SENT TO ANY ADDRESS. ATLANTA. APRIL 11, 1890. Samuel J. Randall.

Of Samuel Jackson Randall, who lies dying in Washington today, it may be truly said that he is one of the most remarkable men of our times. He was not great In the methods of oratory that made Clay and Webster and Calhoun famous, but in all other respects he has proven himself the equal of the greatest men who have distinguished themselves in the American congress. Though he lacked the fluency of statement, and had not the singular gift of ex pression that appertains to eloquence, he was a strong speaker in every sense of the word. Above and beyond all, he was a man of action, a man of affairs, and these qualities gave him a power that was all his own. By virtue of this power he was enabled to Impress his individuality on legislation to an extent that has rarely been matched by our public men.

Even when the republicans were in control he was placed oh the most Important committees, where his individuality and his experience made their influence Though he was great in the committee room, and conspicuous even in the ordinary routine of and though he filled the speakers place with an ability and a dignity rarely reached by the occupants of that his real greatness came out only when, on the floor of the house, surrounded by a hopeless and helpless minority, he fought inch by inch the aggressive and repressive measures aimed at the people of the south by the republicans. Here his greatness shone forth not less in the zeal with which he espoused the cause of an oppressed people than in his unwavering and dauntless courage, and the marvelous fertility of his resources as a parliamentarian, It is hardly necessary to recall at this time and to tins people the nature of the services rendered by Mr. Randall on the occasion of the republican attempt to pass the infamous force bill. The nature of the measure, the intentions of the republicans, the attitude of the democrats, the condition of the south, all conspired to make the struggle a memor able one. But a memorable contest was made remarkable by the stand taken and the tactics employed by Mr.

Randall. It is safe to say, taking into consideration all the the temper of the republicans, the anxiety of the south, and the vital importance of the that no such scene was ever before witnessed in the American congress. The republicans, bitter, vindictive, arrogant and powerful, were determined to push the foree bill through. Mr. Randall stood like a lion at bay, at his back a solid but helpless minority.

For nearly a week, day and night, he stood in the breach, paralyzing his opponents by his parliament ary skill and amazing his friends by the splendid audacity he displayed. Mr. Randall cut a picturesque figure during that memorable week. Always on his feet erect, serene, smiling, alert and audacious, he outgeneraled the republicans at every point, and finally compelled them to abandon their schemes of southern oppression. He won the gratitude of this people that occasion, and held it.

There was an attempt made during the last campaign to belittle his work and his influence, but in this matter, we are glad to say, a few foolish editors and a score of noisy politicians did not represent the people. There has never been a time when the south did not remember Mr. Randall's unselfish devotion, and there has never been a time when the demoj cratic masses of the country did not honor him for his services to the party. Mr. Randall was the friend and confidant of Mr.

Tilden, and, after Mr. Tilden, was the greatest democrat of this generation. Owing to circumstances altogether fortuitous, Mr. Randall never figured as the leader of the party, and yet he was its real and natural leader, and was recognized as such by those who are familiar with the interior machinery of the party. He was its leader by reason of his ability, his experience and bis integrity, and by reason of the fact that he was the most conspicuous democratic statesman in the country.

For nearly thirty years Mr. Randall has been a member of the lower house of congress, and his services there have become a part of history. He saw many reputations shrkel in the breath of scandal, but through all the temptations and contingencies of reckless and corrupt period his name was unstained. His unflinching integrity stood every test, and during bis long career not even partisanship whispered aught against his name. He was an old fashioned democrat, and all his services were devoted to the cause of the people.

He was the foe of every job, and the lobbyists about Washington gave bim a wide berth. It as due to him, more wan to anyone else, that the fraudu lent praetKes of the whisky ring were uncovered. Thlf ring had connections and wmifieationMhat Mr. Randall never dreamed and it was mainly due to the influence of combination that he was made the vie to of democratic abuse and misrepreseqta tion at a time when be to the success of the party mder of The THE CONSTITCTION; ATLANTA, JPMDAY, APRIL 11, PAGES. and character that made Mr.

