little adtlitioral news with regard t«

Timsesteehum 1 Atlanta Capitol says edi
torially :
“The Columbus Enquirhr-Hun is the neatest,
handsomest paper by all odds printed in the stale
of Georgia or the south."
Snell testimony is eneounii'inu as it
carries witli it the force of otic of the
most interesting ami enter|>risinvr dailies
in the state. I.ontr live the Capitol to
“hew to the line, let the chips fall where
they may.”

by the traie-ai'tion.
Now, we do not iptestion the finds as
stated by Mr. ('handlers, but we sutimit
that it is not fair eompetition nor any
part of eomiretitioii to fail to tell the
whole truth in the matter. Mr. Cham-
liors may li
vaneed price tint i- it not reasonatile to
presume llie price of cotton had also ad
vanced, and that tire day lie sold it in
Montgomery it would have brought the
same price in Columbus'.’ We presume the
public will hardly he gulled hy uny such
statement. The rate-of freight are hotter
from ( nlmnhus than from Montgomery
in eonsei|Uenee of water transporta
tion, our warehouse charges are no more
and it costs no more to dray cotton in
Oolumhtis than Montgomery. ()ur facili
ties for storage are inferior to none in the
state. Our hanking facilities are more
than adequate and we have the advan
tages of a compress, which Montgomery
hits not.
We have no objection to Mr. Cham
bers doing all in his power to secure cot
ton for his warehouse, but we submit he
should use legitmate argument. Colum
bus is not excelled by any inland town
in this section ns a cotton market, and
any statement to the contrary cannot he

perverted for the purpose.

i the part of southern members. Such a revolt !
would undoubtedly be led by Oates. In speak

that that was putting really a premium upon !

Before entering into war with Mexico
We suggest for the consideration of the

Ileaders of the ExorntKR-.Si'x have al-
Ihe ready been informed of the appointment
| ' of Matt hews to he recorder of deeds for
. 1 the District of Columbia. The people of
Washington city Mere very much dis
satisfied when I’resident Cleveland llrst
made the nomination of Matthews for
this place. Now their dissatisfaction has
ripened into indignation.
We desire to say in the premises that
this appointment upon the part of Presi
dent Cleveland is an outrage upon the
people of Washington and unworthy of
the president. In all his administration
we can recall no act that compare* with
it in a wanton disregard of all propriety
and as an injustice for which there is no
apology. It is an outrage upon the citi
zens of the District of Columbia, not
because Matthews is a negro, hut
because the ollice of recorder
of deeds is ns much a local otliee in
Washington city as is the clerk of the
superior court in Muscogee county
s a local office here, and the
president has imported Mathews from
Albany, X. Y., when there are
better men for the position in the dis
trict. It was only a few days ago that
it was announced, and impressed upon
the public, that President Cleveland
would appoint no man in this state to
he judge of the I'nited States district
court who is not a resident of the
northern district of Georgia. This was
heralded as one of the results of a reform
inaugurated hy the democratic adminis
tration. The appointment of this ini-
Th ere appears to bean unusual activity this t
summer in the way of foolhardy demonstration. '
Several cranks are feverish to dare the deadly 1
chances of Niagara, and several more want to
try the blunt brutality of a jump from the East
river bridge iu New York. Why should not the i
persons who indulge in these perilous tricks he 1
punished as if for attempted suicide? Because,
it is said, they do not intend suicide. But one of ,
the peculiarities of the law is that it has its own
way of finding out what a man intends, and
never takes the man’s word for it, because the j
man may lie. If a man does an act which nine'
times in ten most obviously and necessarily end i
in death, .he la v, judging his motives hy his acts 1
and not hy his words, will probably assume that j
he intended to kill himself.

Mr. Gladstone’s election expenses were 8950, j
as officially certified hy the sheriff. This fact
does not sustain the opinion generally held of
the great cost of an election in England, but it is
tolerably certain that this is an entirely excep
tional case. The “grand old man,” in such a
case, runs on his record. Men without that kind
of capital must pay their way. But these figures
show the point to which this expenditure can be
reduced.

