short-sighted Policy

The reason for the Popullst demand for
government control of railroads is not
hard to find. 1t is not so much the hope
that freight and passenger rates would be
lower as 1t the belief that there would not
be so much indifference to the rights of
the people. There are roads which are
managed as If they thought the people
have no rights so far as the railroads are
concerned, except the right to take with
out murmuring what the railroads are
willing to give them.
AT this time we have in mind the Plant
system and its programme for running its
trains, against which programme there
are many and loud complaints. A few
days ago we called attention to the very
unsatisfactory condition of the mail SER
vice in the Georgia territory served by the
Plant system. That service could hardly
be worse. Railroad connections are
missed almost daily and people therefore
fail to get their letters and papers on
time.
Now we complain not only of the mail
service but also of the local passenger ser
vice. 1t could hardly be worse for Savan-
nah. 1t is stated that merchants of Val
dosta and other places west of. Waycross
can leave home a couple of hours before
midnight and go to Atlanta over the Geor-
gia Southern Railroad, transact their bus
mess in that city and get back home ON
the evening of the next day, going and
coming in a sleeper, while to reach Sa-
vannah they must leave home at 6 p. M,
wait at Waycross for two hours, if they
have good luck and get to Savannah be-
tween 1890 a. m. and daybreak. If they
don't have good luck at Waycross there is
no telling when they win reach this city.
And during the night no sleeping accom-
modations are provided.
1t is also stated that though it is going
around the circle, the surest and quckes st
route from this city to Valdosta for mails
and passengers is over the Florida Cen
tral and Peninsula Railroad, and the
Georgia Southern by way of Yulee and
Lake City. Merchants and others living
west of Waycross, who used to visit Sa-
vannah frequently. now seldom or never
come because of the railway difficulties in
the way of doing so.
1t is a question whether it is to the in
terest of the Plant system to he so
neglectful of the business wants of South
ern Georgia. If there were only a little
considerat ton for the rights of the people
In that section by that system it would
not be long before local traffic of paying
dimensions would be built up 1t is a
short sighted policy, it seems to us, which
the Plant system is pursuing-a policy
which neglects local interests in order TO
get tourists into Florida a few
minutes sooner than they would
get there If reasonable at
tention were given to the rights and wants
of the great section of Georgia which is
tributary to its lines.

There is no danger that Mr.. Bryan will
be forgotten as long as the New York
World and New York Journal think his
articles are valuable and reviews Of at
tacks upon him are regarded as interest
ing. The Journal of that city in It's last
Sundays issue gives a page 10 a review OF
the recent article attacking him which it
published a couple of weeks ago, and the
World of the same date publishes a
lengthy article by Mr.. Bryan on Mexico.
In the Journals article defending Mr..
Bryan it is said that Mr.. Bryan would
not abandon the &c to l idea for the chance
of being President of the United States,
and MIR. Bryan in his article on Mexico in
the World attempts TO show that owing
to the fact that silver is currency of the
country Mexico is exceptionally prosper
Gus. Both articles have been read doubt
less with a great deal of interest, and
they will help to keep Mr.. Bryan before
the public.
There is one thing. however, which Mr..
Bryan does not make clear in his article
on Mexico. 1t is this: Is the condition
of the wage earners there as satisfactory
as it is in this country? An answer to
that question ought to be given if Mr.
Bryan really wants to instruct the people
of this country respecting a matter in
which they are profoundly interested. He
says that Mexico is more prosperous than
ever before, and that her manufacturing
industries are paying big dividends and
I'M eli in
Gus because silver Is the currency Of the
country or because the compensation of
labor is much smaller than it is in this and
other great industrial and commercial
countries?
We assume that Mr.. Bryan studied the
labor question carefully when he was in
Mexico and that he did so in order to be
in a position to talk of it intelligently to
the people of this country. Unless wage
earners are paid starvation wages 1t is
difficult to see how manufacturing can
be more prosperous in Mexico than it is
in the United States. When we speak Of
wages we mean, of course, that the cost
of food and clothing shall be taken into
consideration. There are millions of wage
earners in this country who would like to
have the result of Bryans observations of
the condition of the wage earn
ers in Mexico. During the last
national campaign a committee of
wage earners was sent to Mexico by labor
associations to learn the material condition
of wage earners there. 1t would be inter
esting to know whether the conclusions
reached by Mr.. Bryan are similar to those
reached by the committee.
1t is true that Mr. Bryan touches upon
the question of wages and the condition
of wage earners in his article in the
World, but what he says is so unsatis-
factory that wage earners will not find
much information in what he says. What
he should do is to make a plain statement
of facts, such as an American workman
who has had experience in Mexico would
make. What wages per day are paid and
what do articles of clothing and food
cost2

DingIeS,s Remedy.

