Mr. Lalxiuchcro has never wasted any love tin the peers, and In- will henceforth thump them with fresh ferocity. Tiikuk is very considerable reason to suspect that the passage of the hill for feiting the land grant of the Northern Pacific railroad company covering the uncompleted portion of the Cascade divis ion was either a piece of demagogism on the part of those engineering it or id' gross ignorance of the real facts in the case.

A hotter selection could not easily have been utade, and it will he the cause of much gratification to the friends of that insti tution. lie is eminently qualified for ItTw? discharge of encumbent duties, and is a gentleman whose personal, public and Christian character is beyond re proach. We most heartily congratulate the institution upon the wise choice in a presiding officer. Tim democrats of Indianapolis make slow work of it fixing up their eongres- si'wmil dillh'iilties.

Major Powell, director of the geological survey, l as replied to the criticism of I the joint commission on hit- work, and Mr. Herbert, of the commission, has made a caustic rejoinder. Altogether the j director gets the worst of the controversy. : It appears from his own admission that the only power lie has is Idr "the prepa ration of a geological map," and vet lit' has been preparing and publishing all manner of speculative and theoreti-j cal works about '‘Klevations in Canada," Hawaiian Volcanoes," “Liv ing Oysters,’’ ‘'The. Steel Industry," etc., until the annual cost of the bureau ' has run up from 81015,000 in lsso to s'c’ii.- 2JO for 1 ssi'■. an,11—* 1;.,;11< s oi for iss”, while not a single sheet of the map had, up to the writing of t he report, been published.

It would certainly be the part of wisdom for the government to drop that expensive branch ol the business. TIIK 1*1 IIl,IC SCHOOLS. Yesterday witnessed the last of the losing exercises of the nineteenth annual ession of the publicschoolsof Columbus. ' Hiring the year 1785 pupils have been nrolled and th v bus been an average ittendanec of lg.d) in this institution of learning. This i* an excellent record for ' his hcIiooI when we consider the very dirge number of private schools sutress- ullylimiitgurated in various parts of the city. The expenditures of the school in- eluding the salaries of the teachers and all other expenses for the past year were 817,oss.sti. t if this amount the eitv ap- oropriates $15.Pit, while the pupil* paid SL’.T.H .05, thus making the average cost per student In the public schools about ten dollars, and the individual cost to uirents about two dollars per pupil. These are the facts as shown by the re port of the treasurer. There is hardly an influence of more value to the pnigress of this eitv than the 1 uperior educational advantages offered, j It has brought some of the best citizens | of the eit v here to educate their children, and they have permanently located anil are valuable acquisitions. Once here they lind advantageous avenues for the in vestment of money, anti thus the school causes the city to grow and prosper. ()ne great secret of success in school work is to make it tfie business of the whole people, and to give, every family a per sonal interest in having the best instruc tion for the children. This fact is ap preciated in this city, as is shown by the liberal appropriations made by the city council for eduational purposes. Our schools are made so good that rich and poor meet in them and are educated to gether, and then go out to make their way into the world with common in terests, and all equipped alike for the struggle of life. THE CHOLEKA. Mucli to the; surprise of those who have been close students of the ways of the cholera, that dreaded disease lias not as yet made its appearance in the United States either in sporadic or epidemic form. Last year the most confident pre dictions were made that this season it would certainly cross tlie Atlantic, and in anticipation of a verification of those scientific givings out extraordinary sani tary precautions were adopted. Whether those precautions were of so complete and effective a nature as to liolcl the pes tilence at a distance has not been claim ed, but the fact stands that up to this time there are no indications of a revival of the pledge in Europe, and cer tainly none on this side of the water, for all of which we should he truly thankful. But while thus congratulating ourselves upon this fortunate exemption let it not he forgotten that the cholera is not the only disease we have occasion to dread. There are others, escape from which is largely dependent upon the observance of proper sanitary conditions. In fact, the general health is dependent upon them, therefore it becomes all to take part in the efforts made by the health authorities for public protection against disease. Still another outsider has a pleasant word for Mr. Grimes, and we cheerfully take from the aright and nee-.v c aumns of the Russell Regis ter the follow,ng : * /tin Columbus any use for a federal building, except for post office purposes? We tllfllk it has , ml, therefore, is outside I he reasons ptoperly as signed by tlic president for vetoing some of these ippropriattons. We have always thought that omebody was to blame In the matter of this Co- umbus building or it would have been dom any way, and we hope will. If Tom will ,1-ill fix things; otherwise, they may ae expects the mountain to come to Mahomet " If the ladies and our neighbors across the l iver could vote Tom Grimes would find It easy sailing into congri ss. The Indies are always right. The prohibition tight is getting interesting In Iowa. Two of tlie "dry” crowd are in jail fora rioting, and now we see the snectncle of a inuli of drunken men trying to lynch them. A little moderation on both sides is needed. Many fhnny things creep into tlie columns of some papers, but the New York Sun rather takes the load when it speaks- of tile /hiding of the body of an “unknown man" under the head i f "About People You Know," Miss Lillie Mitchell lias sued the St. Paid Pioneer Press for libel for publishing her allept d portrait, and now we are likely to get the tesli- j niony of experts and a decision IVom the courts ! on the question whether the things so general^ j published in the papers lately are really portraits I or only libels. It is at least a noteworthy coincidence that all the large ilres recently, as at Vancouver, Chicago and Boston, uumbers of human lives have been lost. Advocates of cremation say it is bound to come, but surely not in this form. It might be a good stroke of policy on the part of Senator Logan to say no more about the Hen nepin canal job. If Mr. Gladstone is a grand old man in parlia ment, he is a grander old man on the stump. The New York 'Times has fitted out an expedi tion to make a thorough exploration of our al most unknown territory of Alaska. Lieutenant Sehwatka has been placed in command. Prof. William Libby, jr., professor of physical geo graphy, in Princeton college, will have charge of the scientific work. A determined effort is to be made to find out the secrets of Alaska. The Cincinnati Enquirer says that the Hon. A. M. Keiley, the unfortunate diplomat who was rejected by two courts, will soon be appoint ed one of the assistant secretaries of state. As the anarchists were arraigned for trial the , record of their crime stood about as follows: Seven brave policemen in their graves, sixteen ; lying helpless anil suffering on their beds, and [ nineteen others lame and halt and unable for 1 duty. It is a bad record to face in the presence of ' an honest jury of twelve men.

