Our trade in Southern fruits and vege
tables, says a recent Cincinnati dispatch,
is increasing wonderfully fast. ‘-Freight
trains are bringing in Southern product*
in unexpected quantities. Yet a ready
market is found for all that come. More
than 1,500,000 Georgia watermelons were
brought here in July, and during the
same month the Louisville and Nashville
Railway alone brought in 100,000 barrels
of potatoes from Tennessee and Alabama.
All the early fruits and vegetables have
been shipped here in proportionately large
quantities.”
Savannah vs. Norfolk.
Some of our delegates to the National
Cotton Exchange who have recently re
turned are inclined, we think, to view too
favorably the facilities and advantages
which Norfolk and other Virginia ports
enjoy for handling and shipping cotton.
These ports, they say, seriously threaten
to draw away from Savannah and Charles
ton a large and steadily increasing per
cent, of their cotton business. The rea
sons they give for this statement are
cheaper freight rates, better harbor facili
ties and cheaper handling ot cotton
from the time it reaches the sea
board until it is stowed on ship
board. There may be something in all
these reasons, but is there enough to
offset the very great advantage Savannah
enjoys on account of her position? This
city is immediately in the cotton belt,
while Norfolk is a long way from it. This
|iort is the natural outlet for a very large
part of the cotton region. Much ot the
eotton that goes to Norfolk is diverted
from its natural channel. It is diverted be
cause there are obstructions which pre
vent it from seeking its natural outlet.
Due of these obstructions is the pooling
system adopted by the railways which
trans|iort the cotton of the territory tribu
. tarytO this city. The system has been
condemned by our Cotton Exchange, and
a strong pressure will be brought to beat
on the railways terminating here to
abandon it. Another of the obstructions
is the unwise action of our ship brokers
in declining to accept as freight cotton
compressed in the interior. An obstruction
was the system of classing cotton which
gave the impression to planters that
prices ruled lower here than elsewhere.
This obstruction has lieen removed. The
cost of compressing, which is claimed to
be too great, is also an obstruction. There
is no one of the obstructions that cannot
lie removed. Patience, energy and de
termination will remove them, and the
cotton that naturally belongs here will
come here. All of these matters, how
ever, were fully and ably discussed by a
committee of the Cotton Exchange last
June. We speak of them now not with
the idea that we are presenting some
thing new , but for the purpose of remind
ing our cotton men that the adoption of
resolutions will not accomplish the object
they aimed at- They must follow up their
resolutions with persistent and determined
action. They know what the obstruc
tions are which divert cotton from here.
They should not rest until these obstruc
tions are removed, Norfolk cannot draw
cotton away from Savannah by reason of
any advantage that she possesses. The
talk about the advantages of Norfolk
harbor amounts to very little. \ essels
drawing nineteen feet can reach our
wharves, and the time is not far distant
when we can accommodate vessels of
much greater draft. The river improve
ments now in progress promise to give us
about all the water we want. If Norfolk
draws our business away from us it will
be by the exercise of superior tact and
business shrewdness. We are not ready
to admit that there are lietteror shrewder
business men anywhere than in Sa
vannah.
Free ltailt-oail Passes and Our Leg
islators.
The indications are that the Legislature
will remain in session until the middle or
latter part of September. Comparatively
little business bas been done thus far.amt
the signs that better progress will lie made
in the future are not encouraging. The
p.i*s system seems to have a demoralizing
effect. With passes on all the lines lead
ing out of Atlanta the members, if we are
rightly informed, sjietul too much of their
time at home or at the pleasant summer
resorts of the State. On Fridays so many
members leave the city, to lie gone until
Monday, and sometimes until a later day
of the week, that often there is not a quo
rum in either House for two or three days.
Of course little can be done without a quo
rum. because unless there is a quorum no
business of importance can be transacted
except by unanimous consent. There
are very few measures to which
no one has objections. If it were not for
the passes on the railways members could
not afford to spend so much of their time
each week at home or in making pleasure
trips. Perhaps they forget that in being
so often absent frota their post of duty
they are increasing the burdens of the
tax-payers and are not making a
fair return for the money they
draw out of the Treasury. Occa
sional absences are excusable, but
the people have a right to complain
when the Legislature is practically ad-
journed two or three days every week.
We do not blame the railways lor furnish
ing the passes, because they fear, w hether
with reason or not we do not pretend to
say. that it these favors are not bestowed
their interest will suffer. The square,
dignified thing for the Legislature to do is
to enact a law prohibiting railway com
panies from giving passes to mem
bers and members from receiving
them. The pass system, to say the least
of it, is a kind of bribery. A member with
a pass in his pneket cannot act with the
same freedom in matters pertaining to the
corjioration whose favors he enjoys, as if he
paid his fare. Let the pass system lie
abolished. It is open to too many objec
tions to i>e continued.
No vessel that the government ever
owned has. perhaps, caused as much coin?
! ment as_tlie little Pinta, a tug boat of 3ntt
I tons. The Pinta, within the last year,
has cost the government something more
than SIOO,OOO for repairs. With all
the work that has been done on her; how
! ever, she is still unfit for sea. She started
! for New York a few weeks ago and broke
i her machinery before she had proceeded
; tar on her way. She is now in the Nor
folk navy yard undergoing further re
