• Moultrlo Is still menaced by blind
tigers.
• The Mncon News says: "Muck rak
ing was nil right enough when It was
Qonflned to politics, but when It hit
the grub box, weak stomachs went all
i the bad."
Senator Gorman was not rated as a
statesman, but In "practical politics,”
which term means the politics that
''gets things” and "does things,” he
was eminently successful, and ns a
tender of men he had few equals In
hie dny.
' bradstreet's reports fewer failures
last month than In nny May for thlr-
I ; teen years. The liabilities nro higher
than In the same month of several pro-
ceding years. But business Is on a
larger soalo; assets and liabilities In-
iS oreasc with the volume of trade. As
j'. the returns of Insolvencies constitute
■ one of the best Indications of veal pros
perity or an approaching depression
i the small number of failures Is most
lV reassuring. '
Hoke Smith and Clark Howell will
fe meet In Joint debate In Atlanta next
Friday night. Wo don't envy Atlantn
•and the Democracy of Fulton county.
It will be a rallying occasion for the
* partisans of tlio two men, each at the
hehd of what has become a feud. The
|.V Joint debate will prove nothing. No
converts will be made to oithor side.
' and the result will be only to arouse
Into mure nctlvo Vehemence tho spirit
of rivalry between the two factions
6pt-V‘
. and their respective newspapers.
General Nelson A. Miles evidently
regards the recent disclosures about
the Chicago packing houses as a vin-
dtcatlori of himself in the position ho
took with reference to embalmed
' moats furnished to tho army during
tho Spanifih-Amerlcan war. A press
dispatch quotes Gen. Miles as saying
| nt Kansas City yesterday: “The dls-
•: closures about the tracking house pro
ducts now being exploited are uo nows
3> to me. I knew it several years ago. 1
told what I knew tliea. Had tho mat
ter’ been taken up at that time tlious-
. andB of lives would have been saved.
' I believe 3,000 United States soldiers
lost their lives because of adulterated,
&'V Impure, poisoned meat. There Is no
way of estimating the number of sol
diers whose health was ruined by eat-
i : ing impure food. I have a barrel of
testimony on the subject In the way of
Y affidavits which I collected when I
K! made my Investigation seven years
ago. The Investigating committee
closed the case and refused to hear
2,000 witnesses whom I had ready. At
; that time I could have secured the
testimony of 100,000 men that the
canned beef sold to the army was lm-
Imre, adulterated and unwholesome.”
REGULAR TIME FOR STATE PRI
MARY.
Mr. J, M. Strickland, of Griffin, Is
sending out a circular letter giving no
tice that at the next state Democratic
convention he will present a resolu
tion to have, the convention fix a per
manent date for a primary, JuBt as It
is permanent |n the regular election.
This proposition lookB good to us.
At present the State Executive Com
mittee Axes the date for the primary,
and there Is Invariably a contest over
tho date, some wanting an early pri
mary and others wanting It late. And,
no matter which faction wins In the
committee, It Is charged with manipu
lating the committee In the Interest of
some particular candidate.
Our Democratic primaries are our
real elections In Georgia, the election
of all elective officers being determined
by them. Our primaries aro therefore
more Important than our regular elec
tions, the date of which Is permanent
ly fixed by law. "Wiry, then, should we
not have a regular dato fixed for tho
more Important election?
A regular date far our' state primar
ies would got rid of a lot of contention
every two years over tho selection of
a date, and we bellove It would also
have the effect of shortening the cam
paigns. With tho oxlstlng lndefinlte-
noss and uncertainty ns to the time tho
primary will ho held, candidates are
prono to "take tlmo by the forelock”
and onnounce themselves a year or
moro In advance. If It wore known In
ndvnnco that the primary would not bo
hold until, say, July or August, we be
lieve It would have a restraining effect
upon tho restlvo class of aspirants
who, under tho present plan, are led
by their ambition Into firing tho politi
cal woods too soon.
Tho fixing of a permanent, date for
holding our state primary would, in
our opinion, bo n decided Improvement
In the present syBtom.
ESTIMATING THE COST OF THE
CANAL.
At Inst the country hits beon given
an authoritative stntemont of tho
length of time required to build tho
Pnnnma canal on the plan In favor
with tho administration at Washing
ton.
Chairman Shonts has said It will
take twelve years.
Very well.
But tho Philadelphia Record wants
to know how this statement Is to be
reconciled with the claim thnt tho cost
of completing the work will not ex
ceod $1-10,000,000. And the question
which the Record rises to ask Is a
poser.
The appropriations for the canal for
tho current year amount to over $20,-
000,000: and tho work Is not ovon In
full blnst. It would bo fair to assume
that when tho steam shovels and
drodges get Into full swing tho annual
appropriations will bo' oven larger. If
$20,000,000 be a fnlr yearly nvornge,
however, twelve years’ operations
would cost over $300,000,000—more
than twice tho sum estimated.
SUICIDE.
Except when a man Insists upon tak
ing somebody else with him, and com
mits murder In order to do It, suicide
Is an individual affair, and, viewed
from a selfish individual standpoint, it
would soem that tho right to commit
suicide Is not to bo questioned. But
there are few things within the power
of the Individual moro harmful to
mankind than suicide. And tho moro
conspicuous the individual and sensa
tional Ills suicide, the more harmful
and fnr-ronchlng the effect, especially
upon the weak-minded and thoso with
an abnormal weakness for notoriety.
Suicide is bad from whatever stand
point It may be considered. The effect
upon the living Is great, and yet tills
does not appear to bo considered by
those wild determine to take their owh
lives. The shock that Is given is hor
rible and tlio example thnt Is set Is
even worse. The example is tho exact
opposite of the considerate, the self-
sacrificing, the heroic. There ls„ in
deed, nothing so unherolc ub suicide.
THE PACKING HOUSE EVILS.
Yesterday's Herald published the
full text of the President’s special
message dealing with the packing
house abomination, bnt could not
mako room for the Nelll-Roynolds re
port which the President transmitted
to the congress with his message.
Following are some of the points
brought out In the report:
The stock yards are small, uncov-
I
ered, falsely paved and unsanitary In
both good and bad weather.
Cattle dying en route are thrown
upon the platforms where the cars are
unloaded.
In most of the buildings the flooring
Is of wood, and Is usuully soaked and
slimy.
All the buildings are Imperfectly
lighted.
Workers toll In a humid atmosphere
heavy with the odors of rotten wood,
decayed meats, and stinking refuse.
In nearly ail cases wooden recepta
cles are used and never cleaned.
Sanitary conveniences for the help
are Insufficient to protect their health,
regardless of protecting meats from
filth.
New buildings have the same de
fects as the older ones.
Entire absence of cleanliness In
handling meats used for food products.
Moat scraps raked from the floors
and utilized In canned and other com
modities.
After the slaughter house Is passed,
thore Is no effort at government In
spection.
Government labels are j placed on
canned goods when It Is Impossible for
the Inspector to know what Is con
tained therein.
Condemned meats are dyed and util
ized In ennned goods that bear gov
ernment labels attesting to their pur
ity.
Labels are washed from old canned
goods, sometimes their age number
ing years, and the product sold as new
under new labels.
Young girls work In rooms where
the floors are at all times wet, where
there Is no ventilation, and the tem
perature Is always ns low as 38 de
grees Fahrenheit.
