Frank Cheatham, of Nash ville, whose death is announced, was a most lovable man, and was a hero of both the Mexican and Confederate wars. He was the father of Kittle Cheatham, the actress. At the time of his death be was postmaster of Nashville, and it is proposed to induce the president to ap point his wife as Iris successor. It is a common practice of the republi cans to charge upon their opponents the offenses to which they were themselves addicted during t heir long term of power. Having misused the franking privilege for partisan purposes during many cam paigns, and stocked navy yards with (heir | henchmen for political purposes, it is natural they should suspect the demo- | crats of similar practices. It is claimed that the profession (?) of street hoot blacking is dying out. The 1 hoys are living supplanted by men who j have capital enough to run a chair, and tints pander to luxurious tastes And now even the latter will find their occu- ' patiou gone. The Patent Office < duetto, published on August 17, contains a de scription of a patent shoe-brushing ma chine which enables every man to he his own ho, >i black. The details of the appara- tusarcuot very clearly explained,but it i> evident that the machine may become in time a most useful accessory to comfort, i A slight development of the present patent would enable the machine to ; waken a sleeper in the morning, polish his shoes quickly and effectively, put them on his feet and lace them up and, perhaps, wait on him at breakfast. By turning on a night perew, the machine could he made to throw bootjacks at the cats. There are practically no limits to the possibilities of this great labor-saving machine. The only difficulty it lias met with so far is in making a size large enough to be popular in Chicago. Wll.l, RISK AGAIN. Charleston, in all her reverses of fortune, has always displayed a spirit that is com mendable. She has undergone trials that all other citie* j n the south have c-capod. Hosolated by a great lire, which swept away all the business part and many of the residence streets of the city; bombarded with Gilmore's siege guns and battered to pieces: prostrated by a hurricane, and now wrecked by an earthquake, the invincible city does not weakly succumb to “unmerciful disaster,” but with true American enterprise sets about the labor of restoring order out of chaos and preparing once more to rebuild its ruined towers and replace its shat tered shrines. It is this spirit of intelligent will, dis cernment, and courage, which will gen erally triumph over any and all mis fortunes; and Charleston will yet become a great and prosperous city. Its posi tion, at the head of a harbor where two rivers meet, in meeting the sea, and with a great and productive country back of it, is exceptionally favorable for Charles ton’s development as an important com mercial port. In its renewed and sore affliction that city has the sympathy of the whole country. Substantial aid, no doubt much needed, will be proffered; but, after all, in all such matters it is still true, of cities as of men, that every one must be his own redeemer. DAILY EXQUlRfiU • SUN : COLUMBUS GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 8, 1886. t'APi'.UN,Dawson, OK ellABLKKTON. | cour.-e it is the democratic party on Ye-terdav morning the KsqriREit-Si x , which the blame for both these minx- published a dispatch from Charleston 1 parted mislbrhiuos is placed. I; is the demo rc.tlc pni'ty that pre\T*nts tbe col ored man in the south from voting the which contained an extract from an edi torial in the News and Courier. This article urges Imsines- for Charleston, and says t hat only such “help as this will enable Charleston to make good the frightful losses that ha cc been sustained.’ Tills is the spirit of a hero, and no doubt voices the sentiment of the people in that city of ruin and desolation. Help forthe immediate relief of the suf fering is timely and answers a call upon common humanity. lint Charleston needs more than l Id-, and to in any way recuperate from the terrible visitation the channels of commerce must he kept open and active. This spirit of indomit able resolution and enterprise is well lifted to excite the admiration of the world. It has excited the admiration of a cotemporary in a northern state which gives ventto its feelings by saying that in the midst of the city’s wreck and ruin, and ere yet the earthquake shocks have ended or the broken walls have ceased to fall, the voice of the local press emphatically proclaims one thing that even the earthquake has not broken, and that is the unconquerable will and enterprise of the Charleston people. In a display announcement which was itself put in type by compos itors who stood ready at an instant’s warning to drop their “sticks” and rush or leap from the shaking building, on the recurrence of shocks that had not yet ceased, the News and Courier sound ed the reassuring note of confidence, de termination and good cheer. It was the same one year ago, when the city had been so disastrously swept by a hurri cane; and now, out of the confusion of a still greater calamity, the same rallying bugle-note is sounded with added vigor: "Charleston Is ready for business, despite the earthquake and its ravages:" “the warehouses give ample accommodation; the wharves are in excellent