pairs. If the truth were known, it
is probable it would Ik? found that
about $-.10,000 was put on the I‘inta, and
the balance of the amount alleged to have
been expended on the vessel, was used in
helping Mahoue carry Virginia. A Demo
cratic House will, no doubt, inquire into
this scandalous waste oi the public
money. To build anew vessel like the
Pinta would cost no more than has been
wasted on tne Pinta’s repairs.
Mr. Chancev Depew, the well-known
New York railway attorney, in company
with William H- Vanderbilt, was inter
viewed at Saratoga, last Saturday, on the
business outlook of the country. He said
that the crops were excellent, and that
there was a sii[<erabumjauce of money, but
that gloom and distrust prevailed to a re
markable extent. The cause of this dis
trust, he thought, was that so many
people had lost heavily by dealing
in worthless railway and other securities.
The people are afraid to invest and con
sequently the volume of business has fal
len off. ft is a fact that is being commen
ted on that the merchants of New York
are doing comparatively little business.
It is a sign that they are in distress when
they send goods to customers which have
not been ordered. They are doing this
to an extent heretofore unknown in busi
ness circles.
William 11. English states that it is nO
secret that the Indiana delegation at the
Cincinnati Convention held a meeting and
I unanimously resolved to continue to sup-
I>ort Mr. Hendricks. A corres|>oiident,
who seems to be pretty well informed
with respect to the secret history of that
convention, says that great care was
taken to keep all knowledge of the
meeting lrom McDonald and Yoorhecs,
who were two of the strongest friends of
Mr. Hendricks. The meeting, it seems,
was called by Mr. English. Is it |*ossible
that Mr. English, knowing that Mr, Hen
dricks had no chance for the nomination,
was planning to get the second place on
the ticket?
The Sexes and Courier thinks that Sena
tor Hampton did the Charleston cotton
mill a grave injustice by his statement in
the Philadelphia Press that all the cot
ton mills of soiu4 Carolina were earning
big dividends, “with, pofi*il!y, the single
exception of the one in Charleston.- It
seems that the Charleston mill has been
in operation only about six months, and,
therefore, it can hardly be said that it is
yet fairly started. It is doing excellent
work, so the Sexes and Courier says, and
the chances are that when the dividend
time comes around the dividends will be
ready for the stockholders. Senator
Hampton, no doubt, spoke as he did be
cause no dividends have yet been paid.
Capital and Labor.
The great strike of the trainmen in 18i •,
the freight handlers and iron and steel
operatives' revolt last year, the present
movement of the telegraph operators, and
the constant demands of labor for con
cessions and additional compensation,
have stirred and will continue to move
the public to a study of the labor
problem. Unquestionably, the strong
est menace to the perpetuity of
our republican institutions comes
from the segregation of wealth that has
been going on in this country for the past
two decades. Twenty years ago the num
ber of millionaires was comparatively
small, and the gigantic corporations of to
day were almost unknown. The
accumulation of wealth in a few hands
has gone forward steadilj’, and has now
assumed a pace that promises to accele
rate rather than slacken.
Side by side with this movement has
grown up the direction of great move
ments by the hand of limited numbers of.
members of incorporated and protective
associations. The government of indus
trial operations and movements for the
redress of the grievances ot workingmen
by directories, executive committees and
such councils is but a reflex of the
tendency toward a siMiilar change
in the conduct of Federal and
State affairs. In other words,
the boss is everywhere and impersonates
the march of centralism. It behooves the
jieople to take thought as to whether the
perils that menace them may yet lie
averted. To the view ot the thoughtful
the time has come when legislative regu
lation of our great industrial concerns
must bo applied more thoroughly and ef
fectively than it has been as yet.
There are those who point to the prowess
and resources of the lobby and despair of
accomplishing anything in the way of
reform. The effort must be made, how
ever, outlie part of local Legislatures, else
the task must fall to the General Govern
ment, and if its efforts fail revolution may
be the only remedy. It may be that the
profits ot stock watering and such dis
honest practices may decrease, but it is
to be feared that the promoters ot such
schemes will grow in cunning. Should
the crises that appears to be impending
be averted until our system of tariff' tax
ation is reformed, there " ill he hojie that
with the lifting of the vast burden of
debt, which the people have been carry
ing so long, the prosperity of the in
dividual will lie heightened, and the sur
plus capital of the country applied to le
gitimate objects, But whatever the course
of events, the relations of capital and la
bor were never more worthy of thoughtful
consideration than as presented in the
United States to-day.
What a sad sarcasm upon the beauties
of protection are the following signifi
cant remarks of the Philadelphia Prc. ss:
“The information that the partial suspen
sion which has existed in many of the
anthracite collieries since January last is
about to terminate is a cause for great
gratification. The half time and conse
quent half pay to which the many thou
sand operatives were condemned meant
pinching poverty for them and their fam
ilies, with great discontent and suffering
extending through several counties o( tlie
State, and general prostration of the many
industries and occupations depending on
mining patronage.”
The general temperance hill gpt through
the House yesterday, but it seems there
is some complaint about the way one
vote—and tiiat vote necessary to the
passage of the bill —was obtained.
Whether the bill finally becomes a law or
not. there is some satisfaction in the fact
that so large a majority of the members of
the House ranged themselves on the side
of temperance.

