They did, hut the people of Harris county have about persuaded the Ham ilton Journal that it was mistaken. If there had been less trillin'.' and fool ing with the Chicago hake Shore strikers’ mob at first, it would require less energy and expense for its suppression at last. All the authorities out there—state, county and city—have again demon strated what ineapahles they are. There have been forty-nine supreme' court judges, seven of them chief justices, but each of them having, practically, the same authority. There is no other tri bunal on earth that can compare with it in jurisdiction. Any law passed by con gress can he brought before it for inter pretation and test of validity, and him its decision there can be no appeal. “All ortlie republican railway mail clerks have to walk the plank. This is Postmaster-General Vilas’idea of civil service." Tliis idea is suggested to the Cincinnati Times-Ktar from the fact that a large bunch of them was bounced the other day for entering into a conspiracy to take charge of the railway mail service. Mr. Vilas preferred to have charge of it himself. But why should not republi can railway mail clerks walk the plank? What are we here for if not to get the benefit of the spoils? This is a demo cratic administration. Remorse for his ill-treatment of his wife, and shame because of his inability to make good 11is promise to a depraved woman, are the causes assigned for the suicide in I’ittshuig of a commercial man fifty years old. Such conflicting and utterly illogical causes of influences very often go together. This man was not ashamed to ill-treat his wife, and had no remorse on that account until he expe rienced the other shame of being unable to fulfill his promise to a harlot. Then even in his manner and place of killing himself he added to the humiliation of the-wile whom he had already treated so badly the shame and disgrace of taking his life in a house of had repute. Sensi bilities of the kind that man possessed might as well go unnamed. They are affected, or the more he has of them the worse man he is. TIIE ltlSI.NKSS MU UTON. The conclusion that one must form from a careful reading of the commercial journals of the country is that alfair.- are drifting hack to the prosperity preceding till' labor troubles. (>ne of these cotem poraries tells ns that improvement in general business is a practical reali ty in almost every civilized country. With America it is undoubtedly more widespread and apparent than j elsewhere, .''till a health and vigor have i lately made thenis'elves felt amoiie Brit ish industries that give positive assur ance of a lasting prosperity to the busi ness interests of (treat Britain. (in the continent, too, recuperation from the de pressing period of over-production and shrinking values grows more marked all the time. The wealth of every export ing country at least must of necessity fluctuate with the material well being and contingent purchas ing power of foreign nations. The pros-j ent activity in our cotton and the higher . prices and better demand for our wool , are largely due to the revival of the manufacturing interests of Fugland and the continent. This universal resumption of the production of commodities is now j just developing after several years of curtailment and absolute loss. Consump- J tion has been the sole source of demand, ) and is likely to be so for some time to come. Tlie l ovements of merchandise with us tlie past week have been moderate, ! but when compared with the same week I own. The former had made the asser tion that Columbus laid done more in the way of progress since the war than ■ my other ettv in this state. The latter held ii]> Atlanta as an illustration of • oiitliern enterprise and progress, and nentionod other cities that he believed had done nine than Columbus to regain the lost fortunes brought about by the war. But the ('olumlnis man was right. Few | people, outside this immediate vicinity, understand to what terrible straits the citizens here were subjected. The year 1 slid brought anything else than promises to the people here, and the business of that dark year opened to Columbus the darkest of any in her history. While all her neighboring cities had large quantities of cotton upon which to build a business, the cotton of this city was in ashes. That year, I Slid, saw eight cot ton mills, sixty thousand cotton hales worth sixty cents a pound, and the industries of the second manufacturing city in the confederacy destroyed bv the torcii of tlie federal army. At that time the town seemed doomed, and the peo ple were almost despairing and hopeless. Meat, for the want of money, was taken for railroad fare ; railroads were broken ; bridgee across the river burned, and there was no employment to he had. Her money gone, her mills swept away, there was nothing left her but a pluck and vim that could not lie put down at the bidding. The Eagle and I’henix managers commenced the rebuilding of their manufactory, others caught hope, and the result is seen now in a flourish ing city with no thanks to foreign men or foreign capital. Can any other city in Georgia, or in Alabama, say as much? True, Atlanta lias prospered and flourished “like a green hay .tree,” and all Columbus re joices in her prosperity, hut how was it brought aboutWere not the citizens of Atlanta aided by northern capital, which flowed in unstintedly? Have not all the other prominent cities of Georgia enjoyed the benefits of foreign capital? Let it not he understood that we are objecting to this—we like it, and would bo glad to see several millions poured into Colum bus at once—but we are merely referring to what lias been done by home enter prise. What are the facts as we now find them? Left almost destitute in 28(15, Columbus now boasts of her ten cotton and woolen in dig, with a capital of nearly two and a half millions, giving employ ment to more than three thousand hands and consuming twenty thousand hales of cotton annually. We have one mill which makes a hundred styles of goods and have five? different institutions mak ing colored goods in the city. The very number oft'oiumlms brands is attractive and an advertisement for the city. We to-day have the only bagging factory in (icorgia, the largest iron works south of Richmond, a large fertilizer factory and oil mill, a barrel factory, tvv o ice factories and a clothing factory. I fere wc have the most won-, derful water power of the state. We lead all southern cities in manufacturing. The I leading colored goods mill of America is a Columbus institution. Our public schools are equal to the best. Late addi tions to both the colored and white de partments give ample facilities for free education to the whole people, Our population lias increased ’>0 per cent, in the last decade, and to-day more im provements are in process than over before known. The city’s debt lias been placed into an easy and comfortable shape, and no creditor loses, nor any tax payer sutlers with onerous levies. We point with pride