I i ATLANTA GA. January 4th 1896. Editor Constitution Permit me as an old man of nearly eighty. eight years and a citizen of At. lanta for over one years to congratulate you and your assistant editors on the ability and tact with which you have conducted from beginning to end your' great paper IE regard to the great Exposition which has just closed.

I doubt if any newspaper in the entire Union ever displayed such an amount of skill good judgment and taste on such an occasion. OHNATHAN NORCROSS. The Constitution lit Macon. tie Constitution has undertaken to make delivery in the city of Macon through the agency of the Parker News Company. Ithas long been the desire of the management that The Constitution should be delivered promptly to its patrons In Macon.

There was always one drawback to the delivery of the paper In that dry through the postofflce and that was the failure to get out Sunday's edition. This forced our patrons in that city to wait until Monday for their papers or to buy them on the street at an extra expense" The Parker News Company has undertaken the task of arranging a prompt dally delivery for The Constitution as wellas the collection of subscriptions. The headquarters of The Constitution in Macon will at. the Brown house where those desiring business with the paper will be readily served. The paper will continue' by mall to Its patrons until.

In each case the names have been placed upon a route for delivery. The wholesystem will be arranged within a few days. Macon Is the central city of Georgia splendidly located for business with commercial and financial men the peers of any In the country. The Constitution recognizes the value of this constituency and will do its best to give it an excellent service. i If tS Golden Words.

The communication from the Hon. Jonathan Noreross In this issue cannot tall to. attract attention. It is a high tribute from one of our oldest and most honored citizens and The Constitution appreciates It more than It would a. similar compliment from almost any other source.

Mr. Norcross has been a resident of' Atlanta for over one yearsand when he says that he doubts whether any other newspaper In the entire. union would have displayed so much skill good taste and Judgment In dealing with our great exposition" his words mean something. Praise from Sir Hubert Stanley Is praise indeed. Mr.

Norcross was one of the first mayors of Atlanta. He was here when the place was a utile village In the woods when cotton patches and fields occupied the sites or our now prominent business corners. He was here long before Atlanta was Atlanta. From first to last he has been a loyal progressive citizen and. better than all he has always been known as a.

wan of Roman integrity whose word was as good as his bond. In his young manhood and In his old age he has always worked earnestly and devotedly for the Interests or our. city and his labors have been appreciated. In forethought energy public spirit finnness and courage Mr. Norcross has few equals There Is.

not on the continent today a man of his age who Is more remarkable for both mental and physical year opensfcapplly for our old frlenii. We want to see himi spared for a long time to come to give the city he loves so well the benefit of his wise counsel lie Is now full of. honors and of years verging on four score and ten there. Is still work for his clear head big heart and willing hands and he will fall to respond when Atlanta calls. We wish health and happiness to Jonathan Norcross for the new year Unfair Criticism.

There Is a tendency on the art of some of the New York papers notably The World to criticise the bankers of that city for the methods they employ to get United States bonds at a lower rate than the market price. There Is also a charge that J. P. Morgan Co. are squeezing the government and when Mr.

Stetson the former law part. ner or Mr. Cleveland goes to Washington as he usually does before a bond issue it is immediately said by the able editors hat a dark lantern contract" has been made. Even now The World Is calltog on Mr. Cleveland in thee head editorials to smash the ring.

the ring being the syndicate of bank- ers formed by J. r. Morgan Co. Sow The Worldls In favor of issuing bonds to maintain the gold reserve and The Constitution Is not The World fav- ors the British gold standard and' The Constitution is so utterly opposed to it that. on behalf of the welfare of the people it would welcome the suspension of gold payments by the treasury to- morrow.

feeling sure that the event would be the forerunner of prosperity. Nevertheless The Constitution. feels that The World Tind other newspapers that. are criticisln and abusing the gold owners for making the best terms they can with Mr. Cleveland are guilty of rank injustice.

