A new kind of coffee found in Bolivia produces a delightful form of intoxica tion. Several of the southern states have held their representatives to a strict ac countability for their votes in congress. Those who favor bribes contained in edu cational bills should not overlook this fact, A Chicago woman, with a four-months- old baby at the breast, is n delegate to the Knights of Labor ♦convention in Nichmond. In order for the mother to get into the hall with her baby it was necessary to make the infant a member of the order. This child may be said to he the youngest knight on record— though a Rood many youngsters of the same age have been heard from o' nights. That was a strong point wiiioli Gov ernor Pattison, of Pennsylvania, made before the 30,000 listeners at the York county fair—that if the coal men could legally conspire to reduce the output an increase prices, ho could the farmers com bine to limit the acreage of grain, and thus make their own market figures. Anil, by the same token, if such coal combinations may ruthlessly crush out any independent operator who refuses to go into their ring, why may not labor organizations crush out independent workingmen who take their places during strikes? Should not sauce for the goose he sauce for the gander, also? Ex-President Uonzai.os, of Mexico, who is reported to have been assassi nated, was one of the brave soldiers whom tile war with France brought to the front and made a political leader, lie was an exceptionally cnterprisingsoldier, and from a private in the ranks won a general’s commission, lie lost an arm , during (lie struggle, (ion/,ales displayed I a good deal of capacity ns a civil ruler, ; hut his presidency fell upon evil times, j when Mexico was too poor ,o support :i£ efficient government. lie was u thorough patriot, and deserved a I letter fate Ilian that which so often falls to political lead ers in that revolutionary country. I I’nth. this year public faith in sea sev- ! pent stories was lav from being strong ! and steadfast. The narratives of those who have claimed to have seen the rep tile, and who not iinfroqueiitlv described it so accurately as to leave little room for j real doubt, were received with a great many grains of allowance, however high the reputation of the narrators for truth fulness. To-day thcreare fewer skeptics, for the reason mainly that the sea ser pent has been seen in waters hitherto strangers to it, and Ivy so many persons whose description of it tallied in ail es- ^ sentiul respects, a* to leave no tangible ground for disbelievers to stand upon. In ) a woid, there is a very general belief that j the serpent is a veritable creature, not a myth, and the next thing to he done w ii! j be the capture of the interesting creature. ! The misfortune is that it makes its ap pearance at such unexpected times and places that those who get a sight of it are j without preparation for pursuit and at- ! tack. One of these days it will turn up in the vicinity of somebody who is pro- I pared to give chase and battle, and we j shall have the mystery that has hitherto j surrounded it solved. WHY vvr TK.1,1. THE TKVTIt t The persistent denials that Lord Ran dolph Churchill has been to Berlin, Bre«den or Vienna are succeeded by the rumor that lie is on itis way to Rome. State craft, and diplomacy is simply the art of lying. Common sense will teach anybody that Churchill has gone to the capitals of Germany, Vienna and Italy to assure himself and his government as to tlie attitude of these powers in the coining conflict with Russia, and to court an alliance with all these powers as a last guarantee of the peace of Europe. Diplomacy says that Churchill is tra vel ing for pleasure, for his health or to hear some new operas. There is some virtue about truth. It is easy, it is rational; it can stand alone. But lying is preferred because it is apparently safe and costs nothing. And yet there is not a great war on record which might not have been averted if the truth had been spoken in season, and there is not posi tively a case on record where lying avert ed a war. RKPLRMCAX CONVENTIONS. I From the reports that come in from the republican conventions that have re cently met in the different parts of the j union, it 1h evident that tho best certifi cate of membership that a man can ex- ! hibit to a republican convention is a pair of brass knucks and a slung-sliot. The well known fact that the democracy ! represents the capital.and culture of the j south, and tho republican party its rng- ! tag and bob-tail element is illustrated in I two conventions—one of each party— which recently assembled in Mt. Bleas- : ant, Berkeley county, S. C. The demo cratic convention has already been de- ! scribed in these columns. Jt was' a model of decorum, firmness and fairness. The republican convention assembled last week. There was “a childc aiming cm takin’ notes,”—a lone democrat—in the person of Lewis A. Beaty, an irre pressible Palmetto State reporter, whose caustic pen has made more than one re publican convention the laughing stock of the state. Here is a section of Beaty’s description of the assemblage of the ‘‘trooly loil,” in Mt. Pleasant lost week, or rather of what he, in his picturesque phraseology, terms the “Bob-Tailed Skeleton” : The voting was “viva voce.” Captain H. W. Hendricks was nominated for sheriff and Mr. J. H. Ostendorff for clerk of court, almost without opposition. At least so it seemed from tho win dow