Tut: Baltinioro Smi says that Senator Sherman’s presidential boom received a violent shock in the Ohio republican conventional Columbus on Wednesday. II was, in fact, a regular Blaine assem blage, and there were prolonged and hearty cheers when the chairman of the state committee, in calling the conven tion to order, declared that “the Ohio re publicans regarded Mr. lilaine as the standard bearer in 1888.” II was ex pected that Senator Sherman would he ehoson as permanent chairman, hut this honor was bestowed on (iov. Forakor, who is a warm friend of the Maine statesman. Indeed, the names of Blaine and Forakor were coupled together in the convention and about the lobbies of the hotels as the coming ticket. It is further said that Mr. Sherman demanded that strong resolutions he adopted de nouncing the election of Senator Payne, niiuI censuring those republican senators who spoke and voted against the investi gation, hut the committee on resolutions 'paid no attention to the demand. And to cap the climax, no reference what ever was made to Senator Sherman in the resolutions, as is customary. It was indeed a cold day for the Ohio senator. KKiNH OK IMH1MTUUI, PROJUSK. It is not known to very many of our ewn citizens, but it is a fact, neverthe less, that real estate in Columbus has ad vanced nearly twenty-five per cent, within the last six months. Our people do not appreciate this, from the fact that there has been no boom in real estate— j it lues been a steady and continuous ini- ! pvovement in demand and stiffening in prices. But few of our people deal in real estate and they care but little out side their own transactions. As it is in real estate, so it is in our i commercial relations. The manufac turers’ warehouses of Columbus were 1 never so Imre of goods, and prices are! firm with an upward tendency. Xor is ' this sign of industrial promise , eoufined to this city. There is | not a more observing journal in this country than the Baltimore Sun. I That paper says that “after a period of j depression intrude a reaction invariably sets in and the wheels of industry are in ! motion again, slowly at first, but with the return of confidence at an accelerated pace. Some indications of improvement j are reported abroad, and there are simi- j tar signs of an approaching change at home. The country is said to be pretty well swept hare of goods, and this of it self will lead to the larger fall demand which our merchants are anticipating. The low rates at which money can he had offer inducements to men of fore sight and energy to undertake new enter prises, looking forward to the increased business that will ensue from the revival of industries which for several years have been in a languishing con dition. And this revival of our in dustries means a larger measure of suutcm among the working classes, that ire now idle in largo numbers, or have been forced to live with the utmost economy. It means also a healthier and more extensive circulation of money among country merehanjs and the shop keeping class in cities, whose sales are largely dependent upon the wages of the working people. Any unsatisfactory condition of business, whether at home or abroad, curtails the purchasing power of the people and intensifies the general depression. Two things have a marked effect upon our own situation. The first is the home demand for our products in iron and steel, and the second the de mand for our breadstuff*, provisions and i cotton abroad. An increased demand 1 for iron and steel implies the exten sion of our system of rail- j roads and greater activity in ! workshops and factories, while a larger ' expert demand for our staples facilitates exchanges, and may be taken as an evi dence that the purchasing power of for eign customers has improved. While the food supply with us is so ample and cheap as to he within the reach of the poorest of our population, the working slasses abroad, in time of trade depres- -ion, are compelled to consume less Hour, less meat, and to buy fewer articles of clothing. This decrease in the use of breadstuffs, provisions and cotton goods lias no doubt during the past year or two helped to lessen our own exports, the de mand for them being so largely governed by the condition of the industries in (treat Britain, France oven to the fireside with him, and it scintilated jby like the song of a bird. He gathered the sun shine as lie came and scattered it as lie went; and the weary and sad sought his company and conversation like sick peo ple seek fountains of healing water. As a preacher ho was learned, logical and terse. At times, he was. powerful, and Germany, and also by the state of' and he achieved a reputation in the min tin' crops in those countries. In Franco and Germany the industrial situ ation is said to he greatly improved, while in Great Britain it is reported to he reviving more slowly. Anotlier reason for the certainty of tho continuation and probable increase of our exports is the decrease in the grain supply of Europe. The shortage may not lie sufficiently great as not to he made up from the sur plus of tlte previous year or from next year’s product, hut in any case the ex ports lienee must he fully equal, if not greater than those of last year. Any change for the better is a hopeful sign, and is ofspecial importance in its hearing upon our industries, and upon the greater activity that will inevitably ensue from a larger demand for those food products which we can so easily supply." IS ATLANTA A UK AII TOWN/ Tlie Esul'iiiku-Si'n does not consider itself tho least officious in expressing gratification at the prompt manner in which the charges and assertions that Atlanta was going down hill have been met.. As tho capital of the state of Geor gia, as well as tiie fact that Atlanta is a sister of Columbus, there is a pride which makes it exceedingly pleasant to us to know that the situation is not so disastrous as some of her own citizens would have us believe. The evidence accumulates that the recent statements put in