The Laborer* Champion.
I Whatever selfish demiftogues may say
'in their efforts to advance their ambitious
schemes by obtaining the votes of the
workingmen under false pretenses, the
fact stands forth prominently that no
party has done so much for the working
men of the Union since the foundation of
the government as the Democratic party.
Not only is this true, but no other party
can do so much for them in the future,
because there is no other that can hope to
get control of the government, that is
really friendly to them, whatever profuse
promises may be made in party platforms.
A review of what was done by the
Democratic House at the recent session
of Congress makes a showing honorable
to the party and which should satisfy all
reasonable and unprejudiced working
men as to whose hands their interests are
the safest in.
Among the doings of the House looking
directly to the benefit of the labor of the
country was—first, the creation of the
Committee on Labor: second, the estab
lishing of the Bureau of Labor Statistics;
third, tne abolishing of hospital dues from
seamen, and providing for the support of
the marine hospitals from tonnage tax;
fourth, it struck out of the appropriation
bills the provisions authorizing the em
ployment of convict labor on the public
buildings in Montana; fifth, it passed a
bill prohibiting the importation of foreign
laborers by large contractors to compete
with American labor (this bill the Re
publican Senate failed to pass); sixth,
the Committee on Labor of the House fa
vored an apjieal to the States to abolish
the convict hiring system, etc.; and sev
enth, for the benefit of agricultural labor
ers the House passed bills forfeiting the
unearned railroad land grants, which, if
they had been agreed to by the Republi
can Senate, would have restored millions
of acres of land to the public domain,
where it would have been subject to
settlement by the people.
The record of the Democratic party so
far as relates to the interests of the work
ingmen is an earnest of what it will do
for them should it come into power. The
Republican party has been profuse in
promises and professions of friendship to
laboring men, but it has been extremely
slack in performance. It has been scru
pulous to keep the word of promise to the
ear and break it to the hope. It is the
party of monopolists, and its candidate
for the Presidency is a monopolist of the
most pronounced type. The policy of the
Republican party is to make the rich mo
nopolists richer, and to keep the poor
people poor.
The hope of laboring men, whether they
are mechanics, operatives, agriculturists
or seamen is in the success of the Demo
cratic party. Let them avoid all jingoism
and Butlerism, and other humbuggery,and
come out squarely for Democracy and
victory.
The Cuban Annexation Scheme.
The New York Times’ Madrid corre
spondent has picked up some new points
respecting the sale of Cuba to the United
States. He says that the Government of
Spain is largely dependent upon two
jiersons—the Pope and Bismarck. It is
the purpose of these two persons to
preserve the present dynasty in Spain.
They do not want a republic. A republic
in Europe does not mean the same
thing that it does in this country. Those
favoring a republic in Spain are dream
ers, theorists, doctrinaires. Some of them
would be called cranks here. The corre
spondent says there is only one man in
Europe who knows whether Spain seri
ously contemplates selling Cuba to the
United States, and that man is Bismarck.
He states that during Grant’s administra
tion a treaty was about concluded for
the sale of Cuba to the United States for
$350,000,000, and that it was never com
pleted because Secretary Fish took it into
his head to ask other European powers if
they had any objection to the United
States obtaining possession of the island,
and was informed that they had. If Mr.
Fish had been wise and really wanted
Cuba he would have made the
purchase before asking the views of
European governments. It is hinted
that Germany has some thought of taking
charge of Cuba for a period of years.
This Is based on a statement of the Em
peror, made some time ago, that German
unity having been accomplished Ger
many would now turn her attention to
the establishment of a colonial policy.
Doubtless Spain, if she wants to get rid
of Cuba, would gladly accept much
less for it than Mr. Fish is
alleged to have offered. Cuba is a burden
to Spain and a constant drag on her
Treasury. Just what this country wants
of the island, assuming that it does want
it, does not appear. The people in a great
part of the island are actually starving, if
reports are to be credited. The price ol
sugar is so low that it can only be pro
duced at a loss. It is said that
the best improved sugar lands,
with all their costly sugar making ma
chinery, can be purchased for $lO an
acre. Cuba, it is claimed, will become
an object of the world’s char
ity inside of six months if the
price of sugar does not greatly improve.
Blaine is credited with saying, however,
that Cuba is worth to this country $300,-
000,000. lt would be dear as a gift.
That Cotton Picker.
Planters who have faith in the possi
bility of picking cotton by machinery will
be somewhat disappointed to bear that
the machine invented by Mason, of South
Carolina, will not be put on the market
this fall. It is said that it is the ninety
seventh cotton picking machine that has
been invented, and the only one that has
proved a success. While tho practi
cability of the machine ha 9 not
been directly questioned, and while
it has been stated that the inventor
has had unlimited capital at his disposal,
it is announced that it is not yet perfected.
Several new and improved machines have
been built and Mr. Mason will take ad
vantage of the earliest cotton that opens
this season to correct the defects in them,
and wijl then exhibit them at the various
fairs and expositions throughout the
South during the fall and winter.
It is to be hoped that the inventor will
be able to overcome the difficulties re
maining in his way. Those familiar with
the cotton plant and fruit can easily im
agine what these difficulties are. Proba
bly there is not one planter in a hundred
who has not, at some time in his life, con
sidered the invention of a cotton picking
machine, but the irregular growth ot the
plant, and the peculiar manner in which
the cotton is produced, among
the leaves and branches, have
been seemingly insuperable obstacles
in their way. While there is no difficulty
in constructing a machine that will pick
cotton, there are thousands of planters
who will never believe that it can be
gathered by machinery free of trash and
leaves and without injury to the plant
and immature bolls. Probably the mo3t
promising aid to cotton picking will be
some modification of the barbed glove,
heretofore experimented with to 6ome ex
tent. *
If Mason makes his machine an un
doubted success, it will not only be worth
a fortune to the inventor, but will save
the planters of the South millions of dol
lars annually.