nearest the chairman’s desk; but in the back end of the hall opposition was shouted out, that never reached the auditory nerves of the tellers or the chair. Then a short recess for ‘-re freshments” was taken. When the delegates returned from their “re freshments" they were indeed refreshed—in the lungs and legs. Daniel T. Middleton was rushed through for school commissioner, and the con* voutiou then settled down—or rather stood up and shouted—to the election of representatives. Killy-five men, very black and very much excited, jumped to their feet when nominations were culled for, and shouted in a breath; “Mister cliuirman 1” and they remained up long enough to call about fifty-five times apiece, each time a little louder, before they begau to sit down again, Tliose at the back end and middle part ot the hall were growing hotter each moment at the luck of attention shown them, and those in front were growing more proud of themselves and their importance at eacli shout. Tito rear members finally subsided, but not so with the vuu guard; they crowded around the desk, painting their fingers in little Mr. OstendoriTs face until it seemed that his eyes were doomed ; and they pushed anti screamed, and bellowed and sweated, and cursed, until it s emed that tlie scene bad been transferred from Qiaretti’s barroom loft to a lower world, and all the devils were after Oslendorlf. Bui the ex-deputy col lector of the port of Charleston had seen such tilings before, and he was hardened to it. SENATOR Yl'LEK. (in Monthly last- ex-ITnited States Sen ator David L. Yulce, of Florida, died in Washington city. His career lias been a remarkable one. In some respects it is so unique that it is safe to say it will never lie repeated. He was a member of the lower house ot congress under one name and a member of the senate under another. In middle life lie changed his name from Levy to Ytilce, the maiden name of his mother, lie did this, it is said, on account of a quarrel with his father. Mr. Yulee lived to tho ripe age of four score years, and Ids life was a busy and brilliant one. When Florida speeded he resigned in the senate and vowed he would never mingle in pontic- or even vote again. lie kept his word. Ilts colleague from Florida, Senator .lohn Wcseott, resigned at the same time and registered an oath that lie would never live in the Tidied States again, lie kept his word. He went In Canada and remained there, where lie died in I88B. Mr. Yulee returned to Florida and during the war and ever ' since he has busied himself with railway | enterprises. Me became very wealthy j and leaves an estate valued at SJ,fl00,- I non. Mr. Yulee was an Israeliti li man of tlie highest order., He was one of that type of j .lews who have honored every profession j they have entered and every country i that has trusted them with its high | places of state. If Mr. Yulee had chosen lie might have kept pace with that 1 princely rebel and incomparable states i man, Judah I'. Benjamin, whose fame | ha -arched the oceans liken rainbow and shed its radiance on either shore. But j while Mr. Yulee forsook polities forever, he never forsook itis people. In private j life he became dearer to Floridians j than lie had ever been before. David !.. Yulee was flesh, and he had tlie passions with which flesh is pepper ed. But often, if not every time, he mas tered his spirit with mightier el forts than are required to take a eitv. But his rest less pulse is quiet now : his binv brain is a dark and senseless void, and there’s dust on tlie eloquent lips. In life his walk was dignified, pure, elephantine and path-finding: And now that he has walked out into tho echoless and view less beyond, we know it is well with him in the country to which he has gone. He lias passed away and people say he is dead, when they mean he lias just begun to live. Tiik impression seems to prevail in London that war in the east is almost in evitable. “There is still a possibility of averting a resort to force.” says the Times. That there is a probability of a peaceful conclusion of the Bulgarian crisis the Thunderer will riot undertake to say. The Standard thinks “an out break of hostilities is a probable contin gency.” The elections in Bulgaria ap pear to leave Russia nothing to hope from the voluntary action of the people, the numbers in the new sobranje favora ble to the czar’s programme being but 41, while 4SO members are opposed to it. Tlie czar has all along contended that elections held at the present time, while the government has a number of the op- position in prison for participation in tlie j dethronement con:piracy, will not fairly j indicate the people’s choice, and that ho j will not recognize any act ion of a sobranje j now chosen as valid. As the regency, in ! bolding the elections when it did and in trying the conspirators against the head of the state, has kept strictly within the j lines of tlie Bulgarian constitution, the! czar’s threat is remarkable. Whether it was an empty one will soon appear. Tub Roadinaster’s Association of Amor-! icn, which held its fourth annual session in St. Louis last week, elected ('apt. J. W. Craig road master of the Charleston and Savannah railroad, president of the asso ciation for the ensuing year. This honor will bo gracefully worn by Mr. Craig, who is one of the most thorough railroad men in the south, and a cultured gentleman in every sense of the word. Capt. Craig has always been noted for his courtesies