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.
