Presidents, if precedents be sought, are
not lacking in justification of the right Of
the United States to take such steps as seem
necessary to guard her interest and those Of
the European Powers and avert the DANCE
rous possibility Of foreign complications.
A firm attitude in the present crisis, backed
up with convincing display of naval po-
'toer, would be another precedent, one, more.
over, that must infallibly strengthen the
hands of the administration at Washington
in future negotiations about the csual, no
matter what route is under consideration.
From all points of view, commercial, hu.
maDitarian or diplomatic, d. cided action is
called for if the United States would restore
order out Of chaos nov and guard against
foreign complications, possibly evtn foreign
war, in the future.
From commercial standpoint energetic
measures are desirable in view of the vast
interests involved from humanitarian
standpoint because prompt action would
probably prevent fuiher bloodshed, thirty
five thousand lives having been sacrificed
already in the Colombian upheaval of the
last year and half, and from a diplomatic
standpoint from the certainty that decided
attitude now would indispose any European
Power to intrigue with Central American
governments for territorial concessions dis
guised as leases Of ports, islands, SC. For
it would be interpreted as significant ma.
nifestation of the deter .nination of the Am
erican people to resist by every means in
their power any attempt to encroach upon
tker supremacy.
Thus, as an assertion of the predominant
rights of the United States to protect the
Central American republics against the
dangers of their own reckless acaywardness,
it would be difficult to- overestimate the
value Of prompt, determined action.
In the first place, the object sought by
such intervention--namely, the restoration
of peace and orde-could now be achieved
easily, without bloodshed, at small cost
efficiently and to the glofy and honor O.
those controlling the foreign policy of thu
United States. If action be delayed unit
the confsgration spreads and possibly in
wolves some European Power the same ent
can be obtai-ed only with difficulty and a
the cost of terrible bloodshed and the ex-
penditure of millions of dollars.
In the second place, it should not be over
looked that if the United States shirks it
plain duty in this matter it may, probably
will, be taken up by SONS Power anxious tt
obtain foothod upon the American con
tinent. Almost the total Indebtedness O.

Below appears an editorial from the New
York Heraldn the sentiments expressed 10
which have excited wide spread comment
A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.
As time goes on and the Central Ameri
can conflict increases in intensity and gives
every indication OF developing into wal
between Colombia and Venezuela, the duty
OF the United States to impose its authority
upon the combatants becomes as Gear as
its right is inexpugnable.
Neither Europe nor the United States
particularly the latter, can afford to regard
with Indifference continuance Of the state
OF political unrest, lawless agitation and
armed rebellion in tentral America In one
respect, namely, the trans-ishmian routes OF
transport, the question is oue of vital i'm
portance to all the commercial Powers.
w lille statesmen everywhere are PROBABLY
unanimous in deploring the necessity Of a
restriction of the natural righl of the Central
American republics to settle their mutual
differe nces as best BELTS the dignity or tenn
perament OF the populations concerned all
must acknowledge that the exercise of the
right can be tolerated only SO long as it
leaves unaffected the interests of neutrals-
that is, the interests of the United States
and Europe The moment the warrins fac.
tions ignore or infringe this esential condi-
tion Intervention be comes a commsl cial obli
CATION, and as the paramount Power on the
American continent the duty of interven-
ing devolves upon the United States.
The right IS equally we'll defined BY oul

lines of interoceanic communication across

State, giving the United States the right t

LITIGATION PENDING.
Georgia Railroad, w. Ry. of A. and
Central VIII be Parties.

