Death of ex-senator Thurman

OF Allen G. Thurman it may truly be
said that he died full of years and honors.
He was a statesman. His career in the
public service began when he was hardly
more than a youth. and extended through
out nearly his whole life He took his
seat in the Senate when there were but
six democrats except himself in that
body, and lived to see not only the Senate
but the whole government democratic.
During his services in the Senate he was
the author of legislation that will remain
on the statute books as long as the gov
eminent lasts. He was jurist of great
ability. and his fine legal discernment
was of greatest aid to his party and the
country in congress on many occasions.
In the use of the English language he
had no superior. His death win cause
sincere sorrow throughout the land, and
he will be always remembered as 1.-THE
noblest Roman of them all" in his day
and generation.

treatment of the Convicts.

If what the committee of the legislature
appointed to investigate the convict camps
reported is true. and we have
no reason to doubt that it is,
the treatment of the convicts in
many of the camps is a stain upon the
fair fame of Georgia and a reproach TO
her people. The accounts of the treatment
the convicts Of Russia receive in Siberia
arouse our deepest Indignation, and yet
honorable members Of our legislature de-
clare. that the treatment our convicts re-
ceive from the convict lessees is not one
bit more humane.
In connection with the report Of the leg
islative committee respecting the treat
ment of the convicts two thoughts pre-
sent themselves. one is, why was the re-
port delayed until the legislature was on
the eve Of adjournment, and the other is
how is it that such a condition of affairs
has been permitted to continue from
month to month and year to year?
II the report had been made before the
session of the legislature was near its end,
there might have been legislation that
would have insured a better condition of
affairs in the convict camps. 1t would have
been possible surely to have done some
thing that would have relieved the state
of the shame and disgrace Of apparently
conserving to have her convicts half starry
ed, half clothed and subjected to the most
cruel and inhuman punishments.
-
committee called attention to go on until
the leases by which the convicts are now
held, expire? Is there no authority to rem
edy the evil lodged anywhere? We were
under the impression that the state still
had authority over the convicts. notwith-
standing the existence of the leases. If
this impression is correct have the state
authorities been doing their duty? These
are questions the people would like to have
answered. There must be some one who
can answer them. The representatives of
the people have made known a state of
affairs in the convict camps which was
not generally known to exist. What the
people now want to know is whether there
Is SoluS W pe d prompt anu tdulcdl IelOi III
in the treatment of the convicts, or wheth-
er the treatment the legislative commit
tee has exposed and condemned is to con-
tinue? Is it not in the power of the COVER
nor to compel the lessees to comply strict
ly with the terms Of their contracts? If it
is, he should lose no time in doing so. not
only because the dictates of humanity re-
qures it of him. but also because if he neg
lects TO do his duty in this matter the peo-
pie will visit upon him their condemnation.

The Apache Indians of Arizona and
New Mexico have given the government
more trouble than any other tribe lately.
The reports of their depredations and
murders in the neighborhood of the aban-
doned Fort Bowie make it apparent that
they are again in an ugly mood. and will
have to be whipped out of it. It is be
lieved Apache Kid is at the head of the
band that is now doing the mischief. He
is thoroughly bad. and is wanted by the
authorities for several murders and a
number Of thefts.

Mr.. A. H. Leonard of Louisiana, mem
Der of the republican national commit
tee, says his state will favor Reed for the
presidential nomination. Are the sugar
planters going to leave the democratic
party?' he was asked by a reporter. Not
en- masse," he replied; lit is not to be ex-
pected that they will leave the democracy
solidly but many of them will join the re-
publicans." There must be mistake
somewhere. At the time the sugar bounty
was killed in congress it was reported
that the sugar planters had not only left
the democratic party. but had formed A
republican party Of their own. and would

AhIYvardt's Hopeless Task.
From the Norfolk Virginian Oem.)

In this land of free thought and action
every avenue and every privilege open
or enjoyed by other people is granted to
the Hebfew, and it is right that it is SO.
The outcry against the Jews in the old
countries is cowardly and disgracefIl,
and it may be sure that it is not going
to be tolerated in this country. Ahl-
wardt's gospel of hatred against the
Isrealites is against the fundamental
principles of our government. and what
business he has to come over here with
his unwarranted interference is DIFFICULT
to understand.

AnnuaI Sessions.

The legislature has adjourned. and the
question arises. what did it do for the
benefit Of the people during its fifty days
session? II spent many thousands of dol
lars-money the people could i'll afford to
spare-and it made few general laws
and passed a number Of local bills. Not
a few of the local bills are intended 10
advance the interests of a political fac
ton. and a subsequent legislature may be
requested 10 change them.
a good many bills were defeated. be
cause the legislature became convinced
that their purpose was to confer upon
individuals and corporations benefits and
privileges they should not have, or to
lodge power in hands that would have
used it to advance personal interests at
the expense Of other interests.
We are convinced that the state would
be ever so much better of if the sessions
Of the legislature were biennial instead
Of annual. There would be less oppor-
tunity for mischievous work and a great
deal of money would be saved to the
people. The people-especially people who
have something at stake-view the ap-
proach of a session of the legislature
with alarm. They know from past ex-
perience that there are likely to be at
tacks upon private interests, and schemes
proposed TO help political factions and
to gain benefits at the expense OF the
public. These schemes and attacks are
not suggested. as a rule, by members Of
the legislature, but by outside parties.
who purpose using the legislature to ac-
complsh the ends they have in view.
There is altogether too much legislation,
both national and state. 1t would be ever
50 much better for the people if fewer
laws We're enacted. There should be broad
general laws which would do away with
so much local and special legislation.
With such laws a short session of a
legislature once in two years would an
swer all the needs of a state.

appears to be in a terrible tangle. Just
about everybody who has had any connec-
ton with it has been smirched in some
manner or other. The woman herself
seems to be without any force of charac-
ter whatsoever. She has vaciIlated be-
tween two sides of a story that are dia-
metrieally opposed to each other, and
one of which is atrociously false Which
side is true and which false it seems i'm
