The Cincinnati papers say that the deal

is no demand for their wares in Ohio or
Indiana on account of the dullness of the

The Philadelphia Press, an ultra Blaine

will it be explained why Blaine was so
closely connected with them in business
and politics a few years ago?
The offer ol Mr. Austin Corbin to lease
the East River bridge for a company of
capitalists for 20 years, at a yearly rental
or $250,000. shows that shrewd financiers

While that sum is less than two per cent,
of the cost of the bridge, it is considerably
more than the net profits promise to
ajnount to under the present manage

The Republican National Committee

is one of the bold moves cf the aggressive

Some Interesting Figures.
The Secretary of War and the officials
ot the Signal Service Bureau appear to be
greatly exercised by the charge that the
attorneys for the government who have
charge of the civil case against Capt.
Hnwgate, the notorious embezzler and
fugitive from justice, cannot get any
statement from the Signal Service Office
respecting Capt. Ilowgate’s affairs. It
has been know n ever since Howgate’sdis
appcarance that he was behind in his ac
counts with the government nearly, if not
quite, SIOO,IXIO. Several years have
elapsed since llowgnte became a fugitive,
and very little appears to have been done
either to capture him or to collect from
his estate the money which he took from
the government while Chief of the Signal
Office.
It is a remarkable fact that the Treas
ury !Kicks do not show that Hnwgate is in
debted to the government. It appears
that bis accounts wore closed without
showing the shortage in his accounts.
The least that can la 1 said about ibis ie
culiar condition or aff airs is that it shows
a queer kind of bookkeeping in the Treas
ury Department.
This llowgnte case draws attention to
the tabulation that has been going on
among government officials since the Re
publican party came into power. Not
long ago Mr. McPherson, the Secretary of
tii* 1 Republican Congressional Committee,
published a campaign document showing
that the defalcations among public offi
cials during the present administration
amounted to only $5,364. If this docu
ment contained the truth 'here would not
be much ground for complaint of corrup
tion in high places, but, unfortunately, it
does not. Mr. Post, the Secretary ot the
Democratic Congressional Committee,
has prepared a statement showing the
amount of the defalcations to be $1,550,-
800. ft is curious bow Mr. McPherson
could have made such an extraordinary
mistake. But, then, his aim was to make
it appear that Republican officials have
always been honest.
A little further examination of figures
may be interesting. Mr. McPherson shows
that from the beginning of Washington’s
administration to 1801 there was stolen
from the government by public officials
IffM-iL’sS* !*•>. The period covered was
seventy-two years. Congressmen Post
shows that during the twenty-three years
of Republican administration $15,527,-
025 27 was stolen by public officials. This
is a very discreditable showing for the
Republicans. It is probable that Mr. Mc-
Pherson regrets that he invited the atten
tion of the country to the honesty of Re
publican officials.
Dees the country need any stronger
evidence than that which the figures of
Mr. Post present of the necessity of taking
the control of the government from the
Republicans?
The Railroad Commission and the
Naval Stores Industry.
Some of the naval stores producers are
of the opinion, it seems, that the Railroad
Commission is, in some respects, hurtful
to their industry. As some legislation
respecting the commission is expected by
the next Legislature'it would be well to
have a very full and trank understanding
of all the points wherein the commission
fails to serve the best interests of the peo
ple. The Legislature will not lie able to
act intelligently without it has all the
facts liefore it. The commission itself, it
appears from its last report, does not hold
that it is an absolutely perfect institution,
and suggests certain reformatory legisla
tion.
With respect to naval stores, it seems
that the commission interferes with the
transportation of low grade rosin to mar
ket. In fact, it is found impossible, if re
ports are to be relied upon, to market this
class or rosin at all under the existence of
the low prices for the article and the rul
ings of the commission.
One of the largest naval producers in
the State is Mr. D. B. Paxton. His farm
is verv extensive and is skillfully man
aged. It extends about ten miles along
the Ochlockonee river, and is nearly three
miles deep. To a correspondent of the
Thomasville Enterprise, Mr. Paxton, a
few days ago, gave some interesting in
formation about tt e naval stores business.