This appointment, furthermore, is in
direel disrespect to the senate and the

jority. When Matthews was first nomi

IIOI.lt Till'll 110ItsKS.
Our esteemed contemporary, tlie Louis
ville ('ourier-Journal, seems to lie iu ac
cord with the Kstji iiiKU-St x on the Cut
ting alliiir. -We commend to our tire-
eating friends who would like to anchor
Mexico in the middle of tlie Atlantic
ocean, its words of conservatism. Our
contemporary says:
“The Cutting affair seems to have aroused the
jingo spirit to a tumultuous degree in some sec
tions of the country. Patriotism issp'illu' fora
fight, and tire patriot is so anxious for tlie Ameri
can eagle to scream that he is pulling out its tail
feathers with an energy that threatens to disfigure
liberty's bird.
“Patience, patience, belligerent fellow-citizens
Mexico can not run away and hide from us. Stic
is fastened to the spot. And she isn't going to
get anv bigger or stronger yet awhile, she is
a mill' little republic which we can lick uny day
iu iwo snakes of a sheep’s tail. It behooves us
all the more, on that account, to he sure that
slie deserves a thrashing before we give it to her.
"It seems to he a rather difficult matter to get
at the truth of 'll is Cutting business. It appears,
however, that Cutting is something of a blather,
skite amt a good deal of a trickster. It appears,
furt bennore, that his original offense was com
mitted on Mexican soil wtiite he was a resident
of Mexico. For that lie was certainly amenable
to -Mexican law. But oilier complications grew
out ol the ease about which there is by no menus
such certainty, and concerning which there are
contradictory reports. “Kinderquieten down,"
bellicose fellow-citizens, and let us see if we
cun t get at the truth. If American rights have
been infringed through the person of even an
adventurer like Cutting, we are amply able to
avenge ourselves."
to tisp a polite term for it, that tlie presi
dent should take advantage ofthe ad
journment of congress to re-appoint him
when it has been demonstrated so unmis
takably that the appointment is exceed
ingly obnoxious.
It might he argued that Mr. Cleveland
linds warrant for his action in this mat
ter that Matthews was rejected by a re
publican senate "for the reason that it
was had polities to confirm a democratic
negro,” if such were the facts. True the
republican senate could have rejected
him, but the democratic senators rejected
him also. Hence it is no exhibition of
backbone upon the part of the president
to reappoint him.
Viewing the subject front the most
favorable standpoint, we can regard it in
noothcrlight than an outrage perpetrated
upon the people of the District of Colum
bia hy the president of the I'nited States.
Ami that, too. an outrage for which there
is no warrant.

GRIFFIN'S PROSPECTS.
Tlie fit}' Not Standing still, lint Knit) Awnl.i

Griitin News,
We reprint this morning a letter from
Henry R. .chins to the Enquirer-Sun, I
describing the country and cities along the !
Georgia Midland, in which Griffin is
characterized as a “prosperous and once
hopeful city,” but it is prophesied thatstag-
nation and ruin is sure to follow from the
effects of the oivision caused hy the pro
hibition election and contest. That the
writer is not entirely unjustified in this
statement, according to many superficial
appearances, we are willing to admit; but
in reality, lie is altogether mistaken in his
conclusions, as we snail endeavor to show.
While many of our best and most public
spirited citizens voted for prohibition, the
election was not desired at tliis time except
and these few not substantially
with uny public or private
movement or progressive enterprise by
which Griffin has recently been advanced.
Now that the election is over, most of our
citizens are willing to let it he a thing of
the past, and the result of the contest
being already a foregone conclusion, the
whole question is considered as settled for
at least two years to come. While all the
feeling engendered has not yet died out,
the people of Griffin are rapidly becoming
united and harmonious again; and with
the beginning of the busy season the
question of prohibition will cease to be
thought of.
Griffin is not standing still by any means.
On many different streets the noise of the
hammer and saw are heard in the erection
of neat cottages and handsome residences.
On Hill street the last old frame store
houses are being torn down and new ones
of stone or brick erected in their places,
and this process is even going on out as far
as Taylor street. A drive around town re
veals new improvements every day that is
impossible to keep pace with, new build
ings, additions, fresh paint and hand
some concrete on houses that had
not looked respectable for years
before. A compress is only awaiting
the completion of the new railroad before
being pul up. The need of a new hotel is
universally acknowledged, and we predict
that it will not be very long before we
have one that cannot be beat by any town
of like size in Georgia or any neighboring
state. Capital is seeking investment here,
and the increase of taxable wealth in the
last year, as shown by the returns, amounts
to nearly *200.000. The citizens of Griffin
are fully awake to their necessities and
their opportunities, and as sanguine
in regard to the good eti'eets of the Geor
gia Midland as Columbus is; and the mer
chants of the latter place are sadly mis
taken if they think to take much trade
away from our natural territory because of
any apathy or “stagnation" here, from
whatever cause. The progress of Griffin
may be retarded temporarily by untoward
causes, but it cannot be stopped by an is-
NOTHING HIDDEN
THE MANUFACTURERS OF CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING
POWDER HAVE FOR MANY YEARS MADE KNOWN TO THE
PUBLIC ALL THE INGREDIENTS OF THEIR POWDER.
In these suspicious times it is not enough that manufactu*
rers of food preparations base their claims for patronage on
the simple statement that their goods are “ absolutely pure.”
The absolute purity of a poison intensifies the baneful effects
of its improper use. The absolute purity of ammonia, a drug
often used in the manufacture of baking powder and in
some of the powders most largely advertised, greatly
increases the force of the objection mnde by the most
eminent scientists of our day to the use of ammonia in food.
This protest of the medical and chemical professions is due
to the fact that ammonia—a product of decomposition—
when taken into the stomach with our daily meals is
exceedingly injurious.
Hence the public should insist upon knowing what all food
compounds contain and ALL that they contain. Let the
edict go forth that no article intended for use in the prepa
ration of our daily bread shall receive public support unless
the manufacturers' formula be published. Then shall we have
less imposition practiced upon a confiding public, and as a
result less injury to the public health.
Cleveland’s Superior Baking Powder is made only of strictly
pure Grape Cream of Tartar, Bicarbonate of Soda, and a little
wheat flour, the latter to preserve the strength of the powder;
nothing else whatever. CLEVELAND BROTHERS,
