The Must Available Candidate.
Democrats are so anxious to win the
Presidency that they are timid about as
serting their convictions, and are afraid
to do wfaa> their judgment tells them is
right. They are alarmed at every whisper
of opposition, and are quick to make con
cessions, even where such concessions re
quire the abandonment, for the time be
ing, of principles. A great many excellent
Democrats, who are earnest believers in
tariff reform, are willing to pash the tariff
reform issue in the background because
the bolder protectionists alarm them
bv predictions of ruin to the party
if it is urged. The leading
candidates for the Presidential nomina
tion are Bayard and Cleveland. There are
few Democrats who do not think that
Bayard is the better man for President.
He has an experience in public affaire
which Cleveland has not, and be has at
tained an eminence as a statesman that it
is hardly probable that Cleveland will
ever attain. Democrats all over the
country, however, are demanding the
nomination of Cleveland because they are
afraid that a couple of speeches that
Bayard made many years ago would injure
bis chances of success if he were nomi
nated. They do not consider that what
the people want now in a candidate more
than anything else is integrity and states
manship. The people do not care much
what opinions a candidate entertained
fifteen or twenty years ago, so long as he
entertained them honestly and fearlessly,
and was not disloyal to the government.
Wbat they want to know is, what he is
and what he believes now, and they want
to be sure that he is w bat he pretends to
lie, and that he believes what
he pretends to believe. There
is no Democrat or Republican who will
say that Bayard is not an honest man, an
aide man and a safe man to trust with
the administration of the government.
That he had the moral courage to say that
he favored a peace policy when that poli
cy was not popular, and that he thought
loyal men in loyal states ought to be paid
for their slave property, when public
sentiment was the other way, ought to be
mentioned to his credit, because It proves
that he is not a demagogue. He has the
courage to do what he thinks is right,
regardless of public clamor. There are
few public men who have courage of that
kind. They ought to be given places of
the highest trust, because they have the
integrity and strength of character neces
sary to a pure administration of the gov
ernment. Those who are parading Bay
ard's speeches as an obstacle to his nomi
nation, are either timid Democrats or
those who are working in the interest of
other candidates. If he should be nomi
nated, the speeches would cut no figure
in the canvass. At one time Greeley held
the same opinions relative to
allowing the seceding Statei to go
in ie;ice, and Lincoln faTored
paying loyal citiz.-ns for their slave pro
perty. It is claimed for Cleveland that
he can carry New York. The same
claim is made for Bayard and with better
reason. Cleveland has made a good Gov
ernor, but he has. at the same time, made
enemies. He has lost jopularity even in
his own city of Buffalo. There is quite a
strong feeling against him in the city of
New York. Bayard would encounter
none of this hostility. He would get
both the Democratic vote and the
reform vote. The great majority which
Cleveland received as Governor did not
Indicate great popularity, because his to
tal vote was very little more than that of
Hancock-in I*Bo. His majority was
largely due to the refusal ol the Republi
cans to vote.
In the last quarter of a century the
Democrats have made several mistakes
by seeking an available candidate rather
than one conspicuous for statesmanship
and a lofty character. Now when so
much is being said about adminis
trative reform, and when the people
are thoroughly disgusted with the cor
ruption in official circles, the most avail
able candidate is the one who* judged by
liis public career and private life, most
completely meets the popular idea of the
kind of a man the President should be.
Butler's I/cftcr of Acceptance.
General Butler devotes almost the
whole of his letter, accepting the Green
back nomination for President, to a de
fense of greenback currency. It saved
the government, he says, during the civil
war, and enabled It “to repay three-fold
all it received in loans from any
creditor, or gave to him secu
rity more profitable and stable
than was ever issued by any power in the
world, and made the financial system of
our government at once the envy and ad
miration of all men.”
This it did, he claims when there were
grave doubts in the minds of many wije
and patriot!, men whether the legislative
branches of the government had constitu
tional authority to issue uch a currency.
The constitutional question, however, he
says, “having been three times submitted
to the Supreme Court of the United States,
the very highest tribunal of constitutional
construction, was at last decided in the
affirmative with such unanimity as only
to show that there might have been a pos
sible reasonable doubt against it.”
He condemns the agitation against the
Greenback currency and speaks
of the national bank currency
as a “system of purely paper currency is
sued by corporations, established by the
government, indeed, but tor private
emolument and gain to the corporators,
which currency itself is to be valuable
only because it is made redeemable in the
very greenback which this ghoul-like agi
tation seeks to repudiate, overthrow ami
destroy.”
He tells the Greeubackers that there
seems a wisdom and a necessity for the
furthet continuance of tbeir organization.
He does not seem to think that the organi
zation will grow stronger because, he
says, “if there were but two of us we
ougtit to stand together.” He tells the
Greenback party that he is with it, and
he is probably prepared to say the same
thing to any other political organization
that will nominate him. While he says
all that can be possibly said for the
Greenback doctrine, the impression gained
from his letter of acceptance is that he
does not think that Greenbackism will
ever again play a prominent part in poli
tics.
The State Board of Tax Assessors of
Kcw JcrotT io buoy oollaling tho rotiirna
of corporations. It is asserted that the
increase in the amount of taxes on corpo
rations this year will be at least $200,000,
and that no general State tax on land and
personal property will be levied in the fu
ture. It is doubtful it it is best for a
State government to be sustained by taxes
on only one class of citizens or species of
property. Every citizen should be a tax
payer, and taxes should be so adjusted
as to make each one bear his proportion
ate share of the public burdens. If cor
porations alone sustain the government,
they will demand special privileges,
which will enable them to make much
more out of the people than the amount:
of the taxes they pay. It would be muc’ 1
better, no doubt, if the corporation ta:
were reduced, so as to require the h
ing of taxes on every species of prop
in the State. It may be imagined,
ever, that the present condition of p,
in New Jersey is highly satisfaqjje
every body except the manager
corporations.

