It looks ns though members of con
gress hnd suceeeileil in defeating needed
appropriations for rivers and harbors by
their zeal in voting ntviiy money to fix
up the brooks and other water courses
of their constituents as a matter of per
sonal accommodation. It is n great pity
that needed work must be neglected lie-
cause of the improvidence and jobbery
attending every river and lmrbor bill,
but it is better to have it so for u year or
two than to goon in the old way. When
the members have hungered for a year,
perhaps they may consent to adopt sonic
general plan of internal improvements,
ruling out the petty jobs, besides giving
the president power to veto the items of
an appropriation. Then ‘here would be
a good chance of getting a sensible and
useful r'ver and harbor hill passed at
each session.
A dead body recently discovered is
supposed to be that of the missing an
archist murderer who threw the deadly
bomb in the Chicago slaughter of the
police. It will not do to be too sure of
that, for feigned suicide is one of the
tricks of malefactors to cover tlieire scape.
Still it is not unlikely that this murderer
killed himself to get rid of the horrors,
his hideous crime must have caused. We
read this of the first recorded murderer:
“Now art thou cursed front the earth,
which hath opened her mouth to receive
thy brother’s blood from thy hand.”
* * * “A fugitive and a vagabond
slialt thou be in theearth.” * * * And
against that judgment the murderer
cried, “My punishment is greater than I
can bear.” * * * “I shall he a fugitive
and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall
come to pass that every one that lindeth
roe shall slay me.” Such is the fate of
such transgressors.
John lirsKix is now declared, on the
authority of some remarks by his physi
cian, to be insane for the fifth time. Per
haps this is the kind of insanity that
many others would gladly be infected
with—the power of getting people to at
tend to his remarks on every subject,
however trifling. Beginning with art lie
preached u new and strange doctrine
until he converted hall' of the English j
speaking world to his ideas, lie then
turned to political economy, hul with j
less success, though everybody gladly I
read whatever lie chose to print. In his
latter days he took up the labor ques
tion, on which lie propounded some very
whimsical theories. Last of all, he lias
been publishing autobiographical
sketches of the greatest interest, which
be intersperses with moralizing on every
possible subject. If he is mad there is
certainly method in his madness.
TVHSKU tiOKS HACK.
lion, llenry (i. Turner, the represen
tative in congress from the second Geor
gia district, will he returned to the seat
he has so ably filled for the past six j
years, lie lias been strongly opposed in
the present contest, but the last county j
to select delegates in his district did sol
on Wednesday, and as matters now stand j
the vote in the nominating convention
will lie Turner 20, (merry 12, Mitchell 4,
Jones 2—a total of IIS votes. This assures
his re-nomination for the fiftieth eon-
gress.
The votes which Mr. Turner has thus
far secured demonstrates that he is es
teemed very highly by the voters of the
second district. It furthermore evinces
the .act that the people of that district
are discriminating in their views and
have no disposition to cast aside an able
and worthy official for the mere sake of
change. It is no disparagement of the
other distinguished gentlemen to say
that they preferred one who had often
been weighed and never found wanting
to that of an entirely untried venture in j
a new man. Mr. Turner is one among
the very ablest congressmen in the
Georgia delegation. The experience of
which he is pusseised is worth more to
the people of his district and to the state
than any influence his successor could
possibly bring to bear, however brilliant
and capable he might he.
We have often thought that when the
man and the occasion meet, it is folly to
separate them for purposes selfish or per
sonal. If any district has a superior con
gressman, why retire him simply to give
somebody else a chance? One of the se
crets of the influence and strength of
many of the northern congressmen lies
in the fact that they have lonjj experi
ence combined with the ability they pos
ies*. Some of the Georgia districts have
learned this or Major Blount and otlier-
would meet with more serious opposi
tion. It is something that the Atlanta
district might learn with benefit to the
slate. lion. W. ('. Oates, of the third
Alabama district, is another conspicuous
illustration. When u district gets a good
congressman, 1i ought to keep him.
KIHHT MONTHS ok cosnitKss.
Conforming to the general disposition
to speak only what is good of the dead,
our esteemed contemporary, the Phila
delphia Ledger, N constrained to believe
I to he the reason why newspaper* are
•training courtesy to speak well of the
congress that has just passed away. There
; may ha truth in this. As the Ledger
sins, (hat charitable and Christian tein-
I per is very cornua ndable, but is not al
ways lo he indulged in. We would be
very glad lo join in the eulogistic vein if
| there was anything like a fair show of
doing it without a breach of truth and
I propriety ; but there is not. The fact is
| the proceedings of the present session of
| congress, or its omissions to proceed,
deserve censure, its record is in large
part a record of time wasted.
