FARMERS UNION AND POLITICS

The Farmers Union is not polit-
ical organization, and cannot and
will not put out any ticket In any
county in this or any other state.
The union is cooperative, business
proposition, gotten up for the pur-
pose of assisting it's members in buy
ing and selling.
1t is fighting nothing and nobody,
but simply demanding what justly
and honestly belongs to the produc-
ers; to do away with the speculative
feature In cotton; to establish ware
houses and sell the cotton crop di-
rect to the mills instead OF allowing
the cotton exchanges and New York
gamblers to control the crop and
price the cotton before it is chopped;
to assist as far as possible ia doing
away with the credit and mortgage
system, and to teach the diversified
ton Of crops.
The union does not propose to ac-
complish these things In week, q
month, nor a year, but to gradually
come to them.
Every class Of people, from the
bootblacks to the money kings are
organized except the people in the
rural districts. No fair-minded per-
son denies the farmer the right to
organize if he wants to.
The printers, the railroad men, the
bricklayers, the horseshoers, the car
penters, the machinists, and, in fact,
all classes of mechanics and work
men are organized for self-protec-
ton. So are the bankers, the zAtail
grocers, the fertilizer men, the ahrni-
ture people, the undertakers, the
wholesale dry goods men, the doctors,
the dentists, the lawyers, the city
policemen, and county officials are
organized for their mutual benefit and
self-protection. Nobody says any
thing about these organizations, but
the minute the farmers begin to get
together the politicians hold up their
hands in holy horror and yell poll
tics" to the top Of their sweet, pic
colo voices. All Of which will do
no harm. Let them rear up on their
hind legs and yell until they are
hoarse. The farmers are organizing,
and will continue to organize until
the agricultural classes all over the
United States are banded together
IN one solid body.
The farmers are beginning to read
and think for themselves. Other peo-
pie have been doing for them for
years, and they are the ones that are
being worried about the Farmers
Union.
This is all there is to the whole
business. There is nothing more nor
nothino loco -Pouct0y, no \ DooonI

made, but the $50 miles Of the road
was bullt, and $3,o0o,OUO Of endorsed
bonds were delivered, aud $I,ouO,0OO
OF gold bonds, so that at, tne time
was an over issue OF $L,OoU,UVO OF
the first mortgage bonds III addition
to the gold bonds; and as 1T stands
today with hundred and seventy
miles OF road completed, there Is an
over issue OF over 100000 OF the
first mortgage bonds, In excess Of
what was prescribed by the statute.
Georgia declared all the first
mortgage bonds invalid, the whole
$3,oUO,UOO, because they were not Is
sued III accordance with her cOnstltu-
ton and her laws; because there was
not only an over issue, but the invest
ment by private parties required by
tbs constitution had not been made,
and because the AID act was uncon-
stltut1onal. She further declared IN
wand the $1,SUU,OOO goId bonds be-
cause their issue was, IN addition to
the other reasons, an attempt to loan
the credit OF the state on q second
mortgage"
Macon and Brunswick.
The Macon and Brunswick comes
next.
Part Of the first mortgage bonds Of
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad
were endorsed by Governor Jenkins,
the balance were endorsed by Cover
nor Bullock, making In all ST. ,9oODOO
and the company built their road
from Macon to Brunswick with these
endorsements.
But they were not satisfied; other
roads had gotten more money, an6,
therefore, they went back to the
state and asked her to pass another
act, reciting the fact that their road
was built and equipped, but that it
had cost more money than expected,
and as larger endorsements had been
given to other roads, therefore the
state should give them $1,000 mile
more; making $6OO,OO0. This was a
second mortgage, like the Alabama
and Chattanooga bonds. The public
Improvement was completed, and
these men simply to get 100000
more bonds, came back and asked
from the state $4,000 a mile more,
recitlng that their public improve
ment had been completed. That is
every endorsement on the railroad
bonds, that Georgia declared to be
invalid. The balance Of the bonds
which size endorsed she declared to
be valid, as well as all her Owa bonds,
amounting to many millions, except
those certain parties professed to
hold as security for debts she did not
owe

