The outlahdish masterpieces of buff
foonery that give the state such un-
desirable notoriety do not represent
the best thought, the dominant senti-
ment, of that body
They spring from a few isolated
freak measures, upon which the level
headed majority is sure to sit down
hard before the end of each session.
But that does not prevent the an
nual re-enactment of the belittling
spectacle of the nation ridiculing this
State; or of the nation Judging the
brains and patriotism of her law-mak-
ers by the irrational performances of
a few eccentrics.
Such a condition is an affront to the
dignity of Georgia, disparaging us
in the eyes of sensible people in other
sections. 1t is, as we'll, a pronounced
injustice to the great well-balanced
majority to have them loosely and
somewhat contemptuously lined up as
set of legislative cranks, when thev
don't deserve it.

CURRENT COMMENT

1t is very nice of Messrs Rockefel-
Ter, Carnegie, Morgan and others to be
so generous to their less fortunate fell
low citizens, but if there were an in
come tax and it's provisions were hon
estly enforced, we might still have the
colleges, churchs, hero funds, librar-
les, museums, and lying-in hospitals,
and would not be beholden to any rich
man for them.
And yet the income tax is far from
being particularly a tax on wealth The
small merchant or manufacturer, or
the employer who makes five or ten
thousand dollars a year would, under
its provisions, pay proportionately as
large a share as does the man whose
income is $4,000 a day.
And most Importation there are
vastly more men of average than men
of huge incOmes-this tax would be
paid. A man may hide his bonds and
stocks, but the merchant can not hide
his business and the employee can
not hide the payroll that tells his
income.

All this is neither pleasant nor prof

THE CASH REGISTER.

(Wex Jones in N. Y. American)
Old Sandy McTosh was a businesslike
soul, hard headed and hearted as
we'll;
He cared not for orchestra, piano, or
band, but rejOiced in the sound of
a bell,
The tingIe and jingle delighted his
soul, till he jiggled and wiggled his
ears,
And the clear, though monotonous
note would sometimes affect him
to tears.
He would often declare as it rang in
the air that the bells of ShandOn
were punk;
And he'd say at such times that old
Trinitys chimes had gained all
their glory on bunk.
Now this is no JOSH" said Sandy Nc
TOsh, there's the music that never
will fail
The ting of the bell in the register
when it's making another sale"
Not a straw cared McTosh for ought
but his coin, nor needed the music
of life;
No wedding bells ever rang out to the
world that Sandy was taking
wife
He scraped and boarded and boarded
and scraped, and tight to his mon
ey he'd cling;
His music and poetry, pleasure and
love summed up in the registers
''Ping!"
No emotion was stirred in his coin
crusted soul as the fire engines
clangored along,
And he missed not a heartbeat in pity
at the sound of the ambulance
gong.
For said Sandy McTosh, 1T doesn't
hurt me if others are mangled Or
fall,
So long as the bell of the register goes
'Ting!' for another sale"
Twas the music he heard for many
year, the song that the register
sang;
And it rang in his ear SO sweetly that
even in dreams it rang.
And it drowned out cries for pity from
those who were trampled down,
And it drowned alike means and
music till McTosh lost both smile
and frown.
He had no heart for the heartsick, no
hand for o'erburdened backs,
But paid his bills on the moment and
never swore off a tax.
So at last McTosh died listening to the
old familiar ring
And Satan pressed his register and
smiled as his bell went "Ting!'

AMERICAN COMMERCIAL
MORALITY.
New Orleans States.)

The leading trade and financial jour
nails of the country are calling atten-
ton to the fact that in the past twelve
years there has been a deterioration in
the quality of many products. Not
only have the prices of commodities
advanced, but the average quality in
stead of advancing has refrigerated
and this is painfully true in the case
of clothing, and especially of the
grades used by the poorer classes. 1t
is not true, however, in the case of
those foodstuffs that have come under
the control of the national pure food
law
The advancing prices of commodi-
ties and the deterioration of their
quality is attributed to high protec-
ton, which has operated also, as SEN
ator Deliver recently asserted on the
floor of the Senate, to deteriorate the
commercial morality of the country,
because it gives all the interests the
right to take something out of the
pockets of the public, hence it is not
difficult to understand that the bene-
ficiaries of such a system will not hes
itate to take all they can get. and in
so doing evade all the obligations they
may owe the public In commenting
on Senator Delivers view of the eff
feet of high protection. the Wall street
Journal says:
There is a moral rot thus
,engendered which must necessa-
rily spread. 1t is impossible for
the workman to assist in pro
ducing a poor and even fraudu-
lent stuff without losing self
respect. 1t is impossible for the
emplOye in the financial depart
ment to observe practices which
he knows are indefensible ethi-
cally, constantly used, without
himself deteriorating. The result
is that the evil spreads with an
ever widening influence, and all
that education or religion can do
to curb it will not plant the
seeds of the healthy growth fast
enough to choke the weeds"
This, however, is the price that
must be paid for what the Aldrich
buccaneers insist is the correct sys-
tenn of Fastening our commercial
growth, and the extent to which the
moral deterioration has made it's in
tiuence felt is shown in the attitude
of the United States Senate on the
tariff question. With a few honor
able exceptions there is not the faint
est pretence of principle, and no broad
and enlightened policy is laid down
in that body. All that has come out
of an exhibition of politics, the worst
that has been seen in generations is
the utter Indifference to public opin-
ion to which Senator Deliver called at
tention as proof of the moral deterior-
alton which he deplored.

