Tub vote which defeuta Sir Charles Pilke in not to bo taken ns altogether in opposition to home rule. A part of it, at least, represents n protest against the gross profligacy published against the candidate. ___________ It is beginning to look as if the high priest of the tariff reformers in Washing ton is beginning to understand that a re duction of import duties does not neces sarily mean a reduction of revenue, but might in point of fact augment the reve nue. Well, certainly there’s hopeful progress in that. Whose victory it is is hard to tell; but whether Salisbury's or Harrington's, or Chamberlain’s or Goschen’s, or Bright's or Randolph Churchill’s, what will he do with it? Gladstone’s government is knocked down, b^t who among them all can put up a government in its place; that is, a government that will have logs to stand on ? There are a largo mass of voters—those who do not belong to the political clubs, and who are not running after ollice— who do a great deal of thinking, and vote as they think. This class will make futile the efforts of tlu* esteemed republi can contemporaries who are now indus triously engaged in trying to substitute the “veto boomerang’’ for the “bloody shirt” dead issue. Mt must he another “greatest effort of liis life” that prompts Mr. Blaine to go down to Bar Harbor and begin, on the 2Ktli of June, the writing of a speech which is to “open the campaign in Maine” some time next August, and to put Mr. Blaine more openly in the posi tion of his party’s candidate for 'KH, “whether or no.” It is a very elaborate loading, but Mr. Blaine’s gun sometimes does more excecution at the breech than at.the muzzle. The bill against Mormon polygamy should not he permitted to drop out of sight. The iniquitous system of plural marriage, as it has developed in Utah, is the foulest blot that pollutes our soil. It makes the United States the laughing stock of all civilized, nations. It is a disloyal people by whom it is upheld— a people who set the laws and the flag of the country at defiance. The house of representatives should at once pass the bill to stamp out the licentious mon ster. It will be sustained by the unani mous voice of the American people. "WE. THE PKOPI.K.” A convention of Ohio editors met in Columbus on Thursday last and adopted a resolution condemning the action of the United States senate, through its committee on privileges and elections, in not ordering an investigation of tlie methods of Senator Payne’s election. People can no longer laugh at the three Condon tailors of Toolev street, who met and resolved “that we, the people.” The idea of this baker’s dozen of Ohio repub lican editors attempting to dictate to the senateofthe United States is rendered all the more ludicrous by the fact that they are in dead-earnest and really at tach weight to their action's. When this congregation of wind bags had solemnly assembled they, at least, showed an ap preciation of the litness of things by mak ing Editor Halstead the chairman of the committee on resolutions. When it comes to making resolves Halstead is a trained expert. But in keeping them, or putting them into execution, lie is not so active. He was good timber out of which to hew a chairman for such a commit lee. If the idiots and asses of all ages and countries could meet in a common con vention, Murat Halstead's pre-eminence in their line of business would entitle him to take the chair. He ought to feel at home in his present position. But this farce in Columbus, is as contemptible as. it is ridiculous. Let a sot sit in judgment on sober men; and let the devil [irate about redemption; but deliver us from the spectacle of republican Ohio protest ing against a fraudulent election, while her bosom still nourishes and her M ing still covers in maternal affection that political canker worm, that moral mala droit, Rutherford B. Hayes, whose name lias been rendered imperishable, because, like some foul fly caught in amber, it has been literally embalmed in fraud. kCliio republicans need some of that ■harity which begins at home and re- Tuains where it begins. THE ROW AS COI’STY *AS. Kentucky is a land of blue grass and guns. Many acres of this blue grass in Rowan county is growing over (he graves of murdered men. The Rowan county man’s conception ot the “life, liberty and pursuit of happi ness”, guaranteed by the constitution, is to make an occasional target of a neigh bor m hose opinion does not coincide with bis own. And sometimes whole families indulge in miniature wars with each other until one side ortho other has been set up in the “requieseat in pace.” business. When the typical Rowanian Amis an acquaintance who differs from him on any matter he at once concludes that his acquaintance is green—green enough to sprout. So he kills him and plants him. A Kentuckian in describing an encounter between two couples of brothers recently, said : “It was a glori ous sight. They lit and lit and fit.” Only one survived—another ease of the survival of the fittest. Rowan county is the darkest and bloodiest ground in Kentucky. When they have a picnic there they take along a special wagon to bring home the wounded, and they cord up the corpses like steamboat wood. As a location for the orphan asylum business Itowan county has no superior. Persons desir ing to engage in this industry should eor- nespond with the commissioners of Rowan county before locating else where. Rowan county is in a turmoil now, and if there is not too much rain and east wind the orphan harvest will be the biggest, gathered since the election of 72. The people of Rowan county re cently shot the sheriff, and are now pop ping merrily away at each ot er until his successor can be chosen. There is no scramble for tlm oliico ; but each citizen quietly expresses his opinion, saying that his neighbor over the way has a small family and a snug fortune to leave them, and his long service to the party de mands