PAY OF TEACHERS IN GEORGIA.

Georgia is a great State and sometimes her papers are disposed to speak some | what patronizingly of affairs over on
 this side the Chattahoochee. As Georgia | is the older State and stands somewhat in the position of mother to Alabama we receive her reproofs with due humili- | ty. but when it comes to the public | school system we hardly think Ma can afford to challenge comparison. A writer | in The Atlanta Journal, M. B. Dennis. has this to say of the way the teachers fare in the way of payment:
 Before the property funds muddle was unearthed and passed upon by the courts. the teachers received each year by April about two months salary. By the 20th of the following December another months wages. A month later the bal ance, which, by the way, in consequence of the heavy tithing by banks and money sharks for loans during the year, has
 been reduced to a pitiful sum. As the pub lie school term in many counties in the State begins in the fall, it will be seen
 that numbers of teachers are forced to
 work and wait through sixteen long
 months before receiving full settlements
 for their labor. They complete the work of one public school term of five or six months, pass through their vacations or periods of Information, and before re- ceivings settlements for labor done the past term have advanced three or four months into the work of another. As this statement appears in The Jour- nal without comment or denial we must assume that no denial is possible, and 1t is certainly an unfortunate condition of
 affairs. What encouragement have teach
 CTS to teach the schools. and what in-
 centive is there to the youths of that
 State to prepare themselves to teach un-
 der such conditions as MT. Dennis sets forth? As a general thing teachers must depend on their pay for living, and if
 the pay fails to come no one need won der if good teachers should hesitate be-
 already engaged in the occupation should
 quit and seek employment where the pay
 is sure, even if the work Is harder or
 less congenial.
 We should not have thought of using such harsh criticism as the writer does,
 but he asserts that the manner in which
 the teachers. of Georgie are treated lis a shame upon Georgia and crime against the teaching profession" and we are not disposed to take issue with him. Nor are we surprised at his suggestion that all the public schools of the State be suspended for one year, or until ar- engagements can be made to pay the teachers. It is certainly an unfortunate state of affairs over on the other side of the river.

The only thoroughly independent Con- gressman is the one Populist member of that body. Caucuses and party whips have no power to disturb the even tenor of his way. He can vote as he pleases and there is no one to call him to ac- count, or charge him with violation of and hold his own caucus. and snap his fingers in the faces of all other members. He really has a soft snap, if he but knew it.

A Good Idea.

Chattanooga Times.
 Senator Hoar's somewhat tentative sus- gestion that the Senate ought to declare both South Carolina Senatorships vacant, is a good one. The country will be grateful If it shall be acted on and the two misf1ts carried out by the scaven- gers who look after the basement of the Capitol building. Their absence could be no loss to South Carolina, and would be a grateful temporary relief for the we'll hammered people of the country. By all means, send them both back to their and give the country a short rest.

The ordinary municipal boodler when he figures out that Salisbury only got two and a half per cent on the con- tract price will probably be of the opin- ion that the sentence is a righteous one.

But we do say and believe that all such political schemes as Con- gress attempting to go behind the Con- stitution of the State of Alabama, and constitute themselves a judicial body passing upon constitutional friction that may or may not exist between our con- stitution and the Constitution of the United States, is only calculated to make Congress before the intelligent trained eyed of the Nation appear as fool.

What if 1t does cost billion dollars to run the government? The government is worth it, and the country is big enough and rich enough and prosperous enough to afford it.-kansas City Journal.
 That is the argument of the Iooter in all countries. What matters it that the people are burdened with revenue taxes, robbed by protective tariffs and squeezed by Republican-protected trusts? Is not this a great country and must it not get ride of the surplus? The government is worth it. is an argument which will excuse any form of robbery which the party in power cares to commit

 The President knows that no reciprocity treaties on the lines he has laid down can possibly be negotiated.

The grafters in Congress believe that the way to reduce the surplus is to in- dulge in all sorts of public eXtrava- sances, but the rank and file of their con stituents are of the opinion that the best way would be to reduce taxation. The objection to this will lie in the opposi- tion of the favored interests who are at the bottom of the corruption of the public service.

selling to Indians, next to mining and

Of Nevada and complain that every year
useful citizens are taken from their

that if the extreme penalty be inflicted

This would be a step in the right d.
r~ection, but nothing will stop it but the
administration Of a like punishment to
the Indian. Every Indian by this time
knows as we'll as every white man
that he has no more right to take than
the white man has to give. So,
the Indian TO accept, knowing full
we'll the punishment he is bringing on
the white mans head. makes himself
as great a coward and a criminal as
the white man, and he should likewise
be punished.
If the Indian who accepted whiskey

ness would cease. The Indian is the