EDUCATING THE BRUTE.
CVashingten PostJ

A question which has recently occu-
pied the attention of several ladies
luncheon clubs is, Does the Higher
Education Unfit Man for Domestic
Life?"
1t seems that a great number Of Sc
rious women have been shocked by the
frivolous condition of the male mind,
for it is the general opinion that, in
this country, women are much better
educated than men. Men, as a rule,
are against the higher education Of
women They have decided that the
power of making a new sauce is more
to be desired than a knowledge of
history, and that ignorance is better
than a desire for learning, which
might lead a wife to divert her mind
from meditation on the PROJECTIONS of
her lord and master But there are
numbers of women who show that
these things are not incompatible
However, men, as a rule, seem to look
on the college woman, or the woman
who improves her mind, very much as
a Mussulman would look on a lady
who dared to correct a quotation Of
his from the Koran.
The devotion of the average man to
the newspaper; his narroW-minded To-
cal political point of view; his inabil-
ity to improve his wife's mind on any
subject outside of domestic economy;
his ignorance of theology and philos-
ophy; his contempt Of the esthetic,
have become a matter of careful
thought on the part of the women that
own him, but who are forced, when
the creature is dragged into cultivated
society, to be ashamed of him.
|. The only remedy for this would be
to encourage the male seX-that is,
those of the sex capable of ito go in
for the higher education But, then,
the question arises: Would this pro
cess not divert mems minds from the
business of earning a living?

GIVE "HITTLE JOE" A CHANCE.
(The Macon NeWs.)

The Georgia legislature has now
been in session forty of it's allotted fiji
ty days session and so far as actual
output goes, has literally done moth
ing. While, in a sense, this is better
than much legislation of the sort to
which the body ordinarily devotes it's
time, there is a great deal of construc-
tive legislation, such as modernizing
and equalizing the tax laying and col
lectlng system and other measures
recommended in Governor Browns mes
sage to the general assembly which
would be of inestimable value to the
state if the lawmakers would earnest
ly and inteligently apply themselves
to the work.
But instead OF turning their atten-
ton to weighty and urgent matters of
this sort, what do we see? The legis-
lature from the outset allowed itself to
be tangled up in a political quarrel
and permitted it to monopolize its
whole attention to the exclusion of
all other business, instead of treating
it as a miner incident and disposihg
of it as eXpediOusly as the circum-
stances warranted.
Not only has the body practically
devoted four months of it's time to
such matter, but it is denounced for
now not prolonging the agony to an !
even beyond the end of the session.
In the meantime Governor Brow
has maintained his equipoise admir-
ably and kept out of it personally, bu

ducks and brakes of the peoples in

all places in Vermont, the godly town
of Burlington! When the peri, discon-
Isolate, started from the gate of Para

Tom Moore describes this way;
o. if there be on this earthly sphere
A boon, an offering, heaven holds

The peri found an expiring patriot

and offered it, a plea for readmission
in the realm of bliss.
Now here is Vermont that one
would fancy as yearning for a negro
garrison in Fort Ethan Allen, but aboli-
ton Vermont resents the presence of
the man and brother and demonds his
removal, or, failing that, a Jim crow

THE INCOME TAX.
New York American.)

William Waldorf Astor draws the
rentals from something like 100000
900 worth of real estate in New York
City
William Waldorf Aston pays a per-
centage on every dollar of his five or
twenty million dollar income toward
building dreadnaughts for His Majesty
King Edward, for supporting his Maj
esty's dominion over India and Africa,
and generally for paying the expenses
of the British Empire.
To the Government of the United
States, which protects his property
and makes it possible for him to live
in an English palace and dream of ar
English title, William Waldorf Astor
does not pay a cent of income tax.
John D. Rockefeller, from his share
in the Standard Oil Company, draws
an income ranging from $1,000000 to
$3,0000O0 month. Mr. Rockefeller
is generous with colleges, kind to
churches, and in one way or another
extends "a great deal of charity, which
saves American communities a certain
amount of expenditure
Andrew Carnegie, whose income on
steel bonds may not be quite as great
as that earned by Mr.. Rockefeller's
oil, endows hero funds and establish
es libraries, and our government right
fully protects the steel properties,
which through his friend, Mr.. Morgan
whose altruism tends to lying-in
hospitals, and museums-he has un-
loaded on the myriad stockholders of
the Steel Trust.