JAMES F. BABCOCK, State Assayer of Massachusetts. Boston, Mass., Aug. 14,1884. THINGS HKTTIMI HIXKI1. Tiling* are getting rather mixed so far as the congressional race in the fourth district with reference to Colonel Harris’ race is concerned. The Lnttrange lte- porter yesterday contains the following: “We are authorized to announce that Hon. Henry K. Harris is not a candidate for the con gressional nomination for this district.” Hut the following from the Meriwether Vindicator seems to question the author ity of the Reporter: “If you hear any rumors that Colonel Harris has forbidden his friends to use his name for con gress, just put it down that some enemy lias been sowing tares while the husbandmen slept. The friends of a man are the parties to whom he confides his intentions. The friends of Colonel Harris have received no authority to take him out of the race. He is in the hands of his friends let them take care of him.” Tlu* following from tin* same issue of the Vindicator wraps Colonel Ahraham rather hard, ns he is responsible for the sentence in quotations i t*A party of gentlemen met in in a neighbor ing town and decided that Colonel Harris ought j not to run for congress and straightway it was announced that by ‘authority we say for Colonel Harris he is not a candidate for congress.' Yes. by authority of these gentlemen. The friends of Colonel 11 arris recognize no such authority. Let no one be deceived.” As Colonel Harris has made Lafirauev his political headquartes for the past several years, people in this section are somewhat at a loss to understand the sit uation. Colonel Abraham is regarded as a gentleman w ho would not publish such a statement without authority to do so. and if Colonel Harris has the* proper regard lbr his friends, he could very easily settle the whole matter in halt a dozen words.

CHARLES o. SHERIDAN. This gentleman, tho senior member of he firm of Sheridan Bros., fresco arti-t- md decorators, of Atlanta, (fa., is M gcn- >ine yankt-c by birth, but n southerner hv ■hoice and adoption. Born in the imn- an city of Providence, it. I., 31 years ago it an early age he turned his attentioTto irt. He is by nature an artist, and his years of study and tuition in eastern cities have developed him into one of the fore- nost young decorators of ids time. Some veavs ago lie came soutli to decorate the nterior of the Church of the Imaculnto Conception, at Atlanta, and, liking the people and climate, determined to locate •outli of Mason and Dixon’s line. Since then lie has been joined by his brothers, F. K. and George, and churches and line lwellings in every principal city of the -:outh attest their ability, energy and en terprise. “My system,” said Mr. Sheridan during i recent conversation, “had been for some .ime GRADI’AI.I.Y RUNNING DOWN, “I was not sick, in a general sense of ’he word, but my physical strength was feeling the severe strain I had been for years putting upon it in the active men tal labor necessary in the pursuit of my avocation. While I have not what is termed a delicate constitution, I am l,y no means a robust fellow, and have what might lie called the ‘New England mold,’ physically. For some time past I had been losing vigor, when my attention was called to Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure as a tonic and strengthener of the sys tem. 1 began using it about four weeks ago and since that timehavegained 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 the market to-day.” JUDGE THOMAS PULI.UM, now in his three score and ten years, and one of the most prominent men in Geor gia, horn and raised near Union Springs, Ala., where he amassed quite a fortune by strict integrity and honesty, and in later vears connected with the wholesale drug house of Pemberton, Pnlltim <$r 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 with 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 the way of permanent relief. I was induced to try Hunnicutt’s Rheumatic Cure a short time «go, 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 her joints lias disappeared, and the disease has been, I verily believe, eradicated from her system. She is still using the medicine as a precautionary measure, and her general good health is being restored by it. i can honestly and fearlessly recommend Hunnicutt’s Rheu matic Cure as the best medicine for rheu matism and the blood upon the market.” For sale by wholesale and retail drug gists everywhere.
