The Georgia press is just now giv
ing considerable attention to the im
perfections of the railroad commis
sion law of that State. We clip the
following from the Augusta Chron
icle :
In a very able article the News and
Advertiser gives its , reasons for
thinking that the law creating the
Georgia Railroad Commission should
be amended so as to limit the absolute
power now possessed by that body
over railroad property. Our cotem
temporary very truly and justly
says:
Ever since the days of Magna Char
ta it has been one of the f updamental
principles of all good governments
that 4 'no person shall be deprived
of life, liberty or property without
due process of law, ' and that "the
right to appeal to the courts shall be
kept inviolate." : These cardinal
principles are to be found in the Con
stitution of the United, States and
every State in the Union; ."and yet
the railroad laws of Georgia disre
gard both.
With equal truth and justice it
further says:
Under our laws the poorest or
worst criminal cannot be deprived of
property or liberty . wjthout . due,
proeess of law, which means, in a
civil suit, the proper legal notice, the
right to defend before the courts and
trial by jury, or in a criminal case,
arrest by warrant, indictment by
grand jury, right of defense, and
speedy and impartial trial by his
peers. And yet wnile, these rights
are recognized by the constitutions
and courts, the Railroad Commission
ers, under this extraordinary law,
can and do take property, without
fiving the railroads a hearing, and
rom their arbitrary rulings and de
cisions the railroads are denied any
right of appeal to any court er tribu
nal whatever.
Our cotemporary thinks such leg
islation "shocking to the sense of jus
tice and right of every iair-minded
man in Georgia," and concludes its
admirable article by saying: ; V
If the railroads oppress or unjustly
discriminate against any place ' or
citizen of Georgia, let us nave a law
to restrain and control them, but
let us not attempt to enforce a law
that denies to them this right of
notice, defence and appeal to the
courts rights which the meanest
and poorest nave, and which are sa
cred in all good governments.
The abhorrence 01 arbitrary power,
in any shape or under any any name,
maniiested by the News and Adver
tiser is shared by the press and peo
ple of this State. It has only been
recently that the extraordinary vio
lation of the fundamental principles
of good government involved in the
Georgia Railroad Commission law
has been brought to public attention,
and the indications from every quar
ter are that the popular sentiment is
as averse to despotism now as it has
ever been in the history of the Anglo
Saxon race. Deep in the American
heart is a reverence for fair play, and
no svstem of eovermental espionage.
no form, mode, manner or degree of
absolutism, though cloaked ten-fold
deep in colored pretensions, can long
escape public notice and reprobation
There is no scope or room in this
country for the maxims that the
king can do no wrong, and that
which pleases Ceasar has the force of
law. : With us it is a corner-stone
; principle that the courts shall be
open to all. and that the causes of all
shall be them adjudged according to
the law of the land, and by which
law of the land, says Daniel Webster,
"is most clearly included in the gen
eral law ; a law which hears before it
condemns ; which proceeds upon in
quiry, and renders judgment only
after trial." We want no man or
set of men and no kind of industrial
interest in Georgia put beyond the
pale of the general law.

TQE JFtfTPiUe SOUTH.
j . The Nashyilljd American js one of
the Ifwllng Democratic papers m the
South. ;"Tt is a vigorous advocate of
incidental protection to our indus
tries, whieK ft holds is necessary . to
the development of the Southern in
dustries now springing up, coming in
contact as they do with rival indus
tries in Europe and in other sections
of this country which have been es ¬
tablished and been made strong under
the fosting care of protective legisla
tion.. In a recent article it gives the
following, excellent - reasons for' the,
position it takes, and which cover the
ground pretty well :
"There are undoubtedly honest ad
vocates of absolute free trade, honest
advocates of high protective tariff.-'
honest advocates of gradual reduc
tion of tariff and taxes, and honest
advocates of incidental protection.
"So far as the Southern States are
concerned, we believe the Democrats
pc tnis section, wno iavor incidental
protection as enunciated in the Ohio
and Virginia platforms and sustained
by the popular votes in those States,
are convinced that such a policy is
the wisest Democratic policy in the
great national contest ahead of us.'
We believe that they are sincerely
devoted to the interests of the Demo
cratic party and hope anxiously for
its success over the Republican party.
This is their political conviction and
their wish. As regards . their busi-ness-intereets,
they believe that such
a policy has the best promise of pros
perity for them. They have an abid
ing faith in a great industrial future
for the South. They have shared
her misfortunes in war and peace and
her adversity through all the tedious
processes of the reconstruction tink
ering 01 theorists and political adven
urera. They have i seen .'the fairest
and most prosperous region under
the sun, by the misfortunes or the
mistakes of politics and by the fate
of War crushed and desolate, and its
impoverishment- completed by the
stroke of &' pen. 5 The South having
survived autnese disasters is, by tne
heroie !eiiegies? f Aers wn people,
once more on'her feet and breasting
the waves like a spent swimmer, but
yet hopeful and, courageous. The
The Soutbr is "beginning to achieve
her - own commercial independence
through tiia wisdom of diversified in
dustries. She no . longer stakes her
all upon a single crop, but is begin