In the first place the owners of gold which is merely another name for the leading banks are not responsible for the' or the law by which silver was discredited and the government obligations made payable in gold alone. They are not responsible for the transS Terence of the option or the government to. pay either gold or silver to the creditor. They were probably glad to see these events occur but. they are not responsible for them.

The gold owners did not know the treasury was open to the raids of foreign bankers. It. Is true they took advantage of- the situation to draw out the gold and force bond Issues. But what would you have They are not in business for pleasure. but make money and they would be Idiotic indeed to allow such opportunities to slip.

The idea th a few bankers can squeeze' the government is nonsense. The people know and Mr. Cleveland knows that he can dictate terms to the bankers whenever he chooses to do so. But if the banks find him complacent and willing to submit to any proposition they may. make what then Whose fault Is It The banks would be foolish Indeed It they did not reap as much money as they could out of a situation for whose creation they are not responsible.

A hanker who wouldn't profit by such a situation if he had the chance Is unworthy of the trust au confidence reposed In him by hIs stockholders. The World has a. correspondent In Washington Mr. James in in whose trustworthiness It ought to have confidence. Mr.

Creelmm has found men In Washington who boldly declare that the real secret of the presidents weakness In the face of a seeming financial emergency" Is of a personal character. One or two skillful men who have his confidence' says Mr. Creelman play upon' his feaus for the safety of his own investments and those- or a coterie or friends and paint pictures of the ruin that will fall on the whole country. If the treasury should on some wet morning find Itself un able to hand over twenty-five tenths grains of gold every time a dollar bill Is presented for Now will The World contend' that the banks are responsible for this state of things A newspaper on the gold she can certainly afford to be just. The people cannot be told tot often that Mr.

Cleveland could stop the whole infamous business It he wVuld. Nashville's Exposition. The Tennessee Centennial exposition at Nashvile this year will be a great event. It is planned on broad. lines and Is well managed and there Is ample capital backing it.

Georgia and other southern states will liberally patronize this enterprise and Atlanta already feels a deep interest in' its success. Nashville is one of the pluckiest and. most progressive cities In the south. In the past thirty years Its population has increased from 25000 to more than 100000. It Is in the center of a productive region.

and its trade reaches out over an extensive territory. It has 500 factories hundreds of wholesale houses and Its colleges and universities are in. the front rank. The exposition will celebrate the one hundreth anniversary of. Tennessee's admission Into the union.

Subscriptions are rolling In. and It is said that $1,000000 will be spent on the buildings and It Is apparent that Tennessee's capital city Is. organizing one of the best ex positions ever seen on- this continent. Perhaps it would not be Just to com-pare It with others. It will on a different line but In its way It will be a splendid affair and there are thousands of Georgians who will be on hand.

By utilizing a. few pointers from' the Atlanta exposition Nashville will be able to make her undertaking a big success Our Inadequate Jail. Judge Newman did the right thing the other day when he ordered the release otseventern muonsbners who were confined in our county. jail on the ground that the' bad sanitary' condition of the building and the prevalence of measles would endanger their lives it they re rnaiied in confinement. This was the act of a.

humane and a sensible Judge and win be hertfly In- 4sT is. iOOT Jail. Is the ne black spot onjtheooantyflrecori It is a disgrace to. a civilized community and many grand Juries haVe said so In. very plain English.

The. county commissioners are to be congratulated for their ardor in lug for the building of a new jail and It is to be hoped that they will lose no time' in making a stat. Our present Bounty prison Is a pesthouse and1 a breeder of disease we should use it. much longer It is possible that it. would engender epldemlcswhIch would threaten the health of the entire community.

But while we need and must hue a new county Jail lar enough to meet the requirements of a populous. and growing county It is also a well known. that need a government prison. ItIs practically a death sentence to send men from tills climate to the federal prisons in the- north. Every year we send Georgians who have made a little moonshine whisky to Golumbus 0.

and Albany. N. and the rigorous winters kill them before they have served out a sentence of two or three years. This is very much like murder. We have no right to cauge the death of a prisoner who is sentenced to prison for a' terror of' years.