The following is an extract from the cor
respondent’s letter -
Before the days of the Railroad Com
mission a farm as well equipped, econonu
eallv and svstematically managed as Mr.
Paxton’s, would have paid handsomely.
But the ruinous policy ol the Railroad
Commissioners has almost completely
paralyzed this industry and caused many
interested in it to lose thousands of dol
lars. Of course other circumstances were
the primarv cause of these disasters, but
if the railroads had not been handicapped
t.v the Commissioners, but had laren per
mitted to adjust their rates to theexigen
cies of the business in this section, many
would have been able to tide over the
-hard times” wave that is sweeping over
the country at present, and they would
have made some money where they are
now losing thousands.
This not only affects the present but the
future of naval stores. Thousands ot
acres along the line of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway that might
have paid very well for thirty or forty
years to come, have been and are con
tinually being turned loose to the ravages
of the flames, just because the “just and
reasonable rates” established by the
Commissioners to prevent unjust dis
crimination, etc., have proven to the naval
stores men the worst kind of discrimina
tion against their business, and have well
nigh ruined an industry that might have
been a considerable source of revenue to
Southern Georgia for a numlier of years.
If they are any doubting Thomases as
to these statements they can be thoroughly
convinced of the naked and unwholesome
truth ol what we say, by a conversation
with Mr. Paxton and other prominent
naval stores producers.
The purpose of creating the Railroad
Commission was to prevent the railroads
from damaging any of the industries of
the State by unjust discriminations. The
naval stores industry is one of the most
important in the State. If it is being
damaged by the Commission, as claimed,
it is certainly time that the law under
which tlic Commission acts was modi
fied.
Riaine ami tlie South.
Hlfiine is in New Y ork for the purpose,
it is said, of consulting with his managers
about plans for conducting the campaign.
It has been apparent for quite a while
that Blaine is directing his own cam
paign, and that all movements of impor
tance are made by his orders.
For sometime the advisability of mak
ing a campaign in the South has been
discussed, and, if the Blaine papers are to
be believed.it has been seriously discussed.
Notwithstanding the fact that the signs are
all the other way, the Republican mana
gers persist in declaring that the Repub
licans have a chance of carrying West
Virginia in October. It may lie that they
are sincere. If they should carry that
State they think they will have an excel
lent chance of carrying other Southern
States in November. It is not probable
that a campaign will be made in the South
by the Republicans unless they receive
encouragement bv a victory in SVest Vir
ginia.
Blaine, it is alleged, is ambitious not
only to be elected, but also to be elected
with the help of the South. To break the
solid South would add a great deal, he
thinks, to his reputation as a political
manager.
The South would certainly like to hear
some of the best of the Republican orators.
It would give them a cordial welcome and
a patient hearing. The South would like
to hear what the advocates of Blaine can
say in tavor of their candidate in face of
the damaging testimony against him in
the Mulligan letters.
It does not look as if the South would
get much ■ fun out of this 'campaign.
Stump speakers are scarce, and political
meetings are few. A lot of Blaine stump
speakers would enliven the political situ
ation a great deal. The South can stand
all the speakers that the Republican party
can spare, provided they are of the right
sort. There is no danger that they can
win Southern votes to the Blaine stand
ard to an extent that will be appreciable.
Southern men have not yet get rid of the
notion that integrity counts for some
thing in a public man. No amount of
argument can convince them that a man
with a record like Blaine’s is fit to be
President.
Mrs. Lockwood should not miss the op
portunity to make a few rousing cam
paign speeches. No doubt she could easily
get the last word on her opponents.
Sherman on Sorghum.
Senator Sherman was not very enthusi
astic when he was in Cincinnati last
week. He was as cool as he usually
is, if not a little more so, and that aj>-
parently is not far from freezing point.
The Senator is an honorary member of
the Chamber of Commerce of that city,
and he made a speech before that body
that had a good deal ot sound com
mon sense, and perhaps some nonsense, in
