The giimc isn’t worth the candle. This reference to fire is purely figurative. It is said that a number of congress men and senators own and run a faro bank in Washington, and that a commit tee clerk is the dealer. Perhaps it is a sort of training school for funeral com mittees. An administration organ blandly says: 4 ‘ President Cleveland is in the hands of his friends.” Maybe that’s what ails him. He still needs a little teaching in rqgand to a president’s duties. well to consider, and it is that booming didn’t make Leadvllle, Denver, ami other strictly inland mining towns gien' cities. It gave them mushroom growths and left them bankrupt. Leadville’s mining and smelting output is worth $13,000,000 to $15,000,000 a year, and still the town is stationary—whore it was when the boomers had broke it and themselves in an insane effort to make it rival San Francisco, the great Pacific seaport. Tlie Knquirku-Sun lias no desire in the world to in any way hamper or place any impediment in the way of our people making money, or to retard tho progress of other cities. We mention these facts for the consideration of our citizens who are so wildly investing money in specu lations at liirminghain. Investments should be made with judgment, and our information is that many of these invest ors have never scon their purchases. And if they had they knew nothing of the character of the land. Those in po sition to know assert that over $100,000 have lately left this city for investment in Birmingham. Who can tell what might have been accomplished with this money if it had been kept ut home ? It may come back to the investors, we trust it will, hut it may not. Where is the consistency of pleading for foreign capital, when we send ours away from our own homes? Stick to your town, talk it, stand by jt, hack it. These are tho sentiments that should actuate every citizen, and with united efforts we will eclipse tho glorious record of our past, It is Columbus money which gave us tho leading insurance company in the state. It is Columbus capital that gave us the largest cotton mills in the south. It is largely homo funds which bedeck the Cliuttnhoochce with handsome boats, and it was a popular subscription that gave tho nucleus for the new railroad. When Columbus wills Bhe succeeds. A strong faith in ourselves has brought us to the present enviable point in our his tory; it is that faith which shall lead us on to greater triumphs. TnE conviction of McQuade so prompt ly by a New York jury speaks well for the condition of the courts in that city. Jahne first.,McQtiade second and—who’ll be the next? Afturall there is only a bridge of sighs between the New York City coun cil chamber and the stnte penitentiary. Hon. Chas. M. Croswbll who died on Monday last at Adrian, Michigan, was one of the better class of the old school politicians. Ho was governor at one time, and held many othor responsible offices. Of late years he might have been United States senator, but he lack ed the two requisites required of a candi- ■date in Michigan now—gold and brass. Some of tho labor organizations are riddling out tho anarchists. The more of this they do the better it will he for their cause with the great body of people. -Anarchists and socialists belong to a pestilent and mischief making genera tion. They are of no good to anybody else, and of little good to themselves. Labor organizations must draw the line if they wish to lie respected and respect able. • The friends of Cluverius, the betrayer and murderer of his cousin, Lillian Mad ison, arc. still stretching every nerve to save him in some way. If Miss Madison •committed suicide, Cluverius is morally responsible for her death, and he ought I fitted to the hand: to hang anyhow. It is a pity that every lascivious human hawk who preys upon the innocent doves of society could not bo hanged along with him. We need stricter legislation in regard to the be trayal of young girls in every state in tho union. I.FSSON OF THE BOODLE SYSTEM. There has seldom in our day been told anywhere such aBtory of unblushing cor ruption as that which was developed in the trial of McQuade, the Now York alderman. It is commendable in the courts that he should have had an im partial trial, and that the jury, true to a sense of duty, returned a verdict of guilty. The suprising thing about this whole boodle business is that these aldermen had the hardihood to deliberately set to work to form a combination among themselves by which to raise the price of their wares. It unfortunately $rgues a most corrupt state of society and of politics, for while there would be noth ing surprising in a public official yield ing to insidious approaches and selling ilia honor for a price any where and at any time, any more than there would be in the ease of any other man of standing who fell before the power of some strong temptation, and while it is conceivable that a number of such weak men might happen to he in the same body, it is only when the whole official tone is rotten to the very heart that tho majority of a board could sit down and discuss with each other the price at which they would sell themselves, Whenever such a slate of public morals exists, liowev r, and great power is eoin- of a few persons WHERE RIG 1'UtVNS GROW. A few days ago the Knquireh-Si'N re ferred to the fact that history fails to record tho permanent,progressive growth of any city situated entirely inland. Water must he there as a talisman of power—as a mascot of success. The United States census hears out the truth of this assertion. Largo cities grow on the water. One of our eoteinporaries, the Chattanooga Times, has taken the trouble to compile statistics from the last United States census, and finds that there ■were thirty-six cities ti the United States in 1880 having 50,000 population and up wards, and none of these are located oil' a considerable stream or large body of navigable water, fresh or salt. Of the thirty-six, three only are south of the Ohio and Potomac rivers: Louisville, population in 1880,123,000; New Orleans, 216,000; Richmond, 03,000. Four others are on the border: St. Louis, population, 350,000; Washington, 147,000; Kansas City, 55,000; Baltimore, 332,000. All these seven cities are on great rivers, and the largest are seaports. There were twenty cities in the United States having populations of over 100,000 *n 1880, fourteen of which are seaports or lakeports, and all of the other six on great navigable streams. The greatest of the lakeports, Chicago, is the greatest in the west; the greatest of the seaports, New York, is the greatest in the country. The greatest, except seaport and lake- ports, is St. Louis, the biggist city in the union away from the sea or lake, and it is on the largest river in the world. These cities are by