In iirfier to appreciate I In* in I crest tlmt Columbus has in tbe ni'WH that we pub lish from Memphis in regal'd to Jay (rouldV plans*, it must he remembered t hut the Columbus and Western will be extended to liirmiu.diam. The eonne.e- (ion with Memphis will enable ns to get the Irenefit of the great systems leading to tile northwest. Philadelphians are bragging over the fart that the health of Philadelphia keeps very good, and that last, week there was a decrease of ninety-six deaths over the same week last year. If that many peo ple were to die in Columbus during a year our people would think it a fearful mortality. But the figures show that Columbus is the second city as for health in tlie United States. miles ofthis centre, with perhaps the ex ception of about two cents per hundred pounds to one or two places. In the dis tribution of this merchandise no other ei ty enjoys superior advantages in de livering to |m>inth along all the railroad lines, while river transportation offers in ducements that can he had no where else in Georgia, Alabama or Florida. These facts are incontrovertible and the merchants of <'oluinbus should use them to the greatest possible advantage. Another subject to which we invite the attention of capitalists and the enterpris ing citizens of Columbus is that of home manufacturing of home products, a pro cess which will make the exports from the factory grow in proportion with other exports from field and farm, which will change a large percentage of the ex ports of <tcorgin and Alabama to the pro- dints of skill, the lime oecupid being of more value than the raw material of which tin 1 product is composed. Kvery year sees a larger percentage of the field products used at home, and the develop ment of these states will he early assured by the proper encouragement of institu tions for the sublimation of home pro ducts, thus changing in time the character of tlm exported articles from that which costs labor for raising, to that which unites with labor, skill and capital, and |iays twice the amount for condensation. There is no reason why this cannot be done, and a profit all around be thus se cured. There is no interest in the south which is being talked of more than that of manufacturing of such articles as the soil around them produces, or for which there exists a local consumptive demand. We have great hopes in the future of Columbus. We expect to see this city furnish all this section of country with articles of merchandise, and to see the thirty-five hundred operatives increased to double that number within the next five years. The manual training school at St. Louis has just graduated a class of forty-five pupils. The school has met with great success, and is now warmly endorsed by manufacturers and others. Its pupils have entered various trades, and a large number arc employed by the Missouri Pacific railway company, whose foreman of machine shops says that lie would be glad to have bis shops filled with the graduates. There lias been similar expe rience in Philadelphia. There is a real demand for the boys educated in the me chanical shops of Girard college, the Spring Garden institute and the Manual Training school, in striking contrast to the lack of such demand for school grad uates who have received no practical training. With such potent facts as this, the commissioners should lose no time in establishing the technological school pro vided for by the last legislature. TJIK BUSINESS OUTLOOK. The business outlook for the country continues to grow encouraging. By common consent general business is im proving, the grain crops are remarkably promising and speculation is reviving, with money abundant at a trifle more profitable rates than a year ago. The embargo which labor agitation placed Upon ;U1 brandies of production is now proving the mainstay of legitimate val ues. Stocks of commodities have been disposed of in the regular daily processes of consumption without the general periodic clearing mil sale at ruinous dis counts, to make way for seasonable pro ductions. This is peculiarly true of manufactured goods. The liu-l that labor may now be depended upon, is encour aging mill-owners to accept orders foi lin' rest of the year, and justifies the be lief that the close of ISHfi will disclose a gratifying record id industrial expansion over the three previous years. The peo ple of Columbus should he ready at times to foster the interest of the city, and this they can do by judicious investment. As long as our business men and other classes maintain the harmonious concert of action that now characterizes them, there is nothing to he feared. The out look for Columbus was never more solid, bright, hopeful. A WORD TO THE l’KOl’I.t: OE ( Ol.l MRUS. There is no good reason w by Columbus should not be one of the leading com mercial as well as leading manufacturing cities in this state. it could he so if our mercantile interests are fostered and pro- Troulili 1 In the Camp. “On you call yourself a democrat?” asked the president, addressing a member of the New York delegation who had voted against Mr. Morrison’s motion on Thursday, and was, therefore, on the executive “black-list.” 