to vvhut has been done in Columbus as a refutation of the unjust assertion that the people of the south are tlirift less. long addled. The people are not fools. Whether they do or do not “take the papers,” they are very quick to learn, for them selves, the real merits of the situation, and to j nit down a good deal of the ugly talk against the chief magistrate at its real worth. Politician-do not lend them, -o much as they think they do. The only accusation that has any effect —and there is some real cause for this—is the slow way in which ollicial changes have been made. More should he made. The democrats are certainly in right and justice entitled to half of the offices; we should sav, to a little more. But the president moves deliberately; lie exam ines every case—so far as he can, and he does not mean to make unfit appoint- j meats—nor many even that are lit, till j the incumbent's term expires. If the in- cumbent has given officially any cause ' for being removed the removal is j promptly made; hut few are removed for j party reasons, though democrats are se- i looted to succeed them when the time | for which they were appointed expires-SJ j Tho Tnylor County Vote. The vote in Tuylor county last Saturday evinces j in strong terms the popularity of Hon. T. W. | Grimes in that section. The Butler Herald states j that on account of the farmers being very busy | not so largo a vote was polled as might have been I expected. As it was Mr. Grimes received nearly J ten to one votes over tlie higher candidate. i The total of the vote was: Grimes 403, Harris J 41, Freeman 12, while some one complimented I Hon. Henry Persous with a vote. This shows in j what esteem Mr. Gtinres is held in a runty j where he is well known, as Taylor county is in j the judicial circuit of which lie is solicitor- j general. If we are to take tlie Talbotton New Era as ! authority, tile vote for Mr. Grimes will be almost j as strong in Talbot county as it was in Taylor, j We publish an article elsewhere which makes the ) statement that Talbot is practically solid for tile | Muscogee statesman. The enthusiastic manner in which he is supported by the counties in this end of the district almost robs Muscogee of any individual claim, but as he is to lie tlie congress man for the entire district, this is a matter of secondary consideration and we cheerfully sub mit. Nsw York dealers in fireworks say that the money expended for these articles this year will amount to $3,000,000, and nearly half tlie sum will go for firecrackers. These are all imported from China and Jupan, which countries have a monopoly of the article, owing to the cheapness of their labor. In set pieces and great displays by municipalities and on lawns and in gardens, America has the entire field to herself. New York city does almost all this business. There is a greater demand this year for expensive works than at any time since 1876, owing to various cen tennial celebrations. When Senator Logan set s tlie Ohio papers he | will probably "go to his tent and lie down in de- I spair." It is not likely that he will paint with | black and cut off his hair, as the poem says, but those who linger near the tent will hear tue melancholy strains of “Logan’s Lament” come! floating on the breeze—"Who will weep for Logan now?" “There are ten men sent for, for clerkships, to | every one woman," said Civil Service Commi. - I sioner Edgerton on Saturday, "in rooms of the j departments absolutely no requisitions come to j us for women, and very few are demanded any- 1 where. The result is that women stand almost i no show at al! to be appointed.” It is not often that a carpet becomes more j valuable witli use, but one uiut had been used on j the floor of the assay mg room of the branch mint in San Francisco proved a bonanza on being ! burned. A brick of gold and silver weighing be tween nineteen and twenty pounds, and worth $3223, was obtained from tlie ashes. Emiukation from Germany has greatly de- ! creased during the past year. In April, the I mouth in which emigration is generally greatest, the number was only 10,442, as against 20,022 last - year. The development of Germany’s foreign trade lias been remarkable, and undoubtedly tends to produce satisfaction at home. The senate will perpetrate a mistake of large ! dimensions if it pins the Hennepin canal job to tile river and harbor bit. Official Expressions—■“ Royal” found to be the only absolutely pure baking powder.- Governor Hill, of New York (says a reporter of the N. 7 Tribuiu), says: “ I have been astonished lately at tho extent of the adulteration of food. It would seem that every thing we eat is adul terated. * * This adulteration of groceries is becoming a na tional evil—one that wc shall have to adopt severe means to check.” The machinery of the law cannot bo put at work too speedily or too vigorously against this wholesale adulteration of the things we eat. Both the health and the pockets of the people demand protection. There is no article of food in general use more wickedly adul terated than baking powder. The New York State Board of Health has analyzed 84 different brands purchased in the State, and found most of them to contain alum or lime, many to such an extent as to render them seriously objectionable for use in food. The 6ale of adulterated baking powders lias been prohibited by statute in several States. It will be in the interests of tlie public health when their sale is made a misdemeanor everywhere, and the penalties of tlie law are rigidly enforced. The only baking powder yet found by ehemPil analysis to be entirely free from lime and absolutely pure is tho “Royal.” This perfect purity results from the exclusive use of cream of tartar specially refined and prepared by patent processes, which totally remove from it the tartrate of lime and other impurities. The cost of this chemically pure cream of tartar is much greater than any other. The high grade of the Royal Baking Powder has been fully established by official chemists. Prof. Love, who made the analyses of baking powders for tho New York State Board of Health, as well as for the Government, certifies to the purity and wholesomeness of the “ Royal.” Prof. II. A. Mott, late Government chemist, says: “ It is a scientific fact that the Royal Baking Powder is absolutely pure.” Dr. E. II. Bartley, chemist of the Brooklyn Department of Health, says (April 2-1, 1885): “ I have recently analyzed samples of the Royal Baking Powder, purchased by myself in the stores of this city, and find it free from lime in any form.” Prof. McMurtkie, chief chemist U. S. Department of Agri culture, Washington, D. C.,says: “The chemical tests to which I have submitted the Royal Baking Powder prove it perfectly healthful, and free from every deleterious substance.” <‘ f Bread, cake, biscuits, etc., prepared with Royal Baking Powder will be lighter, sweeter, and more wholesome than if made with any other baking powder or leavening agent.

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.