his promotion to tlio office. Rowan county is one place where the successful candidate for sheriff tells the truth when he says he is going to sacri fice himself for the good of his party. They hardly ever miss doing it if they hold office during the picnic sea son. When a Rowan county man takes a notion to [mint a [link color over his town, several of his neighbors are very apt to ho knocking at the door of the happy hunting ground by the time night comes. But they are really good people at heart. This fondness of their’s for fune rals is just their way. They learned it from their ancestors, and it would be difficult now for them to take an interest in anything else. I When a Rowanian goes to weep at the graves of his fathers and takes you along with him, if lie comes to one who died of disease or by accident, he apologizes for his dead progenitor and gives you to understand that the old man didn’t go to do it, and lias long since repented of it. This charity of their’s for the dead is very touching. Tourists should not fail to take in Rowan county, Kentucky. It is a fine country to travel through—in a bomb-proof carriage at night. THE CHATTAHOOCHEE IMPROVEMENTS. Our telegraphic dispatches yesterday morning gave the information that Sena- j tor Joseph K. Brown had succeeded in | preventing the sealing down of the ap propriation for the Chattahoochee river, j Yesterday afternoon the board of trade ! met and acknowledged the obligations of this city ami section for the interest Mr. | Brown has manifested and voted him I thanks. Senator Brown is a practical business j nnm and has contracted the lmbit of doing tilings in a business way. The im provement of harbors is admitted as a | duty of the general government. The j must rigid constructionists agree that the i streams which form the boundaries of states and penetrate into the heart of the country, where they are important arteries of trade and commerce, come within the definition of “inland seas" and are legitimate objects of government supervision. It was a recognition of this fact that in duced Senator Brown to use' his influence in behalf of the Chattahoochee appro priation which was already too small. In sealing the appropriations, it was right and ['Coper that the less important should he the ones from which to cut down the amounts. There is hardly a stream in thesouth.taking the length into consider ation, that is of so much importance to so large a scope of country, and where gov ernment appropriations have had such beneficial results. It is rigid that public money should be used for the advance ment of the people, and our congressmen cannot better employ their influence than adding to the facilities of our water ways. The Chattahoochee river lias been the object of government patronage since 1874, w hen an appropriation of $15,000 was made. Small appropriations have been annually since that time, but they have been nothing like the importance demanded. Even with a meagre appro priation the stream has been vastly im proved. Ask any steainBoatman, whose business it is to know, and lie will so state. Woolfolk’s bar, once such a draw back, has disappeared, other shoals and sandbanks are gone. Boats ply the river the year round and the river business of Columbus alone has increased from a few thousand to millions of dollars annually. Every place on the stream lias had a large trade. Prior to the time the government improvements be„an Columbus received from three to eight thousand bales of cotton fVom that sotiroi. Since they begun the amount has in creased. The annual receipts of cottoi. now average more than twenty thousam hales. Oty people are grateful to Senatoi Brown for the interest he has taken ii, this matter, ns they desire to seetm everything that will advance the interest of Columbus. Fifty million dollars have been added to the tax valuation of New York city during the year. This is probably les- tban the actual increase in value, for the city tax board never assesses at full value. The increase represents over thirty-flvi million dollars of real estate an.l nearly fifteen million dollars in personal proper ty. The latter is greatly under-valued, heingonly one-seventh of the total assess ment for taxation. IIAI.E AN HOt It WITH EDITORS. Wliaf They Have to Say and Their Quaint Way ot Uxpreixlny It—A Few Note# by the Wayside. The Savannah Times says: The president’s salary is paid him in monthly installments--$5,166.66 on the last of each month. The constitution only allows him a monthly salary of $-1,166.60, or $50,000 a year. Is it possible that Grover is charging extra for his vetoes? Oi ls the Savannah Times in need of an arithmetic editor? The Times has the floor. Sam Jones’ strictures upon base ball do not seem to have caused any cluo to disband.—[Sun day Telegram. That is all the Telegram knows about it. Some- thing has played sad havoc among the clubs of the southern league,. Two of them have already succumbed to the inevitable. As Sam Jones is about as heavy on base ball as anybody else, why not give him the credit of it ? By the way, it is hoped that the impressive sayings of Mr. Jones will sink sufficiently deep into the hearts of our people that they will not buy the Dazzled out franchise of the Augusta club. Sam Randall’s democracy is of the right kind.— Evening Star. It occurs to us that it would be just as well for the Sun to acquire some democracy itself, before setting up as a judge of the democracy. The Sun might endeavor to prove that Randall’s de mocracy is good enough for it, but what would Mr. Randall say about that? If he didn’t take it as a reflection on hts political character, he is no democrat. Colonel Henry R. Harris reached home last Friday afternoon on a hurried visit. He is in ex cellent health and ready to serve his constituents in the fiftieth congress if the people of the fourth district desire his continuance in congress. He is not a professional nor chronic office-seeker, hut, as we have before stated, “emphatically in the hands of his friends.” He has no desire to antagonize any one, his visit home being one of purely private business character. He makes no canvass, nor lias he any desire to do so, as he re mained at home only until Tuesday morning, when lie left for Washington.