Randall appointment it will take a very cranky conspicuous as a democrat and as an Ameri can statesman, but only those who knew, him personally could appreciate their finer accompaniments. The strong, almost rugged, individuality was tempered by a sensitiveness and a delicacy of feeling that gave the charm of grace to the sturdiness of themp.n. With the death of Mr. Randall the country loses a statesman unselfishly devoted to its interests, and the democratic party a leader, wise, prudent, experienced and aggressive, A Cyclone Chapter. The recent cyclones or tornadoes in the west were bad enough, but other storms a few generations ago caused a much greater loss of life and property.

A little more than a century ago the West India islands were visited by what is known as the great hurricane. This storm came near enough to our own country to alarm many people, but nothing like it has occurred in recent years. This destructive storm struck an English fleet anchored before St. Lucie, and every ship wenrto the bottom with the soldiers and sailors. The tempest then swept over the island, making a complete wreck of every thing, and burying six thousand people un der the ruins.

Jf ortv trench vessels, bear ing four thousand soldiers, were swallowed up. San Domingo, St. Vincent and Porto Rico were left desolate. Millions of dollars worth of property, and more than twelve thousand people were destroyed, The historians have not attempted to do justice to this awful hurricane. The black cloud was charged with death.

After anni hilating the mighty navies of France and hngland in. those waters, it ravaged the finest islands under the it stripped the palatial mansions of the planters from the hills, and licked up the peaceful villages in the valleys. Great forests were torn splinters, and stately temples and massive castles shared the common ruin, which spared neither the lowly cabin of the slave nor the lordly dwelling of his master. Similar storms, darting out with wild fury troin their est Indiau lairs, occasionally swoop down upon our gulf coasts, or skirmish along our south Atlantic border, but their full force has never been felt in the interior. The storms belonging to what may be called our American system, have rarely killed more than a hundred persons in one of their visitations, and the havoc they make with property is slight in comparison with their work southeast of us.

If our buildings in the cities and towns and out in the country were as substantial and strongly constructed as was the fashion a' century ago, the. wind would do less damage; But in these days we build with more regard for show than strength. Our structures are not built to defy the elements they are light mere toys in the grip of a tornado. But tempests of very great violence are, in point of fact, exceptional with us. They ere so rare that perhaps we are not called upon to resort to ex traordinary safeguards.

A Startling Statement. The American navy has become a national chestnut which has been going the rounds for half a century its phantom ships have furnished fun for the paragraphers of the world; it has been laughed to sea and laughed back again, and more wind has been exhausted in talking about it than ever filled the sails of our stately ships. Talk is cheap, a good deal cheaper than a navy would be, and that is why there is so much of it. The navy has had a much needed rest, however, in the last few months; but now comes Mr. Wilkinson, of Louisiana, and tells us that upon whom we have heaped insult, and added injury to it, has two ships which could send our whole navy to of the sea.

While the good work which ex Secretary 1 Whitney so happily inaugurated is being today is better than it was a century ago, sucn statements as mat made by 51r, Wilkinson must alarm the government and divert its attention fromthe work of dumping the surplus into some of the bottomless pits where it is now going, to the more im portant duty of building ships that can hold their own with the iron monsters of the Celestial empire. Mr. Wilkinson's statements are startling. and it is to be hoped that China will not take advantage of the situation and sail into the navy before we are ready for her. The Unexpected Happens.