Here we are in August, bssii, nearly eight
I months from the first Monday of De
cember, lss.'i, on which the session begun,
and the last day found the two houses
hard pressed by work that should have
been completed weeks ago, some of it
months ago, and none of which should
have been in an unfinished or crude con
dition'at that time. There was the same
drive, confusion and absolute lack of
knowledge by members of what was
being done in those closing days as if the
whole business had been crowded into
three months, as it is during a “short”
session. This is 11 it* “long” session in all
ways; yet, notwithstanding the length of
the term since the session opened, lack
of time for mature or careful examina
tion was at that hour allowing legislation
to go through that ought to have been
stopped, and it cast aside some that ought
to be enacted. Beyond all doubt the
legislative, executive and judicial bill
contains one senate amendment which
should not have been there, the presence
of which kept the bill in abeyance for
many days at a loss to the treasury of
several thousand dollars a day, but which
the house, because of sheer lack of time,
had to permit to pass rather than risk
loss of the whole bill and the nuisance
of an extra session. In another instance
one of the large appropriation hills came
back from the senate loaded down with
two hundred and forty odd amendments,
which added three millions of dollars to
an alread heavy bill of more than twenty
millions. The house lmd no knowledge
of the reasons for these heavy amend
ments; it was forced to go through
the long catalogue, summing up
millions at a hop, skip and jump, and
they were ultimately sent to a conference
committee almost in mass in order that
the house committee *of appropriations
(and through it the^houae) might get the
Information by which the senate was in
fluenced in making these enormous addi
tions.
These are but two specimens of many
such, and a congress of which such things
are true cannot expect in the dying
hours of a wasted session to be dealt
with on the principle of saving nothing
but what is good of the dead. While the
house of representatives has been ex
ceedingly wasteful of time, the senate
lias been very extravagant in its votes of
money, as has been exemplified on its
amendments to appropriation hills. The
senate lias also been wasteful of time, for,
while it lias not been bothered much
with Morrison's movemuits for changes
in the rules, abortive tariff experiments,
eto., it was afflicted for awfiilo with Ed
munds eaueusses, resolutions and tactics
in an endeavor to head off the president
in the matter of nominations and ap
pointments to office. These took up a
great deal of time, and ended in nothing,
just as predicted they would. Both sen
ate and house are also to blame for much
loose and censurable special pension legis
lation.
The fair, square verdict must be that it
is a session which, outside the appropria
tion hills, has but a beggarly exhibit of
work to show for its eight months in
Washington.
HUES (IN ITI.lit X.
The editor of (lie Democratic Messen
ger in Freemont, Ohio,on hearing of Mr.
Tilden’s death sent a note to R. I!. Hayes
requesting an interview in regard to Mr.
Tilden. The request was denied. Sub
sequently the editor of the Messenger re
ceived a note from thenian Hayes, which
rend as follows:
"Your request for an interview on the death of
Mr. TiUleu was declined in accordance with my
uniform habit on the subject of interview. I wish,
however, to say that there has been nothing in
the relation of Mr. Tilden and myself which
would prevent me from sharing in the sentiments
and manifestations which are natural and fitting
on the death of a political leader and statesman
so able and distinguished. Sincerely,
‘‘R. B. Hayes."
This note would entitle Mr. Hayes to a
front rank among humorists if it were
not for its nauseous environments. We
cannot regard t lie note as facetious, for it
was not intended to be; and besides
such a construction of it would present
the ghoulish spectacle of the king'thief
of the continent cracking a joke over the.
coffin of a man whose treasure he had
filched.
One is almost tempted to be sorry for
this clucking, wheedling creature who
moves about with the semblance of a
man, who is nominally an ex-occupant
I of the highest office on earth, and who
cannot enter Hermvil without someone
instinctively looking or listening for the
invisible convict chains with which tin-
mental law of association seem-
to shackle him. and which he
escaped by the grace of fraud rather
than the decrees of justice. Going as lie
does, unwhipt of justice, and seott free oi
the imprisonment and stripes lie so justly
merits, he cannot and does not escape the
contumely and contempt of a great
nation, which grows sicker each year of
his presence as a walking advertisement
of the only successful robbery of the
same magnitude that ever went unpun
ished in the wnole history of the race of
man. There is something about (lie
uniqueness of this man’s infamy, in
which the pitiable and the execrable are
so colorlessly blended that it must
excite Hie eoimul.-emtion of all ordinary
criminals. He i- Hie representative and
the odium-bearer of the foulest and most
gigantic piece oftliievery <*i record, with
out being able to attach to himself any
of the morbid sentiment of heroism
which is the natural reward of a leader
in every deed of infamy that assumes
colossal proportions. For while the deed
was being committed he posed as a figure
head instead of a fighter. He ran no
risk, bflre no brunt, laid no plan. He was
the dumb tool, the mud-scoop upon
whom the more intelligent and nervy
criminals played like an operator upon
the dangling limbs of a manikin, llis
personality was submerged during the
action itself; it reappears and survives
in the memory of its turpitude. His
character has become a moral mummy
which .history has embalmed in its own
infamy to be gazed upon as an abnormal
freak, criticized without compunction
and jeered at by coming and going gen
erations forever. No man was ever
cursed by exactly the sun e conspicuous
ness in the public eye, and any sensitive
nature in the same predicament would
contemplate death as a welcome escape.
And it is not too much to say that when
this man shall have passed off the stage of
action the American people will breathe
freer, as if the contaminating exuding*
of some pestilential leper had been sud
denly bottled up in the grave.