Central VIII BE Parties.
Atlanta, Aug. 21.-The Georgia Rail-
rOad. it was announced to-day, has re-
fused to pay the back taxes for twelve
years on the 600 Western Railway
OF Alabama stock, which it holds, and
suit for the amount, something like
Sl40. 900 will have to he brought. Con-
troller General Wright will issue an ex-
ecution, and suit will be filed by the
attorney general. A similar case may
arise in connection with the Central of
Georgia Railroad Company. That cor
poration also holds 81, 900 of stock
of Western Railway of Alabama. The
status of this property, however, for
the purposes of taxation, is held some
what differently from that in the Geor-
gia ltailroad case. The Central Rail-
way officials claim that the stock said
to be owned by the Central is not own
ed by it, but is held by the Central
Trust Company Of New York, a nom
resident corporation. 1t is admitted
by the Central officials that they still
vote the stock and collect the dividends
Upon 1T, but are not the real owners OF
1T. and therefore not liable for taxes
upon it.
The attorneys for the Central and at
torney General Terrell are still trying
TO reach an agreement regarding the
matter.

The Exhibit at the Charleston Ex-
position viii he One of Great Merit.
Charleston. S. c., Aug. 21.-Some
idea of the extent and Importance of
the livestock exhibit of the South Car
olina Interstate and West Indian Ex-
position may be obtained from the fact
that the exposition authorities have set
apart no less sum than $4,000, to be
awarded in cash prizes to the various
exhibitors. This does not represent, Of
course, the total outlay of the expo
sition company in this department. A
vast number of the most handsome and
expensive medals will be struck off to
be given to the successful contestants,
and furthermore, many very costly sill
yer prizes will be assigned to indi-
vidual exhibits of merit. This depart
ment, as is generally known, has been
placed under the general management
of Mr.. George H. Weston, who is the
superintendent of the famous Bilt-
more estate of George Vanderbilt near
Asheville. Mr.. Weston has shown the
greatest possible energy and intelli-
gence in the conduct of his work. He
had a wide acquaintanceship to start
with, with the owners and breeders of
fine stock of every character through
out America. He has placed himself in
close communication with many of
these, and has already obtained from
them assurances of exhibits here which
will render the livestock department
one of the most conspicuous features of
South Cardinals great fair. Mr.. Wes-
ton has recently announced that ex-
hibits will be made in his department
from over twenty states, and he is in
communication with stockmen else
where which may greatly increase the
length and importance of this list with
in the next six weeks or two months.

FOR RETTER SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Com missioner GIenn's Report Upon
Inadequacy of Rural Facilities.


Atlanta Aug. 21.-One of the most
interesting facts shown by the figures,
which will be presented to the next ses-
sion of the General Assembly in State
School Commissioner Glenn's report is
that many hundreds of families are
still leaving the country and TAX
ing up their homes in the cities where
their children attend the city SCHOOLS.
The inadeqL acy of the states school
system viii bring from Commissioner
Glenn one Of the strongest pleas that
has ever been made on local taxation
for school pun poses. This plea will be
embodied in the annual report and will
be sent specially to every member of
the General Assembly who will be
urged to support a measure in his re-
spective branch of the Legislature look
ing to the enactment of law granting
counties the right to incorporate for
the purpose of school taxation. This
system is regarded by Commissioner
Glenn as the only one which can be
put into practical operation over the
state for the benefit of schools of Geo.
gia. During the past year the commits
sioner has visited every county and
has on many occasions before large au-
diences of country folks advocated IN
strong and vigorous language this plan

OAC AoAs
Atlanta, Ga. Aug. 21.-Judging from
a telegram received to-day at the Elk
ecutive Department from Tattnall

gram was sent by William g. Worrell,'
first lieutenant Company d, cavalry.

rescued prisoner from Constable But
ler in Liberty; further, it said that the
negroes were gathering from all parts
of that immediate section; that they
were purchasing all available arms
and ammunition, and were making
grave threats against the whites. The
concluding portion of the telegram
read: Citizens and court officers want
our company TO maintain order. Ours
is most accessible military organiza-
ton. Answer"
Immediately after the telegram had
been referred to him, Adjt. Gen. Rob-
ertson wired the sheriffs OF Liberty
and Tattnall to the effect that 1t is
within their province to call on the
military in an affair of this kind, after
notifying the executive department of