She is turning manufacturer. The
time is certain to come when -she will
be the world's manufacturer by the
decree of nature. ' This grand result
is inevitably sooner or later. The
progress towards -its consummation
may be Accelerated or retarded: ac
cording as its political' representa
tives entrusted witnr tne governing
Sower are true or unfaithful to its
usiness interests according as its
politics are made subservient to these.
There are many intelligent Democrats
in the South, realizing this 'Situation
in all its significance, who favor
not protection for protection's sake,
but incidental protection and a dis
criminating tariff that will not leave
the manufacturing soutn tne produc
tive South, the newSouthvat the mercy
of the European competition.. - They
are for their own' people 'against all
the world, and ifc i&for thiar.filass we
essay to speak when we- say tnat
their opposition to the free-trade
fallacy has not its secret spring and
inspiration in a mere question of
whose ox is being gored. They hon

doctrine or theory for it is nothing

tion, and they speak for the entire
Southern ; community collectively,

The prohibit on law is enforced in
Potfciwatomie county, Kansas. A
saloon keeper named Hulen, havmg
been convicted on twenty counts,
was fined $100 on each count, and on
the twenty-first count the court com
mitted him to jail, to stay until all
the money is paid. ' b'aloon keeper
Shaw, also having been convicted on
thirteen counts, was sentenced to pay
$100 and costs on each count and ; to
spend thirty days in jail, and stay
there until he pays up. Saloon
keeper Pittman got $1,100 fine and a
month in jail. Upon twenty dealers
the court imposed fines aggregating
$7,600 and $3;000 costs and ninety
days in jail.
The salary of the sheriff of Phila
delphia is fixed by law at $15,000 per
year, but it .is provided that it must
come out of " the fees of the office.;
Last year the fees amounted to only
$3,750 over and above what was nec
essary to pay the subordinates in the
office, leaving the sheriff short
$11,250.

Revenue, Actual and Estimated.
The receipts from customs, internal
revenue and miscellaneous aunng
the last six months were respectively
$100,949,118, $61,316,294 and $16,078
800. gamst $113,609,414, $74,745,328
and $18,446,545 in the corresponding
neriod.ofthe year 1882. The total
tor the first mentioned period was
$178,344,207; for the six months of
1882, $206,801,187. D or tne nau-year
year just closed the falling off in cus
toms, it will be observed, was about
$13, 000, 0q0 and in the internal revftr'
nue about as much more. This is ; a
small decline in receipts compared;
with the estimate made during th
heat of the discuson. on(;theJj&ffff
bill last year. It was then estimated
with confidence by the protectionists
that the falhngJoff, in customs by,
reason of thev bui- bassed would be
about $40,000,000; internal revenue
about $35,000,000: total $75,000,000.?

and by foe. These utterances some
how have a Delphic twang to them.

to conceal "Opinions not yet fully

- Mr. Randall has been . subjected to
some annoying chatter by people who
profess to see in his. proposed policy
of economy only a blind and sweeping
demagogy. They have been saying
.that the Appropriationst Committee
under his lead wiH reject ruthlessly
all the requests for increased appro-
1)riati6ns for additional help, without
ooking to ascertain if the appropria
tion is necessary. Of course, this is
all nonsense. Neither Mr. Randall
nor any of his influential colleagues
on that committee would think of
going about the preparation of a bill
on such narrow, illiberal and con
temptible grounds. They mean, on
the contrary, to scrutinize each re
quest from a department of the gov
.ment and make the necessary appro
priations on the principle of the
Ksatest efficiency. The. secretaries
ve a way of asking for a good deal
more than is actually wanted, in or
ertoget the required amount. In
other words they expect to be "Jewed
down." This is not all " They have
got the cost of the service, as a whole,
fully up to what ought to be paid at
a much later day. This is known to
Congressmen, whose constituents
hold.them to a strict accountability for
expenditures. Hence the "estimates"
are treated usually with 'very little
respect in the committee and the
House. A chip-hat toe-paring policy
is never to be commended in public
affairs, but its opposite is every whit
as bad and leads, to woise conse
quences. , '
It is evident already that a tremen
dous pressure will be brought to bear
on the revenue reformers to concede
some modification of the internal tax
system. But exactly what this out
come will be it is too early to give an
intelligent forecast. ' Tho Virginia
and North Carolina and some or the
South Carolina members will be found
voting with the Randall' Democrats
and perhaps a majorityof the Repub
licans in favor of some measure of
relief. That is to say, they' will be
so found unless the party caucus
takes the matter in hand at an early
day after the recess. The States in
terested appear to be deeply in earn
est, and the leading tarnx reformers
just as much impressed with the ne
cessity for the retention of the great
er part of the tax. Among the latter
there is not so much opposition to the
abolition of the present mode of col
lection. Here then is seen the oppor
tunity for compromise.

The high winds whistled around the
chimney tops and steeples, and blew
bricks down into the street, scaring the
people who walked below. Know, Bieet
and hail drove into the faces ot those
who dared expose themselveB, and
made them button their coats tight
around their throats. Of course there
were sore throats and colds and coughs
and rheumatisms the next day. But
what were these to men and women
who could step into any drug store and
buy a bottle of Perry Davis's Pain
Killer?
