It i« nai'l Ik* will haw no difli- ciilty in uvcuriiiK a ileliyation from that county. The number of aliens holding office under the United Staten I'overn- ernment in bej'inniiq; to receive serious consideration. This country extends a hearty welcome to all foreigners wfio in- tendjto heroine citizens, and there is no reason whatever why such naturalized citizens should not till offices with credit to themselves and the country. But the appointment of aliens to office is a step in the wrong direction. Tub scientists are speculating on (he connection between sun spots and red- sunsets, cyclones, earthquakes and vol canic eruptions of which tin* last few years have furnished such numerous and startling examples. The prize essays on the red sunsets, numbering several hundred, ami written by men of note in all countries, furnished the usual illus trations of many men of many minds, hut the best was tlint which assigned the phenomenon to a big solar eruption which loaded and extended the solar en velope so that its nebulosity became visi ble. It is certain that, sun-spots have been seen in large numbers and of large size within till* last two or three years, and all observers agree that the red-sun sets always followed an unusual display of spots. When we consider t hat these sjsits represent centres of disturbances inony times larger than our earth, the possibility of solar influences is not an inapt conclusion. Whatever changes the past few days have witnessed in the business situation, tlie preponderating factors have been fa vorable to common prosperity. Specula tion is everywhere conducted on a mod erate scale with the tendency toward permanent investment of funds growing more prevalent. Railroad bunds sell more readily than stocks and security is more often considered essential than a high rate of interest. A safe return, and not a large one, is looked for. The pub lic has not been led into Wall street yet, us the improvement in general business and the increase in railroad earnings have been too gradual to induce any sus tained upward movement in prices. The professional operators have faith in the list to the extent that they do not dare to sell it “short,” hut purchases continue small. The labor troubles have their hacks broken as a national influence upon commerce and production, and the iron and steel men have become more hopeful in consequence, as orders for manufactured goods increase. ir—Tv» —r- : — *■ - , — — AS TO A Itt HK NOME. * The EsquiiiHR-Sux lias', bn several oc casions,-.expressed itself* as to “dark ■ lives" te imlitieal campaigns in Inn- mtgc sufficiently plain as not to he mis- mdersthild. The idea' that we entertain *f the “dark horse” is a man who dis credits his ability to secure an office he lesires by coining squarely before the ■eople, and prefers to work schemes upon a nominating convention, with the hope that circumstances will thus give lim what lie could not otherwise obtain, fliis diameter of a “dark horse" is not only discreditable, but is one of tlie worst features in modern polities. When there are two or niorejeandi- i.ites seeking a nomination, and some one other than these candidates is nomi nated, it does not follow that lie is a dark horse. When tlie candidates in a con test cause tlie campaign to become so heated as lo jeopardize the interest of liit* party by the nomination of a pro nounced candidate, conventions;'*lmvc frequently acted very wisely in making -election of seme one against whom no -neb bitterness exists. It is under such circumstances as these that tlie Savnti- hah News says this: “It is rattier remark able that tlie people have submitted so patiently to tlie bulldozing tactics adopted by tbe managers of General Gordon and Major Bacon to force them to support their re spective candidates. These managers have as sumed from the outset that the choice for a can didate for governor must he confined to the two men tl»y represent. They do not admit that there are other men in the state qualified for the governorship, and, by the course they are pur suing, deny that the people have a right to look outside of their principals for a candidate. With out being solicited they put forward two men, and, in effect, have said to the people they must take one or the other of them.” Mucli on the same line is tlie following which wo And in tlie Evening Capitol, a paper that warmly supports general Gordon: “There is a great and growing desire among many of the best citizens for another gubernato rial candidate. One that has not been so mixed up with wire pullers and political machinery seems to be the demand. Some laugh at the idea of a dark horse coming up at the convention. There were many who laughed at the idea at the Inst convention, and thought that Boynton would surely be selected over Bacon, but Governor Mc Daniel’s name was proposed to the convention, and he swept nearly the entire delegations. If a good, true man could he selected at the coming convention we predict that he would get the unanimous vote, and his selection would give great satisfaction to all conservative people.” The Capitol honestly believes that as between General Gordon and Major Ba con that Gordon will he the nominee, and nothing but a desire to see the best interest of the party promoted would cause it to make such a statement as the above. One of Major Baeon’s leading, supporters, and one who professes to be stumping the state in the interest of Major Bacon, has publicly announced that he would not support General Gor don if nominated hv the convention. While such an utterance should not he allowed to thwart the wishes of the dem ocratic party, it at least suggests the propriety of making an investigation as to the extent of bitterness existing be tween rival candidates. If it is believed by the convention that the nomination of one or the