A Commemorate Precedent.
The idea Of giving a thirty days. chance to
romp in the pasture and enjoy cool brooks and
deep green grasses to the faithful Government
horses is one, but one of the most at
tractive imaginable. This has been done in
Washington, and now the r. F. D. men are
Driven by the lash of circumstances itself,
humanity at large too seldom pauses to con-
slider doing kindness to animals, even though
much practical good might result from very
little effort in this direction. Grateful appre-
citation is due whomsoever thought Of vaca-
lions for the horses and we hope no man in
government service would cheat his horse out
OF the rest due it. IF people work better for
little play, why not the dumb bruteq All
owners of horses could afford for them few
days respite from their weary, thirsty, exist
ence. Eventually some mercy might trickle
down to the level Of the poor hack horse, or
the victim of the dock-tailing mania.
Good for Senator Wilkes!
During debate by the Georgia Senate over
bill to appropriate $4,000 for the completion
OF the Carnegie Library at the Georgia School
of Technology, Senator Wilkes had the indie
pendence to denounce what he justly termed
the hypocrisy Of Andrew Carnegie:
envy vocabulary is not strong enough to
express my contempt" said Wilkes "Every
farmer in Georgia, when he buys an agricul-
tural implement, pays tribute to Carnegie,
yet he poses as philanthropist. I am not
IN favor Of perpetuating the name, and it is
disgrace to Georgia to perpetuate it,
The name of Carnegie at the public library
dwarfs that of all the great men Of letters
around it. His bust looms up before the Wis
ltor IN all the solemn majesty of the sphinx.

The Convict Lease System.

The Convict Lease System.
The fight is fairly on again for the removal
Of this hellish blot upon the civilization Of
Georgia In 1892, in 1894 and in 1896 Popu-
lism made all the charges which are ringing
hideously throughout the state We did our
best to break up the execrable system, but
Populists are $50 Wild" you know, $50 en-
ratc,' such awful people, that their protests
were drowned out by the great, sleek, oily con-
servatives who are always ready to get busy
with the white-wash, or the hogwash, or any
old kind of wash that will cover up the foul
ness Of any money-making evil little longer,
until it has chance to pile up few more
dollars. Will the lawmakers of our State DO
their duty now?
Fascinating Idea!
BY way of adding a new, picturesque touch
to its beautiful Druid Hill Park, Baltimore S
Park Board has directed a newl y-engaged
shepherd to attire himself, when on duty, in
real Scotch kits. The board has appointed
Peter Mackenzie of New York to watch over
the sheep in Druid Hill and has sent an order
to Edinburg for supply Of kits. Still,
upon the Grampian-no, the Druid-Hills,
trilling on the pibroch, there is yet danger
that the lady in the sheath skirt might sud-
denly confront him; and if what we hear Of
the Directoire gown and of the Highland cos
tune be true, it were most unwise to inaugu-
rate what could but be bitter fractional fight
between two "equal and opposing" forces.
Also, the rights Of innocent bystanders should
be considered. A spectacle of that sort, at a
critical time like this with the mercury
climbing up and prostrations general, anyhow,
should never be permitted by park officials
thoughtful for the public safety.
The Indignity Shown Captain Hobson.
When the citric fruit was being passed
around lavishly at Denver, Richmond Pearson
Hobson came in for one of the largest of the
lemons, and very unripe at that. We all
know how Captain Hobson by some queer
magnifying power Of his binoculars, views
England as monstrous porcupine bristing
at the front, while he imagines that the Japan
csc archipelago is creeping upon us through
rearward seas. This is a chimera of his
which not many of us share Nevertheless,
we believe the Captain suffering from a not
unnatural bias due to saltwater predilec-
tions rather than any Interior motive of fur
thering either his own naval advancement or
enriching himself. And we must remind those
who received with such cruel jeering the Cap
tain s Denver address, that the world has long
conceded him to be man Of courage seldom
