REPUBLICAN LAwLEssNEss.

In his speech at Cooper Union, New
York city, on Friday night former
Secretary of State Richard Olney, hit
the Republican party a telling blow.
He compared its disregard for law to
the lawlessness of the qynchers. He
called attention to the Republican
party's violation of treaties and inter-
national law, as in the case of the
wanton war upon Columbia when the
most important part of her territory
was taken from her, to its act in set
ting aside a statute which requires the
collection OF duty on foreign coal, to
its depositing the public money con-
trary to law for the benefit of Wall
street, to its act authorizing service
pension without the authority of law
and to other acts fully as indefensible.
The Republican leaders denounce
lynching and point out that It brings
the good name and fame of our coun-
try into disrepute. but. said Mr..
Olpey, III those in authority allow
themselves to be law-breakers, is 1t
strange that they should be initiated
by those over whom they are set and
who have a right to look to them for
both example and precept? Is It too
much to ask the Republican leaders
to remember that a mob has as much
right to be law unto itself as a
President or cabinet officer or a con-
gress?"
Mr.. Roosevelt ds learning how the
iawless acts of his administration are
being viewed by the people. Mr..
Olney's view of them is calculated to
make a profound impression. 1t is diff
cult to see how the President can con-
denim in his message to Congress mob
violence in the face Of his own lawless-
ness in the pension order and Panama
matters. The more the people know
of Mr.. Roosevelt the surer they ought
TO be that he IS not the kind Of a man
20 be at the head Of the government.
He isn't safe man.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-10-16

In New York city the betting is to
on Herrick, the Democratic nominee
for Governor. The Republicans call
that "a straw showing the drift of
the hot-air current" Meanwhile, in
respect to the national ticket, the odds
are in favor Of Roosevelt carrying the
state. And the Republicans call that
an infallible indication of the patriot
ism Of the New York voters.

golden RULE" JONES' CHARITY.


golden RULE" JONES' CHARITY.
At the time of the death of the late
Samuel NJ. Jones, Mayor OF Toledo,
which occurred recently, it was sup
posed that he was worth considerably
more than 100000, and probably more
than $2,OOo,OOO. Mayor Jones had be-
come a national character, through his
preaching of the application OF the
Golden Rule to politics and business,
and for the past several years he has
been known throughout the country as
Golden Rule Jones'" Following his
death appraisers were appointed to as
certain the value of the estate that he
left. Mayor Jones himself did not
know what he was worth, hence de-
clined to make a will, but left his
property to be distributed according to
law.
The report of the appraisers, made a
few days ago, shows that Mr.. Jones
not only preached charity and the
Golden Rule, but practiced them in his
every day life. 1t is known that at
the time he became Mayor of Toledo
he was worth about $1,000, 900 and that
his properties were quite profitable.
But in settling up the estate the ap-
praisers found property worth less
than $35O,OOO. The remainder of the
considerable fortune had been distrib-
uted in various manners by the owner
of It. Evidences were found to indi-
cate that Mr.. Jones had given to
charity not less than 100000 a year
for several years, and shortly before
his death 1t is asserted he destroyed
more than 200 promissory notes rang
ing in amounts from $25 to $1,000 each,
on which he never received a cent. The
appraisers say: HE backed many de-
faulters and delinquents in sums rang
ing from IS to s5.OOO and seldom did
one of them make good"
OF Mr.. Jones' goodness of heart and
purity of intentions there can be no
question. But was not his charity
misdirected, wasted, when he backed
defaulters and delinquents?" Very few
of them, it is stated-probably not one
in fifty-ever repaid him, and 1t is
doubtful IL they even felt grateful to-
wards him. People of the defaulter
and delinquent classes rarely know
what gratitude is. They regard the
kind-hearted man who is willing to
help them out of trouble as their legiti-
mate prey. To have him come to their
rescue is. to them, like getting money
from home" They are always willing
and eager to take advantage of such
philanthropy, which seldom, II ever,
makes them better men and citizens.

THE FREIGHT RATE QUESTION.

The Savannah delegation that ap-
peared before the Railroad Commission
on Friday in the matter of railroad
freight rates, made apparently very
favorable impression upon the commits
sion. 1t certainly made Savannah's po-
sition clear in regard to the changes
in the rates that have been ordered
and any others that may be.
1t was shown that Savannah isn't
asking for changes in the rate sched-
ules, but that If changes are made they
should be horizontal, and should go
into effect throughout the state at the
same time.
AS the present rate schedules have
been in operation a long time, about
twenty-five years, it is assumed that
there is no Determinations in favor of
any city or any other part of the state,
because If there were the commission
would have been asked to remove them
long before this.
Therefore, If the rates are fair as be-
tween the various interests of the state
the only thing the commission can do,
if 1t desires 10 be just. and proceeds
to make reductions, is to make a hori-
zontal reduction, thus preserving the
relations in the matter of freight rates
that at present exist between all in
terests.
1t is another question as to whether
there should be a general reduction Of
freight rates. AS far as we are in
formed that has not been asked by
anybody. Mayor Myers. in his talk to
the commission, expressed the opinion
that as the railroads had contributed
and were contributing largely to the
upbuilding Of the state they should be
dealt with justly. AS there have been
no complaints of the rates generally
we assume that the commission will
confine itself to rectifying such Unequal
tiles in the rates as may crop out from
time TO time and TO making changes
when the rates are shown to be heav-
Ter than some particular commodity
can bear. 1t can hardly be possible
that the commission will undertake to
assist any one Of the cities of the state
to build up its business at the ex-
pense Of the business of other cities or
that it will make the freight rates a
means Of assisting any city to over
come the disadvantages of location.
OF course, nothing more will be done
in the direction of changing the rates
until the injunction case pending in
the United States courts is decided.
When that viii be is problematical.
The case is set for hearing on the 9th
of this month. but the defeated party
may not be satisfied with the decision
of the court in which the case is pend
ing, and may take an appeal.