Room for Comfort.
Courier-Journal.
There have been several dastardly out

masked men, and certain timid and in

“a revival of the old rebel sentiment.”
Let them take courage. The outrages
were unwarranted, but no colored men
were flayed and none of their skins have
been tanned.
As to Howgste.
A'etc York Sun.
It is very evident from these facts that
there are powerful interests at Washing
ton, unwilling that Howgate should be
brought to justice, if they are not con
cerned directly in protecting him from
arrest. The public authorities have ex
hibited no zeal in discovering his place of
evasion, and it is doubtful if some of them,
who were boon companions of Howgate,
have any desire whatever to see him prose
cuted.
Colfl Common Sense.
Philadelphia Record.
Is there a Democrat in Pennsyl ,auia
who believes the rate of wages for labor
depends upon any other consideration
than supply and demand? Y°t tb e stupid
platform makers would have w-orgingmen
believe that taxes may lie so manipulated
as to raise or lower the rate of wages.
The truth is—and no working man should
forget it—that every employer gets his
work done at as low a rate as he possibly
can. The only reason why labor in this
country commands better remuneration
than in other countries is that our cheap
land makes farming more profitable than
elsewhere, and so long as land remains
cheap eyery man has an ulterior resource
—he can dig* he can become a farmer.
When the land is occupied, a* It is in Eu
ropean countries, wages will sink to the
European level.

Dr. Prime has found an odd monument
in northern New York. A good man had
lived happily with an excellent wife until
they were well on in years, when she died.
He bethought him of some fitting memo

thought struck him that the square stove,

taken to the churchyard and placed over
the remains of his companion, who sleeps

The simplest post office in the world is

The post office is self-acting, therefore: it

which any abuse of the privileges it af

The organization of the Chinese

whom he equipped with breech-loaders
and field guns; and Tso Toung Fang,
Governor of Kansu, similarly armed 40,-

