MORALE OF GEORGIA POLITICS
In This Campaign Is Lowest Known
for a Family Fight in a
Party Primary.
From The Macon Telegraph.

From Thc Macon Telegraph.
The morale of this campaign in
Georgia is the lowest we have known
for family fight in party primary
1t is even worse than any of the con-
tests between opposing political par
ties to which we have in the past been
accustomed. The cartoon which
holds up to scorn and ridicule is re-
garded as more potent than reason or
logic.
"Thieves, ROBBERS" ETC., are
common epithets which find their way
in print. And the amount of proven
lying is appalling. Appeals to the
baser side of the human is infinitely
preferable, in this fight, to calls upon
the better side.
We cannot believe that the people
of Georgia have so degenerated in so
short a space of time as to make this
campaign of villifcation and abuse
the normal political average of our
day. 1t is not normal 1t is not our
level. 1t is below the average Geor-
gian.
The thoughtful man who loves his
state, and wishes we'll his neighbors
naturally turns to seek the causes for
SO much dirt floating about and pois-
oning of the political air. There does
not seem to be any very unhealthy
conditions about the administration
of our public affairs. The executive,
legislative and judicial branches of
our state government seem to be we'll
and honestly administered. The tax
returns are larger and the tax rate
lower than ever known before. Every
branch of business is prospecting
more than ever known in the history
of the state. The farming interests
are thrifty, and cotton is selling at a
good price. The people seem to be
contented as a rule and happy. Then
what is the trouble? What is all this
noise about? What is this that we
smell?
If the Telegraph was going to make
the answer it would say: Yellow
journalism, recently introduced into
Georgia-an imitation of the raw
stuff as illustrated by certain publica-
tions in Gotham; more particularly
and more specifically the Hearst va
riety. AS Strife breeders these publ
cations are without any rival. Upon
that kind of meat they live. And they
must make their meat to live.
1t is disappointing to know that
they should find in Georgia so much
of fertile soil for their business.

A Block Thousands of Miles Square

The largest mass of ice in the world

about 100000 square miles in area

According to these statistics the

to cover the whole of the united king

TULMAN OPENS GREATEST
FIGHT IN SENATE'S HISTORY
Aldch Pale and Serious, Gives Notice of Battle Against
the Rate Bill in the Presence Of Crowded Galleries.
South Carolnian Best Custodian of the Measure

,nnr Todau in the senate neonle will he found IN hoo rt

people will be found IN hearty accord
with his attitude.
The opponents of the measure thought
to gain stragetic point by putting
the bill into Tillman's hands, because
Tillman has been represented as an
extremist, dangerous man, unfit to be
entrusted with measure affecting the
welfare of the whole people. But, in
truth. the South Carolinian is
statesman whose caliber has not yet
been measured. He can be fierce and
passionate, but he holds himself in
his own control. He can go forward
at need like cyclone, but he can al
so measure his steps and see ahead.
His honesty is above all shadow of
suspicion; and of how many of his
colleagues can so much be said? He
is as simple and as dangerous as
two-edged sword. He is not educated
in the hair-splittings of the law, but
he is thoroughly grounded in justice
and equity.
The Best Custodian of the Bill
He hates the wrong, loves right and
fears no man; and these attributes, to-
gether with an intellectual endow-
ment. render him, perhaps, the very
best custodian of the bill that its best
friends-0r the best friends of a just
and adequate measure, rather-could
have picked out. If Mr.. Aldrich
thought otherwise he made mistake.
But the Hepburn bill in the present
shape is not a just and adequate
measure, and the more it is studied
the more probable does it seem that
if it be sufficiently amended to fulfill
the real object of railroad legislation
there will hardly be clause OF it
left.
Perhaps no one feels this more SEN
sibly than Mr.. Tillman. And certain
ly in that case no one could be more
inaexihle than Mr.. Tillman in insist
ing that the requisite alterations,
even though they result in an entirely
new bill, shall be made.
In it's final form, be what it may, it
will go back from the senate to the
house and thence to the president.
What will the president do with it?
Should he venture to defeat or to
leave unsupported truly good meas
ure for relief from railroad oppres-
sion nothing is more certain than that
public obloquyIwill overtake him.
Much will be urged on him about
s'giving the railroads square deal"
and not alternating investment of capt.
tai in railway enterprise, but there is
no danger of our being left railroad
less or of railroad millionaires being
driven to the poor house.
Let him keep his eye single upon the
rights and needs of the people and,
in the long run-not such a very long
run either-evSry limb and organ OF
the body corporate will partake of the
benefits.

$1,000 for Treating Three Teeth.

When a New York dentist presented
a bill for 81, 900 for treating FIVE, teeth
for Prince Louis of Battenburg some
months ago there was much comment
and it was thought that about the
limit of high charges for tooth car
pentery had been reached; but it APP
pears that was not correct. Another
New York dentist is now suing an ar
list of that city for 81, sos for three
weeks attendance upon her teeth. The
artist says she won't pay, but the dent
ist asserts that since his shop is in
Fifth avenue and he treats million
aires and society people she will have
to pay whatever he is pleased to
charge, that it is an honor for her to
have him hammer in her mouth, and
that Fifth avenue honors come high.
1t is for a court to say what is to be
done in the matter.

