THE RAILROADS AND THE LEG.
- ISLATURE -.

Much comment has been provoked by
the Journals publications concerning the
pasting OF placard in the smoking rooms
of the State legislative halls notifying
members OF the General Assembly that
they can get passes over the Southern
Railway system By calling on the attor-
ney Of that corporation. Jt,.. -,
For a long time it has lbeen practice
in Georgia for the railroads to supply
members OF the Legislature with passes
and there have been few Legislators who
have refused such favorse ~ I
The Southern Railway has, however,
made q departure by distributing its pas
SEES through its attorney. This movement
is especially subject to criticism in view
Of the fact that the Southern has obtain
ed control of most of the railroads in the
State and the probability that the legality
Of it's holdings under the State lCQnsti-
tuition would be considered by the Legis-
lature. .,.t .a,,..I ..
The interference Of railEQad corpora
tons with legislation, State and Federal,
is one Of the great evils Of our, time. al Up
some States the Legislatures, are almost
as completely in control of the, railroads
as their own officials and employees Rail4
elect members of both houses of Congress
and one of the. problems which dave con.
.fronted every national administration, fon
many years past is the infringement. OF
railroads upon the public uemain and
their BefusaLto comply with their.'obligal

can control its Legislature. I'd
ofesist the beginning of evil insthis. diftcI
ton is the plain duty of those Who dfes
aehtrnsted with the legislative power. Thei
Jourhals ih favor Of the fullest protec-.
tioh of railroads and I'LL other Corpora
tfons in their rights and all their 1egiti
mate undertakings" The Journal is as
Absolutely" fixed In its determination to-
oppose every attempt by corporations to
exercise undtle innuence in the politics
of the State or the nation, or to grasp
privileges and powers which conflict with
the public welfare. If the Southern
Railway does not intend to move in this
direction, it has been unfortunate in its
methods Of profferfing fayOrs to those
who are to hold the. scale between it and
the public. 9.... J.t.t.
we are pot prepared to tbipk that these
methods, will, be. approved and accepted
even BY those members of the Georgia
Legislature who are willing to use passes
on the Southern BanwaYzt-for. we cannot
believe that. they wnuldapPly for. such fa-
vors to the attorney of that corporation,
on do anything else. which would place
then under obligation to an interest 81

WILL THE PoPULIsTs ELECT A
GOLD SENATOR?

Mr.. Holton, Republican chairman, 10
quoted as saying that Mr.. Pritehard
will be elected 70 the Senate now that
MFR. Mckinley has been chosen Presi-
dent, but that if Mr.. Bryan had been
elected free silver, man would have
been chosen over Mr.. Pritchard. f-.
This is the severest reflection yet made
on the Populists 1t is equivalent to
saying that they would go wherever the
pie counter was found 1t is, also equi-
valent,to. saying that Mr.: Pritchard can
not be elected unless he can secure the
support of Populists BY promising them
office under, Mckinley. 3s,- 4,v'1s
IL And $50 it has come to this that the
Republicans make no secret Of their belief
that they can buy the United States
Senatorshjp for an advocate. of the gold
standard with few Federal offices. 1T
,6anhbt be denied that the trade they
made in giving up the Office of State
Auditor justifes their confidence that the
Populistaean4 I've, caught. with h golden
hook. 1t may be, however,, that. those
elected TO the Ls5;gislatuire when they see
that they can have the Senatorship for n,
silver man without a STRUGGLED they are
united tiey win .9ie st6|F'! to vote for a
gold man for Senator.
Mr.. Hqlton may, have. ground for his
belipf that "a few otlites-.t VIA buy P6pti-'
list support aforihis gold eahdiidte Tor The
Senate but there, ,; are pop9list leaders,
some Of whom, worked for fusion intthe
recent election,' who declare that to vote
for a. gold Senator when they have the
power or dleftfhg d silver Senator, would
forever damn The party, and that it win
not thus commit suicide.

1.-THE danger that hangs over the

fraud which corrupts and destroys "a
the integrity of the vote in small
spheres, advances from neighbor-
hoods to State,-and- from States to-
larger sections, rising till 1t touches

LEGISLATORS AND FREE PASSES


We publish to-day an editorial that APP
peared in Fridays Atlanta Journal that
ought to arrest public attention at this
time.
The Legislature Of North Carolina will
meet in annualsessien in just two months.
Among other questions it win he called
unon to consider is the recent lease of the
North Carolina railroad to the Southern
Railway. Therefwas much opposition to
that lease at the time it was made, and
there is strong public sentiment favor
able to annulling the whole 2transaetion
if it can be. legaaly done; " thateannot

We do not say flat all legislators who
accent passes are thereby influenced to
act improperly on Oh , p'ubie" questions, but
weTd5 say Fhht no legislator ltfss the,

road. The State allows mileage of ten
cents mile, ndxS.s estt of a ,,'eesslatoSs

right to draw this money and then go to

pass. Aside from the possible impro-
pSrfiety Of accepting, courtesy from those
upon whose contentious he is to pass, the
legislator bught 10 paS nis way on die
railroad, or he ought pot to draw the
mileage allowed him by law.
