BuLLDozED 81 THE GOVERNOR.

The bulldezing of the Senate into
compliance with the wishes of Gov.
Smith was one of the most astound-
ing and disgraceful features of the
closing hours of the General Assem-
bly,. Senators who had conscien-
tiously voted against an increase in
the number of railroad commission
ers were called from their seats,
threatened with political extermina-
ton, and sent back to the chamber to
reverse their former position on this
important piece of legislation
How bad the governors conduct
must have been can be judged from
the fact that three senators arose in
their seats and denounced it, 1t is
a pleasure to record the fact that
Senator Hayes, of this district, was
one of those with sufficient man
hood to resent the use of the whip by
the chief executive of the state.
Governor Smith has had his way
but in the end he will suffer more
than he will be benefited by it. Such
a course as pursued by him to coerce
the Senate into compliance with his
wishes must inevitably arouse q
storm of resentment throughout the
state. The Georgia senatorial dis.
tricts do not send men to Atlanta tC
be bulldozed by the governor. This
matter will be heard from again, ant
not to the advantage of the governor

The cheap parcels post scheme, ad-
Vocated by Postmaster General Meyer.
Will meet with strong opposition at
the hands of country merchants. The
system will mean that the great de-
partment stores will come into di-
rect competition with the town and
country stores, and that he postoffice
will become the messenger and de-
livery agent for out-of-town ship
pers. Small merchants are already
finding it hard to make fair profits
on their stocks, and they will find
1t harder under the parcels post
scheme.
