Mr.. Bryan made the greatest cam
paign In 1896 known to political his
tory. He took the standard of his
party away from the treacherous
hands of the man who held it, walked
into the temples, turned over the
tables, drove out the traitors, de-
nounced the thieves, proclaimed hon
esty his motto, detied the entrenched
powers and thrilled great nation.
Every word he uttered In that cam
paign has been since bearing fruit.

Up to the Grand Juries.

THE eleventh amendment to the
constitution of the United States for
bids any suits against the state. The
bills filed against the commissioners
and the attorney general and the
counsel for the commissioners are eff
forts to eyade the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution and it will
fail.
IF the railroads violate the order
of the commission, it is then a mat
ter for the grand juries of the res
pective counties and for the governor
of the state to take action.
with the failure of the railroad
commission in the litigation they have
precipitated, better relations between
them and the commission will follow.
The efforts of the railroad companies
to annoy the public in passenger
rates will cease. Then first will the
benefits from the action of the com
mission be fully realized"

Commission Now a Unit.

1T is greatly to be desired that the
railroad commission, which is now
acting as a unit, conduct its work in
perfect harmony with the corpora
tions to which it's jurisdiction APP
plies.
1T is greatly to be regretted that
the railroad companies have not free
ly and fully put into effect the recent
passenger rate order, and especially
is it to be regretted that they have
seen fit to carry this matter into the
courts.
4 do not doubt that they will lose
the litigation now pending.
Bills have been brought against
the railroad commission to enjoin it
when the railroad commission under
the new law has nothing further to
do with the matter The attorney for
the commission and the attorney gen
eral have also been made parties to
the procedure. Neither of these Off
Gals has any duty to perform in con-
sequence of the order of the COM
mission under the act amending our
railroad commission.

Effort at Intimidation.

- am aware of the fact that the
emisaries of these corporations are
already engaged in an effort to intimi-
date the public by threats that rail-
road building and improvements are
to cease and, that the development of
the state is to be retarded because of
unfriendly legislation
This is no new cry
Every time a just demand has
been made upon the railroad compan-
les il Georgia the same threat and
the same effort to intimidate the pub
lie has taken place.
For years the railroad companies
paid no taxes.
When the first effort was made to
require them to pay taxes as the
private citizens pay taxes we were
told railroad building would stop and
the state would cease to prosper.
Again, when we required the
railroad companies to pay county tax
es the same old cry was made.
Again, when we sought to make
them pay upon the real value of their
property and required that the value
of their franchise as we'll as their
tangible property should be consid-
cred in determining the value of
their property, we were told that
we had ruined the state, and that no
more money would be invested here.
Despite these cries we have seen
railroad building continue to increase,
we have seen factory after factory
built, and banks established in al
most every village.
ut may be true that for few
months there will be little develop
ment in Georgia by corporations of
the character l am discussing, but
this will not be due to legislation
passed in our state
1T will be equally true all over
the union.

Only Themselves to Blame.

The fact is these companies have
issued stocks and bonds in excess of
their real value.
They have unloaded them upon
the public until today their past mis-
conduct has shaken their credit.
The railroad commission just be-
fore my inauguration made reduc-
ton in passenger rates. The reor-
ganized railroad commission unani-
mously approved this reduction.
Il accept for the reform movement
with which your county and | were
connected last year full responsible
ity for, these reductions.
They are reasonable and Just.
They will reduce the amount of
money paid for passenger travel in
Georgia one million of dollars a year
if that travel is not increased. My
own opinion is that before many
months we will see that the reductions
will not lessen one dollar the in
comes of the railroads.
They will cause more people to
travel.
The public will get the benefit of
more travel with it's educational in
huences and other advantages, while
the railroads will receive as much
revenue as ever from their passenger
service. But if it were otherwise, the
suggestion that a great burden is
being placed upon the railroads by
this reduction is utterly unfounded.

A Queer Railroad Order.

The director of the Transcaucasian
railway. Colonel Neigebauer, has Is
sued the following curious order: In
the course Of six months Of the current
year thirty officials Of the Transcau-
casian line have perished by violent
deaths. Ten among them were OF the
highest ranks In the service and twen-
ty in the lowest ranks. Although II
has now become customary to ascribe
these appalling murders to revolution
ary organizations. there are groui1ds
for suspecting Il majority have been
caused by desire to see situations
vacant. In order that such villainous
proceedings may bring no profit to
their authors, I have found 1t necessary
to order that all vacancies on the line
which have resulted from officials hav-
ING suffered violent death shall not be
