From the statement made by the gentle
men who purpose TO build railway from
Savannah to White Bluff over the right
of-way of the Vernon Shell Road
Company, there appears to be no
good reason why the amendment pro-
posed to be made to the charter
granted to the company in 1870 should
not be agreed to by the Legislature.
The intention of the projectors of the en-
terprise, as it appears from the Informal
ton given the public, is to construct a
railway on one side of the shell road lead
ing to White Bluff, and then to do away
with the toll gate and its tolls upon travel
There does not seem to be a great deal
in the point made by some of those opposed
TO the projected railway, namely, that the
White Bluff toll road is a continuation of
Bull street, and as such may some day
be wanted for the purpose of extending
that street.
The owner of the shell road has time af-
ter time offered that property to the Coun-
ty Commissioners, but they refuse to pur-
chase, and spent considerable sums of pub
lie money in constructing other roads cal
culated TO render valueless the investment
in the White Bluff shell road property
The city doubtless could have occurred the
shell road on the same terms as those
proposed to the County Commissioners,
and it was suggested in the Morning
News at the time that it might be II
for the city to acquire an int rest in the
road looking to the future extension Of
Bull street.
Now that the owner of the shell road
proposes to have a railway built along the
side of it, thereby giving both county and
city improved means of communication
and releasing travel of the embargo Of
the toll gate, the whole power Of the city
and county governments is to be evoked
to prevent the construction of the railw "
In view of the literally of the city and the
county, especially the former, to the rail-
way which now controls all the city and
suburban lines, it begins to appear as if
there were other reasons for trying 10 shut
off the building of this line to White
Bluff other than the good Of the dear
people,"

BIGGER sALARIEs FOR Judges.

1t is doubtful if Congress win agree to
the recommendation of Attorney General
Griggs relative to increasing the salaries
of United States judges, The recon-
mendation is to double the salaries of oil
the judges from the Supreme Court to the
District Court. The salaries of the judges
are not high, but they are high enough to
command the very best legal talent If
the salaries we're double the standard of
the judges, either morally OF Intellectual
ly, would not be higher. That, however,
is not a conclusive argument against the
Attorney Generals recommendation. The
judges ought to receive fair compensa-
ton.
In considering the question of salaries,
however the fact that the judges hold
their positions for lie, if not removed for
cause, and receive a pension after they
reach the age for retirement, must be
taken into consideration. There is no great
need therefore for judges to put by a for
tune for old age.
II is doubtful if Congress will raise the
salaries of judges or of any other class Of
ofiiceholders before raising the salaries of
its own members. 1t is safe to say that
there is not a member Of the present Con-
gress who would not vote to raise con-
gressmen's salaries If he were not ufraid
the people would object. And there is no
doubt they would object. The opinion is
quite general that the average member Of
Congress is paid quite as much as he
could earn in business or a, profession.
and it is probable that the same is true
Of the judges.
But does It not seem remarkable that
these recommendatio lions for increasing ex-
penses come as a rule a a time when the
burdens of the country are heaviest? The
people are now growing a the war taxes.

GREAT MEN IN CONGRESS-.

Senator Depew of New York was heard
There is a rule in that body--an unwritten
rule-that new senators may be seen but
not heard. Senator Depew did not make
his voice heard in the Senate chamber
but he spoke to a larger audience through
the newspapers. He published an article
in The World, over his own signature, the
day after the meeting Of the Senate. in
v hich he gives his impression, when he was
being sworn in as a senator and his opin-
ion of the men who make up the member
ship of that body.
He says that when he stood before the
bar of the Senate he felt that he was
member of the most exalted legislative
body on earth, and that his feelings were
inexpressibly' emotional" He no doubt
thinks that such feelings were worth all
the efforts he made to get into the SEN
ate. Probably Mr.. Clark of Montana,
against whom charges have been made,
will begin to realize what he is in danger
of missing when he reads the descript on
Of Senator repews fee ings at the time
the latter was taking the senat T al oath.
ator Depew makes in his newspaper com
munication that is likely to attract atten-
ton and come in for a share of comment
1t is this II want to say that there are
men in Inc United States Senate to-day
who are equal, if not superior in point of
intelligence, to any man who served in
Congress in ante-belum days"
This OpiniOrn from, c,1ob bir,b .o,,,.e.
will carry great comfort to the Ameri-
can people. Great questions were settled
in Congress in ante-bellum times and they
were settled with consummate ability.
There are some very important questions
pending before Congress now. Let us see
if these questions viii be settled as wise
ly as were the great questions which oc-
cupied the attention of Congress in ante
bellum days. Senator Depew's belief
that they viii is comforting
Senator Depew says that the regulations
Of statesmen in ante-bellum times were
made by half-a-dozen Newspaper writers
who stayed at the national capital during
the sessions Of Congress Now, however.
owing TO the rapid way in which inteln-
gence is distributed throughout the coun-
try, newspaper writer's cannot make rep
utations for public men. Public men must
stand on their merits. and whatever rem
utation they have for ability they nave
earned. Senator Depew apparently over
looks the fact that the regulations of che
great ante-bellum statesmen stand the
test of time. That is the best test Of
greatness.