THE I‘KKSIDFAT STICKS.
A Mean Trick Upon a Distinguished
Party of Church Goers.
From Peck's Sun.
Probably the meanest trick that was
ever played on anybody, in a church, w as
played at Washington a few Sundays ago.
The fact tiiat the matter has not leaked
out before is because the authorities have
been trying to find out the parties that
perpetrated the wicked joke, lu one of
the Washington churches there is one
row of pews down one side that are re
served tor distinguished citizens. It was
in one of these pews that the editor of the
Sun was ushered when he was there a
year ago. The usher seems to know a
distinguished citizen when he sees one.
But this is neither here nor in Washing
ton. On the Sunday in question some id
iot got. into the church lie
fore the services commenced, and
put some prepared glue on all the
scats in this pew. The seats were soon
tilled up with distinguished citizens of
Washington, the President, members of
his Cabinet, Assistant Postmaster General
Hatton, Public Printer Rounds, judges,
prominent lawyers and visitors to the
city. When the congregation got up to
sing, the occupants of the glue row made
an effort to rise, aud then with one accord
all remained seated. They had to remain
seated or get up without their customary
clothes on. The congregation looked at
the row that was seated, looked at each
other, and then some sat down, thinking,
perhaps, it was the style to sit down. The
services proceeded, and every little while
one of the men who was stuck would try to
move around a little to see if lie was loose,
and all the rest would look at him to see
if he succeeded in tearing himself away.
The President, who had on a pair of light
lavender pants, is said to have watched
Mr. Hatton’s efforts to tie himself loose
with great interest, and the perspiration
rolled off the Presidential face as though
lie was out fishing in the sun. Judge
Gresham is said to have gone to sleep as
usual, and he never seemed to give his
pants a thought, hut, on the contrary, Mr.
Round# is alleged to have become nervous
and pulled at his pants until he broke his
suspenders, and then lie quit. If there is
one thing Rounds does know, it is when
to quit. When the last hymn had been
sung the congregation moved out at
the signal of the benediction, except
the gentlemen of the fated row. When
all had passed out that seemed to de
sire to do so, the sexton came along, and
Mr. Hatton told him what was the trou-
ble, and then they all discussed the
situation. The President was of the opin
ion that it was the work of a second Gui
teau, but Mr. Rounds said it was clearly
the work ot an incendiary. Teller, who
was fastened to the same pew as Folger
happened to be in, was for sawing off to
see who could break the monotony, but
Folger would not hear to it, and wanted
the sexton to semi for the Surgeon Gen
eral to amputate the whole party. Hat
ton, who wears a short coat, said he
should stay there until night and send
for his carriage. Finally the sexton took
Mr. Rounds by the collar, and
took hold of the hem of his gar
ment with the other hand, and by a
strong pull released him, with some of
his pants, and when once it was found
that pulling would relieve them, they all
got loose, but they were a tired lot, and
all who did not have carriages went home
by the back streets. A purse was raised
to pay detectives to hunt the villains who
put tiie glue on the pews to their lairs,
and it is probable they will he arrested
before the news gets out. A person who
would thus defile a church, and heap in
dignity upon the first citizens of the re
public, is fit only for treason, stratagems
and politics, but such people do exist, and
it is not strange that they should visit
Washington. It is believed the deed was
done by some disappointed office-seeker,
and Mr. Hatton will leave no stone un
turned to find the guilty party.
GOSSIP ABOUT MR. McDON'ALD.
Effect oil His Possible Presidential Can
dldacy,
A Washington special to the Baltimore
•Saw, August o, says that it has been con.
fidently claimed by the friends of ex-Sena
tor McDonald, of Indiana, that he was
one of the very few Presidential candi
dates for 1884 against the purity of whose
private and public life no breath of suspi
cion could be raised. So far as Mr. Mc-
Donald has attracted public attention the
sentiment has rather been in accord with
this claim. But to-day publication is
made here of allegations affecting the do
mestic life of Mr. McDonald, which are
absolutely startling. They are in all
probability unsustained by facts, but it
is evident that should lie receive the
Democratic nomination, these and kin
dred charges would lie made and
industriously circulated, and would
influence the votes of many thousand citi.
zens to his detriment, it it was possible
for one of the saints to fall from Heaven
and be taken up as a Presidential- candi
date, he would doubtless be assailed with
all manner of charges and reflections.
This may lie some consolation to Mr.
McDonald if lie is innocent of what is
charged against him, but it does not en
hance his availability as a Presidential
candidate. After the experience which
the Democrats had in 1880 in taking up
another citizen of Indiana on the ground
of availability, they are apt to be a little
more scrutinizing in the future and not
take things for granted. Irrespective of
the charges which are now Drought to
light, it is asserted by prominent Indiana
Democrats that the public at large has
been very much deceived by the assump
tions of Mr. McDonald’s wonderful popu
larity at home, and if he should be taken
up by the Democratic party it would
very likely lie a repetition of the English
experience.
Terrible Scenes in Cairo.
Liverpool Mercury.
The condition of Cairo is now said to be
very serious. Disorders have arisen in
consequence of the conflict between the
people and the cordon. The Prefect of
Police grossly insulted Colonel Prescott
and showed himself generally hostile to
all sanitary precautions. The Prefect
was therefore dismissed, but the apathy
and ignorance of the officials, from the
highest to the lowest, are, the Alexandria
correspondent of the Times says, as dan
gerous as open opposition. In spite of
the proved uselessness and cruelty of the
cordons, Shorn Pasha opposed their
relaxation stoutly, raising the old
cry of refusing responsibility lor
the consequences, while wasting time
at Alexandria bv discussing the
Soudan railways’ scheme and other Pro
jects, which, however important, are not
Urgent. Meanwhile trustworthy reports
from Urn interior show that the adminis
trative anarchy is almost beyond ere.