no means the oldest in the land; they have no special local advantages for manufacturing, and still they are the largest centers of manufac ture, wealth, commerce and population. Our cotemporary incidentally alludes |o another fhet that it might be just as who have no special standing or character to lose, like results may ho looked for. Some close parallels to the course of Jaehne and his associates may be found in the history of the rotten boroughs nf England in the last century, of which, the “Christian Brothers,” of Bhorehum, which, in spite of the pious name, was nothing more nor less than an organization formed by a majority of the voters in the borough of Shoreham, in England, for the purpose of selling the seat for the borough to the highest bid der, is perhaps tho best example. The plan had its manifest advantages from their standpoint, as it enabled the organ ization to get all thp “sugar” there was out, and as it obviously was not worth while for any candidate to spend any money on the voters who were not mem bers of the society, the candidates them selves found it convenient to know just how much the seat would cost, and to be freed from the uncertainties and vexa tions of a warm contested canvass. Tiie enormous compensation which is paid in New York and in other places to certain officials, whose duties, while im portant, do not require a tithe of the ability and lea ning of much less well- paid officers, are not reduced because in point of fact, the incumbents are the ac tual recipients of only a part of what the public is supposed to pay them, the rest being paid to the particular hall, faction or club which put them in nomination, and whose creatures they are. The tes timony brought out by the Roosevelt committee of the New York assembly demonstrates that this was the uniform practice in New York, and there is no reason to suppose that it is confined to that city or state. Everywhere, copy ing after the example of the American Babylon, the professional politicians arc banding themselves into organizations of a half political and half social character, which organizations candidates soon find they cannot hope to defy. Party honors and nominations are in their gift. When this state of alfairs is brought about, the shrewd fellows who are the club within the club have it in their power to exact .terms exceedingly profitable to them selves in return for the support of the club. Power in the bunds nl’u (etv, when divorced from all public responsibility, always leads to abuse and corruption, and when such power i-* committed to the sort of men who come to the front in the political clubs of large cities, the road downward to the worst abuses is both sure and swift. ChanxiiiK tin, lIxih'iiHil Map. Georgia in Dill of railroad scheiuen and railroad rumors. In thin reared, It bears the flftrne rela tion to tlio south that Kansas does to tho west. The newest projected road is the CoUimbus and Southern. It has been surveyed from Columbus to Albany, eighty eight miles, by Engineer John L. Cowan. He will start out again on Monday with his surveying corps south from Albany, making a lino to Buinbildge and tlience to Tallahassee, Florida. Tills road is but an exten sion of the Georgia Midland, which runs north to a connection vlth the Richmond and Danville. Tliero is much speculation as to the power behind tills road. The Columbus representa tives of the capitalists who have It In charge allege that the money is on hand to comp'eto it und that it will cut mi important figure on the southern railroad map. A gentleman well up in railroad matters states that the Georgia Midland, whon completed through to Tallahassee by thin southern exten sion, will prove to be but un arm of the Rich mond and Danville system, which will thu3 have gained entrance into Florida and become a com petitor of the Plant system. The idea is put forth that the Richmond and Danville people were very willing that their friend should unload the East Georgia and Florida upon Plant for a round sum, because they deemed the Georgia Midland the best gate through which to enter the great orange states. With this road they gain, also, a territory which is rapidly improving, both in town and country. —Louisville Courier- Journal. The Atlanta correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle thus tells how Senator Butt, of this district, brought the house to terms: The speech of Senator Butt Saturday in which lie referred to tho way the house was neglecting senate bills in order to rush ahead its own meas ures, and in which he suggested that the senate read its own bills and left, house bills upon the table has bad a perceptible olivet upon the bouse. The legislature is a double-barrelled arrangtment in which one house cannot pass anything with out the assistance of the other. As soon, there fore, as Senator Butt called attention to the pol* cy ofthe houso and proposed retaliation, the house promptly capitulated. They needed the help of the senate in passing their bills aB much as the senate required tbeirs, and on Monday the whole day waB devoted to reading senate bills. Senator Butt is at once the humorist and helms man ofthe senate, and the mercury is lower than freezing point when lie gets left. The Boston Herald rises to remark: “In the last five or six years great changes have taken place in the south. There has been • great deal of railroad building, by which facilities for transportation have been ailorded to large extents of territory which had previously been but poorly supplied. The Iron, coal ana steel industries have undergone an enormous ex pansion, and in a number of the cities and towns manufacturing industries of a variety of kinds have sprung up." This is not news but it is gratifying to observe that our brethren, even in remote parts of the country, recognize the truth of it. The south is on a big boom in the way of development, and Columbus should put the best foot forward in taking it at^the floodtide.

These goods have to be seen and worn to be appreciated. Those who have tried them pronounce them superior to any thing ever offered for anything near the price. Kid Gloves, to be good and wear well, must be newly made of soft, elastic skins arid freshly tanned. If they lay in stock long the skin becomes dry and harsh; it is sure lo follow that a very large percentage will crack, and in many instances the seams part in putting on the first time. To prove the accuracy of the above statement, I have sold 25 dozen the past ten days and have not had one complaint—not one has “proved faulty; not one has parted seams. Can more be said of Gloves that are sold daily for 50 per cent more? I hope the ladies of Co lumbus will appreciate this effort to give them fresh Gloves at a very low price, and give us their trade.