other of the candidates will subject the party to danger, the duty of the convention is plain. There are too many available men—men who ars fully competent and worthy in each particular and early report* are bined on the count!,** lying along the railroads and are not reliable in no close a Rate an a guoss at the whole.QThe reduction of the majority of 2256 for Blaine over CVei-^land to about 1000 for the republican congressman would of itself be sufficient to place the state in the doubtful column for 1888; but the Oregonians have done even better than this -they have elec ted half the state ticket, and those officers whom they have chosen are the most important in the administration. Oregon was largely settled from the southern states, and this is the reason of her obstinate ad herence to democracy. In 1800 Lincoln had a plurality only, the democratic vote being nearly equally divided between Donglas anti Breckin ridge. As soon ns the war was over the Oregon ians returned to the democracy, giving their (•lectors in 1868 to Heymour. They could not stand Greeley, nnd the republicans have since then contrived to carry the state by a small ma jority, which is now almost lost. Thk only wedoing present the president de clined was from the Sultan of Turkey. The presi dent will keep an eye on such gobblers of tbe G. A. Barclay, a Scotch tourist, who is now in this country, says, with the single exception of N- pies, Chicago bents the world for the preva len :e of drinking and social vice. Now that the Irish leaders know precisely where to find Mr. Gladstone on the home rule question, all cause of distrust is removed, and Irish votes in England will not be thrown to the tories as they were last year. Doubtless every Irish voter in an English constituency will shout and vote for the liberal candidate. This will help u little. The liberals think they will make other and larger gains. It would appear that the only advantage the tories have over the liberals lies in their pocketbooks. One of the papal messengers who are to hear to this country the here tv for Cardinal Gibbons is Count Stanislas Muccioli. This gentleman married a North Carolina girl, Miss Terry, the daughter of an Episcopal minister who lived and served in Wilmington not many years ago, and Miss Terry, it is said, was confirmed by Cardinal Gibbons when he was last in Rome. The count is a member of the Noble Guard, which attends im mediately on the person of the pope, and capti vates the fancy of every American girl in Rome by its dash and the brilliancy of its uniform. London is now the largest city that has been built upon the earth, and in its commercial relations and wealth no city of any country can be compared with it. It is to-day one of the world’s wonders. Water is selling for fifty cents a barrel at Gal- j veston. It’s a fortunate thing for the citizens of | that section that water is not highly prized ! as a drink. The reports given to the press in Venice con- j cerning the ravages of cholera in that city do not I agree with the reports received from Venice by the marine hospital bureau at Washington. The press reports show a daily average oftwenty new cases and ten deaths. The bureau is informed that the daily average for the two weeks ending June 6 was forty-one new cases and twenty-two deaths, and that on one day in that period the record was sixty-one new cases and thirty-six deaths. The death rate is, therefore, more than 50 per cent. The steady advance of the disease indicates that the city will suffer severely before the summer is ended. London papers report that cholera has appeared on the Austrian fron tier in places connected with Venice by railway. A divorce case is soon to come up in a Maine court, the outgrowth of a trifling quarrel between a man and his wife twenty-five years ago. Since that day, although living together,, neither has spoken to the other, until a few weeks ago, when 1 , in the excitement of house cleaning, the woman said to the man, “Where’s the nails?” The man looked at the woman calmly and did not answer. Indianapolis is very proud of the fhet that it is becoming a musical center of the most central kind, thereby throwing Chicago and Cincinnati completely in the shade. A local paper describes how at a recent festival the song, “Tenting on the Old Camp Ground,” was sung as it can be sung only in Indianapolis. When you hear a man who is an American citizen boasting t hat he “does not vote” and has “nothing to do with the dirty pool of politics,” ... . . . . you can always mark him down as a man un to llll till* Jilgh onice—-to allow any per- worthy of his privileges, a failure in his trust, sonal ambition or prejudice to place the party in jeopardy. W K IIVVI NKYKH BKMKD IT. The Hamilton Journal of yesterday contains this paragraph: “The Columbus Enquirer-Sun claims now that Hon. Henry R. Harris was pledged two years ago not to be a candidate again for congressional honors. His opponent then claimed that there was an understanding or bargain of this kind by which the nominee secured certain very strong help in his canvass. The charge was denied, anti if the Enquikkk-Sun was silent then as the friend of Colo ucl Harris, it should hold its tongue now in the interest of the party. Is its testimony not barred by the statute oflimitatioo?” i Tub manifesto issued by Mr. Glad stone, a lew days ago, to his constituents in Midlothian, is a clear statement of tlie differences between the liberals, who fa vor home rule for Ireland, and all those who are opposed to home rule. There are, lie declares, hut two lines of policy to he voted on, that of coercion, advoca- j ted hv Lord Salisbury and the eonserva- j tives, and that of home rule advocated by the liberals, lie denies tlie right of the opposition to tlie title unionists, be cause their policy will lead to disunions, while tin* home rule policy will lead to closer union. Mr. Gladstone was elected to parliament for the tilth time from Midlothian last fall by a majority of -biffl, receiving 7S7tl votes to ItlMs for Dalrym- nlo, con-ervativi*. John Kkllv’h estate is valued at £100,000. A strange! ceremony was witnessed in tlie Il linois state prison last Monday, the conferring of tlie rite of continuation on J17 convicts. Among those who were confirmed were several murder ers, habitual criminals, burglars and other felons of the worst type. Mrs. Lou M. Barnard'.