to tlie press, and his rise in his profession and the high distinction he has achieved will he a source of gratification to the many journalists who have, at different times, fallen into his hands. The Columbus Business School has night sessions if a sufficient number of students desire it. It heats keno to death. The break down of the Republican Taylor brother on the stump in Tennessee is a precursor of what will happen at tlie polls. . In Rhode Island the nomination of prohibi- bition candidates for congress bids fair to make it very close work for the republicans to elect their men. Pnop. Wiggins might have predicted the storm which iias just devastated southern Texas and played havoc along the northern lakes, but his mind isconcentrated on earthquakes just now. I Since the New Zealand upheaval a green cres- ! cent moon hay been seen from that country. Ail doubt ns to the fact that the moon is made of green cheese is thus destroyed. Speakino of Mi. Blaine’s proposed second can- i didacy, Rob Ingersoll reminds the republicans of [ Mr. Lincoln's saying, that “Itis hard to shoot | twice with the same powder.” Baron voh Pa huh was in clover the other day. I He owns tlie far-famed Faber pencil factory at! Nuernberg, and was celebrating the 125th anni versary of its founding. Hundreds of congrntu- j lalory telegrams, written with “Fuber’s,” reach- j ed him. | One Peekskill editor says of another: “The contemptible pup who joined St. Peter’s church one week for patronage, was elected a lay reader the next and celebrated the event on the third by getting gloriously drunk, and who, if report is true, lias not been sober since, ngain assails us in his miserable apology oi a sheet.” Talk about western journalism! The New York Tribune complains that every republican member of the legislature who voted to submit a prohibitory amendment In that state finds himself opposed by a prohibition candidate. The prohibitionists, howover, plainly announce that they are working for the third party and not for tlie republicans or democrats. What constitutes an attractive neighborhood vary- in different localities. A stranger desirous of locating in a Texas town endeavored to pur chase a residence from u leading citizen hut thought the price too high. “Too high!” yelled the owner, “too high, with three saloons at regular intervals on the road to church, a peach orchard, with a fence easy to get over, close at hand, and there hasn't been a policeman seen in the neighborhood for the last two years! Why, stranger, it doesn’t look to me like you was try ing to become one of us.” *fd€maCordial CURES DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION, WEAKNESS, CHILLS AND FEVERS, MALARIA, LIVER COMPLAINT, KIDNEY TROUBLES, NEURALGIA AND RHEUMATISM.

Uv ('llIImil Rofnwi to Sitiml us tin* Opjionpnt of Ill'll!')' (ioorgo—“Tile Ailvornio of u Roller Which Cull Duly fiend to I'uiveraal I’ovorty nod Rom'rnl Ituiii.” New York, October 16.—Abram S. Hew itt, the nominee of the united democracy of this city for mayor, has accepted the nomination. In his letter of acceptance, which is made public this evening, lie says iu substance that, while his personal preference would be to continue iu the sphere of action in which, as a representa tive in congress, he bus labored for many years to promote the substantial interests of New York, he cannot but accept the nomination, so unanimously tendered, because of trie new issue which has sud- denlsprung up in New York city, viz: An attempt to organize one class of citi- z. ns against all other classes, and to place the government, of the city in the hands of men willing'to represent the interests of this class to the exclusion of the just rights of all others. “The idea which'underlies this movement,” Mr. Hewitt says, “is at w .r with the fundamental principles upon which our government was organized and res s." Mr. Hewitt then goes into a long review of the injury which'would result to tlie in terests of the country ami stability of its institutions if the results of the election would show any strength of this move ment with regard to organization of trades unions ai d other labor organizations. Mr. Hewitt says they should be encouraged, so that their grievances and demands may be .submitted to public judgment and met by appropriate legislative remedies. “The organized movement now made,” continues Mr. Hewitt, “for the hist time, against the methods of political action ap proved by the experience of a century of steady progress, and under which tlie country has enjoyed a measure of prosper ity heretofore unknown to the human race, must be clearly sustained or emphat ically condemned by the people or this city, which is as much the metropolis of the United States as Athens was the ‘Eye of Greece.’ ” In conclusion Mr. Hewitt says: “I feel it my duty to take my alloted'part as the candidates of the citizens who are in favor of law, order and progress, according to the methods approved by our past expe rience, against the advocates of the policy miscalled progress, which can only lead to universal poverty and general ruin.” In strong contrast to Hewitt’s delibera tion iu taking time to consider well the nomination was Roosevelt’s indecent haste in hurrying around to the Union League dub this hiorning and accepting his chance before it was cold. At. a meeting of the leaders of Irving Hall to-night it was resolved to support Henry George for mayor. A New Kiixlfish Dlrtiiimu).