Hon. Nelson Dingley may not be a wise
man. but he is fruitful of remedies for
evils of which the people of his section
of the country complain. The New Eng
land people who placed confidence in him
thought his tariff would enable the mills
to pay bigger dividends than ever before.
and open the way for higher wages
for the mill hands. They are finding out
they were mistaken. If the Dingley tariff
has had any effect whatever on The cot
ton manufacturing industry it has hurt
rather than helped il, because it has les
sened the ability of the cotton nanufac-
turers 10 find market for their products
in foreign markets.
Mr.. Dingley has another scheme for
helping the cotton manufacturers of his
section. He proposes that the United
States constitution shall be amended so
as TO make the hours Of labor the same
in all parts of the country. 1t is claim
ed that the reason the mills in the South
are more prosperous than those in the
North is that wages are lower and the
hours Of labor are much longer. The mill
hands in New England, under the labor
laws in force in that section, work only
forty-eight hours a week, while the mill
hands in the South work ffty-six. and
often ffty-seven hours a week. Mr.. Ding
ley thinks the difference in wages could
be overcome But he sees no way of over
coming the difference in the hours of labor
except by a constitutional amendment.
The mill operatives of New England will
not consent to laws frightening hours. of
labor and the mill hands in the South
don't want laws fixing shorter hours be-
cause they might then lose the advantage
they now have. The loss of that advan-
tage might lessen the demand for their
labor Hence they are not likely to help
get the New England mills out of their
trouble.
But will not Mr.. Dingley find that 1t is
not an easy matter TO get an amendment
TO the constitution adopted? Outside of
New England where would he get any as
sistanee for the amendment which he pro-
poses? 1t requires three-fourths of all the
states, voting through their legislature,
to amend the constitution of the United
States Would it be possible TO get thirty
four of the states to agree to an amend
i'et'ueioH III tHe peheHC
OF the New England cotton manufactur-
ers? 1t certainly would not
Mr.. Dingley will have to think of some
other plan for getting the New England
cotton mill industry on a more solid foot
ing. AS the New England mill operatives
are especially interested they might be in
duced TO agree to a modification of the
laws preventing employees from working
more than forty-eight hours a week. If
they don't chose to take that course they
will have to continue TO meet Southern
competition. What that competition
means in the very near future is not diff
ficult to forsee. 1t means the removal of
the cotton manufacturing industry from
New England to the Southern states.

The Sentinel Fled From the owls.


A few days ago several ex-confederates,
who happened to meet in an Office Row
room, were discussing Col. Sears 'rWhv
the South Lost" published in the Courier
journal of Sunday, says the Harrodsburg
(hy) Democrat. This led to various kinds
OF war talk, and ex-County Attorney w.
b. AlIln told this one: He said that Just
before the battle of Murfreesboro, a de-
tachment of Morgan's command was
guarding mountain pass a few miles
from Bradyville, Tenn A portion of the
valley leading 10 the pass was densely
wooded and swampy. The marshy ground
abounded in bullfrogs of huge proportions,
and the trees afforded myriads of owls of
immense size, roosting place. Among
the soldiers was a stripping from near
Stanford by the name of Spreeler. 1t was
a gloomy, wild and windy night that
Spreeler was called upon to do guard duty.
Along about l O'Clock, when the sky was
of leaden hue and the wind sighed fit
fully through the trees, an owl on a near
by limb hooted:
''Who-who-who are you?"
John Speeier" exclaimed the sentinel
trembling in his boots
Just at that moment bullfrog, in deep
bass tones, seemed TO say:
Sur-sur-surround him!'
"Tll be darned if you do" exclaimed
Speeler, as he fired his musket, and broke
for camp, which had been thrown into the
widest confusion by the alarm, it being
thought that the enemy was attacking the
outposts. When the true state of affairs
was understood. the others made life a
burden for John until the battle of Muir
freesboro, when the Lincoln county strip
ling was promoted for conspicuous
bravery. He was afterward assigned to
Bragg's army, and died like hero at the
battle above the Clouds" while in the
forefront of the charge and trying to spike
an enemy's cannon.

klOndike Fakes,

The reading public is rapidly coming to
the conclusion that the stories which have
appeared in the public prints about the
difficulties in the way of reaching the
Klondike mining region and also of the
danger from starvation at Dawson CITY
originated in the fertile imaginations Of
space correspondents. They are fakes
During the past summer it was represents
ed to be practically impossible to reach or
leave Dawson City after oct. l, because
of the snow and ice which block the terri
BILE passes-passes which, it was said. only
the bravest and strongest succeed in get
ting through in the finest weather of sum-
mer-but somehow or other there are ar,
rivals all the time from Dawson City and
have been ever since winter began. Not
only are there arrivals, but considerable
gold is being brought out of the new min
ing region. So far from being starvation
at Dawson City, the probabilities are that
there will be no need whatever for the
relief expedition which the government
was organizing.
Pretty much the same sort of stories
were told about the difficulties of reach
California when the gold hunters began to
go to the gold fields of that state. 1t
would not be regarded such a remarkable
undertaking now to make the trip from
the Atlantic coast to California in a
wagon, or on horseback or even on foot.
So, within a few years, if the gold prom,
ises of the Klondil1e are fulfilled. a trip
to Dawson City from any one of the Pa
cific coast cities will not be thought of as
one full of almost insurmountable diff
culties, even if 1t should have to be made
in the same way trip is now made The
terrors of the journey to Dawson City have
about disappeared