On the contrary his helpless condition should appeal to our humanity and we should take every reasonable ire- caution to protect his health and his bodily welfaFSy It is to be hoped that Judge Newman's order will expedite the building of our new A Dangerous Precedent. In New York there Is ft. premium on gold large enough to warrant Its Importation. This premium is due to the demand for the-metal by members of the blind pool organized. for the purpose of taking up the new Issue of government bonds.

which Is now only waiting for the wave of Mr. Cleveland's Imperial hand. This demand for gold on the part or the treasury and the struggle for it on the part of the bankers who are anxious to share the immense profits of the bond Issue has demoralized business in the financial centers lowered prices and caused a. general disturbance in those quarters where gold is supposed to be held. In Washington both congress and the public are holding their breath to see what Mr.

Cleveland proposes to do. It. is definitely known that there Is to bej a. bond issue otherwise the disturbing scramble for gold In New York would be unaccountable. But when and lit what shape will it come These are questions that the newspaper correspondents cannot answerand naturally they cannot be answered by anybody.

Meanwhile it is known that Mr. land has taken the whole matter into his own hands and has assumed entire responsibility for results. As the' law stands the president has nothing to do with the Issue of bonds the secretary of the treasury. alone being clothed with thatpower But Mr. Carlisle has been ignored.

Mr. Cleveland having boldly violated the law which makes the obligations of the government payable in coin there is no reason why he should not violate nay and every law that runs counter to his views and purposes. Ills. will is superior to the law In the matter or running the people orthe country into debt and into levying new and unnecessary tuxes on this and' the next generation of taxpayers. Men who know what they are talking about say that.

tile law which places the secretary of the treasury' In Absolute control of the bond issue business cuts no figure with Mr. Cleveland. In this way Mr. Carlisle seems to have dwindled to as small a potato In the estimation of Mr. Cleveland as be Is in the estimation of the people' who used to honor and trust him.

It is stated on high authority according to The New York World that Secretary Carlisle is Vrongly opposed to the bond issue and at a recent cabinet meeting declared Ijjs as to the legality of the bond is sue and advised strongly against it According to. the same authority the secretary and an anonymous cabinet officer. declared that the proper course to pursue was throw the entire re- sponsiblilty on congress and take It off the shoulders of tbe admlntotration. This is what any president who had the smallest regard for the law or the right or the people would have done before a single bond had been Issued at the demand of the money power. But this Is precisely what.

Mr. Cleveland did not do. He turned his back on his own party flaunted congress and proceeded to act as it the whole' responsibility of government rested on shoulders alone. In this way he has succeeded in striking a blow at our Institutions and In subverting the rights of' the pie to an extent that no one would have. deemed possible it It had not taken place before the very eyes of every man who' has taken the trouble to watch events.

We acquit the president of any dfr sire t6 assume autocratic and dictatorial powers. Thai he has no proper understanding of the. limitations of his. office' and the extent of. his responsibilities seems to be certain.

We are sure that he has no knowledge whatever of current public opinion. He believes that the sycophants and time' servers who feed the flame of his personal vanity truly represent the people. re all he believes that the Interest Money- Gold are of more Importance than all other interests whatsoever. He sees great prosperity among the class with whom he associates Mid he. could not be convinced that the rest of the people are not' prosperous In the same degree- and proportion.

Wrong handed honesty is sometimes as dangerous to the rights and of the people as a preconceived plot on the part of their-rulers to sacrifice them. The responsibility of maintaining the gold reserve hasno the remotest connection Wjjth the Qtitiesof tile president' In' the. first place this reserve tp Maijp. tain which the people. tovejrlieett and are being robbed- is ho iv jcfea tion of the law.

It Is for by law. It IsC purely affair employed res tenancels alto ethttseparate from the duties of presidential office. WhetheP Mr. Cleveland knows this or not may be a. matter of doubt.