it. After congratulating the city that it
hail passed through the flood, the riot (no
allusion by way of comparison to Dan
ville), and the panic, he pitched into the
great industrial problem of the day—over
production. He said: “A remedy can
lie reached by a little patience. One
thing is certain, overproduction
must be stopped, however difficult that
may be. 1 have an idea in this connec
tion. Suppose you manufacture all the
sugar used in this country. We pay out
annually $180,000,000 to foreign countries
for sugar. If that was all made here,
would it not lighten up the burden? It is
my conviction that we can doit. We have
in this valley great capabilities for raising
sorghum. It can be manufactured into
stood sugar by anew process. In my opin
ion sorghum can be made one of the in
dustries of this city. Why is it that Ger
many and France are producing all their
own sugar from the beet? Why can twe
do as well here? Our soil and climate are
fitted for beet raising.”
The Senator is not the first man by a
good deal who has suggested the develoi>-
ment of the sorghum and beet-root indus
tries in the United States. Attempts to
make sugar from beet-roots in this coun
try have not been very successful so far
as profits .are concerned. Beets are raised
easily enough, and there is no trouble in
getting the sugar out of them, but there
seems not to be euough money in the busi
ness to cause it to even promise to be one
of our great industries.
Sorghum appears to have a fair start
now, notwithstanding the fact that the
expensive government experiments
rather discouraged the country in the
beginning. There is a pretty good pros
pect that the number of sorghum sugar
mills and the quantity of sugar made
from sorghum will rapidly increase. This
industry, however, has not yet gone
beyond the mere experimental stage. If
the manufacture or sorghum sugar and
the raising of the canes prove profitable
for awhile, it is to be feared that they
will never become permanent industries
in this country. Sorghum is an extremely
exhausting cron, soon rendering land
sterile, and tanners will probably not
continue its cultivation very long, even
on the rich lands of the West.
With better management and improved
methods of manufacture, genuine cane
sugar may yet supply the American
market. There can be little doubt that
cane is now a more profitable crop than
cotton.
Perry and Pope.
The contrast between the enthusiasm
in Florida awakened by Gen. Perry’s can
vass and that ol Mr. Pope is so marked
that it excites very general comment.
Gen. Perry is everywhere received with
manifestations of welcome, and every
courtesy is shown him. llis audiences
are large and enthusiastic. He is over
whelmed with attentions. Mr. Pope ap
pears to have a pretty hard time of it.
Lfis white supporters are comparatively
tew, and the negroes care nothing for
him. lie fails to awaken any interest
among his colored supporters. The re
ports of the press are that in some places
where he has held meetings he has had
so lew to hear him as hardly to make it
worth his while to speak.
This condition of affairs is as it ought to
be. The Democrats have no occasion to
waste their time on Mr. Pope, and the
negroes have no reason to expect any
recognition from him if he should be
elected. Both parties know that in Gen.
Perry the State will have a zealous
guardian of her interests, and that the
rights ot all classes of people will be re
spected and protected.
Why, then, should either party bother
itself about Mr. Pope? Neither party
does now, and neither party will, to any
great extent, at the election.
Mr. Blaine, in a letter to William Wal
ter Phelps, explains that he was secretly
married to his present wife in Kentucky
in the presence of trusted friends, several
months before he was publicly married to
her in Pennsylvania. This secret mar
riage, be says, is the foundation of the
scandal which has been spread abroad re
specting his domestic affairs. Mr. Blaine,
of course, sees the necessity of producing
these trusted friends. It he caunot pro
duce them he would have acted with more
wisdom by not noticing the scandal.
Old man Morosini, the coachman’s fath
er-in-law, has been compelled to leave his
home in Y'onkers by the annoyance of the
ill-bred and curious people who watched
his house and dogged himself and family
wherever they went. People who have
nothing to do but to watch and worry their
neighbors ought to be given some employ
ment by the public officers.
Just as the Blaine managers were con
gratulating themselves that they were to
have the great moral and religious in
fluence of the Independent added to their
cause, that paper comes out boldly for St.
John, as “the only lit man to be voted
tor.” ’Twas ever thus.