The Chattahoochee Trade.
We have time and again notified our
merchants and cotton factors that they
would lose the trade of the sections of
country tributary to the Chattahoochee
and Flint rivers if they did not put forth
extraordinary efforts to retain it. The
time has gone by when the trade of a sec
tion, for which there is competition, can
be had unsolicited. There was a time
when the Chattahoochee and Flint river
trade found its way to this market with
out any effort on our part. New lines of
communication and transportation have
opened to it other markets, and if we
want it we must offer it superior induce
ments. We ought to be able to, and can,
offer superior inducements. The Bain
bridge. Georgia. Democrat, speaking of
this matter, says:
If savannah merchant* desire to control
'any of the trade of this section they must
surely awake from their long Rip Van
Winkle sleep. Heretofore they mani
fested but little enterprise, believing, we
suppose, that the commercial universe
revolves around Savannah as the central
planet, and any effort to displace her
must knock the whole system into “smith
ereens.” But old Rip must get up and
shake himself. While Savannah has felt
secure in her monopoly of this Flint and
Chattahoochee section! New Orleans and
Mobile have been working like Titans for
an entrance therein, and to-day. after
only one year's foothold on this valuable
territory, these cities have about run the
sleepy merchants of the “Forest City”
out of it, “horse, foot and dragoons.”
The merchants of Savannah are not
asleep, and they are not indifferent to
their interests, but it must be admitted
that they have not shown the energy and
enterprise with respect to the Fiint and
Chattahoochee trade that they are capable
of showing. If we are rightly informed
they have nothing to complain of in the
way of transportation rates. The railways
leading out of this city are ready to lend
them every assistance, and will see to it
that the merchants of New Orleans and
Mobile have no advantage over them
so far as freight rates are concerned.
As we have already stated, our mer
chants have advantages for handling the
trade of the section under consideration
which ought to make successful competi
tion with them about impossible. Thev
must, however, get rid of the idea that
these advantages are sufficient to give
them this trade without effort on their part.
If they retain it, it will be by the same sort
of means that New Orleans and Mobile
are making to get it.
A woman's love of money and a dog's

A Mrs. Roth, after escaping from her

The country needs fewer dogs and better

about this much desired state of affairs.

began turning it, talking earnestly mean

The number of shocks in an earthquake
varies indefinitely, as does the length of in
tervals between them. Sometime* the whole
earthquake only last* a few seconds. Thus,
the citv of Caraecas was destroyed in about
half a 'minute. 10.000 lives being lost in that
time. Lisbon was overthrown in five or six
minutes, while a succession of shocks may
continue for hours, dags, weeks or months.
The Calabrian eartbqdffke. which began in
February. 17*3. la-ted through a continued
series of shocks for nearly four years,
until the end end of 17sf5. The area
shaken by an earthquake varies with the
intensity of the shock from a mere local tract,
where a'slight trembling has been experienc
ed. up to such catastrophes as that of Lisbon,
which convulsed not oalv the Portuguese
coasts, but extended into Iceland on the one
hand and into Africa on the other, agitated
lakes, rivers and springs in Great Britain,
and caused Loch Lomond to rice and subside

