record recalls very pretty
incident of the Kearsarge which was wrecked
the other day OFF the coast OF Central America.
"A year or so ago this famous vessel visited
Savannah. Ga, where it attracted more than
usual interest, because some of the officers
and crew lived there after the war. Among
those who visited the ship were the daughters
of Capt. Semmes, the commander OF the Ala
Dama. and Lieut.. Kell, her hrst lieutenant
The former was lady Of mature age but the
latter was born long since the war, and TO
prove hat the war was over these two ladies
allowed the commander of the Kearsarge to
pin ribbons bearing the name of that vessel
around their arms. -

the Carrollton Times by calling him hard

fight, let them go to Jacksonville.

One Of dwellings county judges out in
Kansas has naturalized Chinaman, not
withstanding the law of 1882 prohibits
Cinnamon from becoming citizens of this
country under any circumstances. The
federal Attorney General is looking into
the matter. The Kansas judge probably
concluded that there was nothing in the
constitution of the populist party that
gave the federal government the right to
choose its citizens, and, therefore, the law
of 1882 was unconstitutional

There is again talk in Kansas of fusion
between the populists and democrats in
order to secure control of the legislature
and beat the republicans in the election
of a successor to Senator Martin The
lesson of the last election should be sufi-
Gent to teach the democrats that they
have little to expect from any such COM
bination. 1t would be better for the
democrats to make square fight
and get beaten than to assist the popu-
lists TO another victory.

Discussing the convict lease system,
in vogue in this state, the Macon Tele-
graph which is opposed to the system,
says: "Our legislators show an unwilling
ness to take up the question moment
before they are obliged to do so. This
reluctance is due to the difficulty of set
thing the question properly, with due re-
gard to the welfare of the state and of
the convicts." Does this explanation
really explain why the matter has been
so long neglected. Would it not be nearer
the whole truth to say that our legislators
have not taken hold of the obnoxious sys-
tenn and crushed it because they have
lacked the courage to do so? There is
considerable of politics in the convict
lease system. Those who profit by it
WELD more or less political influence,
some of them lot of influence. which
might spoil the legislators prospects if
he were to propose, or vote for, the abro-
CATION of the system. Backbone is what
is needed in the Georgia legislature.

In the New York legislature an effort
is being made to have the antiquated and
unfair libel laws of the state modified so
as to shield newspapers from blackmail-

lection to homes: persons really aggrieved.
At present the law, according to ex-Sena-
tor Fassett, puts a premium upon black

Bounties Won't Do It.

From the Springfield Mass. Republican nd)
During the year 1893 three steamers and six
sailing vessels OF an aggregate of 1900 tons
were built in France under the stimulus" of
the bounty system and became the recipients
OF bounties; while thirty-tive steamers and
eighteen sailing vessels Of a combined ton
mage OF 66O00 were bought abroad by French
citizens, and so missed the benefits OF bounty
This seems to be pretty conclusive against
the ability of the bounty system alone to re
vive nations shipping.

The War Upon the Lords.

Many times has the thought been in the
minds of the masses of the English people
that England would be better off without
her hereditary legislators Time and
again when the House of Lords has de-
feated some measure of which the great
majority Of the people approved has the
threat OF abolishing the House of Lords
been made, but back of the talk and
threats there was never such earnestness
and so strong public sentiment as there
is at present in favor of making war upon
that bouy.
An influential part of the English press
10 in favor of making the House of Lords
an issue There is no hesitation in say
ing that it is an effete institution,
and that it is dangerous and useless. With
this sentiment some of the members of
Mr. Gladstone's cabinet are in hearty
sympathy. If they could have their way
they would begin the war at once.
The House of Lords has defeated the
three most important measures of the
present session of parliament. They have
rejected the home rule bill, and they have
so changed the employers liability bill,
them of little account. All of these bills
are regarded as extremely important, and
the treatment they have received at the
hands of the lords has aroused very bit
ter feeling against the hereditary cham
Der.
The people are asking why they should
be prevented by those who have no
sympathy with them, and who do not
represent them in any important particu-
lar, from having such laws as are for
their benefit and such reforms as would
tend to improve their material condition,
and the more they ask this question
and the more they think about it the bit
terer they become against the hereditary
privilege which the lords possess.
Mr.. Gladstone does not seem to favor
radical course against the lords. He
believes he is too old, perhaps, to lead such
a revolutionary proceeding as the abol e.
ishing of so ancient an institution as that
of the House of Lords. He may be able
to check for awhile the storm which is
gathering, but even he may not be able
to hold it in check long unless the lords
withdraw their opposition to the legisla-
ZION proposed Dy the commons.