The Bostonians are familiar with the French saying that the unexpected always happens; but when they invited a number of prominent colored men from the south to visit their city and speak on the race problem, they did not expect to hear vindication of southern methods. But this is precisely what has come to pass. A bishop, several preachers and a teacher or all black and all from the far have spoken in Boston within the past two weeks, and their utterances have been a genuine surprise to their audiences. These southern negroes, ail of them men of education and character, have plainly told their New England friends the truth about the situation. Their story, briefly summarized, was to this effect: The southern blacks are as free as they would be anywhere; they are.

prospering and being educated; they find more occupations open to them than they would find in the north; they voluntarily associate with their own race and are not bothered by any race problem; so far from having their vote sap pressed, they do more voting than is good for them. After listening to the inflamed speeches of tne looks, xjoyntons and CJreggs, many wra oi tne soutn wonia tell a tale of op pression and cruelty rivaling the terrors of Liberia. The orators came, but they did not deliver the goods. They were sleek, contented looking fellows, dressed in sinning broadcloth, and they took no pains to con ceal the fact that they felt in every way superior to tne men oi their race who were so unfortunate as to live in the north. They spoke up boldly for the sooth, and made it dear that they were better satisfied with the conditions prevailing in their home than they would be if they had to contend with northern race prejudice.

For the present the race question is decidedly unpopular in Boston. The reformers are glaring at their colored visitors in rah a dis agitator to advocate a new crusade against the south in the Interest of the negro. For a time, at least, the alleged race problem will be let alone in the modern Athens. A Philabklphia editor has been swindled cut of 9300,000.

It is almost time for the ci rrom the New York Sun. we, a to be at The Philadelphia Press says that the Indiana republicans forgot to vote at the local elections recently. In the south, when the negroes fail or forget to vote, it is called intimidation. At the risk. of hurting Brer Estill's feelings, our Washington correspondent yesterday gave a fine example of BrcVs sharp practice.

The Boston Herald seems to be astonished that nobody quotes Mr. Harrison. And yet It is thought that Bnck will write a card in behalf of the Savannah paper published in Macon. Tom about iajfajr play. Brer Estill is having a hard time in his Savannah paper, published in Macon, trying to bolster up Bock.

Somebody ought to warn Brer Estill that Bnck is a heavy load to carry. Congress ought to adjourn and leave Speaker Reed to do all the legislation. He seems to be equal to this even when congress is in session. The Harrison administration will go far before it finds a fitter representative than Buck. EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Thf.be will be no duel between Congressman Phelah, of Tennessee, and Editor Fleming, of the KnoxviUe Sentinel. The editor's severe criticisms of Phelan's "History of Tennessee" provoked a letter from the historian plainly hinting at a duel, but Fleming replied that be could not treat ebullition of rage as a cause for a challenge. He warned the congressman that duelling is a felony, and out of the question under tbe circumstances. In conclusion he wrote: "I am pretty well persuaded that you have been a spoiled boy, nattered into a delusive assumption of some sort of personal superiority, a misfortune which oftentimes follows too little spanking and too much petting." It is rumored that New York thinks of cleurat ing the landing of Columbus all by herself. Such a show in 1892 would be a serious blow to Chlcaeo's fair the following year.

The idea is for New York to get up a big jubilee with a lot of ancient looking vessels. There be many picturesque effects. Columbus and his followers would have to be gorgeously dressed in the show would require no costumes at all, the expense would not be much. BLowm gets the biggest pay of any newspaper man in turepe.

The three sworn managers of that election declare that Mr. Henry did without molestation or hindrance deposit his ballot, and that toe same was duly numbered, recorded and counted.

lAte in the afternoon of the day of the election Mr. W. P. Clark and Mr. Henry met and had a personal altercation growing out of harsh words used by both parties.

This was after Mr. Henry had voted, and took place out sight of the voting place, and was not of sufficient magnitude to attract the attention of any one not to sight, and was not known managers until they had closed the election. The state courts had redressed Mr. Henry's wrongs. The United States grand jury had declared their convictions with the light of the "whole truth" before them.

But at the federal court, without any witness save the prosecutor and his brother, whose ex parte declarations smack of wrath and desire for vengeance, the grand jury returned a true bill against these four young gentlemen for conspiracy.

With whom did he undertake "to make terms" on behalf of The Atlanta Coxstitutiok, and what are his reasons for believing that that paper would sell out to the republican administration?