ROAD anp some OF IL put In gunDoaCS
and some Of it carried to other roads
where it could facilitate the trans
porsation Of troops. The Confederate
government paid the president Of the
road, IN Confederate money, and the
1npany accepted it; but they didn t
1ep the Confederate money, they in
4, sted it in cotton, because they
ought cotton was more stable than
confederate currency. And on that
condition Of affairs the war closed.
Ehe officers then accounted to the
company for the proceeds of cotton,
the roadbed was put up and sold, and
tbs magnificent property that the
stae afterwards granted $5,100,0OO
Of aid to-$3, 100000 on first mort
cages, and $1.SO0,0O0 on second mort
gages--this magnificent piece of
property sold for the large sum of
$500!
"After the war the trustees Of the
original mortgage authorized Mr.. Hen
ry 5. Wells, as attorney, to sell the
road and the road was put up and
sold by him as attorney, and one Of
the trustees united with him In
deed, and they decided it to Mr..
Avery, who afterwards became a
member of the firm of j. Edwin Con-
ant & Co., o. his brother became a
member Of the firm of j. Edwin Con-
ant & Co. The purpose, it.is said, of
the sale of this road, was to buy it
in for the benefit of the northwestern
bondholders; that was the PROPOSE
ton. The purchasers re-organ1zed it
and appeared before the Georgia leg
islature In 1869, and organized new
company which they called the Bruins
wick and Albany Railroad Company.
Corporate life was given to this new
company, to the purchasers Of the
old right Of way Of the Brunswick
and Florida railroad and they utterly
ignored every act produced by the
stockholders in Georgia during the
pendency Of the civil war, and asked
for a new act to incorporate them as
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad
Company. That was done. Then on
the 18th Of March, 1869, they ap-
peared before the Georgia legislature
again and presented a bill to grant
them aid. That Is a very remarkable
bill on the face OF it; We will see
that every bondholder who took u
bond was charged with notice. 1t
recites these facts that have stated.
It recites that the road lit was o
new company now had been damaged
by the Confederate government and
Georgia, acting together, to the extent
of $3,400,000. 1t recites the demol-
ishment of the road by Georgia and
the Confederate States of America,
and in view Of this damage that has
been done to the old company during
the war by the Confederate States
government, the purchasers asked aid
from the state of Georgia to rebuild
their property.
"It further recites that $4,000 of

Ou ASI ENTHUSIASTICALLY OIL Lu0Se DOnQS
that no mali OF real inteIngence could
beueve that the road would not at
any time sell tor more than the sum
for which the state would endorse.
Here then was a dlrect condition held
out to the state on tie face OF the aot,
which recltes that this property had
been destroyed by the ravages OF war
and demolished; that the state owed
$4,000 for iron and the immense sum
Of over $3,30O,O0O for damages, that
the state could discharge her debt
by all endorsement and take a release.
That is the substance OF the recital
OF the act. On that the state grant
ed them $4,000 a mule when twenty
miles OF the road should be complet-
ed. 10 that ACT fourteen senators en-
tered their protest, declaring that 1t
was put through under gag Of the
previous question that it was uncon-
stitutional; and they wrote out their
protest and put it on the juornal of
the senate, and did all they could to
notlfy the world Of the fraud that
there was In the recital Of the pre-
ample. The friends of the bill got
up committee TO answer those
charges, and it is their report which
declared the state could never be
called on to pay cent.
There is today only about 40
miles OF the road. These schemers
procured from the state $o,l00,0O0 Of
aid, or $4,000 per mile for all the
road that is even now completed.
They partially built the road. MIR.
Angler endorsed $1,5OO,000 of the
bonds; at the time ne made that en-
dorsement very nearly the amount
required by the act had been built.
A difficulty arose between Mr..
Angler, the treasurer, and the COVER
nor, and the company then secured
the passage of another act, dated OH
the 11th of October, 1880, in which
the STATE permitted Governor Bullock
to endorse for the balance of the
bonds, and In which the state was au-
thorized to issue her gold bonds, to
buy up second mortgage bonds CT
the company. Under this act Cover
nor Bullock endorsed the balance Of
the bonds, $1,8OO,OOO, and he en-
dOrsed great number Of them at one
time. The reason for that is assigned
In a letter from Mr.. Kimbal to Gov
ernOr Bullock. Klmban stated that
he had been disappointed in some Of
his plans, and that the road could
not be completed unless the state
would place her endorsement upon
the balance of the bonds at once,
and they would have to be sent to
Europe, and that in the, interest," of
the state Governor Bullock ought to
endorse all of the bonds in advance
of the work on the railroad, and ell
able him in that way to make his
financial arrangements for it's COM
pletion.
"Mr. Angler had endorsed $780,