't’liis is said to have been the first case of at tempted coercion on the part of President Cleve land. The democratic congressman declares that he resented il on the spot, and Haid in effect that the Morrison vote had convinced him that party lines, as they hud existed, were broken; that “free trade or protection?” was the only issue be fore the country, and that the sooner some peo ple in high places recognized that fact the wiser they would tie. Wt* doubt if there is much truth in the question accredited to the. president in the above Washington special, but it could have been propounded with the greatest propriety. This fact is now making itself very patent to the tariff followers of Congressman Randall, and they arc* now demanding a measure from the Pennsylvanian that will help them out with their constituents whom they have deceived. The reason for this is that they have begun to hear from home, and the information is that their politi cal fences are in very bad condition. Having voted against the consideration of a bill intended to secure a reduction of war taxes, a Washington special is au thority for the statement that they have waked up to the fact that they have repudiated the promises of the democrat ic party in many platforms, and that it will he difficult for them to explain to their constituents why they refused to employ their votes to amend a bill rather than kill it before it had been considered. They have made a dead set upon the ally of the republican protectionists, and have almost secured a promise from him that he will introduce a taritf hill of his own. What that hill is to he no one appears to know exactly. it is reported to contem plate increases as well as reductions and to put forward some propositions for a reduction of internal revenue taxes. It is of little consequence what it proposes. If it is introduced it must go to the ways | and means committee. If that eominit- i tee chooses to report it it will come into the house to open a discussion of the taritl question, and when that stage is reached Mr. Randall will have helped to | bring about precisely the situation sought l by Mr. Morrison. All his careful man- l agoment to prevent consideration will i have been wasted. j Mr. Randall and those who followed 1 him otf to the republicans hold any thing else hut an enviable position with noted with the same energy and enter- j prise that characterizes the management of industrial institutions. In this we have no reference to the re tail trade, which is second to no city in tin* south. Nor do wo wish to he under stood as rellecting upon the merits of the v holesale establishments already inaugu- . rated, as they have infused a spirit of on- ! terpviso in their business that is com- : inendable and that commands the trade! in a very large territory. Rut we desire to attract the attention of the people of Columbus to a matter which is not only I of vital interest to themselves, but w hich, I when considered logically and carefully, I presents an alluring aspect to the invest or that is not equalled from any other point in all this country. This subject is that of our wholesale trade. The Knqiirfr-Sin published j statements in regard to the rates of freight on Sunday last that were un known to many of our merchants and many of the business men of Columbus, and yet these facts have been in ex istence for more than two years. The figures develop that merchandise can be transported from all points north, east i . al aH f ates of trunsporta- 4 an y rlt y within two hundred ] democrats. They have been loudly in sisting that they favored a larilf reform, and thus they have attempted to mislead the people and the party. Their votes show w hat deception they an* practicing, and even now, on the very heel of de feating the Morrison bill,they in-i-t that they are in favor of a taritf reform. Rut we are told that Mr. Randall w ill be forced to introduce a hill. No one ex pects that he w ill introduce a hill or allow a motion to discuss the Morrison bill to he discussed in order that he may oiler his hill as a substitute. If he is really in earnest in his desire to secure taritf revision, he could save time by following the latter plan. Something must he done to enable some of the men who voted with him to account for their undemocratic course and to satify their constituents that they were representa tives to he trusted and to be renomi nated. By their votes each one of them declared himself to he against a reduc tion of taxes. It is not to he supposed for an instant that their constituents will agree with the position, and they may give Mr. Randall some trouble by forc ing him to bring in a bill that will really I show what he thinks ought to he done [ with the tariff. A CIinr •« - Ihe Savannah New* t>.l.en thin view of the re- j suit of the man n.eui.ng held in Muscogee i on Saturday last: "It is understood that Oen. Gordon prefers a primary election to a mass meeting. In fact, his j managers have not lost an opportunity to assert that Major Bacon is afraid to submit to prima ries, and depends for success upon mass meet- , ings. Whether this assertion is true or not, it is certain that in Muscogee county last Saturday the selection of delegates by the mass meeting which assembled there would have been a good thing for Gen. Gordon. The meeting was con vened and would have elected delegates to the state convention if the locul leaders hud favored it. The Gordon men had control of the meeting by a majority of 14. They elected their candidate for chairman, and could, doubtless, have elected Gordon delegates. The reason they did not do so is because of the demand of General Gordon’.' managers for primaries. It is not improbable that these managers wish that the people of Mus cogee had never heard of Gen. Gordon’s prefer ence for primaries. "In the main, however, it is probable that pri maries are beneficial to Gen. Gordon. He has a way of talking to the people that is calculated to make friends for him, and it is not too much to say, probably, that if he succeeds in getting the nomination his victory will be due largely to his speeches and his brilliant record as a soldier.” It May Prove n Rea!it). The Atlanta Journal is disposed to laugh at the candidacy of our friend ReviJi, as the following facetious article will attest: “Among the genuinely humoristic features of the present gubernatorial campaign is the sub lime heroism displayed by editor Revill, of the Meriwether Vindicator. He has asserted from the start that the fates have decreed that he ; shall be governor of Georgia, and lie says he will j fight it out on that line if it takes him all sum mer. Taking advantage of the canard that Gor- j don aud Bacon are to be laid aside and a third , candidate is to be taken up, editor Revill, with a blush whose brilliant redness would make a June ! rose turn pale with envy, remarks: ‘We have j told our friends all the while we were sure to come in. We are large enough for the party to harmonize upon.’ We are in doubt which to ad mire most, the simple, child-like faith of this | ‘Lone Fisherman’ of the campaign, or the sub- , lime picture of self-sufficient assurance which • with undismayed persistency blows its penny , whistle in the very teeth of a swirling cyclone.” Archibald Forbes shows his good sense in marrying an American girl. He is a thorough cosmopolitan who has traveled around the globe several times and been a sojourner in all lands, yet when he wants a wife he turns his longing eyes to where the stars and stripes proudly flap j in the breezes. He knowe that the American young woman has not her equal in the world. The 1 in k of ex-President Hayes is phenome nal. His barnyard has never been visited by i chicken cholera, poultry continues in strong de- ! maud, and there are no unfavorable fluctuations j in the egg market. As if fortune had nothing to | withhold from the ex-president, a reservoir of ! natural gas has been discovered on his farm and j thus the problem of cheap fuel for heating chicken feed is solved. The Inter-Ocean savs that the Chicago an- j archists and bomb-throwers don’t care to have i their trials in the courts until the funerals of the ; wounded policemen are through with. The sound of dirge and muffled drums coming to the ears of a jury is a dangerous argument. It may be possible in time to get a jury stolid aud igno rant enough to send the accused out free men, but the probabilities point the other way. A Floridian shipped six crates of beans to New York; gross receipts, 25 cents. Next time he will know better and send them to Boston, where "they know beans." An English dramatic critic, writing of Irving as Mephistoplieles and Miss Terry as Marguerite, says that the latter’s face is as frill of heaven as the former’s is of the other place. Tub fact remains that Boston is a literal} J center. The postoffice of that city yields the • government every y< ar in round numbers j #3,000.000. They held an election down in Santiago the other uay, and when the polls were closed Dirm- tor, the leader of one party, and forty others, .ay dead on the streets, while the hospitals were i filled with the injured. The result is not an nounced, but the first returns look like a great . democratic victory. IIeur Most’s associates have carried his pestiferous newspaper over into New Jersey, and I now mingle their cries for blood with the roar of . the -sanguinary Jersey mosquitoes. New Yorkers i are glad of it. They never did like New Jersey! {Copy.) Chicago, April21st, 28S*3.

This gentleman, the senior member of (lie firm of Sheridan Bros., fresco artists and decorators, of Atlanta, Ga., is a gen uine yankee by birth, but a southerner by choice and adoption. Born in tlie puri tan city of Providence, It. I., 31 years ago, at an early age lie turned his attention to art. lie is by nature an artist, and bis years of study and tuitiim in eastern cities have developed him into one of tlie fore most young decorators of his time. Some years ago he came south to decorate the interior of the Church of the Imaculate Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the people and climate, determined to locate south of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since then he has been joined by his brothers, F. R. and George, and churches and fine dwellings in every principal city of tlie south attest their ability, energy and en terprise. “My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during 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 had been for years putting upon it in tlie active men tal labor necessary in the pursuit of my avocation. While I have not what is termed a delicate constitution, I am by no means a robust fellow, and have what might lie called the ‘New England mold,’ physically. For some time past I bud been losing vigor, when my attention was called to Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure as a tonic and strengthener of tlie sys tem. I began using it about four weeks ago and since that time have gained eight and a half pounds in weight. My blood is as pure as spring water and my entire system revitalized. I have no hesitancy in saying that it is the best general tonic upon tlm market to-day.” JUDGE THOMAS PULI.UM, now in his three score and ten years, and one of the most prominent nxeii in Geor gia, born and raised near Union Springs, Ala., where lie amassed quite a fortune by strict integrity and honesty, and in later vears connected witli tlie wholesale drug house of Pemberton, Pullum & Co., of Atlanta, Ga., and now a citizen of that city, said a few days ago in the presence of a reporter: “My wife had been for many years a constant sufferer from rheumatism. Her joints were swollen and distorted, great knots had formed upon her hand. She could only witli great difficulty and pain manage to walk, and was a constant suf ferer from this dreadful disease. We tried everything we could read or hear of, and took advice of eminent practi tioners without any benefit in tlie way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time ago, ALTHOUGH I HAD LOST FAITH in all patent medicines and nostrums and considered her case incurable. “The effect was magical; the pains have entirely vanished; the swelling and dis tortion of tier joints has disappeared, and the disease lias been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system. She is still using tlie medicine as a precautionary measure, and her general good health is being restored by it. I can honestIv and fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheu matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu matism aud the blood upon the market. ’ For sale by wholesale and retail drug gists everywhere.
