The Folly of Open Gates.

Atlanta has been taught wholesome lesson. A few days ago she was brag- ging about her open gates, and declaring that she was fever-proof. Various cities and towns immediately quarantined against her, and the outside newspapers proceeded to give her a roast
 Atlanta took the hint. She adopted rigid measures of inspection and deten- tion, and no city in the south is now more careful about admitting refugees. If a man coming from the direction Of Mobile is suffering from an ordinary jag he is not allowed to enter the city. The folly of open gates has been made mani- fest. It is hurting business and soaring the people. It is giving the city bad name abroad.
 Hereafter the Georgia capital will fall in line with other cities and unite with them in trying to keep pestilence at a safe distance, ,.

Chicago wanted the southern people to coEne to its exposition in 'ss they called Nixon down. Said that he had to quit abusing the south. Chicago then wanted money. Nixon wanted to get some of it.

Nixon had to take some of his own med.efne the day aEter the Versailles, Ind, mob. He got right down in the dirt and adnasfed there was lots elf crime in the north. He printed the story all right.

A Matter of C0mitY.

It is we'll understood that it Is breacf of comity for government to send ar obnoxious representative to @ friendly nation. The United States recognizes this in its dealings with other countries. Why, then, should the states of this union be treated with less consideration than foreign countries?
 If the government would not sand an unpopular minister or consul to a South American country how can it justify its action in appointing to office in south ern state persons who, on account of their race and other objections, are dis tast sful and repugnant to the great body of the respectable tax payers of that state?
 Mr. Mckinley would not send an ob- 5ectionable person to Spain or to any other foreign country, but he does not respect the wishss and prejudices of Georgia, Alabama and Louisiana. How does he justify this difference?

Political Issues.

In this country it requires very wise man to make political forecast. Even the oldest politician cannot predict six months in advance the issues which will divide the people. Only few months ago it was thought that the force bill was thing of the past, and that the republican administration would make an effort to popularizs that party in the south.
 Now the whole aspect of the situa- tion is changed and it may be that the dangers menacing this section will be- come so grave that all other questions will disappear, and there will again be g solid south on guard against solid north.
 One good result, however, is already in sight. Populism will die a natural death, factions will bury their differ encss, and there will be the biggest re- vival of Jeffersonion democracy that has been seen in this generation. It is no time for southerners to stray from the democratic camp.

 The meaning of this commercial war fare is plain enough. We have in the Dingley bill taxed Argentinas chief ex- ports to us, wool and hides. In 1896 took Argentina wool to the extent of $2,61S,257, and hides to the amount of $5,910,949. In part payment we sent woods to the value of $S54,O61, and vast amount of ploughs, harrows, harvesters and kerosene. This trade is to be check ed, and England and Germany will doubtless resume their monopoly of trade in that quarter. We are driven out by Dingleyism in order that some campaign debts may be paid.
 The south will suffer in the loss of growing trade in yellow pine, and Bir- mingham is hurt prospectively in the cutting off of the trade in ploughs, har- rows and the like, that will soon be made from our brown ores. Such, however, is Dingleyism, the most selfish, sectional and corrupt tarifT policy ever devised.

DingIeyism and Exports.

The deadly work of the Dingley bill
 in decreasing our exports of manufac-
 tured goods is becoming plainer every
 day-the exports which under the Will
 son bill rose steadily to handsome fig- ures. It has turned Canada towards Great Britain: a large party in Ger many is urging prohibitive duties upon American products; Japan is dissatisfied with it's terms, and now the president of Argentina asks the congress of his prosperous state to at once establish prolibitive rates upon yellow pine lum- Der, ploughs. harrows. agricultural ma- chnery. kerosene and farm wagons. These constitute our chief exports to Argentina. In answer to our duties upon wool and hides, he asks that the tariff bilf now pending, place duty of 66 per cent upon yellow pine. 125 per cent on farm wagons, and 100 per cent upon ploughs. harrows. agricultural ma- chinery and kerosene.

Injunctions in Labor Disputes.

The Chicago Times Herald prints sew eral pages on the subject of injunctions in labor disputes. Judge Groascup, of the United States count, says that such dn- junctions are necessary to protect the rights of property and personal liberty. Pref. Rogers, eff line Northwestern uni ver.xity, thinks that agftators and dem agoguoS should mot be peErm. ed to c. it. icise the courts.
 Mayor Harrison, eff Chicago, says that the courts should use their powers more carefully He favors 1egts.atfon on the subject by congress. IExISenator Palmer is not altogether satisfied, but he pre- fers injunction to anarchy. Several prominent labor leaders are quoted as sa yfng that the recerlt Federal injumc- tions against the mine:s fin Pennsylvania and West Virginia are indefensible.
 Judge Walter Clark, of the supreme court of North Carolina, was one of the judges invfied by the Tqmes-H Herald to express his opinion upon this important question. His response was as follows:
 In response ito your inquiry, the prac- lice of issuing injuncdons in labor dis putes is without warrant in reason or precedenlt. Ut is @ bold usurpation by judges who have been appo. .nted to life petitions by influence of great corpora- tions, and who are under no fespons lbil- 5ity for aheir conduct. Tt is a denial to the citizen of the right of trial by jury by judges who enact the law by their own decrees and them execute it by the peinafty for con empt.
 The enly sure remedy is by consti- tutiCnal amendment, which shall make the United States judges elective by the people in their respective districts and circuits for "a term of years. That pub f1J sentiment indorses this corrective power is shown by the fact in every state except tlhree the judges now hold for "a fixed tenn, and in those three they are removable by a vote Of a bare majority of the legislature. lAs to the United States judges, they are seiec cd without i the public having any voice in thefT se- l lection, and ordinarily by influences that | are hostile to popular rights they are 1 subject to no restraints, as srnpeache- 1nent is amIpracticable, and they assume to set aside the acts of congress and to stay the action of the executive at their will. That possessed of this arbitrary and supreme power (which should be in- trusted to no set of mem and by reason of their life tenure (which is unrepub'i- cam subject to no supervision, hhere are notWithSta nding still many worthy men among the federal judges is a tribute to the spirit and training of cur in ti u- tfons. The history of the last few years demonstrates that we can trust no long CT ito this Arbitrary and supreme power Wrll deibauch it's posseissors. It has all ways done so. Judges are no exception to this principle of human nature
