There is no doubt as to the inten-
tion Of Congress in putting small
stamp tax on telegraph and telephone
messages, sleeping-car and steamship
tickets, express receipts and various
other instruments and articles issued
or used by corporations. Its object
was to collect portion of the war
taxes from the great corporations that
pay enormous profits and yet contrib
ute nothing to the support of the
Government which issues aud protects
their patents, guards their property
and in many cases pays them large
sums of money for service. Yet nearly
all these corporations are making their
customers pay for the stamps, thus
giving a new proof Of the truth OF the
saying that 'sthe consumer pays for
all"

The bill, providing for voluntary
and involuntary bankruptcy, recently
passed by Congress, has received the
approval of the President and is now
a law. 1t is not an ideal bill, but at
any rate it meets in reasonably
effective way long-existent public
need. Itprovides for voluntary bank
ruptcy, leading to the discharge of
the honest debtor who through mis-
fortune cannot pay his debts, but who
gives to his creditors all that he has
and asks for the privilege Of begin

for the involuntary and enforced bank

that compelled the repeal Of the two

A newspaper correspondent writing
from Washington has directed atten-
tion to the fact that out Of total Of
ninety men in the United States Sen
ate thirty-two are veterans Of the civil
war. This is rather remarkable when
it is remembered that that war ended
a generation ago. The house also has
large per centage of war veterans,
despite the rush of younger men into
political life. Reflections on these
facts causes one to feel like America
is good country to be born in and
that chances here are for long life. 1t
shows also a vigorous race of peo-
pie.

AS we stood in the Union depot of this
CITY last week and waved farewell to
the boys of the Fourth Tennessee Regi-
ment, who were setting out for their
camp at Knoxville. the scenes of 1861
came back with great vividness to our
mind. Young as we then were-only
twelve when Fort Sumter fell-we were
very anxious to put on uniform and
take musket. How then could we
blame our eldest son, now Just nineteen,
for wanting to follow the flag? If any

A CHEAP LEGISLATURE.

We don't know anything more about the
legislature of New York than we see in
the papers OF that state. II seems, how
ever. that some of the New York pollt-
clans haven't a very high opinion of its
honesty-at least they think that it can be
bought cheaply. In Sundays New York
Herald there is an interview with Col.
John Gaynor, who is very well known in
this city, he having had large contracts
for Savannah river work. In that inter
view, Col. Gaynor indirectly gives his opin-
ion of the honesty of the legislature of his
state.
1t seems that the Syracuse Herald, his
home paper, published a story TO the effect
that Col. Gaynor had bought a place for
himself on the state Democratic commit
tee by paying four members of the state
convention from the county of Onondaga
the sum of $4,000 to vote for him as a
member of the committee.
Col. Gaynor was asked by the Herald
what truth there was in the story. He de-
clared that there was no truth in it what
ever The Herald quotes him as saying:
THE story is preposterous on the face of
1t. Why, for $4,000 one could buy whole
legislature. Why, then, should one pay as
much money as that. when $500 or $500
would do?"
We assume, Of course, that Col. Gaynor
referred to the legislature of his own state,
since his experience in politics has been
confined almost wholly to that state. If
Col. Gaynor's estimate of the amount for
which the New York legislature can be
bought is correct il is not to be wondered
at that the business interests of the state
regard with alarm the approach of the
time of the meeting of the legislature.
And how did Col. Gaynor get the informa-
ton that the legislature can be bought for
so small sum of money? Is 1t common
talk at the state capital that the iegisa-
ture is for sale upon terms to suit almost
any purchaser?
into by the reformers of New York. Col
Gaynor has long been prominent in the
politics of the state. Therefore, his talk
cannot be brushed aside as the ISLANDERS
of street corner loafer. Perhaps Col.
Gaynor could give some information as 10
where the millions of dollars appropriated
for state canals under Republican admin
istrauons have gone, since it is claimed
that but q small portion of the money has
gone into the canals.

END OF TIE CAMPAIGN.