- FAMILY HOTEL, No. 3il» F.a«l 11 tlk St.. NEW IT O IR, J£Z m Aii American Cotton Market. The Savannah News asserts that some of the southern papers are demanding that tlie Ameri can cotton men declare their independence of English tyranny, and establish a market of their , own. They argue that ns we produce two-thirds In the* above the Journal misrepresents | of the cotton supply of the world, and spin say the facts. The Kniiituek-Sun lias never at any time said or intimated that Col. Harris did not say that he would not be a candidate again for congressional honors. On the contrary, he repeated it from one end to tlie other of tlie district. There could have been no possible grounds for such denial if we laid desired ever so much to have done so. If the 'charge “was denied it was not done by the EVUTRER-^i'N, and if any such denial was made, it escaped our at tention. 3} *P Journal has the privilege <\f using i any means it may desire tot employ in furthering the interest of Col. Harris, but it shotiVI be careful to have facts on its side in doing this, and it is not a fact that the EsiH'iiiER-Scx ever denied, or denies now, ttie charges which tlie Journal al leges were made. but why should the Journal consider it “ in the interest of tlie party" for the Enquirer-Sun to he silent upon this question? Does the Journal think that the interest of the party demands the nomination of Col. Harris? if so, it must admit that a wonderful change has come over tiie spirit of its dreams since the last congressional race. ‘2,000.000 bales a year—the present year’s estimate is ‘2,‘200.000 bales—that the price of cotton ought not to be in so large a measure under the control of Liverpool operators and Manchester spinners. It is asserted that now is a good time for the cot ton men to sign the declaration and establish their independence on a permanent basis, as the stock at Liverpool, as well as here and afloat, is less than that of last year at this date, and as the prospects are that the demand for consumption at Liverpool will be 25,000 bales per week more than that of last year, when the troubles at Old ham materially decreased the consumption oft he staple. There seems to be no good reason, says the News, why the market cannot be controlled to a great extent this side the water, especially when, as seems to be the case at present, the demand promises to be somewhat commensurate with the supply. The bulk of the cotton is produced here, and there is believed to be plenty of idle capital in the eastern cities to control it, if the owners of this money could only be induced to invest in it. It is probable, however; that the cotton market will never be controlled in America until it is controlled by the producers. The Morning News has long urged the planters to declare their inde pendence of money lenders, to break loose from the old credit system, which lias made them worse than slaves, and to get in a position where they can hold their cotton unincumbered until they can influence the market.

The use of the ordinary cream of tartar, or of a baking pow der containing lime, alum or phosphates, carries deleterious ingredients into the food to the prejudice of the life and health of the consumer. The ordinary baking powder contains either lime, which introduced into the system in too free quantities causes serious disorders of the kidneys; alum, a corrosive poison, or phosphates, which are condemned by physicians as deleterious in their effect when taken under certain physical conditions. The absolute purity of the Royal Baking Powder makes it preeminently the most useful and wholesome leavening agent known. It contains no lime, alum, phos phate or other impurity, leaves no alkaline or other residuum in the food, and its use always ensures pure, l’ght and sweet bread, biscuit and cake, that is perfectly digestible and wholesome whether hot or cold, fresh or stale. Its leaven ing power has been determined the highest whenever tested by official authority, and all chemists and writers on food hygiene commend it for its sterling qualities. Opposite Rankin House.

He is by nature an artist, and hi. years of study and tuition in eastern cities have developed him into one of the fore most young decorators of his time. Some years ago he came south to decorate the interior of tlie Clmrch of the 1 maculate Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the people and climate, determined to locate south of Mason and Dixon’s line, since then he lias been joined by his brothers, F. K. and George, and churches and tine dwellings in every principal city of the south attest their ability, energy and en terprise. “Mv system,” said Mr. Sheridan durin** a recent conversation, “had been for some time GRADUALLY RUNNING DOWN, “I was not sick, in a general sense of the word, but my physical strength was feeling the severe strain I bad been for years putting upon it in the active men tal labor necessary in the pursuit of mv avocation. While 1 have not what is termed a delicate constitution, I am in- no means a robust fellow, and have what might be called the ‘New England mold.' physically. For some time past 1 had been losing vigor, when, my attention was called to Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure as a tonic and strengthener of the sys tem.