The Watermelon Outlook.
This is the last year, according to the
talk among the melon growers, in which
attempts will be made to raise and
ship watermelons on a large scale
in Georgia. The truck farmers say
they have become satisfied at last
that there is little or no money to be
made on melons under existing conditions.
The crops of the last two years have only
benefited the railroad companies and the
commission merchants, and the man who
raises melons largely hereafter to be
shipped to distant points and sold on com
mission, will no doubt be laughed at as
an incorrigible simpleton.
The farmers have made a faithful and
determined effort to develop anew branch
of production, and they have failed.
Probably the failure has to some extent
been the result of their own errors. In
some sections misfortunes have contribu
ted to it, but they don’t feel exactly satis
fied on the subject. They may lie wrong
about it, but they feel like they haye been
badly treated by the railroads and com
mission men. On most shipments this
year fair prices were realized in the
markets, but the freights, the commissions
and the shortage on spoiled melons have
eaten up the sums realized, and, in many
instances, left the farmers in debt to the
commission merchants, after losing all the
cost of making the melons and putting
them on board the cars. They think that
the railroads should have charged no
higher rates than on other bulky goods,
especially as they accept no responsibili
ty for melons spoiled in transitu. They
think also that many of the commission
men have acted dishonestly, and
have reported too many melons
spoiled or the prices at less
than was really obtained. They
are unanimous in the opinion that ten per
cent, is an extortionate charge for com
missions, especially when the nature of
the sendees rendered is considered. Xo
doubt small areas will continue to be
planted to supply the home market, and
limited quantities may be shipped, but
there will probably be a demand on the
part of the producers to have the money
in hand for their melons before they are
out of sight. There were great possibili
ties in the melon crop, but the farmers are
completely discouraged, and it will doubt
less take them a good while to regain con
fidence in it.

In view of the fact that Mr. Logan was the

however, that in 1853 the colored man was not
a voter, whereas at this time he enjovs the
inestimable boon of the franchise, and hence
is an object of considerable interest to party
candidates.

Speaking of “American Judaism,” the

may impose upon them, they will speak Eng
lish’, think in English, speak "and feel and think
American. None born in this couhtry can lie
a foreigner, nobody wants to be an alien. If
anybody is ignorant of this fact let him mix a
few days among the voting Ameriean Israel
ites lo be convinced that all peculiarities in
language, manners and habits brought from
other countries are eradicated, and with most
of them not a trace thereof is left. All that
is left of the European in the American Is
raelite may be redueed to two elements, the
historical consciousness, ‘I am a scion of Is
rael.’which is connected with the religious
feelings peculiar to Israelites, and energetic
intelligence peculiar to the denomination,
which makes it impossible for him to become
a dogmatic Christian.”