circulation and spread by north ern newspapers of tho distressing situa tion in tlie Gate City lias been very much overdrawn and that the business depression is exaggerated. As an instance of this, Air. M. K. Aliilier, a large city contractor, was given as authority for the statement that tho city of Atlanta could not meet her obli gations. in reply to this, Mr. Maher, in an interview in the Constitution, says: "That assertion," said Mr. Maher, “was made in a cusual conversation with Mr. Clayton and happened in this way : About six weeks ago there was a check passed up for me for |1500. I went to the clerk's office to collect it, and found that it hod been stricken IVom the roll. I made no complaint about it, Tor I knew that the money was good, and supposed that there had not been enough tax paid in to enable the mayor to pay all tlie bills approved by the council for payment. As I left the clerk's office I met Mr. Clayton at the corner of Whitehall and Alabama stieets, and the conversation turned on the prohibition question and the money lost to the city in licenses. While speaking of the decrease in the city’s revenues, I casually remarked that the city needed all the money she could get to pay off her contracts as they were completed, at the same time stating that I had done work some months previous to that time and had not received the money for it.” Mr. Malier states that his remark was not made in such a way as to throw doubt on tho city’s ability to meet her engage ments, and to show his faith in the city lie has offered to do work this year and wait until next year for his money, doing the work at reasonable jiriees. lie closes the interview by saying: “I am sorry that Mr. Clayton has seen fit to make use of the remark I made to injure the city, and I am satisfied that he regrets it. I want to be understood on one point, and that is, that I have faith in Atlanta, and would be the last person in the world to try to injure her.” So fur as the business of Atlanta is i on- cerned, there are no evidences hut what Atlanta is getting along about as \vt 11 as the other cities in (ieorgia. .V large car riage manufacturer, in speaking of his business, says: ”1 see a good deal of talk about Atlanta and her manufactures. I know nothing except about myself. 1 have sold more tine carriages this sum mer than any summer in the years. There has- been more tine carriages bought in Atlanta this summer than any summer for ten years. I am working more men to-day than I ever worked in my business before. The other carriage manu facturers of the city are doing well, and I think business is on a boom.” Of course such reflections its these are very gratifying to those who desire to see the success of our southern country, and who feel a pride in the prosperity of our state capital. We may have said some hard tilings about Atlanta, as there is a hard crowd to deal with w hen i comes to polities and things of that kind, but we have never believed that Atlanta would become poverty-ridden, and have not wished to see her enter prising people get any backset. The istryofa denomination which, in Geor- 1 gia, as well as throughout the south, ! numbers in its ranks men whom the whole public, irrespective of creed, honor for their intellect and piety. The Mis sionary Baptist church has lost some of its great lights of late, of whom it is not too much to say that he was one. Alost of these men were born and reared within the sanctuary of their church. The Baptist church lias brought forth giants in her parturitions of the past, and it is safe to say that her productive power is not yet exhausted. Tlie old men are fast fulling on sleep and are not, for God takes them. But useend ing, tlicir east off mantles are falling upon shoulders that cap Herculean forms. Perhaps no state in tlie south has so many promising Baptist preachers as Georgia. And in enumerating the promising we must eliminate the promi nent who are on life’s downward declivity. But in Georgia, naming young men only, there are Jtcvs. A. B. Campbell, of Amcricus, Charles Campbell, of Athens, B. W. Bussey, of Brunswick, and l!ev. Robert 11. Harris, of Columbus. These men and others, but these named especially, are the seed corn and the hope of this great denomination in Georgia. They will not disappoint the hope nor even defer it to the sickening of a single heart. But let them gird themselves for mightier work and strides, as their fathers in the church one by one pass away. Hr. Butler’s death seems to have been unexpected by the public, and while it crapes the country with sorrow, it is an other mournful reminder that amid the bustle and business of life we are all hurrying on to the ceme tery and the judgment day and the world to come. 11 is life, like everybody’s, was nothing but a dream, but he has now waked up to the realities w^iich eye never saw and ear never heard. While Bap tists everywhere are mourning Havid E. Butler, let them remember that his feet are not ceased from walking, but that they have pressed tlie sapphire floors of the only city that continues, and that he lias registered his citizenship there. Let them remember that his eye, that flashed from so many pulpits in Georgia, is not closed and filmy and sightless, but that it is gazing upon “the King in His beauty, and tlie land that is very far off.” CLEVELAND’S superior mm powder' VERY PURE Entirely Wholesome This certifies that I have recently purchased of several grocers in this city, packages of CLEVELAND’S SUPERIOR BAKING POWDER, have submitted their contents to chemical analysis, and have found them to consist only of very pure and entirely wholesome materials, very suitably combined for their purpose. They contain no other acid than that of the Purest Grape Cream of Tartar, and are completely free from Alum or any other deleterious or doubtful substance. They are, as to their com position, in all respects what the manufacturers claim. S. W. JOHNSON, Ph. D., Professor of Chemistry in the Sheffield Scientific School of Yale College.
