The Northeastern railroad wrangle

The Northeastern Railroad WrangIe
1t is evident that the members of the
House had given the bill authorizing the
sale of the Northeastern railroad very lit
tie consideration when they passed it on
last Tuesday, because, on the following
day, they reconsidered their action. Since
that time vast amount of information
has been furnished relative to the road
and its affairs which makes it doubtful
whether the state can legally sell the road
pending the existence of the present lease,
and whether it would be for the interest
of the state to sell it even if 1t could do
so legally.
The present lessees Of the road pay a
rental of $1S,6O0. One of the lessees Mr..
E. A. Richards, wants to purchase it for
s2S7, 900. Another 4fof the lessees. Mr..
James p. Harrison, doesn't want the road
sold, and Insists that il the state should
damage he would suffer from the loss OF
his rights in the lease.
While the agent of the state operated the
road its net enarnings were rather less
than $4,000 a year. If 1t cannot be made
to earn more than that 1t is evident that
the lessees have a bad bargain. and that
the road is likely to come back on the
hands of the state. Lessee Richards wants
to extend the road to Augusta and Chat
tanooga, so that he can make it pay. That
Is the reason, it is alleged, why he wants
to buy II.
Two things are pretty evident. The
first is that s2S7, 900 is about all the road is
worth. and The second is that IL the state
keeps the road, and gets $1s.60O year
throughout the period for which 1t is leas-
ed it will save considerable money by
keeping 1t. But In keeping the road there
are risks to be run.
All things considered, It is better for the
state probably to sell the road at it's act
ual value. which seems to be about the
sum fixed in the bill. AS a general rule
It is not good policy for the state to own
/ railroads.

spnin,. intoxicating victory.

From the Chicago Record Qnd).
The glorious achievement of the death of
Maceo is peculiarly intoxicating to the
Spanish mind because it comes as a fore
taste Of a yet more dazzling story.
Thoughtful Spaniards now perceive that
in a few more years the arch rebel Go
mez himself will either be hit by stray
bullet or die of old age, and then there
will be another feast of glory for the proud
nation of Ferdinand and of Phillip.

Too Many Politicians.
The Springfield CMass) Republican Qnd.).

To Senator Quay's remark that there are
business men enough in the Senate to
serve all legitimate purposes, it might be
added that there are also political men
enough. But perhaps the great boss
would not see the point. now that he has
champloned the cause of the farmers and
artisans and laborers against the million
aires. Quay's opposition to the business
men rests deep in the purpose to protect
his own sunremacY.

empt from the bother of maintaining a
gold reserve to protect note circulation.

DR.. Stewart of Rockdale county, men,
Der of the legislature, is opposed to the
proposition to provide a board of dental
examiners, for the reason, he says, that
1t would be foolish to require would-be
dentists to attend college and pass an ex-
animation. He says he can teach any
young man with common sense in two
weeks all that is necessary to be known
about dentistry. There are only two
jaws and thirty-two teeth and any man
with any common sense knows how to
pull TOOTH" the doctor is quoted as say
ing. 1t must have been that DR.. Stewart
spoke in a spirit of levity, and probably
with some of that old-time feeling of the
NJ. DIS against the dentists which would
deny to the latter the title of doctor"
believing tooth carpenter to be nearer
to the proper thing. The fact is, there
are now too many "two-weeks" dentists
in the business, as thousands of people
with ruined teeth, or no teeth at all, rea-
lie in their anguish. Dentistry is a
science and an art. AS much progress
has been made in the practice of the pro-
fession in recent years as in any other
line of scientific endeavor. The quack
dentist-the "two-weeks" dentists as
great humbug and nuisance as the quack
doctor. 1t may be seriously doubted, by
the way, that even Dr. Stewart would per-
NIT "two-weeks" dentist to tinker in
his mouth.

mutual acquaintance. Then all of a sud