lIED SNOW IN THE KOCKIES.
A Phenomenon Thought to Go Toward
Explaining the Crimson Sunset Puzzle.
It appears at first to present facts, says
the Denver Republican, which illustrate
and confirm the theory that the red sun
seta were caused by meteoric dust. The
red sunsets of some time ago have at last
been solved. Our reporter returned
recently from a flying trip to Gunnison
county. While there he lound the snow
on the tops of the ranges as red as if
it had been sprinkled with red pepper.
Being supplied with chemicals and a blow
pipe outfit, he was enabled to make
a test and found it to be meteoric iron. It
could not have been a wash from the
mountain, as it was on the top of the
range as we 1 as lower down, and only on
the surtace of the snow. Upon digging
down a few inches the snow was clean
and white. The sun shining through this
cloud of red oxide of iron caused its rays
to appear red, giving the same effect of a
piece ot red glass. This dust fell over the
entire earth, but was invisible except
where caught by the perpetual snow on
tne mountain tops.
A reporter of the Republican called at
the residence of Prof. P. H. van Diest and
handed him the above article to read.
Prof, van Diest said he did not think the
theory advanced a correct one. “It could
not have been meteoric iron,” said the
Professor, “because iron would by its
specific gravity have sunk beneath the
surface of the snow, and, in addition to
this the color would not have been red,
as it is described to have been, but it
would have been more like ochre. I
imagine that the red substance found
upon the snow was the pollen of some
flower which had been carried from a dis
tance by tbe winds. This has been noticed
before, travelers in the Arctic regions
having spoken of seeing similar appear
ances upon the snow. Examinations have
shown it to be vegetable and not mineral.”

IX THE UP COUNTRY.
Interesting Points About Dalton—The
Country Along the Line of the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Kail
road.
Correal ondenoe cf the Morning Xnet.
Dalton, July 25.—1n passing over the
East Tennessee system of railroads one
is surprised at the variety of country
through which it runs. From the low
marshy lands of the seacoast of Georgia
up to the summit of the Blue Ridge, and
from the rolling Mississippi at Memphis
to the Atlantic ocean at Norfolk, a pas
senger has almost every variety of land
scape known upon the continent. The pro
ductions of these sections are as varied as
the country, and . contribute to the
prosperity of railroad enterprise, as well
as to that of the whole land. For the
tourist, there is not a more charming
route to be found, whether the object be
a cool retreat in “a continuity of shade,”
upon some mountain top, or a bubbling
spring with its life giving waters gushing
out of some rocky fastness, or the surf
bath in old ocean’s waves in the summer
time, or a sunny resting place amid trop
ical luxuries in the land of flowers during
the winter. For the traveler, this route
affords comfort and speed, being thor
oughly equipped with the latest and best
improvements. For traffic its facilities
are equal to the best.
DALTON IS A TOWN
of about 3,000 inhabitants. It was one of
the most noted points during the war,
being at the junction of the East Tennes
see and the Western and Atlantic Rail
roads. It suffered by the presence of both
armies during that time, and much of it
was destroyed. After the removal of
Federal troops, the people returned to
their ruined homes, disappointed and sick
at heart, but their spirits were not broken.
They went to work to retrieve their losses,
and Dalton has come to be the city of
North Georgia. Her railroads, manufac
turing and educational enterprises have
placed her in the forefront of Georgia
towns, and many new comers from the
West are making their homes among this
sturdy people, and will greatly assist in
building up the material prosperity of this
section. There are two excellent weekly
papers published here, the Citizen and
Anjus , and their subscription lists ex
hibit the appreciation of their efforts by
the people.
Some fifteen miles above here, on the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
Road, just across the Tennessee line, is
a spring of wonderful historical interest.
It is on the plantation of Mr. Arthur
Trainor, and was known among the In
dians a hundred years ago as Tuck-e
--lee-shee or “Drink and Live” spring.
It is a bold, clear stream coming from
a mountain side. There is a creek into
which it empties, a short distance below,
and no matter how muddy the water in
the creek may be the spring flow main
tains its puri’ty long after it comes in
contact with the stream. This spring
has been famous since the early settle
ment of the country for its curative prop
erties. The Cherokees brought hither
their sick from all parts of the nation,
some in conveyances, some on rude
crutches, and others on litters. Some of
the old citizens of this section remember
when hundreds of Indians visited the
spot for the benefit of the water. Tra
dition says at one time there were over a
thousand Indian tents around this spring.
It was the great sanitarium of the nation,
and hence they gave it the name of
“Drink-aml-Live.”
THIS IMMEDIATE VICINITY
is full of romantic interest. Here the
red man, upon the rai id flowing streams,
paddled his light canoe, or slumbered in
bis lonely wigwam. Just three miles
rom this point at Red Clay, the late Rev.
Peyton Wade, well known in Savannah,
purchased a farm where many Iruian
chiefs were buried". Among them nre the
graves of Rattling Gourd. Jay-you-nah,
Black Snake and Storm. The Indian’s af
fection lor the resting place of his braves
is wonderful. Many years after their re
moval beyond the Mississippi, Parson
Wade was on his way to Dal
ton, and when some miles from
home, he met an indian who had come
from the far oft’ home of the Cherokees.
The Indian inquired of Mr. Wade if the
graves of these old chiefs had been mo
lested, broken down and plowed over?
Mr. Wade assured him that they had not,
that a fence had been put round them,
and the graves had never been disturbed.
This satisfied the wandering Cherokee,
and he turned about and commenced his
long journey homeward. It was the im
pression made upon the mind of Mr.
Wade that this Indian had come with the
determination that if these graves had
been desecrated to have slain the man
who did it. His mission was ended when
he was convinced that the white man re
vered the resting place of his fathers.
Sleeping Rabbit, another Indian chief,
lies buried on the tarm of Col. J.G. Mills,
of Red Clay. Remembering the incident
given above, the Colonel takes great care
of this lonely grave, and not a stone has
been removed since he has become pro
prietor ot the place. In the yard of Col.
Mills stands the log house in which the
treaty of peace was signed by the Indian
chiels of the various nations and by Gen.
Jackson at the close of the Indian war of
1836. Col. Mills is taking every precau
tion to preserve it. Just why this point
has not attracted more public attention is
hard to determine.

