The Lyons Branch.

r AS the public has been appealed to in
the matter of the controversy between
the Central and the Georgia and Alabama
railways, relative to getting into Savan-
nah, the public would like to have a
fuller explanation of a phase of the con-
troversy which appears to be involved
in mystery. We refer to the Lyons branch
of the Central If the Georgia and Ala
baIna had the Lyons branch there would
be no occasion for amending the general
law prohibiting the paralleling of an ex-
isting railroad within ten miles outside
of a limit of ten miles from city.
1t appears that the Georgia and Ala
bama wants to purchase or lease the
Lyons branch. That railways legal rep
Fesentatives in this city say that a COM
mittee of the directors of the Georgia
and Alabama have been endeavoring for
several weeks to open up negotiations
with the owners of it, with the object to
either buy or lease it, but have not yet
found that the Central was ready even
to discuss the matter
At the board of trade meeting the
other day Mr.. Conner said that a repre-
sentative of the Georgia and Alabama
had approached Mr.. Spencer. president
of the Southern. relative to the matter,
and that President Spencer referred him
to the president of the Central. Mr.. Co
mer is the president of the Cen
trail, and at the same meeting he said
no one had approached him from the
Georgia and Alabama for the purpose of
getting control of the Lyons branch.
Now the question is, If Mr.. Conner is
the proper party TO decker with why
hasn't the Georgia and Alabama endeav-
ored to effect a deal with him? We do not
of course know what Mr. Corners views
about the matter are, but it does seem.
from what Mr.. Conner said, that that
committee of Georgia and Alabama di-
rectors could have found out before this
whether or not the Lyons branch is for
lease or sale. Why endeavor to negotiate
with the owners when an agent has been
clothed with power to negotiate?

1t is gratifying to note that patriotic
citizens and business firms are sending
gold to the treasury, under the terms Of
Secretary Carlisle's recent circular. At
the same time, if the patriotic citizens
were to fish up from their old stockings
and other hiding places an amount of
gold coin equal to the greenback circula-
ton and send it to the treasury, it would
serve to redeem the greenbacks only one
time, under the endless chain process
The greenbacks would have to be reis-
sued. under the law. and then there would
be the need for other hundreds of mil
lions of gold to redeem them again.
Reports of the i'll health of the none
come with such frequency as to cause Sc
rious apprehensions. It may. indeed. he

1t is announced from Cleveland o.,
upon the alleged authority of Allen w.
Thurman. that the silver democrats will
hold a national convention this winter
and nominate Mr.. Sibley of Pennsylvania
for President. That being the case, what
is the use of Senator's Morgan, Vest. Pugh
and others going any further with their
movement within the party?" 1t is
pretty certain that the national demo-
cratic convention is not going to accept
either Sibley for a candidate or a 16 to

The other day. through the negligence
of one or two of it's employees, the Phil
adelphia Press published an article Sc
riously rejecting upon certain prominent
men and leading institution of it's city
A gross injustice was done to the parties
attacked The edtor-in-chief of the Press
was out of the city at the time, and had
no knowledge of the publication until he
read 1t in his paper. At the earliest pos
sible moment the Press did all it possibly
could to repair the injury done, and dis
missed the careless employees. The par
ties aggreved wrote a letter to the editor
demanding the names of the employees
responsible for the publication and say
ing that the editor himself would not be
proceeded against in an action for GRIM
inal libel if he would give the names of
the employees in order that criminal ac-
ton might be brought against them. The
editor declined to purchase immunity for
himself upon. any such terms. He stated
that he had discharged the erring en-
ployes, considering that punishment suffi-
cient; that he was not cognizant of the
publication until it had actually appeared
in the paper, and that the paper had done
all in its power to render amends for the
unfortunate circumstance. After having
done that. if the parties were still unsat-
isfied, and persisted in their intention to
bring an action for criminal libel, he would
have to take his chances. The stand
taken by the editor of the Press will be
generally approved. He is clearly not
guilty of criminal libel, and must have
sacrificed his self-respect if he had given
the names of the careless employees. who
have been punished by the loss of their
jobs, in order to put himself beyond the
risk of prosecution.

Chairman Clay of the democratic state
executive committee was right in refus-
ing to receive a challenge to fight a duel
There are plenty of other ways open to
derstandings. 1t is not necessary, in this
advanced age, to wipe out" an affront
by smearing blood over it. Dueling is a
relic of barbarism, and the man who pro-
poses to fight a duel needs little more
ry to decline to receive a challenge than
it is to accept one and go upon the field
and kill somebody or get killed.

There will probably be no more sky
scraping buildings erected in Chicago for
some time. The insurance companies are
cancelling their policies on such buildings
and refusing to make rates for them.
The fire of last Thursday and Friday
demonstrated that the fire department
cannot cope successfully with confiagra-
tions in the very tall buildings. The build
ings have tanks and sprinklers of their
own, besides a pretty complete system
of pipes and hose. But in the fire of last
week these were found altogether made
quate. Policies on several of the tallest
and most costly buildings in the city have
been cancelled since the fire of last week

that United States Minister Terrell at

cording to all accounts, to show himself

There is a new consumption cure. called
'asepsin." It is the discovery of a Prof.
Maragliano. and is being made in this
country only in the laboratory of DR..
Cyrus Edison. in New York. II is said to
be an acid. extremely poisonous in its I'M
modified form, but in preparation for germ
maladies to be entirely harmless. a prom
inent physician OF New York said TO
Philadelphia Press correspondent a day
or two ago that he was sure the remedy
was an absolute cure for consumption,
and that it was also a specific for malarial
disorders. The remedy is now being ex-
perimented with in a New York hospital.
DR.. Paul Gibier, of the Pasteur Institute
is inclined to look upon the new remedy
favorably, though he says it is as well
to keep down enthusiasm with regard to
it until more is known about it.