In view of all this, it niust, we say>
appeal to the sense of the ludicrous,
wherever it exists in men, to read that
this entity, this being, R. B. Haves, has
risen to the surface of the body politic to
remark that nothing exists in the rela
tions between Mr. Tilden and himself
which would prevent his sharing in the
“sentiments and manifestations that are
befitting on the death of so able and dis
tinguished a statesman.” It would have
been interesting to have heard from Mr.
Tilden on the relations between the two,
if it were not that it would have been an
insult, to mention this poor worm’s name
in that great man’s presence. He • never
alluded to It. B. Hayes. No Numidian
lion, shaggy and terrible, ever
eyed the mangy and shiver
ing mouse that crept into his cage
for crumbs, with less concern than the
great commoner at Graystone contem
plated iiis tiny-souled usurper. The dif
ference between their personalities was,
in a faint sense, like the difference be
tween the Hymalaya range and a hole in
the ground.. It bordered on the infinite,
In one particular only can asemblnnce be
traced, and that is one of locality rather
than likeness. They have both taken
their stand like statues in the. pantheon
of history—not side by side, but opposite
—there to remain immovable while the
years go grinding on. It is nnneepessary
to name'them in declaring that one will
elicit the admiration and■ the other the
execration of the ages.
Of a truth, outraged justice is a Titanic
enemy. “It walks with a leaden heel,
hut it strikes with an iron hand.” It is
the stone upon which the nations crack
their nuts of contention. “Whosoever
stumbleth upon this stone shall be
broken ; but upon whosoever this stone
shall fall, it will grind him to powder.”
It has fallen upon Rutherford II. Hayes,
of Ohio.
II >Yns Not Humorous.
(me of the best editorials we have read fora
long time is the Columbus Enijoikek-Sus’s
article on the Atlanta Constitution’s wood-cuts
of the democratic nominees on the state ticket.—
Americas Recorder.
It is bad to he laughed at and called humorous
while we are trying to reform the Constitution
and make it swear off from the wood-cut habit.
The Recorder should not decry our missionary
work. It may become a victim to the wood-cut
appotite itself some day. Besides, alluding to an
editorial of ours as funny, may get us into
trouble. Six months ago the editor of the 'Lump
kin Independent announced his intention of kill
ing the editor of the Enquirek-Sun the first
time he wrote a humorous arti.de. Since then
we have been rather nervous about writing up
obituaries, misfortunes and catastrophes in the
editorial column. We know his taste. But if we
vere to write an article intended to be humorous
and the editor of the Lumpkin Independent were
to pronounce it ib nny, we wouldn’t care to live
any longer.
A Chicago Inventor claims to have built an en
gine which “does away with the objectionable
crank and its accompanying dead-centers.”—Ex
change.
He ought to have had it working in Washing
ton City during the past eight months. Any
thing that will do away with cranks and dead-
centers ought to be pul to work about the eapitol,
no matter what it costs.
Senator Cockrell has introduced a bill in
congress “to compel army officers to support
their families.” A bill to compel congressmen to
earu their salaries would seem to follow some
where in this line of reform.
Attorney-General Garland is absent and
Col. Lamont is sick, but the mother-in-law of the
government is on deck now, and the ship of state
is moving on very comfortably, thank you.
Iowa being in the full enjoyment of a new reg
istration law, her voters will have to register
agaiu.
Delicious Food, HealthfUlness and Economy.
CLEVELAND’S
BAKING POWDER
Manufactured by Cleveland Brothers, Albany, N. Y., is tbs
PUREST STRONGEST, MOST HEALTHFUL, and will always
be found THE MOST RELIABLE AND MOST ECONOMICAL
preparation ever produced for making most delicious, light, white,
sweet and healthful biscuits, cakes, pastry, puddings, &c., and has
met with unprecedented success wherever introduced during the
past fifteen years.
The public have a right to know what they are using as
food. Anything that so vitally affects the health of the family
as the daily bread we eat should be free from any suspicion
of taint, and housekeepers should demand that manufacturers
plainly state all the ingredients of compounds that are used in
i the preparation of our daily diet. Do not use baking powders
I whose manufacturers wholly or partly 'withhold from the public
a knowledge of the ingredients from which they are made.
CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER is made only
of purest Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a
little wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder.
Nothing else, whatever is used in its manufacture.
New York, July 11, 1884.
In analyzing samples of baking powder purchased by myself of a
number of grocers in New York City, I find that CLEVELAND S
SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER contains only pure Grape
Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a small portion of flour.

The old phantom ship goes down, loaded with old charge books and ledgers, and old fogy ideas

The missile fired into her was a large rolling stone, and the last words heard from the captain were, I
‘‘Gray, please don’t move up town." All the.small fish can do is to murmur. In getting up this re
action in business the public will notice we did not get up the big rush to the Trade Palace by
making a run on cheap cotton goods, but hit the trade right with fine Wool and Linen Goods, so as

for the same money. Our object is to establish the one price system, not ten prices. So as the pilot
steers clear of the rocks, so will he whose price is bent on success avoid maelstroms of high prices,
which have swept whole generations of master minds from affluence to beggary, from greatness anil
grandeur to the oblivion of the grave.