They were anticipating a pleasant time,
and no doubt will have it. The East Ten

on their way intent on seeing all that
could be seen along this magnificent
route. Some interesting reading may be
expected in many of the Georgia papers
when the editors get back at their desks.

RISE AND FALL OF JUDGES.
A Practical Joke That Led to a Tem
perance Revival,
Life.
Judge William Carter, of Sheboygan,
Mich., and Judge Caswell Marks, of
Selma, Ala., were both natives of Lexing
ton, Ky. In boyhood they had jammed the
same cat’s head into the same milk
pitcher, stolen peaches from the same
tree, got trounced by the same farmers,
ancl were otherwise enviously intimate
friends, afterwards chums at college, and
then errand boys in the same office.
Later in life they parted, and rose to sub
lime honors in their separate places. Last
January they met for the first time since
their parting, in Lexington, and brewed
a convivial bowl in honor of the event.
About midnight, full of en
thusiasm, they retired in bed.
It was a huge .affair, standing nF/he mid
dle of the room and capable of being
drawn up by ropes to the ceiling while
the room was being cleaned. It was a
very cold night, and they placed their
clothing on the loot of the bed. Just
after they fell asleep four friends entered
softly, drew the bed by the ropes nearly
to the ceiling, and left them thus sus
pended about ten feet from the floor.
They then locked the door outside and
retired.
At 3 a. m. Judge Carter woke with that
species of thirst which usually comes
alter Kentucky punch and technically
known as “hot coppers.” Leaping out
of bed to get the ice pitcher, he went
whirling down 10 feet, alighting with a
soul-stirring thump on all fours.
There was a long and painful pause.
Then he peered upward through the dark
ness and called:
“Caswell!”
[No reply.]
••O, Caswell!”
[Feeble cries.]
“Cuz!”
“Eh?—um?—what?” The Judge was
awakening.
“I’ve fallen through a trap,” yelled the
now affrighted Judge; “get up and light
a candle.”
“Where are you?” queried Judge Car
ter sleepily, framing -his opinion that his
honorable brother was drunk.
“Down here. Fell through a trap.
Don’t get out on my side of the bed.”
“All right.” And Judge Marks spring
ing out on his own side, turned three
somersaults and landed on the small of
his back. Both were now convinced they
had fallen into a den of thieves and were
possibly to be murdered. The jokers had
closed the heavy wooden shutters so no
light could enter and removed all the fur
niture. The judges groped around on
hands and knees, nearly frozen to death,
and only at daybreak discovered the bed,
climbed into it and got warm enough to
talk the thing over.
There were recently two temperance
societies started under glorious auspices.
The headquarters of one is at Selma; the
other at Sheboygan.