It Is certain that his assumption of the responsibility has struck a serious blow at the credit of the country and twTprosperity of the people. But this is not 41L He might with some of' reason contend that he ought to maintain the reserve at a time when congress la session. There would be some- ort of sn excuse for Ithat But when BHtaseumes the respon- slbijity and cllngs to It with Imperious tenacity while congress Is in session he sets up a precedent that is danger. ously un-American and viciously undem fcratr When the representatives of the pppple are in session the. responsibility of providing' funds for the treas- ury and of ntalning a gold reserve rests' entirely wIth them.

But so powerful have the monled interests become that the dangerous precedent set up by Mr. Cleveland is supported and applauded by prominent members of both thereat parties. The Armenian Horror. American missionaries who have returned from Armenia say that the halt has not. yet been told of the horrible atrocities of the Turks.

The Moslems burn the houses of Christians and rob them and persecute them In every. possible way when they do not murder them outright In one place GOO Armenians were stripped naked and driven into a snow storm. A man who. witnessed a massacre was set upon the Turks and both of his arms were cut oft. Then his' little children were butchered anti their mother was.

cut to pieces. The Armenians are not allowed to carry arms or keep them In their houses and they are thereforecompletely at the mercy of their barbarous assailants. The missionaries have almost given up all hope. At one time they thought that the European powers would interfere hut It seems that England Is not willing to take any step for fear that Russia wilhgain some advantage. Turkey makes it a point to pay Interest on her.

bonds which are held In England and the money lenders are holding the British government back and preventing It from going to the aid of. the Armenians. It has been suggested that America. should interfere and force the Turks toi behave themselves. Europe would not object to this because after the trouble was over our troops would retire and of course there would be no attempt to conquer and hold.

any part or Turkey. But it is not likely that this will occur and everything. points to the absolute extermination of the Christians Inthe Turkish empire. No nation will raise a hand to protect them. Arbitration the Remedy.

The London Chronicle has a correspondent in this country who is a close observer. and a man of Ideas. His let- tot printed in yesterdays Constitution was- a very fair review of the Venezuelan situation. The Chronicle representative appreciates the depth or feeling in this country in' regard to the Monroe doctrine. He does not know or care what that doctrine is but he.

does not hesitate to say that when the Americans demand an arbitration or the Venezuelan question it would be. better for England to arbitrate than to fight. By declining arbitration In any shape Lord Salisbury is courting the-ill will of two continents especially when It Is recollected that In 1885 a treaty with Venezuela provided for this mode of settling the boundary question. This provision was canceled by Lord' Salisbury when he came Into power. The' Chronicle editorially Indorses Its correspondent and ors the arbitration.

Other leading Engllshnewspapers are following In line and advocating an amicable adjustment of the dispute. It is predicted by seeing English statesmen that the present controversy' will cause the Americans to build a fine navy and the next' generation will ant to. use It for aggressivje purposes. England's policy' should be to meet us half way In the Venezuelan matter and amend its treaty with usso that no further differences will arise between The Proposed Poe Memorial. At last Baltimore seems to be In earn.

est about erecting a suitable monument to Edgar Allan Poe. The Baltimore Sun Is strongly In favor of the project and In an editorial on the subject It concluded with this Just tribute Poe has been subjected to ranch criticism of an unjust character owing to his unhappy fate In obtaining a prejudiced hostile and unsympathetic first editor and biographer. It has been urged against him among other things that he was a severs critic of contemporary writers. It cannot. however be said With truth that Poe was unjust.

Time has consigned to obscurity the poetasters and writers against whom he warned the readers of his day thus ratifying his judgments. Toward the really meritorious among his contemporaries he was sympathetic and appreciative discerning In some cases the promise of genius still undeveloped or not yet recognized by the world. This Is notably shown in his essay on The Poetic Principle In which he quotes with warm admiration poems' written by various contemporaries such as Tennyson Longfellow and Willis. Poe's taste was exacting but his estimates of the writers of his time were Just and have been confirmed by the verdict of subsequent We decorate our cities with monuments to Burns ileine and other foreign poets and ignore some or our most famous men of letters. If Poe had lived In Europe he never would have been assailed as he has been here.

