The Convict Bill.

Our Atlanta dispatches say that the ne
cessity for providing a system for taking
care of the state convicts paralyzes ap-
parenuy the energies of the legislature.
A system must be adopted at this session.
because the present leases of the convicts
viii expire before the time for the meeting
of the next legislature.
No one who watched closely the efforts
of the penitentiary committee to agree
upon system for caring for the convicts
is surprised at this statement that the en-
ergies of the legislature are paralyzed by
the convict business.
The whole trouble seems to be the ina
bility Of anybody to suggest a system that
wouldn't cost the state anything. We
have no doubt that the legislature would
agree upon a system In short order If
there were an abundance of money avail
able for convict purposes. As a matter of
fact there isn't a cent, and there Is no
way of getting money except by taxation.
sim, some provision for caring for
the convicts must be made. The people
are against the present system of caring
for them. 1t seems to us, therefore, that
some other system will have to be adopt
ed even If the cost is considerable. The
money must be found somehow, though it
cannot be obtained as the twenty-five
lawyers of the penitentiary committee
finally found out. by the sale of the states
penitentiary land at Milledgevllle.
AS far as we can see the convict ques-
ton is not much nearer being
settled than 1t was when
the penitentary committee was
appointed and instructed to thoroughly in
vestigate the question and report bill
providing for its settlement. The bill
which the committee reported is not like
ly to prove satisfactory to either the legis-
lature or the people, and it is not improb-
able that very great deal of the time of
the legislature will be taken up in discuss
ing various plans which are certain to be
proposed for taking care of the convicts.

street Railroad Privileges.

The city council would make a great
mistake if it should give the guarantee
requested by the street railway company
in respect to Price street. While it may
be that there never will be a demand for a
railway on that street, the city should not
put it out of its power to control that, or
any other street for railway purposes.
Naturally the street railway company is
looking after its own interests only. 1t is
the duty of the council to watch the inter-
ests of the people. 1T must legislate not
only for the present. but also for the flu
ture.
The New York authorities have been
brought to a realization of the fact that
they made a great mistake in disposing of
street railway franchises of that city in
the way they did. They could have Sc
cured for the city a very large annual in
come from those franchises if they had
handled them in a business like way. Now
the city is practically in the clutches of
a powerful street railway syndicate which
is making a vast sum of money annually,
while the city is getting little or no benefit
from the use of its streets.
We do not desire 10 throw any obstacles
in the way of the street railway company
of this city providing better service, but
we do protest against the city's granting
the company the exclusive right to any one
of the streets, for an indefinite period or
to agreeing to forever shut certain streets
against street railroads in order to pro-
mote the interests of the company. we be-
lieye in treating the company with strict
justice, but not in granting it everything
it wants. The interests of the public
should be carefully protected

What do 1 want for breakfast, dear?
My wants are all in mind quite clear:
You-with your cheerful morning smile,
And pretty dress, my thoughts to beguile
Into thinking of flowers, an earnest word
That will all through my busy day be
heard
And make me sure that my morning light
Beams strongly true, cen while dancing
bright.
Be certain to give me these all these,
And anything else that you can or please
But dinner-what do I want for that?
Well, dear, when / enter and doff my hat,
And turn to the table, l want to see you
Standing just as you always do
To make me lose all the forenoon's fret,
And cheer for the afternoons work to get;
Tell me all your news, and I'll tell mine,
And with love and joy and peace we'll
dine.
Be sure to give me these, all these,
And anything else that you can or please
And what for tea? Have 1 any choice?
Yes dear, the sound of your gentle voice
And your gracious presence, 1 always feel
The cares of the day like shadows steal
Away from your soul light, and evening

Comes just in the way love the best.
So when you are planning your twilight
tea,
With a special thought in your heart for
me,
Be certain to give me these, all these,
And anything else you can or please.

The suggestion that Gen. Weyler would
mand in Cuba seem to have been purely
gratuitous. 1t was even insinuated that
Weyler might if he were not humored,
join the insurgents and turn his sword
against the mother country. But the ex-
captain general will return to Spain in
obedience to orders and without making
trouble for himself or anybody else. The
chances are that the people of this coun-
try have never learned of the real Wey-
Ter. He has been painted blacker than
he Is

When the Savannah commission bills
were on their passage Senator Geiger took
the ground that the people
of Savannah knew what they
wanted and should have it, Now
Senator Geiger takes the position that the
people Of Savannah do not know a good
thing when they see it, and they must
have the commissions whether they still
want them or not. At first the senator
took the high ground that he was a rep
resentative of the whole people; now, it
seems, he is content to let it be known that
he is the representative of partisan fac
ton. 1t remains to be seen whether
Senatorial courtesy" will prevail against
the representations which will be made
to the legislature.

1t seems hardly necessary to say that
the city council should give no pledge
which would confirm any street railway
or other corporation in a monopoly of its
line of business. If the street ra lway com
pany draws in it's lines in the southern
part of the city, and abandons certain
streets in other sections, the city should
be left free to make terms with other
companies which might desire to come in
and do business.

The Macon Telegraph asks, rs Teller
democrat?' So far as the Information
goes, Senator Teller holds precisely the
same views that he entertained many
Years ago. He is just as much of a pro-
tectionist as he ever was, and his advocacy
of silver is no new thing. Up to the meet
ing of the republican national convention
of last year, however he was classed as
republican in good standing. If he has
not changed in his political beliefs, how
can he be a democrat?

1t seems that George M. Pullman was
not the inventor of the sleeping car; the
other fellow invented it, and he made the
money out of it. Many valuable patents
have run through about the same course.
The inventor of the sleeping car it ap-
pears, was Theodore T. Woodruff, of Wa
tertown n. Y, who secured patent early
iii the fifties. Mr.. Pullman paid him $780,
900 for his invention and made millions out
of it.