REIiICS OF BUCHANAN.
The Furniture end Brlc--Brnc from
Wheatland to be Sold t Auction.
The household furniture belonging to
Wheatland, President Buchanan’s old
homestead, near Lancaster, says the Phil
adelphia Telegraph, has been received by
the auctioneers, and will be offered at pub
lic sale in September.
The homestead is a tine old mansion,
surrounded by waving trees, and is one of
the historical landmarks of Lancaster
county. It was occupied only a few
months ago by Mrs. Harriet Lane John
son, of Baltimore, a niece of the dead
President. It was then purchased by Mr.
George B. Wilson, a retired merchant,
living in Lancaster, who wished to take
possession at once. The contents were
removed as hastily as possible, and
shipped to Davis Harvey, and are now
on the second floor of the auction house,
on Chesnut street, above Twelfth.
It is a curious and interesting collec
tion, and comprises many costly presents
given to Mr. Buchanan by his personal
friends and associates. An elegantly
carved French walnut centre-table, three
feet in diameter, and a large cabinet of
same material are two of the handsomest
articles in the collection. The President’s
own desk and arm-chair, made of massive
mahogany, are of interest. An antique
higb-case'clock, a spinning-wheel, an old
English oak hall-chair, a large inlaid
music-box and an antique card-table are
also noticed. A massive mahogany side
board of an antique pattern, which stood
in the dining-hall of the old homestead for
many years, attracts attention, and will
no doubt give rise to spirited competition
among relic-hunters. There is also a very
curious relic which is perhaps one of the
most valuable in the collection. It is a
hall-stand or hat-rack of a peculiar de
sign. The base and back are made of
English figured oak. The wood is dark
and beautiful, and the carvings are very
elaborate. The stand is furnished with a
huge pair of antlers, fastened in the mid
dle of the upright piece. They are very
large, having a spread of six feet. The
prongs, twelve in number, extending on
each side of the antlers from the base to
the top, serve as pegs for the hats. The
effect of the whole is novel and beautiful.
Near the hall-stand is a Chickeriug grand
piano, elaborately carved, which is said
to have cost $1,500. It has been in the
possession of the family for many years.
Valuable plate is not wanting in the col
lection. There is an abundance of silver,
some of the larger pieces bearing a crest
and a shield and an uplifted hand holding
a dagger, probably the coat-of-arms of the
Lane family.
There are other interesting relics of the
dead President, which his niece, unwill
ing to part with, has taken to Baltimore.

“Pretty good fit, isn’t it?’’ Sam: “Con

it was. But what do you want of under
clothing made of black knit goods this hot
weather?” “Underclothing? Why, this
is the new bathing suit. Don’t you know
why they make ’em black; for it must
look funny to see a man white down to his
neck and up to the knees, and black the
rest of the way, butbeingelastic and skin

bathe in.” “See here, Alphonso, do you

ANGRY HOUSEKEEPERS
Wish to know why the Royal Baking Powder Company withhold from the Public
the simple intelligence that their Powder contains AMMONIA.
Eminent Physicians ami Chemists
SAY THAT
Ammonia is a Dangerous Drug
in any human diet. Its use in food is an offense to nature.
Tartrate of Lime is found in all Cream of Tartar. It is a natural product, of
vegetable origin, derived from the wines which produce Cream of Tartar. It is a
constituent of the grape, as well as other fruits.
The idea that Tartrate of Lime can be converted into lime at the temperature of
the oven is the rankest nonsense, and could only originate in the brain of one totally
devoid of chemical knowledge. The “Royal” contains it. It has no injurious action
upon the system.
The crying of “Lime” in the way the Royal Baking Powder Company do is
another trick to extricate themselves from the use of the powerful drug Ammonia in
their powder.
DO NOT TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT.
Every housekeeper can prove the truth of our statements by placing a can of the
“Royal” top down on a hot stove until heated, then remove the cover and smeII—
“AMMONIA.” This test will show that the “Royal” contains AMMONIA; that
DR. PRICE’S CREAM BAKING POWDER does not contain Ammonia. The
strength of our powder can be proven by the consumers’ reliable test,
THE TEST OF THE OVEN.
Dr. Price’s Cream Baking Powder is superior to the “Royal.” It contains
no Ammonia. The “Royal” contains Ammonia. The use of Ammonia in articles of
food I believe to be injurious.— ELIAS 11. BARTLEY, B. S., M. D., Chemist of the