WASHINGTON To-day in the senate
chamber the ring was pitched for the
creat battle between the American
people and the railroads.
The public was present to the ex-
tent of the gallery accommodations,
and nearly every senator was at his
desk. Nothing was done, however,
further than that the combatants bowed
to each other and put on their gloves;
the seconds conferred as to the rules
that should govern the combat, and
arrangements were made for the print
ing and dissemination of the records
of the principals up to this time.
1t is understood that the fight is to
he to a finish, and will end with a
knockout for one party or the other.
No more important event has come
up for decision on the national prize
ring during recent times.
In other language, Senator Tillman,
in charge of the Dolliver-Hepburn
railroad rate bill, made the formal
statement that the bill had been rec
commended by the committee for pas
sage without amendment, and that he
himself, as soon as he had sufficiently
digested the subject, would present
his report upon it in writing.
Laying his left hand on the pile of
papers and volumes on his desk, he
added that he wished 10000 copies of
the reports of testimony and informa-
ton gathered by the committee to be
printed for the better instruction of
those interested, in which proposal he
was supported by Foraker and Alli-
son, and, there being no objection,
was so ordered.
AIdrich's Notice of Battle.
Senator Aldrich then arose, very
serious and with less color than usual
in his face, though whether owing to
emotion or to insufficient breakfast
did not appear. He observed that in
the ordinary course of things the bill
would have emerged from committee
with amendments, and that he believed
that all senators except Foraker who
objected to any legislation at all, de-
sired the bill to be amended. Except
for these amendments no obstruction
to immediate consideration of the bill
would be offered on his side.
Mr.. McCumber announced that he
had substitute for the entire bill,
which he sent to the desk, and would
speak on later; and then other bust
ness supervened and the galleries were
left with their mouths open.
One of the first things that Tillman
said last week when asked about the
bill was that he did not regard it as a
partisan measure. In this he showed
mis- sound sense, and the American

THE FIRST GUN FIRED.
Senator Foraker Opens the Debate on
the Railroad Rate Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Mar 12th.-
Senator Tillman reported the Hep
burn bill last week, and now the fight
is on in the senate.
Senator Foraker, who is recognized
as the ablest opponent of government
rate making, was the first to make a
set speech on the bill in the senate.
He said that congress has not power
to make rates, and predicted that the
supreme court will so hold if the ques-
ton ever goes before it.
Senator Foraker called attention to
the fact that the committee which rec
commended the Hepburn bill to the
house acknowledged that it was unsat-
isfactory even to those who desired
rate legislation. and yet it was not be-
ing demanded that the bill be passed
without amendment. He predicted
that such action would be disappoint-
ing to the whole country as we'll as an
abdication of law making functiodS on
the part of the senate.
"The gross revenues of the roads
are so closely calculated to meet in
terest, dividend and operating expen-
ses, - he said, ''that reduction of
one mill on the cost of transporting
ton of freight per mile would SO re-
duce the aggregate as to make it i'm
possible for the roads to pay one dol

further reduction of Ii mills per ton
per mile would make it impossible to
pay one dollar of interest on their
bonded obligations.

Even the most constant readers of
newspapers scarcely realize the revolu-
ton being brought about by the in
creasing employment OF women in all
Industries. Within short time, the
Young Womens Christian Association
of New York City found places for
1000 girls and young women in offices,
about one-third Of whom replaced male
clerks.
The New York Life Insurance Com
pany, which few years ago employed
only men in its New York Office, has
replaced one-half of the men with wo-
men.
Managers claim that women are
smarter and more trustworthy than
men. 1t also appears that women en-
ployed are content with considerable
less wages than men employees.
The Metropolitan Life Insurance
Company, of New York, employees LOO
women in Its offices and 800 men. The
same thing is largely true in business
offices all over the United States.
In factories, a similar change has
been brought about. In many indus
tries, men are only employed as fore,

men. Women work for lower wages
and they are better adapted for light
industry.
Is this process of substitution good
or bad thing for the workers them
selves and for the country? If men,
who generally require higher pay, be-
cause, as a rule, they have to bring up
a family, are crowded out of work by
women, who take lower wages, because
so long as they work they remain un-
married, and because, in many in
stances they receive free from their
parents some part of their cost of liv-
ing, the result would be anything but
good.
1t may be wondered If this is not a
leading cause of so-called race suicide.
The male portion of the population is
less able to marry, because not earning
enough to- maintain a family, while
women with comfortable and adequate
earnings of their own have less desire
to accept marriage.
In the city of Dundee, Scotland, the
substitution of female for male labor
has reached a climax. Dundee makes
cheap goods for export, in competition
with Chinese and Japanese labor. Only
