The Small Boys First Fish.

The small boy went fishing the other day,
says the Buffalo Express. II was his first
actual experience in that line. hut he had Of
ten talked the sport over with his father and
knew just what he would do in any emergency.
He and his father got down to the dock about
noon and received excellent reports from the
other fishermen. Everybody said the suntsh
and rock bass and perch were biting well,
while there was an occasional black bass TO
be caught
To the small Toy was given pole and his
hook was baited for him. Then his father
threw in the line, and he was told to keep
pulling it up and down in the water 50 he
might feelif he had a fish. AS he Is but bit
over four years old. the plan of waiting for
and the father thought that he would soon
play.
The small boy did as he was told. He drew
the line up and down through the water, and
once gave 1t a tremendous ming and landed a
nsh on the dock
it WASH much of a fish. II was a sunhsh
about three inches long. but IL was bigger to
the boy and better than If it had been forty
pound muskaliOnge. His eyes stuck out like
doorknobs and he danced a bout the dock and
shouted at the top OF his voice for all the the
folks to come and see his hSh. He had hooked
1t through the back when he was drawing up
his line, but. that. too cut no figure with him,
He had caught a fish. and he was as big a
man as the sportsman who gets a ta1pon af
ter three hours struggle.
He determined then and there to take it
home and have it cooked. After he had ex
hlblted II with the greatest pride TO every
body on the bank, he put it in the pocket OF
his kpfckerbOCkers. He didn't want to lose
it. II was safe enough for other persons to
string their hSh and leave them in the water
but this was a particular fish He had
caught 1t, and he was. afraid some one might
grow jealous OF him and wish to take it from
him. SO he slowed it away underneath his
handkerchief and his other small treasure,
and whenever he thought Of it during the af-
teruoon. he would take il out and fondIe its

rather and son went home. and got there
too late for supper. The small boy decided
ne would have the fish for breakfast He
went to bed and next morning his mother
looked for the fish which she had placed on
dish IN the pantry. It wasn't there. Search
was instituted while the small boy slept but
no fish was to be found. With fear and
trembling his mother went to his bedside and
awakened him. She knew size would have to
tell him Of the loss of his beloved hsh, but
she feared an Outburst. The moment the
small boy got his eyes open he made grab
under the clothes. He had taken the fish to
bed with him.
When he gets bigger and studies chemistry
ana all that sort of thing, and comes to know
ABOUT the dislntegration of tissues and the
IKE, he Will understand why he didn't have
that fish for breakfast

A Wise Policy.

Mr.. W, A Henderson, the general
/ counsel of the East Tennessee, Virginia
/ and Georgia railroad is reported, as say
ing that the Southern railway has sci
| aside large fund for the promotion OF
/ small industries along the several lines EN-
braced. in the recent consolidation, and
that the policy of the system will be to
| encourage general upbuilding OF the
South
This policy is a wise one. The develop
ment Of the country tributary to the
lines of the Southern railway has hardly
been begun. There are millions Of
acres of excellent land that
can be had almost for the asking, and
which can easily be changed into pro
ductive farms There are rich mines
that have never been worked and there
are many towns that have excellent ad-
vantages for manufacturing. Under the
direction of capable men the whole vast
region traversed by the Southern railway
can be made within the next ten years to
furnish three times as much business as
it now does to the railroads.
A iudicious system Of advertising the
advantages of the country should be car
ried on What is particularly needed Is
thrifty class of settlers. There are
thousands of farmers in New England
and the west who would be glad to settle
in the south. Many from those sections
have already made homes for themselves
in the southern states, and many more
would have done so long before this if
they had not been misinformed as to the
reception they would likely receive. Up
to. the present time the whole effort has
been to build up the west. Capital and
immigration have both gone TO that sec
ton. Now, however, there is noticeable
movement in the direction OF the south.
The splendid resources and advantages
of the south are being better understood.
The southern people themselves are grad
ually awakening TO their opportunities
and the evidences of thrift and enterprise
are becoming more numerous.
The Southern railway will have nc
cause to regret such policy as that in.
dicated by Mr.. Henderson. The Georgia
Central, it is expected, will also soon be
reorganized, and it should have a policy
similar to that of the Southern railway.
tits the only policy that will enable these
roads to increase their earnings and make
their stockholders glad.

Dishonesty Somewhere.

Was not that rather startling state
ment that the secretary of the reorganiza-
ton committee of the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe railroad gave to the public
few days ago. II was that the expert
accountants, who had been employed to
examine the company's books had found
that the company's income between July,
1899, and December, 1898, had been over
stated by about 81, 0OO,OO
No wonder the stock and bonds of the
road dropped few points when that
statement appeared. 1t seems that the
100000 or more had been paid to ship
pers in rebates. No account of these re-
bate payments appears on the books of the
company-that is, they do not appear as
rebate payments. They are covered up
bya system of bookkeeping intended to
hide the truth.
The reorganization committee was
going forward with the work of reorgan-
izing the property with the understand
ing that the earnings of the road are
nearly 100000 a year greater than they
actually are, and not an officer of the road
made known the truth. If the reOrgani-
zation had been effected it would have
been failure. The road could not have
earned the fixed charges.
And there is another point worth
noting. 1t is that for four years the road
persistently violated the interstate COM
merce law. There are facts that seem to
justify the opinion that there is prodig-
ious amount of dishonesty in railroad
managements

OF course, the populists are assistant
republicans, as a leading Coffee county
populist let slip at Douglas the other
day, when he said his party's hope was
not to succeed, but to cripple the democ-
racy. Thinking men among the popu-
lists will not like to look at it that way,
but that is what it amounts to- The
idea of playing second fiddle to the party
of John Sherman, Frederick Douglass A.
w. Tourgee, the host of robbers that
throttled the south a few years ago, and
John A Cockerill, is not pleasant one.
II may suit few individuals, for per-
sonal ends, to follow the republicans, but
that kind of thing will not suit the rank
and file of Georgians.

Why They Want legislation

Evidently there is a very bitter feeling
in California against the men who are the
ost deeply interested in the Central Pa
cifc railroad. This is shown by the efforts
that are being made in that state to COM
pei Huntington and the estates of Stan
ford, and others who were largely inter
ested in building that road, to pay the
government the money which the road
owes it. The amount of this debt is enor-
nous, something like $40, 200, 600.
1t is asserted that the money loaned and
the land granted by the government to
the Central Pacific were about sufficient
to build it. Huntington, the CrolSers,
Stanford and Hopkins had the
management of the road and
its finances while the road
was being built and they, or those who
have their estates, have it now When
the road was completed they managed to
get control of nearly all the stock. BY
building branch lines at an enormous and
Unnecessary cost they succeeded, it is al
legged, in accommodating vast fortunes, and
so loading the property with debt that
the governments security is practically
worthless.
But why is it that MIR Huntington now
wants legislation in respect to the Cen
trail Pacific's affairs In an interview in
the New York World, the representative
at Washington of the Californians who
are fighting Huntington, says that the
law of California makes Mr. Huntington
| and the estates of Stanford, Hop
kins and Croker liable for the debt
due the government, and Huntington
has been advised by his attorney that any
modification of the original agreement
between the government and the railroad
would release them from this liability.
If this be true it is apparent why Mr..
| Huntington is seeking legislation in re-
| spect to the Central Pacific at this time.
| But viii he get such legislation as he
wants. IL is pretty certain no will not.
The people are on the watch and con
| gress, even if it were so disposed, would
hardly dare TO pass a law that would de-
prive the government Of any of It's rights
with respect to the Central Pacific or any
other road built with public money
and the proceeds of the public land.