aud possibly a few other form exceptions,
but from one end of the country- to the

meanest effendi, both country and people
have proved themselves beyoud all ex

hardships and cruelties of Ismail’s des

of the last tour months of experimental
self-government.

ICE CREAM POISONING.
The Newberry Case Excelled by Camden
—Fifty-Nine Persons Made 111 t a
Church Festival—One Child Dead and
Several Victims Not Out of Danger.
Camden Special Charleston Xews ami Cou
rier, 6th.
On Friday afternoon the ladies of the
Baptist Church served ice cream in behalf
of their church, and a number of our
people attended and partook of it. Satur
day morning and yesterday tiftv-nine per
sons were taken violently ill, and every
physician in town has been constantly en
gaged in attending them. Thus far only one
has died, a young" daughter of Mr. O. D.
Shiver. The cause of the poisoning has
thus far baffled explanations. Whether
it is in the flavoring or from the vessel
used in making the custard, or from the
freezers, has not been determined. Some
sav the symptoms indicate arsenic, others
say zinc. The whole town is excited
about it, and great sympathy is felt for
the afflicted. Mr. Averill, of the South
Carolina Railway, offered the free use of
a train to get extra physicians. Some of
the custard will be sent to Charleston for
analysis. The physicians think the crisis
is over in about two-thirds of the cases.
The others are still very ill.
Another correspondent of the News and
Courier says: “It has been the custom of
the ladies connected with the several re
ligious denominations in Camden for sev
eral years past to serve ice cream upon
certain days in each week, for the benefit
of their respective churches. On last
Friday afternoon the ladies of the Baptist
Church here dispensed this universally
sought for refreshment, as has been their
wont in the past. The entertainment
was attended by about one hundred
persons, most of whom were children.
<>n Saturday physicians w ere summoned
to attend about thirty of those who par
took of ice cream on the previous after
noon, the patients having been attacked
with severe pain in the stomach, vomit
ing, headache, etc. Yesterday our physi
cians had fifty-nine patients, who w r ere
taken ill from the effects of the ice cream
taken on Friday, and to-day there are
sixty-five cases in hand. We have only
three practicing physicians here, and
they have been constantly on the go night
and day since Saturday. A consultation
was held yesterday morning, but the con
clusion arrived at was merely theoretical.
From what I can learn the doctors seem
to be of the opinion that this dire calami
ty which lias befallen our community has
been caused by arsenic poison, the symp
toms indicating that such is the case.
But one death has thus far occurred. A
little dau .liter of Mr. G. I>. Shiver, engi
neer on the Camden branch, died yester
day morning from the eflects of the poi
son.' There are several others who are
extremely ill, and fears are entertained
that they" cannot survive. This is a terri
ble blow T to our people. A pall hangs
over our town.
The Town Council of Camden will like
ly take this matter in hand and have
some of the ice cream and the vanilla ex
tracts used in flavoring the cream ana
lyzed.

“The greatest misfortune of the present

and wives of to-day are so often unfitted

remedy can lie found than Kidney-Wort.