Mod jess x is described by an observer as
both ugijr and beautiful: and. to prove this,
be describes her at the studio of an art.st who

at the original and then at the painting. -Zat
ees true." the actress replied: “see! lire ees
noting similar. Look at us both. We are not
efen *eesters." There was more difference
than before. “But look at ns now.'’ -She took
a place close by the picture, struck the atti
tude in which it represented her. and the
faces were alike. She had readi-y put her
features into exactly the combination shown
cn the canvas. She*is no longer young, as can
be readily discerned across the footlights: and
the many years of nightly painting have ob
literated whatever of bloom there may ever
have been in her comp'exion. which is now
sallow and lifeless. Great mobility is the
chief characteristic of her features, and it is
when they are in repose that they appear
dull, expressionless, irregular, and deep
lined—in fact. ugly. This aspect is very rarely
presented to an audience.
Bkossos Howard, being asked how plays

to secure the desired "result. At last one of
the members write to a sister, in another city,
and asked her to send a recipe. Her rep'y

sisied of a very minnte description of the
necessary procesi. and concluded as follows:
•If your cook will comply with these instruc
tions very carefully and accurately in every
respect he will make good buckwheat cakes
prorided he hue <1 epecoil oeniue for making
them.' On hearing this document read, one
of the directors remarked that the best thing
thev could do was to throw away the recipe
an<i get a native American woman that bad
the genius. His suggestion was adopted; and
a sodde-s, sprung from the soii. has presided
since then during the hours of breakfast over
the griddle of the Lotos Club. Any recipe
for writing a successful play must end, of
course, with a proviso like the above: e*cept
that we should change the word ‘genius’ to
aptitude.’ ”

St. Louis Spectator.
Gen. Logan bag one son and one daugh
ter. The son is a youth ot sixteen or
eighteen and is at West Point, though his
father was not favorable to his bavin? a
military training. He is said to be quite
a well-behaved, sprightly young man
The daughter is married, and her bus!
hand is in business at Santa Fe, New
Mexico. She was with her parents much
of the time last winter, and is most affec
tionately devoted to them. She stills pets
her father and fondles with him with
childish playfulness. Her education was
had at the convent in Georgetown, and
one or two young ladies of St. Louis
were her classmates. Her complexion is
dark and her hair very black. 60 that in
these two particulars she resembles her
father. Bhe is ot slender build and is
rather pretty, but is as simple and unpre
tentious in her manner as a child. Mr
Blaine has three sons—the eldest a gradu!
ate of Yale and the second a graduate of
Cambridge, and the tlflrd a very bad boy
and two or three times expelled from col!
leges where he had been placed. He is
James G., Jr., and looks very like his
father. In Washington he loafs'about the
billiard halls and can drink like a fish
though not over 17 or 18 years old, he
turns up a glass of Bourbon “straight”
“like an old-timer.” He is about past the
point of redemption and is the one source
of domestic infelicity to the otherwise
very happy Blaine farnilv.

given orders that none should be admitted
unless they had his card. Nellie got in
however, notwithstanding her being un’
provided with Mr. Oscar Wilde’s visiting
card. She says the bride’s dress was
pretty, chiefly on account of its perfect
simplicity. Her veil was peculiar, bein^