condition; compressors are fully up to their work, and the merchants and factors, un daunted by misfortune, have girded up their loins anew for the buttle of commercial life." "Let it not be imagined for a moment that Charleston is sitting in her ashes bewailing the Iobk of milions. The full consciousness of the loss is here. It is understood folly that far more than the earnings of a twelvemonth were swept away in less than a minute. Rut for all this, and because of this, Charleston is only the more de termined to maintain the commercial position it has won, nnd is fortunately so situated as to be utile, as well as ready, to deal successfhlly with every department of trade amt every branch of business." It is not too much to say that the edi tor of the News and Courier has been, and is now, the man for the occasion. It may be thought by some that lie pos sessed superior advantages for reaching the people and expressing his views. In a measure this is true, but no word of encouragement from others have escaped his columns, and none have been ex cluded. Yet his brave words tower above the dread calamity. As a rule every great emergency develops its hero, and in this instance Captain F. \Y. Haw- son has become master of the situation to such a degree that an esteemed eotem- porary says: “From the first he and his 1 at per have been the main sustaining in spiration of the son 1 affrighted and stricken people of Charleston. We have j received this morning the first ! copy of Captain Dawson’s pa-j per that has conic to us since Charles- ! ton was isolated from the rest of the country. The very style and looks of, the paper are heroic. Along with the most daring and thorough enterprise in getting the most terrible local news ever recorded by an American newspaper, not a line of whidi shows undue excitement or exaggeration, we find an editorial page whose quiet and unostentatious plucki ness, strength of hope and solid faith breathe through every paragraph. The same issue, last Wednesday morning’s, that tells the story of Charleston’s wreck, is filled with cheerful reviews of her trade j and industries and with enthusiastic pre- 1 dictions of her future material develop- ! ment. As to the great calamity, the News and Courier, with heroic simplicity, remarks: ‘Charleston is sorely hit this time. Perhaps our misfortune will bring our people together.’ ’’ I — - AN UNRULY ANIMAL. If isa singular fact that the republican ; newspapers and republican leaders are i such slow scholars in understanding the j colored voter. Democratic newspapers and democratic leaders in the same com munities are much more apt scholars. Our republican friends find the col ored man a most unmanageable and re fractory animal, simply from the fact that they do not understand him. If they knew him better tho trouble they have with him would not furnish so much amusement for those who are bet ter posted. As a matter of course, every republican knows just exactly what every colored voter ought to do when he goes to exercise' his right at the ballot box, but, as a matter of fact, he doesn’t meet the requirements made of him by the republicans. In a most an warranta ble and unaccountable manner, lie will vote the democratic ticket when expected to vote for republicans. In fact the col ored man has so completely upset all tho theories of republicans until they have come to the conclusion (.1) that he doesn’t vote the republican ticket; (2) that he is a dangerous enemy to the white laborer of the north. The Globe-Democrat, a partisan repub lican, by the way, moralizes considerably on this question, but it meets with proper information at its own door. The Re publican, a reliable democratic journal, published in the same city, telle it; “Of BLANCHARD, BOOTH & HOFF * republican ticket, and it is the democratic party that, in some mysterious manner not easy to explain or understand, brings him in di-nstrous competition with northern white labor. Still, the fact remains that the colored man, in the hands of the republican leaders, is a failure. lie does not serve the purpose they expected of Mini. They looked for him to repnblicHtiize the south, and famish litem an easy falling pluee when their party should lose, and it is losing its hold on the northern states. In this thoy are disappointed. The south solidly democratic in spite of the eolo vote, and ill some respects with the aid of it. The emphatic satisfaction of the colored people at finding that, Instead of being re-ifiislaved, oppressed and mal treated under the democratic rale, as the republican leaders told them they would be, they are actually better off than they were under republican rule iH causing them to drift into the democratic camp. Their vote is, therefore, so hopelessly lost, to the republicans that in many of the southern states the republican party- lias ceased to exist; nnd in addition to the loss of his vote in politics, he lias the audacious ingratitude to threaten their policy of protection by working for lower wages than is paid for white labor in the noith,and thereby offering a premium on the investment of manufacturing capital in the south. In short, the deal ing of the republican leaders with the colored man has brought them only vanity and vexation of spirit.” Carry the’ Largest and Most Varied Line of Ladies' and Misses' ESTABLISHED 1874.