If he had selected. a different literary execntor his memory wquld not have been so maliciousjy traduced. It he had been milder In his criticisms of his contemporaries he onld have had fewer bitter' enemies.

tie Construction and equipment of a large otton factory on the penitentiary farm. The purpose is to operate this factory ylili the female and youthful mi convlctsV tenths of whom are ne- groes. The building will be. erected by cdnflcts and the only cost to the state win be machinery. This action in Alabama is commended to the consideration of the Mississippi legislature by Tie Vlcksburg Herald.

That Journal recalls the Interesting tact that ajiohllar policy was pursued in that a tate generation ago. A cotton factory' was operated in the penitentiary at Jack. son Wore the war and the experiment proved a success. The Commercial Herald also recalls the tact that a large. factory was operated with negro slave labor at WoodviUe Miss.

before the war and that It was a prosperous enterprise. We hope that the Alabama Idea. will not be adopted In other states. At a time when' the south Is trying to build up mills and factories to give employment to the people who deserve to make an honest living It would be very unfortunate' for the' states to degrade labor by turning the convicts Into. factory operatives.

Our criminals should not be employed In occupations which good people are struggling to engage In. We must make labor honorable and place' a premium upon skilled labor. It convicts are sent to the factories thousands of. respectable people will be' unwilling to work In them. Our convict problem Is a serious one and we do not know how to solve It.

But we feel that It would be against public policy to train our felons In the trades requiring skill and' allow them to compete with good people. Hard. work of the rougher sort Is good enough for our malefactors. It would be a. big mistake to place them in shops and factories and drive out the law abiding citizens who are' trying-to make a living as skilled laborers.

The New York hankers would be fools It they didn't make as much roomy as they could out of the reckless mismanagement of the governments financial affairs. It they didn't pick the turkey the foreign bankers would. Governor Morton seems to have a eta- mole fibre' boom on hand. The syndicate knows when and where to make money and that is a great talent.

Carlisle had failed to use the gold reserve as spending money the treasury would be bankrupt today. It appears that Mr. Dingley of Maine doesn't like the way Mr. Carlisle backs end fills. Mr.

Dingley should bear in mind that Mr. CatU Je is not hi. own master at this time. James Creelman says' that there is a good deal of mystery in. the bond deal pusi- Congress and the treasury do not seem to get along well together.

Says The St. Louis Mirror The new we- man is getting' dangerous It we may believe a. paragraph In a New York paper. Young Mr. Drexel was visiting recently.

In New York city about 11 o'clock. Mr. Drex-el is extremely good. looking but he is so modest In his deportment that he thought he Would not be molested. But tour girls stoodon a corner end as lie passed one of them said Aint he pretty- Mr.

Drexel turned and ran but the four girls followed him. embraced him and deliberately kissed him. He screamed for assistance and Patrolman Farley came to his am and' arrested the towP rls. The next day. In court when the Judge Interrogated the' offi- cer as to their-offense Patrolman Fancy described it and added There whattre called new woman your honor.

The judge fined the new women 2 apiece. Mr. Drexel doubtless will not be molested by the same women but with his fatal gift of beauty he Is liable to be in danger all the time. As to new women generally we think they will be Inclined to resent Policeman Farley' classification. Late Pence who is now a corporation lawyer In New York visited Washington' the other day and commiserated with those of his friends who are still In congress.

He Is glad he is out of it. When asked It he did not feel an occasional longing to plunge into the political arena once more he said No my aspirations in the line' of statesmanship are. quenched. I am now busy In the sordid pursuit. of corralling dollars.

Comfort Is better than fame. There Is not a single ex-confederate on the Venezuelan commission but Judge Al- vey was Imprisoned' for a time at' Fort Warren on account of aid and sympathy given to the disunion cause.