bridesmaids’ harmonies of terra
cotta and primrose were spoiled bv
white hats and feathers. Nellie says it
was the funniest thing in the world to see
the contracting parties and the best man
posing in studied attitudes during the
ceremony. Fancy a man being married
with his bead on one side, like a “tired”
lily, his hand on his hip, and his legs dis
posed according to a preconcerted ar
rangement. The bridesmaids carried
lovely lilies. Lady Wilde “snatched” her
new daughter to her heart with some effu
sion, and the bridegroom kissed the bride
with much calmth and coolth in the pres
ence of a somewhat limited congregation.
RAILROADS AND POLITICS.
A Few Interesting Dot* from Emanuel
County.
Swaixsc*ko, June IS.—For an inland
country town Swainsboro can boast of a
fair share of exciting topics just now.
Usually her denizens are staid, sober and
quiet people, but at present they are en
thused to an unwonted degree on several
momentous questions. First of all is her
recently started railroad boom, which
bids fair to culminate successfully. The
railroad of Messrs. Donovan & Perkins,
wealthy mill men, runs from Wad
ley, on the Central Road, to
a point withitk ten miles of this
place. Bein? anxious to have railroad
communication with the outside world a
meeting was recentlyheUi for the purpose of
formulating a proposition to be made to the
above firm, looking to the extension of
their road to Swainsboro. Our enterpris
ing merchants, and citizens generally, re
sponded promptly to the call, and, later,
another meeting was held, at which
Messrs. Donovan and Perkins were both
present. With commendable zeal
for the building up of our beauti
ful little town, these srentlemen
obligated to bear an equitable portion
of the expenses necessary to construct
and equip the road. Our citizens ac
cepted their offer.and at once made up the
additional amount that will bo required
on the work, and a civil engineer from
your city is now at work, with plenty of
help, surveying the route. So you may
put it down as a fixture that Swainsboro
will, ere the ides of .January, have rail
road connection with your own enterpris
ing and prosperous city.
The second topic ot interest here is the
universal theme—politics. We have al
ready elected delegates to the Congres
sional and State Conventions. Judge
Adams’ friends carried the day here for
him. Brad well’s supporters made astub
liorn fight, but yielded gracefully when
they saw no chance for their favorite.
Judge Adams made lasting friendships
in this county while holding court here
in the spring'. His rulings were so just,
and his conduct so courteous, that he cap
tured the people, and they resolved to sup
port him for Congress, provided he en
tered the field. Of course there are other
good men in the race, but Emanuel’s
choice is Adams first, last, and all the
time.
Next to the interest in the Congressional
race comes our local affairs. For the
position of Senator for the Sixteenth
Senatorial district there are four or five
candidates, but the fight has narrowed
itself down between Judges J. P. Fughs
ley and Geo. S. Rountree, with the chances
in favor of the former.
For Representatives and county officers
candidates are as thick as blackberries in
June.
Col. Walter n. Livingston, of our bar,
is a candidate for Solicitor General of the
Middle judicial circuit, with fair pros
pects of success. He is an able lawyer,
an upright citizen, and a gentleman.
Crops are very fine, and the people gen
erally are in good spirits.
Palmetto.
Hi* Mistake.
Merchant Trareler.
A gentleman on East Fourth street
found a ragged tram]) sitting on his front
steps eating his lunch.
“Here! What are vou doing there?” he
shouted.
“Partaking ot a slight lunch. Will you
join me?” the tramp politely responded.
“N’o: I don’t want any of your villain
ous feed.”
“That’s so; it is pretty tough kind of
fodder. I just got it out of your kitchen.
Your wife must be doing her own cooking
now.”
“What’s that, you infernal hound?” ex
claimed the angry man, starting toward
the tramp, stilt sitting quietly on the step.
“Don’t get excited, sir; don’t get ex
cited ; think a minute. Aren’t you mis
taken in calling me a hound?”
“No, I’m not; and I’ll—”
“But, my dear sir, you are mistaken; f.
am no hound, I'm a setter.”
The gentleman gazed at the tramp in
admiration and left him to finish his
lunch.
Among the Alligators.
“Will you kindly tell me which way the
wind blows!” asked a Northern invalid of
the landlord of a Florida hotel.
“Certainly, 6ir,” replied the
stepping to the ddor, “the wind p’ w
blows due north; sir.”
“Thank you.”
A little later the landlord said* 0
bookkeeper:
“Have you made out Mr. Sir t “’ s
yet ?”
“No, sir.” „ , .
“Well, just charge one °" ar to his I
account for information aF ut direc- I
tion of the wind.”
The Safest amt Best Jt * pnal Remedy.
It is safe to take r an d r <ith’B Pills at
any time, but to gr best results they
guOllIU m Df *A*rrtinCil t fJO
ig to bed. It on the night 'you
| take them to eat tittle or no supper. As
no two people *re affected precisely the
same by aiikeQuantity of the same medi
cine, it is diff'cult to determine the dose;
and it is son*thing which must be left to
the discretion of the patients. We will
say, thougo, the average dose for an adult
is from f*ur to ten according to effect.
For constipation or Dyspepsia, one or
two taken every night will, in a short time,
perform an absolute cure. It is well to
take a purgative at least once or twice a
month as a preventive of disease, and as
these Pills are entirely vegetable, and are
made with the greatest care, we know j
them to be the safest and most effective
purgative ever introduced to the public.
They have been 6ohl in this country tor
over fifty years, and have in that time at
tained an unprecedented popularity.
Arsenic Pills by the rint.
J. A. Smith, a Gainesville, Ga., mer
chant, says: “For years I was a victim to
the combined effects of Erysipelas and an
aggravated type of Eczema, that baffled
all medical skill. I consulted the very
best physicians in the United States to no
good purpose. I gave every patent medi
cine that was recommended a faithful
trial and received no benefit. I took large
quantities of potash and a pint cup full of
arsenic pills. The patent medicine, pills,
and potash mixtures fed instead of curing
the disease. They destroyed my appetite
and wrecked my system—l lost flesh and
energy—l lost three years rrom mv busi
ness and spent $2,000 -111 a fruitless* effort
to regain my health. At last, when I be
gan to consider my case hopeless, I com
menced taking S. S. 8., and in a short
time 1 was entirely cured. I waited a
year after a cure was effected, and con
tinued to take Swift’s Specific off and on
as a sort of safeguard before I was willing
to make public this marvelous cure. Be!
ing assured beyond the possibility of a
doubt that the cure was permanent, I
wrote this history of my case for the bene
fit of my fellow-men.
“My skin is now as smooth as it was
when a boy. I weigh more than I ever
did in my life, and my general health was
never better. I passed through last win
ter ( which was an unusuallv cold one),
without losing a single day from mv busi
ness. For the last twelve months! have
had no return of the erysipelas in any
shape or form, or any touch of eczema.”
