as will cause the neutrality we
may at any time resolve upon to
be scrupulously respected. When
belligerent nations, under the inn
possibility of making acquisitions
upon US, will [not] lightly hazard
the giving up provoeation; when
we may choose peace or war, as
our interest guided by justice shall
counsel.
"Why forgo the advantages OF
so peculiar a situation? Why quit
our own to stand upon foreign
ground? Why, by Intervening our
destiny with that of any part Of
Europe, entangle our peace and
prosperity in the tolls Of European
ambition, rivalship, interest, humor
or caprice? 'Tis our true policy to
steer clear OF permanent alliances
with any portion Of the foreign
world"
In no wise, however, do these al
most inspired words affect the
pumpkin head diplomacy Of Gros-
venor of Ohio, the administration
apologist. Equally idle would it
be to quote them to Hay, who
since his return from the St. James
court has no ear for anything. save
with an anglican ring. Doubly
useless would it be to point warns
ing finger to these lines so pros
phetic, so fraught with the intelli-
gence and foresight of the great
commoner, to the probable wiles of
an entangling alliance, to men who
profit by government contracts or
those who seek political power
through this professed friendship or
who fawn upon monarchical forms.
Men with a modicum of political
wit or those whom policy or the
favor of political organizations have
made prominent affect to make
light OF the provisions of the con-
stitution as it affects imperialism
and deride the sayings Of the im>
perial great of our early history,
but these only show their neither
end in so doing when their acts and
their words are compared with the
momentous sayings and written
papers upon which was founded the
greatest republic known to man and
which they now imperil by policy
totally foreign to government
whose wealth, power and individ>
ual rights have been created by the
men and conditions whose words
and whose policy should obtain

WORDS OF WASHINGTON.

Just at the present time, when
Joe Chamberlain has attached us,
willy nilly, to the coat tails OF John
Bulls foreign policy, a defensive
and aggressive alliance, or some
other tommy rot, to which Seere-
tary Hay gives servile assent, it
would be we'll for us to look back
and read somewhat of our early
forebears and what they thought OF
such things.
No more forceful document can
be quoted upon this question pos
sibly than those immortal lines
penned by Washington on taking
farewell of his countrymen on re-
firing to private life. And they
come to us just now with more
solemn portent on the eve OF the
hundredth anniversary Of his death
which occurs Thursday.
So full indeed are the counsels of
Washington upon the subject OF
our foreign relations and SO aPpli>
cable are they as solemn warning
for the present, despite our growth
and changing conditions since his
time that, it is hard to choose the
most important. But we believe
the following lines are the quintes-
sence of all he has said:

duees variety of evils. 1t leads
also to concessions to the favourite

tanned, and by exciting jealousy,
ill-will, and disposition to retal>

privileges are withheld. AS avenues
to foreign influence in innumerable
ways, such attachments are partic-
ularly alarming to the truly ems

The great rule of conduct for

ON THE RIGHT LINE.

The grand jury of Fulton county has
pointed out to the Legislature one kind Of
legislation that is greatly needed in this
state 1t has asked that law be enact
ed requiring that any one seeking to put a
firm, company or business institution of
any sort in the hands of a receiver, shall
be compelled to give bond to indemnify
those who would be injured if the receiv-
ership should be denied.
It is now in the power of any one having
a little interest in a financial institution
or business enterprise to apply for a re-
ceiver for the institution or the business.
without mourning any liability for dam
ages. In many cases the parties applying
could not repair the damage they do if an
effort were made to collect damages from
them.
1t is the pretty general belief that ap-
plications for receivers for companies or
financial institutions which are thought to
be embarrassed are often made for the
sole purpose of getting possession OF their
assets and administering them. In many
cases if the embarrs ssed concerns were
left alone they would come out of their
troubles all right. The owners of the assets
of concerns which are placed in the hands
Of receivers get very little of them.
The greater part of them are dis
tributed among the lawyers, receiv-
ers masters aud clerks of courts
The most of them go into the pockets or
the lawyers. Strange as it may seem, the
courts which are supposed to protect the
rights of property owners have the idea
apparently that ii is their duty to be as
liberal as possible in making allowances
to receivers, and the attorneys who figure
in receivershp cases.
Not only should there be law compell-
ing applicants for receivers to give bond
but there should be legislation fixing the
amounts which judges can award receiv-
ers and attorneys in receivership cases
The hberality of courts in giving away
other peoples property is SO great that a
limit should he placed upon it.

One of the states principal sources OF
revenue is from licenses 20 liquor deal
ers. The money thus raised goes into the
school fund. The amount now devoted 10
school purposes is about as small as the
people are apt TO b content with Should
the prohibition bin pending in the Legis-
lature become a law, it would occasion
large reduction in the states income. How
would the Prohi5itionists make up the de
hciency? That is a point which seems 70
have been given but little attention by
them so far as the public have been in
formed. Would they increase the taxes
on real estate and personality That meth
cd would hardly have the approval OF the
taxpayers, even of the prohibition coun-
ties. sun. il would be necessary to find
ways and means by which TO raise tens
Of thousands of dollars per year.
Chatham county contributes annually
$4,000 to the state school fund. From that
fund she gets back annually about $4,000,
making her donation towards the educa-
ton of the children of other counties $5o-
OO0 This money comes largely from the
liquor licenses of the county. Under the
prohibition law this flow of money from
Chatham to the country counties would
be shut off How would they make It up?
The local option law has worked won
derfully well in Georgia. Under it three
fourths of the counties have voluntarily
chosen prohibition; and each county has
enjoyed home rule. No community has
been compelled to accept something it does
not want nor has any been denied that
which it does want. Under local option
the good and safe Democratic principle OF
local lf-government obtains. This prin-
ciple might be carried still further in the
law by striking six words from the stat
ute as it stands. 1t now provides that
no license to sell liquor shall be granted
except in incorporated cities and towns"
without the consent of the nearest prop
erty owners or residents to the place
where the liquor is proposed to be sold
Strike out the words quoted, and local
option will be extended to communities
and neighborhoods as well as to coun-
ties, whether these communities and neigh
borhoods are in incorporated cities and
towns or not. The law thus amended
would result in the reduction of the num-
Der of drinking places in the cities, and
would conflne the bars to those sections
in which there was no objection to them
And at the same time there would be no
sudden elimination of a source of revenues
to make necessary higher taxation.

1G TO I'm THE ELECTIONS.

Tt is stated that when Mr.. Bryan re-
ceived from the ex-chairman of the Dem
ocraiic State Committee of Massachusetts,
on Tuesday night dispatch to the effect
that Boston, which gave Mckinley 1900
majority, had gone Democratic by 1900
majority, Mr. Towne, a prominent silver
lite who was present. said: THAT shows
where the gold Democrats have been"
And does it not show that the number
of them is quite large? And is it not prob
abe that If silver is made a leading issue
in 1900 they VIII be then just where they
were in 1896?
These are questions that are worthy of
the most careful consideration by the Dem
ocratic leaders. The Fuslonists carried

sert that, owing to the popularity Of Mr..
Bryan, the Democrats, without regard 10

ticket-gold Democrats as wen as silver

Can the gold Democrats of Nebraska or
any other state be depended upon 10 vote
the Democratic ticket in the national cleo
ton in 1900 if silver is the leading issue?
1t is probable that the gold Democrats
generally voted the Democratic ticket this
year. the election not being a national one.
Doubtless their votes were chiefly instru-
mental in bringing Maryland back into
the Democratic fold
1t is doubtful if the silver question play
ed a very important part in the election
in either Ohio or Kentucky. In Ohio the
Republicans made a special effort to have
