Siiouuj Colonel Irtgersoll fail to save tlie Chicago anarchists, Ire can soften things for them temporarily by assuring them that there is no hell. Senator Aluhon, of Iowa, sees great republican advantages in the southern elections. lie ought to read what the Iowa republican papers say on that sub ject. Not one of them can see any possi ble good in the south. George Bancroft has over 12,000 vol- nmes in his library. Senator Sherman lias several thousand volumes in Wash ington and at his home in Mansfield. Senator Ixigan is said to have one of the finest libraries in Illinois, and there is a cynical disposition to ask what he does with it. Tiios. II. Dudley, ex-consul to Liver pool, has brought suit for defamation of character against Senator Sewell, of New Jersey, because the latter during tlie campaign merely accused him of po litical dickering, of misrepresenting the government abroad, of charging illegal fees and of robbing sea captains. Both parties to the suit are seasoned repul- licans. The recent election in. Delaware is said Do have broken tlio strength of Senator Sanlsbury. He was opposed to (be re- election of Senator Gray and made it an tesue. Gray joined forces with James L. ' Wolcott, who wants to succeed Senator Sanlsbury. Tlie tight was a hot one blit, the Gray-Wolcott combination won. It is also claimed Unit the Saulsburys made a compact with the republicans which will seriously injure them with the democracy heroafor. Muss Rone Ki.u-.aiiktu Cleveland is not in tlie state of physical collapse which ' some papers have roposentod. She has 1 enough vigor left- to accept $.*>00 from a j magazine for a poem of 400 lines. The poem will bear the extremely unpoetieal tittle of “The Dilemma of the Nineteenth i Century." Miss Cleveland’s editorial ex j perience should have tulight her tlmt the j dilemma of the century is caused by a 1 superabundance of so-called poetry. The Washington prophets say we are 1 to have a lively session of congress, but that nothing of importance (except ap- propriution bills) is likely to be enacted, j This is, of course, a mere guess, but is no j doubt founded on a knowledge of the difiieulty of getting congress to seriously J consider and act upon hills that a (feet no I private interests or art’oet them adversely. | TUm electoral count bill appeals only to i statesmen and patriots, not to the gen eral run of small politicians; so, also, with the silver bill, which has, besides, a strong influence against, i( and as for the coast defense bill, only men who can look well ahead are likely to appreciate its importance. These are among the important measures. According to the interviews publish ed, ex-Senater McDonald says there is no question about the democrats having a majority of two in the Indiana legisla ture on joint ballot. There are contested seats in both branches, however, and until these are settled tlie exact strength of the two parties cannot be definitely ascertained. Tlie republicans have a majority in the lower house, while the democrats aro in the majority in tlie senate. Should the republicans unseat democrats who are returned, tlie com plexion of tlie legislature may be changed on joint ballot. Mr. McDonald intimates that,should tlie republicans exhibit a dis position to do this, a sufficient number of democrats will resign and thus leave the legislature without tbe constitutional number necessary to elect a United States senator. Tlie state constitution requires that a United States senator shall be ehosen by two-thirds of tlie members of each branch of tlie legislature. Mr. Mc Donald further says that thus far there is no further opposition among republt- tans to the return of Senator Harrison, but should they succeed in obtaining control of the legislature he thinks ex- Sovernor Porter would be a competitor. TIIK PRIMIlKNT AMI ELECTIONS. Since the recent November elections it has grown more than ever apparent 1" I bat by wise action at Washington and 1 elsewhere this whiter, the democrat) can not only hold their own ground, Imt gain largely next year and sweep the country I in 1K8K. The recent elections afford | abundant reason for caution and courage in the management of the democratic party, and while there is much of an en couraging character, the fact becomes all the more plain that the president should adopt a new policy with regard to federal offices. It 1ms already been summarized that “in the east the democrats have held their own and gained somewhat. In the New England and Middle States they gained nine representatives and lost eight, with the probable gain of u sena tor in New Jersey. They carried York, tlie pivotal state, for the fourth time in succession. They carried New Sersey and obtained a plurality in Con nection!, thus holding in an off year the doubtful states carried by them in IS84. In tlie west and in some portions of tlie south the party lias not fared so well. In the western and Pacific states the demo crats gained six representatives and lost 17, and in tlie south they made an unex pected loss of 10 members (two to tlie labor party) and gained but four. Tlie possible gain of a senator in Indiana would offset some of this, and us the party still has a majority of 14 over all in tlie house tlie loss is more significant than serious. Tlio gain of a governor in Colorado, where tlio democrats abstained from even a perfunctory endorsement of the adminis tration and are notoriously opposed to its policy upon the silver question and the civil service, is a straw that perhaps points both ways. Of tlio decided demo cratic loss of live congressmen and the stute ticket in Ohio, some was no doubt due to republican gerrymandering. But it should be said frankly that tlie elec tion frauds by the democratic ring in Columbus and Cincinnati, and the fail ure of Senator Payne to make any de mand for an investigation into the very serious charges of bribery in connection with his election, injured the party in that state, and it is not fair to hold any feature of the president’s policy responsi ble for it.” Commenting upon the fact that it is undeniable that the president’s financial policy, however sound it may seem at the money centres of the east, is unpop ular at tlie south and west, the New York World says: “And thus even what is best in his policy for the east lias con tributed to tlie losses of his party in other sections. It is noteworthy that tlie very ideas which gained votes for tlie democrats in Massachusetts lost them votes in tlie weBt, and that, while tariff reform was a winning card in Minnesota it was a losing one in Virginia. Facts like these should warn all to lie very careful in attempting to place the respon sibility for losses ami teach them wisdom in seeking for future gains. The survey shows that on the whole, excepting the unexpected loss in Virginia and Indiana, the democrats did tolerably well in view of all t-lie circumstances.'’ GETTING EVEN. It will ho remembered by those who take any interest in the affairs, that newspaper reporters were excluded from tlio banquet given Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, of England, at Cincinnati. This, too, at a time when all heads of America were bowed to do honor to England’s chief justice on account of his high office. It is a cold dnv, li 'wever, when the boys of tlie press get left, and they arc now having their fun by calling attention to the character of the man whose company they were forbidden. The Cincinnati Enquirer thus speaks of tlie occurrence: “They gave Lord Coleridge a banquet here, and undertook to put the press out in the hall. The boys wore not considered sufficiently ‘tony’ to sit at the‘first table.’ That would not have been English, you know. As a natural conse quence there were some quite vigorous express ions of local opinion upon the toadyism of the performance. Several things have happened to my lord ohiof justice since then. His only daugh ter married against his will, and he was mean enough to blackguard her husband. The latter sued for libel. It appeared upon the trial that this lordly father, with his immense salary, had forced his daughter to earn her underclothes by house keeping. Her husband recovered a verdict of $25,000 against him, and a venal judge set it aside. To-day his own daughter is prosecuting him for slander by reason of his public remarks Impugning her virtue. England is quite welcome to such a Hither as that. If we had him over here, whether he were lent chief-justice or any thing else, he would stand in imminent peril of a coat of tar and feathers. It occurs to us that the members of the press who refused to counte nance the Coleridge banquet in Cincinnati are warmly to be congratulated.” A GOOD SHOW ING. A very good showing is made by the postotfice department in its annual re port, not only of an enormous business compared with other nations, but of economy also in the working operations. Our service exceeded by 100,000,000 let ters and 125,000,000 miles the sen ice rendered to any other government, and it is thought that more newspapers are carried through the mails of tl|is country than by all tbe other nations in the pos tal union combined, excepting Germany. An unexpected feature of the report is tlie statement that the special delivery system lias been fairly successful. In the first year over a million letters were re ceived for special delivery, and the gov ernment derived a profit from the busi ness (less fees of special carriers) of $27,097. Tlie average time between tlie receipt of the letter at the office and its delivery is put down at nineteen min- ! utes. It is, nevertheless, true, we believe, j that the soi vice lias not been so reliable i as to attract the confidence, of the com- | j munity. If the government cun afford, i as would appear from this report, to ex- i j pend more money on the special delivery ! i service and make it more certain that the ! | extra stamp will really expedite the fer- ! vice, the sale of special delivery stamps■ ! can he very largely-increased, to cover, | ] perhaps, the added expenses of the de- ! partmeut. ! In estimating the cost'of the Chicago | strike it is shown that the strikers lost nearly half a million dollars in wages during the ten days they were out. Tlie direct loss to the employers was perhaps twice that amount. The loss to railroads, brokers and other traders was at len.-t live hundred thousand more. The money which the strikers themselves lost would have built 500 cottages, or established a co-oporntive packing house. As it is there is nothing whatever to show for it, only that the working people have been duped by those whom they have put in authority, as our press dispatches this morning show. It will not take many such men as Butler to overload tbe Knights of Labor. , WHAT THE 8I11VOB8 BAY. The Augueta Chronicle is responsible for the statement that “♦he wealthiest man in Montana is a Virginian who started out a poor lad.” It is rather chilly in Montana to start out a poor lad just now, and it somewhat depends whether or not this is a compliment to the wealthiest man in that state. If he started the poor lad out with a snng little fortune, then is his example worthy of imitation. The spread o r journalism has been beautifully illustrated this week, though the occasion made the city editor of the Capitol “as crazy as a dude.” The boy weighs ten pounds and it is said yells like a Comanche. It is rather late in the season for snake stories, so it is presumed that the Albajiy News ^intends the following for a fish tale: Another wagon load of eels, taken from traos in the Kincliafoonee, was brought to the city yesterday. There w ire three hundred and sixty- odd of the snaky looking tilings, and the most of them were sold. From the Atlanta Capitol we take the follow- inc: One of the most wonderfhl examples of the cold unfeelingness of society was exemplified last night in the german at the Kimball. The merry dancers and joyful music kept harsh accompam- ment to the sad watchers at the bedside of the dead who lay not forty ' ards aw ay from the ball room. ’Tis often said that society has no heart How can we believe otherwise ween we see such forcible, practical illustrations. Here was a young man who had, we are informed, sat at the favor table not six days ago and dispensed them to the dancers in the same room, and not many days gone by had mingled with them on the floor In social intercourse. No v he lays dead, and the german goes on and the music wanes not. Captain R. F. Kolb, of Barbour county, is a candidate for commissioner of agriculture for Alabama. He is a practical faimer, an intelli gent man and worthy citizen. The Eufaula Mail, in a lengthy editorial, uses the following concerning his candidacy: His thorough executive ability has been com- « demonstrated in the management of the ite fair, and his conduct of tne agricultural department of the state would scarcely be other wise than equally successful. Enthusiastic and altogether practical himself, he would stimulate the agricultural interest throughout the whole state, and so make his incumbency of untold material value to a by no means sufficiently ap preciated interest—that of the state’s agriculture. Captain Kolb is in every way qualified for the po sition of agricultural commissioner, and from the endorsement of his candidacy in all sections of the state, there is evidence that no other selec tion would give equal satisfaction. CLEVELAND’S BAKING POWDER DESERVES TO BE EIGHT RECOMMENDED.

It is entirely free from Alum, Acid Phosphates, Terra Alba and other substances, which era frequently used for the manufacture and adulteration cf Peking Powders ; and on account of its purity and healthful constitu ents deserves to be highly recommended.