Blaine is coming to town, and there is to be

over the case of Blaine just now will be more
in the nature of a coroner’s inqncst than a
council of war, and the committee ought to be
peculiarly filled with the spirit of Mark Tarp
ley if it can possibly be jolly under the adverse
circumstances that confront the Blaine boom.

“Yaas,” said an old settler, "we ran hosses

race?” “Hit war.” “Mile or half track?”
“Hit war a fifty-mile track, stranger. Texas

“You bet.” “How much did you win?” “I

Horse Talk.—A talkative old German on
an Austin street car remarked to thb next
passenger how useful and intelligent horses
were, and how difficult it would be to have to
do without them. “Yes, some horses have
more sense and spirit than men,” responded
the passenger, who happened to be an Ameri
can. “Ya. dot vas so.” “For instance, that
horse that pitched the old Emperor last week
did what the German people have never
dared attempt. That horse threw the Empe
ror overboard. When will the people of Ger
many ever have the pluck even to bint at such
a thing?” The old German was mad, and as

II OKS FORD’S ACID PHOSPHATE
A Good Thing.
I)r. Adam Miller, Chicago, 111., says:
“1 have recommended Horsford’s Acid
Phosphate to my patients, and have re
ceived very favorable reports. It is one
of the very few really valuable prepara
tions now offered to the afflicted. In a
practice of thirty-live years I have found
a few good thiugs, and this is one of
WHO MULLIGAN IS.
The Man to Whom the Plumed Knight
Bent In Supplication.
James Mulligan, says a Boston special
to the Philadelphia Times, is a singular
individual. He has lived in this city for
more than thirty years, and always occu
pied positions of trust and responsibility.
In all of them he has shown bimsell an
exemplary citizen, and no man’s word
stands higher than his. This Irishman
occupies a peculiar position in this com
munity. He came from the north ot Ire
land years ago. and leans to the. Pf^
ant rather than the Catholic faith, w ith
a stubborn idea ol integrity, he is every
where known as a man whose word is as
goodlU his bond. No one in tins city or
elsewhere could charge him with ani un
truth or with bad faith and be believed.
Ever since ho landed in this country he
has occupied the highest confaden
tial positions with business men.
As seen along the streets one
would wonder that such grave re
sponsibilities had been committed to hte
charge. If Dickens had have known him
in his palmy days no more interesting
character than‘this could h ave H t>e '‘“
woven into his beautiful stories. He re
minds one of the confidential clerk ot a
great law firm as this individual is pre
sented in the plays. Of about medium
height, with an easy, shuffling gait and
slender build, he moves about his busi
ness and leisure in a perfectly methodical
way. His face is small and the lines in it
rather severely drawn. Like almost all
old bachelors, he is scrupuously neat m
his dress and evidently dyes his hair.
Perhaps this man is 50 years old or more,
and yet it would be hard to guess within
ten years of his age, so neat and nice does
he look for a man of his years.
WHERE AND HOW HE LIVES.
There is a little hotel down in the older
end of the city, where he has lived lor
more than a quarter of a century. It is a
quiet, home-like place, known as the New
England House, and a relic of by-gone
days. Yet this upright and peculiar
Milesian in wealth clings to the old habi
tation where he began to board almost as
soon as he had landed in America poor.
Mulligan has had a curious career. For
a time he handled the cash of one of the
best theatres in Boston. Afterward he
was the confidential bookkeeper of the
Stanwoods, relatives of the Blaines, and
is now, and lias been for many years, the
trustee of what is known as the t isher
estate. He has handled millions of money
without mistakes in his accounts, and is
still a trusted expert in financial
affairs. In the capacity of court manager
of the Fisher estate these letters of Mr.
Blaine’s came into his possession. They
were a part of the assets of YV arren
Fisher when he passed through bank
ruptcy. Mulligan did not in the first in
stance intrude them before the public,
and was in no wise responsible for their
being given to the world. YVhen called
to Washington in 1876 to testify he was a
most unwilling witness, but the facts of
Mr. Blaine’s transactions with Mr. Fisher
were forced from him by tlie action of
some very prominent Republicans in this
city. _______
Bulwer Lytton’s Bridge,
Where it Touches the Shores and the
Great Columns in Midstream.
“What a beautiful bridge between old age
and childhood is religion. How intuitively
the child begins with prayer and worship on
entering life, and liow intuitively, on quitting
life, the old man turns back to prayer and
worship, putting himself again side by side
with flic infant,” remarks Sir E. Bulwer Lyt
ton, in his “Strange Story.”
Yes, but between its distant abutments the
bridge of life hasmany high and awful arches,
through which the wild waters dasli and roar
in wrath aud desolation. Prayer and worship
alone do not sustain these. Nature’s solid
rocks must lie unshaken beneath, and human
art and skill must rear and solidify the struc
ture overhead. God’s will is best exemplified
in the laws He lias made for the creatures
whom He lias placed under their control.
Neither tlie child’s trustful “Our father,’
nor the old man’s “Forget me not in the midst
of mine infirmities,” will alter this by the
weight of a single grain.
Science and art first -then faith and prayer
—is the order of Heaven itself. Divinity heals
through its agents, and those agents are the
discoveries of man; not the vague announce
ments of prophets or seers. Is life a burden
to you? Does time drag? is your power to
cope with life's problem aud duties weakened?
You are not well. Your blood is sluggish and
tainted, perhaps; or sonic important organ is
torpid or overworked. This fact may have
taken the form of dyspepsia, rheumatism,
gout, malaria, pains in the stomach, chronic
headache, or any of a dozen other ills. PAR
KER’S TONIC will invigorate you, as fresh
air invigorates those who have been shut up
in damp, fetid cells. It is powerful, pure, de
licious, scientific, safe—the keystone of the
central arch of the bridge of life.
