Atkinson makes n Good stnrt.

In the opening speech of his campaign
for the governorship, at Hawkinsville.
Judge Atkinson made several points which
deserve commentator, and should re-
ceive the careful consideration Of the vot-
ers. He is not only in favor OF reduc-
ton of taxation, but indicates how that
desired result may be achieved, without
cutting down either the appropriation for
schools or that for pensions. Il favor re-
ducing the legislative session by half, y
says he. We take it that he means he
favors biennial sessions. Not only would
biennial sessions reduce the cost Of legis-
lation TO the taxpayers. but the people
would be annoyed with fewer factional
and neighborhood acts. and unneeded new
laws and changes In old ones. At present
We have too much legislation. Judge At
kinson is in favor of immigration; of
bringing in new, Industrious home seekers
and workers, to Till the broad acres and
work the forests and mines. thereby in
creasing the taxable values. While they
are creating wealth for themselves, the
new Corners will be creating wealth for the
state. When the taxable property in the
state has been increased, the tax rate can
be decreased without reducing the appro-
priations for necessary and worthy OBJ
jects. The Judge says he is in favor of a
REIMBURSEMENT of the whole tax system OF
the state" and therein lies of the promise
of more equal distribution of the bur-
den, and probably also an increase in the
revenues. Judge Atkinson's opening prom
ises well. 1t has furnished food for
thought

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MARCH. 81, 1898

The House committee on coinage,
weights and measures has reached the
conclusion that we have not an ideal sys-
TEN of coins. Our one-cent pieces, made of
copper. are pretty when they are fresh
from the mint, but in a very short time
they become dirty, dingy and often dan
serous; for they corrode and become poi
sonous. Cents, or pennies" as they are
enormously called, are largely handled by
small children. There is not child prob
ably but often holds pennies In it's mouth.
If the penny is dirty and corroded, and
there is a slight abrasion of the mucus
membrane of the mouth a case of sore
mouth, If not indeed case of blood poi
soning, may result. The five-cent piece
nickeD and the dime (silver) are less OBJ
tectionable, but the former coin is too soft.
After a few years use it becomes smooth,
and valueless unless it can be worked off
on some unsuspecting or ill-informed per-
son. The coinage committee recommends
experiments looking to such change in the
coinage as will do away with the copper
piece and substitute something better than
the nickel alloy in the fve-cent piece If
something could be done at the same time
to the end of getting rid of the old dirty,
greasy, microbe bearing paper bills, and
replacing them with crisp and clean bills,
it would be a good thing.

Aubrey Beardsley, the young English

was the originator of the hideous black
and-white swirls, curves and blotches
now so much affected as the fin de steele

chose 20 reach out for the grotesque and
eccentric in his work; and he was quite
successful. His pictures, though ugly
often ugly to hideousness-were neverthe-
less characterized by a degree of origin
ality and holiness which has been lacking
in the work of his imitators. Beardsley

was so badly injured during the time of

Senator Proctor said that while in Cuba
he found representing this country no
members of his own political party, but
Democrats and ex-Confederates, and he
periodically added: but there is a broad

partisanry buried and forgotten in the
overwhelming wave of patriotism and ma