—Meriwether Vin dicator. As the Vindicator speaks by the book, we may understand that Colonel Harris will not seek a re- election by a canvass, but is a candidate just the same. He does not wish to take chances before the people, but would like to be his own suc cessor. If he receives a majority of votes in the convention he ought to be. Hon. T. W. Grimes, however, will be the next representative in the fourth. A London liberal paper says: Randolph Churchill’s physician orders him to rest up for a while and forego all further active participation in the campaign. That part of Randolph which politeness com pels us to call brains seems to tire out pretty soon. Sis Randolph lias been a lame figure in the cam paign, and his lameness has not been feigned, i He is badly crippled—under the hat. In trying to get a Chicago jury to try the an- I archists, the court sitting in the case might j shorten the work by asking the talesmen straight out, “Would you find a verdict against these j men if there was evidence to justify it?” And if | they answer “yes,” then refuse to take them. I That's about wlnvt the examination amounts to. There are courts (not in Chicagoi which would J soon put an end to the nonsense. The republicans in congress are generally very | anxious to take money out of the treasury to pay pensions, but when it is proposed to put some in | for that purpose they filibuster. They would like ! to deplete the treasury and charge it to the waste- i fulness of the democrats. ) If congress is going to fight it out all summer, the country ought to be informed as to what line ' the fight is to go on —whether pensions, or senate j dignity and deportment, or tariff, or oleomarga- i rine, and if it is to be “oleo,” whether the “g” in margarine is to be pronounced hard or soft | I There are some indications that Senator Bill Mahone, of Virginia, is still trying to discover who struck him. He is politically dead, but he would like to know why. Editor Jones wrote a private letter to Presi dent Cleveland. It has been stolen and is in the hands of the editor’s enemies in Jacksonville, who are verbally retailing its contents to the great entertainment of the public, and to the dis may of Mr. Jones. He says he will “explain.” No doubt the “explanation” will be entertaining on its OA’ii hook. An Iowa man has sued for the possession of money paid to a fortune-teller. The court de cided against him. The court was wrong. There is a disposition everywhere to ridicule people who are cheated through their own stupidity. But laws for the protection of such people are as necessary as asylums for the insane. A man who willingly parts with his money to a fortune-teller should not be without the protection of law sim ply because he acts foolishly. Ex-Gov. Moses, of South Carolina, is pining and failing fast in the Massachusetts peniten tiary. He is the only instance in American his- ! tory w! • e an ex-governor became a common convict Men often climb half-way up the ladder and stay there; but it is seldom that they fall I half-way down and stop short of tlie bottom. At j thirty Moses was deemed the most brilliant and ! promising man in South Carolina. Now, at fifty, he has not even, like Lazarus, a dog-friend to lick i his sores. One is not more forcibly reminded of the re volving seasons than by the annual bobbing up of the pert paragrapher with his rehabilitated but tottering and toothless joke on the old maid. A man who will cast a slur at a woman simply because she is old and unmarried, is a being whom we must decline to dignify by calling him a brute. It is better to be laughed at because you are not married than not to be able to laugh be cause you are married. There is not a more lovable being on earth than an unmarried wo man who makes lier way safely through a taint touching world, without support of hus band or brother, and wiio retains in her posses sion a well-regulated mind, a disposition to enjoy simple pleasures and a fortitude to support in evitable pains and sympathy with the suffering of others. Let the old maids alone, gentlemen. They are too good to be used in such connec tions. CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER DOES NOT CONTAIN LIME, AMMONIA, OR ALUM. Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, manufactured by Cleveland' Brothers, Albany, N. Y., is absolutely pure and wholesome. It is made only of strictly pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a small portion of wheat flour, and does not contain Ammonia, Alum, Lime, or any adulteration whatever. The Cream of Tartar is refined by a new process which frees it entirely from lime and every impurity, and is obtained in the pure crystals and ground in their own factory; the Bicarbonate of Soda is prepared expressly for them ; and to ensure uniform and absolute purity of their baking powder all the ingredients are subjected to searching chemical analyses and none used unless proved to be perfectly pure. In confirmation of the above the able and reliable chemists of the New York Produce Exchange report as follows : “We are analyzing all the Cream of Tartar used in the manu facture of Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder, and we hereby certify that it is practically chemically pure—testing as high as 99.95 per cent, and not less than 99.50 per cent. “From a hygienic point of view we regard Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder as the ideal baking powder, composed as it is of pure Grape Cream of Tartar and pure Bicarbonate of Soda. “ STILLWELL & GLADDING, “Chemists to the N.