Notwithstanding the fact that Gerbo-

Of threatening to kill his wife, the

pathetic order, and the wife seems to
be decidedly wrought up over the
case. She sat in the jail sobbing as
if her heart would break and when
she left she babe her husband an
affectionate farewell.
Later in the afternoon the mother
of the young woman returned to the

that the prisoner might be made nor e

ably be brought down for a hearing

Railroads in the Transcontinental

cease granting free transportation or
reduced rates to the officers and agents
of the Woman's Christian Temper
ance Union, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, except the secre-
taries of the railroad branches; the
Young Woman's Christian Associa-

and to theological students. This de-
cision was reached at the Chicago
meeting just closed. AT the same
time it was decided to curtail the is
suance of free transportation to Off
GERS Of the Salvation Army. The
railroads, however, will continue to
issue free or reduced transportation
to nuns, sisters of charity, brothers of
religious orders and to ordained dea-
conesses. The cutting off Of the
transportation named is due to the
fact that under the law, it is believed.
such transportation can no longer be
issued.

The Council saves the city some
money in not ordering another regis
tration of voters before the coming
city election and if the manag-
ers of the different parties watch
the voters as closely as they do
ordinarily in hot campaign there is
little danger that much illegal voting
will be done. The polling lists are in
bad shape but as the city is growing
SO rapidly any registration ordered
now would not do for the next general
election and as new registration
will be necessary before the general
election the city can wait until then
to correct its polling lists. When the
new registration is ordered, however,
the clerks should not be allowed to
copy names from the old lists but
every voter should be required to APP
pear in person and register. Then
the lists should be carefully checked
up and every effort made to see that
they are absolutely correct.

WHAT is this about Secretary of
State Frear addressing an inquiry to
the attorney general about the pay
warrants of the men whose names
appear twice on the state rolls? The
Secretary had better be careful. He
is interfering with "custom and prece-
dent at Madison and may expect to
find himself ostracized from the liter
airy circles at the capitol and set
down as an enemy of the university.
How much easier and safer and more
comfortable all around it would be for
him to go after the iniquitous rail
roads and overlook these small mat
ters right under his nose.

A MUNICIPAL court organized under
a special act of the Legislature and
with judges and bai1iffs working on
salaries instead of under the fee sys-
tenn would undoubtedly do away with
many of the abuses of the justice
courts and at the same time save
money for both 1itigants in minor
cases and for the city. With the fee
system abolished there would be no
incentive to s'make business" for the
court and we are inclined to think
that the number of cases in the muni-
cipal court would be considerably
smaller than are now tried in the JUS
tice courts and 1t is certain that the
trials would cost less money. The
plan of esta blishing a municipal
court would undoubtedly meet with
considerable opposition in certain
quarters but it is a good one for all
that and while we are afraid that it is
now too late to do anything with It at
this session Of the Legislature the
matter should not be allowed to drop.