The state campaign practically ended
last night with the big meeting in this
city. Col. Gambler may take part in the
demonstration in his home county to-day
but the work of the campaign may be con-
sidered as completed, except that which
VIII be done at the polls tomorrow. Ii
is not question as to whether Col. Can
der viii be elected, but as to the size
Of his majority. Some of the Democratic
leaders place his majority as high as 100,
900. II may be as large as that, but the
chances are that it will not, because so
many Democrats think that as Col. Can
der is sure to be elected there Is no use
of taking the trouble TO go 10 the polls.
That is a mistaken view, and il is regretta-
bic that IT is held by so many members
of the party. The aim should be to give
the Democratic ticket as large majority
as it is possible to give It, for the moral
effect that a big majority would have.
We have no doubt that che Democratic
ticket would have a majority OF 100000 if
Democrats throughout the state would do
their duty. 1t is a fact that the most re-
markable apathy exists among the Pop
ulsfs of all the counties. with few ex-
ceptions. Many prominent Populists have
openly announced their purpose to vote
the Democratic ticket since the Popufists,
in some of the counties, have endeavored
to fuse with the negroes. Ii is safe to say
that the great majority of the Populists
cannot be induced to remain with party
which Is willing to turn the state over 10
the negroes.
One of the reasons why a big majority
for the Democratic ticket is wanted to-
morrow is TO emphasize the fact that the
people of Georgia are against anything
like putting negroes into office. The bad
effects of negro office holding are seen in
North Carolina. The hostile feeling eX-
listing between the races there ought to be
sufficient to prevent any white vote being
cast in this state for ticket composed of
men who, for the sake of political power,
would bring about a condition of affairs
in Georgia similar to that which exists
in North Carolina.
Owing to sickness in his family, Col.
campaign work as he intended when he
was nominated. The people, however, are
weIl acquainted with his views on all state
as well as national issues. They have
every reason to believe that he will make
an excellent governor. They ought, there
fore, to turn out tomorrow and give him
a rousing majority

WOODS woRK AT SANTIAGO.

Gen. Wood, the Military Governor Of
Santiago, Is getting the credit of saving
that town from an epidemic of yellow fe-
YER There has been yellow fever there
this year. but it hasn't become epidemic.
The reason it hasn't. 1t is said by those
who contend that yellow fever can always
be prevented by cleanliness. is because
Gen. Wood gave the town a thorough
cleaning as soon as he took possession of
it, They may be right about 1t. No one
can say with any degree of certainty
whether they are or not. 1t win hardly be
denied, however that Santiago is still
very dirty town-at least that is what
some of the soldiers there write to their
friends here. 1t Is but reasonable to sup
pose that 1t is a dirty town, nothwith-
standing all that Gen. Wood has done to
improve it's sanitary condition. He has
only removed the filth that was apparent
in the streets. He could hardly have done
much towards putting the town in a
thoroughly sanitary condition.
This has not been yellow fever season
in Cuba. There has been very little fever
in Havana-not enough to amount to an
eplueInlcs II Cannot lneISlOTSt Nc Sdlu
that Gen. Wood has prevented an epidemic
of yellow fever in Santiago. If this had
been an epidemic season it is probable that
the fever would have been epidemic in
Santiago before Gen. Wood was appointed
Military Governor of the town. The sani-
tary conditions there were as bad as they
could possibly be.
1t will not be satisfactorily known
whether yellow fever can be kept out of
Santiago or not until the sanitary improve
ments which Gen. Wood has projected are
completed. He proposes to introduce good
water, give the place good house and sur
face drainage and drain the adjacent
lands When all of these improvements
are made 1t will be possible to determine
whether or not yellow fever can be kept
out of Santiago.
Gen. Wood deserves great credit for
what he has done in that city. He has, by
his cleaning-up process, cut down the
death rate fully one-half and greatly i'm
proved the administration of justice. He
has brought about a better feeling be-
tween the insurgents and the loyalists and
has given new life to the town. In a few
days he win have the schools open and
fair start will have been made towards
the new order of things which is soon to
take place In Cuba. But it can hardly be
said that he has prevented an epidemic OF
yellow fever.
