The Virtue of Speaking Out.

The following is taken from the West
PointLeader, bnt can be applied so apIly
to Macon, that we copy and endorse
the sentiment, 1t is the duty of every
goot citizen to use the newspapers to
criticize acts of public officials. who
often forget they are the servants of tn,
people. No right. thinking editor wi !
use his paper to give vent to his person
al feelings or allow any one else to vent
their spleen against any one, but if dub.
lie officials we're more open to criti-
cism there would be fewer abuses. The
article is as follows;
One trouble that prevails with our
reople generally in "a controversy for
reforms, lis the fear OF injuring Itheir
financial affairs. A man will say so
aud so about certain matters. but will
utter the caution not to use his name as
it might injure his business. That's
not the way to do Every citizen is in.
terested in public affairs and If he knows
oil things going wrong in any direction.
he should raise his voice of warning on
matter what the cost. The Leader has
lo't May dollars by being outsuoksn,

that perhaps it would not otherwise
have handled. No citizen should be go
welded to his business las to prevent
him from action in behalf of the better.

Roads Not In Politics,

II know am closer to the railroad
officials who take IAN interest in Missis-
sippi affairs than anyone else and l
know it to be an absolute truth that the
railroad people are not taking any part
in the pending political CANVASS in the
State Of mississippi, have leyer
heard railroad man say anything
about the Hon. Earl Brewer, either for
or against him. The officials of the
railroads running through Mississippi
are attending to their legitimate bust
ness, trying to improve the properties
conndod to their care: so as to render
the most efficient survice possible to
their patrons in Mississippi and other
states.'
The above is an extract from letter
written to the Evening News by Col f.
L. Russell, vice-president Of the Mo
bile and Ohio Railroad. in reference to
the oft quoted speech Of Hon. Earl
Brewer, to the effect that some Of the
railroads were taking part IN the Cub
ernatorial contest The Clsrion-Leiger
has no doubt as to the correctness Of
Colonel Russell's statement, for he is
a Igeutleman Of the highest integrity
and what he says can be relied upon
absolutely
is understood that Mr. Brewer in
his Flag Chapel speech, referred par
ticularly to the Illinois Central IS taking
part in the gubernatorial contest, and
named one Of the officers Of the road IS
being present st a candidates confer

1t is known that the Illinois Central
keeps entirely aloot from politics. The
records Of the company show this, 1t
never mixes MP in contests for candid
ates, nor does it attempt in any way to
influence the action Of its employees, but
allows them free to support whomso-
